Foreshore camp for lycra crew By Mike Hast THE population of Hastings will soar later this month when more than 5000 people arrive for the second annual Ride to Conquer Cancer in aid of Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. The foreshore will resemble a gigantic camping ground when an expected 1600 bicycle riders plus cancer survivors, supporters, donors and sponsors stay overnight on Saturday 26 October. Cyclists will ride from Melbourne to Hastings on the Saturday and return to the city on Sunday, a distance of about 200 kilometres. Last year’s inaugural ride from Melbourne to Healesville and return raised more than $6.2 million, the largest single fundraising event in Australia. Western Port Chamber of Commerce has started a campaign encouraging traders to stay open on Saturday afternoon and Sunday to serve the arrivals. Chamber president Lisa Dixon said it would be a great opportunity for “Hastings to put on show”. “Winning the event is a big coup for our town,” she said. The chamber is hoping traders will put together special deals to encourage visitors to spend in the town. A colouring competition for children will be run by traders with first prize of a bicycle donated by Kmart Hastings. The chamber is running buses on the Saturday to Western Port Oberon Association’s Victorian Maritime Centre in Crib Point for tours of the centre and viewing of HMAS Otama, the submarine moored off the Crib Point jetty.

Other events and activities are being organised. Money raised will support cancer research at Peter MacCallum including research into melanoma. A Peter Mac spokesman said one in two Australian men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Cancer kills more than 43,000 people in Australia each year with 115,000 new cases diagnosed. “Australia has the highest rate of melanoma in the world, and we’re working hard to find better and more targeted treatments for the disease,” the spokesman said. “Our team of researchers and clinicians were the only group outside of north America to initially test a new, highly selective drug called PLX4032, developed to target and destroy a gene mutation responsible for more than half of all known melanoma cases. “This therapy is now available for patients throughout the world. Vital funds raised by the ride will support the platform technologies our researchers rely on to continue their critical work in cancer discovery.” For more information and to register, go to www.conquercancer.org.au or call 1300 00 RIDE (7433). To book for the maritime centre tour, call Western Port Visitor Centre on 5979 7029. The tour costs $5.  The Western Port area will be busy on the last weekend of the month with HMAS Cerberus holding its annual open day on 27 October.

Oil spill forces road closure By Chris Brennan SALMON Street in Hastings was closed to traffic for more than two hours last Thursday morning after about 200 litres of oil spilled from a burst hydraulic line on a garbage truck. Oil was spilled along a one-kilometre stretch of the road between Marine and Reid parades about 8.30am, forcing police to cordon off the street while Country Fire Authority crews cleaned up the hazard. CFA crews used sand to cover and soak up the mineral oil before the street was reopened to traffic shortly before 11am. Hazard warning signs were put in

place and the speed limit reduced to 40km/h for the remainder of the day, before the sand was removed the following morning by a Mornington Peninsula Shire street sweeper. A CFA spokesman said it appeared the garbage truck driver had not noticed the initial hydraulic leak and had continued travelling along Salmon St, spilling a continuous stream of oil. “There was a rupture in a hydraulic tube on a truck on Salmon St up near the caravan park and the poor driver has travelled about one kilometre before he noticed,” he said. “The oil was all the way down to just past High St. It was a thin stream, but it did present a traffic hazard.

“It was mostly a safety slippage issue. The hydraulic fluid leaves an oily sheen that can be quite slippery, particularly on the bend up near the caravan park and especially in wet conditions.” He said the garbage truck would have carried about 200 litres of hydraulic oil but it was not known what proportion had leaked out. “You’d expect an alarm would go off at some stage when the oil level drops, but at what level is hard to say and it obviously hasn’t registered for quite some time.” Police said no further action was expected to be taken over the incident.

Water safety for surfer girls CHAMPION international surfer Bec Woods is coming to Western Port to teach safety to surfing girls. Woods will be at Point Leo and Phillip Island as part of the Play it Safe by the Water Surfing for Girls program. “It uses positive female role models and professional surfing coaches to pass on skills and knowledge to the next generation of female surfers,” Life Saving Victoria’s education services manager Kate Simpson said. “The program is a fun learning environment for new young surfers and a great way to educate participants on lifesaving techniques and key water safety messages. “While they develop their surfing skills, they are also taught how to identify potential dangers in the surf as well as skills to aid in a rescue.” The program has been running for 14 years and this will be the ninth year Woods has been involved. “It is great to give women exposure to the ocean and surfing in a safe environment and introduce them to something that has shaped my life from a young age,” Woods said. Also on the safety tour again will be stars of the film First Love, Jess Laing and India Payne, of Phillip Island. Everyone who takes part in the program will receive a showbag. The safety lessons will be at Point Leo on Thursday 28 November and Phillip Island on Friday 29 November. Details: www.surfingvic.com or call 5261 2907.

Career options online A ONLINE tool linking Frankston and Mornington Peninsula students with a disability to work, further education and training opportunities after school has been launched by the state government.

Images for the record PHOTOGRAPHER Daryl Gordon has created a pop-up studio to help create a photographic record of Mornington Peninsula people. Gordon has taken images of people in Balnarring and is now ready to focus on Hastings and Somers. In each case he will station himself in a shop and photograph anyone who wants to assume a pose in front of his camera. “I’ve been thinking of ways to make a document that will portray the people of the peninsula, capturing the wide diversity that exists here so that people in the future will look back and recognise faces or stop and wonder about the untold stories that have unfolded,” Gordon. “I aim to set up exhibitions in each centre the following year and to produce a book as well down the track. “People just need to turn up dressed as they are or however they want to be remembered. There is no cost involved at all this is an art project.” Gordon, a freelancer, has being a staff photographer for the former Independent News Group and Fairfax Community News, publisher of the now-defunct Weekly newspapers. He is a regular contributor to the Western Port News. “I fell in love with the photographic medium when I was eight or nine when I was given a camera to take away on a school excursion,” Gordon, of Balnarring, said. “I immediately fell in love with the archival nature of it and still have those very first photos and wonder what became of the people in them. “It’s like you’re capturing a story

while leaving space for a story to unfold. “I also love the fact that a good portrait can be like a reflection of the viewer’s emotion. Through that, in other people’s images, you can find a connection that runs across all of humanity.” Gordon will be taking his portraits

in the rear courtyard of the Sandwich King cafe (Wally’s) in High St, Hastings, 1.30-3.30pm on Saturday 12 October and 2-4pm at Somers general store on Saturday 19 October. Follow Gordon’s photo project at www.facebook.com/ DarylGordonPhotography or call 0412 131 492.

Grant to help small traders By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula retailers are set to reap the rewards of a grant awarded to Mornington Peninsula Shire to help small traders improve their business and retail management skills. The grant, announced last week by Nepean MP Martin Dixon, will fund a core skills development and mentoring project, and comes under the state government’s Streetlife program. The project aims to develop basic skills in retail management such as marketing strategies and innovative business practices, including building an online presence. It also aims to strengthen business and trader associations such as chambers of commerce. Mr Dixon said the grants would provide support to small businesses in community shopping precincts such as those found in peninsula towns. It would assist them to attract and retain customers as well as stimulate long-term growth. The grant was provided to the shire on an 80:20 co-funding basis and will be used to mentor peninsula retailers in three topics: effective business management, marketing strategies for small business, and front of house. “The project will give peninsula

retailers the opportunity to develop their business skills and learn to promote and manage their retail premises more effectively,” Mr Dixon said. “A focus on customer service will form an essential part of the project.” The peninsula was one of 36 Streetlife projects in Victoria announced as successful round two funding recipients. “Streetlife funds a diverse range of projects across the state, with councils and trader associations working handin-hand with retailers to enhance their customer service skills, implement marketing plans and improve their online and social media capabilities,” Mr Dixon said. Minister for Innovation, Services and Small Business Louise Asher said programs such as Streetlife were vital in helping support and stimulate business activity in regional centres such as towns on the peninsula. “Small businesses create nearly one-third of the state’s production and almost half of Victoria’s private sector jobs,” she said. “Encouraging small business innovation and development through programs such as Streetlife is therefore paramount.” Details: www.business.vic.gov.au/ streetlife

Snakeheads can kill says wildlife man By Mike Hast SNAKES again left winter hibernation earlier than usual this spring due to warmer than usual weather. The same thing happened last year when warm conditions came early. The appearance of snakes has prompted a warning from wildlife catchers for people not to kill snakes, which is illegal and could attract a fine of up to $6100. Peninsula licensed wildlife controller Barry Goldsmith said he was concerned about people killing snakes on their properties and exposing themselves to potential injury or death. Mr Goldsmith was called to a property last week but a resident had already killed the snake. “Snakes are protected by law and are a vital link in our environment,” he said. He said it was cruel and dangerous to behead a snake. “When a snake is beheaded, the head will stay aware, thinking, seeing and smelling for 10 minutes or more. “The body will writhe with nerves but the head could be watching you and is still dangerous. “Because it is terrified after watching its own body get chopped up, it will try to bite the hand that goes to pick it up. “Last year, a man in Queensland cut the head off a brown snake and when he went to pick it up, it bit him on the wrist. He dropped it and the snake bit him again on the ankle. He later died.” Mr Goldsmith said lots of people put themselves in danger from the snake, and the law, when they attempt to kill a snake.

