Push for new reserve Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au PRESSURE is building on South East Water and Mornington Peninsula Shire to create a nature reserve instead of a housing estate on land occupied by an old reservoir at Mt Eliza. Last year the government water authority asked the shire to rezone 2.8 hectares on the corner of Barmah and

Kanya roads, east of Kunyung Rd, for 24 blocks of about 1000 square metres. The shire called for public comment and is likely to consider the matter at its 23 March meeting in Mt Martha. Several of more than 75 submissions point out this part of Mt Eliza has just two inland reserves – Bruce Cameron Reserve (site of Kunyung Preschool) and an uninviting, flood-prone area next to Gunyong Creek.

An open space policy currently being prepared by the shire states peninsula towns or precincts should have at least five per cent open space. Some new subdivisions have 10 per cent. The land was acquired by the state government in the early 1960s for a reservoir to serve a growing Mt Eliza but was decommissioned in the 1990s, as were many other open reservoirs such as Devilbend (near Moorooduc)

and Frankston, both of which are now nature reserves. Frankston’s and Mt Eliza’s reservoirs have become islands of nature surrounded by suburbs. Reservoir neighbours formed a lobby group, Kunyung Residents Group, in late November to push for a reserve. Wildlife experts helping the group have identified 18 species of native birds using the fenced-off land and dam, which has water after rain, as

well as four kinds of skink, two species of blue-tongue lizard, three species of frog, and four mammal species. The land is worth about $450,000 a block, $10.8 million all up. Money would need to be spent to fill and compact the reservoir, install services and build roads, including an extension of Bethanga St, which ends at the southern side of the reservoir land.

$56m for shire ‘Taj Mahal’ David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au

New HQ?: The shire bought Rosebud Central shopping centre in 2012 as an alternative site for an aquatic centre and is now looking at options for its redevelopment including a super office for all staff. Picture: Yanni

Cost: $51.7 million.  Option 5: Move the planning department from Queens St, Mornington, to Besgrove St and leave Hastings as is (community services is based at Hastings). Cost: $23.9 million.  Option 6: Move planning, finance, infrastructure to Wannaeue Place and leave community services at Hastings. Cost: $53.7 million. The report found new or increased shire office accommodation in any location “will provide a temporary stimulus” to the local economy. This does not necessarily apply to Besgrove St, which is some distance from the closest shopping precinct,

Rosebud Plaza, at the beach end of Boneo Rd. The report stated: “Other forms of development, for example, residential, retail or entertainment complexes ... will provide the same temporary stimulus but in addition will provide an ongoing stimulus to the local economy by providing a permanent increase in demand for goods and services.” However, “the organisational efficiency benefits achieved through colocation of staff are not justified given the high capital cost necessary [to achieve this] and the very long payback periods required to recover the cost of the investment”.

It also cautions that moving staff to a Wannaeue Place office “will in part be matched by the reduction in demand for the goods and services being sourced in existing office locations ...” Factors such as ease of access – buses run past Wannaeue Place and loop into Mornington – are considered. Major “threats” to all six proposals were “negative community perceptions” and “reduced capacity to implement current capital works programs”. The report concluded variously that its results were “…informed by the selection of the evaluation criteria... It is acknowledged that it is possible to reach another conclusion depending on the weightings given to the evaluation criteria or, if appropriate, other criteria [are] adopted.” “The most advantageous option … is to retain the status quo”, which provided an office in each shire activity centre, whose presence “will continue to provide economic support for and appreciation by their respective local communities”. “In theory, [amalgamating the three offices] would offer some administration efficiencies and … cost savings”. But these benefits “do not readily justify the high capital expenditure required. It is considered there are better new private and council investment options available to broaden the commercial offer to Rosebud [Wannaeue Place].” The report did not explore these options.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire would have to spend $56.5 million to build new headquarters in Rosebud or $51.7 million at Mornington. The shire bought Rosebud Central shopping centre on Wannaeue Place in 2012 as a possible site for Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) and is now looking at housing all shire staff there. Employees would be moved from the shire’s three existing offices in Besgrove St, Rosebud; Queen St, Mornington; and Marine Parade, Hastings. Councillors were briefed about the radical change to shire office arrangements on Monday last week. They have been offered six options ranging from retaining the three offices – which would include spending almost $10 million on upgrades to all three buildings – to building a “Taj Mahal” option in Rosebud. The report favours the status quo, questioning any long-term value in a move to Wannaeue Place and providing figures to back the argument that retaining and revamping Besgrove St was the best option. The shire has three offices because of the amalgamation of the former shires of Flinders, Mornington and Hastings. The shire paid more than $8 million for Rosebud Central and adjoining properties in Ninth Ave. Lead tenant at the shopping centre is a supermarket plus a few speciality shops. Its current market

value is estimated at about $4.6 million. SPA was voted off the foreshore last September, largely because it was a non-foreshore dependent facility and contravened state government policy. Councillors directed that plans be drawn up for reinvigorating Rosebud Activity Centre, including the new shire HQ along with mixed use commercial, retail and residential development, possibly incorporating federal and state government services. It was also to accommodate SPA. A new venue to replace Rosebud Memorial Hall was also included, “equivalent to or better than” the hall, which would also be removed from the foreshore as it was “non-coastal dependent”. The aim is to develop the new precinct over several decades. The six options are:  Option 1: The status quo: retain the three offices at Rosebud, Hastings and Mornington. Cost: $9.7 million.  Option 2: Move all four shire departments (planning, finance, infrastructure, and community services) to the main office in Besgrove St, Rosebud. Only infrastructure and finance are currently based at Rosebud. Cost: $25.9 million.  Option 3: Move all departments to a new complex at Wannaeue Place. Cost: $56.5 million.  Option 4: Move all departments to a new Mornington office in Civic Reserve (the planning department is at the existing Mornington office in Queen St, built in the early 1960s).

Political points scoring over hospital expansion Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au

Doing the rounds: Patient Jeanette Murphy, left, Health Minister Jill Hennessy, Peninsula Health chief operating officer Brendon Gardner, Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke, Channel 9 reporter Andrew Lund and Peninsula Health chairwoman Nancy Hogan at the official opening of Frankston Hospital’s new building. Picture: Gary Sissons

New hospital wing opened THE opening of Frankston’s Hospital’s new $81 million building has been hailed “an important milestone� by Peninsula Health. Health Minister Jill Hennessy visited the hospital last Tuesday (17 February) to officially open the new emergency department and three additional wards. Patients began being accepted to the new wards last Thursday. “The opening of this new building marks an important milestone in

Frankston Hospital’s proud 74 year history. The last five years have seen more than $150 million invested in capital works for critical care, emergency medicine, and general medical services,� Peninsula Health chairwoman Nancy Hogan said. Known as Frankston Stage 3, the new Building A includes a new emergency department, a coronary care unit and two general wards. Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams said “this significant development

to Frankston Hospital is designed to address the acute health needs across the fast-growing Mornington Peninsula region.� “Not only are the facilities and equipment amongst the best available, the quality of care from a patient’s perspective remains at the heart of this project.� The three new wards have single and double rooms with ensuite bathrooms and communal areas for visitors.

THE opening of Frankston Hospital’s new $81 million emergency department last week was marred by political bickering. As part of the spoils of Labor’s state election victory in November, Health Minister Jill Hennessy attended the opening of the new emergency department. The new emergency department houses 49 beds and the new hospital wing has three additional wards with 92 new beds. Ms Hennessy attacked the former Coalition state government at the emergency department’s official opening event last Tuesday morning. “Under the Liberals, our health system was in crisis and too many patients were waiting too long for treatment, including here on the peninsula,� she said. “The Andrews Labor government is working hard to rebuild our health system, with a $200 million boost to find and open the beds and theatres that the Liberals closed.� Liberal opposition deputy leader Gordon Rich-Phillips fired back with some political shots of his own. “It’s great to see this project come to fruition. Not only was this project delivered on time, it was delivered 10 per cent under budget, which meant savings of over $8 million were able to be re-invested in new

services for the hospital,� he said. “Unfortunately due to the Andrews Labor government dumping the state’s building watchdog’s Construction Code Compliance Unit, Victorians are unlikely to ever see projects like these being delivered within budget and on time under a Labor government.� Turning his sights on the new Premier, Mr Rich-Phillips accused Daniel Andrews of being “inextricably linked to the unions and the CFMEU�. “The scrapping of this unit is just part of his union payback. This means dodgy deals, weak compromises and more uncertainty for Victorian families.� Frankston Hospital’s much-needed expansion had looked like being one of the few instances of bipartisanship between the state Labor and Liberal parties before the latest bout of political pot shots broke out. The hospital’s redevelopment began under the former Bracks Labor government and works and funding continued under the Coalition Napthine government which lost the state election last November. When in opposition, both major parties relentlessly criticise ambulance ramping times and patient wait times in emergency, and then praise any statistical improvements when in government.

Get the message: Amnesty International members Alice Opper and Kevin Bain hand out information about Australia’s detention policies to passersby on the streets of Frankston. Picture: Gary Sissons

‘Put children first’ plea to both parties AMNESTY International has condemned both sides of Australian politics for the ongoing detention of children in offshore immigration processing centres. The federal Liberal and Labor parties blame each other for the situation (‘Refugees ‘blame game’’, The News 17/2/15) but the human rights watch group is critical of each party. Amnesty International peninsula branch spokesman Kevin Bain said Dunkley MP and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson’s attempt to discredit The Forgotten Children report by the Australian Human Rights Commission “is weak political gamesmanship”. “The government sat on the report for three months, tabling it on the last possible day,” Mr Bain said. “Eight former Australians of the Year, including experts in children and mental health such as Fiona Stanley and Patt McGorry, marked Australia Day this year by signing a plea for all children to be released.” Mr Bain said in the UK, the responsible Minister cannot detain a child for longer than 7 days, yet the average period for children and

adults in locked detention facilities in Australia is 426 days. He said giving “discretionary power” to immigration ministers, no matter which political party is in power, reduced asylum seekers’ rights. “Labor also has hardly showered itself with glory over its past policies and performance. Will Isaacs federal

MP Mark Dreyfus grasp the nettle and support this proposal which puts the interests of children first?” According to the latest federal Coalition government figures, 135 children remain in detention on Nauru and a further 333 are being detained in immigration centres on the Australian mainland.

