By Mike HastHASTINGS Football Club’s playing coach Glenn Michie will quit at the end of the season.

Michie told the club on Thursday night.

The news is a blow for the struggling senior team, which has dramatically fallen away this season after stellar years in 2011 and 2012.

The Blues lost the grand fi nal to Sor-rento in 2011 by one point, 13.8-86 to 13.7-85, in what was described as one of the best MPNFL grand fi nals in liv-ing memory.

Hastings players and supporters were

heartbroken after the Blues came hard at the Sharks in a frenetic last quarter.

The Blues kicked fi ve of the last six goals and with seconds to go surged forward again.

A pass inside 50 looked headed for the chest of a hard-leading Michie but Sorrento captain Ben McCormack ran back with the fl ight of the ball to make perhaps the most important intercept of his career.

Hastings’ football history would have been so different if Michie had been able to mark that ball and kick truly.

Sorrento had beaten Hastings by six

points in the second semi-fi nal that year.

Hastings had another good season last year, fi nishing in the top four, but lost another close one, going down to Rye by seven points in the second semi-fi nal.

It was Dromana that felt the agony of just falling short in a grand fi nal against Sorrento when it lost by two points, giving the southern peninsula club back-to-back fl ags and four in eight seasons.

Michie was appointed coach of Hast-ings in 2010. He came from Langwar-rin, where he was a playing assistant

coach under Gavin Artico, after spend-ing eight years at Frankston YCW and playing 99 games.

Michie, 32, came from Newborough near Moe in the Latrobe Valley.

The agile big feller (190cm and 91kg) played in the ruck for YCW and at centre half-back at Langy but has played most of his games with the Blues at centre half-forward.

Michie has carried an ankle injury this year.

STUDENTS at Western Port Secondary College will this week be signing on to the Beacon No Dole program.

It aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to choose positive career pathways after their compulsory schooling.

The college has built business and community links through the program, ensuring the students know about a range of career options and are prepared for the workforce.

“We know the key to a bright future is making the most out of their time in secondary school,” principal Andrew Nicholls said.

“The charter signing is a signifi cant event for the year 10 students when they take the No Dole pledge in front of the community.”

Christopher Ride, guest speaker at this year’s event, began his IT career at IBM in 1984.

In 1992 he joined Interactive and is now managing director and a major shareholder of a company that has grown into a multimillion dollar enterprise.

In 2007 Mr Ride self-published The Schumann Frequency, a science fi ction novel, and was signed by Random House Australia to a multiple-book deal.

The event is open to the public and will be held in the Community Arts Centre at 11.30am on Thursday 20 June. Details: 5979 1577.

POLICE say more needs to be done to a notorious accident black spot in Tyabb.

Efforts to make the horror intersec-tion safer have included signs alerting drivers to a “dangerous intersection” and about six months ago the speed limit on Graydens Rd was reduced from 100kph to 80kph, the same as Boes Rd.

“The reduction in the speed limit has certainly helped reduce the number of serious collisions at the intersection, but more needs to be done,” Sergeant David Collins of Hastings highway pa-trol said.

He said the intersection was a notori-ous black spot that was under review by Mornington Peninsula Shire, which is responsible for Boes Rd, and Vic-Roads, which oversees Graydens Rd.

One option being considered by the shire and VicRoads was a roundabout.

“A roundabout would be ideal but they are very expensive,” Sergeant Collins said.

The most recent incidents saw two collisions in three days at the intersec-tion of Boes and Graydens roads.

Three people were rushed to hos-

pital after the fi rst crash on Thursday 6 June when an elderly driver failed to slow at the stop sign on Boes Rd and collided with a car travelling west on Graydens Rd.

Sergeant said the passenger of the car travelling north on Boes Rd, a woman aged in her 70s, took the worst of the impact and sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries. She was fl own by air ambulance to a Mel-bourne hospital (“Danger roads”, The News, 11/6/13).

The driver, believed to be her hus-band, and the driver of the car trav-elling on Graydens Rd were taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment for less serious injuries.

Sergeant Collins said police had yet to interview the elderly man, who was still in hospital, and investigations were continuing.

The second crash occurred two days later on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend when a P-plate driver travel-ling north on Boes Rd stopped at the stop sign before colliding with a car travelling west on Graydens Rd.

There were no serious injuries.Jo Winterbottom

FRENCH Islanders are making a point of bringing the past back to life.Two prominent headlands are being replanted with trees and shrubs to restore the environment to what it would have looked like before settle-ment by Europeans.

Old photographs show Long Point was denuded by 1890. Replanting was started there by the French Island Landcare Group in 2006.

A walking track now passes through the restored coastal woodland.

On Saturday 8 June the group was joined by members of Friends of French Island National Park in replanting Picnic Point, a neighbour-ing headland to Long Point.

Between them, the two groups added 600 to the more than 60,000 trees and shrubs planted along the island’s south coast since 2006.

One couple helping with the plant-ing arrived on the morning ferry for a bus tour of the island.

Nature restored: This 1890s photo shows trees had already been cut from Long Point, French Island, which is gradually being restored by volunteer members of the island’s land care and friends groups, below.

Making a point of restorationMaking a point of restorationPENINSULA Community Legal Cen-tre is backing a campaign to help con-sumers outsmart online scammers.

National Consumer Fraud Week runs until 23 June, initiated by the Austra-lasian Consumer Fraud Taskforce.

The legal centre’s acting principal, lawyer Bren dan Stackpole, said it was hoped the taskforce’s “top fi ve tips” would help people avoid scams.

“If you think you might have been taken, scammed, seek legal advice. Don’t let embarrassment stop you from pursuing your rights,” he said.

The tips are:1. Think twice – if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. 2. Find out what other shoppers say – make sure the person that you are deal-ing with and their offer is the real deal.3. Protect your identity – personal de tails are private and invaluable; keep them that way and away from scammers.4. Keep your computer secure – install software that protects your computer from viruses and unwanted programs and make sure it is kept up-to-date.5. Only pay through secure payment

metho ds – look for a web address start-ing with “https” and a closed padlock symbol. Never use a wire transfer ser-vice to send money to anyone you do not know and trust and do not share your fi nancial details with anyone.

A taskforce spokesman said the campaign was to help people who had bought or sold something online only to fi nd the person at the other end wasn’t “the real deal”.

“Australians are increasingly going online to buy goods and services, tak-ing advantage of the speed, conveni-ence and choice the internet offers.

“Unfortunately scammers like shop-ping online for their victims too.”

Children’s teeth need to be looked after gently and carefully.

Baby teeth or primary teeth help children to speak clearly and chew, they also pave the way for secondary teeth. By following a simple dental routine, you can help give your children healthy teeth and gums.

SOME people jump from a plane or go up in a balloon to mark their 70th birthday but Fran Henke has published her fi rst novel, based on a true story of love and survival in the early days of Victoria.

The Hastings author’s book – The Other Side of the Wind: A Story of Survival – will be launched later this month by Dr Mary Ann Ghaffurian, daughter of Lucy Purcell who more than 20 years ago told Mrs Henke about the arrival of her ancestors in Geelong.

Author of 13 non-fi ction books, Mrs Henke, a polio survivor, always want-ed to write fi ction but journalism and other tasks intervened.

A career in print, radio and publish-ing saw her working in London, Syd-ney, Melbourne and on local newspa-pers including the former Hastings-based Independent News Group.

Mrs Henke was a contributor to The News until last year, writing a column called “Conversations with Fran Henke”, interviews with Western Port identities.

She spent almost four years as a member of the Commonwealth Film Censorship Board and has written books on gardening, leading to col-umns on gardens for magazines and newspapers.

As well as working as a media ad-viser for state and federal MPs, Mrs Henke’s work in raising awareness of

the needs of polio survivors has seen her win community service awards. She is chair of the Polio Reference Group in Victoria.

The Geelong pioneers’ story she heard in 1992 caught her imagination. Extensive research brought the story to life and led her to write the novel.

“Mrs Purcell told me her ancestors came out to Australia on a sailing ship, landing at Point Henry near Geelong,” Mrs Henke said.

“There was no wharf in those days so boxes and bags were thrown onto the beach. The couple found one was missing, so the husband when back to the ship to fi nd it, but the wind changed and the ship – with him on board – took off through The Heads, leaving his wife stranded on the beach. It took him six months to get back to Australia.”

Her novel is set in 1851 in the new colony of Victoria. Boom town Gee-long had grown on the sheep’s back and had become the main destination for people arriving from many nations to join the gold rush.

Migrants were making new lives – conservative graziers, bureaucrats with brutal pasts in the penal settlements, extroverted individuals determined to make their fortunes, and ordinary folk escaping the “clearances” in Scotland and Ireland, when people were forced off the land by aristocratic landown-ers,” Mrs Henke said.

“Women played a key role in the new colony, throwing off the shackles of old world convention, blazing trails in unexpected directions.

“They were striving to survive, to bring kindness and quality to the male-dominated society with its military rule under pressure from free settlers and free thinkers.”

This is the world to which newly married couple Edward and Catherine Anderson arrive. They become sepa-rated after a wind shift sees Edward left on the vessel they arrived on and Catherine stranded in the new colony.The story answers the questions: how will the fragile artist Edward cope again at sea? How will Catherine man-age in the frontier town without money and her beloved husband?

Fran Henke celebrates her birthday with the launch of her novel on 20 June and 22 June.

The fi rst will be in what she calls her “home country” of Gippsland by Mir-boo North bookseller Susan Lendon.

The second is at a private function in Mornington on 22 June when the book will be launched by Dr Mary Ann Ghaffurian. The Other Side of the Wind: A Story of Survival, by Frances Henke, RRP $25 is available at selected Mornington Peninsula bookshops, Hastings Newsa-gency or from the author, phone 5979 7274 or email fhenke@big pond.net.au

MORE than 50 passengers have signed up to the free PenBus service for students, jobseekers, apprentices and trainees.

The service is a partnership between Mornington Peninsula Shire and Ventura Buslines paid for by the federal government and launched at Chisholm Institute’s Rosebud campus.

The two PenBus routes run from Rosebud to Monash University at Clayton via Frankston station and Hastings to Chisholm Institute at Rosebud through Mornington.

“Many of our young people want to work and study but the previous lack of transport options made this dif-fi cult,” mayor Cr Lynn Bowden said.

“PenBus offers a free, convenient transport solution for people in the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston areas who need to travel to further their studies.

“The service also aims to address some of the challenges caused by lo-cal retrenchments and unemployment, and the free service is also available for job seekers and workers travelling to and from interviews.”

PenBus schedules are timed for morning passengers to arrive at their destination for standard business and campus opening hours, and give pas-sengers working or studying outside the region a connection to both Hast-ings and Frankston railway stations.

“With the buses providing sustain-able transport to both our peninsula and Clayton campuses, students from the Mornington Peninsula will have a tremendous choice of courses and opportunities at Monash,” Monash University’s environmental sustain-ability director Paul Barton said.

Chisholm Institute CEO Maria Peters said the free service between Rosebud, Frankston and Monash Clayton provided “easier access to pathway opportunities from certifi -cates right through to higher educa-tion at Chisholm Institute as well as for our young second- and third-year apprentices”.

“Having a direct, free transport link

from Hastings to Rosebud will now enable quality vocational education to be accessed by the young people in that region.

VOLUNTEERS who help provide Peninsula Health services have been thanked and congratulated for their work by Health Minister David Davis.

Mr Davis presented an outstanding achievement award to assistance and care in emergency (ACE) volunteer Jenni O’Sullivan.

The awards are made to volunteers who have shown dedication and commitment to public health care in Victoria.

Ms O’Sullivan is the convenor of the ACE program at the Rosebud and Frankston hospitals’ emergency departments.

