Warnie baled up for festival Man of straw: Shawne Rubinstein, daughter Emily, family pet, Gus, and their yet-to-be-finished “Warnie” scarecrow.

Picture: Yanni

AFTER a year’s break, the Mornington Peninsula Hinterland Scarecrow Festival and Trail is about to return with Shawne Rubinstein already having someone in mind for his scarecrow.

Mr Rubinstein and wife Lisa Panuccio, of Red Hill, are busy building a scarecrow of cricketer Shane Warne.

“He’s Australia’s most popular cricketer, favourite larrikin and the best bowler this country has seen,” Mr Rubinstein said.

The couple is hoping to do justice to Warnie with a double-sided scarecrow. They plan to inject some humour by immortalising a few infamous off-the-pitch moments – including his love of baked beans.

“They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery, so you’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out, but it will be family friendly,” Mr Rubinstein said.

Up to 40 families, businesses, artists and schools will be supporting the scarecrow event which runs 16 September to 3 October.

Participants are welcome to join in the fun by building a scarecrow to add to the touring trail and win prizes, whether they live in the region or not. The organisers will match up hosts and scarecrow makers.

The first prizes of $300 will go to this year’s Best Aussie Icon Scarecrow and Best Traditional Scarecrow. For the first time an Artist’s Permanent Sculpture Competition will have a $1500 first prize, with other competitions and prizes.

The scarecrows have evolved into a community art form and can be seen in front of gardens, shop fronts, mazes and vineyards around Red Hill, Main Ridge, Arthurs Seat, Balnarring, Merricks, Merricks North and the back areas of Dromana.

They come in all shapes, sizes and colours and can be traditionally built or made from hay bales, farmyard relics or be an art installation made from papier mache. Their appearance and personality is only limited by imagination.

Go to scarecrowfestival.org.au for competition details and to register.

Extra time sought for expenses policy Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FOLLOWING months of accusations and claims of accounting inaccuracies and overspending, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors are struggling to agree on the definition of expenses.

The expenses are separate to councillors’ $28,000 yearly remuneration; $85,000 for the mayor.

Shire officers last Monday asked for an extra month to prepare a draft of the

councillor expenses policy by 31 August.

Legal advice in March cast doubt on the validity of a previous policy which limited each councillor to spending up to $4000 a year on such things as conferences, seminars and courses, giving a total $16,000 over a four-year term.

Included in the issues the new policy is attempting to clarify are the definition of “delegate expenditure”, “professional development” and “entertainment” (with no alcohol); setting “allowable expenditure”; and setting mileage payments (at the moment councillors can

claim $1.07 a kilometre for a six-cylinder vehicle but the Australian Taxation Office limit is 66 cents).

Maddocks Lawyers advised that expenses approved by council were lawful, even if they exceeded $4000 in a year and $16,000 within four years and council could not force repayment.

The shire has repeatedly refused requests by The News for up to date figures on spending by individual councillors, saying only that they will be available in the next annual report.

Controversy around councillor ex-

penses came to a head earlier this year when councillors were given a table outlining their individual expenses up to the end of January.

According to a table included in a councillor briefing, two councillors were over the $16,000 expenses entitlement: Cr Antonella Celi by $14,810 and Cr David Gibb, $3147 over.

Chief financial officer Matt Hubbard said the extra expenses incurred by Crs Celi and Gibb had been approved by “council resolution” for them to attend “additional professional education pro-

grams governed by examinations”.

He said this type of spending was available to all councillors.

However, some councillors disputed the accuracy of the figures.

On 26 April Cr Hugh Fraser successfully moved a motion that “[shire] management requires Cr Celi to pay to council by 10 September 2016 any sum in excess of the sum of $19,500 on Cr Celi’s conferences and seminars account in the books of the council incurred over the current term of the council”.

Eye on the bullseye: Jamie Burnett on target at the Frankston Archery Club in Baxter. Picture: Gary Sissons

Archers aim high for medals AN archery club has hit the bullseye with several of its members taking out top honours at recent national and state championships.

The Frankston Archery Club, based at Baxter Park, has 122 members and is targeting more amid hopes for an upgrade of facilities.

Club president Brian Fitton says the club is punching well above its weight in archery competitions.

“We took gold, silver and bronze at the Victorian Open State Championships five weeks ago,” he said.

Mr Fitton says it only takes “a month or so” for the average beginner to get up to speed and the club offers a free ‘come and try’ session on a Saturday morning for anyone “aged eight to 80” before a four-week basic archery course is undertaken.

“We put a bow in their hands, give them a safety lecture and guide them to shoot correctly.”

He said people of all ages and backgrounds are members

of the archery club. Members with disabilities are welcome to try to hit targets up to 80 metres away.

The club president singled out 14-year-old archer Harris Grant as a future star of the sport.

The teenager has been comfortably beating some of the best adult archers in the country at competitions.

“We’ve also got members winning state medals who have been shooting for six months because our coach Hans Wright is a twice Olympics coach.”

The Frankston Archery Club, formerly known as Bowmen of Frankston, was established 51 years ago.

“Hopefully we can get some upgrades soon with the help of council to have some indoor facilities,” Mr Fitton said. See facebook.com/ FacFrankstonArcheryClub or email frankstonarcheryclub@gmail.com for information about the Saturday ‘come and try’ sessions.

Pt Nepean ‘needs broad approach’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE focus of the master plan eventually adopted by the state government for Point Nepean National Park is likely to take a broad approach, rather than focussing just on developing the Quarantine Station precinct.

The plan will take account of Point Nepean’s connections to Point Lonsdale, the marine national park, its occupation and use by Aborigines as well as “appropriate” commercial and educational developments.

A report being released this week on the results of public consultations earlier this year is seen as the first step towards the adoption of a master plan largely based on one favoured by the state in 2010.

Shelley Penn, hired as a consultant to facilitate the public consultation process by Parks Victoria, said on Friday it was important for the government to “act and act quickly” after the adoption of a master plan.

One of her recommendations is that extra time be given to Parks Victoria in producing its master plan.

“I worry if they have to rush to meet an artificial deadline,” Ms Penn said.

“I want them to do it properly.”

Ms Penn said there was a need for “other expertise around the economic analysis” and for the government to “avoid [the master plan] sitting there with nothing being done”.

“There was resounding agreement [resulting from the public consultations] that Point Nepean has the values of a national park, with high conser-

SHELLEY Penn’s research has shown Point Nepean National Park means “different things to many” and points to the need for this to be relected in a master plan being prepared

by Parks Victoria.

vation values and varied and layered histories,” Ms Penn said.

She said the adopted master plan would need to “give the community a sense of what could happen”.

“The government would then need to identify early actions, but not necessarily those that require large amounts of money.”

Ms Penn said the differences required to the 2010 master plan included enlarging the scope of the plan to include economics, the marine sanctuary, cultural and ecological links between Point Nepean and Point Lonsdale, maritime history (shipwrecks)

and “what is unique about the national park and its potential attractions to visitors”.

“Point Nepean can mean different things to many people. [Since the 2010 plan] there has been a richer appreciation of the significance of the park.”

Ms Penn said the final master plan must assess the “carrying capacity” of the park, accessibility and its “seasonality”.

“How many people are too many?

We need to balance this against potentially damaging the park. There’s so much potential, but this is a hard not to crack.”

Ms Penn stressed the importance of choosing the “right operators” to provide accommodation and educational services.

She was critical of the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the state government and the University of Melbourne in the leadup to the 2 July federal election.

The then state Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water, Lisa Neville, said the agreement for university to establish a marine research centre in part of the heritage listed former quarantine station would not pre-empt outcomes of the process by Parks Victoria “that will inform the Point Nepean master plan that is currently underway”.

Ms Neville said the federal government’s $2.1 million would have been lost if the state had not reached agreement with the university.

Ms Penn called for the MOU to be “publicly released”, saying that it did not support Melbourne University being the preferred occupier.

“The master plan should be open to all [educational] options and my report recommends the MOU be set aside by Parks Victoria.”

Ms Penn feared the involvement of Melbourne University “might be considered a fait accompli”.

Ms Penn’s report – to be followed by another after release of the draft master plan – also covers the use of heritage-listed buildings at Point Nepean, Aboriginal heritage, the impact and management of such events as the annual polo tournament and music festivals.

Netballer courts radio listeners RETIRED Tyabb netball star Bianca Chatfield has joined the new EON Sports Radio as co-host of the breakfast show.

Celebrity manager Glenn Wheatley launched the national 24-hour sports radio station in Melbourne last week.

Chatfield grew up in Tyabb and attended the Tyabb campus of Flinders College. She remains involved in sport through her two leadership businesses, her academy for the next generation of star netballers, and as president of the Australian Netball Players’ Association.

