ROSEBUD KITE FESTIVAL 2016

SUNDAY 13TH MARCH 2016

Meet Puff and Stuff the Spectacular Red Dragons THIS year’s festival will see not only feature sky kites, but for the first time includes a land kiting demo. The team of internationally acclaimed kite flyers from across mainland Australia and New Zealand will display above the heads of the crowd, their spectacular maxi kites which include sea creatures such as dolphins, whales, sting rays and octopus together with the red winged dragons and floating astronauts. These giant kites are so large they take a string of runner kites and a team of people to get them in the air and some pretty strong cabling attached to a car or two to keep them anchored to the ground. Flying high in the sky, against a backdrop of blue they never fail to impress. While on the ground, for the first time at Rosebud, you can enjoy a display of kite buggying. This is where

a kite is used to pull the buggy along a park, beach or dry lake. Whilst the limitations of the Rosebud site will restrict the speed of the display, in an open environment speeds of up to 130km have been recorded. Like the airborne kites, these buggies are purely wind powered and the skill is in catching the wind in the kite to maintain the movement. Undoubtedly there’s something very special about the Rosebud Kite Festival. Offering a free program of quality kite-inspired entertainment, it has become a quirky celebration of Aussie coastal life. With its iconic location on the Rosebud beach, festival goers will look to both the skyline and shoreline for an impressive array of beautiful kites and fun, family activities.

All ages event THIS ‘all ages’ event has grown to include a host of kids workshops, kite craft, carnival rides, food stalls, ‘come and try’ stand up paddle boarding as well as a full program of live entertainment. The Dreaming Space yellow, circus tent will be back with a program of comedy shows and skills workshops throughout the afternoon, plus, and for the brave at heart, Blacksnake Productions with their wildlife and reptile marquee for some ‘touch and feel’ sessions There are plenty of food stalls throughout the site, but bring a rug, or folding chair and be prepared to stay a few hours, as you won’t be able to tear yourself away from all the activity! Free entry. Parking available on Village Green and along Pt Nepean Road.

My Time a relief for parents BEN, left, is one of many children whose parents are finding some space for themselves by attending a MyTime group at Biala Peninsula in Mornington. The free group allows parents of children with disabilities, developmental delays or a chronic medical condition to unwind and talk about their experiences. And while they’re inside with a trained facilitator helping guide the discussion, share experiences and connect parents with support services, children like Ben are enjoying themselves under the watchful eyes of trained carers. See “Biala helps parents recover ‘their time’”, Page 8 Picture: Gary Sissons

Police put Skids off the road Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au POLICE believe three arrests on the Mornington Peninsula are integral to their success in putting the brakes on two groups of hoon drivers regularly hold street drag meetings in Melbourne’s south east. An 18-year-old Somerville man is among nine arrested in the past week by detectives targeting hoon behaviour in Melbourne’s south-east.

Yesterday, Monday, police arrested and charged a Mornington man, 23, who they describe as “a ringleader” of the South-East Skids. He has been charged with six counts of reckless conduct endangering serious injury, and other hoon and trafficrelated offences. A 21 year old Mt Martha man was charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury, driving in a manner dangerous, failing to have proper control of a vehicle, driving in a manner so as to cause loss of traction and

driving in manner to cause unnecessary noise and smoke. Police say they have now arrested 42 people and seized 21 cars since Operation Regarder began in November. On Friday police executed search warrants and seized three cars with Inspector Michael Daly saying police had “effectively shut down the South East Skids and Northern Skids hoon groups”. Crowds of 300-400 people regularly view the events in factory zones, especially in Dandenong, Lynbrook, and

Carrum Downs. A 21-year-old Greensborough man has been charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury and possess explosives. Police will allege the Mt Martha man was driving a utility in a Dandenong hooning event last September which fish-tailed before hitting and injuring a 21-year-old woman spectator. The arrests come after two people were killed in January when the ute they were travelling in crashed at Keilor East. Police believe they had

earlier been at an illegal street race. Inspector Daly, of Dandenong police, said the results showed the taskforce’s dedication to holding hoon drivers to account. “If these offenders want to treat their cars as weapons then we will, too. We will seize them and keep them as exhibits as we do with any other weapon,” he said. “Let us be clear, our focus extends beyond the drivers themselves to the spectators.” Continued Page 5

Survey seeks answers to ‘life’ on peninsula Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A COMMUNITY group has launched an ambitious plan to find out what residents and ratepayers want for the future of the Mornington Peninsula. The results of an online survey to be conducted by Peninsula Speaks will be managed by Market Metrics and analysed by the Strategy Planning group. The findings will be provided to all three levels of government in the hope that they will be taken into account when decisions and policies affecting the peninsula are made. Peninsula Speaks, which describes itself as “a community advocacy organisation concerned with the protection of the Mornington Peninsula's environment and landscape valuesâ€?, wants people to register online to participate in the survey. Co-founded by Christine Haydon and Peter Avery, Peninsula Speaks sees itself as providing “a vehicle for its supporters ‌ to make sure the community is able to play its part in learning about inappropriate development proposals, developing community responses, planning actions to combat the proposals and, most importantly, making our councillors aware of the community’s responses and wishesâ€?. Ms Haydon said they would like 3000 people to participate in the initial survey so it reflected public attitudes “on a broad range of topicsâ€?. Follow-up surveys would be conducted using a database of people who registered

to participate in the first survey. “Their input will be vital in informing decision making at federal, state and local government levels to shape the future allowing for population growth, managed development and climate change,� Ms Haydon said. “The process will involve simple online surveys on a wide ranging series of topics distributed electronically on a periodic basis.� Mr Avery said Peninsula Speaks wanted to “gain the widest possible range of views about the Mornington Peninsula, both now and how it could be by 2030�. He said answers to the survey would “identify the key priorities for the future and help inform and guide the key decision makers on the peninsula�. “Individual answers will be collated along with the answers from all the other completed surveys, so they will never used on an individual basis.� Questions on the initial survey ask respondents such things as what makes life on the peninsula “special�; what changes will have occurred by 2030; priorities for action; attitudes towards such developments as the Port of Hastings, Point Nepean, low cost housing, aged care, public transport and industrial development in green wedge-zoned areas; climate change; emergency planning (bushfires); and their attitudes towards Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (which carries out its own annual “satisfaction� survey).

Winter coming, locals seek out cold weather digs

So Emu spent a restless night planning how to extricate the possum from the fireplace with minimal damage. His plan involved a large hessian bag and a rope, plus strategically opened doors and minimal assistance from the BB, who, he knew, would shin up the curtains faster than any possum that might come flying out of the fireplace. Imagine his relief when, in the morning, the cautiously opened fire door revealed no brushtail, nor any sign one had ever been there. Mrs Emu was triumphant. That scared him off,” she said, emerging cockily from behind the door where she had been cowering, now firmly in control again after she had so cleverly seen off the danger. “Get up on the roof, Dear, and look down the flue to make sure he’s gone. Then block it.” Emu took a torch up with him and inspected the pipe. It was almost shiny-clean, splendidly swept, soot-

free. Perhaps they could be trained as chimney sweeps, he thought as he put away the ladder after possum-proofing the flue. There was plenty of work for chimney sweeps in these parts now winter was pending. But how do they run up and down a steel flue as though it was a stairway? Emu decided not to raise the topic with the BB. Heaven knew where the possibility of chimney-sweeping possums might lead. That night, after the Emus had laid aside books and turned off bedside lights, Emu heard a thumping and bumping on the corrugated iron. A creature was trying to break in, apparently with a stillson wrench and a ball peen hammer. Mrs Emu sniggered sleepily. “That’s fixed him,” she said. “He won’t be back.” Emu wasn’t so sure. They’re persistent, brushtails. It’ll be his workshop next. Or her gardening shed.

Frankston Fwy

larly invaded, whose wife insisted he banish the possum that had found a cosy niche in the lounge wall cavity. His friend didn’t mind except that the possum fidgeted and scratched incessantly, distracting one’s spouse’s enjoyment of the TV. Finally, desperate after the failure of all measures to block the brushtail’s access, he took his old dress sword off the wall over the fireplace one night and had at the restless intruder, repeatedly thrusting the blade into – through – the plasterboard, into the dining room. It was a display of Flashman-like incompetence that finally exposed the terrified possum, unmoving, uninjured amid plaster shreds, eyes like saucers. In an instant it leapt out of the wrecked wall and shinned up his wife’s leg and dressing gown, balancing briefly on her hair curlers, then, possibly deafened by her screams, leaped on to and ran along the mantelpiece, bringing down a lifetime’s collection of Royal Doulton. Emu’s mate had never liked that Royal Doulton, so it was a double tragedy. Piece by painstaking piece, from swanky emporia, glossy catalogues and far-flung opportunity shops, he accompanied his wife as it was replaced, “It was my fault, of course,” Emu’s swordsman friend said morosely. “The walls, the pottery. All my fault.”

