Family fun with the odd ‘speccy’ GETTING together to celebrate Aboriginal Family Day at Willum Warrain last Thursday was an enjoyable part of the peninsula’s NAIDOC Week activities. A fun time was had by all. About 250 attended the day in Pound Rd with a main feature being the collaboration between Willum Warrain Medicare local and the 1st Mornington Peninsula Action Group. The theme of the day was general health and wellbeing – and a fun part of this was Speccy Dreaming, which identifies and develops children’s natural talents, self-worth and skills to encourage them to pursue and achieve their goals. Fitness is a big part of Speccy Dreaming, as is healthy living. Hip hop entertainment by Indiginous Hip Hop Projects had everyone in the mood with young Isaac, left, hopping to his own beat. A highlight was the presentation of a $5500 cheque from Mornington Peninsula police by inspector Karen Nyholm. The money – from the sale of an unused boat - will go towards the house’s youth program. “Even the rainy day didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of those attending and afterwards we had a barbecue put on by Native Oz Cuisine, of Frankston,” said Deb Mellett, a project officer in the shire’s Aboriginal Support and Development team.

Call for port rethink Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au UNIVERSITY researchers have called for a reassessment of the state government’s plans to spend an estimated $12 billion developing a container port at Hastings. They say a fall-back position is vital in case the Port of Hastings project fails. The researchers say a “simplistic”
view is being taken by governments assuming larger ships will come if a deep water port is offered. However, shipping companies will not send the world’s largest ships because the Australian market is not large enough. Smaller ships with quicker turnaround times capable of entering Port Phillip make more economic sense for carrying Victoria’s agricultural and perishable food-related exports.
The government will also have difficulty fulfilling its obligations by building a port in an internationally recognised wetland area. The researchers say decisions made on how to cope with predicted levels of imports and exports over the next 40 years will affect everyone in Victoria and should not be based solely on political decisions. In a research paper titled Build it –

but will they come? Hermione Parsons and Peter Van Duyn say shipping companies are unlikely to send mega-ships to Melbourne, with the economy being better served by similar sized vessels to those already coming and going from Port Phillip. They estimate more than 70 per cent of containers would have to reach Hastings – by road or rail – through metropolitan Melbourne, increasing

distances from the current average of 22 kilometres to more than 100. The government has yet to say how much it will cost to upgrade land transport networks. Dr Parsons said the Build it – but will they come? report was aimed at “lifting discussion [about developing the Port of Hastings] above day-to-day politics”. Continued Page 8

Driving road trauma message home
Joey rescued after mother killed in crash Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON police came to the rescue of orphaned joey after its mother was hit and killed by a car at Tuerong last week. The four-month-old joey was found alive in the pouch of its mother by two Mornington police officers after it was struck by a car at the corner of Old Mooroodoc and Balnarring roads about 11.30pm on Thursday. Police said the female driver who had accidentally struck the kangaroo was “distraught� about the mother’s death but relieved after learning the joey was still alive. The joey was taken to Balnarring Animal Rescue centre then later handed to wildlife carer Una Merrick of Wildlife Help on the Mornington Peninsula. Ms Merrick said the quick actions of the police officers had most likely saved the life of the female joey. “They’ve done exactly the right thing in first checking the pouch of the mother after it was hit by the car and then removing the joey and making sure it was quickly wrapped in a blanket and kept warm,� she said. However, she said it was still too early to know if the joey will make a full recovery. “There’s no physical damage from what we can tell but there’s no way of knowing how much stress and trauma it has suffered.
Safe hands: A four-month-old female joey was taken into care by a Wildlife Help on the Mornington Peninsula volunteer after being rescued by police following the death of its mother, which was hit by a car in Tuerong last Thursday evening.
“The next few days will be critical but it usually takes about three weeks to determine if a joey is going to make it.� Ms Merrick said the yet to be named joey was one of seven kangaroos and a dozens of other injured and orphaned native animals by cared for by WHOMP. She said the winter months usually brought a sharp rise in the number of animals hit by vehicles on the peninsula and urged drivers to take extra care. “The late sunrises and early sunsets means there are more cars on the road around dawn and dusk when kangaroos are most active. “So we’d ask drivers to slow down
as much as possible, particularly at dawn and dusk and especially around areas known for high levels of animals activity.� These include the Old Moorooduc Highway in Tuerong, where the latest incident took place, bushy areas around Balnarring and Red Hill, Browns Rd in Flinders, Boneo Rd in Cape Schanck near Bushrangers Bay and Boundary Rd in Dromana. Drivers who have hit wildlife should call the police, especially when the animal is injured and in need of help. Anyone finding an injured or orphaned animal can call WHOMP on 0417 380 687.

GETTING the road safety message into the heads of teenage drivers can be a frustrating task. A combination of youthful innocence, derring-do, high energy levels and the perceived need for speed cause far too many senseless road accidents. Young lives are lost and families left heartbroken. The challenge is near to the hearts of members of the Teenagers Road Accident Group - a bunch of committed locals who have all, sadly, been affected by teenage road trauma. They speak from the heart but their message is just common sense. The volunteers donate their time to give students information that may save them, and their families, the horror of having to cope with road trauma, and to let them know they have a choice to keep themselves safe. TRAG will hold sessions at the Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington on Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 July. The presenters will share their personal experiences with year 12 students from all over the peninsula. It’s a heart-felt task as presenters are reminded of their tragedy every time they go out on the road and pass lonely roadside memorials. They know that most, if not all, of the young deaths they grieve were avoidable. TRAG members have done faceto-face presentations to more than 100,000 students on and around the peninsula since 1999. Such is their popularity that bookings for the up-

Laughter, tears and lots of rain at O’Toole dedication By Cameron McCullough On Saturday 12 July, a large crowd braved the winter wet to attend a dedication ceremony in honour of Dermot O’Toole. It was a year to the day since his murder, but Bridget, Trent, Christian and Dale O’Toole stepped out in front of a big crowd to remember their husband and father. A laneway and memorial bench were named in his honour. The rain didn’t abate, and reference was made to the weather being more reflective of Dermot’s country of birth. Crowded in tight the crowd, many dressed in green, listened to speeches about Dermot’s murder and the profound effect it has had on his family and the wider community. Bridget spoke wonderfully of Dermot, battling through a few tough moments before ending with a story about her husband that got the crowd laughing. How he’d snuck out to the supermarket on the day of his murder for “a little bit of chocolate” before returning with a family block that he quickly consumed.
Christian, Dale and Trent all spoke of their love for their dad, and how much they missed him. Dale, whose son was born just weeks after Dermot’s murder, spoke of how he would return to the laneway with his son and tell him of his grandfather. Trent spoke next and, with a twinkle in his eye reminiscent of his father, got the crowd laughing again. “How fitting that a man that gave so much cheek to the people of Hastings be honoured with a memorial seat. Now the people of Hastings can give him some of their own cheek back.” At the end of the ceremony green balloons were released. It was a strange emotion that pervaded at the end of the ceremony. As Bridget and the boys talked and hugged through the crowd they gave everybody a gift. They gave a release from the pervading sorry that hangs in the air whenever you think of Dermot O’Toole and his tragic loss. The parish priest, Father John, best summed up the day. “We will always love and remember him, but we must also move on. It is what Dermot would have wanted.”
Unforgetable memories: Bridget O’Toole is flanked by Lisa Dixon and Councillor David Garnock. Umbrellas and raincoats: The crowd took shelter where they could as the rain came down. Pictures: Cameron McCullough

Did the system fail Luke and Rosie? Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au ROSIE Batty may have acted differently on the day her son Luke was killed by his father had she been made aware her estranged partner had made disturbing death threats towards a housemate just weeks earlier, the ABC’s Four Corners program revealed on Monday. Greg Anderson, who murdered Luke by bashing him with a cricket bat and stabbing him with a knife following a mid-week cricket practice session at Tyabb on 12 February, threatened to cut his housemate’s head off during an argument at the Chelsea Heights home they shared. Police failed to mention the incident to Ms Batty despite contacting her just a week before Luke’s death in their efforts to track Anderson down over the grisly death threat. Ms Batty said that had she been told of the death threat and multiple warrants out for Anderson’s arrest, she may have been more aware of the danger she and her son were in. “A lot of us are very careless saying ‘I could kill you, you know, you’re driving me mad’ ... but to actually say … to decapitate someone. They’re not light comments,” she told Four Corners. The incidents leading up to Luke’s murder and Ms Batty’s subsequent crusade to both shed light on the fragmented response to family violence and improve protection for victims, were
Crusade: Rosie Batty is working to overhaul the way police respond to family violence.
the focus of the latest Four Corners investigation. Ms Batty has refused to blame police or government agencies for failing to prevent her son’s death, instead choosing to use the tragedy to try to highlight systemic deficiencies and improve the response to domestic violence. However, she warns there will be more tragedies unless something is done. “Things happen in such a fragmented fashion … each statement you make to the police is a separate statement, each policeman you meet is a different policeman, each organisation is doing their own job with their own focus,” she says. “No-one’s taking an overarching look at everything that's going on together. No-one’s looking at the complete picture.”
While there is no definitive answer to the question of whether Luke’s brutal death could have been prevented, the program makes clear more could and should have been done to protect him and his mother. For years, Ms Batty struggled to manage the increasingly violent behaviour of Luke’s father of her son. “She called for help – loud and clear. She involved the police, the courts, child protection and social workers to keep her son and herself safe. But this didn’t happen,” says reporter Geoff Thompson. Ms Batty said that while Anderson’s behaviour was never going to “put him away”, some degree of intervention may have been “just enough for him to rethink, or maybe enough of a red flag for me to understand what acute danger Luke and I were in”. Victoria Police Commissioner Ken Lay, who has worked closely with Ms Batty since Luke’s murder in order to address shortcomings in the way family violence is addressed, agrees the system needs to be overhauled. “When you need to look someone in the eye like Rosie and hear how the system dealt with her and understand how the system may have let some of those people down, it’s very, very confronting,” said Mr Lay. A coronial inquest into the events leading to Luke’s murder and subsequent fatal shooting of Greg Anderson by police will be held in October.

A week to celebrate history and culture PEOPLE gathered at the shire’s Hastings office last week for a flag raising ceremony and indigenous art show to celebrate the opening of NAIDOC week. They saw a welcome to country and smoking ceremony by Dean Stewart of the Boonwurrung Foundation, and the launch of Boonwurrung elder Carolyn Briggs’ book The Journey Cycles of the Boonwurrung, 2nd edition. Mayor Cr Antonella Celi told the gathering NAIDOC Week was an opportunity for the community to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. “The NAIDOC event was a fantastic coming together of our community in recognition of reconciliation,” she said. The theme for NAIDOC week, which was on from 6-13 July, was Serving Country: Centenary & Beyond. At the gathering, Cr Celi said, “This year’s NAIDOC theme honours and pays tribute to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women who have fought to defend our country during war. They came forward in a time that was fraught with controversy over their participation, but, nonetheless, Australia was their country and they were going to defend it as diggers standing together in the same trench,” she said. “Today, we come together for NAIDOC to celebrate and honour their selfless contribution, and bring to the forefront recognition of the role they all played in helping to shape our

Six loads of donated goods already have been delivered to Rosebud from the Hastings area. Donated wool is available for knitters who cannot afford to support the appeal. It can be collected from the Hastings branch of the Bendigo Bank. Details from Fran Henke at fhenke@bigpond.net.au or call 5979 7274.

national identity.” Cr Celi acknowledged Crib Point resident Bob Austin, who served in the Royal Australian Navy for 17 years. “Bob is a passionate and successful artist, and we also congratulate him in recently completing his Certificate 4 in Aboriginal Cultural Heritage. Bob is one of many to thank for their contributions to our community who are with us celebrating NAIDOC today,” she said. Cr Celi also recognised the shire’s Aboriginal support and development team which was a highly commended
runner up in the local government category of the 2014 Community HART Awards. The HART (Helping Achieve Reconciliation Together) awards recognise local governments and community organisations that are advancing reconciliation in Victoria. “Council’s Aboriginal support and development team plays a pivotal support role on the peninsula by identifying the needs and aspirations of the local Aboriginal community, and working closely to strengthen engage-
ment, activities and partnerships,” Cr Celi said. “I sincerely thank the team – Glenys Watts, Beryl Wilson, Adam Magennis, Deb Mellett, Colleen Davenport and Wenzel Carter – for their dedication in bringing council’s commitment to reconciliation to life within our local community, and am so pleased they were recognised in the HART Awards.” The NAIDOC art show is open until Friday at the Hastings shire office in Marine Parade.

