By David HarrisonA COUNCILLOR walkout forced the abandonment of the Special Purposes Committee meeting held on 19 May when two confi dential items came up for debate.

Veteran council watchers could not recall any previous councillor walkout at Mornington Peninsula Shire. It was a dramatic and pivotal moment in shire events.

The meeting had reached agenda item 3, “Confi dential Items”.

The minutes record that “Cr Fraser and Cr Rodgers left the meeting before consideration of this item and did not return”. Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodgers represent Nepean ward.

The meeting was then adjourned at 5.50pm. The minutes state that “Cr. Colomb left the meeting at 5:50pm dur-ing discussion of this item and did not return”. Bev Colomb is a Briars ward councillor.

The minutes continue: “Due to no quorum, the Special Purposes Commit-tee Meeting lapsed at 6:04pm.”

It is not known what subject the con-fi dential items covered. But it would not be surprising if one item involved the highly contentious Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre – possibly the only mat-ter divisive enough to spark a response as unprecedented and extraordinary as a councillor walkout.

Absent from the meeting were coun-

cillors Lynn Bowden, Graham Pittock and Frank Martin, who resigned from council the following day due to ill health.

The walkout meant only fi ve coun-cillors remained in the chamber – An-tonella Celi, David Gibb, Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and David Garnock – one short of a quorum.

Section 85 of the Local Government Act deals with lack of a quorum at council meetings. It gives the local gov-ernment minister or a council’s chief executive offi cer power to require all councillors to attend a “call of the coun-cil” meeting.

If a councillor does not appear within 30 minutes of the scheduled starting

time for such a meeting, or does not re-main at the meeting, the council CEO “must immediately advise the Minister in writing”, the act states.

The minister may then order that “the councillor is incapable of remaining a councillor”.

These provisions are broadly aimed at preventing continued disruption of council business by recalcitrant coun-cillors. It is beyond contemplation that councillors Fraser, Rodgers and Colomb would not attend a call of the council meeting, or would walk out of one.

It is highly improbable that shire CEO Michael Kennedy would resort to call-ing such a meeting after just one, albeit

dramatic, such occurrence. What is certain that the trio were so

offended by, and opposed to, the subject matter in the confi dential item that they acted to highlight it. While they cannot reveal confi dential information without breaching the law, matters such as this have a habit of becoming public.

While Cr Fraser, a highly experienced barrister, is in his fi rst term as a council-lor, he has rapidly made his mark as a careful and forensic operator. Council-lors Colomb and Rodgers are veterans with high reputations for probity and closely examining matters that come before council.

By Stephen TaylorTHE name “John Coleman” is synony-mous with the AFL’s annual award for the competition’s leading goalkicker.

The Essendon full-forward exploded onto the scene in 1949 with 12 goals on debut, and booted his 100th major in that season’s winning grand fi nal.

A high-fl ying excitement machine, he continued to thrill crowds until a career-ending knee injury in 1954, but returned to coach the Bombers to two premier-ships in the sixties.

Coleman is a household name in the VFL/AFL – and on the Mornington Peninsula where he played with Hast-ings and won the MPFL best and fairest award in 1947.

But beyond the smattering of spectacu-lar action photographs and the phenom-enal statistics, little is known about this legendary footballer, who died in 1973 aged just 44.

Now, here’s what’s described as the “untold” story of an Australian sporting icon whose memorabilia is prized behind only Don Bradman and Phar Lap.

In 68 chapters and seven appendices, Doug Ackerly’s meticulous biography reveals a fi ery personality who clashed heatedly with his captain while playing and with fi ve of his champions as coach.

And, Coleman’s “almost pathologi-cal” hatred of umpires saw him reported nine times –and an unprecedented four as coach.

“Myths are exploded,” says the pro-

motional hyperbole, as the author reveals the “true” story behind the infamous Caspar incident that “cost” Essendon the 1951 premiership, and why Coleman’s knee injury should never have hap-pened in the fi rst place – and how it was dreadfully mismanaged. There has also been debate on the probable cause of the hands-on publican’s premature death.

Coleman’s genius is examined by con-temporaries and in 40 statistical tables, and his successful coaching methods compared with his revered predeces-sor, Dick Reynolds, and successor, Jack Clarke. His story is illustrated by more than 100 images.

John Coleman was named full-forward in the AFL Team of the Century and is an inaugural Legend in its Hall of Fame.

His memory is now preserved in bronze outside the MCG – and, of course, in an action statue taking a characteristic high mark outside Hastings library.

But, he was much more than that, says the author. Shy, yet charismatic, the country boy grew to captivate the public like few others in a short life – his sport-ing exploits splashed across newspa-pers in the 1950s. Above all, he was a devoted family man.

This very human biography, with a foreword by daughter Jenny, reveals all. It will be launched at 10.30am on Wednesday, May 28 at the Victoria Ho-tel, 380 Victoria Street, Brunswick.

RSVP by May 23 to [email protected] or phone 0430 913 232.

MOOROODUC Primary School is yet to decide how it will spend $759,000 granted by the Coa-lition government in the recent state budget.

Principal Peter Quigley said the school would go through a community consultation process to determine how the windfall could be best spent.

He said the money was not enough to build much-needed permanent classrooms, but may be used tp pay for portables.

‘’We are always trying to improve the school and we put all our efforts into improved teach-ing and learning capabilities,’’ he said.

Mr Quigley, in his sixth year as principal, said it was “many years’’ since the school had received such a large grant.

‘’You’d have to go back to the 1950s. Cer-tainly in the past 10 or 20 years there have been no signifi cant grants.’’

The need for refurbishments at the 140-year-old school has long been discussed, with substandard infrastructure and maintenance problems canvassed many times with the Educa-tion Department many over the years.

AN online forum on Mornington Peninsula’s fu-ture waste services has attracted 1200 responses to the shire’s ‘Let’s Talk Waste’ review site.

The review is providing an opportunity for the community to have a say on the future of waste management and help guide the council in mak-ing sustainable decisions for the future.

Services up for debate include organics kerbside collection for food and garden waste, a weekly recycling service over summer, and pos-sibly extending the ‘no charge’ green waste drop off weekends, as well as looking at alternative future management of landfi ll waste.

And it’s not too late to add your say on how you dispose of rubbish. To contribute, visit your-say.mornpen.vic.gov.au before 30 May.

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott made a fl ying visit to the Mornington Peninsula two days after the federal budget was unveiled.

Mr Abbott was not on a mission to make the case to the voting public that his government’s controversial cost-cutting budget was for the long-term economic good of the nation, preferring to address Liberal Party supporters behind closed doors.

The PM attended an evening post-budget Liberal Party fundraising dinner at Mornington Racing Club on Friday 16 May.

The party faithful paid $95 each to attend a ‘Post-Budget Dinner’ “hosted by” Flinders MP Greg Hunt

and Dunkley MP Bruce Billson with Mr Abbott a guest speaker.

Non-Liberal Party members could pay $125 to attend the dinner, with all money raised on the night making its way into party coffers.

A two-course meal was served up as Mr Abbott dished out his thoughts on “staying the course” to try to get the nation’s fi nances back into surplus.

The function was held in the Mornington Racing Club’s Gunnamatta Room which can seat up to 550 guests for a banquet booking. The News understands the dinner was a sell-out, raking in tens of thousands of dollars for the Liberal Party.

Mr Billson said he appreciated the Prime Minister taking the time during “a very busy week” to visit the peninsula and speak to “those interested in hearing him talk about the budget”.

He said the event was “keenly priced” to allow as many people as possible to attend.

Post-budget dinners to raise funds for political parties are an annual tradition, with Labor Party opposition leader Bill Shorten also chowing down with party members in Canberra to raise money after he gave his budget reply speech on Thursday 15 May.

BALNARRING Primary School pupils reckon science rocks, although “epic” was more likely their chosen term for describing last week’s Education Week celebrations.

With this year’s Education Week theme being ‘Scientists do amazing things!’ year 3 and 4 pu-pils took to the school hall to conduct their own experiment on how much weight air can support by placing ten half-infl ated balloons under a table and then standing on top.

Education Minister Martin Dixon said the government was placing a heavy emphasis on science in Victoria’s school curriculum to

“inspire the next generation of young people to be curious, ask questions, apply critical thinking, examine evidence and draw conclusions – all skills which make for a great education”.

“By 2020-21, nearly 90,000 scientists will be employed in Victoria and nearly 255,000 people will be employed in jobs such a medicine, health care, agriculture and architecture for which sci-ence skills are essential,” Mr Dixon said.

"Education Week is the ideal time for parents and the wider community to learn about our great schools and early years services.

By Stephen TaylorTHE thrust of Plan Melbourne – re-leased last week by the state govern-ment – is to coordinate population and housing growth with employ-ment and transport planning on a state-wide basis.

And the strategy is “very positive’’ for the Mornington Peninsula, accord-ing to the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi.

Its local focus is on commitment to a permanent urban growth boundary, development of the Port of Hastings, support for protection of high-quality agricultural land and ensuring the en-vironmental qualities of Western Port and Port Phillip are protected.

“Our residents love the peninsula as it is, they support appropriate develop-ment and new opportunities, particu-larly for young people, but they want to ensure the special look, feel and function of the Peninsula – the things that make us different from suburban Melbourne – are well protected,” Cr Celi said.

