THE state government is consider-ing options to stop the ongoing destruction of Portsea’s iconic front beach after it received the fi ndings of a $300,000 wave monitoring and seabed modelling study commis-sioned mid-2014.

The study by Worley Parsons was recently handed to the government

and environment department bu-reaucrats. They must quickly decide how to save the 1000-sandbag pro-tection wall and stop the destructive swell now spreading both east and west.

The sandbag wall may only last another 18 months and it will be expensive to replace.

Storms in May removed thousands of tonnes of sand and foredune from the eastern end of the beach, expos-ing the roots of old trees as well as

rocks under the foredune, destabilis-ing temporary steps (which have been closed) and damaging more than 20 of the 1000 sandbags.

A huge section of foreshore at the eastern end collapsed onto the beach and was washed away. Damage is also being done to Fishermans Beach west of the pier.

Storms exposed rocks not seen in living memory as well as the remains of an old jetty.

The News understands that options

being considered include: Changing the seabed to stop

ocean-like waves refracting off a large sandbar. Building an underwater barrier

to reduce wave energy. Installing groynes on the beach.A temporary fi x may be the plac-

ing of sloping rocks in front of the sandbags.

The Worley Parsons study is the third into the problem and was com-missioned following pressure from

residents, aquatic businesses and Nepean Ratepayers Association.

It measured currents, waves and tides, and has modelled the wave “climate”, including seasonal wave patterns.

It has confi rmed a 2013 report by environmental consultancy Wa-ter Technology, which found that changes to the seabed had increased the size and velocity of waves refl ected onto the beach.

A CHANGE in the way the National Trust manages its four historic prop-erties in the region has triggered the resignation of McCrae Homestead’s part-time manager and nine of its 10 volunteers.

The homestead in Beverley Rd, McCrae, is Victoria’s oldest origi-nal timber house, built in 1844 on Arthur’s Seat Run, the largest lease in the fl edgling Port Phillip colony.

It is one of few original pioneer property on the peninsula open to the public. Its historical value is enhanced by the diaries, journals, music books and paintings left by the homestead’s designer and original resident, Geor-giana McCrae.

Manager Sharon Bowen resigned in late August after 21 years at the property and her departure saw nine of 10 volunteers quit.

Volunteers guide visitors, and clean and maintain the house, visitor centre and gardens.

Judy Walsh, chair of the peninsula branch of the trust, told The News the

organisation had appointed a regional manager, Cara Simpson, earlier in the year to look after its four properties – McCrae Homestead, Endeavour Fern Gully at Red Hill, The Briars Park at Mt Martha (jointly managed with Mornington Peninsula Shire), and Mulberry Hill in Baxter.

“The trust is doing things differ-ently nowadays with more attention paid to things like occupational health and safety,” Ms Walsh said. “We have to bring our systems into the 21st century.”

Ms Walsh said Cara Simpson was a museum-trained curator with a background in heritage property management.

“After 21 years, including seven as manager, Sharon Bowen has decided to move on to other things. I believe she is considering starting her own business. There is no doubt that Sha-ron has made a magnifi cent contribu-tion to heritage by her commitment for which she was recently awarded the Mornington Peninsula Individual Heritage Award.

“The homestead guides have made a collective decision not to adopt a different style of management, as is their prerogative, but unfortunately the consequences of that action makes it immediately diffi cult to keep the homestead operating fully.

“It is regrettable as the guides take with them their very valuable service and knowledge. Naturally in such cir-cumstances there is a small hiatus in opening times in the interim until new

recruitment measures are implement-ed. Meanwhile the homestead has just recorded a very strong attendance of group bookings in September so I can justifi ably say the homestead is neither closed nor mouldering.”

Ms Walsh said a new manager would not be appointed at McCrae.

Former McCrae Homestead vol-unteer John Snellgrove criticised the trust’s management style. “The trust is unable at all management levels to work with and support its volun-teers,” he said.

“Volunteers have become very frus-trated at the unwillingness of the trust to listen and take notice of reports from simple maintenance matters to major repairs and advertising.”

He said the homestead was now only open on Saturdays and Sundays afternoons although it was one of few National Trust properties to show a profi t. It had previously been open on weekday afternoons as well as weekends.

“Attendances have dropped because the trust doesn’t advertise the home-stead,” he said.

Mr Snellgrove and his wife Joan were volunteers at McCrae Home-stead for many years but walked away earlier this year.

He said one of his last tasks in March as a volunteer was to paint the outside of the house and its separate kitchen, which took 10 days.

CONCERNS over a proposed private helipad near the back beach at Sor-rento have generated a huge online backlash.

By Wednesday 165 objections had been posted against proposals for a helipad in Ivanhoe St, citing loss of character, safety and amenity, as well as fi re and chemical spillage risks.

Objectors claim the helipad would breach Mornington Peninsula Plan-ning Scheme Clause 52.15-2 which relates to the helicopter’s landing dis-tance from neighbouring properties.

Mornington Peninsula Shire manag-er statutory planning Niall Sheehy on Wednesday said no permit application for a helipad had been received.

The owner of the block at 31 Ivan-hoe St, Simon Pitard, said he had not yet decided whether he would apply for a permit.

“At the moment I am going through the workings with neighbours to discuss what we are doing and come to a resolution,” he said.

“Some people are making a moun-tain out of a molehill.”

Mr Pitard said he intended building a holiday home for his family’s use and not use a helipad to attract buyers

to any future subdivision of the hec-tare block. He says he intends fl ying in four times a month, most likely weekends.

He disputed claims his landings would breach the shire’s planning scheme, saying helicopters the size and weight of his Raven 44 – below 1.6 tonnes – were allowed within the 43 metre-distance to his nearest neighbour.

In discussions with nearby residents he used technical specifi cations to explain that noise from the helicopter was below that of a lawnmower and far less than a chainsaw.

“It’s the only block of its kind and

I want to build a private residence there,” he said. “There’s no other block like it in Sorrento that has the ability to have a helipad.

“My helicopter would fl y in over a national park and not over anyone’s property and with a clear approach.”

He said in the event of not receiving a helipad permit and possibly selling the block, he would “subdivide and clear the land and sell off six lots”.

Petitioners led by Josh Marks, who has had a family home nearby for 40 years, claim a helipad would adversely impact on neighbours’ enjoyment of their land and reduce the value of their land.

“It will detract from the overall har-mony of the community and is utterly inappropriate,” they say.

Jill Fearon, OAM, of Jarman Crt, said fi re safety was her biggest concern. “If it crashed and caught fi re it could ignite the peninsula,” she said. “And that’s apart from injuring people.”

The resident of 21 years – whose property backs onto the Pitard block – said approval of a helipad would set a precedent for more. “That and the safety risk are my worst fears, because he would have to keep avia-tion fuel here.”

Prepare for next storm: SESSORRENTO SES volunteers have spent much of winter twiddling their thumbs – and that’s been good news for all southern peninsula residents.

David Lammers said winter had been one of the quietest times for many years with the num-ber of requests for assistance at an all-time low.

“However, our records show a prolonged quiet period is often followed by a severe storm, so this is not a time for complacency,” he said.

“The community needs to be vigilant and prepared for the next storm, which could happen at any time.

“Gutters need to be kept clean and downpipes and drains freed from any obstruction.

“Trees should be checked for existing damage and any unsafe branches removed so they don’t fall or blow around in high winds.”

