Big changes in the legislation for roller blind chain requirements are driving the rapid expansion and development of blind motorisation. Over time this new legislation will result in the complete phase out of all chains on roller blinds. In Europe, it will be compulsory for any new roller blind installed after 2017 to have motorisation instead of roller chains. These legislative changes will soon also apply to the Australian market. Peninsula Curtains is at the forefront of this change. We offer personalised solutions for all of your automation needs, with features that include; soft start and stop speed control, adjustable and automatic limits and intermediate positioning. Control options include; AC switching, digital technology, individual contact, sun control, timer control and group master control. Motorised curtain tracks are also a popular addition to open plan living. They create a soft room divider for extra privacy whilst still allowing for a large open plan feel when entertaining. They are designed to accommodate both one way and centre opening options, and are functional and quiet for optimal acoustics. :LWK WKH VLJQLÂżFDQW JURZWK DQG GHYHORSPHQW LQ WKH DUHD RI PRWRULVDWLRQ LWÂśV D SHUIHFW WLPH WR WDNH advantage of our Celsius sale by getting quality products with great value for money!

Puddle muddle BUSINESSES using Blamey Place car park in Mornington have had enough of the winter ritual of dodging water-filled potholes and corrugations and are calling on the shire to seal it. The call comes after the council approved its “Unmade car park construction strategy�. The shire has 250 unsealed car parks and asphalting the top 25 on a new list could take up to 15 years and cost $10 million. Blamey Place is number 12 on the list, behind other town car parks at Currawong Community Centre, Mills Beach, Civic Bowls Club, Albert St car park and Barrett Lane car park as well as other on the peninsula. Jacobs and Lowe Real Estate has an entrance on Blamey Place and director Peter Skewes (pictured with staff member Laura Ward) said sealing and marking the car park would increase its capacity by 15-20 per cent. “I’m conscious other areas need to be sealed but reckon most people owning property on Blamey Place would see paying for sealing as a good investment,� he said. “It’s a buoyant market and a sealed car park would encourage owners to develop their buildings.� He said the car park put off people who had come to Mornington to shop.

Fast internet on way at last Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au WELL, for two lucky towns on the peninsula it will have taken only 14 years from first to final promise – a “super-fast broadband network� that will enable homes and businesses to join the “information superhighway�. Yes, the National Broadband Network is coming to Mornington and Mt Martha next year, NBN Co announced last Wednesday. Spokesman Michael Moore said the
company, which is owned by the federal government, had added 18 towns to its “green maps� showing “build preparation work for the ... network has started for a further 70,400 homes and businesses across Victoria�. Mr Moore said parts of Mornington and Mt Martha “have entered pre-construction phase�. This means preparing existing Telstra pits and pipes for the network. He said more than one million homes and businesses could now connect to
the network. “We have a target of eight million homes and businesses connected by 2020,� he said. Joining Mornington and Mt Martha “on the map� are the coastal villages of Blind Bight, Cannons Creek and Warneet, nearby Tooradin and Koo Wee Rup as well as Officer and Pakenham further north. Others include Jan Juc, Torquay, Clifton Springs, Drysdale, Indented Head, Portarlington, St Leonards, Ballan and Wangaratta.

tion after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced his government’s NBN plan in 2009 – Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) for 93 per cent of all homes at a cost of, well, $44 billion if you believed Labor, $50 billion not long after when problems sent costs soaring, and $94 billion if you believed Malcolm Turnbull just before the 2013 election, when he said the Coalition could do it for $29.5 billion by dropping Labor’s more expensive Fibre to the Premises plan.

Disputes delay CCTV till October Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE good news of early April about improvements to street safety in Mornington has lost some of its gloss after it was revealed CCTV cameras will not be installed until October at the earliest. Federal MP Bruce Billson said on 9 April that the town’s commercial area would “soon be safer, with work finally underway to expand the CCTV network and street lighting in local laneways”. “Resolving issues associated with the transfer of the existing CCTV network from Mornington Chamber of Commerce to shire council control, power billing disputes, and grant conditions have combined to produce frustrating project delays, so I am relieved that we are now seeing action,” he said. The project was restarted last week when light poles were installed in the first of seven laneways. Shire contractors are installing the lights, which has to be done before 16 new CCTV cameras are installed. The project has been funded by the federal government to the tune of $400,000 under its Safer Streets Program, with money coming from the proceeds of crime. Mr Billson said seven laneways connecting Main St with car parks would receive improved lighting, and the commercial centre’s existing CCTV system would be expanded. “The grant is part of my $759,000 election commitment to fight crime, improve personal security and combat anti-social behaviour in Dunkley,” he
Cyclist ‘critical’ A CYCLIST suffered critical injuries after being knocked off his bike by a Ford utility about noon, Wednesday, on Nepean Highway, Safety Beach. The 17-year-old Dromana SAecondary College student, of Mt Martha, was airlifted to The Alfred hospital where his condition on Friday was described as “unchanged, critical”. The collision occurred near the intersection of Ponderosa Place. Police said the driver of the ute, a man aged 46, stopped to help. “The worst thing for a policeman is to see a boy on the road,” Senior Constable Steve Caple, of Frankston highway patrol, said after attending the scene. “You never get used to it.” Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives want to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or saw the bicycle or the white ute. Anyone with information can call Frankston highway patrol on 8770 4100, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report to crimestoppersvic.com.au
Roundabout repairs Hasten slowly: Federal MP Bruce Billson, Judy Edwards and Kim Rowe of Mornington Chamber of Commerce inspect CCTV and lighting wiring in one of the laneways between Main St and McLaren Place. Poles were installed last week. Picture supplied
said. (Dunkley stretches from Seaford to Mornington.) He said shire staff and its contractors “are managing the work, which so far includes the installation of infrastructure like conduits to power the new lights and CCTV cameras”. “The shire has completed installation of infrastructure in Laneway One [near
the post office] and is now moving sequentially through each of the other laneways. Once this process is complete, the CCTV and lighting will be installed,” he said. Mr Billson said the project would enable business owners, staff and patrons to feel safe “whether involved in shopping, dining or nightclubbing
– and as Main Street and adjacent areas take on a different character and complexion at different times of the day and week”. The grant covers new equipment at Mornington police station and installation of a link between Mornington CCTVs and Mt Eliza’s yet-to-beinstalled cameras.
ROUNDABOUT repairs at the intersection of Main and Barkly streets, Mornington, have begun. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb described the works as a “positive outcome of community and shire advocacy to VicRoads”. VicRoads will contribute $50,000 to the $56,000 project which includes replacing the existing kerb, replacing the brick “ring” inside the kerb with concrete and repairing the pavement. The works, to be completed later this month, will be done 8pm-5am to minimise disruption.