Dandenong Rd

THE Emu residence, Emu Ruo, nestled in a remote forest glade, is under siege. Mrs Emu is beside herself. “They shouldn’t be protected,” she is hissing, eyes glowing red. “They’re pests. And they’ve been eating my roses again.” She listens. “There it is again! Get rid of it! Immediately!” Her voice is rising to a shriek. When the Blushing Bride’s eyes glow and she scatters exclamation marks around like steel bolts from a builder’s bucket, Emu knows he’s in a tight corner. But what can he do? The besieger is a new, vigorous young brushtail, just moved into the vacancy left last spring by the previous rose eater. He was elderly and no longer nimble, finally leaving hastily just beyond the whirring tip of Mrs Emu’s murderous whipper-snipper. Emu knows where the rustling is coming from. He stealthily approaches the slow combustion heater. He grips the door handle and turns. It squeals, not having been opened since last winter. There, all bright-eyed friendly innocence, sits the young brushtail, on its haunches. “Shut the door!” squawks the Light of Emu’s Life. “Quick! Before it can get out!” The exclamation marks are rattling off the walls. “He’ll run up the curtains and then he’ll pee!” She never forgets, Emu muses as he slams the door. Never. But he remembers, too, the shredded curtains, the overwhelming odour, the chase, the final victory, the cleaning up. He recalls, too, a friend, an old army man, whose house was simi-

FAMED novelist Nevil Shute has been honoured with the naming of a Langwarrin street in his honour. The English aeronautical engineer turned author Nevil Norway, who adopted the penname Nevil Shute, called Australia home in later life. Shute’s 1957 post-apocalyptic book On The Beach, about a group of people in Australia facing the end of life on Earth after a devastating nuclear war in the northern hemisphere, was adapted into a movie. Parts of the 1959 Hollywood production starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire and Anthony Perkins were filmed in Frankston. Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley joined historians and representatives from Langwarrin community groups to officially name the street, located off the main entrance to Lloyd Park Reserve, last Tuesday (1 March). “Nevil ‘Shute’ Norway lived a life rich enough to have made up four lifetimes,” Cr Dooley said. “A talented aeronautical engineer, sailor, pilot, journalist, writer and later a racing car driver, Nevil emigrated to Australia from London in 1950 after World War II with his wife Frances and two daughters Heather and Shirley. “Here he took on the role of a farmer and ran ‘Devon Park’ a 20 acre property on Robinsons Rd in Langwarrin – that he extended to 100 acres during his time.” The mayor said Shute’s efforts as a writer had left a great legacy for the world. Several of his 24 published books were adapted into movies including On The Beach, No Highway and A Town Like Alice. Neil Walker

Get ready for change in the weather PROPERTY owners and residents of the Mornington Peninsula are being urged to prepare for climate change. The recently-launched Climate Ready website explains how global warming is caused by people “adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere more quickly than in the past� and provides details on how to create a “climate ready action plan�. The website is the result on a partnership between the peninsula, Bayside and Kingston councils and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). Climate Ready - a website designed to help you better understand how to adapt to the likely impacts and risks of climate change is now available. “Greenhouse gases have always played a part in Earth’s natural temperature regulation, but this ever growing human activity is putting more pressure on the natural system than it can accommodate,� the website states in its explanation for global warming. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock said Climate Ready “provides an online solution for residents to understand their climate change risks and start preparing for the future�. Cr Pittock, Cr Hugh Fraser and the shire’s then renewable resources team leader Jessica Wingad attended last year’s United Nations’ climate change conference in Paris. Since their return the shire has announced a five-year plan to become “carbon neutral� as well as accepting an invitation to commit to an international Compact of mayors to

Navy spends up THE federal government plans to spend $400-500 million at the HMAS Cerberus naval training at Crib Point. The plans to improve the base are included in the 2016 Defence White Paper. The white paper signalled a $29.9 billion increase Defence spending by “for a total investment of $195 billion over the next decade�, Regional Development Minister Senator Fiona Nash said. Senator Nash said regional businesses would be able to tender “for the supply of goods and services to Defence�.

Police clamp down Continued from Page 1 Inspector Daly said spectator should not think they were innocent bystanders. “You’re encouraging dangerous and even deadly behaviour. We are investigating your involvement and will prosecute you,� he said. “The arrests (Friday) are not the first and they will not be the last. “The taskforce is not slowing down. We are widening our remit and looking at other hoon groups. No one associated with hoons is exempt.� Inspector Daly said the arrests were a culmination of months of covert investigation. “We are now turning our attention to the Friday night drag scene in and around Melbourne’s south east.� “Our message to these groups is – as long as you behave in a way that endangers peoples’ lives, you’ll continue to be under the scrutiny of police.� All those arrested have been bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 11 May.

Climate ready: At the launch of the new climate change website at The Briars, Mt Martha, are Hugh Fraser, Kelly Crosthwaite, Carl Cowie, Tamsin Bearsley, James Long, Graham Pittock and David Gibb.

minimise climate change. "Climate Ready provides a onestop-shop website with easy access to information on preparing for heatwaves, bushfire, drought, flooding and severe storms,� Cr Pittock said in describing the new website. "Through gaining a better understanding of climate change risks and having an action plan we are much less likely to suffer during events such as heatwave, bushfire or flash flooding," he said. The action plan is described as being “a step-wise tool that describes the choices available, depending on which climate change risks are most likely to have an effect where you live�.

"Climate Ready, with its action plans and associated community engagement program, will be an invaluable tool for our community to prepare for the risks climate change is likely to bring," Cr Pittock said. The mayor of Kingston Cr Tamsin Bearsley said her council believed Climate Ready project “will be a useful tool in helping council engage with the broader community and motivate them to create their own interactive, personalised action plans to prepare for the impacts of climate change". "My family and I have completed a Climate Ready plan and realise just how many actions we have yet to complete. We are committed to

actively working our way through our plan to ensure our home and family are climate ready.� The Climate Ready plan is at www.climateready.com.au and free consultations are available at the Eco Living Display Centre, The Briars, Mt Martha. Community workshops on preparing for climate change will be held 6-7pm Thursday 14 April at Seawinds Community Hub, 11a Allambi Av, West Rosebud and 10.30-11.30am Friday 15 April, Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Hastings.

Market share: Local producers at the launch of Mornington Peninsula Produce certified trade mark at The Briars.

THE film Slums: Cities of Tomorrow will have a free community screening, 6pm, Saturday 19 March, at the Village Green, Rosebud. The film takes an intimate look at communities in informal settlements in India, Morocco, Turkey, France, New Jersey and Quebec. It views the housing problem by looking at structures from a sociological and philosophical perspective. Details: bit.ly/1T7IAyH or call 5950 1685.

Monet’s house IMPRESSIONIST artist Claude Monet’s house at Giverny, France, will be the subject of a talk at the next meeting of the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society. National Gallery of Victoria curator of international decorative arts and Antiquities Matthew Martin will focus on the house rather than its gardens. Monet is said to have determined many of its more striking interior features, and Mr Martin will place them in the context of progressive ideas about art and design in Europe at the end of the 19th century. The talk is 5.30pm, Friday 18 March, at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington. Cost is $20 non-members. Details: 0429 998 908.

Plant sale THE Growing Friends group of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne, is holding a autumn plant sale of Australian plants 10am-4pm Saturday and Sunday 19 and 20 March. The sale will feature a range of Australian plants in tubes and larger pots from $3.

Trade mark launch for Mornington Peninsula Produce MORNINGTON Peninsula-grown produce has a new identity with the launch of the Mornington Peninsula Produce food provenance brand. The certified trade mark, developed by Mornington Peninsula Shire and its Food Industry Advisory Body, will help consumers confirm the provenance of fresh produce when buying from the farm gate, farmers’ markets and retail outlets. Launching the new initiative last week at The Briars, the mayor Cr Graham Pittock, said local agribusiness was integral to the region’s economy. “Around one third of our land is devoted to agricultural production, and the Mornington Peninsula is the

second most valuable agricultural region in Victoria, producing at least 15 per cent of the state’s agricultural wealth from less than 4 per cent of the state’s farmland,” he said. The aim of the trade mark is to strengthen the identity of the Mornington Peninsula as a quality, fresh and innovative food economy. It provides consumers with a guarantee of authentic provenance from the Mornington Peninsula with the legal backing of the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission. “The MPP brand is easily identified by its distinctive black and white logo,” Food Industry Advisory Body chairman Steve Marshall said. “It

provides a central focal point for both producers and consumers to rally behind assured provenance.” The Mornington Peninsula Produce logo is on a range of local produce, including avocados, artichokes, herbs, heirloom vegetables, potatoes, apples, Asian greens, pears, plums, berries and cherries, as well as goats’ milk, lamb, beef, mussels, chicken, eggs, apple cider and apple juice, olive oil, hydroponic vegetables, truffles and garlic. The Mornington Peninsula Produce website, also launched yesterday, provides a searchable directory of all MPP registered producers and their produce, and is also a useful resource

to identify new opportunities for producers. Founding members include Coolart Lamb, Hillock Downs, Peninsula Fresh Seafood, Red Hill Cherry Farm, Main Ridge Dairy, Mornington Peninsula Hydroponics, Peninsula Avocados, Hawkes Vegetables, Harts Farms and Peninsula Fresh Organics. The Food Industry Advisory Body is a volunteer community/industry advisory and reference group that works with Mornington Peninsula Shire on the implementation of the 2012 Local Food Strategy. Details: Call Tania Treasure, the shire’s manager, Economic Development and Tourism, 5950 1447.