Chatfield began playing netball on the Mornington Peninsula aged 11 and, at 18, was one of the youngest netballers ever to represent Australia.

She is a Commonwealth Games gold and silver medallist and world champion. She played 240 games with the Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Vixens, captaining the latter for several years and winning six premierships – four with the Phoenix and two with the Vixens.

A POLICE undercover operation in Rosebud led to the arrest of seven people, Thursday 14 and Friday 15 July.

Following the sting police searched properties in Panorama Drive, Tootgarook and Weeroona St, Rye, and arrested a 49-year-old Tootgarook woman on charges of trafficking methamphetamines and cannabis. She has been bailed to appear at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 12 August.

Also arrested was a 42-year-old Tootgarook woman on charges of possessing the proceeds of crime. She was bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court on 25 August. A 19-year-old Dromana man has been charged with trafficking methamphetamines and bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court on 25 August.

On Friday 15 July police executed search warrants at Lawson Crescent and Raymond St, Rosebud. A 29-year-old Rosebud man and 35-year-old Tootgarook woman were charged with trafficking methamphetamines and bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court on 25 August.

A 46-year-old Rosebud man has been charged with possessing cannabis and a 39-year-old Rosebud man has been charged with trafficking cannabis. Both have been bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court on 25 August.

Anyone with information about drug activity can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Rifle found in drugs bust DETECTIVES searched a Frankston house, Thursday 14 July, and found a fully functioning clandestine drug laboratory – as well as a .22 rifle.

Detective Sergeant Paul Busuttil, of the

Frankston Crime Investigation Unit, said police found sufficient quantities of methyl amphetamines to make “substantial amounts” of the drug ice.

Two men were arrested. A 60-year-old, of Frankston, faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last week charged with possessing precursor chemicals, possessing materials to manufacture drugs, possessing and trafficking drugs and possessing an unregistered firearm. He was bailed to reappear at a committal mention on 4 November.

The 40-year-old, of Avonsleigh, was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in September on charges of possessing and trafficking a drug of dependence.

“It’s always good when we recover drugs and it’s a special bonus when we catch the people manufacturing drugs and also taking guns off the streets,” Sgt Busuttil said.

Woman dies in fire A WOMAN died after setting herself alight in Rye last week. A passing driver saw the woman, 65, on fire opposite her home near the intersection of Peter and Betty streets. He and a garbage truck driver used an extinguisher to douse the flames around 7am but the woman was already dead.

Emergency services were called to the scene about 7.15am.

Police spokesperson Natalie Webster said the matter was not being treated as suspicious. An arson chemist attended the scene.

Anyone with any information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au Anyone needing held should call Lifeline, 13 11 14.

Speed cut SPEED limits on Ponderosa Place – better known as the freeway off-ramp between Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Nepean Highway, Dromana – will be cut from 80 to 60kmph.

Victoria Police and residents pushed for the speed limit reduction, which came into effect on Monday 11 July.

Mornington Peninsula Shire staff analysed the road’s conditions and assessed them against VicRoads’ speed limit guidelines.

Factors contributing to the speed limit reduction include the road’s crash history, high recreational and tourist traffic, large numbers of truck movements from the concrete plant, the upcoming Aldi store and the abutting industrial precinct.

The reduced speed limit will be complemented by centre median improvement works on Ponderosa Place expected to be completed in the next two months.

Tools stolen Hedge fire

Drugs and ammo: The tow truck has been impounded for a month.

Tow truck gets a lift A SOMERVILLE man had his tow truck impounded for a month after he was caught driving while disqualified in Balnarring on Wednesday.

Somerville Highway Patrol members spotted the yellow tow truck travelling along Balnarring Rd with false plates about 8am.

Police stopped the unregistered Ford truck and gave the driver a roadside oral fluid test which indicated the presence of illicit drugs. They then searched the truck and found rounds

of live ammunition and drug paraphernalia.

The 25-year-old driver was found to be disqualified. His truck was impounded for 30 days and he will have to pay $950 to get it back.

The man is expected to be charged on summons at a later date in relation to drug driving, disqualified driving, drive unregistered vehicle, use false plates and possession of ammunition without a licence.

A HEDGE was set light outside a medical clinic in Victoria St, Hastings, on Saturday evening, 23 July. Strong winds and rain put out the fire before it could take hold. Mornington Peninsula detectives are reviewing CCTV footage in the hope of finding the offender.

Kitchen raided AN aged care centre in Mornington was robbed of electrical items overnight Saturday 23 July. Offenders jemmied the kitchen door of the Tanti Av premises and stole blenders, mixing equipment and meat slicers valued at $4500.

THIEVES entered an unlocked garage of a house in Palmerston Av, Dromana, and stole tools, drill kit and keys, overnight Saturday 23 July.

They stole keys but appear to have been unable to steal a car.

Hungry thieves SNACK foods were stolen from the Melbourne Business School, Mt Eliza, overnight Friday 22 July. Police said thieves forced electric gates at the Kunyung Rd property and broke a window to enter an office building.

TVs burgled A Panasonic DVD, and Sanyo and Sonic TVs valued at $1400 were sto-

len from a holiday house in Beachurst Av, Dromana, last week. Thieves forced a garage door and then forced an internal door to the house. Knots tied in sailing ropes may offer a clue to his or her maritime leanings.

Car hits window A CAR crashed into the front of a furniture shop at Peninsula Homemaker Centre, Mornington on Tuesday morning.

The 2004 Ford Fiesta, driven by a 70-year-old woman, went through the plate glass window of the Fantastic Furniture showroom at 10.45am. The driver was said be “in shock�.

Sergeant Daniel Patten, of Mornington police, said the “usual scenario; wrong pedal� was possibly to blame for the accident.

Kitchen fire

CFA crews were able to contain a fire in the kitchen of a house in Mt Martha, on Friday 15 July.

A neighbour called the fire brigade at 12.40pm after seeing smoke billowing from the roof of the house in Balcombe Drive.

Firefighters found an electrical fault in a ceiling fan in the pantry was the cause of the fire which they put out quickly.

No one was home at the time.

Councillors’ expenses

A crane aboard a barge is used to lift 15 tonne concrete panels which broke off Mornington pier during a stome two weeks ago.

Picture: Yanni

Continued from Page 1 The motion – backed by Crs Fraser, Tim Wood, Lynn Bowden, Tim Rodgers and Graham Pittock and opposed by Crs Gibb, David Garnock, Bev Colomb, Andrew Dixon and Anne Shaw – came six weeks after Maddocks Lawyers had cast doubt on council being able to force repayment. “Given that council has previously approved those expenses, we do not think that there would be any legal avenue open to council to now compel their repayment,â€? the legal advice stated. “The most that council can do ‌ is to request that the relevant councillors repay the relevant expenses. It will then be for those councillors to decide whether they will.â€?

The nine-page advice also stated that there was nothing to prevent council from approving expenditure above the $16,000 a year “limits�.

The shire has not made public the cost of the legal advice.

In a letter to shire CEO Carl Cowie this month Stuart Allen, of Dromana, who says he has two decades’ worth of experience as a consultant in the public service sector, expressed dismay and disillusionment that “underlying issues in the recent councillor expenses saga have not been fully published in an open and transparent way�.

From his perspective, the main issue was not Cr Celi’s obligation to repay but the “failures within the shire’s management and administrative processes that would allow such a basic discipline to be breached or compromised�.

Mr Stuart, while finding Cr Celi’s attitude “repugnant�, was none the less scathing about the legal advice which 19 times used the expression “we think� or “we do not think�.

While being disappointed by the legal advice he also criticised the instructions provided to Maddocks by shire staff as being “sadly lacking�. While Cr Celi would be judged by voters in her Seawinds Ward according to Mr Allen, “The shire’s management clearly comes out of this saga far more acrimoniously in the eyes of the shire community than Cr Celi�. “Perhaps it is now an appropriate time to introduce a system whereby all councillors – irrespective of the amount involved – must provide details of the measurable benefits that the ratepayers of the Mornington Peninsula Shire will receive as a direct result of the councillor’s attendance and participation at the conference, seminar or training course,� Mr Allen stated in his letter to Mr Cowie. “I have seen first-hand how politicians use ‘study trips’ as a way of exploring ‘life’s opportunities’ post their parliamentary careers. “Perhaps the level of jaundice that I hold toward many of our elected representatives at all levels of government makes me more cynical about the motives of the individual; are they truly altruistic in standing for council, or is it but a stepping stone toward greater political ambition/ career enhancement? “Perhaps if tighter controls and disciplines are placed on attendances at “beanfeast� type gatherings and the like, the potential for councillors to be far more transparent – and definitely more accountable - in the way that they use ratepayers’ funds will occur.�

Heavy lifting: Contractors are dwarfed by the concrete panels ripped from Mornington pier during a storm two weeks ago. The panels were secured to the pier structure by bolts which appear to have been pulled loose during the battering by waves.

