Pier first base for tourism “WHAT a catch.” That’s the word from the Western Port Tourist & Visitor Information Centre after taking up residence in new digs last week. The centre has moved from Dominion Hill Gifts in Salmon St to the old Fish Shed on the Hastings jetty. “This is the next exciting phase in the development of Western Port tourism in securing this permanent position as our home in the future,” Western Port Tourism president Del Skinner said. The privately owned tourist centre had been run as a community service by Lisa Dixon and Ken Ingersoll and supported through a “wonderful team of volunteers”. It is now being gifted to Western Port Tourism Inc. “We look forward to watching the association grow, promote and provide the ongoing service of information to visitors and tourists alike,” Mr Skinner said. “The promise by Mornington Peninsula Tourism - along with the ongoing support from the council should now see this project grow into an ongoing legacy for the community of Western Port.” Mr Skinner thanked Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Parks Victoria’s Phil Fowler for helping them “realise the dream”.

Boom gate still not fixed Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au METRO Trains has not repaired faulty boom gate triggers on the Stony Point train line almost six months after problem was first revealed. The fault emerged in early June when a single-carriage train failed to trigger boom gates although it triggered the flashing lights and bells. Drivers also reported boom gates opening while

trains were stopped at nearby stations ("Line call after gates glitch", The News, 2/9/14). The first fault was reported on 6 June and boom gates malfunctioned again on 20 June and 14 July. On 1 August, Metro ordered that no single-carriage trains run on the line until the problem had been identified and fixed but The News understands this came after drivers refused to decouple two-carriage trains at Stony Point to make single-carriage trains for off-peak

services. Buses have replaced three services each week day since the incidents. In September, Metro stated one incident occurred between Frankston and Baxter, and boom gates swung open twice at Crib Point. The Crib Point boom gate was the first to open when a train was in the vicinity and malfunctioned again on 14 July. In September, Metro spokeswoman Larisa Tait said pedestrians and road users had not been in any danger of being struck by a train when

the gates malfunctioned. "Each time, the driver immediately reported the fault to Metro train control, and the service has either been cancelled on the spot or continued with extreme caution after the boom gates came down with the service terminating at the end of the line," she said. "There have not been any instances where a train has travelled through a level crossing with the booms in the up position, and there has never been any risk of collision with cars or pe-

destrians when a train has proceeded at extreme caution." Metro issued an internal alert to train drivers to proceed with caution along the Stony Point line while the cause of the boom gates malfunction was being investigated but it is now almost six months since buses replaced three off-peak services – the 5.41am Stony Point to Frankston service, 11.04am Stony Point to Frankston and 6.35pm Frankston to Stony Point.

Full steam ahead as toys bring smiles Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ONE thousand toys for 1000 smiles is the mantra of the HMAS Cerberus Navy Steam Club, which is supporting this year’s St Vincent De Paul Christmas Gift Appeal. Its members have set out to collect 1000 toys for the appeal and will deliver them on 9 December to St Vinnie’s aboard the steam club’s 1923 Foden steam wagon. The wagon will travel – slowly - over the West Gate Bridge from the city where the toys are assembled to St Vinnie’s western suburb’s depot. Warrant Officer Ian Waller, a long standing member of the steam club, is a firm believer in supporting the community and encouraging generosity. “Knowing these presents are going to worthy recipients, and are so appreciated, is wonderful. This also bonds the Cerberus community as we are working together to help others. “A lot of people take Christmas and gift-giving for granted but some people are doing it tough out there. Knowing we can help someone receive something unexpected is the best feeling.” The Cerberus Junior Sailors' Welfare Committee has answered the call for help by donating $1000 to the appeal. With this donation, WO Waller is confident they’re on track to reach their goal, with the money expected to buy around 50 toys. “We just did a tally and have 600 toys so far, meaning we are on track to have 1000 by on 9 December. We are

Tennis market HASTINGS tennis club is running a Christmas market on Saturday 6 December from 8am at 54 Marine Parade, Hastings. Items for sale will include new and “pre-loved” items, socks, jewellery, books, cycling equipment, clothing, a pa system, pin board on legs, electrical goods, luggage, travel bags, stationary, microphones, furniture and bric a brac. There will be a sausage sizzle and drinks.

thrilled that people are so generous.” The club collected 600 toys for St Vinnie’s in 2012 in the steam wagon, with WO Waller saying the six tonne vehicle could manage only 5km/h up the West Gate Bridge incline. “She’ll carry 200kg of coal and 600kg of wood for the trip,” he said. One of three similar vehicles in Australia, the wagon was used for heavy haulage in the Hunter Valley, NSW, until 1969 when it was rescued as a wreck and restored by the Navy. It can carry six tonnes of fuel on-board and another six tonnes in its trailer.

In other Cerberus news, a ceremonial divisions and combined RMIT graduation parade will be held at HMAS Cerberus on Friday. Several hundred sailors, soldiers, airmen and women will parade in their ceremonial uniforms. A high ranking officer will review the parade and give an official address. Also on parade will be the newest Navy graduates from RMIT. Last week the AFL Flying Boomerangs ran a teamwork/personal leadership activity on the base. The program, for Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islanders aged 14 -15, is supported by the Coles AFL Indigenous Program. The squad of 25 was chosen by AFL talent managers based on school attendance, leadership skills and football ability. It follows the 2014 National KickStart under-15 championships held at Coffs Harbour. Also last week, 55 crew members from a visiting New Zealand Navy ship, HMNZS Te Kaha, arrived at HMAS Cerberus to see the facilities and take part in a friendly sports match.

HASTINGS Junior Football Club in Marine Pde will hold a Christmas family fun day 11am-3pm on Sunday 7 December. New members are welcome to join the club, with registration for next season open at the fun day. A $10 discount is available for those signing up on the day. Santa will arrive between 12.301pm. There will be a sausage sizzle, popcorn, fairy floss, raffles, DJ, lucky dips, footy match, games and other activities.

Hand made A MARKET selling hand made goods will be held 10am-2pm this weekend at St Paul’s Anglican Church, corner Bay and High streets, Frankston. This is the second visit to Frankston by Nanna Cool Markets and features products made by more than 30 artisans.

Christmas carols EVERYON is invited to pre-Christmas entertainment and carols on the Village Green at Rosebud 8pm9.30pm Saturday 13 December event, with soloist Cindy Pritchard and the Southern Peninsula Concert Band.

IT’S no secret to residents and visitors alike, but the international National Geographic Traveller magazine is now extolling the tourism benefits of the Mornington Peninsula. The peninsula has, along with Mont St Michael in France, Zermatt in Switzerland and the Mergui Achipelago in Myanmar, been included on the magazine’s Best Trips 2015 list. The article is illustrated with a picture of bathing boxes. The area from Frankston to Portsea

is described as a recommended destination for lovers food and natural beauty: “The Peninsula distils the flavour of down-under in one boot shaped cape…” Tracey Cooper, head of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board, believes the compact nature of the region and its diverse collection of “experiences” has put the peninsula ahead of “iconic” Australian destinations. “Local and international visitors are enjoying the diverse discoveries here.

We offer paddock to plate dining, world class wines and a chance to meet growers, makers and producers along with swimming with dolphins, snorkelling with leafy sea dragons, bushwalking, beachcombing or thermal hot springs,” Ms Cooper said. “We’re so proud of our home, we love to share it and relish seeing visitors of all ages connect with the people and the place – so this recognition by National Geographic of all that we have to offer is a wonderful honour.”

MP no chicken when it comes to ladders IT has been a while since Hastings MP Neale Burgess worked in the chicken industry, but in the last week before Saturday’s state poll he was willing to climb a ladder while announcing government help to plan the future for the state’s most eaten meat. When in his early 20s Mr Burgess worked for Somerville-based Inghams Enterprises, now the largest private employer on the Mornington Peninsula. At the photographer’s suggestion Mr Burgess climb the ladder of a feed silo at the Moorooduc chicken farm, just one the positions politicians have to put themselves in when trying to convince voters of their worth. Mr Burgess was the Donaghmore Downs chicken farm in Moorooduc announcing the government would contribute $25,000 for the Victorian Chicken Meat Council to draw up a 10-year strategic plan for the industry. Alan Wilson, VCMC president and boss of Inghams, thanked the government “for its support, and ongoing dialogue”. “The VCMC expects that the plan will detail the infrastructure, planning, and investment required to make Victoria a cost competitive state for chicken meat production,” Mr Wilson said. Planning controls have virtually ruled out any new chicken farms on the peninsula and producers are looking further afield, to places like Koo Wee Rupp where suitable properties are more isolated. Mr Wilson said Australians each consume about 43.5 kg of chicken meat a year, “far above that of other meats”.

Chicken talk: Hastings MP Neale Burgess climbs a few rungs after announcing a $25,000 government grant towards a strategy for the chicken industry. He is pictured with chiecken farmer Michael Shaw, Vicki Gaudrio, Victorian Chicken Meat Council president Allan Wilson, and Allen Bullen. Picture: Gary Sissons

He said the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences predicts the lower-priced chicken meat will remain the most consumed meat in the country. “Preliminary research work on the strategic plan indicates that production demand in Victoria could increase by 32 per cent over the 10 years to 2025, requiring an additional 42 million chickens to be grown and processed,” Mr Wilson said. To achieve this about $840 million would need to be spent on new and expanded farms in Victoria. “The industry seeks a partnership

approach with state and local governments so that Victoria does not lose this investment, development, and employment to the other states,” Mr Wilson said. “Currently, Victoria is not a cost competitive location.” For his part, Mr Burgess saw his time working for Inghams as being worthy of mention during his maiden speech to Parliament on 20 December 2006. “Having worked for Inghams Enterprises - the second-largest employer in the electorate - for five years, I developed a strong understanding

of the challenges that face small and large businesses and the people who rely on them for their livelihoods,” Mr Burgess said. Since then BlueScope has reduced its activities and Inghams has taken over the number one employer spot. Mr Burgess also saw success, being re-elected in 2010 with a 10.8 per cent majority over his Labor opponent Steve Hosking. Boundaries changes are estimated to have reduced this lead to 9.6 per cent. Mr Burgess is again being opposed by Mr Hosking. Keith Platt

Safety first: Independent candidate wants a safe place to cross the road in Bittern.

Crossing wait A PEDESTRIAN crossing in Bittern is years overdue and the chances of another fatality will only increase in the warmer months, local independent candidate Robert Andersson says. He said the Bittern community had been calling for a crossing at Frankston-Flinders Rd, adjacent to the shopping centre and train station, since the death of an elderly pedestrian in 2008. Mr Andersson says he has campaigned for a crossing at the “notorious location” since 2010, when a schoolgirl was injured while crossing the road. He said sitting member Neale Burgess has tabled a 233-petition supporting a crossing in 2011. “It’s not good enough. Why is residents’ safety not a higher priority of the state government?” he asked. “People using the bike track cross here to have a coffee or use the shops, and there’s increased foot-and-car traffic on Sundays when Bittern Market is operating. “It’s downright dangerous for commuters and pedestrians. It’s ridiculous that the issue has been talked about for years and we still have no safe place to cross to access services. “Bittern is a growing suburb. The State Government is aware of this issue and needs to deliver a safe option before another accident occurs.”

