Record delivery IT was the biggest weekend of Crib Point cricketer Brad Davidson’s life. In the space of just 14 hours, the 26-year-old all-rounder set a record high score for Crib Point Cricket Club with 238 runs before rushing off to hospital to be with his partner Roxy Aldrich for the birth of their first child. The dedicated cricketer, who has been with the club since the under 12s, had never before scored a century, let alone a double ton. So it appeared to be fate that his prolific runscoring effort, which included 33 fours and three sixes, should come on the weekend his daughter Ava was born. It was a minor miracle that Davidson was able to take his place at the crease at all. He had given up his place in the firsts to be with his partner for the birth. But with Roxy more than three days overdue and with no sign of Ava’s arrival anytime soon, Davidson decided to pad up for the seconds. He strode to crease at Crib Point Reserve to begin his marathon stint about 1.30pm on Saturday and was still there at the close of play at 6pm, having eclipsed the club’s previous record of 220 runs. But there was no time for celebrations. With Roxy have begun contractions soon afterwards, he was straight off to Frankston Hospital. Ava was born just before 8am on Sunday, weighing in at a healthy 6.9 pounds. Asked which was the bigger highlight of the weekend, Davidson sensibly nominated the birth of his first child. “It’s an amazing experience to be a father for the first time,” he said. “She is just gorgeous.” And Ava is well on the way to becoming his biggest fan, having already visited the ground along with mum Roxy to behold the second most important milestone of the weekend – a batting scorecard recording 238 runs.

Thumbs down for restaurant David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au COUNCILLORS have resoundingly rejected a large restaurant-art development proposal near PointLeo by the Gandel family, describing many aspects of the application as inappropriate and inconsistent with state and local planning schemes.

With four councillors absent from the meeting and officers hesitant in their responses to some intense questioning from councillors present, the recommendation to approve the plan, moved by CrAntonella Celi, lapsed for want of a seconder. The absent four were councillors David Gibb, Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and David Garnock, all usually Celi allies. Some councillors expressed sur-

prise later that the proposal had failed. A nine-point resolution to reject the proposal was put together during an adjournment. Its main points were:  The application inappropriately uses a Heritage Overlay provision to win approval for a use prohibited in the green wedge zone on 6.6 hectares of land – GW requires 40ha minimum for a restaurant.  The heritage benefit is substantially

less than the variation being sought under the overlay.  Proposed tree removal would damage the property’s heritage value.  Relocation of the heritage house would have an adverse effect on its significance.  Relocation of the house and a rammed earth building would place them outside the heritage overlay.  No benefits from the proposed land

use “can be demonstrably applied towards the conservation of the heritage place”.  The restaurant-cellar door are not, as required, in conjunction with a vineyard on the same land parcel.  The proposal is inconsistent with state and local planning requirements as well as those of GW rules as the land is less than 40ha.

Luke’s legacy shines on despite theft Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A CALLOUS act of theft marred last week’s opening of a new training facility and memorial garden in honour of murdered schoolboy Luke Batty at Tyabb’s Bungyan Reserve. A thief stole the handbag of Luke’s mother Rosie Batty after smashing a window in her car as she visited the memorial garden last Monday ahead of the official opening. The heartless act left Ms Batty too shaken to join Friday’s opening, which was attended by more than 100 people, including Luke’s friends from Tyabb Cricket Club and members of the community. Among the items stolen from Ms Batty’s handbag were precious pictures of Luke, as well as credit cards and documents. Ms Batty said she was too upset to attend the opening following a “torrid week” in the wake of the theft, but said she did not want to detract from the event by dwelling on the actions of the thief. Ms Batty has forged close bonds with the Tyabb Cricket Club following Luke’s murder by his father at the ground in February and is now a member of the club’s board. The club has harnessed strong community support in its efforts to raise funding for the new nets and Luke Batty Memorial Garden. Many locals pitched in to help build the garden, which is designed to bloom into a sea of yellow, Luke's favourite colour. Tyabb Cricket Club president Sam

Looking forward: Five-year-old Nate Profitt couldn’t wait to try out the new state-of-the-art cricket nets at Tyabb Cricket Ground, which were officially opened last Friday along with a memorial garden in honour of Luke Batty. Picture: Gary Sissons

Taranto said the garden would provide a permanent reminder Luke. However, he said it was now time for the club and community to bring the issue to a close and “move forward”. “Obviously we’ll never forget what happened but it’s time to start moving

forward,” Mr Taranto said. He said he did not wish to dwell on the theft of Ms Batty’s handbag but rather focus on the positive example the community had set in its efforts to raise more than $120,000 for the nets and garden.

“This is about a community coming together and working to create something positive,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for the club to thank all those who have helped us with the new nets and garden.”

Seven count on votes in Hastings SEVEN candidates have nominated for the state seat of Hastings at the Saturday 29 November election. The seat is now held by the Liberal Neale Burgess who is being opposed for the second time running by Labor’s Steve Hosking. Also in the line-up are Scot Leslie, Australian Country Alliance, Derek Fagan, Australian Greens, Colin Roberson, Rise Up Australia party and independents Robert Andersson and Paul Madigan.

Gliders take off into the blue over the green HANG glider and paraglider pilots are taking off from much firmer – and less slippery – ground from the cliffs next to Flinders golf course. New synthetic grass has replaced tattered carpet from where the gliders can be launched. Rob van der Klooster, of the Victorian Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, said the $20,000 project would rectify the “slip hazard” at the launch site. He said a launching place at Portsea was also being refurbished “hopefully in time for Christmas”. Advice on a website for hang gliders and paragliders being flown at

Western Port

Flinders talks about pilots using “quite buoyant bubbles of air” from rocks on the beach to spend “many happy times floating about 700 foot above take-off riding these bubbles while less fortunate souls without varios whiz about only one or two hundred feet above launch”. “The Flinders area has proven to be a very popular, versatile paragliding and hang gliding venue. The golf course take off area and recovery steps make it that much safer and easier,” the website advises. “When the wind is SW [south west], give it away, the turbulence in the

corner has nearly claimed some of our more experienced pilots.” The website also advises pilots not to drive the wrong way down the oneway road through the golf course and to land on the beach to “ensure that we keep the golfers happy”. Other “special rules” applying at Flinders include no aerobatics near the launch ramp, no using the golf course to wrap equipment, using walking paths and not flying in front of the West Head naval base: “The guns are still in use!” Keith Platt

These businesses will locate in the port’s commercial warehousing precinct so they can receive their containers directly into their warehouses, saving a great deal of time and money in not needing to transport them.

PROTECT & IMPROVE OUR ENVIRONMENT – FACT: The work that is currently being undertaken with the $110 Million provided by the state government is amongst the best environmental work and research ever in Victoria As a further benefit a package of works is being undertaken by the State Government through Melbourne Water to address the significant silting issues created in Western Port through urbanisation around the Koo Wee Rup Main Drain area.

Green wedge land swap on the cards Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au

Picture: Andrew Bartels, CFA brigade support officer

Mother, daughter injured in crash A FOUR-year-old girl remains in a serious condition at the Royal Children’s Hospital following a three-vehicle collision at Hastings on Friday. Police said a sedan was travelling west along Coolstores Rd about 9.15am when it collided with a Volkswagen kombi travelling north along the Frankston-Flinders Rd. The impact flipped the Volkswagen on its side and it slid across into the south bound lanes where it was struck by a truck and flipped back onto its wheels. The girl, from Balnarring, was airlifted to the Royal Children’s Hospital where she was placed in an induced coma after being operated on for

head injuries. The girl’s mother, 43, who was driving the kombi, was taken by ambulance to Frankston Hospital where she was treated for severe bruising. The 56-year-old truck driver from Cranbourne was uninjured. The driver of the sedan, a 64-year-old Merricks man, was not injured. Leading Senior Constable Lee Thomson said anyone with information about the accident should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

STATE government agencies want to swap government land on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana with bushland owned by Mornington Peninsula Shire next to Arthurs Seat State Park. The swap has been mooted by the Department of Environment and Primary Industries, and Parks Victoria. The shire land, known as Concept Spur, is on Seamists Drive off Purves Rd and would become part of the state park. This was first proposed in 1994 by the nowdefunct Land Conservation Council, the forerunner of Environment Victoria. The Crown land is at 161-191 Boundary Rd, Dromana, and is known as Parkdale Estate, part of which is Hillview Community Reserve. It is green wedge land. Concept Spur came on the radar earlier this year when Arthurs Seat Skylift spokesman Simon McKeon told a public meeting 55 hectares of “shire-controlled” land had been identified by shire and Parks Victoria officers as a suitable vegetation offset for clearing at the gondola chairlift bottom station, the 14-16 metre wide gondola corridor up Arthurs Seat, and the top station with its 100-seat cafe. He said the land would be transferred from shire ownership to Parks Victoria and be included in Arthurs Seat State Park. But the shire is now saying the land swap is not connected to the chairlift proposal, which was narrowly approved by the council in early June and is being challenged in the Victorian Civil and

Administrative Tribunal by community lobby group Save Our Seat. The case started on 5 November and was still being heard last Friday. In March, the shire’s manager of statutory planning, Angela Hughes, told The News the “potential transfer of shire-controlled land into Arthurs Seat State Park has been raised as one potential option to achieve the native vegetation offset required by this proposed development [chairlift]”. She said this would have the benefit of “keeping the offset in our community and may provide a higher degree of protection for the land”. But the shire appears to have backed away from the land being used as a chairlift offset with shire property manager Yasmin Woods stating in a fact sheet that the gondola could still be built even if the land swap did not go ahead. She said offset land may be outside the shire or Skylift could pay DEPI to replant native vegetation. The Concept Spur land of 55 hectares (140 acres) was given to the Shire of Flinders in 1974 when a developer subdivided land west of Purves Rd between Seamists Drive and Waterfall Gully Rd. The land is zoned green wedge and would unlikely ever be rezoned for homes but Lot 15 in the subdivision sold for $1 million three years ago. This would make the 55ha worth at least $8.8 million in the unlikely event it came on the market. The News understands some shire councillors are unhappy about the lack of information about the land swap and are pursuing more detail from shire officers.

Ensure our Community will have a strong Independent Voice, dedicated Local Representation, and a Fairer Go for All. LOCAL ISSUES I SUPPORT: Yes to the Otama Submarine onshore south of the Hastings Marina and the construction of a Victorian Maritime precinct. Yes to linking walkways, boardwalks and community spaces across Western Port. Yes to better public transport that also enables patrons to commute between both sides of the Peninsula easily and frequently. Yes to local employment, creating opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x153;South not North for jobs.â&#x20AC;? Yes to increasing support to Community Houses, senior citizens groups and Support Centres that provide valuable social connectedness for residents.

Currently I work as a teacher in the education system, specialising in training teenagers and adults in the hospitality and service industry. I believe in the public school system and am aware of how government cuts to VCAL funding have disadvantaged schools that are currently providing alternative learning options for kids who require a more â&#x20AC;&#x153;hands onâ&#x20AC;? approach. Cutting VCAL funding has a direct effect on retention rates at secondary schools across the Electorate and I will work hard to reinstate the millions of dollars that were cut IURP 9&$/ IXQGLQJ IRU RXU VFKRROV 7KH Ă RZ RQ HIIHFWV of this funding cut directly impact the economy with local trade and service industries experiencing skill shortages.