Plan Melbourne’s premise is that Melbourne has grown rapidly over the past decade, and by 2051 it is estimat-ed a population of 7.7 million will re-quire around 1.6 million extra houses.

It will be an ageing cohort, too, meaning future housing supply will need to take into account the chang-ing needs of households for different types of accommodation over a life-time.

Even with a 30-year supply of urban-zoned land on Melbourne’s fringes, the plan says this is no longer sustainable to accommodate most of our growth by expanding outwards. “We will partly accommodate future

growth with medium and high-density development in defi ned areas in the ex-isting urban area in designated urban-renewal precincts,’’ the plan says.

Later, more housing will be built closer to jobs, transport and services through the zoning system and other mechanisms.

The plan says housing affordability

varies signifi cantly across Melbourne and growth in house prices has out-paced the growth in incomes. “Our plan is to encourage greater diversity in housing types and access to more af-fordable housing options.’’

Transport is the key as it underpins the liveability, effi ciency and produc-tivity of cities.

“The key transport challenges for Melbourne are to ensure suffi cient commuter capacity on public transport and road systems, and to ensure that Victoria maintains its competitive ad-vantage in freight and logistics.’’

The plan says a growing Melbourne will need to be able to provide an ex-tra 10.7 million daily public transport trips by 2050 on top of the 14.2 million trips today. This means adding critical links to the network, getting greater effi ciency out of existing infrastruc-ture and increasing reliance on public transport.

City-shaping transport projects such as the East West Link, the Melbourne Rail Link (including the Airport Rail Link), CityLink-Tulla widening - and the development of the Port of Hast-ings - are expected to transform the ef-fi ciency and capacity of the network.

The plan also includes major new programs of investment in road effi -ciency, expanded public transport ser-vices and improved cycling and walk-ing paths.

Cr Celi said that while the peninsula faces “its own unique challenges’’, the plan provides the opportunity to “shape future planning for the penin-sula in a way that responds to the is-sues and values that came out most strongly in the council’s Plan Penin-sula consultations with the community held last year”.

She said the shire had “worked closely with local communities in in-forming the government about our fu-ture aspirations’’.

“There is a fi rm commitment to the introduction of the Mornington Pen-insula Planning Statement that recog-

nises the distinct role and importance of the peninsula to the whole of Mel-bourne,’’ she said.

The council has already approved the draft Planning Statement, which Cr Celi said “expresses our community’s vision of the peninsula being ‘near to, but not part of, Melbourne and its accelerating growth’, as refl ected by community input during the council’s Plan Peninsula consultation program’’.

“The peninsula plays a range of complementary roles in tourism, rec-reation, agriculture and manufactur-ing, but our community is clear that we are not ‘suburbia’, and don’t want to be. The council’s input into Plan Mel-bourne refl ects what the community told us.’’

Plan Melbourne also emphasises the primary role of local government in planning for local areas, including neighbourhood centres and major ac-tivity centres on the Peninsula.

The ‘new’ Plan Melbourne points out that Melbourne’s projected popu-lation growth is 4.3 million to 7.7 mil-lion by 2051 - rather than the 6.5 mil-lion in the earlier version. This, in turn, has increased the projected demand for housing to more than 1.6 million new dwellings over the next 37 years.

It aims to see more of Melbourne’s future housing growth in, or near, ex-isting areas of high job concentrations and/or future employment potential. These National Employment Clusters include Dandenong, and metropolitan activity centres, including Frankston.

“Plan Melbourne is consistent with this position, and therefore this is a policy statement we can well support,” Cr Celi said.

CARAVAN PARKING FREE TO RESIDENTS

By David HarrisonCOUNCILLOR Hugh Fraser has questioned shire CEO Michael Kennedy’s decision to designate as confi dential an item included in a council meeting held on 19 May.

Cr Fraser, a barrister, claims there was “no rea-sonable basis” under the Local Government Act to make the item confi dential. He has also queried placing the item on the agenda of the 19 May meet-ing, claiming this placement “did not comply” with a 2012 council resolution.

Cr Fraser seeks to have the confi dential item dis-cussed publicly at the council meeting to be held on 10 June. He has lodged a notice of motion that was due to be discussed at the council meeting on Mon-day 26 May.

The matter is diffi cult to report because the con-tested item was, and remains, confi dential. But clearly it was controversial, sparking the fi rst walk-out from a shire council meeting that anyone can recall.

The meeting minutes record that councillors Fraser, Tim Rodgers and Bev Colomb “left the meeting … and did not return”, forcing abandon-ment of the meeting for lack of a quorum. The con-tentious item was thus not discussed at that meeting. The notice of motion’s “non-compliance” argument refers to a March 2012 council resolution regard-ing the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre. This was the meeting at which the SPA was fi rst formally located on the Rosebud foreshore. Later, land was bought at Wannaeue Place as an alternative site. Then last December councillors voted to return the SPA to the foreshore.

The 2012 meeting resolved “that Council holds all [SPA] meetings ... at the Rosebud Memorial Hall [or] the Rosebud Council Chamber ...”.

Cr Fraser argues that the 19 May Special Pur-poses Committee Meeting was held at Mornington, thus not complying with the resolution that the SPA

only be discussed at meetings held at Rosebud. Cr Fraser’s argument on the legal validity of designat-ing the item as confi dential is near-impossible to fathom because the matter was heard in camera. Clearly it involves the SPA. The “Confi dential in-formation” section of the Local Government Act, S.77, details the means by which information is des-ignated as confi dential.

But, in the absence of more specifi c information, this section does not help specify or illuminate Cr Fraser’s argument. Discussion of Cr Fraser’s mo-tion was almost certain to be held in camera.

Asking questions: Cr Hugh Fraser is querying why a council meeting item was kept confi dential.

Shire takes standShire takes standon family violenceon family violenceTHE scourge of family violence is being ad-dressed through an awareness campaign devel-oped by Mornington Peninsula Shire in partner-ship with fi lmmaker Sian Darling, Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders, and Peninsula Health.

A video shot and directed by Darling will be shown at cinemas, while posters featuring imag-es from the fi lm, which can be downloaded from the shire’s website, will be sent to community groups for display.

The campaign will also feature a roadside ban-ner on the Nepean Highway at Mt Martha to drive home the message that family violence is never acceptable.

Mayor Antonella Celi said the shire was com-mitted to raising awareness and working on re-ducing family violence.

“Family violence can happen to anyone at any time, and sadly, the statistics are too high.”

The shire is a member of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Net-work, which helps raise awareness and supports actions to reduce family violence.

The shire’s recently released Health and Well-being Plan shows how it will support and work with networks to address family violence, and strengthen welfare services providing emergency relief and material aid.

“As an active member of the local community,

a woman and a mother, I am asking that we all unite to say no to family violence,” Cr Celi said.

She said she hoped the short fi lm, posters and billboard would act as a starting point for impor-tant conversations. “We’re committed to pro-moting a violence-free community in which all people can feel safe, respected and equal.’’

To view the short fi lm or to download a poster, visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/family_violence or download Family_Violence_Posters.pdf.

COMMENTBy David HarrisonCR Frank Martin has quit his Red Hill ward at a most interesting moment in Mornington Peninsula Shire history. He has been a crucial vote at a time when important matters have been, and are being, decided.

Mr Martin, an affable and person-able man who had skill and experience to offer his ratepayers, has resigned be-cause of illness. It opens up possibili-ties, after the byelection the vacancy triggers, for substantial changes in the way the shire goes about its business.

First, continuance of the long domi-nance of the David Gibb-Anne Shaw councillor group of six is teetering. Mr Martin was a staunch member of the Six, standing fi rm with them on issues such as building the Southern Penin-sula Aquatic Centre on the Rosebud foreshore and supporting other major development and planning matters.

The byelection could well result in an opponent of the foreshore site join-ing council, shifting the vote from 6-5 for the Gibb-Shaw group to 6-5 against it, thus placing the SPA project in jeopardy.

Second, the Six – now reduced to the Five – are thought to favour reap-pointing shire CEO Michael Kennedy for another term without advertising his $350,000 a year job. He has been reappointed four times in his 15-odd years as shire chief executive and is thought to be seeking another contract.

Before the byelection brings a new face to the council table, the vote stands at fi ve-all in the chamber. Tied votes can be decided by mayor An-

Council poised for new eraCouncil poised for new era

tonella Celi using her casting vote. Is-sues requiring such votes could well include SPA issues and the future of Dr Kennedy.

The Kennedy matter poses diffi -culties. Council must decide some time in August – the Red Hill ward poll must be held before the end of August at the latest – whether to reap-point the CEO again or to advertise his position.

It would be proper to hold the bye-lection before councillors vote on the CEO’s position. Otherwise the dimin-ished chamber, lacking the replace-ment for Mr Martin, could be dead-locked, requiring Cr Celi to use her casting vote, effectively to reappoint Dr Kennedy. By tradition, casting votes are used to preserve the status

quo. And the expectation is that those who chair meetings strive to be disin-terested, and be seen to be so.

It would be highly contentious in my view for mayor Celi – who is un-wavering in her support for and admi-ration of Dr Kennedy – to ensure an-other term for the CEO via her casting vote. Far better to bring on the bye-lection quickly so a full complement of councillors can relieve the mayor of having to make that decision effec-tively alone.