Boom gate repairs delayed

Working order: Lights flashing and boom gates down, the Stony Point-Frankston train passes through the Graydens Rd, Hastings, level crossing. Picture: Keith Platt

Continued from Page 1 The Rail Tram and Bus Union says Metro and V/Line have known about the problem of single-carriage country trains not triggering boom gates since 2012. Jim Chrysostomou, assistant secretary of the union’s locomotive division, said V/Line had stopped using single-carriage trains after several incidents. Repairs and upgrades of track circuitry had been completed under the regional rail link project but not on the Stony Point line, he said. “We’ve had several meetings with Metro asking it to upgrade the line’s track circuitry,” he said. Buses replacing trains has again raised the spectre of a permanent end for passenger services but Mr Chrysostomou said the line remained profitable.

BlueScope Steel uses the line to transport steel products to and from its Western Port plant. The company sold slab steel ship Iron Monarch for scrap in April 2012. The 125th anniversary of the rail line was marked in September but there was a near-death experience in 1981 when the government shut it down. Locals “hijacked” the train when it arrived at Crib Point for the last time, and blocked its movement for three weeks before the government backed down and reinstated the service. Rail safety on the line was brought into sharp focus in August 2007 when Tyabb truck driver Geoff Young was killed at the Bungower Rd crossing, which had flashing lights and bells but no boom gates. Five months later Kay Stanley, a

pregnant teacher on her way to Tyabb Preschool, was killed at the Mornington-Tyabb Rd crossing, which also had flashing lights and bells but no gates. Boom gates were due to be installed 19 months earlier but had been delayed due to disagreement between authorities over moving a gas pipe. Installation of the boom gates started the day after Ms Stanley died and was completed on 18 February 2008. The Labor government then fasttracked installing boom gates at Park Lane and Bungower Rd in Somerville, Urquhart Crescent in Bittern, HMAS Cerberus main entrance in Crib Point, and Disney Street in Crib Point, finally completing installation of boom gates on all 20 level crossings. Metro Trains has been contacted for comment.

Parties full of promises on way to poll Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE two main political parties are in full battle mode during the final week of the state election campaign. Voters go to the polls on Saturday for what many pundits say will be another closely fought election, which Victoria has experienced several times in the past 15 years since the shock win by Labor's Steve Bracks over the Liberal Party's Jeff Kennett in 1999. Bracks formed a minority government with three independents but in 2002 won 18 more seats and decimated the Liberal Party. Opinion polls have the Labor Opposition ahead of the Liberal-Nationals Coalition, which won the 2010 election with 45 seats to Labor's 43. After the Coalition appointed a Speaker, it had a one-seat majority in the Parliament – at least until rebel Liberal MP Geoff Shaw left the party in March 2013 and held the balance of power for 20 months. Labor has only won a seat on the peninsula once during those years – when Labor's Rosy Buchanan narrowly defeated the Liberal Party's Neale Burgess at the 2002 election soon after the Hastings electorate was created. Mr Burgess defeated Ms Buchanan four years later and increased his margin in 2010 over ALP candidate Steve Hosking who is again taking on the Liberal MP. It was a temporary blip in a region that has traditionally favoured the conservative parties with environment

minister Greg Hunt enjoying strong support in his federal seat of Flinders. The three Mornington Peninsula state seats of Nepean (southern peninsula), Mornington and Hastings are held by Liberal MPs – Martin Dixon, David Morris and Neale Burgess respectively. Their ALP rivals are Carolyn Gleixner, Rebecca Wright and Steve Hosking. The News asked the two Hastings electorate candidates for their final election commitments and promises. Neale Burgess (Liberal Party) Hastings: $1 million to bringing the submarine Otama ashore, expanding 782 and 783 bus routes to include the north end of High St, Hastings, and $100,000 for netball lights and electronic scoreboard. Crib Point: $100,000 for two netball courts and lights. Tyabb: $100,000 for netball lights, changerooms and scoreboard. Somerville: $250,000 for lights for night football and cricket. Pearcedale: $250,000 for lights for night football and cricket. Langwarrin: $500,000 for Lloyd Park sports facilities upgrade. Completing shared path missing link between Golf Links Rd/Peninsula Link trail and Somerville railway station. Devon Meadows: $110,000 to upgrade 1st Devon Meadows scout hall.

ment, to be critical. With employment comes self-respect, which leads to a growth in personal and community pride as well as possible community involvement. The other thing jobs do is provide a light at the end of the education tunnel. Our youth unemployment is too high and some students may feel education to be a waste of time without the reward of a good full-time job. Jobs give people access to home loans and a positive future in the area they may have grown up in. I intend to grow these jobs in the tourism field, hoping to introduce cruise ships and ferry services into and around Western Port. The influx of visitors to our communities would put money directly into our small businesses, which could then create employment and the domino effect follows. With jobs comes a lack of time or energy to be out and about at later hours causing havoc in the streets and neighbourhoods and so I expect to see the level of crime reduce. It would follow that many of our parks and tracks would need upgrading to cope with the tourist influx and these would include an upgrade to the bike paths and reserves. If elected, as a member of a Labor government I will put my hand in for a good piece of the pie in regards to the $100 million sports club upgrade promise for Victoria. My hand also will go up for funds allocated to upgrading our schools, hospitals, etc.

Second try: Labor’s Steve Hosking is trying for the second time in a row to unseat Liberal MP Neale Burgess from Hastings. Mr Burgess has a 9.6 per cent majority and first won the seat in 2006 - on his second bid for the title.

Mr Burgess still has not announced the $1 million grant to Peninsula Aero Club for its Tyabb airfield, which was

revealed by The Australian and the ABC in early October. The money comes from the state government's Regional Aviation Fund, designed to assist with the "upgrading of regional public use airport infrastructure across the state". The grant is controversial as Victoria's Aviation Industry Minister Gordon Rich-Phillips is a member of the aero club and stores his light plane nearby but said he was not involved in the decision to approve the grant, which the club said would be used to upgrade taxiways, lighting and other facilities.

Robb swims into nationals PENINSULA Pelicans Swimming Club in Hastings is celebrating its first swimmer reaching national level. He is Angus Robb, 18, who recently won the 200 metre breaststroke event at the Firbank spring long course meet at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. His time of two minutes 33.04 seconds qualified him to race at the Australian Age Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre in April. Head coach Jess Bird said Angus’s achievement reflected his – and his fellow swimmers’ - dedication. “Angus has worked so hard for this. He has had his sights set on the nationals for a while now. To finally achieve it is exciting, and shows that hard work pays off,” Ms Bird said. “It is a great morale booster for Angus to achieve this kind of success. He still has a long way to go in his swimming career, but his determination in the pool - while balancing Year 12 studies - has been admirable. I really look forward to seeing what the future has to hold for him. “He races against swimmers training twice as much as he does, so he’s still got a lot to give. It will be interesting to see how he fares against more seasoned swimmers from some of the best clubs in Australia.” Robb made finals in the 200 metre and 100 metre breaststroke events at the Victorian Age Championships last December, finishing sixth and seventh overall. This year he is chasing a top-three finish, and is currently less than a second off also qualifying for nationals in the 100 metre breaststroke.

New look to solve old problem

Fast finishers: Andrew Robb and teammate Caitlin Robinson have swim wins in their sights.

“For Angus to achieve success at a national meet we will need to increase his training load to be comparable with other swimmers his age. An increase in sessions, and the inclusion of gym training, will assist him in achieving his ambitious goals, and would be beneficial to all our aspiring swimmers.” Robb’s teammate Caitlin Robinson also made finals for the first time in the 50 metre freestyle at the Victorian Age Championships in December, finishing eighth overall. She has set her sights on qualifying for the nationals alongside Robb, and is currently less than a second off achieving that feat. “We are a small club representing the peninsula, without the lanes made available to us by Mornington Peninsula Shire, our swimmers would never have achieved this much success,” Ms Bird said.

“We compete against much bigger clubs with greater lane availability, training double the sessions and hours that we do. In order to be competitive at national and international levels, our swimmers need the resources allowing them to do so.” Robinson, Robb and teammate Charlie Sansom will be racing at the Victorian Age Championships in December this year. Robb plans to take a gap year next year to focus more on swimming. Peninsula Pelicans Swimming Club trains at Pelican Park Recreation Centre, Hastings. The club caters for junior swimmers of all levels who are looking to improve their technique and participate in competitive swimming.

HASTINGS Junior Football Club hopes a change of jumper will improve its “image problem”. The club has called a special general meeting at 7pm, Tuesday 9 December, at the club to vote on adopting the new jumper, which the committee believes will give the junior club a “fresh new look on the field”. President James Exon said the proposed strip change would “greatly improve the image of the Hastings Junior Football Club on and off the field and be a positive step forward in eliminating the unfounded negative stigma around our great club”. “We’ve struggled to get young players and our numbers are down, so it’s time for us to freshen up,” he said. He said other junior clubs had a low opinion of Hastings. “I don’t know

where [the poor-image perception] came from,” he said. “I have heard rumours over the years that we are a rough club and whatever yet we other none of those things. Now we want to change that image.” The club’s constitution says the “official uniform of the club” may only be changed if a three-quarters majority of eligible voters at an AGM or special general meeting approve it. The proposed new jumper will be on show at the club’s Christmas party on Sunday 7 December. Parents of all financial playing members, all registered adult members and all life members are eligible to vote. The committee is keen to encourage “as many members as possible” to attend and “have their say in the future of our great club”. Stephen Taylor

Heritage comes with a business edge David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au

CO SE N N RV O TR IC AC E TS

NO ONE should doubt that the Gandel familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision to create a legacy for the public on properties near Point Leo is heartfelt. The proposal, including a restaurant and sculpture park displaying 40 or so pieces collected over the years is central to the proposal, put to councillors recently. Heartfelt it might have been, but it was flawed. Councillors rejected it, and for good reasons. Veteran developer and philanthropist John Gandel has had a highly successful career. But his â&#x20AC;&#x153;developerâ&#x20AC;? impulse to cut a deal might have been irrepressible for a man no doubt accustomed to getting what he wants. He certainly won over shire planning staff. Artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; impressions and plans of the development show it to be, as described in the application to council, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a space for the public to be inspired, to learn, to enjoy and love â&#x20AC;Ś a fantastic development for [the peninsula] promoting tourism, heritage, culture...â&#x20AC;? As well as the art it was proposed to repair and relocate two heritage buildings, Kalimna farm cottage and a rammed earth outbuilding, as visual reminders of the landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past. A heritage overlay, HO288, answers â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prohibited uses may be permitted?â&#x20AC;? The overlay is critical to the application. More on that later. The problem was that Mr Gandel wanted his vision, but on terms outside state planning policy. He wanted to put a development that in the green