A VOTE FOR ME WILL SECURE:

Community needs have been ignored for too long. My commitment is to assist the Oberon Association to secure investors to bring the submarine ashore. This project has the potential to bring millions of tourism dollars to the area. We need a dedicated local member who will ensure this project reaches completion.

Labor candidate for Nepean Carolyn Gleixner described Mr Dixon's â&#x20AC;&#x153;exaggerated outburstâ&#x20AC;? as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ridiculousâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it hard to believe that Mr Dixon would come out with such a case of desperate scare mongering,â&#x20AC;? Ms Gleixner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a very strange outburst from a Liberal candidate who up until now has been anti-environment and antirenewable energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the same person who supports commercial development and loss of public access on Point Nepean and wrote an article in the press supporting SPA ruining the Rosebud foreshore.â&#x20AC;? She said Labor would continue to provide protections for Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national parks and â&#x20AC;&#x153;environmentally and culturally sensitive areasâ&#x20AC;? such as the Mornington Peninsula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any proposals would have to be considered sensibly and follow due process, planning restrictions and consultation with the community and all stakeholders, and be mindful of our greatest asset, our beautiful peninsula environment,â&#x20AC;? Ms Gleixner said. Greens candidate for Nepean Craig Anthony Thomson said it was highly unlikely wind farms would appear on the peninsula and labelled Mr Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements as â&#x20AC;&#x153;over the topâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly not aware of any proposals for wind farms anywhere on the Mornington Peninsula, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any suitable locations have ever been suggested,â&#x20AC;? Mr Thomson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wind farm industry is pulling out of Victoria because of all the uncertainty and lack of government support and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to see that change any time in the foreseeable future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So why Mr Dixon would start jumping up and down about wind farms is quite ludicrous. I have no idea why he would make this sort of statement. I really just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it.â&#x20AC;?

THE Mornington Peninsula could be opened up to commercial wind farms under a state Labor government, the Coalition has warned. Opposition leader Daniel Andrews announced last week he would remove â&#x20AC;&#x153;restrictive planning controlsâ&#x20AC;? implemented by the Coalition government in order to get Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wind energy industry â&#x20AC;&#x153;back up and runningâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Andrews said planning controls implemented by the Coalition in 2011, which include a ban on wind farms on the Mornington Peninsula, had stopped dozens of wind farm projects, cost thousands of jobs and driven investment interstate. If elected at this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state poll, a Labor government would return the power to approve wind farms to the planning minister, instead of local councils, and reduce the exclusion zone around dwellings from two to one kilometre. Mr Andrews said the Coalition governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;disastrous anti-jobs agendaâ&#x20AC;? had driven the renewable energy industry â&#x20AC;&#x153;into the groundâ&#x20AC;?. However, Nepean MP Martin Dixon warned that under Labor, peninsula communities would no longer have the power to reject wind farms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Labor would ride roughshod over our community ,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dixon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Labor government would strip away local council planning powers for all wind farm towers in the Nepean area and give their CFMEU planning minister absolute power to decide on them.â&#x20AC;? Mr Dixon said the Labor proposal could see 165-metre tall wind towers â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a few hundred metres from homes and bedroom windowsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Labor would remove protections against 165-metre tall wind farm towers on our sensitive Mornington Peninsula, leaving a blight on our landscape,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Breaking the cycle of violence

Creative team: Architect Simon Harvey, construction manager Andrew Roberts, CHVL’s Dennis Clark, Origin Energy’s Bryan Hegarty and CHL’s Chris Shields collecting the award for the Hastings units.

Design awards for Hastings units AN innovative 20-unit development at Hastings has won a special purpose housing project award - for the fourth time. The units - at the corner of Church St and Marine Parade - offer low cost, long-term rental housing to the elderly, intellectually and physically disabled and those on low incomes. Preference is given to tenants with ties to the local area. Community Housing Victoria staff were thrilled with the Housing Industry Association accolade which praised the units’ good design, high quality of construction, and their

functionality. “These awards are a tremendous credit to our design and construction staff and recognise the expertise the team has developed in constructing quality housing that’s affordable,” CHL’s managing director Steve Bevington said. “Their talents have been recognised yet again for an outstanding development - in Hastings this time. “At CHL we are focused on delivering interesting and innovative designs that are quality built. It’s pleasing to be delivering a good product all around, and we know the tenants appreciate it, too.”

The project resulted from a partnership between the Frankston Peninsula Carers Inc, Department of Human Services, Mornington Peninsula Shire and CHVL. Integrated into the site is a group home built by the Department of Human Services and managed by Karingal Konnections for people with a disability. It offers them 24-hour care. To help develop a sense of community, a common area includes raised garden beds, landscaping, seating and an enclosed gazebo with a built-in barbecue. Stephen Taylor

NOVEMBER is being dubbed “Say no to family violence” month and the Hastings Respectful Relationships Group is asking the community to take a stand against this growing issue. Group member Wilma Kneebone says up to one in three women experience family violence and one in four children will witness it in their own homes. “We’ve developed this campaign because there are still so many people who don’t understand the problem,” Ms Kneebone said. “We need to get the town talking to help everyone understand that violence and controlling behavior in relationships is not acceptable.” The campaign is calling on businesses to display posters that explain what family violence is, how common it is, “and that we can all help by speaking up and promoting respectful relationships”. Wendy Gamble, also from the group, said “we’ve got to look to the

future too”. “Kids learn from their parents, but what are we teaching them? If they see someone hitting out in arguments, being controlling and putting someone else down all the time, they’re going to think that’s ok. We’ve got to teach them about respect and equality.” The White Ribbon Day will see volunteers from the Hastings Respectful Relationships Group at the Hastings community market on Thursday 20 November with information about the Australia-wide White Ribbon Day campaign to stop family violence including a free barbecue from midday at Hastings Hall on Tuesday 25 November. Hastings Community House is also inviting the community to get on board and write a support message on an item of clothing showing that family violence will not be tolerated. The messages will be will be strung across a 30-metre clothes line outside the Hastings Hall on the day.

‘Warrior women’ battle port plan Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au

A NEW force has emerged in the battle to protect Western Port from further development and if history is anything to go by, proponents of an expanded Port of Hastings could be facing their most formidable opponent yet. Western Port Warrior Women plans to harness the energy of the region’s women in order to raise awareness of the threat development of the port poses to both the environment and community. “We all know the power of women in rallying support for important issues around the world and this is a cause that really should alarm our community,” Western Port Warrior Women organiser Sue King said. “It’s not just the environment, it’s our children, our families and our towns that will be affected by the port if it goes ahead.” She said the group’s members were “a diverse group of women” from a wide range of backgrounds, with differing political leanings and “attitudes to life”. “We have come together to protect the social and environmental interests of Western Port and stop what will be a social and environmental disaster before it happens,” Ms King said. “We are doing a pre-mortem of something that can never be repaired if it goes ahead.” Members of the group who met at Hastings foreshore on Sunday for a rally against the port proposal, heard

that rather than providing a jobs and economic boon for the region, expansion of the port would rather rip apart Western Port’s “social fabric”. For little economic return, the Western Port community faced a potentially devastating environmental cost, with the loss of bushland, foreshore and precious breeding grounds, in addition to the threat of a shipping accident, Ms King said. “A few people from the big end of town will get all the benefits while the Western Port community loses out. “All the discussion has been about money and jobs – well it’s the most expensive job creation scheme I have ever heard of. “At $12 billion for 4000 jobs, that works out at about $3 million dollars a job. And most of those jobs will no doubt be migrant labour on 457 visas, and only for the construction phase of the project. “There will be very few jobs on the docks themselves as it be fully automated and the wharf will be run by only a few men – and they probably won’t go to people from the peninsula.” Low-income Hastings families would be further marginalised by potentially “massive rises in rents when workers on 457 visas come in to build the port”, Ms King said. “This will force them further and further out of town as the impact of rent prices increases, pushing our young families and single mothers out

The good fight: Western Port Warrior Women Jasmine Wigley, Sue King, Megan Tevaskis and Gale Lea are working to harness the energy of the region’s women in order to raise awareness of the threats posed by the planned expansion of the Port of Hastings.

of their homes and schools, fragmenting our community and further widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots.” Ms King added that the amount of money already provided to investigate the feasibility of the port could have

been better targeted to help lift Hastings “out of the duldrums”. “The travesty for me is that $110 million is a new palliative care hospital with $65 million change. “This area needs good solid investment; the people of Hastings could

have done a lot with the $110 million that Napthine is just wasting on this project – imagine what they could do with $12 billion.” The group can be contacted via www.facebook.com/westernportwarriorwomen

Cr Colomb mayor for second time

Helping hand

Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au BEV Colomb is the new mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire. It is Cr Colomb’s second mayoral term as she was “first among equals” in 2007-08. She replaces Cr Antonella Celi of Seawinds Ward. Cr Graham Pittock, also of Seawinds, was elected deputy mayor. One of three Briars Ward councillors, Cr Colomb is the 19th mayor since the “super” shire was formed from Mornington, Hastings and Flinders shires in late 1994 (three Kennett government-appointed commissioners ran the municipality until councillors were first elected in 1997). The shire has had five women mayors – Judith Graley in 2000-01 (now state Labor MP), Anne Shaw in 2004 and 2008-09, Bev Colomb 2007-08 and 2014-15, Lynne Bowden 2012-13 and Antonella Celi 2013-14. Cr Shaw served a shortened term in 2004 as the state government altered the election cycle. Cr Colomb’s election to the $87,000 job means the shire has had three women mayors in a row, unusual in Victoria. She was elected at the shire’s annual general meeting on Monday 10 November, with Briars Ward colleague Andrew Dixon the only other candidate. Cr Dixon voted for himself and received votes from Crs Anne Shaw and David Garnock. Cr Colomb grew up in Mornington, and was elected to represent the town in November 2005 when she narrowly

defeated sitting councillor John Trantino. Mornington Ward was folded into the larger, three-councillor Briars Ward in early 2012, joining Balcombe Ward (Mt Martha) and Mt Eliza Ward. The new mayor has been a business owner, was executive officer of Mornington Community Contact House, and has recently been teaching governance at Frankston TAFE. In her acceptance speech, Cr Colomb said the council had “an opportunity to look at everything freshly”. This was taken as an oblique reference to the departure last Friday of long-time CEO Michael Kennedy, who has had his contract paid out. Dr Kennedy’s contract expires in February next year. Cr Colomb said “as a team we will be able to rise to the challenges and opportunities the next 12 months bring”.

“I look forward to working with all of you – community leaders, councillors, officers and all levels of government – to provide an environment that allows protection of all that we hold important and also gives us best practise to ensure the health and wellbeing of the peninsula for years to come. “We are preparing our own peninsula planning statement to be endorsed by the state government showing that the peninsula is near Melbourne but, importantly, not part of it. “Having taught volunteers, young adults and many students involved in the development of our community, I am very aware of the needs and aspirations of our diverse population. “One of my main aims as a councillor is to assist and support, where and when needed, anyone wishing to help

others or protect that which we all hold dear. After many years of working in the community sector I am concerned about the lack of employment and education opportunities offered on the peninsula for both older and younger generations. “We have a terrific community on our peninsula. To me our community’s participation is our greatest asset and our commitment will be to work with you all.” Cr Colomb invited residents to contact her to “share information or discuss issues”. “For general enquiries, assistance, appointments and invitations, call Councillor Support on 5950 1428. To contact me, call 5977 0612, mobile 0418 506 638 or email colomb@mornpen.vic.gov.au.”