Pictures: Keith Platt

Failure of pier being ‘assessed’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PARKS Victoria says it has “full confidence in the structural integrity and longevity of Mornington pier� despite losing nine wave screen panels, top deck planking, handrails and a seat in a storm two weeks ago.

The 15 tonne concrete panels were torn from the pier during the Tuesday 12 July storm when 60 knot winds were recorded.

Port Phillip and Westernport chief ranger Reece Taranto said damage was restricted to the wave panels attached to the $18 million pier – not the structure itself.

He said a marine contractor made an early morning assessment the day after the storm and arranged for a barge and crane to be floated in to lift the panels out.

Divers working down below in a “weather window� on Wednesday and Thursday last week hitched the damaged panels to a crane which hoisted them onto semi-trailers to be taken to a Mornington warehouse to be assessed.

“The outer section of the pier is now closed, but members of the public can access the inner section, including the lower landing, as these areas were not damaged, “Mr Taranto said. “Once the pier has been properly assessed, we will reopen the areas that are safe to use. “But, until marine engineers have had a chance to assess the damage and determine the best approach to repairs, it will be difficult to put a timeframe on when repairs will be completed.�

Mr Taranto said marine engineers were determining the best approach to strengthening the panels’ structure before the next big blow.

The pier has wave screens on both sides to protect the harbour from storms that have damaged or destroyed moored boats several times since the 1980s.

Despite the high cost of the pier works, the harbour still remains unprotected from storms coming from the north to northeast.

Successive state governments, through Parks Victoria, have spent about $18.5 million on Mornington pier since 2010. The Labor government spent $3.5 million on the middle, 53-metre section in 2010-11.

Repairs to the outer section - closed in August

2010 after a series of storms damaged pylons and dislodged top deck planks - remained unfunded.

In June 2011, The News reported the outer section was in danger of collapsing after engineers found 20 per cent of the old pylons had failed or were about to fail and were not supporting the top deck. About half of the others were in “average condition� and the outer section was “one big storm away� from becoming irreparably damaged.

In May 2012 the Liberal government announced it would spend up to $15 million to replace the outer section. This was the lion’s share of $23 million in local port infrastructure upgrades that year with Mornington MP David Morris garnering plaudits for his lobbying efforts.

Work to replace the outer section started in early 2014 and was supposed to be finished in time for Christmas, but was delayed due to a combination of bad weather (three big storms) and technical problems.

These included reattaching the concrete wave screens using a different, stronger system by divers who could not work in rough weather.

More than 250,000 people visit the pier every year.

Sailors reap rewards for skills and rescues THREE of Mornington Yacht Club’s four nominations won prizes at the annual Yachting Victoria Awards held at Sandringham Yacht Club, Sunday 19 June.

The awards celebrate sailing in Victoria and recognise the achievements made through various programs and regattas.

Nick Sharman and James Grogan were named Youth Sailors of the Year and selected to represent Australia at December’s World Youth Championships in Auckland.

Sophie Ciszek was named Yachting Victoria’s Female Sailor of the Year.

This follows her success as a competitor in the 2015-16 All Women’s team in the Volvo Around-the-World Ocean Race.

John Mills, Tanya Lawton and Jason Ettridge won Yachting Victoria’s President’s Award for rescuing three fishermen off Mornington on Saturday 19 March before the day’s racing had begun.

The trio, on the club’s start boat, Retriever, spotted a flare and reached the disabled boat which had sunk to the point where only the tip of the bow was showing and the men were in the water.

Despite a cold southerly wind and big swell, Mills, Lawton and Ettridge managed to haul the fisherman aboard and tie a rope to the stricken boat’s bow. While trained nurse Lawton attended the rescued men, Mills skippered the boat at a walking pace, with the sunken boat in tow, back towards the harbour.

The Coast Guard soon arrived to take over the tow while the cold fishermen were taken to shore.

Mornington CEO Rod Austin said the fishermen’s warm clothes were weighing them down in the water.

They could hardly keep their heads

above water, and were shocked and exhausted.

While their new boat had all the necessary safety gear, its fibreglass transom had been pulled away by the weight of the outboard and water was rushing in over the stern.

“It could have been a whole lot worse if they [the rescuers] were not there and able to react as they did”, Mr Austin said. “And, when the fishermen were taken care of, the race team, although late, was able to go back out and run the races for that day.”

Unity against sky rail on Frankston line Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON councillors have finally adopted a united front against any possibility of sky rail along the Frankston line after unanimously backing rail under road as Frankston Council’s official position on level crossing removals.

Councillors last month deferred a decision on opposing elevated rail last month.

Frankston Council’s decision to formally oppose elevated rail follows neighbouring Kingston Council’s stance

against sky rail adopted in May. At last week’s council meeting Frankston councillors voted to tell the state government tthey did not support elevated rail to separate rail and road at Seaford Rd in Seaford and Skye/Overton Rd crossings in Frankston.

But council’s adopted position on a third level crossing removal, at Eel Race Rd in Seaford, could put council on a collision course with the state government.

Councillors backed a council officer report that proposed the Eel Race Rd level crossing, near Patterson River Secondary College, remain in place due to

lower road traffic at the crossing.

It costs about $150 million to remove each level crossing and council would prefer the money earmarked for Eel Race Rd works to be funnelled towards Frankston train station upgrades or the electrification of the rail line to Baxter.

“We have assessed the level crossing removal options at each nominated site and reached a considered and well balanced decision that is in the best interests of the Frankston community,” mayor Cr James Dooley said.

“There still remains the question of local geology, which will be explained by the Level Crossing Removal Authority

to council later this year.

“We will not support any option that considers the removal of housing and both council and the community have made it clear that the sensitive coastal environment in Frankston is highly valued and must be protected.”

Council says it will back road under rail if the Eel Race Rd level crossing is removed.

The Labor state government has signalled it does not intend to back away from its plan to remove the Eel Race Rd crossing.

“We won’t break our promise to this community,” Bob Neilson, a spokes-

man for Acting Public Transport Minister Luke Donnellan, said. “We said we would get rid of this dangerous level crossing and we will.”

Despite both councils’ opposition to sky rail Simon Johnson, founder of the noskyrail.com.au group, still fears the state government has plans for elevated rail along some parts of the Frankston line.

“There will be some form of sky rail – you can call it rollercoaster style – presented as an option on the Frankston line,” Mr Johnson said when he addressed councillors at last week’s meeting.

The rise and fall of Western Port’s wallabies

By Ruth Gooch “A WALLADAY is a kangaree,” wrote my father in his school composition book back about 1912. Well, yes and no, for there are no distinguishing features; a wallaby is simply a small member of the kangaroo family.

There are numerous species and sub-species on the continent classified as “wallaby” (and some now extinct) but the two species known to have been associated with Western Port are the solidly built and rather shaggy-haired swamp or black wallaby (Wallabia bicolour), and the little red-bellied scrub wallaby (Thylogale billardierii) or pademelon, the latter name a corruption of an Aboriginal word first used about Sydney for the red-necked species.

Large mobs of kangaroos used to roam the Mornington Peninsula and were remarked on by the early explorers and settlers, but the pademelon favours thick scrubland, and swamp wallabies have an unusual preference for browsing shrubs and bushes. Living and feeding in the denser cover meant they were not very often noted.

Wallabies were, however, a favoured menu item of the Aboriginal clan, the Boon wurrung, and the lyrical George McCrae whose family had the Arhurs Seat run from 1845 to 1851, remarked in a letter of March 1845 that, “The blacks set fire to the top of the mountain for the purpose of driving out the wallabies and killing them. The fire gradually circled the brow of the mount like a diadem on the head of a monarch”.

The Mordialloc bushman of the 1850s, Horace Wheelwright, described the wallaby as “very good

Picture: Yanni eating” (unlike the kangaroo, which one settler described as being “tough as 40 cats”). By Wheelwright's time, wallabies had become rare on the peninsula, although apparently abundant at other parts of Western Port: the Polish naturalist, William Blandowski, described them in 1855 as a pest to farmers. Recording early days at The Gurdies in 1918, one old settler said that there were once “thousands of kangaroos and wallabies”.

Both pademelons and swamp wallabies were plentiful on Phillip Island in the mid-19th century, the numbers apparently reflecting the fact that they were comparatively undisturbed as the island was occupied only by the McHaffies and a few station hands.

