Way over the top BELIEVE it or not, but UFOs are coming to Hastings.

Right on cue, weird looking beings from a planet not so far away will appear this Friday on the stage at the Hastings Hall.

The play “What’s Above” gives those in the audience a chance to either suspend belief or reinforce their views.

“What’s Above” is designed to appeal to all the family and is being presented over the next couple of weekends by Pelican Theatre Company.

Farmers rally to fight rate ‘threat’ David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula farmers are gearing up to oppose any cut to the farm rate “discount” for agricultural land. They now pay 35 per cent of the general residential rate.

A message originating from Dromana farmer Cr David Gibb appears to have begun the rural mobilisation. It was prompted by Mornington Penin-

sula Shire’s planned review of its rating structure.

Cr Gibb emailed on 4 November: “The Farm rate for rural properties, many of whom are Landcare members, is under threat.”

The message went to the Dunns Creek Landcare Group, with which Cr Gibb is associated, which sent it to its membership with a message from the group’s president, Roger StuartAndrews.

council’s rating strategy”.

The original deadline, 9 November, was extended until 13 November in what appears to be a hurried process for such a major matter.

The shire document, Rating Strategy Discussion Paper 2016/17 says shire policy “supports the continuation of a farm rate differential” and notes that council’s strategic plan “has a strong commitment to agriculture”.

Farm properties pay the standard residential rate for the land on which the house is built – the curtilage – and a separate rate that is 35 per cent of the general residential rate.

The shire had a short community consultation on its rating review, inviting people to send “submissions for consideration in the development of

His message read in part: “It appears the shire is seriously considering removing the rate rebate on farm properties which would mean that we would be rated as for the general non-rural properties… [Given] the size of some of our land holdings, this could potentially mean enormously increased rate bills for those of us on the land.”

Mr Stuart-Andrews described the shire review as “an iniquitous attack on landholders already fighting rising

Pittock leads way in top jobs swap David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE mayor and deputy mayor swapped roles in the election for new leadership at Mornington Peninsula Shire last week, ensuring continuity until elections on 22 October next year.

Cr Bev Colomb handed the gold mayoral chain to her deputy, Cr Graham Pittock, who received eight votes to defeat the other candidate, Cr Andrew Dixon. Cr Colomb was then voted in as deputy to Cr Pittock for the next 11 months.

Cr Pittock presented Cr Dixon with a bottle of wine given to him for his achievement in winning the mayoralty, to mark Cr Dixon’s contesting the position.

Cr Dixon, a Briars ward councillor was also proposed for deputy mayor. He declined the nomination, to concentrate on ward duties.

Others nominated for deputy were Tim Rodgers – who also withdrew (his good friend Cr Pittock: “Thank goodness for that.”) – and veteran councillor David Gibb.

In his acceptance speech Cr Pittock emphasised the shire’s size and complexity – “a budget of $200 million” – and the changes in organisational structure and management that have occurred since Carl Cowie was hired a year ago as CEO. Cr Pittock presented an ambitious list containing many goals aimed at protecting and improving the environment.

The listed items would remain “paramount concerns”, he told the packed gallery.

He set out “the challenges we face this year”, including: Achieving the shire commitment to carbon neu-

trality “with practical policies designed to reduce our carbon footprint sooner rather than too late”.  Achieving balanced economic, transport and port development.  Protecting our “very special green wedge as prime, high-yielding agricultural land, together with the enhancement of the remaining native vegetation”.  Better exploit the Class A [highest quality] recycled water, delivered in “purple pipes”.  Protecting and enhancing the amenity of our built environment and townships “with quality zoning and land use outcomes consistently and properly administered”.  Improving recreational parks, historic places and the shire’s marine and coastal environment.  Protecting the health of Port Phillip and permitting it to form its own natural boundaries.  Better recognition, conservation and integration of marine, heritage and flora and fauna and wetland environments. Reviewing council’s service, business, capital and financial functions.  Adapting shire functions to the environment “rather than adapting our environment to the shire functions”.  Continuing to aid East Timor, now in severe drought. “If we don’t help them, no one else seems to want to”.

A significant goal – “Reviewing and maintaining an equitable and effective rating strategy” – was briefly mentioned. Submissions are being sought from the public on how to go about this vital review of the shire budget in light of the rate cap to be imposed from next July.

The farming lobby is already preparing a campaign against any change to the current rating

2012 he was investigated for, then charged with, a conflict of interest because of his ownership of squash courts and a gym in Dromana.

This should have precluded him from voting on the now abandoned proposal for an aquatic centre on the Rosebud foreshore, the Local Government Inspectorate claimed.

Cr Pittock was found guilty but no conviction was recorded. Ironically, he had never voted against the centre – only against the ill-conceived plan to build it on the foreshore, which is reserved for coastal-dependent activities.

position, under which the shire’s farm properties pay 35 per cent of the residential rate. In Frankston farmers pay 80 per cent of the residential rate.

Cr Pittock spoke of the exacting role councillors’ spouses play and the additional burden on the mayor’s spouse. “Prue, you might have to step up a bit, mow the lawns,” he told his wife sitting in the gallery, amid laughter. “But remember, you can always text or email me.”

‘I’m safe’ messages reassure families Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, which has a mosque in Langwarrin, has condemned the “barbaric” terrorist attacks in Paris responsible for the deaths of 129 people.

The death toll is expected to rise with 100 of 350 people wounded in the attacks classed as critical.

The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the six coordinated attacks which led to France closing its borders and the declaration of three days of mourning.

“We offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the innocent victims of the Paris attacks,” the national president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia, Imam Inam-ul-Haq Kausar said.

“Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia categorically rejects extremism and terrorism in any form and anywhere in the world.”

Imam Kausar said Islam taught “the sacredness and dignity of human life” and “requires us being loyal and law abiding citizen of the country of residence”.

land Drive, Langwarrin on Sunday 29 November with representatives of major religions speaking on the “Role of my religion in promoting peace”.

Australia’s Human Rights Commissioner Human Tim Wilson (who grew up in Mt Martha and has a holiday home on the peninsula) was caught up in the mayhem the terrorists brought to Paris.

He was staying in the city for a twoday break between speaking engagements, but the break “turned into a sleepless and manic two days in a city that had shut down”.

Mr Wilson was in a restaurant when texts started tumbling into his phone asking if he was all right.

That was the start of a “very unnerving” time as he rushed back to his hotel which was quickly placed in lock down, with closed doors and lights out.

Mr Wilson appeared live on ABC TV news. Broadcasting from a darkened room he gave viewers an on-the-spot assessment of what was going on outside his hotel and how he had received information while at the restaurant.

The following morning he was again featured live from Paris, this time standing near street barriers as numbed passers-by mingled silently with heavily armed security forces.

David Morris) found out quite early as the drama unfolded that her son was safe.

“I received a text and later saw the [ABC news] webcast,” Ms Morris said. “We did worry, but found out pretty quickly what had happened and he was safe.”

Mr Wilson was also active on social media, keeping his Twitter followers

up to date.

On 11 November he had been in Britain speaking at Oxford University before heading to Paris for a couple of days before going on to Turkey.

His message as the attacks unfolded said “Very unnerving with restaurants and bars closing on police orders”.

Early the following day: “Morning in Paris. The air is rightly chilled. But warmth comes from the solidarite we all share for the Parisians in this tragedy.” And: “At a bar just near Bataclan Theatre in Paris [where 89 died] and there was silence for a spontaneous toast form everyone to the fallen …

The greatest disinfectant is sunlight.”

Ironically, Mr Wilson is in Europe to speak at a conference “on preserving civil liberties in an era of national security threats”.

On Sunday, Lauren De Rycke was breathing the fresh air and taking in the views from a mountain in Switzerland. Two days earlier she had been in Paris.

Disappointed at having her phone stolen while travelling on the Metro earlier on Friday, Lauren stayed in her hotel room after deciding against going into the city centre to photograph its lights.

“It was probably a blessing as she would have been all alone in the middle of Paris, not speaking any French and without a phone,” her mother Sian Taylor said on Monday.

“Instead, she was in her hotel room, blissfully unaware of what was happening outside.”

However, the news did not take long to reach Lauren, who had spent a sec-

Religions talk about peace

ond day in Paris with a friend while on a bus tour that began in London and is scheduled to end in Rome.

Ms Taylor said her daughter had been lucky to have seen the Eiffel Tower, Louvre and other attractions on Thursday 12 November.

The bad luck had been having her phone stolen while riding on the Paris Metro and being unable to call home, or anyone else.

Contact was eventually made using her friend’s phone and Facebook – a medium for which Mrs Taylor says she is grateful, never having been a big fan.

“Although she didn’t at first know

what was going on that night, she later found out one of the places attacked was just 10 minutes from their hotel,” Ms Taylor said.

Lauren - one year into her three-year communications and design studies at university – has already been recognised for her photography skills, winning first prize in the VCE student category at this year’s Mornington Art Show.