Westernport Tree Care

STAFF from Esso Long Island Point will lend a hand at the Crib Point Community House on Thursday as part of their annual Day of Caring. They will be busy cleaning, gardening, washing the outside of the building and helping with maintenance. “The Day of Caring is one of many worthwhile programs we support each year to help the local Western Port community,” Long Island Point manager Steve Williams said. The program, in its 12th year, involves 230 ExxonMobil Australia employees assisting 18 community organisations in areas where the company has its main facilities, including Gippsland, Melbourne, Altona, Yarraville, Western Port and Perth. In addition to the Western Port project, employees will volunteer at the South Gippsland Hospital, Sale Elderly Citizens Village, Cancer Council Victoria, SIDS and Kids, Vision Australia, Aboriginal Literacy Foundation and Conservation Volunteers Australia. United Way Australia, a non-profit organisation that promotes business and employee involvement in the community, plays a key role in supporting the day. “The ExxonMobil Day of Caring is our largest single corporate volunteering day,” general manager Penny van der Sluys said. “The ExxonMobil employees get through an amazing amount of work in a day - which is a huge boost for the community groups involved in this fantastic initiative.” Crib Point Community House coordinator Mary Budd: “We are thrilled to have the volunteers again this year and we really appreciate that they are giving up their work day to help our community house.”

BALNARRING schoolboy Kobi Watson earned kudos last week for his talk at Hastings RSL’s Remembrance Day commemorations. The 14-year-old spoke about the war service of his grandfather, Horace Clyde Martyr, of the 8th battalion, AIF, to those assembled at the cenotaph, on the Hastings foreshore. He described Mr Martyr’s recollections of the treacherous Gallipoli landings, which he sourced from the Gallipoli Association in London. His audience included councillors, veterans, school children and residents. Kobi laid a wreath on behalf of Flinders MP Greg Hunt. Others were laid by RSL sub-branch president Keiren Gallagher, Sid Bennett on behalf of Korean War veterans, a representative of the National Services Association and Mornington Peninsula councillors David Garnock and Lyn Bowden, representing peninsula and Western Port residents. “He’s [Kobi] a credit to his age group. If they all follow his example we will be very well served into the future,” Mr Gallagher said. “There was a good crowd for a workday and they showed lots of reverence. Afterwards we all retired to the RSL for refreshments.” Kobi, who attends Dromana Secondary College, will attend the Gallipoli dawn service in April as one of 80 Victorian students invited to the 100th anniversary commemorations. Here is Kobi’s version of his grandfather’s landing:

talk inspires audience including one who got half his face shot off. When we got near the shore, the midshipman in the leading boat waved his hand and our steamer made a half turn leaving us all side on to the beach. Seeing that we were in for a wet landing, I at least had the forethought to put my cigarettes and matches inside my hat. Sure enough the water was up to my chest and we all scrambled up to the beach and crouched behind a small hill. Almost immediately we were ordered to leave our packs and head up to the ridge. ‘Beachy Bill’ was shelling us. Snipers were hitting some of our men and we began to move inland scrambling up and down steep ridges. Then, Sergeant Bob Wallace came up and asked a few of us to go with him and push inland to look for Turks putting up resistance. We had gone some distance and, eventually, reached a hill and could see a village that was Maidos. Bob said, ‘We are right now. The Indian troops are ashore.’ He gave me the binoculars and I could see men coming down the track. ‘They don’t look like Indians to me: I bet they are bloody Turks’. Bob looked worried, and said we must have overshot our objectives. We started to make our way back and a couple of our blokes got hit by snipers so Bob said for me to bring up the rear end to cover, and see that we were not attacked on our way back. Eventually, they got further ahead and I lost sight of them in the gullies and the scrub. Making my way towards the firing line I could see a bloke straggling and covered from head to toe in blood, with a bad head wound. I could see by his colour flash that he was one of ours. ‘Who are you, mate? I asked. He answered, ‘Sergeant Pollock - A company’. I knew him well and said, ‘Come on, I will help you back.’ We made our way along Shrapnel Gully and he said he couldn’t go any further. Meanwhile, the Turks were putting over shells from two directions and a lot of rifle fire. We sat until it

quietened down and I got out my field dressings and bandaged his head. He had been shot under his left ear and out under his right eye and lapsed in and out of consciousness. I got him up in a fireman’s lift as he was a big bloke and I couldn’t carry him in my arms. I struggled off across the plateau towards a trench I could see 150 yards away, which seemed like 150 miles, and just as I got to the trench edge I got hit though the back by a bullet. A couple of blokes dragged us both into the trench. Later, a bloke dressed the wound in my guts and later that day I made it down to the beach just along from where we had landed. I lay there all day and all night and, to make matters worse, it poured rain and we were wet through. On the 26th of April we were taken back to Alexandria.” Kobi described his grandfather as “a brave bloke”. “He was the first decorated soldier at the Gallipoli landings and received the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his gallantry and his fearless efforts at Anzac Cove, which also saw him wounded,” Kobi said. “He was sent to Egypt to recuperate from his bullet wounds. Afterwards he was sent back to his battalion, which now was fighting on the Western Front, at Somme, in France. “After returning to battle, his battalion was pinned down by a German pillbox. My grandfather disengaged the pillbox by lodging a grenade in a ventilation hatch, clearing the way for his battalion. He was acknowledged for his bravery once again by receiving the Croix de Guerre – Two Palms (The French equivalent of the Victorian Cross) for his efforts at Somme. “I feel honoured at being given this opportunity to keep the Anzac spirit alive, and to share and educate my generation on the camaraderie and the horrific sacrifices made by our men and women through the Gallipoli campaign.”

Drum roll: The Royal Australian Navy Band is set to be joined by Mornington Secondary College’s Youth Drum Corp for a benefit concert for the Blue Ribbon Foundation

Blue Ribbon concert goes Navy FOR the first time in the concert’s history, the peninsula branch of the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation has teamed up with the Royal Australian Navy Band for a concert on Sunday 30 November. Also on the bill will be Mornington Secondary College’s Youth Drum Corps. Proceeds will benefit the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation’s peninsula branch, which raises funds for Peninsula Health’s hospitals at Frankston and Rosebud. The Navy band will perform with the school drum corps, and X Factor runnerup Andrew Wishart. The guest compere is Jane Holmes, of radio stations 3AW 693 and Magic 1278. At $20 per ticket, this concert has to be the best value in live entertainment on the Peninsula, organisers say. “We’re thrilled to have the Navy band

performing; they’re extremely talented musicians and are fantastic to watch,” Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation peninsula branch president Darryl Nation said. “There’s a lot of mutual respect between Victoria Police and the Royal Australian Navy. Both share the same goal: keep Australians safe, even if it means putting our own lives at risk,” he said. A raffle drawn on the day has worthwhile prizes, including a $500 voucher for Woolworths, Endota spa treatments and Village gold class tickets. To buy raffle tickets call Rhon on 9775 5978. Blue Ribbon merchandise, including Constable T Bear, will also be available on the day. This concert is always a sell-out.

Bumper harvest beckons By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro

THE fishing in both bays continues to impress, and while it might surprise many, snapper aren't the only species being caught. Whiting are well and truly starting to move now in both Western Port and Port Phillip. However the really big catches aren't always coming from the shallow banks, with the deeper waters up to 14m seeming to be the go. Some catches of ting have gone close to the magic one kilogram mark. As much as snapper and whiting have been the target, angler's bycatch has been equally impressive. For those chasing snapper, the once elusive ling has made quite a few special guest appearances, while those after whiting and snapper have also been snagging a few nice gummy sharks. These have made some very welcome additions to the fisherman's basket. At this time of year, fishing options

Welcome addition: Phil hooked this nice gummy shark while fishing in for whiting in Port Phillip

around the Peninsula are almost endless – it all comes down to "what floats your boat". For those after snapper, both bays are fishing well. In Western Port, try Lysarghts and Rhyll. In Port Phillip, fish in 18.5m during the day and the shallows during the early morning and evening. Everywhere from St Kilda to Mt Martha has produced. For whiting and squid, the reefs and weed beds in both bays have held good numbers of both. While the traditional depths of 2-6 meters have fished well, in Western Port don't be afraid to fish as deep as 14m. Whether it's from a boat, rocks or the piers, you're a good chance of bagging a brace. Until next week, tight lines and calm seas  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire. com.au or call 5975 5479).

Government commits to $3.9m roads upgrade Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A NEW roundabout will be constructed at the intersection of Coolart and Hodgins roads in Tuerong at a cost of more than $3.5 million while the intersection of the Nepean Highway, Main St and Mornington-Tyabb Rd will also be upgraded, the state government announced last week. Mornington MP David Morris said a combined $3.9 million in funding had been allocated for the two “major road safety projects”, while further funding would also be provided to install pedestrian operated signals at the southern end of Main St if the Coalition was re-elected at this month’s poll.

The Coalition government will provide $3.538 million for Tuerong project to address the site’s “significant crash history”, which has included two serious injury crashes and one fatality over a five-year period to the end of 2013. “Most of the crashes that we are seeing at this site are because drivers are having difficulty selecting safe gaps to access Coolart Road,” Mr Morris said. “Due to the high traffic volumes, drivers are more likely to be impatient and are turning in front of oncoming vehicles, and unfortunately this is resulting in crashes. “ Mr Morris said that given intersection’s proximity to the beach, there was a significant increase in traffic, especially during the warmer months.. The state government will also provide $397,000 to

overhaul Mornington’s busiest intersection at the corner of Nepean Highway, Main St and Mornington-Tyabb Rd, where 14 casualty crashes, including two serious injury crashes, had occurred in the five years to December 2013. He said accidents at the intersection were mainly due to right-turning traffic not giving way to oncoming traffic, and drivers running red lights. “Works to improve safety and traffic flow at this intersection will include providing a fully controlled right turn phase outside of the morning and evening peak times,” Mr Morris said. “This will mean drivers turning right onto Nepean Highway during those times will have a dedicated right turn arrow signal showing red and green and won’t have

to look for a break in oncoming traffic anymore.” During the morning and evening peak, the signals will revert back to the current partially controlled system, meaning the red right-turn arrow will drop off to allow drivers to enter the intersection and wait for a break in traffic to turn right onto the highway. Mr Morris visited Main St last Thursday to announce that a re-elected Napthine government would provide an unspecified amount of funding to install “much needed” pedestrian signals at the southern end of the street. He said the stretch of Main St between the Nepean Highway and Cromwell St had become increasingly busy in terms of foot traffic following “substantial” office redevelopment in the area and a rapidly growing population in the adjoining residential streets.