Footy board called on to resign Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly team@mpnews.com.au NEPEAN League presidents have called for the immediate resignation of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League board. Sorrento Football Club president Garry Woodhams sent an email on behalf of all Nepean league clubs to MPNFL Board chairman Stuart Gilchrist last Friday afternoon (19 June), together with a notice of no confidence, which was signed by 11 of the 12 Nepean League clubs. Somerville abstained from the vote, given recent events over the Player Points System (PPS) debacle (‘Somerville ‘misled’, results in doubt’, The News 9/6/15). Presidents and delegates of all clubs of the Nepean League met on 15 June at Red Hill Football Club. According to Woodham’s email, the purpose of the meeting was to provide the Nepean clubs with an open forum, free of interference, in which to discuss their concerns with the current and future direction of the MPNFL. The MPNFL board and administrators were not invited to the meeting and some made calls to club representatives before and after the meeting to try to find out what was happening. At the meeting, there was a unanimous indication by show of hands that all clubs have lost confidence in the MPNFL board and administration. According to Woodhams’ email, “this erosion of confidence stems from an ever growing list of administrative failings over the last 24 months and is
not confined to recent issues alone”. One club source said there was no doubt the total loss of confidence is a result of the recent incompetence shown by the MPNFL Board and Administration over their handling of the PPS saga with Somerville FC. “The failure of the MPNFL Board to address the concerns of clubs and to manage and perform the administration appropriately has led to the clubs seeking recourse by taking matters into their own hands,” Woodhams wrote. “On behalf of the Nepean clubs and in accordance with the signed notices, I hereby give notice of our request for the immediate resignation of the MPNFL Directors – at which time the clubs will ask the AFL South East Commission to take the following steps: Commissioners from AFL SE Commission to fill the casual vacancies until the next AGM in a caretaker capacity until at least the holding of the next Annual General Meeting of the MPNFL. Conduct a review into the most appropriate governance structure for the NFNL. Conduct a review of the most appropriate administration structure for the NFNL Assess and report on the current business practices of the MPNFL including a full audit. Undertake a Rules and By-Law review. Assess the relationship status with all stakeholders in the region. “As stated in the notice of no confidence, should the MPNFL Board reject this notice and the conditions set out in
Duty bound: AFL South East general manager Jeremy Bourke says the governing body will help clubs if the MPNFL board resigns.
the notice, the affiliated clubs will be left with no option other than to act in accordance with the MPNFL Constitution and seek a Special General Meeting. “We appeal the MPNFL Board to abide by the mandate of the clubs as evidenced by the attached notices and to abstain from engaging in an elongated process of which the outcome is certain. The clubs also require a written response from the MPNFL board within seven days of this email and any attempt to obfuscate and delay the timeframe will not be accepted,” Woodhams wrote. Peninsula League clubs will meet on Monday night to discuss broader issues. However, the Nepean League’s recent actions are expected to be high on their agenda. It is believed that at least seven of the 10 Peninsula League clubs support Nepean League’s actions and will vote accordingly when asked to. Collectively, the clubs need a 75 per cent majority to execute the notice of
enito’s B
no confidence. The votes of six of the peninsula clubs will give them the 75 per cent. AFL South East general manager Jeremy Bourke said the regional board had no role to play in the decision of the Nepean League clubs to issue the Notice of No Confidence. “Similar to Casey Cardinia League last year, the Nepean League clubs have come together and stated that they are seeking a change in their best interests. That’s the catalyst for their actions,” Bourke said. “There hasn’t been an option for clubs in the past (to challenge the board and administration), so it’s been a difficult process for them to do anything. “Football people have always had the best interests of their own club at hand and doing anything outside of this has been extremely difficult for them. Their priorities are understandably their own clubs, not trying to address the higher issues. “AFL South East played no role in the clubs making this decision. They (Nepean and Peninsula League clubs) came to us to ask what level of support we could provide. As the governing body in the region for AFL football, it was our duty to provide them a direction and then to provide support to assist in the outcomes. If the clubs move a notice of no confidence, it’s our duty to provide caretaker governance and to address the situation. “It’s our responsibility to facilitate the most appropriate structure moving forward, determine who is best to fill the roles required to administer the league and give advice on the best
course of action for the clubs moving forward. The MPNFL is one of the proudest football competitions in Australia and we absolutely want to preserve that,” Bourke said. Bourke said the clubs would not lose their identity as clubs and as a league, under the guidance of the AFL. “Clubs won’t lose their independence in the slightest. It’s important that all leagues have individual boards. It’s important our leagues maintain their identity, their history. “However, it’s also important that they have a selection of board members who are focused on the needs of the league. It’s also important that they interconnect with a greater structure that provides some strategic direction for the clubs and their league. “This will be a consultative process and all stakeholders will have an opportunity to influence the decisions that are made. The aim of regional governance is to bring all administration together and provide more effective and efficient structures to meet the needs of clubs and leagues. “When you do that there are savings to be made. You no longer have two people from two leagues doing the same job. Given this, there will be a cost saving for the clubs.” Nepean League will stand alone if peninsula clubs do not support the move but it is expected that the majority of Peninsula League clubs will support the Nepean League stance. MPNFL chairman Stuart Gilchrist and chief executive officer Jeff Jones declined to comment when contacted by The News.

An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.
Free serves of legal advice and food MORNINGTON residents will soon be able to get free legal advice at Peninsula Community Legal Centre when it returns to 320 Main St on Fridays from 3 July. The fortnightly service will be in addition to free services already being offered by Stidston Warren Lawyers. Mornington Community Information Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott says the not-for-profit services offer residents access to free legal advice whenever they require it, especially when it’s urgent. “There have been some big changes here in Mornington over the past two years,” she said. “Mornington is a lovely township and a great meeting place where locals come together over coffee or to celebrate the wonderful food and wine of the peninsula. “However, many people cannot afford everyday luxuries and are isolated due to financial and social restraints.” That’s about to change thanks to Mornington Community Information and Support Centre, St Peters Anglican Church, Rotary Club Mornington and The Freemasons Mornington, volunteers will offer free community meals on Monday and Friday nights at The Masonic Lodge, Barkly St, Mornington. Also, a free cuppa and food is available 7-9pm, Wednesdays, at St Mac’s Cafe, St Macartan’s Community Centre – Drake St, Mornington.
A free men’s breakfast is served at St Mac’s on Saturday mornings. A free Fresh Food Program is offered on Thursday mornings at St Marks Uniting Church, corner Waterloo Pl and Barkly St, Mornington, by the Mornington Community Information and Support Centre and volunteers from St Vincent’s de Paul. “This amazing contribution by local community groups is reaching out to our most vulnerable community members,” Ms Elliot said. She had earlier spoken about “the outstanding community support” be-
ing offered by Mornington volunteers at a Human Rights Film Festival at Federation Square. “Not only are we feeding and nurturing our most vulnerable residents, but the food being offered is mostly nutritious surplus food and produce that would otherwise go to waste,” she said. “Thanks to Secondbite it is redirected in a safe and timely distribution process to agencies and people in need.” SecondBite “rescues” and redistribute surplus fresh food.
Music, art at the summit LOBBY group Save Our Seat is holding a weekend of “art, music and talk” dubbed “Wonga Weekend” 10am-5pm on Saturday and Sunday at Arthurs Hotel on Arthurs Seat to raise funds for the group’s ongoing opposition to the proposed $18 million gondola. The event is named after the wonga pigeon that once nested on the summit. Saturday activities include artists painting Arthurs Seat (free), kids’ art activities (donation), Gidja Walker of Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association talking about the flora and fauna of Arthurs Seat at
3pm (donation), and live music from 5-9pm (tickets $25 at saveourseat.org) with Tendrils (Charlie Owen and Joel Silbersher), solo singer-songwriter Alexandra Pye, and the Originals singing country rock ’n’ roll. Sunday activities include kids’ art activities (donation), singersongwriter David O’Connell 1-3pm (free), and food writer Richard Cornish presenting jamon and sherry with tastings at 3pm (donation).

Half a century of making sure the mail gets through Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON postie Ray Garlick took his dad’s advice and applied for a job with the old PMG way back in 1965. And he’s still doing it, and loving it, 50 years later. Mr Garlick attended Mornington Primary School in Vale St and is a former pupil of famed historian and teacher Leslie Moorhead. He finished school after Form 3 when he was 15 years six months. “Dad was a telephone linesman and he suggested I try becoming a postie,” Mr Garlick said last week. “I applied and had to sit an exam of Grade 6 arithmetic and spelling to get the job.” Starting work in 1965, he said he “felt very comfortable and liked it from the start”, becoming a telegram boy at the delivery centre in Bruce St, Mornington, and later a postie. After stints at Kooweerup, Trafalgar and Rosebud he returned to Mornington and now lives in Oakland St. A motor scooter has replaced the pushbike but the days are much the same – sorting and loading mail and then riding out into the fresh air, rain, hail or shine. The job has not changed much, although parcels make up a bigger proportion of the load in these days of online shopping. How many kilometres would he have ridden? “Probably millions,” Mr Garlick said. “And I have made lots of friends and have some wonderful customers.” One positive is that there are fewer problems with dogs. “You hardly ever see them anymore. They are all locked away now,” he said. Colleague Sean O’Keefe – a relative newcomer after only 25 years’ service – said he was “privileged to work with such a gentleman” as Ray. “Most of this time has been served in Mornington and he is an oracle of knowledge on all things Mornington,” he said. “He was educated here, lives here and, of course, works here. He is quite a shy man, but much loved by all those who come into contact with him and also for those of us who are lucky to work with him. “To be with the same employer for 50 years is a great effort and I think he is deserving of some recognition in the community for his efforts.” While describing his career as having been “one long journey,” Mr Garlick says he has no plans to retire when he achieves the milestone on 6 July: “Not while I’m enjoying it so much.”