While the SPA will not present Cr Celi with casting-vote diffi culties in the short term, the now-Five pro-fore-shore councillors face an immediate dilemma over a SPA issue – will they favour the public’s right to know via transparent process over clear parti-

san self-interest?At time of writing a councillor is

seeking on Monday 26 May to have a SPA matter brought to an ordinary council meeting. It is thought to have been a confi dential item at the special purposes committee meeting held a week earlier. (See ‘Walkout ends de-bate’, pg 1).

The SPA is a massive, divisive, hugely expensive project whose cost is heading towards $40 million. Al-ready one councillor, Graham Pittock, cannot vote on SPA matters, having been accused of having a confl ict of interest over it and in the hands of the glacier-paced Local Government In-spectorate.

In this writer’s view it would be extraordinary for the Five to vote to keep this item secret rather than agreeing to have it debated publicly. It is utterly vital that, wherever pos-sible, issues of this magnitude are discussed openly. How the Five vote will be most instructive.

Ratepayers are entitled to know where their councillors stand on such unprecedented spending. Councillors have a responsibility to their con-stituents to minimise decisions made behind closed doors – meetings from which no information can be made public, including how councillors voted, without risk of severe penalty. In such matters accountability is eve-rything.

The shire is right to preach “open-ness and transparency”. But it, and its councillors, must also practise it, to the greatest degree possible.

It’s what we call democracy.

Retirement: Cr Frank Martin’s abrupt departure could lead to a shake up in the balance of power at Mornington Peninsula Shire.

RED Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin announced his retirement after six years on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council last week.

A council media statement stated Cr Martin advised mayor Antonella Celi and CEO Dr Mi-chael Kennedy on Tuesday (20 May) of his decision to retire, effective immediately, due to recent poor health.

Cr Celi said Cr Martin had made a signifi cant contribution to both his ward and the broader Mornington Peninsula commu-nity during his time on council.

“Frank has been a wonderful contributor to Council and a dedicated representative of his ward,” Cr Celi said. “On behalf of my Council colleagues and the community, I thank him for his contribution and wish him a happy and healthy future.”

Cr Martin was elected to Red Hill Ward in 2008 and re-elect-ed in 2012. He served as mayor in 2011-12.

Shire offi cials had previously told The News Cr Martin would return to council this month. A by-election will be held to fi ll the vacancy in the Red Hill Ward.

The by-election must be held by August this year, according to local government guidelines.

By Stephen TaylorTHE new emergency department at the revamped Frankston Hospital will be three times the size of the old one with three new wards.

It was of special interest to Health Minister David Davis who last week inspected the four-storey hospital redevelopment due to be completed next year. The $80.9 million works are said to be ‘’on time and on budget’’.

Standing on top of the building Mr Davis said: “The Frankston Hospital Emergency Department is one of the busiest in the state with close to 60,000 attendees each year, and this expansion will help meet that demand.”

The department will have its own ambulance entry point – which is desperately needed as Frankston has the largest number of ambulance arrivals in the state.

Ambulance transfer times have improved with 86.3 per cent of transfers completed within the 40-minute target this year - up from 58.9 per cent in March last year. They are expected to improve with the new development.

The new emergency department will have dedicated paediatric, mental health, medical imaging with a CT scanner, and specialist treatment areas, including women’s health.

But, while the hospital redevelopment may be good news for the minister, state government concerns that the federal Budget will rip $200 million out of health and education from July 1 must be galling.

This includes the $7 co-payment to visit a GP – which may push more people into public hospital emergency rooms with the states footing the bill and higher co-payments for medicines.

“There are immediate and signifi cant impacts

on the Victorian budget on health, concessions and potentially education,” Dr Napthine told the ABC on Wednesday.

“We’re putting more money into health and more money into education. We don’t want that undermined by decisions in Canberra.”

Peninsula residents will certainly be affected by the cuts. But Peninsula Health says that, at this point, it is too early to tell what direct impacts the Budget will have locally.

“State and federal governments are currently in negotiations and we expect that we will receive a response from them in the coming weeks. Whatever the result Peninsula Health will continue to provide the best care possible for our patients whilst working within the means we have.’’

According to Plan Melbourne, Health is the largest single source of employment in Victoria, providing more than 330,000 jobs in 2010–11. The health and social services sector is one of the largest contributors to the state’s economy, and contributes $2.5 billion to export earnings.

Emma King, CEO of VCOSS, said changes to Medicare, including the introduction of a fee for people see their GP, will make it harder for people to get the healthcare they need when they need it – particularly in rural and regional areas where access to healthcare can already be limited.”

“The new co-payment of $7 for each visit to a GP or to use of out-of-hospital pathology or diagnostic imaging services will stop poorer people from going to the doctor,’’ she said.

“It was surprising to see that patients with concession cards and children aged under 16 will have to pay the fee for the fi rst 10 services in each year, up to a total of $70.”

She said the introduction of Pharmaceutical Benefi ts Scheme co-payments and safety net thresholds would make medicines more expensive. “For most patients the cost of medicine will rise by $5 to $42.70 and people with concession cards will see an increase of 80c to $6.90.”

Ms King said the effect of limiting access to health care – especially for people who are already disadvantaged – was a “step backward and will hurt many people across the community’’.

“These changes will have a big impact on struggling families who are already having to choose between taking their children to the doctor and putting food on the table. This means more Australians will wait until they are much sicker before they seek the medical care they need.”

However, Health Minister Peter Dutton said on the ABC’s 7.30 program that references to

Budget cuts in health funding were wrong. He said there would be a 9 per cent increase, year on year, in hospital funding reducing to 6.7 per cent from 2017.

He disputed claims that the government was “taking $8.6 billion from the health budget’’ and that incentive payments – to ease waiting lists for elective surgery in public hospitals and improve the fl ow of patients through emergency departments – were not “gone’’.

He said cuts would only occur “only if the states don’t achieve a certain level of activity, if they don’t have population growth in accord with the agreement brokered by (former) Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

“We’re saying: ‘If you see more patients, if you do more hips and more knees, we will pay for that activity’. So, there is incentive for the states to see more patients and the Commonwealth, as I say, will meet its funding obligations in terms of that activity.’’

By Tony DuboudinSOMERS residents and ratepayers have shown strong support for a village pathway.A survey in December of last year and last Janu-ary received 406 responses, or 35 per cent of those asked.

Ninety-two per cent supported the proposed pathway project – with 72 per cent expressing ‘strong support’ for it. Only 8 per cent were op-posed with 6 per cent ‘strongly opposed’.

The pathway would link the shared pathway system that now bypasses Somers to provide links to the primary school and the heart of the village. A shared pathway along Camp Hill Rd from Sandy Point Rd would give direct, safe access to Somers Primary School. A shared pathway would run along South Beach Rd from Sandy Point Rd to Wills Rd.

The proposal also calls for two footpath sec-tions from Wills Rd along South Beach Rd and Tasman Rd linking up with the footpath on the Boulevard, and also along Parklands Ave past the Education Department and Lord Somers camps linking up with the shared pathway on Lord Somers Rd.

These two footpath sections are along the bus route that runs through the village and have caused the most concern to residents. It is proposed that the South Beach Rd-Tasman Rd-

Parklands Ave sections be informal meandering footpaths for pedestrians.

The other part of the proposal calls for a low-impact bicycle network through the village that would encourage children and recreational cy-clists to use the back streets of Somers to access the school, the store and other amenities.

The survey also canvassed residents’ views on two proposed surfaces for the proposed footpath sections – exposed aggregate and granitic sand.

A majority – 59 per cent (232 respondents) – favoured exposed aggregate over granitic sand with “improved durability/lower maintenance” the major reason cited (66 per cent) and “better for disabled/bikes/prams etc” (30 per cent).

Of those preferring granitic sand (127 re-spondents), 79 per cent cited aesthetic qualities including “softer/attractive/ less suburban” as their reasons.

In a 2009 survey residents were asked about their concerns and to list priorities for maintaining the character and lifestyle of the village.

It found overwhelming support for a pathway along the bus route and also along Camp Hill Rd.

The results have been sent to Mornington Pen-insula Shire Council, Nepean MP Martin Dixon, whose electorate will take in Somers after the November state election as a result of redistribu-tion, and to Flinders MP Greg Hunt.

Making playtime even more funMaking playtime even more fun

By Stephen TaylorA Bittern woman’s day trip from Stony Point to Cowes was ruined when rough weather prevented the ferry from picking her up for the return journey.

Unaware that the boat wouldn’t be making the homeward crossing, she and a friend were left stranded - ‘’waiting on the pier in the freez-ing cold’’ - until the friend’s husband picked them up by car.

Marg Craig, of Peppermint Place Bittern, said she and her daughter and granddaughter enjoyed the crossing and ‘‘did a bit of shopping’’ in the town before returning to the pier for the scheduled 5.25pm ferry home.

But, when reality dawned that the boat wasn’t coming, they were forced to arrange a car trip home with her son-in-law from Baxter.

‘’Their excuse was that it was a bit rough. But why didn’t they arrange a bus for us or any other transport?’’ she asked. ‘’We paid our fares both ways.’’

However, long-time ferry operator Frank Denver – who was aware of the woman’s complaint - said strong winds on the afternoon had forced the ferry master to cancel the run – with passenger safety the only issue.

‘’It’s been our policy for 20 years that if the master determines that it is unsafe to dock then the trip is can-celled,’’ he said.

