Your guide to what’s on this weekend

for peninsula families

A RELATIVELY small wildlife centre at Pearcedale is achieving a worldwide reputation.

The internet provides businesses access to world markets, but once they have attracted at-tention this can also backfi re with negative com-ments sent from continent to continent within a nanosecond.

But there has been no such negative feedback for Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park in Tyabb-Tooraddin Rd.

Accolades spilling in from around the world have seen director Michael Johnson, left, scoop the pool when it comes to analysing comments posted by park visitors on the TripAdvisor website.

Moonlit Sanctuary has received a certifi cate of excellence for the consistent praise heaped on it by visitors.

Of 83 comments posted on the TripAdvisor site 69 rate the park “excellent”, 13 “very good” and nine “average”.

“Amazing experience for a European!! Not very big in size, but offers a great up-close experience to the Australian wildlife,” came from someone in Romania while a visitor from Germany had a “very eventful day with lovely keeper-talk and close animal encounters. That was only topped by a night tour through the park”.

Seven of the fi rst 10 reviews came from over-seas, including India, Japan, Canada, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

The awards“There is no greater seal of approval than

being recognised by one’s customers. With the TripAdvisor Certifi cate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confi dence to our business and our con-tinued commitment to excellence.” Mr Johnson said.

A VISION unveiled for the develop-ment of Hastings ensures High St re-mains the town’s business and social heart while providing for more housing in the town centre and enhancing the appeal of the foreshore precinct.

The Draft Hastings Town Cen-tre Structure Plan was tabled at last month’s council meeting, with council-lors voting to invite public comment on the proposals through a “comprehen-sive community consultation process”.

The plan addresses a range of “stra-tegic planning policies” relating to the “look, feel and function” of Hastings’

town centre to guide development over the next 15 years.

It includes recommendations on how expected growth pressures for addi-tional retail and commercial facilities and housing can be best managed in a way that “enhances the role of Hastings as the main centre for the eastern Penin-sula and the gateway to Western Port”.

A report for council considera-tion compiled by the shire’s strate-gic projects and planning manager, Frank Mangan, said preparation of a “streetscape framework plan” for High St was to be given the highest priority.

“This framework plan will provide a strategic basis for council to consider further proposals for streetscape im-

provements in High Street and future funding decisions,” he said.

High St, supported by large retail fa-cilities that can be accessed via a ring road, would continue to provide Hast-ings with its unique character, providing “a centre the community can identify with” and also “a competitive strength”.

August poll forAugust poll forRed Hill wardRed Hill wardA BY-ELECTION will be held Satur-day 23 August to fi ll the vacancy on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council created by the resignation of Cr Frank Martin.

The poutcome of a postal ballot will decide the new councillor for the Red Hill ward position held by Cr Martin for the past six years.

Cr Martin resigned in May due to recent poor health. He was fi rst elected in 2008 and served as mayor in 2011/12.

The Red Hill ward - established in 2004 as part of the shire’s amalga-mation - and includes Red Hill, Red Hill South, Main Ridge, Balnarring Beach, Somers, Merricks Beach, Merricks, Point Leo. Shoreham, Flinders, Fingal Cape Schanck, St Andrews Beach, Boneo, Fingal and HMAS Cerberus.

Nominations open Thursday 17 July and candidates who indicated they will stand by the start of this week are Joe Lenzo, of Safety Beach, and Dr Mark Fancett, vice-president of the Peninsula Preservation Group which last year successfully fought against a council-backed plan for a quarry on Arthurs Seat to be used as a tip.

Mr Lenzo, a critic of council’s plan for an aquatic centre on the foreshore of Rosebud and the reappointment of CEO Dr Michael Kennedy, is making his third attempt to gain a council seat.

Nominations for the vacancy close Tuesday 22 July, with ballot papers being mailed out in the fi rst week in August to be returned by 6pm Friday 22 August.

EMPTY shop fronts can drag a town’s look and feel down, negatively im-pacting on other businesses and giving a high street an “abandoned” look.Such is the situation facing Hastings.

The Western Port Chamber of Com-merce and Industry and the Morning-ton Peninsula Shire aim to change the situation by joining forces for a ‘Hello Hastings’ renewal project in a bid to rejuvenate the business hub located around High St.

The state government has pitched in $38,000 through the Department of Employment to get the project up and running. If it is successful there is future scope to develop the initiative further.

Vacant shops are being fi lled with artists, creative projects and commu-nity initiatives in a bid to make the town more attractive to residents and visitors.

Colourful signs have been posted up around Hastings letting people know about the project, which has the slo-gan: ‘Empty Space, New Place!’.

Chamber project manager Pam Ford said the focus was on using “empty space” to allow businesses to sign short term leases for vacant shops that have been sitting empty for quite some time.

“We’ve been speaking independent-ly with the shop landlords and they can see the value in fi lling the shops with businesses for the good of the town,” she said.

There are now six “micro busi-nesses” at six locations along High St

Pop-up shops a new front for HastingsPop-up shops a new front for Hastings

and its surrounds, mostly with an arts-based focus.

Chamber marketing and promotions offi cer Angie Baker said the response from shoppers had been “fantastic”.

Ms Baker has set up The Local Crea-tive “pop-up shop” at 10 High St, fea-turing locally-made art and furniture for sale.

The Hastings Renew idea is based on the Renew Newcastle not-for-profi t initiative founded by urban renewal expert Marcus Westbury in 2008. Mr Westbury visited Hastings in July 2012 to discuss the concept with western

port businesspeople.Other towns and cities around Aus-

tralia have followed Mr Westbury’s lead to offer short-term use of empty shops and offi ces to artists and others to turn derelict buildings into vibrant shopping areas.

It had taken just 12 weeks to put the Hello Hastings campaign in place, ac-cording to Ms Ford.

“It’s a fi rst for the peninsula and it’s great to have the support of the shop landlords.”

A previous attempt by the chamber to bring the concept to Hastings fl oun-

dered due to a lack of support from some real estate agents who did not support the idea (‘Chamber pursues ‘renew’’, The News, 26/11/13).

Micro-businesses lease the shops on a short-term month-by-month basis “to generate activity and drive business in-terest in otherwise empty spaces”.

Properties are still marketed and ad-vertised as being available for longer-term lease while they are occupied by the micro businesses.

IT’S taken two and a half years, but the wait is fi nally over – well, almost. The new Hastings CCTV street cameras have been installed and could be switched on later this week.

Western Port area councillor David Gar-nock said the cameras would be connected by United Energy and tested, then switched on at Hastings police station and “hopefully they will be tuned in and ready to go by next weekend”.

And United Energy says all they need is the “paperwork” from the shire’s electrical retailer before “fl icking the switch” – pos-sibly later this week. “This is all managed by the council,” said communications and corporate affairs manager, Stuart Allott. “But, yes, it should be done by the end of the week.”

The shire’s sustainable infrastructure di-rector Alex Atkins told The News the shire was “hopeful of power being provided to the cameras ASAP so that testing can com-mence before they are switched on for good. The ultimate timing of power connection sits with United Energy, with whom we are in constant communication.”

The nine cameras are on power poles near the foreshore skate park, on the corner of High and Salmon streets, in the car park be-hind the Westernport Hotel, on the corner of High and Victoria streets, in the car park near Woolworths supermarket and Aldi, in the Coles supermarket car park, outside Hast-ings police station, and in the Coles super-market car park pointed at the taxi rank and bus stop in King St.

Frustrations boiled over in the long lead up to the cameras’ debut, with the state’s Crime Prevention Minister, Edward O’Donohue, slamming Mornington Peninsula Shire Coun-cil for failing in its commitments to deliver on the CCTV projects in Hastings, Mt Eliza and Mt Martha.

He told Parliament in March the lack of progress in installing a state-government funded CCTV system at Hastings was of “great concern”.

“I am very disappointed that, after all of this time, and with multiple variations to your funding arrangements, council has still not been able to identify and resolve the nec-essary design issues to enable you to deliver these important projects,” Mr O’Donohue said in a letter to the council and local MPs.

He made reference to the community safe-ty forum following the tragic death of High St. jeweller Dermot O’Toole in July last year and a commitment that the project would be completed before last Christmas. He ‘noted’ that “council’s non-compliance with your current funding agreements may impact upon your eligibility for future funding from the Department of Justice and other govern-ment departments”.

However, Mr Atkins hit back last week tell-

ing The News the shire had kept the minister “fully informed” of the reasons behind the delays. “Council values the strong working relationship it has with the Minister for Crime Prevention and has kept the minister fully in-formed of the diffi culties being encountered in progressing these projects,” he said.

“Indeed, it was believed that the minister fully understood and appreciated the ex-tensive efforts council was making and the ground-breaking work being done by shire offi cers in resolving the technical and legal issues involved.”

The shire received grants from the Depart-ment of Justice in October 2011 for the three CCTV projects, but negotiations with United Energy have proven frustrating. “They didn’t budge one iota,” Cr Garnock said.

A stalemate over the installation of 240-volt transformers high up on four of UE’s frangible poles – which are designed to crumple when struck in a collision – caused lengthy delays. The company feared driv-ers may be electrocuted. This problem was solved with the transformers now being placed at the base of the poles.

Later, United Energy’s Stuart Allott said the ball was in the shire’s court as the parties agreed on two possible options at a meeting in March and it was now up to the shire to “determine the approach forward”.

“It’s been one hell of a saga,” Cr Garnock said. “But I am thrilled that the last of the poles are being wired up. Hastings is a bit of a test case and there is a push for other CCTV poles at Mt Eliza, Mt Martha and Rye, but the issues we will face will be the same in these locations.”

The $250,000 Hastings CCTV system, which requires all nine cameras to be in-stalled before it can be switched on, has been funded by the state government under its Community Crime Prevention Program.

The nine poles must be in line of sight so that the images of the furthest poles can be relayed to police. Cameras will be used for recording but will not be monitored 24/7. Footage can be extracted and reviewed after incidents and also can be used in court.

Hastings MP Neil Burgess said the CCTV system would make the town safer. “Hast-ings is a great place to live, work and raise a family and, although it is already a safe com-munity, the major increase in police numbers and further boost in security provided by the new CCTV system will be welcomed by Hastings residents and businesses.”

The shire recently released a draft CCTV policy for public input. “The purpose of the policy is to provide direction and guidance for the use of CCTV systems in public places for crime solving and crime prevention and the enhancement of public perception of safety,” the shire stated.