Report calls for reassment of port expansion Continued from Page 1
Dr Parsons said it was “so important to get [the port decision] right and not get it wrong.” The state government is spending $110 million through the Hastings Port Development Authority with the aim of having all necessary planning and environmental approvals through by 2017 – with construction to be completed by 2027. However, the Labor Opposition says building a new container port in Port Phillip may make more economic sense. This so-called Bay West option could become a reality if Labor wins the November state election. The research paper states there is a need for “a continuation of planning for alternatives, should the Port of Hastings development project fail”. Dr Parsons said the two-year study launched last week at a function arranged by the Committee for Wyndham was funded solely by Victoria University. The launch was attended by 180 people from across the state, including Mornington Peninsula Shire’s sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins and strategic planning manager Allan Cowley. There were no representatives from the City of Frankston. Dr Parsons said “political interests” had offered financial help with the study but the university decided to pay “because we had to be neutral”. The study – by the university’s institute for supply chain and logistics department - was released in the same week that the state government reaf-

firmed its commitment to develop a container port at Hastings and accused the Labor opposition of being out of step with its Hastings candidate. While Labor is pushing for a new container on the western side of Port Phillip near Geelong or Werribee, its Hastings candidate Steve Hosking told The News last week that he remained committed to Hastings if it meant jobs for at least 500 people (‘Labor’s port pains’, 8/7/14). Dr Parsons said she would like to present her findings to a meeting in Western Port. “We’re not supporting one location or another and we don’t think [Labor’s] Bay West is the best alternative,” she said. Dr Parsons said the capacity of the Port of Melbourne should be reassessed and a “pre-mortem technique” applied to the Hastings proposal. The research paper describes the pre-mortem technique as “imagining that the project has failed … It is a simple technique that can indicate potential problems and prospects, as well as expose any weaknesses in the project”. The paper goes on the say that mega ships will be used only to service Europe, China, India, the Middle east and the Americas and gives the example of the port of Rotterdam, which services 350 million people “compared with Australia’s total market population of 23 million people and Victoria’s current population of 6 million that is anticipated to grow to 10 million people by 2050”. “The stark differences in market sizes emphasise that in order to main-

Easy access: A regular visitor to the Port of Melbourne, the 52,600 tonne Cap Frio is 256 metres long, had a draught of 11.4 metres and can carry 3470 containers. The ship was built in 2012 and according to university researchers fits the bill for what is needed for Victroria’s export and import markets. Picture: Keith Platt
tain a container shipping service that satisfies Australia’s need for reliable, regular (weekly) movement of imports and exports … the smaller container vessels are likely to be more suitable than the larger mega ships. “The Port of Hastings development project is designed to cater for nine million containers (TEU) per annum by 2050. “While freight logistics and transport service providers may relocate they must pass on to customers the higher operating costs resulting from moving approximately an extra 100 kilometres away from the current industrial ‘heartland’ in the west of the metropolitan region, with the same long distances on the return trip.” When the Port of Hastings reaches its capacity of nine million containers (TEU) as planned in 2050, the landside task could potentially involve the movement of 4.5 million containers annually to and from Melbourne’s main western industrial district. This would require: 1.5 million B-double trucks, or 50,000 freight trains carrying 90 containers a train, annually;
More than 4000 trucks or 140 trains moving across Melbourne’s road and rail network between Melbourne’s industrial west and north, and Hastings, daily. “Constructing a nine million TEU container terminal in the Ramsar convention-protected area will require intensive and guaranteed mitigation measures, to ensure the wetlands continue to be fully protected. The government’s response will have to withstand very determined local, national and international scrutiny and demonstrate the safety of the wetlands against any foreseeable damage from the construction, dredging, maintenance and maritime operations of the Port of Hastings,” the report states. Economic and social issues will likely opposition to: Australia’s potential failure to fulfil its international obligations and responsibilities as a signatory to an environmental protection convention; The potential destruction of Western Port coastal scenery affecting landholders and residential and holiday home owners between Cape Schanck and Stony Point, on the Mornington
Peninsula; on French Island; and between Ventnor and Cowes on Phillip Island; The impacts on the region’s tourist industry, including the internationally significant fairy penguin parade and seals at The Nobbies on Phillip Island, of the port and its maritime operations; Concerns throughout Melbourne over the potential loss of properties and amenity resulting from the construction and operation of road works, and the south east rail link, for trains to cross the Yarra River and travel via Richmond, Flinders St and Southern Cross stations to the Tottenham freight rail yards, which may require excavation work in affluent Malvern, Armadale, Toorak, Hawksburn and South Yarra. “These politically sensitive social and environmental issues could lead the government of the day to re-evaluate the political costs of the proposed port and associated infrastructure, and decide instead to concentrate on metropolitan and regional commuter transport priorities and other more pressing constituency issues.”
WHAT’S ON AT NEPTOURS
Biosphere goes multinational THE attitudes of people involved in projects undertaken by the Western Port Biosphere Reserve are being studied and compared to a similar undertaking in South Africa. “I want to find out if the people involved in the projects begin to see the landscape in a different light,” Swedish researcher Simon West said. He is taking a “close look” at how networking and communication encouraged by the biosphere’s Growing Connections project impacts the landscape. “In particular, we tend to think about biodiversity in our local patch – but these corridor projects encourage us to think about how biodiversity interacts across wider, regional scales,” Mr West said. He says, “concepts like biolinks have been much studied for their ecological benefits, but I’m interested in how they also bring social benefits such as increased knowledge of other initiatives and opportunities in the region”. A PHD student at the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, Mr West arrived in Australia in February on a visiting fellowship to the Centre for Excellence in Environmental Decision-making (CEED). He is based at RMIT in Melbourne. His work in Western Port is part of an international research project examining participatory processes in UNESCO biosphere reserves and will examine how the Growing Connections project fosters social as well as ecological connectivity. Mr West’s findings will be compared to those collected in South Africa’s Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve.
Researcher: Simon West is looking at the social effects of the Western Port Biosphere.
The two biosphere reserves are similar in size, proximity to rapidly expanding cities, native grasslands and touirism areas. Both Growing Connections and the West Coast Corridor aim to reconnect the landscape by building biolink corridors. The success of each project depends on the participation of private landowners, which differs to national park-style conservation. The Western Port Biosphere’s Growing Connections project benefits from federal government funding for revegetation while the West Coast Corridor project works by encouraging landholders to place restrictions on their land titles and form a joint nature reserve.

Port discussion THE state government’s planned expansion of the Port of Hastings will head discussions at Saturday’s annual general meeting of Shoreham Community Association. Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean will speak about the tole of his authority and participate on a question and answer session. The association does not have a “position” on the port, although “it believes that we have a responsibility to provide as much information as possible to ensure an informed community on this big issue”, member Steve Doman said. The AGM will start at 11am in the Old School Hall on Sunday 20 July commencing. All committee positions will be up for renewal. The meeting will be followed by a barbecue in the grounds of the Old School Hall.

‘Ello! ‘Ello! A tree has hit la maison EMU and his Blushing Bride are home from their annual trip north, to a nasty little surprise. A tree had fallen on Emu Ruo in The Great Storm and the disagreeable business of dealing with an insurance company had to begin. Mrs Emu, who has been studying French at U3A, wanted to fill in the form in her newly acquired lingo. “Un arbre est tombé sur notre maison avec une grande force – pam! pam! Ce que les dommages. Mme Émeu est désolé,” she had written, with a wingtip dipped in tar. A tree had indeed fallen, had done damage, and the B B had indeed been … not desolated, exactly, but she likes the word. She was more desolated when Emu took the Frenchinscribed form and tossed it in the fire, which luckily had not been hit by a tree. He gave her a firm look. “You used the online translator,” he said accusingly, resulting in a spousal visage both désolé and furieuse. He had seen her doing her U3A homework on the computer. Mrs Emu’s crest fell. Caught bang to rights, she could not raise even a whimper of remonstrance in either language. Emu was, as always, glad to be home. This time, fallen trees aside, he was glad to be getting a break from Charles Aznavour and “The Little Sparrow”, Edith Piaf, with her wretched “Je ne regrette rien” six or seven times daily. Emu had regretted each playing, individually and with passion. Quelle dommage that CDs don’t wear out. Emu’s old Dad told him that, in occupied France in the Second World

War, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony was very popular. To annoy the Germans, workers with hammers, spoons, anything, would beat out the rhythm of the symphony’s first four notes – three rapid, one long; dit-dit-dit-dah – Morse Code for “V”, for victory. Did the occupiers like Piaf? Call Emu a cultural wasteland if you will, but that Sparrow woman has a voice that would break hardened glass the length of the Champs Elysėes. Emu puts her in the same class as George Formby and the wartime warblers of London: perfect for their time and place. Emu does not wish to meet them again. But Emu digresses – as he was bound to do after 10 days of driving there and back and a 10-day interval being polite in the company of “her” side of the family. And in Queensland, which has a premier who looks quite like Gollum and whose policies are approaching those of Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Emu will not digress in that direction. We can report the Newell Highway is much improved from the trip several years back. The Dubbo zoo and the Parkes Dish are worth a visit (interesting presents for the grandferals) and the Warrumbungles deserve a few hours. We felt at home overnight in a motel in Bogan St in one town. A few emus were spotted in the Warrumbungles, then an entire paddock of them. Poor things: eggs, meat

or leather? All three, perhaps. Mrs Emu was all for liberating them, but a chap appeared. “We should campaign to be taken off Australia’s coat of arms,” the B B muttered, “if that’s what it has come to. And the kangaroo should come off, too. “Replace us with a caged-reared de-beaked chicken and a mangy oneeyed dingo with a bad leg.” Speaking of dingoes, Emu will allow himself another digression. Way back he wanted to name the Emu hacienda “Thurlgoona” rather than Emu Ruo. But just in time Mrs Emu discovered that “Thurlgoona” translated as “dingo evacuating its bowels”. Emu knows of a peninsula property named “Thurlgoona”. We saw kangaroos, wallabies and even emus along the roadsides, some not dead, all the way to and from the relatives. We stayed with Aunty Gert (known as “Gert by sea”) and her tribe, but that’s all you need to know about the Queensland rellies.
We also saw fleets of grey nomads heading up to the sun but, surprisingly, few trucks. And not a single police highway patrol car the length of NSW in either direction. But the second day back home we saw a patrol car snapping up speedsters like a dolphin in a shoal. He liked to stop half on the bitumen, lights flashing, partly obstructing traffic. Probably because he can. But beside double lines? Last road stop heading south was Shepparton, and a rather flash motel with a dining room. Mrs Emu had to be persuaded not to dress for dinner, which turned out to be far less flash than the accommodation. Next morning heading out of town we stumbled across the SPC-Ardmona shop and bought up big – vast tins of cherries, baked beans, peaches, apricots and pears – at 3kg a can (eight serves per kilo) and at very moderate prices. As Crocodile Dundee might have said: “That’s not a can of apricots – this is a can of apricots.” Even though it was a can of baked beans.
Disability forum BALANCING the Scales is the name of a community forum to be held in Mornington later this month for carers and families of those with a disability and/or mental illness.