Mr Denver said it was never guar-anteed that the ferry would make the return crossing as Westernport was a volatile marine environment. ‘’We cannot guarantee the weather,’’ he

said. ‘’Our tickets go from point A to point B and every trip is a single trip. This is clearly marked on the ticket.’’

He said another unknown was whether passengers were going over for a day, a week or simply one way. ‘’How could we get in touch with them?’’ he asked. ‘’What they do when they fi nish their trip is none of our business.’’

Mr Denver said he had spoken to the ticket seller who reportedly told cus-tomers on the day that the weather was deteriorating and asked whether they would like to reconsider their trip.

‘’Ninety per cent of people ignore our warnings about weather and then bleat when the vessel isn’t there.’’

He said north-west winds on that morning were around 15 knots – ‘’no big drama’’ -but had risen to 35 knots at Rhyll in the afternoon. ‘’Under Workcover rules we are not allowed to run when the winds are more than 25 knots, and the ferry’s master has the call on whether it’s too dangerous or not.

‘’Basically, staff have minor sympathy for the woman, but if she had taken notice of the fare and the weather warning she would not have found herself in that predicament.’’

But Ms Craig was adamant the ferry operator ‘’knows they did the wrong thing’’.

‘’Naturally the bay gets rough but they should have made alternative arrangements.

‘’They are not running their business properly. They just can’t leave people stranded. Everyone was fl abbergasted. We were in shock.’’

THE heavenly voices of the Soweto Gospel Choir will delight audiences at the Frankston Arts Centre on Sunday 29 June.

They will sing in celebration of life and in hon-our of the late South African president Nelson Mandela.

In recognition of his passing, the choir will ded-icate their concerts to his memory with a section of freedom songs and his favourite hymns.

The Grammy Award winning choir was formed in 2002 and has on many occasions performed for, and celebrated with, their Patron, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Mandela and, on his passing, sang in services around the world celebrating his life. These included the televised memorial ser-vice held in Soweto attended by President Obama and world leaders, a memorial for the Mandela Foundation in New York with President Clin-

ton and Morgan Freeman, and most recently, at Westminster Abbey as part of the Queen’s service attended by President Zuma and Arch-bishop Tutu.

Other artists to have their work enhanced by the choir include Bono and U2, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Robert Plant, Celine Dion, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Peter Gabriel, Josh Grobin and Andre Rieu.

But it all started here in Frankston in 2003 with their fi rst ever-ticketed performance at the arts centre. From the streets of Soweto to the streets of Frankston felt like a long journey 11 years ago. And it was. But, since then, Soweto Gospel Choir has gone from being unknown to being heralded around the world as one of the great vocal ensembles.

To book phone 9784 1060 or thefac.com.au

All the voices: The Soweto Gospel Choir will perform live at Frankston Arts Centre next month.

New direction: Former Frankston mayor Kris Balom on duty as a PSO at Seaford. Picture: Gary Sissons

Chris [email protected]

FORMER mayor Kris Balom is back serving the Frankston community but this time he’s dropped the politics and is taking a far more hands-on ap-proach after signing on as a Protective Services Offi cer.

After being elected Frankston’s youngest ever councillor in 2008 and then the city’s youngest mayor in 2011 , Balom placed a fi rm focus on policing issues and public safety, particularly around the city’s much maligned public transport hub (see letters, opposite).

But the daily grind of politics became frustrat-ing so Balom decided to opt out of bureaucratic wrangling in favour of “serving and protecting” the community directly, while also studying for a university degree in international relations.

He graduated as a PSO in 2012 and has been on duty since then at stations including Dande-nong, Oakleigh and Moorabbin. With his recent posting to Frankston and Seaford stations, Ba-lom’s career has now come full circle. While he says he couldn’t be happier with his decision to change his career direction, his return home has reignited his interest in local issues and politics.

“I don’t miss the bureaucratic red-tape but I do occasionally miss making a difference and driv-ing reform,” he said. “There were other things I needed to do with my life, so I had little reticence in handing the reigns over to someone else. I think it was the right call at the time.”

He said he was proud of his performance on council and hasn’t ruled out getting back into politics somewhere (“far”) down the line.

“The fi re in the belly is still there but it hasn’t been purposefully stoked for some time now,” he said of a possible return to politics.

“I think the council made some brilliant

inroads, particularly on public safety and getting outstanding projects on the move.

“However, in retrospect, there were some other important issues we could’ve gone harder on and I tend to ruminate now and again on those.”

But the nature of politics, with its egos, hidden agendas and power games, was a major turn off he said. “I think most of us have that Machiavel-lian instinct within us, some more than others. I fi nd many politicians start out with fi ne intentions but over time those intentions gradually corrode in favor of maintaining or growing their power base. Power has enormous reach and scope.”

His experiences as a PSO and the feeling of making a real difference are certain to keep him in the job for a long time to come, Balom said.

“I’ve learnt an enormous amount about myself and my capabilities,” he said.

Got to have faith: Last year’s Interfaith Festival was a celebration of spirituality and religious beliefs.

Interfaith fest celebrates diversityInterfaith fest celebrates diversityPEACE and spiritual harmony are set to perme-ate the peninsula community next weekend as hundreds of visitors descend on Mornington for the annual Interfaith Festival.

The theme of this year’s event is “a celebration of diversity” as the festival expands its spiritual and religious focus to embrace the broader community’s many cultural traditions.

The Mornington Peninsula Interfaith Network, which hosts the increasingly popular event, said the festival was a celebration of spiritual and cultural diversity through music, dance, art, workshops and food.

Among the many free events at this year’s festival on Sunday 8 June at the Peninsula Community The-atre in Mornington are African drumming and danc-ing, choir singing, laughter yoga and a multicultural concert including Aboriginal whale singing, Chi-nese lion dancing, Ghanese dancing, Zimbabwean

singing, and a Venezuelan ensemble.Visitors can also watch artists display their oil,

pastel and water colour paintings and drawings, as well as demonstrations of traditional crafts such as embroidery and crochet.

A number of faith leaders will come together “in the spirit of peace” to offer blessings to the com-munity, while a host of multicultural and multifaith stands will offer insights into spiritual opportunities.

There’s will also be a smorgasboard of delicious food and numerous activities for children, including face painting, indigenous jewellery making, ani-mal clay sculpturing and boomerang painting and throwing.

The Interfaith Festival is also supported by the Victorian Multicultural Commission, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Order of Australia, University of the Third Age, and Creativity Australia.

WINNING the Best Picnic Racing Club in Vic-toria award for the third year in a row – and the fi fth in six years – proves Balnarring is doing something right.

Club president Peter Spyker accepted the acco-lade at the annual Picnic Racing Awards at Am-stel Golf Club, Cranbourne, on May 17.

He praised the ‘’hard work by the committee and generous support from members, sponsors, owners, trainers and jockeys who race at Balnar-ring and the public who attend our meetings’’- and singled out the Weymouth family for their in-volvement. He also acknowledged support from Country Racing Victoria.

Club secretary Neil Heathcote said the awards attracted ‘’pretty keen competition’’ from other country racing clubs who, along with Racing Vic-toria, voted in the winner.

Balnarring Picnic Racing Club celebrated its 150th anniversary last year and has staged races

on the same site at least once a year over that time.

It has improved with age, too: lean-to toilets with hessian walls and corrugated iron roofs have been replaced by modern conveniences; the 12-14 bookies are now all on bitumen with shade sails protecting their computerised betting systems.

The secretary for 14 years, Mr Heathcote said he could not remember a year when a picnic race meeting winner had not gone on to bigger things at city tracks Moonee Valley or Flemington.

The six country meetings Balnarring hosts each year include the famous Australia Day meeting which attracts 4000 punters – the biggest crowd to attend a country meeting in Australia. The oth-er meetings attract between 2500 and 4000 each.

With victories such as these, the club in Cool-art Rd Bittern is odds-on to greet the judges for many years to come.

A HASTINGS man who helped demolish a boat on the Warneet foreshore has been ordered to pay his share of $2750 in court and clean-up costs.

He and another man, of East Ringwood, were placed on 12 month good-behaviour bonds.

Department of Environment and Primary In-dustries offi cer Andrew Halloran told Frankston Magistrates Court the men’s unregistered boat, Dauntless, was left on the foreshore after being damaged at sea.

“The boat was then demolished resulting in an abandoned hull and debris littering the fore-shore,’’ he said.

“This included hundreds of pieces of metal,

nails, screws, wire, pieces of clear plastic and glass, charcoal and wood.”

Mr Halloran said that because of the environ-mental and public safety risks, the department had hired a contractor to remove the hull and clean up the site.

“The clean-up of abandoned boats and il-legally dumped rubbish is increasing and costing thousands to remove,’’ he said.

“The DEPI will take action against the illegal dumping of rubbish because it is detrimental to the environment and can be a public safety risk.’’

Those seeing anyone dumping rubbish or destroying public property can report to DEPI on 136 186.

By Chris BrennanA FRANKSTON South retiree has been left homeless and heartbroken after being swindled out of her life savings in a sophisticated online love scam.

Carole Ross, 64, lost more than $200,000, in-cluding all of her superannuation savings, after being duped by a “love interest” she met through an online dating website.