Government offices, as well as the Mornington Community Information and Support Centre, attracted heavy pedestrian traffic, he said, with many of those visiting the area needing to cross from the opposite side of “a very busy road” “It is certainly not unusual to see people stranded half way across, waiting for a gap in the traffic to complete their crossing,” Mr Morris said “My office has received many enquiries about the need for a pedestrian crossing in this section of Main St, and has sought support for a crossing from both VicRoads and the [Road] Minister’s office on a number of occasions in recent years.”

Runners fit to stride through mounting challenge offers the young at heart an active lifestyle in our secure, tranquil and well established lifestyle resort

Enjoy being cared for

CLOSE to 2000 participants traversed the 6.7 kilometre course from Rosebud to Seawinds Gardens last Sunday in the most successful Arthurs Seat Challenge to date. Event ambassador, Commonwealth Games Marathon runner Sarah Klein, fired the starter’s gun as people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels took off on the challenging course to the top of Arthurs Seat. The annual event, sponsored by Fit2Drive, aims to raise awareness of the over-representation of young people in road crashes. The weather for this year’s event was perfect for running or walking up the steep summit, which at its peak has a testing 9.5 degree gradient and 3 kilometre uphill climb. The one saving grace for competitors is the stunning view of over Port Phillip. Once again, there were some impressive results, with Craig Appleby, pictured right, first over the line in a mere 25 minutes and 15

seconds. Appleby glided over the line with a decent gap between himself and second placegetter, Cameron Hall, who is a previous winner of the event. The first woman to the finish line was Rebecca Rosel, pictured bottom centre, who looked strong as she charged up the hill to cross in a time of 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Twins, Elly and Sarah Jackson took second and third place for the women’s overall with times of 30 minutes 30 seconds and 30 minutes 59 seconds respectively. The dynamic duo are still juniors, and as such also took out first and second place in the under 18s female category. Other noteworthy efforts included Liam Hemingway, who was crowned under 18 male champion and Brodie Lynch, who came in second in the under 18s and took the title in the under 15 male category.

Farmer leaves growing legacy DROMANA cattle and sheep farmer Bruce Brockhoff has sold Moorunga Farm, ending 75 years of family connection to the peninsula. Bruce and his father Harold, of the famous biscuit company, turned the once 483-hectare (1200-acre) farm into a showpiece after Harold bought the first section of land for 39 pounds an acre in 1939. Bruce, who is the father of high-profile Olympic snowboarder Belle Brockhoff, embarked on a massive tree planting

operation in the 1980s and won a Landcare award. Just weeks before the family moves to the city, Mr Brockhoff has donated his tree planting equipment to the peninsula’s Landcare network. Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network facilitator Jacqui Salter, pictured left, joined Bruce last Friday at Moorunga Farm to thank the Brockhoff family for their generous gift. Picture: Yanni

Council ‘no’ to restaurant Continued from Page 1

When put to the vote, the proposal gained support from all but Cr Celi. The application was for a 150-seat restaurant, a cellar door, a wine store, art gallery, sculpture park and partial demolition and relocation of the two heritage buildings. Curiously, the 152 car parking spaces proposed exceeded the number of patrons permitted on the land at any one time. They anticipated 360 patrons, not counting those who might arrive on buses. Council officers were strongly supportive of the proposal, describing it as “unique” and “one of those rare occasions where a prohibited land use can be approved”. The overlay provision, that allows otherwise prohibited uses, “may be viewed as a key to ‘opening adoor’ ... where there is an expectation that ‘once through the door’ what will be seen will be truly worthy of having provided the key to open that door,” the report by planning officer Geoff Nicol said. National Trust local chair Judy Walsh did not agree. Nor did veteran Trust and heritage campaigner Peter Holloway. Ms Walsh told councillors: “It would appear on the surface that no conservation works have been attempted on the cottage since the applica-

tion to demolish was denied, approximately six years ago. “Therefore the trust recommends that council consider the relocation and satisfactory restoration of the cottage and outbuilding ... be successfully completed before any other works in this application are permitted to commence.” Mr Holloway, making a personal submission, said in a statement that councillors had to decide “whether to conserve the Green Wedge Zone on the Mornington Peninsula as intended by legislation, or to act on a historical quirk which permits a rarely used exemption in the Heritage Act[to] override the Green Wedge legislation”. Planners said that to overcome the land size problem the applicant was amenable to legal restrictions on the land that would effectively create a 40ha block from four Gandel properties comprising the land parcel, “so that future applications could not be made for another restaurant or function room”. But under questioning, a representative for the Gandels conceded that billionaire Mr John Gandel wished to retain the right to sell parcels of land included the legal agreement, thus almost certainly reducing the legal block to less than 40ha. The application is likely to go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Hot topic: Main Ridge captain Ian Troutbeck talks about the station’s firefighting capabilities with GovernorGeneral Sir Peter Cosgrove. Picture: Yanni

Cosgrove Main man as new CFA station opens IT was a regal day in Main Ridge on Thursday when Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove arrived to open the rebuilt fire station. The first sod of the $789,000 station, at the intersection of Shands and Main Creek roads, was turned last April by Nepean MP Martin Dixon. He was there again last week, alongside Police and Emergency Services minister Kim Wells and Sir Peter, saying the new station would ensure Main Ridge was “better protected”. “Main Ridge station forms part of the Napthine Government’s $125 million commitment to build or upgrade hundreds of CFA stations across the state,” he said. “This program has recently been completed on time and more than $5 million under

budget.” Mr Dixon said the station replaced a building more than 40 years old – just in time for the approaching fire season. “Main Ridge’s 21 brigade members now have a modern base that will meet current and future needs, and our community has a great new resource they can utilise for meetings and other events.” The station has a three-bay motor room for vehicles, car parking spaces, kitchen and rainwater tanks. “The local community have also been an integral part of delivering this new station, contributing $80,000 towards the project, which is a significant achievement and acknowledgement of Main Ridge CFA’s sustained service to our region.”

Western Port News 18 November 2014

OUTGOING Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy has made a significant contribution to the Mornington Peninsula as we all enjoy it today. In 1993, as shire president of the Shire of Hastings, it was an honour to sign the contract that saw Dr Kennedy appointed CEO and start his distinguished career in local government. My council colleagues saw Dr Kennedy, who had previously earned a reputation in the transport and shipping industry as a “change manager”, as the outstanding candidate for the position at a time when local government in Victoria was being challenged to bring about change in the conduct of its business. Michael had hardly settled in to his role as CEO when the Kennett government initiated the restructure of local government across Victoria, reducing the number of municipalities from 210 to 79. Living up to his reputation as a change manager, and well aware of the strong possibility of amalgamation of the three municipalities on the peninsula, he encouraged cooperation between the shires of Mornington, Flinders and Hastings to consider and prepare for the eventuality of such an outcome. Over the ensuing 12 months the councillors, staff and communities of the three shires were consulted, resulting in the production of a document entitled “Vision Peninsula”, which clearly articulated the community’s preferred model by which any amalgamation should be implemented. Michael was already displaying his real passion for the uniqueness of the peninsula and an understanding of the challenge ahead in retaining its character. The amalgamations occurred in December 1994, incumbent councillors and CEO’S were sacked and, sadly, commissioners appointed by the Kennett government failed to embrace the “Vision Peninsula” model. Thankfully, after serving terms as CEO of City of Casey and City of Boroondara, Michael was appointed CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999 and quickly revisited and implemented his model, reopening and staffing the vacant shire offices in Hastings and Mornington, overcoming the sense of loss that had been felt by those communities over the preceding five years, and re-injecting the loss of expendable dollars those shopping centres had incurred while the two shire offices remained vacant. (I hear that the council of today is considering reversing that decision after more than 14 years of benefit to Mornington and Hastings, and trust those communities will vehemently oppose such a backward move.) Many have been quick to criticise the “Peninsula Way” and the “commitment to a sustainable peninsula” (safeguarding and embracing environment, economic and social elements), which have been the guiding principles initiated and implemented over the past 15 years by Dr Kennedy, but my observation is they are the envy of many in municipal government circles and without doubt the foundation stone for the future that we will treasure and enjoy. Michael’s astute negotiating skills and discerning eye on the future, along with the respect he has enjoyed at state and federal levels of government, have contributed significantly to the recently affirmed Statement of Planning Policy for the Mornington Peninsula, retaining the 70 per cent rural and 30 per cent urban split protecting the peninsula from unwanted growth and reserving it as the “playground for Melbourne”. Equally, funding applications for all facets of improved life on the peninsula have been achieved as a direct result of the respect he enjoys and the strong negotiating skills he possesses. Michael has recognised and respected the socio-economic differences that exist across the peninsula from the most affluent to the extremely poor and has guided the council in implementing appropriate, socially adjusted programs to meet those challenges. Respect has been shown to all sectors of our community during his time as CEO and the career opportunities offered to young residents, programs that support our elderly to stay in their homes or live more meaningful lives, equal opportunity in the shire workplace, and programs advancing reconciliation for the indigenous community will stand as testimony to his compassion and understanding of the needs of the community he served.

Michael Kennedy has been a dedicated, tireless and loyal servant of the shire throughout all the 15 years he has held the position of CEO. Brian L Stahl, OAM JP, Hastings

RET should stay WHEN Prime Minister John Howard introduced the Renewal Energy Target (RET) as bipartisan policy in 2001, he could not have imagined the speed with which renewable technologies such as rooftop solar developed. Neither could he have understood this technology would be implemented at far less cost than comparable centralised coal-fired power stations, subsidised as they are today by grants and favourable taxation, and governmentfunded rail and road infrastructure. Now the Abbott government, harassed and controlled by the coal industry, finds itself between a rock and a hard place, thanks to the former Howard government’s farsighted decision. Unlike when Howard was in government, there is now a real point of difference between the two sides of politics. Labor must honour Howard’s bipartisan RET target to remain credible. The question for the community is even simpler. If you like coal, vote Liberal; if you like the sun, vote Labor. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Walk the beach REGARDING the article “Heat on beach renourishment plans as sand washes away” by Chris Brennan (Southern Peninsula News, 4/11/14), comments made by Cr Graham Pittock in the article show an alarming lack of understanding regarding the current coastal erosion pressures now affecting our coastline. Significant sections of our beaches are being eroded, dunes are being scoured by increasing wave action, and stabilising vegetation falling onto the beach. I suggest Cr Pittock talk a good walk along his local beach and have a good look. Kelvin Stingel, Blairgowrie

What has MP done? WHAT has Mornington’s Liberal MP David Morris protected? Has he protected the interest of the Point Nepean National Park developer? Has he protected the people who own land in the Woodland precinct of Mt Eliza? In my opinion, he has “protected” the truth about Woodland from the parliament and the public by overstating the level of support for not subdividing the precinct, and tabling a questionable petition in the parliament. He refused to advise the parliament when evidence of the questionable petition was provided to him. What else has he done for his electorate? He has acted as an MP of a very safe seat with scant regard of the interest of his constituents. He has been complicit in a government that has overseen an unemployment level heading higher than that of Tasmania. I suggest the electorate treat Mr Morris as he has treated the electorate – put him last on election day. Per Carlsen, Mt Eliza

Time for shire change THE long overdue appointment of a new CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire will hopefully lead to a change of focus with the council reinstating the provision of free tip tickets to ratepayers and introducing a free hard waste collection. A great many councils in Victoria have the interests of their ratepayers and residents at the top of their priority list but this does not seem to be the case on the Mornington Peninsula. Abolishing the issuing of 25 per cent of free tip tickets a year with each rate notice was a petty and mean decision. No doubt the public justification was the impact on the council budget, this from a council that is happy to go into debt to build a swimming pool complex in Rosebud and to allocate ratepayer funds to a range of other expenditures that many would question. The majority of ratepayers and residents on the peninsula would benefit from free access to their local tip and a free hard waste collection. While a swimming pool complex at Rosebud might well be desirable to a good many, it would definitely not be the majority of peninsula residents.