Peninsula stands tall despite tourism snub Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au IT may be one of the country’s most pop tourist destinations, but the Mornington Peninsula doesn’t even rate a mention among the state’s top 12 “experiences and destinations”, according to the latest edition of Lonely Planet Melbourne & Victoria. Taking out top spot in the ninth edition of the travel company’s Melbourne and Victoria guide book is the Great Ocean Road, with Melbourne’s laneways, The Grampians, Melbourne’s “cultural and sporting hub”, and Wilsons Promontory rounding out the top five. The closest the peninsula comes to rating a mention among Victoria’s “must visit” locations is the listing of Phillip Island and its penguin parade as the seventh most appealing tourist destination. Rounding out the top 12 were St Kilda, the High Country, Mildura, Gippsland Lakes, “Country Charm”, and Walhalla. Mornington Peninsula mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said she was surprised the peninsula didn’t rate a mention in the guide book’s top twelve, especially as the region was usually regarded as one of Melbourne’s tourist destinations. She said the peninsula was “much-loved by residents and visitors alike, offering a great tourism experience, plenty of things to do and see”. “The Mornington Peninsula has been a major drawcard for local, national and international visitors for decades, and the range of tourism experiences, activities and events continue to grow each year – including this year’s Cool Climate Wine Show, Melbourne International Film Festival screening and the Archibald Prize exhibition,” Cr Celi said. The omission from the latest Lonely Planet Melbourne & Victoria edition, which was released last week, stands in stark contrast to the state government’s official tourism website, Visit Victoria,
Leading the way: Moonlit Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Park has won international acclaim for its dedication to providing the “best possible care” to its animals.

which lists the Mornington Peninsula as its number one attraction. It is also surprising given that Tourism Australia’s latest global marketing campaign focuses on the country’s “exceptional food and wine experiences” – areas in which the Mornington Peninsula has gained international renown. Tourism Australia chief marketing officer Nick Baker said food and wine producers were the “stars” of the international Restaurant Australia marketing campaign, which aims to boost visitor numbers by highlighting the country’s “unique and exceptional food and wine experiences” being
served-up at “remarkable locations” such as the peninsula. He said extensive research conducted by Tourism Australia showed food and wine were the most important factors in holiday decision making. “The concept of Restaurant Australia has been built based on consumer research which identified food and wine as a key factor in holiday decision making and the most important emotive trigger, ahead of world class beauty, for influencing people’s destination choice,” Mr Baker said. “For people who’ve never visited Australia, awareness of our food and wine offering is low. However, once they visit, people realise the variety and quality of our food and wine experiences is world-class and Australia moves to the top of the rankings as a one of the world’s best culinary destinations.” International visitors spent more than $4 billion enjoying Australia’s food, wine and culinary experiences in 2013, with the Mornington Peninsula gaining a healthy slice of the pie. Peninsula tourism operators have also been figuring prominently on the award front, including the Enchanted Adventure Garden, which was last week named Victorian Regional Business of the Year at the 2014 Telstra Business Awards. The popular peninsula tourist attraction was the only business from the state’s tourism sector to be nominated for the prestigious awards. First opened in 1997 as a small maze and garden attraction, the Arthur’s Seat business has grown into a thriving tourist drawcard. The family owned business now offers adventure tube slides, tree surfing and live entertainment, in addition to the expanded hedge maze and gardens, and provides employed for more than 100 people. Judges said the Enchanted Adventure Gardenwas a “financially secure and soundly managed business that has invested significantly in new attractions and created a unique attraction for family enjoyment, adventure and fun”. “Its owners [Sally and Michael Savage] were
committed to staff training and showed outstanding leadership and vision,” judges said in presenting the award. Also figuring prominently on the awards front is Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, which recently won Zoo and Aquarium Association accreditation and has gained international applause through the TripAdvisor website. Having won a swag of business, environmental and tourism awards over recent years, the popular wildlife park was recognised by the ZAA for meeting the highest possible standards in care and animal welfare. ZAA president Karen Fifield said the accreditation program was creating a “new standard for animal welfare”. “Being accredited means our members can be proud of providing our animals with the best possible care,” she said. Moonlit Sanctuary’s accreditation shows it is ensuring the animals in their care live in a positive welfare state. “This means the wider community can be certain that ZAA member institutions provide the best level of care for their animals, not just a minimum standard,” Ms Fifield said. The recognition follows the awarding of Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park with a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for the consistent praise heaped on it by visitors. The international website provides feedback from visitors on tourist attractions and destinations around the world. Of 83 comments posted on the TripAdvisor site for Moonlit Sanctuary, 69 rated the park “excellent”, 13 “very good”. Moonlit Sanctuary director Michael Johnson said there was no greater seal of approval than being recognised by customers. “With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence,” Mr Johnson said.

Government may finally get to the point this month Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE successful bidder to privately run tourism and accommodation operations at Point Nepean National Park is expected to be announced by the end of the month. No details of any submissions made to the state government have been released, although it is understood at least two proposals are under consideration by Environment Minister Ryan Smith. When the call for expressions of interest for commercial developments at the park was made in April 2013, the state government said it “heralded the start of one of the most exciting new investment and tourism opportunities for Victoria in years”. It also coincided with release of a master plan for Point Nepean and the introduction of legislation opening the way for “sensitive investment in state and national parks in Victoria”. The master plan was described as a guide for the evolution of Point Nepean National Park, which features the former Quarantine Station. The forword to the master plan said it “provides the basis not only for future business planning and partner-
ships to be explored in pursuit of those opportunities, but also for detailed design to be developed and implemented in order to achieve the goals set out in this document”. Mr Smith said the government was “committed to seeing the [17 hectare] Quarantine Station become a vibrant and attractive destination for locals and visitors alike”. “We want to see proposals that are financially viable, provide ongoing public access and make a contribution to the local economy by creating jobs and tourism opportunities on the Mornington Peninsula,” he said. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said last week he would like to see an “educational component” in any future development at Point Nepean”. However, he added that it was up to Mr Smith “to evaluate each proposal on its individual merits and in accordance with the parameters put forward in his guidelines”. Mr Dixon, who has met “a couple of groups” responding to the call for submissions, said that “in fairness to those who have made submissions to [Mr Smith], it would be inappropriate for me to make any statements about what I may or may not like to see”. “Having said that, I support the pro-

cess and am confident the minister will ultimately make the right decision for the future of the Pt Nepean National park,” he said. A spokesman for Mr Dixon said his office was “unaware of who has been shortlisted, so these groups may not currently even be in the mix”. The spokesman said the government had been assessing submissions by shortlisted bidders for the past few months. “Minister Smith’s office advised that, around mid to the end of July, he will
make an announcement of a successful bidder, but only if the government is satisfied with the final proposal,” the spokesman said. “If and when an announcement is made, there will be a two to four-week period for the minister to receive feedback from the community. “If a relevant issue is raised through that feedback process, then minister Smith may decide to amend the proposal accordingly. From that point on, the proposal is finalised.” Mr Dixon said he would support “appropriate development at Point Ne-
pean to ensure the heritage and environmental virtues of the park are able to be preserved and enjoyed for many years to come”. “Much of the site has already been developed over the years and I believe a suitable private entity who is experienced in this sort of accommodation and tourist development would be far better placed to preserve and enhance the visitor experience to these already developed areas. Like the rest of community, I will be watching the outcome with great interest.”

Jobs plan aims to address skills shortage Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A FEDERAL government jobs initiative that aims to boost employment opportunities in the peninsula’s tourism sector was unveiled last week amid growing concerns the industry faces a critical shortage of skilled workers. The Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island was selected for a trial of the national Tourism Employment Plan, which will work to identify and address skills and labour needs within the region. Federal Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb and Victorian Tourism Minister Louise Asher announced the peninsula as one of as one of eight tourism “hot spots” around Australia where the TEP will be launched. Mr Robb said the plan had been developed as part of the national government’s Tourism 2020 strategy and aimed to improve competitiveness, quality and productivity within the tourism industry. “Australia’s tourism industry is forecast to need an additional 56,000 workers by 2015,” Mr Robb said. “This is going to put even more pressure on businesses to recruit, retain and train personnel so they can meet growing tourist demand.” The Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island TEP has been established in collaboration with local industry, regional tourism boards and local councils, he said. It includes 11 individual initiatives, including tailored training programs and efforts to increase awareness of government and industry programs. Ms Asher said these would provide a better match between local businesses

and potential workers of all ages. “The Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island TEP will build long-term tourism and hospitality careers in the region and a sustainable skilled workforce for the future,” she said. A regional steering committee made up of industry and government stakeholders is currently implementing the TEP and has already overseen the completion of several actions, including the development of a regional Tourism and Hospitality Employment Guide. Tourism is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s leading industries, generat-
ing annual income of about $450 million and employing 3000 workers. It is expected to provide even more job opportunities in the future. However, training remains an issue, with potential employers often struggling to find potential employees with the required skills. At the same time, unemployment in the region remains well above the national average, especially among young people. Latest job statistics show the unemployment rate for the combined Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region has risen to 7.26 per cent com-
pared to the national rate of 5.9 per cent. For people aged under 24, the rate is an alarming 12.8 per cent, while more than one in five youths aged 15-19 are out also of work. The Mornington Peninsula was selected as one of the eight regions to participate in the plan after being identified through the Australian Tourism Labour Force Report, which showed many tourism businesses are experiencing recruitment, retention and skills deficiencies. The report stated that “targeted and localised strategies” would need to be
developed as there was no “one size fits all” solution. A contractor is engaged in each region to work with local stakeholders to develop the TEP over a 12 month period. After 12 months, the region has a three year, action-oriented plan for addressing its specific labour and skills issues. About 120 tailored strategies have been developed to date. The Mornington Peninsula is the fourth region in Australia where TEPs have been launched, joining the Red Centre (Northern Territory, launched last July), Broome (Western Australia, launched last August), and Sydney (launched in May). TEPs will begin in Kangaroo Island (South Australia), Tropical North Queensland, Regional Tasmania, and Canberra later this year. Despite each region having its own unique needs, the plan aims to provide four basic “models” for regions with similar characteristics. These include remote areas (Red Centre and Broome), regional areas (Kangaroo Island, Tropical North Queensland and Regional Tasmania), capital cities (Sydney and Canberra), and city fringe (Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island). “The city fringe TEPs respond to the supply and improving the skills of workers in regions that sit on the fringe of larger cities, through engaging under represented labour sources, improving collaboration with training providers, responding to impacts of seasonality and labour mobility, and accessing appropriate migration channels to supplement the local labour force where this is needed,” the TEP guidelines state.
Hip hopping helps launch NAIDOC Week
LAST Thursday’s Family Day at Willum Warrain, Pound Rd, Hastings, was part of the peninsula’s NAIDOC Week activities. Managed by the community-led Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association, the gathering place is a community hub providing information, support and referral services, health and wellbeing and art and culture programs, and links between the Aboriginal and broader local community.