“Jenni is a passionate advocate

and actively promotes the 100 strong volunteer program and is always on the lookout for new recruits,” executive director of community participation Jan Child said.

“She is a leader among her peers, providing support and guidance to new and existing volunteers. Jenni is the backbone of the program.”

Ms O’Sullivan’s role involves organising rosters, team meetings, training, guest speakers and coordinating communications among volunteers.

“It was very overwhelming and a bit of a shock when I heard my name called out,” Ms O’Sullivan said.

“It was such an honour and a privilege to be nominated in the fi rst place, let alone win. I’m very passionate about the ACE program. It’s a program that I believe does a lot of good and helps the patients and allows staff to get on with what they do best.

“At the end of the day we’re the front liners and we do our best to make patients and their relatives feel comfortable.”

The Friends of Carinya Auxiliary was nominated in the team award category for the volunteer work done by its members at Peninsula Health’s residential centre in Golf Links Rd,

By Keith PlattDAVID Stanton is anxiously awaiting the result of medical tests.

The examination was due late last week but he believes it should have been done three weeks ago.

The drawn-out procedure to dis-cover why he coughed up “cupfuls of blood” began in the early hours of Tuesday 21 May.

He woke up coughing in the middle of the night at his Tootgarook home but, because it was dark, did not real-ise until the morning that he had been coughing up blood.

An invalid pensioner in his mid-70s, Mr Stanton, who suffers from several “age-related problems”, called an am-bulance to take him to Frankston Hos-pital.

“I wanted to be treated as though something was wrong but it was an absolute disgrace,” he said.

Mr Stanton fears the blood comes from an internal growth and that valu-able time has been lost in diagnosing his problem.

He has outlined his dissatisfaction in a long letter to hospital CEO Sherene Devenson and Peninsula Health board chairperson Nancy Hogan, with copies also going to state and federal politi-cians.

In the letter he describes fearing the blood came from a ruptured growth near his stomach and believes he should have received an internal ex-amination as well as a blood test.

Mr Stanton was discharged in the afternoon and told by a doctor that someone would contact him to arrange

Distress over hospital delaysDistress over hospital delays

having a throat examination.“At this stage, no one had formed an

opinion regarding what caused me to vomit dark blood from my digestive region and I was disappointed that I was not having an internal examina-tion prior to being sent home,” Mr Stanton stated in his letter.

Nine days later he called the hospi-tal and was told he was not listed for an examination but inquiries would be made.

A day later he called again and was told to await a return call.

Annoyed, he wrote the letter of com-plaint and his belief that standards at the hospital have dropped.

“The delay is causing me concern and is a complete contradiction of my treatment during previous admissions to Frankston Hospital over the past 10 years regarding age-related ailments,” he stated.

“The problem with Frankston seems

to be with the hospital management… the line of ambulances with their crew waiting for admission to ED is a ter-rible waste of manpower and equip-ment…”

Mr Stanton said the paramedics who transported him to hospital had told him there was no other ambulance available on the “entire Mornington Peninsula”.

“In most cases, peninsula residents have been paying their ambulance

subscriptions all their lives and I think they deserve better service than they’re getting at this time,” Mr Stan-ton said.

A hospital spokesperson said re-cords showed it was “an extremely hectic day in the emergency depart-ment” when Mr Stanton arrived.

“We understand his natural anxiety but reiterate he received prompt and appropriate care and the best course of action is for him to follow the advice given on the day,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said Mr Stanton received “prompt and appropriate care”, being triaged as a category 4 patient at 12.21pm after arriving by ambulance.

“Examinations, tests and waiting for results occurred over the next four hours and he was provided with a de-tailed discharge summary at 4.37pm,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the summary had been discussed with Mr Stanton, who left the hospital about 5.45pm.

The discharge summary had been simultaneously emailed to his fam-ily GP and included a request that Mr Stanton be referred to a specialist.

Mr Stanton said Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt had written back saying he would follow up his complaints.

He had received no reply from state MP for Nepean, Martin Dixon, “who is renowned for being low key”.

“That may be a bloody blessing re-ally; I think we’ve all had enough of politicians and their pollie speak.”

PLUSMORNINGTON solicitor and deve loper Joseph Alesci and his company Porsh Pty Ltd have been fi ned $12,000 and ordered to pay costs of $8000 over planning breaches at his Epicurean Centre in Red Hill South.

Mornington Peninsula Shire communications manager Todd Trimble said the shire took Mr Alesci and Porsh to Frankston Magistrates’ Court “for various breaches of the planning permit and the planning scheme”.

“The offences included the construc tion of a concrete pad and blast wall on the road reserve; creation of a dam for the purposes of waste water treatment; failure to satisfy a section 173 agree-ment; and constructing the car park contrary to the approved plans,” he said.

Mr Trimble said Magistrate Holzor, after hear-

ing the basic details of the case, said he was in-clined not to issue a conviction.

“The issue of conviction was an important fac-tor in this case as it would impact on Mr Alesci’s profession.

“Following the indication by the magistrate, the accused agreed to proceed on the basis of plead-ing guilty to fi ve charges in total. Subsequently he was found guilty and fi ned $6000 and ordered to pay $4000 in council’s costs. The company was found guilty of one breach, fi ned $6000 and ordered to pay $4000 in council costs.”

Shire planner Paul Lewis said there was “a lot of community interest in this development”.

Mr Alesci told The News: “It was a fair out-come and I hope we can all move on.”

By Jo WinterbottomTHE spate of burglaries at schools on the Morn-ington Peninsula continues with three raided over the past week.

Rosebud police believe there may be a link between two burglaries that occurred on the same night, at Boneo Primary School and Red Hill Consolidated School.

Senior Constable Chris Zurek of Rosebud crime investigation unit said laptop computers were the target in both cases.

Security alarms at Boneo primary went off about 1.40am on Wednesday 5 June. Three notebook computers were stolen from the admin-istration area. Senior Constable Zurek said that

there was no sign of a forced entry.A few hours later the Red Hill school was hit by

burglars, about 4am. Police are still investigating how the thief or thieves gained entry. A Lenovo laptop computer was stolen.

Dromana Secondary College, still reeling from a large burglary of IT equipment in April, was again hit by burglars some time overnight be-tween Friday 31 May and Saturday 1 June.

Senior Constable Zurek said thieves forced a window to get into the maintenance shed and stole a “large number of items” still being tallied.

Anyone with information can contact Rosebud police on 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

THE peninsula’s glitterarti fl ocked to Morning-ton Peninsula Regional Gallery in Mornington on Friday night last week for the opening of the presti gious exhibition of 2013 Archibald Prize fi nalists.

The show opened to the public on Saturday and closes on 7 July. More than 40 portraits are on display including Del Kathryn Barton’s Ar-chibald winner hugo, an arresting image of actor Hugo Weaving.

Also at the exhibition is Paul Jackson’s Jo, a portrait of Joanna Braithwaite, an artist known

for her exploration of the interrelationships be-tween animals and humans. The fi sh, prawns and other animals in Jackson’s portrait are references to Braithwaite’s work.

A seven-time Archibald fi nalist, Jackson won the 2009 Packing Room Prize for his portrait of Flacco, the alter ego of comedian Paul Living-ston, and the 2006 People’s Choice for a portrait of actor Garry McDonald battling depression.

By Toni BrientVICTORIANS are preparing to welcome the fi rst new number plate series in 60 years but not everyone will be making the move to the new system.

Mornington Peninsula Historical Vehicles Club secretary Margaret Griffi n said older plates can still be seen on the peninsula.

Mrs Griffi n said her husband Ray’s 1934 Pontiac still has its original six-digit number plates – 201-166.

“We’ve had it since 1968, and it’s still registered and roadworthy.”

She believed people became attached to cars and number plates because they represent a link to family history.

“People are really sentimental. An FJ Holden gets a lot of looks because everyone in the family has had one.

“It’s sort of a personal thing; something you remember from childhood.”

Mrs Griffi n said the pattern was evident in her own family.

“Both our sons have Chrysler Valiants because we drove around in them during the 1970s and 1980s when they were kids.”

The changes announced this week by the state government will take the format from three letters, three numbers to number, letter, letter, number, letter, letter.

The fi rst issued number plate, 1AA 1AA, was auctioned for $170,000 on a Melbourne radio station to benefi t The Alfred Hospital.

Mrs Griffi n recalled a similar amount of

interest from the public when colour was introduced to number plates in 1977.

“I know there was a big to-do when they started with the green number plates.

“People went to an auction and it was auctioned off as well.”

She said many car owners still use the six-digit plates, which were fi rst issued in 1932.

“In the car club movement, people like to have a number plate that matches the era of the car.”

Mrs Griffi n said many members of the peninsula car club use specialised number plates from the Club Permit Scheme, which grants car club members cheaper registration for limited use of historic vehicles.

Car enthusiasts also search for specifi c number and letter combinations, she said.

“My dad had the number plate HOT 448, and apparently there’s an engine that’s a 448.

“A lot of my son’s friends have bought number plates that match the model [of their cars].”

The introduction of custom number plates in the past few decades has enabled people to display club affi liations, like football teams, on their number plates.

Mrs Griffi n said some members of her club also use personalised number plates, which allow people to select colours as well as number and letter combinations.

“It just shows you how much money is out there,” she laughs.

Vintage drivers in no Vintage drivers in no hurry for new plateshurry for new plates

New numbers, new sloganNew numbers, new sloganTHE state’s new number plates will carry the road safety message “Stay alert stay alive”.

Premier Denis Napthine unveiled the plates this week, saying they were the fi rst new series of number plates since 1953.

The present series ends in coming weeks with ZZZ 999, which has already been bought.The plates will be made by prisoners in an Ararat jail.There will be 37 million combinations, enough to last about 50 years.

By Mike HastSHIRE councillors have removed the Rosebud foreshore site as the preferred location for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA).

The move at Tuesday night’s council meeting reverses a decision made in March 2012.

It was led by the shire’s youngest councillor, Andrew Dixon, who was elected to one of three seats in Briars Ward last October.

The decision puts the inland site at Wannaeue Place (Rosebud Central shopping centre) on an equal footing with the foreshore site.

Councillors will consider the two sites at a workshop on 23 July before again debating the long-running pro-ject at a subsequent council meeting.

Last year the council bought Rose-bud Central for $5.1 million and two buildings in adjacent Ninth Avenue as a possible alternative site for SPA.

The shopping centre is occupied by 10 specialty shops and Ritchies IGA supermarket, whose lease expires in July.

Council offi cers have been preparing a comparison of the two sites.

In his notice of motion, Cr Dixon said abandoning the foreshore site would “break the deadlock that has plagued this project and the council for too long”.

He also called for a report on ways to raise extra revenue to allow SPA to be built, which could include “the inclu-sion of additional ground fl oor com-mercial space, second-fl oor leisure and community space, and multi-level residential space”.

“With the right approach to com-mercial and residential real estate, the centre may be able to cover losses gen-erated by other community infrastruc-ture, like Pelican Park [in Hastings] or our library network,” he said.

Cr Dixon’s call for this report was not supported by his colleagues and lapsed.

During the election campaign, Cr Dixon said he did not support SPA on the foreshore or at any other location but has since voted for it on two occa-sions. His move has surprised council watchers who thought he would con-tinue supporting the foreshore site.

During debate, Cr Hugh Fraser said he supported Cr Dixon as circumstanc-es had changed since the vote in 2012.

There had been a geotechnical report that had revealed a number of prob-lems with the foreshore, he said.

Piles for SPA would have to be sunk 14 metres, adding 15 to 25 per cent to the centre’s total cost.

The report Port Phillip Coastal Ad-aptation Pathways Program released earlier this year, which studied the Murray-Anderson Basin (Rosebud and McCrae), had warned that 74 per cent of land could be fl ooded between now and 2100, he said.

