Million dollar day stands alone SATURDAY’S William Hill Mornington Cup day looms as an historic one for racing on the Mornington Peninsula. For the first time in the Cup’s 95-year history, the event will be held on a Saturday, having recently been granted ‘standalone’ status, meaning Mornington is the focal point of racing in Victoria, and its millions of customers throughout Australia, in its busiest timeslot. The elevation from its customary midweek, mid-February position to standalone Saturday status signifies the recognition on the part of Victorian racing’s powers-that-be of the quality of the meeting, the third Mornington Cup card to offer $1 million or more in prize money. Contestants in the day’s feature race, the Listed William Hill Mornington Cup, will once again be racing for a share in $350,000, as well as a guaranteed start in October’s BMW Caulfield Cup, should winning connections exercise that option. With such a bounty at stake, the 2400-metre contest is widely regarded as the most important on the national racing calendar to be held outside a metropolitan area. Accordingly, a high quality field of stayers from right across Australia is expected to greet the starter. The undercard has also been bolstered for the 2015 edition, with two feature races added to an already excellent program, in the form of the Mornington Guineas and Mornington Sires’. Each to be run over 1500 metres and carrying a lofty $100,000 purse, the Guineas is a contest for three-year-old colts, geldings and fillies, while the Sires’ will decide the best juvenile (two-year-old) of the day. Another addition to the Mornington Cup day
schedule is the $50,000 MackTow Marathon Series Heat 2 which, over 3400-metres, forms part of a series of races conjured by the Melbourne Racing Club in 2014 to foster the state’s rising staying talent. These new races complement the existing program, consisting of the $120,000 Listed Hareeba Stakes (1200m), which last year unveiled the talent of top sprinter Knoydart, and the Mitavite Challenge Final (1600m). Offering $80,000 in prize money, the Mitavite Final is the culmination of a series of races run throughout February and March. Its winning horse’s trainer will be also benefit nicely from his or her victory: feed and clothing to the value of $5,000 courtesy of Mitavite. On the other side of the fence, Mornington Cup day offers an afternoon of entertainment to match the quality of the racing, including a variety of food and drink options and packages, live music, and the famous Bayside Shopping Centre Fashions on the Field. The event also marks the finale of the ‘Relaxed Racing’ period, a campaign by the Victorian racing industry to encourage racegoers to make the most of sprawling lawns the like that within the grounds of the idyllic setting at Mornington Racecourse. A novel ticket offering at Saturday’s event is the V.I.Picnic, which includes admission for two adults and up to four children, a picnic rug to keep, gourmet hamper and entry into an exclusive site alongside the home straight. With premium racing, food and drink, entertainment and fashion offerings to cater for all tastes, Saturday’s William Hill Mornington Cup has all the hallmarks of a sensational day out.
WILLIAM HILL MORNINGTON CUP DAY SATURDAY 28 MARCH For the first time, Mornington’s biggest race day will be held on a Saturday and we’re celebrating with live music, action-packed racing and the Bayside Shopping Centre Fashions on the Field. Sit back and relax in style with a V.I.Picnic, which includes a gourmet hamper, your own reserved picnic blanket and home straight views of Victoria’s richest country cup.

Wez Hunter – local trainer on the rise PENINSULA blood running through his veins, Wez Hunter will never forget where his passion for the thoroughbred came from. Hunter’s grandfather, an amateur horse trainer, and his father, a longtime racehorse owner, stimulated his interest for racing at an early age. “Mum has photos of me running around in the family racing colours, which we still use today.” Hunter says. Hunter began his schooling at Red Hill Consolidated which neighboured famous nursery Kingston Park Stud, the home of equine legend Kingston Town. “I had a great admiration for Kingston Town and these great champions inspire you to be a part of their lives.” It was at Padua College in his midteens, when Hunter was searching for work experience placement and he was able to access a real racing stable. “I had nowhere to go for school work experience and was advised to see Gabe Noonan, my art teacher and wife of local trainer Tony Noonan,” says Hunter. “I made the transition to riding work for various local stables and then Tony gave me a few pre-trainers to work with.” After breaking his back riding as a 19-year-old, Hunter eventually settled into a full-time role at Tony Noonan Racing. “Tony was tremendous, was happy to hand me responsibility and taught me what it takes to be a horse
trainer,” Hunter recalls. During this period Hunter delved into jockey management, helping gifted young riders Brad Rawiller, Andrew Findlay and Lonaghan Milham. It is no wonder with such broad industry experience behind him, the 34-year-old horseman has hit the ground the running as a trainer. The Mornington Cup is the biggest day on the Peninsula racing calendar and Hunter is in the zone with his hot team, as he prepares for the day’s first standalone Saturday cup fixture. “We were successful last year with Cult Of Isis and always target Mornington Cup Day with our better horses.” Bargain buy Magnus Lad will headline the Hunter charge at a Mornington Cup Day feature, the $120,000 Listed Hareeba Stakes (1200m). “We purchased him out of a paddock in Pearcedale and vets advised he would never make it to the track. He has won $100,000 in this preparation and just loves his racing.” Hunter also eyes the $100,000 Mornington Guineas 3YO (1500m) with stable mate Pepperjack, a close relation to Apache Cat. Pepperjack will carry the colours made famous by the grand sprinter. Hunter values the important role his partner Meredith Tuckett plays in the day-to-day running of his business. While Hunter watches his horses work, it is usually Tuckett who is riding the stable band of horses, while
also looking after the administrative side of the business. “Meredith works very hard, riding about eight a morning, while also doing all the accounts and holding a 9-5 job,” Hunter notes with admiration. A recent move from his base near Mornington Racecourse to the magnificent property Pinecliff in Mount Eliza, Hunter has a great foundation
BLACKOUT
SALE
to grow his business further. “Pinecliff is sensational. We are still close to Mornington to take horses to the track for gallops and mixing that with the beach where horses can rejuvenate and hold their fitness levels is a benefit to my horses.” Hunter cites the access to the superb beaches on the Peninsula and the quality pasture in paddocks as a
huge advantage to training horses in a stunning, south eastern pocket of Victoria. One of the hottest new talents in the Australian training ranks, stocks in Wez Hunter are selling fast so support a local talent and get to Mornington on Cup day to fly the Peninsula flag.

Fair Work to shire: halt layoffs Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE Fair Work Commission has told Mornington Peninsula Shire to negotiate with terminated employees and not layoff any more people. The recommendation was made during a conciliation hearing last Wednesday when two unions took the shire to the commission following the termination of 12 staff on Friday 13 March. New shire CEO Carl Cowie laid off four people prior to 13 March and one after for a total of 17 including two of

the shire’s four directors (“Jobs go in shire shake-up”, The News, 17/3/15). The Australian Services Union and Professionals Australia (APESMA) went to Fair Work to force the shire to comply with its enterprise agreement. Commissioner Nick Wilson stated the shire must negotiate with the 12 staff “in good faith” and that staff could have union representatives at meetings. The shire must also talk with the unions, he stated. The decision halts the layoffs as Mr Cowie attempts to revamp the organisation. This follows a three-month
review after Mr Cowie replaced longtime CEO Michael Kennedy on 1 December. The layoffs have traumatised staff. The News understands some were given less than 30 minutes to pack up and leave, and were escorted out by security guards. ASU has issued a notice to union members: Your new CEO is wreaking havoc on your council and your community. “Council is claiming they [staff] are not entitled to redundancy and is offering them far less than the redundancy payment.”