Her work was also chosen for exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria and now hangs in the foyer of Treasury Place, Melbourne, at the request of Deputy Premier James Merlino.

A CONFERENCE of world religions will be held at the Ahmadiyya association’s Baitul Salam Mosque, Leisureland Drive, Langwarrin on Sunday 29 November.

The association describes itself as a “revival movement within Islam” with its followers facing persecution from other Islamic sects.

Speakers at the upcoming conference will explain the “Role of my religion in promoting peace”.

They include representatives of Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Sikhism and Islam.

The more than 200 guests invited to the conference include MPs, councillors, academics and religious leaders.

“The conference will provide a platform for religious leaders to bring to the fore the distinctive contribution that religion can make towards world peace,” head cleric at the mosque Imam Wadood Janud said.

Guest speakers are Rabbi Schneier Lange, Rabbi for ‘Jewish Care Victoria’; the Rev Philip Manktelow; Michael Wells, representative of Buddhist Council on the Victoria Police Multi-Faith Council; Pandit Abhay Anand Awasthi, executive director Hindu Foundation of Victoria and president of Hindu Council of Victoria; Amar Singh, president at Turbans 4 Australia.

The public is invited to the free conference but bookings must be made by 20 November to Rehmat Mohammad, on 0409 932 300 or Khola Usman, 0449 665 263.

Gamblers lose $79m to peninsula pokies Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au GAMBLERS lost more than $79 million on the Mornington Peninsula's 858 poker machines at 17 venues last financial year.

Figures were released by the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation in its 2014-15 annual report, tabled in state Parliament last Tuesday.

Victorians gambled away $5.8 billion, 7.7 per cent up from the previous year.

The state government pocketed $1.6 billion from gambling revenue in 2014-15, $400 million more than predicted by gambling opponents two years ago. Victorians lost more money on every form of gambling including poker machines, sports betting, lotteries, Keno and at the casino.

Pokies accounted for the biggest losses, with $2.57 billion going into the slots of the state's 27,000 gaming machines, an increase of 2.7 per cent on the previous year.

More than $25 billion has been lost on pokies in Victoria in the past decade.

The Grand Hotel in Mornington pipped Rosebud Hotel as the leading venue on the peninsula for pokies losses – $11.09 million compared to $11.06 million. No 3 was Steeples, also in Mornington, with $9.18 million.

They were followed by Somerville Hotel $5.7 million, Rye RSL $5.6m, Rosebud RSL $4.98m, Stella's Dromana Hotel $4.9m, Westernport Hotel in Hastings $4.5m, Baxter Tavern $3.4m, Rye Hotel $3.1m, Kings Creek Hotel in Hastings $3.1m, Dava Hotel in Mt Martha $2.88m, Hastings Cricket and Football Social Club $2.8m, Mornington On Tanti Hotel $2.15m, Kirkpatricks

Hotel in Mornington $1.9m, Rosebud Country Club $1.44m, and Peninsula Club in Dromana $1.4m.

Pokies players on the peninsula lost more than $20 million in the first three months of the 201516 financial year, $545,000 more than the same time last year.

Poker machines on the peninsula made headlines earlier in the year when Stella's Dromana Hotel was refused approval for an additional nine machines to add to its 41, but Mornington On Tanti Hotel sought and won permission for an extra 17 pokies to take its total from 23 to 40.

Stella's is still seeking extra pokies.

The Peninsula Club in Dromana, formerly Dromana-Red Hill RSL, won approval for 15 pokies last year. It had wanted 18 machines but a compromise was reached that saw the club make a large cash payment to a community group. It now has 35 pokies.

Last year a report stated the gambling commission had capped poker machines in the municipality at 1127. Council's out-of-date responsible gaming strategy was due to be revised in April but has not been completed.

The Labor government recently stated it would trial a system that linked all pokies in Victoria and give gamblers the option to pre-set how much they were prepared to lose.

Dr Charles Livingstone of Monash University's school of public health reportedly said the takeup rate would be low. He said a serious pre-commitment system would be mandatory and require gamblers to set limits well in advance.

He said people with a gambling problem wouldn't want to know how much they were spending when in front of a machine.

One highlight will be NSW dog trainer and qualified behaviourist "Farmer Dave" Graham with his "Muttley Crew", a troupe of dogs dumped at animal shelters – because their owners couldn't cope with their bad behaviour – which he has transformed into acclaimed performers.

Graham first came to attention as a competitor on TV reality show Big Brother and used his profile to open the Farmer Dave Dog Centre, a purpose-built dog training and sports centre in

western Sydney for dogs and their owners.

His show includes information about animal behaviour and dog breeds.

Other highlights include milking of cows, horse grooming and horsemanship demonstrations, farm animals, miniature pony show, specialty breeds cat show, sheep herding and shearing, animal rescue groups, more than 40 exhibitors including birds of prey and reptiles, free face painting, and roving performers including Shaun the Sheep and Mr Peabody and Sherman.

Dogs must be on leads.

Irate farmers set to dig in Continued from Page 1 Victoria’s Valuation of Land Act defines farm land as “any rateable land … that is used primarily for grazing (including agistment), dairying, pigfarming, poultry-farming, fish-farming, tree-farming, bee-keeping, viticulture, horticulture, fruit-growing or the growing of crops of any kind or for any combination of those activities”.

It must be used by a business “that has a significant and substantial commercial purpose or character; and that seeks to make a profit on a continuous or repetitive basis from its activities on the land”.

Further, the business must be “making a profit from its activities on the land, or that has a reasonable prospect of making a profit from its activities on the land if it continues to operate in the way that it is operating”.

Part of council’s task in reviewing the farm rate will be to ensure that all those claiming it are eligible under the Act. Many “Collins St farmers” across Victoria use farm activities as low or negative income producers, to offset profits made in other income areas and

thus reduce their overall tax bill.

The shire says that this year it has issued 962 farm house assessments, or 1.0 per cent of assessments, with a value of just under $450 million CIV, which will gather $1 million, or 0.8 per cent of total rate revenue in 2015-16.

Shire revenue from residential properties this year is $126 million, including $15.5 million from the municipal charge. Rates and charges will bring in just under $150 million, according to the shire.

The document indicates areas the shire is focusing on in its review. They include: The $180 municipal charge.

Whether to introduce a waste/garbage/environment charge.

Differentials, including the farm rate and new differentials on commercial and industrial properties.

A review of land sustainability and heritage rate rebates.

The shire clearly indicates that it favours lifting rates on commercial and industrial properties for “a more equitable financial contribution”. Currently they pay the residential rate.

About human rights THE shire’s all abilities consultative committee and the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission will present a free information session about the state charter on human rights.

It will be from 11am-2pm on Friday 4 December at the shire’s Rosebud office, 90 Besgrove St. The Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 sets out 20 basic rights and responsibilities for all Victorians. This includes the right to be treated equally when accessing services such as disability parking spaces, a key topic on the peninsula where one in five residents live with a disability.

People with a disability, their carers and families can learn more about their rights under the charter. Event includes general discussion and a light lunch.

Looking up: Cast members of the sci fi play “What’s Above” during a dress rehersal at Hastings Hall. Picture: Gary Sissons

The spoof is way out there A PLAY that’s truly out of this world will land on stage at Hastings Hall this month.

A youth show production by Pelican Theatre Company called ‘What’s Above?’ featuring performers aged 10-18 will investigate mysterious sightings of UFOs and aliens.

The play is written by Pelican Theatre Company vice-president Madeleine Kay who says the comedy about people who believe in aliens is suitable for the whole family.

“I watched a documentary about people who believed in aliens in the US and thought it was a really good idea for a show,” she said.

“Adopting a mockumentary to the stage is a little bit difficult but the kids have handled it really well. It’s funny and it’s cast by teenagers for teenagers.”

The cast have been in rehearsals, overseen by directors Robert Lucas and Alex Watson, since September and the play features an elaborate set

design and space-inspired costumes.

Which is no mean feat for a notfor-profit community group run by volunteers.

• ‘What’s Above?’, Hastings Hall, 3 High St, Hastings, 7.30pm Friday 20 November, 2pm and 7.30pm Saturday 21 November, 7.30pm Friday 27 November, 2pm and 7.30pm Saturday 28 November.

Restoration could see The Pride sail into history Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A PIECE of Hastings history left town when The Pride, a six metre couta boat, was placed on the back of a truck and taken to Sorrento.

However, owner Tim Mirabella hopes the boat’s future will include many more years on the water.

Built in 1932, The Pride was indeed the pride and joy of Mr Mirabella’s grandfather, who was also named Tim. One of six brothers, to Mr Mirabella’s ownership of such a boat “established him as his own fishing entity”, his grandson says.

But The Pride was also more than just another fishing boat, changes incorporated in its design by Ken Lacco was quickly noted by the fishing fraternity.