Peninsula Link freeway had opened in January and Frankston Council’s $50 million aquatic centre was now just 30 minutes by road.

The budget estimates showed the shire’s Pelican Park aquatic centre in Hastings was losing $850,000 a year.

Information about SPA from 2005 was now out of date, Cr Fraser said.

Cr David Gibb, champion of the SPA

Aquatic centre foreshore site dumpedAquatic centre foreshore site dumped

foreshore site, said Cr Dixon’s motion was naïve but he understood his mo-tive.

No decision should be made until after the workshop on 23 July, he said.

“I’m happy for SPA to be built on the foreshore or at Wannaeue Place,” he said.

Building at Wannaeue Place would be more expensive, he said.

He called the Port Phillip Coastal Adaptation Pathways Program report a “beat-up”. Flooding of Rosebud and McCrae would only occur if four things occurred at once, which was re-mote, he said.

Cr Tim Rodgers was almost apo-plectic when he spoke. “The Port Phil-lip Coastal Adaptation report is not a beat-up,” he said.

He asked Cr Gibb if he was asleep at the report workshop, drawing a re-

buke from meeting chairman Cr Lynn Bowden about making personal re-marks.

“Sea level rise is one issue and the AECOM report [into building the pool on the foreshore] has raised other is-sues,” Cr Rodgers said.

He said SPA would cost an extra $7 million on the foreshore.

Broad-based community support for the foreshore site has yet to be proved, he said.

Cr Frank Martin said he had built two buildings at Port Melbourne and didn’t see the foreshore site as a prob-lem. “You just drive the piles down until refusal,” he said.

“Venice was built on piles and it’s still standing,” he said.

Cr Anne Shaw said she believed in sea level rise but the design life of SPA was 50 years.

“The pool at Frankston doesn’t help our young people,” she said.

Cr Bev Colomb said the SPA saga had been characterised by a lack of in-formation. “We still haven’t had con-versations with experts,” she said.

There was a regional aquatic centre proposed for the Fleurieu Peninsula [in South Australia; being built by the City of Victor Harbour] and the council had said to residents “if you want a pool, this is what it will cost and these are the ongoing costs”.

Cr Colomb said this had not hap-pened with SPA.

“Many seaside towns wouldn’t con-sider major infrastructure on the fore-shore.”

Cr Dixon’s motion passed 5-4. Cr Graham Pittock was not in the cham-ber and Cr David Garnock is on leave.

By Mike HastSHIRE councillors have rejected ex tend ing the time for the building of a holiday resort at McLears Hill on the Nepean Highway near Dromana Drive-in and Dromana Holiday and Lifestyle Village.

The almost 50 hectare property bordered by the highway and Morning ton Peninsula Freeway was bought by Peninsula Junction Pty Ltd earlier this year and the new owner asked Mornington Peninsula Shire for an extension of time on the planning per mit.

The site is just outside and abutting the Urban Growth Boundary, which runs along its frontage to Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

The permit was fi rst issued in Sep tember 2006 when the previous owner took the council to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after the shire had knocked back what it said was a controversial proposal.

The VCAT overruled the council and approved a holiday resort incorpo rating a winery, six-hectare vineyard, function centre, restaurant, 80-room residential hotel, 472-site caravan and camping park, and golf driving range.

In November 2008, the shire granted an extension of time of 12 months. The latest date for starting the development became January 2010. The completion date remained January 2013.

On Tuesday night at the council’s development

assessments meeting, Penin sula Junction asked for a two-year extension, allowing a starting date of 3 January 2015 with completion by January 2019.

A report to councillors by Arthur Cooksley of the shire’s planning de part ment stated previous owners of the property had had time to at least start “landscaping works required in Stage 1 which are not dependent on the endorsement of all of the required plans and documents”.

“On this basis alone, it can be argued that the permit holders have sought to ‘warehouse’ the permit rather than act on it,” he stated.

Mr Cooksley said the new owner should be given an extension.

“It would be unreasonable for the current owner to not be given the opportunity to demonstrate bona fi de intentions to proceed with the proposal.

“A two-year extension of the permit would thus be appropriate and would provide that opportunity, he said.”

Councillors Andrew Dixon and Frank Martin agreed and moved a motion approving the extension.

It was defeated eight votes to two.Given the number of times the McLears Hill

proposal has been to the VCAT, it is likely Peninsula Junction Pty Ltd will challenge the council’s decision.

Peninsula Junction could not be con tacted before deadline.

DOLPHIN watchers had a surprise on Saturday of the long weekend when the fl uke of a hump-back whale poked out of a patch of water they were studying off Mornington.

Sue Mason, who leads the Dolphin Research Institute dolphin watching team, said it was the 13th year running whales had been reported in Port Phillip over the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

“The DRI research team has joked for a number of years that the long weekend should be referred to as whale weekend, but we are now beginning to think seriously about the label,” Ms Mason said.

The whale sightings in Port Phillip also coin-cided with World Ocean Day.

Ms Mason has worked on humpback projects in Hawaii, Hervey Bay, the Sunshine Coast and southern Western Australia.

“Whales are not a sight we see regularly in Port Phillip and it’s always exciting to see hump-backs,” she said.

“Humpback whales are currently on their northbound migration to the warmer Pacifi c waters. Some whales, often those not yet sexu-ally mature, visit Port Phillip in what we humans might refer to as pure curiosity.

“The two sub-adult animals that were spotted on Saturday left the bay on Sunday afternoon.”

John Dickie and his crew from Wildlife Coast Cruises, which operates from Cowes, Phillip Is-land, has seen humpbacks in Western Port while taking tourist trips to Seal Rocks.

“Like all wild animals, humpback whale be-haviour can be unpredictable,” Ms Mason said.

“Rules are in place to protect those who ob-serve whales and the whales themselves.

“If anyone is lucky enough to be on the water and sees a whale, they should remember they are not permitted to approach within 200 metres of the animals, must maintain a consistent speed of less than fi ve knots and refrain from making sudden changes in direction.”

ANALYSIS of droppings from a powerful owl pair and their young in the Hastings area reveals 96 per cent of their diet is ringtail possums.

The story is contained in the June edition of Morn-ington Peninsula Birdlife newsletter.

Josh Gunn, a conservation ranger with Mornington Peninsula Shire, reported that after fi nding the owls “we decided to collect the owl pellets and have them analysed to gain an insight into the owl’s diet”.

“We also thought this would be a good way to see what mammals were present in the reserve.

“The majority of the pellets were collected from under the roost site of the juvenile owl.”

Tests were conducted by renowned Frankston zo-ologist Hans Brunner, one of the world’s foremost experts on mammal hair analysis.

After developing a technique for identifying the hair of mammals, Mr Brunner wrote a landmark book in 1974, The Identifi cation of Mammalian Hair, which is still used today by animal forensic experts around the world.

“The analysis involves teasing the pellets apart to separate the hairs,” Mr Gunn said.

“The diagnostic features of the hairs are then ana-lysed to identify which species the hairs belong to. These features include hair length, hair colour and shape of the cross-section of the hair, which is ob-served through a microscope.

“Of 27 pellets analysed, 96 per cent contained ringtail possum and 9 per cent contained brushtail possum. There were also some feathers and insect remains found.

“After further investigation of the powerful owl diet, I found the results align with their average diet.”

Mr Gunn said arboreal [tree-living] mammals make up more than 90 per cent of the powerful owl’s diet.

“Of this, ringtail possum is the greatest component, consisting of between 65 and 90 per cent.

“The greater glider is next, then sugar glider and brushtail possum respectively.

“In areas where greater gliders are not present, the component of ringtail possum in the diet is at its high-est.

“In urban areas or those that are great ly disturbed, brushtail possum may make up a greater component of the diet, which is most likely to be due to a greater abundance.

“In many cases it is juvenile brushtail possums that are targeted by being plucked from the backs of their parents.”

Mr Gunn said other sources of powerful owl food included young koalas, fl ying foxes, antechinus, rats, rabbits, invertebrates and a wide variety of birds.

“The Hastings powerful owls are thought to have been in the area for at least two years with reports from neighbouring residents seeing them in their backyards.

“Whether they just use this area for breeding or are permanent residents of the reserve is unknown.

“Future monitoring will hopefully give us a better idea of how this area is used by the owls and their breeding success.”

Mr Brunner said some of the pellets contained bones 40mm long, which showed they came from large adult owls.

On Radio Port Phillip’s Environment Show last Thursday, Danny Vitz of BirdLife Mornington Pen-insula said a recent survey revealed there were 16 nesting sites of powerful owls on the peninsula but just three breeding pairs had been sighted.

Mornington Peninsula fi eld ecologist and mammal expert Mal Legg said powerful owls were listed as vulnerable on the peninsula.

“They mainly live in the hinterland at places like Red Hill and Main Ridge but have been seen as far south as Point Nepean,” he said.

A powerful owl pair could have a range of up to 1000 hectares.

Mr Brunner said he was not surprised at the low number of owls.

“Ringtail possums have died in their thousands in the past three years during heatwaves,” he said.

AT age 25, Christie Sinclair is already a seasoned traveller, having spent six months studying environmental jour-nalism in Greece and visiting North America, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and parts of Europe.

Her travels and studies have intensi-fi ed her concerns over the effects of rapid climate change so much that she had now set her sights on the Antarc-tic, which, she believes, needs protec-tion from mining and drilling.

Ms Sinclair, of Mt Eliza, is one of 30 people chosen from around the world to participate in the 2014 Antarctic Youth Ambassadors Program.

Run by polar explorer Robert Swan, the program aims to “create an inter-national youth coalition of Antarctic defenders who will champion renew-able energy as their path to saving the continent”.

“This is the craziest thing I have ever done, but I am determined to make a difference,” Ms Sinclair told The News.

“The scope of the trip and how I choose to use this experience after-wards is really limitless, and I am so excited and honoured to be represent-ing Australia, and the Mornington Pen-insula, on this global expedition.”

While admitting to being “com-pletely terrifi ed” of crossing the Drake Passage on board the ship Sea Spirit to Antarctica from Argentina, Ms Sin-clair’s fi rst big obstacle is raising the $22,000 two-week expedition fee.

On top of this she has to pay for fl ights, gear and travel insurance.

“To be completely honest, at fi rst I was reluctant to accept the position

based on the extreme cost and the fact that I only have three months to raise the funds. I was in a little bit of shock about the whole thing really.

“But then I thought it would be silly to let a large expedition fee prevent me from pursuing my dream and poten-tially helping make a real difference.”

Ever the optimist, Ms Sinclair is already formulating her ideas on how she will use the information gained through the youth ambassadors pro-gram to help protect Antarctica.

“Based on the lessons I learn, and the new skills and knowledge I acquire from the expedition, I would like to develop a local, environmental online directory and news website where pen-insula businesses are able to promote their trade.

“I would also like to incorporate regular environmental features, news stories and articles written by young peninsula journalists or environmen-talists.”

A travel writer and copywriter for Australian Pacifi c Touring, Ms Sin-clair in 2010 was awarded the Global Environmental Journalism Initiative scholarship to study environmental journalism in Thessaloniki, Greece, for six months.

She also contributes to Young Vaga-bond, a magazine for young women that was published with money raised through the Pozible crowd funding platform.

“Through my recent focus of study incorporating environmental jour-nalism, I have learned that there is extremely important work to be done and accounted for when it comes to

Antarctic trip to explore changing climateAntarctic trip to explore changing climate

climate change,” Ms Sinclair said.“The media and journalists have a

responsibility to record and report the information to the public in an objec-tive and straightforward manner, to a world that at this point in time is basi-cally unaware of what is transpiring in

Antarctica. I strongly believe that it is up to the young people of today to take action on climate change.