The union will meet with its members this week at shire offices in Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings. ASU officer Michelle Jackson told The News the restructure must be done in accordance with the shire’s enterprise agreement. “The shire is not offering redundancies and that’s why we went to the commission,” she said. “There has been a blatant disregard of the EBA.” If the matter could not be resolved, the union would take the shire back to the Fair Work Commission or to the Federal Court.
A spokeswoman for Professionals Australia, which is representing two engineers, said it was an “outrageous situation” that the shire was asking employees to sign a deed of release “which would sign away their entitlements”. Laid off staff are entitled to two weeks’ pay for every year of service up to a maximum of 48 weeks (that is, 24 years of service). The shire, mayor Cr Bev Colomb and Mr Cowie refused to answer questions from The News. Continued Page 8

Petition calls on swami to quit HUNDREDS of names have been added to an online petition calling for the head of a Mt Eliza ashram to step down while police investigate allegations of sexual abuse. “Signatures� have come from around the world, including Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Serbia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the Unites States. Messages left on the petition call for the managers of the tax exempt Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga to appoint a new leader to replace Russell Kruckman, also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji. One message suggests selling the ashram in Tower Rd and distributing the proceeds to the alleged “victims�. Ed Muzika, of Arizona, said that in the Unites States Swami Shankarananda - a “friend for a long, long time� “would be considered innocent until proven guilty�. “I have seen many generic allegations of abuse but no details that lend them credibility. I have no insider knowledge, and certainly don't know the truth here, so I don't know how much there is to this scandal,� Mr Muzika states. “However, as a teacher myself, I have seen first-hand, and with other teachers, how allegations are blown all out of proportion to the actual events, and teachers are considered abusers based on just a few allegations.� Meanwhile, a website established by former members of the ashram has
announced it will no longer publish “testimonials� by those who claim to be adversely affected by the swami’s actions. “Now that the situation at Shiva Yoga is receiving the attention it deserves from the Victorian police, the legal system and other official services, this website can relinquish its role as whistle blower,� says a statement on the website. “We will however continue to share any factual news events and collect media releases to add to our resources page.� Two women who claim to have had sexual relations with the swami have attached their names to their personal accounts of their time at Shiva Yoga. Allegations of sexual impropriety by Swami Shankarananda with more than 40 women attending the ashram were revealed late December 2014. The school’s management committee said it had advice that no laws had been broken but would provide free counselling for affected ashramites and would adopt a code of conduct for everyone working for the ashram, including Swami Shankarananda. Swami Shankarananda issued a statement which, in part said he had “profoundly underestimated the impact� of the tantric sexual activities of his own spiritual leader “and my own. I recognise at last their disastrous effect. I vow to stop this behaviour. Indeed, it has been stopped already.� Keith Platt
Tea Ercoles: Horses and racing inspire her works. Picture: Yanni
Art celebrates horses and the cup A COLOURFUL art exhibition at the Mornington Peninsula Library celebrates horse racing and the Mornington Cup. Artist, Tea Ercoles, has been painting horses throughout her career. “The Mornington Cup is very special to me as my late husband and I used to attend the race and I have lots of fond memories of this time,� she said. “These memories have driven my desire to express my admiration for the beautiful horses, as well as the sport. I often paint horses and horse
still inspires her. She is grateful to the Mornington Council for giving not only herself - but emerging and established artists - the opportunity to exhibit works in their beautiful public space. Her free exhibition will be on display in the library foyer, 2 Vancouver St, Mornington. It runs until 17 April and is open to the public during library hours.

Aging is part of life and along with that comes physical deterioration. The good news is that not everyone is destined for care because there is a lot that can be done. Physical weakness and bodily pains are two common ways where people can lose their independence. Scientific research, however, suggests that it does not have to be like this. Specifically prescribed exercise programs have been shown not only to help conditions but also prevent injury. Arthur Lee, head physiotherapist from Home Visit Physiotherapy Australia aims to keep people out of hospital and out of nursing homes by offering home-based visits to increase people’s independence. “It is amazing how a small amount of exercises can improve what people can do around the home and in the community. I have seen the difference the right exercises can make for the individual � Activity people take for granted such as walking to the local shops or doing simple chores around the house can be a daily struggle for those who are becoming increasingly weak. Arthur Lee graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2000 with a degree in physiotherapy. Over the last seven years, Arthur has been introducing services in physiotherapy according to the needs of the community. He has won an award from the Australian Physiotherapy Association, and contributes to the profession as Vice Chair of the cardiorespiratory group. He has also been personally involved as a project physiotherapist for four different research trials, and is now also assisting in a Lung Cancer research trial. “I believe that healthcare services should be accessible, affordable and always up to date with current understandings in care� Home Visit Physiotherapy Australia started in Frankston and services the suburbs
racing as I really enjoy this subject matter. “Horses are such powerful creatures. I try to show their shear mass of muscle, strength and speed as well as the emotion of the race. All that is missing is the sound of them galloping down the straight and the crowd cheering them on. “The horse theme has often represented a stage of my artistic and personal journey through life. To me it represents finding an inner strength.� Tea’s family have lived on the peninsula all their lives and its beauty

self-sufficient this time”. She said Bay FishNTrips had 25 passengers from the Pacific Pearl, while the Green Olive at Red Hill had an extra sitting and 33 passengers visited the sand sculpting at Frankston. “Tours were hugely weighted to the Peninsula Hot Springs and the Mornington Explorer buses,” she said. About 200 passengers made it onto four bus trips to Sorrento and the southern peninsula on the ship’s 24 February visit and about 150 on bus trips last Wednesday.
Sorrento chamber of commerce vice president Marc Clavin said traders were pleased with the influx of passengers. “It’s been beaut,” he said. “The shops along Main St Sorrento did a bumper trade. “The one disappointment has been the short time turn around. Some passengers were just getting into shopping mode when it was time to get back on the bus. “Next time we will try to get the cruise officers to schedule four-hour visits rather than just one-hour visits.”
The chamber’s business development manager, Natalie Garner, was working through passenger feedback forms last week. “The passengers created a great atmosphere in the town. Quite a few were buzzing around and the demographic was younger this time – with many couples and a few families in the shortbreak market that P&O is targeting.” Mr Clavin said about a third of the visitors had remarked that they would return to Sorrento under their own steam within the next three years.
“That will have a nice snowball effect,” he said. “Overall, from a retailer’s perspective, it was a wonderful experience.” Other southern peninsula sights and activities were popular, too. Moonraker Dolphin Swims put on a boat specifically for 34 cruise passengers and Peninsula Hot Springs catered for 160 passengers in three busloads. A P&O spokeswoman said sister ship Pacific Eden would visit Mornington on 12 and 30 January next year and the Pacific Jewel on 6 March.

LAST week’s visit by the cruise ship Pacific Pearl was a shot in the arm for Mornington Peninsula traders and local tourist operators. The P&O liner carrying 1800 passengers docked at Mornington for the second time in a month – this time on a four-day, one-stop visit before returning to Sydney. Mornington chamber of commerce spokeswoman Kim Rowe said a younger demographic made the passengers more independent. “The average age was about 59 or younger and there were buck’s parties on board, girls on girls’ trips – it was a real contrast to last time,” she said. “A lot said they were surprised at how big Mornington is and I surveyed every passenger getting back on the ship and everyone was carrying a bag – or bags.” Ms Rowe said exit surveys found passengers appreciated the warm welcome and the friendliness of locals who frequently stopped them in Main St asking about the cruise. Adding to the experience was the produce and home wares on sale at the Wednesday traders’ market. “Our success lies with the traders and the reception the passengers receive on these cruises,” she said. “I spoke to the bus drivers and let them know they could stop at all the bus stops in Main St and many got back to the pier empty. That meant passengers walked down Main St getting something to eat or drink and taking in the sights – they were much more

Connecting Local People to Local Produce THE launch of a new booklet will make accessing, growing and cooking fresh, local food easy. Connecting Local People to Local Produce, produced by the Mornington Peninsula Shire, was launched last week by the mayor Cr Bev Colomb. She said the shire recognised people’s right to access healthy, affordable food. “The booklet has been created to help people become aware of the importance of food security and healthy eating, how to access healthy produce and food locally, and how to prepare healthy and nutritious meals,” she said. “You can learn about healthy living, healthy eating, food safety tips, eating healthy on a budget, seasonal foods and setting up and maintaining a veggie patch. There are also contact details for local community gardens, home harvest exchanges and other useful resources. “A handy local produce map is located at the back of the booklet, so you can navigate around the many local, fresh produce offerings right here in our backyard and support our local farmers. “There are even some great recipes – so you can get creative in the kitchen with the best, tastiest and freshest local produce to create some healthy, nutritious meals.” Cr Antonella Celi, chair of the shire’s health and wellbeing committee, said people may not realise that five per cent of the population experiences “food insecurity”. “And, bringing the issue closer to home - 8.7 per cent of our own population on the peninsula - compared with 5.6 per cent as the state average