Point fi ve may be instructive in explaining the delay: “[The policy will] guide the man-ner in which the shire seeks funding oppor-tunities for CCTV systems to ensure that all costs are considered.”

THERE’S no doubt the long-awaited CCTV cameras in Hastings are a win for community safety – but who pays for their upkeep?

While Mornington Peninsula Shire received grants of $250,000 for the nine local cameras, and $60,000 for others at Mt Eliza and Mt Martha, that money is not earmarked for maintenance and repairs.

Western Port area councillor David Garnock told The News the council was concerned that once the cameras are installed “we will bear the costs of maintenance, repairs and electricity”.

In what he called a “bit of pushing back” at perceived intransigence by United Energy – which supplies power to the local grid – Cr Garnock asked: “Is the council responsible for law and order? Is that our job? These are fair issues that we are grappling with.”

But United Energy’s communications manager Stuart Allott was adamant: “The responsibilities for operational issues are the shire’s responsibility. That’s all up to them.”

The shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble described the costs as a community safety issue. “The council’s view is that we put aside those sorts of issues and not make a song and dance about them.”

Act. Snr. Sgt. Andrew Whitehead, of Hastings police, said technicians had been “in and out over the past few weeks” fi nalising the cameras’ operation at the station.

“They will certainly be an asset to High St.,” he said. “If we get a call we will have the ability to view the cameras and put eyes on a hot spot and get our units to trouble areas asap.”

Continued from Page 1“The focus on High Street is therefore an im-

portant theme that is expressed in a number of policies and actions,” he said.

With no major retail expansion expected in the near future, High St is proposed to further evolve as a “low-speed traffi c, pedestrian-friendly and liveable space” that better caters to “street life” and “out-door dining”

Over the 15 year period covered by the draft plan, Hastings’ population is forecast to grow by more than 25 per cent from the current estimate of 9600 to 12,000 by 2031.

That will require about 1100 additional dwell-ings, up from 3800 dwellings at the time of the latest census in 2011.

A report on housing in the draft plan states that, with demand for housing in Hastings expected to increase, “particularly with the development of the Port of Hastings”, medium density options in the town centre would be needed.

“The attraction of Hastings – a township with access to public transport, schools, a wide range of recreational and leisure activities, a well-de-veloped regional regional road network – should all support continued housing demand,” the draft report states.

“While there is some scope for further single detached dwellings to the west of Frankston-Flinders Rd, and in the ‘old Tyabb section’ to the north of Kings Creek, there is very little vacant residential land within the activity centre itself.

“In this context, the Draft Structure Plan en-courages redevelopment within the activity cen-tre, including the option for construction of ac-commodation above the retail premises (shop top housing).”

Mr Mangan said there was also a need to out-line areas for additional retail growth and com-mercial zoning following substantial recent ex-tension of retail services in the town.

“On the basis that the bulk of the retail expan-sion has occurred on the south side of High St, the draft plan nominates, in the context of main-taining the focus on High St, an area in King St north of High St as the best next opportunity for retail/growth/mixed use development, includ-

ing dwellings,” his report stated, adding that this would require the area to be nominated as a “fu-ture urban design project”.

“The area is currently used for car parking and the urban design project is to investigate how future development could be achieved, whilst maintaining car park supply and also providing for adequate additional car parks for additional development envisaged.

“This does not mean that the whole of the area will be used for new buildings, but that good ur-ban design requires the whole of this area to be considered.”

The draft plan also recommends better link-ing High St with the major retail developments to the rear through the creation of “green, safe and convenient pedestrian links that are separate from roads”.

These links are to be enhanced by “mini-parks”, which would become appealing places for the community to “meet, rest and play” in the town centre.

Two other urban design projects or “investiga-tion areas” are proposed in the draft plan: The “civic triangle” – the area bounded by Salmon St, High St, Marine Pde and Herring St; and The Hastings Railway Station precinct.

A separate plan for the foreshore area, enti-tled Draft Hastings South Coastal Manangement Plan, was submitted by the council in March.

The draft plan included changes to the public boat ramp access and trailer parking facilities, a new layout for the car park near Pelican Park and a pedestrian forecourt between the pier and the Hastings Yacht Club.

Other planned upgrades to the foreshore area include extensive landscaping works, completing the Western Port Trail between Pelican Park and the Warringine Park board walk, replanting pro-tected areas to “enhance the biodiversity values of the foreshore”, and “promoting and enhanc-ing” the Hastings south foreshore as a regional boating centre.

The Draft Hastings Town Centre Structure Plan is expected to be released this month for public comment.

Not happy: Residents of Hastings Cove Retirement Village and demanding a pathway connecting them to High St is reopened Picture: Yanni

RESIDENTS of a Hastings retirement village are up in arms over news a pedestrian link providing them with access to High St shop may be perma-nently shut.

A petition containing 48 signatures from residents of Hastings Cove Retirement Village on Frankston Flinders Rd was sent to councillors demanding the pedestrian walkway along Mirabella Court be reopened to allow them to safely access shops.

The walkway which provides ac-cess between Frankston-Flinders Rd and High St had been “temporarily” shut by council offi cials due to “anti-social behaviour”.

However, council offi cers have in-dicated the walkway may now be per-manently closed following complaints from residents in Mirabella Court.

Hastings Cove Retirement Village residents say the closure of the path has turned their previous “easy” 10 minute stroll to High St shops into a 20 to 25 minute “hike”.

The extra distance meant many of the less mobile residents simply could no longer make it to their local shops and vital community facilities such as doctors and transport, Hastings Cove Retirement Village co-manager Elaine Hemingway said.

“Residents have told us they’re angry and are demanding something be done,” she said.

“We were told the closure was only temporary, about a year, but now it seems as though it will be shut for good, which has a signifi cant impact on the lives of our residents.”

The shire’s infrastructure strategy acting manager Nicola Belcher told the council the closure of pedestrian

Residents battle path closureResidents battle path closure

access to Mirabella Court had been put in place “to address concerns with respect to anti-social behaviour and the safety of the residents who live in Mirabella Court”, she said.

“Since the closure has been in place, the residents have not experienced the anti-social behaviour and report that they have felt safer in their homes and their street,” she said. “It is intended that the closure will remain in place until it is presented to council for formal closure (or otherwise).”

Ms Belcher said while it was un-fortunate residents of the retirement village were no longer able to use the walkway, they had access to an alternative route via Melaleuca Drive to High St.

“Shire offi cers have assessed this route and it has a constructed footpath along the length and is less than an additional 300 metres when compared with the original journey via Mira-bella Court,” she said.

“Shire offi cers consider that this small inconvenience is acceptable over the total length of the journey and when considering the safety of the residents in Mirabella Court.”

But the residents disagree with this assessment, both in terms of the extra distance they now need to travel and the level of “threat” posed by the al-leged anti-social behaviour.

Council resolved to reassess the matter.

PENINSULA Health tai chi leaders have been recognised in the latest Minister for Health Vol-unteer Awards.

Health minister David Davis praised the group for their work in the community. They are among four other Peninsula Health volunteer groups and individuals to receive the award in the past fi ve years.

“We are proud of the tai chi volunteer leaders and all the impressive work they do. They help hundreds of people every year stay healthy, con-nect with others and build lasting friendships,” Peninsula Health CEO Jan Child said.

The seven tai chi leaders have run classes six times a week over 15 years across the peninsula attracting 80 participants.

They promote physical wellness and give participants an opportunity for social inclusion. Training by Arthritis Victoria has enhanced their role.

Many began as participants of the program and their experiences encouraged them to contribute. “The dedication of the tai chi leaders is remark-able,’’ Ms Child said. “Their commitment to their community is something that should be recog-nised and this award confi rms this.”

Dedication wins out: Tai chi group leaders Maryanne MacPhee and Doris Hilton (front) with Health minister David Davis (back) and members of the Peninsula Health community participation team.

POLICE were out in force across the Morning-ton Peninsula over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, issuing hundreds of penalty notices and breath-testing more than 10,000 drivers.

On Friday night alone, peninsula police con-ducted more than 4900 preliminary breath tests along Peninsula Link and Mornington Peninsula Freeway, detecting four drunk drivers.

Among those charged were a 21-year-old Mornington man who returned a reading of .072 and was also charged with disqualifi ed driving, a 30-year-old Frankston South woman with a .07 reading, a 65-year-old Mount Martha woman (.062), and a 23-year-old Frankston South wom-an (.072).

But it wasn’t just drivers affected by alcohol or drugs who were in the spotlight during Opera-tion Wasp, with police also focusing on speeding, mobile phone use, seat belt offences and fatigue-related issues.

Rosebud highway patrol offi cer Sergeant Pete Martin said police had mixed feelings about the result.

“It’s fantastic that we have spoken to 4926 drivers and they were all doing the right thing,” he said.

“However I am concerned that we still detected drivers who continue to have a few drinks and risk the drive home.

“We will continue to be out in force over the weekend and I urge all drivers to take responsi-bility for their actions and to remain safe on the roads.”

GERALD Durrell is a famed British naturalist, conservationist and zookeeper. Before his death in 1995 he had been at the forefront of wildlife preservation for decades, fascinating and capturing the hearts and minds of animal lovers world-wide.

This story isn’t about Durrell, but it would have never been written with-out him. It starts with him and shows how far his infl uence stretched, from his zoo on the island off Jersey in the English Channel, to Pearcedale on the Mornington Peninsula.

His love of animals and their continued existence may help save the endangered Tasmanian devil and orange-bellied parrot.

Durrell’s ideals fi rst fi red the im-agination of a young schoolboy in Mt Waverley, east of Melbourne, only to resurface years later as inspiration for a goal set during Michael Johnson’s “mid-life crisis”.

Johnson’s project, Moonlit Sanctu-ary Wildlife Conservation Park, opened in 2001.

A yearbook from his fi rst grade sees him writing about looking after a bird.

“It must have really got me and I wrote about it in class. I knew I want-ed to look after animals,” he says.

Gerald Durrell started collecting

animals for zoos in the United King-dom, including going to Africa.

Johnson was especially taken by Durrell’s My family and Other Animals, a humourous autobiography covering four years of his life on the Greek island of Corfu. Eventu-ally, Durrell started his own zoo and became more involved with animal conservation after realising he was supplying the same type of animals to the same zoos because of the rate of attrition.

“He started the world’s fi rst conser-vation zoo aimed at saving animals from extinction,” Johnson says.

Durrell also established a training centre for operators of “conservation-ist zoos”.