I can only hope that the new broom at the head of the council administration will be looking at what is good for the majority and not just a section of the community within the municipality. Robin Cooper, Mt Eliza (former Liberal government minister)

Port myths THE proposed expansion of the Port of Hastings to accommodate the increase in large container ships is based on two myths. The first is that we can move 40-foot long containers on articulated trucks and long, slowmoving freight trains to Melbourne’s transport hub on the other side of the city and interstate without clogging our urban transport system. Even tunnels create immense problems as we can see with the present small but costly eastwest tunnel proposal. The second myth is that Western Port is a deep water port. It is not. It is a shallow, ancient river estuary and the river created a narrow, deep channel that is now used for ship access to Crib Point and Esso at Long Island Point. Over time, sea levels rose but Western Port remained shallow. We will be left with large-scale dredging and the risk of oil spills affecting our marine life and beautiful beaches while at the same time creating traffic chaos because Hastings is on the wrong side of Melbourne for viable, large-scale freight movement. David Gill, Balnarring

Silence on fish THANKS for your story on the state government’s plans to ban commercial fishing in Port Phillip (“Fishermen: nets ban a ‘stunt’”, The News, 11/11/14). More than a week ago I wrote to my local member of parliament, David Morris, and to the Minister for Agriculture and Food Security and Minister for Water, Peter Walsh, requesting information on the science informing this decision but have not heard a peep from either. Joanne Winterbottom, Mornington

Prosperous future? WITH the assured victory of Dan Andrews and his Labor team in the state election, Victorians can look forward to a more prosperous future. We expect to see the incoming Labor government implement well-deserved wage rises across all government agencies, and to see these flow on to the private sector with the assistance of the unions. We don’t accept the employers’ case that wage rises must be related to productivity increase; this is just a ploy for higher profits. We also expect the Labor government to systematically improve working conditions with better penalty rates, higher superannuation and better leave conditions. If this results in budget deficits, these can be dealt with at a later time. Let’s get things going for the workers now. The government should phase out assistance to independent schools; this would save money that can be used for the workers. If public schools

aren’t good enough for people, then let them pay for their private schools. The same applies to hospitals. Many other non-public activities should also be shut down. Stan Hogan, Frankston

Direct Action won’t cut it WILL Australia follow world leaders and their promise of 30 per cent emissions reductions? For 5 per cent by 2020, the biggest contribution by the Abbott government’s Direct Action was to come from forest planting, except “Failed carbon farm company ignored expert’s advice”, (The Age, 25/11/14) was about the Timbercorp and Southern Plantations tree farming failure. Is Mr Abbott still deluded about carbon in soils, even low grade soils, even dry locations, year after year, for ever and ever, Amen? From ABC’s Lateline: “Greg Hunt claims CO2 sequestration at 150 tonnes per hectare every year is ... inconsistent with CSIRO ... carbon actually in range only 0.3 to 2 tonnes per hectare per year. To reach necessary 2020 abatement quantum, this requires area of land up to twothirds of the Australian land mass, or 500 million hectares.” How can he endorse tree projects dodgy enough to cause losses for creditors and investors of as much as $100 million? Actual emission reduction projects don’t offer return on investment in contract period of only 5 years. So, abatement/offsets and efficiency are the go. Most fuss is about carbon in tree plantings; also, separately, carbon in soils, planted by Green Army, originally 300,000 trainees, planting 20 million trees. How does federal government look when even Blind Freddy can see it’s just 67 trees per trainee? The real problem is how do we reduce emissions, urgently? International treaties require growth in emissions to peak by 2020, replaced by zero emissions energy by 2040. Absorption of carbon is 94 per cent into oceans; land and plant matter help only a little. Absorption into oceans is so slow that it’s now desperately urgent to treat the cause, emission reductions, instead of tinkering with symptoms. Glimmer of hope is Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane asked about King Island proposal: “Wind farms are the only solution deliverable, big and fast enough to meet bipartisan and internationally committed target of 5 per cent emission reduction by 2020.” New technology can always help, whenever, but time is now for implementation using current technology. Because of implementation processes, technology will improve. We can’t afford to wait for magic silver bullet solutions. If Direct Action without deadlines, carrot or stick was always hopelessly inept for 5 per cent, surely for 30 per cent it’s time to reinstate carbon tax? Gough Whitlam made us feel proud and confident. Fearmonger Abbott makes us feel ashamed and helpless. Bernie McComb, Cowes

Frankston, Mornington and Rosebud, in partnership with Monash University. As a teaching health service, links with Monash University have contributed to the growth of Peninsula Health’s research program, with more than 550 clinicians and students having participated since 2007. The joint appointment of Dr Virginia Plummer between Monash University and Peninsula Health had further enhanced the linking of research projects between the facilities and clinicians,” Minister Davis said. Peninsula Health chairwoman Nancy Hogan said the relationship would be further enhanced by the recent endorsement by the board of a dedicated research plan. She said the research plan would foster strong links with other research bodies as well as providing strategic direction and scope to the research capabilities of the organisation. The Mornington Peninsula’s ageing population and escalating incidence of chronic disease meant it was vital health services continued to evolve in in line with the needs of the community, she said.

PENINSULA Health affirmed its commitment to enhancing its position at the forefront of cutting edge medical research during a research conference held at Frankston Hospital last week. Health Minister David Davis told the more than 80 medical research experts, clinicians and guests assembled at the hospital for the launch the Celebrating Research conference that medical research was now one Victoria’s most important industries. Mr Davis said recognition of the sometimes unacknowledged work of researchers was crucial to building Melbourne’s expanding global reputation as a research hub and to Peninsula Health’s role as a leading healthcare provider.. “Research is integral to the continuous improvement of the care that the clinicians at Peninsula Health provide to the community,” Mr Davis said. He said Celebrating Research provided an opportunity to highlight the valuable research undertaken by clinicians across the Mornington Peninsula at Peninsula Health’s campuses at

HOUSE AND LAND

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Innovative new design from Red Bluff Homes THE magnificent Homestead range of new homes pays homage to Australia’s colonial past with an impressive facade boosted by wide verandahs and spacious living. Designed specifically for buyers with acreage or a farmlet on which they want to build their dream home, the house has been designed to make the most of rural views. The living areas, including the rumpus room, family room, meals and kitchen areas are all positioned at the front, with rows of tall windows running the entire length of the home designed to capture the countryside. Buyers have a choice of four different facades at no extra cost. The kitchen and

meals areas have long been the heart of country homes and The Homestead is no exception. The spacious kitchen has a huge walk-in pantry, and is centrally located to the open-plan meals and family areas. The casual family living area has been cleverly zoned away from the parents’ retreat, allowing busy parents a quiet spot to retire to at the end of the day. Complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, the master bedroom is tucked away at the opposite end of the home from bedrooms two and three. The flexibility of the design means the separate formal dining room can be incorporated into the master bedroom creating an even

expect extraordinary

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Lord Roberts dead at 83, election next week Compiled by Melissa Hodge WE regret to state that Miss Boulter, sister of Rosa Alba, the brilliant soprano, is at present an inmate of Dr Maxwell’s Private Hospital. We trust that she will have a speedy recovery. *** IT is with pleasure we note that Mr Walter Jess, the well known tenor of the Conly Company, is the proud father of a son and heir. *** EVERYBODY is discussing Rosa Alba, take the opportunity of hearing her yourself at the Frankston Choral Society’s complimentary concert. This will indeed be a treat, be sure you don’t miss it. *** MRS Ritnuer wishes it known that she has had her premises in Payne Street thoroughly renovated and has always on hand good stocks of fresh fruit and vegetables. She has also a comfortable room where visitors can enjoy a cup of tea, ice cream, or confectionery. *** MR Broadbent notifies by advertisement that he has commenced business in Skye Road, Frankston, as a plumber and gas fitter, and is prepared to take orders for all kinds of plumbing. *** THE State Elections Polling Day is fixed for next Thursday, when the booths in the various electorates will be open from 8 am till 7 p.m. Mr A. Downward will address the electors of Frankston on Tuesday evening

next, and Cr Murphy will also address them on Wednesday evening. *** THE honorees. (Dr S. Plowman and Mr O. P. Watson) of the presentation to the members of the Second Expeditionary Forces, will be glad to receive any donations from those interested. As an early departure of the troops is apparent, it will be necessary for these donations to be sent in immediately so as to arrange a public presentation. *** MISS Rosa Alba the brilliant new soprano, has a beautiful light voice of bright tone and appealing quality. Frankston and surrounding district will have the opportunity of hearing this talented artist at the Frankston Choral Society’s complimentary concert on December 5th at the Mechanics Hall, Frankston. *** DEEP regret has been caused throughout the Commonwealth by the news that Field–Marshall Lord Roberts VC has died as a result of a chill while on a visit to France. The great solider was in his 83rd year. The Federal Government on Sunday received the following cablegram from the high commissioner. “Lord Kitchner received this (Saturday) evening a telegram from Sir John French.”I regret to inform you that Lord Roberts died this evening. Lord Roberts was on a trip to France to greet the Indian troops. He contracted a chill on Thursday, and succumbed to an attack of pneumonia.