- experience food insecurity and barriers to accessing local fresh, affordable and nutritious food. “People who cannot access local, fresh, affordable and nutritious food experience detrimental health and lifestyle factors that threaten their ability to live well and prosper in our community. That is not okay.” The shire has been working on other projects to improve residents’ access to local, healthy and nutritious food.
“Here on the peninsula we are fortunate to have great partnerships with agencies such as Second Bite who distribute more than three tonnes of ‘rescued’ fresh food in Rosebud alone, which is just fantastic,” Cr Colomb said. Copies of the Connecting Local People to Local Produce booklet are available at the Rosebud, Hastings and Morningto shire offices or online at mornpen.vic.gov.au/local_produce
WHAT’S NEW
How one family business, three dogs, 40 sheep and 60 chooks saved $10,000 a year on power. “I even contacted the Energy Ombudsman in Victoria about the disappointing lack of service we were receiving.�
AFTER pursuing a hectic corporate lifestyle for many years, in 2003 Greg and Sue O’Donoghue decided to pack up their kids, Sam and Sophie, and move to the glorious wine-growing region of the Mornington Peninsula, one hour from Melbourne. Here, they created Green Olive at Red Hill, a picture perfect 27-acre farm where they grow olives, grapes, herbs and veggies, raise sheep, chooks and ducks, and turn amazing produce from local farmers into a range of goodies everyone loves. While the O’Donoghues are dedicated to creating food for the heart and soul, with the aim of being fully sustainable, they still face the same challenges as many businesses, when it comes to energy usage, consumption and cost. After a bad experience with their previous energy supplier including a lack of customer service, billing inconsistencies and rising costs, Greg O’Donoghue contacted ERM Business Energy to see how they compared. “We waited nine months for our previous retailer to get back to us with an answer about our power consumption with no response, so we decided to look elsewhere,� explained Greg.
“We shopped around with a few electricity providers, but ERM Business Energy were the best by a long shot. We couldn’t have been happier with their response.� Green Olive at Red Hill, which was named Winner of the Excellence in Food Tourism category at the 2014 Victorian Tourism Awards, requires a substantial amount of electricity to successfully operate the business. “We have to power the cool rooms where the sheep are hung after butchering, run the commercial kitchen including the ovens and kettles to make jam and chutney, and operate the irrigation system for the olive grove and vegetable gardens, so it all adds up,� Greg explained. Complacency can prove costly. The prospect of having to switch power companies is often a deterrent for many businesses, however ERM Business Energy can help make the process quick and easy.
“Our ERM Account Manager did all the work for us, so switching was easy. Now we know where we stand with our power bill every month. It’s always on time, it’s easy to understand and if I have any questions, I just shoot them an email and I get a prompt response, usually the same day,â€? said Greg. ERM Business Energy encourages businesses to look at the bottom line, when comparing electricity charges.

Fair Work Commission to shire: halt layoffs Continued from Page 1 Last week the shire issued two bland statements about the layoffs. It could not bring itself to use the words “terminated” or “layoffs” instead stating “a number of staff have been impacted by the review”. One issued on 17 March stated: “Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has embarked on a significant program of re-focussing [sic] the organisation on the needs of the community as a whole, now and into the future. “Further work will be undertaken within the shire over the coming weeks under the guidance of the CEO to find further efficiencies and building [sic] a sustainable shire organisation that is more transparent and much more focussed on its residents. “In an environment of rising costs and increasing community expectations, we need to make sure the organisation is as efficient and effective as possible to ensure that we can deliver a high standard of service to the community,” Mr Cowie said in one statement.
In an email to staff on 13 March, Mr Cowie said: “The reason for change is simple. The shire has to put as much of its resources as possible into servicing the needs of the community, in the main, the ratepayers of the shire. “For some staff within the shire, I suspect they may not see themselves as part of a ‘business’. ‘We’re local government.’ Please understand, when an entity attracts income of $200 million plus, employs more than 1000 staff, contracts with multinational companies to provide services, [and] borrows millions of dollars to fund investment, it is a business. “The departure of certain staff is a reflection of rightsizing, not a reflection of competence.” Last Friday, in another email to staff, Mr Cowie stated: “I appreciate it has been a difficult week for all of you. ... I know it is not lost on any of us that some of our good friends and work colleagues are not here anymore and I know that is sad. ... I also know that all of those people will bounce back bigger and better and that is the positive for them.”
Bowlers compete in men’s fours MT ELIZA Bowling Club will host the Mercedes Benz Invitation Men’s Fours on Saturday. The peninsula-wide competition will comprise 28 teams from across the peninsula with bowling from 10am-5pm. “The day is an opportunity to provide hospitality and to demonstrate the importance of having such an active club in our village community,” organiser Di Vermeeren said. “The social interaction and camaraderie, in addition to the physical benefits of being active,

promote a very healthy positive influence on our members and guests.” She said major sponsor Chris Thoday, of Barloworld Mercedes Benz Mornington, played a significant contribution to the ongoing success of the club. “With an ageing population on the peninsula it is vital that people are encouraged to stay fit and healthy and have the opportunity to belong to a club which provides support and a positive influence on people’s wellbeing,” she said.
New data shows cut in crime rates FIGURES released last week show a “slight increase” in crime on the Mornington Peninsula, although the region has still been described as “stable” by the Crime Statistics Agency, Mornington MP David Morris says. “Total offences on the Mornington Peninsula fell by an astonishing 6.9 per cent in Mt Eliza, Mornington, Moorooduc and Mt Martha,” he said. “Offences in those towns fell from 3086 in 2013 to 2873 in 2014.” The statistics were released for the first time by the state government-appointed Crime Statistics Agency. Mr Morris said the previous state government’s appointment of 137 extra police in Mornington
Fire season ends with a warning THE fire danger season has come and gone without serious incident in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. Although fire restrictions were officially ended on Monday, the CFA has warned that each municipality has its own laws governing the lighting of fires in the open. The CFA each year sets the fire danger period based on local conditions and takes into account fuel moistures, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall. The CFA’s assistant chief officer Trevor Owen said anyone who lights a fire in dangerous weather or fuel conditions or lights a fire that damages another person’s property whether intentionally or not “is guilty of a serious crime”. “Residents need to keep an eye on the weather and be aware of their surroundings. We’ve had a
relatively quiet fire season this year, but there’s no need to be complacent,” Mr Owen said. “People should ring the Vicfire Burn Off Line before conducting any burns and use their common sense. Any fire left unattended in windy conditions can spread into bushland, onto a neighbour’s property or into other materials which will cause untold damage.” Mr Owen said local laws should be checked before any burning. After being lit, no burn-off should be left unattended and calls should be made to neighbours and the Vicfire Burn Off Line “so that brigades don’t get called out to burn-offs unnecessarily”. “Check the weather forecast before you burn off and never burn off in dry, hot, windy conditions,” Mr Owen said.

and Frankston had helped reduce crime. “Local community groups received thousands in Community Safety grants, as well as an allocation of $112,000 towards a new taxi rank at Mornington shopping centre and one in Hastings,” he said. “This boosted safety and comfort with upgraded lighting, CCTV surveillance and more prominent signage.” He said his government committed “a record $2.43 billion to Victoria Police in 2014 - a 22 per cent increase since we took office in 2010”. Overall, he said the peninsula had a lower rate of crime per 100,000 than the state average, as well as lower averages for assault, sexual offences, burglary, theft and drug use and possession.

Not a usual day at the beach Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MOST of us know what it’s like to leave home for the beach on a sunny day. Anticipation builds in the drive to the coast, making the final scramble up the sand dune overlooking the beach appear as easy as a walk in the park. The panorama of a wide open, sandy beach and welcoming blue water brings smile to every face. Try doing this in a wheelchair. The sheer innocent enjoyment of climbing a sand dune on a sunny day is denied to those who can’t walk, haven’t the full use of their limbs or can’t stand unaided. Experiencing the feeling of being swept along by the natural energy of a wave is also something denied to many people who haven’t the full use of their bodies. On Saturday 14 March, 97 people affected by a disability had their time in the sun thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers brought to Point Leo surf beach by the Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch. Whether taken to the water’s edge in widetyred wheelchairs, offered a shoulder on which to lean or merely holding hands with a carer, one after another the surfers were delivered into the welcoming and willing arms of volunteers. A one-foot shore break broke softly into the offshore northerly wind as the blue-shirted volunteers formed a corridor within which the surfers could safely ride their boards to the beach. Some lay on their boards, some sat in the padded “chairs” (designed and made by notfor-profit Solve Disability Solutions) while others managed to get on their knees or even try standing. If they fell there were many hands reaching out to quickly scoop them from the white water and get them ready for a another ride. “I was quite astounded at the number of
volunteers and the obvious enjoyment of the surfers,” Kevin Rydberg, of Mt Eiza, said. A lifesaver at Point Leo for 15 years in the mid 1960s and 1970s, the recently retired Mr Rydberg said he would “definitely” be among the volunteers for the next disabled surfers’ day in January 2016. “There’s some reasonably serious lifting needed, but I’ll be doing it at least until I’m 70,” he said. “This sort of thing makes you realise the truth of the term ‘there but for the grace of God go I’. “How lucky are we? I’d been surfing at Flinders early that morning and it’s just something we’ve always done and take for granted. “One [disabled] guy could only signal to us by winking, he couldn’t move any of his limbs. “He couldn’t smile when he caught three waves, but when I held his hand I could feel a little movement. “Being there on Saturday gives people like me an insight into the meaning of having a disability and a respect and admiration for the parents and carers.”
Mr Rydberg was pleased to see that the lifesavers and their clubhouse were so involved with the disabled surfers. After checking in with the organisers, the first request made of this reporter was made by two young volunteers who wanted a smart phone picture of them standing on the sand dune with the idyllic beach as a backdrop. They then ran off giggling, disappearing into what appeared to be a small army of blue-clad volunteers. On the beach it soon became obvious that age or size is no barrier to either volunteers or surfers. The only recurring hitch was volunteers attaching harnesses to manually haul the wheelchairs back along the beach and, when it was all over, up the sand dune. Hopefully, this effort will diminish over the next year if the DSA is able to raise enough money to build a wooden ramp and viewing platform over at least part of the Point Leo sand dune. The DSA is hoping the $60,000 cost can be shared by itself, Point Leo Life Saving Club, Point Leo Foreshore Committee and Mornington Peninsula Shire, which has referred its grant application to this year’s budget deliberations. DSA peninsula branch president Stewart Lochie said the response from parents and carers had been overwhelming. Organising the surfers and volunteers had gone so smoothly that “it felt like there were only 50 surfers and not 100”. “We hear so many different stories, including ones where this has been the first time one of the surfers has even been to the beach or touched a surfboard,” Mr Lochie said. “Many of the surfers are helpless in even one foot of water, but we make safety and their happiness our priorities. “Seeing the result, and the smiles, validates what we do.”