Grannies take a drive to help refugees Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A FEDERAL election is looming later this year and Flinders MP Greg Hunt is being pressured by a group of grandmothers upset over the continued detention of refugee children. The 25 members of Grandmothers and Friends of Grandmothers Group living in the Flinders electorate met at Flinders last Wednesday and are organising a bus-and-car cavalcade to Canberra. The movement is growing quickly in Victoria and interstate, organiser Ann Renkin said. “As older Australians with various political party loyalties, our members are very concerned about children and their families living in detention centres at Nauru and Manus,” she said. To voice their concerns around 100 grandmothers and friends are planning the cavalcade to Canberra to meet MPs. The federal government was criticised at the meeting for intending to return asylum seekers – babies, children and parents – to detention in unsuitable living conditions on

Nauru after they receive specialist medical treatment and counselling in Australia. The government was also criticised for the time being taken to process refugees’ applications for asylum in off-shore detention centres, and, the “devastating and long lasting physical, mental and spiritual effects of indefinite incarceration on already traumatised people”. Members of the group aim to encourage others in the Flinders electorate to express their concerns to politicians through petitions and by contacting MPs, including local MP Greg Hunt, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. “We call on them to remove all asylum seeker children, their families, and unaccompanied minors from detention to permanent community resettlement on the Australian mainland,” Ms Renkin said. “We expect to meet later this month to get feedback about the Canberra bus trip and to decide on future activities.” Details: call Ann Renkin 0428 226 650 or write to PO Box 334, Shoreham 3916.

Winning line-up: Main Ridge under-12s after their grand final win.

Junior cricket flags for Cougars MAIN Ridge under-12 cricketers have won the premiership for the second year in a row. Their bowling and fielding performance over the last weekend in February limited Sorrento’s potent batting line-up to 122, with Will Jewell knocking up another 30 runs before retiring. Main Ridge batsmen Louis Bisogni and Lochie Davies both retired on 30, setting up a thrilling last-over win.

Finn Emile-Brennan clipped one off his toes to force the winning single with his batting partner Amerlie Obrien scampering through to take the win. The Main Ridge under-14s also won their grand final. Under pressure from great fielding and tight-length bowling, opposition Dromana posted 109, with Jackson Brown making another 50 for the visitors in a display of patience and skill. Harry Sullivan and Jesse Diniconato-

nio opened for Main Ridge and moved the score to 75 without loss in a fine display of batting, before Diniconatonio fell to a great ball. Main Ridge skipper Charlie Banks partnered a faultless Sullivan in chasing down the remaining runs in the 27th over of a 40-over match. Sullivan scored 46 not out, Banks 16 not out, and Diniconatonio 42, taking Main Ridge to 1/112 and victory. Jason Banks

Biala helps parents recover ‘their time’

Published weekly. Circulation: 15,000

PARENTS of children with disabilities, developmental delays or a chronic medical condition are being encouraged to make contact with Biala Peninsula based in Mornington. The free group, in Elizabeth St, allows parents to unwind and talk about their experiences. A trained facilitator helps guide the discussion, share experiences and connect parents with support services. A skilled play helper engages children below school age so parents and carers are free to chat with each other. “Research tells us that many parents of children with disabilities struggle to find time to look after themselves, and that social isolation is a real danger,” National MyTime director Annette Michaux said. “The groups meet every few weeks and help parents cope with challenges, share positive experiences, navigate support services and achieve an increased sense of wellbeing. “There are 200 MyTime groups around Australia and 90 per cent of parents who use this free support service are satisfied or highly satisfied with how their groups are run.” MyTime groups such as Biala Peninsula are open to any parent or carer of a child – up to 16 years of age – with a disability, developmental delay or a chronic medical condition. Children below school age can attend groups with their parent or carer. The Biala Peninsula group is coordinated by Playgroup Victoria and interested parents can find out more by visiting mytime.net.au MyTime funding is provided by the Australian Government Department of Social Services.

Harvest festival returns to Heronswood IT HAS been two years since fire destroyed the cafe at Heronswood in Dromana, but owners Clive and Penny Blazey and their team, are back in full swing with the first festival of the year this week. The Heronswood Harvest Festival will celebrate the heirloom harvest at the home of the Diggers Club, acknowledged as one of Victoria’s most beautiful gardens and elegant historical homes. The festival will run over two days, 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday, including free gardening workshops,

garden tours and a tomato taste test. “Visitors can enjoy a relaxing lunch on the pool lawn showcasing seasonal produce from our kitchen garden teamed with local wines, handcrafted beer and cider and local coffee too good to resist,” education manager Talie Kenyon said. Clive and Penny Blazey bought Heronswood in 1983, five years after starting the Diggers Club. “Soon they had created the heirloom seeds and introduced them to Australian gardeners in 1991,” Ms Kenyon said.

They have gifted ownership of the garden company along with familyowned properties Heronswood and St Erth to the garden and environment trust that they established late in 2011. The Diggers Club was established by Blazey in 1978 with the view to supplying unusual plants and heirloom seeds by mail order to gardeners around Australia.

A WATER slide at Frankston’s Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre is out of action after two boys were injured while using the slide. PARC CEO Tim Gledhill confirmed the AquaSphere slide will be closed “for the next few weeks” until an investigation into the incident takes place. The two boys were using the AquaSphere water slide last Saturday (27 February), featuring raft rides for two to four people, when the incident occurred. “Both boys received immediate medical attention from our lifeguard staff before being transferred to hospital where one was treated for concussion and the other boy was diagnosed with a fractured elbow,” Mr Gledhill said. “We are working closely with the manufacturer of the slide, Whitewater West, to investigate the cause of the incident and the slide is anticipated to remain closed for the next few weeks during this process.” The centre will remain open and the AquaPlay aquatic playground featuring multi-level landings and slides is still in use. The 79-metre high AquaSphere, billed as “a thrilling family raft ride featuring high-speed twists and drops, fully enclosed spheres and 90 degree corners”, was closed for ten months after two adults suffered

head injuries on the slide in August 2014. Mr Gledhill said “engineering changes” were made by the slide’s manufacturer after the previous incident. “The current incident is unrelated and will be treated according to the suggestions made by the manufacturer following the investigation,” he said. “The safety of our members and guests is our highest priority and we remain committed to ensuring our visitors have safe and enjoyable experience at all times.” The $49.7 million PARC, funded by the federal government, state government and Frankston Council, opened in late 2014 and the AquaSphere ride was hailed as “a key highlight of the centre”. Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said PARC advised council immediately of the latest incident on the water slide. “It was noted their first concerns were for the two boys and making sure they were attended to,” Mr Hovenden said. “They advised council of the closure of the ride and that an investigation would follow.” “We are interested in how this is being managed. However, it should be noted that this incident comes after a lengthy period of operation without any incident. “Council is being kept informed and will await further advice.”

LETTERS Waste shifting It was with considerable pleasure that I read about Mornington Peninsula Shire Council having a plan for making the shire carbon neutral (“Fiveyear plan for carbon neutrality”, The News 23/2/2016). My pleasure was short lived however when I realised that this could only be achieved by exporting our waste to another municipality. In other words, we could only achieve neutrality at the expense of another municipality. No way does this solve the problems of green house gases. It just moves it on. Our Minister for the Environment, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, received an award for a similar action. He just bought $2.55 billion carbon abatement credits. This did not solve the problem. Australia per head of population still remains one of the world’s worst polluters. I do hope that council, with help from the citizens, can come up with a solution to actually reduce our waste. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Options open In relation to your article “Airport Plan Takes Flight” (The News 1/3/16), I wish to reassure your readers that the Mornington Peninsula Shire has not undertaken a detailed examination of any potential alternative land-use options for the land north of Hastings (which is designated as a Port related Special Use Zone) in the unlikely event that plans for a major port in Hastings are ever completely shelved or significantly trimmed. On behalf of the residents in my ward, the vast majority of who I assess as being supportive of the port development, I have consistently advocated that we need to be patient and wait to see a comprehensive plan of the area needed to support any future expansion of port operations and the associated transport corridors before potentially tying-up any of this land for alternative uses. In view of the state government’s recent decision to only apply a 15-year non-competition clause (down from 50) on the Port of Melbourne privatisation plans, I am expecting that that planning for an expansion of the Port of Hastings will need to be reinvigorated in the not too distant future. David Garnock, councillor Cerberus Ward