“It’s so easy to ignore the problem and leave the responsibility to some-one else. After all, as we go about our day-to-day lives, the effect of climate

change is basically undetectable.“Antarctica? That’s another story.

Which is why I will do everything in my power to communicate the real ef-fects of climate change to people back home.”

Keith Platt

FORMER Mt Martha resident and Rosebud College student Alli Pope-Bailey, right, is spearheading a live theatre performance to educate children about “stranger danger”.

Now living at Noosa Heads, Queensland, Ms Pope-Bailey is raising money for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation by touring Cinderella at the Disco at venues along the east coast of Australia.

Brett Peter Cowan has been charged with the abduction and murder of 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe who disappeared while waiting for a bus on the Sunshine Coast in December 2003.

“We’ve been friends and supporters of [Daniel’s parents] Denise and Bruce for a very long time and we truly admire the way they’ve turned such a personal tragedy around to benefi t others,” Ms Bailey said.

“They’re regularly visiting schools and talking to kids, teachers and parents.

“Our approach, through an interactive

performance is slightly different – it encourages the children to get up on the stage and become a part of the show. We’ve recognised the key messages become absorbed more readily via the characters in the show.”

Ms Bailey has rewritten the “old favourite” Cinderella, which, along with previous productions Snow White and the Seven Cool Dudes, Aladdin and his Magic I-Pod and Goldilocks Rocks, “deliver strong messages on stranger danger, bullying and respect.

“It’s our aim to educate and stimulate the minds of our young audience through live performance,” Ms Bailey said.

“The original storyline of Cinderella, her fairy godmother and the prince remains with a slightly modern twist, a little disco music, plenty of silliness and some valuable lessons on child safety, in line with the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.”

EMU has just arrived back at the bush hacienda, minus Mrs Emu, who has fl own to foreign parts to visit family. It is her fi rst fl ight and she is nervous. Emu had suggested sending her as cargo to keep costs down but she insisted on a cabin seat for the free drinks.

“They come over here and eat our food, and drink our neck oil,” she is babbling, as she does when she is nervous. “It’s only proper that we reciprocate. A pity you can’t come, too, with your appetite and thirst,” she tells Emu after baggage check-in.

She heads through the big door to the duty-free after a distracted and perfunctory peck on the cheek for her spouse. Her new hat looks most fetching but it is distinctly 1960s in this crowd of fashionably ragged jeans and T-shirts. Emu strongly agrees with the old Portuguese proverb: fi sh and visitors should be expected to go off after three days.

After the fond airport farewell, Emu sets off on his annual Survey of the Domain, giving the city a very wide berth north and east, to see what has changed since his last stock take of the ancestral lands.

What appears to be a new al fresco op shop has started up in the Dromana industrial estate, one of many offerings of household furniture and effects to be found around shire roadsides since tipping fees skyrocketed and tip vouchers were cut from four to three. Emu speculatively eyes an avant garde plastic table.

These spontaneous roadside op shops are a sensible, practical response to the excess goods problem, Emu muses as he rests on a comfortable if battered and slightly waterlogged chaise longue before resuming his perambulations. Clearly the shire endorses the

practice: this shop, and others Emu encounters, appear well established.

But we are ahead of ourselves: the trip home has contained a new excitement, in the form of a fi ne new road.

Emu encounters it at dusk on the fi nal day as he wends west-sou’-west toward Mt Martha, navigational landmark for generations of emus returning from Tullamarine. He fi nds his path blocked by a black wire fence, beyond which is the great new four-lane divided roadway, as yet unpotholed and chocka with vehicles heading north.

He fi nds an open gate then, at full gallop, clears the gridlock in a single bound. But only just: his undercarriage is slightly rearranged but the damage is superfi cial. Emu is not the leaper he used to be.

Finally home, he checks his emails. There is one from the Blushing Bride, ensconced with the European branch of the family, eating and drinking with gusto but complaining about legroom on the fl ight over.

Inadequate for emus, she is saying; her knees were up around her ears and how is a lady to maintain her poise and dignity, in such a posture, between two complete strangers and males at that? Can she please have an upgrade for the fl ight home?

Emu sighs. The budget had better accommodate it or he will never hear the end of this holiday.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s distinctive mobile library will be renovated at a cost of $215,000.

The project will include new air-conditioning, better electrical wiring and upgraded hydraulics.

The state government will chip in $125,000 with $100,000 coming from the shire’s coffers.

Peninsula MP David Morris announced the state money on Friday with Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell.

“From the earliest days, when the mobile library was an old converted bus, peninsula

towns have been well served by this service,” Mr Morris said.

“The growing and changing communities on the peninsula deserve a refreshed mobile library service and more modern facilities.

He said the upgrade would result in a better, more reliable service for the community.

Ms Powell said the grant to the shire was “one of the projects to be funded through the third round of the Living Libraries Infrastructure Program”.

By Mike HastOPPOSITION to the proposed rubbish tip in an old quarry on Arthurs Seat is mounting with more than 500 peo-ple packing Dromana Hall last Satur-day for the fi rst meeting of Peninsula Preser vation Group.

It was likely the largest protest meet-ing on the southern peninsula since the anti-dredging rally on Rosebud fore-shore in February 2008.

People who could not get into the hall stood outside, watching and listen-ing through open windows.

Tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management, owned by R E Ross Trust, has asked the Environment Pro-tection Authority to approve its plan. It also needs the OK from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Meeting MC Lee Burton, of PPG’s communications sub-committee, said the main purpose of the meeting was to tell people more about the proposed tip and to encourage objectors to make submissions to the EPA by 19 June.

If enough people objected, the EPA would call a 20B conference, she said. “It is a forum to address the public’s concerns and allows for a greater scru-tiny of the viability and risks associ-ated with the proposal.”

Ms Burton told the meeting that deals had been done behind closed doors for 10 or more years. “We will fi ght this tip till our last breath,” she said.

The group had 16,000 supporters including more than 10,000 signing online and paper petitions.

The fi rst speaker, Mary Karamitsios, a PPG member, said she was “an an-gry Dromana resident” and the mother of young children who was concerned about the rubbish tip and its legacy after it closes in about 20 years.

“Peninsula Waste Management has made three claims: that the tip will be safe, is necessary and that there are no alternative sites. This is a load of rub-bish,” she said.

Ms Karamitsios said the shire coun-cil had earmarked the old Pioneer quarry as a tip in 1996, two years be-fore it was bought by the Ross Trust.

She said 70 per cent of rubbish would come from outside the shire so “this is clearly not about Mornington Peninsula needs”.

The Hallam Rd tip in Hampton Park, operated by SITA, would be open until 2040 and the tip at Clayton until 2020, she said.

It was common for councils to take their rubbish to distant tips. “Both Yarra Ranges and Macedon Ranges councils take their rubbish to tips in Melbourne,” she said.

Ms Karamitsios said the shire pro-moted zero waste but putting a tip at Arthurs Seat was “locking us into an old-style rubbish tip for 20 years” and “couldn’t be further from the shire’s stated aim of being a sustainable pen-insula”.

PPG’s vice-president Mark Fancett, who holds a PhD in biological science, told the meeting the tip would be big-ger than the existing quarry pit.

He said the lake in the quarry was about 100 metres by 200 metres but “the application is for a landfi ll of six hectares and waste will be stacked 100 metres high; a mountain of rubbish,” he said.

The aim of dumping 150,000 tonnes of rubbish each year in the old quarry was “three times the amount of waste dumped in the shire’s Rye landfi ll each year”, he said.

Pipes to remove leachate (rain and ground water mixed with pollutants and chemicals in the rubbish) would be laid at the bottom of the quarry and

could not be repaired once covered with rubbish.

Dr Fancett said he was worried about the quarry pit liner – layers of rock, gravel, a thin layer of plastic and geotextile material to prevent the plas-tic being holed or torn.

Again, once the liner was covered with rubbish, it could not be fi xed if damaged.

Attaching the liner to the quarry sides would be problematic, he said. The weight of rubbish could tear the liner off the pit sides and the joins might leak as well.

Any leakage could end up in Sheep-wash Creek, which runs into Port Phil-lip at Safety Beach, he said.

Dr Fancett said Peninsula Waste Management would install two three-million litre tanks to hold the leachate, which would be removed by road tank-ers, up to 15 a day with more during heavy rain events.

“After the fi rst two years, PWM says it wants to tap into the sewage system and pump leachate to the Boneo sew-age treatment plant,” he said.

Chemicals in the leachate could kill the bacteria that processes sewage, he said.

“A tip of this size should have exten-sive treatment ponds but there is not enough room.”

He said leachate pumps would need to operate for 30 to 40 years, long after the tip had been fi lled and closed.

Dr Fancett said 70 to 100 rubbish trucks a day would bring 550 tonnes to the tip, which would be open 7am-4pm weekdays and 8am-1pm on Saturdays.

Initial information was trucks would use Collins Rd through Dromana’s light industrial area but PWM’s recent-ly released traffi c report stated trucks collecting rubbish from the southern peninsula would exit Mornington Pen-insula Freeway at McCulloch St near Dromana Primary School.

“The trucks will have to negotiate the tricky intersection before entering Boundary Rd then travel almost the full length of Boundary Rd,” he said.

Methane gas generated by the tip would be burnt off for the fi rst two years and then used in gas-fi red tur-bines to generate electricity, he said.

“Operating times of the turbines are not covered in the PWM proposal,” he said.

Methane would last for up to 80 years after the tip had been fi lled and closed.

“This will be a legacy not just for our grandchildren but also for our great-grandchildren.

“Will PWM even be in business?”Seagulls, ravens and other birds at-

tracted to the tip would be scared off by explosive cartridge devices called Birdfrite that produced noise of 140 decibels. (Equivalent to a jet engine 30 metres away.)

Dr Fancett said he was concerned about odour from the tip. The Hal-lam Rd landfi ll had experienced long-running complaints from residents of Hampton Park living up to three kilo-metres from the tip.

The EPA had forced SITA to close one cell of its tip because of odour complaints.

“This can’t occur at the old quarry. It’s a single-cell tip. PWM states the odour will travel just 200 metres.”

Dromana cattle grazier Andrew Duncan told the meeting he was wor-ried about pollution of Sheepwash Creek, which ran through his property and fed a wetland established by his father in the mid-1980s.

Leachate entering the creek could affect the organic certifi cation of Dig-gers Seeds, which was opposite the tip

Quarry tip plan draws a crowdQuarry tip plan draws a crowd

site on Boundary Rd. It employed 60 people there and another 20 at Herons-wood, he said.

Mussel farms at Dromana Bay and Mt Martha could be affected.

“This is an absurd proposal that will affect residents and tourists,” he said.

“What’s going into septic tanks is what we are hearing from Peninsula Waste Management.”

Mr Duncan said the Ross Trust should hang its head in shame for “this dumb proposal”.

“The only way to stop it is communi-ty pressure,” he said to loud applause.

Lee Burton said the quarry was in one of the highest fi re danger areas of Victoria before she introduced Dr Janet Stanley, who said the landfi ll would “double the fi re risk in the area” putting residents and Red Hill Consol-idated School at risk.

Dr Stanley said the proposed tip was between two sections of Arthurs Seat State Park, home to threatened fauna such as the southern brown bandicoot and birds like Lewin’s Rail, white-bel-lied sea eagle and powerful owl.

There were 32 species of regional signifi cance and 11 of high local sig-nifi cance.

It would negatively impact on four threatened fl ora species in the state park – purple eyebright, clover gly-

cine, green leech-orchid and tall walla-by-grass – as well as many others.

Kathryn Downs, a solicitor, told the meeting that world’s best practice and technology can’t protect people and the environment “if the site is wrong to start with”.

There was a risk of the liner failing and leachate leaking from the quarry if the pumps failed, she said.

EPA guidelines declared that land-fi lls must not leave an unacceptable legacy to the community.