A grazier gardener who grew into a statesman OBITUARY
Garden lovers: Tamie and Malcolm Fraser at home at Merricks in 2013. Picture: Yanni
John Malcolm Fraser, 1930-2015 Prime Minister By Fran Henke FORMER Prime Minister and Merricks resident Malcolm Fraser died on Friday. He was revered as a radical in his retirement, perceived as a statesman. Leaving “toxic” party politics behind in 2010, having presided in 1975 over one of Australia’s most notorious political events, “The Dismissal”, he moved on to speak out against apartheid, in support of multiculturalism, strongly in defence of refugees, and on the rights of Indigenous Australians. “It’s time for Australia to grow up,” he stated. Entering parliament in 1955 at the age of 25, Mr Fraser, with his craggy good looks and gruff personality, was seen as an elite from Victoria’s wealthy Western District grazier class. Cartoonists depicted him as an Easter Island statue – tall, distant and immovable. But in his 70s and 80s he became more a man of the people, willing to speak up, unconstrained by politics of the day. Mr Fraser and wife Tamie moved to Thurulgoona in Merricks from Nareen, their property near Hamilton, 16 years ago. The Frasers chose the peninsula after considerable exploration, Mrs Fraser explained during an interview about their garden in 2013, because “elsewhere they seemed too retired”. The site offering just red clay and a lone pine, was chosen for its views of Western Port and the opportunity to make another great garden. They had opened their former garden 25 years ago to support the new Open Garden scheme and to help keep staff going on Nareen. “There was drought, stock prices were low; it was a difficult time,” she said.
At Merricks their relaxed country-style garden attracted as many as 10,000 visitors, involving the former prime minister in problems of parking, rebuilding a bridge for access as well as answering questions from visitors. (Sadly after
27 years the garden scheme of which Mrs Fraser became president also has died.) Mr Fraser had long been a breeder of camellias (notably C. japonica “Tamie Fraser”) so his pride and joy was the camellia section. Not just
DĞŵďĞƌƐŚŝƉ ŝƐ ŽƉĞŶ ǁŝƚŚ ďĞŶĞĨŝƚƐ ĨŽƌ Ăůů ĐĂƚĞŐŽƌŝĞƐ͙͘
for camellias, the area also known as a “cigar garden” featuring a special seat for what Mrs Fraser described as “anti-social habits”. Gardens reveal their “staff”: behind a hedge was an area dedicated to improve the short part of the Frasers’ golf game, mostly played at Flinders. Nearby, Mr Fraser had a shed – home to his woodturning equipment and boat. A Hastings neighbour, a keen fisherman, recalls seeing a bloke at the Stony Point launching ramp struggling with his vessel. “Need a hand, mate?” he called, looking up to see the familiar features of the former prime minister. Mr Fraser was more used to ocean fishing out of Peterborough, south of Nareen. He was also keen on photography and cameras. Loved his dogs, too. At the interview two years ago I noted how agile Mr Fraser was, bending to weed, to deal with Choc and Grizzle the dogs, moving easily for his age, of which his wife was clearly proud. A colleague recalled “he always presented as a politician, only letting down his guard when speaking about something he enjoyed: cameras (Leicas), cars (Lancias), fishing and, once when I noticed a painting or picture of a British cruiser on his office wall, the Second World War and fall of Singapore”. There was a quote for which Mr Fraser was famous, often misquoted according to the toxic politics of the day. It came from Back to Methuselah by George Bernard Shaw: “Life wasn’t meant to be easy, my child, but take courage: it can be delightful.” Malcolm Fraser was a man of courage, who delighted in life, however tough. He died on 20 March after a short illness, and is survived by his wife and four children and their children.

LETTERS Judge actions, not words Contrary to the protestations of Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt (‘Independent review’, Letters, The News 17/3/15) about his great concern for the environment and all connected to it, his track record is a little less convincing. These include his aim of cutting great areas of Tasmanian world heritage forests from protection, or his silence on the Port of Hastings development in a Ramsar world heritage wetland, his distancing himself from a decision on wildlife corridors at a southeastern Melbourne housing development to protect the southern brown bandicoot, his sign-off on the Abbot Point dredging deals at the Great Barrier Reef. Luckily that decision has been reversed, but not completely, as it does not cover all of the world heritage site of the reef. We should judge him by his deeds and not his words. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Job savings Being a long-time critic of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s policy of empire building and creating unnecessary managerial positions just for the sake of expansion and ego, I was pleasantly amazed to read that the new shire CEO is apparently getting rid of some of this expensive dead wood (‘Jobs go in shire shake-up’, The News 17/3/15). If so, all power to the new CEO. Keep it up. We might now even see rate increases pause, or even the second rate – the municipal charge – abolished. However, it does worry me that the same edition of The News reports that the mayor is committing the shire to the prevention of family violence – another superfluous commitment given that the federal government has made a commitment and the state government is going to hold a Royal Commission into it. Hopefully, this is only a do-gooders feel-good statement, given that the council has no expertise, no competence and no authority in this field.
I still remember two councillors being sent to Copenhagen for a climate change conference. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
Man of letters Martin Dixon must be suffering from irrelevance syndrome. For three or four weeks now, he has either had a letter or an article on leash-free dogs, hooded plovers, Portsea and, now, the controversial Arthurs Seat gondola chairlift. Normally, if it wasn’t for his advertisement in the papers we would hardly know he was around. John Cain, McCrae
Delaying tactics During the latest Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting it was interesting that Cr David Gibb used the same argument as did Nepean MP Martin Dixon of “no other purpose than to frustrate, delay or even prevent the development of the Arthurs Seat chairlift� (‘Short-sighted’, Letters, 17/3/15). If anyone would know how to use these tactics they would, as can be evidenced by the delay of the Rosebud pool for several years waiting for the “right� government to be elected to “approve� the foreshore site. In the end even that approval was thrown out. So, 10 years later we have no pool. The pool they eventually build will cost six times the original cost and we missed out on a $12 million contribution from the state government, which Frankston received. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
‘Tattered’ reputation To take anything that Nepean MP Martin Dixon says about development on the peninsula with any degree of confidence requires a huge leap of faith from his electorate and, in particular, the residents of Red Hill who are concerned about the Arthurs Seat Skylift development. (‘Shortsighted’, Letters, 17/3/15). Let us not forget that Mr Dixon was a minister in the now-disgraced Liberal government. A
government that needlessly brought forward the East West Link contract weeks before the state election for its own political purposes. Mr Dixon’s government treated voters like fools and tried to paint us into a corner regarding the East West Link. Mr Dixon was also a fervent supporter of “selling� part of Point Nepean to private enterprise. The credibility of state Liberal party politicians and their federal counterparts is in tatters and any trust we may have invested in them has evaporated. For Mr Dixon to criticise the politicising of developments and sovereign risk for anyone contemplating investment in the peninsula is laughable given the record of the Liberal government in which he was a minister I would rather place my trust in the views of local people through my local council than Liberal politicians who have a record of favouring developers to the detriment of their electorate. Geoff Selby, Moorooduc
Work visas It’s easy to say that welfare costs can be reduced by getting people off it and into jobs and that this would reduce the unemployment rate, but there is a big problem with this. The main problem is that businesses and companies do not want and will not train people while there are so many people in this country on work visas. About a year ago there were 900,000 people here on temporary visas, including 200,000 on 457 visas, 330,000 on other work visas and 370,000 on student visas (who can also work). Separate from this there were 650,000 New Zealanders on special visas, that’s more than one and a half million people, which would make up seven per cent of the workforce if all participated. I think the unemployment rate is close to seven per cent. What a coincidence. This reduces employers’ incentive to employ Australian permanent citizens and train them when they have all this on tap and it certainly does not help mature age people getting a job, let
alone school leavers. We have all these registered training organisations being paid by the federal government (our taxes) to put people through courses but still need on-the-job training and work experience. The federal government needs to address the real problem and fix it. P Geeves, Somerville
Falling behind My letter to you (‘Level the field’, The News, 10/3/15) showed that quite a few people were sympathetic to the plight of the Nepean netballers with the number of clubs forfeiting A grade games, creating a fragmented competition. I was contacted by several people who also raised the subject of the competition being officiated by club officials, as opposed to the footballers being umpired by an independent umpiring body. It was further pointed out to me that the football umpiring body had several assessors who attended various games for purpose of scrutinising their umpires, while the netballers have one umpires’ assessor who was rarely seen at most venues last season. The alliance CEO has stated that the provision of independent umpires would be costlier and would be borne by the playing members. How absurd it is that the independent umpires’ association, whose impartiality is beyond question, has several assessors, while the allegedly conflicted club umpires have one. I approached a PNSA official and suggested that the two netball competitions, Peninsula and Nepean, be amalgamated into one super league, or that the Nepean netball fixture not follow the football fixture, so that Nepean teams could play opponents every week. When I suggested that the netball competition need not slavishly follow the footballers, I was met with a rolling of eyes, and the sentence “It’s probably too late for that now�. Most top class sports administrations strive to implement a can-do attitude, but the PNSA has fallen behind in this respect. Antony Nemaric, Somerville