“This has destroyed me,” Ms Ross said. “I’m emotionally distraught and fi nancially ruined; I’ve lost my home, all my retirement savings, and my car is about to be repossessed. My life is ruined.”

She has been forced to move out of her Lang-warrin home and is currently leasing out a single room from a family in Frankston South.

While well aware of the dangers of online dat-ing and romance scams, Ms Ross never thought for a moment that her new found “soul mate” had been anything but real.

After all, they’d shared an intensely passion-ate relationship over almost ten months, melding their futures - and fi nances - together in prepara-tion of a promised “ever after”.

Wedding bells were in the offi ng, the culmina-tion of a whirlwind, fairtale romance that was set to fulfi ll the recently retired health care worker’s deepest longings.

Not only was “Alex” attractive and consider-ably younger than Ms Ross, he was also very well off. She would never have to worry about money again.

“If only I could have my time over again,” Ms Ross said. “It’s so obvious now that it was too good be true, but when you’re in the middle it, of all this passion and excitement, you don’t stop to think that it could be anything but real.”

The saga began last August when a friend sug-gested she try to get back into the dating game by signing up to a dating website.

She’d been separated for many years and was soon to retire from her long-term job with Penin-sula Health’s Mt Eliza Centre to a life of “rela-tive comfort”. A loving relationship was the one missing element in her life.

After putting up her online profi le, it wasn’t long before she received a response from pro-spective suiter, a “well educated, sophisticated gentleman” who claimed to live in London.

They had much in common and plenty to talk about, especially with her being from England originally.They even shared a mutual friend – the same person who’d suggested Ms Ross try the website.

Ms Ross never suspected her new beau might have mined details of her life from Facebook.

“We’d talk every day – twice a day - on the phone,” she said. “We’d talk about everything. He was very sophisticated, well-educated and well-spoken.

“We had a real connection and things quickly became more and more romantic.It was passion-ate and exciting. I told him things I’d never told another soul. I really thought he was the one.”

“He told me he had a young son but his wife had died in a car accident about fi ve years ago. He’d been devastated by her death and it had taken until now to be emotionally ready to try dating again.”

Their relationship grew steadily deeper and Alex soon committed to moving out to Australia to be with her. She had fi nally found “the one” just in time to ensure her golden years truly were everything she had dreamed of.

“He told me how he couldn’t believe he’d met someone like me, that he’d never met anyone like me before and that I was the person he was look-ing for. It was a whirlwind romance, very pas-sionate, and I never suspected it was anything but true love.”

“It was like a fairy tale and I was head over heels in love with this person, whoever he was.”

With more than enough money for them to both live comfortably ever after together, Alex convinced Ms Ross to leave her job so she could concentrate her time and energy on getting every-thing ready for his impending arrival in Australia.

That meant she was able to release her super-annuation savings, which she planned to live off until he joined her.

Not long afterwards, things started to go disas-

trously awry. The date of his planned departure kept being delayed as one problem after another struck.

Then there was a “big business deal” that need-ed to be completed before he could join her, a lu-crative transaction involving a shipment of cars for a fl eet buyer in Ukraine. He had to travel to the troubled country to seal the deal.

But as a sign of his commitment to Ms Ross, and to assist in him resettle in Australia, the pay-ment for the deal would be put into a bank ac-count set up in her name.

There was even an online banking site showing the amount of $990,000 assigned to Ms Carole Ross. Of course she couldn’t access it - yet.

Then everything fell apart. “Corrupt” Ukranian police offi cers were demanding bribes (could she help, please, as he was able to access his own money). She’d need to wire him $6000, then $10,000 then another $10,000.

Then she was informed by a “lawyer” that Alex was in jail after an altercation with another cor-

rupt offi cial. There were more legal payments and fi nes she’d have to pay to help him get out.

Then further expenses appeared, this time tied up with the business deal in the form of offi cial government taxes and fees on the bank transfer.

As it was now “her” money - how could she not but agree to pay up or risk losing it all.

It wasn’t long before Ms Ross had exhausted her fi nances - $200,000 in all. But Alex and his Ukranian friends still had one more surprise: a late penalty fee of $49,000 was now required to release the $990,000.

Of course it was her fault the fee was being applied as she hadn’t sent enough money fast enough. If she didn’t pay, they’d never see their big pay day.

In desperation, Ms Ross turned to a fi nancial adviser to try to raise the required funds. It didn’t take the business and banking expert long to smell a rat.

A bit of digging revealed the image of “Alex” was a well known profi le used in multiple inter-national scams, a stolen identity now being ped-dled by numerous scammers.

Luckily, Ms Ross didn’t raise the $49,000 to hand over to Alex.

Despite confronting him, Alex still insists eve-rything is legitimate. She is the one who screwed everything up by not handing over the rest of the money. And he’s the one who’s heart is broken.

And there’s still a chance everything will work out, if only she can come up with the rest of the money. If only.

“It’s horrible realising you have been de-ceived,” Ms Ross said. “I still fi nd myself won-dering ‘what if he is telling the truth’ but then I catch myself and realise how crazy that is.”

“I never thought anyone would be able to scam me like this, but this just shows, it can happen to anyone.”

And indeed, Ms Ross’ story is far from unique. In 2013 alone, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission received 2770 reports of dating and romance scams, with victims losing more than $25 million.

Of those, more than 400 people said they had lost in excess of $10,000, while 64 reported los-ing more than $100,000 each.

A staggering 43 per cent of people who came into contact with dating and romance scams lost money – the highest conversion rate of any swin-del reported to the ACCC.

“Scammers go to great lengths to gain your trust, spending months and even years building a relationship with you,” ACCC deputy chair Delia Rickard said.

“Once your defences are lowered, they spin an elaborate tale about how they need your fi nancial help with a crisis, such as being ill or stranded and ask for money.”

“Alarm bells should go off if they request money, especially via wire transfer. This pay-ment method is popular with scammers as it is almost impossible to trace and it is rare to recover money sent this way.

“Sadly, most of the people who fall victims to dating and romance scams sent wire transfers right into the hands of scammers who then dis-appeared or asked for more money, leaving the victim with an empty pocket and a broken heart.”

By Jason RichardsonOWNED by the Grieve family for almost 110 years, the historic ‘Braemar Lodge’ property has been sold to a Hastings businessman.

Set across two titles, with a total land size of 26.07 hectares – about 64 acres – the property is sited along Graydens Rd, and continues a strong recent trend of signifi cant property sales in that area.

Marketed by Wendy Tallon of Ben Tallon Real Estate, the property was sold by “expression of interest”, a sales method similar to a private treaty sale, but where the prospective purchaser must submit a formal written offer by a specifi c date, rather than a more traditional auction.

“We recommended the expression of interest (EOI) sales method as we wanted to see the property realise its full price potential” Ms Tal-lon said.

“We received an unconditional offer on the

property at the close of a six-week sales period, and the executors accepted that price.

The property was advertised at $2.2 million prior to the EOI campaign and the eventual selling price is known to be slightly below that fi gure.

The buyer is understood to be intending to run cattle on the property and maintain the original features of the home as much as possible.

The sale was a career record for Ms Tallon, who has only been in sales for about two years.

Following a serious skiing accident to her husband, Ben, Ms Tallon assumed a sales and managing director role in the company, after previously running the property management department.

“It has been a very steep learning curve for me, and I was immensely proud to put the sold sticker on the board and be a part of the history of Braemar Lodge” Ms Tallon said.

Once in a century property sale in HastingsOnce in a century property sale in HastingsNEWS DESK

By Peter McCulloughON Friday 4 April stock and station agents Everitt, Seeley and Bennetts held a clearing sale on account of the Estate of the late Roy Greive. Roy was the last of a notable Western Port pioneering family and the property on the corner of Watts and Graydens Roads had been in family ownership for 106 years.

The sale included tractors, classic

vehicles, farm machinery, antiques and household sundries.

A large crowd attended and over 300 tickets were given to potential buyers.

Excellent results were achieved for many items such as the 1958 Internation-al AS 130 tray truck (registration GUL 022) driven by Geoff Stockton in count-less Hastings Festival processions; it sold for $13,000. The pianola also reached a good price, selling for $4,100.

By Stephen TaylorIMAGES of musician Paul Kelly will help make the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery an even more inter-esting place to visit until 20 July.

An exhibition of portraits of the songster will take over the gallery walls and intrigue fans and art lovers alike.

Paul Kelly and the Portraits Nation-al Portrait Gallery Touring exhibition showcases his performance persona and the more elusive aspects of his character.

The exhibition presents a multifac-eted portrait of the artist over his ca-reer.

Known as ‘the people’s poet’, Kel-ly’s portraits are by artists and leading music photographers.

Kelly’s ‘bread and butter’ is per-forming publicly. His songs are con-sidered by many as ‘’hymns of the Australian psyche’’, the gallery says. However, many of the photographers and artists in the exhibition speak of his shyness and reticence.

Born in Adelaide in 1955 but Mel-bourne-based, Kelly tours nationally and internationally. His most recent album, Spring and Fall, was released in October 2012 along with the fea-ture-length documentary, ‘Paul Kelly: Stories of Me’ based on what he terms his ‘mongrel memoir’ How to make gravy.

The exhibition features two paint-ings, 17 photographs, one lithograph and a new screen-based portrait com-missioned by the National Portrait Gallery.