Ms Downs cited the Brookland Greens housing estate in Cranbourne where methane gas leaking from the closed Stevensons Rd landfi ll had forced people from their homes, deval-ued property values and cost the cities of Casey and Frankston $13 million and the EPA $10 million in a class ac-tion.

“Casey and Frankston are still fi ght-ing over the cost,” she said.

Ms Downs told the packed hall: “If you don’t object [to the tip], don’t complain when it goes in.

“Get your kids to write to the EPA and draw pictures because they will cop this.”

She said the matter was guaranteed to end up in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

“This will be expensive and we’ll

need 1000 donations of $100 to pay legal fees.”

PPG volunteers had put in hundreds of hours of work.

“We ask you to sign up, donate and get involved.”

The fi nal speaker, Dr John Stanley, said it was a “scandalous project”, the worst he had seen in more than 40 years of involvement in public policy.

There would be healthy and safety risks for the community and damage to the environment.

Extra truck traffi c near Dromana Pri-mary School and the fi re risk at Red Hill Consolidated School were major concerns, he said.

“No conditions can make this safe,” he said.

“We need to send a strong message to the EPA and ask it to send PWM packing.

VISITORS to the Balcombe Creek estuary at Mt Martha can now be “talked” around a tour of the area’s natural attractions and also learn about its history.

Nine audio stations can be accessed by phone or hand-held computers on the tour, with separate recordings available for adults and children.

The Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group’s Yellow Robin Audio Trail was launched by Flinders MP Greg Hunt on Tuesday 11 June with Mt Martha Primary grade 4 students planting their own “fl ock” of yellow robins before test driving the children’s trail suitably equipped with smart phones and internet-enabled tablets.

The various audio fi les can answer a range of unusual questions, such as how comfy is a paperbark bed, why Aboriginal people burnt the bush and what is a pobblebonk?

The audio trail, with a children’s option narrated by Wally the Wallaby and a general version for adults, introduces listeners to the vegetation and animal communities, history and traditional owners of the estuarine and creek area.

Topics covered on the audio fi les include: A time in history, a time past; Butterfl y ballet; History on show; Estuaries – nature’s fi lter; Rehabilitating a resource; Sitting on the dock…of the estuary; Connecting your senses; and Burning to bring new life.

“We want people to become more engaged and involved with their environment, and in conserving special natural places like Balcombe Creek and the reserves,” BERG Mt Martha’s fi eld offi cer Liz Barraclough said.

“We’d like adults and children to learn the stories and lessons that nature has for us.”

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard 21 June 1913.THE annual meeting of the Somer-ville Fruitgrowers Association was held at Somerville on Monday even-ing, when there was a good attendance of members and friends present, also a number of the ladies of the SFGL. The president of the association (Cr Grif-feth) occupied the chair.

Mrs Shepherd, secretary of the SFLG (who was received with ap-plause) reported that her guild had commenced operations with a mem-bership of 35; the members’ roll was now 66 - an increase of 31. The tak-ings for the year ending 30th April, 1913, had been £197 7s 10d, with ex-penses amounting to £39 7s 2d, leav-ing a profi t of £158 0s 8d.

Mr Keast moved that £50 be depos-ited in the State Savings Bank in the name of the association and that £38 go to the association; to recoup them for what they had spent. Seconded by Mr Reed.

Mr S S Gault moved as an amend-ment, that the money be put in the bank in the name of the Ladies’ Guild. The amendment was carried.

The secretary, in his report, said that the association’s past year had been the most venturesome and the most successful on record.

***MR D J B Tait, of Mornington, has disposed of his business and he and Mrs Tait are leaving shortly for fresh fi elds. A meeting of friends will be held in the library, Mechanics’ Hall, Mornington, on Monday evening next, to consider the matter of a suit-able send off. ***

ON Monday last, 16th inst, there were united in the bonds of matrimony, at Holy Trinity, Hastings, by Rev C Eva. Edward Alfonso, eldest son of Mr E Rowlen, of Windsor, to Florence, third daughter of Mr E. Howell, of Tyabb. The bride was given away by her fa-ther and was beautifully gowned in white satin, veiled with ninon, wear-ing a handsome wreath of orange blos-soms and veil, with necklace of pearls, and carrying a beautiful shower bou-quet of white roses, white azaleas and asparagus fern.

The bridesmaids were Misses Al-ice and Bertha Howell, sisters of the bride, who were prettily dressed in white crepe-de-chene with fi schus of lace trimmed with pearls, carrying bouquets of white roses, violets and asparagus fern, and wearing Nellie Stewart bangles (gifts of the bride-groom). The two little train-bearers were Miss Alice and Master Clifford Gcdding. Mr A Howell fi lled the role of best man.

After the ceremony the happy cou-ple and their relatives adjourned to the residence of the bride’s parents, where they partook of the wedding breakfast, and afterwards left by the 4.20 pm train for their new home in Toorak.

Later in the evening about 80 or so of the local friends of the bride re-sponded to the kind invitation of her parents to attend at the Tyabb Hall, where a most enjoyable evening was spent in dancing, singing, and games, and afterwards sat down to a most sumptuous supper in the ante-room, where the tables were most tastefully laid out with an abundance of the tasti-est dainties.

***MR S S Price, dentist, notifi es that he

will be in attendance at his rooms at Frankston, on 29th June, and 13th and 27th July. ***A SALE of gifts in connection with the Frankston Christian Endeav-our will be opened in the Methodist Church School room by Mrs Jackson, at 3 o’clock this (Saturday) afternoon The admission is free and everyone is cordially invited. ***THE president of the Mornington Shire (Cr Male) has received the an-nual allowance from the executors of the late E. Weigall’s estate, for distri-bution among the poor of Mornington and Hastings and will be pleased to hear of any deserving cases needing assistance. ***MR G T Jenkins, of Mornington, has purchased the up-to-date grocery busi-ness of Messrs Rice and Woodhouse, of Maffra. It is not Mr Jenkins’ inten-tion to leave Mornington as the busi-ness will be conducted by his two sons, who will take possession on the lst July next. ***WE are very sorry to learn of the death of Mr Charles Berglund, eldest son of Mr F Berglund, of Mornington, which occurred at Perth, WA, on Sat-urday last whilst riding Mangonel in the Gold Fields’ Purse. The deceased, who was 25 years of age, was only married recently. ***ON Wednesday, 25th June, Mr W A Korner will dispose of the furniture and effects of Miss Raven, at Morn-ington. On Friday next, 27th June, a large clearing sale of farm horses, machinery, and sundries will be con-

ducted at Ingle Park, Bittern, by order of N K Ingham, Esq, by Messrs T R B Morton and Son.

***F N FAIRS notifi es patients that his hours at Somerville this Monday only, June 22nd, will be 10.20 till 11.30; also that he will make a special visit to Hastings on Friday, June 27th, hours 11.15 till 3.30. Call early and avoid disappointment.

*** THE gold medal presented by Mr Marchant for the best all-round play-er in last Saturday’s football match, Mornington v Naval Base, was decided by the audience at Marchant’s Royal Picture show on Wednesday night last in the Mechanics’ Institute, and was awarded to Mr Albert James, of the Mornington Football Club. ***THE hall was packed when an ad-journment was made there, the mem-bers of the Fruitgrowers’ Association having arranged a social and supper in honour of the ladies who had so gen-erously assisted them during the year.

Mr C Grant occupied the chair and proceedings opened with an overture by Miss O Sherlock, which was fol-lowed by a recitation by Mr Herbert Woodhouse. Mr Earp was heard to advantage in The Toreador, from Car-men. He was followed by Miss Burn, who rendered her song in good style. Mr Walter Jennings then rendered a song in fi rst-class style and had to re-spond to an encore.

Supper was the next item on the pro-gramme and the long tables, literally groaning under their burden of good things and nicely decorated with fl ow-ers, were soon surrounded. A splendid supper had been provided, and after

every one had taken the edge off their appetite, Cr Griffeth proposed a vote of thanks to the ladies of the SFLG, and in a felicitious speech feelingly thanked the ladies for their past good services. Mr S S Gault ably seconded the motion, and the new president of the association (Mr Grant) supported the previous speakers.

Mrs Griffeth, the president of the Ladies’ Guild, responded, and said it gave her great pleasure to hear the kind things about her guild and to know that their services had been appreciated. She thought the guild a grand thing, and that the show build-ing would remain a fi tting monument to all who assisted.

Mrs Shepherd, the secretary of the guild, also responded, and said she was pleased to be present and deeply appreciated the compliment of the as-sociation in entertaining them. They did not expect it, which made them all the more appreciative. Some people objected to there being a ladies’ guild to assist the show association but she thought it a good thing. The past year had been a successful one and she hoped the next would be even more so. They could show a splendid credit balance and the Fruitgrowers’ Asso-ciation should take a lesson from their methods of fi nance.

The concert programme was then gone on with, the following lady and gentlemen taking part: Song, Mr Earp (encore); song, Miss Burn; song, Mrs Jennings (encore); recitation, Mr Woodhouse (encore).

The singing of the national anthem brought to a conclusion an entertain-ment in keeping with the successful year experienced by the Fruitgrowers’ Association and the Ladies’ Guild.

THE great Australian dream of home ownership has never looked better than this striking single-level family home that is presented in as-new condition. From the fi rst moments you see the home you are assured that everything here is in its place. A neat, paved driveway leads up to a double garage under the roof line of the home and the well-manicured lawns and gardens really stand out. From the entry, there is a bright formal lounge with reverse cycle air-conditioning and following the colourful terracotta tiles you walk through into a nice kitchen with stainless-steel dishwasher and under bench oven. The kitchen overlooks a dining area and perfect for kids and console games is a second living area at the far end of the home. From the dining area you can step out to a colossal undercover entertaining area highlighted by smart looking stainless-steel and timber balustrades and merbau timber fl oors. Overlooking a pristine backyard that is well-fenced for pets, a single roller door from the garage opens onto the deck also. There are four big bedrooms, all with nice plush carpet. The main bedroom has an walk-in robe and ensuite and there are built-in robes to the remaining three bedrooms which also share the main bathroom. Smart and stylish, this pleasing home measures about 223 square metres (24 square) and is set on a 755 square metre block in a well-established residential area.

By Ron Gunn of Utow CaravansTHIS question is often asked and should be discussed with a qualifi ed person before you buy the vehicle.

It is also important that you know your caravan and tow ball weights.

Most dealers will fi t the minimum tow bar to a new vehicle or even if you are buying a second hand car that already has a tow bar then this might just be of the minimum standard that is required to tow a box trailer.

There are many different types of tow bars ranging from: Standard tow bars –

light duty towing usually up to 1000kg and a tow ball weight often up to 100kg. They usually have little or no reinforcement which would generally make them unsuitable for use with spring bars as they are only attached to the vehicle at the ends.Mini Hitch Bar – These

are of a heavier grade steel and have a centre mounting point behind the tongue as well as the outside points. This restricts the fl exing movement and make them suitable for spring bars. These hitches will normally be able to tow a trailer

or caravan up to and including 1600kg when loaded and have a tow ball weight of 150kg. Weight Distribution

Hitch Bar – This is the type that a lot of people refer to as a Hayman Reece, although there are a number of manufacturers who construct this type of tow bar. They usually have a square outlet to take a removable tongue or hitch. This type of bar is connected to the vehicle in a number of places and sometimes will have additional structural support in the vehicle boot or load carrying area. These are suitable for spring bars and weight distribution bars. They will normally be capable of towing the maximum weight that the vehicle can legally tow.

All tow bars manufactured

and fi tted to a vehicle must have a compliance plate stating the vehicle model, model number and tested load ratings.

For more information either speak to us at Utow Caravans or a qualifi ed tow bar fi tter.