Inspired by whale boats, ships’ tenders and lifeboats, the gaff-rigged couta boats were designed for fishing in waters right around the Victorian coast and the Lacco family was, and still is, seen as being at the forefront in both their design and production.

“The Pride became a benchmark, so I understand,” Tim Mirabella says. “It was beamy but had sleek lines. It had a graceful entry into the water.

“It had increased load capacity and really did sail well.”

The Pride sailed so well that a year after being launched it won the annual Boxing Day race from Hastings jetty to the shipping channel beacon.

“It’s a piece of Victorian fishing history and, when built, revolutionised the design of couta boats,” Mr

Family of fishers: Above, Tim, Sandy, Tony, Ned and Frank Mirabella with Hastings policeman Dave Currie aboard The Pride after winning the 1933 Boxing Day fishing boat race. Left, two generations later Tim Mirabella hopes a new owner can be found to restore the family’s couta boat to its former glory.

Mirabella says.

“Everyone tried to copy it and, of course, back then they weren’t called couta boats; they were just boats, or fishing boats.”

These days couta boats are now mainly used recreationally, although those that race them are as intense as any fisherman leaving shore to make a living.

Tim Mirabella, who now lives at Mt Eliza and mainly fishes from Flinders Island, comes from a long line of fishermen dating back to his great grandfather Sebastiano, who jumped ship in Melbourne in 1880.

He had sailed here in the Europa, which had come for the opening of the Melbourne International Exhibition.

In 1897 the Europa ran aground on a reef near Jurien Bay, about four kilo-

metres off the mid-Western Australian coast.

Hailing from Sicily, Sebastiano Mirabella settled in Hastings and later married Matilda Kearns, whose Irish parents had moved there from Queenscliff in the 1860s. Consequently, the couple’s six children received either an Italian or Irish name.

The father of the Tim Mirabella quoted in this article is also named Tim, as is his father.

The Pride arrived in Hastings from Rosebud, where it was built and launched, under sail as its petrol engine failed to start. It was later fitted with a more appropriate and efficient diesel motor.

The boat’s staple catch was shark and snapper in Western Port and barracouta outside of the bay and near

Flinders when operating seasonally out of San Remo.

Tim Mirabella says that during World War II fuel shortages saw The pride being sailed to and from the fishing grounds, with the motor only used when actually trawling the lines for fish.

His father’s brother Dennis – who later became a successful cray fisherman out of King Island, Wilsons Promontory and Tasmania – took over the boat from the elder Tim Mirabella.

“My grandfather still used her just for hooking [hand lines] whiting and snapper until about mid-1997. I then used it until about 2000, although she was registered as a fishing boat until 2007,” Tim Mirabella the younger says.

Mr Mirabella’s own days of com-

mercial fishing Western Port ended in November 2007 after the newlyelected Bracks Labor government made good on its promise to end commercial netting in the bay. He could have continued long-lining but says it would have been uneconomical as it had a limited season.

In the lead-up to the election Tim Mirabella joined the campaign against the proposed ban by hauling an antiLabor sign behind his car.

These days, The Pride sits at Tim Phillips’ Wooden Boat Shop at Sorrento, awaiting restoration.

“It’s time for her to be brought back to life for the next 80-odd years,” Tim Mirabella says of his hopes for the boat to find a new owner.

“With the right work, she’ll be good enough to sail for decades to come.”

The world stage awaits our ‘Miss’ HASTINGS’ Jessica Martini is Miss Australia International 2016.

The finals of the competition which recognises gifted women from across the continent were held in Sydney earlier this month.

Ms Martini is now setting her sights on the international stage of the quest, to be held in Jacksonville, Florida, United States, in July.

“I will compete against women from all over the world for the title of Miss International,” the 27-year-old said last week.

“Unlike pageants that focus mainly on beauty, this contest emphasises the talents, accomplishments, personalities, and societal contributions of its participants.

“Contestants are committed to a worthwhile cause of their choosing, and each is allotted time to speak on that issue. In doing so, they are able to educate viewers about the steps that they can take to make a positive difference.”

Over the three days of the Sydney finals, contestants took part in personal branding workshops, etiquette training, rehearsals and interviews.

“The platform I supported throughout the pageant was the Cancer Council Australia,” Ms Martini said.

“Cancer has touched the lives of many people closest to me, including my aunt, nanna and mother. It is at the core of my heart. We all know someone who has been through it, with one-in-two men and one-inthree women in Australia diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.

“I became an official ambassador for Cancer Council Victoria in 2014,

Anti-graffiti project

Winning ways: Miss Australia International 2016 Jessica Martini, alongside Mrs Australia International 2016 Tanya Scarvaci, Ms Australia International 2016 Ally McCluskey, and Miss Teen Australia International 2016 Georgia Brice. The Mrs, Ms, and Teen winners are all from Western Australia, with Ms Martini the only winner from Victoria.

which was a great accomplishment for me. Being a voice and role model for the organisation, and supporting their incredible research, patient support and fundraising programs, is a wonderful feeling.”

The Miss Galaxy Australia 2014 says she feels “really confident” going into the international stage of the competition. “I speak from experience when I say a rhinestone crown and a satin sash do not validate anybody,” she said.

“These are material possessions that, in their own right, carry a certain amount of worth, but it is the person who wears them that brings value to

the title, not the other way around.

“Behind every pageant journey there is a story to be told – a tale of inspiration, dedication and commitment to achieving a dream. Pageantry allows a woman to tell her story while challenging herself to become a greater version of who she already is.”

Ms Martini is on the Western Port Festival committee, which wants to bring back events of years past, such as the Miss Western Port Pageant.

Known in the 1970s and 1980s as the Miss Shire of Hastings Quest, it was last held in the early 1990s.

“The Miss Western Port Pageant

aims to create opportunities for local young women, and to make a positive impact in our community by creating awareness about relevant issues, community groups and events in the district,” Ms Martini said.

“I have been fortunate to be the sole coordinator of the pageant due to my experience and success, and I get to work with the girls in building their self-confidence, self-worth and understand their values.

“I love empowering women. I want to heal the areas of someone’s life where they thought they weren't good enough.”

WE’VE GOT YOUR PRINTING NEEDS SORTED AT CARTRIDGE WORLD ROSEBUD

THE state government has stumped up $23,000 for a graffiti prevention project in Mornington Park (formerly Tanti Park), Hastings and Rosebud West.

Newly elected mayor Cr Graham Pittock said the cash would pay for “an early intervention and prevention educational project provided by Warner Youth Education in partnership with Victoria Police” in the three areas.

“It will also involve a series of murals created by primary and secondary students to encourage community pride and educate students about the consequences of illegal graffiti,” he said.

Grade 5 and 6 pupils from Mornington Park, Wallaroo, and Eastbourne primary schools as well as year 7 and 8 students from Mornington, Western Port, and Rosebud secondary colleges will take part.

Young people and the broader community will be involved in the project including Mornington North Residents Group, Mornington Community Contact, Wallaroo Residents Action Group, and Rosebud West Action Group.

Human rights THE shire’s all abilities consultative committee and the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission have joined forces to present a free information session about the state charter on human rights.

Fox seen as answer to possum problem

By Barry Morris* THEY might have cute little faces and tails and protected by the Victorian Wildlife Act, but the abundance of ringtail possums in Mt Eliza and Mt Martha are being blamed for a massive loss of gum trees.

Ecologist Jeff Yugovic says the tree loss is linked to dense understoreys in which possums can hide from their major remaining predator, the fox.

IHe says the role of the introduced fox has replaced locally extinct native predators which would once have kept the possum population under control.

Dr Yugovic’s solution to the possum problem is to remove the their safe hideaways, forcing them to the ground so they can be caught by foxes.

He said dense understoreys are unnatural and also a major fire hazard to the community.

Speaking at this month’s Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group’s (BERG’s) annual general meeting Dr Yugovic said all indigenous eucalypts are susceptible, but swamp gums and narrow-leaf peppermints are being killed first.

He said affected trees eventually die unless protected and the prognosis for the eucalypts remaining in the landscape was extremely poor.

Mt Eliza, with up to 16 ringtail possums a hectare, has the highest known density of the marsupial in natural eucalypt vegetation in Australia.

While researchers found few brushtail possums in bushland reserves, Dr Yugovic said brushtails browse significantly on trees in gardens where

they are near buildings with shelter.

“Brushtails eat adult leaves which thins the foliage throughout trees, while ringtails are more damaging by being smaller and able to reach their preferred shoots and young leaves at the end of branches,” Dr Yugovic said.

Every few years, ringtail numbers plummet during intense heatwaves,

but they are able to breed up so that numbers rapidly recover within a year.

Brushtails are not so affected.

Dr Yugovic said all six native predators that controlled the ringtail in the past are now extinct in Mt Eliza.

There were two mammals, two birds and two reptiles: Powerful owls took possums from

tree canopies.

Grey goshawks and spot-tailed quolls killed ringtails lower in the trees.

Lace monitors were deadly venomous tree predators.