Some made the cooking pot though and sometimes there were shooting parties coming from Melbourne.

Blandowski noted the island wallabies

but, “the other islands of Western Port do not possess the wallaby. The simplest way to account for the existence of this animal on Phillip Island is to suppose that an extensive bushfire, travelling westward, drove them over from the mainland ... only a very narrow passage (in one place, scarcely two chains in breadth) separates the island from the mainland. However, if it be admitted that the wallabies have swum across, there is no reason why the dingoes and other animals should not have done the same”.

Presumably wallabies can swim since kangaroos are known to do so: on land they only move their hind feet together, but when swimming, kick each leg independently.

Hydrographer John Lort Stokes who was at Western Port in the Beagle during 1842-43, noted that while digging for water on Sandy Island (off

the northern tip of Phillip Island and since submerged by the sea), his party “found in a clump of bushes a kangaroo [wallaby] very dark coloured, indeed almost black. His retreat being cut off, he took to the water and before a boat could reach him, sank”.

Before that, a British settlement report from Rhyll in 1826 noted that, “Wallowbies were said to frequent the bushland, but none could be captured or even seen by any of the officers who frequently went in pursuit of them”. In 1958, the then curator of the National Museum of Victoria, Edmund Gill, found bones of the “rufusbellied” wallaby or pademelon in Aboriginal middens at Forrest Caves.

But Gill did not indicate a time frame for the bones and it is possible that both the pademelon and the swamp wallaby were introduced to the island from Bass Strait by peripatetic sealers as a food source.

These men were ingenious, bartering with passing ships for rum and salting down mutton birds in summer to have a supply during the winter.

The Acclimatisation Society of Victoria held a dinner at the Menzies Hotel in Melbourne on 15 October 1861 and among the items supplied

by Phillip Island's John McHaffie for the menu (in French) was “wallaby au jus”. Wallaby shooting parties were outlawed on the island during the 1860s in the interests of acclimatisation, not to protect the wallabies, but the introduced species.

According to biologist, Jeanette Hope, the pademelon has now been extinct on both Phillip Island and the Western Port mainland since before 1900: they fell prey to predators such as feral cats, dogs, and foxes. Rabbits were also a contributing factor as they

graze on the same grasses, making less grass available for pademelons.

The swamp wallaby, the only surviving member of the genus Wallabia, is still found on Phillip and Quail islands, although neither wallabies nor kangaroos ever inhabited French, Churchill, or Sandstone islands.

Swamp wallabies are also still to be found in the peninsula's state parks.

The male is bisexual, but both male and female are of solitary habit. In recent years, a lone wallaby could sometimes be seen on Warringine Creek at Hastings, but a former park manager said that a housing development drove the species further south to the coastal area of Bittern.

Swamp wallabies about nine years and experts say they appear to be able to tolerate a variety of plants poisonous to many other animals, including bracken and lantana.

Despite the dominance of kangaroos on the continent, they have not had it all their own way, for “On the wallaby track”, or “On the wallaby”, became an expression used in earlier decades to describe itinerant men looking for work. The expression may have originated with Frederic McCubbin's famous 1896 oil painting, On the Wallaby Track, now in the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

The last word on wallabies can only go to my father who wrote in that distinctive and idiosyncratic way that children have of using the words they know – or not: “Walladays canter.”

Ruth Gooch's last published paper was, “Another look at Marn grook”, in Sporting Traditions, published

by Monash University. A list of her publications is on her website, www. ruth-gooch.com

Swans graze among the bay’s meadows DURING autumn numerous black swans were observed along the Sorrento foreshore. They were drawn to the area by the sea grass beds next to the Sorrento sea wall.

Sea grasses are known to be directly consumed by swans.

Sea grasses evolved 65 million years ago from land plants that returned to the sea. Intriguingly, they are the only flowering plants that can live and breed underwater, Sea grasses grow in sediment on the sea floor in shallow water where there is enough sunlight to support photosynthesis. The root structure tethers the seagrass and allows it withstand

sea buffering which then provides protection for the shore, through reduced wave action.

The capacity of sea grasses to baffle currents generally increases with increasing patch structure and size.

Protecting se agrass meadows is a direct and noninterventionist way of protecting assets on the shoreline from the effects of severe weather events and climate change.

Sea grass-algae beds are rated the third most valuable ecosystem globally (on a per hectare basis) and it is in everyone’s interest to understand their important role and support their preservation.

Sea grasses are nutrient sinks, filtering nutrients and maintaining coastal water health. The complex habitat of meadows enhances the diversity and abundance of animals. Food and shelter is provided for many organisms, and the meadows are a nursery ground for a broad range of marine species including many fish species found in Port Phillip.

These very productive sea pastures support many herbivore food chains.

The main threats to sea grasses are human activities associated with chemical damage from pollution and physical damage, such as boating and fishing or blocking light through

suspended sediment or burying sea grass beds.

Direct trampling on the sea grass exposed during low tide (sea grass is not lawn) is also a significant risk as more people visit our beach areas.

Therefore, care must be taken to minimise access to these sensitive areas, particularly if the seagrass is exposed at low tide. In addition, climate change will threaten seagrass beds with increased storm activity, changing sea depth and temperature and increased sun exposure.

Caring for our natural systems will ensure that the swans will return for years to come.

NEWS DESK Shire to sell lane A BALNARRING laneway designated as a road in an early 1900s subdivision, but now zoned green wedge, will be sold to a neighbouring Turner Rd land owner for $22,000.

But not everyone is happy with the sale, with a submission from a Myers Rd vineyard with restaurant and cellar door complaining that the sale will remove an important “buffer” between it and a neighbouring chicken farm.

The laneway, owned by Mornington Peninsula Shire, is not used for vehicle or pedestrian access, but is heavily vegetated and subject to an environmental significance overlay.

The 12.7m wide, 713.7m long strip of land runs between 234 and 238 Myers Rd, and along the eastern boundary of 7 Turners Rd. The plan to discontinue the land as a laneway was advertised in October last year, with only one submission, from the commercial vineyard at 238 Myers Rd. Unfortunately, the submitter attended the wrong council office and was not able to make a presentation at a previous submission committee meeting.

Lawyers representing the owners at 7 Turners Rd told the submission committee that the owner wanted to create a second access point to the property along a sealed road along the laneway due to bushfire safety concerns.

The council heard that sale of the laneway would effectively block access to the laneway for anyone else, but that the new owners had agreed to allow neighbours access for “emergency evacuation”.

The recommendation to sell the land was moved by Cr David Garnock and seconded by Cr Anne Shaw.

Ready to roll: Variety Club Big Bash competitors John Mackie, left, and John Crossin, prepare for another eventful journey in their Car 86.

Bashing their way to charity fun THE lure of the Outback is calling long-standing Variety Club Big Bash contestants John Crossin, John Mackie and Geoff Adshead.

The Mornington men are looking forward to another drive with their “family of 320 people from all walks of life” when they head for Darwin, Wednesday 10 August, and – hopefully

– arrive at the Top End, Saturday 20 August.

The drive takes in scenic country from Mildura to Wilpena Pound, Coober Pedy, Eridunda, Alice Springs, Kings Canyon, Tennant Creek and Katherine.

Over the past 13 years the men’s Car 86 has raised $242,000 for special needs kids on its an-

nual bashes. A function at Beaches of Mornington on Sunday 17 July raised $5620.

Last year Variety distributed almost $12 million to 135,878 special needs, disadvantaged and sick children.

Cars in the bash must be at least 30 years old, licenced, insured and roadworthy.

Cat busters condemned Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au

Cats call: Facebook page of the Cat Busters group contains several images of dead feral cats and urges culling of the wild animals. Picture source: Facebook

over the government’s allegedly “inhumane” plans to kill 2 million feral cats across Australia over five years.

Mr Hunt stuck to his guns saying the government eradicates feral cats in accordance with the RSPCA’s “criteria of humane, effective and justifiable culling”.

The Liberal MP for Flinders said the government has also allocated $4 million to the development of a poison called Curiosity to kill cats.

“It is a highly effective and humane feral cat bait that is currently being assessed for use and is expected to be available shortly.”

IMAGES on a Facebook page dedicated to the killing of feral cats have been called “disturbing” by federal Liberal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt.

Mr Hunt, appointed as Industry, Innovation and Science Minister in a Coalition government cabinet reshuffle last week, was contacted by The News for comment on the Cat Busters page while still Environment Minister.

In 2014 Mr Hunt launched a $10 million federal government program “to tackle feral cats”, as part of a Threatened Species Strategy, across Australia since the wild cats pose a threat to native animals.