*** THE children of my district are fine, loyal, generous young Britishers, so says Mr Lewis Thomas BA, Inspector of the Warnambool district. They are doing all in their power to continue to help the noblest of causes. One school of ten pupils sent in £10; another of 40 pupils forwarded £21 to swell the funds of the Education Department Patriotic League. This work is going on all over the State: no wonder the Inspectors are proud of the work of children, parents, and teachers. The Warnambool district has accumulated £230, and the work is still going on. *** THE youngsters of the State are taking the war very seriously. At the Queenscliff State School six pupils won prizes at the local Flower Show. The first intimation that Mr Hughes, their head teacher, had of their praiseworthy intention, was their handing in the whole of their prize money to their School Self-denial Patriotic Fund. Well done young loyalists. *** WE desire to call the attention of your readers to an advertisement in another column, concerning the Frankston Patriotic and Presentation Fund. It will be seen that a meeting of contributors will be held at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday the 23rd to consider the disposal of the funds now in hand and to make arrangements for the entertainment and presentation to members of the second Expeditionary Force who may have been drawn from Frankston and immediately

surrounding district. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance. *** A TEAM of six tennis players from Frankston visited Dandenong last Saturday week. Dandenong was again victorious, winning by 14 games. A most enjoyable time was spent by all. A match is to take place today, on the Frankston courts, against Somerville. The team will consist of the following members:- Mrs Shannon, Mrs H. Robertson, Misses Gregory and Young, Messrs Robertson, Utber, Watson, and Rev Kitchen. *** THE Frankston Methodist Christian Endeavour society and choir arranged a very pleasant surprise to Mr and Mrs Charles Ellis, who recently returned to Frankston, after their honeymoon. The ordinary C. E. meeting was altered to one of a social character and the members, who individually possess good voices made the evening pass too quickly with songs and recitations. Mr Ellis has been a most active and useful member of both bodies, and Mrs Ellis has already shown her sympathy and willingness to take an active part. Before the evening was finished the Rev R Jackson presented Mr and Mrs Ellis with a handsome crystal and silver salad bowl, and expressed very best wishes for their future happiness. *** HOW SOLDIER’S WIVES LIVE “Everylady’s Journal,” the magazine

par excellence of Australia and New Zealand, is catering magnificently for its readers in these times of war. The November issue, just in hand, is the third of its Special War Number, and establishes it’s claim to be called the best to date. The special war material in Everylady’s Journal begins with a little cluster of interviews of returned Australian girls and articles from London correspondent which conveys a wonderfully vivid impression of the state of excitement into which England was thrown by the outbreak of war. Then a woman writer with a clear grasp of affairs describes the fighting of the past month, and shows what the Allies have gained. Another tells of ‘life in Berlin during peace time, and quotes a wonderfully stirring poem called “The Kaiser Comes.” Of great local interest are the views of a number of notable people on how the wives of soldiers can maintain their husband’s income while they are away at the war. The Lady Mayoress advocates culture, the Chief Secretary suggests fishing, and so on. Lady Helen Munro-Ferguson, head of the Red Cross Society, explains in an interview, what goods are still required; and W. A. Somerset supplies a descriptive sketch of the Australian troops marching through the streets, illustrated with a couple of remarkable photographs, one of which is perhaps the best marching picture that has appeared. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 November, 1914.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

My experiences deconstructing degustation By Stuart McCullough WHEN it comes to the culinary arts, I can put up with just about anything. I can tolerate ‘jus’ even though my heart longs to leap out through my chest and scream ‘pretentious!’. I can even put up with a wanton use of the term ‘reduction’. Heavens above, I can even turn a blind eye to things that have been ‘caramelized’ beyond recognition. When it comes to food, I can endure all sorts of chicanery. Anything, that is, except a dish that has been ‘deconstructed’. Let’s start with the term itself. Put simply, if something is ‘deconstructed’, it is either yet to be constructed or, worse still, it was previously constructed but some bludger has decided to pull it apart for no reason other than to be a bit of a twerp. The former smacks of laziness. The latter screams of the nastiest kind of sabotage imaginable. Why ruin a perfectly good meal by disassembling and making it appear as though it fell onto the plate from a great height? Deconstructed food is all about giving you much loved classic meals in a form that makes them totally unrecognizable. It’s the Renee Zellweger principle, except it’s served either with chips or salad. Let me say right here that I’m absolutely against it. I realize that the principle of deconstruction is rooted in reinvention, whereby overly familiar things are re-presented for a modern age. But you can go too far. It’s like that old saying: don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater. Granted, it’s an odd turn of phrase. Truly, who would ever empty a bath

PAGE 48

and lose a child? You’d have to either be in an incredible rush or wholly indifferent. In fact, when I think about it, it’s not so much a proverb as it is an act of criminal negligence. At least it doesn’t involve animal cruelty. It’s quite shocking when you think of how many of our key proverbs involve brutality to animals in some form, espe-

Western Port News 18 November 2014

cially felines. ‘There’s more than one way to skin a cat’, ‘not enough room to swing a cat’, ‘dead cat bounce’ and ‘busier than a three legged cat in a dry sandbox’ to name but a few. As for not throwing out the baby with the bathwater, despite it’s apparent endorsement of infant cruelty, the proverb is neither about babies nor bathwater. It’s

about remembering what made something special in the first place. Let me be clear. When I order a meal, I like to be able to recognize it when it turns up. It’s no good if your plate of food has to be explained to you by the waiter. In fact, when I cook something from a recipe, one of my key performance indicators is whether it looks anything like the picture in the book. This is the first sign that I am (hopefully) on the right track. But deconstructed meals take the exact opposite approach. If a deconstructed meal bears any resemblance to the original meal, it is regarded as a colossal failure. It’s the abstract expressionism of cooking. It’s food in disguise. When I order a lasagne, I don’t want a dish that looks as though it’s entered the culinary equivalent of the witness protection program. I want something I know and love. In short, I want exactly what I asked for. We’d had a lovely dinner when I decided to order dessert. It’s an unusual step for me. Usually, I go overboard on the bread and the idea of pudding is dismissed as gluttony. But having enjoyed my meal and not wanting the evening to end, I decided I’d ask for the menu. Looking through the list, all the favourites were there – crème brulee, chocolate mousse, tiramisu. All of them fine in their own way, but not the kind of showstopper I had in mind. I wasn’t just looking for the end of a meal. I was looking for an encore. A final bow that would have me leaving the restaurant, raving about the whole night. I wanted a curtain call that would knock me clear off my feet.

Then I saw it – Pavlova. Pavlova is pretty much Australia’s national dessert. Except if you’re from New Zealand. Whilst there’s some room for improvisation, particularly in terms of which fruit you’re going to put on top (strawberries versus kiwi fruit versus mixed berries), all other aspects of the art form are pretty much settled. Or so I’d thought. Meringue, a crispy shell and maybe some cream – these are the heart and soul of any pav worth it’s salt (there’s no actual salt in the recipe, although there is vinegar). They’re what I expected. And, truth be told, I got them all. Just not in one piece. It was as though my dessert had been run over by a large vehicle. The meringue sat in the corner as if it’d been given detention. The fruit was ganged together, hiding from the meringue. The cream had the whole dessert surrounded, smeared around the edge of the plate. But of all the indignities, it was the crust that suffered most of all. It appeared as a chewy tube, resting on the meringue like a fallen girder. I was outraged. If I want to buy something I have to assemble myself, I’ll go to IKEA. I’m all for reinvention, but you shouldn’t destroy the classics. I don’t want the constituent parts of my meal looking as if they’ve just had a falling out and aren’t presently speaking to each other. When I asked for waiter for the instructions, he took my little fork, replacing it with an Allen key and a diagram. Suddenly, I’d lost my appetite. I’m used to BYO meals, but DYI is simply too much. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

KNOWLEDGE FEST AT PHILLIP ISLAND’S SMALL FARM + LIFESTYLE EXPO THIS weekend’s (Nov 22/23) Small Farm + Lifestyle Expo at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit promises to be a knowledge fest on all things rural! The inaugural expo, to be held Saturday and Sunday, November 22 and 23, will feature over 100 exhibitions and speakers from Landcare, the Bass Coast Shire, the farming community and Phillip Island Nature Park Reserve. Landcare will speak both days on rural issues like soil salinity, native vegetation, control of vermin and sustainable farming practices; while Bass Coast Shire will share news on planning and development, their vision for the area, growth initiatives and tourism. The wildlife rangers from the Phillip Island Nature Park will address expo-goers on the interaction between farming communities and the reserves, and farming and wildlife; while Phillip Island farmer, Ian McFee, will speak on managing a small farm efficiently. “We really want to ensure our visitors walk away well-armed and aware of the resources available in the local community,” said circuit managing director, Fergus Cameron, whose family has farmed the region for three generations. “There’s been a lot of changes in agricultural practices in the last decade and this Expo is designed

to bring the experts together so that over the two days our visitors get answers to their questions on rural life.” All presentations will be held in the Motorsport Expo Building surrounded by over 100 Expo exhibitors many discussing animals to run on small properties like sheep, alpacas and poultry.

Many real life farmers feature in the speaker lineup, happy to tell with good humour and candidness how they made their dream of a rural lifestyle a reality, and the ups and downs of the journey. Grantville’s Phil Westwood from FreeRanger Eggs, will speak on successful poultry farming on

small landholdings; while Anna Kilborn from ECube, who grazes beef and sheep in the Strzelecki Ranges, runs a business advising clients on environmental practices and has plenty of advice to share. “I have many funny stories about the rural lifestyle experience. I’m happy to tell you of my adventure, warts and all, and the lessons I’ve learnt along the way,” Anna said. Exhibitors represent a wide range of agriculture. The Warragul Poultry Club stand will provide information on the various breeds of poultry, feeding and equipment for chooks, chook health, care of chooks and chickens and the role of chooks in sustainable agriculture. “We’ll also have a petting zoo for the children,” says Kevin Collins from Warragul Poultry Club who will have a display of eight different chooks that can be patted and petted. “We’ll have Daisy, our little white Australian Langshan, a hen and her baby chicks, a duck and her little ducklings and two of the only four Australian pure breeds of poultry.” Chooktred and Suburban Chooks will also be talking about all things chooky, while Grand Ridge Sheep Stud will provide information on sheep and Pakenham Produce has the latest on

feed for animals. There will also be exhibitions on the latest farm machinery, implements, power equipment and cutting edge farm technology. There will be a strong focus on organic and sustainable living products, with everything from worm farms to solar lights being featured. On the lifestyle side, there will be exhibitors covering a range of leisure pursuits from water sports, and camping, to four wheel driving, health and tourism. The Small Farm Expo will be housed in the 2000 square metre pavilion usually used for motorsport expos with external sites featuring agricultural animal displays. A dedicated rough terrain area will allow for quad bikes, gators, Ag bikes to be put through their paces and a working farm area will showcase the latest farm machinery, tractors, slashers and ride-on mowers. Keen to master rural life? Take some advice from locals happy to share their experience at the Small Farm & Lifestyle Expo at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit, Saturday and Sunday November 22 and 23 from 9am- 5pm. Adults $10 entry at gate; and children 17 and under, and dogs - on a leash - admitted free. For further information go to www.phillipislandcircuit.com.au

ENTERTAINMENT

Performance THE Australian rock scene of the 70s was at its best, courtesy of Marshall Amplification and bands like the Skyhooks, Sports, Company Caine, Mighty Kong, The Toads and Murtceps. For the best part of the seventies Australia created ever more sophisticated popular rock bands that had re-drawn the boundaries of acceptability and given the youth of Australia its own music, so no JOK, Johnny Chester or Delltones; but JOK did make the stage at Sunbury to a surprisingly joyous crowd, about the time l was looking for my clothes l had left on the river bank. To celebrate the 70s, Warner Music and Festival Records have released a new double CD set When the Sun Sets over Carlton: Melbourne’s Countercultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70’s. A deluxe 2CD set documents the arts and politics-infused rock scene that gave Melbourne and Australia such multifaceted cultural icons as Paul Kelly, Joe Camilleri, Stephen Cummings, Jane Clifton, Peter Lillie, Ross Wilson, Ross Hannaford, Greg Macainsh, Red Symons and Shirley Strachan. Taking its title from the famous song by the scene’s best known band Skyhooks, the album traces the counter cultural scene’s development from its beginnings in venues like the TF Much Ballroom and Carlton’s La Mama and Pram Factory theatres through Skyhooks breakout success to the thriving pub scene found in legendary venues like Martini’s and the Tiger Lounge. It presents also a glimpse of the birth of Melbourne’s hugely influential 3RRR-FM, which was born out of this scene. It features rare and unreleased recordings from Paul Kelly, Skyhooks, Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons, The Sports & Daddy Cool, as well as first recordings of future members of The Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus, Icehouse & Crowded House. The 44-track collection includes Daddy Cool covering Skyhooks in ’74, an unreleased Skyhooks demo featuring original singer Steve Hill, two unreleased studio recordings by Paul Kelly’s first band The High Rise Bombers and two little-known tracks from the selfreleased 1979 EP by his next band The