Fast internet on its way Continued from Page 1 The NBN has been a well-inflated political football for two peninsula federal politicians – Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt. In Opposition until September 2013, the two MPs used every opportunity to criticise the Labor government’s plan for the NBN, claiming peninsula residents would have to wait for up to 15 years “for an internet service they would otherwise already have” if the Howard government had been re-elected in 2007. Mr Hunt enticed communications spokesman (now minister) Malcolm Turnbull to a community meeting at Rosebud in September 2012 where almost 300 people complained about poor internet connection. In the same month Mr Billson said the NBN was “taking too long to be rolled out, costs too much, and was not prioritising the areas with the worst broadband”. Last week Mr Billson said “18,400 premises covering all of Mornington and part of Mt Martha are next to get NBN, around a decade earlier than
expected under the previous Labor government”. “I am heartened NBN Co is now including Mornington and Mt Martha in the [Abbott] government’s first round of fibre-to-the-node connections. Several premises can be connected through one central port. This differs to fibre to the premises, which requires a separate connection for each home or business.” He said the NBN had “delivered speeds [to enable] streaming up to 18 high-definition videos simultaneously or other bandwidth intensive applications such as online learning”. The News understands that Dromana, Rye and Shoreham are listed for construction over the next 18 months. The NBN is being installed in premises at Frankston South from Sweetwater Creek to Humphries Rd including parts of Overport Rd. In May so-called pre-construction work started in Mt Eliza. About 10,000 premises in Karingal and a small part of Frankston have access. Details: www.nbnco.com.au
Network a long time in making THE first time a national broadband network was widely discussed was in 2003 when the Howard government formed the Broadband Advisory Group, which considered a proposal to install a fibre network to nodes. Three years later the concept had evolved into broadband for rural and regional Australians as well as city slickers. In 2007 a bundle of telecommunication companies minus Telstra proposed a Fibre to the Node system. Later that year during the lead-up to the federal election, Labor promised a “super-fast” network if elected. In 2009 Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced he was dumping the Howard government’s Opel Network fibre to the node plan and would spend $44 billion on fibre to the premises as well as using fixed wireless and satellites for rural and regional users. NBN Co was formed in April 2009 and has been wracked by problems, fallen short of targets, missed deadlines and lost senior staff including its boss Mike Quigley. Following the Abbott government’s election in late 2013, things seem to have improved – there was the long-awaited deal with Telstra and late last year an ambitious new schedule to reach 1.9 million premises by June 2016. Rollout maps are at www.nbn.com.au Mike Hast

Navy’s newest ship slips away IN the dullest possible late afternoon calm weather, the very grey Nuship Adelaide passes Point King at Sorrento on Wednesday last week heading for Sydney after completing her first trials on Port Phillip. The ship, which will become HMAS Adelaide when commissioned, arrived in Port Phillip from Spain in February 2014 on the semi-submersible transport ship Blue Marlin. The hull of the so-called LHD (Landing Helicopter Dock) ship, the second of the Royal Australian Navy’s new amphibious vessels, was built at the renowned naval shipyard in Ferrol in northern Spain by Navantia and launched in July 2012.
Adelaide has been fitted out by BAE Systems at Williamstown shipyard and is expected to go into service in 2016. She is a sister ship to HMAS Canberra, which arrived in Port Phillip on Blue Marlin in October 2012 and was handed to the navy last year. At full load, Canberra and Adelaide will each displace 27,851 tonnes, making them the largest ships to serve in the RAN. Each ship can carry a combined armed battle group of more than 1100 personnel, 100 armoured vehicles and 12 helicopters as well as a 40-bed hospital. Picture: Andrew Mackinnon, www.aquamanships. com

Author teaches word craft to children
Green light for speed cut
CHILDREN who enjoy writing stories or “devour books�, or dream of becoming an author are ideal candidates for writing workshops with bestselling Frankston author, Michelle Hamer. Hamer has run writing and publishing programs with local schools for several years and is now launching Wordsmiths, creative writing workshops, at the Frankston Library in term three. “Children have innate imagination and creativity,� Hamer said. “But they can get overwhelmed when they try to order their thoughts on the page. “By offering them some insight in to writing techniques and story structure they can have the satisfaction of creating cohesive, effective narratives.� Hamer says she also focuses on fostering imagination and creativity. “Kids often get told off for daydreaming, I think we should encourage it. Fantasies and daydreams are integral to the life of an author, I do some of my best work while staring off in to space,� she says. Hamer is the author of 11 books published around the world. Last year she had four children’s books published in Penguin’s Our Australian Girl series. “Working with kids is inspiring and challenging,� she says, “And it gives me a great sounding board for new book ideas. The kids quickly let me know if they don’t like what I’m working on.� Wordsmiths Writing Workshops will run weekly from Monday 20 July to 14 September at Frankston Library. Grade one-to-three from 4.10pm, grades four-to-six from 5.10pm, and secondary from 6.15pm. Cost: $200 a term. Details: facebook.com/wordsmithsworkshops or email: wordsmithsworkshops@yahoo.com.au
DESPITE strong community pressure to keep speed limits as they are, VicRoads is proceeding to reduce Coolart Rd to 80kph. “To make this road safer right now, the speed limit needs to be reduced and we will start working on making repairs on the road to improve the condition of the road,� VicRoads Metro South East regional director Aidan McGann said. He said that a large part of the community had expressed a desire to retain a higher speed along the road and suggested that VicRoads should instead make the road safer with widening and repairs and improve lighting. Mr McGann said VicRoads had received more than 650 responses to a survey and hundreds of comments on social media “which has created a clear picture of what the community is seeking�.
“The big message we have received is that there are sections of Coolart Rd that are in need of urgent repair. Some people have said they don’t feel safe on the road, because of the road condition. “Bringing the road up to a standard where the community feels safer is a high priority and this will be given a lot of attention in the next 12 months�. A follow-up survey would be made in 12 months. “In the short term, VicRoads with the support of Victoria Police, will press ahead with reducing the speed limit to 80kph,� Mr McGann said. “Many people have expressed concerns with the behaviour of some drivers using this road, with speeding and reckless overtaking being specifically mentioned.�
Arrest over armed robbery, burglaries
Author writes: Author Michelle Hamer will be teaching her craft to children of different ages during third term at Frankston Library.
A 39-year-old Rye man has been charged with armed robbery after allegedly threatening an 80-year-old woman milk bar attendant with what appeared to be a shotgun. The gun was later found to be an imitation. The man is also facing seven counts of burglary and two of theft from cars in the Rosebud area over the past few weeks. He allegedly pointed what was thought to be a sawn-off shotgun at the woman at the Melbourne Rd milk bar about 4pm on Sunday 14 June. The woman told police the man ran around the counter and forced her to open the till, escaping with $400. Detective Sergeant Nick Vallas, of
Mornington police, said it would be alleged the gun was found when the man was arrested during a raid on a house in Woomera St, Rye, early on Thursday morning. The arrest was made after Detective Leading Senior Constable Deb Seymour, of Mornington police, thought she recognised a possible suspect and his car while viewing CCTV footage of robberies at Rosebud stores, a doctor’s surgery and offices. She was later granted a warrant to search his home for stolen goods. The man faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court the same day and was remanded to appear at a later date. Stephen Taylor