Backyard scuffles not always rats BANDICOOTS have an identity problem. While foraging at night they are easily mistaken for rabbits or rats. But, rather than being a pest, insects make up their main diet. Although their numbers have decreased bandicoots are still hanging on in backyards and reserves in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. “This little marsupial inhabits many urban areas but it is not very well known,” Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife CEO Susanna Bradshaw said. “Not every nocturnal animal that looks like a rat is a rat, as the bandicoot proves. The bandicoot is often confused with the introduced black rat; however, they have a lot more going for them.” Ms Bradshaw said bandicoots had long tails, long noses “and prefers to hang out at night, similarly to a rat, but that’s where their differences end”. “Unlike the rat, the bandicoot prefers to hop around, forage for insects in the soil and leaf litter, and they won’t come into your house. “The main two species of bandicoot that you’re most likely to see are the southern brown bandicoot and the long-nosed bandicoot. “They’re sometimes blamed for spreading ticks in backyards and bushland but the truth is, because they only roam small distances, they are not spreading ticks very far. “It’s the foxes and other feral animals that travel much further afield that spread the most ticks. Increased tick numbers are also more associated with climatic conditions and a

lack of natural fires. It’s true that the bandicoot can be a little messy when it comes to foraging for food. It’s not uncommon to see leaf litter tossed about or the odd hole in your lawn when there’s a bandicoot around. “The reason they do this is to dig out and eat many of our unwanted garden bugs and grubs, helping to protect your plants," said Ms Bradshaw. “The curl grub is notorious for creating unsightly brown patches in your lawn but they make a great meal for
the bandicoot that will help you keep them under control.” “When bandicoots are going about their usual business, they often make bird-like noises. When they are a bit annoyed, they make a ‘whuff, whuff’ sound and when they are in pain or extreme danger they will let out an explosive screech.” Ms Bradshaw said winter to summer was the peak breeding season for bandicoots “so look out for them now as they will be more active and may
have babies with them”. “Since bandicoots are usually solitary animals, during breeding times your backyard can become a temporary boxing ring for their territorial scuffles. “Your best chance of spotting bandicoots is with a torch at night or in the early morning and evening, when they will often still be out-and-about foraging.” Download a factsheet about bandicoots at www.backyardbuddies.net.au
Safety on the water BOAT owners have been reminded to to maintain their vessels during winter to avoid breakdown on the water. Transport Safety Victoria (TSV) says official figures show that vessel breakdowns make up the majority of marine incidents. The latest TSV incident data shows that in 2013-14 there were 1349 reportable maritime incidents across Victoria. The 1064 vessel disablements included in this figure required a response from a rescue organisation. “Through regular boat maintenance you can have the peace of mind that your vessel is fit for purpose and the likelihood of something going wrong when you venture out is significantly reduced,” TSV’s waterway safety manager Paul Corkill said. Maintenance checklists should include four key areas; the engine, fuel, batteries and the boat structure. “Old fuel is a significant cause of on-water breakdowns so drain last season’s fuel from your boat. Take the opportunity to inspect fuel lines, manual priming bulb and connections for cracks and leaks. If any problems are found, have the parts replaced or repaired by a qualified person. “Keep your batteries charged over winter by fitting an inexpensive charger to your boat. Test all equipment that uses the battery, such as radios, gauges, power tils and navigation lights. “Inspect your boat’s hull for corrosion and cracks, ensure all bungs are suitable and in good condition, and that bilges are clean and dry. Test the steering for stiffness and oil cables with the correct lubricant.” For more information about vessel maintenance, visit www.transportsafety.vic.gov.au

MUNWARRI Stand Up is part of Baluk Arts on show at the Frankston Arts Centre in Davey St until 16 August. It showcases paintings, jewellery and craft by Baluk Aboriginal artists who are celebrating their artistic development and desire to ‘stand up’ and demonstrate their pride in producing interesting new work. Baluk Arts – a local Boonwurrung word meaning 'many' - is a non-profit Victorian Aboriginal arts organisation based in Mornington and owned by Aboriginal artists from Frankston, the Mornington Peninsula and wider south-east Melbourne. Baluk artists come from all over Australia and their artworks reflect themes of identity in a
contemporary cultural context. Through Baluk Arts, family groups and members of the ‘stolen generation’ reconnect with their culture and express their histories through strong artistic practices to support their cultural and creative wellbeing. Baluk Arts encourages community development, youth leadership, participation and interaction and Indigenous governance through innovative arts practice. The opening event as part of NAIDOC Week beginning 7 July was a morning tea and flag raising ceremony. If you would like to attend Munwarri Stand Up call Cube 37 on 9784 1896.

Airborne: Scooter skater Jackson Malseed flies high to win the Australian championships under-13 section.
Life in the fast lane JACKSON Malseed “lives� for his skating and scooting, according to his mum, Julie, and that dedication helped him achieve success at the Australian Scooter Association’s championships at The Bunker indoor skate park on Sunday 29 June. The Somerville youngster took on
tscooters from Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria at the Breaside skate park to win the under-13 section. Jackson, who is in Year 8 at Somerville Secondary College, has been skating for five years.
FRANKSTON councillors are threatening to protest on the steps of parliament to force the state government into doing something about crime in their city. At last week’s council meeting, frustrated councillors slammed successive state governments for allegedly neglecting to care about crime in the city – particularly around the train station. Councillors agree drug addicts needed rehabilitation help but are concerned about “a cluster� of six pharmacies near the station that dispense opioid replacement therapies such as methadone. They note a “secondary market� of dealing in methadone to fuel drug habits has sprung up in the city centre and some of the pharmacies’ clients travel from outside the area to hang around the station and Young St. There are 576 clients registered for opiod replacement therapy in Frankston’s city centre, up from 192 10 years ago. Both sides of politics were condemned by councillors for years of neglect when it comes to tackling Frankston’s drugs problem, but the harshest criticism was reserved for crime prevention minister Edward O’Donohue. He came to Frankston last month and viewed footage of drug addicts “shooting up� in full view of passersby and within 100 metres of the train station and police station. Councillors showed Mr O’Donohue CCTV footage of drug addicts
including a mother injecting herself while her young child was present. Cr Colin Hampton said the minister had denied drug taking on Frankston streets was something he could do anything about. “I was very disappointed in ‘the minister for crime prevention’ [Mr O’Donohue]... he said ‘I’m sorry, this is not within my portfolio’‌can you believe that?â€?. Frankston’s drugs scourge had been put in the “too hard basketâ€? by the state government, according to Cr James Dooley. “They need to start listening to us,â€? he said. “It’s the whole community that’s suffering because of the lack of action here.â€? The mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, who made an unsuccessful bid earlier this year to be the Liberal Party’s candidate for Frankston, was also critical of the Coalition government’s failure to act. Cr Taylor said he was “frustratedâ€? at problems council had trying to arrange meetings with government ministers to discuss the problem. “It’s a very sad state of affairs when a council has to go to the extent of releasing footage to a program like A Current Affair just to get the attention of those who are elected to listen.â€? Council released CCTV footage of drug users’ behaviour on Frankston streets to Channel 9 last month in a bid to gain wider coverage of the drugs problem. “We know they (ministers) are very busy but they should make a concerted effort to come here and listen [at a time of their convenience],â€? Cr Taylor said. He said he was glad to hear Labor
opposition leader Daniel Andrews would visit Frankston to listen to councillors’ concerns. Cr Taylor said council had also arranged a meeting with the minister for human services Mary Woolridge and the minister “would be given the same presentation as Mr Andrews.� It is understood Ms Woolridge originally agreed to meet the mayor and council CEO, but will now see other councillors when she visits. The mayor said Frankston voters should listen to whichever party would do something about the problem when casting their vote at November’s state election. A spokesman for minister of crime prevention Edward O’Donohue told The Times council should stop “childish sniping�. “It was made clear to council before the minister’s visit that he does not have responsibility for drug issues,� the spokesman said. “He agreed, in good faith, to meet with council as crime prevention minister, as member for a neighbouring electorate, and as a Mornington Peninsula resident.� The spokesman said Mr O’Donohue had announced Coalition government crime prevention funding for extra CCTV cameras in Frankston’s city centre last year but these had not yet been installed. “Council has not yet bothered to install these cameras,� he said. “Instead of engaging in childish sniping, council should get on with implementing the crime prevention measures that are already available as a result of Napthine government funding.�

OBITUARY
Hastings farewells a highly respected citizen By Peter McCullough THE Western Port community was shocked at the news of the sudden death of Mrs Bernice Stahl on 20 June. Bernice had been diagnosed with leukemia the previous week and had commenced treatment at the Alfred Hospital when she suffered a massive stroke. A huge crowd estimated to be well over 1000 attended the funeral on Friday 27 June at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Hastings, prior to burial at the Crib Point Cemetery. Bernice’s husband of 53 years, Brian, gave the eulogy at the service, supported by their three children, Catherine, Gabrielle and Justin. Granddaughters Bridie and Tahlia also spoke. This obituary is based on those eulogies. *** BERNICE Lorraine Ryan was born at Wycheproof on 13 July, 1939, the youngest child of Marge and Eddie, who were farmers at Nullawill South West. There were ten children born into the Ryan household, although one died in infancy. Two of the girls, Pat and Margaret, are still alive. Pat told the family recently how Bernice, born prematurely, was brought home in a box similar in size to a shoe-box, with her brothers taking charge and the sisters being kept in the background as they were jealous of the attention she was getting. Farmers in the Mallee were experiencing hard times: they had just come through the Depression years, the country was in severe drought, and war was on the horizon. To supplement the farm income, Marge and Eddie ran the Nullawill Post Office for many years before eventually handing it over to their daughter, Mary, and her husband. Eddie played the piano by ear and the whole family was renowned for its singing ability; Danny Boy remained a life-long favourite for Bernice. Bernice attended the Nullawill South West school, which was located across the road from the Ryan farm. At times the teacher would board with the family. After primary school, Bernice followed the path of her sisters and became a boarder at St. Mary’s College in Bendigo. Working life for Bernice started at Prentice’s store in Nullawill, or helping out at the Post Office. She was always happy to baby-sit for family members and friends, so much so that in 1958 she took a Mothercraft Nursing course at St Joseph’s Foundling Home in Broadmeadows. Although their paths had crossed at dances and balls, a romance between
The Bernice smile: Remembered by her family, friends and the community as a happy and caring lady.
Brian and Bernice was just starting to develop when Bernice left to undertake her 15-month long course. During that time Brian made many trips to Melbourne, staying with relatives in Essendon; more than once he missed the last train from Broadmeadows and had to walk along
Pascoe Vale Road in the dark of night. In the end Brian moved to Melbourne to work in a busy barber shop in Springvale. Over the next few years Bernice worked as a “nanny”, then at Bethlehem Hospital in Caulfield, the child care at Chadstone Shopping Centre,
and even a stint back in Nullawill to take care of a family. Brian and Bernice were married at Nullawill on 25 March, 1961. From a small flat in Springvale they moved to a flat in Oakleigh with Bernice continuing to work in child care. Motherhood beckoned and Catherine Maree
was born at Springvale Hospital on 13 June, 1963, followed by Gabrielle Anne at Bethlehem Hospital on 15 June, 1964, and then Justin Edward at Dandenong Hospital on 13 November, 1967. Meanwhile, in 1966, the Stahls made their big move from Dandenong North to Hastings. They became residents in Jacaranda Court in the new Housing Commission estate. Business in Hastings started with a Barber Shop at 27 High Street which included a Tattersalls sub-agency. The latter became a full agency and, with the introduction of Tattslotto in 1972 and the sale of three First Division winning tickets over a five week period in 1975, it was rebadged as “The Gold Mine.”At that point it transferred to larger premises and extended the range on offer to include Golden Gifts and Trophies. Bernice not only raised the three children during this time but also worked tirelessly supporting Brian in the business. After 14 years it was time for a break: the business was sold and in 1980 the whole family set off on a tour of New Zealand. On their return Bernice gained a new opportunity to show her love for children by gaining employment at the Shire of Hastings Day Care, eventually managing it for a time. Brian, Bernice and Justin also jointly conducted milk delivery between 1985 and 2001, establishing it as Hastings Dairy and only ending that business with the deregulation of the Victorian Dairy Industry. Her family and work responsibilities notwithstanding, Bernice still managed to find the time for extensive community activities, some of which surrounded her children (such as involvement in St. Mary’s school, netball, tennis and calisthenics) and some where participation in the broader community was required (such as Red Cross, Hastings Cancer Support and, more recently, the Bays Nursing Home.) On many occasions Bernice drove cancer patients for treatment, and her care and compassion was reflected in the concerns she showed towards these people. The same characteristics were seen in her extensive involvement in the Care Group at the Catholic Church. Bernice would keep an eye out for anyone in the community who she felt was a little “down” offering them a home-cooked meal, cakes, or just a visit which would help cheer them up. Her sincerity and quiet disposition were put to advantage, although the latter trait was less obvious at the football when glimpses