“A bloke in NSW hit a snake with a shovel and it took off through the fence and there was a child in a sandpit on the other side. The toddler was bitten and only just survived.” Mr Goldsmith said a snake was at its most dangerous when in pain or afraid for its life. Most snakes on the peninsula are copperheads and tiger snakes. “There are healthy populations of tigers snakes in Frankston, Mt Martha, Dromana, McCrae, Rosebud, Sorrento and Portsea,” he said. “In Hastings, Somerville and Balnarring, we often get called out to catch copperheads. “Toward Dandenong and beyond there is a good chance of encountering a red-bellied black snake.” He said tiger snakes and copperheads are often mistaken for black or brown snakes. Snakes were generally released within five kilometres of the capture site “unless the snake is an obvious escapee pet or hitchhiker”. “People need to be aware snakes are moving around looking for food and water; if you see a snake in your garden, leave it alone and you won’t have a problem,” Mr Goldsmith said. Mr Goldsmith said many snakes had been displaced during the building of Peninsula Link freeway between Carrum Downs and Mt Martha. He also warned about pets and snakes. “Snakes don’t attack dogs; dogs attack snakes,” he said. Veterinarians say dogs should be kept on a leash in dunes, long grass, bushland, and beside creeks.

Child sex charges THE isolation of French Island and membership of a Bible group are likely to be scrutinised as a result of child sex charges being laid against a resident of the island. The 56-year-old man is a follower of the Two by Twos, or Friends and Workers Group, whose members hold prayer meetings in each other’s houses, including at Crib Point, Pearcedale and Langwarrin as well as in halls in Somerville, Tyabb, Cranbourne and Dingley. Most of the charges against the man relate to when he was aged 14 to 18 and before he joined the religious organisation although one relates to an offence alleged to have been committed when he was 20. It is understood the charges were based on a statement the man made to police in 2011.

Police warning

Danger time: Licensed wildlife controller Barry Goldsmith with a snake captured in a Mornington Peninsula backyard and released into nearby bush soon after. Picture: Yanni

Snake bites are difficult to detect on dogs and cats. The most immediate reactions to a bite are trembling, rapid breathing, vomiting, defecation and collapse. After some of these signs, eye pupils may dilate (get bigger) and the animal’s gait will become clumsy as the legs become progressively weaker. If the dose of venom is large enough, complete paralysis will occur, fol-

lowed by death if untreated with antivenom. If treated immediately, pets have a good chance of survival and recovery. The best course of action is to keep your pet as calm and still as possible and get them to a vet.  Anyone who sees a snake can call DEPI on 136 186 or a licensed snake handler found on the website www. snakecatchers.com

POLICE are targeting drivers who ignore roadwork zone speed restrictions in a crackdown dubbed Operation Nickel. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said there was a tendency for some motorists to ignore posted speed limits when travelling through restricted roadwork zones. He said the operation aimed to make sure people employed to work in roadside construction zones had a safe place to work. “People working in these zones have been identified as some of our most vulnerable road users and Victoria Police is committed to ensuring their safety,” Mr Hill said. “If you speed through these zones, it is highly likely you will be detected and fined.”

Golfers line up for the 110th By Tony Duboudin FLINDERS Golf Club is about to celebrate its 110th birthday, continuing its reign as the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest with members still playing on its original course. Five-time British Open winner Peter Thomson will be guest of honour at the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 110th anniversary dinner on Saturday 26 October. For Thomson it will bring back good memories as he won the Flinders Golf Club Easter tournament in 1949 before going on in 1954 to win the first of five British Open titles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a significant milestone for the club and one of which we are justifiably proud,â&#x20AC;? club president Graham Scoffern said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives the club a great sense of continuity. We now look forward to another 110 years.â&#x20AC;? The Flinders course had its beginnings in the 1870s when English and Scottish migrants working at the nearby cable station â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where the telegraph cable from Tasmania came ashore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; carved out four rough golf holes on the clifftop. Their work sparked the interest of David Myles Maxwell, who had come to Flinders to manage an onion farm and also happened to be a champion golfer hailing from the holy grail of golf, St Andrews in Scotland. In 1892 Maxwell was the inaugural club champion at Melbourne Golf Club, which soon became Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Being a golf fanatic, he organised volunteers to add another two holes to the nascent

course. He also organised friends from Royal Melbourne, who were among the golfing elite of their day, to come and stay with him in Flinders at St Andrews guest house, built in 1905. Among them were Dr (later Sir) James Barrett, Justice Higgins and Dr (later Sir) John McFarland. In 1902, Maxwell put the wheels in motion to establish Flinders Golf Links on two parcels of land owned by the Union Bank and the Crown after a visit to Flinders by Dr Alister Mackenzie, who later became a world renowned golf course architect. Mackenzie made some suggestions about improving the course and within a year it had 18 holes. Maxwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Dr Barrett was made chairman of the committee with Maxwell as honorary secretary. The new club was affiliated with

the Victorian Golf Association in 1903 and on opening day, the Royal Melbourne Golf Club presented a hole cutter to the newly affiliated club. Annual membership was two shillings and sixpence and the club revenue for the first year was three pounds ($6). Melbourne members spread the word and the renowned Easter tournament began in 1905 and has continued to be held almost uninterrupted to this day. Flinders was rough and windy to play, with holes along the cliffs and even down to the beach and back. The club generated such interest that the Mornington Standard reported on 16 December 1905: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In no part of the state has any golf club made such rapid strides as that at Flinders. Though started only some three years ago by Mr D M Maxwell (who is still

honorary secretary of the club) with a membership of 22, the financial year, which closed on September 30, shows a roll of 155 members.â&#x20AC;? Over the next 15 years the club acquired freehold land abutting the course. To accomplish this, Maxwell and Barrett formed the Flinders Golf Links Land Company but, because the club was playing golf on a course primarily on Crown land, the state government was asked to form a public park. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;temporary reserveâ&#x20AC;? was created in 1914 and, with some certainty in place, Maxwell started to improve the course. Land acquisitions continued until 1918 by which time the club (the Flinders Golf Links Lands Co had liquidated its assets and transferred them to the Flinders Golf Club) owned all the land on the Western Port

frontage. In 1920 the club decided to offer to the Crown all 18 acres (7.23 hectares) of its valuable land along the Western Port side of the links with two main conditions: Bass Park (now comprising 103 acres) would be permanently reserved and six trustees would be appointed, three to be nominated by the Flinders Golf Club and three by the district. In the early years the course was very much a traditional links-style one with few trees along the clifftops and bare around the fairways. Two holes in particular, the third and fourth, Niagara and Spion Kop, helped put the course on the map. In November 1926, Dr Alister Mackenzie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by now one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top course designers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; returned to Flinders while in Australia to design Royal Melbourne Golf Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Sandringham links. Mackenzie was impressed with the course â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Peninsula Post (12/8/1928) quoting him as saying it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;equalled by only one other natural course, which is in Californiaâ&#x20AC;?. Apart from recommending the closure of Spion Kop and Niagara â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mackenzie said the beach sequence slowed play too much â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he suggested altering the Coffin, adding two new holes in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;top paddockâ&#x20AC;?, and building up greens and improvements to the fairways and bunkers. David Maxwell and his greenkeepers spent years trying to put the recommendations in place. Improvements and alterations to the course have continued from Mackenzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day up to the present.

Nim’s Island author at anti-tip film benefit By Mike Hast LIFE imitates art on Sunday at Rosebud Cinemas when the film Return to Nim’s Island will be screened as a fundraiser for anti-tip protester Peninsula Preservation Group.