To preserve Port Phillip, Melbourne should learn from Sydney By Tim Flannery I GREW up beside Port Phillip, just up the road from Melbourne’s most striking natural feature, the Red Bluff cliffs. In those easier days I was allowed to wander to the beach to fish, beachcomb or swim. When I was 10 I took up snorkelling and at 15 scuba diving. From Sandringham to Mornington I came to know Port Phillip’s waters intimately. I loved it in all of its seasons – even mid-winter, when my face would ache from the freezing water. In that season life was in suspended animation – like a frozen tableau – but the water was crystal clear. As the spring rolled in, strange visitors arrived. Big-eyed, silvery elephant sharks, made bizarre by fang-filled pseudo-mouths atop their heads, would slip into the shallows to lay their eggs. I caught one once, thinking I’d feed the family, but was repulsed to discover that its flesh was green. Later in the season vast schools of bait fish would arrive. I would float suspended in the mass of fish as they cast a fishy shadow around me, despite the violent dashes of the barracuda scattering them on all sides. Relentlessly surging north, always north, they manifested the irrepressible pulse of life itself. Then came the season for dusky flathead, and flounder, which would lie disguised on the rocky reefs, awaiting their chance to eat, and reproduce. The background to all this activity was the reefs that lined the shore, their rocks encrusted with pink and purple coralline algae. Cricket ball-sized heads of temperate water coral, yellow and orange pot-shaped sponges, and feather-headed worms studded pink and purple, bringing astonishing colour and variety. Under rocks lurked multi-coloured starfish, colourful crabs, shrimps, worms and blennies. To me, the waters
of Port Phillip were as glorious as any tropical sea. Perhaps more so, because the tropics are boringly uniform across the Pacific, while many of the glories I saw in Port Phillip were ancient Gondwanan survivors, unique to southern Australia. I left Melbourne in January 1980, aged 24, to study in Sydney. I can’t remember my last dive, but I’m sure that I had no idea it would be 33 years until my next. In 2013, family drew me home. The first thing I did was to revisit my favourite underwater haunt – the rocky reef at Beaumaris. For me, it is a special place, a touchstone of memory and experience so vivid that I frequently dream of it. The rocky reef is a fossil bed containing the bones and teeth of creatures that lived in an ancient Port Phillip more than six million years ago. The teeth of sharks larger than those of any great white, and the jawbones of mighty sperm whales, lay on the bottom there, awaiting pick-up by a curious boy. I had discovered the place when I was nine years old and had dived it hundreds of times searching for fossils. When I plunged into the water in 2013 I knew immediately that the place of my childhood was gone. Instead of a beautiful rocky reef covered in coral, I floated above a cesspit of green scum. Algae grew on every surface, and it had trapped a layer of mud that had suffocated almost all of the life that once thrived there. Thankfully the damage is reversible. Without pollution the green algae will starve, the mud disperse and the coral re-establish itself. In the weeks that followed, I snorkelled at my old haunts from Mornington to Black Rock. Everywhere I saw sickly green algae crowding out temperate corals and other life. The phenomenon is well known to biologists who study
partially or completely enclosed waterways. It’s called eutrophication, and it’s caused by an excess run-off of nitrogen and phosphorus. Port Phillip is huge – it covers almost 2000 square kilometres – so it takes time for eutrophication to be felt. But it also takes a very long time to flush out pollutants, because only one per cent of Port Phillip’s water is exchanged with the ocean each year. If nothing is done, the nutrients will build up until a vast algal bloom is triggered. A toxic Port Phillip – its waters green with algae and covered in dead fish, its shores piled with stinking vegetation and animal life – will be the result. The truth is that Melbourne is slowly strangling Port Phillip. Year by year the suburbs creep further south alongside its waters, and the infrastructure builds up, with more hard surfaces and less greenery to let stormwater soak into the soil. So each storm carries ever-more dog poo, rotten food, spilt petrol and oil, excess lawn fertiliser and other toxic substances straight into Port Phillip through the 300-odd barrel drains (more than one for each kilometre of shoreline) that act like open sores on virtually every Melbourne beach. Some of the nation’s most expensive real estate fronts Cowderoy St, St Kilda West. But the Cowderoy St drain looks like it emanates from the slums of Mumbai, rather than an affluent Australian city. I volunteered to clean the shore around it by picking up plastic bags and other hard rubbish, but I nearly choked on the stench as I waded through the sickly, grey, sewage-like sludge that filled the drain, pushing aside the dead birds and toxic scum as I went, and soon gave up. I’ve asked environmentalists why Melburnians tolerate the filth. Some say Port Phillip is so industrialised it’s beyond hope; others say it’s only used on a few summer days each
year, so nobody cares. I’m shocked to hear it, having returned from Sydney, where residents would lay down their lives for the harbour. Thirty years ago Sydney Harbour was as polluted as Port Phillip is now, but hard work and pride have restored it. So what does Port Phillip need? Some work has already been done. The Yarra River is cleaner than it was 30 years ago, the banks of the Merri Creek have been magnificently restored, and the Elwood Canal no longer stinks enough to make you gag. But those odious barrel drains continue to discharge their slow poison. They need reed beds to catch and soak up the toxins. In most places there’s more than enough flat land to do this. The Andrews state government, elected last year, has pledged to get rid of the 50 worst level crossings in the state. What about cleaning up Port Phillip’s 50 worst barrel drains? But the problems go beyond the drains. Flathead are the staple of Port Phillip fishers. When I was a kid, anyone could catch 30 or 40 “flatties”, all more than 30 centimetres long, in a day. The species has declined by 80 per cent since the 1970s. In those days, it took a male flathead seven years to grow to the legal take size of 27 centimetres. Today it takes up to 13 years. Many have pointed to dredging as a cause, but the decline predates dredging. Another suspect is the drought of the late 1990s and early 2000s. More important might be the reduction of the ghost mud shrimp, the sand flathead’s food source. In the ’70s it was present on muddy bottoms in astronomical numbers. Today it’s totally absent from many areas. Surely overfishing isn’t helping. Port Phillip desperately needs more marine reserve areas. Those that exist are pitifully small, their margins thronged with fishers eager to take anything that wanders
outside their bounds. Port Phillip’s margins have also been battered by inappropriate development. Even the Beaumaris fossil bed has been partially destroyed to make a car park for motorboat users. In Sydney, great swathes of harbour-side natural vegetation have been reserved, inappropriate infrastructure removed, and commercial fishing banned. As a result, fish stocks have recovered spectacularly. Enormous kingfish, bream and other species are now a common sight in Sydney Harbour. Even southern right whales have returned. When I moved to Sydney such things were unimaginable. Sydney Harbour and Port Phillip were pretty much equally blighted. But the people of Sydney have cared enough to make a difference. Surely Melburnians can, over time, do an equally good job with their waterway? The Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority has done much good. A powerful Port Phillip authority, properly funded and accountable, could deliver the strategic vision required, and the means of delivering it. It also needs a much beefed-up research effort – perhaps a Port Phillip Institute of Marine Sciences. Research might show that seaweed farms could soak up the excess nutrient now poisoning the waterway. We might even be able to reintroduce now-vanished species. An old resident at Black Rock once told me that he used to dive for crayfish there as a child, on the rocky reefs. Imagine that: crayfish in Port Phillip. Dr Tim Flannery is a scientist and writer.