of white-line fever would become apparent supporting her Hastings “Blue Boys’ or “Bomb Bombs” Essendon. On any of her visits to those who might be indisposed or need cheering up Bernice felt inadequate if she was not taking along some flowers, and she was not beyond removing a few from other people’s front gardens. She was “sprung” on several occasions but invariably made friends with her “victims” and was invited to help herself whenever flowers were required. An important aspect of Bernice’s life, and one which brought her into contact with many people at all levels of society, was the support she gave to her husband, Brian, in his extensive community activities. These have included a period on the former Shire of Hastings Council (1987-94) including a term as Shire President, and the Mornington Peninsula Shire (2003-8) which included a term as Mayor. Brian has served two terms as President of the Hastings Cricket and Football Social Club (1974-8, 2001-5) and was at one point Secretary/Manager (1979-85); he is a Life Member. Other involvements have been the Hastings Neighbourhood
Renewal(2005-2013) now Hastings Community Alliance, Annual Tidy Towns entry and, more recently, the Order of Australia Association which he chairs locally and is a member of the Victorian State Branch. Catherine married Bruce Mills on 8 June, 1985; they live in Canberra where they are proprietors of a contract cleaning business and have four children (Luke, Bridie, Jack and Matt). Gabrielle, who is at present Principal of St. Joseph’s at Crib Point, married Stephen Espenchied on 18 March, 1989; they are Balnarring Beach residents and have three children (Jayden, Tahlia and Kye). Justin, now the proprietor of a farm contracting business, married Karen Flanagan on 13 December, 1997; they live at Woodleigh in South Gippsland and have two children (Attika and Jakeb). Bernice adored her nine grandchildren and special treats were always available when they made their regular visits; rum balls were never in short supply. The only thing that her granddaughters were hesitant about was an invitation to accompany Bernice down the street: “It will only take 10 minutes.” From past experience they knew that
Bernice would stop for so many chats that the trip would take at least two hours and, if they came across a mum with a new baby in a pram, it could be indefinite. While the love shown to her own family was special, Bernice never lost touch with the extended family (both the Stahls and the Ryans): birthdays and anniversaries, meticulously recorded in her diary, were always remembered and regular phone calls were made to nieces and nephews to make sure that all was well. Like most women raised in the country, Bernice was an excellent cook, and her family dinners were legendary. A special effort was always made to help with community events. Every year she would make up endless bottles of home-made sauce and relish; each year was going to be “the last year of doing this”, but the next year she would find some cheap tomatoes and the production line would crank up again. Whilst cooking may have been a
strength, new technology was not. Even her photographic skills had their limitations: Bernice would take care arranging everyone for a group photograph but when the prints were viewed taller family members would be headless. Her skill in texting was even more limited though it did progress from a blank text, which at least told family members that she was trying to get in touch, to more entertaining messages which consisted of a collection of punctuation marks, capitals in inexplicable places, and funny expressions. The grandchildren loved them all! Bernice’s Irish ancestry meant a lot to her and along with her daughters, nieces and in-laws she would head to Beechworth each year for the Celtic Festival where she would brush up on the Irish tunes and dancing (Brian was not invited). In retirement they travelled quite extensively throughout Australia and then overseas on a road less travelled
to Taiwan and Sri Lanka. This year they had a wonderful Scenic River Cruise through Europe which also included a visit to Bernice’s beloved Ireland, returning as recently as April. Throughout her life Bernice’s love of children was apparent. This extended well beyond her own family. During her last two years she “adopted” the Prep class down at St. Joseph’s where she was a big hit cooking, listening to reading, playing games and simply being “class Nan.” When admitted to hospital she still had Play-Doh under her fingernails from the day before. She adored working with the students and would recount every detail of the day’s activities to family members. Bernice Stahl touched many people throughout the Western Port community over the past 48 years and the esteem in which she was held was apparent by the large numbers who attended her Funeral Mass and the Celebration of her Life to pay their respects.

HEALTH Hastings dental clinic has arrived A NEW dental clinic providing general family dentistry has opened in Hastings. Hastings Dental Clinic is conveniently located in the heart of Hastings (2/53 Victoria St), close to medical centres and allied health clinics. The team comprises of two dentists , Dr Sylvia Erian and Dr Mina Habib. Dr Sylvia has a warm persona and gentle hands and enjoys all aspects of dentistry with a particular interest in children dentistry and treatment of gum disease. Sylvia was graduated from Cairo University Egypt in 2002. She migrated to Australia with her family in 2009. In 2010 she passed the Australian exams for dentist qualification at her first attempt. She then started working in multiple private practices and finally decided to open a practice with Mina.
Sylvia is married with two girls. Outside dentistry, her number one priority is spending time with her family. Dr Mina Habib completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery at Cairo university in 2003. After emigrating to Australia he pursued further qualifications and was awarded the Graduate Certificate in Dentistry from Latrobe university in 2008. Mina practices all aspects of dentistry with a special interest in root canal treatment, oral surgery and cosmetic restorations. Mina has a friendly character and likes to treat his patient as family. He enjoys helping nervous patients overcome their fear of dentistry. In his spare time, Mina enjoys playing soccer and tennis with friends. Both Mina and Sylvia are members of the Australian dental association.

Is your health worth 90 minutes a week? WE all know that exercise can help you look and feel better but did you know that it can have a positive and measurable effect on your overall wellbeing? Performing regular physical activity, like the three-day-a-week Curves program substantially reduces the risk of such diseases as coronary heart disease, stroke, colon cancer, Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and high blood pressure. It also helps to control weight; contributes to healthy bones, muscles and joints; helps to relieve the pain of arthritis and reduces the symptoms of anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
If, like many women, you are overwhelmed by traditional gyms and don’t have a lot of time for exercise, Curves may be the answer for you. Curves Mornington provides a safe and efficient workout for all ages and fitness levels in an environment that’s comfortable and welcoming. The unique Curves workout takes just 30 minutes, three times a week and research has shown, it works!

ONE of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatry practices, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, is excelling in the area of tissue regeneration, utilising the very latest medical research and treatments. This means that much of the foot and leg pain, injuries, degeneration and mobility concerns, that until now, you’ve just had to put up with could be a thing of the past. Musculoskeletal Podiatrist Dr David Kavanagh, from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics says: “We’ve had some outstanding results assisting; arthritis, soft tissue injuries and degeneration, pain and mobility concerns with regenerative injection therapies such as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and Prolotherapy (Proliferation of new cells injection therapy). “We’ve assisted athletes return to professional sport, relieved pain in people who’ve suffered for years, promoted healing and increased mobility in people who’ve been told that nothing can be done for them and enabled
others to avoid surgery.” Similar in action, both treatments encourage the body’s natural healing mechanisms and promote the development of new collagen. PRP utilizes components of your own blood, whilst Prolotherapy consists of a glucose and anesthetic solution. Results include; increased joint, ligament, and tendon stability; enhanced muscle and cartilage repair; pain relief and increased mobility. They are also natural, non-toxic, minimally invasive and relatively fast acting. Treatments are often used to assist common concerns such as: forefoot, arch, heel, ankle and knee pain and injuries. “When we combine these treatments with correct diagnosis, addressing structural issues and faulty biomechanics the results can be outstanding and long-term”. If you have foot or leg pain, injuries or degenerative issues you can see Dr. Kavanagh at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza and Rye. Ph: 1300 328 300.

FEATURE PROPERTY
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
First class country WITH a list of attributes perhaps more suited to inner-city townhouses, this stylish rural property is literally a breath of fresh country air with a modern and sophisticated finish. Set on about 3.4 hectares (8.5 acres) of relatively flat pasture land and light bush, the home has a knockout floor plan highlighted by spectacular dimensions that accentuate the sense of space, and an emphasis on indoor and outdoor entertaining. A formal sitting room featuring a cosy gas fireplace is a tranquil space for quiet contemplation away from the upstairs rumpus room which will be great for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities and console games. Flanked by glass allowing the natural light to spill throughout, is a family zone incorporating a living and dining space which effortlessly flows through a series of sliding doors out to a generous deck and undercover dining area. A stylish kitchen has granite benchtops with an island bench, quality appliances and a walk-in pantry. A ground-floor bedroom and bathroom - also with granite benchtops - complements four more bedrooms found on the top floor. The impressive master bedroom has a walk-in robe, ensuite with spa bath and opens to a private balcony with a view over the property. Improvements to the property consist of a fully serviced, 195 square metre machinery shed. This stunning location, tucked amongst the gum trees, is tailor-made to create your own unique lifestyle. There is ample room to add a pool or tennis court (STCA) and the land will suit some small-scale agriculture, such as an orchard, or you could run some horses.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My name is Rosie, I have lived in Hastings for 30 years with my two sons. During this time I have had my house for sale with a few different agents without any success. About 10 months ago, Sean from Baywest Real Estate approached me and asked if I would like him to sell my home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I thought he was a bit young but gave him a go anyway! Well, well, to my surprise Sean was really wonderful! He was there for me if I ever had any questions or concerns, he was always prepared to go above and beyond with inspections â&#x20AC;&#x201C; time for him was never an issue. After 6 weeks of marketing my property with Baywest it was successfully sold at the price I wanted. The service with Baywest was to my satisfaction. Thank you Sean & Dayle for all your help during the sale process!â&#x20AC;?