Many residents heard the “Storm Safe Week” message recently at Aldi supermarket in Rose-bud and the Dromana Hub shopping centre, and the SES will be at Bunnings on Boneo Rd near Rosebud between 9am-2pm on Saturday 10 October.

“We’ll be there to provide advice and answer any questions,” Mr Lammers said.

“Our road crash rescue truck and storm sup-port vehicles will be open for inspection. At 11am the road crash rescue crew will show how we extract injured passengers trapped in a car.”

There will be several activities for children from Bunnings and DIY workshops for adults.

Mingling for businessPENINSULA Business Networking’s next “Meet, mix and mingle night” is 6-7.30pm Tuesday 13 October at 1001 Nights, 86 Mt Eliza Way, Mt Eliza. Topic: Following up the fi rst meeting. Cost $7, drinks at bar prices. RSVP to Janine Harrison, 0487 000 666 or email janine@ufi rstrealestate.com.au www.peninsulabusiness-network.org.au

In brief

PENINSULA Op shops will combine with performing artists to bring local stories centre stage later this month.

The Southern Peninsula Arts Centre in Rosebud will come alive with pop-up Op shops, theatre, workshops and conversations, 30 October-1 November.

Cosy spaces will be created to share cake and hear stories by Evelyn Krape before participants immerse themselves in the craft of autobiographical poetry with An-

drea Louise Thomas and sing from the heart with Colleen Rees.

“Op shops are such an integral part of our community,” theatre manager Anthea Mackenzie said.

“We loved the idea of working with them creatively. We can’t wait to see how they transform the theatre space at SPAC.”

There will also be an opportunity to join in star weaving. The delicate paper stars will be collected as part of a national and international project: One Million Stars to End Violence.

The weekend will culminate in a reading by actors Carole Patullo

and Jane Bayly. Using the real words from stories shared over the weekend, they will create verba-tim theatre style piece A Woman’s Place.

“Everyone has a story to share,” Carole said. “Funny, poignant, life-changing and real-life stories are inside us all.

“Iraqi American author Zainab Salbu says, ‘The single thing all women need in the world is inspira-tion, and inspiration comes from storytelling’. “What is ordinary and familiar to you may be extraordinary and exciting to others. Your tale, big or small, may just make a difference

to someone’s day, week or life. We are inviting women to share their stories, via email, post, or in person on the day. You can even share your story on our Facebook page.”

The weekend will be launched 7.30pm, Friday 30 October, with the play Button. The show toured SPAC in 2012. It explores the delicate negotiation of social conventions and human needs, celebrating our connection with life around us, organisers say.

Bush food workshops THOSE interested in learning about bush foods, what they are and how they can be incorporated into a farming enterprise should attend a series of workshops next month.

One will be held in Mt Martha on Sunday 18 October.

The Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority, with the support of the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program, will host the workshops across the Port Phillip and Western Port region from Thursday 15 October.

Regional landcare facilitator Karen Thomas said the workshops would provide information on iden-tifying, growing and harvesting bush foods, as well as creating marketing opportunities for landholders.

Registration is $10 with all funds going directly to the Landcare network. Details: Ms Thomas, 0427 480 170 or email [email protected]

POLICE remembered fallen colleagues in a National Police Remembrance Day ceremony at Rosebud RSL, Tuesday.

Coinciding with Blue Ribbon Day in Vic-toria, National Police Remembrance Day is a time for police and the community to honour the men and women who have died serving their community.

Remembrance Day was instigated in April 1989 during the Conference of Commission-ers of Police of Australasia and the South West

Pacifi c Region. It was agreed the service would be held on 29 September – the feast day of Saint Michael (the Archangel) Patron Saint of Police.

Since 1853 when Victoria Police was estab-lished, 159 offi cers have been killed in the line of duty.

Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said the memory of police offi cers killed while at work would live on forever. “We will never forget them,” he said.

“Despite the risks and challenges associated with the role, the commitment to serve the community outweighs the negatives.

“We are well aware of the dangers our members face. Yet every day, more than 13,000 police and 1100 Protective Services Offi cers put on their uniforms and come to work to protect those around them.”

Blue Ribbon Day raises money for improved emergency facilities in public hospitals.

Continued from Page 1The government commissioned a

second study, by the CSIRO, which found that dredging in 2008-09 may have contributed to larger and more powerful swells.

“Evidence from wave-modelling studies also indicates that it is conceivable that the channel-deep-ening project may have increased the height of waves impacting the beach at Portsea, and therefore some degree of attribution to the channel-deepening project is pos-

sible,’’ the CSIRO report stated.Colin Watson of Nepean ratepay-

ers, a key driver of the reports, said a large sandbar off Portsea had not been dredged but had changed shape.

“We have consistently said we want our beach back, whatever the cause may be,” he said.

Mr Watson took up the challenge of lobbying the government for a solution when he returned to live in Portsea permanently in early 2012 after leaving as an 18-year-old.

“My father was a professional

fi sherman and later drove passen-ger ferries for 35 years,” he said. “Dad reckons he did about 65,000 trips between Portsea, Sorrento and Queenscliff but never saw waves like this hitting the beach.”

Mr Watson said there were refracted waves hitting the beach before dredg-ing but now they were “sometimes enormous on an incoming tide”.

The Worley Parsons report is expected to be released at the end of October.

Pounded: The $3 million sandbag wall built to protect Portsea’s eroding front beach in 2010 continues to be damaged by waves that fi rst appeared in 2009. The state government has a new report into the phenomenon and faces a number of expensive op-tions. Picture: Yanni

HOLIDAY home owners in the Flinders area are being advised to check for lost property after up to six homes and six cars were broken into Wednesday night. One of the cars was stolen but later recovered.

Rosebud detectives arrested and charged a Hastings man, 34, with burglary and theft on

Friday. He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 9 December. Another man is believed to be involved but he had not been apprehended when The News went to press.

Detectives said absentee owners may not even be aware their homes had been raided. Items known to have been

stolen include a mountain bike, wallet with credit cards, sunglasses and coins, but a full list is hard to compile until the exact number of break-ins is known.

Anyone with information is asked to call Rosebud CIU on 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

THE shire’s former CEO Michael Kennedy has been appointed interim CEO of the Port of Hastings Development Authority following the resig-nation of Mike Lean last week.

Mr Lean has taken a job in the transport industry in Gee-long near where he lives.

He was appointed head of the revamped port authority in Feb-ruary 2013 when the Baillieu Coalition government decided to begin long-term planning for an expanded container port at Hastings, which was due to open as early as 2025.

In April 2013, the former ports minister (and new premier) Denis Napthine an-nounced $110 million over four years for logistics, scientifi c, economic benefi t and other studies. (Former premier Ted Baillieu had resigned on 6 March.)

The port authority lost fund-ing late last year when the ALP won offi ce and downgraded the expansion plans.

In a statement, author-ity chairman Yehudi Blacher said Mr Lean had “brought outstanding leadership to the role and a genuine desire to advance the future of the Port of Hastings for Victoria. A strong feature of his tenure has been his genuine commitment to transparent engagement with the community in relation to the future of the port”.

Ports minister Luke Donnel-lan said he “appreciated [Mr

Lean’s] work in repositioning the focus on the Port of Hast-ings”.

Mr Blacher also announced the appointment of Michael Kennedy.

“Dr Kennedy was until re-cently the CEO of the Shire of Mornington Peninsula. Dr Ken-nedy brings a wealth of public and private sector knowledge to the authority with particular expertise in local government management and the transport and shipping industries,” Mr Blacher said.