Fundamentals of Islam explained Leanda Michelle: Holding Write to Know Self gatherings.
Inside writing A PUBLISHED author is holding what she calls Write to Know Self gatherings, 10am-noon on the first Wednesday of each month, beginning 1 April. Leanda Michelle, who has a diploma in professional writing and editing, recently moved to the peninsula from Melbourne where she ran similar gatherings. Before that she lived in Gippsland and ran the Ridge Writers group. She said the gatherings were “all about discovering your voice and unique expression through fun and inspiring writing prompts that are energy-based to give you a whole new perspective. “You'll gain a deeper awareness of self, who you are and what you want from life. You don't have to be a good speller or constructor of sentences. All that is required is an open mind and heart to receive.� Workshop materials are included in the sessions which will be offered by donation to cover the cost of the venue and morning tea. Depending on the number of bookings the venue will either be a private house or at Mt Martha Community House. For bookings and details call Ms Michelle on 0400730602 or email: arunquiltha@bigpond.com
ISLAMIC beliefs, history and contemporary issues were the subject of talks at a second meeting in Mornington recently. Imam Janud, of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Victoria, delivered a lecture on Islam, its basic beliefs, history and contemporary issues at St Mark’s Uniting Church in Mornington on Wednesday 11 March. Another meeting - at the New Peninsula Auditorium, Craigie Rd, in February – had explored Islam, faith and reason and discussed why most Muslims live peaceful lives while a minority take up arms and align themselves with violent groups. Peter Orton, chairman of Peninsula Voice, said: “I recently attended Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s annual Australia Day celebrations in their beautiful Bait-ul-Salam mosque in Langwarrin and, for the first time, I came to know that there is a strong connection between love of one’s country and Islamic teachings. “All I know about Ahmadiyya is that this community means love and harmony and their mosque is a place of peace.� Imam Janud told the group he was a missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Victoria. He received his degree in Islamic Theology and Comparative Religions in May 2013 from the Ahmadiyya Institute of Islamic Studies in Maple, Ontario, Canada. Ahmadiyya theological institute is formally known as Jamia Ahmadiyya with branches in seven countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany and Ghana. Speaking on Islam’s basic teachings, “Understanding the fundamen-
tals of Islam can be divided into two categories: the Five Articles of Faith, which essentially define a Muslim’s belief, and the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the implementation of the philosophy in the articles of faith,� Imam Janud said. “One of the most beautiful and unique teachings of Islam is acceptance of a universal God who has sent his beloved prophets to all people throughout time. “Islam tells us that no one has a monopoly over God; therefore, God has sent his prophets and messengers to all nations throughout time. Consequently, a Muslim essentially becomes a Muslim only after he becomes a Hindu first, by believing in prophet Krishna as a person of God. A Muslim becomes a Zoroaster first, by believing in the ancient Persian prophet Zoroaster, a Jew by believing in Moses and a Christian by believing in Jesus. And, only at the end, when he believes in Muhammad (peace be upon him) he becomes a Muslim.� Imam Janud said Islam had been misrepresented by a small group of so-called Muslims. “A book cannot be judged by its cover. Let me assure you that this does not represent the voice of Islam. It does not represent the voice of nearly two billion Muslims. “Such radicalism and extremism are completely alien to the teaching of the Quran and Prophet Muhammad.� Asked about whether Muslims enforce Sharia Law in Western countries, Imam Janud said: “Faith is between you and God. Islam does not say anywhere that you enforce your way of life.�

THIS massive, true quarter acre block is the perfect way to future proof your retirement or begin your career in property development. With the potential to be sub-divide (STCA) into 4 lots – each with a view to the bay from a double storey dwelling, this could be Dromana’s premier address in just a few years. However, there is an existing home that will also draw interest from families looking for plenty of space. The property is an olderstyle residence, with many retro features still in place, that receives plenty of natural light and boasts an interior that could be easily re-decorated. All living areas are nice and comfortable, there is a neat kitchen with upright stove and dishwasher, and a great sunroom runs down one side. Externally, there is a cosy patio, and down a few steps is a larger undercover entertaining area alongside the garage and carport. The block has some handy garden sheds and there are some fruit trees. Less than one kilometre from the beach and shops, and whether it be for yourself or developing further, this is one not to be missed.

There’s nothing like it! where they live even more.
It is an event which only two world wars could (temporarily) halt. It brings together the greatest produce, arts and crafts, animals, food and outdoor entertainment the Peninsula has to offer.
And it culminates in the last Grand Parade to be held at any Victorian Agricultural Show. The 87th Red Hill Show will take over the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday, March 28th.
At the Red Hill Show it all comes together in one noisy, tasty, energetic, exciting, family-oriented spectacle. Check out the enormous pumpkins. Get hands-on with wool spinning, crafting, cooking and even African drumming. See cows being milked, ferrets racing and bulls lazily strutting their stuff in the cattle competition.
A celebration of all things agricultural, crafty, culinary and entertaining, the Red Hill Show is an institution which draws people from all over Victoria. Where else can you marvel at burly blokes competing in the woodchop, sip on locally brewed limoncello and honey liqueur, contemplate stunning amateur photography, then bring the kids face to face with an alpaca in one hall, and up to their knuckles in painting and craft in another?
Beyond animals of all shapes and sizes, entertainment for kids includes circus, kite, art and craft workshops, roving characters, fairground rides, a bungee pull and rock climbing wall.
Renowned as Melbourne’s food bowl, the Mornington Peninsula has long been feted for our exceptional agricultural produce. A scenic drive around the Peninsula’s towns, bays, rolling hills and bushland and it all unfolds: cattle, sheep, horses, fowl. Wineries, breweries, cheeseries, olive groves, farm gates. Populated by people who love what they do, and love
Show admission is $50 for a family (2 adults, 3 kids 6-18 years), $15 for adults and $10 for children 6-18. Kids 5 and under are free. Students and pensioners $10.
A ride on the mechanical bull is a more adult thrill; perhaps best attempted before hitting the incredible local food and refreshment stalls. Local musicians will add colour, sound and atmosphere all day long.
For more information, visit redhillshow.com.au, or follow the Show on Facebook and Twitter. See you at the Show!