Heritage recognised: The two buildings proposed to be moved to make way for a restarant and sculpture park at Point Leo - Kalimna Cottage, left, and a rammed earth outbuilding.

wedge requires 40 hectares on just 6.6ha. To expand that 6.6ha to 40ha he proposed a legal agreement, a Section 173, that would link several Gandelowned properties to make 40ha. But, under questioning, his representative at the council meeting conceded Mr Gandel wanted to be able to sell off these titles as he chose. Presumably that could cut the combined holding to less than 40ha. It could even mean the 6.6ha itself would be sold. Mr Gandelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other option is to amalgamate several blocks to create a 40ha parcel, but he is not willing to do that: small green wedge blocks that are amalgamated cannot then be re-subdivided. This will be a central issue if Mr Gandel takes the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to VCAT. An iron-clad legal agreement creating a 40ha block might be agreeable to VCAT, and to councillors. Or VCAT may require properties to be consolidated to create one 40ha block. Such conditions may test the Gandel familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

wish to leave a legacy to the public. Development of a restaurant on green wedge land is limited by three main conditions. First, a minimum land parcel of 40 ha is required. Second, only 150 patrons at a time can be on the property (but the parking plan caters for 360 patrons). Third, the use must be in conjunction with agriculture. The Gandel proposal as put to council failed to meet the â&#x20AC;&#x153;in conjunctionâ&#x20AC;? rule because there is no agriculture on the main land parcel. The grapes are next door on a separate title. Back to the heritage overlay. The proposal, from experienced peninsula planning firm Watsons Pty Ltd, came up with an ingenious argument to try to win council approval â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the heritage overlay provision that prohibited uses can be permitted on the land. But do these prohibited uses include the Gandel restaurant-art plan, which comprehensively contravenes green wedge requirements? Lawyers could

well argue that point at VCAT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, the VCAT decision can depend on which tribunal member hears the case, as Cr Tim Wood told the council meeting. Cr Wood, a former County Court judge, was involved in the founding of VCAT and was a VCAT vice-president in its early years. The reliance on the heritage overlay is, in this writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion, akin to trying to push an elephant through a pinhole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although VCAT may disagree. If it does, the Supreme Court could subsequently disagree with VCAT. A lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; delight looms. But there is another irony, and some practical difficulties, attached to the heritage overlay. Councillors were told that about six years ago an application was refused to demolish Kalimna, a century-old farm cottage. Now it, and a rammed earth outbuilding, constitute part of the heritage relied on. The propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage aspect, recently dispensable, suddenly finds itself clutched to the Gandel bosom. The plan is to restore and relocate

the buildings. Moving a rammed earth building could be tricky. But grounds for council refusal included that the proposed move would put the buildings outside the heritage overlay and would diminish Kalimnaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage significance. The meeting was also told by Judy Walsh of the National Trust that it appeared no conservation works had been attempted on Kalimna since the demolition refusal. She recommended that the building be successfully relocated and restored â&#x20AC;&#x153;before any other works in this application be permitted to commenceâ&#x20AC;?. Beyond this issue is the proposed placement of the two buildings. Trees are proposed to be removed from what appears to be a windbreak to create access to the relocated cottage and outbuilding, tucked in behind trees and described on drawings as containing sculpture park â&#x20AC;&#x153;amenitiesâ&#x20AC;?. So much for any proud and prominent display of the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage buildings on their heritage sites. Shire planners and a Gandel representative hotly denied Kalimna was to become a toilet â&#x20AC;&#x153;amenityâ&#x20AC;?, but conceded it could house lavatories. A 1903 farm cottage was hardly likely to have had a heritage indoor lavatory, let alone one that flushed. It could be back to the drawing board for the Gandel family. Its members will probably achieve their vision â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and could have, at council â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a more sympathetic approach to heritage and a concession on amalgamating land that, to a developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instinct, must be as jarring as a nail down a blackboard.

Voters next Saturday can vote to preserve Westernport by supporting candidates who oppose the building of the container port at Hastings. The State and Federal Coalition Governments have abandoned Westernport and Phillip Island over plans to build a massive international container terminal in Westernport.The proposed container terminal will have an immediate and long term detrimental impact on jobs in the tourism and recreational boating industries that are worth $1.1B every year to the economy. The amount of dredging that would be needed to build a port in Westernport: Massive = between 20 million & 50 million cubic metres. The Channel Deepening in Port Phillip = 23 million cubic metres. Westernport will not handle this level of disturbance. Digging up mud flats would stir up mud and result in possible algae blooms, dead zones, seagrass deaths and with our strong tides would cause further erosion. The amenity offered by Westernport to the community will be lost forever. Significant help for Westernport and Phillip Island has arrived from the internationally renowned Sea Shepherd, Jeff Hansen Managing Director, of Sea Shepherd Australia said “The little penguin parade is an iconic, world renowned tourism attraction, part of the UNESCO Western Port Biosphere Reserve, it has global significance and deserves the outmost protection from the threats the Western Port Development proposes.” Further international help has arrived following a deputation by local environmentalists to RAMSAR the convention for internationally significant wetlands in Switzerland. The Ramsar Secretary General Dr Christopher Briggs arrived in Westernport on 10 November to inspect the site and talk with local environment groups. Help has arrived for Westernport and Phillip Island with the Greens and minority parties blocking the Federal Environment Minister’s Bill in the Senate to hand over Federal Environment approvals to the States. Business groups including importers, exporters and freight forwarders are also uniting to oppose the proposal. Victoria University Institute of Supply Chain and Logistics estimate over 4,000 additional trucks on the local roads, 95% increase in costs for industry and 113% increase in emissions and air quality degradation. It is incredible to have community, environmentalists, business and the logistics industry oppose the container terminal and the local State and Federal Liberal MPs turn their backs.

Catastrophic fact Hastings MP Neale Burgess is telling us about all the facts of all the benefits to be derived from the development of a huge container port at Hastings. What he is not telling is the fact that this environmental catastrophe will result in the loss of a great many jobs in our tourism industry. An industry that is a growing and thriving business that employs many local people and is creating wealth on the peninsula. If this travesty goes ahead, the attraction of a green and clean place for relaxing and holidaying will soon be a faint memory. With 3000 huge container ships going in and out of the port every year and the bow waves of these scouring away at French and Phillip island shores, the beautiful salt marshes of French Island with the breeding grounds for many shore and water fowl wrecked, and fishing a very hazardous pastime, no one will want to come to our once beautiful but now damaged Western Port. This Ramsar world heritage wetland is no place for a monument to mans greed and stupidity. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

There is only one word for the amount of dredging that would be needed to build a port in Westernport: massive. Victoria University estimates between 20million and 50million cubic metres, and this looks conservative. The famous channel deepening dredging [in Port Phillip] amounted to 23 million cubic metres and was Victoria’s biggest infrastructure project. Western Port will not handle this level of disturbance. Digging up mud flats would stir up mud and result in possible algae blooms, dead zones, seagrass deaths and, with our strong tides, would cause further erosion. What is this government’s estimate of the dredging needed for port expansion in Hastings? Why is this not released? Would it disturb the spin campaign to admit that Western Port is narrow, shallow, and fragile? Karri Giles, president Western Port Peninsula Protection Council

Here is a good joke. The Liberals have a $1000 full page ad in your current edition (18/11/14). It says “Our Jobs Plan will create more than 200,000 jobs”. However it doesn’t say over what period of time, which makes it meaningless. The Liberal Party (9654 2255) couldn’t tell me, but said the Premier’s office could on 9651 500. But they couldn’t and told me to ring the relevant minister’s office on 9651990 and a chap there actually could tell me: The 200,000 jobs are to be created over five years. So, even if you believe this, that is less than 100,000 jobs a year. Now we know that the government is determined to continue pumping at least 100,000 immigrants from overseas into Victoria each year. Not only their history, but their only notion of running an economy being perpetual crude growth makes sure of that. And anyway, Mike Lean, CEO of the Hastings Port Development Authority, has been triumphantly trumpeting that prediction all around the electorate. Now we have to assume that the government does not intend to bring 100,000 new people into Victoria and refuse to give them any of the new jobs. So, over five years, that already leaves them 300,000 jobs short without a single job for the people already here. As there are 88 electorates in Victoria minus 300,000 divided by 88 does not mean many jobs for Hastings, does it? And of course the 200,000 jobs they are bragging about on page 5 of this paper includes the jobs they can’t actually tell you about from the massive Hastings port expansion. The chap in the employment minister’s office said that new immigrants are more mouths to feed so this will mean more jobs in restaurants. Please do not believe that the Hastings port expansion will help you, your family or neighbours with jobs without looking into the irresponsible claims by it’s proponents or at least going into the port authority’s office. They will tell you as they told me in writing that it is premature to speculate about jobs from this project.

The only way to vote against the Hastings port expansion is to vote for me. A vote for any other candidate may be seen as a vote for any of their other policies. And the system is set up so that your vote will effectively end up on the Labor or Liberal pile, which I believe is wrong and undemocratic. You should not be compelled to vote for things you don’t want. Paul Madigan, French Island

Polling obstacles We received in the mail a list of polling places for the electorate of Hastings. Of the 18 places only two have full wheelchair access. The others are marked AWA (assisted wheelchair access). At the last election, working outside Hastings Hall, which has a ramp at the side but steps at the front, the officer in charge had to come outside with papers for a woman in a wheelchair to vote in the street. They couldn’t find the key to the side door. So much for privacy. This election Hastings Hall’s designation is AWA, so nothing has changed. Even the early voting centre, a factory, is marked AWA (this might also serve as fair warning to have the Hastings Hall side door key handy). The majority of polling venues are schools. Only one school, Woodlands Primary, has full wheelchair access. It’s not just about wheelchairs, but prams, walkers, crutches, braces too. With voting compulsory and expensive advertising campaigns encouraging people to be on the roll, how about ensuring everyone can exercise their democratic right to actually get in the building? That would not only benefit adults at election time but children attending school. Frances Henke, Hastings

Plan off the rails The Labor Party’s $50 million Frankston railway station upgrade is misguided. A new $20 million railway station and 750 carport and regional bus depot at the intersection of Eamosa Rd West and Moordooduc Highway, East Mornington, would remove up to 50 per cent of the cars from Frankston proper. More importantly, it would serve rapidly expanding Mornington and the racecourse. All that is required is to upgrade the existing five kilometres of railway line from Baxter, a simple task. There is little sense in providing more car parking in Mornington when they can be provided more cheaply out of town. This approach should leave about $15 million for the Frankston upgrade. Bruce Johnson (civil engineer), Monbulk