“I was at that stage in my life, hav-ing done a few things [including man-aging boatbuilding suppliers Marine Timbers] and gone through a divorce. You could say it was a mid-life crisis.

“I was 40ish and had a dream and decided it was best to do it now. I had seen people in their 40s building boats and knew they’d be old by the time they could sail [away in] it.

“So I enrolled in endangered species and conservation management.”

On his return to Australia, Johnson realised there were a lot of endan-gered species in Victoria: “Australia has the worst [animal extinction] record in the world. We’re pretty ef-fi cient at that.”

Sanctuary born of Sanctuary born of a boyhood dreama boyhood dream

Moonlit Sanctuary was to provide an insight into small nocturnal ani-mals, the kind “many locals had never seen before”, despite them not always being uncommon in the region.

“I decided I could help conserve animals and show them to people,” Johnson says.

The site of Moonlit Sanctuary was chosen because it was close to

Melbourne and the tourist routes to the Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island.

“The concept was mine, but estab-lishing the sanctuary was done with the support of my parents.”

As well as many resident animals, birds and reptiles, the sanctuary has breeding programs for six endangered or threatened species of animals

and birds: orange-bellied parrots; Tasmanian devils; regent honeyeat-ers; southern bettongs; spotted-tailed quolls; and bush stone curlews.

A cancer is decimating the devils in the wild in Tasmania, the number of surviving orange-bellied parrots is estimated at 50 in the wild and 300 in captivity while the quolls and curlew were once common on the peninsula.

The bettongs were wiped out on the peninsula by the 1890s.

Quolls were last recorded at Arthurs Seat in the 19th Century and the curlews have been extinct on the pen-insula since the 1940s, their demise blamed on changes in land use, dogs and foxes. Johnson believes they could eventually be reintroduced with landowners now making their proper-ties more suitable for native wildlife.

The sanctuary’s breeding programs for orange-bellied parrots and regent honeyeaters are carefully managed by committees of experts and govern-ment wildlife departments. Stud books are kept and populations managed.

Some of the birds have already been

taken for release into the wild.Johnson estimates the sanctuary will

attract 50,000 visitors this year.“Seven years ago I decided open the

sanctuary during the day, and it’s been our future. The night time is really different; daytime is more popular and I don’t really think people understood why a wildlife park would open at night.

“We struggled for the fi rst fi ve years and then started to move ahead after opening during the day.

Tourists come when they can – and it’s generally through the day, Johnson said.

He decided to open 10am to 5pm seven days a week and add a cafe.

“We didn’t market ourselves nearly

enough in the beginning. The media only likes something when it’s new and it is only new once.

“Putting more effort into marketing really paid off.”

A rise in the number of visitors also followed his decision to become involved with “active marketing” – attending trade shows in Australia and overseas.

“I was in the United States 18 months ago and met representatives of an Australian tourist business. I can’t tell if I got one or 1000 extra visitors, but we do see a lot of Americans, so something is working somewhere.”

Johnson’s marketing also involves working with the local tourism body

and other commercial operators.He has become as supporter of co-

operative marketing.Moonlit takes out advertisements in

magazines and prints and distributes its own brochures.

“I’m always looking for oppor-tunities to speak to people and go to Rotary groups and other service organisations as well as retirement villages.”

Vouchers are donated to schools. Visits to the sanctuary are part of the curriculum at some schools.

The sanctuary has 25 staff on its roster with a minimum two people working whenever there are night bookings.

The sanctuary operates under licence and has 65 species of animals, reptiles and birds.

It belongs to a zoos’ association and an eco-tourism association.

“We’ve jumped through a few hurdles we set ourselves – they were higher than those set by the govern-ment.”

The animals are obtained from a variety of sources, including breed-ers, other wildlife parks and zoos, universities and some, mainly snakes, have been pets.

“We have a very professional staff of keepers – our accreditation covers that – who run the animal kitchen, preparing meals for the different animals.”

Feeding the animals can involve buying frozen fl y larvae, insects and rodents from specialist suppliers and making mixtures of baby breakfast cereals, honey and Sustagen.

Some of Moonlit’s possums have already been seen by thousands, although the actual location of the nocturnal animals was kept a secret – they starred in a documentary about the relationship between inner city possums and their human neighbours. Filming possums on location proved too diffi cult for the producers while Moonlit’s “captive” actors were ready to take centre stage on cue. One of the brush-tailed possums has also played the role of a New Zealand possum in a feature fi lm.

THE Country Fire Authority has warned Morn-ington Peninsula residents of the heightened dangers of house fi res during the cooler months following a spate of deadly blazes across Mel-bourne’s south-east.

There have been four fatal house fi res so far this year compared to just two at the same time last year in the CFA’s District 8 region, which takes in the peninsula, Frankston and Melbourne’s bay-side suburbs.

CFA District 8 operations manager Trevor Owen said that while the coroner was still ex-amining the causes of the deadly fi res, residents need to be vigilant of potential fi re hazards.

“Tragically four people have lost their lives and many more have been injured in home fi res this year,” he said. “We are extremely concerned about these fi gures especially as the danger pe-riod, winter, is only just beginning.”

In just fi ve months from 1 January to 31 May, 70 residential fi res have been attended by CFA District 8 fi re crews.

There have now been more fatalities from house fi res across Victoria since the start of the year than for the whole of 2013, with 10 deaths so far in 2014 compared to eight deaths in 2013.

The single biggest cause of house fi res was leaving items such as electrical appliances, can-dles or cooking unattended, Mr Owen said.

A working fi re alarm was the single most im-portant element in saving lives, he added.

“Don’t forget to check on older relatives, neighbours, or friends who may need help check-ing their smoke alarm or developing an escape plan,” Mr Owen said.

As temperatures continue to drop, more people will be fi ring up their wood heaters, using clothes dryers and turning on electric blankets to stay warm, he said.

“There are simple steps people can take to pro-tect themselves to avoid a tragedy. These include making sure heaters are properly checked and maintained, chimneys are cleaned, and power

Deadly house fires spark CFA warningDeadly house fires spark CFA warning

boards are not overloaded. “Ensure your home has a working smoke

alarm, keep your clothing at least a metre away from heaters, and never smoke in bed.”

Another danger area is the kitchen. Of the 1897 residential fi res in regional Victoria last year, 37 per cent started in the kitchen.

“Never leave your cooking unattended and keep electrical appliances in good working or-der,” Mr Owen said.

“The most important message this winter is to take action – it’s simple and can save your life.”

An elderly Rosebud woman was lucky not to have been added to the toll after being rescued by an 88 year-old neighbour when fi re engulfed her home.

Firefi ghters praised the actions of the elderly man who helped rescue his 77-year-old neigh-bour from her Fourth Ave bungalow.

Five CFA trucks were called to the one-bed-room dwelling just before 9pm on 7 May.

District 8 Operations Offi cer Paul Carrigg said the bungalow was extensively damaged by the fi re and the woman was lucky to have escaped.

“There’s no doubt that the quick action of the man to alert his neighbour may have saved her life and prevented her from injury,” he said.

The 88-year-old man was treated at the scene by paramedics and the 77-year-old woman was taken to hospital for observation.

The cause of the fi re is being investigated but it’s believed to have started in the bedroom area.

“This is timely reminder ahead of the winter period for all Victorians to ensure their heaters and electrical appliances are all serviced regu-larly and checked for safety, and candles should never be left unsupervised,” Mr Carrigg said.

Lucky escape: Firefi ghters praised the actions of an 88-year-old Rosebud man who helped rescue his 77-year-old neighbour from a house fi re in Fourth Ave on 7 May.

Ramp openingRamp openingTHE opening of the Kananook Creek boat ramp last week by Ports Minister David Hodgett proved an opportunity for Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor to brief the minister on council’s other plans for the foreshore.

Council paid $120,000 towards the $600,000 boat ramp.

The plans for the Waterfront area include a marina at the base of Oli-ver’s Hill and build a new three-sto-rey building on a site now occupied by Frankston Yacht C.

The building would house the yacht club, a cafe and a restaurant.

History revealedHistory revealedTHE history of Frankston Mechanics’ Hall and Free Library 1873 – 2013 is about to be revealed thanks to a $3000 grant to Mornington Peninsula Family History Society.

Mornington MP David Morris said the money came FROM the govern-ment to “shine a light” on Victoria’s community history.

“The society plays an important role in our community and this pro-ject will not only help to tell the story of its development, but of our region as well,” Mr Morris said.

“This grant also recognises the important work done by the many volunteers of the society who play a valuable role in collecting, recording and sharing the stories of our past.”

The society is one of 63 Victorian organisations - schools, libraries, sport-ing clubs and museums - who will share in $350,000 in grants through the 2014 round of the program.

Minister for the Arts Heidi Victoria said the program provided access to stories that may have otherwise remain untold.

FORMER mayor Christine Richards and the Frankston Community Coalition ‘gang of six’ are pushing an idea to improve Frankston train station’s surrounds.

The group has been talking to Frankston Council about relocating several sculptures from the McClelland Gallery in Langwarrin to the station precinct in an effort to make the area more welcoming for visitors and residents alike.

Ms Richards said McClelland Gallery was on board with the plan but it had to be agreed by council before it could become reality.

“It’s a terrifi c way to leverage Frankston’s cultural assets and it would connect the station and central Frankston to some of the best art we have,” Ms Richards said.

The Frankston Community Coalition - a citizen lobby group formed to pressure politicians to give Frankston “a better deal” in the run-up to this year’s state election - has been critical of the state Coalition government’s latest $13.8 million Frankston Station Precinct Improvement Project draft plan released in April.

Ms Richards welcomed the $13.8m investment in Frankston but believed more needed to be done to revamp the station into a major transport hub with adequate car parking facilities for commuters.

Cr Glenn Aitken said he backed the community group’s proposal to install sculptures at Frankston station.

“Changing a place visually changes the way people react to it,” Cr Aitken said.

“Even at this early stage I can see how the idea has merit and I’m strongly supportive of their proposal. It’s on the right track.”

He said council would have to work through funding for the movement of the sculptures, if councillors agreed to sanction the move.

Ms Richards said the group had discussed installing seven artworks - “four major and three minor” - at Frankston station.

She said it cost “about $50,000” to move and then maintain a major sculpture.

This could be funded using part of the $13.8m state government money, according to Ms Richards.

“It would cost about one-fi fteenth of that money in total,” she said.