U-Tow Caravans can do servicing for your caravan and we are now qualifi ed to do test and tag on your electrical appliances. We also have a wide range of Caravan Accessories at our premises at 25 Simcock Street, Somerville.

Somerville Welcome to

We all want to give our children every opportunity to achieve and develop. Last weekend 30 children did just that when they graduated in front of parents and friends at Somerville Martial Arts Centre. The children were aged from 5 to 12 years of age and came from all over the peninsula to display the skill levels, determina-tion, concentration and development they had achieved in their Zen Do Kai Kids Kara-te training. It was a great day for all concerned. Graduation days are held twice every term as all children learn at a different pace.

ROY Roy Greive died on 30 May aged 99, just six weeks short of his 100th birthday. We spoke to him in 2010 about his life. Here is his story...

OBITUARY

Part Two:

Aeroplanes have always held a fascination?YES. I can remember when the fi rst plane landed in Hastings one Saturday morning. This was probably about 1921 or 1922. There was a strip along the foreshore just down from the Anglican church where a plane could land. People came from everywhere to look at it and they started taking the more adventurous up on fl ights, one at a time. After a few fl ights they had to stop as something went wrong. They pushed the plane along Salmon Street into a property where it was safe. Eventually it was transported away.

How did you spend the war years?I REMAINED in the Scouts until 1941 when I enlisted in the Air Force. I wanted to fl y but I found at the start of the war you needed a secondary education to get into air crew. I thought if I can’t fl y them, at least I can work on them. So I became ground crew and had an interest in aeroplanes ever since.

After initial training at Laverton, working on Lockheed Hudsons and the old Avro Ansons, 7 squadron was posted to Bairnsdale which was just opening up. I spent 6 months under canvas there and saw my fi rst belly landing. The planes were mainly Beauforts.I then spent some time at Sale before returning to Laverton which had received a delivery of Spitfi res ; this was hush-hush and they were referred to as Capstans!

Eventually I was sent to the Northern Territory and spent about 16 months at Gorrie to the south of Darwin; it was the biggest aircraft repair depot in the southern hemisphere. There was a salvage unit in Darwin which took parts off planes which were too badly damaged to repair. I spent about 5-6 weeks in Darwin as a member of this unit and we generally slept under houses which were of course built well above the ground.

Even so far from home you seemed to bump into locals. One day in Darwin this other chap and I were trying to get a look at a submarine down at the wharf when this navy offi cer shouted out; I thought we were in trouble but it turned out to be Eddie Fisher. Another time in Darwin I bumped into Barney Hodgins and we spent so much time yarning that I almost missed out on dinner. Tom Gibson, who was a

truck driver in the Territory, called in at Gorrie one day. His brother had just died so he was glad to have someone to chat to.

Towards the end of the war we left Gorrie; we were to fl y south but in the end we came back in army trucks. Our gear had been sent on and we only had an overcoat given to us by the army. We stopped the fi rst night north of Alice Springs and it was bitterly cold. We burrowed down into the sand and covered ourselves with our coats. The temperature was 18 degrees Fahrenheit! By 10 o’clock in the morning we would be back into shorts. From Alice Springs we continued our journey in the old Ghan. The other blokes played cards and would say to me, “What are you looking at? It’s so boring.”But being a farmer I found it interesting observing the change in the soils and the vegetation. I was disappointed when we got to Oodnadatta. I remembered it from my school days and had a somewhat romantic view of the place: it had a hotel, a garage and airstrip. That was it!

The rest of the war I spent at Tocumwal and I was there when it fi nished.

Bert never enlisted as he was required to run the orchard and look after Pop. However he was a member of the Volunteer Defence Corps which was a sort of Home Guard.

Are you still interested in planes?I STILL go up and look at the planes at Tyabb. A year or so ago there was a bit of excitement when one of the planes crash landed near the house. I heard this bang and looked out and could see one of the electricity lines dangling. He lost power and tried to fl y under the power lines but didn’t see the lower one.He was lucky he didn’t clip the fence on the other side of Graydens Road and that there was no one coming along the road. There was soon a crowd of spectators on the road, not to mention police and people from the airfi eld, the council, and the power supply company. One distacted driver ran into the back of another car which added to the excitement. They didn’t know how they were going to get it out but I suggested bringing a trailer down the lane so they were able to fl oat it out. I mentioned that I had been in the Air Force and the chap from the airfi eld asked me whether I would like to go to the Airshow in about 2 weeks time. When I said I would he promised

to send a car down for me on the day. It must be coming the long way round because it still hasn’t arrived in Hastings.

I never learned to fl y but I was always keen. I had a few lessons up at Essendon in the 30s and had the opportunity to go up into the air during the war years. Since the war I have taken the controls on several occasions when up with friends in light aircraft and loved the experience.

Can we come back to your family for a moment?MUM died before the war and Pop died at the age of 86 in the 1950’s. He had a few years in this house and could see the old house from his bedroom out the back

Maisie married Ottie Thornell when she was in her 20’s. He was a nurseryman and later an orchardist in Thornell’s Lane. They had two daughters, Val and Shirley. Shirley married George Moseley but passed away about 20 years ago. They had 2 children, Gary and Karen.

In about 1985 Bert took ill and it turned out to be cancer. I nursed him here for about 9 months and he was admitted to hospital just after his 73rd birthday. He died a few days later.

Has the church played a signifi cant role in your life?BERT and I were born into the church and it played a signifi cant part in our lives. When we were 21 Bert and I were both voted onto the Holy Trinity vestry and served for over 45 years. Bert was Treasurer for 25 years. I attended church regularly all my life but don’t seem to be able to get up early enough these days. I have to settle for Hymns of Praise on the television.

It would be fair to say that our faith kept us going in the early days when things were tough.

After Bert died when they were

extending Holy Trinity I donated $30,000 towards the building costs as a memorial to Bert. More recently, when the entrance was changed, I donated a stained glass window which is located in the position of the original entrance.

Finally, are there any things about Hastings that stick in your memory?WELL, Hastings has had some great football teams. They won 13 premierships in 14 years early last century. Their theme song was:

“We are the oysters, down by the sea. We can’t be beaten, you can plainly see.”

Later Bert and I would go to the football if work was not too pressing. I was a great admirer of John Coleman and his last game for Hastings would have been the last match I attended. He was great to watch, especially when the ball was in the air. However his brother Alby was a better player when the ball was on the ground.

Two other events that stick in my mind are the building of the hospital in Hastings - I was very disappointed when it was closed - and the changes to the Anglican Church.

Pop was Treasurer of the hospital for over 20 years and the nurses quarters were named Grieve House as a recognition of his contribution. He was also given a rocking chair and a smokers stand which I still have. It’s hard to believe these days that a hospital would favour smoking!

Footnote: After my fi rst chat to Roy I handed him two parts of the George Slocombe story which he had missed when they appeared in Hastings News and Somerville News. “Thanks”, said Roy. “I saw George the other day. He is starting to look his age.” How old is Roy again? 97 in a few months. And George? A mere lad at 90.

(Thanks to Roy’s niece, Val Thornell, who assisted in the compilation of this story).

F D& ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughIT was only a matter of time. When you’re super-famous, it’s almost in-evitable that you’ll end up fl ying a little too high, a little too close to the sun. Most of us would end up getting burned eventually. But if you happen to be a banana, you also run a serious risk of turning brown well before your time.

The constant adulation from ador-ing fans, the extreme wealth, the red carpets ¬ it’s bound to get to you even-tually. When the ABC announced that Bananas in Pyjamas would not be renewed, reference was made to reve-nue issues. This, quite frankly, ignores the fact that B1 and B2 have been out of control for some time now.

Breakout roles for large pieces of fruit are rare within the entertainment industry. This is especially so for ba-nanas. In the early days of fi lm, ba-nanas were often typecast: sidelined as being little more than skins on which comic actors would slip and fall. It wasn’t until 1967 and the acclaimed fi lm adaptation of Tolstoy’s classic, Banana Karenina that fruit started to be viewed seriously in Hollywood. Even then, it would be several more decades before B1 and B2 would eventually stand astride the world, a mighty fruit colossus.

B1 (real name Brian Slagg) was born on the Sunshine Coast. A trou-

bled kid, he came to Melbourne in the early 1990s searching for work as an actor. It’s fair to say that he had some-thing of a slow start. After small roles in Home and Away and Neighbours, Brian fi rst drew serious attention after his acclaimed performance as Willy Loman in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. But despite the magazine covers and the awards, it was a chance meeting on the number 67 tram that was to change his life forever.

Barry Cavendish never wanted to be an actor. A shy child who dreamed of playing football for North Melbourne,

he was renting a fl at in Carnegie when he fi rst met Brian. As he recounted to the New York Times in 1994: “It was clear that we should work together. The chemistry was obvious.” Before breaking into the big time, they honed their act at hundreds of amateur nights and talent competitions.

“It was a diffi cult time,” recounted B1. “Those early audiences just didn’t get us. There were plenty of hecklers.’ Even worse, some people even tossed fruit at the budding superstars. It was a shock,” said B2. “They had no idea how insensitive they were being. It’s

horrifying to be a working piece of fruit and to have someone throw a to-mato at you. I’d be standing there and I’d suddenly catch a glimpse of a rela-tive sailing past. It was pretty awful.”

Their luck changed when Play School agreed to include Brian and Barry – now calling themselves Ba-nanas in Pyjamas – in an animated sequence as part of the show. Just as The Simpsons had started off as a seg-ment on Tracy Ullman’s program, it became obvious to everyone that B1 and B2 deserved a show of their own. They got it in 1991. Originally, the Ba-nanas had wanted to do a hard-hitting current affairs program but were even-tually persuaded to do something for children. Despite their reservations, the result was a worldwide smash.

It’s impossible to downplay the im-pact of B1 and B2. Suddenly, doors were opening up. “It was nothing short of a fruit frenzy,” recalled B2 this week. There was the celebrated ensemble work Fruit Salad by the Wiggles and both Barry and Brian were inundated with offers. B1 was the fi rst to establish a movie career with the Western epic, High Plantain Drifter, whilst B2 chose more offbeat roles, including the cult classic Ed-ward Bananahands. Having struggled for so long, the Bananas were eager to cash in. There were books, DVDs, soft toys and even their own fragrance; and they swiftly became a moneymaking

machine. But as their fame grew and they started to earn some serious ba-nana bread, Barry and Brian began to drift apart.

When news surfaced that Brian had lost the lead role in Baz Lurhman’s, The Grape Gatsby, a troubled portrait began to emerge. Pictures of a clearly dishevelled B1 stumbling out of night-clubs and abusing photographers be-gan to appear weekly in gossip maga-zines. B2, on the other hand, seemed to turn his back on acting altogether; releasing an album instead. Although a commercial fl op, it’s hard not to listen to Barry’s rendition of Harry Belafonte’s Banana Boat Song and not feel a little emotional. The cracks were starting to appear. Although the recent announcement caught many by surprise, to me it was inevitable.

Fame is terrible thing and extracts a high price from those who seek it. My only hope is that B1 and B2 managed to pull themselves together. I realise they may each be tempted to pursue solo careers, maybe with a view to lucrative reunion shows somewhere down the track. For all of the tragedy, it’s worth celebrating the fact that the Bananas have almost chalked up 21 years. It’s a remarkable achieve-ment. I can barely get mine to make it through to the end of the week. In their prime, they were entertaining as well as healthy. Remember them this way.www.stuartmccullough.com

GO Show Gold! is back again with a line-up featuring some of the artists who became household names in the 1960s by performing on the GO!! Show, Australia’s fi rst national live-to-air pop program.

The show was hosted by Ian Turpie and later Johnny Young with Bruce Rowland as musical director.

The demand for another concert has been incredible and fans are sure to love the line-up that will feature at the Palais Theatre on 10 August.