Protection applause For once I agree with Mr [Per] Carlsen (‘What has MP done?’, Letters, The News 18/11/14). Mr Invisible except at re-election time when the happy snaps come out to adorn the highway with bold promises to protect the peninsula, [Mornington MP] David Morris prefers the low profile. However, I must congratulate Mr Morris on supporting the voters in the Mt Eliza area, especially the Woodlands precinct where beautiful large gardens maintained by conscientious and environmentally responsible citizens stand as proud achievers for future generations. Without overwhelming community and ownerdriven grassroots political action, this wonderful area of 700 homes would have been thrashed by the developers and small block-minded landowners. Ian Morrison, secretary Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association

Concession alert The federal Treasurer at the last budget cut all the concessions, electricity, rates, gas, transport and water to pensioners (Joe Hockey called us leaners). These concessions amount to more than $2000 a year that pensioners can ill afford to lose. Help needed On ABC radio shortly after the announced cuts, a minister from the Napthine state government pledged to fund these concession but only for 2015. I suggest this is a most cynical act. What we “leaner’s” need is ongoing funding for these concessions. Would both parties make the commitment

before the state election that they will fund these concessions ongoing? Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Beware of Santa Daniel Andrews is playing Santa Claus with all his grandiose promises. But Victorians must not forget the wasteful desal fiasco, and the millions we’re paying for it, without a drop of water flowing. Historically, the Coalition has proved itself to be a better manager of the economy than Labor. Don’t be fooled by Santa Andrews Claus. Don’t give Labor another chance to bankrupt Victoria. Dr D Clarnette, Rosebud

Demands of Labor 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, saving 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

Wasteful approach The criticism by [Ports] Minister [David] Hodgett and Captain Dick Cox of the findings by Dr Hermione Parsons of Victoria University smack of the same flavour as the [Prime Minister Tony] Abbott and [Environment Minister Greg] Hunt farce of dealing with climate change. If the science doesn’t fit the government’s ideologically driven agenda, then all they do is belittle and vilify the messenger and its message. The fact that the waste of $110 million on this environmentally and economically unsustainable [Hastings port] expansion is being driven by the idea of development at any cost, is a monument to the cavalier attitude towards the environment by the Liberal national government, to which we have sadly become far too accustomed. The secrecy and undemocratic dealings of the present government in any matter of public infrastructure development is staggering. Without any proper transport and logistic infrastructure from Hastings to Melbourne, this is a white elephant if ever I saw one. Or is the hidden agenda to transport coal from the Latrobe Valley out of Hastings? Coal that should be left in the ground until such time when it can be used without destroying our biosphere and our children’s future. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Keep a Shaw thing While empathising with [former Frankston] mayor Darrel Taylor’s frustration at the total lack of commitment by either Labor or the Liberals to develop vital infrastructure in and around Frankston in the next term of government, I can hardly say I’m surprised. Neither [Liberal candidate Sean] Armistead nor [Labor’s Paul] Edbrooke can even bring themselves to commit to spending the $13million which was supposedly already allocated a year or two ago for improvements to Frankston station. How pathetic. Those with good memories, who have lived around here a long time, know that both major parties have neglected and, for the most part, ignored Frankston for at least 20 years. That only changed when [former Liberal now independent] Geoff Shaw appeared in 2010. Forget his flaws, he has helped to bring the place back to life. His influence is everywhere: Frankston Hospital, Frankston police, Frankston station, relocation of South-East Water and, in numerous sporting and community facilities, to

mention just a few. If you want all this to discontinue, and for Frankston to go backward again, vote Liberal or Labor. If you want to see Geoff continue to screw the sods from Spring St, this time as an independent, in order to move Frankston forward, vote for him. Michael Long, Frankston

Environment hope How refreshing to read a dispassionate, factual analysis of the “major port”(‘Hastings ‘dangerous’ as major port’, The News 4/11/14) at Hastings presented by Dr Hermione Parsons at Cowes. We who have been fighting to protect and preserve our pristine environment since the 1970s take heart. Prue Griffiths, Merricks

Call for democracy It is much better to walk alone than to follow the “herd” in the wrong direction. I can’t remember who originally said it, but this thought comes to my mind every time I think of the approaching state election. This is because people no longer believe that “a stable government” is to be desired, as the major parties want you to believe in their attempt to perpetuate their grasp on political power. The reality is that everywhere in the democratic world people have started to cry out for the real democracy of the ancient Greeks. In those times there were no political parties to dominate the decision making for the nation, but only representatives elected directly by the various communities who acted in accordance with what their community thought that was good for them. This is why, my fellow Frankstonians, before we vote on 29 November let us reflect on who had - or will have - the courage to “walk alone” and exclusively represent the interests of our community, rather than tow the party line.

Time for Hastings The Hastings Community has been waiting for development of the Port of Hastings to go ahead for more than 50 years; and now that it is finally within reach we shouldn’t let a few groups of people that would never live in Hastings, tell us what is good for us. It’s our families, children and businesses that stand to gain so much from developing our port, and we must not let them con us out of it. So often I hear people asking why the other side of the Peninsula always gets the money spent on it and why Hastings always misses out. Now that it is finally Hastings’ turn, if we don’t grab it with both hands at least for our children’s sake; then we shouldn’t ever complain again that we don’t get what we deserve. If this once in a lifetime opportunity is taken away to the Geelong area, that is where all the jobs and infrastructure will go and the future that has always been promised to our town will be gone forever. The Port of Hastings is so important to our state that for the first time our area will start getting the jobs, infrastructure and services first instead of having to wait until everyone else has got theirs. Now is the time for Hastings and I just hope we don’t let it slip through our fingers.

AN out of control burn-off in Boneo earlier this month took 33 appliances and 80 CFA fire fighters eight hours to control. The fire reportedly escaped from a private fire pit near the corner of Boneo and Browns roads into a pile of stored pine logs covering an area 30 metres by 20 metres by three metres high. The logs – stored for a decade for milling - were well seasoned and burned “like a steam train” from about 4pm-midnight on 9 November, Boneo CFA captain Gavin Burt said. Compounding the problem were the large amount of “exposures” – meaning nearby old cars, sheds or equipment likely to be damaged by the heat - and a shortage of water storages in the area. Captain Burt said tackling the blaze was a complex problem. “We had to run 850 metres of hose to get to it and appliances came from as far away as Frankston, Scoresby and Dandenong,” he said. “The fire quickly escalated to a level 2, and only fire fighters with the correct qualifications are allowed to fight such a big job. “It was exhausting and our crews arrived home about 2am.” Captain Burt said the fire may have started long after a nearby property owner burned-off in his fire pit. “It may have been smouldering for ages,” he said. “The owner doesn’t recall having a fire that day.” Boneo Fire Brigade had an open day on Sunday with interesting activities including a bushfire and grassfire safety display, residential fire safety display and children's activities.

Big burn: The blazing logs at Boneo took eight hours to extinguish.

A Get Fire Ready session for the Southern Peninsula will be held 10am–2pm, Saturday 6 December, at Rye Civic Hall, 12 Napier St, Rye. All are welcome to the session which includes a free barbecue and coffee as well as children’s activities. Municipal fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said residents were welcome to drop in during the day to speak with their local CFA brigade, as well as officers from Mornington Peninsula Shire, Parks Victoria, VicRoads and police about bushfire planning and preparation for the upcoming bushfire season. He said customised sessions can be arranged with community groups or clubs. The CFA postpones all community meetings when the fire danger rating is code is Red, Extreme or Severe.

From life on the beach to mountain days Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au FORMER Mornington Peninsula resident Niki Donaldson is making a name for herself far from the coast. The 27-year-old has spent several years working at Mt Buller in a number of roles and is now the resort's media and marketing officer, and is hoping to convince peninsula beach lovers to spend a few days in the mountains this summer. Ms Donaldson had a typical peninsula life as a kid – lazing on the beach, sailing and fishing – but went to Mt Buller in 2005 where she did a Bachelor of Business, Sport and Leisure Management at La Trobe University. "The great thing about studying at Mt Buller was students were given the winter season off to gain work experience in a ski resort," she said. Bitten by the snow bug, from 2006 to 2008 she worked winters at Mt Buller in hospitality then travelled to Vermont in the United States and Whistler in Canada for northern winters. "I worked casual jobs to sustain my 'ski bum' lifestyle but the main reason for going to the US and Canada was to meet like-minded people, improve my snowboarding and skiing skills, and have fun."

Winter hike: Niki Donaldson on Mt Stirling this winter with Mt Buller in the background.

Ms Donaldson returned to the peninsula at the end of 2008 and landed a job working in events at Peppers Moonah Links in Fingal, near Cape Schanck. "I realised I loved working in the tourism industry but missed skiing and the mountains." She returned to Mt Buller perma-

nently in 2011 and worked in event management for Buller Ski Lifts, which owns the chairlifts, as well as at a couple of hotels and food and beverage outlets on the mountain. "My partner Dan joined me the end of 2011 and we rented a house at the base of Mt Buller in Merrijig. Earlier this

year we bought our very first house." Ms Donaldson, who graduated from Flinders Christian College in Tyabb in 2004 while living in Moorooduc with her family, which includes five sisters, has been media officer for Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Alpine Resort for a year.

Merger in mind: Long Island general manager Nick Dastey anticipates strong support for the club’s proposed union with the National Golf Club. Picture: Yanni

THE proposed merger between the Long Island and The National golf clubs will give members access to four championship courses. They are Long Island Country Club’s existing 18-hole layout between Skye and FrankstonDandenong roads, Frankston, and The National’s Old, Ocean and Moonah courses at Cape Schanck. Members of both clubs will vote on the merger on 14 December. To get up, it must receive a 75 per cent ‘Yes’ vote from both clubs. This will create the first private 72hole golf club in Australia. Long Island Country Club general manager Nick Dastey said the merger would make both clubs “bigger and better” for members. “It’s a great opportunity for both of us,” he said. “It will create a fantastic facility and extend our reach. “Combining the two clubs will make

us a much better club and give us a competitive advantage.” Mr Dastey said The National had many peninsula-based members. “Our site is ideal because it’s so convenient to them,” he said. “We are a traditional sand-belt course – like Royal Melbourne or Kingston Heath - whereas The National is made up of links courses.” If the merger succeeds, the 750 members at Long Island and 2500 at The National will have the choice of playing where and when they like on a “diverse combination of courses”. “Long Island is rated 62 in Australia although many golfers would argue that it should be higher,” he said. “The National has two in the top 10 – the Old course at eight and Moonah at 10.” Mr Dastey said a merger was appropriate in a changing market. “It’s well known that demand for golf has been in decline for a number of years, and we want to act now while we are in a position of strength,” he said.

“We want to be a leader in the marketplace and, to do that, we need a strong membership base. “There are great advantages to members in this merger which is all about creating something better for the members. We will both be financially better off.” Fees are unlikely to change at either club. Long Island members pay about $3200 in a traditional fee-paying arrangement, and those at The National just over $4000 in a share-based scheme. These fees are tradeable and vary in price depending on demand. Mr Dastey was confident the proposed merger would boost demand for places at the clubs, thereby increasing the value of The National’s shares. In September 2013 the Peninsula Country Golf Club merged with Kingswood Golf Club, the first merger of two golf clubs in Australia. It is now called Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club.