LETTERS Education answer With all the conjecture in the media about family violence it is necessary to understand a few basics to have a fair perspective. First and foremost, it is never OK for a male to hit a female. There are nine types of domestic violence and these include verbal, social, psychological and financial being the kind most often perpetrated on men. Men are being portrayed in some brochures as all potentially violent and, of course, this is manifestly unfair. The One in Three Campaign – Family Violence - Australia says No! claims more than 30 per cent of domestic violence is towards men and the Australian version of The Guardian says 40 per cent. Then we have to factor in the male suicide rate is 60 per cent greater than the road toll. Intervention orders are issued at the rate of more than 1000 a week, which can be interpreted both ways. Education of young people must be mandatory through high school. Collaboration between people with sufficient emotional maturity to make equitable decisions and management
of those violent dysfunctional people who are perpetrators will all be looked at by the Family Violence Commission currently underway. Tony Nicholl, Mt Eliza, facilitator Dads in Distress
Three word slogans Prime Minister Tony Abbott is back with his three word slogans about boats and terror. It seems every time his government gets found out about doing the wrong thing (paying people smugglers or curtailing Australians’ freedom with regressive security laws), they treat us like mushrooms and keep us in the dark about things we have every right to be informed about. Tony Abbott's mantra of “we do what is in the interest of security of Australia at any cost”, is wearing thin with me. This behaviour is reminiscent of many authoritarian regimes around the world and can only lead to justifiable disquiet of people who are real democrats. It will lead to the radicalisation of many groups in our society who cannot seem to get a voice in the discussion about our future of how our society will be shaped.
The example of [Speaker of the House of Representatives] Bronwyn Bishop attacking [Human Rights Commission president] Gillian Triggs on [ABC TV’s] Q&A last week for just doing her job, shows us how narrow minded this government has become. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Drivers at fault Reading the article about the intersection of Robinsons Rd and Westernport Highway intersection (“No more deaths: petition plea”, The News 16/6/15) I was simply bemused by the childish attitude of people blaming the intersection for all the accidents. I am sorry to say it is not the fault of the intersection but the inattention of the drivers, for example, being too busy with their phones and lack of attention to the road. That intersection has been there for years. Come on people, stop with the silly excuses and learn how to drive and concentrate on the road. I just cannot believe how people are quick to blame anything but themselves. George Jonker, Hastings
Light relief
Highway robbery
The lights at Frankston-Dandenong and Seaford and Ballarto roads, Seaford, have recently been reprogrammed and are far more dangerous for walkers than before for the entire length of both the “walk” and the flashing “don't walk” periods. Drivers pass very close and at high speed to walkers when making turns and seem to feel no need to give way to walkers or to not pass them so closely. Drivers making U turns are especially dangerous and unpredictable. These lights need to be returned to their old program. Arthur Hawley, Seaford
POLICE are appealing for help from the public after an armed robbery at a service station in Mornington on Sunday 7 June. Frankston Embona Task Force detectives have been told a man brandishing a knife entered the service station on Moorooduc Highway just after 9pm. He approached the lone male attendant and demanded the contents of the till before taking cash. The man then ran from the store. He is described as Caucasian, about 40 years old, 183cm tall and with a medium build. He was wearing a black hoodie top, black beanie and had a black scarf covering his face. He also wore a black glove with white motif on his right hand only, faded blue jeans which had a darker blue hem at the top of each back pocket and black leather shoes. Detectives have released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to in relation to the incident. They are keen to speak to a customer who attended the store immediately before the offender to buy an 8.5kg gas bottle. Anyone with information about the incident can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
Puzzling interest I, from afar, am still puzzling over Cr Andrew Dixon’s recent letter (“thanks for advice”, Letters, The News 2/6/15). Yes, he does need somebody to point out how interest works and thankfully David Harrison and John Cain have given him an elementary lesson that I hope, beyond hope, he can grasp. I am still trying to figure out how this relates to a million dollar house. Joe Lenzo, Safety beach

Agent leads charge to top REAL estate agent Nicholas Lynch (pictured) last year paid 200 clients and associates to run or walk to the top of Arthurs Seat. Mr Lynch’s company is one of the Arthurs Seat Challenge sponsors and said paying the entry fees was a way of encouraging participation in the event which raises money for the Fit 2 Drive schools’ program. This year’s challenge is on Sunday 8 November and organisers predict about 2000 people will walk or run to the summit from Rosebud pier. “It’s a fantastic event and cause and we thought paying for the applicants was a way of encouraging people to give it a go,” Mr Lynch said. “We hope the participants
Unisex loos open NEW toilets at Mothers Beach in Mornington opened two weeks ago although some minor work is still to be completed as well as landscaping. The $450,000 facility has five unisex and disabled-access cubicles, one unisex “ambulant” cubicle, three urinals, external rinse-off showers, and drinking fountains. The loo is one of the first built since Mornington Peninsula Shire adopted its “toilet strategy”. One complaint already made is that the room with the three urinals is labelled “male toilet”, leading some to think it contains a single toilet bowl only.
enjoyed it so much last year that they will enter again this year.” The annual 6.7km Arthurs Seat Challenge started in 2002, promoting and rasing money to run the Fit to Drive program. “It is a fantastic event, a great teambuilding activity, and a worthy cause as road trauma affects everybody,” Mr Lynch, himself a keen runner, said. “We all have loved ones on the road, so this cause touches every single one of us. Teaching road safety and educating our young drivers is a priority.” The Arthurs Seat Challenge is on Sunday 8 November. Details: www.arthursseatchallenge.com.au
Adding a name to sustain an image THE self-described “sustainable” Mornington Peninsula Shire has a neighbour that’s now officially known as the “sustainable city” – Frankston. While the peninsula gave itself the title of sustainable, Frankston has been named Sustainable City of the Year by Keep Australia Beautiful Victoria. Frankston earned its right to use sustainable through its 10-year plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2025. Frankston has also pipped the peninsula on naming rights with the September 2014 opening of its $50 million Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre built close to the city’ central commercial area. The shire has dropped its plans for a $44m Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the foreshore at Rosebud,
but remains committed, on paper at least, to a pool being built as part of the redevelopment of the Rosebud Central Shopping centre, which it bought in 2012. Meanwhile, the peninsula’s latest crop of councillors (and a new CEO) last year voted to strip the shire of its sustainable tag, although the cost of replacing existing signs, stationary and vehicle liveries was seen as too expensive to replace overnight. “Committed to a Sustainable Peninsula” remains ubiquitous throughout the shire and its website. Peninsula residents are this month invited to “drop-in information sessions” to “have a say about Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s carbon neutral options report and the Sustainable Peninsula symbol associated with the shire logo”.
They can also save fuel and time by completing an online survey by 7 July on the shire’s website www.mornpen. vic.gov.au under the YourSay tab. The peninsula’s carbon neutral report lists ways of achieving carbon neutrality “to ensure council and its community reduces risks associated with climate change, lowers energy costs, and minimises impacts of shire activities”. A council news releases says the
move towards carbon neutrality “is an opportune time to review the Sustainable Peninsula symbol associated with the shire logo, and how it could be amended or removed to better reflect council’s future direction”. Unusually for the shire, no councillor, or officer was quoted in the release. “The Sustainable Peninsula symbol was added to the shire’s logo in 2001 and reflects the social, environmental and economic elements of sustainabil-

Resort tops lighthouse in image warfare Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au
Upsized: The historic Cape Schanck lighthouse, built in 1859 and 21 metres high (69ft) was the tallest structure on the peninsula for many years but will be dwarfed by its precinct neighbour, the proposed RACV resort, as shown in this digitally altered image. Picture: Friends of Cape Schanck
baulking at voting on the resort, and also criticised the council for dumping its planning committee in favour of bringing important planning matters to full council meetings. “The nonsense at council over the past few weeks is only helping them avoid their responsibility to vote,” he told one objector. “I will be finalising my letter to both the Planning Minister and the Local Government Minister ... to express my deep concern at what can only be described as ‘amateur hour’ by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.” The News understands that Mr Dixon, under pressure from objectors, suggested to the RACV that it lower the resort by setting about 3.5 metres into the ground but this was rejected.
Objectors also have lobbied the state Opposition’s planning and local government spokesman David Davis, who has been showing an increased interest in peninsula affairs in recent months. Ian Renwick of Friends of Cape Schanck, one of several groups in a loose alliance opposing the project, said Mornington Peninsula Shire had asked the RACV to “erect height poles to provide residents and councillors with a clear indication of the scale of the proposed building to assist in their planning approval process” but the RACV said this was too complicated. “The RACV and its consultants Tract tried to show the height with blue party balloons one midweek afternoon but couldn’t get them high enough due to the wind,” he said.
“So we were left to think of other ways to try and comprehend what the RACV has planned, and came up with the photo montage. The lighthouse is 21 metres high compared to the proposed redevelopment at 31 metres.” Objectors have taken to calling the proposed resort the “mothership” or “Ayers Rock”, and it is the bulk of the building that has upset many people. Many locals supported the concept initially but then saw plans for the huge building and changed their minds. Mr Renwick said the top of the proposed resort would be 45 metres higher than the lighthouse, and would be seen from far out to sea. “Perhaps the RACV’s resorts at Torquay and Cape Schanck can signal each other,” he said with tongue in cheek.
He said some objectors were concerned the RACV would repeat the tactics used at Torquay where the organisation won council approval for four storeys but then went to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in 2010 and won approval for a fifth storey, taking the building on golf club land from 16 to 19.6 metres high. At Cape Schanck, the RACV is allowed to erect a 160-room resort but has said it will build a 120-room complex. As of Friday, 154 people had completed the survey, with 93 per cent (143) not supporting the proposal. About 42 per cent described themselves as nonCape Schanck residents, 40 per cent as permanent and 12 per cent part-timers. www.surveymonkey.com/s/ TT62L3H