Mr Donnellan welcomed the appointment. “I look forward to working with Michael during his period as interim CEO.”

Dr Kennedy was shire CEO from 1999 till November 2014, almost 16 years. In August 2014, the shire’s 11 councillors told him they would be adver-tising his job for the fi rst time since his appointment in 1999. He decided to apply but did not make the short list and quit.

New role: Michael Kennedy.

THE Victorian Squash Country Individual Championships will be held on October 10 and 11 at the Tonic Squash & Gym Centre and Labor candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy will be defending her title.

Ms Murphy won the women’s title last year and hopes to put in a good effort at this year’s event.

“I have been playing squash since I was 12, and play in the Mornington Peninsula pennant league for the Dromana club, having played state grade for Victoria in the past,” said Ms Murphy, who works as a barrister.

“Last year was the fi rst time I have won that title, but had won the over 35 Australian Masters Championship, and the US Masters for 35 years and over in 2012.”

While her preparation for the event has been minimal, Ms Murphy is going full steam ahead in the last week to get ready.

“I have been coming off a really long layoff with injury but am back now and working to prepare for the event this week,” she said. “By hook or by crook I am going to get myself there to compete.”

The squash championship is being held at Tonic Squash and Gym, 50 Collins Road, Dromana. Call 5987 1766 for details.

THE peninsula’s fi rst weekly produce market starts at The Briars Park in Mt Martha on Tues-day 20 October.

It is the idea of Rachael Koch, who grew up in Frankston, and Matt Taylor, of Mt Eliza – business and life partners who met at Woodleigh School – and will be the culmination of planning that started last summer when the couple fi rst started talking to peninsula suppliers.

Discussions with the shire, which owns and runs The Briars, started in April and the lease was signed last week.

Ms Koch said Briars head ranger Jarrod Ruch had “been amazing as the market fi ts in with the Briars ethos” and area councillors Bev Colomb and Anne Shaw had been supportive.

Known formally as the Briars Community Produce Market, features will include all sup-pliers no more than 40km away, zero waste, no plastic (although Ms Koch conceded meat

might have plastic packaging), and no charge for parking. Calico bags made in Australia will be on sale for $5.

They have set up a not-for-profi t structure and will put earnings back into the market including workshops in summer as well as toward projects at The Briars.

The couple is hoping for 20 stallholders at the fi rst market offering vegetables, fruit, coffee, wine, bread, olive oil and honey. “We’re looking for eggs and meat,” Ms Koch said.

Seed money for the project came from French waste management multinational Suez Environ-nment, which made 39 grants nationally this year. The couple applied for a $2400 grant but Suez liked their idea so much it doubled the grant.

Clearing for gondolaWORKERS from Parks Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire will clear plants and trees with brush-cutters and chainsaws on and around the summit of Arthurs Seat for up to seven days from Monday 12 October.

Parks district manager Libby Jude said the action was part of “fi re preparedness works in Arthurs Seat State Park for the Skylift [gondola] project”.

These “important works are required under the Planning and En-vironment Act as the park and Skylift project sits in a bushfi re management overlay”.

“Parks Victoria is partnering with the shire to undertake the works on land managed by state and local government,” she said.

“An expert ecologist has been employed to oversee the works and identify clumps of native vegetation, which will remain in the park to the required defendable space standards.”

She said visitors would see crews working with brush-cutters and chainsaws on the summit as well as the main picnic area north of Purves Rd.

“Works will be undertaken by hand and by using specialist fi re preven-tion equipment.”

The shire’s manager of environ-ment protection, David Dobroszczyk, said vegetation removal at the bottom gondola station would be “predomi-nantly the removal of woody weeds, which also provides a good environ-mental outcome for the area”.

ALMOST three years after opening in January 2013, Peninsula Link freeway will get directional and tourism signs that were omitted from the original brief for the $850 million road.

The signs come courtesy of intense lobbying by federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and peninsula tourism offi cials, and will be installed in time for this “year’s peak summer holiday period”, Mr Billson said.

About $175,000 of the cost will come from a federal Coalition govern-ment grant organised by Mr Billson in what some people will see as an unfair cost burden as the freeway is a private public partnership between the Victo-rian government and Lend Lease.

Peninsula motorists were surprised and disappointed at the lack of di-rectional and tourism signs when the freeway opened. Tourists using the freeway were even more disappointed when they ended up lost or on the wrong road.

There were no signs on the four-lane road showing traffi c where to exit to reach Baxter, Hastings and the West-ern Port side of the peninsula. Signs showing drivers how to get to Mt Mar-tha were also omitted. Few tourism signs were erected.

In August 2013, Mr Billson said the Coalition government would contrib-ute $175,000 to “refresh and update the ‘Tour Peninsula’ tourist direc-tional signage and to correct location signage errors such as omitting the Baxter township”.

Last Wednesday, Mr Billson said “At last, the ‘green light’ has been giv-en by state road authorities to install the much-needed and long-awaited Peninsula Link signs”.

“Townships and ... destinations across the region will fi nally get the recognition they deserve,” he said.

“The signs will make local popula-

tion centres and key points of interest easier for visitors to fi nd and will help businesses.”

Mr Billson said the signs would also improve driver certainty, traffi c fl ow and township identifi cation.

In total, 32 new signs will be in-stalled and 14 alterations made to existing signs along the freeway and

its approaches between the EastLink tollway intersection north of Seaford and Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Safety Beach.

New township directional signs will be installed for Baxter, Langwarrin, Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston, Mt Martha, Cranbourne, Tooradin, Ports-ea, Somerville, Tyabb, Hastings, Flin-ders and Phillip Island.

Mr Billson said there had been an “arm-wrestle over which tourist des-tinations were judged by VicRoads to be ‘regionally signifi cant’. Signs will point to Frankston Arts Centre, Penin-sula Aquatic and Recreational Centre in Frankston, McClelland Sculpture Park, and the Mornington Peninsula wine region”.

In January he said there had been “unacceptable delays” in getting the signs installed. “This has been an ex-asperating experience.”

Mr Billson said he was told signs had not been installed during free-way construction because they were not included in the original contract between the state government and Southern Way [Lend Lease] consor-tium. The PPP contract will have to be altered to refl ect the installation of the signs.

In 2013, Mr Billson blamed the state Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private public part-nership with the freeway builder, which was managed by Linking Mel-bourne Authority.

Ducking traffi cSPRING is duck season. As well as generally taking care on the roads during the school holidays, drivers should also watch out for families of ducks making their way across busy streets and footpaths this spring.This mother and seven ducklings was photographed crossing busy Eastbourne Road in Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula on Tuesday 29 September.

WHAT’S claimed to be a Victorian record blue fi n tuna was caught just outside the Heads by a Mornington angler Wednesday.Abalone diver and keen fi sher-man Aaron Crocombe hooked his 163.65kg catch using a Pakula Mouse lure 9.30am and had it in the boat 20 minutes later.The regular big gamer – a member of Snapper Point Angling Club - was with mates on a Pro-line Charters boat out of Sorrento when the fi sh struck. “I knew it was a big one but it’s hard to know how big until you get it in the boat,” he said.“We put it up against another tuna already on board and realised it was a beauty. I was using a harness and I’m still a little sore.”Fishing since he was “knee high…” – and a serious game angler since 2009 – Mr Crocombe isn’t one to rest on his laurels: he was packing Thursday for a trip to tuna-haven Robe, South Australia, “where the big ones are”.Snapper Point Angling Club’s John Beasy said the tuna was the fi rst caught from a boat out of Sorrento. He told The News of another fi shy story: “The story goes that a larger one was hooked, fought for two hours, broke the rod and was lost at the boat the previous Sunday”.Mr Crocombe is happy his was the one that didn’t get away.