Nim’s tropical paradise is simultaneously threatened by poachers and developers in an echo of what is happening at Dromana with Peninsula Waste Management seeking to turn an old quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment into a municipal rubbish dump. The sequel to Nim’s Island (2008) was released nationally in April. It is based on the award-winning children’s book Nim at Sea by Mornington Peninsula author Wendy Orr, who will speak before the screening at 12.30pm and also sign books. Ms Orr, who lives in Red Hill, supports the group’s anti-tip campaign. “My husband and I moved to Red Hill 13 years ago because we fell in love with its natural beauty,” she said. “Having long held a commitment to the environment, we’ve worked hard to restore our five acres of bush, and have been rewarded by the continuing presence of indigenous birds, butterflies and animals. “We were horrified to think of a tip being introduced into this ecosystem.” Ms Orr said the parallels between Return to Nim’s Island and the anti-tip campaign were quite striking. “Nim’s Island is a unique and pristine environment with different ecosystems. “In the film, a large corporation intends to take over the island for profit, and the only way Nim and her friends can thwart it is to document three endangered species and prove to the powers-thatbe that the island is worth preserving.”

Ms Orr said the quarry site owned by the Ross Trust was not exactly pristine “but it supports many different species of flora and fauna, some of which are endangered, and it has been up to the community to prove this ecosystem is worth saving”. She said the Nim’s books had inspired children to join environmental campaigns in other parts of the world. Mary Karamitsios of PPG said the film fundraiser had been organised before the Environment Protection Authority refused a work approval for the tip on Friday 13 September. Ms Karamitsios said “it was agreed by all in-

volved that the event should proceed until there was certainty that the proponents would not appeal the decision at VCAT, and that the site is protected from future inappropriate development”. “PPG agrees with the overwhelming community sentiment to have the site reconnected to the adjacent Arthurs Seat State Park,” she said.  Return to Nim’s Island is on Sunday 6 October at Rosebud Cinemas, 30 Rosebud Pde. Wendy Orr’s talk at 12.30pm, movie at 1pm. Tickets: Family $40, adult $15, child or concession $10 (includes small popcorn and drink). Bookings: Rosebud Cinemas, 5986 4130. Seats are limited.

A bloomin’ beaut idea Continued from Page 1

With Australia at war in the Pacific and the Japanese war machine sweeping toward our shores, it was believed an invasion would be mounted on the peninsula to access Melbourne, Ms Sexton said. Particular interest was on Balnarring and Merricks beaches, thought to be ideal locations for landing craft. “The beaches from Somers to Point Leo were heavily fortified and surrounded by barbed wire, and all street signs were taken down to confuse the enemy,” she said. Phyllis Cole, who lived on her family’s historic Larnoo property, watched the build up to war from her front gate, with soldiers of the Royal Regiment setting up camp in the area as well as at Merricks Beach and Point Leo. She was quoted as saying: “Soldiers were camped at the back paddocks as well and there were anti-aircraft emplacements along the sand dunes and an anti-aircraft station over in the old hawthorn hedge.” Being a lover of beauty, Ms Cole took it upon herself to try to uplift the community and bestow a sense of normality. A flower show seemed just the thing. The show has been held every year since with the exception of when Balnarring Hall was being renovated. More than 50 exhibitors and 200 exhibits will be presented. In addition to the usual floral entry classes, there will be a produce section, which will include fruit, vegetables and herbs. A junior class has been expanded to include arrangements of home grown vegetables. Exhibits for the show will be accepted on Saturday 26 October between 9am-midday ahead of the gala opening night from 7pm (tickets $25 or $5 for children). The show opens at 10am on Sunday 27 October. Entry is $2.50 or $5 for families. Entry forms are available from Balnarring Op Shop, Balnarring & District Community Bendigo Bank, various Balnarring traders or The Bridge website www.bridgmag.com.au For tickets or more information, call Celia Sexton 0427 858 378 or Roberta 5979 4086.

Wally and mates for street festival By Debra Mar THE program for the popular Main Street Mornington Festival was launched on Friday night. The 18th annual festival starts at 11am on Sunday 20 October. About 40,000 people packed the town’s Main St last year. Highlights will include stage performances headlined by The Basics (bassist Kris Schroeder, guitarist Tim Heath and drummer Wally de Backer, aka the Grammy Award-winner Gotye, who lives in the peninsula), roving musicians, artists, a children’s arcade, activities and more than 70 food and wine stalls. Organisers said the festival showcased the lifestyle that Mornington Peninsula “residents enjoy on a daily basis – bringing together wine, food, music, art, entertainment, shopping and fun”. Festival director Christina Nolan and assistant director Paula Creek said the launch was to “bring local businesses, sponsors and volunteers

together to acknowledge their support for the past 17 years”. Familiar faces at the launch included Dunkley MP and new Minister for Small Business Bruce Billson, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors Anne Shaw and Bev Colomb, Kim Rowe of Mornington Chamber of Commerce and Bendigo Community branch managers Kerry Debernardi of Mornington, Greg Hilton of Mt Martha and Chris Watson of Mt Eliza. The bank branches are major sponsors of the event. Ms Nolan presented certificate of appreciation to the shire, the chamber of commerce, Mary and Arthur Parsons of Visitor Publications, Beleura House and Garden, and the Grand Hotel in Mornington. Ms Nolan also acknowledged volunteers of the Lions Club of Mt Eliza. Radio Port Phillip will broadcast live from the festival.

State plans hold key to quarry’s fate Peninsula under pressure to join metro group By Mike Hast THE state government has released two draft plans for waste recovery infrastructure that will markedly reduce the likelihood of a rubbish tip in the old Pioneer quarry at Dromana. The plans were released on Friday by Acting Environment Minister Peter Walsh. Mr Walsh said the Statewide Waste and Resource Recovery Infrastructure Plan provided “a 30-year roadmap for government and industry investment opportunities to improve Victoria’s waste management and resource recovery infrastructure network”. The complementary draft Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Strategic Plan for Melbourne identifies specific waste and resource recovery infrastructure needed for metropolitan Melbourne, including the Mornington Peninsula, over the next 10 years. He said the plans were “two major milestones in implementing the government’s Getting Full Value: Victoria’s Waste and Resource Recovery Policy, which was released in April”. Getting Full Value outlined the government’s intentions to develop a statewide waste and resource recovery infrastructure plan to improve long-term strategic waste planning, he said. The two plans will make it harder for tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management and its owner, the R E Ross Trust, to challenge the EPA’s refusal of the quarry tip plan earlier this month. The quarry site on the Arthurs Seat escarpment does not have space for a waste recovery depot. PWM has until Friday to decide whether to challenge the EPA’s decision at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

The News understands Ross Trust will consider whether to appeal the EPA decision at its annual meeting this week. Mr Walsh said the plans would help prepare for “Victoria’s growing population and maximise the economic return from our waste materials through more sophisticated planning”. The government is proposing to set up waste collection hubs to sort waste and extract items of value such as metals, concrete, bricks, asphalt and timber. Mr Walsh said the waste and resource recovery industry was a diverse sector worth $2.2 billion annually to the Victorian economy and employing more than 8000 people. “As we implement key actions from Getting Full Value, it is vital that the right plan is in place, including land use and transport plans,” he said. “This will help guide investment decisions for waste and resource recovery, and support the future of this important industry for our state.” He said the government would seek input from industry, community, local government and waste management groups before releasing the final plans in 2014. The draft statewide plan is open for comment until 6 December and the draft metropolitan plan until 25 November. For details, visit: www.sustainability.vic.gov.au  The government in August said it would reduce the state’s waste management groups from 12 to six, and force Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group to join the Metropolitan Waste Management Group, which also has implications for the proposed Dromana quarry tip.