When the boat comes in ‌ MAIN St Mornington will be a hive of activity today (Tuesday) as locals welcome passengers from the P&O cruise liner Pacific Pearl. The 63,875-tonne ship is due to arrive from Eden, on the NSW south coast, at 8am and berth about 1.6km off shore – weather permitting – or 3.2km out if it is too rough near shore. Its 1800 passengers will be ferried to shore in tenders for a day’s sightseeing and shopping in the town, bus trips to Sorrento and Portsea, drinking at wineries, as well as dolphin, swimming and paddling excursions. A Plan B scenario, if seas are too rough in Port Phillip Bay, is for the ship to be diverted to Stony Point in Western Port. There will be no change to itineraries, with passengers still visiting the same peninsula sights by bus and Mornington as planned. The ship will sail for Portland at 5pm, arriving at the western end of the Great Ocean Rd at 7am the next day when guests will have the opportunity to explore the port’s maritime history or see nearby Cape Bridgewater’s fur seals before departing for Kangaroo Island, off South Australia, and then back to Sydney. The eight-night itinerary to regional towns is a first for the cruise line – and a boon to the peninsula - with an expected five visits over the next 12 months injecting around $150,000 per visit into the local economy. Chamber of Commerce spokesperson Kim Rowe – who met twice with P&O executives to plan the reception - said roving musicians would entertain passengers strolling along Main St during the stopover. She said Mornington Secondary College drum band would play outside K-Mart, Southern Sound would play Australiana songs, and there would be glass blowers, stilt walkers, a herd of alpacas, Aboriginal paintings from Baluk Arts, face painting, sausage sizzle and tables of home-made products for passengers to buy and enjoy. Beleura Hill Rd is tipped as the best vantage point for viewing the ship and its passengers’

comings and goings – or the Matthew Flinders Lookout at Mt Martha if the ship is further out. Restrictions on parking at the boat ramp and minimal car spaces will make parking difficult any nearer the boat harbour. “We are going to put on a real show for them,� Ms Rowe said. “We encourage as many locals as possible to come along and welcome the passengers. They are providing a massive injection into the local economy and we want to show them how great we are.� Ms Rowe said the 1800 passengers would be a huge boost to the average Tuesday visitor numbers. She said the chamber would survey passengers on the perceived highs and lows of their visit before they embarked. “We want to show that we care and to be continually raising the bar to this kind of tourism.� P&O Cruises senior vice president Tammy Marshall said the maiden visits come as P&O Cruises builds its presence in Victoria. “We’re thrilled to be taking our guests to some of Victoria’s most beautiful coastal areas, while also spreading the valuable cruise dollar further in what is sure to be a boon for these regional towns,� she said.

Max’s music honours Anzac spirit YEAR 10 student Max Dollard-Fahler is jet setting to Canberra to represent Mornington Secondary College in commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli in World War I. Shortlisted as one of 28 finalists in the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac prize for his musical composition honouring the Gallipoli landing, Max received the award at a ceremony at Parliament House earlier this month. There he showcased a musical composition he was inspired to write by the soldiers’ experience. The quintet piece explores the themes of loyalty, mateship, courage and endurance. “It is actually the first piece [of music] I have written myself,� he said. “I was inspired by Gustav Holst’s ‘Mars, the Bringer of War’ in two of the movements and, in the final movement, I drew inspiration from Billy Joel’s ‘Goodnight Saigon’, particularly the chorus.� Winning the award as the nation commemorates the 100th anniversary of the landing was special to Max, with the 16 year old reflecting on why he regards Anzac Day as the most importance day in Australia’s history. “It’s a day that commemorates 100 years since a nation, that had only been federated 14 years earlier, sent its sons and daughters to a country that a lot of them would not have even known existed,� he said. “They landed in the wrong spot but we still got on with the job. “The determination and the valour that the troops displayed on the beaches on what later would become known as Anzac Cove is evermore present in our current generation and it’s an important day for all Australians and New Zealanders.� Before his tour of the Shrine and viewing of the ‘Anzac Centenary - Victorian during World War I’ piece, Max rubbed shoulders with dignitaries at the event. “I was congratulated by the head of the

Rubbing shoulders: Max Dollard-Fahler with Victorian Anzac Centenary Committee chairman Ted Baillieu at Parliament House.

Victorian RSL, David McLachlan, and Major General Paul McLachlan, who has had involvement in Iraq, Solomon Islands and Afghanistan.� Mornington Secondary College Humanities coordinator Rob Althorp commended Max’s work in producing a memorable piece of work which illustrates the continuing importance of this historical event to all Australians. “Max showed that history is important to understanding not just national character, but also that the narrative of Gallipoli can inform notions of personal strength, courage, commitment and mateship,� he said

“He did his school and community proud.� Before Max heads to Canberra in June he will perform his musical piece to the local community as well as attending various commemoration ceremonies across the state. “I have been invited to the Premier’s Anzac Day lunch with 300 people at the National Gallery of Victoria and the Dawn Service at the Shrine,� he said. “I’m hoping to be able to perform it on Anzac Day at the Mornington commemorations as well as the Anzac Day service at Mornington Secondary College.� Stephen Taylor

Developers push for bandicoot delisting ANALYSIS By Mike Hast FEDERAL Environment minister Greg Hunt has rejected claims his government is trying to take the southern brown bandicoot off the threatened species list. He was responding to an article published in The News last month (“Feds move to delist threatened bandicoot”). “The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (TSSC) is conducting an independent assessment of 80 species, including the southern brown bandicoot, as part of its normal process,” he told The News in a statement. But an investigation by The News has found that the bandicoot is one of just five species being considered firstup by the committee and the only one being considered for delisting. Its potential delisting has been triggered by a number of housing development referrals to the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act and the claim by some scientists that the bandicoot is doing well at a few locations around Australia – including in the Grampians and East Gippsland – after removal of red foxes and feral cats, bandicoots predators. The same developers who lobbied the Victorian government to weaken bandicoot protection protocols in Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs last year have sparked the federal process. Scientists are warning that removing the bandicoot from the protected list could create a “yo-yo effect” – less money will be available for fox and

cat control, which will see more bandicoots killed, so it will have to be relisted and populations will rise again, and then another attempt will be made to delist it. Delisting the bandicoot could lead to what occurred in the municipalities of Kingston and Frankston where the bandicoot is now extinct. It is extremely rare on the Mornington Peninsula. Travelling between Melbourne and Arthurs Seat in the 1850s, naturalist

in the region – at Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne and in undeveloped parts of Koo Wee Rup at the northern end of Western Port. A third population on Quail Island in Western Port has been decimated by wild pigs released on the island by hunters. Many scientists and conservationists say the claim that bandicoot numbers are on the rise is misleading. This is occurring in a few isolated areas but the overwhelming cause of continued

Horace Wheelwright said the region was teeming with “bandicotes’’. Until the late 1980s, bandicoots could be found in good numbers in the sand belt and southeastern suburbs such as Beaumaris, Braeside, Oakleigh, Clayton, Springvale and Frankston as well as on the peninsula. But housing subdivisions resulted in loss of habitat and an increase in predators such as foxes and cats. Just two viable populations remain

decline of bandicoots is the deliberate and bureaucratically endorsed bulldozing of the species’ habitat. Academic Brian Chambers recently wrote: “The EPBC Act mandates that any development that negatively impacts on biodiversity must be offset so there is no net loss of biodiversity as a result of the development. Clearly the legislation or its implementation is failing in that regard and the offsets provide by developers are not working ... government departments responsible for ‘protecting’ our natural heritage [must] resolve to make the system work ... because there aren’t many places left to go except onto the list of extinct species.” Twenty-nine Australian land mammals have become extinct over the past 200 years, the worst record in the world, and 56 are currently facing extinction. These losses and potential losses represent more than a third of the 315 species present at the time of European settlement. Mr Hunt said he had asked the Department of Environment to extend the consultation period until the end of February “to ensure it has all the relevant information from the community”. “I encourage anyone with information on the species to make a submission. The views of all parties will be considered by the committee. People can make a submission at www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/nominations/comment “I remain vigilant about protecting the southern brown bandicoot.”