Record haul: Mornington angler Aaron Crocombe couldn’t hide his smile when he landed this possibly-record-breaking blue fi n tuna Wednesday.

FIVE Western Australian councils are keen to see results of trials of an alternative waste treatment plant that includes an incinerator that generates electricity.

The plant is designed to handle 33,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste a year for the fi ve member councils, plus waste from the City of Stirling.

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors voted on 14 September to send all shire waste off the peninsula to landfi ll but to continue a commit-ment to alternative waste technology, which is generally understood to in-clude incineration of some domestic waste.

The shire was forecast to send just more than 23,000 tonnes of waste to landfi ll in 2014, indicating that a plant the size of the one being built in Perth could deal with shire waste and take about 10,000 tonnes from an adjoining municipality.

The World Bank estimates that, globally, the volume of municipal solid waste will rise in the next decade by nearly 70 per cent to 2.2 billion tonnes annually. In Victoria the state government has for some years encouraged recycling and recovery by imposing a landfi ll levy on councils.

The fi ve WA councils are members of the Western Metropolitan Regional Council group, which covers Perth

suburban Claremont, Cottlesloe, Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove and Subiaco – some of Perth’s most upmarket areas.

They “aspire for a world in which waste is not a problem but an op-portunity”.

The plant has been built by AnaeCo Ltd, which describes itself as “a listed Australian technology developer and designer of advanced resource recov-ery and recycling systems”.

It will recycle 75 per cent or more of household waste previously des-tined for landfi ll or incineration into valuable resources, AnaeCo states. This is slightly higher than the shire’s 2010 forecast of 70 per cent diversion from landfi ll by 2014.

The WA plant’s output includes biogas, “mature organic fertiliser”, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plas-tics and glass plus nearly a megawatt of electricity from a gas-fi red genera-tor that powers the plant, with excess power fed back into the grid.

The WA government wants an end to landfi lls, or tips. as early as 2020, according to a Perth newspaper.

Many Perth councils are turning to Waste to Energy (W2E) plants, which either burn waste or use other technology to convert it to energy.

The AnaeCo plant is six kilome-tres from Perth CBD. It is owned by investment funds.

Disclosure: The writer does not own shares in AnaeCo. The company was trading at 0.002 cents per share on 30 September.

RESIDENTS at a Mt Eliza nursing home slept on as their lodgings were raided by thieves last weekend.

Mornington’s Detective Senior Ser-geant Nick Vallas said thieves entered 20 separate units at the Osborne Ave premises and pilfered small items, such as iPads and mobiles, cash and jewellery, from eight of the units.

None of the elderly residents was disturbed in the overnight raids. “There were no confrontations,”

Detective Vallas said. “Nothing of great value was sto-

len.”But the sense of violation felt by

the residents can cut deep. “They feel threatened and violated in these cir-cumstances,” he said. “It’s especially annoying when thieves prey on the elderly.”

Detective Vallas said Mornington crime prevention offi cers had visited the home to advise on improved security measures.

Anyone with information is asked to call Mornington police, 59781400.

Cliff rescue after fall: A LANGWARRIN man, 17, was rescued by police helicopter after he fell down a Mt Martha cliff, 2pm Monday last week, and sustained an ankle injury. The Police Air Wing winched him to safety from the bottom of a cliff opposite Margeurita Av. His friend, 17, also from Langwarrin, stayed with the injured man until help arrived. He was picked up from the beach by the Coast Guard.

SPRING has sprung and so have mag-pies who swoop cyclists, joggers and walkers at this time of year in the mis-taken belief people pose a danger to their newly born nesting offspring.

Most magpie attacks are harmless apart from the shock some may feel when being swooped by the overly protective birds but some attacks cause serious injuries, especially to young children who are a vulnerable target of magpies’ ire.

Those seeking to avoid any confron-tation with magpies can now consult a website called Magpie Alert to see whether there have been any avian at-tacks in their neighbourhood.

Sydney-based web designer Jon Clark says he had the idea to develop the site after he was swooped by an aggressive magpie while cycling in his hometown suburb of Bella Vista.

“I got swooped while I was out on my bike and I had a look for informa-tion online and there were little bits here and there and a few little maps but nothing near where I lived,” he said.

“Being a web developer by trade I just thought I would do something for everyone. It’s been going gangbusters, it really has.”

People can log magpie attacks and send the information to the Mag-pie Alert site. In this way attack ‘hot spots’ are identifi ed if repeat attacks are logged by several victims.

Mr Clark said about 150 attacks per day are logged with Magpie Alert at this time of year and he reads every

single one to ensure they’re the real deal before the information is posted online.

Any bad language about magpies at such an emotive time for the attacked is moderated by Mr Clark before com-ments are uploaded making the site family-friendly.

The Magpie Alert shows there have been magpie attacks that caused injury in Mornington, Mt Eliza, Mt Martha, Somerville and Crib Point this year. There have also been attacks along the Peninsula Link trail in Frankston.

Mr Clark said statistics collated by his site showed there have been 600 in-juries nationwide this spring, account-ing for about 14 per cent of overall attacks.

“Anything with wheels seems to be more of a target – cyclists, young kids

on scooters or small bicycles – the magpie just seems to attack.”

The web guru has put together the Magpie Alert site in his own spare time and a recent redesign has seen on-line traffi c soar with the use of Google Maps to illustrate where attacks occur and the ability to log in to the site using Facebook and Twitter to spread mes-sages about attack sites.

Mr Clark said he may design an app for smartphones and the Apple Watch in future but “it depends how much time I get”.

See magpiealert.com to view magpie attack details. The site is free to view and use. Those who fi nd the site useful can buy the designer “a beer or two” via a voluntary donation section on the site.

Folding Arm Awnings

Bring together design solutions, high tech & innovative with a modern contemporary look. Folding arm awnings are designed to shade balconies, patios & alfresco dining areas by extending your outdoor living and entertainment areas.Without requiring any other form of support, you can make the most of your entertaining space. They fully retract back into a streamline head box and are virtually invisible when not in use.Our awnings are custom made to fit your requirements, adding to their functionality to tilt, you can set your awning to provide plenty of protection from the sun’s harmful rays. We have basic styles that are used in non- wind areas like courtyards which offer protection or cleverly designed awnings to withstand the toughest of treatments up to 48kph winds. Generally automated and installed with an intelligent sun & wind sensor these awnings retract if the wind increases to a level where it may be damaged, and when the wind diminishes the awning extends again.In the evening create an ambience that will definitely influence your mood, leaving you feeling relaxed and comfortable.

A CORONER’S inquest into the death of Tyabb boy Luke Batty – and the circumstances leading up to the tragedy – has found that it could not have been predicted.

Judge Ian Gray said in a 111-page fi nding released on Monday that the 11-year-old’s death “was not reasonably foreseeable by anyone – including his mother, Rosie Batty”.

But Mr Gray noted that circum-stances leading up to the event were exacerbated by “a failure to engage [his father Greg] Ander-son in the family violence system and make him accountable for his actions”.

He also stated: “Luke’s death, from the practicable point of view, was not preventable from the time he entered the cricket nets to practice with his father.”

The Flinders Christian Com-munity College boy was killed by Mr Anderson after cricket train-ing at Tyabb reserve in February last year – an event described by the Coroner as the “tragic death of a young life full of promise”.