"It's the most enjoyable job I've ever had. Working on Mt Buller year round provides an ever-changing work environment where the focus shifts seasonally and keeps thing very interesting," she said. "In winter the resort is buzzing with enthusiastic skiiers, snowboarders and the nightlife is great. Summer offers a more tranquil, relaxing setting with the option to ramp things up a little with some of the best downhill and cross-country mountain bike trails in Australia. "My ideal summer day would be a leisurely hike with Dan to the Mt Buller summit followed by a picnic then meet up with mates for a ride down the Delatite River Trail where we would finish in Mirimbah Park and possibly have some cold beers waiting for us in the river." She said Mt Buller would be hosting many events this summer including the Australian Mountain Bike Summit, the Bike Buller MTB Festival, the annual Mountain Running Festival, and Picnic in the Park. "It will be a massive summer of mountain biking with the opening of a new, 40-kilometre long trail, the Australian Alpine Epic on 6 December, plus a range of competitions, specialist camps and clinics including one for women," she said. "We have 16 trails suitable for trail running."

Rock out quietly FUN may never be so quiet again. A silent disco for young people is on 7-11pm, Friday 5 December at Rosebud Memorial Hall, 994 Point Nepean Rd. ‘Silence at the Disco’ is being hosted by Impakt Freeza, a group of young people organising music events for other young people on the Mornington Peninsula. Those aged 10-25 are invited to attend this low cost, drug, smoke and alcohol free event where everyone will be provided with a set of wireless headphones to listen to music. Tickets are $12 at the door or $10 for those wearing something fluoro. Young people can choose from a couple of different music channels to listen to through the headphones, so there’s sure to be something for everyone’s music tastes. Freeza is a Victorian State Government initiative, supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Details: Jackie Rickard 5950 1666 or check out facebook.com/impaktfreeza

Girls steered by siren’s call IT seems girls just wanna play football, according to the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League. Such is the demand that the league is planning to introduce two all-girl football competitions next season to run alongside the junior boys. There will be divisions for 9- 12 year olds and 13-18. MPJFL girls’ football coordinator Jenny Walker said nine junior football clubs considering fielding girls teams are Balnarring, Pearcedale/Baxter, Somerville, Moorooduc, South Mornington, Beleura, Rye, Rosebud and Mt Martha. Footy field: Already lining up for next season’s Peninsula Junior Football League girls’ division are Maddi, Steph, Amelia, Abbey, Jordy, Brooke, Kobi, Izzy, Herron and Georgia. Picture: Yanni

“Whether they do, of course, depends on the number of girls interested in playing,” she said. “The games will be just as tough and rugged as the boys – and that’s the way the girls want it.” Ms Walker – a member of the Rye Junior Football Club - said girls’ football was one of the fastest growing sports in the country: “As a league, we are looking forward to bringing it to all the girls who are interested.” To promote the new competition, the league is hosting a girls’ football skills day 5.30-6.30pm Friday at South Mornington Junior Football Club, Helena St, Mt Martha. “The girls should just wear runners - not footy boots,” Ms Walker said.

Peninsula climate right for app to cut waste Innovators: Stephen Halpin with teammate Eleanor Meyer show off their sustainable app. Picture: Yanni

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IF all goes to plan, a free mobile phone app developed by a group of Monash students could offer Mornington Peninsula residents economic, social and environmental advantages all rolled into one. Their ‘Sustain Me’ recycling app will make Mornington Peninsula Shire the first council in Victoria to have a centralised recycling platform that allows residents to recycle more efficiently and effectively. Ultimately, this will allow the shire to reduce its waste volumes and increase its reuse of materials, extending the life of existing landfills and, potentially, reducing household recycling charges resulting in cheaper rates. Such is the shire’s enthusiasm for the app that it has contributed $5000 towards its development. Innovator Stephen Halpin, of Mt Martha, said the idea had its genesis in the 2013 Oxfam-Monash Innovators Program, when he and partner Eleanor Meyer, of Parkdale, and a group of students, were given an opportunity to develop their own creative idea for a social justice project. Both are 24. “Our idea was the ‘Sustain Me’ app, an innovative mobile platform designed to engage people wanting to recycle with relevant information in a timely manner,” he said. The massive penetration of mobile phone use made it the ideal medium. Through extensive research, the team identified that Melburnians –

and especially those on the peninsula - recognised climate change, sustainability and waste management as “incredibly important” issues. “We found that they wished to act upon this and behave in a sustainable way. However, what stopped them doing so was a lack of accessible information in a convenient, easy-toaccess medium,” Mr Halpin said.

“Our team also found that, as a result of app technology, people were most happy to use their mobiles as a prime source of information, and so we decided to collate the wealth of council-specific data with a free mobile app. “It will provide individual notifications to keep the user engaged, and act as a unique platform between councils

Westernport Tree Care

and residents, which facilitates a space for dialogue to occur.” This ‘dialogue’ helps users learn about what can be recycled at various councils – such as plastic bags – when to put the bins out and where they can go to dump rubbish sustainably. “There are lots of ambiguities out there about what can go in the recycling bin,” Ms Meyer said. “Broken

glass is one: some councils won’t take it while others will. It’s the same for bike locks: are they metal, plastic or what?” “We found it frustrating that people had nowhere to go to find out the relevant information.” The ‘Sustain Me’ app took 15 months – and 558 hours - of product development and research to complete. The team has signed a memorandum-of-understanding with the shire to partner in its testing and roll out. Renewable resources manager Sophia Schyschow said: “Mornington Peninsula Shire supports the development of the app that will encourage users to recycle in the most efficient way possible. “‘Sustain Me’ will tell its users how to simply and efficiently recycle whichever item they wish to dispose of [in line with] the user's council guidelines and location.” This support means the shire could be the first council in Victoria to have a truly centralised recycling platform. “It gives residents the opportunity to learn how to recycle more efficiently and effectively,” Mr Halpin said. The group has recently finished its first round of testing and is preparing the free app for launch in the New Year.

As Greens the public can trust us to defend and support the following: We want better schools for our kids, and to restore public TAFE. We want more frequent and reliable public transport. We care about Health – Victoria must pressure the Federal Government to provide adequate funding for both acute and mental health services, and provide improved ambulance services. We love the Mornington Peninsula, its unique environment and much-loved beaches – so we stand against development that destroys the precious places we have left. We support Peninsula community action to: • Stop the proposed container port at Hastings. • Stop Point Leisure Group privatising the Quarantine Station within Point Nepean National Park. • Fight against the over development of Arthur’s Seat as a proposed tourist precinct with Chairlift.

The media: a medicine not to everyone’s taste David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au JOURNALISTS love a good quote. Here’s one from Alfred Harmsworth, later Lord Northcliffe, who pioneered mass-circulation newspapers in Britain. “News,” he said, “is what somebody, somewhere, wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.” Not a bad definition, one that the Mornington Peninsula News Group (MPNG), publisher of this newspaper, has as a lodestar, especially when confronted with the sort of “white noise” and other evasive techniques employed by wannabe suppressers of all sorts. Keep Northcliffe’s definition in mind when next you read your daily or weekly newspapers and watch or listen to news and current affairs programs. The “spin” – politicians trying to persuade people that white is black, or at least a shade of grey – is prodigious, the aim as much to confuse and disorientate, and to appeal to prejudice and bigotry, as it is to inform. Since Northcliffe’s lifetime (1865–1922), politicians, pop singers, business barons, colourful racing identities, celebrity chefs, oft-married doctors and other folk have employed platoons of press secretaries, advisers and other “flacks” to try to suppress what they don’t want published, with depressingly regular success. Standing between prominent persons and the public, the flacks (including those in local government) have tasks including distributing run of the

mill information such as what their bosses have been doing, or plan to do, who they have met and what triumphs they wish to trumpet. Their most important task: dealing with disasters and embarrassments that must be suppressed or spun away. Recently Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has been flacking for the PM about Mr Abbott’s preelection “No cuts to the ABC or SBS” promise. Mr Turnbull has been telling us it’s not a cut, it’s an adjustment, and we must not take his boss’s words out of context. Further, Mr Turnbull has continually pointed out, the public must remember that he and Treasurer Joe Hockey had repeatedly stated pre-election that cuts would have to be made across the board, including to the ABC and SBS. Mr Turnbull was indulging in classic spin. A “cut” became an “adjustment”; the “context” (Abbott’s plain promise was not in a “context”) was a huge red herring; and then came a Turnbull hint that the PM’s pledge was, silly boy, just him off on another irresponsible, undisciplined frolic, departing, tsk-tsk, from the message being put out by his more responsible colleagues Turnbull and Hockey. Desperate stuff, when analysed, but reported widely – and defended widely by the PM’s acolytes in the press and on radio and television. But with a deft touch of anti-Abbott malice, reflecting Mr Turnbull’s leadership ambitions. Beautiful work! Like it or not, the ABC is a central pillar of the Australian media and of Australian life. It plays a role for all, in every city, town, village and

remote outback farmhouse, including for those who don’t listen or watch. It is as vital to all as are roads, even to non-drivers. Almost all politicians have, at one time or another, been victim of the ABC. Their egos can’t abide negative publicity. Many governments have set out to nobble it via funding “adjustments”. In more turbulent nations, coup leaders head straight for the media, to control the message. North Koreans know only what the state tells them. Try to imagine Australia without the ABC. Try to imagine the world without the BBC – for insomniacs, it brings Australia news and features on ABC’s News Radio throughout the night. Try to imagine our radio dominated and diminished by Sydney shock jock types like Alan Jones, or by an Australian version of America’s appalling Rush Limbaugh, or TV news and opinion from Rupert Murdoch’s disgraceful US channel Fox News. Spin at a more mundane local level has been Mornington Peninsula Shire’s regular approach to our annual rates increase, announcing a rise that was always less than the … dare one say “truth”? It has done this by calculating the “rate” (in the dollar) and omitting a substantial “charge”, the Municipal Charge – although (refer to your rates notice) the shire is obliged to state your bill as “rates and charges”, which cannot exclude the hefty Municipal Charge. Then the shire hired Marilyn Kearney as its chief financial officer. She acknowledged the error and remedied it. MPNG newspapers had pointed out the rates spin and Ms Kearney,