LETTERS Don’t ban dogs I am extremely concerned about the actions of one group attempting to take over the beaches of the southern peninsula for a minority group that suggest that the reduced breeding of the hooded plover is due to the presence of dogs. There are other factors that probably have a greater effect, such as foxes and cats, that are prevalent on the beaches at dusk and before dawn. Silver gulls and ravens also are known attack nests. Further, the effects of high tide on nests is obvious as the spring tides often swamp the ocean beaches and nesting areas. I acknowledge that a few dog owners disobey the restrictions however, these people disregard the rules at any time and should not be used as a measure to penalise the majority of responsible dog owners. I have been using the ocean beaches to exercise myself and my dog for more than 20 years. Martin Dixon [Nepean MP] suggests the beaches should be maintained for “all Victorians” . He should visit Sorrento back beach before 9am on any day all year and observe the majority of those using the beach are exercising themselves and their dogs. These people generally live nearby to be within walking distance of our beautiful coastline. The plan to deny dog owners the right to exercise themselves and their companion dogs on ocean beaches will seriously reduce their healthy lifestyle. Some suggest all dogs can be exercised in designated areas such us at Cameron’s Bight. However, this means driving there and trying to park in an already congested area. The current restrictions are enough, any move to deny dog owners the

only remaining access to our ocean coast will be strongly resisted. John Atchison, Sorrento

Plight is official The hooded plover could be considered the iconic fauna species of the Mornington Peninsula. This diminutive shore bird selectively favours our ocean beaches where over the busy breeding season from September to April it occupies specific breeding territories to lay its eggs. The exposed nests are usually found above the high tide mark on the beach or dune and are incubated for 28 days. The chicks that hatch must survive for 35 days, feeding along the shoreline before they are able to fly. The threats to their survival are numerous. Many nests are washed away by high tides and large swells. Eggs and chicks can be predated by a host of species including, ravens, gulls, magpies, foxes, cats, dogs and various birds of prey. Nests and chicks can be inadvertently crushed by humans, dogs, horses and beach vehicles. Chicks can starve because disturbance prevents them feeding and nests can fail because disturbance keeps adults from incubating the eggs. As a result only one of the 34 chicks that hatched in the 2013-/14 breeding season on the Mornington Peninsula survived to fly away. According to Grainne Maguire, project manager of BirdLife Australia’s Beach-nesting Team, this attraction to our beaches may be to the detriment of the species. Of the 28 coastal reserves and national parks managed by Parks Victoria, Mornington Peninsula National Park (MPNP) has the largest number of hooded plovers. From recent surveys, we know there are about 35 breeding pairs plus ad-

ditional birds actively competing for these prime territories. So from an estimated Victorian population of 550 birds, the Mornington Peninsula is home to about 12 per cent of the total population. However, this is the dilemma. According to Dr Maguire’s research, of all the reserves and national parks managed by Parks Victoria, MPNP experiences the lowest rate of chick survival. Birds are actively and preferentially taking up breeding sites on peninsula beaches that have very poor likelihood of success. In November 2014, the federal environment listing of the hooded plover was upgraded to “vulnerable” under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, thus officially recognising the perilous position of this species. Presently, a coordinated strategy between BirdLife Australia, Parks Victoria and the volunteer association Friends of the Hooded Plover is working to maintain and hopefully improve the survivability of the Mornington Peninsula population for the long term. Mark Lethlean, Friends of the Hooded Plover, Red Hill

Top treatment I often read complaints about public hospitals and I now wonder is it because we are very quick to criticise but too slow to speak up when we experience good things. On a recent visit to family in Tootgarook I experienced chest pain and ended up at Rosebud Hospital. I cannot praise the staff there highly enough and would like to publicly thank them, especially Megan and Richard in the emergency department and Dawn who volunteers there. At all times I was treated with

friendliness, courtesy and efficiency. My pain went after a while but I was still given a series of tests and kept in until the staff were fully satisfied that I was fine. If I ever need to go to a hospital again I hope it's one like Rosebud. Cathy McGinness, Darwin

Suburban sight I am increasingly concerned about the fact that many houses being constructed on the southern Mornington Peninsula are basically boundary to boundary, necessitating the removal of all vegetation. I am aware that under fire regulations post Black Saturday, clearing may be done without a permit to 10 metres from the house. However, the long-term effects on streetscapes are indeed depressing. Do we really want the southern peninsula to look like a (very) average Melbourne suburb? Rosemary Tipping, Blairgowrie

Beacon no more Once upon a time not so long ago Australia was a beacon of freedom and humanity in the southern hemisphere. This has all changed with our treatment of refugees and the economically disadvantaged in our own society being routinely persecuted by outsourced or privatised services once run by the public service. All these changes have been slowly foisted on our society by successive Labor and Liberal/National governments under the guise of improving things. It seems it is OK for governments to attack anyone who spells out the truth about our dismal behaviour against minorities or refugees and the disadvantaged. The latest example is the rants of our

beloved leader Tony Abbott against the Human Rights Commission. It's high time we have an election and stop this merciless drive to the bottom by the economic rationalists in both old political parties. It is imperative to change course and stop the possible fragmentation of our society. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Lax food laws In light of the recent outbreak of hepatitus A due to eating imported foods I would like to warn people that if the food is not labelled "Made in Australia" then it is almost certainly imported. If it is labelled "Made in Australia from local and imported ingredients" then, again, it is almost certainly fully imported. Even some foods "Made in NZ" are of Chinese origin. Labels stating that the company is 100 per cent Australian owned are meaningless, even deceptive. Some Chinese (and other) food crops are grown using human excrement as fertiliser and when it rains this splashes onto the food which you eat. Many countries use dangerous pesticides that are banned here. Health and food safety standards in many of these countries are lax to say the least. For continual good health, for heavens sake, eat only Australian grown and processed food. Our very high standards ensure your food is safe. A bonus is that you keep Australians in jobs and not on the dole. You may need to carry a magnifying glass because our governments still refuse to pass laws to clearly state country of origin of the food. Apparently they prefer us to be sick and diseased rather than offend our trading partners Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

An oasis for critters KUNYUNG Residents Group founder Rebecca Taylor says the reservoir land could be a wildlife oasis in a sea of houses. The group has the backing of several high-profile conservationists and scientists including botanist Dr Jeff Yugovic, world renowned zoologist Hans Brunner, and South East Centre for Sustainability president Steve Karakitsos. More than 250 residents signed a petition calling on the shire to not rezone the land. Hans Brunner has suggested reducing the height of the reservoir walls, creating an island in a lake one metre deep, planting the surrounds with indigenous plants and trees, and declaring the area “land for wildlife”. “The good populations of frogs indicates clean water,” he said. Ms Taylor said the land could have exploration trails, picnic areas and a small wetland. “It could be a place for environmental studies where children could learn about flora and fauna including insects, birds and pond-life.” She said nature had taken over the land, which was largely free of weeds. “South East Water and the shire have a great opportunity to create a rare nature reserve.” Mr Karakitos said a reserve would provide “wildlife habitat, access to recreation, scenic views, passive recreation, and compatible parks and recreation facilities”. “This is a great opportunity for a community-led project that would safeguard and enhance local biodiversity and preserve a cherished part of the area,” he said. “A nature reserve would counterbalance urban sprawl. It would be one of few public reserves in the area.” Kunyung Residents Group’s Facebook page is at: www.facebook.com/ KunyungSaysNo Mike Hast

Sylvan spot: The decommissioned and empty South East Water reservoir in Mt Eliza has become an oasis for fauna and flora (inset).

Push for new reserve gathers momentum Continued from Page 1 The land cost the government 9000 pounds ($18,000) in the early 1960s. It had been bought by transport magnate Reg Ansett for 28,000 pounds as an alternative site to part of his land identified by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission for the reservoir. Mr (later Sir Reginald) Ansett fought

the commission for four years before buying 25 blocks in a 1924 subdivision (one block, which fronts Kunyung Rd, contains a SEW pumping station that will stay). The government paid Mr Ansett just 9000 pounds, the value of his land where the commission wanted to build the reservoir. Last year the shire asked SEW to con-

sider including social housing on 20-30 per cent of the land. In a long-winded and repetitive reply, SEW said no, stating that providing land for social housing was not a function of the corporation; the land was too far from community, recreational, education and other services as well as public transport; and was unsuitable for high-density public

housing. SEW wants to maximise the return from its land and has stated the proposed sale has nothing to do with its $70 million, eight-storey headquarters being built in Frankston, its letter to the shire about social housing stated: “The land was purchased with public money and SEW is obliged to return the highest sale price... The loss of saleable lots

or the making of a financial contribution towards the provision of social housing would impact the economic return on the sale of the land to the detriment of SEW and its ongoing operations to which profit from land sales would contribute. This would negatively impact the responsibility the corporation owes its customers.”

Important changes to Emergency at Frankston Hospital All patients requiring urgent treatment must now present to the new Emergency Department in Building A at Frankston Hospital.

Access is from Gate 2 on Hastings Road. Medicentre is now also located here. Short-term parking is available directly outside and paid parking is nearby.

NEW LOCATION Our landmark $80 million Frankston Stage 3 development provides 92 beds, three new wards and the new Emergency Department which is two and a half times the size of our old facility. These exciting changes are allowing us to progressively upgrade older areas of the hospital to improve patient comfort and amenity. It’s all part of our commitment to building a healthy community, in partnership, for residents of the Mornington Peninsula.

Eagles soar over shops, freeway THE sound of screeching seagulls is nothing new over the shops at Mt Martha. The birds are masters of the air and making the trip across the road from beach to scavenging on the footpath is just a wingbeat away. But on a Sunday afternoon in early January a glance upwards would have shown shoppers that the screeching of the gulls had nothing to do with squabbles over food. Not too far above the shops glided a wedgetailed eagle, its characteristic silhouette raising alarm among the birds underneath. Sightings of Australia’s largest bird of prey are becoming more common on the Mornington Peninsula, although they may have always been unseen, hunting above paddocks now dissected by Peninsula Link (which also provides a larder of roadkill). “Just as we drove onto the beginning of Peninsula Link on our way to Dromana today, I was amazed to see a young wedge-tailed eagle fly up from next to the road,” BirdLife Mornington Peninsula member Gillian Barnett has reported earlier this month. “It swept in a semi-circle and alighted in a eucalypt nearby. Lucky I wasn't the one driving so I could have a good look. “I calculated we were inland from Seaford or, if anything, closer to town than that. Perhaps it is looking for a territory of its own?” Another Birdlife member, Mike Carter, reported a pair of wedge-tailed eagles near the Eastern Treatment Plant, Braeside, on 25 January. The birds are also a common sight from the leash-free area at Citation Oval, Mt Martha, as they ride the thermals above properties between Nepean Highway and the Moorooduc Highway. Birdlife president Max Burrows said the eagles had large territories and had previously been known to nest at Main Ridge, Red Hill and Arthurs Seat. “I have seen them fly over my place at Langwarrin,” he said. “I don’t think they have much competition on the peninsula, but they would be

limited [in numbers] by the availability of prey.” Mr Burrows said wedge-tails preferred live prey, mainly rabbits, to carrion. Sue Brabender, information ranger at The Briars Park, Mt Martha, said a pair of wedgetailed eagles has a nest on private property near the The Briars. “They have one large juvenile so we are still seeing all three or just two of them regularly across The Briars. Ms Brabender said the trio had also been seen with a fourth “ring-in” and on a recent Friday morning she photographed an eagle being harassed by magpies as it sat in the top of a dead tree near the old quarry half way along the entry driveway to the visitors centre. “Of course it was not concerned,” she said. “I have also watched them disappear across Nepean Highway and hope people's small pets are safely concealed.” Keith Platt