Mr Anderson was shot by po-lice and died later in hospital.

Mrs Batty was at the ground at the time and, after querying her son as to his feelings about being left alone with his father, agreed later she “knew he never believed his dad would ever hurt him, by physically hurting him”.

She said she supported Luke having a relationship with his father.

Mr Gray found that Mr Ander-son had murdered his son, and that the death was preceded by years of fam

ily violence perpetrated by him on Luke and his mother.

He said he was unable to de-termine the reason for the kill-ing, but noted from Mrs Batty’s evidence that Luke was growing older and wished to withdraw from his father, and that Mr An-derson realised this and wanted to exert control over his son.

Evidence to the Coroner that Mr Anderson had a delusional disorder was accepted, but with-out evidence from a full psychi-atric assessment it was found that “no fi nding can be made with certainty about whether Mr Anderson suffered from any par-ticular mental illness or how he might have been treated”.

Mr Gray added: “No person or agency could have reasonably been expected to foresee that Mr Anderson would be that rare per-petrator, nor Luke the rare victim, of a violent fi licide.”

Chelsea police could have de-tained Mr Anderson after they spoke to him at a residential ad-dress about an alleged violent incident three weeks before he murdered his son but were una-ware of fi ve warrants out for his arrest at the time.

The coroner noted: “The Chelsea police offi cers were not aware of the unexecuted war-rants because they were not on LEAP. This was a major system failure and yet another lost op-portunity to bring Mr Anderson

to account.”LEAP is Victoria Police’s Law

Enforcement Assistance Pro-gram used by police offi cers to log incident reports.

Mr Gray did note Mr Ander-son could have been released on bail by 12 February - the day of Luke’s death - even if he had been arrested by Chelsea police.

Mr Gray made 29 recommen-dations, including that the State of Victoria seek to accurately identify a person’s risk of being the victim of family violence, and a perpetrator’s risk of repeat-ing family violence.

Others referred to whether greater weight should be given to the victim’s own level of fear in assessing the risk posed to her and her children.

Mr Gray welcomed an ex-pected overhaul of Victoria Po-lice’s methods in treating family violence cases, including the roll out of a Risk Assessment and Management Panels to better as-sess risk, in the aftermath of the tragedy.

He also recommended that all agencies within the family violence system be “suffi ciently supported” to provide training and professional development so they can provide realistic and ef-fective violence risk assessments.

He described Ms Batty as a compelling witness who clear-ly was a “loving, careful and thoughtful mother”.

“Her decisions were complete-ly motivated by her deep love for her son.

FEATURE PROPERTY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

UNDENIABLY charming, this lovely property is surrounded by established gardens and tall leafy trees that provide exquisite shade and privacy. You could be forgiven for thinking that this is a quiet bush block, yet the property is only about 350 metres from the beaches and shops along Point Nepean Road, giving new owners the absolute best of both worlds. One of the best features of the home are the fi ve bedrooms on offer. Four are set in the front section of the home and share two bathrooms – one with a bath and separate toilet, the other has a shower, toilet and single

basin, whilst the main bedroom has delightful French doors that open out to a timber verandah, and other features including a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with spa bath. A massive lounge and dining room has an open fi replace, and the rustic timber kitchen boasts a professional stainless-steel oven with gas cooktop, a dishwasher, and a wall of cupboards that provide plenty of storage options. The adjoining casual meals area is nicely set into a bay window affording a pleasant view of the garden. The decor is tremendously effective with soft shades on show in every

room and furnishings, and wonderful leadlight windows, that complement all aspects perfectly. Set on a fantastic 1134 square metre block, the slightly elevated home also offers plenty of off-street parking for boats and trailers, with a four-car garage featuring a handy outdoor shower – with hot water – great for those return trips from the beach. There is also a single carport to the front of the block.

WHAT’S NEW...

ARTISTS from Mornington’s Baluk Arts will attend the inaugural Tarnanthi Festival of Con-temporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, 8 October, in South Australia.

Baluk is the only Victorian Indigenous art centre to attend the festival, which aims to cast new light on the art of our rich and diverse indigenous cultures.

The non-profi t arts organisation in Bruce St is owned by Aboriginal artists from Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and wider south-east Melbourne.

They come from diverse backgrounds from all over Australia and their artworks refl ect themes of identity in a contemporary cultural context.

Through Baluk Arts, family groups and mem-bers of the “stolen generation” have reconnected with their culture and are able to express their histories through strong artistic practices to sup-port their cultural and creative well-being.

Baluk Arts encourages community devel-opment, youth leadership, participation and interaction, and Indigenous governance through innovative arts practice.

They feel the Tarnanthi Festival is a great opportunity for Baluk artists to reach new audi-ences and meet other Indigenous artists and art centres.

Those interested in assisting with costs should call 5975 5000.

Eye catching: Baluk art works on display at Mornington centre.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

New Buick touring cars arrive in MorningtonNew Buick touring cars arrive in MorningtonCompiled by Melissa WalshA DANCE will be held in the Lang-warrin Hall on Wednesday evening next, given by the members of the Langwarrin Social Club.

***WORD has been received by Mr G. Shepherd, of Somerville, that his son, (Wheeler Frank Shepherd) is ill in the hospital at Malta.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual Somerville market on Wednesday next, when they will offer horses cattle, pigs, poultry and sun-dries. A good yarding is expected.

***A meeting of the Somerville Patriots’ League will be held at Somerville, in the Horticultural Hall, on Monday evening, for the purpose of electing offi cers, and general business.

***MR A. Rivett, of Somerville, met with a nasty accident a few days ago, while driving some sheep that were trespass-ing out of his paddock. He tripped and fell on his shoulder on a stump. On a visit to Dr Maxwell on Monday it was found that he had fractured the cap of his shoulder bone with partial disloca-tion of the joint.

***IN consequence of the cancellation of the 4.37pm train to Frankston, on Saturday, on and after today, (9th inst) the mail on that day will be due per train as under :— Mordialloc, 4.46 p.m; Aspendale, 4.50; Chelsea, 4.5 ; Carrum, 5 4; Seaford, 5.7 ; arriving at Frankston at 5.14 p.m.

***AN illustrated lecture will be held in the Somerville Horticultural Hall, on Tuesday evening next, under the aus-pices of the local Red Cross Society, entitled “Wattle Time”, or “Yellow-haired September”, by A. J. Campbell Esq. The lecture will be illustrated by 70 superb views—Songs will be ren-dered during the evening.

***THE Peninsula Motor Garage, Pty. Ltd. notify by special advertisement that they have secured four new up to date “Buick” touring cars, and having secured the services of two fi rst class mechanics, are prepared to execute all repairs entrusted to them. They are also agents for the Buick cars, and are prepared to sell same, the prices of which are quoted in advertisement.

***MESSRS T R. B. Morton and Son will sell at their rooms, 72 Swanston street, on Thursday next, at 3 o’clock, 155 acres at Bittern, situated two and a half miles from Bittern Railway sta-tion, opposite Seagrove Estate. Also at the same time, 55½ acres of land fronting the Narrican Creek, being Crown allotment 178, Parish of Moe, Gippsland, situate two miles from rail-way station.

***THE news of the death of Mr Charles Martin, of Frankston came with some-thing of a shock to the residents as he always appeared to be a strong healthy man, and during his residence of some 8 years in the district he enjoyed the best of health. It appears that a few

days before his death he contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia, from which he gradually sank and died on the 23rd, at his moth-er’s residence, Essendon. He leaves a wife and two sons to mourn their loss.