If council and the state government agreed to allow about $920,000 of the Frankston Station Improvement Project funds to be used to relocate sculptures, Ms Richards said they could be on display by the end of this year.

The Frankston Community Coalition will host a public forum meeting on Thursday 12 June at 7.30pm at Mechanics Hall, 1 Plowman Pl, Frankston to discuss the protection of Frankston’s natural assets. It will be an opportunity for Frankston residents to question state election Labor candidate Helen Constas and Liberal candidate Sean Armistead about their views on issues, including the green wedge, Kananook Creek and waste management.

THE fresh country air, the stillness of the bush, the rural sights and sounds only those who are part of the natural environment can appreciate. Welcome to the world enjoyed by members of the Peninsula All Trails Horse Riders Association.

It’s been a wonderful ride for long time members who share their equine passion on Sundays and on weekend-long trail rides all over the peninsula and further afi eld to rural hamlets such as Licola-Heyfi eld, Labertouche, Lake Glenmaggie, the Foster trail to Fish Creek and Tynong.

With about 35 members there’s always someone to ride with and most trail rides attract 18-20 members. Un-der president Rose Pignataro the club celebrated its 40th birthday in March with a ride at Marysville and the fu-ture seems steady under their feet.

Begun in 1974 by Ann Alexander – who advertised for enthusiasts in-terested in riding on the peninsula on Sundays, it attracted early members Derry Francis and Stewart Watt. Num-bers grew to 12-18 regular weekend riders and, towards the end of the 1980s, popular events such as those at the Tooradin Estate attracted upwards of 60 riders.

Members have a week away each year – often camping out or staying in

huts in the high country - and regular weekend rides capped off with barbe-cues and get togethers. Life was good.

Secretary Anne-Marie Alderson, who joined in 1998: “The mind boggles at this huge number of riders as, disap-pointingly, membership gradually began to fall away so that, by the 1999 annual general meeting – when Judy Turner was secretary - only four mem-bers turned up. Morale was low and there was talk of winding up the club.”

Members applied themselves to boosting numbers with posters and fl yers and had 30 members by 2000, including John Allnut from Pearce-dale, Jenny Low from Baxter, Fay Ryan, farrier Geoff McMillan and Denis Roberts and, “doing what our

forefathers had done before us” added Lang Lang, The Gurdies, Grantville, Corinella Beach, and the Anderson/Wonthaggi rail trail to their horizons.

Members voted to admit children in 2011 so families could ride together and ensure growth in numbers. The name was changed to Peninsula All Trails Horse Riders Association and a new era began.

Last year Dorothy Forrest sug-gested members wear club vests and these, with new caps, include a logo depicting a horse head on a map of the peninsula.

“We often talk to each other and agree that we have a great group of people in this club,” Ms Alderson told members at the 40th celebrations. “We

have been to so many places and still have so many places to go and share with each other.”

She thanked Marysville committee mBased at 122 Sandy Point Rd, Bal-narring, the club is affi liated with the Australian Trail Horse Riders Associa-tion and is open to all who like to ride. Members need their own horse and fl oat for travelling to venues on the Peninsula and further afi eld. Weekend rides offer comfortable accommoda-tion and safe penning for the horses.

Rides are on the fi rst Sunday of the month except January, with the length depending on the leader and the weather. They range from two to four hours. Membership is $80 a year ($20 membership and $60 insurance).

THE MT Martha quarry reserve is on the list of land to be sold to help pay for a swimming pool complex at Rosebud.

With no guarantees of any signifi cant gov-ernment grants Mornington Peninsula Shire is scrambling to raise money for the Southern Pen-insula Aquatic Centre (SPA), as its projected cost escalates towards $40 million.

Architectural fi rms Cox Architecture, Peddle Thorp, Suters Architects and Williams Ross will be asked to participate in a design competition for the foreshore aquatic centre.

The shire withdrew from a 2003 bid to rezone the quarry and several blocks of land above it af-ter opposition from residents and rejection by a government-appointed planning panel.

The panel said the high density residential zoning sought by council was unsuitable for the “sensitive and visually prominent location”.

It is understood the shire has been told it could reap $4 million by selling the 4.6 hectare quarry reserve squeezed between Stanley Crescent and Fairbairn Ave off the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach.

Property and valuations manager Yasmin Woods told The News last August that the shire had not yet “resolved the method of sale and is currently investigating development density be-fore rezoning the land is considered”.

Notice of the shire’s intention to sell the quarry, the former Mornington High School site and the Mornington Youth Club in Wilsons Rd, Morn-ington, is revealed 235 pages in on the 2014/15 budget papers (page 74 Section D).

The budget papers say the sale of the quarry is included in the $60,000 earmarked for “property disposal”.

It is stated that: “A number of property dis-posals, including the Mount Martha Quarry, the former Mornington High School site and the Mornington Youth Club in Wilsons Road, will be prepared for consideration by Council,” under the heading “How will 2014/15 be different from the previous year?”.

Nature reserve: Mornington Peninsula Shire is being urged to retain the disused Mt Martha quarry as a low key sanctuary with wetlands for birds and frogs instead of selling it to help pay for a swimming pool complex at Rosebud.

Boost for policeBoost for policeTHE opening of the Somerville police station at the end of this year would mean Hastings police will have a greatly reduced area to needing to be patrolled, Member for Hastings Neil Burgess says.“The Hastings police station will be open 24 hours and keep its full complement of offi cers, and that means that police numbers in Hastings will effectively double when Somerville opens,” he told The News.This presence would be complemented by the installation of nine CCTV cameras in Hastings.

Streets Association want the quarry retained as open land and restored as a low-key nature re-serve with wetlands for birds and frogs.

Cr David Gibb, whose Seawinds ward includes the quarry, said it had been the shire’s longstand-ing aim to sell the quarry, although he had no idea when it would go on sale.

“It’s just sort of progressing,” he said, adding that the sale had also been listed in the previous year’s budget.

Cr Gibb said councillors did not “micro-man-age” the sale of unwanted assets once a decision had been made for their disposal.

His ward colleague Cr Graham Pittock on Friday said he “hadn’t heard a word” about the planned sale.

However, he was happy for the quarry to go “for the right purpose”.

Cr Pittock said four housing blocks owned by the shire above the quarry face had “big issues” of amenity for neighbouring property owners.

“We are desperately short of money and up to $50 million might be needed for the SPA at Rose-bud,” he said.

Cr Pittock said the latest estimates of $40 mil-lion did not include “$7 million in geotechnical considerations which we were told about some years ago”.

He said land earmarked for disposal by the shire at the rear of Eastbourne Primary School in Rosebud was large enough for the aquatic centre.

Selling that open space for housing and then using the foreshore for the SPA leads to a diminu-tion of open space.”

NINE people were seriously injured – including a young man who remains in a critical condition – in a horror day on Frankston roads on Wednes-day.

Six vehicles were involved in two separate ac-cidents at Seaford and Langwarrin in wet condi-tions on Wednesday evening.

Two people taken to The Alfred hospital by helicopter in critical conditions while a further seven victims were transported by ambulance to Frankston Hospital suffering serious injuries.

A third accident on Monday evening involving an out-of-control semi-trailer resulted in a further two people being seriously injured, taking the injury toll on Frankston roads to 11 in just three days.

The most serious incident occurred about 10.30pm on 4 June when a Toyota Camry trav-elling “at high speed” north along the Nepean Highway slammed into the rear of a utility vehi-cle near Seaford Rd before veering out of control onto the wrong side of the road into the path of an oncoming Holden sedan.

The driver of the Camry sustained life-threaten-ing injuries and remains in intensive care at The Alfred hospital, while the driver of the utility and four people travelling in the Holden Commodore were all seriously injured.

A fourth vehicle parked on the western side of the highway was also extensively damaged in the crash.

The highway was closed in both directions for more than six hours while police, ambulance, SES and CFA crews attended the injured and cleared the wreckage.

Earlier in the evening, a man aged in his 60s was critically injured and a 49-year-old woman suffered serious injuries in a head-on collision on the Westernport Highway near North Rd in Lang-warrin South.

Police said it appeared the male driver travel-ling in a Mazda sedan had “somehow lost con-trol and ended up on the wrong side of the road”, possibly after attempting to overtake a truck in wet conditions, and collided with the woman’s oncoming Ford Falcon sedan about 5.30pm.

CFA and SES rescue teams had to cut the roof of the Mazda sedan away in order to get the in-

jured man out of the wreckage. He was fl own by ambulance helicopter to The Alfred hospital where he remains in serious but stable condition.

The female victim in the second vehicle also suffered serious injuries, but was transported by ambulance to Frankston Hospital.

Senior Constable Steve Caple of Carrum Downs highway patrol said it was a shocking day for the Frankston community.

“There are nine people who didn’t make it home last night, nine people whose lives will be forever affected by the injuries and trauma they’ve sus-tained,” he said. “Not to mention all those family members, friends and members of the communi-ty, as well as emergency services personnel who have to attend these terrible scenes, who will all be affected by these tragedies. “The wet condi-tions would have played a part, but drivers need to adjust to the conditions, and above all, be a bit more patient. These accidents are all avoidable if drivers simply take greater care and show more patience. It’s a terrible price to pay.

Senior Constable Caple commended the work of the numerous SES and CFA volunteers who attended the accidents.

“They provided invaluable support in helping deal with these terrible accident scenes, and we can’t thank them enough,” he said. “I’m in awe of their commitment, especially when you con-sider most of them are volunteers who give up their own time and don’t even get paid for their efforts.”

On Monday 2 June, two people were injured when the car they were travelling in on Baxter Tooradin Rd in Langwarrin South collided with a semi-trailer about 4.45pm.

Police said the driver of the semi-trailer had been forced to brake suddenly for a car stopped on the highway to make a right-hand turn. How-ever, the semi-trailer skidded out of control in the wet conditions and jack-knifed into the path of an oncoming sedan.

A female passenger in the car was seriously in-jured and fl own to The Alfred hospital for treat-ment, while the male driver was taken by ambu-lance to Frankston Hospital. Both are now listed as being in a stable condition.

The road was closed about fi ve hours while CFA, EPA and VicRoads offi cers worked to clean up 400 litres of spilled diesel.

AN EXTRAORDINARY thing happened at last Monday’s Development Assessments Com-mittee meeting. Apart from approving the pro-posed Arthurs Seat Skylift proposal, councillors voted unanimously to approve another matter, which the previous week they had unceremoni-ously thrown out.

Or did they approve something signifi cantly, or even slightly, different? It seems not.