now alas departed from the shire, had responded properly. That is but a minor example of the local media’s crucial role, which is, to use the vernacular, “to keep the bastards honest”. Many politicians keenly resent being held to account, except on their terms. It was once the role of the press, now the task of all media, to shine a light into dark corners, now in a time of diminishing funds and shrinking newsrooms. This is a lofty concept but a vital one. Democracy is incomplete and ultimately unworkable without the oxygen of facts, with independent news media doing their job dispassionately and objectively. Whistleblowers Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are holed up beyond reach of infuriated politicians because they could not and would not be suppressed. The spin against them has been gargantuan, partly a reflection of politicians’ fear of having exposed what they are accustomed to suppressing, and not generally for national security reasons, as they argue. Newspapers were once regularly referred to as the Fourth Estate, the other three estates comprising the English parliament – the Lords Spiritual, the Lords Temporal, and the Commons. The great English parliamentarian Edmund Burke had given this definition in 1787, when reporting of parliament was finally permitted, and had added: “... but, in the Parliament’s Reporters' Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important [by] far than they all”. The Australian Constitution refers to

the Parliament, the Executive Government and the Judicature as the nation’s three chief estates. It is inconceivable now to think that reporting parliament would ever have been prohibited. Here’s another quote beloved of journalists: “The only way to look at a politician is down.” It came from the acerbic typewriter of American newspaper columnist Henry Louis Mencken. The term politician should, incidentally, be widely defined to include councillors, barrow-pushers for causes and unelected officials with the power to control aspects of our lives. Another lively example: “Say what you will about the 10 commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only 10 of them.” Journalism is regarded by some serious practitioners as a vocation. But this is to make the craft (it is not a profession) too serious, some say. A venerable definition has it that, to be a journalist, one needs a plausible manner, a good serve of rat cunning and a little literary ability. But that is too trite a note on which to end so, more quotes: “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” “It is [a politician’s] business to get and hold his job at all costs. If he can hold it by lying, he will hold it by lying; if lying peters out, he will try to hold it by embracing new truths. His ear is ever close to the ground.” “Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.”

PARC parking review ordered CAR parking arrangements at the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre will be reviewed following last week’s formal request to centre management by Frankston City Council. The chair of the PARC board has promised to take the matter to the next board meeting in December. Currently, the first hour of parking is free. On week days, the maximum charge is $8 for three hours, reducing to $6 after $2 for the first hour is deducted. At weekends, there is a maximum charge of $4 for three hours, reducing to $2 after the first hour is deducted. Frankston City Council’s chief executive officer Dennis Hovenden acknowledged that the charging regime introduced by the PARC board had aimed to ensure high levels of accessibility for those using the facility. “However, as it was the council’s original intention to provide free car parking to all

patrons, we have asked the PARC board to come up with a plan that provides this, as well as ensuring a reasonable turnover of parks, to allow access for all users of the pool,” Mr Hovenden said. “It is our view that changes need to be made to the car parking arrangements to ensure free parking is possible for all patrons. “We don’t want a situation where people park there for hours on end, thereby limiting other people’s access to parking, so any solution will have to balance these competing issues. “It is now up to PARC’s board to consider some options at their next meeting in December and get back to council with their decision. “Hopefully, we will have a workable result that meets our original intention, keeps patrons happy and ensures the long-term viability of PARC.”

What type of caravan is best for you By Rod Gunn - Utow Caravans The first thing you need to to is decide which car you will be towing the caravan with before you decided which caravan. Front wheel drive or rear wheel drive, 4 x 4 or all wheel drive, it does make a difference especially when it comes to weight leveling bars. What type of suspension is fitted to the vehicle and is it possible to upgrade that if necessary? Can a tow bar be fitted to the vehicle or does it have one, if so what is the maximum capacity for the towbar or the vehicle? The lower figure is the one that you have to live with, or buy a heavier duty towbar if available, and then what is the maximum payload of the vehicle. As for the caravan, you need to think about what weight do I want to tow, or in fact am I

allowed to tow with the chosen vehicle, how high will fit under my carport, how long do I need it to be, single axle or dual axle. A single axle is easier to manoeuvre but a dual axle can be longer but not necessarily heavier and most people say travel better. Once this is decided then we look at exterior fittings: awning or annex (will I ever use the walls or will a privacy screen be enough). Front boot or side boots. One or two gas bottles and what size, water or fuel containers on the front or back or not at all. Solar panels, battery back up. Interior: Interior furnishings, seating, material, colours. Single beds or double/queen size bed, island or otherwise. Cupboard space, bench space. Hot water heater (electric or gas/electric) Ensuite or not, washing

machine, these mean an extra water tank and a black and grey water tank. (Water is 1 kg per litre) Is it made to comply with the rigours of the Australian road system. Most are some are not. Remember you get what you pay for and if you are going to purchase a custom made caravan make sure your weights are within the vehicles capacity. You can keep adding bits and pieces but every item adds weight. Hopefully that has given you a bit of a head start so now go and look at the yards and see what is available. It’s too expensive to make mistake. Utow Caravans is at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville. Phone 5978 0083. www.utowcaravans.com.au

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF VICTORIA From Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria

A message from the Board of Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria. On Tuesday 18th November, the Labor Party announced a policy that we believe will have grave and disastrous consequences for CFA. As CFA volunteer firefighters with an average of over 40 years’ service each and as the elected board of the body established in Victorian law to be the voice of CFA volunteers, we feel the need to take this unprecedented action of activating all Victorians to help us stop a policy that has the potential to destroy CFA. Our concern with the recently announced Labor policy is that it establishes external industrial interference with the CFA Chief Officer’s power to decide where and when and how he uses CFA firefighters. We are also concerned that Labor’s policy will reduce CFA’s volunteer firefighting force by thousands of volunteers, pushing volunteers out of CFA stations and hundreds of CFA trucks off the road when we need them for major fires such as Black Saturday. Labor has grossly underestimated the cost and impact of its policy. Labor’s promise of $141M and an additional 350 paid firefighters actually only provides 70 additional paid firefighters on the ground at any one time under current paid firefighter rostering arrangements, and it will come at the expense of thousands of highly trained and professional volunteer firefighters. We support and welcome additional paid support and resources for CFA, provided these resources are required and provided that the CFA determines the need, not a union. Don’t be fooled, the plan announced by Labor is not about improving community safety in Victoria, the detail included in their announcement is about giving the control of CFA to a union. Labor’s policy announcement includes specific provisions to surrender CFA operational decisions to an external industrial relations panel. Instead of Labor’s policy, we need a plan that will recruit and train more CFA volunteer firefighters, provide trucks and equipment to combat fires and other incidents, investment in a modern firefighting fleet, give CFA the flexibility to deploy resources when and where they are needed and remove industrial control over how CFA uses its workforce. Victoria is one of the most fire prone areas in the world and there are predictions of longer, hotter and more severe fire seasons ahead. If Labor’s policy is allowed to push trained and experienced CFA volunteers out of fire stations across greater metropolitan Melbourne, Victoria will not have the fire fighting force it needs for day to day incidents and certainly will not have the force to deal with major incidents when they occur, such as Black Saturday. When you vote on Saturday 29th understand one thing, as some of Victoria’s most senior volunteer firefighters, we believe Labor’s policy for CFA is not good for CFA volunteers, is not good for Victoria and is not good for the future of CFA. uthhorissedd by Signed and aauthorised

Perfect place to call home

THIS elite address is one of Morningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best kept secrets and is home to this luxurious double-storey residence. The striking arch window on the second level provides immediate street appeal and the beautifully landscaped gardens will not leave you wanting. The neat path, flanked by box hedges, takes you up to the grand portico, with a formal lounge and dining room to the left as you enter. To the right is a separate home office, then you are through into the main living zone incorporating a splendid lounge and dining room, a gleaming kitchen with storage options galore and further towards the back, heading to the alfresco courtyard, is a versatile games or rumpus room. The four bedrooms are all upstairs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each has a walk-in robe, while the larger main bedroom has an ensuite. There is a second bathroom on this level and a powder room downstairs for guests. Conveniences include ducted heating and vacuum systems along with evaporative cooling.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Exploding soda fountain causes death in Chelsea Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE Programme of The Dromana sports club appears in our advertising columns, which takes place on Boxing Day. *** Mr Alec Clarey will deliver his second lecture in the. Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening next on the identity of the British Race with the Lost Tribe of Israel will be further elaborated. *** THE friends of Mr T. Nicholl of Frankston, will regret to hear of the death of his wife which sad event occurred at The Melbourne Hospital on Friday afternoon, after having undergone an operation in that institution. The remains were brought to Frankston and buried on Sunday afternoon. The Rev A P. McFarlane officiated at the grave. *** THE purely voluntary surrender by the Public Service of a percentage of salary, as a contribution to the war fund, will mean a handsome contribution. The Teachers Bench has adopted a minimum of 2.5 per cent. A junior teacher earning 4 pounds monthly subscribes 1 pound, 4 shillings per year. Some of our Victorian citizens as might well ponder this. *** The American Tea held in the Frankston Park and the funds of the Brass Band was in every way a success, thanks to the committee of ladies who worked arduously during the afternoon and evening, with the

result that the profit of over £22 was made. *** AT the invitation of Mr W. Holtz of the Pier Hotel, Frankston, a party of gentlemen took advantage of the public holiday proclaimed on the 18th for the purpose of a days shooting of the rabbits in the district. The place chosen was Mr C Wells paddocks on the Hastings road and after a pleasant drive in one of Mr Benson’s cabs the party was dropped off at its destination. No time was wasted in starting operations on one of the numerous warrens. Burrows were found, the ferrets were sent on their different ways forcing bunny out of his hole where it was immediately met by a party and speedily dispatched. Unfortunately the place selected must have been pretty extensively gone over shortly before the arrival of the hunters and the catch was not as good as was anticipated, but a most enjoyable days outing was spent. Refreshments were liberally provided by the host, and after tramping round the extensive warrens in the different paddocks, they were duly appreciated by the company. About seven o’clock the cabs returned, and a pleasant drive home in the cool of the evening terminated a very pleasant outing. *** THE Choral Society’s concert on Saturday, December 5th promises to be one of the most interesting they have ever given. In addition to the

first appearance of Miss Rosa Alba who is looked upon by critics as a coming prima donna, a recital of several quaint old English songs by Mr Frederic Earp is announced. In England Mr Earp was regarded as an authority on this branch of music and is often engaged as lecturer by leading Shakespearian and other educational societies. The original manuscript of “Summer is calling you” (one of the items promised) is preserved with great care in the British Museum London, as it is the oldest piece of decipherable music existing. Nobody knows exactly who composed it, but antiquarians assign it to a monk who lived in Reading Monastery about the year 1226. Another song is about an old-time agricultural laborer being distinctly humorous. Though this song has been well known to the old fashioned villagers in the country of its origin for many generations, Mr Earp was one of the first singers of standing, to introduce it into high class concert programmes. Mr Earp will give a selection of six of these little songs all new to Australia, from his collection of over two hundred. *** ON Sunday last the Rev A. P. McFarlane and Rev G. A. Kitchen exchanged duty. Mr McFarlane took all the services at Frankston and Seaford. In the afternoon Mr McFarlane officiated at the funeral of Mrs Nicholls. ***