***THE contractor for the addition to the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, has fi n-ished his contract, and the building as it now stands is quite an ornament to that part of the town. The additions are done in brick with red tiled roof and consists of two large rooms in front of the old building 22ft x 21ft each, with a hall 22ft x 8ft between them.

One of the rooms is intended to be used as a library, the walls of which are surrounded with shelves, on which there will be ample room to store the present library with considerable addi-tions thereto. The second room can be used as a committee or reading room.

At the rear of the building and abut-ting on the stage an additional room, 11ft x 14ft has also been erected, which will be found of great conve-nience to concert companies as a re-tiring room. Each of the new rooms have a fi replace in them, and gas in-stalled, and when properly furnished will prove of great benefi t both to the public and to the committee.

***VICTORIAN School Children pay for Half a Hospital. The Defense De-partment is establishing a Hospital at Caulfi eld for wounded soldiers. The Executive Committee of the Educa-tion Departments’ War Relief Fund at its recent meeting unanimously

decided to give £10,000 towards the erection of Wards, — these wards to be named “The Victorian State School Children’s Wards.”

Each of these wards, 24 in all, will cost from £800 to £1000 to build and equip, so that the offer of the school is to pay for practically half the hospital. At the very least the young patriots will be providing for 300 wounded.

Miss May Cox the secretary to the fund, clearly points out that the chil-dren will have a special interest in their own men, and it is certain these will not go short of comforts.

From October 2nd to October 9th each school in the State will make a special effort to raise the balance of the sum voted. The week will be known as Hospital week.

Last season 20,000 leeches were supplied to Melbourne hospitals by Victorian State School children, who donated the cash gained, to their School Patriotic Funds. Dr J. A. Leach organised the movement. The Doctor is now appealing for 6,000 additional leeches to him care of Teachers’ Train-ing College, Grattan street, Carlton. He also wishes to inform frog collec-tors that their market is glutted, and he trusts they will turn from “frogging” to “leeching,”

***A large crowd gathered at the Somer-ville Stadium on Saturday night to witness the bout between the two lightweights “Wingie” Meldrum and “Queenie” Lewis, as a ding-dong “go” was expected.

Meldrum entered the ring fi t and

well and turned the scale at 9st 8lbs. Lewis turned it at 9st 4lbs and ap-peared rather nervous. J Webb acted as timekeeper, while S. Meldrum and “Pluto the Groom” were Meldrum and Lewis respective seconds.

Billie Hutch was promoter, while “Bill” Lang acted in a capable manner as referee. The contest was very one-sided; Meldrum landed his blows with effect, while Lewis hit out wildly (for home). However, Lewis went down in the 3rd round, and Bill Lang count-ed the (Euroa) Don out, and amidst cheers, declared “Wingie” the winner.

***A well-attended working bee was held at the Rosebud Recreation Reserve when new gates were placed in po-sition and a considerable amount of clearing was done.

The Committee hopes that with continued support, the reserve will be made an attractive resort for both resi-dents and visitors.

During an interval, refreshments were served by some of the ladies, whose efforts in this direction were much appreciated by the workers.

Should the improvement of the Re-serve be far enough advanced by the Christmas holidays, it is probable that the grounds will be “offi cially opened” at a Sports meeting in aid of the Rosebud Patriotic Fund, and some donations have already been promised for that purpose. “Advance Rosebud.”

By Stuart McCulloughTHE birds are chirping, the scent of cut grass fi lls the air and – low and be-hold – the blue sky has fi nally emerged from its winter hibernation. There’s no denying it: spring is fi nally here. Hoo-ray! For a time it seemed as though winter would never end. As if art and real life were getting all mixed up and some kind of Game of Thrones-style epoch-enduring cold snap would be with us forever. And then, just like that, the veil was lifted and sunlight poured in. I, for one, could not be hap-pier.

Goodbye over-sized jumpers, hello t-shirts! Hats, sunglasses – I love so many of the accoutrements a warmer climate has to offer. There are limits, naturally. I know that some people love to wear shorts. I am not one of those people. As a consequence, al-most no one on Earth as ever seen my legs. Rest assured for those who have imagined what they might look like, they are whiter than white and, if viewed with the naked eye, may infl ict signifi cant damage to an unprepared retina. Indeed, they’re so pale as to be nearly luminescent. In an emergency, ships could be guided to shore, using my exposed legs in place of a light-house. Frankly, I’m doing all of you a favour by keeping them hidden. As a result, I have never been and am unlikely to become a shorts-wearing champion.

My problems with shorts began, like most problems, in childhood. While some might argue that shorts have a long (ironically enough) and proud history, the nineteen seventies must

surely constitute a dark chapter that even the most ardent of short defend-ers must concede is a stain on their reputation. In actual fact, the seventies pretty much waged war on trousers generally, regardless of the length of leg involved. But the shorts were par-ticularly memorable. They reached half way up your torso, almost render-

ing the need for a wedgie redundant. There was a split at the side to reveal more fl esh than the hem would other-wise permit. And then there was the piping, glorious piping, swimming around the edge of the garment, fram-ing the middle of your body. Some-where along the line, piping went out of fashion if, indeed, it was ever in

fashion to begin with. Maybe that’s where my aversion to shorts began.

Granted, I wore them at school, but always felt vulnerable. There is something inherently unnerving about shorts. They require eternal vigilance lest you should end up revealing more of yourself than you ever intended. Wearing shorts to school was some-thing done under sufferance while wearing long pants all year round was a recipe for disaster; guaranteed to mark you out as some kind of freak. I wore shorts to conform rather than for comfort. For me, fi nishing school wasn’t just about reaching adulthood. It was about never having to wear shorts again. My father, however, had a different view.

There are two types of adult shorts: the casual and ‘the special occasion’. The former involves pretty much any-thing with two leg-holes that doesn’t fall down in public. The latter is a very different beast. Possibly a warthog. Or a Wildebeest; albeit one that’s impec-cably groomed but a Wildebeest nev-ertheless. My father was once fond of formal shorts; the kind that require a belt (preferably white) and look like they belong to a suit that comes with a Pith helmet.

Were it up to my father, he would doubtless describe them as incredibly stylish. However, he has no say in that matter and I, in stark contrast, would describe his formal shorts and noth-ing short of horrifying. Even with the benefi t of hindsight, to say nothing of extensive therapy, I cannot think of a situation where formal shorts are re-quired. Under what circumstances is it

appropriate to wear an item of clothing with all the inbuilt pageantry of shorts with a belt and still expose your hairy kneecaps? The cold hard truth is that no such event exists. Not now. Not even in the nineteen seventies.

Perhaps my father’s shorts weren’t shorts at all. Maybe they were a time machine. It just might be that when I saw my father strut out into the living room in his formal shorts, complete with belt and replete with a threat to leave the house and infl ict this image on the world at large, I saw the future. This, I would have concluded, is what the future holds for me. I decided right then and there that I would do every-thing in my power to avoid such a fate, even if it meant strapping on a pair of 501s on a forty-degree day. Discom-fort is a small price to pay.

Now that the warmer months have arrived, there will be all kinds of pres-sure. If the weather permits, next time I’m in Tyabb, my father will drag the two infl atable boats down from the shed. Christened the ‘Canoe Reeves’ and the ‘Salma Kayak’, these two ves-sels will be pressed into service on the lower dam. He keeps them, I suspect, just in case he wants to go up a cer-tain creek without a paddle. But it’s not for me. Piloting the Canoe Reeves would necessitate a change of clothes. Piloting a boat demands either short pants or fl ared trousers. The long and the short pants of it is that I just can’t bring myself to do it.