‘Weak biolinks’ court challenge GREEN Wedges Coalition is challenging the federal Environment Department’s decision to allow significant urban expansion in Melbourne’s southeast without adequate protection of the iconic southern brown bandicoot. The coalition, represented by Environmental Justice Australia (formerly Environment Defenders Office), will go to the Federal Court in late June seeking to overturn federal approval of a state government plan to allow development in an expanded Urban Growth Boundary. The Napthine Coalition government approved housing developments on land near Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne last year but removed promised wildlife corridors, or biolinks, after complaints from developers, in particular the Property Council of Australia, about the strategy’s costs. Last March the state government removed habitat corridors but reinstated them after pressure from scientists, conservationists and bureaucrats. One biolink was meant to run from the botanic gardens south to Western Port’s Quail Island, where until recently there was a viable population of bandicoots after red fox and feral cat removal in recent years. The second was to connect the botanic gardens with bandicoot-rich Koo Wee Rup swamp and surrounds. But Green Wedges Coalition says the reinstated corridors are weak. The draft Sub-Regional Species Strategy for the Southern Brown Bandicoot contained 200-metre wide corridors but this was cut to 80 metres wide, 30 metres of bush with 25-metre fire breaks on each side. Now the only corridors in the plan are powerline easements and creeklines, insufficient

to allow bandicoots to travel without being killed by predators. The weaker corridor plan was approved last year by Senator Simon Birmingham, then Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment, after Environment Minister Greg Hunt excused himself from making the decision, claiming he had a history with the issue and is MP for the area where the last bandicoots live. Rosemary West of Green Wedges Coalition said if Senator Birmingham’s decision was allowed to go unchallenged, “the southern brown bandicoot could become extinct in the southeast”. “This is poor planning that will lead to the loss of green space, and potentially the loss of some of our dearly loved endangered native species such as the bandicoot, growling grass frog and rare orchids.” Mike Hast

Festival hits right note Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Frankston welcome: Tony Abbott supporter Iris Davis makes a point to the Prime Minister last Thursday.

PM escapes leadership woes PRIME Minister Tony Abbott made a flying visit to Frankston last Thursday afternoon, leaving behind rampant Liberal Party leadership speculation in Canberra, for “an afternoon tea with community members”. Mr Abbott addressed the invited guests - including Liberal Party members, school principals and council representatives - at Frankston RSL flanked by Dunkley MP and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson. Mr Billson has been highly visible in his support for the embattled Prime Minister both before and after this month’s failed Liberal leadership spill vote last Monday (8 February). Mr Billson told The News he knew the Prime Minister would be visiting Frankston “a few weeks ago”. Mr Abbott made certificate presentations to the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Shire citizens of the year recognised by their respective councils on Australia Day. “It was an opportunity to convey thanks and

appreciation to the selfless individuals who contribute a great deal to the wellbeing and vitality of our community,” Mr Billson said. “Beyond that he mingled for about an hour with the people who were present.” “It’s a key priority for us ... it’s very much in the frame of the government’s agenda for the year ahead. The message I get is ‘get on with it’ ... we’ve got a plan that the nation needs,” Mr Billson said. He insisted “we’ve got an experienced and stable team” despite the leadership speculation this month. “We’ve got some runs on the board already with the abolition of the carbon tax, the re-establishment of proper border protection arrangements and infrastructure projects. “The best thing we can do is knuckle down, get on with it and lift our performance.” Media was invited to attend the afternoon tea at Frankston RSL to take photographs but was advised Mr Abbott would be making “remarks” and would not be taking questions at the event.

THE Between the Bays festival at Penbank School on Saturday is more than just a music treat - it has a much higher calling… Money raised goes towards fostering the close relationship between the Moorooduc school and Wugularr Primary School in the Northern Territory. It helps pay for the airfares, accommodation, food and activities of the Aboriginal students who visit Penbank on cultural exchanges and for the whole Wugubank partnership - an amalgam of the schools’ names. Popular singer James Reyne will headline this year’s festival, alongside Mark Seymour, Custard, Wagons, Sweet Jean, Combo La Revelacion, Indiginous Hip Hop Projects and The Billabong Boys. Penbank enrolment and development manager Paul Thompson said The Billabong Boys – students at Wugularr School - would be making their first appearance and promised they would be a big hit with the family centric crowd. “This is a great family festival. It’s safe for children with a range of rides, performers, creative arts workshops and treats,” he said. The Between the Bays Festival came about in 2005 after a 40-acre farm at the rear was bought by the school and one of the parents – none other than James Reyne – suggested it would be a nice spot for a music festival. About 600 attended the first gig but that figure has risen with the festival’s popularity to up to 5000. In 2006, one of the Penbank teachers moved to the Wugularr School for a two-year stint. “Our school has always had a great interest in indigenous culture,” Mr Thompson said. “We have since built a strong rapport with the school and the students, and ever since have been visiting each other annually.

Helping out: Paul Thompson has been organising the between the Bays festival since 2005, with proceeds being used to further the “Wugubank” partnership.

“The whole idea of the partnership is a friendship between the two schools. It is all about breaking down prejudice and being able to relate first-hand to different ways of living. “Some of our kids who first went to Wugularr continue to maintain their friendships with the children long into their secondary school years. “Each year the friendships evolve, and we know that this is now non-negotiable. We are committed to the continuation of the program because it is so important to be the best role models in the way we teach our children about Aboriginal Australia. “We aim to raise as much money as we can for our Wugubank partnership.” Mr Thompson said artists were paid at reduced rates because of their commitment to the partnership. The Between the Bays festival is on Saturday at Penbank School, Rickards Rd, Moorooduc. Gates open at 1pm and the first act is at 2pm; the last act will finish at 10.30pm. The event is strictly no alcohol. For tickets visit betweenthebays.com with Melissa Hodge

Call for input to volunteers survey

What’s the point: Mornington and Somers petanque players discuss a point during the match that eventually ended in a draw. Picture:Tony Duboudin

Getting on the piste in Somers IT was a full piste at Garden Square, Somers, last week when the Somers Garden Square Petanque Club hosted the Mornington Peninsula club to a friendly match and barbecue. With close to 40 players taking part there were five teams from each club playing a closely contested afternoon

of petanque which resulted in a draw: 7-7 games each and with one game tied. The afternoon follows on the previous week when Somers visited St Andrews Beach for a friendly competition. That time Somers did not do so well winning only one game.

Somers club president Stephen Brown said the afternoon was a great success. “The result showed that Somers club is competitive. Most importantly everyone both clubs had an enjoyable afternoon in ideal conditions.” Tony Duboudin

MORNINGTON Peninsula shire wants to hear from volunteers, those looking for volunteer roles, and organisations and community groups involved with volunteers. It is seeking to get a better picture of how volunteering contributes to the community and how the shire supports volunteering. Volunteering Mornington Peninsula is reviewing how the shire supports volunteering and civic participation in our community and wants feedback and ideas from the community. Information collected in March will go into a Status of Volunteering Report 2015 – the basis of a Mornington Peninsula Shire Volunteering Strategy. Residents completing and returning their Volunteering on the Mornington Peninsula survey by 20 March will go into the draw for a chance to win an $80 gift voucher at either a Ritchies IGA store, Mt Martha Golf Course, Pelican Park Recreation Centre or Peninsula Hot Springs. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the shire recognised volunteers made a significant contribution to many essential community, environmental, sporting and cultural services and support activities. “A volunteering strategy will guide how the shire can support, promote and celebrate volunteering over the next four years,” she said. Volunteers and community organisations are also invited to contribute

ideas about how to increase and support volunteering in the community at one of two workshops. These will be held 2-4pm and 6-8pm, on Monday 2 March. Light refreshments and networking opportunities will be held for 30 minutes after the afternoon session and before the evening session. To book one of the workshops call 5950 1685 or email vmp@mornpen. vic.gov.au The survey can be found at mornpen.vic.gov.au/Your_Say or at a shire customer service centre or library. Copies will also be available in some community houses and community support and information centres.

Sideswiped MORNINGTON police are looking for the driver of a car which sideswiped a Mazda 2 sedan in the car park on Octavia St behind the Bank of Melbourne. Senior Constable Ryan Fraser said the Mazda was extensively damaged in the incident which occurred 2-5pm, Monday 9 February. Damage to the driver’s side door and rear panel would cost “a couple of thousand to repair”, he said. Anyone with information should call Mornington police on 5970 4900.