Performers will include Normie Rowe, Johnny Young, Ronnie Burns, Colleen Hewett, Glenn Shorrock, Brian Cadd, Ronnie Charles, Dinah Lee, Ross D Wyllie and Tony Worsley.

Hits will include Smiley, The Star, Oh La La, Day By Day, Step Back, Dream Lover, Ginger Man, Katy Jane, Don’t You Know Yockomo and Velvet Waters.

The evening will feature the songs that made these artists famous along with duos from Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock, Ronnie Burns and Johnny Young, and Ronnie Charles and Brian Cadd, which will ensure a night of great memories and musical highlights.

There will be a tribute to Ian Turpie and Daryl Cotton who both performed in the 2012 Go Show Gold and have died in the past 12 months.

The Go!! Show hit television screens in 1964 to become the must-watch music show for a new generation of teenagers. It was a ground-breaking phenomenon when it went to air, introducing live and local pop music for the fi rst time.

It came to television soon after

the hugely successful tour by The Beatles, creating the perfect vehicle for a stable of Australian teen stars and changing the lives of Baby Boomers.

***A GIANT lizard that lived 40 million years ago has been named in honour of rock legend Jim Morrison.

Barbaturex morrisoni measured about 1.8 metres from snout to tail.

The Doors singer Morrison was famed for his fascination with reptiles and shamanism.

On 3 July 1971, Morrison got up to take an early morning bath in his Paris apartment. Later that morning his wife Pamela found him dead in the bathtub with a smile on his face.

The story of The Doors effectively ended with the death of Morrison. Kriger, Manzarek and Densmore

were all fi ne musicians but Morrison embodied the spirit of the band.

***THE Production Company celebrates 15 years this year with three of the greatest musicals of all time: Gypsy, Singin’ in the Rain and Broadway’s The Pirates of Penzance.

The season opens with Gypsy at the State Theatre, Arts Centre, 6-14 July with matinees on Saturday and Sunday.

Artistic director Ken Mackenzie-Forbes has announced the complete cast: Matt Hetherington (The Voice, Promises, Promises) joins as Herbie, the candy salesman who falls for Rose and becomes her manager. Christina Tan (Mary Poppins, Wicked) is Louise, who becomes Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous burlesque star. More Melbourne talent in Gemma-Ashley Kaplan, Nicki Wendt, Anne Wood and Nathan Pinnell complete the cast.

In total, the company for Gypsy comprises 28 artists, 27 musicians from Orchestra Victoria and a small dog called Chowsie.

Ken Mackenzie-Forbes said: “Gypsy is a star vehicle for its leading ladies and we have a fi rst-rate company, directed by the brilliant Gale Edwards, to make this a standout celebration to open the company’s 15th season.”

***REVHEAD action movie Fast & Furious 6 starring Vin Diesel has raced to the top of the Aussie box offi ce with a $2.07 million opening day. This beats The Hangover Part III, which took $1.7 million, and The Great Gatsby’s $1.1 million, both of which opened last month.

Iron Man 3 looks like holding the record for some time after opening in April with $3.4 million.

***RUSSELL Morris’s landmark Australian blues album Sharkmouth has offi cially reached gold sales status.

A TV special is in production on the making of the album and will feature the historical stories on which the songs are based. It will air later this year.

Sharkmouth is the singer’s fi rst top 10 album having spent more than 10 weeks in the ARIA album chart and showing no signs of stopping.

Morris performs at the Wangaratta Jazz festival in November as well as Deniliquin Muster, Bendigo Festival and the Anglesea Music Festival in October.

From 1967 to 1972 Morris had nine hit singles.

SIR Paul McCartney paid tribute to Elvis Presley by placing a guitar pick on a memorial to The King at his former home in Memphis, Tennessee.

McCartney, who was in the city to perform, made a special trip to Graceland, where Presley died in 1977. The estate is now a museum.

Presley sold more than 70 million records in his career and had more than 25 number one singles between 1956 and 1975.

Heartbreak Hotel landed on the number one spot in 1956. It featured Floyd Cramer on piano and Chet Atkins on guitar. After the studio recording, Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told a reporter the record was so bad he was thinking of withdrawing it. It was released a month later, in May 1956, and was an instant hit. More than 28 million copies have been sold.

Burning Love is my favourite Presley record. It features James Burton who played on recordings with Ricky Nelson, Emmylou Harris and John Denver.

John Lennon once said: “Nothing really affected me until l heard Elvis. If there hadn’t been an Elvis, there wouldn’t have been The Beatles.”

Presley died on 6 August 1977 but the legend lives on.

Straight to the pool room: Robert Rigby, managing director of Ambition Music Group, presents Russell Morris and album producer Mitch Cairns with gold album mementoes celebrating sales in excess of 35,000 for the blues album Sharkmouth.

Rotary - taking a global iniative

THE recent media interviews with visiting humanitar-ian and philanthropist, Bill Gates, serves as a timely reminder to review the role Rotary International has played in the global eradication of Poliomyeli-tis ( polio). Polio is a crippling disease that is now

and Africa. However, this was not always the case. Here in Australia many young children spent their lives with crippled limbs, leg braces, or the inevitably short life via an iron lung. In our developed society, polio, thankfully does not occur any more, but other nations are not so lucky. With 1.2 million Rotarians across the world, many in key business, government and industrial positions, there was a rare networking opportunity that could transcend borders and nations. In 1979, Rotary had a successful immunisation campaign in the Philippines with the Sabin oral vaccine. The campaign demonstrated the potential for Rotary to

work

through the United Nations and the World Health Organisation and put their world-wide network of members to the challenge of eradicating polio. Rotary has worked with the United Nations since the 1940’s and could arrange vaccines at very low prices, carry them across the world and with clubs in 130 countries could easily set up centres to handle outreach teams to provide vaccinations services. In 1985, Polio Plus was launched. At that time there were 125 countries with a reported 350,000 cases of polio. The brief was not the 350,000 cases but the billions of unaffected. One single case of polio could result in dozens of new infections. The target was to immunise every single child in all na-tions that were endemic to polio. The logistics of such a massive undertaking proved to be beyond the sources of just Rotary clubs and in 1988, while still using the Rotary model-ling - an agreement was reached with the United

Nations that saw vast amounts of money released through UNICEF, governments and private individuals - amongst whom, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation who has contributed and pledged $1.8 billion. 27 years later, two billion children have been im-munised and some 10 billion doses of the oral vac-cine have been made available. Of the 125 coun-tries that were endemic to polio there are now only three countries that remain as a declared risk and only 291 cases were reported from those countries.

OF FOOTPATH LINK BETWEEN MIRABELLA COURT & FRANKSTON-

FLINDERS ROAD, HASTINGSMornington Peninsula Shire has been in discussions with local Hastings residents from Mirabella Court and surrounding streets regarding the pedestrian link at the end of Mirabella Court. This short section of footpath between Mirabella Court and the Frankston Flinders Road footpath currently acts to provide connectivity for residents into the housing area located adjacent to this section of Frankston-Flinders Road.

Concerns have been raised about inappropriate behaviour occurring in this Mirabella Court pedestrian link involving vandalism, littering, unauthorised use by motor vehicles on the walkway, noise and general unsociable behaviour.As such, Mornington Peninsula Shire is proposing a trial closure via fencing of this pedestrian link to reduce the occurrence of inappropriate behaviour for the affected residents.

The Shire is interested in hearing views from the wider community about the trial closure. Written submissions regarding this proposal will be considered by Council in accordance with Section 223 of the Local Government Act and should be sent to the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939 or via email to Edward.Pocock@mornpen.vic.gov.au.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyDROMANA took its rightful place in the top two teams in the Nepean League competition with a command-ing ten goal win against Frankston Bombers on Saturday.

Coming into the match, the Bomb-ers held second place on the table after winning its fi rst eight games.

Dromana of course lost to Sorrento on Easter Saturday after being more than fi ve goals infront at three quarter time.

Many believed, including yours truly, that Dromana would win by be-tween six and eight goals.

On form alone, Dromana is a one and a half to two goal better side per quarter than Frankston Bombers. The theory proved to be spot-on.

The Bombers certainly had their share of bad luck in the match. De-fender Marcus Bate popped a shoulder in the fi rst fi ve minutes of the game, James Degenhardt was yellow-carded early in the fi rst quarter, Jay Reynolds twisted a knee in the second quarter and coach Duncan Proud pinged a hamstring late in the game.

No bad luck for the Bombers may have changed the fi nal margin, but it wouldn’t have changed the result.

Dromana was just far too good.The Tigers defence, led by Ricky

Johnson, Shaun Clarke, Jay Nerat-zoglou and Christian Ongarello was just superb. Frankston’s forwards Zac Longham and Scott Foster worked hard enough, but they just couldn’t have an infl uence.

Up the other end, Dromana always looked like scoring when they got in there. Anthony Bruhn booted four fi rst half goals, fi nished with fi ve and should have kicked eight.

Terry Wheeler was the best player on the ground. Matched up on the danger-ous Jason Bedford, Wheeler worked tirelessly both ways and was rewarded with three goals. Aaron Coyle played the same role on the other wing for the Tigers and booted two goals also.

Liam Hogan did a lot of the grunt work in the middle of the ground for the Tigers, along with Ryan Slocombe.

The Bombers did have some win-ners. Haydn Moore was superb, ruck-ing solo all day against Luke O’Neil, Michael Falconer and Stuart Cleeve.

Ryan Lonie had more than 20 dis-posals and kicked four goals, Jay Page worked hard from half back and Jason Kingsbury was clearly one of their best again playing on the ball.

The Bombers will go into the match against Sorrento this week minus their coach, Bate and Reynolds, however, should get back Brian O’Carroll and Shane Vandervalk.

Somerville has emerged as a genu-ine top fi ve contender after beating Crib Point by 22 points on Saturday.

In a high scoring and very enter-taining game of football, the Eagles smashed the Pies in the fi rst half, lead-ing by eight goals at the long break. The margin was still 32 points at three quarter time.

The win has pushed Somerville to sixth place on the ladder (16 points), just a game behind Pearcedale, which lost badly again on Saturday to Rye.

The Eagles have beaten Hastings and Crib Point in successive weeks and had it beaten Devon Meadows in that nail–biter, would be sitting in the fi ve right now. That loss might come back to haunt them.

On Saturday, Jed Sutton and Dylan Ryan with four goals each were sensa-tional, while Nick Brown was again a great focal point across half forward. Rowan Hogenbirk continues to domi-nate and Justin Allsop was also at his best.

The Magpies had no answers in the fi rst half, despite Dean Karies fi nish-ing with four goals and Jon Flack dominating with three goals. David Cook and Neil Clark also worked hard for the black and white.

Devon Meadows played a more at-tacking style of play against Sorrento on Saturday and managed to kick ten goals for the afternoon. However, it couldn’t stop the Sharks having 45 scoring shots, booting 23 goals and winning by 90 points.

The Sharks had 13 goal scorers on Saturday, Leigh Poholke, Tyrren Head and James Hallahan all contributing three goals.

Trevor Mattison was outstanding on the wing and Daniel Grant, Leigh Treeby and Cayden Bettham all domi-nated on the ball. Ryan Jeffrey was also outstanding at centre half forward and the ruck.

After kicking eight goals in the

Under 18s the week before, James Brigden made his debut for the Sharks.

Pat Harmes and Chris Doria worked hard for the Panthers down back and Heath Black and Ryan Talbot present-ed up forward. It was a much better performance from the Panthers than the one against Dromana the week before.

In bad news for the Panthers, im-portant player Brandon Wapshott was reported by two umpires for striking Sorrento’s Ben Schwarze.

Rye was pretty good against Sorren-to on the Queen’s Birthday weekend and backed-up that performance with a great win over Pearcedale.