WE regret to have to record the death of Mrs G Lindsey (Miss Etly Cullen) at the early age of 24 years and offer our condolences and sympathy to the sorrowing relatives. The deceased was well known in Frankston previous to her marriage and was greatly appreciated as an elocutionist in which capacity she appeared several times in connection with the Choral Society’s concerts some two years ago. *** THE danger of allowing persons to use pea rifles in the township, was exemplified on Tuesday evening, when Miss Masterton was shot in the hand while walking in her garden, in Bay Street, Frankston. It is not known who fired the shot, but it was a lucky thing for the lady, that she was not shot in a vital part, though no thanks is due to the careless shootist for that. *** THERE is at present on view in Mrs Hayes window, in Bay street, Frankston, a very handsome handbag, made of handwork crotchet. Miss Martindale, who made the article, intends to raffle it for the benefit of the Patriot fund, and tickets may be had for the small sum of 3d each. *** AMONG the successful candidates for the Musical Society’s recent examinations, were Miss Dorothea Overton, who obtained 1st diploma for the pianoforte, and Miss Dorothy Thornell passed, with honours, for the elementary certificate. These young

musicians are well known residents of Somerville, and reflect great credit upon their teacher, Miss Olive Sherlock, Frankston. *** IN accordance with the provisions contained in the Electoral Act in regard to compulsory enrolment. Mr W. J. Field, divisional returning officer for Flinders division, has issued a batch of 500 summons against persons who have failed to have their names placed upon the roll, and there is a further batch of between 300 and 400 to follow. The first of these cases will come on at the Dandenong court on Tuesday when proceedings will be taken against 90 offenders. *** A sad accident happened at Sherwood Avenue, Chelsea, on Sunday afternoon, when Ernest Tillbrook attempted to rectify a fault in a soda water fountain. The machine exploded and Tillbrook was thrown violently to the ground, and killed instantly. Tillbrook visited Mrs Ballard’s tea gardens at Chelsea. The sodawater fountain was out of order, and Tillbrook remarked that he knew all about the workings of such a machine, turned to the tap. An explosion followed immediately, hurling Tillbrook to the ground. When he was picked up he was dead, the only wound visible was in his right arm, which was almost torn off at the elbow. Tillbrook, who was 23 year old, was unmarried. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 November, 1914.

Peruvian sisters open dental clinic MEMBER for Hastings Neale Burgess officially opened Somerville’s newest health service. Somerville Family Dental Care is a new dental surgery that is the culmination of the dreams and a lot of hard work by Peruvian sisters Dr Pilar Wright and Dr Gisella (‘Gigi’) Villavicencio. The dentists said that Australia was indeed the lucky country, with Neale Burgess affirming that Australia is luckier for having them here to assist in our dental care. It’s been a long road for the determined siblings with many ups and downs. They began their careers in Lima, Peru in the late 1990’s. Despite graduating at the top of their class and completing post graduate courses in orthodontics and endodontics, it was still a struggle to make ends meet. The economic and political situation in Peru was not good and there was simply too much competition with an oversupply of dentists. Pilar and Gigi decided that if they wanted a better life, some difficult decisions were needed. Against the advice of many friends and family, they decided to try their luck in the far

away and exotic land of Australia. Pilar uprooted herself first and arrived in Australia in 2006. She remembers she was in tears for most of the trip at the reality of leaving her family behind. After completing the rigorous Australian Dental Council (ADC) examination requirements, she began practising in Balaclava in 2008. After a year, she moved to a practice in Brighton where she worked until the opening of her Somerville practice. Gigi arrived two years later. After completing the ADC exams, she also secured a position at the Brighton practice with her sister.

Throughout the highs and lows of the last 15 years, the sisters were always united by the common dream of opening their own dental practice. Finally the dream became a reality and Pilar & Gigi’s family and friends could not be prouder. Somerville Family Dental Care shares the location of Classic Denture Studio, whose owner prosthetist Arnie Jabour has been a long-time Somerville fixture. The two businesses complement each other and look forward to helping the residents of Somerville and the Peninsula with all their dental needs.

Classic Denture Studio welcomes Dr. Pilar and Dr. Gigi

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The utterly compelling truth about clutter By Stuart McCullough IT’S on. We have decided to sell our house. Ultimately, this will require us to pack up all our things in an orderly fashion and move. But not yet. First we must undergo a painful process in which we ‘de-clutter’. Although it sounds like something that may require both a young and old priest, not to mention a decent supply of holy water, the term ‘de-clutter’ is, in fact, a nice way of saying ‘remove all the materials in your house that have seen the neighbours dob you in to A Current Affair as a chronic hoarder’. It’s ironic. Three years worth of old newspapers are incredibly useful when you’re moving house and yet they’re the first thing a prospective real estate agent will ask you to remove from the hallway. There’s no avoiding the awful truth: we have collected a lot of stuff. Some of it deliberately, but much of as a by-product of life. Over many years, it has accumulated and filled every nook and cranny until, like a pair of jeans that are two sizes too small, stuff simply spills over the edges. And, just like that very same pair of trousers, it’s confronting. We’ve been ingenious, too. We’ve used every inch of every cupboard as well as the roof. Now comes the reckoning. For years, we’ve acted like clowns getting into a Minnie Minor. Finally, it’s time to undo in a few days what took us years to achieve. The reason for de-cluttering is simple. We have to make our house look as nice and as neat and as flat-out wonderful as possible. In modern par-

lance, we need someone to ‘pimp our ride’. For those unfamiliar with the process, this involves a stylist coming to look at all your possessions and then judging you. In some instances, this means high praise. Apparently, the vintage movie posters in the hallway

are entirely appropriate and should be retained. This is a powerful validation of my taste, if not in movies, then at least in posters. That these works have been selected to survive the culling process says that I was right all along. However, not all the art work as been

so lucky. To date, there is no word on the framed picture of ‘Dogs Playing Poker’ whose fate hangs in the balance while it hangs in the study. Last time I met the stylist, she pointed in the general direction of one half of the house and simply said everything at that end could go. As a person whose job it is to make everything look as chic and as stylish as possible, she couldn’t even bring herself to say the words ‘Dogs Playing Poker’. It truly is the artwork that dare not speak its name. I have a lot of instruments. Sadly, these are not of the surgical variety because our house would have been a lot bigger were that the case. Musical instruments, it must be said, take up a lot of premium space. Apparently they’re an unwanted distraction and have to go. As a result, they’re being evicted from the house. It’s a bitter blow but, as an adult, I can take it. And, as an adult, there’s only one responsible course of action available to me – I must take my beloved instruments, cram them into a Ford Focus and then hide them in various cupboards at my father’s house. It must be said that my father is a very patient and understanding man, at least about things other than the cruel and vexatious decision to cancel A Place To Call Home. I’m sure he’ll realize that the violin in the linen cupboard is not his and that the Stratocaster in the pantry stuffed between the barbeque shapes and the sugar bowl is only there on a transitional basis. It seems that moving out of your childhood home house is the work of a lifetime. In many respects, it’s incremen-

tal. I left home when I was a teenager, but plenty of my possessions stayed put. It’s true of my siblings too. Once again, I have to move back home, at least in part. De-cluttering your house is an exercise that is part cleaning, part archeology. I’m not ashamed to say that I have upheld the family tradition by locating a range of foodstuffs that expired in a decade other than the current one. I also found press releases for old bands that serve as a reminder of how far the art of word-processing has come in the last twenty years. There are school reports and assignments that I was sure I would one day need again. It’s time to let them all go. Once it’s done, you are left with a house that was far neater than when you started and a nagging sense of: why didn’t we always live like this? It’s because human beings are meant to accumulate. I don’t mean expensive objects, but the everyday stuff of life. We collect and gather up objects great and small because they remind us of things. Of moments when we were happy. Of people we loved and, if we’re lucky, loved us back. These items are evidence of a life lived. Tomorrow, oddly stylish furniture will arrive. It will make our house look neat and wonderful, just as it should, but it’s not me. The proof that I existed is packed up in a range of boxes. Perhaps more than anywhere else, the real me can be found in the various nooks and crannies of my father’s house. Which is exactly as it should be. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Between the bays celebrates decade

CELEBRATING it’s 10th year, Between the Bays has now firmly established itself as Mornington Peninsula’s best, annual music festival over the summer, each year playing host to some of Australia’s most well know and loved artists as well as local up and comers. Over the last decade, the likes of Hoodoo Gurus, Tim Finn, The Basics, Lior, Custard, The Fauves, Ooga Boogas, Daryl Braithwaite, The Bamboos, Passenger, Tim Rogers, Jordie Lane, Justine Clark,

Angie Hart, Diesel, Blackchords, The Black Sorrows, Rebecca Barnard, Mental As Anything, Dan Kelly and many more have graced the Penbank stage. Since it’s inception in 2005, Between the Bays has offered music lovers an inexpensive festival experience with an all-inclusive community feel, with all proceeds raised by Between the Bays going to Penbank School’s partnership with the Wugularr School in Beswick, remote Northern Territory, helping

the children at the Wugularr School reach their full potential. Recently, at the Educate Plus Awards for Excellence in Melbourne, Festival director Paul Thompson was honoured to receive the award for the Best Event for Between The Bays. The award recognises Paul’s work in developing Between the Bays Music Festival, held annually at Penbank School, into the successful event it has become. For 2015 and the 10th anniversary of

Between The Bays, the festival invites back favourites James Reyne, Mark Seymour, Custard, Combo La Revelcion, Indigenous Hip Hop Projects, The Billabong Boys and for their first ever BTB appearances Melbourne acts Wagons and Sweet Jean. Between The Bays 2015 will be held on Saturday 28th February. Tickets are on sale now at: www.betweenthebays.com

and clubs of northern England, before teaming up with Mike Stock and Matt Aitken to record Astley’s first solo offering Never Gonna Give You Up. The release was an immediate success, sending the song to the top of the British charts for five weeks and making it the year’s highest selling single. In addition to the UK success, the song topped charts in the US, Australia and Germany – the first of 13 worldwide Top 30 hit singles - making Astley a household name within months. Peninsula fans will get the chance to see one of the most well known pop stars on the planet in a rare Australian performance of hit songs and memories at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday November 28. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the venue, with doors opening at 8pm. For more info, head to www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

If you’re a member of Generation Y, chances are you have a vague memory of a Rick Astley song you may have heard on the radio in between your BMX rides when you were about five or six years old. If you’re a bit older – or indeed a GenY with a knack for remembering hits of the late 80s – you’d know the name well, as one of the success stories coming from production trio Stock Aitken Waterman, alongside Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue, Bananarama and many more. Now, some 25 years since his breakthrough single Never Gonna Give You Up burst onto high rotation radio and gained No.1 status in 25 countries worldwide, Rick Astley is coming to our shores to show Australian audiences what he’s been up to since, as well as belt out his late 80s/early 90s hits. Rick Astley’s musical career began in the pubs