Possums welcome We can’t help thinking that journalists at the The News are members of the vocal anti-possum brigade. Why else use the headline “Sparks fly from possum” (The News 1/3/16) for an article about the cause and extent of the grass

and scrub fire in Somerville, when in fact the possum theory was highly improbable? As the article states, investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing, but human involvement is far more likely. We moved to Mt Eliza less than a year ago and were subsequently delighted to learn that our district is known as the possum capital of the peninsula, perhaps even of Victoria. Instead of revelling in this situation however, many residents appear to have adopted an intolerant attitude, possibly fuelled by anecdotal reports in your paper concerning problems attributed to these native animals. Human activity is the overwhelming cause of significant environmental damage in our neighbourhood. Mature trees and native vegetation are ripped out and replaced with trendy landscaping plants that are more decorative than functional. Habitat for wildlife, including birds and insects, is rarely a consideration. We do not subscribe to the anti-possum sentiment and think that community newspapers have a responsibility to promote respect for all the creatures we share this space with. Lynda Graf, Mt Eliza

Concern for cyclists Driving along Pt Nepean Rd through Rye and Rosebud shows the hazard for cyclists with a narrow cycle path, and that only in parts, and narrow car lanes such that with cyclists riding close to the road boundary it is necessary for cars to move away. This, to be safe, means the car having to crossing the centre road line or just slowing down until there is a safe time to pass. With more than one cyclist the concern is even greater as most cyclists don’t have rear vision mirrors. It is worse still when they have earphones. Has any consideration been given to requiring cyclists to have rear vision mirrors? I am sure I had one when cycling in my youth - many years ago and no Lycra. Keith Murley, Blairgowrie

Help when needed On the evening of Wednesday 24 February I unfortunately had an accident on Old Cape Schanck Rd, Rosebud with my car finishing upside down on its roof. The immediate support was amazing, someone opening the car door to help me get out, others ringing the ambulance and police, an off duty local police officer right there seeing I was OK while waiting for the ambos. It was a great response of help and assistance and to all those unknown people, men and women, thank you. There was a sour note in that one

“helpful” person also helped themselves to my wallet so I was forced to cancel cards, get a new licence and so on. I was whisked off to Frankston Hospital and stayed overnight for observations. Again people being so attentive. To you all, here at Rosebud and at Frankston, thank You. I’m left with a cracked rib to remind me of the dangers of driving on wet roads, rather greasy after a dry spell. So take care out there. Bruce Errol, Rye

Checks, balances Ron Simpson is really drawing a long bow regarding Wayne Swan’s budget speech of May 2013 (“Disappearing surplus”, Letters 1/3/16). He refers to Swan’s statement at that time that the “four years of surplus I announce tonight are a powerful endorsement of the strength of our economy”. If he had checked political history he may have discovered that Rudd replaced Gillard on the 26/6/13 and Chris Bowen replaced Wayne Swan on 27/6/13. One month after that budget speech. Swan was a great treasurer but even he couldn’t control the budget from the back benches. I am assuming that Mr Simpson is a conservative because he still did not acknowledge that Swan guided the “fiscal” ship through the GFC. I remind him of the fact that certain aspects of “Smokin’” Joe Hockey’s 2014 budget are still to be passed by the Senate. But the Abbott/Turnbull Governments looked after him with a nice little earner in the US when he “ahem” left the treasurer’s portfolio. Now we are stuck with Morrison who is more all at sea than the border patrol sailing the oceans blue looking for innocent refugees to persecute. The national debt is rising and no one in the conservatives knows what to do about it. The prime minister is in the thrall of the backbenchers and, after promising much but presenting little, has shown himself to be a fizzer. Turnbull is more concerned at what Abbott and his supporters are doing than running the country. John Cain, McCrae

‘Illegal’ proof Ahh Mr Cain, you have done it again. Another letter poorly researched and wrong in fact. (“Not illegals”, The News, 1/3/16). In 1973, while a member of the Commonwealth Police Immigration Squad, I would receive a telex each Friday morning from the Department of Immigration headed “Illegal immigrants for the week ending … “ and a list of names. In June 1975, I was selected to attend the first “

Australian Police” detective training course in Manly, NSW. This was to be an amalgamation of the ACT police, NT police, Commonwealth Police and customs under the then Whitlam Labor government. Mr Cain, I still have the three large study books from this course, with one chapter clearly headed “Illegal immigrants, location and process”, so to blame poor old Tony for inventing the phrase “ illegal immigrants” really does highlight either your lack of knowledge of your subject or a basic need to criticise anything to do with Liberal policy. You state “ They are asylum seekers trying to escape from the terror that was created by the US, England and to a certain extent, the Howard government”. Well let’s just take one at random: Doctors in Queensland refused to let baby Asha be released from hospital until the government agreed she would not be sent back to Nauru and the hospital entrance was picketed by an angry mob. Trouble was, a background check revealed that baby Asha and her parents were from Nepal, a country with no war, famine, or ruthless dictatorship. No Mr Cain, not the US, not England and certainly not the Howard government. Just a family with enough money to pay the people smugglers to try and queue-jump to Australia for a better life. Go through the correct channels and then and only then can we shut down these detention centres. Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Abuse has no end My letter “Islands of cruelty’ (15/2/16) apparently left some uninformed people scratching their heads about the term “chaining the living to the dead”. It seems these people cannot understand the simplicity of the current government policy to let asylum seekers rot on Manus and Nauru as a disincentive to more asylum seekers setting out from Indonesia in boats with the possibility that some may drown on the way. Australia’s offshore processing regime has come badly off the rails. Rape, child abuse and indefinite detention are the common characteristics. The immigration department continues to prevent information, obscure the truth, and mistreat people behind a veil of secrecy. The government has been totally complicit in the inhumane treatment of asylum seekers who arrive by boat. Its actions have been condemned by the United Nations. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said “... this pernicious, criminal trade of people cannot succeed”. In other words, the demonisation and criminalisation of hapless asylum seekers

will continue. Underlying this horrendous abuse of human rights is the largely unchallenged assumption that the only way to stop asylum seeker deaths at sea is to make life at the end of the journey so appalling and inhumane that no one will try to escape by sea. This is the underlying reason why I used the term “chaining the living to the dead”. These chains are very expensive too. The cost to Australia is immense; $400,000 a year for every asylum seeker on Manus and Nauru. There has to be a better and more humane way to allow Australia to meet its international human rights obligations, because so far the whole process is a failure. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

World’s best Would it be possible to arrange a presentation to the World’s Best Minister? We could all meet at the World’s Best Creek in Balnarring and the World’s Best coal company (Adani) could present [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt with a plaque congratulating him on his contribution to Word’s Best Pollution. Mel Farnbach, Balnarring

Foolish feelings If Flinders MP Greg Hunt can fool me once shame on him; fool me twice, shame on me. It would be very nice if the billions shovelled into the big polluters be shovelled back into services that he cut when sitting at the government’s cutting table, such as health care, education and pensions, and give back that what was taken away from the pensioners. Good on Mr Hunt when he walks in a favourite charity walk and attends local fetes (although we are paying him for that as well). What he fails to mention when shaking our hands is that the government is shaking us down by reducing services vital for a healthy educated and fair society. Again, fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. The government should not go after the penalty rates of those that can least afford pay cuts, because it is a pay cut. Evelyn Taylor, Tootgarook

Surplus surprise In the light of the Abbott and Hockey partnership promising a quick return to surplus but in fact actually adding $70 billion to the deficit, it would be interesting to hear Ron Simpson’s take (“Disappearing surplus”, Letters 1/3/16) after his criticism of Wayne Swan and John Cain. The question of ignoring the facts to suit a political point of view. Cliff Ellen, Rye More Letters Page 14

OBITUARY

Vale: Ben Mayne By Peter McCullough AFTER a twelve month battle with cancer Ben Mayne, a highly-respected citizen of Hastings, passed away on 18 February, 2016. Holy Trinity church was packed to overflowing for the funeral service on 25 February with the Rev. Alex. Packett officiating. The eulogy was given by Ben’s life-long friend and brother-in-law John Watson, supported by daughters Cindy, Vicki and Jackie, grand-daughter Emily, and brother, Bob. On completion of the service the cortege passed through a guard of honour formed by members of the CFA and the football club. This obituary is based on the eulogies given during the service. *** MAURICE Benjamin Mayne, universally known as Ben, was born in Hastings on 11 July, 1939.He was the youngest son of Clarrie and Clara (both deceased) and had an older sister, Joan, and brothers, Bill (deceased) and Bob. Originally a navy man, Clarrie was the carrier in Hastings for many years. After attending Hastings State School, Ben went to Frankston High School. He then began working for the PMG (a predecessor of Telstra and Australia Post) as a telephone exchange operator and at the same time he completed a linesman’s course. Ben left the PMG to work at Mike Nugent’s service station in Hastings, and his business career really started when he and a fellow employee bought the service station. Over the next two years Ben’s connection with the lawn mower industry began when, in 1965, he started selling Victa mowers and Malvern Star bikes from the service station. In the meantime Ben had married local girl Lorraine Temby on 6 June,

Happy birthday: Ben gets a flight in a Tiger Moth for his 70th birthday.