OPPONENTS of the RACV’s proposed $135 million resort at Cape Schanck are using image warfare and the internet to win converts and keep pressure on decision-makers. The latest tactic is an internet survey that allows comments both for and against the controversial development that will rise five storeys – almost 30 metres – and accommodate 650 conference delegates, up from the existing 250 limit. A pamphlet promoting the six-question survey includes an arresting image of the proposed resort dwarfing Cape Schanck’s iconic lighthouse. The new anti-resort push comes as the issue gained complexity following an abandoned meeting of Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors last month. Councillors had been set to approve the resort mid-May but got cold feet over potential conflict of interest as most of the 11 councillors are members of the RACV (“Conflict call puts brakes on resort”, The News, 26/5/15). The shire asked Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins to rule on the potential conflict and The News understands a report was due on 5 June but a decision had not been made by last Friday. The resort application was on the council agenda of 22 June but was withdrawn and is likely to be debated at a council meeting in July, assuming the conflict matter is resolved. Objectors have been lobbying Nepean state MP Martin Dixon, who last month was critical of councillors for

Western Port’s ‘ex-parrot’ hit by disease Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE orange-bellied parrot wild population has been hit by a disease that can kill young birds or adults with weak immune systems. Two-thirds of 30 birds born in the wild last summer in Tasmania have been diagnosed with common beak and feather disease, also known as Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease. This is the parrot that once graced the saltmarsh shores of Western Port and became famous as a political football when its endangered status was blamed for delaying a wind farm in Gippsland in 2006 and the proposed marina expansion at Yaringa boat harbour near Somerville in 2012. The OBP is of only three parrot species worldwide that migrates. They spend their winters in Victoria and South Australia before flying to Melaleuca in Tasmania’s remote southwest wilderness to breed. The disease, called bird AIDS by some reseachers, causes beaks and feathers to become malformed. Birds end up with shortened, stubby feathers so can’t fly, and malformed beaks so they can’t eat properly. ABC radio reported last week: “A deadly disease is infecting the nestling population of one of the world’s most critically endangered birds – the orange-bellied parrot. Nineteen of the estimated 30 birds that were born in Tasmania last summer tested have positive to beak and feather disease.” It’s thought that there are fewer

than 50 birds in the wild but a captive breeding program started about 30 years ago means there are about 320 birds in special facilities at Healesville Sanctuary, Adelaide Zoo, a state government centre near Hobart, Halls Gap, a private centre in the ACT, and Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale, where the birds are kept just 500 metres from saltmarsh on the edge of Western Port where they used to live in the wild. The first Moonlit birds were released into the wild in Tasmania last year. The parrot has not been seen in the wild at Western Port since 1987. This prompted now environment minister Greg Hunt to exclaim in early 2012 when asked about the parrot delaying the Yaringa marina expansion: “There is no parrot, there hasn’t been a parrot for five years, for 10 years, for 15, for 20, or even for a quarter of a century. “It is ludicrous that a major project,
which will create hundreds of local jobs, has been put on hold because one day an orange-bellied parrot may decide to fly over the area, even though they have not been seen in this location for a quarter of a century.” Mr Hunt’s outburst reminded many people of Monty Python’s famous and hilarious “Dead Parrot Sketch”. This is where John Cleese as an unhappy customer and Michael Palin as a pet shop owner argue over the state of a Norwegian Blue parrot that Cleese has just bought. Cleese is enraged when Palin says the parrot is just resting. Cleese: ’E’s not pinin’! ’E’s passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! ’E’s expired and gone to meet ’is maker! ’E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ’e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed ’im to the perch ’e’d be pushing up the daisies! ’Is metabolic processes are now ’istory!

I’ll also be talking to BirdLife Australia, the department, my advisers, and the Tasmanian government so that we can design the best approach to tackling this problem.” Michael Johnson of Moonlit Sanctuary, which has had an OBP breeding program for two seasons, said birds with strong immune systems were able to shrug off the disease. “Numbers are better than a few years ago when it was thought that only 36 wild birds remained,” he said. “Two years ago there were 50 and last year 70.” He said the parrots’ winter range was between Inverloch and the Coorong in South Australia. Moonlit has five aviaries for its OBPs, which cost about $12,000 and were paid for by a philanthropic grant. It is hoping to build 10 more and eventually have 30. “We had six chicks fledge [fly] in season 2014-15 with one of our females producing five of the six chicks,” he said. The sanctuary on TyabbTooradin Rd looks after six rare species. It is becoming increasingly popular with overseas visitors to Melbourne. The Yaringa marina project is before an independent planning panel, which is holding a hearing in Hastings this month.

’E’s off the twig! ’E’s kicked the bucket, ’e’s shuffled off ’is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT! Environment minister Hunt has ordered his Threatened Species Commissioner Gregory Andrews to prepare an “urgent strategic response” to deal with the disease. Mr Andrews reportedly said the wild population was infected despite the best efforts of the Tasmanian government, wildlife managers and volunteer groups. “It’s a risk for the parrot because of [its] very low numbers, but also because the parrot is dependent on human management, feed tables, captive breeding programs, and that puts it at greater risk,” he said. Mr Andrews said the captive breeding population had not been affected by the outbreak. He told the ABC that “the bird has had very low reproductive success for many years, and beak and feather disease could be one of the causes of that low reproductive success. So there is actually ... a silver lining in every cloud, and with this advice, we now have greater clarity on why the birds’ reproduction rate has been so low”. “We have some of the best scientists in Australia, and as part of the urgent strategic response that minister Hunt’s asked me to initiate, I’ll be talking to the National Environmental Science Program leaders, which is a $30 million investment program for threatened species’ science.

CASCADING over three extravagant levels, this beachside masterpiece in the making is set on a 1061 square metre block with dual access, and is a fine piece of art just awaiting the final brush strokes. Drawing inspiration from its name, this home is a little bit tiger and a little bit shark, but with suitable skills and a minimum of time, it will be easily tamed to have its place amongst the finest homes on the peninsula. Grand sunsets can be witnessed from the spa ensuite, the main bedroom and indeed, from most rooms
in the house, while a staggering six balconies that frame the incredible outlook will also do the view justice. Crafted around a magnificent circular void and bespoke staircase, the original home is now the lounge room with a cosy wood heater and French doors leading to an alfresco dining deck. A dining area sits beneath this soaring void for dramatic impact. The luxurious kitchen features a magnificent Caesarstone island bench with Ilve kitchen appliances and a feature mirrored splashback, with the family meals
zone surrounded by walls of sliding glass doors that open to one of the six balconies. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms include the superb glass-framed main bedroom with balcony, an exquisite ensuite with double shower and relaxing spa bath, plus a fabulous dressing room. A fourth bathroom awaits completion by the new owner. There is a separate study and the large laundry has a sewing room. A return driveway fronts Hearn Road and leads to a double garage with internal access, and a tandem carport.

***
THE annual meeting of the Frankston
Tennis Club will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute on this (Saturday) evening, when the report and balance sheet for the past year will be presented and the election of officers for the ensuing year will be held. *** MISS Bedcock, of ‘The Wattles,’ Frankston, wishes it to be known that she has commenced business as a dressmaker, and is prepared to execute any work entrusted to her in the best and latest styles. Orders may be left with Miss Bunney, of Bay Street,
Frankston. *** THE sale of gifts in connection with the Frankston Christian Endeavour Society in aid of the Missionary Students in New Guinea, will be opened this afternoon by Mrs Jackson at 3 o’clock, and be continued during the afternoon and evening. *** THE annual meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Horticultural and Agricultural Association will be held on Monday evening at 8 o’clock in the Mechanics’ Institute, when the following business will be gone through:— Election of officers, report and balance sheet, and report of Ladies’ Guild.