Question fails to pass Buck Mornington Peninsula Shire Council community meeting at Somerville’s Mechanics Hall, Monday 23 September. The usual fine buffet meal. By David Harrison IT was a depleted council chamber, with shire CEO Michael Kennedy and councillors Frank Martin and David Gibb absent. Infrastructure director Alex Atkins stood in for Dr Kennedy as acting CEO. Does Mr Atkins, one wondered, receive extra money when he acts as the shire supremo? Keeping the shire ship off the rocks is a weighty responsibility, even if for only a week or two during the school holidays, and surely worth a few extra dollars. Question time can be lively, and this night had its moment. Mornington resident Roger Lambert, veteran gadfly and frequent contender in council elections, caused a spike in excitement with a question that governance manager Noel Buck, who is retiring from the shire, declined to answer. Mr Buck, who once banned this writer briefly from asking questions at council meetings on the grounds that “you are a journalist” – fancy a journalist asking questions! – stated he would not answer Mr Lambert’s question because it did not conform to question time guidelines. In fact, the question was adjudicated to be inappropriate. An intrigued Council Watch, always alert for a scoop, immediately questioned Mr Lambert on the wording of the question, which, of course, will not appear in the meeting minutes. So here it is – a world exclusive. “It ran along the lines of: Prior to council’s adjournment for Christmas, how did it intend to commemorate the year of passing of the Buck?” Mr Lambert whispered with a grin. Clearly more than one person is mourning the departure of Mr Buck and wishing to put that sentiment on the council record. And clearly council veteran Buck will get an appropriate shire send-off. But Council Watch, which also notes with

sadness Mr Buck’s imminent departure from the shire, wondered two things. Firstly, did Mr Buck have a conflict of interest in adjudicating that the question should not be asked on the grounds that it did not meet question time guidelines? Surely, on the basis that he was the question’s subject, he should have passed the decision to mayor Lynn Bowden or acting CEO Atkins? Conflict of interest is not a matter to be taken lightly, as Mr Buck well knows. Secondly, should not the earnest and dedicated Mr Buck have demonstrated his keenly tuned sense of humour by breaking into a broad grin and asking the question anyway, in the spirit of camaraderie that exists between senior shire staff and their question time interrogators? It was an opportunity for levity missed. The slowly tightening rules that Mr Buck has imposed on questioners in recent times – only two questions a person, each of no more than 50 words, each signed to confirm it is the original work of the author – are now deftly handled by council meeting regulars. And most questions are just as adroitly not answered by shire staff, unless the shire deems the information sought by the question fits its notion of openness and transparency, better known as shire spin. But the passing of the Buck will likely not be final. Council Watch will be unsurprised to see Mr Buck reappearing occasionally at the shire offices. The shire is developing a tradition of calling back former staff to consult in their area of expertise.

What is an anode and how long should it last? By Ron Gunn of Utow Caravans WE all take the hot water that we get when we wash the dishes in our caravan for granted. So we should, we paid good money to have the electric or gas or gas/electric hot water heater fitted to out caravan. What we don’t realize is that the water quality around our country is not always that good and as such tends to either destroy the inside of the water holding tank or the sacrificial anode. Anode. What is that? The majority of good quality hot water services have an anode which is of a softer material than the tank itself and when the minerals which are so often found in our water systems (especially bore water) starts to react with the tank, the anode is what is eaten away first, thus saving the tank from corrosion. If you have had anything to do with outboard motors or motorized water craft you will notice the sacrificial areas on the bottom of the motor that are replaced every so often as they wear out, same goes for the inside of the water tank. The sacrificial anode on a suburban hot water system is just a nut down the lower edge

of the system. A shifter or socket will remove this and check your anode condition. Be careful if it is rusty because you could break the surrounding areas on the tank if it is too difficult to remove. Using WD40 or CRC will help loosen this nut. When you are replacing the anode use white Teflon tape to obtain a good seal. How long should they last? That depends entirely on the type of water being used, usually from 3 months to 12 months.

Farewell to bay’s nine days of sail THOUSANDS of people lined the eastern shore of Port Phillip to watch six tall ships in a Parade of Sail from Williamstown to Blairgowrie on Saturday 14 September. The foreshore of the southern peninsula was busy again the next morning when the Àeet left for Tasmania at about 10am. The ships had been part of the Melbourne International Tall Ships Festival at Seaworks in Williamstown and were heading for Hobart after spending the night anchored off the southern peninsula. Led by the British ship Lord Nelson, a 55-metre square rigger that can be sailed by disabled and able-bodied crew, the Àeet took most of the afternoon to reach the peninsula due to light winds. Rosebud and Rye piers were packed with spectators. Tall ship crews attended a dinner at Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron on the Saturday night. It was the biggest tall ships Àeet to visit Melbourne since Australia’s bicentenary in 1988. David Wharington, a peninsula resident and founding member of Tall Ships Victoria, said the festival was “extremely successful” with more than 30,000 people visiting the ships. After Tasmania, the ships sailed to Sydney for the International Fleet Review 3-11 October to commemorate the centenary of the ¿rst entry of the Royal Australian Navy’s Àeet into Sydney.

Analog TV is being switched oﬀ in Melbourne and surrounding areas on 10 December 2013*

Kilmore Macedon

Marysville

Bacchus Marsh Melbourne Cockatoo Mornington

Warragul

Sorrento Wonthaggi

The areas shaded maroon above show where the analog TV signals will be switched off on 10 December 2013*. After this date, these areas will receive digital-only signals. If you haven’t already done so, you need to get ready for digital-only TV.

How do I tell if I have digital TV? If you can see ABC2, SBS TWO, GO!, 7TWO or Eleven, you are digital ready and don’t need to do anything.

If I can’t see those channels, what do I have to do? Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner. Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to. Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling. If you have any other questions, or to ﬁnd your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.

Get ready for digital TV today. *Please note: switch off may occur earlier in some towns. Residents in these towns will be informed about the switchover dates. See the website for more information.

Western Port News 1 October 2013

By Ursula de Jong THE Nepean Conservation Group has been caring for our environment since 1973. It should be a time to celebrate but the group is faced with a most insidious threat to our natural heritage. Our national parks, created to protect our natural and cultural heritage, are under serious threat. The state government, in calling for privatisation and commercialisation in national parks, is undermining the raison d’etre of the parks. Expressions of interest closed in early August for Point Nepean National Park. Deliberations have begun, but the community is excluded from these considerations that will adversely affect the future of our national park. A report in the The News last month that the Mornington Peninsula Shire “will be kept in the loop” is no consolation for being excluded from actively participating in the process. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) defines protected areas such as our national parks as “a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values”. Parks Victoria looks after our national parks under the National Parks Act 1975. Its slogan says it all: Healthy Parks, Healthy People. Interestingly the IUCN further states that “the highest competent authority of the country” should take steps “to prevent or eliminate as soon as possible exploitation or occupation in the whole area” and effectively enforce “the respect of ecological, geomorphological or aesthetic features which have led to its establishment”. Visitors are welcome – but under special conditions “for inspirational, educative, cultural and recreative purposes”. In the National Parks Amendment (Leasing Powers and Other Matters) Bill currently being considered by state parliament, up to two-thirds of land in Victoria’s national parks could be placed under long-term leases. Indeed 99-year leases are being offered to encourage commercial development. Under new provisions, the responsible minister will be able to make decisions without parliament passing an amendment to the National Parks Act. Why do we need large-scale, long-term, “resort-type” development in our national parks? In the shire’s Nepean Ward we have every type and range of accommodation and amenity available, from Rye to Portsea. Extensive bicycle and walking paths link Port Phillip and Bass Strait. The Mornington Peninsula and Point Nepean national parks are accessible at many points. These are precious, small, remaining reserves of habitat in much need of the highest protection to maintain their integrity. They contain outstanding remnants of our indigenous, natural and cultural heritage. Victorians are their custodians. If we do not act now, who will? We could take the example of the turtle for our own actions: “He makes progress only when he sticks his head out.” Nepean Conservation Group encourages everyone to write to their local MPs and stay informed. Dr Ursula de Jong is president of Nepean Conservation Group

Parks under threat NATURAL threats to the Mornington Peninsula’s national parks are ever present. Summer recreational use puts extreme pressure on this fragile ocean coast. The calcarenite cliffs are naturally subject to erosion from wind and high tides. Human impact speeds this process along. Yet a partnership between people and place is the best way to protect our two coastal national parks. The NCG’s vision is for people to understand and appreciate the natural and cultural heritage that contributes to the sense of place of the Nepean Peninsula in order to protect and conserve the amenity and enhance the character of place. Awareness of the nature of our local coastal environments is the first step along the journey. Find out more at the Community Arts Heritage Showcase, Sorrento Community Centre, 10am-3pm Saturday 5 October.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston man suffers horse accident, booze to blame for US convicts Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 October 1913. MR M. Brody, of Frankston, had a rather startling experience on Friday last. He was unharnessing a young horse in the Pier Hotel yard, when the animal became frightened and made off. Mr Brody grabbed the reins, but the horse pulled him along till the trap struck an obstruction and overturned, striking Mr Brody. He was rather severely hurt, and was confined to his room for four or five days, and was attended to by Dr Maxwell. We are pleased to state that he is about again, though he has to have the assistance of a stick. *** THE chaplain of the penitentiary in Alabama asked how many of the convicts owed their position to the use of liquor, and out of 300 in the gaol, 281 rose to their feet to signify that drink was the cause of their downfall. *** THE Frankston Orchestra has made great strides under the conductorship of Mr Walter Jennings, and it is quite possible that the Choral and Orchestra will render the leading choruses from ‘Faust’ in the near future. *** AT the last meeting of the committee of the Frankston Choral Society it was pleasing to note that the hon. secretary drew attention to the increasing number of members. The Choral Society has now 40 members and the Orchestra 15 instrumentalists and it is expected that others will join. *** ON Tuesday next, October 7th, Mr R. M. Jennings, the well-known organ-