1964; this co-incided with the start of Ben’s business career and the couple worked in a partnership which extended through until their retirement in 2005. Ben could hardly have imagined that the sideline he started at the service station would develop into one of the leading mower outlets in Victoria. After two years at the service station Ben started off the business known as Hastings Mower and Sports from a

shop in High Street, selling and repairing mowers as well as selling sporting goods (including bait and tackle) and toys. The business grew steadily and after a few years it outgrew the small shop and moved to larger premises at 55 High Street. However success did not come immediately, or easily, and it took many years of hard work by Ben and Lorraine for them to be rewarded for their efforts. Fortunately Ben was endowed with a strong work ethic and in the early days, when the business was becoming established, he supplemented the family income by starting his working day at 2.30 a.m. when he commenced the local milk run in a horse-drawn cart; he would boast in later years of the accuracy he developed in throwing an empty milk bottle at any dog which made the mistake of having a go at him or his horse, “Ginge”! The

milk round finished, Ben then drove a school bus before working in the shop, leaving to drive the bus again in the afternoon. He would then work in the shop until closing time but, as the business developed, he would often stay back doing mower repairs until late at night. As well as assisting Ben in the business, Lorraine attended to the needs of their three daughters – Cindy, Vicki, and Jackie-all of whom spent plenty of time at the mower shop during their childhood years. Ben was also a very proud family man who set high standards for his girls. With the growth of Hastings Mowers Ben and Lorraine were joined in the partnership by their brother-in-law, Alan Young, who as well as being a life-long friend, was a committed partner in running the business over a long period of time. After many years at 55 High Street, Hastings Mowers made

the bold move to the much larger, purpose-built, premises on FrankstonFlinders Road. In 2005 Ben, Lorraine and Alan took a well-earned retirement and it has been with some pride that they have watched the business develop further under the partnership which includes Ben and Lorraine’s daughter, Cindy. A list of Ben Mayne’s personal attributes would include not only hard work but also innovation, risk-taking, enthusiasm and loyalty. The last of these was obvious in the passion that he displayed for his home town: he worked tirelessly for the benefit of the Hastings community. Although he did not play for the Hastings Football Club, Ben was the boundary umpire in his younger days, and went on to serve on the committee for many years. Older residents will recall the Country Music Festivals that Ben helped to organize at Hastings Park for several years to raise funds for the Club; each Festival attracted several thousand enthusiasts. Ben was made a Life Member of the Hastings Football Club for his extensive contribution. He was also awarded Life Membership of the Hastings Cricket and Football Social Club in recognition of his contribution to the Club’s administration over a long period; his strong decision making and professional attitude was clearly evident in assisting the Club to become the success it is today. The second organization to which Ben made a major contribution was as a volunteer with the Hastings Fire Brigade. He was an active member for 44 years from 1960, holding various officer positions for 32 of those years including nine years as Brigade Captain. During that time he was a brigade delegate to Western Port Group and held the position of Deputy Group Officer for four years. In recognition of his service to the CFA Ben was awarded the National Medal in 1981, and then in 1992 he was rewarded with both Life Membership of both the Hastings Fire Brigade and the CFA. Life Membership of any organization is very special; to be recognized with four Life Memberships within the same community is outstanding.

It should be mentioned that, as with their business, Lorraine has also made a substantial contribution to the Hastings Fire Brigade. She joined the Auxiliary in 1964 and is still a member after 52 years. A combined contribution to Hastings Fire Brigade of 96 years is remarkable. Finally it should be noted that Ben was a member of the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry for a number of years which included some time as President; he was passionate in doing whatever he could to attract people to shop in Hastings. He was also able to find time to serve on the Western Port Festival committee for a number of years. When work and community responsibilities permitted, Ben was an enthusiastic and capable fisherman. He always had a boat and would get out on the water at every opportunity. At times his enthusiasm to get underway would create a problem. On one occasion he decided that he would take the boat to Shoreham: it was placed on the trailer and Ben set off with his fishing companion. On arrival at Shoreham they got out to unload the boat only to find an empty trailer; each had assumed that the other had tied the boat to the trailer. A hasty return trip was made to find the boat berthed comfortably on the roadside near Bittern. In medical terms it had suffered only “lacerations and bruises” and was considered by the two fishermen to be sound enough for the trip back to Shoreham. As well as fishing, Ben was keen on rabbiting and his was possibly the only backyard in Hastings which

maintained a colony of ferrets. Ben had a particular fondness for French Island and the family was frequently taken there to catch fish and/or rabbits. On occasions Ben would be required to make the return trip even when the weather had deteriorated; this meant that Lorraine and the girls would hold their collective breaths while Ben bailed furiously. Perhaps a less dangerous interest was gardening. Ben was one of those people who seemed to be able to grow things better than most, and the family was never short of fresh vegetables. Ben also had a love of old cars and in his retirement he became actively involved in the Mornington Peninsula Historical Vehicle Club where he held the position of Activities Officer and really enjoyed getting out in his 1954 TF MG or Lorraine’s 1963 Morris Minor 1000. Finally, with so much time to spare following retirement, Ben dabbled in some industrial and residential development; the John Coleman estate near the football ground is part of this legacy. Ben Mayne will be sadly missed by his family and friends. In concluding his eulogy John Watson expressed the view that Ben was a typical Australian, adding that the best way he could describe his old friend was that he was a “bloody good bloke.” This would also be the opinion of the Hastings community. *** The Western Port News extends its sympathy to Lorraine, daughters Cindy, Vicki and Jackie and their partners, as well as grandchildren Mitchell, Emily, Ben and Jasmine.

LETTERS Concrete pollutes Our clever Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is up to its tricks again. Immediately after forcing ratepayers to pay for unnecessary concrete footpath schemes around the shire and in the quiet coastal village of Somers councillors release their carbon neutral policy. As we know 20 per cent of greenhouse gases polluting our atmosphere comes from concrete production. Council may intend to buy carbon offsets on Nauru, where its multi-national works contractor runs long-term “prison� camps for boat people including babies, or have I underestimated our clever council? Have it invented a new way of making concrete without releasing carbon gases? Council is closing the Rye tip amid carbon neutral fanfare and approving, in Somerville, plans for a large open-cut clay and rock quarry. Is this to be the next tip? Our “environmentally sensitive� council should match its actions with its words. David Gill, Balnarring Beach

Footpath ‘extension’ As recent as your last publication it was stated “five kilometres of a two-metre concrete path� [is planned at Somers]. This is totally incorrect. The fact is, approximately 1.5 kilometres of shared/bike pathway will be constructed to extend the existing path into Somers (standard size of two metres wide). The pedestrian path around the Somers bus route will be the approved [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council width of 1.5 metres, finished in a gravel surface on a concrete base (exposed aggregate). If you wish to confirm or seek further information regarding the Somers pathway project contact the shire’s project manager, Jeremy Grieve. The Somers Residents’ Association thanks you for the opportunity of “right of reply�. John Copeland, secretary Somers Residents’ Association

Question path plan Mornington Peninsula Shire Officers informed councillors at their 8 February meeting that crushed

rock (granitic sand), if used as a footpath surface in Somers rather than concrete, would need maintenance every two years. As we ratepayers well know, there are many such paths all over the shire that are never maintained and yet do a great job, due to the very nature of our often sandy subsoils. Shouldn’t our elected councillors be questioning such outlandish statements from shire officers instead of just accepting the shire “preference� for more expensive, higher impact, exposed aggregate concrete? In Somers, existing gravel paths are excellent, yet we have never seen them maintained. But now we are to have a concrete pathway encircling the footprint of our community, forever spoiling the character of our coastal village. It would appear there was never a real choice for an alternative pathway surface. Bogus surveys and shire-approved communications that had suggested “an informal meandering pathway� were merely used to trick the people of Somers and tick the box for community consultation. Pam Bannister, Somers

Safe Schools needed I write to express my support of the work of the Safe Schools Coalition and the many Dunkley schools who are members. I write to give voice to the members of our community who have contacted me with their personal stories, wishing that the program had existed when they were at school and worried that it might now be discontinued. The bullying and discrimination faced by vulnerable students, including LGBTI students, should be acknowledged by all. This is why the Safe School Coalition exists and why not only schools, but also respected organisations such as the Foundation for Young Australians, the Secondary Principals Association and beyondblue, are backing it. The program helps to create a school environment where all students can experience the safety and acceptance that they need to learn and grow. But instead of embracing it, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has caved in to the extremists within his own Liberal Party by announcing that he will review the program. I call on all community leaders to put the interests

of LGBTI students, their families and our community ahead of the fabrications of a few narrow-minded people. Peta Murphy, Labor candidate for Dunkley

Land for housing For more than 100 years the average Australian family was able to buy its first home on one wage. Since 2001 the median house price has increased from three times the median income to more than nine times. As a result, the prospect of ever becoming homeowners has now all but vanished for a great many Australians. So why have house prices skyrocketed when the cost of building a new house has not changed? Land prices. Local and state governments and their land management agencies have refused to provide an adequate and affordable supply of land to meet demand. The so-called scarcity that has driven up land prices is wholly contrived - it is a matter of political choice, not geographic reality. It is the product of restrictions imposed through planning regulation and zoning. Affordable housing leads to bigger and more vibrant communities and a more affordable resident workforce. Struggling farmers are denied the opportunity to subdivide their farms, blocks or disused farmhouses to aid their family business. Quite apart from the economic foolishness of it all, it is morally wrong for legislators to enrich some while impoverishing others. How dare we, the older generation, benefit from affordable housing and deny it to the younger generation? We have denied the next generation much more than a home, we have denied them the security and benefits that go with home ownership and the opportunity to build wealth. Many now defer having a family while they save for a deposit to buy a home.