The contractors have lost no time in commencing the work, and are at present engaged in excavating the foundations. *** WE have been requested to bring under the notice of our readers the following rate charged for postage to the forces in Egypt:—Articles (such as socks, etc) for members of the Australian and New Zealand Expeditionary forces in Egypt are only accepted at letter rates (1d per ½oz) or special parcels post-rate namely, up to 3 lbs 1s over 3 lbs and up to 7 lbs 2s over 7 lbs and up to 11 lbs 3s.
*** THE committee of the Frankston Football Club, in order to clear off the debt at present existing, intend holding a concert and dance in the Mechanics’ Hall, on Thursday evening next, and as the price for admission is only one shilling it is to be hoped that all lovers of the game will put in an appearance and assist the club to wipe out its deficiency and at the same time enjoy a pleasant evening’s entertainment. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold an extensive clearing sale at Mornington Junction on Wednesday next, on account of Mr W.M. M’carthur, commencing at 11 o’clock sharp, of his valuable orchard and farm property, consisting of 42 acres on which is erected an up-to date 10 roomed villa and all necessary out buildings also the whole of his household furniture and effects, vehicles, implements, and live stock. *** T. R. B. Morton and Son will sell at their rooms, 72 Swanston Street, Melbourne, on Thursday next on account of Mr R. K. Ingham, his well known and highly improved agricultural, grazing and fruitgrowing farm, comprising 352 acres, situated about three miles from Bittern railway station, on which is erected a superior 7 roomed W. B. villa, with extensive and complete farm buildings. The property is divided into 13 paddocks, and enclosed with vermin proof fence. ***
MR John Watson notifies in our advertising column that he intends to contest the seat in the East Riding of the Shire of Flinders at the forthcoming municipal elections. Mr Watson is a gentleman who has had a large experience in municipal work, having filled the office of councilor in the city of Prahran, also as correspondent to the Board of Advice and committee man of the Workman’s Institute of the same city. Mr Watson asks the support of those who are in favor of progress and the improvement of our roads. *** THE President of the Shire (Cr W. J Oates) on Thursday received a telegram from the State Parliamentary Recruiting Committee requesting him to organize a local recruiting committee without delay. Cr Oates has lost no time in the matter and we call attention to an advertisement in another column calling a public meeting to devise measures to attain the object in view, on Monday evening, June 28th. It is to be hoped that there will be a large attendance to support the President and that every one who can possibly attend will do so. *** THE newly appointed Committee of the Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society quickly got to work and held its first meeting on Saturday last. Mrs Maxwell was appointed President, Mrs Dean and Mrs Jackson vice-Presidents; Mrs H. McComb, treasurer; and Mrs G. A. Kitchen,
secretary, assisted by Miss Watson, the committee increased its number to eight, and appointed Mrs Walsh as the new member. The committee is in urgent need of funds to buy material for distribution, and an extended collection of subscriptions is being organised. To raise money, and to stimulate interest in the movement, an “At Home” is being given on Wednesday week July 7th, at 3 p.m, in the Mechanics’ Hall, by some of the girls of Frankston, organised by Miss Watson. Lady Madden, who has recently returned from England, has kindly consented to be present, and to speak of her experiences of the need and value of Red Cross work. There will be a short musical programme and afternoon tea. This will be a splendid opportunity for all those who have been wanting to do something for our brave defenders they can hear what is most needed and they can take home material to work or knit. *** MESSRS Alex.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The great public holiday fiasco By Stuart McCullough THIS madness must end. Once upon a time, public holidays meant something. Now they’re being handed out with all the sense of occasion and grandeur as third prize in a pub-raffle. Why, just the other week, we were forced to sit at home to wait out another one of these time-wasters. Don’t get me wrong; I like Bohemian Rhapsody as much as the next person, but telling everyone they can take the day off work to commemorate it seems a trifle over the top. It’s a question that demands an answer: why does Queen get a public holiday when other equally worthy musical acts go without? Surely Fleetwood Mac deserves a long weekend. The Beatles merit the better part of a week. And if Lady Gaga isn’t enough to let you go home early at least once a year, there’s simply no justice in this crazy mixed up world. Forget gold and platinum records; a day in your honour is where it’s at. Perhaps I’m hoping for too much. Granted, with ‘Grand Final Eve’ the bar for a public holiday has been set so low that almost anyone and anything can now fall over it; and if we can have a day off to celebrate something that’s not happened yet, we surely deserve some reprieve to let us kick out the jams. But if the powers that be aren’t musically inclined, then the least we can do is combine existing public holidays with great musical acts. That way, we can kill two birds with one Rolling Stone (metaphorically speaking, of course). If anyone needs a day off, it’s The
PAGE 46
Beach Boys. Perhaps we can lump them in with Easter and celebrate Good Vibrations Friday? Or perhaps cast a light on a forgotten artist of yesteryear like Barry McGuire? Just the very notion of New Year’s Eve of Destruction seems oddly appropriate. Personally, I’d like for us all to put
Mornington News 23 June 2015
our feet up and duff the lid of our collective cap to poodle-headed one-hit wonders of the eighties, Europe, by observing Grand Final Countdown Eve. Truth be told, maybe the reason I react so strongly against the Queen’s Birthday is that I don’t own any of
their albums. Not a one. Not in any format. You could scour my CDs, vinyl albums and cassettes all you wish and you won’t find anything by Freddy, Brian or the other two. The only version of ‘A Night At the Opera’ I own is by the Marx Brothers. When push comes to shove, I barely know any of their lyrics save for the bit that goes ‘Galileo’ in the alternating Mr. Gasbo / Emperor from ‘Return of the Jedi’ voices. Perhaps the real problem is that I feel guilty for taking the day at all. That said, we’re all a little bit to blame. Nobody talks about the absurdity of the Queen’s Birthday for fear that if we do, someone might just agree with us and take it away. That, frankly, is the wrong approach. Instead, we should be turning our minds to alternative days. Because the real reason people want to observe the Queen’s Birthday is to fill the vacuum that otherwise exists between Easter and Melbourne Cup Day. (I’m ignoring Grand Final Eve. You should too.) There are plenty of alternatives. Previously, I’ve suggested that we swap the Queen’s Birthday for Bloomsday on 16 June. That’s the day that celebrates James Joyce’s Ulysses. Before you snigger at the idea of having a day off for a book, I’ll simply say that Ulysses beats the Melbourne Cup hands down every day of the week and twice on the first Tuesday in November in terms of significance. I also proposed June 6 as ‘Convoy Day’, to celebrate the day on which a group of errant truckers decided to drive across America in C.W. McCall’s country-
pop masterpiece. But there are other options, too. July 1st has to be a contender. There’s no doubt that it’s a magical time of year. Autumn has bid its farewell. The days are getting ever shorter. And accountants everywhere are getting excited at the prospect of closing out another financial year. In fact, there’s nothing our family likes to do more than to head to our nearest major department store to gaze in wonder at the seasonal window display celebrating the start of the taxation season. This year’s theme is deductions. If we have time, we might even get our photo taken with the head of the ATO, perched on his knee while we list all the things we want from the coming financial year. Perhaps the thing that really gets my goat is giving all that attention to an overseas band rather than one from Australia. At this point, we shouldn’t need to suck up to a group from Britain just to get the day off. Next year, the Government should gazette Ted Mulry Appreciation Day instead. ‘AC/ DC Day’ feels strangely right. (Imagine the greeting card. You’d open it and be greeted with a tinny version of ‘Hell’s Bells’ or ‘The Jack’.) The Edinburgh Rose Tattoo is as good a reason for a backyard barbecue as you’re ever going to get. Or maybe we should be more discerning. It’s odd that some public holidays are days of great national significance and others seem to be the result of a clerical error. But what do I know? Now excuse me, I’ve got some music to listen to. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Yabbies cop another hiding NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt TYABB lost its second game in successive weeks by more than 200 points on Saturday in Nepean League, this time at the hands of Rye. The Yabbies booted one goal in the opening quarter and were restricted to just two behinds for the remainder of the match. Hastings too booted 38 goals last week against Tyabb and won by more than 200 points. This week Rye booted 18 goals in the opening half and 20 majors in the second hour to record a 38.20 (248) to 1.2 (8) win. The recent plight of Tyabb FC has been well documented and further highlights the incredible need for the governing body to put structures in place to ensure their long-term viability. As a club, Tyabb is united. It is working tirelessly but copping 200-point thrashings can be taxing. The Demons had 12 goal kickers on Saturday. Dean Millhouse and Adrian Gileno booted seven each, Andrew Dean kicked half a dozen and Ryan Mullett was the best player on the ground with five. Rye premiership coach Steve Ryan played seniors too and finished with two majors. Chris Samways and Adrian Clay worked tirelessly for the Yabbies.
Red Hill returned to the winners list against Devon Meadows after three weeks of misery. The Hillmen had lost their past three games and trailed the Meadows by three points at quarter time. The home side recovered to boot 10 goals to one after the first change to run out 11.14 (80) to 3.4 (22) winners. Jake Mold booted three goals and was impressive while Marcus Dal Lago and Blake McCormack were outstanding. Taz Douglas and Clint Walker were the best of the Meadows, along with Jess Dehey and Steve McInnes. Rosebud continued its march, this time thumping Pearcedale to the tune of almost 11 goals. The Buds set-up the win with a seven goal to two first quarter. They went on to win 18.15 (123) to 8.10 (58). Tom Baker booted five majors and Lachy Armstrong three while Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley dominated. Dylan Hoare and Ben Mitchell were the best of the Dales. Sorrento’s Tyrren Head continued his outstanding season on Saturday with a best afield five goals in his sides 17.9 (111) to 8.10 (58) win against Frankston. Leigh Poholke kicked three goals also for the winners while James Brigden and Troy Schwarze also saw a heap of the footy. Matt Harris and Jason Curry were the best of the Bombers.
Somerville was at its brilliant best on Saturday, booting eight goals to zip in the first quarter against Dromana and winning by 13 goals, 22.15 (147) to 10.8 (68). Rohan Hogenbirk and Jedd Sutton finished with three goals each for the Eagles while a further ten players contributed on the scoreboard. Timmy McGennis was superb once against for the Eagles, dominating through the middle of the ground, racking up possessions and finishing with a couple of goals. Justin Farrelly proved once again why he is one of the best big men in the game and Billy Rolfe played his best game for the season. It was a tough day at the office for the Tigers, although Christian Ongarello and Daniel Guerts worked hard. Hastings and Crib Point is usually a tough contest but it was very one-sided on Saturday, the Blues dominating and winning 22.19 (151) to 6.6 (42). Crib Point booted three goals to Hastings’ four in the opening quarter but was only able to kick three more majors for the match, compared to Hastings’ 18 majors. Taylor Stratton booted five goals in a best afield performance for the Blues while Luke Clark finished with four. Shaun Foster and Paul Rogasch were outstanding. Brad Arnold and Dean Karies were the best of the Magpies.