Despite the government’s push to eradicate feral cats, Mr Hunt cautioned against people taking matters into their own hands.

“The images on the Cat Busters Facebook page are disturbing,” he said in a statement.

“The federal government condemns the messages and information portrayed on the site and will report any inhumane treatment of animals to the relevant state authorities.

“The federal government does not encourage individuals to shoot or trap feral cats.”

The creators of the Cat Busters page came under fire earlier this month when flyers were distributed in the Frankston area notifying residents stray cats (‘Who you gonna call? Not Cat Busters’, The News 19/7/16).

Cat Busters representative Matt Trim told The News the group does not shoot in residential areas or kill domestic stray cats, preferring to use cages to trap the errant pets during council mandated curfew times.

Mr Hunt faced criticism from global animal rights activists, including French actress Brigette Bardot and Steven Morrissey, the former singer of English indie band The Smiths,

Hastings salon cuts for a cause

Pooh la la: French students Slanislas (Stan), 15, Romain, 14, and Antoine, 15, help clean up Mt Martha beach. Picture: Supplied

French clean up Mt Martha IT was ooh la la but not c’est magnifique as six young French students helped to clean up Mt Martha beach.

The students – four boys and two girls aged 15 and 16 – are staying on the Mornington Peninsula for six weeks as part of a Southern Cross Cultural Exchange Program.

They will carry out conservation work at The Briars Park and Sweet Water Creek Reserve, Frankston.

As part of BERG Mt Martha’s coastal program, the students helped volunteers clean up the beach last Wednesday (July 20).

Recent strong westerlies had blown refuse on to the beach including fishermen’s bait bags, plastic, soft drink containers and lolly wrappings.

Donning gloves, the Gallic visitors also picked up cardboard coffee cups and beer bottles dropped by less con-

siderate beach visitors.

Altogether, four bags were filled for disposal.

Later, the visitors joined BERG Mt Martha volunteers mending broken beach fences and uncovering young plants buried by sand in the wild weather.

The hard work entitled them to morning tea of homemade ginger slice and cranberry and coconut biscuits washed down with coffee.

In the afternoon, BERG Mt Martha’s Sue Betheras took the six students along the estuary boardwalk to the old quarry.

The youngsters, fascinated by our unusual native animals, were keen to spot yabbies in the creek. Despite seeing plenty of yabby holes, the freshwater crustaceans failed to make an appearance.

The Salon of Hastings will be doing their part to help cut the chains of slavery on “Style For Life” day on 31st July.

They will be donating all the proceeds from the day’s trading to the cause, and joining hundreds of other salons around the country.

“This is a wonderful event, and we are thrilled to be involved”, said The Salon of Hastings owner Rebecca Wood.

“We are hoping for a really busy day, with as many customers as we can sit in chairs, with 100 percent of the proceeds from the day donated to not-for profit organisation Hagar.

Hagar patron, award-winning actor and director Rachel Griffiths said “The United Nations estimates that over two million people will be sold into slavery every year”.

“By taking part in Style For Life day Australians can truly transform the lives of women and young people in our nearby countries like Cambodia, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

“Every dollar from your service will provide survivors with a skill like hairdressing, giving them economic power and freedom to build themselves up from slavery,” said Grifiths.

Hagar is an international charity that works to restore the lives of women and children who have survived severe human rights abuse including rape, paedophilia and modern slavery. With specialist recovery programs in Cambodia, Afghanistan and Vietnam, Hagar provides trauma counselling, intensive education programs and career training opportuni-

ties for people who would otherwise have had no chance of a future.

“Style For Life” day will be held on Sunday July 31,between 10am and 2pm at The Salon of Hastings at 8 High Street, Hastings.

The salon will be offering $35 Hollywood blow waves and curls.

ALL MONEY from the day is given back to Hagar Australia. Call the salon 59 79 2229 and make yourself feel good in more ways than one.

LETTERS racing in NSW, but what does this entail?

Maybe this is an excuse for a weak government pandering to the under-engaged button pushers, not to do anything positive about an already unlawful act. The powers that be are too slack to enforce the law.

Now the bleeding hearts are on the job, without any common sense of course, but how should their advocacy of the wholesale slaughter be carried out? Mass shootings by gun-crazy individuals for recreation? Dogs tied down and clubbed to death? Sent to a racetrack in Macau where a similar fate will await them? Would these whingers physically bring the dogs to meet their executioners? I wonder?

It is a bit hard to find homes for thousands of unexpected guests at short notice when the animal shelters are already overflowing.

GAP (Greyhound Adoption Program) and the Greyhound Safety Net have particular assessments of the dogs surrendered for adoption and of the people interested. Think about it.

Maureen Federico, Frankston South

Let the sea in and park boats at their peril What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object? The spectacular tonnes of water exploding skywards from Mornington pier and nine heavy concrete anti-wave fortress slabs thrown aside is what (“Wild waves batter rebuilt pier” The News 19/7/16).

All to protect a few boats moored in our beautiful harbour.

I foresee lots of these incidents in the future, especially with worse storms. I’ve seen worse.

Perhaps we should revert to a simple stout pier and let the sea flow wherever it wants.

It was thus so, once.

Stop boats from mooring in the harbour or allow it strictly at their own risk. Park elsewhere.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Climate too far Mornington Peninsula Shire has clearly done an outstanding job in combating climate change, but could it please ease briefly off the throttle so that we can taste a little global warming?

Ron Simpson, Mornington

Concrete proof Tim Rintoul seeks to distance the Somers Residents Association (SRA) from the 5.2 km concrete path network adopted by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (“Majority support” Letters 5/7/16).

However, a MPSC report dated 14 December 2009, shows the SRA had initiated the proposal, sought support from the MPSC, with council then wanting a user pays special charge scheme to finance 50 per cent. An SRA sub-committee was formed to continue work on the proposed pathway network according to the council document.

Until recently, SRA newsletters promoted “an exposed aggregate narrow meandering footpath” as a supposedly good fit for a coastal village.

Somers people didn’t realise exposed aggregate is merely a different surface finish for concrete paths - it’s still concrete.

Many mature coastal trees, a village feature, would need removal due to footpath codes for width and height clearance, yet the SRA persisted with the notion of “minimal vegetation removal”. Expressing concerns about potential vegetation loss was howled down by pro-concreters, suggesting we care more for trees and bushes that public safety. Caring for the environment and potential impacts on future generations, doesn’t mean caring less about safety.

Designed as a “walkable community” with easements and walkways connecting streets with beaches and village amenities, safe options exist for pedestrians and cyclists moving around Somers. Further low impact options could be employed to address traffic or safety concerns.

The SRA failed to emphasise low impact options, preferring to push the high impact

concrete path network more suited to large town centres. Somers is not a suburb, nor do Somers people want that.

It’s too late for the SRA to lay all blame on council for attempting to ruin our coastal village character. Both should heed the 500 signatories to the VCAT applications opposing the Somers pathway network scheme. VCAT’s vice-president thought it a significant number.

Pam Bannister, Somers Village Community Association

Take vote on path As the VCAT advocate for Somers ratepayers opposing the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s proposed concrete footpath scheme, I support the comments of Andrew Satchwell and David Gill (“Are we getting the councillors we deserve?” and “Answers for all” Letters 19/7/16).

Although the council continues to represent us as a tiny minority, in fact more than a third of Somers ratepayers are part of the VCAT action.

On the basis of the last Census, we represent the majority of the ratepayers who live permanently in Somers. More residents have also expressed their opposition to the path since they have become aware of the details proposed by the council.

More than 100 of the submissions sought by the council opposed the Somers scheme, with only about half a dozen in favour. The council has ignored this weighting.

Eight other similar schemes on the peninsula have been deferred by the council after formal surveys found overwhelming opposition in all eight locations. Why have Somers ratepayers not been similarly surveyed?

Ratepayers should know that they pay the council’s legal bills. It would save a good deal of money if the council deferred the Somers scheme and genuinely consulted with those they claim to represent. Dr Chris Atmore, Somers

Spare the greyhounds Monday night 11 July TV was abysmal, as ever, so I tried radio. Wow, what luck, I found 3AW and was delighted to hear Andrew Bolt and his co-presenter on the subject of greyhound racing with their voices of reason. But two women who called in to speak were not so, one even calling for the dogs to be killed. I presume they were “animal lovers”.

The greyhound racing industry is now under siege over a few, very few disreputable people abusing the privilege of owning a racing dog by forcing that dog into the situation of a live kill.