Choir sings for patron’s 90th WELSHMEN love to sing, and you don’t have to travel far through the Cambrian hills before encountering a male choir. With their origins in the mining communities of the valleys, the Welsh choirs’ harmonies and power are a glorious sound to behold. But Wales is a long way to go when there’s a world class choir on the peninsula. The Australian Welsh Male Choir (CĂ´r Meibion Cymreig Awstralia) has been in Frankston for more than 40 years, entertaining concert-goers with its harmonies and inspirational music. The choir’s repertoire consists of pieces sung in the “language of the angelsâ€? but most of the material is in English: spirituals, opera choruses, show tunes and the best of contemporary music, providing plenty of variety and something for everyone. Mornington Peninsula audiences can hear the choir at a concert for its long-time patron, Baillieu “Bailsâ€? Myer, who lives at Elgee Park, Merricks North, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday (or as Bails likes to put it: the 40th anniversary of his 50th birthday). The concert to thank him for his support will be supported by ensemble “Encore,â€? consisting of four women with their own brand of harmonic magic. The concert will be at 2pm, Sunday 20 March, at Peninsula Community Theatre, 91 Wilsons Rd, Mornington. Tickets from trybooking.com/KFIG or Farrell’s Bookshop, 143 Main St, Mornington.

The Western Port Whisperer

THE Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer had a busy weekend at the Western Port Festival. While it was disappointing not seeing the wrestling matches described in the last column (Greg Hunt vs Sea Shepherd would have been compelling viewing), the weekend was an amazing display of the power of volunteers to pull together and run a huge event. Hopefully more members of the public will get involved next year, and take some pressure off an overworked, underappreciated volunteer committee. *** AS we should be well aware after the festival, 2016 marks the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. While the Festival has acknowledged it via their theme for the year, the actual 950th Anniversary is on Friday 14th October, 2016. The actual anniversary is still

eight months away. The Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer wonder if there are any plans to acknowledge the proper anniversary. Over to you, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Western Port Tourism. *** DESPITE being reminiscent of some scene from George Orwell’s 1984, the CCTV network in Hastings was designed to address any potential issues associated to crime occurring in the vicinity of High Street. It is remarkable, as of late, the number of crimes which have taken place, yet nothing ever seems to happen. The latest example of this is the graffiti tag on the corner of High and King Streets. This has been drawn on the wall right in front of the camera, yet it appears the culprit have not been caught, as their exact tag has been

cropping up around town. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. Surely if so many people fought for years to have the system implemented, then one would expect it to be used to actually solve crimes. *** IT was with great interest that The Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer decided to wager a bet on whether or not the Christmas decorations on High Street, Hastings were still up in mid-February due to someone forgetting to organise their removal from Christmas, or whether the powers to be were getting in early for Christmas in July. If someone would like to let them know the answer, there is a French Vanilla slice in waiting for the winner. *** FOR the second time in just over a month, The Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer wish to

pass on their appreciation to our local emergency services for their work in Somerville a week ago. There is no humour to be made in this situation, thus the message is nice and short. Keep up the good work, and hopefully the rest of the warm weather is kinder to you. *** IT was with great interest to learn this week a new round of funding may be on the way from Canberra to HMAS Cerberus, thanks to the new government white paper. If HMAS Cerberus is looking for a secret reporter, and the money is right, The Whisperer is more than happy for them to contact him regarding such opportunities. *** Heard any Whispers?

Hotel may be sold THE sale of Sorrento’s landmark Continental Hotel is believed to be edging closer, after being on the market for the past 12 months with an expected price of $15 million. ‘The Conti’, with 23 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and 30 car spaces, has been owned by the Di Pietro family for 21 years. It was built in 1875. It is believed a consortium of local businessmen is negotiating to take it over subject to being allowed to build units on the rear, council-owned car park. The exact number is unknown, but a three-storey block with 30 apartments has been suggested. The car park could cost $1-$2 million. The 3580 square metre hotel block is being offered through Sothebys International in conjunction with CBRE. If the sale goes ahead, there are also plans to redevelop the four-storey hotel as a stylish, full-service hotel and restaurant, with pool and day spa, but without public accommodation. Local businessman Julian Gurner would not confirm his role in any

prospective purchase, but hinted that a town planning permit application had been submitted to the shire. He said the project was being advertised this week. He denied the rear car park would be used for apartments. However, the potential loss of that land as car parking is upsetting traders, with the main street – Ocean Beach Rd – often in gridlock during summer. Parking is at a premium with the loss of any spaces resented. Chamber of Commerce vice-president Marc Clavin said parking was the “No. 1 issue in Sorrento”. He said any spaces lost at the east end of the commercial strip would need to be recouped elsewhere. He said traders want the shire to spend money from the sale of the rear car park on new spaces on George St and Morce Av, near the RSL. Mr Clavin said it was critical the shire received the best possible return from the sale of the site so it could maximise future car park spending. Stephen Taylor

Time to relax: Joanne and David Alesci have decided to take a break after 14 years running Mornington restaurant, Mediterraneo. Picture: Yanni

Restaurant says thanks for the memories IT’S almost time to say “arrivederci” to popular Mornington restaurant Mediterraneo, which will close next month. Owners Joanne and David Alesci say they are “tired and need a rest” after 14 years’ at the Queen St site. The pair took over David’s father’s restaurant serving Italian fare after training in city restaurants. They have been attentive dinner hosts Tuesday to Saturday ever since.

“We’re a family restaurant that’s been very well accepted here and we’ve never needed to advertise,” Mrs Alesci said. “We’ve been blessed with loyal customers and staff members and want to say thank you to them.” Mrs Alesci said her family, which includes children John, Jessica and Grace, had no immediate plans: “We want to take a holiday, relax, and spend time with each other. Grace is excited that she’ll have her mum

around more.” The closing day is Saturday 2 April – and Mrs Alesci knows they will be flat out until then. “The sign only went on the window today (Thursday) and we are already almost booked out,” she said. “A lot of people will be coming to say goodbye; there will be so many people that we’ll miss.” The new owners will arrive with a new name and style.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS Fight against melanoma this March AS summer comes to an end, it’s worthwhile remembering our skin, and Dr Floyd Gomes of Atticus Health has some advice on the importance of skin checks. “It is worth considering getting a skin check to make sure we have no skin cancer. Broadly speaking, there are two forms of skin cancer – melanoma and non-melanoma. Out of the two forms, melanoma is far and away more dangerous. Melanomas are typically brown in colour, although not always, and can occur anywhere on the body,” said Dr Gomes. Melanoma – The facts  Melanoma is the fourth most common cancer in Australia, after prostate, bowel and breast cancer.  90% of people with melanoma will be able to be cured by removing the primary cancer.  One person in every 6 hours will die from melanoma in Australia  Melanoma makes up 2% of all skin cancers, but is responsible for 75% of skin cancer related deaths  Melanoma is the most common form of cancer in young Australians (making up 20% off all cancers). Melanoma – What are the risk factors?  Sun burn – especially with blistering during childhood or adolescence  If you’re over 55 years of age, particularly if you’re male  A family history of melanoma – particularly a first degree relative having been diagnosed  Lots of moles  Fair skin

 High UV exposure – if you work outdoors for example Melanoma – What does it look like?  A – Asymmetry, one half of a melanoma looks different from the other  B – Border is irregular  C – Colour variation, melanoma can be multi-coloured having red, blue, white, black & grey  D – Diameter, if it’s greater than 6mm  E – Evolving, is your mole changing or growing “With all the above been said, the month of March hosts “Melanoma March” to increase the awareness of Melanoma, and specifically support important research initiatives into improve the outcome for those suffering from this disease. New drugs are being developed that show promise to extend life in cases where melanoma that has spread from the skin to other areas of the body such as the brain. Hopefully one day, we’ll find a cure,” said Dr Gomes. If you would like join in or donate to Melanoma March – email events@melanoma. org.au or have a look online at http://melanomamarch2016.gofundraise.com.au/

The Director of Mission is an executive position that sits alongside the CEO, Finance and HR and supports a values-based approach to decision making, strategic thinking and service delivery. The Director of Mission ensures the values of the organisation are not just printed words on display, but are inherent in the actions and attitudes of each caregiver in our hospital as they go about their daily duties. Values have a dual role to play. Not only do they describe what is important to us, the principles to which we aspire, they can also hold us to account.