Here is the 26 May Notice of Motion from Cr Tim Rodgers (Nepean ward), which got the thumbs-down:

“That the matter of Planning Application number P13/1830, in respect to Lot 5, 3080 Point Nepean Road, Sorrento be heard and de-termined by Council and not under delegation by Council offi cers and on a date to be fi xed by Council.”

And the 2 June motion from Cr Hugh Fraser (Nepean ward), which was unanimously ap-proved:

“That the matter of Planning Application number P13/1830, in respect to Lot 5, 3080 Point Nepean Road, Sorrento be heard and determined ...” and so on.

The motions appear to be identical. Why then was the fi rst defeated and the second approved? How could it be that the two councillors' sum-maries supporting their motions, also identical, be repugnant and illogical to some councillors one week and fi nd favour with them seven days later?

Here is part of the argument put at both meetings:

“The property, the subject of this planning application to council, is on the shore of Port Phillip Bay, and is part of the signifi cant herit-age site of the 1803 Collins First Settlement of Port Phillip, requiring consideration of any treatment in respect of both the sensitive envi-ronment of the eroding cliff face and considera-tion of the public viewing across it from the neighbouring Parks Victoria's lookout towards the Western Sister and beach and waters of Sullivan Bay.”

This is indeed a signifi cant historical site – the spot where Victoria's European occupa-tion began – worthy of, if you like, gaining the offi cial ceremonial imprimatur of elected councillors representing the community rather than being just another piece of paper passing anonymously over a council offi cer's desk.

Cr Rodgers had argued this in the chamber. He was rebuffed with windy arguments, some containing minute particles of logic. He was fi nally shouted down and threatened when he tried to inform the chamber that it had been misled on a signifi cant fact. A point of order overruled without being heard? What are we coming to?

Then, a week later, Cr Fraser moved the same motion. Cr Rodgers seconded it. For? Against? Passed unanimously!

Some councillors – namely Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, David Gibb and mayor An-tonella Celi – might have felt a mite foolish for approving what was anathema to them just a week earlier. Cr Celi perhaps doubly so: she had used her casting vote to defeat the Rodgers motion when the chamber was tied four-all.

What is happening here? It appears the Gibb faction, now minus Frank Martin, who resigned recently leaving the chamber locked at fi ve-all, is inclined to vote down any move originated by their opponents (councillors Rodgers, Fraser, Lynn Bowden, Bev Colomb

and Graham Pittock), no matter what the logic or validity of the position they are opposing.

Those who monitor council fervently hope it has not descended to this; they hope that the craziness of the 26 May meeting will not recur. Important, serious matters are looming that need better than blind knee-jerk responses from the suddenly disempowered Gibb-Shaw faction.

Behind the scenes is furious manoeuvring for the Red Hill ward Mr Martin recently vacated. Whichever side wins will be the majority on two key votes – whether to reappoint chief executive offi cer Michael Kennedy for a fi fth time or advertise his job; and what policy to adopt on that hoary old amphibious elephant, the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre.

It appears the Red Hill ward election will be held on 23 August. Before that, council could well decide what to do about Dr Kennedy's job and whether to do it while Red Hill ward resi-dents are effectively disenfranchised. (Disclo-sure: this writer is a Red Hill ward resident.)

Here is a thought: councillors could bring for-ward their decision on the CEO's job, deciding to advertise the position in the absence of a full complement of councillors. Dr Kennedy could then re-apply for his job and, if councillors, including the newly elected one, regard him as the best applicant, he will be reappointed.

It can be argued with considerable force that to reappoint the CEO in a “hung” chamber, where his future is dependent on the mayor's casting vote, would taint all concerned.

It is a fi ne dilemma for some councillors normally aligned with the Gibb faction, two of whom (Dixon and Garnock) are part of the 2012 intake. Are they independent thinkers, or will they follow the leaders, as apparently they did in voting against Tim Rodgers' motion on 26 May?

Watch this space.

Tending the rosesTending the rosesMORNINGTON Botanical Rose Garden volunteers will wield their secateurs in earnest at a pruning event on the weekend of 12 and 13 July.

They will be assisted by members of the Victorian Rose Society and volunteers from the Morwell Cen-tenary Rose Garden. Experts will give free pruning demonstrations at 11am and 2pm both days.

Committee member Graham Dent said volun-teers worked as a group on Mondays and Tuesdays and other days individually once they had attained enough knowledge to be able to correctly attend the roses.

New volunteers are welcome to join the group to maintain more than 4000 roses.

The gardens - in Civic Reserve, Dunns Rd on the corner of Tyabb Rd - are open all hours for people to enjoy the environment. Details: 5976 1615.

Bid for third lineBid for third lineTHE state government is being asked to climb aboard a plan to electrify the railway line to Hastings between Frankston and Baxter.

Frankston Council says benefi ts include being able to stable on the line overnight instead of blocking a third line from Frankston to the city and letting commuters from the peninsula park their vehicles and board at Baxter.

The council wants up to $1 million to help prepare a business case for the estimated $40 million project.

“Everyone would be better served all round,” Cr James Dooley told The News.

“The population is growing steadily around Lang-warrin and Baxter and many more people are driving all the way to Frankston to commute. With this scenario they wouldn’t need to.

“Both Monash University and Frankston Hospital would be accessible by train and those living in Kar-ingal, Frankston Heights and Langwarrin would have transport options and employment opportunities not currently available to them.”

He said trains stabled at Baxter overnight would suffer less graffi ti damage.

The council is looking for a state government com-mitment to the project in which the third line running north to the city would be used by express services.

CONTROVERSIAL plans to build a new chairlift at Arthurs Seat have been given the go ahead by Mornington Peninsula Shire after councillors nar-rowly voted in favour on the planning permit application.

About 60 people opposed to the $14 million Skylift gondola project gath-ered at Arthurs Seat the weekend be-fore the decision was made but protest and song failed to persuade the major-ity of councillors to vote against the proposal.

A fi ve-to-four vote saw the applica-tion squeak through last Monday even-ing (2 June).

Crs Andrew Dixon, David Garnock, David Gibb, Anne Shaw and mayor Antonella Celi backed the Skylift pro-ject. Crs Bev Colomb, Tim Rodgers, Hugh Fraser and Lynn Bowden op-posed the planning permit application.

Cr Graham Pittock was on leave. Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Mar-tin resigned late last month due to ill health.

Dozens of objectors fi lled the public gallery at last week’s council meeting and passions ran high as some voiced

their displeasure at the prospect of the Skylift consortium’s bid to build the new chairlift becoming reality.

Save Our Seat group member Mat-thew Bisogni told The News that he believed the council meeting was “a waste of time”.

“Everyone knew what was going to happen and I’m angry that there’s been so little regard for Arthurs Seats resi-dents by councillors who are supposed to represent the community,” he said.

“We would have been happy to ac-cept a new chairlift that was the same size as the previous one, but – once again – the ‘little person’ and the resi-dents have been screwed.”

Mr Bisogni questioned the need for the larger Skylift chairlift operation with a scope larger than the previous attraction’s footprint.

“This [Skylift] is not the same thing at all,” he said.

“If people don’t wake up and realise this now then by the time it’s built it will be too late.”

He said objectors were now assess-ing their legal options and may launch an appeal against council’s decision that could be heard at VCAT.

Arthurs Seat SkyLift Pty Ltd head Simon McKeon acknowledged the

chairlift application process was not over when he spoke to The News.

“It’s taken six or seven years to get to this point and the vote at council was another stage in the process,” he said.

“The big thing that I was really hap-py about was seeing the comprehen-sive report prepared by council offi cers and other experts.”

Mr McKeon, a Macquarie Bank investment banker and 2011 Austral-ian of the Year for his philanthropic work, said he had never “hidden the fact this [Skylift] will have an effect on some residents” but he hoped – in

time – they would respect “the overall outcome”.

“So many people were very sad-dened when the original chairlift had to shut down and yet there were objec-tions to that project when it was fi rst suggested back in the 1950s.”

He said the consortium had worked with Parks Victoria to ensure the Sky-lift caused as little disruption to native fl ora and fauna as possible.

“We’ve always done the right thing – we’ve listened to community concerns and we’ve designed the gondola ride so it’s accessible to elderly and disa-

bled passengers.”Mr McKeon said the Skylift project

had been scaled back from its original design and this made it a less lucrative proposition for the consortium.

“People say I’ll lose money on this and they may be right, but I hope I don’t,” he said.

Asked whether he had ever consid-ered walking away from the Skylift project, Mr McKeon said he thought about doing so “every day” but said he was determined “to bring a much-missed tourist attraction back to the peninsula”.

POLICE have been granted sweeping new pow-ers to deal with drunk and unruly behaviour in and around Mornington’s notorious late-night en-tertainment precinct, including the ability to ban troublemakers from the area for periods of up to twelve months.

Mornington has become the fi rst township on the peninsula to be declared a “designated area”, giving police a raft of enhanced powers to deal with violence and anti-social behaviour.

These include the ability to conduct on-the-spot searches, order people to immediately leave the area, and ban individuals from licensed premises and the town centre for 72 hours.

In addition, police can apply for exclusion or-ders barring individuals from the entertainment precinct for up to 12 months.

The new powers were granted following a re-quest from peninsula police commanders to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation in response to ongoing incidents of violence and anti-social behaviour connected to the town’s high number of late-night drinking es-tablishments.

The designated area centres on Main St and in-cludes Mothers Beach and Drake St to the north, all of Schnapper Point, Royal Beach and King St to the south, and Cromwell Street to the east.

Mornington senior sergeant Stephen McKenzie said the request for enhanced powers followed a prolonged campaign by police, council and various business and community organisations to curb alcohol-related violence, drug taking, prop-erty damage and anti-social behaviour in the area.

The town has become a magnet for late-night revellers due to the large number of licensed premises permitted to open until 3am and beyond.

Senior Sergeant McKenzie that in the past, in-dividuals who had been charged with violent acts or other criminal offences would often return to

the area within hours to cause more trouble.“It’s frustrating for police to keep coming across

these same individuals and be powerless to stop them returning to the area to re-offend,” he said. “But the new powers enable us to get these trouble-makers off the street and keep them out of the area.”

Fellow Mornington senior sergeant Ron Barba-ry said dealing with alcohol-related violence had long been a focus for police in the area, but stand-ard processes were not suffi cient to deter drunk or drug-affected troublemakers.