Dots, an unreleased early Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons demo from ’76, a preSports demo by Stephen Cummings with Dave Flett, the first track ever released by Wayne Burt’s pre-Falcons Band (with Pat Wilson) Rock Granite, an unreleased Bleeding Hearts demo produced by Greg Macainsh and rare material from the Pure Shit soundtrack. It also features a mix of classic and lesser known other material from the likes of The Sports, Stiletto (featuring Jane Clifton), The Bleeding Hearts, The Pelaco Bros (featuring Stephen Cummings, Peter Lillie, Johnny Topper and Joe Camilleri), Eric Gradman Man & Machine, early Mondo Rock, Company Caine, Spare Change (featuring John Dowler), Parachute, Mark Gillespie, The Millionaires, The Indelible Murtceps (alter-ego of the legendary Spectrum), Peter Lillie & The Leisuremasters and more. The collection comes in a slipcase and with an illustrated 52-page booklet fea-

turing 15,000 words from musicians including Paul Kelly, Jane Clifton, Johnny Topper as well as esteemed rock writer Jen Jewel Brown. The album’s eyepopping logo/title design was drawn by legendary ‘70s Australian cartoonist and cover/poster artist Ian McCausland. To coincide with release, Festival will also be releasing Expanded Editions of the classic albums by two of Melbourne and indeed Australia’s most-loved bands of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s period; the first two albums by The Sports (Reckless & Don’t Throw Stones from 78 & 79) and Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons’ breakthrough album from (Screaming Targets from 79) . All three albums, which were originally released on Mushroom and have been long out of print on CD, have been remastered from original tapes. Songs like Hit and Run, Shape I’m In, Don’t Throw Stones, When You Walk in the Room, Who Listens to the Radio and more. When the Sun Sets Over Carlton:

Melbourne’s Counter cultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70s’ now available at all stores. *** MARK Walberg will star in the movie, Six Billion Dollar Man. The film is based on the 1970s television series ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’, and will see the actor reunite with director Peter Berg (Lone Survivor). The TV series starred Lee Majors as Steve Austin, a former astronaut outfitted with bionic implants. A popular science fiction series which later had a love interest with the series The Bionic Woman. The series was cancelled in 1978. *** ROBERT Plant has turned down millions of dollars from Sir Richard Branson to reunite Lez Zeppelin. Sir Richard offered the deal to play 35 dates in three cities, London, Berlin and New Jersey. Branson also offered to let the band use one of his jets and rename it ‘The Starship’. Jimmy page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham (son of John Bonham) agreed to the tour but Plant said no. *** GOLDEN Guitar winner, singer/songwriter, historian, author, TV presenter and school teacher, Ted Egan OAM will launch his new book The Anzacs: 100 Years On in Story and Song at the Frankston RSL on Thursday November 27, 2-4pm. Egan will also perform and copies of the book with CD of 20 songs will be on sale. Egan began writing songs about life in the Northern Territory in the 1960s and made his first recordings in 1969. He has produced over twenty albums and appeared on a regular basis at folk and country music festivals. He has several degrees in literature and history and is a member of the first National Reconciliation Council. For more details email books@wilddingopress.com.au *** SHANE Nicholson’s prolific musical career began with rock band Pretty Violet Stain in the late ‘90’s. After two EP’s and the album Parachutes & Gravity, Shane began a solo project with 2003’s its A Movie, later voted by USA Today as one of the Top 10 Pop Albums of 2004. This

tion is above board are fully paid up members of the “A fool and his money are soon parted” society. Locally we received a letter from Minister for Education Martin Dixon, inculcate, none the wiser. Martin sent a second glossy, historical as an example of how a political party can twist the truth. We await the result, knowing full well every front page from that newspaper will feature disaster for Labor voters. Either way I expect nothing for the Mornington Peninsula with an unbeatable majority. Be nice to know Danny Andrew’s thinking on the 99 year lease at Point Nepean, or public housing at Fishermans Bend? *** I have nothing against Denis; if he gets in good luck to him, although I would love to see the back of Matthew Guy. In terms of danger to our way of life I rate Denis as a daddy long legs against the redback Minister for Immigation and border protection, and of course the dastardly Sydney funnel web. *** Best to leave crime statistics to the police, likewise paramedic and CFA response times and the results of the investigation into sexual exploitation. Let us know after the election apparently. Some things are held back to “after” while others, as with the East West Link to “before”. There were 10,670 bashings, robberies, sex at-

tacks and deaths in the CBD during the past five years, but “too much information”, unless this included Muslims. In the meantime I’m listening to Deano Martini singing “You’re nobody till somebody loves you”. *** I need Deano at times, particularly when females sprout their advices on the wireless “Everybody needs 8 hours sleep, eat your greens, exercises”. Always females, no idea why? I recall Phillip Adams talking of a chap who lived on canned food for years. Then there was Virgil G Perkins, author of international best-seller Enjoying Jogging who collapsed and died whilst jogging aged 26, leaving behind a wife, Beverley, their daughter, Alexis, and seven other children by previous marriages. *** I wrote to the great Gough Whitlam in the 70‘s asking why he supported Indonesia’s takeover of East Timor. Days later Gough telephoned, carefully explaining his reasoning. We agreed to disagree but quite a gentleman. We who lived through those years were so very lucky. Gough stood head and shoulders (literally and spiritually) above everyone. He was our star, our inspiration, our hope, by a mile. “Optimism, enthusiasm and confidence against fear, prejudice and conformity”. At Gough’s memorial service Graham Freuden-

berg said “never more than now”. Spot on Graham. *** Jeffrey Kennett, always remembered with the arrival of our electricity bills, now holds a position of some respect within our community. Jeffrey has kindly taken it upon himself to delve into the reasons leading to our choice at the forthcoming state election sighting performance, personality and policies as the ingredients to watch out for. It’s “London to a brick on” his bottom line will be in favour of dashing Denis Napthine. Stop Press: A week later Jeffrey came out in favour of Dashing Denis. Coincidentally Denis has promised more schools. That’s funny, seeing as our man Jeffrey closed so many in his time. *** A joint state and federal police task force to investigate union corruption compliments of Tony and Denis called on the day before the political election cut off period. Danny welcomes this investigation, again lying low. Why not call it as it so obviously is Danny? A set-up! Have a go ya mug! One wonders what our police forces were doing prior to Tony’s call to arms? The disturbing aspect is that it shows the degree to which our politicians think of us. *** The Australian Study of Health and

was followed in 2006 by Faith and Science. Both albums resulted in extensive touring in Australia and USA. In 2008, Shane and Kasey Chambers released Rattlin’ Bones. The album debuted at No.1, achieved platinum sales, was awarded Best Country Album at the ARIA Awards. The ARIA Award-nominated Familiar Ghosts followed, debuting at No.6 on the albums chart. Shortly thereafter moving into production, Shane worked across albums for Catherine Britt, Beccy Cole, Angie Hart, Alex Lloyd and many more. Shane’s 4th solo album Bad Machines debuted at No.3 on the ARIA Country Charts, scored 6 Golden Guitar nominations (winning Song of the Year), a Best Country Album ARIA nomination, and the APRA Country Work of the Year award. Shane and Kasey’s second collaborative effort, Wreck & Ruin, debuted at No.6 in October 2012, scored 5 CMAA nominations (winning Best Group/Duo) and took them to the Grand Ole Opry. In December 2013, it won the ARIA Award for Best Country Album. Shane Nicholson has now signed to Lost Highway Records (Universal Music) as a Staff Producer and artist and will release a new album Pitch, Roll & Yaw: Live and Solo this week. Lost Highway has signed and been instrumental in the careers of some of the biggest roots and country artists in the world, including Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams, the Jayhawks, Whiskeytown, Lyle Lovett, Shelby Lynne, the hugely successful soundtrack of Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, Willie Nelson, the late Johnny Cash and many others. www.shanenicholson.com facebook. com/ShaneNicholsonMusic twitter.com/shanenicholson

A Grain of Salt UNBIASED ELECTION EDITION: I read my favourite newspaper (Herald-Sun) every morning. I skip Andrew Bolt obviously. I might be stupid but I’m not that stupid. As always to the double page spread “YOUR SAY”. I ponder for hours at Bob’s Cafe (free newspaper), forever wondrous of the intellectual wit of those letter writers providing the majority thoughts of our nation. As Alan Marshall wrote in This is the Grass “I have sometimes thought that if the people with the crippled minds had to have the visible supports of those with crippled legs the streets of Melbourne would be loud with the tapping of crutches”. *** The polls indicate Andrews but they did the same with Brumby last time. What with Teddy Baillieu, Geoff Shaw and Denis the menace capturing the headlines young Danny Andrews has been able to keep his head down, occasionally being allowed to bob up with world shattering ideas like school kids meals, Grand Final holiday and number plates. Factually, economically, the Libs arrived 4 years ago in good health but we have gone slightly downhill since. Personally I see health services and obviously basic living costs as the big two. We are being treated like bunnies in matters of electricity, gas and water, and those who believe superannua-

By Cliff Ellen Reproduction’s study of 20,000 people disclosed on average men have sex with 18 women in a lifetime. Exciting news. I thought I was past it, but apparently there’s another 17 beautiful females out there waiting for me. Unless they happen to be Green voters? Sometimes it’s appropriate (in public) to be loose with the truth. *** COMEDY: Senator the Hon George Brandis QC is Minister for the Arts? Funnier: Direct Action Plan? Hilarious: Victoria’s anti-corruption watchdog... Drama is the opposition of two sides that are right, or else conflict doesn’t amount to anything...I adored Jane’s weather reports on ABC News...I plonked heavily on 4, 13 & 22 in the Melbourne Cup, bringing to 58 the number of losing bets since 1956; Evening Peal...eHarmony.com. au might be the go for me; it’s still Spring after all...The mushroom syndrome applies-keep them in the dark and feed them fertiliser...It’s the Government who needs watching, not the people, aided and abetted by a morning newspaper....hooroo...cliffie9@ bigpond.com

Baxter sitting pretty at the top PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER is sitting pretty at the top of the MPCA Provincial cricket ladder after smashing Rye outright on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve. Heading into day two of the clash, Baxter was already in a commanding position after bowling out the Demons for just 117 in the first innings. Baxter then made a quick fire 7/164 before having a crack at Rye again late on the first day. Resuming at 1/4, Rye didn’t play any better in their second innings, bowled out for just 92. Skipper Tom Baron top scored with an unbeaten 33.