It also shows four short fi lms by Shark Island Productions which ex-

plore the relationship and connection between Kelly and three other nota-bles: cricketer Donald Bradman, mu-sician Archie Roach and Aboriginal rights activist Vincent Lingiari.

The Kelly exhibition will be accom-panied by National Works on Paper exhibition - a mix of various artworks made on or with paper.

Sixty-six artists from around Aus-

tralia have been shortlisted from more than 1,000 entries for the $45,000 Na-tional Works on Paper prize. It’s the most prestigious acquisitive prize and exhibition of its type in Aus-

tralia, and showcases recent works by artists in drawing, printmaking, digital prints and paper sculpture.

The gallery is in Civic Reserve, Dunns Road, Mornington.

Happy return: Mike Fletcher will tread the Frankston stage boards in a production of Oliver! next month.

Audiences have some more OliverAUDIENCE favourite Mike Fletcher is returning to the Frankston Arts Centre stage for Peninsula Light Operatic Society’s June season of Oliver!

Audiences will remember him in such favourites as Patsy, the noble king’s assistant, in the society’s season of Spamalot. Another favourite was his cameo performance as the jail guard for which he received a Victorian Musical Theatre Bruce Award.

Audiences also loved his performance as the MC in Cabaret.

Mike’s portrayal of Mushnik, in Little Shop of Horrors, had audiences once again under his spell.

Now he is rising to the challenge of bringing to the stage a character with many facets - and making the role his own. He is enjoying the interaction of his role with the 22 children making up Fagin’s gang of pickpockets. And he is thrilled to once again team up on stage with Cameron Sweatman who plays Sykes in the production.

PLOS Musical Productions season of Oliver! begins on Friday 20 June at the Frankston Arts Centre.

SKATERS of all ages and standards celebrated the open-ing of the new Balnarring facility with a skate and BMX competition on Saturday 24 May.

The Civic Court Reserve skate park was fi nished in April. It has a continuous bowl to 2.2 metres, hard stand concrete and many street skate elements, as well as a split-level bowl connected to a street section with a large carving bank.

The open plaza area has a range of low-level obstacles to suit all skaters and also to enable use as a community events space.

The skate park abuts the cutting of the former Red Hill railway, and its railway-sleeper fencing refl ects this herit-age. Interpretation panels with photographs of the former Balnarring railway station are planned as is a shared trail.

Mayor Antonella Celi said Saturday’s competition was a community celebration.

“The competition had skate and BMX divisions with classes from under 12s to open,” she said.

“We’re so pleased to be able to bring another opportu-nity for sport and recreation to the Western Port commu-nity and especially for our keen skaters, BMX riders and scooter riders in Balnarring and surrounding areas.”

Rhys Rogers continued his dominance in the 12s BMX, while Charlie Gruby scared off all the competition in the 16s.

The open BMX was one of the closest events of all on the day, but was won by Jai Bradley.

The skate heats saw the largest skate numbers in two seasons, with a massive 46 competitors joining in the festivities.

Geoff Cook come out retirement to claim fi rst place in the open with two killer runs, winding back the clock with a switch 180 nose-grind down the hubba to seal the win.

The future looks bright for young gun Zepp Hayes, who tore the Balnarring bowl to shreds to take out the under 12s event, while defending champ Isaak Godfrey impressed in the 16s.

Come together Beaches of Mornington hosted a Peninsula Band Host organised fundraiser for the Luke Batty Foundation on Sunday 18 May. Live music was provided by bands and donated vouchers, auction items and proceeds on the night saw $2920 raised for the foundation.

By Arthur O’BryanTHE Rotary Club of Hastings has donated $800 to assist the Somers Preschool Bush Kinder program.

Rotary members Jenny Cole and Faye Hester visited Coolart, the site of the outdoor kinder pro-gram, to meet with teachers and children.

“Rotary sees great value in the Bush Kinder program as it allows children to engage with nature and explore the bush environment,” said Jenny Cole.

Somers Preschool will use the funds to enhance the outdoor learning program with Aboriginal ‘culture and connection’ sessions.

Considered a benchmark of ear-ly education learning in Victoria,

Yarn Strong Sista are Indigenous educators who specialise in story-telling and learning activities con-nected to nature.

Rotary’s support will ensure that this will now become a central part of the Somers Bush Kinder program.

Somers Bush Kinder is held in the grounds of the historic Coolart property and focuses on learning and understanding about nature.

The ‘Bush Kinder’ program is based on the principle that all chil-dren can benefi t from learning op-portunities inherent in an outdoor setting. For children learning in an outdoor environment sees the de-velopment of new interests, confi -dence and trust.

CARAVAN SERVICING

Somerville Welcome to

By Ron Gunn of Utow CaravansWE all take the hot water that we get when we wash the dishes in our caravan for granted. So we should, we paid good money to have the electric or gas or gas/electric hot water heater fi tted to our caravan.

What we don’t realize is that the water quality around our country is not always that good and as such tends to either destroy the inside of the water holding tank or the sacrifi cial anode.

Anode. What is that? The majority of good quality hot water services have an anode which is of a softer material than the tank itself and when the minerals which are so often found in our water systems (especially bore water) starts to react with the tank, the anode is what is eaten away fi rst, thus saving the tank from corrosion.

If you have had anything to do with outboard motors or motorised water craft you will notice the sacrifi cial areas on the bottom of the motor that are replaced every so often as they wear out, same goes for the inside of the water tank.

The sacrifi cial anode on a suburban hot water system is just a nut down the lower edge

What is an anode and What is an anode and how long should it last?how long should it last?

of the system.A shifter or socket will

remove this and check your anode condition. Be careful if it is rusty because you could break the surrounding areas on the tank if it is too diffi cult to remove. Using WD40 or CRC will help loosen this nut.

When you are replacing the anode use white Tefl on tape to obtain a good seal.

How long should they last? That depends entirely on the type of water being used, usually from 3 months to 12 months.

Pictured are a new anode, and

two that we have taken out of hot water services, can you spot the difference?

We have anodes in our shop if you decide to replace yours.

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

Top Thai trainer at SMACTop Thai trainer at SMACSomerville Welcome to

MUAY Thai Kickboxing originated in Thailand hundreds of years ago. Over the many decades it has transformed into one of the toughest sports on earth. In 1980 it was introduced to Australia and quickly became one of our most popular combat sports.

Australians found that the training was very benefi cial for fi tness and confi dence. If you think boxing gives a great workout you need to give Muay Thai a try. Using punches, kicks, elbows and knees it is truly a full body workout.

The majority of our training is done on pads which a partner holds. This way we can really power up and we are never left standing still. Your partner interacts with you, moving you around and making you use defensive skills as well as attacking techniques.

Muay Thai has been taught in Somerville by Matt Ball since 1996, starting at the Somerville Rec Centre and later opening SMAC in 2004. Over the years we have trained hundreds of people and have had over 50 people compete in local club competition all the way up to Austral-ian title fi ghts.

Matt has trained in Thailand every year since 1994 and has been running tours annually since 2003. In 2012 Matt started to sponsor top level trainers from Thailand to teach at SMAC. Our current trainer Kru Oa “Lop Buri Sityodtong”

has taught in Thailand, Russia and Hong Kong, he has had over 170 fi ghts and will be compet-ing on 7 June at Kings of Kombat. Kru Oa is assisting in classes, training our fi ghters and is available for personal training sessions (begin-ners welcome).

At SMAC we have an amazing list of trainers, Stan Potts, Tommy Rixon, Hugh Roberts, Mick Phillips, Ross Sbisa, Jordan Maslen, Ben Hicks and Simone Mitchell who, in turn, are assisted by many black singlets. These trainers are all ready to help you reach your goals whether it’s weight loss, fi tness or competition and with the backup and direction from Kru Oa and Matt Ball you can’t go wrong.

We have General, Women’s only, Kids, Teen-age and Advanced Muay Thai classes. That’s 10 sessions a week to choose from and PT’s are only $30 for 30 minutes. For all our class times and other information go to www.trainmuaythai.com.au or call 5977 7055.

Our next big fi ght night “Brothers In Arms – Beginners to Winners” will be on 14 June at the Frankston Basketball Stadium, 90 Bardia Ave, Seaford.

Doors open at 7pm, fi ghts start 7.30pm. Tick-ets at the door or from SMAC Adult $40, child $25, table seat $60 – sponsor packages avail-able, call Matt Ball on 03 5977 7055.


Compiled by Cameron McCulloughMR J Nott Marsh left on Tuesday for Tasmania, where he has gone on a business trip.

***MESSRS A Patterson and A Ger-schwitz proceeded to Sydney on Mon-day, where they intend spending a few weeks’ holiday. The marriage of Mr H Lloyd and Miss Hanton is announced to take place on the 10th of next month.

***THE many friends of Mrs A Foster, of “Beachleigh” who recently underwent a serious operation will be glad to learn that she is now well on the road to a complete recovery.

***A PICTURE show was held in the Mechanics’ Institute, Mornington, on Wednesday night last, in aid of the funds of the Mornington Football Club, and was very well patronised.

***A FULL yarding of cattle of all de-scriptions is advertised for Messrs A. Scott and Co’s usual monthly sale at Tanti yards, which will be held on Monday next.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold an unreserved clearing sale of household furniture and sundries on Wednesday next, on account of Mr W. A. Mohr, who is leaving the district. The sale will be held on the premises, Hastings Road, Frankston.