No hairs on these feathered feeders ALTHOUGH the leaf and fruit hairs of London plane trees can cause physical irritation to humans, corellas are not bothered at all. The London plane trees planted in main St, Mornington are proving irresistible to flocks of corellas which are covering the footpath with leaves and bits of fruit as they gorge themselves on the seasonal offering. The City of Melbourne has stopped using Lon-

don planes because of their effects on humans and is instead using the more robust oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis ‘Digitata’) which has fewer fine hairs on its leaves and is not regarded as an irritant. London plane trees (Platanus x acerifolia) make up almost 12 per cent of tree population in the City of Melbourne. Picture: Jason Richardson

Festive start for environment week AN Environment Week Festival being held at The Briars Park, Mt Martha, will lead into this year’s School’s Environment Week. The festival 11am-4pm Sunday 15 March will be held in an “expo paddock” near the visitors centre. The family day will have activities and information about the environment and sustainability as well as live entertainment and food stalls. Seaweed Sally will provide information about the marine environment while Andrew Wegener will explain Australian wildlife. Alpacas and other farm animals will be on hand to be patted. Mornington Peninsula Shire will hand out free trees grown by Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises. Other activities include The Connies giving out information cards, a Landcare puppet show, CFA

Fire Safety, face painting and friends groups’ activities. Representatives of Mornington, Rosebud and Dromana community gardens will talk about gardening in the same marquee as the 2pm-4pm “home harvest exchange” of organically grown fruit, vegetables, herbs, eggs, honey, preserves and seedlings. Tours will also be available of The Briars woodland/wetland, homestead heritage gardens and the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society observatory. Tips on sustainable living will be handed out in the Eco House. This festival is sponsored by the shire and run by volunteers who also organise the Schools Environment Week 16-19 March.

No threat from ‘stick’ that thrives on leaves WARM weather and heavy rain in different parts of Australia has encouraged all sorts of wildlife to venture out – especially insects. The stick insect is one to make the most of the fresh new leaves growing after the rain. “Make the most of the stick insect boom at the moment, because normally you will walk past them without even realising they’re there,” Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife CEO Susanna Bradshaw said. “Keep your eyes open and see if you can spot these remarkable - and harmless - insects as they should be more active now. You might even see the little baby nymphs running around.”

The placid vegetarians are found right across Australia. They come in various shapes, sizes and colours, which are designed to help them blend into their surroundings. “Gardeners commonly run into these intriguing insects when they accidentally disturb them while pruning,” Ms Bradshaw said. “You also have a good chance of spotting them after heavy rain or wind, when they can get knocked out of their treetop homes. “Stick insects are quiet, solitary creatures who enjoy their own company so don’t worry, you won’t see swarms of stick insects eating your trees,” Ms Bradshaw said.

Eating out: The spur legged stick insect is just one of the varieties of stick insects finding food in the garden at this time of year.

Poppies project honours Anzac heroes A GROUP of keen volunteers at Frankston Library are well on their way to finishing 5000 handcrafted poppies to contribute to an Anzac Centenary Commemoration ceremony at Federation Square in Melbourne on Anzac Day in April. Group coordinator Judi McKinna said the Frankston volunteers initially planned to “make 30 or so” handsewn poppies but decided to contribute 5000 to the project. “Friends kept asking about making a few and it snowballed from there,”

she said. Ms McKinna said some of the volunteers were contributing their time and effort to honour relations in previous relatives who served and in some case lost their lives during World War I. Volunteers all around Victoria will now contribute to a field of more than 100,000 poppies on display in Federation Square as a tribute to Australian servicemen and women for more than a century of service in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. The Frankston group has been

meeting at the library on Wednesday mornings for the past few months “Because it’s the 100th anniversary it’s resounding with everyone so greatly … this is what our country is all about,” Ms McKinna said. Ms McKinna said the statewide project is “up to 120,000 [poppies] at the moment” and the Frankston group has collected about 4500 poppies including contributions from Mt Martha, Mt Eliza, Mornington and Chelsea volunteers.

FOREVER YOUNG New technology offers superhuman hearing

AH0496

AS technology races ahead to enrich every part of our lives, hearing aids have also advanced to almost superhuman proportions. A new hearing aid has been developed that is so powerful that for the first time, wearers can understand speech in demanding environments better than people with normal hearing. Emma Scanlan, Principal Audiologist, Australian Hearing, said the new Binax hearing aids are considered the next wave of all-encompassing technology. “This is an exciting development and another way in which we can support those with hearing loss. The feedback from our clients is unprecedented, and the results have been resounding. They have the ability to hear as clearly as before their hearing loss, in situations that would have been really difficult before,” Emma said. Australian Hearing client Jack Baseley has already witnessed the benefits of the new hearing aids. Since retiring as a teacher and senior education administrator, he’s now involved in volunteer work. Even with the assistance of hearing aids, he still experienced difficulties hearing voices clearly in noisy environments. “What I noticed with the new hearing aids is that I’m hearing with greater precision, they are so clear. They are also much more effective in cutting out background noise and I’m finding my hearing aids far less disruptive and not causing me to miss out on things as much,” Jack said. The new devices are available now at Australian Hearing centres nationwide.

St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital Pet Therapy our patients love it!!

While much of this documentation has been anecdotal, a recent study has demonstrated a strong correlation between the desire to participate in Animal Assisted Therapy and previous pet ownership. Glenda and Bobo – the Christmas Pony Glenda was in inpatient recently for a total hip replacement. Recovery was progressing well, but Glenda was feeling a little ‘down’ and her friend, Maggie thought Glenda needed a ‘boost’ during this Christmas season.

Pets are an integral part of a social support network for many people! The wonderful companionship and bonding that takes place between people and a variety of animals and the resulting healing effect this may have on their well-being is wellknown. Animal Assisted Therapy, a therapy involving patient/ client interactions with animals

is currently used in hospital, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, prisons and private homes. The aim is to improve the participant’s physical, social, emotional and cognitive wellbeing and general functioning. Positive effects for people experiencing loneliness, depression, anxiety, stress and improvement in recovery times from surgery and illness have been documented.

Maggie, unbeknown to Glenda organised a visit from a very special friend of Glenda’s – her miniature Shetland pony. Glenda had bought Bobo a couple of years ago and had formed a close bond with Bobo, visiting the pony daily. She had taken him to St. Macartan’s Parish Primary School to visit the children and was amazed at the response of the children to the pony. Bobo took the admiration and celebrity status in his stride.

Q REHABILITATION HOSPITAL surroundings. Glenda could not believe her eyes when she saw a miniature Shetland pony wander pass her hospital window, and realised that it was her pony Bobo. She grabbed her crutches and raced out to the garden area to meet Bobo and her friend. She said it was the quickest she’d ever moved on crutches! “I can’t tell you how happy I was to see him …. I was on a high … I felt wonderful”. Bobo nuzzled into Glenda when he saw her, then proceeded to check out every inch of Glenda’s leg that had been operated upon. Glenda and Bobo were then joined by many of the patients and visitors who all came over to greet and pat Bobo. This was followed by many of the

caregivers who took a moment to join in the fun, with a few ¶VHOÀHV· RI SK\VLRV DQG %RER ² hitting facebook. Glenda commented that an elderly man spoke to her in the evening and said it had made ‘everybody’s week’. She felt that Bobo’s visit had ‘lifted everybody’s spirit’. Frankston has a dedicated ‘Pet Visiting Area’ and has a volunteer attend on the weekend with a Delta dog. What a great example of how a few people can work together to really make a difference and lift the spirits of someone, who had spent much of her life, lifting the spirits of others with various challenges!

Glenda had spent many years working with intellectually disabled adults and knew WKH EHQHÀWV RI SHW WKHUDS\ particularly in lifting spirits. Maggie, in cahoots with the Frankston CEO, Managers and caregivers organised transportation and a special visit from Bobo in the lovely garden

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Thin khaki line in need of recruits

Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE annual balance sheet and financial statement of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings is published this week on our fourth page. *** A PUBLIC meeting will be held at Brookes’ rooms, Chelsea, on Friday next for the purpose of forming an association of wholesale milk suppliers and also to discuss matters of interest to farmers generally. *** IN order to raise funds for the Belgian Relief Fund Mrs Bay, of Frankston, has donated a guinea doll to be drawn for. The membership to be one penny. The doll is now in Mrs Hay’s fancy shop window, and anyone can become a member by depositing a penny in the box set apart for that purpose. *** ALL shopkeepers are notified by advertisement in another column that they are required to register their shops with the Chief Inspector of Factories on or before 14th March next, under a penalty of £10. It is not intended to give shop keepers any notice other than such advertisement as the one now appearing. *** MR Geo. Davis notifies by advertisement that he has taken over the business lately carried on by Mr A Patterson, of Frankston as a timber merchant, and is prepared to supply everything required in building and house renovating, and also has a good stock of general ironmongery to which he invites inspection.

*** A CONCERT in aid of the organ and choir fund, was held in the Methodist Church, Frankston, on Monday 22nd February. The programme consisted of songs, recitations, and several anthems by the choir. Each item was successfully given and appreciated by the audience. The latter being very much smaller than the object deserved. Mr Dawborne, in the unavoidable absence of the Rev Jackson, acted as chairman, and came in for his share of thanks with all those who had so willingly and successfully assisted. The singing of the National Anthem brought the evening to a close. *** SOMERVILLE Methodist Sunday School. A “record” was the opinion of the superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School regarding the anniversary service held on February 21st and 22nd. On Sunday the Rev J R. Butler of Mornington delighted the congregation with his instructive addresses. The children were specially interested. Their singing was bright and pleasing, and a marked feature of the services. A full church greeted the efforts of the scholars at the entertainment on Monday. The anthems “Hosanna born King” and “The Flag of Britain” were sung vigorously and well. Misses Nellie and Dorothy Reed, and Florrie Vines sang solos. The last