After picking up five wickets in the first innings, Leigh Paterson was the destroyer again in the second dig, snaring another five scalps. At one stage Rye was 5/17. The visitors needed just 40-odd runs in the second inning to pick up the outright victory. They made the required runs with just three wickets down. Baxter is now two points clear of Long Island, who sit in second place after disposing of Pines. After setting the Piners 253 for victory, Scott Phillips brought his A-game to the table and tore through the opposition, picking up 4/29. Greg Lamb and Chris Hocking also took two wickets each, eventually

rolling the home side for just 137. Jarred Coad was the sole contributor for the Piners, scoring a third of the total team’s runs with 56. Sorrento is in third place on the ladder after humiliating Langwarrin. The Sorras were restricted to a modest total of 210 when they batted on day one of the match, however, it was always going to be enough against the brittle Langwarrin batting line-up. For the second time in as many matches, Langwarrin’s batsmen rolled over, dismissed for just 114. Andy Johnson top scored with 40 and Matt Prosser hit 24, however, the day belonged to the Sorrento bowlers. AJ King is in scintillating form this

season and he was the destroyer on Saturday, taking 4/23. His brother CJ was just as damaging with 3/43 while Anthony Blackwell chipped in with 2/17. Pensinsula Old Boys round off the top four after they eased to victory against Crib Point. The Old Boys were good with the bat last week making 8/262. It proved to be almost 150 runs too many for the Magpies, who were skittled for just 132. Mt Eliza got its season back on track, picking up its first points of the season after cruising to victory against Heatherhill. Setting the Hills 259 for victory, the Mounties already had the opposition

on the ropes when they resumed at 1/9. The Hills would add just a further 98 runs, bowled out for 117. Lyle House took 6/39. Mt Eliza obviously went for the outright win but Heatherhill dug deep and at the close of play were 3/85. Mornington also went for the outright victory after bowling Moorooduc out for just 69 in their first innings. The Dogs made 158 on the opening day of the match and had the Ducs 2/25 overnight. In the second innings, Moorooduc ended on 6/78.

Hillmen earn a tough win DISTRICT By IT Gully RED HILL remains six points clear at the top of the MPCA District cricket ladder after holding off a persistent Carrum on Saturday. The Hillmen set the Lions a whopping 291 for victory after skipper Simon Dart smacked 180 in the opening day of the match. It always looked like too many runs for the Lions to chase down but they gave it a red hot crack, eventually bowled out for 250 with eight overs to spare. A number of Carrum batsmen got great starts but just couldn’t push on and get the three figures, which was needed from at least one of their batsmen. Dean Polson top scored for the Lions with 61, while Dylan Steed (47), Josh Dent (32), Dale O’Neil (32) and Liam Dobson (25) all got very good starts. Andrew Mock was the pick of the bowlers for the Hillmen with 3/26 from eight overs, while Lincoln Toy and Brent Martin each claimed two wickets. Mt Martha is in second place on the ladder after making light work of Delacombe Park. The Reds are in some great form this season and it’s the younger players who are bringing the good form to the table. On Saturday, the Reds were defending 227, a tall order considering the talent of the Parkers’ batting line up. However, other than an 83 from skipper Chris Brittain, the visitors were ordinary at best with the bat. Despite the loss, Delacombe is still equal fourth on points, however, they are 18 points behind Mt Martha. Seaford is outright third on 30 points after getting the job done against Main Ridge. Main Ridge was always on the back foot after being bowled out for just 138 on the first day of the match. Seaford was resuming at 2/27 but 47 runs from Damien Lawrence assured the visitors of a victory. Scott Millar was superb with the ball for the Ridge with 7/78. Seaford was eventually bowled out for 193.

PAGE 56

Main Ridge had another hit and fared much better in their second innings, scoring 2/262, Michael Holmes top scoring with 79. Somerville scraped over the line against Flinders, getting home in a thriller by just three runs. Somerville was defending 191 and had Flinders resuming at 3/49. That quickly became 5/87. However, Tommy Clements (34), Shane Beggs (40) and Andrew Power (30) all got among the runs, giving Flinders plenty of hope. At one stage, Flinders was looking like it was in the box seat at 6/170. However, the Sharks lost two quick wickets with the score on 171 and 173, before again looking in command at 8/188, just four runs shy of winning. However, they lost 2/0 to be bowled out for 188. Aaron Kaddatz was superb with 4/53 for the Eagles, picking up the tail that was causing all the damage. Matt Eager was also fantastic, picking up the key wickets of Tom Clements, Beggs and Power. Hastings has clawed its way off the bottom of the ladder after a strong victory against Boneo. The Blues went into the second day of its match in a commanding position after setting the opposition 234 for victory. Boneo fell well short, bowled out for 143. The skipper Timmy Birch led from the front, snaring 3/18, while Mitchell Floyd picked-up 3/26 to give him eight wickets for the season and Chris Sawosz helped himself to 2/13 from nine overs. Stewart Mathieson top scored for the Pandas with 43, batting at nine. Seaford Tigers were touched-up by Baden Powell. The Braves only made 180 in 80 overs on week one of the match, however, bowled out the home side for just 147 on the second day. Corey Hand was once again a shining light for the Tigers with a top score of 44. The win gave the Braves their first points for the season.

Frogs and Buds are well clear of the pack SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK and Rosebud are 12 points clear at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after recording comfortable victories on Saturday. Tootgarook was defending 249 against the Yabbies and had the visitors 1/23 overnight. Tyabb added only a further 117 runs to the total before being bowled out for just 140. After making 39 with the bat on the first day of the match, Matt Whelan had a day out with the ball on the

second day, picking up a game-high 7/42. Rosebud also made light work of their opposition, snaring 15 wickets against Skye. The Buds were defending 8/232 after batting well on the first week of the match. Geoff Glaum was the unlikely star with the ball for the Buds with 4/34 from nine overs while Patrick Nagel helped himself to 3/16 off 11 overs. Adam Bryant snared 2/16 from 13 overs, giving him 14 wickets for the season. Skye skipper and keeper Rob Gruer

top scored for his side with 26. The Buds went for the outright, however, could only manage five second innings wickets. Jason Nagel was the pick of the bowlers with 3/19. A magnificent 116 from Gavin Moore ensured Pearcedale picked up the 12 points against Dromana. The Hoppers made 180 in their time at the crease and had Pearcedale in a little bit of strife at 2/57 overnight. However, Moore, who was resuming on 40, controlled the match on the second day and working his way to three figures while wickets fell around him. Pearcedale was 5/87 at one stage and

then fell to 7/143. When Moore went, the Dales were still 14 runs away from victory. A fighting 30 from keeper Chris Whiteley, who was batting at nine, and 22 from number 11 Calvin Bypost saw the home side finish on 221, a 41 run victory in the end. Jeff Bluhm was the best of the Hoppers’ bowlers with 5/58. Balnarring was always going to defend its massive 6/335 against Frankston YCW, however, the Stonecats didn’t roll over. Jack Greenwood is a star in the making and he was superb on

Saturday with 76, while Matty Lane was unbeaten on 45 after hitting three fours and a six. Nathan Kleinig was the pick of the bowlers for the Saints, bowling 20 overs and finishing with 6/57. In the final match, Carrum Downs and Ballam Park played out a draw. The Knights set the Cougars 203 for victory and when the game came to a close at the end of the 80th over on the second day, the visitors were locked at 9/203. Despite the draw, the Knights remain in the top four, eight points clear of Balnarring who are in fifth.

Panthers land a coach Peninsula Golf Classic a big hit FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE has finally signed a new coach. After making a lot of phone calls and offering huge money, the Panthers finally opted to appoint their full forward Pat Heijden as coach. Heijden will be supported by teammates Dylan Hoare and Mitchell Smith, who are assistants, while Juan and Jamie Merchan will assist off the field. Despite getting the role, word on the street is that Heijden is heading overseas in January for a couple of months. The Panthers passed-up the opportunity to appoint club legends Josh Beard and Shane Urbans, who would have been superb for the club. It is certainly a case of ‘watch this space’ with Pearcedale this upcoming season. Demons lose and gain After signing five players from Vermont a couple of weeks ago, Rye has said goodbye to a player who spends as much time away from the club as he does at it. Aaron Findlay signed with The Basin on Thursday night. Getting wind that this may happen, Rye was on the front foot, ensuring they had an ace up their sleeve and picked-up a full forward from Mooroolbark, 27-year-old Adrian Gileno.

Van Unen a Redleg Rye was hoping to sign Justin Van Unen, who kicked more than 100 goals a few seasons back, however, he has settled at Mt Eliza. Eagles flying high Somerville has continued to welcome new faces to the club. After signing Tommy Shaw (Seaford) and Scott Simpson (Dolphins), the word is that Chris Irving is also considering a move to the nest. That news was on the back of former North Melbourne rookie Timmy McGennis signing with the club. McGennis’ best mates and 2014 Frankston YCW premiership players Josh Westerman and Billy Rolfe are also on their way to the nest. A couple of questions! Where is Somerville getting the money to pay for these players and how do they fit them under the player points system? Keeping in mind Somerville recruited Tim and David Hirst, Kane McKenzie and Cal Dixon last season. Sharks not done After announcing that former St Kilda star Lenny Hayes is highly likely to play at Sorrento next season, we also hear that Darren Jolly has been linked with the club. We have heard though that his asking price might be a bit too high, even for the Sharks!

THE fifth annual Mornington Peninsula Golf Classic was a huge success over the week of 5 to 10 October. Almost 220 players travelled from around Australia and New Zealand to play the four tournament courses in this year’s Golf Classic – The Ocean Course at The National, Portsea, Flinders and The Dunes. Many golfers also enjoyed the opening day’s golf at Sorrento as well as the final day of golf at Mornington. Groups of golfers from clubs such as Cronulla, Hawks Nest, Pennant Hills, Royal Canberra, Sanctuary Cove, Shortland Waters, South Lakes and Yowani joined with other golfers to play in the graded tournament. The Men’s winner was James Rutter (7 handicap) from Hawks Nest with a score of 143 points. The runner up, with a score of 142 points, on a countback at The Dunes, was Steve McCosker (10.4 handicap), from Ryde-Parramatta. The women’s winner was Netti Buchanan (12.1 handicap) from Pennant Hills with a score of 127 points. The runner up was Sarah Hodgkinson (21.9 handicap) from New South Wales, with a score of 125 points. Sarah was the runner up also on a countback at Portsea. The overall winner was James Rutter and the overall runner up was Steve McCosker. The winners were presented with their prizes at the Presentation Dinner on the last night at The National Golf Club - a truly gourmet dinner and a great night. Five of our golfers were also presented with their “Five Year Participation” awards and to really join in the spirit, a couple of the five year golfers also wore their previous years’ Golf Classic

Driving force: Overall winner, James Rutter, being presented with a trophy by then mayor, Antonella Celi.

polo shirts throughout the week. There was also a hectic social program as part of the MP Golf Classic – The Welcome Party at Sorrento Golf Club, complete with jazz musicians; a superb Gala Food and Wine Dinner at the One Chef’s Hat Flinders Hotel (attended by five well-known local winemakers) and the local produce themed Celebrity Dinner at Eagle Ridge. Diners at the Celebrity Dinner experienced the best of golfing talent anywhere – Peter Thomson AO (five times British Open winner), Ross Perrett (golf course architect) and golf professional David Good and Leon Wiegard was the

very entertaining MC. Many golfers managed to also take in the many other attractions of the Mornington Peninsula by visiting a number of the wineries, the Peninsula Hot Springs, the Archibald Prize as well as sampling the great cafés. Some golfers were also keen enough to play other courses. Make sure you put an entry in your diary for 5 - 8 October 2015.