YES, Cheese AMATEUR CHEESEMAKERS WHEEL OUT THEIR BEST FOR THE RED HILL SHOW
One week from now, Bruce Charlton will be checking the ambient temperature in his small cheese fridge. Hoping that his washed rind cheese has matured at just the right rate. And crossing his fingers that the finished product turns out just like the practice batch he made last week. “I will be entering a feta, a small handmade goat’s cheese and a washed rind which is made from cow’s milk,” explains the amateur cheesemaker, who is a chef by trade. “I made a washed rind yesterday, which was a practice for the competition. And of course it was perfect. Next week, it might not be the same. It’s hard – I torture myself with it!” Cheesemaking is a tricky, exacting game; one which brings together science, a ‘feel for the curd’ and even a little magic. Jan and Trevor Brandon have all three skills in spades; as evidenced by their highly successful business, Red Hill Cheese. Trevor had long been making cheese for friends and family when the couple decided to open their business in 2000. 15 years later, the business is one of the Peninsula’s tastiest culinary success stories.
The couple also run cheesemaking courses from their Red Hill cheesery, and many of the entrants in the Red Hill Show’s Amateur Cheesemaking competition first learned their craft from the Brandons. The Brandons’ son, Burke, has taken over the role of Chief Cheesemaker, but come Red Hill Show Day on March 28th, it will be Dad Trevor who is again centre stage, as he co-judges the Show’s Amateur Cheesemaking competition. Just do not be misled by the ‘Amateur’ title. “The reason I enter is that the criteria is really high”, says Bruce Charlton. “They don’t give away ribbons, take it from me. You don’t want to be judged by a plonker! For hobbyists, it sets a high benchmark: when you do well, you know you’ve done well.” The Red Hill Show takes place at the Red Hill Showgrounds on Saturday 28th March. The Peninsula’s most impressive agricultural animals and produce will be on show, alongside culinary offerings and competitions to thrill even the most ardent foodie.
“The business possibly grew too fast!” laughs Jan Brandon when reflecting on the demandfor their celebrated sheep, goat and cows milk cheeses.
Animal Magnetism Bronwyn Stewart of Sea Crest Farm is doubtful that Bonnie Lass and Bonnie Skye will take home any prizes in the cattle competition at this year’s Red Hill Show. But she also knows that the lack of a medal will not dent their popularity with the Show crowds. Highland Cattle, with their big horns, Scottish heritage and wooly coats are scene-stealing bovines. Better still, Stewart’s cows are quiet and accustomed to wearing a harness, which means that requests to pat and brush the animals are usually met with an enthusiastic “yes!” “We probably won’t win a medal on the day because the Highlands are a little breed”, explains Stewart. “Since there are no other Scottish or English breeds entered we’ll be judged in the Beef Breeders competition.” Being out of medal contention does not dampen Stewart’s enthusiasm for the Show. She will be exhibiting 8 of the 41 Highland cows from her Flinders farm, and cites “interaction with the crowd” as one of her key reasons for participating in the Show. “One of the great things about Red Hill is that they let people walk past the head of the cattle; at other shows they have people going past the tail,” she says. “When you go past the head, you can engage with the animal much more – you can feed them hay, have your hand licked.” The Flinders naturopath runs her 100 acre breeding farm using complimentary farming methods. That means no fertilisers or pesticides; just plenty of pure, unsprayed Peninsula grass, homeopathic treatments, herbs…and happy, glowing Highland cows. See Bonnie Lass, Bonnie Skye and their Highland friends in the agricultural pavilion at the Show. Mornington News 24 March 2015

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Tragic drowning off Stony Point Compiled by Melissa Walsh IN accordance with our usual practice, at Easter time, the next issue of the paper will be published on Thursday evening instead of Friday. All advertisements for that issue will require to reach this office by midday on Thursday. *** MR Harry Jackson, of ‘Cheer Oh,’ Frankston, has volunteered for active service, and is now in camp at Broadmeadows. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Brass Band will be held in the practice room, on Tuesday evening next, at 8 o’clock. *** THE Railway Department has published in this issue, a list of extra trains which will run during Easter week, between Melbourne and Frankston. *** MESSRS A Scott and Co will hold their monthly stock sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will offer a good yarding of sheep and cattle. The sheep will be sold in lots to suit purchasers. *** AT the Patriotic Parade of high class dogs held at Federal Government House Grounds on Saturday last, Mr Doug Picking, of Frankston, took first prize and challenge blue ribbon with his old English sheep dog, ‘Frankston Lorna Doone.’ *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold
an unreserved clearing out sale at Tower House, Frankston, on Monday next on account of Mr W. H. Hoad, who is leaving the district, and on Wednesday next, prior to the usual produce sale at the mart, Bay Street, will offer the whole of Mr E. A Worrall’s household furniture and effects. Full particulars of both sales will be found in our advertising columns. *** ON the 18th inst the first load of fruit delivered by motor arrived at the Somerville railway station, and created considerable interest to the onlookers. Mr E A Dunn is the owner of the motor to which he has adapted an attachment, capable of carrying 22 cases of fruit so that in one morning he sent up 48 cases in the time that it would take a horse to do one load. We congratulate Mr Dunn on his enterprise, which will expedite considerably the transit of fruit to the station, and prove a boon to the growers in the district. *** MR Arthur Douglas, the Australian ‘Harry Lauder’, from Rickards so well and favorably known in this district, has been engaged for the forthcoming novelty concert, given by the Somerville Musical Comedy Company, on Easter Saturday, April 3rd. The program consists of tableaux, illustrated songs, solos and choruses, and will be followed by a dance. Admission 1/, members half price. In view of the great expense of Mr Douglas’s engagement, the Social
Club feel obliged to charge their members 6d. We feel sure a bumper house will, as usual, greet the company. Mrs Duncan Puckle has the arrangements in hand. *** THE first meeting of the Somerville Ladies’ Guild for the year 1915 was held on March 18th. There was a good attendance of members. Mrs C. W. Grant occupied the chair. Dr Griffith, who with Messrs C. W Grant, S. S. Gault and G. W. Reed was present by invitation spoke of the great necessity of work for the Red Cross Society. Mr Grant suggested that the Guild should suspend its work and another society be formed. This was done, because the first rule of the Guild states that it was formed to work for the paying off of the show grounds and buildings. It was decided to postpone the next meeting of the Guild to that day 6 months. A society to work in connection with the Red Cross requirements was then formed with Mrs C. W Grant as President, and Mrs Geo. Shepherd as secretary and treasurer. A letter was received from Mr A. G. Carver, secretary of the Somerville Social Club, stating that £3 10s was available. A subscription of 2s for ladies was decided upon and 2s 6d for men. Material will be available for a sewing meeting on Thursday, 25th. To augment the funds a jumble fair will be held on Easter Monday, and a concert by the State school children a little later.
*** MESSRS A Patterson and G W Wells, of Frankston, have gone to Tasmania for a holiday trip. *** TENDERS are invited up to April 3rd, for the erection of additions to the Mechanics’ Institute at Somerville, for which specifications can be seen at the Somerville Post Office. *** A NUMBER of tenders are advertised in this issue for works in the Frankston and Hastings Shire, specifications for which can be seen at Somerville P.O. and Hastings Corner Store. Tenders are returnable at Somerville up to Thursday morning next. *** MR E T Kinnimont announces, in our advertising columns, that he has purchased the hairdressing business lately carried on by Mr E A Worrall, in Bay street, Frankston, and hopes to retain the patronage that was accorded his predecessor. Mr Kinnimont formerly resided in Barham, New South Wales. *** A SPLENDID exhibition of fruit, vegetables, fancy work, etc, is on exhibition at the show today, and is a sight well worth seeing. The show will be opened at 2 pm. today, and will remain open till 10.30, when competitors may remove their exhibits. Splendid entries have been received in spite of all indifferences. *** A VERY sad drowning fatality
happened on Sunday evening last, when a boating party was returning from Cowes. The boat was under the command of N. Amendola, who had with him 3 others, namely Neilson, Lothian and Jennings. They left the pier about 4.30 p.m with the intention of only going for a sail as far as Stony Point, but as there was such a fine breeze blowing they decided to go across to Cowes, arriving there about 6.30 pm and left for home again at 7.30 p.m. The wind had freshened a little, and every thing went alright until they were nearly to Stony Point when Neilson fell overboard and N. Amendola dived straight in after him, but unfortunately neither has been seen since. Lothian and Jennings searched about the vicinity as best they could in the dark until about 4 a.m next morning but could find no tidings. They then brought the bad news home and Constable O’Shannassy and J. Amendola (father of one of the victims) left to search the locality where the accident happened, but up to the present no tidings have been found. N. Amendola was a single man, 27 years of age, and had been fishing in the bay all his life. Neilson was a married man with a family and was 43 years of age. The latter had only been here a few weeks, having been in the employment of Ryan Bros. Great sympathy is felt for the relatives of both men. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 March, 1915