Always tough to beat at Tractor Park, Rye had its work cut out, how-ever, led by coach Ben Holmes with six goals, the Demons opened-up a match winning break at half time and went on to win 16.13-109 to 10.6-66.

Matty Siberas was also outstand-ing for the Demons with three goals

while stars in Adam Kirkwood, Dar-ren Booth and Rhett Sutton were at their best.

Daniel Murray booted four for the Dales and Khalid Foggi kicked a cou-ple, while Travis Sauer, Chris Fort-nam and Pat Gamble were named in Pearcedale’s best.

The Dales need to bounce back this week against Devon Meadows and get their season back on track after a cou-ple of ordinary weeks. They maintain their position in the fi ve, a game clear of Somerville and Crib Point and two games clear of Rye.

Rosebud shored up its position in the top four and added some much needed percentage, beating Red Hill to the tune of nine goals.

It was a tight fi rst half between the teams, just 13 points the difference at half time, however, through the likes of Matty Payne, Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley, the Buds got on top in the second half.

Ben Shultz also played his best game for the season, kicking seven goals.

Ben Maguiness and Sean Holmes were amongst the best players for the Hillmen.

In the fi nal game, Hastings respond-ed to the resignation of coach Glenn Michie, belting neighbour Tyabb to the tune of 116 points.

Colin McVeigh booted six goals, Tony Mirabella fi ve and Jason Kestle and Peter Mawson three each as the Blues booted 11 goals in the fi rst half and another 13 in the second to win 24.13-157 to 5.11-41.

David Hull was outstanding for the Blues across four quarters and Luke Hewitt and Taylor Stratton were also amongst the best players on the park.

Justin Volk was Tyabb’s best, while Rowan McGrath, skipper Matty Dim-kos and Ryan Jones were also hard workers for the Yabbies throughout the match.

WESTERN PORT scoreboardProudly sponsored byTelstra Store Hastings

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyHastings coach Glenn Michie told his players before training on Thursday night that he would not be coaching them beyond this season.

Despite having his contract extended last season to beyond 2013, Michie told the Hastings Football Club that he thought it would be best for all concerned that he step aside at the end of the season.

Michie told the executives of the club earlier in the week of his decision, before sharing it with the players.

The resignation sparked some sensational form from his team on Saturday in its match against Tyabb, winning by a massive 116 points.

For Michie though, Saturday’s result against the Yabbies was too little too late.

Michie said he no longer believed that he could get the best out of his players, which was causing him frustration and inconsistent performances from his players.

“I have been coaching and want to continue my coaching style with this group, however, I’m not sure it’s what the group wants anymore,” Michie said.

“I look at it like this; when I fi rst started with Hastings, we were all on the bus together and were all committed to going in the same direction as quickly as we could,” Michie said.

“Now, I sense that the bus is on the side of the road and broken down. At times I’m on the bus with only a couple, others are standing around suggesting how to fi x it but not doing anything to help and then there are some who are not interested on even getting on the bus at all.

“As a coach, you want to teach and inspire your players to be the best that they can be. I just don’t believe that I’m able to get the best out of them anymore.

“I certainly have a passion for coaching but it shouldn’t be about constant disappointment and frustration and that’s what I have felt consistently this year.

“I need to do what is best for me, my family and the Hastings Football Club.”

Former club president, stalwart and committee member, Kevin Miles, agreed totally with Michie.

“Glenn has always been ex-tremely honest with the club and he was again last week,” Miles said.

“Glenn wasn’t enjoying his role as coach and thought that he couldn’t get the best out of the playing group any longer, it’s as simple as that.

“There certainly wasn’t any pressure from the club’s perspec-tive that resulted in Glenn’s resignation, despite the fact that we obviously weren’t happy with the results this season.

“Glenn has been fantastic for this football club and he will be long remembered as a very good coach for the club.

“What Glenn’s resignation does do is allow us to start looking for another coach, much sooner than others in the market will be doing.

“I’m not sure what Glenn’s intentions are next season but he’s a great, honest, fella and the Hastings Football Club wishes him all the best,” Miles said.

Michie has not ruled out either coaching or playing in either the Nepean League or Peninsula League next season. No doubt his phone will be getting a workout in the coming weeks.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyAT the beginning of round 10 in Pen-insula League, never had we seen a ladder like it.

Seven teams shared second place on the ladder, only percentage separating second place Karingal from eighth placed Seaford.

It proved one thing, that the 2013 Peninsula League season was very even.

Even the previously indestructible Frankston YCW had lost two games in the previous three rounds, smashed by both Edithvale and Mt Eliza.

At the other end of the ledger, Lang-warrin, which sat second bottom on the table, overran Bonbeach in Round 9.

On Saturday, the Kangaroos were able to repeat the performance, smash-ing Seaford for the second time this season.

In Peninsula League, you have to be at your best to win matches.

With a very ordinary percentage, Seaford is now in a little strife in eighth place.

They will need to rely on wins to make fi nals. Considering they have been beaten by Langwarrin twice, one really does wonder whether they are in

the best fi ve sides in the competition.Take nothing away from Langwar-

rin though. The Kangas fi elded their strongest side of the year in round one and have done so again in the past two weeks – all three matches have been their only wins.

The Kangas simply are not far off the mark. They should have beaten Chelsea after being up by eight goals in the second quarter, should have beaten Mt Eliza and had their chances against both Mornington and Edith-vale. Win two of these four games and Langwarrin too would have been pushing for the fi ve.

It’s (the fi nal fi ve) is going to go down to the wire.

Langwarrin was never in any doubt against Seaford on Saturday, leading by four goals at quarter time and going on to win 14.12-96 to 7.11-53.

For the second week in a row the Kangas played out the full four quar-ters, out scoring the opposition in the last.

Before the match, young gun Jar-ryd Amalfi , who missed the fi rst seven games with an ankle injury, said his side was primed to beat Seaford.

“We’re really confi dent that we will go to Seaford and beat them,” Amalfi said.

“Our defence is fantastic at the mo-ment, provides a lot of run and drive and we think we have the weapons up forward to kick a winning score,” he said.

Through the mid fi elders in Beau Muston, Daniel Wehner and Shane Urbans, together with Matty Naughton in the ruck, the side looks more than competitive.

It certainly was on Saturday. Luke Damon booted three and another two came from the likes of Andy Johnson, Shaun herdman and Aaron Shaw.

Michael Parker was at his best after a slow start to the season and Andrew Withers was at his best across half back.

There weren’t a lot of winners for Seaford.

Mark Di Blasio and Brad Doyle worked tirelessly and Aaron Walton and Brayden Irving led from the front.

Frankston YCW made life even tougher for Bonbeach on Saturday, beating the Sharks in their own waters by more than fi ve goals.

Only 14 points separated the sides at half time and 24 points was the mar-gin at three quarter time, however, the Stonecats lifted one more gear in the fi nal term and won comfortably, 12.13-85 to 8.4-52.

David Bodley booted four for the winners and Ricky Morris three, while a further fi ve players contributed ma-jors on the scoreboard.

Ben Tellis was at his absolute best through the middle and resting in attack and Ryley Hodson and Jai Coghlan got plenty of the footy. Sea-soned campaigners in Byron Barry and Brad Ulms did what they could to help their side to the win also.

Bonbeach again wasn’t able to go toe to toe with the opposition in the last quarter.

Dylan Jones took advantage of not have a recognised ruckman to com-pete against, continuing his outstand-ing season for the Sharks, while Shane McDonald and Ricky Ferraro were also at their best.

Bonbeach has now lost two matches on the trot.

Pines is now a game clear of the likes of Seaford, Bonbeach and now Karingal after beating the Bulls for the second time this season.

Only three points separated the teams at the last interval, however, the young Pythons were able to run out the game far stronger than the oppo-sition, winning 14.15-99 to 10.10-70.

The Pythons booted six goals to two in the last, again proving that it is the

strongest running side late in the game in the competition.

Guy Hendry booted four goals and Dale Tedge three for the winners, while Brendan Cowell was one of the best players on the ground with three goals also.

Matt Goodman played his best game for the club and Shaun Stewart and Jake Prosser down back were fi ne contributors.

Callum Dixon was the best of the Bulls, while Kristian Bliesner worked hard. Justin Peckett and David Hirst were again amongst the best.

In Sunday’s matches, Edithvale-Aspendale belted Chelsea by nearly a ton. The only disappointment for the Eagles was off-target kicking with 26 minors on their ledger. The fi nal score was 19.26–140 to 7.5–47.

Mornington went down to Mt Eli-za by eighteen points.

The job was always going to be dif-fi cult for the Doggies after the Redlegs got away to a fi ve goal to zip fi rst quar-ter.

Mornington staged a comeback in the last quarter booting 7.6 to Mt Eliza’s 1.2, but it wasn’t enough to get across the line.

The fi nal score was 14.18–102 to 12.12–84.

Redlegs do away with the Doggies in the Redlegs do away with the Doggies in the local derby, but only after a scare local derby, but only after a scare

VFLBy Casey FranklinDESPITE the vast improvement of the Dolphins this year, they just can’t play four quarters of good con-sistent football and last weekend was no exception.

The Dolphins travelled to Preston City Oval to take on the 7th placed Blues. The Blues have had a rocky run these past few weeks and both sides gave them-selves a decent chance of winning the match.

It was the Blues who started better with Kane Lambert having an impact immediately with a couple of touches and a goal.

From then on the goals kept rolling for the Blues, Mitchell, Hampson and Laidler kicked their fi rst and Lambert added another goal to his total. Three of the four goals were from set shots which means the Frankston defenders were playing too loose on their opponents.

The majority of the fi rst quarter was played in the Blues’ half with Frankston struggling to get the ball inside 50. On one of those few occasions where Frankston did enter the 50, Simon Hockey won the hard ball and hand balled to Sam Lloyd to kick Frankston’s fi rst of the game.

Overall the fi rst quarter was a demolition in favour of the Blues, their two ruckman Shaun Hampson and Robert Warnock were more than a match for Frankston’s Russell Gabriel. Their pressure was also superior making Frankston rush a lot of their disposal which lead to turnovers.

The second quarter was a much different story for the Dolphins who got themselves back into the game within 10 minutes off the back of some Khan Haretuku dominance. In the opening minute Haretuku took a screamer over Blues defender Matthew Wat-son and slotted his fi rst. Two minutes later he won himself a free kick and kicked his second.

Blues ruckman Robert Warnock broke the scoring run with a quick goal, but Haretuku was able to win himself another free kick and score his third for the quarter. The Dolphins were playing a more composed game of football and weren’t giving the Blues any scoring opportunities.

When Frankston’s Sam Lloyd goaled from a set-shot, the Dolphins were within 10 points of the lead. However as they’ve done all year, the Dolphins intensity level dropped and the Northern Blues made them pay.

The talented youth of the Blues were in the fore-front kicking the next three goals (Graham, Mitchell and Temay) and when Tom Wilson kicked their fourth unanswered goal the margin was nearing 40 points. At half time the margin was 36 points in favour of the Blues.

For the Dolphins Riley Heddles had been playing a great match keeping Carlton star Chris Yarran reason-ably quiet and Jake Dermott had been good rebound-ing off the half-back. For the Blues 20-year-old Dylan Buckley had been playing outstanding.

Football wise the third quarter turned out to be a dull affair, the Blues took their foot off the pedal and Frankston weren’t able to gain any ground on the scoreboard.

As the Dolphins tired their tempers boiled over and at times the umpire was forced to pay 50 metre penal-ties. Overall the Blues were only able to add one goal to their lead and no team scored after the 14 minute mark.

At three quarter time break Frankston coach Simon Goosey asked his team to play for pride and effort and in a way they did. For the remainder of the game their intensity didn’t drop away and they were able to keep with the Blues.