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Committee discusses how to service the peninsula by railway Compiled by Melissa McCullough BETWEEN the 8th and 15th July, 340 points of rain were recorded at Tyabb by Mr A S Krorouse. *** APPLICATIONS are invited by advertisement in this issue for the position of caretaker of the Tyabb Hall at a salary of £10 per annum. *** A PROGRESSIVE step has been undertaken by Mr G Coop, of Somerville, recently, by the installation of a telephone at his hotel. *** Mr A G Tasker, assistant station master, is at present absent from his duty on sick leave. *** Mr C R Perrin, head teacher at Rosebud State School, has been indisposed for a few days, but is now, we are pleased to state, almost himself again. *** Senator Blakey, one of the six selected Labor candidates will address the electors at Frankston in the Mechanics’ Hall, on Monday next, 20th July, at 8pm. *** Mr A S Krorouse, of Bullareo, Tyabb, is the local agent for Nobel-Glasgow Explosives, and supplies of detonators and fuses can be obtained from him. *** A MEETING of ratepayers of the Centre Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings will be held at Somerville on the 25th inst. for the purpose of electing trustees of the Mechanics’ Institute. *** MR Walter Kirby, who has sung at
more than one concert at Frankston, is to give a song recital in the Auditorium on Monday evening next. We wish him a full house and the success his wonderful voice deserves. *** A DEMONSTRATION of land clearing and subsoiling by explosives will be given on the property of Mr T Gibson, Hodgins Road, Hastings by Mr H E Henshaw, representing Nobel’s Explosives Co, Ltd., on Tuesday, 28th July. *** THE posts placed by the Council to protect footpaths on Eramosa Road Somerville, were removed by some persons Tuesday night inst. The police have the matter in hand, and the offender, if caught, will be severely dealt with. *** PAINFUL injuries were sustained by the young son of Mrs Walsh of Frankston on Thursday. It appears that he was playing near the heels of a horse, when the animal lashed out and kicked him in the face. Mr T Ritchie carried the lad to Dr Maxwell’s surgery with a nasty gash in the chin, which necessitated several stitches, and was attended to. He is now progressing as favorably as the nature of his wounds will permit. *** THE Lands Department has arranged that the land on the Flinders foreshore belonging to the state be withdrawn from sale and be placed under a board of trustees for use as a public park. The land is situated between two portions of Flinders golf course, and is used for racing, golf, and other public
purposes. With the golf club’s reservation it forms one of the beauty spots of the state. It was Bass who first discovered Westernport in 1798, although the township has been named Flinders, The Lands Department has accordingly arranged that the reservation be known in future as “Bass Park”. ***
ONE POUND REWARD: Lost.One black horse. Medium draught, branded “J” on near Shoulder. One slightly twisted fetlock.
SUCCESS attended the benefit entertainment arranged by the Fire Brigades Employees’ Union in aid of Mr L Shannon, a member, who has been a sufferer from locomotor ataxia for 12 months, and who is still in the Melbourne Hospital. The concert was held on Wednesday night at the National Amphitheatre which was crowded to the doors. A very satisfactory sum was taken, and it is expected by the promoters that this will be considerably augmented when the returns from tickets which were issued in various suburbs come in. The promoters of the benefit are deeply grateful to the Metropolitan Fire Bri-
gades Board and the officers of the brigade for the generous assistance that was given. *** THE report of the Railways Standing Committee on the question of connecting the districts situated in Mornington Peninsula with the existing railway system was presented to the State Parliament on Thursday. Several routes of railways to serve the peninsula were brought before the committee. The first was to extend from Mornington railway in a south easterly direction for about nine miles to a point about mid-way between Bittern and Dromana, where it would junction with the survey from Moorooduc, Somerville and Bittern respectively, and then follow a common route south-west for about ten miles through Red Hill and then turning south-east for three or four miles to Flinders, making a total length of 22 ¾ miles. The objection to this route was that Mornington station would have to be a dead end. That station is at right angles to the coastline, and so close to the cliffs overlooking Port Phillip Bay that there is not sufficient space for a curve to extend the existing line out of Mornington in a southerly direction towards Flinders. Mr M E Kernot, chief engineer for railway construction, informed the committee that this route would cost about £6000 per mile to construct, as, excepting the first three miles from Mornington, the country is broken, requiring fairly heavy earthworks. The surveys to Flinders from both Moorooduc and Somerville, via the
common point already referred to, and Red Hill were each slightly over 23 miles in length. These surveys junctioned at a point three miles and a half south of Moorooduc and a similar distance south-west of Somerville, and then ran southward for six miles to the common point. Either of these proposals would fairly divide the peninsula, but the objection to both of them was that for the first nine miles, from Moorooduc to Somerville, they would run parallel with the Mornington Junction-Bittern railway at no greater distance than five miles, and would, therefore, rob the existing line of traffic which properly belonged to it. Consequently, the committee had to devote its attention to the two routes branching off the Mornington Junction Stony Point railway at Bittern, near the naval base. The first route ran five miles westward from Bittern to the common point of the different surveys, and then ascended the northern slope of Red Hill, descending into Flinders The second route branched off in a south west direction from Bittern to Merricks and Shoreham and thence, keeping near the foreshore of Western Port reached Flinders in close on fifteen miles from Bittern. Although the latter proposal was the shorter and less costly, it had the defect that it would, for the last six miles of its length, gather traffic practically from one side only, as it ran parallel with and near to the western shore of Westernport. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 July 1914

How to vitiate your curriculum vitae By Stuart McCullough MY first instinct was to panic. When news broke that Myers had dismissed a senior executive on his first day for a resume they regarded more a work of fiction than a statement of fact, I feared the worst. For upon being told that somebody’s CV is inaccurate, I am loathe to judge. Some may regard such documents as a sacrosanct regurgitation of times, places and events. I, on the other hand, consider my curriculum vitae to be something of a creative wonderland; one in which I can let my imagination run wild before sitting down for a short break and running some more. But if the tide has finally turned against unlicensed creative license, then allow me to take the initiative and set the record straight. Contrary to any impression my resume might create, I did not invent Blu Tack. I have, however, used Blu Tack over a number of years – even in rental properties that had a strict ‘No Blu Tack’ policy – but cannot in good conscience claim credit for its development and subsequent commercial sale. It is true that I developed a technique for removing unwanted Blu Tack from wallpaper which revolved around forming a big blue ball and using it as a sponge. To date, I’ve never seen anyone equal my Blu Tack removal skills. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I reinvented Blu Tack rather than invented it at first instance. When you read my curriculum vitae, I strongly suggest you delete the second line on the first page. Technically – officially and in every other sense – I was never a touring

member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. That said, I have seen Cave and his band on several occasions and own several suits. I also have a t-shirt with “Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds” on it, so when I claim that I’m “in” the band, that’s true about once a fortnight when I work through my t-shirt rotation system. Frankly, near enough ought to be good enough on that one. But for those killjoys who insist on
interpreting everything literally, perhaps you should skip page two. When you get to the third paragraph on the third page, disregard it completely. I have never been nominated for an Academy Award. Frankly (and if we’re being honest) you’ve only yourself to blame if you believed that one. I doubt very much there’s a category for Best On-site Catering In A Short Film – Animated.
FRANKSTON VFL DOLPHINS
I’ve long thought that the less heralded occupations in the film-making industry should get their fair share of the limelight. Indeed, the Oscars would be a whole lot more enjoyable if the guy who’d just taken out Best Gaffer was allowed to make a speech. I was not a junior tennis champion. My house is not cluttered with trophies and medallions, the souvenirs of a blossoming career cut cruelly short by a freak second-knuckle injury that forced me to instantly retire. I did have a number of tennis lessons at the Tyabb tennis court beside the V-Line track and remain the record holder for Most Balls Lobbed Over the Fence into the Path of an On-Coming Freight Train. Which, if it doesn’t make me a “champion” per se, at least makes me something of a legend, even if I do say so myself (and I do). I did, however, have the disposition of a junior tennis champion. This involved tipping over chairs and arguing with adults on a regular basis before storming off either to the change room (where one was available) or the chook sheds. Johnny Young, to the best of my knowledge, has never bestowed the title of Honorary Cast Member on anyone and, if he has, he certainly didn’t throw that accolade in my direction. If only. Surely the ultimate stamp of approval from Johnny would beat an Order of Australia hands down, and even give a knighthood a serious run for its money. I long for a day when I have the initials, “HCM – YTT” after my name instead of an ordinary full stop. Consequently, pay no attention to the second half of page four. There is no such thing as the Herve
Villachez Award for Short Fiction, although I dearly wish there was. Please delete any reference to it. Ditto the MC Hammer Prize for Poetry. The Little Lebowski Urban Achievers Award is something I saw in a movie once and not a prize I actually received. The keys to the city of Tyabb were never formally bestowed on me, largely owing to the fact that the town has an “open door” policy. I am not the reason The Beatles split, but I am spending a lot of time trying to encourage One Direction to do the honourable thing and break up so that they can fulfil their ultimate destinies by getting jobs in the fast food restaurant of their choice. My interests do not include reading, bushwalking or helping animals. I can barely remember the last time I even left the house except to go to work or the shops, much less read anything that wasn’t on the internet. The Hungry Kids of Hungary is not so much a charity I support as it was a band I liked until they stupidly chucked it all in and broke up. In fact, now that I think about, if you could walk to the kitchen and set fire to my CV in the sink, you’d be doing me a HUGE favour. Better yet, forget I ever sent it to you. Delete it from your hard-drive and expunge it forever from your memory. Pretend we never met. Because, after all, who of us can truly say that we know another human being? Particularly after reading their curriculum vitae. So, if after reading this you still want to employ me, feel free to drop me a line. Just don’t tell me anything about yourself. I won’t believe a word. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

The Global Mum’s Club By Stacey Anderson I DON’T remember signing up to the Global Mum’s Club. Don’t get me wrong, I’m flattered to be in such good company and all, but I don’t want it to define me. Why is it that the moment I daggy dance, or use ziplock bags or (God forbid) cut my hair short then I’m suddenly “such a mum”? I find myself rebelling against such things. I’m even growing my hair long. I’ve been through this before. When I got engaged I felt torn between the excitement of getting married to the man of my dreams, while also being a bit embarrassed to be part of the squealy “OMG look at my diamond!” team. So, I got a sapphire instead. And I was so petrified of being a seen as a “Bridey Bride” that I found myself being so blasé about the wedding that it became a bit annoying for everyone. Oh, just choose your own dresses. Let’s just pick some flowers from the garden. I don’t even care where everyone sits. “Just tell us what you want woman!” I digress. Of course this is all stereotyping, but that’s what I’m talking about. Why are women categorized and polarized in to these groups: Single = Free Relationship = Happy

Engaged = Giddy Married = Boring Mum = Daggy Why do I have to trade off my identity in exchange for my new title of mum? Why can’t I just be a married mum who rocks at life? Why is it that from the moment I gave birth, I dropped my name, my relationship status, my career status and my social status and replaced it with the allencompassing, forever judged status of “mum”? Just for the record, I’m proud to be a mum. But I have not spent the last half of my life prepping to be a mum.
I’ve been building a fabulous career, a life-long relationship, solid friendships, a rad social life and travelling the world. So thank you world for the invitation to join the Global Mum’s Club. I will accept, because you’re an incredible bunch and I’m proud to sit alongside you, but I am requesting that we establish some club rules. Rule number one: We recognise that we’re all mums but more importantly we’re all individuals, each with a different path that has lead us to motherhood. Rule number two: We stay true to ourselves and the women we want to be. And finally, Rule number three: We stop judging and comparing, because we’re all on the same team. We all want the best for our kids no matter what we have to do to achieve it so let’s be lovers, not haters. I’m sorry I forgot to mention that there’s no opt out of this Club. You’re in it whether you like it or not. But let’s wear that GMC logo with pride. Our motto: Mums = Brilliant. Strong. Amazing. And maybe at times just a tiny bit daggy.