Mornington News 24 March 2015
A Grain of Salt ASIDE from the small percentage of ratbags invading us during January, Easter and long weekends, our pathetic public transport system and our vote being as valuable as a cigarette butt, the Mornington Peninsula is up there as “heaven on a stick”. During these rare idealistic moments I consider voting for The Greens - at least they recognise the failure of policy on our cruelty to refugees. But no - that’s stretching credibility. I tell myself to relax, soak up the autumn, get through Easter and it’s plain sailing through to Cup Day. With Billy Boy Shorten seemingly sight (and policies) unseen it will all be calm on the political front? No chance, as Lord Tony and little Joey step up to the plate, a great comedy duo to rival the classical Clarke and Dawes. *** The intergenerational report (our future?) is a classic document of fiction prepared almost entirely from the point of view of the Coalition’s political agenda. If things keep going as expected for 40 years says Joe, we’ll be 77 per cent richer on average than we are now? Who, them or us? Maybe let’s first do something about the $36 billion of superannuation tax concessions, $31 billion of capital gains tax concessions, and the $10 billion of tax foregone on the negative gearing? Interesting that this mob, who do not believe in climate change, believe we’ll all live to 100 soon. Them or us? We were spared little Joey after his disastrous 2014 budget; kept his conker down for months allowing Lord Tony to take the flack. Alas, they allowed him to open his mouth after a short shift in the
popularity polls and out he pops with another gem by suggesting first home buyers access their super duper, ensuring life on the dole from ages 65 until death, at apparently 100 years or later. Lah lah land. Go Joe, go, please. *** Mind you, if Joey could pick a few holes in negative gearing, ban interest only loans and allow some sort of super access percentage restrictions he may have half an idea. Particularly concerning the big difference in renting on a full pension and owning, when rents increase and the renter tries to earn an extra quid only to have my mates at Centrelink go the biff on his/her pension. Renting is cheaper early years and there’s very little accumulation of super anyway, but late 20s into the 30s could have merit coupled with negative gearing action. Never forgetting Lord Tony on his Aboriginal remote communities “lifestyle” choices, conveniently forgetting 200 years of genocide and dispossession to remote spots in the first place. Lifestyle can also be attributed to miners, public schoolkids, farmers, superannuation for rich kids over 60 and of course Canberra itself, and all of them are far more expensive than maintaining remote communities. What’s that? Rupert’s tax rebate and Gina’s tax credits? Chicken feed. *** Over the many years I’ve often asked myself the burning question “Why do I keep going?” After all the bottom line is as clear as crystal: You can’t win. True, but like a good game of table tennis you concentrate on the next point. Little fish are indeed sweet. It
keeps the mind active. I’ve had my victories in life, not too many but enough to anticipate the next, or the one after. As a union president, vice-president, organiser, committeeman always the battle, always trying to extract the pennies out of their massive pockets to place one or two into ours. It boils down to this: if you sit on your backside and do nothing you might just as well be on their side, and their side is devoid of any sympathy. Not with hate, or even nastiness, simply by keeping on punching. To put it plainly “have a go, ya mug”. Oh, it’s also a lot of fun. *** Our government has flagged a desire to simplify the Temporary Work (Entertainment) visa, which reads as I see it letting overseas actors and crews take local jobs. Presently, restrictions are along the lines of one lead role, one supporting and one cameo but if this gets through it could be open slather. New Zealand actor Roy Billing OAM said: “We actors need to look past the narrow thinking of our unions and its current leadership, and our own selfishness, and consider the added work opportunities more production would give to etc etc”... Perhaps New Zealand actors undergo a masterclass on how to suck up to the right people before embarking to Aussieland? *** A delightful piece in The Age from Patricia Edgar in praise of ageing and particularly “Good sex is not just the preserve of the young”. Regular readers of this column will recognise my occasional references (innuendos?) to the sex question, al-
By Cliff Ellen most certainly as a result of a severe state of physical and mental frustration dating back to the death of my gorgeous wife 10 years ago. It’s not easy waking to an empty bed, thus the need for exercises, coffee mornings at Maggies and my two pots at the Rye RSL. It never replaces the need, like a cigarette, but it helps. OK, I admit -I thought about Phuket, but sadly dismissed it. Heart attack material. *** Heard on radio “A new study shows a Mediterranean diet can
be beneficial to good health”?... OK, the GP co-payment is dead and buried, but not the freeze on rebate indexation?....“It is reason and wisdom which takes away cares, not places affording wide views over the sea. It is not enough to withdraw from the mob, not enough to go to another place: we have to withdraw from such attributes of the mob as are within us. It is our own self we have to isolate and take back into possession”...On reaching 79 does hope spring eternal? I’m close to doubting that last word... hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com www.ello8. com

Rise and fall of the billy cart kid By Stuart McCullough WE used to make our own fun. This was back in a time when “fun” could be built pretty much from nothing and didn’t have to be downloaded, inserted into a gaming console or placed on lay-by. In an effort to fill the weekend hours, we embarked on all manner of enterprises. Some were abandoned (attempting to build a rocket big enough to hold one of my siblings), some we ought to have abandoned (the rope swing from which I fell and broke my leg) and some came to glorious fruition. These included the BMX track – which was basically a dirt track with a lump of earth at the end we called a “jump” – and a cloned Hereford calf we called “The Sequel”. We also made our own billy cart. Despite my enthusiasm, I was inept. I’ve never been much good with my hands; unable even to build suspense, I stood no chance of building anything resembling a billy cart. At scouts, in art classes or at pottery lessons, everything I touched ended up an ashtray. Had either of my parents smoked, this might have been useful. Had they known anyone who smoked, we would have had a steady supply of presents. Instead, they ended up mostly as decorations that, after a time, would simply go missing. This deficiency was made all the more clear to me because I had a younger brother who was very good at building anything he turned his mind to. He could build an internal combustion engine out of toothpicks. To spite me, he’d take pipe cleaners,
PAGE 50
old toilet rolls and a tub of glue and build a fully functioning robot. Most of the time I ignored him but when he’d bring out the Lego and use it to re-create 16th century Venice, complete with canals, it was impossible. Anxious to compete, I produced my own Lego to make something that looked a lot like an ashtray. Why I thought I could build a billy cart I’ll never know. More mysterious still is why I thought it would be a good idea. We had a gravel driveway leading to a road, also made of gravel. It was a world of dirt and stone. By its very nature, it made certain activities – rollerskating, skateboarding and, indeed, billycarting –inherently difficult. We were not to be deterred.
Mornington News 24 March 2015
Luckily for me, my brother agreed to help me build the billy cart. The body was made of wood and bore an uncanny resemblance to a miniature coffin. The wheels were transplanted from an old pram and steering was a length of a twine that had once held a hay bale together. We took turns pushing each other down the driveway, doing our best to avoid the potholes. The lack of suspension meant that every bump bit into your buttocks. There was also risk of splinters. As for brakes, they were notable only for their absence. But despite its obvious flaws, I thought our billy cart was a thing of beauty. Everyone knows a kid like Neville Newman when they’re growing up.
He was in my class at primary school and his family always seemed to be doing something impossibly cool like riding jetskis or racing motorbikes. As I excitedly revealed the existence of the billy cart, Neville shrugged his shoulders and told me that he, too, had built a billy cart. What’s more, his was faster than mine. There is a time for talking and a time for action. We agreed that determining which of us, indeed, had the fastest billy cart was a matter best resolved by way of a race. Nev suggested we meet at Vista Court on Saturday. On arriving that weekend, I knew instantly that I was out of my depth. For starters, Vista Court was not made of gravel but of
bitumen. The street name was a reference to the fact that you could see over the entire Western Port region. The whole thing was downhill. Suddenly, I realised that Neville’s selection of Vista Court was no accident. Then he revealed his billy cart. It was made of fibreglass. Being the Seventies, this may well have been the first time that fibreglass was ever used in Australia. The wheels were large and sturdy and unlikely to have ever been attached to a pram. For a moment I deluded myself; that what I lacked in terms of equipment I could more than make up through sheer heart and determination. As I have grown older I have realised that people who are about to receive the beating of their lives often think such thoughts. Had you been watching from a distance, it would not even have looked like a race. Neville streamed down Vista Court, shoulders curled over the steering wheel and moving with a speed of a startled rabbit. I could only watch as the speck that was Nev grew smaller and smaller as his lead grew ever more substantial. By the time I reached the end of Vista Court, Neville had not only finished the race but also completed primary school. It was my first absolute shellacking. I tried to be gracious, but the bitter taste of defeat, as well as a few random insects, was hard to dislodge. I immediately announced my retirement and the billy cart was never again pressed into service. It sat in the shed along with all the things I had tried but surrendered. Maybe someone could use it as an ashtray. www.stuartmccullough.com