The long and short of shortsThe long and short of shortsTHE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES


The Red Hill – Merricks Rail TrailThe Red Hill – Merricks Rail TrailBy Lorraine Aitken Tucked away in the hinterland of Red Hill is a well-worn trail that pre-dominately follows the former train line from Red Hill South - Merricks station ground. It is popular with walkers, mountain bike riders and (to my children’s delight), horses.

The 6.5km trail starts from behind the Epicurean Centre in Red Hill South on a wide dirt trail that slowly descends and takes in views across undulating farmland, vineyards and Western Port until you reach the turnaround point or coffee stop at the Merricks General Wine Store.

As the name suggests the trail was formerly a train line which origi-nally ran between Bittern and Red Hill from 1921 – 1953 to transport stock, timber, fertiliser, fi rewood and produce such as apples, pears and strawberries to the city markets. Although the Southern Peninsula only had an estimated population of 1,500 people in 1912, the annual turnover of 12,000 head of stock and 12,000 tons of farm produce mixed with poor roads saw the need arise for a train. In 1915 permits for the train line were granted, however it wasn’t until after World War One that works began and the line was offi -

cially opened in 1921. The advent of motor transport led to the line being unprofi table as passenger numbers declined substantially from 1929 and services were reduced until the train line eventually closed in 1953 before being dismantled in 1955. Over time a section of the train line became pri-vate property and there is a slightly steeper deviation to the original trail.

The relaxed pace of this trail is perfect for families looking to enjoy the countryside without the effort of fi nding suitable trails for bush-

walking with strollers. Although the trail surfaces varies somewhat with gravel, dirt, crushed rock, grasses and at times mud you will still get a three wheeler pram along the trail without too much diffi culty and older children will enjoy riding their bikes.

When we were on the trail we spotted giant bright red toadstools among a blanket of pine needles, horses in nearby paddocks trotted up to the fence line to greet us, some cows were enjoying the lush pasture, wild rabbits that seemed fairly tame,

rows of vines, an array of native fl owers, locals enjoying a stroll with their dogs and a few horse riders that stopped to say hello before trotting on down towards the equestrian grounds at Merricks.

Despite there not being any bush-land as such there is plenty to see along the trail and it’s always nice to have the kids out in the fresh air exploring the environment and chal-lenging them to remember some of the local history learnt along the way. To further the history lesson you

need to look no further than the Mer-ricks General Wine Store which was built in 1924 to provide locals with supplies. The Mornington Peninsula Cellar & Pantry was the original post offi ce and the Epicurean Centre was the packing shed for apples that were taken to Crib Point and shipped.

The Red Hill – Merricks Rail Trail has an important historical place in the development of the Mornington Peninsula region and is well worth an afternoon stroll.

Only three villas grace the scene, creating a sense of seclusion

and indulgence. The outlook of the lake with its birdlife offers a

cathartic break from the daily grind.You can self-cater in the well equipped kitchen, or dine at

“Stillwater at Crittenden” which is on the family estate.

“There is a natural synergy that exists between the Crittenden Wine

Centre and the newly refurbished Lakeside Villas accommodation

suites on the estate, together with the ‘Stillwater at Crittenden’

restaurant,” said Rollo whose wife Linda manages the villas.

“We like to provide guests with the complete package in one location”.

Crittenden Estate in Dromana have set the benchmark high for

a peninsula wine experience. The vision that was born 33 years

ago with those first five acres shows no sign of abating. The next

generation have embraced their father’s dream and it seems like

nothing will stop them.There may be many wineries on the peninsula, but there is only

one Crittenden Estate. If you haven’t been there, you haven’t

been anywhere.

Spring 2015

A lot can happen in a year as young peninsula

photographer, Josh Brnjac demonstrates, the

13-year-old photographer having started his own online

business since we last met in Spring 2014.Melissa Walsh catches up with Josh, now in his first year of

high school, to find out what’s been happening in this creative

kid’s world.“In the past 12 months its been really exciting. After releasing

the first website I got back into the photography but wanted

to get an online presence for my business,” says Josh. “I have

recently released an e-commerce store offering a collection of

my best photographs on stunning mediums to an Australia-

wide audience.”For Josh the whole process of getting the online business

right has been trial and error but he was determined to stick it

out as he knew the value of a good online presence.“It has helped me along the way to attain my other goal as

well, which is finding a charity I feel touched by and giving

a percentage of the proceeds to that,” says Josh, who believes

it is as important to give back to the community. “This way I

get to help bring the beauty of Australia into everyday living

spaces, and support a charity which is close to my heart.”The charity that Josh supports is Kigezi Youth and Mentor

Development Project Uganda, Africa.“I wanted to empower the lives of others, and the KYMADP

is an outreach initiative in Kabale. The primary focus of my

By Melissa Walsh

THROUGH THE EYES OF THE YOUNGsponsorship is to equip, empower and enrich,” says Josh. “To

equip the underprivileged youth of Kabale with life skills, to

empower the vulnerable young to utilize their full potential,

and to empower the lives of those who have been marginalized

through abject poverty by providing education to enrich their

lives with purpose, hope and opportunity.” Josh has already been amazed with where the money has been

used so far.“I was fortunate to sell a print at the Flinders Gallery and

put the money towards a young boy who needed leg surgery.

This was about two months ago, before I had even released

the website.”As for running a business when you are 13, Josh says his

parents insist that he gets his homework done first when he

gets home from school. Then he can do business follow-ups.

“My parents are so helpful. There are lots of things you

can’t do when you are a kid so they will help me out with

things like contracts with suppliers for instance, but I do all

the groundwork and phone them to set up the partnerships

though. Sometimes they care about my age. Other times they

don’t,” says Josh.Josh now sells his photographs on different mediums like

glass and metal, and has found a niche in the market for this

unusual artwork.“I like to go through Australian companies to supply my glass

When Peninsula Essence’s Ricky Thompson met his wife Tracy in High School he soon became aware that if he wanted to go out with her he had better develop an interest in horses.That’s the way it is when you love horses and Tracy had been riding

since she was a little girl, following closely in her mother’s footsteps.Now, decades later, the females of the family continue to ride together, and have run agistment properties for 25 years.On 64 acres in Bittern is Jack’s Beach Farm, where the three

generations of women gather every week to ride and look after their horses.Tracy, her daughter Chelsea, sister Sara and mum, Linda, are as

close as you can get, and there’s no doubt this special bond has everything to do with their four legged friends.Linda has been riding ever since she can remember, having grown

up on the peninsula and raising her daughters around horses. “My main love is trail riding, getting out and into the country,”

says Linda, who grew up in Tucks Road, Shoreham. “The kids loved it too and got their first horses when they were 7 and 5.”Linda says that there have been many changes in where you can

ride as the years have gone on.“I used to ride from Red Hill to Crib Point along the road but

you can’t do that any more. It’s too dangerous now but I used to ride up to the hills every Sunday.”When the girls aren’t on horses, they are talking about horses

or on websites about horses, and young Chelsea is no different, following in mum and grandma’s footsteps.“Chelsea goes to the Balnarring Pony Club, the same one we

used to,” says Tracy and Sara. “We are members of the Merricks Saddle Club.”Rain, hail or shine, this family of horse-lovers put their money

where their mouth is, spending nearly every spare moment at the property, caring for the horses and doing maintenance.“We do feeds in the morning, then back in the afternoon giving

One of Australia’s most respected and sublime recording artists, Katie Noonan, has released her latest album, ‘Transmutant’, and is heading off on a national tour that kicks off in Mornington.