iser of the People’s Liberal Party will deliver an address in the Mechanics’ Hall, Somerville, at 8 p.m. Musical items will also be rendered, and an enjoyable and instructive evening is assured. *** FINALITY has at last been reached in connection with the agitation that has been going on for some time by Somerville residents for improved school accommodation. A communication has been received from the Department stating that tenders for the removal and re-erection of the school will be called for next week. The National Trustees Company is applying for probate in the will of Patrick Phelan, late of Cowes, Phillip Island, farmer, who died on 22nd ult., leaving estate valued at £3045, being reality £2214 and personalty £881, Testator bequeathed a legacy of £100 to the Roman Catholic archbishop towards the erection of a church at Cowes, and the residue to his nephews and nieces. *** AT a special meeting of the Mornington Loyal Celebration League, held in the Mechanics’ Institute on Monday evening last, it was unanimously decided to expend up to £12 in tickets for the school children’s trip to the Zoological Gardens, which takes place on Wednesday, 12th November. Where there are more than two children in a family those tickets will be given free to all over that number up to 16 years of age. *** THE date for the lecture on “Fish Life”, to be given by Mr H. C. Dan-

nevig, Director of Fisheries, in the Mornington Mechanics’ Institute, has been fixed for Thursday, 28rd October. Mr Dannevig is at present on a cruise, and is taking a number of views for the purpose of illustrating his lecture, which will doubtless be most instructive and interesting. Major Campbell, who is making all arrangements, and also paying the expenses, deserves the best thanks of the community for his enterprise. The admission to the lecture is free. *** MR W. Schultz, of the Pier Hotel, Frankston, has just completed an addition to his establishment which will prove a great convenience to motorists and the travelling public generally. The now building consists of a commodious garage and stables, 60ft x 16ft, built of sand and cement blocks, the latter being made by himself. When completed there will be room for three motor cars, a buggy shed, and a noose box. In the space allotted to the motors a pit has been excavated, so that the person in charge of car can get underneath with ease to effect any necessary repairs. *** A COMPLIMENTARY social do for the Hastings footballers was held in the local hall on Friday, September 26th. A very enjoyable night’s dancing was spent, interspersed with songs by Misses Hodgins, Reid and Jones and Messrs F. A. Tubbs and J. Carmichael, which were much appreciated by all. Rev. C. Eva spoke in a very efficient manner on the excellent way that the Blue and Whites had come to the top of the tree. At the start of the season we heard a lot about what

other clubs were going to do, but Hastings is still on top, and likely to stop there, too. Mr J. D. Hodgins (the President) responded on behalf of the footballers, and said that they did their best and all pulled together with excellent results. *** THE son of the local storekeeper, Willie Berry, whilst in charge of a horse and cart at the Military reserve met with a painful accident. The horse took fright at the noise of a motor and bolted. The lad was thrown to the ground and had his arm broken. *** THE poultry lecture as announced to be given by Mr Rintoul, an expert attached to the Department of Agriculture, fell through owing to the lecturer not putting in an appearance. There was only a moderate attendance. The President of the Progress Association, Mr J. Archibald, however, proved equal to the occasion, and opened a discussion on poultry, and related reminiscences of an amusing character. Others also contributed items on various matters appertaining to poultry keeping, and although disappointment was felt at the absence of Mr Rintoul, a pleasant social evening was enjoyed. *** LARGE quantities of eggs and poultry are being used daily at the Military Camp here, and poultry keepers will find a ready sale for their produce there in any quantities at top market rates. Very satisfactory progress is being made at most of the poultry yards, and larger quantities of eggs are being despatched weekly from the district. At Mr C. W. Clarke’s Skye road,

hatching is now in full swing, and it is intended that 4000 more birds will be added to the flock this season. An immense quantity of eggs have been daily gathered for some time, the cross that Mr Clark introduced with last year’s hatching having fully come up to his expectations as early and prolific layers. *** MRS J. Clark, of Langwarrin, scored three first prizes and one second at the recent Royal Show with Plymouth barred Rocks. *** A QUESTION arising out of the purchase of certain allotments of land at Frankston was argued in the Practice Court on Monday before Mr Justice Hood. The vendor was John William Thomas, of Scottish House, William Street, and the purchaser was Francis William Tatley, of Frankston. The complaint of the purchaser was that under the wording of the contract of sale he was not given the right of carriage way over a lane at the rear of the allotment. As the lane was shown on the subdivision plan produced at the sale, Tatley claimed that he should be given right of traffic over it. His Honor held that the contract of sale must be obeyed. No doubt if the plan were exhibited at the sale it would form part of the contract, and ought to have been included in it; but to make that order now would mean rectification, and his Honor had no power under these proceedings to deal with such a matter. Mr Schutt (instructed by Mr John Martyn) appeared for the vendor; and Mr Macindoe (instructed by Messrs Blake and Riggall) for the purchaser.

Hope springs eternal for romance By Stuart McCullough IT’S here. After months of relentless, driving rain that has twice had me building my own ark, we have finally turned the corner. The scent of freshcut grass fills the air. The sun lifts its sleepy head above the horizon before you’ve opened your eyes. The sound of birds fills the garden. Yes, spring has well and truly arrived. For some it’s a time for cleaning and for taking stock, but I see it differently. Spring, in my view, is the season of romance. As I break out the shorts and long socks, it’s time to indulge in a remembrance of things past and recall the great, lost love affairs of my youth. I still remember the first time I kissed someone. Even now, it remains one of the key defining moments of my entire life. Without doubt, I was nervous. But she was older and, frankly, a great deal more experienced than I was and did not bat an eyelid. That, partly, was due to the way she was moulded. Her hair was the colour of straw and, keeping with the style of the time, she wore a blue, zip-up tracksuit top. Unlike most of the girls I knew, she also folded neatly away into a suitcase. We had only met that morning, but I had felt the connection instantly. It was only a matter of time before our lips met. With my entire class watching on, I closed my eyes and leaned forward. She remained as still as a rock. Clearly, it would be up to me to take the initiative. As our lips connected, I felt a jolt of electricity rush through my body. Given that the carpet in our portable classroom was the cheapest that money could buy, this was not uncommon,

but I’d like to think that the magic of the moment was a contributing factor. I could hear my friends sniggering and making comments behind me, but I didn’t care. They could mock me all the wanted, but I had found something real; something that I knew would stand the test of time. Something beautiful. But before I knew it, the moment over and I was left to stare longingly into her eyes. In a reaction that I come to expect from all my subsequent romantic endeavours, she did not utter a single word to me after our lips parted. With the taste of antiseptic still on my lips, I watched on in horror as she went right ahead and kissed one of my classmates. Naturally, I was devastated.

Without a moment’s hesitation she had torn my heart from my chest like a ring-pull from a chocolate snack pack. I learned then that love can be cruel just as surely as it can be wonderful. Over the years, some of the scars of that fateful day have healed and, from time to time, I wonder how she might be doing. Has she married? Is she still doing the same kind of work? Does she still fit in the suitcase or, like the rest of us, has she stacked a little bit of weight over the years? Yes, these are just some of the questions I’d like to ask Resusci Annie – the girl who first broke my heart. She arrived at the grade 5 classroom to teach us the finer points of resuscitation, but she ended up teaching me so much more. Resusci Annie must have

had someone helping her, but I can’t for the life of me picture what she or he might have looked like. It’s fair to say that the moment they opened that suitcase and I glimpsed her blue tracksuit and even bluer eyes, I was something of a goner. Perhaps it was the face. Rather than just a random bunch of features, Resusci Annie was based on a real person. In the late 1880s, a young girl was dragged from the Seine River in Paris. The cause of her demise was a mystery and, as was the custom back then, a death mask was made. That the face of a young French girl who, herself, drowned is now used to teach people how to perform mouth-tomouth resuscitation is a sizable irony. Not that I knew all this when I met all

those years ago. I only knew that I was captivated. Despite that first, powerful encounter, we haven’t kept in contact. It’s understandable, really, when you consider the way things ended between us. In an earlier age, that would simply be that. But now, thanks to the internet, it’s easier than ever to get back in touch. I could do things the old fashioned way, but I’m reluctant to call. Besides, unless she’s changed, Resusci Annie was never much of a conversationalist, preferring instead to let her actions do the talking for her. I checked Facebook but there was no sign of her. A search of the White Pages failed to turn up any trace. Perhaps it wasn’t meant to be. Sometimes the past should remain exactly that. But before I abandoned any hope of finding someone who played such a huge part of my life, I decided to Google her. There she was. Unchanged by the years and still resplendent in her blue tracksuit, Resusci Annie (or, to use her full name, Laerdal Medical Resusci Anne CPR Training Inflatable Manikin) was available on eBay for $260. How the mighty have fallen. It was difficult to see her there, photographed both in and out of her trusty suitcase, counting down the hours before highest bidder was declared. It won’t be me. I prefer to remember as she was, back in the springtime of my youth. God’s speed, Resusci Annie, wherever you may go. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