Baxter remain the yardstick PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula cricket superstar and Baxter skipper Daniel Warwick guided his team to a well deserved premiership on Saturday at Alexandra Park. In front of a packed house, Warwick stayed at the crease to the very end, celebrating yet another silver cup in the Baxter Cricket Club trophy cabinet with an unbeaten 69. Baxter’s opponent, Sorrento, lost its fourth grand final on the trot and one wonders whether they will ever taste the ultimate glory. Whilst Baxter held the upper hand
heading into the third and final day on Saturday, it still took some individual brilliance to get the job done. Sorrento’s intent was obvious from the outset and that was to score runs quickly, get a big lead and try and bowl Baxter out with as many overs up their sleeve as possible. A lead of around 170 would have been the target, however, Baxter’s bowlers, refreshed after a week off, removed Sorrento skipper Nick Jewell very early, courtesy of Ben Smith. The rest of the six bastmen who followed failed to get to double figures. Anthony Blackwell made 35, however, he had half of those last week. Sorrento made 211 in their second
innings, adding to the miserly 51 they made in the first. This left Baxter with a target of 154 to win. Having already won the match on first innings, Baxter had two ways to play it. Bat out the day without making the runs, or go for it and reach the target. Baxter has always played boldly and they were always going to aim for the latter. They did it in the 59th over in fine style. Whilst Warwick was the second innings hero with 69, Joe Rule also played a significant role in the victory with his 32. When he came to the crease, Sorrento had a real sniff at 2/14.
However, other than Blackwell and AJ King, Sorrento really were short another bowling option. Warwick didn’t look threatened at any point and with a more than reasonable batting line-up behind him, they were always going to see out the day or make the runs required. Blackwell finished with three wickets and seven for the match. AJ King snared two wickets and five for the match. The match belonged to Baxter though. Dale Irving finished with match figures of 6/65 from 25 overs. Chamika Sattambi was superb also, picking-up 8/64 from 25 overs across the three days.
Ben Smith made 49 in the first innings and took three second innings wickets. Baxter was professional throughout the match, despite plenty happening around them. They are undoubtedly the benchmark of Mornington Peninsula cricket and adding Delacombe Park skipper Chris Brittain to the squad next season is only going to make them stronger. In a tight, tough season, Baxter Cricket Club proved it was the cream that could once again rise to the top. Winning flags has become a habit for the club and it shows no signs of slowing down.
Eagles lead all the way DISTRICT By IT Gully SOMERVILLE will play in Provincial grade next season after hanging on strongly to win the MPCA District grand final. Although the Eagles had won the match last week on first innings, Red Hill coach Simon Dart was always going to exercise his option of trying to get a reverse outright on the third available day. Red Hill made 170 in their first innings and Somerville replied with 224 after Brenton Alp and David Kuelen made an 80-run partnership when their side was in some trouble at 5/121. Red Hill needed quick runs and they sure got them on the final day, making a quick fire 186 in just 26 overs, giving themselves plenty of time to bowl out Somerville. The Eagles simply needed to occupy the crease for the duration of the day to win. They also had the option of scoring the 133 runs. Given more overs, Somerville would have easily got the runs, however, they were happy to spend as much time at the crease as possible. Red Hill used six bowlers in an attempt to capture 10 wickets, however, they managed to get just two of them. The Eagles finished 36 overs at 2/104. It was enough to taste the sweet nectar of premiership glory and look forward to a return to Provincial cricket. Red Hill was the dominant team in the home and away season, however, its finals campaign wasn’t so convincing. Somerville was always the danger team and it proved to be the case when it mattered most.

Panthers claw memorable victory SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully PEARCEDALE pulled off one of the greatest comeback wins of all time on Saturday to beat Rosebud in the Sub District grand final. After the first two days of the match last weekend, Rosebud was in the box seat to win. They had made 152 on the Saturday and had Pearcedale in a real spot of bother at the close of play on Sunday, seven wickets down with 50 runs still to get. With Shayne Gillings down with a hamstring injury, many wondered how Pearcedale was going to pull it off. The Panthers may not have achieved the impossible on the first innings, but what followed will probably never, ever be done again. The third day of this match had more twists and turns than a 1960’s dancefloor. Pearcedale had achieved the unthinkable in the first innings, getting to the point where they needed just three runs to win the match with two wickets in hand. John Herbert was looking the goods on 45 and together with Gillings (11), looked as though they were going to get the target. However, Rosebud opening bowler Adam Bryant removed Gillings and it was game on again.
Jason Nagel then removed Herbert with the third ball of his 24th over and it appeared the Panthers had stolen defeat from the jaws of victory. Rosebud obviously celebrated like they had just won the grand final. Who can blame them. However, little did we know at that point that the match was far from finished. Pearcedale sent the Buds back into bat and at one stage had them 7/8. That’s right, it’s not a misprint. Bryant and Geoff Glaum added some very valuable runs at the end to at least get the Buds to 70. Panthers’ skipper Chris Dew was brilliant, picking-up 7/22. Someone needed to stand up with Gillings unavailable to bowl and Dew stepped to the front of the line. This left Pearcedale with 14 overs to score the 74 runs required for victory. Amazingly, they achieved it in 8.5 overs. Fittingly, Chris Dew (20) was at the crease when the winning runs were made. At the other end was Max Blackburn, who returned to his original club after a spell of playing elsewhere. Whilst Rosebud had thought they had won the match, Pearcedale was always looking to fight it out to the end. They achieved their objective. Pearcedale will now play in District Grade next season.

own millinery creation to win the coveted title. Allowed one entry each, contestants in this category must be a professional or amateur milliner, be 18 years of age or over, and must also supply a model to wear their millinery in the competition who is also 18 years of age or over. A selection of particularly stylish judges have been appointed to oversee proceedings on the fashion stage, including reigning Mrs. Australia Globe,
Becky Branca, fashion stylish Franco Schifilliti, renowned Melbourne stylist Philip Boon, and Melbourne-based milliner, Brett Morley. Some of the fabulous prizes up for grabs on the day include Bayside Shopping Centre gift vouchers, Quest Accommodation packages, a modelling contract with World Supermodel Australia (valued at $3000), as well as gifts and vouchers from trendy labels Herman, Miss Velvet Styling,

The Peninsula on a picnic rug HEAD to Mornington Racecourse the day after Mornington Cup for The Peninsula Picnic - the most extensive food, wine and music gathering ever created on the Mornington Peninsula. The Peninsula’s top chefs and winemakers will take picnickers on a journey of sunset-mellowed wineries and foraging expeditions, curating a feast of locally sourced produce and decadent wines to be enjoyed whilst lounging on picnic rugs with family and friends. We’ve handpicked some of Australia’s best live acts and up-and-coming artists. The Waifs will be bringing their beloved mix of folk, blues and rock sounds, and Something for Kate’s Paul Dempsey will be performing his new solo material for a unique and unmissable treat. The Pierce Brothers will showcase their energetic and exceptional stage presence that has seen them recognised as one of the country’s most exciting young acts. The intoxicatingly romantic folk of Tinpan Orange and the lush sounds of electronic-folk musician Hayden Calnin complete the perfect soundtrack to this event. Enjoy gourmet picnic creations from Terre,
Montalto, European and Melbourne Racing Club executive chef Ian Curley, Terminus at Flinders Hotel, Pope Joan, The Long Table, Dee’s Kitchen, Max’s and DOC or make your own picnic feast from the array of local producers on site. Treat your palate to outstanding wines from nearby wineries Montalto, Crittenden Estate, Circe, Prancing Horse and Merricks General Wine Store. There’ll be plenty of activities for the kids at The Kids Corner including facepainting, maskmaking and paper windmills, and a Lawn Games area for the adults to toss around some boules or play a leisurely game of croquet. With a country harvest atmosphere, and something for everyone, The Peninsula Picnic is the recipe for that perfect family day out this weekend. Tickets from ticketek.com.au or at the gate. $74 for adults, $12 for children 5-17 and children under five admitted FREE. The Peninsula Picnic, Mornington Racecourse March 29, 2015 12 noon-7.30pm