“We actively target and do not tolerate behav-ioural offences in our local area, including re-moving drunks off the street and issuing infringe-ment notices,” Senior Sergeant Barbary said.

“This police activity is having a positive im-pact, but does not prevent these sorts of people from returning and causing more trouble.

“[The designated area order] takes it to another level and will help create a safer environment for everyone.”

Police would work closely with operators of licensed venues in the area to ensure effective enforcement of banning notices and exclusion or-ders, while CCTV cameras would also be utilised to monitor individuals subject to orders.

“So if you come into Mornington in contraven-tion of a banning notice or exclusion order, police will fi nd you,” Senior Sergeant Barbary said.

Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation CEO Catherine Myers said Mornington was 18th area in Victoria to be de-clared a designated area, joining locations such as Frankston, Dandenong, Geelong, St Kilda and Melbourne’s CBD.

She said locations were identifi ed after review-ing the level of alcohol related violence and dis-order around licensed premises in certain areas.

Recently appointed Mornington Peninsula po-lice commander Inspector Karen Nyholm said the problem of alcohol-related violence needed to be addressed by the broader community, including businesses.

Walking the talk at PenbankWalking the talk at PenbankWHAT’S NEW

By Paul Thompson - PrincipalEXCURSIONS are great. You learn so much. And if you are adventurous, like explorers, ex-cursions in schools can become expeditions. That is what has happened at Penbank School in Moo-rooduc.

Wugubank is Penbank’s annual expedition. It is the Wugularr School, a remote school in the Northern Territory and the Penbank Mob taking a journey each year to each other’s place. In 2009 Penbank and Wugularr developed this amazing partnership predominantly involving students in Year 5 & 6. In preparation for these expeditions, the children know they are going to meet new people and make new friends. They also know they are going to make new discoveries and visit new places, just as explorers do. These expedi-tions are amazing adventures. So much is learnt and discovered about their very different worlds.

Words that describe these experiences such as exciting, challenging, exhilarating, amazing and beautiful come to mind when watching the chil-dren in their work and play.

As the schools journey together they know to

walk softly on the land and appreciate the beauty of the surrounds of each other’s environments. They learn about each other through their lan-guages, stories and schoolwork. They teach each other all sorts of things. There are constant smiles on faces, as the children are so happy to see each other. They freely laugh because they have so much fun and love to share jokes. They dance, sing, play sport; they walk, they talk!

These Wagubank expeditions are amazing jour-neys. With our feet we run, jump; we walk. And as we walk, we talk. And with our hands we show that we are friends because it is through our hands that we give and share. And mostly the children are arm in arm or holding hands because they are great friends.

Wagubank at Penbank is held during National Reconciliation Week. This year’s theme, ‘Lets’s Walk the Talk’ absolutely refl ects the work that enables these two school communities to meet each year.

The Penbank School family truly understands that reconciliation is a work in progress.

The Journey continues – Let’s Walk the Talk!

By Gail Loveridge - Heritage TavernWHEN we start a business we are excited about our product or service. At that early time, we should write a business plan. This is basically a story for ourselves about how we are going to do things. There a several templates on line which can assist you with this and the process of writing this plan down, helps to sort out the thought process.

We should also describe our customers and in understanding them and their needs, our production and selling style can evolve. These steps should be undertaken before you decide on business cards and uniforms, logos etc.

If you are a business owner who is going to be hands on and involved in production, you are working in your business. You develop systems and procedures, train workers and make sure things are done how you need them done. This ensures a product to be proud of, keeps you up to speed on what customers want, but it can of-ten bury you in the hard work aspect of business and leave little room for anything else. I grew an agistment business simply based on being a quiet, hard worker who did a job well and word of mouth was my advertising. The business was a small cottage style industry which I ran while my son was young. It helped develop many of the skills I now apply to a larger business.

In today’s business environment, a quiet achiever often is overlooked and loses work. If you are looking to grow your business, someone needs to be working on it. To work on your busi-ness, a big part of that is marketing and selling. How often have you been out somewhere and someone asks for your card ? We’ve all been caught out. Make sure you have cards in your bag no matter where you are.

It is all about talking the talk!Since taking on the Tavern at Balnarring I

have a huge learning curve about marketing. Not only, the design and placement of advertise-ments in the local paper and magazines, but also websites, face book, campaigns and promotions. The consultation process has been overseen by BSE enterprises. If you want your business to grow and be competitive, I encourage you to explore all aspects of marketing.

Partnering is another thing that is always a win/ win situation. After losing our hardware shops, everyone should consider “Shopping Lo-cal”. To this end I encourage you to partner with other businesses in the area to promote each business’s products and services. The wedding service at the Heritage Tavern can now offer “Big Day Event styling” to design and set up the function space as well as” Ivore” which is a local online gift registry. They will wrap a gift in beautiful papers and deliver it as requested.

We have also partnered with locally produced wagyu beef and this outstanding product is a credit to its grower and makes us proud to showcase it. Coopers, Red Hill brewery and Mornington Peninsula brewery also work with us on several campaigns.

The Heritage Tavern is regularly used for busi-ness meetings, presentations large and small.

Whatever your business needs we can offer you a cosy spot in front of the fi re or an under covered area with a large TV that will comfort-ably seat 120 people.

Whether it is to conduct business or reward employees or celebrate something, the Tavern will work to assist you to host an event or din-ner. Just phone us on 59832597.

Speak soon!

Compiled by Cameron McCulloughMEMBERS of the Frankston Choral Society are notifi ed that the next re-hearsal will be held on Wednesday, 17th June instead of Monday.

***RUMOUR has it that a local company proposes to open a skating rink at Frankston, and are now negotiating for suitable premises for the venture.

***MESSRS Alex. Scott & Co. will hold their next monthly market at Bittern on Monday next, 15th June, when a good yarding of stock will be brought forward.

***AN auction sale of freehold property, furniture, etc., will be, held at “Kananook“ Melbourne Road Frank- ston, by Messrs Brody and Mason on Wednesday 24th June, at 2 o’clock. Full particulars are advertised.

***RATEPAYERS are complaining bit-terly of the impassable state of the roads between Bittern and Merricks, due to the operations of the Main Roads Board. They consider it unwise to let such contracts in the depth of winter. Three miles of road is being constructed at a cost of £7750.

***MR Jones has disposed of almost all the blocks in the Saltaire Estate, Mornington, at satisfactory prices, and has now purchased from Mr J. D. Grover that piece of land known as the golf links, on the the Tanti Road, at £25 per acre, which will also be cut up into building allotments.

***

ON Wednesday afternoon last a dou-ble wedding took place at Morning-ton. The contracting parties were Mr A. Bidgood to Miss Ivy Wrigleworth, and Mr W. Coxhell to Miss E. Bid-good. The ceremony was performed by the Rev Mr Carson, of Mornington.

***AT the committee meeting of the Mornington Racing Club, held last Saturday night, it was decided, by a small majority, to recommend to the general meeting (which is to be held on the 20th inst), the purchasing of Mr Richardson’s paddock of 70 acres at £19 per acre.

***PATRONS of the Frankston Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. have now fi ve mod-ern motor cars at their command. During last week Messrs Campbell and Ritchie two of the directors of the Coy., visited Mornington with a view of opening a branch garage in our neighboring town, and we learn that cars are to be stationed at Mornington in the near future.

***LAST week Messrs Brody and Mason sold in one parcel, the whole of New-man’s subdivision near the Frankston State School to Major C. W. Camp- bell and Messrs H. Masterton, and J. B. Jolly in partnership. These allot-ments have frontages to Davey and Park Streets, and we understand the purchasers propose to build a residential cottage on each allotment be-fore the coming summer.

***IN our advertising columns a public meeting of the Frankston Progress League is called for Wednesday

evening. As this is the third meeting that has been called, it behoves resi-dents who desire Frankston to awake from its Rip Van Winkle state, to at-tend in force, so that a live body, that can and will look after the interests of the town, may be formed, and the league be put on a proper footing. There are dozens of ways in which such a body could work for the ad-vancement of the town, and we hope to see a record crowd at the hall on Wednesday evening.

***MR James Westley, as executor of Mr Charles Wright, has forwarded to the undermentioned charities as ben-efi ciaries under the will of deceased the following amounts:- Half-yearly instalments: Melbourne Hospital, £49 19s 9d; Alfred Hospital, £48 11s 7d; Homeopathic Hospital, £19; Poor of Mornington. £50; Poor Boxes at Melbourne City Court, South Mel-bourne Court, Collingwood Court, and Fitzroy Court, £5 each. Quarterly Instalments of £45 each: Melbourne Benevolent Asylum, Children’s Hos-pital, Austin Hospital, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and Blind Asylum.

***AT FRANKSTON: The holiday on Monday last, in honor of the King’s birthday, passed off quietly at Frankston where the only attraction was a football match between the Pra-han juniors and the locals. The visit-ing team proved far too strong for the Frankston combination, which was defeated rather easily.

***AT MORNINGTON: King’s birthday celebrations were entered into with

great enthusiasm at Mornington on Monday last, when a great number of private residences and business places were decorated with fl ags and bunt-ing and at various points along Main Street, streamers extended across the roadway to the opposite buildings, and the whole town presented a very attractive appearance.

The weather was delightful, and the infl ux of visitors from the surround-ing districts eclipsed that of previous years.

Shortly after 12 o’clock the children from the various schools assembled at the local state school, and headed by the Frankston brass band marched through the streets to the Park where a very interesting and enjoyable sports programme was carried out.

During the afternoon patriotic ad-dresses were delivered by the Revs. Sandiford, Butler, and Carson.

The principle feature of the day was the procession and fancy dress football match, arranged by the Mornington Football Club for which three prizes were given, Messrs M. Garlick and J. Gibson secured the prize for the most original character, which represented “The Mornington Fire Brigade”.

The turnout was very good, the hose & reel being drawn by a smart pony and was nicely decorated. The fi remen did good work in extinguishing the fl ame of a (dummy) man’s clothing which was on fi re and the “news boy” (Mr F Bergland) who was on crutches selling the “Herald Extraordinary” and giving a full account of the fi re, and the great loss of life, was awarded a prize for the best sustained character. The other prize was awarded to Mr

L. Harrison jnr., who was attired as “Johnny Walker,” and was just the thing, treating his friends to a tooth-ful. During the afternoon everyone on the ground partook of afternoon tea, and the days proceedings terminated with a picture show in the evening.