By Haydn Godony

Burlesque a tasteful tease that packs a punch By Haydn Godony BURLESQUE emerged from medieval Europe as a form of classical theatre, adopting a risqué style that ridiculed stage conventions. Shows parodied widely known works of literature, theatre or music but did not contain striptease. In the late 19th century through to the Second World War burlesque re-emerged as a blend of performance art, satire and adult entertainment. It featured striptease and comedy as well as novelty acts such as fire eaters, mime artists, singers and dancing girls. Double entendre was often woven into the show. Today, as burlesque again grows in popularity, it is revisiting the style of a time when glamour, parody and live performance ruled. The stage show Simply Burlesque comes to the region this month, starring four sultry femme fatales introduced by mistress of ceremonies Leila Léontine. “I was born into a troupe of travelling minstrels some time last century, and have spent eons perfecting the art of song, storytelling and immortality,” Ms Léontine said. Her showgirls dance, bend, sing, wiggle and shimmy onstage, promising lots of laughs as they cavort through routines. “My girls will have you in stitches of laughter, basking in seduction and tickled with delight – a cheeky concoction of talent, ready to dazzle with beauty, wit and charm.” Simply Burlesque is at Somerville Hotel on Friday 18 October, phone 5977 5241. The show is at Daveys in Frankston on Thursday 14 November, phone 9783 7255.

Simply onstage: Burlesque mistress Leila Léontine with Dixie Doll, Annabella Mozarella and Lyra la Belle.

Bistro dining fits the bill at Somie Hotel By Haydn Godony FIRMLY focused on family dining, Somerville Hotel’s menu is regularly updated with the seasons and is packed with people pleasers. The bistro is cheerfully functional, with colourful, nautically themed carpet and complimentary tabletops. A pair of variegated paintings are juxtaposed with a couple of flat screens hanging on the rear wall. Padded chairs add comfort while easy listening tunes waft from the sound system. Chef Deanne Baldrey enjoys her job: “We have a great all-round atmosphere here; with good food that is reasonably priced and a great play area for the kids. “There is nothing too complicated about our style. People expect their meals to be delivered quickly but it has to be nice food with goodsized portions,” she said. The most popular meal is the chicken parma. The entree-sized honey-mustard chicken drumettes are slowly pan-braised, with a drizzle of dressing, until they glaze over to a hue of crispy brown. A garden salad of lettuce, onion and tomato is arranged on the plate prior to a final dash of dressing. Many dishes, such as the drumettes, are also available gluten-free. Steaks include a choice of grazier’s rump,

porterhouse or scotch fillet with a range of six sauces. A favourite main is the crusted barramundi. The fillets are flash-grilled then topped with a mixture of seasoned parmesan and breadcrumbs, browned to crispy under a salamander. A Mediterranean salad shares the plate. New dishes on the Somie’s spring menu include Tuscan veal, lamb tortilla, prawn risotto and grilled Atlantic salmon with a honey, soy and sesame dressing. “It’s got a lot of yumminess to it,” chef Deanne said. The children’s menu offers a choice of seven dishes including roast of the day and a chicken wrap with chips. Desserts include a good display of cakes and ice cream sundaes. Weekly specials include a two-for-one meal deal on Mondays, $12 burger and chips on Tuesdays, grazier’s rump steak and a pot of beer for $12 on Wednesdays, a $12 parma or kiev served with chips and salad on Thursday. A seafood combo is served for the same $12 price, for lunch and dinner, every Friday. On Sunday each child accompanied by an adult eats free of charge. Somerville Hotel is a town landmark in Station St, Somerville. Phone 5977 5241.

Performance HUNTERS & Collectors became a huge hit with Melbourne audiences in the early 80s playing their unique brand of rhythmic music, evolving from the cult band, the Jetsonnes. They signed to Mushroom Records in late 1981 and the following year released the World of Stone EP. Hunters & Collectors have announced their first tour since 1998, kicking off on the Australia Day long weekend in January 2014. The tour news comes amid a burst of recent Hunters & Collectors activity, including their performance at the AFL Grand Final, their special guest appearances at two Bruce Springsteen concerts in Melbourne in February, and the release of Crucible – The Songs Of Hunters & Collectors, a lovingly curated album featuring 15 stunning tribute cover versions from the likes of The Living End, Birds Of Tokyo, Neil Finn, Eddie Vedder and Paul Kelly accompanied by 15 original Hunters & Collectors songs (Liberation Music). The album is a testament to the extraordinary Hunters & Collectors legacy, one that was built not only on their uniquely Australian songs and Mark Seymour’s razor sharp lyrics, but also on their commanding and powerful live performances. The album has been the impetus for the band’s reformation. When they called it a day in 1998, Hunters & Collectors was a multiplatinum selling band, with five top 10 albums boasting classic songs like Throw Your Arms Around Me, Talking to a Stranger, Holy Grail, When the River Runs Dry, Do You See What and l See, Say Goodbye. In 2005 the band was inducted by Peter Garrett into the ARIA Hall of Fame. In March 2009 the Sound Relief benefit concert at the MCG brought them temporarily out of retirement, with a set that won rave reviews. Mark Seymour has continued pursuing a vibrant and successful solo career but he is currently looking forward to rejoining his former band mates Jack Howard, Michael Waters, Jeremy Smith, Doug Falconer, Barry Palmer and John Archer for their longawaited reformation tour. Hunters & Collectors will appear at

The Hill Winery in Geelong on Saturday 25 January, All Saints Estate in Rutherglen on Saturday 5 February and the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on Friday 11 April with support from The Panics. Tickets for all shows are on sale on 11 October via Ticketmaster on 136 100. Visit www.frontiertouring.com for full details. *** FILM producer Jerry Bruckheimer will go ahead with plans for a sequel to the 1986 movie Top Gun despite the death of the first film’s director, Tony Scott. Executives at Paramount Pictures appeared ready to shelve the movie out of respect for Scott’s legacy, but Bruckheimer has now renewed his promise to complete the sequel. Tom Cruise is keen to reprise his role as fighter pilot Maverick and the film shooting location has been set for Nevada. *** Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters has spoken for the first time about his fall out with other band members. Waters says he regrets taking legal action against his former band mates. Waters told the BBC he was wrong to have

tried to stop the continued use of the band’s name after he left Pink Floyd in 1985. Waters founded the band with Syd Barrett, Nick Mason and Richard Wright in 1965. David Gilmour joined in 1967. Pink Floyd was one of the most celebrated rock bands of all time, causing so much excitement in the UK in the late sixties by being one of the first bands to come on stage armed with a light show. They were one of the first English groups to play San Franciscostyle psychedelic rock. They finally took on the world with their monumental album Dark Side of the Moon selling more than 2 million copies worldwide and still selling well to this day as newly indoctrinated fans continue to buy Floyd albums from the past. Pink Floyd has remained high on the rungs of rockdom’s finest. *** GREAT family fun day ‘Feast & Family Field Day’ will be held at the Morning Star Estate on 5 and 6 October, featuring over 70 stalls including farming demonstrations, vintage cars, music, food, beer and wine, cooking demonstrations, animal farms, face painting, a CFA display, craft activities and much more. Parking is free. The event

nesia, Thailand and Egypt, anywhere other than Australia. And if I stretch my average brain I convince myself that capitalism is in fact all about democracy and nothing to do with plutocracy. *** THE ancient Greeks, after examining human corpses, decided our brain was a cooling mechanism for our body and thought and emotions came from the heart. Science might understand something about the brain but there is much we don’t know, and consciousness heads the list. Science hasn’t been able to find or prove the existence of this God in me but it does not mean it doesn’t exist. Can we predict future actions of the brain? Anyone married for more than a week knows it cannot, and any parent will tell you predicting the thoughts of children is impossible. When a human being dies science finds a way to re-use the organs but I doubt it will ever find a way to reinsert a brain, or a soul thankfully. For the record my brain froze around the same time as hanky panky ended. *** MY support for the Labor Party began with a philosophical commitment to

social justice. Well, not quite; more like family influence to the point where I began to think for myself on reaching 60. The problem is recognising this same commitment amidst the disunity with Labor’s leadership squabbles and “on the run” policies unconnected with social justice. Presently Tanya Plibersek and Mark Dreyfus stand out for consistency but for the life of me I fail to see how Labor’s policies on the boat people and single mothers lined up with social justice. On the other hand the messages coming from the likes of arts minister George Brandis and his media friends (Andrew Bolt, Janet Albrechtsen) not to mention the IPA are further removed from my thinking. Nothing a “nobody” can do other than wait, watch and hope for at least one inspirational leader rising to the top. And then there’s the mess at the Collingwood Football Club. Thank God for summer? Hah! No, thank God for Foreign Correspondent (ABC TV) for giving me perspective. *** INDIA has this traditional teaching method of rote learning producing