A brilliant east wing includes the main bedroom and a parents retreat – with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with spa bath in

between – which both open out to timber decks. Two more bedrooms in the west wing have built-in robes and share the main bathroom. On the mezzanine level is a rumpus room at one end and the wonderful loft bedroom has built in cupboards. A comprehensive list of conveniences leave nothing to chance with gas ducted heating and airconditioning in addition to the beautiful wood heater, and outside are two sheds with power and a double carport.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Snakes spotted in Frankston park Compiled by Melissa Walsh A lady resident of Frankston had a rather exciting time on Sunday last. While proceeding to church, through the park, she was confronted with two snakes. Though somewhat frightened she pluckily went for the reptiles, and succeeded in killing one with her umbrella, which was smashed in the encounter. The other snake managed to escape. The reptiles were about three feet long. *** THE employees of the Richmond Woollen Mills intend holding their annual picnic in the Frankston Park, on Saturday next, 18th March. *** THE committee of the Moorooduc Sports has decided not to hold sports this year owing to the war and so many of the young men of the district having enlisted. They expect to hold it the following year as usual. *** ENTRIES for the Somerville Show close with the secretary (Mr S. S.Gault) today. The show takes place on Wednesday next, when it is expected there will be a very large entry of fruit, and, given fine weather the attendance should be a record one. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason announce in our advertising columns that arrangements have been completed for the holding of monthly stock sales in the Corporation Yards (Tanti), Mornington, on the third Monday in each month. The first sale will be held on the 20th inst.

*** GENERAL regret is expressed in the district at the death of Robert Scott, only son of Mr and Mrs Erwin, old and highly respected residents of Wells Road, which occurred at Tandarra private hospital, East Melbourne, on Saturday last. The deceased had enlisted some months ago but was discharged on account of the illness to which he succumbed. His remains were interred in the Burwood cemetery. *** OUR readers are reminded that the sale of Major C. W. Campbell’s magnificent furnishings of Amesfield Park takes place on the property on Monday next. This is a rare opportunity for persons wishing to furnish to get valuable furniture at a reasonable cost. A complete catalogue consisting of nearly 1000 lots has been published and may be inspected at this office. In addition to the furnishings there is about 200 sheep, 10 horses, sundry cattle and 100 tons of hay to be sold. Motor cars and cabs will meet trains at Frankston on morning of sale and convey intending buyers to and from Amesfield Park for 1s 6d per head for motors and 1s per head for cabs. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Council, the usual placid proceedings were marred by Cr Turner, who it appears doubted the secretary’s figures with regard to the finances of the Hastings Park, not withstanding the latter having given

the receipts and disbursemnts for several years past. The secretary appealed to the chairman to protect him from such remarks as Cr Turner uttered. His books were auditered every year by competent men and his figures had never been doubted before. The President and other councillors present endorsed what the secretary had said, and the President said that it was very wrong that Cr Turner should endeavor to cast a slur on an officer of the council. Cr Turner said he did not mean to be insulting in his remarks, and only wanted an explanation. Seeing that it had been taken up in the manner it was he would apologise. The apology was accepted and peace was again restored. *** AT a meeting of the Presbyterian Ladies Guild, held at Miss Betts residence on Friday, March 3rd, Mrs Geo. Shepherd was duly elected President. It was decided to hold monthly meetings instead of irregular meetings as before. The Guild was formed some months ago with the idea of raising funds to build a Presbyterian Church, which is much needed in the district, but on account of the war, building with be abandoned for some tine and the Guild will have a chance to work up a good sum of money before building operations commence. With Mrs Shepherd as President, great things are predicted. A concert will be held Easter week.

*** AT the monthly meeting of theSomerville branch of the Red Cross Society, held on Tuesday evening Feb 29th, it was decided to levy 1s on each member to give a donation to the Y.M.C.A. who have appealed to the local branch for support. On applying to the central Red Cross Society for permission to donate to this fund, the branch was informed that in their opinion they could not donate to any fund, and that all money collected for the Red Cross must be used for that purpose only. The secretary, Mrs Geo. Shepherd will be pleased to receive 1s levy from all members as early as possible. *** WATER supply scheme - A scheme is to be prepared for the supplying of water to the Flinders Naval Base and to private residents on the Mornington Peninsula. At the conclusion of the State Cabinet meeting on Tuesday the Premier said “Some years back a proposal was put forward for the supplying of water to various seaside towns on the Mornington Peninsula.” About a year ago, however, the Commonwealth Government found that it would have to provide a large supply of water for the new Flinders naval base on the peninsula, and it was agreed that a combined scheme should be carried out. The supply, it was suggested, should come from the Bunyip River, but before this could be finally decided on further surveys will have to be made. The cost of the scheme will probably

run from £160,000 to £170,000, and it is a consideration precedent that the Federal authorities will be prepared to make satisfactory arrangements for the rising of the money. In anticipation that these arrangements will be made Cabinet on Wednesday approved of recommendation by the Water Commission that it be empowered to make survey so as to ascertain the most effetive source of fees with a view to inviting submission to the Federal and local council. The number of towns include Carrum, Seaford, Frankston Somerville, and Mornington. *** AUSTRALIAN Expeditionary Forces.Recruits wanted. every man physically fit is wanted.Conditions of enlistment. Age—18 to 45 years. Minimum height—5 feet 2 inches. Chest measurement—33 inches. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot, where arrangements will be made for medical examination. *** ALEX Scott and Co. report.—A small yarding of milkers but a fair yarding of springers and fleshy and store cattle to hand. The demand for milkers was slacker,whilst springers and other cattle sold at late rates. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 March, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The deconstructed corned beef fritter debacle By Stuart McCullough IT was a ruin; a steaming, smouldering wreck that could not be retrieved. The hot mess in front of me was supposed to be corned beef fritters. At best it was an abject failure. At worst, it would be something that anyone who’d ever strolled past the television during a cooking program might describe as ‘deconstructed’. All the ingredients were present and accounted for; all that was left was for me to pull the whole thing together. It was in this regard that I had failed and failed miserably at that. Despite my adherence to the recipe, the fritters were determined to break apart. Regardless of the effort I took and despite the abundance of caution I exercised, after mere moments in the fry pan they began to disintegrate. As the remnants sizzled in front of my eyes, all I could think was: this is a symbol of everything that has gone wrong. My wife went away for a month. Having finished one job and not being due to start the next one for a few weeks, she decided to make the most of the opportunity and head overseas. Having lived with someone for ten years, to have her suddenly absent was extremely disorienting. Not that the full force of it hit me straight away. It began, as these things do, with a trip to the airport. As far as excursions go into the alternative luminescent reality that is Tullamarine, it was a complete triumph. We arrived in the dead of night but in plenty of time, and lined up for the check-in counter along with tennis players who’d just been beaten at the

Australian Open and were understandably keen to leave the country as quickly as possible. After saying our goodbyes, I drove towards home, getting stuck in a traffic jam on the Bolte Bridge at midnight because that’s when they change the light bulbs on the street lamps. I can’t tell you how many road workers it takes to change a light bulb, but I can say that

it involves a really big cherry picker and causes some pretty serious traffic congestion. In an ideal world, a late night would be followed by a sleep in. But the world is not ideal, especially when it includes a dog that regards not letting her out at 5am as a substantial deprivation of liberty and refuses to be quiet about it. Long before the

sun had shown its face, I was out of bed. Over a period of time, the dog and I have developed something of an understanding: I’ll get up early on weekends if she’ll let me use that time to write. But as I sat at my computer, all was well in my weary world until I thought I heard the sound of paper being torn. Curious, I got up from my chair to investigate. Walking through the kitchen the sound only got louder. It grew louder still as I walked through the hall to the bedroom. There I found our dog, Fozzie, sitting on the bed and tearing the third volume of Clive James’ memoirs, which I was part way through reading, to pieces. Personally, it was a book I’d been enjoying very much, and I had no idea that the dog felt otherwise. I wondered whether this act of wanton destruction might, in fact, be the start of her career as a literary critic. More than once in the weeks that followed, I have wondered whether the mess I was picking up in the backyard might, in fact, be Fozzie’s review of the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ series. I’d certainly like to think so. It was an inauspicious start. Clearly, the dog and I needed to work a few things out if both of us were to survive the next few weeks – if she could stop eating my books, I would do my best to cease mistaking her dog food pellets for breakfast cereal. Granted, I realised something was wrong after the first seven or eight spoonfuls, but she seemed to take my innocent mistake quite personally. Before Kate, I lived by myself for a long time. And given all those years

of practice, I should really good at it. But a household is a delicate thing, and an absence will inevitably upset the natural balance if not completely disturb the space / time continuum. The dog was clearly put out; taking any chance she got over the next few weeks to burst into the bedroom in search of Kate or to lie in front of the door in the belief that she would, eventually, have no choice but to emerge. Meanwhile, we developed a routine in which we went to the park for a walk every day. Once, getting her to walk up the street was a stop-start proposition. Now we set a great pace. It was at the park that I realised just how friendly our dog is, as she greeted canines and humans with equal enthusiasm. Not that our troubles were at an end. Sensing weakness, the dog took to jumping up on the couch, forcing me to place upturned chairs on the cushions. The end result was a lounge room that looked as if it had a giant porcupine squatting in it. I had help of course – lots of it. Thanks to the generosity of my mother in law and nephews, the dog was well looked after during the day. And yet things felt inordinately busy. As though they might slip off the rails at any give moment. But as I shovelled deconstructed corned beef fritter over my lips, it tasted a lot better than it looks. Perhaps despite the chaos and things not turning out quite how you expect, things can still be all right. Or they’re okay so long as you keep your books out of harm’s way. I’m sure Clive James would agree. www.stuartmccullough.com