THE SCREAMING JETS ANNOUNCE

25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR The upcoming national tour for The Screaming Jets is going to be something very special, for fans and the band alike. The iconic rock band, originally from Newcastle, will be celebrating 25 years – yes, a quarter of a century – of great Aussie rock. 25 years seems like a hell of a long time to stick at one job, but when your job is to rock out as much as you can - it can feel like it’s flying by in the blink of an eye. With 6 studio albums under their belt and literally thousands of gigs throughout the world from one horse towns to global meccas, the Jets have been there and done that….when it comes to this crazy rock n roll circus. To celebrate this massive milestone The Screaming Jets are heading back on the road in October to celebrate with all their fans and friends round this big brown rocking land. There is also an element of disbelief that the band that started with mates gigging around their home town in the late 80’s has reached such a milestone, releasing some of the country’s most iconic songs along the way. With tracks like Better, Helping Hand, October Grey, Sad Song and their revered cover of Shivers, The Screaming Jets

have become part of the Australian music psyche. The Screaming Jets won’t just be celebrating a quarter of a century on their upcoming tour, but also sharing tracks from their as yet untitled new album, of all fresh material. The ethos of the band has always put importance on the band members creating new material – putting their mark on the words and music. Bass player Paul Woseen has been writing tracks, as has Dave and during the times the band are together, they’ve also been penning tracks for the upcoming release. It seems that writing their albums feeds their desire to go on the road. Gearing up for a massive celebration as they hit the road from October, The Screaming Jets are bringing the best of the best to audiences around the country. After their massive tour in 2013, these new dates are highly anticipated and it’s not just the fans that are looking forward to it. PEARL has been told that the boys can’t wait to get back on the road in Australian again. It will be your chance to see the boys in full flight Friday 28th November at the Hallam Hotel.

Kangas in a world of pain PROVINCIAL By IT Gully LANGWARRIN’S season went from bad to worse on Saturday after being skittled for just 93 in its match against Heatherhill. The Kangas have been in disastrous form with the bat in recent matches but some had forgiven them given they were against Sorrento and Mornington. However, despite only a modest attack, Langwarrin wilted under the Hill’s bowling pressure. While the Kangas were nothing short of pathetic, the Hill’s bowlers were superb.

Jon Powell was the pick of them, tearing through the visitor’s batting line up, finishing with 7/31 off 17.4 overs. His figures included six maidens and 10 no balls. At one stage, Langwarrin was 4/17. Bowling all-rounder Jake D’Atri was tried up the order but that idea failed, falling for just five. It was once again left to old timer Danny Weare to score half of the team’s runs in his first senior game for the season. Weare finished with 45. In reply, Heatherhill will resume at 4/69. Adrian Mack and Dwayne Doig have two wickets each for the Kangas. Pines bowlers did the job on Saturday against Moorooduc,

however, their batsmen are again in a spot of bother. Ricky Ramsdale led the charge for the Piners with 4/37 to help roll the Ducs for 157. Bobby Wilson top scored for the home side with 45. In reply, Pines are 3/41. Baxter and Mt Eliza are locked in tight battle after the opening day claimed 12 wickets. The Mounties batted first and made 171, thanks largely to Timmy Strickland (46) and skipper Lyle House (45). Dale Irving was at his magical best for Baxter with 5/41. Baxter will resume on day two of the match, looking comfortable at 2/68

after Shane McComb blasted 40. Mornington’s batsmen stepped up to the plate in the grand final replay against Sorrento, helping the side reach 249. It was the star Ben Clements who turned his season around with a powerful 117, while Luke Popov was next best with 31 and Michael Heib hit an unbeaten 29. Liam O’Connor as the best of the Sorras bowlers with 4/9 and Anthony Blackwell chipped-in with 2/27. Peninsula Old Boys continue to get the job done, setting Long Island 245 for victory. The Old Boys have been very consistent with their scoring this

season and despite being up against a very good attack, were able to score more than 200 again. Scott Phillips claimed 3/60 and Andrew Tweddle 2/27 for the Islanders. Crib Point has already claimed the 12 points against Rye and will be looking for an additional eight points when they begin day two this Saturday. The Demons batted first and were bowled out for 128, Luke Herrington picking up 4/35 and Glenn Barclay 4/41. In reply, the Magpies are 2/150 after Herrington made 72. Rob Hearn will resume unbeaten on 66.

Blues in trouble DISTRICT By IT Gully HASTINGS will be looking for a miracle when it heads out into the middle on day two of its District round five match against Seaford Tigers. Suffice to say that the opening day at Belvedere Park belonged to the bowlers, with 15 wickets falling on the opening day. The Tigers won the toss and elected to bat, however, quickly found themselves in real trouble at 3/7. Mitch Floyd was on fire after taking the new ball and snared the first three wickets. He finished with 3/27 from 13 overs. Corey Hand, as he has done so often over his career, saved his side with 57, while Matty Meagher also contributed a valuable 23 to help the Tigers to a modest yet defendable 148. Carey Sawosz again rewarded his skipper for a bit of faith, returning figures of 4/34 from 13 overs. Looking to capitalise on their bowlers’ great work, the Hastings batsmen couldn’t follow it up. Hastings lost 3/8 in seven overs, including Jake Hewitt for a duck. Only four runs have come from the bat of Hastings’ players. Meagher was superb for the Tigers with the new cherry, bowling three over and finishing with 2/3. Carrum needs 43 runs with five wickets in hand in its match against Mt Martha. The Reds batted first and made 166. A number of batsmen got starts but none could go on with it. Luke

Moran top scored with 37 and Mitchel Darville hit 34. Dean Polson was the best of the Lions’ bowlers with 3/19. In reply, Carrum will resume at 5/104. However, they will be disappointed to have lost 5/35 after cruising at 0/69. Openers Dale O’Neil was run out for 36 and Shaun Foster eventually went for 55. Curtis Stone snared 3/52 from 11 overs for Mt Martha. Main Ridge and Delacombe Park are evenly poised in their match. However, this was another game that belonged to the bowlers with 14 wickets falling on the first day. Main Ridge batted first and made 161, Brad Rossborough superb with a team high score of 81. Shane Deal was equally as good for the Parkers with 5/29 off 14 overs. Flinders has set Seaford 221 for victory after making 8/220. Andrew Power top scored for the Sharks but fell one short of a half century, while keeper and opener Tim Clark was next best with 38. Faisal Payenda was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 3/46. In the final game for the round, Somerville needs 149 run with nine wickets in hand against Baden Powell. The Braves batted first and made 166, Rhys Elmi top scoring with 56. The Eagles will resume at 1/18.

Embarrassed Buds bowled out for 53 SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully ROSEBUD will be hoping for a lot of luck when it resumes in its match against Frankston YCW. The Buds were awful on Saturday, bowled out for just 53 in 35 overs. Only Kane Donald could make it to double figures, top scoring with 17. Two players were removed for ducks, two batsmen made just one run and there were a further two batsmen who were removed after making just two runs.

It was a shocking day for the Buds, especially when you consider the fact that it was the evergreen Andrew Kitson who did the bulk of the damage for the Stonecats. Kitson has been retired for a number of years, however, made a return this season. On Saturday, he opened the bowling and picked up 5/23 from 18 overs. Jeremy Daniel also opened the bowling for the Stonecats and snared 3/21. The Stonecats faced the final 45 overs for the day and batted cautiously,

scoring at just over a run per over. The visitors will resume at 3/58, Sammy Preston unbeaten on 16. Pearcedale has already won its game against Ballam Park. The Knights returned to their old ways on Saturday, dismissed for 107. Chris Dew picked-up 6/29 for the Dales and Shayne Gillings and Kaine Smith claimed two wickets each. In reply, Pearcedale is cruising at 1/116 with Brad Trotter unbeaten on 46. Gavin Moore backed-up his ton in the last match with another 40 on Saturday.

Carrum Downs has set Tootgarook a massive 284 for victory in their match after Mark Snelling blasted 101 and Matt Grayson hit 85 in only his second match. Grayson and Snelling put on 193 after coming together with the score 1/12. Balnarring is defending 192 against Tyabb and the Yabbies are a third of the way there, resuming at 1/40 this weekend. Chris Murphy top scored for the Saints with 67, Brad Watson hit 43 and David Ross 40 to help their side

to almost 200. Adam DiTrocchio was the pick of the Yabbies’ bowlers with 3/29 while Sam Holland-Burch also snared 3/55 from 17 overs. Dromana will resume on day two 209 runs behind Skye but with all 10 wickets still in hand. Skye batted first on Saturday and made 227, Stephen Smart top scoring with 82, while Pat Clinch made 62. Zacc Klan was the best of the Dromana bowlers with 4/35. Dromana hit 18 runs in the final four overs of the day.

Time for a change FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt The Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League (MPNFL - trading as PCNSA) has approved the collective withdrawal of membership of Casey Cardinia FNL clubs. The clubs have been granted conditional approval (subject to some administrative requirements) to establish their own administration and governance, which will be centred within a new administration wing at Casey Fields. According to AFL South East General Manager, Jeremy Bourke, given the unique structure of the MPNFL (governance of three seperate leagues), the collective withdrawal of membership of a league was an unprecedented and complex process. “As such, the discussions that have been conducted between all parties over the past few months have been equally unique. AFL South East would like to thank and acknowledge all parties for the respectful and measured manner in which these discussions have taken place, leading to an amicable resolution,” Bourke said in a statement. The inauguration of an administration and Board focused exclusively on the operational needs and strategic development of the league heralds an exciting new era for the Casey Cardinia clubs. This in no way diminishes the contribution made by the MPNFL to the management and development of the competition over 20 years. In fact, without that contribution many CCFNL clubs may not be in existence today. “Football Netball clubs within the South East growth corridor have always maintained a strong community connection,

a high degree of popularity and a diverse range of offerings. AFL South East will provide whatever support is required to ensure the new structure builds on these elements and enhances their dynamics,” Bourke said. It is understood that the under the new management structure, Casey Cardinia clubs have forecast a profit of beyond $100,000 in 2015. AFL South East will oversee the management of the competition. Exciting initiatives including videoing every match and an online footy show are amongst the plans. It is an exciting time for the Casey Cardinia Clubs. However, it turns the microscope back onto the PCNSA management and board. There are a number of Nepean and Peninsula clubs disgruntled with the management of their leagues and this show of strength from Casey Cardinia clubs may just give them the confidence to stand up and be heard. The reality is that the MPNFL has not developed over the past 20-plus years and it’s time for an overhaul. Footy clubs need it, players need it and most of all, supporters need it. AFL South East have an enormous amount of experience within the management of the organisation and are supported by the AFL. They are in place to support, grow and develop football in this region. Casey Cardinia clubs have allowed them to do what they (AFL South East) are here to do. It’s time others put their personal agendas aside, do what’s right for football in our region and let AFL South East get on with the job.