named had her song illustrated by a number of sleepy little girls clad in their nightgowns. Kindergarten songs were sung by the little ones, with Harry Reed as soloist. Recitations by Selma Ohrberg, Ruby and Hazel Twyford, Celia Roberts, Nellie Unthank, Gladys Mentiplay, and Jack Reed, were all given clearly and in good style. A dialogue rendered by 7 senior girls and a male quartette completed the programme. The Rev R. Jackson presented the prizes, the principal of which was won by Florrie Vines and Harold Westaway. Mr Barber, the superintendent, spoke of the success of Florrie Vines and Ruby Twyford in the Sunday School examination held throughout Victoria and of the return of the work done in the Sabbath School. A very cheerful report was read by the secretary, Mr Overton. It showed that the attendance was good, finance very satisfactory, with special reference to the kindergarten branch of the work. The Sunday School receipts were £23, and a credit balance of nearly £7 remained. *** SOMERVILLE Social Club Concert. A packed house greeted Mrs Duncan Puckle and her Musical Comedy Company, last Saturday night. It was a bright and original programme, everyone acquitted themselves well, and were duly rewarded by frequent encores and appreciative

rounds of applause from the enthusiastic audience. After a well played overture by Mrs S. S. Gault, the company sang ‘God save the King’, followed by ‘Click Clack’, a lively plantation part song. The parts were well blended, and soloists gave full humour to their lines. Mr Geo Reed then sang ‘The Blue Dragoons’ in fine vigorous style and was loudly applauded. ‘Entente Cordiale’, by Miss L. Barber, was sweetly sung, and the illustration of the words very nicely acted by Miss E. Hawken, (French girl), and Mr Meldrum (British soldier), which so pleased the audience that an encore was demanded. Mr S S Gault sang ‘Bantry Bay’ splendidly and the attendant chorus went with a swing and was much appreciated. A sweetly pretty lullaby sung by Mrs Geo Reed, suited her beautiful voice to perfection. The public were pleased to hear Mrs Reed again after her absence from the concert platform. During the evening Mr W Martin, in a happy complimentary speech proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs Puckle for the most successful and uncommon entertainment she had thought out, the whole of the items being chosen by her, and the costumes and scenes being originated by the same hard-working lady. The audience responded by singing ‘For she’s a jolly good fellow’ and giving three hearty cheers for Mrs Puckle. *** THE Thin Khaki Line. An officer of

the Army Service Corps writes: You know, reading the home papers I could almost wish that a horde of these gentry could descend on old England’s shores. I don’t think anything but that will ever arouse them to the awfulness of the thing that the thin (very, very thin in some places) khaki line in the trenches out here is fighting hard to keep from them; and that very thin line is doing each day something that has never been equalled even by the thin red line of by-gone days. I am not patting myself on the back for my work lies behind the trenches, and I take off my hat to every mother’s son that is there. I should have thought that the recruits to the new Army would have exceeded the second million by now, and yet they don’t seem to have got the first completed yet. If they could only take the youth of England on a personally conducted tour along our lines here, so that they could realise what we are up against, I think they’d join in a body but, failing that, the best way to buck them up would be a hundred thousand Germans landing in England. I don’t suppose they’d get very far; still they would bring home to the smug armchair brigade as nothing else ever will something at least of the awful way in which Belgium and part of France have suffered. Those who are out here are doing miracles. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 February, 1915.

A Grain of Salt IN line with the highly regarded philosophy of never taking responsibility for one’s actions and therefore blaming others, I blame my father. He was the one who marched me into the Commonwealth Public Service on January 5th after scraping through year 11, thus beginning 20 years of a collar and tie, a daily shower, shave and clean shirt, all in the name of security. I had no say, had to get a job, had to pay board, end of story. Worse, I had to study accountancy? Unbelievable boredom, leaving aside the pleasurable side issues of females, beer and the vague possibility of sex, assuming I knew what to do if the opportunity ever arose. It never occurred to Dad to get me a job in real estate? Think about it. Getting a licence (eventually) was at best a piece of cake compared with the accountancy three year drain and from then on it would all be a life of chocolates and champagne. As Marlon Brando said in On The Waterfront: “I could have been a contender”. A disastrous error, Dad. Interestingly, this avenue via real estate to the good life is still available to this day. *** I WOULD have thought Tony Abbott would seize on the Human Rights Commission report on vulnerable children in detention as a way to demonstrate his assertiveness as a leader not to mention escaping the glare of the local economic stuff. After all, we all know something needs to be done as we surely know the problem was with both parties, worse in fact under Labor, and the report was obviously true. But no, our

Master slams it as political and basically calls the commission president ‘a liar’. Or was he simply enjoying his former role as an attack dog in opposition? Strange times. *** All you Labor voters out there - don’t count your chickens. Lord Tony stopped the boats, stopped the carbon tax and all faults are the faults of Labor, including the spill motion. However, moving ever so slightly in favour of his pre-election promises (no cuts to health, education, ABC and SBS) and making the smallest adjustment to either negative gearing, family trusts or particularly the 15 per cent superannuation tax specifically designed for the “high flyers” and surely things turn around? Never discount the high percentage of voters who are under instruction from our morning newspaper. The May Budget looms large. The fat lady is nowhere to be seen, if ever...yet. *** Introducing the new Cliff. The nice Cliff, blossoming. I’ve had what I call a “civility” personality change. It’s more likely short lived but for now we go with the flow, or the glow. I may even warm to New Zealand actor Roy Billing receiving an Australia Day award but that may take a while. The realisation of loving mankind in general but thoughtless in particular is out the door. Stagnation awakened? Joey Hockey is a new best mate. Positivity forever. I’ll do even better with my other newfound great mate Scotty Morrison, the pensioners’ friend.

*** The disability pension will have to be assessed by a government-contracted doctor instead of their own GP. If the government doctor finds they’re not completely unable to work they could be put on the dole; $160 a week less. Fair enough, Scotty. Who can trust local doctors? Cracking down on the amount of time those on the disability pension can spend overseas before losing their payments, stopping the disability pension four weeks after a person goes abroad instead of the previous six weeks? How about welfare, Scotty? Anyone wanting to get Newstart, sickness, widow, youth allowances or parenting payments - wait an extra week before receiving their money. What’s a week anyway? We all must do our bit. Nothing on the tax rorts of multinationals, but no surprise there, and not Scotty’s fault. Someone sacked half the public servants in the Tax Office. *** Dear Danny (Andrews), we Sex Party voters on the Mornington Peninsula unanimously agree the public transport situation here is a disgrace. Interest rates are at rock bottom Danny; forget the triple A mirage. Make yourself famous by investing in our Liberal stronghold. Despite being in power since Adam was a lad the Libs have done nothing, albeit minor window dressing. Yes, I hear; the level crossings, underground city rail, but go the extra mile precious. You’ll go down in history. We have the Academy Awards and

By Cliff Ellen, star of last week’s Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell TV show (and he thought we wouldn’t notice...) the Golden Globes for world’s best and here in Aussieland we have the AACTA for our film and television industry, and now? The film critics circle of Australia Awards? Where did this mob spring from? I’m thinking my own awards using the various opinions of friends and enemies. Rye Community Centre every 29th February? Call it Wankerland Awards. *** The Portsea to Queenscliff bridge, the Jetty road overpass, the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre and the freeway extension to Blaigowrie are my tips for a modern Mornington Peninsula by the end of this century. And early in the 22nd century an upgrade of our public transport system. In the short term I propose our council (and counsellors) all be subjected to a “structural realignment”. Not sure what that means but it sounds good.

*** National tiles, Clark Rubber and Godfreys vacuum cleaners? Other than Herald Sun readers is there anyone out there who buys from them when there is NOT a sale on?... Submarines - billions of dollars; needs must they tell us, but still waiting to hear WHY we need them?... Lachy Hulme would have been perfect in the role of Gina for Channel 9’s The House of Hancock.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The notes of an amateur Eurovisionary By Stuart McCullough TAKE that, naysayers! To all those people who had the temerity to question Prince Philip’s knighthood, let me say this – set the cutlery, take a seat and get ready to eat your words. And once you’ve done that, make sure you leave plenty of room for dessert because you’ll be expected to consume a very, very large plate of humble pie. Everything has fallen oh so beautifully into place. Mere moments after our knighthood of Sir Phil arrived in the post we have been formally invited to join Europe. Presumably to replace Greece, which is likely to be traded to Africa. By ‘Europe’, I’m not referring to a poodle-headed light-metal band banging on about ‘The Final Countdown’. Not at all. Nor do I mean anything as trifling as an economic mangling or some weird imaginary currency but something far, far more important. We have been invited to compete in the Eurovision song contest. Suddenly, buttering up the monarchy seems less an act of archaic confusion than it does a stroke of undiluted genius. Get the Bedazzler. Dig out the VIP Spotlight card and the sewing kit. We haven’t a moment to lose. For those who have dismissed this news as mere ephemera regarding a slightly dodgy music competition, they are missing the very large point despite the fact that it has been launched with a confetti cannon. We haven’t just been invited to participate in a competition but to partake in a whole new way of life. Now that

PAGE 52

we’re officially part of Europe, I feel a lot better about ordering cups of fancy coffee. The Paris end of Collins Street has been completely legitimized. For myself, I fully intend to embrace my newfound European status. IKEA furniture will no longer confuse the bejesus out of me and I expect to assemble desks with improbable names like ‘Borgsjo’ whilst wearing a blindfold and to feel no trace of shame when I proudly order furniture called ‘the