SAFARI MOTEL By Terri Lee Fatouros

With Liam Kealy on Hammond keys rocking it and Dean James producing first-class riffs on lead, the four originals of Nicholas Pearce (sax), Jason Nehill (bass), Neil Richardson (percussion) and Nicole Nehemia (vocals) are paramount in sound. Their panache is making waves at the Heritage 3059 on Sunday, 13th March. Safari Motel are seeped in soul, funk and blues and combined with their big band sound is really rocking it. Over the past two years they have been playing regularly at festivals around the state and have attracted a huge and loyal fan base. Their mix of feel-good, high-energy original funk, groove, blues and soul music has earned them a place in the thriving Melbourne music scene as one of its most sought after live acts. The band performs regularly at many major music festivals including Motor City Music, Echuca Winter Blues, Wangaratta Jazz, Blues Train

and Docklands plus a heap of others. Recently, these talented musicians were finalists in the MBAS International Blues Challenge and had their debut album in the Top 30 of the Australian Blues and Roots Airplay Chart. Nehemia’s vocals still hold that intensity of range, and if any change is noticeable after all this time it’s her ability to project her voice; I reckon she could break glass if push came to shove as she can really belt out a song. However, just as easily she can do soft, mellow and sensual lyrics and is perfect as front woman for her band. Safari Motel are pulling no punches; they’ve got the ingredients to go a long way in this industry, they are the real deal in funky soul and a band to watch out for. Catch them up close and personal in Balnarring at the Heritage 3059 this March – they’ll hit the stage at 3pm on Sunday the 13th.

Marion Manifold is a printmaker interested in identity and women’s’ body image. In Flowers in the Field - Waiting for Sunrise she recognizes women in the Anzac centenary drawing attention to how women served in the field and at home. Coming from a family with a long service history,

their stories and experiences have always fascinated her. She is working on a new series of World War One linocuts and will speak at the gallery on May 1. Saltwater Country is a touring exhibition of contemporary art from Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders showcasing the work of 16 of Queensland’s most acclaimed Indigenous artists. Saltwater Country refers to Queensland’s coastline, sea and waterways.

Eagles fail to soar: Somerville went down to Peninsula Old Boys, letting them into the Grand Final. Picture: Andrew Hurst

It’s grand for POB, Magpies PROVINCIAL By IT Gully CRIB Point will play Peninsula Old Boys in the Provincial Grand Final after they won their respective semifinals on the weekend. Crib Point made light work of beating Baxter, winning the game six wickets down on Sunday. Peninsula Old Boys knocked over Somerville, picking up the final wicket at 4.30pm on Sunday afternoon to advance to yet another big dance.

It was an impressive performance from the Old Boys, who were well led by ‘old-timer’ Jonny Forrest, who rescued the Old Boys with 58 on Saturday before taking 2/9 off a five over spell. It was that spell that saw Jack Barbour and Brad Rossborough removed within two balls of one another when both looked comfortable at the crease. However, when they were sent packing, Somerville was in some strife at tea at 5/109. Earlier in the innings, opening quick Adam Jones got the Old Boys

going with quick wickets. The Eagles felt they were in the contest at tea, however, Zac Fillipone removed Justin Allsop in the second over after tea and it was all downhill from there. Somerville were bowled out for 150, chasing POB’s 225. At one stage in their innings, POB was 2/0 and 5/55, however, Will Crowder scored 24, Glenn Prendergast 23, Forrest 58 and Tom LaBrooy 40. In the other semi-final Henry Dolphin scored a half century to

set-up Crib Point’s victory against Baxter. Baxter scored 156 in 77.5 overs on Saturday with Todd Quinn top scoring with 36, Daniel Lanati scoring 32 and Ben Brittain 30. At one stage Baxter was 7/94. Glenn Barclay and Brad Arnold snared three wickets each. On Sunday, Baxter was short on bowlers and it showed with Crib Point easing to victory with plenty of overs to spare and four wickets in hand. Grand Final

Crib Point and POB will face off in this weekend’s grand final at RM Hooper Oval on Graydens Rd. The Magpies hosted POB in round two in the first two day game of the season. The Old Boys batted first and made 8/301 with Dylan O’Malley scoring 77, Matty Hyden 76 and Will Crowder 58. In reply, the Magpies were bowled out in the 56th over for 108. Rob Hearn top scored for the Magpies with 30. Tom Feldgen was the star for the Old Boys with 5/31 off 17 overs.

Panthers to fight with Sharks DISTRICT

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE will be looking for back-to-back flags in this weekend’s District Grand Final after beating Baden Powell on Saturday. The Panthers won the Sub District Grand Final last season and have been superb in 2015/16 in their first season in District. While the Panthers were celebrating, it was heads in hands for Red Hill. In one of the upsets of the season, the 2015/16 dominant side of the competition, Red Hill, were bundled

out of the premiership race by Flinders. The Hillmen may have scored 303 against the Sharks in their home and away match earlier in the season, however, they limped to just 160 on Saturday when they batted first. The Panthers and the Sharks will go head to head this weekend at Mornington’s Alexandra Park. Red Hill skipper Simon Dart top scored for his side on Saturday with 29. The Hillmen were bowled out in the 68th over. Matt Burns was superb for Flinders with 4/36 from 23.2 overs, while Max Royal was equally as impressive with

4/20 from 16 overs. The Hillmen had their chances in the match on Sunday, however Tom Clements and Simon Parrott put on a solid partnership and got their side over the line. Down the road at Pearcedale Reserve, the game was a little tighter, Pearcedale winning by just nine runs. Baden Powell won the toss and batted first on Saturday with Rhys Elmi top scoring with 57, while Ryan Barnett was the only other play to get to double figures with 17. The Braves were bowled out in the 53rd over for 103.

Shane Maggs was the destroyer for the Panthers with 5/36 from 18 overs. Pearcedale was in real strife at stumps after facing the final 27 overs of the day. The Panthers resumed on Sunday at 4/38 and while they were far from convincing, were able to get to 112, which was enough to win the match and advance to the grand final. Baden Powell had another crack and declared at 8/58 before having one last go at the Panthers. Pearcedale were more than happy to bat the overs out. Grand Final The 2015/16 Grand Finalists met in

Round 7 at BA Cairns Reserve, the first match of 2016 and a one-dayer. The Sharks batted first and made 8/144 in 40 overs with Andrew Power top scoring with 41 and Mitch Stansborough scoring 33. Chris Dew took 3/29 for the Panthers. In reply, Pearcedale was bowled out for 98 in the 35th over. Will Kennedy top scored with 21, while Matt Burns claimed 3/16, Dwayne Field 2/30 and Blake HoganKeogh 2/26. Shane Maggs is no doubt the trump card for the Panthers in the grand final.

Dromana fairytale ends SUB-DISTRICT

Bowled out of the finals: Rosebud managed to beat Hastings in their match, securing a grand final berth. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully THE fairytale story of Dromana Cricket Club ended abruptly on Sunday at the hands of Frankston YCW in the MPCA Sub District semi-final. The Hoppers have been the whipping boys of the competition for many seasons, however, with the inclusion of Darren Kerr and Aaron Kaddatz and co, quickly became the glamour team of Sub District in 2015/16. However, on Sunday afternoon, the Hoppers were soundly beaten by the Stonecats by more than 100 runs. The Stonecats will face Rosebud in the Grand Final after the Buds smashed Hastings in the other semi-final. Frankston YCW won the toss and batted first on Saturday, setting Dromana a solid total of 8/233 for victory on Sunday. Levi McLoughlin-Dore saved his best innings of the season for the semi with 62, while Jack Greenwood scored 47, Kip Mulvogue 38 and Lai Leaunoa 35. The Hoppers used eight bowlers in a bid to get wickets. Craig Dunlop was the pick of them with 3/28 from 17 overs. Dromana was 7/91 at tea and was all out for 111. In the other semi-final between Rosebud and Hastings, once again, it was a game that didn’t reach any great heights. Like their home and away match

where Rosebud pulled off a reverse outright, it appeared as though the match could head the same way after 14 wickets were lost on the first day. Rosebud was bowled out for 139 in 61 overs on Saturday after winning the toss. Jason Nagel top scored with 44 and Luke Marshall hit 33. At one stage, Rosebud was 8/62. Luke Hewitt was outstanding for the Blues with 7/43 from 21.4 overs. Hastings didn’t fare much better with the bat, struggling to 3/27 after facing the final 19 overs on Saturday. On Sunday, the Blues were bowled out for just 104. Rosebud was sent back in but was cruising at 1/62 before the game was called-off. Grand Final Sub District Grand Finalists Rosebud and Frankston YCW met in Round 3 way back in October 2015 - it was a one-day clash. The Buds made 5/127 in their 40 overs with Billy Quigley top scoring with 39. Andy Kitson took 2/10 from 10 overs. In reply, the Stonecats fell seven runs short, scoring 9/120 from 40 overs. Jack Greenwood top scored with 53 for YCW while Scott Millar claimed 3/33 for the Buds. There were three run-outs.