***TYABB: It is with deep regret that we received the news that our local Sta-tion Master is to be transferred, but at the same time we are glad to learn that the removal means promotion.

I take this opportunity, on behalf of the residents of the district, of wish-ing Mr and Mrs Truswell every pros-perity in the future, and trust that at their future residence they will be held in the high esteem which they deserve.

We understand that our new station master will be Mr Gloster, of Chel-sea, but at the present time it is not defi nitely decided when the change will take place.

***FOOTBALL: Mornington v Droma-na: The above teams met at Mornington on Saturday last. The weather was fi ne, and a fair number of lovers of the game assembled to witness the match. Though in most quarters a win for the home team was expected, it was not anticipated that they would gain such a runaway victory. The game needs little description, as from the fi rst bounce the visitors were out classed, and Mornington ran out win-ners by an overwhelming majority.

In search of the origins of peninsula footballHISTORY

By Lance HodginsPart TwoTHE famous 1858 match in Yarra Park between Melbourne Grammar and Scotch College is already en-trenched in the history of Australian football.

Among the enthusiastic boys cheer-ing for Scotch on those three days would have been the Barker broth-ers – John and Richard. At 12 and 13 years of age, they both wished that they were a couple of years older and so could have been chosen in the for-ty who were playing so valiantly for their school.

They admired their new headmas-ter, a tall athletic Scot called Alex-ander Morrison, who had sanctioned and encouraged that fi rst match. An-other boyhood hero was their young Scottish chemistry and natural history teacher, John McAdam, who umpired the game alongside Tom Wills. His distinctive long red hair and beard became legendary as he followed the play among the gum trees.

John and Richard Barker were the two oldest sons of John Barker who owned the Barrabong Station at Cape Schanck as well as extensive prop-erties at Boneo. John Barker sr, a wealthy lawyer, had been admitted to the bar in 1851 but chose, instead, to serve as the Clerk for the fi rst Victo-rian Parliaments, a position he held with distinction until his death 40 years later.

It was only natural that the sons of such an infl uential person would be sent to Scotch College, the oldest boarding school, to mingle with the sons of other professionals, business-men and administrators of the young colony.

At that time, Scotch was settling into its new property on Grey and Lansdowne Streets, Eastern Hill – where the Peter McCallum Cancer Centre is today – between St Patrick’s Cathedral and the Treasury Build-ings. The Treasury Gardens became the playground for the boys of the school.

Of greater importance, however, was the College’s proximity to Yar-ra Park. A fi ve minute walk and the teenage John and Richard were in the middle of the frantic activity that was unfolding there every weekend dur-ing the winters of their schooldays.

Above: Scotch College in East MelbourneLeft: The Barker homestead near Cape SchanckBelow left: John Barker who owned the Barrabong Station at Cape SchanckBelow: James and John Connell

After 1858, school matches contin-ued to fl ourish and the older Barker boys were in their element. Further-more, they could now watch the ex-citing club matches which were be-ing held in the park with increasing frequency, some in front of several thousand spectators.

In 1865, John jr completed his education and returned home to Barrabong to manage the penin-sula properties for his father, who was thoroughly occupied with par-liamentary matters. Richard came home two years later, leaving the much younger brother William to fi nish his studies at Scotch.

When John jr went back to Mel-

bourne to pursue his legal career, Richard took over as property man-ager and dwelt on the day when Wil-liam could come home and join him.

When that day fi nally arrived in the early 1870s, the two boys em-barked on an amazing adventure. They would stage a football match on the Mornington Peninsula. The challenge was to assemble two teams of likely lads.

The Shire of Flinders was created in 1874 and it contained about 200 males between the age of 15 and 30. Its towns were still reasonably small, but there were plenty of pioneer farmers taking up properties under the government-sponsored settle-

ment schemes of the day. Using their contacts and infl uence,

the Barker boys had no trouble fi nd-ing enough fi t young men from Bo-neo to Balnarring who were willing to give the new rules a go.

One such participant was James Connell, of Moorooduc, who re-membered taking part in the match but not the exact year it took place. Born in 1853, he was a young man at the time, and not yet embarked upon his extensive grazing activities in the Tuerong district.

The match was played at Balnar-ring, possibly on the site of the pre-sent Balnarring football and cricket ground which had been recognised and declared a reserve for sporting purposes by 1874.

The teams represented Flinders and Balnarring, each with a Barker serving as its captain and, no doubt, also acting as advisor and arbiter of the rules. Their infl uence was short-

lived, however, as the game was be-set with confusion and frustration from the start.

Whereas the Melbourne football clubs had spent 15 years writing and refi ning the rules of the new game, it was still a learning experience for those who lived beyond the reach of the railway and other means of com-munication.

The match was only ten minutes old before argument led to fi sticuffs, and the game rapidly descended into a brawl which, in Connell’s memory, was enjoyed for the remainder of the afternoon.

The dreams of the Barker brothers would have been shattered. The local football scene fell silent.

It would be a few more years, and from a different source, before a football match would again be played on the Mornington Peninsula.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughDEAR Sir / Madam / Other,Try and see it from my point of view. Out of nowhere, I receive a letter with the Channel 9 logo emblazoned on the envelope. My hands trembled. My heart fl uttered. I felt like Charlie Bucket about to rip the wrapping from a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar and hop-ing – nay, expecting – to fi nd a Gold-en Ticket inside. Finally, I thought. Someone out there has the courage, the guts and vision to recognise my dormant broadcasting talent and give me a shot on television. It’s not as improbable as it sounds. Given my standing offer to host Australia’s Fun-niest Home Videos on an as required/substitute teacher basis, it seemed that a combination of persistent campaign-ing and old fashioned cyber stalking were about to pay off handsomely. As I held the envelope between my fi ngers, I felt as though my ship had fi nally come in. As it turns out, I was right. My ship had, indeed, arrived. Only it just so happens that the ship in question was the Titanic.

I’d be perfectly happy as a guest re-porter for 60 Minutes or even a mentor on The Voice. I’m an ideal candidate for the third-time-lucky incarnation of Simon Townsend’s Wonder World; ide-ally as the new Simon, but I’d gladly settle for the role of Woodrow. Intro-ducing vintage episodes of Bubble Guppies would be a foot in the door. Even reports from the traffi c chop-per would be something. For the love of Richard Wilkin’s hair, I’d even be content running crowd control for the outdoor broadcast crew to reduce in-cidences of ‘boneheading’ at sporting

broadcasts. But alas, your correspond-ence offered me none of these things. Instead, it offered me the chance to advertise.

This, frankly, is a kick in the guts with an uncomfortable shoe. It means that I can be on TV only if I stump up some cash to pay for the privilege. This so happens to be the exact op-

posite of the relationship I was hoping to establish. I was dearly hoping that someone might be willing to pay me to be on television and not the other way around. Worse that inviting me to advertise, your letter invited me to at-tend a seminar about advertising. This, to be blunt about it, does not sound like much of a night out. Not that

you haven’t done your best to make it sound like an absolutely magical evening. Indeed, your letter describes the annual 9 TVConnect seminars as:

...one of the most important adver-tising events of the year.

However, this is not so much a tragic overstatement as, I feel, a complete contradiction in terms. It then goes on to claim:

If you have ever thought about TV advertising – this really is the chance you have been waiting for.

Truth be told, I’ve thought about a lot of things in my time – from Velcro Chimp pants to the use of dolphin skis as an alternative form of public trans-port. I’ve wondered what it would like to be a contestant on Sale of the Cen-tury during its vintage Tony Barber era and, upon blitzing the mad min-ute, producing a Fender Stratocaster and perform a note-perfect rendition of Plastic Bertrand’s Ca Plane Pour Moi. There’s almost nothing I haven’t thunk, including how we, as a spe-cies, are helpless when it comes to the seemingly exponential growth in the use of double negatives. It’s only fair that I confess and say, yes, in my qui-eter moments I’ve thought about tel-evision advertising. But just because various ideas have randomly fl itted their way across my mind doesn’t mean I want to attend a 45-minute seminar. So it is with great regret that I must decline your invitation.

I realise that I’m missing out. What your letter makes clear is that by not attending a lecture on the joys of ad-vertising, I am agreeing to a lesser kind of life; one without brand or name recognition and in which I fail

to reap the bounteous rewards that are implicit in over-exposure. By not turn-ing up I will never learn how, in your words, to ‘turbo charge’ my business through ‘the Power of Television’. So be it. Incidentally, I’m not sure that even effective advertising is enough to warrant upper case treatment for either ‘Power’ or, for that matter, ‘Tel-evision’. The ‘Power of Television’ is one thing. The power of grammar is, sadly, still largely neglected.

So thanks, but no thanks. I realise that in declining I’m doing myself out of a chance to win a Harvey Norman Gift Card worth a staggering $30,000. (The mind boggles at the size of the iPod you can buy with such a thing.) Worse still, it means that I’ll never get a chance to hijack the public imagina-tion by using an annoying, pointless catchphrase like “Hello, Hello” or “Spamburger, Spamburger, Spam-burger” as so many brave pioneers of low-cost advertising have done before me. It’s my loss.

So best wishes to your group over the coming week as you conduct your ‘TVConnect’ seminars. No doubt oth-ers treated the arrival of a letter from Channel 9 as the greatest day of their lives. Perhaps they do feel as though it contains a Golden Ticket and no just a dud night out. Please accept my apologies. And, incidentally, if you guys are still in need of someone to re-place Georgie Gardner on Today, you clearly know where to fi nd me.

Kind regards,Stuart McCullough

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntSEAFORD made it two wins on the trot in Peninsula League football on Sunday after storming home to beat Mt Eliza.

The Tigers appeared to kick themselves out of the contest is the third quarter when it dominated play but could only manage a return of 3.9 to 3.2.

Scores were locked together at the fi nal change before the home team booted 5.3 to 2.2 in the last quarter to win 13.19 (97) to 11.12 (78).

Nick Boswell has been in the footy wilderness for a little while after crossing from Rosebud back to his home at Seaford last season. However, his last two weeks have reminded everyone just how talented he is.

On Saturday, Boswell booted three goals and was arguably the best player on the ground.

Aaron Walton was also dominant for the Tigers with three goals and genuine stars Ben Crowe and Dean

Kemble were at their menacing best.The Redlegs simply had no answers

in the second half.The visitors led by seven points at

the major interval but ran out of steam in the second half.

Jordan Moncrief was a shining light in what was otherwise a pretty dim day for the Redlegs. He booted four goals and was one of his team’s best, while Rob D’Orazio and James Anwyl were also fi ne contributors.