Car race takes toll on Ironman Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au NEXT year’s Ironman Asia Pacific Championship race has been cancelled and Frankston Council fears the region’s economy will take a multi-million dollar hit as a result.

Race organisers blamed a scheduling conflict with the Melbourne Grand Prix on the same weekend of 17-20 March as the reason to pull the pin on the swim, cycle and run triathlon but authorities say both events could have been accommodated.

The annual race, held in the south east of Melbourne, begins in Frankston and ends at St Kilda with the bike stage taking place along Eastlink after the swim stage at Frankston.

In a statement on Thursday 29 October World Triathlon Corporation Asia Pacific CEO Geoff Meyer said the cancellation was due to “challenges that have arisen due to a scheduling conflict with another major event in the Melbourne calendar”.

The Australian Formula One Grand Prix was originally scheduled to be held in Melbourne on 31 March-3 April but was moved to 17-20 March.

“Holding both events on the same day was explored; however, the impact on the city, surrounding communities, roads and emergency services was not manageable for an event to be delivered in Melbourne to the level required for our athletes’ safety and satisfaction,” Mr Meyer said.

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said the Ironman race cancellation is “a devastating blow” to Frankston.

“This annual international event brings widereaching benefits to local businesses, on both the day of the event and ahead of the race. It attracts 15,000 spectators and 2,500 competitors to Frankston City, who contribute an additional $2.2 million to the economy.”

Cr Mayer said council had notified the Ironman race organisers that the entire event could be hosted in the Bayside region to avoid traffic clashes with Grand Prix attendees.

“This would turn a potential issue into an opportunity that would benefit the south east Melbourne region.”

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said he is “bitterly disappointed” World Triathlon Corporation decided not to proceed with next year’s event.

He understood competitor registration numbers were lower than expected for 2016 compared to previous years.

“The organisers were presented with a range of options, including changing the route so the event finished in Frankston, but they’ve nonetheless decided to cancel the event for commercial reasons.”

Patrick Lane, a spokesman for Sports Minister John Eren, said there was no logistical reason to cancel next year’s Ironman. “This is a commercial decision made by the World Triathlon Corporation and is not due to a clash with another event. “ World Triathlon Corporation says all athletes registered for the 2016 Ironman Asia-Pacific Championship Melbourne will be offered race transfer and race refund options.

possum in their nests and finished them off on the ground.

Dr Yugovic said with thousands of trees affected, only a limited number of large trees in prominent positions could be saved by possum bands.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire has installed possum bands on selected trees on roadsides and in parks and reserves,” he said.

“This has been highly successful except for trees for which it was too late.”

Dr Yugovic said conservationist Tim Flannery has suggested reintroducing the Tasmanian devil to mainland Australia where it could help control foxes, cats and possums.

“There are moves to reintroduce devils to Wilsons Promontory but no program has been formalised,” he said.

“Is it not better that excess herbivores die quickly in the jaws of a predator rather than slowly through starvation which would damage the ecosystem and the species it contains?”

Dr Yugovic said the only way to save the remaining bushland is to reduce the understorey by physical thinning or fuel reduction burns. This removes possum shelter and forces possums to the ground to reach their food trees where they are exposed to foxes.

Practical tips on protecting individual trees were given by Dr Yugovic.

When damaged trees receive possum bands and are isolated from any connecting vegetation they generally recover very well. * The author is a member of BERG.

Giving Tree THE “Giving Tree” in the front window of Ray White Hastings is the place to donate gifts for children and families who will be doing it tough this festive season.

The Hastings office, at 69 High St, is partnering with Western Port Christmas Giving Program on the project which will help disadvantaged children. Local residents are asked to help.

“This gift drive is a really simple way to put a smile on the face of children and families who may need some extra cheer at this time of year,” said staff member Melissa Wallace.

“All you need to do is wrap up your present and drop it under the tree,” she said.

List if the gift is for a boy or girl, and nominate an age group. Staff will ensure it is delivered and help put a smile on their face this Christmas.

“It’s a really simple way to put a smile on the face of a young child who might otherwise go without this Christmas,” Ms Wallace said. “Just a small gift can make the biggest difference to families who are struggling at an expensive time of year.”

The Western Port Whisperer THE Whisperer has heard the State Government intends to only fund lighting projects at stations with premium status (the only station on the line with premium status is Frankston).

Poor lighting goes hand in hand with the lack of PSO’s, who were first promised five years ago. The Whisperer knows it can take a long time to travel to Stony Point via public transport, but five years waiting for PSO’s, and now a wait for lighting improvements (a basic need for any community) in the vicinity of our train stations is absolutely ridiculous. *** IN a sign of what could be ahead (with rate capping coming into effect next year), it

seems the Shire is cutting back on signs. The Whisperer understands multiple requests for directional signs by local community groups (on the side of roads, and in the centre of roundabouts) have been rejected for reasons including: 1. Signs for two similar types of buildings cannot appear on the same pole and; 2. Poles can only have a certain number of signs on them (despite signs on some poles being outdated by several years).

While these reasons seem logical to some, what concerns The Whisperer is new directional signs soon to be installed in the Hastings CBD are to be funded by BlueScope

Steel. While The Whisperer is happy to see some progress on basic issues (heaven knows progress can be slow at times), he also wonders why private companies pay for something that local government pays for in many other townships on the peninsula. It may surprise the Besgrove Street Posse in Rosebud, but not only are Hastings and the Western Port side of the Peninsula in your municipal boundaries, but residents over here in ‘Far Far Away Land’ happen to pay rates as well. *** A ‘Freedom of Entry’ Parade will take place in Hastings on Saturday 28 November. This parade will see personnel from HMAS Cerberus

seek permission from the new mayor of the Mornington Peninsula Shire to enter the township. This is a re-enactment of a ceremony that used to take place in the medieval times, where armed forces had to ask permission to pass through a township. The Whisperer wonders if any shire departments, public transport authorities or VicRoads intend to send any representatives to march, as it appears these various departments need permission to show any interest or concern for a long list of issues in the Western Port region. *** Heard any Whispers?

MPs push for police counter service

Action stations: Carolyn Donovan says her calendar pays tribute to firefighters – and raises funds for a worthy cause.

Picture: Keith Platt

Firefighters pause to pose for the cause A STYLISED calendar featuring firefighters from across the Mornington Peninsula is helping raise money for the new Monash Children’s Hospital.

Designed to hang on the wall, the Victorian Firefighter Calendar 2016 displays a month a page with space for jotting down notes in each day’s box. Public holidays are clearly marked.

The glossy pages feature fire fighters in posed, semi-action shots at locations all over the peninsula.

Producer Carolyn Donovan, of

“My husband is a firefighter and I saw that there was no calendar here and yet, overseas, lots of crews do them as major fundraisers,” Ms Donovan said.

The print run of 500 is designed to $5000 for the hospital once costs are deducted. The online price is $20 or $15 when bought over the counter.

“The hospital is excited and proud that we are using the concept to raise funds for them,” Ms Donovan said.

“It promotes fire fighters in such a positive light.”

Mornington, said the calendar paid tribute to the crews who “go above and beyond every day to serve the community”.

“They choose their valued profession because they want to make a difference in the world – to their community,” she said.

“They are willing to put their own lives on the line for ours, every day, and for that the community is truly grateful.”

This is the second calendar: last year’s effort raised $2700.

have officers out on patrol rather than keeping them in the office around the clock staffing a public counter.

“Within 10 kilometres of Somerville police station we've got three 24-hour police stations with a counter response,” Mr Ashton told 774 ABC Melbourne.

“Most people go into our stations not to report a crime but to have stat decs signed or to report on bail.

“Somerville is a police building, not a police station. It’s best to think of it that way. If it was a police station, we’d have a counter service.”

Detective Vallas said policing had “moved away from the 1800s where there was a manned police station in every small town”.

“We only have specialist police here and we have told the public what we are and what we do. If the public want uniformed police they can call Triple 000 even for petty crime.”

LAST THURSDAY EACH MTH (numbers permitting)

OPPOSITION Police spokesman Edward O’Donohue and Hastings MP Neale Burgess were at the $16.3 million Somerville police complex on Friday voicing their concerns over its lack of counter service.

They wanted to highlight the fact that it “remains closed to the public because of Daniel Andrew’s failure to provide funding for more police”.

Mr Burgess said it was important that he had been allowed inside the police building at the corner of Eramosa Rd West and Coolart Rd, Somerville. He was taken on a 30-minute tour by Acting Senior Sergeant Peter Drake and Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking.

“It was designed it as a station for the community,” Mr Burgess said.

“Regardless of what our state government would have us believe, that is what it is.”

He blamed the government’s “soft on crime approach” for not providing a public counter service at Somerville and for saying the lack of manning was “an operational issue”.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas said yesterday the Somerville complex was “never designed to be staffed by uniformed police”.