This is the end: Pines saw off Chelsea to effectively finish the latter’s season in the Peninsula League despite a spectacular mark for the Gulls, above. Pictures: Gary Bradshaw
Edwards dominates Gulls in big win PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt FORMER West Coast Eagle, North Melbourne and Richmond forward Aaron Edwards played one of the most impressive games in Peninsula League memory on Saturday as Pines ended Chelsea’s season. Edwards had close to 40 possessions, took more than 15 marks, booted seven goals and was clearly head and shoulders above any other player on the ground in the Pythons’ 18.9 (117) to 8.17 (65) win over Chelsea. Edwards, who was the last player to kick 100 goals in the VFL at Frankston Dolphins before he was drafted to the Eagles, had as many possessions in the back half of the ground as he did in the offensive half – still, he finished with seven majors, four of which came in the last quarter. His fitness levels, aerial skills, willingness to work and appetite for the contest were clearly evident. Aaron was that good at Eric Bell Reserve that he made it look like he was
an 18-year-old playing under 11 footy. He was that dominant. He did have plenty of support from his team mates however, especially young ruckman Taylor Strachan, who was superb in the middle and around the ground. His significant performance allowed Guy and Beau Hendry to maintain Pines’ structures of staying at centre half back and centre half forward. Luke Holdcroft was also sensational for Pines, shutting down the dangerous Todd Gardiner. Gardiner has been in superb form for the Gulls this season but was lucky to get half a dozen touches on Saturday, such was the blanket role that Holdcroft played. Holdcroft did the same job on Mt Eliza’s Ben Landry the week before. Callum Gray was a youngster released from Frankston Dolphins and he showed a clean pair of heels while Chris Guganovic booted a goal in his 175th match, a milestone which gives him life membership of the club. Through the middle of the ground at
the contests, Billy Humphrey was in and under and has a body that can take the hits, while Brendan Cowell is in the same boat. Hudson Thomas was Chelsea’s best player, despite not being named in their best players. He was the only Gull to work hard over four quarters. Brad Clark was extremely good too, while young Matt Silva and Jason Clark, along with Jackson Arthur in the ruck were clearly their best four, along with Thomas. Chelsea trailed by six points at half time after ending a string of behinds (eight points in a row) with three goals in four minutes to end the quarter. However, the Gulls didn’t come out to play in the second half. Pines improved their skill execution and snagged 12 goals to four in the second half. Bonbeach kept its finals hopes well and truly alive, leading for most of the afternoon to beat an injury-riddled Mornington. After copping an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Frankston YCW
last week, the Sharks got their noses in front in the match against the Dogs and went on to record a 12.15 (87) to 11.11 (77) victory. Mornington coach Chris Holcombe said on The RPP Footy Show before the match that he was missing eight of his best 21 players from the side. However, the Dogs were still able to beat Langwarrin last week with a similar list. Jackson Casey was at his best for the Sharks with three goals while Dylan Jones had the better of Michael Gay in the ruck. Adam Symes played forward again for the Dogs and finished with six majors. Langwarrin beat Karingal 14.14 (98) to 3.3 (21) as expected. The Bulls had numbers behind the footy from the outset and the Kangas were forced to navigate their way through. Shane Paterson and Scott Sienkiewicz (three goals) were outstanding for the Kangas while Blake Harkness continues his run of dominant perform.
Grant Goodall and Aaron Lees were the best of the Bulls, as was other leaders Luke Van Raay and Grant Paxton. Frankston YCW made it two big wins in successive weeks with an 18.19 (127) to 4.6 (30) win against Seaford. Dromana recruits Paul Minchington and Anthony Bruhn booted five and four goals respectively while Kyle Hutchison and Scott Macleod dominated. Aaron Walton booted two for the Tigers and Matt Herbert and Nick Braund collected the top votes. Mt Eliza bounced back from its loss to Pines last week to lead all afternoon to beat Edithvale-Aspendale. The Redlegs led for the majority of the afternoon, kicking six goals to three after the main change to win 12.21 (93) to 7.9 (51). Scott Lockwood booted four majors and Justin Van Unen three while Karl Lombardozzi and Ben Landry were dominant. Mark Mullins and Brad Tagg were the best of the Eagles.

Usage – Who is using the space and how?

“Granite Transformations enabled renovators like me, to revamp my kitchen and bathroom by working with the existing surfaces and cabinets, for a proportion of the cost of a complete demolition and rebuild. It’s been fantastic working with the team at Granite Transformations and incorporating their quality products and surfaces in this design space and I am excited to reveal the results,â€? Shaynna says. Whether you are working with a modest budget or LQYHVWLQJ VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ 6KD\QQD KDV WKH following fundamental tips to consider when renovating: Small budget, HUGE inspiration! Collect everything and anything that inspires you, and create your own lookbook or mood board to capture it all. “In the kitchen I was inspired by the heritage of the 1880 building while still making if feel and work as a kitchen of the 21st century. Whereas the bathroom was complete fantasy, taking reference of an era of the pomp and ceremony of times of Versailles,â€? says Shaynna.