***THE Rev R Jackson, who has been laid aside by illness for some weeks past, has so far recovered, we are pleased to note, as to be able to again

take up his duties, and the congrega-tion was pleased to see him again in the pulpit on Sunday evening last.

***WE regret to hear that Mr A E Gault, of Somerville, is still seriously ill, and his condition is causing his many friends considerable anxiety. He and Mrs Gault proceeded by train to Ad-elaide on Wednesday, where he will be under the care of his uncle, Dr Gault.

***THE Frankston Choral Society was well represented at their usual weekly practice on Monday night last, when there were 40 members present thus giving the conductor much encour-agement in his work. Mr Frederic Earp conducted for the fi rst time, and showed great tact and zeal in his effort to maintain the best quality of singing from the society.

***THE annual sale of gifts for the sup-port of students in New Guinea, in connection with the Frankston Meth-odist Church, was held on last Satur-day afternoon and evening. There was a fair attendance, which would have been considerably larger had not the weather been so threatening. However there was a fair amount of business done, the proceeds being not much short of that taken last year.

***MRS J and Miss L Thornell and Miss E Westaway, of Somerville, had an un-pleasant experience several days ago whilst driving in a gig to Mornington. They had proceeded about two miles on their way when the pony trod on a loose piece of metal, causing it to fall, and throwing the occupants on top of the animal, which, fortunately was very

quiet. Mrs Thornell was laid up for three days through the severe shaking and shock. Misses Thornell and West-away suffered slightly from shock. Messrs K Webb and E Meldrum went to their assistance, and the latter drove them home sprayed with mud.

***

A PLEASING function took place at the Methodist Sunday School on Tuesday evening last, when the lo-cal branch of the Christian Endeavor Society held a social evening for the purpose of bidding good bye to Mr E and Miss Hill, who are leaving the dis-trict to take up their residence in Mel-bourne. The Rev R Jackson, on behalf of members, in a few complimentary remarks, made Miss Hill a presenta-tion of a silver serviette ring and to Mr Hill of a pocket wallet, as souvenirs of their connection with the Society.

A short programme of songs and recitations was gone through, in which

Miss Croskell, Miss Gale, and Mr El-lis took part. the rest of the evening being devoted to parlor games. An excellent supper terminated a most en-joyable evening.

***FINE weather favored the Empire Day celebrated at Rosebud on Friday, 22nd May. In the morning the schol-ars, under their teacher (Mr Perrin) assisted by the members of the school committee and a number of parents and friends assembled in front of the school to perform the ceremony of saluting the fl ag, followed by three hearty cheers for “King, Queen, and Empire.”

The gathering then proceeded into the schoolroom, which was gaily dec-orated for the occasion. Here interest-ing addresses were delivered by Mrs Clifford Tute (late of India) and Mr Alexander, J P.

Mrs Tute spoke of the power of the British Empire, its vast extent and its varied peoples. She referred to her residence in India, Britain’s greatest dependency, where 300 million of the King’s subjects attest the genius of the British race for government, and dwelt on the pleasure it gave her – an Eng-lish woman – to have the opportunity of addressing the children of this hap-pier “Britain beyond the Seas,” where real want or poverty was unknown. Mrs Tute concluded by emphasing the need for the British nation through-out all the King’s s dominions being a united people if the greatness of the Empire is to last.

Mr Alexander reminded his audi-ence that they were on historic ground, for but a few miles distant was the site of the fi rst settlement, so soon aban-

doned by Captain Collins, whose lack of prophetic insight was proved by Victoria’s present prosperity. He im-pressed on the scholars that the future destiny of this great land of Australia lay largely in their hands, to make or to mar, accordingly as they grew up noble men or women, or the reverse.

A programme of Empire Day songs, recitations, and essays was then given by the scholars, each of whom re-ceived an Empire Day medal and a bag of lollies, while the best essays were rewarded with book prizes. After a hearty vote of thanks to the speakers the morning’s proceedings terminated with the singing of the National An-them.

In the afternoon, a programme of races etc. was gone through, and tea and refreshments were served to the large gathering by the ladies, to whom a hearty vote of thanks was accorded. The assemblage then sang the Nation-al Anthem, which brought to a close a successful and enjoyable function.

***MORNINGTON v. FRANKSTON; The above teams met at Mornington on Saturday, when the locals again had a full 18, while Frankston were very poorly represented. The play was fairly even after the fi rst half, but in that time the damage had been done, and Mornington ran out winners with a substantial majority. Owing to the lateness of starting, the latter part of the game was played practically in darkness. Punctuality in starting should be strictly enforced. and the de-faulting team or teams should be made to pay a heavy penalty.

THE third annual Western Port Craft Fest was held at the Hastings Uniting Church on Saturday 26 April.

There were 30 stalls (including men’s stalls) displaying a wide variety of crafts, and a series of experts gave talks every hour on crafts such as cake decorating, china painting, quilting and smocking.

A new feature this year was the Knitting Cir-cle – a cosily set up corner which attracted quite a few ladies who knit for charities. On the day these included Kogo (Knit one, give one) and also the knitted penguin jumpers for the Phillip Island Penguin Foundation.

The Crafty Men’s Tent proved a popular at-traction for males and the beautiful woodwork produced by the Western Port Men’s Shed and George Knight was much admired, as was the skill of Jim Enever with his gemstones and jewellery. A new men’s craft of modelling items (e.g. signals) for model train layouts created much interest.

School-age children were not forgotten. The small cottage near the church hall was set up for children with simple craft kits prepared for their clever fi ngers.

The attendance of approximately 450 ex-ceeded all expectations and parking was at a

premium. The number of cars spilled over from the adjoining parking area near the Primary School into the parkland to the north of the church buildings.

The ladies of Hastings Uniting Church worked hard producing freshly made sandwiches, delicious slices and scones as well as tea and brewed coffee for hungry visitors.

Net funds earned on the day expect to total about $2400 and will be used in the exterior restoration of the old Methodist Chapel which dates from 1923. An application has been made to Mornington Peninsula Shire to have this building placed on the Shire’s Heritage Overlay listing. In 2011 the Western Port Uniting Church parishioners received a Heritage Award from the Shire and the National Trust for the restoration of the interior of the chapel.

The organisers would particularly like to thank both Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Balnarring Community Bendigo Bank for their fi nancial support, and numerous local businesses for donations of goods. Harcourts Real Estate kindly arranged some publicity.

A special thanks to the hardworking members of Hastings Uniting Church who received many compliments – so it will all happen again next year on 18 April.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

By Stuart McCulloughSOMEWHERE along the line, things got seriously out of whack. Once upon a time, home cinemas were the exclu-sive preserve of those who had indoor bowling alleys and monkey butlers. Not anymore. The default setting for television sets is now ginormous.

It used to be the only time you saw a screen that big, it was surrounded by world leaders and they were watching a threatening message from some mu-tant super-villain demanding a mega ransom. Now people routinely sit and watch old episodes of Gardening Aus-tralia on screens that swallow their liv-ing room wall without so much as a second, third or even fourth thought. Things have changed.

Just as a really expensive watch is water resistant to three hundred me-tres, my father is change resistant to a far greater depth. Flat screens are not for him – he likes to rock it old school style. In the hands of others, his approach to technology would be considered a masterful postmod-ern statement steeped in irony rather than a refusal to accept that the world has moved on. That he is slow to em-brace the new is no bad thing. But there comes a point when confronting change becomes inevitable.

There’s an old saying: if it ain’t broke, don’t fi x it. My father, how-ever, takes a more extreme approach and refuses to admit that something is clapped out and busted, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. It’s a trait that I have inherited. A couple of years ago, I was driving through Healesville when an unholy noise that sounded like a cross between

two pieces of metal arguing with each other and the last Lady Gaga album screamed from beneath the bonnet. But despite such a symphony of dis-aster, I vehemently denied there was anything wrong right up until the mo-ment that smoke and fl ames and a cat-astrophic loss of power rendered my denial somewhat redundant.

In the corner of my father’s living room it sits. Once it would have been considered large. Now it would best be described as a Tyrannosaurus TV; an absolute dinosaur. It occupies a space in a wooden cabinet. Grey and shaped like a small hippopotamus, it’s kind of like a shrine. But age has wearied it, just as age does all of us at some point. If there’s a program you want

to watch, you must factor in some vi-tal ‘warming up’ time and turn the set on early. But no amount of time will save it entirely. Even if given a decent period to gather its thoughts, when a picture emerges, it is with a distinctly greenish hue. I’d go so far as to say everyone on screen looks as if he or she is part through transforming into either the Incredible Hulk or Kermit the Frog. Not that my father would ever admit as much.

We decided to take matters into our own hands. My father was away for the weekend and we decided to make a decisive move. But there were some challenges, not least of which was the fact that whatever we bought had to fi t into the existing cabinet. Replacing

his television was one thing; throwing out his cabinet and drilling holes into his plaster might transcend thought-fulness and be interpreted as a declara-tion of war. We headed into Frankston.