Mornington News 24 February 2015

Kallax’, even though it sounds less like a bookshelf than it does an intergalactic bounty hunter and extra from the set of Star Wars. But it’s not all fancy coffee and furniture that, once assembled, always looks as if it’s just been dropped from a great height. Now that we have had the awesome responsibility of competing in the Eurovision Song Contest bestowed upon us, we must decide how we wish to use the opportunity. It has

to be said that Eurovision is not for the lactose intolerant, but its extraordinary cheesiness is part of its charm. It is with that in mind that we must decide whom we should send. Unlike some European nations that only have one guitar between them that they share by way of a rotating roster, our biggest problem is an embarrassment of riches. Already there’s been speculation. There was even an on-line poll that had This Is Serious Mum (also known as TISM) as our preferred representative. Nothing would make me as happy as the sight of a band from Melbourne performing ‘(He’ll Never Be An) Ol’ Man River’ from their hit album ‘Machiavelli and the Four Seasons’ but that’s more the scorched earth approach intended to ensure that the largesse that saw us invited in the first place is never repeated. That’s not for us. Frankly, we like the thing too much to destroy it. Let’s be honest – we’re in this thing to prove we belong. Nothing would please us more to win the whole shebang outright and have the world declare that the best song in Europe is, in fact, located in Australia. So whom do we send? Eurovision demands certain things of its performers – bad dancing, mystifying costumes (preferably white) and a song so drenched with syrup you could as easily pour it over pancakes as you could listen to it. There’s only one group fit for the job. Three words spring to mind. Young. Talent. Time. I’m not talking about the recently resurrected only-to-be-

burned-at-the-stake-until-there’snothing-but-a-smouldering-ruin-leftto-sully-the-memory-in-less-timethan-it-takes-to-make-a-cup-of-tea version hosted by Rob Mills. No way. I’m talking about the version curated by master songwriter and musical genius Johnny Young between 1971 and 1988. The Young Talent Team has all the required skills. Strangely cultish costumes? Check. Clunky dance routines? Present and accounted for. But, sadly, there’s not enough room for everyone. That why we should send the YTT squad from 1982. It would be like a heist movie. Team members, long since dispersed to the corners of the globe, would receive a surprise knock on the door and open it to find Johnny Young, imploring them to come out of retirement for one more job. Like Jake and Elwood Blues, Johnny would be dressed in a black suit and tie with a pork pie hat and sunglasses, muttering something about a mission from God. Some would leap at the chance to rejoin fellow cast members; others would need to be persuaded to leave the successful lives they’d built in the intervening years. But as they accept that not only their country but also all of Europe needs them, they inevitably succumb. I can see it now – dressed in white, performing a slightly theatrical version of TMG’s ‘Jump in my Car’. Europe – brace yourselves. Prepare for the greatest night of your lives. All thanks to the Young Talent Team. With a little help from Sir Phil. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

‘AT LAST’ VIKA BULL COMES TO THE PENINSULA By Melissa Walsh

LIFE has come full circle for Vika Bull who grew up listening to the late, great Etta James, and now returns to the soul sister’s songs she studied 30 years ago. Following a sell-out season at the Sydney Opera House and major theatres, At Last: The Etta James Story is returning to the stage on 27 March at the Frankston Arts Centre, for one night only. Starring the powerhouse talent of Vika Bull, one of Australia’s most respected, powerful soul singers, At Last has garnered standing ovations and rave reviews throughout its Australian tour. Vika Bull has sung alongside some of Australia’s most iconic voices, but it is in At Last, her first solo headline show, Vika showcases the true depth and range of her soulful, gutsy voice, as she belts out the repertoire of one of the world’s most powerful female singers. “It was actually hard to decide whether to do it when they first asked me. I originally said no because she is my favourite singer and I thought if I didn’t do it properly I would get crucified,” she says with a laugh. “I grew up listening to Etta James and studying her voice to sing like her so it was all the more important for me to do a good job.” After some serious soul searching, Vika says she knew it would be a great opportunity, and after two years on the show she hasn’t looked back. “It has been a bit of a challenge for me but a wonderful experience. The show started exactly a year after Etta James passed away in February 2013, and is a real tribute to her. She is such an amazing singer and most people only know her for At Last, but she has such a huge repertoire,” says Vika, who puts her heart and soul into telling the telling the story of Etta’s turbulent life. “During the show I sing a lot of Etta’s most beloved songs including Tell Mama and Something’s Got A Hold On Me, but there are very low points in her life, and we take the audience through an emotional journey,” says the singer. “The great thing about her is she was a survivor. She talks about her life as a roller coaster and if she had to do it all over again, she wouldn’t change a thing,” says Vika, who is embracing the chance to be a singer and a storyteller. “I believe one of the reasons she had such a magnificent voice was

because of her life experience.” Described as a show of raw emotion, punctuated by an intimate telling of Etta’s tumultuous life, Vika guides us through a two-hour narrative concert of the 57 year career of the woman who has been recognized as bridging the gap between rhythm and blues, rock and roll and pop. For Vika Bull, whose career continues to take her to amazing places, the journey is still going. “Singing has taken me to some really amazing places and I have met wonderful people,” says Vika, who has been busy touring with Paul Kelly and The Merri Soul Sessions. “The Etta show is completely different from anything I have ever done though. Compared to a tour like this, the whole theatre world is completely different. I like it because it’s a new kind of discipline.” Vika has already had a lifetime of adventures, from singing with the Black Sorrows to performing for the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela, but this down-to-earth songstress finds memorable moments in the simplest things. “Every gig you have great times, and meet interesting people. I even had a great time in Canberra when I went to a couple of exhibitions and saw Sidney Nolan paintings which were a highlight.” For Vika, being on the road is not all sex, drugs and rock and roll. In fact, she explains, it is quite a subdued life. “Because I am using my voice all the time, I have to rest it when I can so you have to sleep, drink lots of water, warm and cool down. And I don’t drink alcohol anymore because that’s really bad for your throat.” As for advice for would-be singers, Vika says it is most important to remain passionate about what you’re doing and also have a thick skin. “You have to be committed to singing because you have a love of it. There are many times when you make no money. You have to have a thick skin because there are times when you are flavour of the month, and times when you are not,” says the mum of a 17 year old. “My daughter plays bass in a band, and we’ve told her she can do whatever she wants but it is a commitment.” For Vika the decision to be a singer happened when she was 5, having grown up listening to a lot of country

music through to Bill Haley, Mahalia Jackson, Elvis and gospel. “We grew up in Doncaster and my parents often got Linda and me to sing at church dinner dances. We were surrounded by music and it was common for the Tongans to go to church a few times a week. Afterwards people would come back and sit around playing guitars and singing songs,” says Vika, who was born to a Tongan mother and Australian father. “I just knew it

As with all great artists, the learning still continues for Vika as she takes the show into its second year.

performance. “One thing I know for sure is we are always respectful of Etta when we tell her story. She was an incredible singer who lived the blues and it is an honour to be able to pay tribute to her in this way.”

“I’ve had to learn to speak to an audience and have had a lot of help with actors coming in and giving hints on how to connect and tell a story,” says Vika who admits to still feeling nervous before a

was what I wanted to do and I have always remained passionate about it.”

WINGED WONDERS IN THE SKIES THE ROSEBUD KITE FESTIVAL NOW in its eleventh year, the special atmosphere generated on the foreshore at Rosebud over the Labour Day weekend will be boosted by a spectacular, world first, aero display. Spectators will be delighted with the new trio of maxi kites which will be flown on Sunday 8 March, which is the main festival day. Star of the show will be Toothless, the black dragon, most frequently seen on the big screen, animated in 3D. This ‘dragon with attitude’ has recently been involved in hair raising, promotional stunts across the world, including the technically complicated, but successful spectacle of him flying under London Bridge on the Thames. This once-in-a-lifetime flight, as you can imagine, involved many complicated approvals and logistical issues. Similar stunts planned for San Francisco were foiled by American red tape but there are no such issues at Rosebud, when Toothless will be unrestricted in his aero adventures! Joining him will be Puff, the red dragon and graceful Pegasus, a white winged horse. This will be the first time these three flying beasts have featured in the one arena and will be a treat for the Rosebud spectators. With its iconic location on the Rosebud beach, festival goers will look to both the skyline and shoreline for an impressive array of beautiful kites and fun, family activities.

This ‘all ages’ event has grown to include a host of kids workshops, kite craft, carnival rides, food stalls, kite surfing displays, ‘come and try’ stand up paddle boarding as well as a full program of live entertainment. The Dreaming Space yellow, circus tent will be back with a program of comedy shows and skills workshops plus, for the brave at heart, Blacksnake Productions’ wildlife and reptile marquee will be there for some ‘touch and

feel’ sessions. Close by will be Coralia the Mermaid, educating kids on sea life in a light hearted way but while wandering along the foreshore, remember to keep an eye out for the roving appearances of the ever popular Tubby the Robot and new guest life-size Gemma the Giraffe. Gracing the main stage from 11am-5pm on Sunday will be a variety of live acts including young local musicians, Trudy and the

Cowboys, Suga Tree, Heidi Luckhurst, Nicola Brown and Corz and the Collier. There are plenty of food stalls throughout the site, but bring a rug, or folding chair and be prepared to stay a few hours, as you won’t be able to tear yourself away from all the activity! Free entry. Parking available on Village Green and along Pt Nepean Road. Facebook: RosebudKiteFestival.

Season comes down to one match PROVINCIAL By IT Gully THE MPCA Provincial final four will be decided in the final home and away game this weekend. In dramatic circumstances on Saturday in blistering heat, Baxter fell outside of the top bracket for the first time this season, going down to Crib Point in a 40 over a side match. This allowed Mornington, the reigning premier, to slide inside the top four for the first time after falling across the line against Rye. Long Island went to outright top spot on the ladder after picking up an outright win against Heatherhill, while Sorrento and Peninsula Old Boys maintained their position in the top four. It makes for a very interesting final

round this Saturday. It almost seems unfair that the fate of some clubs this season will come down to a one day game. As they say, that’s cricket. Long Island host Baxter at Ballam Park in a game that holds significant interest. The two keys in this match are all-rounders Scott Phillips and Dale Irving. The winner of this duel will determine the winner in the match. Crib Point and Mornington will also be a cracker. If the Islanders can knock over Baxter and the Magpies can do the unthinkable and beat the Doggies, then the Pies will sneak in. It makes for a fascinating day of cricket this Saturday. After scoring 51 with the bat and snaring 8/27 with the ball, Long Island’s Scott Phillips ensured that his team picked up maximum points (20) against Heatherhill.