“Mr Burgess would have been aware of what the Chief Commissioner [Graham Ashton] said at the time, that the complex would not provide counter service, and that residents could access uniform police at Hastings, Mornington, Dromana, Rosebud and Sorrento,” he said.

Detective Vallas said it is better to

LETTERS Challenge to Hunt As a constituent of Flinders electorate, I'd like to congratulate the volunteers who received a big pat on the back from [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt via the Flinders Senior Awards. (“Awards for 'backbones of community',” The News 10/11/15).

Volunteers are not often acknowledged, let alone the value of their work socially and monetarily. Reading the vast range of services that these seniors support, they must save governing bodies a lot of money.

That there are 400,000 polio survivors currently receiving support from Polio Australia, which receives no government funding, is unbelievable.

Not only is the government slack in funding this vital service, it has also recently cut $36 million from Australia's aid program, specifically from programs that seek out the poliovirus in its hiding places. If people don't know where the disease is, eradication is impossible.

In 2014, only around 400 cases were found globally, the highest in Pakistan (328) and Afghanistan (28).

I do hope Mr Hunt will use his influence in Canberra to fund Polio Australia's work as well as reinstating funds to finish the job of eradicating polio from the planet.

Sue Packham, Woolamai

where to go.

My friend organised me to get into respite the next day and two weeks later the doctor fed me into the Rosebud Hospital. Even then I had to wait until 3pm after arriving at 8am before getting a bed. But, as I said before, I had help on hand.

I heard from another person and the ambulance driver who shifted me to the hospital that this is normal.

I would not like another person to go through the stress I did on that day.

With help I managed to get in the car the next day.

I am a pensioner, but I pay full benefits as there are some loopholes in the system.

The doctor was shocked as I have a lot of health problems.

Elizabeth Illingworth, Rosebud.

Nothing stays the same

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens, is correct in raising the alarm for very serious concerns (“Trail of Destruction,”Letters, 27/10/15). Those concerns are that Mr Stingel is obviously uninformed and basing his comments on assumptions that are totally incorrect.

What he describes, with dimensions from an unknown source, appears to indicate the intention of building a road rather than what is intended – joining the missing links in the existing bay trail.

Community 3942, part of the working group supporting both the shared pathway on the southern side of Point Nepean Rd and the Bay Trail on the northern side, see the advantage of both paths and a positive way of keeping pedestrian traffic off the bike lanes and narrow verges along the increasingly busy Point Nepean Rd. Coastal management, cultural heritage and vegetation retention have been a vital part of all discussions regarding the proposal and scaremongering as political point scoring should have no part to play.

Judith Walsh, Blairgowrie (chair Community 3942)

John Cain (“Change is coming”, Letters, 10/11/15) states that sceptics of his climate change beliefs are deniers and, like ostriches, have their heads in the sand. Sounds like a religion.

Could he understand that he has his own head in the sand because he does not subscribe to my beliefs?

Of course the climate is changing, as it always has and always will. The world was hotter in Roman empire times, a lot colder in the Middle Ages and the present cycle of warming is transient.

The extra carbon in the air is caused by increased heat, not the other way around.

I believe that the output of the sun is not constant year after year, century after century. I think it varies.

Does anyone not believe that the sun influences our climate? Only those with their heads in the sand.

My friends at both ends of the intellectual spectrum all believe in solar variations, it is only the poor sheep in the middle that have been led to believe otherwise.

The question is: if human activity is the cause of climate change then why not immediately begin to slash the world’s human population by having a one or two child a family policy everywhere for the next 100 years?

People, I have just shown you what you should be considering, and why. Think money.

Illness in the system

Protest dismissed

Something we all need to know. I had some pain killers from the doctor for a shredded muscle in my thigh.

I was in a lot of pain and called to say I could not cope. He said press your Mepac button and ask for an ambulance to take you to Rosebud Hospital. Luckily, a friend arrived and my daughter was on the way down.

There was no way I could have walked to or got in a car.

The [ambulance paramedics] said they could not take me as my injury was not life threatening. I would only sit for three hours and then be sent home.

That is not their decision. I would [at least] be around doctors and nurses.

They left and I was distressed and had no-

I think your correspondent John Cain, (“Change is coming”, Letters, 10/11/15) needs a gentle reminder about how government actually works in Australia. It is not the blowhards and single issue representatives that form government, but the party that gets the majority of public support.

A quick glance back at local history is all that is needed to prove this point.

People marching up and down Main St, Mornington, disrupting all and sundry to save the Mornington train. Train’s gone. Same crew doing the same a few years later to save the railway station. Station’s gone.

Uranium the danger In reply to Alan Reid (“Unreliable Energy”, Letters, 3/11/15) which encompassed and commented on Greens supporter Rupert Steiner (20/1/15): There is a genuine alternative to providing our planet with cost effective, safe clean, reliable energy, but most of the population doesn’t know or want to promote this alternative and now the uranium nuclear power generation issue has reared its ugly head again.

Real, safe, green nuclear power exists, but politicians and their advisors, along with the alternative energy fraternity, do not want it revealed.

Nuclear power is the new coal, keeping people employed.

Uranium power plants have problems with waste storage and terrorists and natural disasters would allow killer radiation that stays active for thousands of years to be carried around the world by the wind and sea currents harming humans, animals, and the environment.

Once the world is predominantly uranium dependent, the human race will be short lived, even extinct.

There is no talk of thorium, which is safe nuclear power available now.

It [power generation using isotope uranium-233] is a safe, controllable process and there is no storage of waste required.

The worldwide political system promoting uranium is selling out the human race for the short term financial gain of a few.

Everyone should demand the truth and support the use of thorium.

Graeme B Doreian, Dromana

Snake warning Snakes are now active and hungry after hibernation. They move around after dark so be careful.

Snakes are protected with heavy fines for killing them. Around Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula all shakes are deadly, so a bite or a suspected bite is an emergency.

Snake identification can be difficult as the colours vary within a breed. Snap bites can happen without the sufferer realising it has happened.

Symptoms vary and can take hours to become apparent. Puncture wounds can be hard to find.

Every generation of snakes is less fearful of people and so more dangerous.

Snake enthusiasts insist snakes never chase people and can be easily outrun.

Snakes like to go exploring in houses so don’t leave doors or unscreened windows open. On a hot day I’ve seen snakes move faster than a person could run.

Children aren’t being properly advised on snake dangers. A children’s book warns them to not play with snakes, nothing more. Children have denied being bitten as they consider playing with snakes to be naughty and so not to be mentioned.

Baby snakes can bite, injecting venom.

Anti-graffiti project THE state government has stumped up $23,000 for a graffiti prevention project in Mornington Park (formerly Tanti Park), Hastings and Rosebud West.

Newly elected mayor Cr Graham Pittock said the cash would pay for “an early intervention and prevention educational project provided

by Warner Youth Education in partnership with Victoria Police” in the three areas.

“It will also involve a series of murals created by primary and secondary students to encourage community pride and educate students about the consequences of illegal graffiti,” he said.

Grade 5 and 6 pupils from Mornington Park, Wallaroo, and Eastbourne primary schools as well as year 7 and 8 students from Mornington, Western Port, and Rosebud secondary colleges will take part.

Young people and the broader community will be involved in the project including Mornington North Residents Group, Mornington Community Contact, Wallaroo Residents Action Group, and Rosebud West Action Group.

Level crossings to go WORK on eight of the 11 level crossings identified for removal on the Frankston line will start in 2018.

Construction has already started on three crossings - Centre, North and McKinnon roads – and the next eight will begin in the 2018 election year.

The eight crossings are Charman Rd, Cheltenham; Balcombe Rd, Mentone; Edithvale Rd, Edithvale; Station St (at Bondi Rd), Bonbeach; Station St, Carrum; Eel Race Rd, Carrum; Seaford Rd, Seaford; and Skye Rd, Frankston.

The Premier Daniel Andrews was at Carrum two Sundays ago to announce the latest work schedule in his government’s program to remove 50 level crossings.

from private property and can’t by law recommend any licenced snake catcher. One local catcher quoted $100 to $200 with a discount for pensioners. Another had a flat fee of $180.

Snakes are usually released locally as they can’t be released outside their territory. So, if you leave out dog food and water, the snake may well eventually return.

Political correctness now demands that people live with possums, deadly snakes and sharks.

Young gun: Matson Lawson (class of 2010) was the youngest former Peninsula School student inducted into the hall of fame, and received his award from TOPSA committee member Lachlan Patton. Lawson represented Australia in backstroke at the 2012 London Olympics and won his first Australian title in the 200m backstroke in 2013.

Old boys and girls first hall of famers PROFESSORS, politicians, presenters, Olympians, comedians, footballers and one of the nation's top "spies" were among 38 people inducted into the inaugural Hall of Fame of the Peninsula School on Saturday last week.