Playing the pivotal roles of Scott Hastings and Fran are Thomas Lacey and Phoebe Panaretos who lead an outstanding Australian cast of 43 including Bob Baines as Les Kendall, Drew Forsythe as Doug Hastings, Natalie Gamsu as Abuela, Robert Grubb as Barry Fife, Fernando Mira as Rico, Heather Mitchell as Shirley Hastings and Mark OwenTaylor as J J Silvers. Strictly Ballroom The Musical is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer who defies all the rules to follow his heart. This uplifting and courageous tale originated as a stage play that Baz Luhrmann devised with a group of students at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) back in 1984. Strictly Ballroom went on to become one of the most successful Australian films of all time, earning more than $80 million at the box office. Discovered at the Cannes Film Festival, it was winner of the Prix de Jeunnesse and runner up for the Palme D’Or. When released in Australia, Strictly Ballroom swept the field at the 1992 Australian Film Institute (AFI) Awards, gaining 13 nominations and winning eight major categories. It was also a major success at the 1993 BAFTA awards, where it garnered eight nominations and won three awards, including Best Costume Design, Best Original Film Score and Best Production Design. Other accolades included a 1994 Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture, Newcomer of the Year at the 1993 London Critics Circle Film Awards, the People’s Choice at the 1992 Toronto International Film Festival and Most Popular Film at the Vancouver International Film Festival. With the success of the film, its closing song, a remake of the John Paul Young song Love is in the
Air, re-entered the Australian charts and became a Top 5 hit in October 1992. Advance tickets are available now until Sunday 20 July 2014 or until presale tickets sell out at www.visaentertainment.com.au www.strictlyballroomthemusical.com *** SACRED Heart Mission has announced a dazzling line-up for its annual fundraiser, The Heart of St Kilda Concert at the Palais in St Kilda, on August 13th. Now in its seventh year, this highlight of the Melbourne live music and comedy calendar draws Australia’s finest and this year is no exception, with RocKwiz co-presenter, Brian Nankervis as the MC. A big line-up of entertainment including Colleen Hewett, Phil Ceberano, The Basics, Vika & Linda Bull, Tim Rogers, Greg Champion, Julia Morris, Billy Miller and many more. Tickets 136 100. *** IT was announced last week by Aus-
tralian theatre producer John Frost and Opera Australia artistic director Lyndon Terracini that Jason Scott Lee has had to withdraw from their production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic Broadway musical The King and I in Melbourne. Lee has torn a calf muscle which will preclude him from performing for the rest of the season. Replacing him will be international film and television actor Lou Diamond Phillips, who made his Broadway debut as The King in John Frost’s production in 1996 opposite Donna Murphy. Phillips played the role for more than 550 performances, won a Theatre World Award and was nominated for both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for his performance. Phillips has just completed his third season of the hit series Longmire as Henry Standing Bear, and stars in the upcoming film The 33 based on the true story of the Chilean Miners, opposite Antonio Banderas and Juliet Binoche
and produced by Phoenix Pictures. Phillips’ breakthrough came when he starred in the film La Bamba as Ritchie Valens. He earned a supporting actor Golden Globe Award nomination and Independent Spirit Award for his role in Stand and Deliver. Other notable films in which Phillips has starred include Courage Under Fire, Young Guns, Extreme Justice and Che, and his television performances include Numb3rs, 24, Law and Order SVU, Cougar Town, Miami Vice, Chuck and American Dad. Lou Diamond Phillips will play The King opposite Lisa McCune in the Tony Award-winning production, which has received glowing reviews. Phillips will fly to Melbourne when he finishes filming later this week, and his first performance will be on 10 July. The King and I plays at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne until 31 August. www.thekingandimusical.com.au *** TAYLOR Swift’s Red tour has become the biggest earner for a country act. The 15-month world tour grossed more than $US150 million ($A162 million) and surpasses Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s Soul2Soul tour in 2006 and 2007. www.taylorswift.com *** AUSTRALIAN rapper Iggy Azalea has broken a US chart record. After six weeks at the top, her hit, Fancy, is Billboard’s longest leading No 1 by a female rapper. She surpassed Lil’ Kim’s record of five weeks for 2001’s Lady Marmalade collaboration. www.iggyazalea.com *** ABC DVD has released a great range of new releases including Stop at Nothing – The Lance Armstrong Story, an intimate but explosive story about the man behind the greatest fraud in sporting history. Another ABC release is Micro Monsters with David Attenborough which takes us into the hidden world of bugs. Attenborough uses pioneering macroscopic camera techniques to get closer than ever to the fascinating, beautiful, scary and downright alien world of arthropods – spiders, scorpions and insects. Micro Monsters shows the tactics these amazing creatures use to survive and thrive. Running time 150 minutes and available
friends, I’ll try for a lighter touch. *** SOME things stay forever. The movie scene and the song To Sir With Love beautifully sung by tiny Lulu, equalled by the look on Sydney Poitier’s face, way back mid 60s. Sweet, so sweet. *** CIRCA 1970s recession when the Commonwealth Bank convinced me to transfer my $5000 savings account to a trading account with the assurance it would not affect my housing loan qualification; later having my application refused because the trading bank balance did not apply. A broker and a loan at 11 per cent cost me thousands; no comeback. To the State Savings Bank – until forced to return in the 1990s. This current CBA is to review the later compensation cases, GFC and all that, supposedly ridding themselves of rogue advisers. Almost as if it wasn’t their fault? An independant non-independant review? Tony Abbott says “the public expects appropriate action”. Funny fellow. *** I READ the Herald Sun once weekly to keep in touch with the madding crowd. Particularly “Your say, 50/50, text talk and letters”, plus Lord Jeffrey on everything and anything. Can someone shout
the man a holiday in Egypt for a year? I also read Jonathan Cainer on the starsigns. Wonderful insights like “What are you getting caught up in? Isn’t it time to break free? This solstice can change your life. Call me on...” more rubbish at expensive rates. *** REPORTER Peter Greste cops seven years courtesy of the spooky Egyptian regime. Says PM Tony: “My undertanding is the Egypt court system DOES work at arms length from the government.” He has to say that. Based on the reported evidence against Greste, had News Ltd’s Rebekah Brooks (cleared on all charges) been tried in pyramid land, she would have copped life – and everafter. Rebekah is the type of female I’d like to have dinner with. Conviction without evidence is nothing new. Ask ASIO, Scott Morrison, Kevin Andrews or David Hicks. *** SOME things go through to the keeper without a second (or first) thought. Australian of the Year? Four categories; the big one, senior Aussie, young Aussie and local hero. We have Adam Goodes as numero uno, no doubt a nice enough bloke but surely Dane Swan should have bolted in? It’s a joke, thoroughly
controlled by our government (both sides) to ensure all is well in the state of Denmark. Who were the past two winners in all categories without using Google? You don’t know and we don’t care. (Nominations for the next Aussie of the year are open at australianoftheyear.org.au Senior category for Cliffie). *** THE good people of Bendigo don’t want a mosque, planned to be built on undeveloped industrial land. One assumes they have no objection to our government (both sides) spending millions on the chaplains schools program. The danger of Sharia law against the safety of the Masons, Micks and Prodos. I live next to a public carpark – real noise and danger. Letter to a newspaper: “When peaceful moslems line up for prayers, how do they know if the person next to them is potentially a terrorist or not? We have to put our emotions aside and let common sense prevail.” It can’t prevail if it’s not there buddy. Try standing for the Ode at an RSL, or anywhere in a queue at a Collingwood Essendon game. Ever alert? *** IT’S all orchids for Frankston. Premier Dennis pays a visit and walks the streets. Communications Minister Malcolm

now on DVD and Blu Ray. www.roadshow.com.au *** SONY Music has announced Family Life, the brand new studio album from Adam Harvey, will be released on Friday 22 August. With a career spanning almost twenty years, half a million album sales, gold and platinum albums and eight Golden Guitar Awards, Harvey is one of Australia’s most popular and enduring recording artists. The new album follows on from the outstanding success of The Great Country Songbook, his platinum selling album with Troy Cassar-Daley. Family Life is a collection of personal stories and observations that will resonate with people of all ages from all walks of life. Some are heartfelt, some are humorous and they’re all delivered with Harvey’s impeccable vocal phrasing and expression. They tell of Harvey’s experience as a husband, father and son… of a man who is content with his life. Family Life contains 12 new recordings, including the first single She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful, a simple, infectious song about a man’s appreciation of a modest woman. This highly anticipated new single is already playing on radio with the video due in the coming days. There’s also a beautiful duet with Harvey’s twelve year old daughter Leylah, a cover of Daddy What If, the classic Shel Silverstein song made famous by Bobby Bare. “Recording a duet with my baby girl Leylah was not only a highlight of this album, but also of my career,” says Harvey. “I’m so proud of the way she sang in the studio, and I still get teary when I play the track and think about it.” Harvey will appear at the York on Lilydale in Mt Evelyn October 19th and the Hallam Hotel October 22. www.adamharvey.com.au
A Grain of Salt JULY snuck up on us, greeted by the weather week from hell and more price increases, not forgetting the new amazing “couples counselling” at $200 a throw to prevent divorces. A sense of humour becomes a necessity absolute, as in vodka. Kevin Andrews is losing it, hopefully. It’s one thing to suggest our government is robbing Peter to pay Paul, and Paul may well approve, but the problem is Peter, who doesn’t appear to have a clue, particularly if his opinions are formed by reading a daily newspaper. “Ignorance is the primary enemy of mankind.” [Hemingway]. *** AM I cynical as some suggest? I take these comments “on board” as an exercise in self examination, calling for one of my famous surveys. An extensive search located just two readers. Few of us see our own faults and all of us are of sound reason while there are none. A broken arm or leg no problem; doctor doctor. But a broken mind? Lust, envy, anger, ambition and other faults come to mind, none of which apply to me. Perhaps I’m like the fellow who switched the light off so the mosquito couldn’t find him. As it happens I’m sane; the problem lies with those who disagree with me. Still, in the spirit of my two
By Cliff Ellen drops by to discuss his “top priority region” stuff and Dunkley MP Bruce, not to be outdone, visits the hospital. Beautiful stuff. Sadly none of them made it to Rye, but not to worry. We know their hearts are in the right place. *** THE mighty Magpies are but a memory; here’s hoping Eddie doesn’t renew any coaching contracts... The Coalition’s “masters of the universe” mentality is thriving...“Ain’t We Got Fun” – the new theme song for the unentitled... Japan first. Sri Lankans and all asylum seekers last. Shades of Menzies, Calwell... we thank God or whoever is responsible for giving us Michael Leunig, John Clarke and Bryan Dawe... Herewith delivered, a cynicism free column... When I drink, I think; and when I think, I drink. There are more old drunkards than old physicians. [Rabelais]. Hooroo...cliffie9@ bigpond.com Western Port News 15 July 2014

scoreboard Dud Buds fail to find a single major NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt ROSEBUD doesn’t deserve to play in the Nepean League finals this season. A side that cannot kick a single goal in one of its biggest matches of the year against its biggest rival does not deserve to be part of the big boy action at the end of the year. The Buds booted only 20 behinds on Saturday versus Rye’s 14.8 (92). The Demons belted Rosebud by a whopping 72 points and in the process, shunted them from the top five. The Buds percentage took a massive blow also, although it’s still much better than Rye’s. Frankly, Rosebud has been the most disappointing side in 2014. One straight kick away from playing in a grand final last season, the Buds have far from hit the heights of last year. In fact, they have spiralled backwards. Many have gone into protective mode on behalf of Rosebud, yours truly included at the midway mark of the season. However, those narrow losses at the beginning of the season were nothing more than a smoke screen for the real issue – the Buds aren’t that good. Crib Point and Red Hill have moved past them, Dromana and Sorrento have steamrolled by. And now Rye has proven for the second time this season that it also has the Buds covered. Rye went into the clash without its best player, Rhett Sutton. Rosebud went in without arguably its best player, Greg Bentley. There weren’t a lot of others missing. In essence, once again, there couldn’t be a lot of excuses made for the Buds – they were just ordinary. On the other side of the ledger, Rye got its game going once again. Talk about the Jeckyl and Hyde of the competition! Rye’s best is devastating. Its worst is nothing short of pathetic. It seems fifth spot is the only position on the ladder that is up for grabs. Funny thing is, it appears that Rye, Hastings and Rosebud are having awful trouble claiming it. The real story will be told this Saturday when Rosebud and Hastings go head to head. It seems to be a two-horse race now between the Blues and Demons. The Blues have the better draw. Ryan Semmel (three goals), after a shaky start to the season, dominated the match on Saturday for the Demons. This was in the wake of the launch of the reality television show, The Rookie, which aired on Fox Footy on Sunday night. Ryan seems to have found his groove, which is simply sensational. He is a class above and after taking a rocket in one of his first games of the year, he’s responded and come out the other side much better. Aaron Findlay played a different role and was superb, while Jay Bruno played his best game for a few weeks. Jay’s just got to find that level of consistency. Luke Semmel (two goals) and Ben Cain were also in charge in the engine room for the Demons. Rosebud didn’t have any goal kickers to speak of. Jack Jarman and Tyle Williams worked tirelessly for the Buds and Ryan Spooner and Sam Krumeich