The album features a brilliant selection of classic songs including Dream A Little Dream with Lily Allen, I Wan’na Be Like You with Olly Murs and Little Green Apples with Kelly Clarkson. Brand new tracks include Soda Pop with Michael Buble and Swings Both Ways written and performed with Rufus Wainwright. The album sees Robbie reunite with producer Guy Chambers, with whom he wrote 6 new songs. Other tracks include Puttin’ on the Ritz, Minnie the Moocher and Shine My Shoes. “First of all, I wanted to do a swing album because I wanted to do a swing album,” Robbie has said. “I always knew I’d do another and I think now is the perfect time to do it. I’m enjoying showbiz and I’m enjoying my life and my understanding of where I am now is that there needs to be an event every time I bring out a record.” Robbie’s previous swing album Swing When You’re Winning was re-

A Grain of Salt AS an avid viewer of murder mysteries I’m often confronted with dialogue along the lines of “God will punish” or “answering to God”. I have no answers as to the antics of other people but I suspect (allowing for degree) we are all sinners and I’m certain we are all hypocrites. So if it’s true about God we all must face up to our Register of Bad Deeds, hoping credits are included as a form of balance. I quite like the idea, a future type of thing, a rose garden with prickles, but the real plus (after spending my allotted time “in my room”) would be finding some answers. Such a lovely positive thought for spring. And if not, blankety blank, a noboby’s nose knows sort of thing. *** I CAN convince myself to ignore the greed of bank shareholders by way of housing mortgages, credit cards and bank fees. I can ignore the impossibility of renters ever affording a deposit for a first home and the ever widening wealth gap. I can convince myself that all superannuation funds are safe, the real crooks being overseas in Greece, Indo-

many thousands of graduates but in fact many of them unemployable in the real world. I used the rote system to pass accountancy in the 60s, came out qualified but knew nothing of the reality for another five years. An accounts clerk with a year’s experience knew twice more than I. Sure, it helps pass exams, but teaches very little. The same applies to acting, as in learning a part. Short term maybe for television in a small role, but even then it shows up. In becoming a full blown character, particularly on the stage, never. Rote learning initially may be of some use, but until you understand the meaning of what the words are saying you will proceed no further. *** BEAUTIFUL Rye cemetery (where I’m booked in) is running out of space, soon the excellent staff will no longer have a job, which is where FORCE (Friends of the Rye Cemetery) come into play. Presently the Rye Primary kddies look after the children’s section and FORCE helps during school holidays but they need help now and into the future.

Sorras and Old Boys the ones to beat PROVINCIAL By IT Gully THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association’s Provincial grade season begins on Saturday and promises to be one of the most exciting yet, with many teams capable of making the finals. There wasn’t a lot between the top seven sides last season while the likes of Rye and Mt Martha were capable of big things on a good day. Langwarrin comes into the competition after four seasons and three straight grand final appearances in District grade. The side will be straight into the mix. Reigning premier Peninsula Old Boys will obviously be one of the teams to beat yet again. The Old Boys scraped into the top four last season, nudging out Crib Point, but brought their best cricket to the table in the finals to win the silverware. The team knocked over Baxter in the semi-final before easily beating Sorrento in the grand final. Handy bowler Justin Parkes joins the Old Boys, which already had a very good outfit under the guidance of Glen Prendergast. With the likes of Dylan O’Mally, Wade Pelzer and John Forrest, as well

as exciting youngsters Eivion Bowen and Zac Fillipone (although Fillipone is injured and will miss the season’s start), the Old Boys again will be close to the top of the tree. Sorrento will be looking to go one better this season. Former Victorian Bushranger Nick Jewell steps up as captain. Despite rumours to the contrary, Anthony Blackwell is going around again, while Nick Davern is the coach. The Sorras have lost David Smith and Klint James, and they’ll be looking for improvement from youngsters Andrew “AJ” King, Jedd Falck, Liam O’Connor and Leigh Poholke. There is no question that with Jewell and Blackwell, the Sorras will be right in the mix yet again. Baxter is rolling the dice for a big season. There was talk of retirements but all last season’s players are fronting again. Adrian Mack appears to be finishing his senior career at Baxter, turning his back on an opportunity to play at Langwarrin. Baxter’s top-liners – led by captain Daniel Warwick, with the addition of Dale Irving, Sam Woolsgrove, Darren Uccello, Adrian Mack, Travis Sawers and Shane McComb – will see the side challenge again. The team finished a game clear on

top last season with nine wins and two losses (including an outright victory) but crashed out of the finals. The club needs to find some more up and coming stars. Big things were expected of Mornington last season and although it finished in third place, it too crashed out of the finals, beaten by Sorrento. Matt Foon will coach the team, but Robert Hearn has been lost to Premier cricket. It’s a massive year for the Doggies, who are celebrating their 150th anniversary year. Ben Clements (Wally Wedgewood medallist) and Anthony Gapes are obviously the keys with the bat. Mornington will be looking for improvement from young bowlers Matt Harper, Jack Heseltine and Glenn Wood. There is also plenty of chatter around that the Dogs may unleash an overseas player. New club Langwarrin is expected to be competitive. Mark Cooper is again at the helm after winning the flag in his first season, while top-liners in Andy Johnson, Dwayne Doig and David Ross are looking for big seasons. Nathan Volpe returns after coaching Seaford and left-arm seamer Andy McMannis joins the Kangas. Scott Phillips is obviously the big in

for Long Island, returning to his home club after a few years at Hastings. The Islanders are celebrating their 40th season in the MPCA. Paul Hartle, Justin Bridgeman, Greg Lamb and skipper Andrew Tweedle are the obvious stars, while the club will be looking for continued improvement from Aaron Paxton. Michael Burke isn’t playing this season, looking to have a monster football season in 2014. Mt Eliza has Jason Mathers as coach and Lyle House as captain. House missed a lot of cricket last season with an ankle injury. Tom Baron has returned from Frankston Peninsula, which is another big gain for the Mounties. Tim Strickland and Scott Creffield will be keys to the Mounties’ success this season, while Justin Grant will be a loss, due to a knee reconstruction following a football injury. Corey Harris is a key signing for Mt Martha, crossing from Rye. Chris Holcombe is not playing this season and David Sands is suffering from a serious illness. Youngsters Jordan Pomeroy and Mitch Darville will be ones to watch. Luke Chapple is the headline recruit for Crib Point, which missed out on the finals by just half a game last season.

An outright loss really cost the Magpies in 2012-13. Luke Herrington is again the man in charge, while the Pies will also rely on Glenn Barclay, Henry Dolphin, Matty Blake and Brad Davidson. Heatherhill struggled to get its best players consistently on the park last season. Its list was better than four wins and seven losses. From all reports the Hills are up for a much improved season. With Jedd Sutton coming from Baxter and Nathan Martin returning from Frankston Peninsula, there’s no reason to argue. Word is the Hills have picked up a useful bowler from Ballarat. Gun quick Ben Frith is trying his luck at Premier level. There’s not a lot of news coming out of Moorooduc. Bobby Wilson will again be in charge, on and off the field, while Miles Cordeux will be his deputy. The Ducs will rely on Dave Greensmith with the ball and Ben Williams with the bat. Success will come from the ability of the bottom six players supporting the big top five. At Rye, Darren Groves goes around again as coach. The Demons will feel the loss of Corey Harris to the Reds. They will rely again on Rhys Wynne, Tommy Barrand and Justin King.