The hall of fame has been created by the alumni association of the school in Mt Eliza, The Old Peninsula School Association, TOPSA. More than 120 people packed the H A Macdonald Pavilion at the school in Wooralla Drive to celebrate. They included three of the four principals who have led the school since it opened in 1961 – Harry Macdonald, Ray Hille and Stuart Johnston. Founding principal Rev Dr Dudley Clarke died in 2011 at age 90.

Well-known inductees included federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt, Victorian MP Edward O'Donohue, former state MP and Attorney-General Rob Hulls, Australian Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson (son of Linda Morris and stepson of Mornington MP David Morris), Olympians Matson Lawson and Dale Stevenson, AFL stars Stewart Loewe and Nathan Jones, comedians Mick Molloy and Sammy J, and Channel Seven newsreader Peter Mitchell.

And the spymaster? Nick Warner, DirectorGeneral of ASIS, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, who famously gave the first public speech about the service in 2012.

Also inducted were the school's first doctor, Harold Armstrong (class of 1966), and first Rhodes scholar, Michael Garner (1977).

Two women were inducted – Australian Army captain Courtney Ames (class of 2002) and Kara Richards (2005). Capt Ames was dux of her year at the Defence Force Academy in 2005 and dux at Royal Military College Duntroon in 2006, was among the first women to qualify in a specialist artillery role, and was appointed one of Governor-General Quentin Bryce's three women aides-de-camp in 2013. Ms Richards was a top level netballer, a member of under-age Australian squads, Australian Institute of Sport

scholarship winner, and member of Victorian Fury, Melbourne Vixens and Adelaide Thunder.

The school went co-ed in 1995.

TOPSA president Greg Sugars OAM said the hall of fame recognised and celebrated the achievements of inspiring alumni of the school.

"By promoting their extraordinary success stories, other alumni and current students can be motivated and inspired to push the boundaries and realise their own dreams," he said.

Principal Stuart Johnston said the honour roll represented "a living history of our school".

More than 7500 students have attended the school.

Hall of fame inductees: Sciences: Dr Harold Armstrong, Prof David Bogle, Dr Chris Kimber, Dr Adrian Oates and Prof Michael Sandiford.

Arts: Emeritus Prof Richard Freadman, Sam McMillan (Sammy J), Mick Molloy, Mark Pennell, Lachlan Redd, James Rees and Dr Richard Vaudrey.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Welcome home for Private Berry Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association will be held on Monday evening next, when Mr T M Burke will deliver an address on cooperation. *** WORD has been received that Private F. A. Murray, of Somerville, has been wounded in the forehead while at the front at Anzac. It is not known whether the wound is serious or not. *** A welcome home social will be tendered to Private E. A. Berry at the Langwarrin Hall this evening, and at the same time a farewell and presentation will be given to Gunner Wm. Evans. A good programme is being arranged, and an excellent evening’s amusement is assured. *** A “Wattles” Club dance will be held tonight (Saturday) in the Mechanics’ Hall. One shilling is the price of admission, and supper will be provided.

All proceeds are devoted to the fund for sick and wounded Australians. Everybody is invited to come along and show their sympathy in a good cause. *** WE note that Mr A. W Taylor of the Frankston Motor Garage has the district agency for “Overland” cars. He has purchased a car from a shipment of 1916 models which is arriving in Melbourne early in December. Mr Taylor now has the agency for “King” ‘Studebaker” and ”Overland” cars and he will be glad to talk to any one wishing to know more about them.

*** AN oil painting was raffled by Mrs Reynolds on Tuesday. There were 225 names secured and No 15 proved to be the lucky number, which was held by Private Sid. Marsh, who is now on his way to the fighting line with the Expeditionary Forces. The proceeds of the raffle (18s 9d) will be handed over to the Red Cross Fund. The picture was painted and presented by Miss N. Blunden. *** OUR readers will no doubt be pleased to learn that Mr Frank S. Plowman, son of Dr Plowman, although he has not completed his first year as a Staff Cadet at the Royal Military College, Duntroon, has won the tennis championship (singles) of the Military College, as well as the Mile Walk of the College Sports. His tennis game must have improved immensely, as although he, when in Frankston, played a sound game, it was nothing extraordinary. *** A meeting of ladies was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday evening for the purpose of making arrangements in connection with the refreshment stall at the Athletic Sports on New Year’s Day Mrs H M’Comb was appointed President, and Miss Gregory hon secretary. Those present formed themselves into a committee, with power to add, and it was decided to run the stall on the same lines that were so successful last year. A further meeting is called for Tuesday evening next, when it is requested that all those

interested will attend. *** FROM the Brisbane (Queensland) “Herald” of October 29th, we note that Mr Frank Jolly won the Spencer First Division Sheffield Handicap, run on the Brisbane Cricket Ground, on the evening of 27th October. The Brisbane “Herald” says Jolly, who shaped in quite his best form, beat a hot pot in the Victorian runner, P. Quinlin, who was not equal to pacing it in, with the popular Jolly, in the final.

A week later, we note with pleasure, Mr Jolly also won the big Glideway Sheffield Handicap, in the presence of many thousands of spectators. Mr Jolly is a Frankston boy, and has for the past six years, represented the Vacuum Oil Co, Pty. Ltd., in Brisbane. *** OWING, no doubt, to the changeable weather we are experiencing, colds are very prevalent in Frankston at present and several residents are laid by for a time with rather severe attacks. Miss Feldman is at present an inmate of St. Pancras hospital suffering from pleurisy, and Mr E. K. M’Comb, who has had a severe cold for a time has developed pneumonia.

We offer them our sympathy, and trust that it will not be long before they are both on the road to a complete recovery. *** ANNIVERSARY services in connection with the Frankston Methodist Sunday School were held on Sunday last, when the Rev T. Adamson occupied the pulpit morning, afternoon

and evening, and gave interesting addresses to good congregations.

Special hymns were sung by the children, under the leadership of Mr H. Prosser. The orchestra, consisting of Messrs Ellis and Deane, (violin) H Prosser, E. Willox, L Gunther (cornet) Messrs D. Petrie, and L. Prosser (euphonium) and Mr Kemp (bass) also added considerably to the harmony.

Miss Jackson presided at the organ.

On the Monday evening the services were continued in the church, when a good programme was rendered by the children, and friends, Rev R Jackson presiding. During the evening the chairman presented Mr H. Prosser (superintendent of the school) on behalf of the scholars, with a silver cake basket, as a slight memento of the occasion, and in appreciation of his valuable services.

The anniversary was one of the most successful yet held and great interest was manifested in the proceedings throughout. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Progress Association was held in the Mechanics’ Hall, on Wednesday evening, Rev G. A. Kitchen in the chair.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. The following correspondence was dealt with :— From Acting Secretary Victorian Railways, stating that arrangements had been made for the Departmental photographer to visit Frankston with a view to obtaining photographic views of the locality —Received.

From Deputy Post master General,

in reply to a request to install the telephone at the local railway station, stating that it was considered that the revenue that would be derived there from would not be sufficient to warrant the installation—Received.

An account for 12s 6d.was passed for payment. Mr Wheeler moved that the Postmaster General be written to, strongly protesting against the alteration of the time of arrival of the evening mail in Frankston as besides being inconvenient, was detrimental to trade, and next to useless. Seconded

by Mr Kitchen and carried.

Mr Wheeler moved that the Council be asked to exercise proper supervision over the public bathing boxes, in Frankston, as at present they were in a filthy condition and a menace to health. Seconded by Mr Young and carried. Rev G. A. Kitchen moved that a protest be forwarded to the Minister of Defence against the laxity shown by the authorities at Langwarrin, in allowing the soldiers, affected with disease, to come and go at will. Seconded by Mr Gregory and carried. The meeting then closed. *** Australian Expeditionary Forces. Recruits Wanted. Every man physically fit is wanted. Conditions of enlistment: Age—18 to 45 years. Minimum height— 5 feet 2 inches Chest measurement—33 inches *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 November, 1915

11 Peppermint Place Bittern Offers Invited Over $1,150,000 Tallon Estate Agents, 35 High Street, Hastings, 5979 3000 Nigel Evans 0439 540 055

CRAFTED from West Australian sandstone, this magnificent rural-residential property combines the best of natural materials with a contemporary style and superb quality throughout. Enjoying a tranquil setting on about 6500 square metres in the always popular Kinfauns Estate, the home is set well back from the road privately ensconced amongst the trees. Wonderful timber decking features to all sides of the property which greatly increases the already considerable size of the home - there is also a four-car garage under the roof line - and certainly with the warmer months here will be an entertainerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise on summer nights. A spectacular alfresco deck seamlessly

opens through concertina doors to a formal lounge which in itself is the true standout feature of the home. A massive sandstone wall dominates the room, with soaring cathedral ceilings and exposed beams equally majestic. Amongst the more contemporary stylings of the nearby dining, kitchen and family room, the rich spotted gum timbers used here create an amazing contrast that is absolutely breathtaking.