always do their best. Their efforts just weren’t good enough to help their side kick a goal! Twenty minutes down the road at Sorrento, the home side threw a spanner into the works, outclassing reigning premiers Dromana to the tune of 25 points. The Tigers got away to a flier and opened up a 15-point lead at the first change. It appeared as though the Tigers had the measure of the home side yet again. At half time, while the margin had been reduced to eight points, Dromana still led the contest with the likes of Christian Ongarello doing the job down back and Anthony Bruhn looking sharp in attack. However, in the second quarter, you could feel the momentum shift and the Sharks’ seven scoring shots to five didn’t bring the return it should have. But without star forward Leigh Poholke, who was representing his state in the country football championships, the Sharks looked only a slight chance of being able to get in front. It didn’t take long into the third quarter before the Sorrento engine really started to crank up. The Sharks needed to get first hands on the footy and they needed their guns to stand-up in the big moment. James Hallahan and Leigh Treeby were the two that stepped to the front of the line. Along with the experienced campaigners in Grant Johnson and Trevor Mattison, Hallahan and Treeby grabbed the match by the scruff and booted five goals between them. Despite trailing by a little over a goal
Western Port News 15 July 2014
at the major interval, the Sharks booted six goals to one in the third term to open up a 20 point lead. They increased that by five points at the close of play. Ryan Jeffrey stepped up to the plate also and booted three goals, while Tyrren Head, who has been in the footy wilderness for a while, played his best game for the season. Ryan Williams needed to play a big game for the Sharks too and he responded. It was a superb effort from Sorrento, who has been playing in the shadow of the Tigers for some time now. Even more impressive is that there a lot of new faces in the Sorrento team. The likes of Zac Byrns, James Brigden, Luke Soligo, Nat Diconza and James Pitcher. Even the likes of Matt Dobrowski haven’t played a lot of football. Hastings did what was expected of them and recorded a big victory over Tyabb. The Blues booted 16 goals in the first half and another 14 in the second hour, finishing with 57 scoring shots to just nine. The Blues were dominant from the first bounce after a fade-out last week and there was no relenting this time around. Jason Kestle was back in the senior side after just one game in the reserves and finished with a major. Dylan Hand was the star of the show. He was provided plenty of supply at full forward and responded with ten goals. Colin McVeigh came back to a bit of form after having his colours lowered last week and finished with five majors,
while Luke Hewitt and Dan Noble got their hands on the footy enough times to kick four majors each. Steven Robb and Taylor Tratton have been the Blues’ best players this season (along with McVeigh) and they were at their best again on Saturday. Steve Charalambous was also good, however, he needs to find his best when the heat is on, not when it’s one way footy. Jake Anderson worked hard for the Yabbies with a couple of goals while Tyson Sparks and Michael Frost collected the top votes. Crib Point welcomed yet another tough encounter and once again was able to come away with the four points. Up against Frankston Bombers, who had won their past two matches, the Pies put them to the sword early and never looked in any danger after that. Brad Davidson was dominant with four majors while Dean Warry and Jon Flack (three goals) were in total control. James Degenhardt (three goals) and Jay Reynolds were the best of the Bombers, while Shaun Foster was also very good in attack with three majors. Devon Meadows turned around a string of seven straight losses to smash Pearcedale in the battle of the Panthers. Devon was keen to arrest a shocking mid-season slump and they were keen to play attacking footy from the outset. The visitors have had a lot of injuries this season, however, on Saturday, it was Pearcedale that was undermanned. The Dales looked like a side of under 18s players, missing the big bodies of
Ben Mitchell and Luke Murray, while Dylan Hoare and Andrew Douglas were also missing. The result was a 70-point smashing. The Panthers booted 15.9 (99) to 4.5 (29). Daniel Andrew made it 13 goals from 12 games this season with four majors on Saturday, while Troy Aust and James Bow (37 goals for the season) also finished with four goals. Michael Hobbs and Heath Black dominated for the duration of the match, while Alex and Chris Doria also played their best games collectively for the season. Dean Janssen works his butt off each and every match and Saturday was no exception for the Pearcedale defender, while Travis Sauer and Matty Smith continue to fly the flag. Red Hill was never going to have too much trouble against Somerville. The Eagles played a number behind the footy from the first bounce and the result was restricting Red Hill to 7.10 (58). The Eagles themselves had to wait until the 20 minute mark of the last quarter before it kicked a goal. The Hillmen fielded their weakest side for the season, however, four of those who missed on Saturday are expected to play against Sorrento this week. Michael Dillon and Paul Wintle starred for the Hillmen yet again, as did Jake Mitchell. Jedd Sutton and Leigh Stewart were names the best for the Eagles.
WESTERN PORT scoreboard
Kangas bounce back PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN played its strongest side in more than a month on Saturday and the result was a 51 point win against Karingal. The win saw Langwarrin move back inside the top five, replacing Mt Eliza by percentage. The Kangas got away to a great start to the season, winning five matches on the trot. However, injuries and matches against the top sides in the competition saw the blue and white lose their next six games, which included clashes against Pines and Mt Eliza. However, on Saturday, with the likes of Aaron Shaw, Andrew Withers, Jarryd Amalfi, Steve O’Brien and Matt Dimkos back in team, Langwarrin resembled a more formidable side. In fact, the Kangaroos fielded their strongest side in almost two months. Regardless of the win however, coach Gavin Artico would not have been happy with his side’s third quarter. After leading by 49 points at half time and restricting the opposition to one goal in a half of football, the visitors went to sleep in the third term and Karingal responded. The Bulls kicked 5.7 to 2.8 with the aid of the wind in the third term to reduce the margin to just 25 points at the last change. Michael Burke was at his best and causing plenty of headaches, while Hadley Tomamichel with three goals and George Angelopoulos with a couple were getting a heap of the footy also. Langwarrin needed to respond with a big final quarter and it did, kicking five goals to one to win 16.12 (108) to 7.15 (57). Beau Muston was superb with five majors for the Kangas, while Matt Dimkos and Dylan Luxa each booted three majors. Luxa has been superb this
season. Amalfi was sensational and Nick Tuddenham has been a revelation since coming back from the Dolphins. The Kangas need his quality in the side. Bonbeach completed the expected and got the job done against Seaford. The Tigers had a purple patch there for a while but recently things have fallen apart a little. According to coach Ben Crowe, the season now is about teaching the kids in the club how to play senior footy. “It’s all pretty new to me, teaching young blokes how to go about being a senior footballer but I’m loving the challenge of it,” Crowe told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning. “They have a wonderful passion to learn and we have some great, talented kids at the club. The key is to keep them all positive and improving or the rest of the season. “We can’t make finals but we are keen to help shape the top five and give some sides a headache along the way.” Unfortunately for the Tigers, they weren’t much of a headache for Bonbeach on Saturday. The Sharks led by only 24 points at half time and it appeared as though the Tigers were doing the job, however, 11 goals to three in the second half saw the final margin blow out to 73 points, 16.14 (110) to 4.13 (37). Shane McDonald booted three for the winners while a further ten players contributed on the scoreboard. Mark Tyrell dominated, Gary Carpenter continued his brilliant run of form and Ricky Ferraro was at his finest. Nick Boswell and Rory Luxton were the best of the Tigers.

Pot of gold: Crib Point had three wins from their three teams on Saturday. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Triple glory for the Hastings retains the George Slocombe Shield black and white HASTINGS FNC By Phil Stone Seniors: We went to Tyabb and we knew if we played as a team we would be hard to beat. The focus for the game was intensity at the contest from the start and get off to quick start with goals early. We did this and once we had achieved this it was important for everyone to stay set and play their role and not get selfish. What was most impressive for me was that we achieved 83 tackles for the game in a game where we had majority of the ball. This showed that our mental application was there all game and it was great to see. I felt that our forwards competed fantasticly and Dylan Hand kicked 10, Steve Robb and Chara were fantastic through the middle and I felt Taylor Stratton and Jason Kestle gave us drive from behind. All in all a good game and on with it next week playing Rosebud at home. See you all there. Reserves: Today we had the short trip up the road to take on the yabbies, in the first quarter it was Tyabb that got off to a good start and kicked the first goal, the Blues missed some easy scoring shots early to put some pressure on themselves, in the second quarter they settled and kicked

5 goals with the wind to go into half time with a handy lead, third quarter the boys lifted the tempo up that bit more and played great footy into the wind to kick another five goals with Tim Churchin seeming to be everywhere, into the last quarter and the boys were playing a very fast style of footy moving the footy from one end to the other with very skilful footy , the goals started coming from everywhere, Tim kicked his tenth goal early in the last quarter to be easily best on ground in a fantastic display and the boys running away to have a twelve goal win and jump back up to fifth spot, better players for the day were Tim Churchin, Carey Sawocz, Simon Clancy and Big Jay in the ruck, fantastic team effort by the boys. Under 18s Combined (By Aaron Wilson): Round 12 Tyabb-Hastings were defeated by a stacked Mt Eliza side. A depleted Tyabb-Hastings were not able to withstand a final quarter surge from Mt Eliza as they piled on 5 last quarter goals. For the first three quarters Tyabb-Hastings applied the pressure and played the game on their terms. An evenly balanced contest on the scoreboard it was Mt Eliza with a slender two point lead at half time. This was extended to 7 at 3 quarter time. Stephen Williams was everywhere play-

ing a great individual performance. Nick Taranto who had been sorely missed for the last 2 games, showing great distribution of the ball. Mt Eliza ran away with the match collecting a 39 point win which didn’t reflect the flow of the game. A solid performance from an injury ridden Tyabb-Hastings. Netball Report You always know it’s going to be tough day when you play Tyabb. They are outstanding across all grades. C Grade started fantastic and the girls played their best game in weeks. They were well led with Brooke in centre and Grace and Jess combined well in goals. Coaches awards Brooke & Grace. B Grade let themselves down from the start with poor pass selection which puts each other pressure. The times that we took our time & played a short game were the times that we scored. Coaches awards: Zara and Alana. A Grade faced the team that has been on top for so many years. They are tough in defence and quick in attack, they play the way that we should be stiving towards. The girls held their heads high and played great defensive game. Coaches awards: Sheridan and Shaye. Next week the club is at home playing Rosebud. Let’s make sure we all get there and support the club. Go Blues.
CRIB POINT FNC
By Jared Newton IT doesn’t happen often but three Crib Point football teams took to the field on Saturday and three teams all walked away with the four points. The seniors continued their good form with a ‘business as usual’ win while the reserves and under 18s avenged their first round defeats with impressive wins over the Bombers. The seniors did what they had to do to get the win on the board in difficult conditions. Frankston were never far away but at the same time never really threatened and the margin stayed 3-5 goals throughout the afternoon. Flack was brillant early and Boyd provided the target to kick to while Davidson does what he does best and that’s create opportunities from nowhere and poach goals. The highlight of the day was provided by the form player of the competition, Dean Warry, who aside from another BOG performance across the half back line took a hanger late in the afternoon in what was one of the finest grabs taken at the Crib Point Recreation Reserve. The senior team is doing everything right at the moment and while it’s tight at the top with one game separating the top four in Nepean, Crib Point is ticking along nicely with a
couple of handy inclusions over the next few weeks. The reserves turned their recent form around with an emphatic 43-point win over Frankston. The ressies were jumped early and clawed their way back to get themselves seven points up at the final break before slamming six straight goals in the final term to keep their slim finals hopes alive. Phil Gardner played a blinder across half back and Daniel White again was in and under everything as always. Ben Ross continued his good form with four goals, with Koerner and Conway adding two each. There’s not much to it for the ressies, when they get back to basics and play with accountability, they play their best football. The under 18s broke through for their second win of 2014 with a 35 point victory over the Frankston Bombers in the early game. Ethan Smith showing a bit more versatility than his dour full back father, kicking three up forward with Liam O’Connor, Joel ‘Son of Barn’ Wisken and Jayden Deas showing the polish and class needed through the middle to get the job done. The improvement in this side has been great over the last few weeks and there are extra wins there for the boys if they keep it up.