Now, countless families who love both racing and rescue dogs, based on the fact that they are intelligent, healthy, beautifully elegant and easy to live with, are in a state of real distress at the predicted result of a ban on greyhound

Reinstate science jobs

Is it time to now question the legacy left behind by the former environment minister, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, as he is shuffled off to innovate his new portfolio? Increased CO2 emissions; the Great Barrier Reef dying; 90 per cent decline in business investment into renewables; failed promises to stop the slaughter of our southern whales; slashed RET targets; approving shark culling; approved world scale polluting coal mine; species extinction increasing -.the list goes on.

History will judge this term in office. I for one am not sorry to see him leave.

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens, Blairgowrie

Hopefully Flinders MP Greg Hunt he’ll be more effective in his new role as Minister for Innovation and Science than he was Minister for the Environment. One would think this is a good move by [Prime Minister Malcolm] Turnbull, where it not for the fact that the new environment minister is Josh Frydenberg, an even stronger supporter of the coal extractive industry.

Do we really have to say goodbye to the Great Barrier Reef under the new Turnbull government?

Will Greg Hunt now reverse all the job cuts at the CSIRO? After all, he is Minister for Science, or am I mistaken as previously, that for him the name of the portfolio is entirely disconnected from what he actually does?

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Time for change

Rubbish roads

David Gill’s observations on our poorly performing council are spot on (“Are we getting the councillors we deserve?” Letters 19/7/16).

The rusted on rump group of conservative and self-serving long term inmates who stymie debate, protect their expense over runs and preclude any new ideas that might propel them into the 21st century, are a stumbling block to progress on the Mornington Peninsula.

Reports by the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ & Residents’ Association sent to the Minister of Local Government about the suspect behaviours and spending of certain councillors have met a conspiracy of silence or been put in the too hard basket. Two years have passed and nothing has resulted.

We are left with the problem whether there are sufficient courageous and community-minded peninsula ratepayers and residents to represent us at the October local council elections. The answer is no and the future looks bleak with more of the same old smoke and mirrors stuff.

Roads, rates and rubbish are relegated to council employee decisions and we learn about them after the event. We are all for pruning non-core promises and policies and smaller government which return a fairer result for all concerned.

For those remotely considering an opportunity to serve your community, remember that these positions come with a generous remuneration plus an elastic expense account and potential for overseas travel. Several of our councillors are having wonderful experiences, broadening their horizons, extending their future career options and handling home affairs very efficiently.

While lunch vouchers are no longer available, the food and beverage service at this council is second to none. Cars, clothes and comfortable working conditions are guaranteed. So why wait, contact your local travel agent, sorry Victorian Electoral Commission on13 1832 or website vec.vic.gov.au today and get booked in fast. You could be going places.

Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza Community Alliance

As a small business owner located in Mornington and a resident of Merricks North, I travel into Mornington most days, and have done so for the past two years.

In that time I have noticed such an accumulation of rubbish and debris along my route (Balnarring Rd, Mornington/Tyabb Rd) that beggars belief. I have reported this to the relevant authorities, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and VicRoads several times, by email and in person, to no avail.

I wonder what visitors to the peninsula must think, as the rubbish is certainly eye catching and not a good advertisement.

I have also noticed on travelling further afield, such as on the Moorooduc Freeway, the filth lying beside our roads is widespread and as far as I can see no effort has been made to clean it up as I have observed the same rubbish lying there for the past two years.

We live in such a beautiful part of the world, but slowly polluting it with carelessness and poor management of the surrounding environment.

office and also an ALP advisors’ house on the eve of the election.

Mr Dixon then goes on to criticise the Premier Daniel Andrews for having the temerity to put some funding in to his electorate. That is what a representative does but, unfortunately, Mr Dixon falls short in that category.

He couldn’t get the 788 bus route upgraded even though the state transport minister was in the next electorate. Mooroduc Primary School was ignored when Mr Dixon was the Minister for Education.

Perhaps things might happen if we ever become a marginal seat.

On a different note, to the small-minded anonymous person from P O Box 636. This is a free country with freedom of speech and if you persist, I will take it further. Incidentally, your spelling and grammar is woeful!

John Cain, McCrae

Call to action Nepean MP Martin Dixon criticised Doris Campbell for her letter on Penbus calling it a “neatly but futilely timed” political attack, presumably against [the Prime Minister Malcolm] Turnbull (“Facts about Penbus” Letters 12/7/16).

This is hypocritical, as Ms Campbell’s alleged “ambush” during the [federal] election campaign pales into insignificance when you compare it to the orchestrated raids by the Australian Federal Police accompanied by reporters and cameramen that were conducted on Labor Senator Conroy’s

Dangerous Pauline To Brian A Mitchelson (“Pauline’s payback” Letters 19/7/16) we agree to disagree. Former Prime Minister John Howard was strong on “the intelligence of the Australian people” and yet in response to Peerless Pauline’s June 1998 piece on “Aboriginal Australians and the United Nations are plotting to establish taxpayer funded Aboriginal states” Mr Howard responded “the speech she made last night and I’ve got to say it is not only an inaccurate, dishonest speech, but it verges on the deranged in various places.

She is fanning racist sentiment to run around Australia saying that native title is going to lead to taxpayer-funded Aboriginal states within Australia. Now, I mean that is just plain hysterical nonsense.”

Pauline’s maiden speech included “we are in danger of being swamped by Asians”. Now it is Muslims. Pauline is entitled, as are you. On the other hand millions of Australians as per the Senate voting beg to differ.

I believe Pauline spreads fear, it’s dangerous, and it’s catching.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Commemorating two years of war Compiled by Melissa Walsh WE call special attention to an advertisement in another column announcing the holding of a Public meeting at the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Thursday, August 4th at 8 p.m., to commemorate the anniversary of the Declaration of the War by England.

The meeting will be held in response to a request from the Premier of Victoria, that meetings should be held at the Centres throughout the whole State to commemorate the event.

After two years of this ghastly war, waged by the Allies for freedom, truth, justice and the fulfilment of honorable agreements between nations, it is fitting that the second anniversary of the war should be celebrated with all honor and solemnity.

The arrangements for the meeting are yet incomplete, but we are able to announce that Major Blezard, Commandant of the Military Camp, Langwarrin, and Captain Conder, Adjutant, will address the meeting. Both these officers have suffered from grievous wounds sustained in the operations on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

Further particulars will be supplied by handbills, but at the present time it may be noted that all returned soldiers are specially invited to be present. *** IN our report of the annual meeting of the Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society, published last week, we omitted to mention that the £15 10s got by raffle of pug dog by Mrs

Pownell was given to the Australian Red Cross fund. *** THE third of a series of socials, in connection with the Allies Fair, will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute on Thursday evening next.

On account of the Hall being engaged for the second anniversary celebrations of the declaration of war, on the previously arranged date, it will be held on 3rd August instead of the 4th. *** ON Monday afternoon about 200 returned soldiers were entertained by the Australian Club, at Clarendon House, Frankston. The lawn in front was laid out with occasional tables and decorated with flags and flowers, making a very pretty scene. After partaking of refreshments, the soldiers had a pleasant stroll round and about five o’clock returned to the city, well pleased with their day’s outing. *** A MEETING of the Frankston branch of the W.C.T.U. was held on Thursday afternoon, 20th inst, in the Methodist Sunday School, and was well attended. The President (Mrs Twining) occupied the chair. After the usual business had been dealt with the following ladies were elected officers for the ensuing twelve months — Miss Purves President ; Miss Watson, vice-President; Mrs McCormack, secretary ; Mrs Renouf, assistantsecretary ; Mrs Parker, treasurer (reelected); Mesdames Twining, Wastell and Young, sick visitants ; Mrs Gale

Kindergarten : Mrs Twining and Miss McComb, campaign organizers. *** ON Wednesday, 9th August, at 2 o’clock, Mr Bernard Michael will offer for sale, at Coop’s Hotel, Somerville, the property known as Mr H. P. Thornell’s, containing 38 acres, situated about a mile from Somerville railway station. It is well fenced and sub-divided, and 8 acres are planted with choice export apples. *** MRS Scott thanks the following ladies and gentlemen who so kindly left gifts of fruit, eggs, jams, cigarettes etc at the Post Office to be sent to the State School Patriotic League.

The goods were sent on Monday and checked by headmaster Mr Carroll, Misses Baxter, Sage, Scott, Mesdames Sage, Hurndell, Waldon, Helbfer, Bowly, Fulton, J. Grant, Scott, Messrs Dicker, Barclay Holly and Hawken. *** THE second of the social evenings in connection with the Allies Fair to be held on 1st and 2nd September, was held by the Misses Young and Gray in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday evening, at which there was a very good attendance.