The kitchen is another design marvel, answering every storage need with a host of soft-close cupboards and drawers. Appliances include a stainless-steel oven, range hood and double-drawer dishwasher with servery windows opening out to the verandah and outdoor entertaining area.

LAND FOR SALE 606m2 - 688m2

Three bedrooms all have built-in robes and share the main bathroom with spa bath, and a powder room. A separate study could be a fifth bedroom if required. The upstairs zone is a superb retreat for parents with an enormous main bedroom enjoying a private balcony which overlooks the property, a walk-in robe and the splendid ensuite has a frameless walk-in shower, twin vanities and a spa bath.

There is a healthy amount of lawn area around the home for children and pets to really enjoy themselves and lowmaintenance landscaping to the front of the home includes native grasses and palm trees, with one particularly large palm tree a great focal point as you enter the property.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

To Sir, with lots and lots of love

By Stuart McCullough THE dream is over. For two and a half years I was in with a shot, but not anymore. Granted, my chances of being knighted were so slim that if standing side on you’d be lucky to see them at all, but a chance is still a chance no matter how remote it may be. That news the imperial honours system has been junked should break just weeks before a new Star Wars film is released - presumably robbing imperial Storm Troopers of any hope that their work trying to fend off a Jedi-led insurgency might finally be recognised in a meaningful way - is almost too tragic for words.

The abolition of knights and dames creates a giant vacuum. By which, of course, I mean that it sucks enormously. Sure, we still have various honours we can bestow on our best and brightest but, for mine, titles like ‘Order of Australia’ have always sounded like something that comes with chips and salad. It seems terribly administrative.

If we can no longer climb aboard the Dame Train or aspire to becoming Knight Rider, then we need something equally as dazzling. Something with some spark. Some pizzazz, if you will.

So if ‘knights and dames’ are out, is there any chance of introducing ‘guys and dolls’ instead? Damon Runyon might well turn in his grave at the thought, but the idea that recipients might deliver their speeches before high-stepping down the steps while performing ‘Luck Be A Lady’ is thrilling beyond compare. Or if that’s too old-fashioned, perhaps something

a little more contemporary like the ‘Captains and Tennilles’? Or, for those who feel uncomfortable with any honours system that imposes a gender divide, maybe an awards system involving ‘Burt and Ernies’ or ‘Laverne and Shirleys’ would do the trick.

Although I very much like the idea of being honoured by my country, I’ve no idea what it is I’ve done that might cause such a gift to be bestowed on me. Not that I suffer from any shortage of talent. More that these various abilities are not the kind of things the

‘mainstream’ would generally deem worthy of recognition. For example, I have an eerie ability to find my wife’s house keys. I don’t know exactly how; whether it’s luck or divine intervention, but wherever those suckers are hiding, I’ll be all over them like a rash on a baby’s backside within moments. All I need to do is close my eyes and – kapow! – I know where to look. Chances are it’s because I have the kind of memory that would make the Elephant Man weep with envy. My wife, however, strongly suspects that

I hide her keys for the sole purpose of being able to heroically recover them at some later point. She may well be right.

Luckily, stealing and then recovering someone else’s house keys is far from my only talent. I am also a hell of a reverse parker. Granted, I only started reverse parking after many years of avoiding it altogether, preferring instead to circle block after block in an never-ending pilgrimage to find a space large enough to go ‘front end first’. Had my driving instructor known about these activities, he would surely have retrospectively disqualified me. However, after a time, I both grew in confidence and obtained a smaller vehicle and tried my luck backing in like a regular person.

At first the results were varied. But soon, after much persistence, I was able to park my car perfectly with as few as seven attempts. I distinctly recall one particular occasion on which I succeeded in squeezing my Daihatsu Charade in between a Range Rover and a brown Camira outside Los Chicos in Balaclava in a single go, much to amazement of those waiting for the number 67 tram. If that doesn’t warrant being made a knight of the realm, I don’t know what does.

But it’s not all key discovering and reverse parking. Not at all. I am also extremely good at returning videos on time. Sure, it’s a skill that’s now about as useful as blacksmithing or being a candlestick maker, but at the time it seemed quite freakish. Even when indulging in five weeklies for ten dollars, my ability to get them back before

incurring a fine can only be described as prodigious. Sadly, video stores all shut up and went out of business before my achievements could properly be celebrated.

Who knows why I feel strongly? Paperwork may have something to do it.

Who when filling in some manky piece of paperwork and upon being pushed to select from ‘Mr’, ‘Mrs’ or ‘Ms’ hasn’t longed for something more exciting. For as long as I can remember, I have ached to tick the ‘Other’ box. Beside the box would be a blank space or series of dots, inviting you to provide more information. I would, of course, be glad to oblige. Beside it, I would write in very plain, clear letters, ‘Sir’.

It would impress the heck out of the cabin crew as I handed up my customs declaration, to say nothing of when I completed the application to join the local Video Ezy. These ambitions, however, will now go unrealised.

Sadly it is not to be. I am destined to remain un-knighted for my services to reverse parking, and unrecognised for my achievements in locating errant house keys. And as for a lifetime of accomplishment in the field of timely video return, it will go unremarked upon. So for all those who have let themselves laugh aloud at the news that imperial honours are, once again, to be relegated to the scrapheap, think about the real victims of this decision.

Or, better yet, watch me complete this reverse park and, once complete, come over and shake my hand. After all, I deserve something. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

BRINGING BACK ‘THE BOSS’

By Melissa Walsh If you love Bruce Springsteen then you don’t want to miss Thunder Road ‘The songs of Bruce Springsteen’ at The Grand Hotel on November 20.

Without a doubt Australia’s number one Bruce Springsteen tribute band, Thunder Road capture the magic of a true live Bruce Springsteen show in all its rocking glory.

Thunder Road take their audiences on a musical journey through Bruce’s entire career. Playing all of Bruce’s classic hits from ‘Born to Run’ and ‘Born in the USA’ through to his current day releases.

Talented Mornington musician, Gavin Leadbetter from Nepean Music heads up a full seven piece ‘E-street’ style backing band and they don’t cut any corners on their way to giving Springsteen fans, a show as good as it gets.

“It all came about after we had a successful country rock band which is still going, and decided to have a break from that,” says Leadbetter. “We realized we played Springsteen music together really well and we added a couple of different members to the band to make up like the E-string band with an organ and saxophone and female vocal to give it that big authentic sound. It was about 2012 when we started putting this band together.”

Along with Leadbetter on lead vocals and

guitar, the Thunder Road band includes Mitch Dean, backing vocals, guitar and harmonica, Darren Shiels, drums, Dean Harris, bass, Simon Leveret, piano and organ, Dave Hedges, saxophone, brass instruments, organ, and Natalie Mincher, backing vocals.

“Our very first gig was in 2012 and we simply spread the word we were doing Bruce Springsteen songs and the work started pouring in. I am not Bruce Springsteen but we do put the

energy across the songs across and that’s how we do it,” says Leadbetter. “We do all his hits, everything from Born to Run to Born in the USA and everything in between, all the big album tracks and all the crazy hits in between.”

With an audience following of the old faithful Springsteen fans that have been loving his music since the 70s and young kids who have just started getting into the classic Springsteen vibe, the show at the Grand is sure to be epic.

“We sill be doing two big one hour sets on the night, starting around 8.30pm, and we can’t wait,” says Leadbetter.

But tickets online or at the door. This is an 18+ event.

Thunder Road ‘Songs of Bruce Springsteen’ is at The Grand Hotel, 124 Main Street, Mornington, Friday November 20 from 8pm till midnight.

and a more upmarket vibe. In moving with the times, we decided to stay true to our quality produce and dishes, but create a more casual menu that offers full meals as well as grazing plates and nibbles.”

Relax on the front terrace looking over the park and bay, with a wine, a beer or just a coffee and cake, or enjoy some tasty delights from the new Counting House menu.

Enjoy the best of both worlds with the Counting House offering delicious specials every day like the Counting House pie, or the Bank Sandwich. There is gnocchi with broad beans and peas, pork sausages with chargrilled apple and mash, and scotch fillet with fries. For those who like to graze, you can’t go past the pork sliders, duck liver pate, or pumpkin and goats cheese croquettes.

Inside the bleached wood décor and timber floors provide the perfect backdrop for the stunning new artworks that light up the rooms, so there’s still plenty of French charm to enjoy, from the restaurant that sits on the promenade.

For a special dinner or catching up with friends, the evening menu is mouth watering, including oysters with shallot and red wine vinegar, pork, chicken, pistachio and prune terrine for starters, or clam linguine with white wine sauce, and smoked duck salad with beets and feta to name a few.

With an extensive background in hospitality, Max has developed his skills whilst working in restaurants overseas and currently owning inner city bars. After moving to the Mornington Peninsula with his family, and teaming up with head chef Gavin Ong, he was finally able to fulfill his dream of owning a restaurant by the ocean when he purchased the 100 year old building.