It’s been ages since I’ve bought a TV. A few things became clear very quickly – fi rstly, it’s no surprise that people mostly have gigantic televi-sions these days because that’s the only size in which you can buy them. It’s like wandering into one of those clothing shops that caters solely to the plus-sized person. The world has turned to the ‘Solway’ brand of think-ing in which the sizing starts at ‘really big’ and just gets bigger. Smaller TVs aren’t made for the living room. In-stead, they’re made for the bedroom,

the pantry, the thunderbox and what-ever other nook or cranny people think they can’t survive without a TV. But these were too small for the cabinet. The next size was, alas, too big. In Goldilocks terms, we needed the one in the middle that was ‘just right’.

It was the last of its kind – the fi nal remnant of a discontinued line, the likes of which would never be seen again. Not so small that it would be swallowed by the gaping cavity of the cabinet and not so big as to not fi t in. It was, in a word, perfect. But only upon our return to Tyabb did the enormity of the task we’d taken on become apparent. To install the new fl at back television, we fi rst had to remove the old one. I tried to move it forward in the cabinet without success. With all my might, I dragged it. As it sailed over the lip of the wood and the full burden of TV took hold of my shoulders, I realised that this thing might well weigh more than my fi rst car. In its place, we plugged in the new set and tuned it, making sure everything worked as it ought to. After hours of effort, our mission was complete. I’ve never felt so proud.

He rang, of course, to thank me. In the next breath he asked whether my brother had helped. I was insulted. As an adult, I am perfectly capable of in-stalling and tuning a television by my-self. Especially if my wife does all the diffi cult stuff. Suddenly fl atter than the screen in my father’s living room, my pride felt like a fat-backed idiot box, cast upon the nature strip of life. But that’s okay. Sometimes you need to consider the big picture. A task now that is now easier than ever.

HAVE you ever wondered if what you are feeding your child is affecting how they behave?

Many parents are starting to notice the difference that removing food additives, colourings and preservatives can make - but for some children, the problem is more extensive than that.

Some children react to naturally occurring food chemicals that can be found in many healthy foods. Reactions can occur up to 48 hours after exposure, making it diffi cult for parents to connect the behaviour to the foods eaten.

Children who react to food chemicals may display symptoms such as: hyperactivity poor bladder control (including bedwet-

ting) digestive problems eczema or other skin conditions headaches or migraines aggressive behaviour sleeping problems nauseaSalicylates, amines and glutamates are

three food chemicals that may cause issues for children.

Salicylates are the most common of the three to cause problems. They are found in many foods, including a large number of fruits and vegetables, herbs, spices, honey and yeast extracts. They can also be found in cosmetics, fl avourings and some medica-

tions (such as aspirin). Amines are in fermented foods, cheese,

chocolate, canned fi sh, bananas, avocados and tomatoes.

Glutamates occur naturally in foods such as tomatoes, yeast extracts, soy sauces and cheeses, and are also added to foods in the form of MSG.

Isolating the problem foods can be very diffi cult as children may react to more that one group of food chemicals, and many foods are high in multiple food chemicals.

If you suspect your child may have a food intolerance problem, it is always best to seek the advice of a qualifi ed health profes-sional before removing any foods, as they can advise you on how to ensure your child is still getting a healthy, balanced diet.

PENINSULA INTERLEAGUEBy Toe PuntPENINSULA league coach Stevey Ryan believes that unless the league’s governing body, PCN Sports Alliance, gets behind representative football, the competition will go backwards.

Ryan made the claim in the wake of the Peninsula League’s 85-point belting at the hands of Geelong Football League at Simmons Stadium on Saturday.

Whilst the 21 players who represented the league did their very best, they were no match for the Geelong FL, who dominated from start to fi nish to win 18.18.126 to 6.5.41.

Peninsula League was held scoreless in the fi nal quarter and booted just two goals in the second half.

Ryan, along with assistant coach Troy Shannon, led the team to a memorable win last season to earn the right to challenge for the title of number one country football league in the competition.

However, despite the importance of the occasion, players, clubs, coaches,

offi cials and most importantly, the governing body, failed to provide the necessary support for the Peninsula League to be at their best.

Eight players pulled out of the team in the week leading up to Saturday’s match. Another pulled out on the eve of the game, however, he is expected to line-up against Pines this weekend.

The same thing happened last year in terms of the lack of commitment and support from players and clubs, however, it was masked by a great performance from those who represented the Peninsula League team.

Ryan said it was time for everyone from the top to the bottom to take representative football seriously.

“The recruitment of quality players to our competition depends largely on the performance of our league on the big stage,” Ryan said.

“If we can’t get players, clubs and the league to support the country championships, then the competition will go backwards because we won’t recruit the very best talent.”

Ryan said Geelong Football League

epitomised what representing your league was all about.

“Their (Geelong FL) clubs made a commitment to representative football at league and club level, they have been training as a group since before the season started and they even trained with the Geelong VFL team in preparation,” Ryan said.

“The result of all that was a super impressive performance from the very best players in their competition.

“We were no-where near them, which is a shame when you consider it was one versus two in terms of leagues.

“They simply blew us away and were a class above.

“To our boys’ credit, they gave their all and even with our very best team, things would have been tough.

“We’ve just got to decide whether we as a competition want to commit to interleague football or not.

“If it wasn’t for Pines, Edithvale, Mornington and Frankston YCW Football Clubs supporting the concept this year, we wouldn’t have fi elded a side.

“Blokes like Ash Eames and Byron

and Anthony Barry have nothing to gain from playing interleague football but they put up their hand and give everything.

“Where’s the support from everyone else? Blokes are pulling out with one week hamstring injuries!

“I hear that certain clubs and players have an issue with myself or Troy Shannon, but this is about playing with the best in the competition and representing your league. Build a bridge and get over it, really.”

“It’s got to start from the top to be successful and planning needs to start now,” Ryan said.

Ryan also supported the concept of appointing coaches that can devote the time and effort to the task.

“You need a team of people who know and love the league and are not involved at club level.

“It’s tough to coach a club and to do this, especially when you’re ringing blokes to play up to the eve of the game, as well as not having the necessary support from the top

“We are left to our devices and we do the best we can with the time we have.

“I’ve made written recommendations to PCN Sports Alliance about it and do you think I have heard back? (This scribe was also asked to write recommendations to the league last season and never received a reply).

“I’m not sure why we are all expected to care about it so much when those at the top don’t support it the way they should.”

Mornington’s Warwick Miller was outstanding for the Peninsula League at half back, Edi-Aspendale’s Stevey Mannix was superb, the two Barry boys led from the front and Angus Scott, who spends his time between Casey and Edithvale, was also very good.

Lachy Wallace, who spends time between Collingwood in the VFL and YCW, was also prominent.

Ash Eames had some hamstring soreness but Steve Ryan was quick to take him from the ground and never put him back on.

“Eamesy wasn’t going to make a difference to the fi nal result so it was important to ensure he was right for his club this weekend,” Ryan said.

NEPEAN INTERLEAGUEBy Toe PuntDESPITE an under strength Nepean League team going into battle at Rosebud’s Olympic Park on Saturday, it proved far too strong for Central Murray FL on Saturday.

Nepean League dominated in the opening and last quarters to run out comfortable 16.12.108 to 9.15.69 winners.

Central Murray FL got with two goals on a couple of occasions late in the second quarter and got within fi ve points in the third, but they were no match for the locals when the game was there to be won.

It was no surprise that Nepean league won the match, even without a full strength line-up.

Nepean League had just 12 players at the fi rst training session.

The lack of support from players and some clubs again highlighted that the support of the interleague concept is far from great, which is a direct refl ection on the governing body, PCN Alliance, along with its member clubs.

Dromana and Rye were very well represented with fi ve and four players respectively each in the team, while Red Hill and Crib Point had three each. That’s three quarters of the team from four clubs.

The match as a spectacle never reached any great heights, other than the performance of Sorrento goal kicking machine Leigh Poholke, who fi nished the afternoon with seven goals.

Justin Berry was superb throughout the contest and highlighted his appetite for interleague football, while Crib Point’s Waide Symes and Red Hill’s Josh Mold provided a lot of run and grunt around the footy and run through the middle of the ground.

While skipper Rhett Sutton was

overshadowed in the ruck, his athleticism and domination around the ground was a highlight of the match.

Dromana’s new 6.11’ recruit, Blake McGrath, looked as though he was going to kick a big bag of goals after he booted two and handed Poholke he’s fi rst major in the fi rst 10 minutes of the game.

The score line was fi ve goals to one in the opening quarter.

Nepean league coach Ben Holmes wanted more voice on the fi eld in the second quarter from his charges and asked for McGrath to be left one-out in the square with fellow key forwards Poholke and Red Hill’s Jarryd Douglas to play higher up the ground.

However, Nepean League started to get cute with the footy in the second quarter, which allowed the fi red-up Central Murray to boot three unanswered goals and get themselves back in the content.

Former Collingwood-listed player Toby Thoolen was providing a handful for the Nepean defenders.

The margin at the long interval was 15 points.

The third quarter was much of the same as the second. Central Murray came out fi red-up, kicked the fi rst of the quarter and reduced the margin to seven points.

It was like Nepean League was waiting for a challenge. Poholke took the game by the scruff and along with Terry Wheeler, Symes and Berry, were able to regain their stronghold and turn a fi ve-point margin halfway through the term to four goals at the fi nal change.

Despite Central Murray kicking the fi rst goal of the fi nal quarter, Nepean League dominated from that point on and ran away with a 39-point victory.

The under 18s had a big win, booting 24.14.158 to 8.12.60.