Mt Eliza would be bitterly disappointed with the start to their season, given they fi nished in the fi nals last season and recruited extremely well in the off-season.

Langwarrin lost its third game on the trot on Saturday, this time to the all-conquering Mornington.

Langwarrin had a soft draw at the beginning of the season and its ladder position wasn’t a true refl ection of where the club was at, despite some new faces in the off-season.

In the Kangas’ defense, they have played the two grand fi nalists from last season (Bonbeach and Edithvale)

and the best side in the competition currently in Mornington.

They were in winnable positions against the Sharks and Eagles.

However, on Saturday, they were no match for the Dogs in the second half.

Mornington is fl ying at the moment and Langwarrin was just another scalp that it was able to outgun and outclass on Saturday.

Dale Nolan was too big and strong in attack with fi ve goals, Michael Williams dominated with three goals and Aidan Speedy continued his sensational season.

Matt Dimkos made it 11 goals in two games for the Kangas after booting fi ve, while Michael Parker and skipper Scott Sienkiewicz also worked tirelessly.

When the heat was turned up after the half time interval, Mornington booted nine goals to four to win 14.7 (91) to 9.12 (66).

It was the third quarter which costed the Kangaroos, booting just 1.2 to 5.3 in that term.

Frankston YCW completed the

expected and did what it had to do to beat Chelsea.

The Seagulls stuck with the Stonecats in the opening half and trailed by just seven points at the main change.

However, the class of the home team shone through in the second half with Craig Nankervis and Kevin Lylak dominating. The Stonecats also had the luxury of playing Dale Carroll in attack and he responded with four goals.

The Gulls rallied in the last quarter with Jayden Attard and Fia Tootoo at their best yet again.

The fi nal scoreline was 13.14 (92) to 6.11 (47).

Inaccuracy in front of goal cost Bonbeach an even bigger win than 121 points against Karingal.

The Sharks got off to a slow start (1.7 to 0.2), however, booted 10 goals in the second quarter to really set-up the 21.18 (144) to 3.5 (23) win.

Shaun Foster booted seven goals in the win while Shane McDonald kicked three in yet another scintillating

performance.Jackson Casey was arguably the

best player on the ground yet again for the Sharks while Gary Carpenter also found his best form, even getting forward and kicking a goal.

Grant Paxton and Grant Goodall were the best of the Bulls, along with Christian Matthews.

In the fi nal game, Edithvale-Aspendale got the four points against Pines as expected.

Although the Eagles didn’t do anything special, they still managed to record a 11.16 (82) to 8.10 (58) win.

Michael Kremmer booted four goals for the winners and Darcy Holden was back in the team and contributed three majors in a dominant performance.

Brad Tagg was at his best, as was Stevey Mannix, while Lachy Foley caused plenty of headaches once again for the opposition.

Guy and Beau Hendry were the Pythons’ best in what was a special day for the club, celebrating the past 50 years.

Tigers storm home over RedlegsTigers storm home over Redlegs

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt SORRENTO played its best football for the season to smash arch enemy Rye in Nepean League football.

In the only Nepean League game played on Saturday, the Sharks turned it on in front of a big crowd to win 17.11 (113) to 9.5 (59).

Sorrento had its best side in for the season and it showed. Its star players were all at their absolute best, including Guy Stringer and Troy Schwarze across half back, Leigh Treeby, Kayle Stringer-Morris and James Hallahan through the middle and Tyrren Head and Leigh Poholke up front.

Poholke booted fi ve goals and Stringer-Morris three while Zac Burns was also elusive with a couple of majors.

Rye was blown away from the fi rst bounce.On paper, the Demons had one of their

strongest sides in for the season.However, their gun Adam Kirkwood tore a

hamstring on Thursday night at training prior to the game. Andrew Dunn was also missing

(wedding) and Brady Egan was back at Frankston.

On a positive note, Chris Gleeson was back for his fi rst game at full forward, however, only fi nished with one goal.

Ryan Semmel returned from the Foxtel reality show The Rookie but he looked like a bloke who hadn’t played footy for some time.

Sam Smith was very good and will be better for the run and Ben Holmes tried to fi ll holes in only his second game back.

Aaron Findlay continued his run of good form for the Demons with four goals, while Matt McIndoe and Brad Rawlinson were comfortably their best players.

Rhett Sutton and Ryan Taylor were also strong four-quarter contributors for the Demons.

Whilst Rye held the Sharks in the second half, they were still beaten comfortably. The half time margin was 45 points and the fi nal margin was 54 points.

Sorrento will gain enormous confi dence from this win.

Red Hill faced its biggest test against Dromana on Sunday.

WESTERN PORT scoreboard

IN its 50th year Frankston District Junior Football League has already reached and passed many milestones.

More than 100,000 juniors have played in the competition that has produced champion VFL-AFL players Robert Har-vey, Dermott Brereton and Nathan Burke.

The innovative league with 3500 boys on its books last year launched a girls’ competition that attracted 300 players in its fi rst season. The numbers who have been through the ranks, the champion players produced and the new competi-tion for girls are immensely satisfying for former president Alan Wickes, who helped form the league in 1965 when he was captain-coach of Frankston Football Club.

But those are not Wickes’ chief source of pride. It may be – as he describes it himself – “a drop in the ocean” but for

Wickes the league’s Youth Leadership Program stands tall in FDJFL’s long list of achievements. The reach of this program in only its second year has surprised even Wickes, a long time advocate of commu-nity improvement through team sports.

Already it involves the sport’s elite level, the AFL, AFL club the Saints, VFL club Dolphins, state under 18 TAC Cup club the Stingrays and all FDJFL clubs. The FDJFL program sponsored by Bendigo Community Bank is based on developing the skills of natural young leaders who in turn become mentors for the next age group. “Research shows that young people respond well to leadership from those their age and a little older,” says Wickes.

It’s a system that has captured the atten-tion of the game’s administrators generally

in this region with the Saints, Dolphins and Stingrays all hosting YLP sessions so far this year. Sixteen and 17-year-old men-tors selected from almost 50 graduates so far are now working with the next crop of young leaders. “I think it is fantastic that in its 50th year, the league is developing a program like this,” says Wickes. “We know only a fraction of our players reach the pinnacle of the sport but we need qual-ity people to fi ll roles like coaching, team management and administration.

“These jobs carry signifi cant responsi-bilities, especially the duty of care when working with young people. We are already producing outstanding citizens and community leaders from the ranks of this league. The YLP will produce many, many more.”

Kicking goals: Chelsea Ford needs to raise to compete in national soccer championships at Coffs Harbour. Picture: Gary Sissons

CRUNCH time is coming for young sports star Chelsea Ford.The 13-year-old from Frankston North is in the Victorian

girls’ under-13 soccer team, has won fi ve out of six boxing bouts and swims in a squad.

While there is no doubting her capabilities in each of these sports, her mother Cathy Steele says Chelsea must soon decide which one to pursue. Before the deadline for that decision, Chelsea, who plays for the Peninsula Strikers, will represent Victoria in the under-13 girls’ national soccer championships at Coffs Harbour on the New South Wales north coast.

“She needs to make up her mind soon which sport to spe-cialise in,” Ms Steele said.

A year 8 student at Monterey Secondary College, Chelsea’s week nights consist of four soccer training sessions, one or two for boxing as well as her swimming.

Under the tutelage of Seaford-based boxing coach Sam Soliman, Chelsea has won fi ve of her six amateur bouts.

Ms Steele sees herself as being “blessed to be the mother of a very talented little girl”.

Chelsea is one of the Ford family’s four children brought to Frankston from Barooga, NSW, by Ms Steele and her husband, Daryl.

Mr Ford is a bouts boxer who undoubtedly infl uenced his oldest daughter’s interest in the sport.

The Ford’s 11 and seven-year-old sons play soccer and enter triathlons while their four-year-old daughter is already into soccer with The Pines club.

Ms Steele is a sports masseur and says their children have grown up surrounded by sports.

However, Chelsea’s prowess is proving costly, with the family having to raise $3200 by 5 July for her four-day trip for the soccer nationals at Coffs Harbour.

“Not only is she an important part of the team, but she’s in the running for the state under-13s captaincy,” Ms Steele said.

“Unfortunately, if it’s not paid by 5 July she can’t go.”Anyone who can help pay the cost of Chelsea Ford’s trip to

Coffs Harbour can call Ms Steele on 0429 939 599.Keith Platt

CX-5 leads the way in MayCX-5 leads the way in MayMAZDA CX-5 continues to lead the way in the competitive SUV market after posting another month of strong sales, ac-cording to VFACTS fi gures.

In May, CX-5 was yet again the country’s most popular SUV of any size and type, selling 1,715 units. Averaging almost 1,800 sales per month in 2014, the CX-5 is up 9.2 per cent Year-On-Year (YOY) and is approaching 10,000 sales.

Offi cially, CX-5 tops the medium SUV segment while Mazda3 heads the small segment and remains Australia’s most popular vehicle.

Mazda sold 7,751 cars, SUVs and utilities last month - its third best May result on record - up 10.7 per cent compared to April - accounting for an 8.2 per cent market share.

With 42,536 Year-To-Date (YTD) sales and a 9.6 per cent market share, Mazda remains one of Australia’s top three manufacturers and is still the country’s leading full-line importer.

Mazda3 continues to lead the way with 3,291 sales - its best May on record. Mazda3, with a new diesel variant soon to hit dealership showrooms, has 18,465 YTD sales.

With sales up 12.6 per cent YOY, the third generation Mazda3 sees the hatch option outselling the sedan 52 per cent to 48 per cent with the Maxx being the most popular grade among new car buyers, while SP25 variants make up almost 40 per cent of All-New Mazda3 sales since its February 1 launch.

Interest in the tough BT-50 remains high, with 1,078 utility sales in May. Having sold in record numbers in March, the BT-50 just fell short of posting best-ever numbers in April and May.

In support, Mazda2 found 874 new homes last month while Mazda6 had its best May since 2010 selling 544 cars and remains Australia’s favourite mid-sized import.

Mazda Australia managing director, Martin Benders said: “The CX-5 is an absolute success story for Mazda and the SUV segment. We’ve sold close to 1,700 units per month since launching in March 2012 and we are approaching almost 1,800 sales per month in 2014. With Mazda3 selling strongly and BT-50 interest continuing to rise, we are pleased with our performance as we approach the half-way mark of the year.”