A feature of the evening was the “Zoo” drawing competition at which each of the guests was provided with a card and pencil, and requested to draw the animal named on the corner of his or her card. Some very picturesque and startling drawings was the result. Mrs A. W. Taylor being de-

clared the winner by the vote of the majority. Songs were sung by Miss O’Grady, Miss H.Laurissen and Mr J. C. Garrood, which added considerable to the general enjoyment. Light refreshments were handed round at ten o’clock, after which a pleasant hour’s dancing was indulged in.

The gifts brought by the guests will prove a handsome and valuable addition to the stall of the hostesses at the forthcoming fair. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a sale of furniture at their room, Bay Street, Frankston, this (Saturday) afternoon, commencing at 2 o’clock, on account of various owners, a list of which appears in our advertising column. *** THE Queen Carnival, in connection with the Mechanics’ bazaar, promises to be a very exciting and payable contest. Tickets are selling rapidly and fairly evenly, up to the present, and the “tipping” will be safer left alone for a week or two longer. Each stallholder is working hard to have her representative Queen of the Allies.

Following are the names of the young ladies who have been nominated to represent the different stalls:— Great Britain, Miss N.Jolly; France, Miss Cunningham; Italy, Miss B. Rogers Russia, Miss Eva Young Belgium, Miss Hartland; Japan, Mrs Marks; Australia, Miss Gregory. *** MR Harry Skinner, the well known Scotch entertainer, was so much im-

pressed with the idea of erecting a monument to Frankston District Soldiers, that he has offered to provide a Scotch concert, to raise funds.

Mr Skinner intends bringing a first rate company, including Miss Emily Benson, a leading Melbourne vocalist, Dulcie Bland, winner of South Street Competitions, reciting and dancing, Mr James Chanter, the champion Piper of the Commonwealth, and other well known Society entertainers. Watch our columns for date, etc. *** THE steamer Innaminka, sold to a buyer in Hong Kong, is leaving Australian waters. Of all methods of keeping food stuffs, chemical preservatives are the least successful. *** ON Sunday, 30th July, a solar eclipse will be observable commencing about 11.50am. *** PRIVATE Peter McBride, son of our Agent-General in London, has been killed in action. *** ARBOR day, which had been postponed from a previous occasion, on account of rain, was held, at the Langwarrin school on Friday, July 21st, and on this occasion the weather was delightfully fine, and the event was very successfully carried through. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 July, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Mongrel: A love story about a dog called Monty

By Stuart McCullough WE called him a mongrel, not as a slur against his character but for a lack of information. To this day I have no idea as to his constituent parts. For all I know, he could easily have been one part terrier, one part cattle dog and one part astrophysicist. Having decided to purchase our new pup from the Lost Dog’s Home, we had arrived knowing that the process was, more or less, a lucky dip. As we toured the floor, there was plenty of barking as animals bayed for attention, but of all the dogs we saw that day, he was the only one to look excited to see us. The choice was easy.

There was always an element of mystery about him. Because no one was able to say precisely what he was, no one knew exactly what he would become. It was as though he had a secret identity. Some suggested that the length of his hind legs meant he would be a large dog. Others declared with confidence that he was as big as he was ever going to get. The dog said nothing.

The name was my father’s idea.

I don’t recall there being a short list or anything that could be loosely described as ‘consultation’. He was given a name and that was it. Having regard for the animal’s somewhat humble beginnings, my father thought it only right that we should make up for lost time and provide him with the most noble name we could imagine.

We named him Monty.

Having won his freedom from the Lost Dog’s Home, Monty the mongrel of indeterminate origin decided to live life to the fullest. He chased everything. He pursued us around the back-

PAGE 38

yard and scurried after birds through the scrub. He set off at great speed after rabbits and foxes. His energy seemed to know no limit. He even chased our orange Kombi van down the length of the driveway, giving up only after we pulled onto Coolart Road.

One day Monty pursued our van all the way to the road proper. Whether the thrill of the chase simply overcame him or he just forgot to stop running. Bursting into the public gaze, he kept galloping as though chasing the horizon. It was especially strange because, at the time, he had an ice-cream container around his neck. The container was supposed to stop him from scratching an abscess but it made him

Western Port News 26 July 2016

look like an astronaut.

As the dog burst out on the road, a chorus of children’s voices had alerted our parents to the fact that Monty had escaped into the wider world. The orange Kombi performed a rough u-turn and headed back search of our errant canine. In the time that it took us to turn the car around, a Council road crew filling in potholes had picked up our cosmonaut mutt. They placed our strange looking dog of unknown origin (but possibly from outer space) on the back of their truck and headed back towards the depot.

With all the power that the engine could muster, we got the Kombi up to nearly fifty kilometres an hour. We

considered it warp speed. Lucky for us, the Council truck was slower still and we – albeit not quickly – gained ground. Monty saw us coming. Unable to contain himself, he leapt from the truck tray, launching himself into the air. For that brief moment, he really was an astronaut.

Having landed on the bitumen, he was immediately hustled into our van and spent the next few weeks recuperating in the living room. I doubt that he ever wanted to move out. Some time later, we relieved him of the icecream container. But within seconds, he was scratching at his neck, more than ever. Perhaps it was simply a case of abscess makes the heart grows

fonder.

While completing the first flight from a council vehicle onto Coolart Road was quite an achievement, it was far from his greatest accomplishment. That came in 1982 when he was awarded first prize in the highly competitive and prestigious category of ‘Dog With the Waggliest Tail’ at the Tyabb Primary School Pet Fair. The rest of the competition didn’t stand much of a chance. When he was presented with a sash, it only made him wag his tail with even more vigour. I had thought, at the time, that he could have gone on to other, larger competitions – perhaps even have a crack at the National title – but it didn’t seem to matter to Monty. All the same, it was a title he wore with distinction long after the wag left him.

He was a part of our family, there’s no doubt. When I left home to go to University, Monty remained, patrolling the yard, the paddocks and the bush at the back of the block. He never grew an inch. The most he conceded to his advancing years was a slight greying around the mouth and stiffness in the way he walked. Still, he paraded through the yard as if it was his own personal kingdom. When the time finally came to move from this world into the next, Monty took one last walk across the paddock and into the scrub. He simply disappeared.

Monty was eventually found and is buried in our back yard. On a small wooden cross there is an inscription – ‘Here lies Monty – born a dog, died a gentleman’. The term ‘mongrel’ no longer fit him. He outgrew it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

A lot to like about the Kangas PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN proved once again on Saturday that it is not far off becoming a consistent competitive outfit after leading all afternoon to beat Pines.

The Kangaroos, who again had five Under 19s playing, jumped out of the blocks and snatched an early lead, one that they didn’t give up for the entire match.

Karingal assistant coach Leigh Poholke told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he thought the Kangaroos could “get the Pythons on the outside with their leg speed on the open spaces of Lloyd Park”.

Poholke was absolutely right. Many say that Langwarrin should have beaten Pines when they met earlier in the season, however, inaccuracy in front

PAGE 42

of goal cost them on that day.

History didn’t repeat itself. Pines was starved of the footy while the likes of Michael Parker and Nick Tuddenham dominated possession of the footy for the winners and Matty Naughton gave them first use in the ruck.

Mitch Cuthbert is an emerging defender and for a skinny kid still learning his craft, he continues to get better, makes the right decisions and attacks the footy. The Kangas need to invest in a gym membership for him.

Nick Hammill also gets a lot of responsibility each week as a key defender and continues to produce the goods.

There’s a lot to like about this young Kangas team, who will welcome back Sean Herdman soon too.

Kieren Albanese returned on Saturday after a couple of weeks off and en-

Western Port News 26 July 2016

joyed the fact that Jack Fisher wasn’t playing for Pines, booting a game high three goals.

Pines being opened up the way they were is a concern.

Great sides find a way to win.

For 98 per cent of the match on Saturday between Frankston YCW and Mornington, the Doggies led on the scoreboard. They also led in general play.

The visitors opened the match with the first four goals and led by 12 points at half time. The margin was seven points at three quarter time but Mornington still had their noses in front.

However, as all great sides do, the Stonecats found a way. They booted 3.1 to 1.1 in the final quarter to snatch a five point win, 6.11 (47) to 6.6 (42).

Brenton Credlin was a welcome return and one of the best on the field and Jai Coghlan, Lachy Wallace and

Craig Nankervis got to work when they needed to.

Will Goosey and Michael Gay were the best of the Dogs.

On paper, Mornington is still a quality outfit and their best is very good.

It’s been a wasted season.

Mt Eliza coach Troy Shannon faced his old side Edithvale-Aspendale for the second time in opposition colours and came out with a 12.8 (80) to 7.7 (49) victory.