District cricket set for sensational season DISTRICT By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula District cricket was sensational viewing last season and there is no reason to believe it will not be the same in 2013-14. There wasn’t a lot between the top nine sides last season, although eventual premier Langwarrin proved to be at the top of the tree. There were just two wins separating fourth-placed Baden Powell and ninthplaced Boneo, while Main Ridge was just one game further back in tenth. Frankston YCW was relegated to Sub-district after a winless season and Seaford is the new side in the competition. Consistency will be the key this season for all clubs. Runner-up last season was Somerville and the club again will be looking to get the best out of its list. Ryan McQueen crossed from Seaford to Somerville but returned to Seaford a few weeks back.

Andrew West remains the coach and Somie again has a strong batting lineup with Keith Burdett, Ben Delaney and Nick Marshall. It is a dependable top order. Aaron Kaddatz was superb last season with the ball and, with Russell Wilkes, will lead the attack. Carrum has lost run-machine Dan Polson to Cranbourne. The Lions finished in second place last season and will be looking for continued improvement from their youngsters, led by Jackson Fry and Lachy Dobson. Shaun Foster and Josh Dent will lead the batting. Baden Powell is looking strong after winning the T20 competition. The Braves will again be led by Rhys Elmi (captain) and Elia Carter, while Josh Waldron is expected to join his teammates in round 3. Anjula Perera is back and John Harrison, dare we say, is going around again. Delacombe Park has been the big underachiever in the past couple of seasons, last season especially.

Chris Brittain goes around again as captain and a fitter and stronger Simon Dignan will be important. The Parkers’ bowling will be led by Varun Singh and Shane Deal. The new kid on the block is Ballam Park, which was relegated from Provincial last season after being beaten outright five times. MPCA legend Rob Bedford heads the club as coach and Matty Roach is captain. The Knights have picked up a few players and should be more competitive than previous seasons. Boneo coach Leigh Lowry has the youngsters training hard. The batting will be led by Ryan Jellie, Alex Petrovic, Jayden Sholl and Cam Williams. Williams will also be a prime bowler, along with Leigh Janssen. Pines might be the ones to jump out of the box. The Piners have lured Josh Wilcox back from Frankston Peninsula, while Jake Prosser crosses from

Langwarrin as assistant coach. Former Langwarrin premiership player Jeremy Weare has come out of retirement. These players will be nice additions to the likes of Ricky Ramsdale, Brett Hudgson, Brett Remy, Harley PeaceStirling and Nick Wilcox. Scott Millar returns to Main Ridge after a stint at Rosebud. Ian Rossborough has had a very good preseason and the likes of Gareth Wyatt and Jason Albress are stars. Keep a look out for youngster James Abbott. Seaford Tigers have kept all of their Sub-district premiership stars. The Tigers have outstanding juniors who will be a year older and wiser. Two-time medallist Corey Hand will lead the side, and the Tigers have also picked up a couple of handy types, including Jason Hartigan from Skye and former Melbourne District player Kane Perry. Scott Philips is a massive loss for Hastings, who single-handedly won the Blues games last season.

The team will rely on Luke Hewitt to step up. Isi Dias will lead the bowling and will be supported by Langwarrin recruit Ben Johnson, who took five wickets in last year’s grand final win. Ben King is also a very good recruit from French Island. Flinders finished eighth last season, two games outside the four. Dwayne Field remains as captaincoach and the likes of Shane Beggs, Tom Clements, Tim Clarke and Andy Power will be running around again. Simon Parrott may also return after a big injury last season. A month ago it appeared Seaford was in some strife with many players said to be leaving. However, at this stage it appears only Nathan Volpe and Andy McMannis have gone to Langwarrin. Damien Lawrence (captain), Nick Simpfendorfer and Ryan McQueen are all staying.

Subbies will be tight at top of table SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully MPCA Sub-district cricket this season is expected to again be tight at the top of the table. Balnarring was the bolter last season, finishing on top, and Rosebud went into the finals as favourite. Red Hill was also expected to challenge for the title, which was eventually won by Seaford Tigers, the side coming from nowhere to “steal” the flag. Tyabb was the unlucky team to miss out on the four while Pearcedale and

Tootgarook weren’t that far off the pace. French Island is no longer in the competition after winning just two games last season, which eliminates the bye. Here’s how the clubs shape up for the coming season: Rosebud – The Buds lose Scott Millar to Main Ridge. He snared 35 wickets last season. Scott Clark also departs. Darren Kerr will be in charge and Dean Collins has crossed from Rye. The Doughty brothers will be relied on to have a big year. Red Hill – Simon Dart is playing

another season for the Hillmen and will be ably supported by Glenn Collett and Nick Wood. The club will be looking for continued improvement from Riley Shaw, Matt Merrifeld and Lincoln Toy. Balnarring – The club should be in the mix once again, although Luke Chapple is a big loss to Crib Point. There’s still a lot to like with Chris Murphy as coach, Brendan Saker in the middle order, the exciting Tom Hilet, and Jacob Cook leading the attack. Tyabb – The club has lost Nick Taranto to Frankston Peninsula. Luke

Rus is the key to success with Nathan Hudgson leading the attack. Pearcedale – The Dales should improve under new coach Chris Dew, who has crossed from Frankston Peninsula. The preseason has been strong with Travis Unthank, Mitch Andrew and Aidan Bock carrying the bowling. Calvin Bypost and Matt Cousland are keys with the bat. Tootgarook – David Smith is a great recruit from Sorrento. The Tooters also keep extremely important players Matt Whelan, Luke Thompson and Ash Rickard. Frankston YCW – The Stonecats

will improve this season after being relegated from District cricket. They have a host of young stars led by Jack Greenwood. Captain-coach Paul Bradley will give the kids every opportunity. Skye – The club has lost coach Jason Hartigan, but Leigh Smith steps up as captain-coach. Dromana – Mark Whitehead is at the helm of the Hoppers. Ben Slocombe is a big loss. Carrum Downs – The side will be looking to improve on two wins. Steve Worker remains and Chamera Perera is clearly the key bowler.

is no stranger to coaching. He is a Magpie through and through.

Sorrento race is on Artico now a Kanga DROMANA premiership coach Gavin Artico has returned to where it all began â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Langwarrin. Artico started his coaching career with the Kangas in 2005, winning a premiership in his first season. While many people were speculating the deal between Langwarrin and Artico was done two months ago, it was only announced last Saturday at the Langwarrin end-of-season dinner. The big tip was Frankston YCW but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a job Artico seriously considered.

Tigers on prowl DROMANA offered Nepean League coach of the year Nick Claringbold the coaching position vacated by Artico, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bolderâ&#x20AC;? said no thanks. Claringbold and his wife are expecting a child and he has decided to take a year off for personal reasons.

Eagles sign Hirst SOMERVILLE has signed David â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buddaâ&#x20AC;? Hirst as coach. As reported a few weeks ago, Hirst was also keen on coaching his home club Karingal but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered. Hirst last played at Somerville two seasons ago. It is expected he will bring Karingal teammate Cal Dixon with him, while outgoing coach Leigh Stewart is finishing his career at the Eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stewieâ&#x20AC;? plays his 300th in round one.

Pies appoint â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Annasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; AG77776

DWAYNE Annable is the new coach at Crib Point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annasâ&#x20AC;? has done the job before and

IT appears there are plenty of hands going up for the Sorrento coaching gig. We reported last week that Leigh Treeby and Troy Schwarze were keen on the job. We also hear Ryan Jeffrey is keen to take on the role. Late last week the rumour was doing the rounds that Sorrento was close to appointing a retired Essendon player. David Hille certainly has links with the peninsula, being an old boy of the Peninsula School in Mt Eliza where his father was headmaster. Sorrento advertised the job in the Herald Sun last weekend.

Buds are training ROSEBUD has begun preseason training â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not under the direction of coach Nick Jewell. Jewell said the boys had taken it upon themselves to start preparing for 2014 early, supported by the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness adviser, who also happens to be a former Richmond and Carlton fitness guru as well as the coach of the Australian weightlifting team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just two points away from a grand final, so I can understand their desire,â&#x20AC;? Jewell said. Jewell said Matty Payne was still a 50/50 chance of playing next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends versus lifestyle in Queensland. Hopefully he stays and helps us have another crack next season,â&#x20AC;? Jewell said. Rosebud has also re-signed its forwardruckman Ben Dwyer, who has been coaching in Gippsland, along with key defender Ben Shelton. Both have played with the Buds before. Gun Sorrento under-18 player Luke Shultz has also signed with the Buds after a year off. He is a Glen Boyington-type player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also hope to sign a couple more in the coming weeks,â&#x20AC;? Jewell said.