The Hills were bowled out for 62 before the Islanders declared on 4/132. In a great show of sportsmanship, the Hills declared their innings at 8/243 after 85 overs, giving the Islanders a little over 20 overs to get the 170-odd to win. Get it they did, losing five wickets along the way and finishing 5/178 off 21.2 overs. A wonderful ending to a fantastic game of cricket. Sorrento tried to get an outright win against Moorooduc but fell six wickets short. The Sorras had an 80-run first innings lead before declaring at 5/121 in the second innings. Bobby Wilson with an unbeaten 41 was the key for the Ducs. Moorooduc finished the afternoon at 4/96. Langwarrin got the job done against Pines after a shaky start. Chasing 100

for victory, the Kangas resumed four wickets down with 60 runs to get. They declared at 9/136 before sending the Piners back into bat. The visitors finished their second innings at 2/88. Peninsula Old Boys continued on their merry way, smashing Mt Eliza. The Mounties were rolled for 119 in 50 overs and POB resumed three wickets down for 60. The visitors batted for the day and finished at 9/272. Mornington was chasing just 119 for victory against Rye and it made very tough work of getting there. It took an unbeaten 26 from Sam Buchanan to get his side across the line. Ryan Hines was able to stick around long enough (five) to help the Dogs win the match by one wicket. Leigh Lambert finished with 5/41 off 24 overs for the Demons.

Crib Point and Baxter played a oneday game after the ground was unplayable last weekend. The Magpies won the toss, batted first and set Baxter 156 for victory. Jacob Cudmore opened the innings and top scored with 46 while Matty Blake got 29 and Ricky Thompson 25 batting higher up the order. Daniel Warwick (49) and James Eadie (28) appeared as though they were going to take the game away from the Pies, however, when the Baxter skipper was trapped in front by Henry Dolphin, the home side was still 60 runs away with just four wickets in hand. Baxter was eventually bowled out for 127 in the 38th over. Glenn Barclay was superb for the Pies with 5/33 from 8.4 overs.

Five playing for two finals spots DISTRICT By IT Gully THERE will be five teams playing for two finals places in MPCA District cricket this Saturday. Whilst Red Hill (116 points) and Somerville (96 points) are assured a home final for finishing first and second, the next five teams are all playing for the final two places. After another event-filled round on Saturday, Mt Martha and Carrum both fell outside of the top four. This allowed Seaford and Main Ridge to sneak back in. These four clubs have been swapping and changing all season. The other side in the mix is Baden Powell, who, after a shaky start to the season, has come home with a wet sail. Although the Braves are highly unlikely to get in, mathematically, they are a chance. So it all comes down to the final home and away game of the season, a one-dayer. Seaford need to travel to Boneo Reserve. You would expect them to win this one. Baden Powell has the unenviable task of playing Red Hill at Red Hill. That leaves Main Ridge, who play the dangerous Seaford Tigers away from home. The equation is simple. Win the match and they play finals. Lose and it opens the door for the Reds or Lions. Carrum hosts Delacombe Park, who has fallen from grace, while Mt Martha host Flinders at Ferraro Reserve. You would expect both Carrum and Mt Martha to win their matches. All the interest this Saturday will be at Belvedere Park as the Tigers try and knock Main Ridge out. On Saturday, it was Main Ridge’s little master Gareth Wyatt who ensured his side did the job on Mt Martha. Wyatt scored an unbeaten 105 to help his side to 7/216, a 62-run victory in the end. The Reds pulled the pin just 65 overs into Main Ridge’s innings. Wyatt was unstoppable. Baden Powell has a lot to look for-

ward to in coming years. It has an exciting young list with a sprinkling of experience and class and they are getting plenty of game time at the top level. On Saturday the Braves beat Hastings by six wickets. Chasing 169 for victory, the Braves got the runs with nine overs and six wickets in hand. Rhys Elmi top scored with an unbeaten 58 while Sean Wilson made 51. Delacombe Park tasted rare success this season, beating Seaford Tigers. A solid partnership in the middle order between Andrew Christides (29) and Ben Brittain (29) helped the Parkers over the line. Matty Meagher was the pick of the Tigers’ bowlers with 3/41 from 21 overs. Flinders never got close to Red Hill, going down by almost 200 runs. Chasing 348 for victory, the Sharks were rolled for 163. Red Hill’s Brent Martin made it 28 wickets for the season after snaring 6/37 off 22 overs. Shane Beggs top scored for Flinders with an unbeaten 78, while Tim Clarke opened with 39. Seaford and Carrum went toe-totoe in a one-day game. Carrum batted first and made 9/124. Liam Dobson top scored with 35 while Shaun Foster and Josh Dent each made 33. Aaron Peebles snared 3/34 from his 10 overs. Faisal Payenda then steered Seaford to victory with 53, while Nick Simpendorfer hit an unbeaten 43. Dobson was the pick of the bowlers with 2/18 from six. Seaford reached the target with 10 overs to spare. Somerville recorded an easy victory against Boneo, also in a one-day game The Eagles smacked 6/214 with Leigh Lowry scoring 64 against his old team and Justin Allsop hitting 52. In reply, the Pandas were rolled for 119 in the 32nd over. Russell Wilkes was at his best with 5/35.

It’s tight at the top SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully AFTER four and a half months of the MPCA Sub District cricket season, it is all going to come down to the final home and away match to determine the top four. Despite 10 matches being played between 10 teams since October 4 last year, as well as more than 1000 overs being bowled, the whole 2014-15 season is going to be determined in just 80 overs this weekend. After occupying a top four place for the large majority of the season and even holding down top spot on the ladder, Pearcedale finds itself in fifth place leading into the final game. Frankston YCW and Carrum Downs have been in and out of the top four all season but find themselves in there at the right time of the year. Tootgarook leap frogged everyone in this round and went straight to the top of the ladder. Strangely enough though, if they lose this weekend to Frankston YCW and other games go against them, they could miss out altogether. The loser between Carrum Downs and Rosebud could also miss out. They battle it out at Thompson Reserve. Pearcedale takes on Skye. So, despite the Panthers not being in the final

four going into the game, they are an unbackable favourite to win this and move inside the four. Tootgarook and Frankston YCW go toe to toe. As stated, both sides are in the four right now but could go out if they lose and Pearcedale win. And just to throw a spanner in the works, if Carrum Downs and Frankston YCW lose, and Balnarring can complete the expected and beat Ballam Park, then the Saints will hijack a place in the top bracket. The final round is going to be fascinating. The ladder, including points and the all-important percentage, looks like this: Toogarook: 96 & 1.562 Rosebud: 96 & 1.338 Carrum D: 88 & 1.130 YCW: 88 & 1.105 Pearcedale: 84 & 1.400 Balnarring: 76 & 1.277 Balnarring picked up another outright win on Saturday, this time against Dromana. This put them back into contention. Jacob Cook took 7/17 and 6/18 to give him game figures of 13/35 for the match. Tootgarook easily accounted for Ballam Park. Chasing 124 for victory, the Frogs got the runs just two wickets down, finishing at 2/131. Rosebud cruised against Tyabb.

The Yabbies have been very competitive this season, especially of late, however, they were no match for the Buds. Rosebud scrambled to 8/117 with Billy Quigley getting 37 and Darren Kerr returning for his second game of the season with 26. Brodie Bennett picked up 4/21 from nine overs. Tyabb was bowled out for 83 off 39 overs. Quigley snared 3/26 off 10. Frankston YCW chased down Pearcedale’s 117 to record a tough victory. Brad Trotter top scored for the Panthers with the bat with 33 while Paul Bradley was the best of the Stonecats’ bowlers with 4/20 from eight overs. Bradley then made an unbeaten 44 with the bat to guide his side home, scoring 8/120 with one over to spare. Adrian Ridout, in his third First XI game after spending most of his time played C1, was the best of the bowlers with 4/25 from 10 overs. In the final game, Carrum Downs picked up the outright win against Skye. Skye made 108 in the first innings and the Cougars replied with 109 before sending them back in. In the second innings, Skye declared their innings at 3/117 before sending Carrum Downs back in. The Cougars made 8/117 in 17 overs to claim the bonus points.

Eagles land another SOMERVILLE, who has had arguably the greatest recruiting drive of all time during the off-season, has just landed another one. Adrian Speedy, who was simply sensational for Mornington last season, is the latest player to join the ranks. Speedy is an addition to the likes of Scott Simpson (Frankston VFL), Billy Rolfe (Frankston YCW), Tim McGenniss (North Melbourne), Tommy Simpson (Mornington) and Nick Westerman (YCW) who have all joined the club during the off-season. Add these blokes to 2014 recruits in David and Tim Hirst, Call Dixon and Kane McKenzie and you start

to wonder how they can all play in the one side given the amount of points they all carry. The word coming out of the nest is that the recruits are happy to be on a rotation policy in and out of the seniors. If that’s the case, I wonder if they are going to get paid to play in the reserves? Hosting some finals last season must have been very good financially for the Eagles. As we know, players don’t come cheap these days. You just have to ask ANY club on the peninsula and they’ll tell you money is killing the game. More on that later.

Sharks retire A little further down the road at Sorrento, there are a couple of few Sharks who have pulled the pin.

Word is Chris Bagot, Trevor Mattison, Grant Johnson and Ben Schwarze have all pulled the pin, adding to Scotty Cameron last season. There’s also talk that Rye captain Rhett Sutton has also pulled the pin at the Demons after 199 games.

Super 10s Footy Footy’s back...almost. Frankston FC is hosting a 10 vs 10 pre-season competition at Frankston Park to give players from clubs from around the region a chance to get back into the game before the big season kick-off. Teams will play each other on Thursday evenings before the Super 10s Footy Grand Final on Sunday 8 March. See frankstonfc.com.au or call 9783 7888 for details.