Matt Stanley booted three goals for the winners while Jimmy Clayton and Jay Neratzoglou were outstanding in defence. ‘Neratz’ restricted Mick Meehan to just one goal.

The Redlegs set up the win with a six goal to one first quarter.

Bonbeach returned to the list of winners with a 12.12 (84) to 6.6.42 victory against Karingal.

The Sharks worked hard against the

breeze and were able to score with it, ensuring they got the valuable four points.

Dylan Jones and Mark Tyrrell were outstanding for the Sharks while Jake Kelly and Luke Van Raay shone for the Bulls.

A very undermanned Karingal had four Under 17s playing, as well as a host of Under 19s. Ruckman Grant Goodall and Michael Burke were two notable absentees.

Seaford and Chelsea were dead level on 3.5 apiece at half time on Saturday before the Tigers got their noses in front in the third quarter. They were able to hang on in the last to win 9.10 (64) to 6.9 (45).

Aaron Walton booted three goals for the Tigers while Dean Kemble was outstanding.

Grant Trew and Todd Gardiner were outstanding for the Gulls.

Buds looking at repeat NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RYE’S season is over.

The Demons are now a game and a half outside of the MPNFL Nepean Division top five, as well as a whopping 31 per cent after being humiliated by Rosebud by more than 100 points on Saturday.

After a mid-season slump that saw them look right out of contention, Rye responded to public criticism and got themselves back into the finals hunt.

However, a loss last week against an emotionally-charged Devon Meadows and then a 102 point belting on Saturday has ended their season.

This is the second season in succession that the Demons have missed out on finals action.

Their opponent on Saturday, Rosebud, has sounded a very clear warning that it is well and truly on track to defend its title.

The Buds are in outright second place on the ladder with 38 points, while Somerville, Hastings and Red Hill are all on 36 points.

Frankston has gone half a game clear at the top of the ladder after a convincing win over Devon Meadows.

Rye v Rosebud was billed as the match of the round – it was an absolute fizzer.

The Buds kicked with the wind in the opening term and booted the opening two goals of the game. Nathan Henley then responded with two of his four goals for Rye and at the halfway mark of the first term things were all square.

That’s when the avalanche started.

The Buds booted the next nine goals and went into the halfway mark more than 10 goals in front.

The margin blew out to 88 points at three quarter time and the final score was 22.15 (147) to 7.3 (45).

Rosebud had 13 different goal kickers with Dale Stephens playing his best game and booting three goals, along with Tommy Stoffels.

Keegan Downie was superb but didn’t kick a goal, such was the dominance of his teammates, including his little brother Sean who starred.

It would be unfair on Rosebud to say that Rye was poor, although that would be true.

Rosebud was a force, starting its run from half back, dominating through the middle and pushing hard into attack to create opportunities.

The Buds have beaten Somerville, Hastings and Red Hill and just went

Double trouble: Frankston Bombers overcame Devon Meadows, beating them 88 points to 44. Picture: Scott Memery

down to Sorrento at Sorrento. They were poor against Frankston but didn’t get hammered. Rosebud is a genuine contender.

You could mount a case that Sorrento is gone too after going down to Hastings by 18 points.

The Sharks are now a game outside of the top five and have lost three of their past five matches (Devon Meadows, Somerville and Hastings).

The Sharks have just two more matches remaining for the season, taking on Rosebud at Rosebud and Red Hill at Red Hill. They were lucky to beat the Buds by a point in round five and got the job done by 28 points

against Red Hill in round seven.

On Saturday, the Sharks just weren’t as desperate as Hastings to win the hard ball and at times looked scared to get their hands dirty in the 6.14 (50) to 4.8 (32) loss.

Paul Rogasch was absolutely outstanding for the Blues, while the midfielders, Mark Devereaux, Nathan Gray, Pete Mawson, Dale Alanis, and Josh Mulheron in the ruck carved up their opposition.

The Blues were great in the first half and in the second quarter, 85 per cent of the play was in Hastings’ forward half.

Leigh Treeby worked hard for the Sharks, as did Tyrren Head, while Scott Lockwood worked hard leading up at

the footy.

Red Hill again looks vulnerable after going down to Dromana in a threepoint nail biter.

When the teams met earlier in the season, Red Hill won with the last kick of the day.

On Saturday, the Tigers kicked the last three goals of the game to win 7.8 (50) to 7.5 (47).

Frankston Bombers set up their win against Devon Meadows with a fourgoal to zip second quarter and eventually ran out 12.16 (88) to 6.8 (44) winners.

The Meadows had an emotionallycharged couple of weeks after the passing of Beau Miller, who’s funeral was

last Friday. Coach Glenn Michie (finger) and star midfielder Stevey Roberts (third ACL) also hung up the boots through the week.

The Bombers were apprehensive but got the job done. New forward recruit Luke James was reported.

Pearcedale overcame a slow start to beat Crib Point 7.13 (55) to 5.6 (36).

The Panthers trailed by 14 points at half time before booting six goals to one after the major break.

Hastings play inspired football HASTINGS FNC ON Saturday the Hastings Football/Netball Club played Sorrento at home playing in front of our past players who were celebrating the 1976 senior/reserve premiership while remembering our 1946/1906 premiership heroes.

All the boys had a great day and we thank them for their attendance. To top it off they got to see a fantastic game of local football with a fabulous Hastings victory in what was a massive game for both clubs hoping to compete in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals series.

On Saturday, in extremely trying conditions, Hastings got back to playing the type of pressure football that has got them into the positon they currently see themselves in.

For the first time since 1984 the Hastings Football/Netball club won both there clashes in one year against possibly the best side in the past decade.

It was a fabulous contest from start to finish with the mighty Blues prevailing in very ordinary conditions with the club very proud of the way the boys have bounced back from the

previous couple of weeks.

This Saturday sees the club come against Westernport rival Somerville Football/Netball Club in what really looms as a massive contest for both clubs.

Hopefully our supporters can get to Somerville on Saturday and help support the boys.

The club was absolutely delighted with the our netballers on Saturday with our C & B Grade teams both having comprehensive victories against Sorrento. The work the girls have been putting in on the training track is really paying off. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a credit to all involved.

This Saturday Somerville Football/Netball Club V Hastings Football/Netball Club.

Seniors Report A FANTASTIC team effort! Great to see the boys step up after a couple of losses and show some doubters that we can be a fantastic football side.

Our pressure was at its best with Mark Devereaux, Dale Alanis and Stevie Robb leading the way. This week is another big test playing

Somerville away.

Reserves Report AFTER pleasing signs last week it was put on the boys to bring the same intensity this week against Sorrento in conditions that suited out game style.

Lucky for us Sorrento didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have their kicking boots on early and with inaccuracy we were still in the game and our pressure was up.

We fought out the whole game but fell just short in a low scoring grind.

Really proud of the boys efforts. If we bring the same intensity for the remainder of the season there is no reason we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish the year off with three big wins.

Best: C. Biviano, K. Robb, K. Delahaye Under 19s Report TERRIBLE ground condition and weather more suited to Antarctica greeted us on Saturday!

Sorrento came to play and although we won the first couple of clearances, we failed to capitalise on our forward entries.

Jack Winton in the ruck gave us first use against a bigger opponent, while Kayne Lewis was playing a captains game, leading by example Kayne was hard at the contest and at the ball.

The second and third quarters were our best with the boys holding Sorrento to two goals in this period. Our backline was outstanding again tirelessly working to clear the ball out of the danger zone. The inclusion of Ray Abrehart, Sam Mills and Joel Mackie boosted our toughness with all boys stepping up to the contest.

Welcome to Hastings boys.

In the end Sorrento took the points but the way we continued to fight impressed all that were present.

Best of luck to Tom Johnstone as embarks on a new career in the Armed forces, well done!

Best on the day - Kayne Lewis, Lachlan Barton, Ben Sharpe.

Netball Report WOW what a great day for netball at Hastings! All the hard work, commitment to training and supporting each other came together for two great wins.

C grade were on top from the very first centre pass and continued for the whole four quarters.

Grace Williams was on fire dominating the attack end and was very well supported by Karlee Collie.

Congratulations to the whole of C grade.

B grade were very happy with a third win for the season and second in a row.

This indicates as a club and team the progress we have made from the beginning of the season to now.

Terrible conditions made it extremely hard to play neat netball, however everyone was able to adjust to the conditions.

The girls kept going, played out the whole game and were able to focus on areas where we needed to continue improving.

We know next week will be a very tough matches for us, and are realistic about this, however we have learnt that we can actually win if we focus and fight.

Looking forward to the challenge against one the top teams in Somerville this week. *** Upcoming Functions: Presidents Luncheon 6th August from noon onwards home game v Crib Point.