“The historic building was previously the state savings bank, which is why it has the name Counting House,” says Max. “It has heaps of original features and even the repainting had to be done in heritage colors. We have the original building’s

fireplace, pressed metal ceilings, and bank vault, which has been converted into a wine cellar. The blackbird silhouette is the emblem of the counting house and is historically significant.”

With dishes sourced from mainly local

suppliers and a seasonal menu, Counting House always offers gastronomic surprises.

“Part of the refurbishment has been to change the menu to a more casual fare,” explains Max. “We had previously been more a la carte with classic French dishes

Counting House is fully licensed and offers a comprehensive wine list that showcases local wineries, and breweries in Red Hill and Mornington.

Counting House is at 787 Esplanade, Mornington. Phone 5975 2055. www.countinghouse.com.au

VCAL provides practical work-related experience, as well as literacy and numeracy skills and the opportunity to build personal skills that are important for

life and work. Like the Victorian CertiďŹ cate of Education (VCE), VCAL is an alternative accredited secondary certiďŹ cate to Year 11 and 12 studies.

Students who do the VCAL are likely to be interested in going on to training at Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutes, doing an apprenticeship, or getting a job after completing school.

The Eagles in command PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully SORRENTO looks to be staring down the barrel of a significant loss to Somerville in MPCA Provincial cricket.

The Sorras seemed to give themselves every opportunity to pick up the four points after rolling the home side inside 50 overs.

However, the Eagles scored at almost four runs an over and were able to set the visitors a more than reasonable target of 197 to chase down.

Jack Barbour was the chief scorer for the Eagles with 44 while Brad Rossborough hit 26 and Craig Black 23.

Rob Parslow was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers with 4/33 from 18 overs, while Jayden Morgan claimed 3/31. The loss of AJ King was a telling factor.

With a further 30 overs to play for the afternoon and playing without Nick Jewell also, the Sorras were soon in all sorts of trouble with Corey Harris, Bobby Wilson and Jedd Falck back in the sheds before the score had hit 20.

Anthony Blackwell soon followed and at stumps, Sorrento was in genuine strife at 6/46.

Matty Roach carried on his sensational form for the Eagles, claiming 5/18 from 12 overs.

Baxter went from being in all kinds of trouble against Langwarrin to be in a strong position at the end of the day’s play.

Baxter won the toss and batted first and were up against it at 2/29 and then again at 5/59.

However, Chris Brittain picked up a half century (51) and Leigh Paterson again had a significant impact in the middle order when his side was

struggling, scoring 51.

The home side set the Kangas 155.

Adam Campbell was the pick of the bowlers for the Kangas with 4/57 from 21 overs, while Nathan Volpe (3/33) and Matty Prosser (2/19) also played their roles.

In reply, the Kangas are in some real strife at 4/49.

Dale Irving caused the visitors all kinds of problems and ripped through the top order to finish the day with 3/10 from his nine overs.

Crib Point has already picked up a first innings victory against Mt Eliza.

The Mounties were bowled out for just 90 in 47.5 overs after Jacob Cook tore through the bottom order to claim 6/24. Glenn Barclay picked up 2/32 and Brad Davidson took 2/28.

Keith Biggs was the best of the Mt Eliza batsmen with 32.

In reply, the Magpies are 4/98, a lead of eight runs.

Matty Blake is not out 41 and Henry Dolphin is unbeaten at the other end.

One senses there is a still a lot of cricket left in this one.

Rye is in serious trouble yet again.

With two outright victories against them already and things already very embarassing for the proud club, Rye is staring down the barrel of a third against Long Island.

The Islanders went out on Saturday and played like it was a one day match. They blasted 6/240 in 46 overs with Justin Bridgeman getting 70 and Simon Dignan opening with 76.

Cooper Harris snared 4/71 from 13 overs for the Demons.

In reply, Rye was bowled out for just 49 in 28 overs. Matt Noldt top scored with 22.

Scott Phillips picked up 6/27 in 14 overs and Chris Hocking picked up a couple.

Facing the last six overs of the day,

Rye lost Noldt and will resume on week two at 1/7.

Long Island will not need to bat a second time.

The match between Pines and Mornington appears as though it may go down to the wire.

Despite scoring just 135 in 67.4 overs, the Doggies did have the upper hand at stumps when they removed three of Pines’ top four batsmen for just 28 runs.

Earlier, Ricky Ramsdale took 4/42 and Pat Jackson and Luke Bartlett took two wickets each. Brad McDonald top scored for the Dogs with 24 while Luke Popov made 20.

Moorooduc and Peninsula Old Boys are locked in a battle also.

The Ducs made 171 with Sam Adams top scoring with 37 and Wade Pelzer being the unlikely hero with the ball for the Old Boys, taking 3/17.

In reply, the Old Boys are 1/17.

Braves in dominant form

DISTRICT

By IT Gully SEAFORD has a lot of work to do in the field on day two of its match against Baden Powell, the side dominating MPCA District cricket.

Seaford won the toss and batted first on Saturday at Seaford Reserve and got away to a flying start, getting 50 on the board without loss.

However, the home side lost four wickets inside 22 runs and were in some trouble at 4/77 with Ryan McQueen (29), Paul Hartle (23), Faisal Payenda and Damien Lawrence all back in the sheds.

Nick Simpendorfer offered some resistance in the middle order with a hard fought 53 but there was no fight below him.

The final four wickets fell for just 30 runs.

Michael Ballard claimed 3/23 for the Braves, while Tom Wood helped himself to 3/9 from eight overs and Ryan Barnett opened with 3/57 from 20 overs.

In reply, the Braves are cruising at 1/89. Nathan Cassano is unbeaten on 51 and Rhys Elmi is not out 25 at the other end.

Pearcedale and Red Hill are two undefeated teams well in battle after day one at Pearcedale Reserve.

This match is must see viewing on day two after 15 wickets fell on the opening day.

Red Hill batted first and lasted 49.1 overs for just 139 runs.

Simon Dart scored 59 and Nick Shaw made 25. There were four ducks and only four scores above 10.

Chris Dew was outstanding for the Panthers with 4/33 while Shane Maggs was sensational yet again with 3/33. What a difference Maggs has made!

Red Hill’s bowlers needed to produce something pretty special and they did just that, claiming 5/86 from 30 overs. Luke Toy claimed three

wickets and Glenn Collett a couple.

Chris Dew and Kaine Smith are not out on 33 and 13 respectively.

Not unlike Pearcedale Reserve, there were 13 wickets fall at Roy Dore Reserve in the match between Carrum and Main Ridge.

The Lions batted first and made just 139 in 70 overs.

Travis Barker (3/15 from 18.2 overs) and James Abbott (3/29) were the best of the Ridge bowlers.

Facing the last 10 overs of the day, Main Rudge slumped to 3/16 with Jeremy Graves picking up two wickets and Liam Dobson one.

Mt Martha has set Boneo a massive task to score 310 runs for victory.

The Reds batted first on Saturday and scored a super impressive 6/309.

Mitchel Darville opened with his highest score of 121 while Matthew Pollock scored 64 and Kyle Bendle (58) continued his good form with his second half century for the season.

Cameron Williams and Leigh Janssen took two wickets each for Boneo.

Seaford Tigers have set Heatherhill 177 for victory.

At one stage the Tigers were in real trouble at 5/31 before Ash Mills scored 80 and Matty Meagher 48.

Jordan Creely was the pick of the Hill’s bowlers with 6/31 from 15 overs, while Jason Hinde snared 3/30.

In reply, Heatherhill faced the final four overs of the day and lost opener Matt Bishop for a duck. They will resume at 1/11.

Flinders scored 9/229 against Delacombe Park with the middle and lower order saving the day.

The Sharks were 4/35 at one stage before Blake Hogan-Keogh scored 80, Shane Beggs 57 and Simon Parrott 40.

Shane Deal was again superb with 4/93 from 34 overs while Dean Blight claimed 4/70 from 29.3 overs.

Rosebud disappoints in big game SUB-DISTRICT

Batting for a win: Ballam Park have just three wickets in hand chasing victory. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully ONE of the new glamour teams of MPCA Sub District cricket looked far from that on Saturday when Rosebud and Dromana went head to head at Dromana Reserve.

With a number of big name recruits between them in the off season, the Hoppers and the Buds were expected to put on a real show on Saturday.

However, Rosebud was a let down.

Dromana dominated them with the ball and then put them to the sword with the bat later in the day.

Rosebud won the toss and batted first but were rolled for just 127 in the 47th over.

Aaron Kaddatz was superb yet again with 4/24 from 14.3 overs while Jeff Bluhm snared a more than tidy 3/40 from 15 overs.

Brad Glenn top scored for the Buds with 36 and Billy Quigley contributed 22.

In reply, the Hoppers are looking the goods at 1/75 with Andrew West on 42 and Darren Kerr on 24.

Hastings may not have performed overly well with the bat against Tootgarook on Saturday but it does have the home team on the ropes.

The Blues batted first and made