An ethereal body of work, it introduces audiences to Katie Noonan’s Vanguard, bringing Katie back to the band environment where she started her career as an 18 year old, a backdrop where she acknowledges, she feels most comfortable.

Fans received an initial taste of ‘Transmutant’ from a teaser single earlier in the year, a haunting track called ‘Peace is My Drug’. The album takes in a lot of sonic terrain, from the slow-build of opener ‘Falling Into A Lie’ to the layered percussion of lead single ‘Quicksand’, through the back-and-forth of ‘In The Name of the Father’ (a duet with rising star Jordan White from Playwrite) and the playful percussion of the closing ‘Cloud of Home’.

Katie explains that the album’s inspiration was two-fold – as the album title suggests, it personifi es a shift, a change - to mutate. It’s the musical realisation of a journey,

of the personal changes that she’s gone through over the past few years. It was also a chance for her to connect deeply with her audience through her crowd-funded Pledge campaign (which reached it’s target in under 48 hours) and to really take the reins as a producer to create a lush cinematic world that refl ects her various muses. Overall, a process that has really empowered and inspired her.

“The Captains had electronics in that there were samples and stuff, but this explores that world a little more. I bought this very cool vintage drum machine and we played around with a lot of vintage keyboards and synths – it’s been about opening up the sound a little more.”

Katie Noonan’s Vanguard comprises Katie, The Captains bandmates Stu Hunter and Declan Kelly, plus a new face in New Zealand guitarist Peter Koopman.

‘Transmutant’ comes to life via an extensive national tour that kicks off at The Grand Mornington on 15 October. Tickets on sale now at:

Doomed duo: Romeo (Zachary Thomas) and Juliet (Gretel Sharp) seal their love for each other with a kiss as Dionysus Theatre’s storytellers Sam (Madeline Rintoul) and Greg (Mitchell Sholer) watch from afar, feeling they have to do something about the lovers’ fate in Shakespeare’s play. Picture: Rebecca Benson

FICTION’S two most famous star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are coming to Frankston next month thanks to a Dionysus Theatre production of Shakespeare’s passionate and tense tragedy.

Romeo & Juliet will be staged at the McClelland College Performing Arts Centre in early October and director Emma Sproule is looking forward to bringing the tale of the two lovers caught between the feuding Capulet and Montague families to life.

Those who already know the story of Romeo & Juliet will still fi nd the Dionysus Theatre take on the Shakespeare play unique.

“Ours is an interpretation that focuses on the power of the story and how timeless it continues to be as we introduce two storytellers, Sam and Greg, who weave in and out of the story in order to heighten our appreciation and understanding of its effect on us, even though we know from the very beginning exactly how it has to end,” Ms Sproule said.

In a post-modern twist, Sam and Greg become players in the story and try to save the doomed titular lovers.

For centuries, Romeo & Juliet has been the love story by which all others are measured, and even though so many of its elements are outdated, extreme and unrealistic, it is as relevant today as it was more than 400 years ago.

Dionysus’ twist to this tale shows that it still today remains the greatest love story ever told and it continues to be told because that is the power of a great story – the power that we never tire of sharing and living them; even when we know how they will end.

Romeo & Juliet will be performed ‘in the round’ at McClelland College Performing Arts Centre, 26 Alexander Crescent, Karingal, 2-10 October, 8pm. Tickets $30, $25 concession, group booking discounts. See dionysustheatre.com.au for full dates and booking information.

CELEBRATING FRANKTHE OFFICIAL 100TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT

THE exhibition described as the “irreverent and playful rabble-rouser of the Archibald’s” the Salon des Refusés” is coming to Victoria – and Mornington – for the fi rst time.

The exhibition showcases what’s described as “the ones that got away” – meaning those artworks that were not granted a showing in the famous Archibald Prize.

They include a prized selection of the “humorous, innovative, mad, bad and dangerous entries that were too fabulous to resist”, say Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery organisers, who take delight in hosting the only showing in Victoria.

The works, torn from obscurity, include portraits of Robert Forster, Catherine Martin and Carlotta, sculpture of a homeless man by Paul Trefry that was shown in the Wynne landscape prize, portrait of Greek Consul-General Dr Starvos Kyrimis, as well as Christopher Pyett’s sensitive portrait of Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty.

The Salon des Refusés was begun by the S.H. Ervin Gallery, in Sydney, in 1992, in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald and

Wynne prizes not selected for hanging in the offi cial exhibition.

Each year a panel is invited to go behind the scenes to select the best from the many works entered, but not chosen, for the offi cial awards. The criteria for those selected in the Salon are quality, diversity, humour and innovation.

The S.H. Ervin’s Salon des Refusés exhibition has established a reputation that rivals the selections of the “offi cial” prize exhibitions and is often cited as a “more lively

and discerning” selection, the gallery says.

It will run 10 October-29 November at the gallery in Civic Reserve, 350 Dunns Rd (corner Mornington-Tyabb and Dunns Rd), Mornington.

Tickets are adults $7, with Mornington gallery and other Victorian gallery members, concession and National Trust Members $4 and children under fi ve free. There is free entry for seniors during the Victorian Seniors Festival, Tuesdays 13, 20 and 27 October.

SALON DES REFUSÉSMornington Peninsula Regional Gallery

Talking point: Paul Trefry’s Homeless still human work is of silicone, fi berglass, polyester resin and horse hair. It was a Wynne Prize entry.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntTHE 2015 Nepean League season was another tightly contested one and the fi nal fi ve went down to the very last quarter of the fi nal round.

After years of domination from Sorrento, the baton was handed over to Rosebud, the 2015 premiers.

Rosebud was the most consistent side all season, while its grand fi nal opponent, Somerville, was undoubt-edly the most exciting side of season 2015.

It was a fi tting grand fi nal.However, despite the fact it’s been

just two weeks since the cup was held aloft, attention has quickly turned to the 2016 season.

Right now, coaches’ phones are running hotter than any other time of the season.

This is a snapshot of what the coaches would be looking for.

Rosebud: First and foremost, the Buds need to fi nd themselves a coach.

Just one applicant for a job that saw the seniors win the fl ag, the reserves go into the second week of fi nals and the Under 19s losing two matches in two seasons.

The Buds also need to fi nd replace-ments for their best two players, Ja-son Bristow and Rob Forrest, both of whom found the travel diffi cult. Star forward Tom Baker is being hotly sought-after by Sorrento.

Somerville: The Eagles just need experience. Some cool heads to con-trol the excitable list. A mentor for coach David ‘Budda’ Hirst would also be a welcome recruit. No offence at all to the guys on the bench now, however, a fresh, experienced set of eyes to support Hirst on the fi eld and off it would be the best recruit the Ea-gles could get.

Look likely to lose Cal Dixon but have secured bull Ben Crowe.

Expect a major signing later this week.

Sorrento: The Sharks have lost three of their best players in Troy Schwarze (retired), Tyrren Head and Leigh Poholke (Karingal). They won’t be easy to replace.

Talk is Daniel Grant and Myles Pitt would like to travel.

Jon Croad will become the domi-nant player in the competition in 2016.

Rosebud premiership coach Nick Jewell takes the reigns.

Sorrento always lands a big name or two and this pre-season will be no different.

Luke Tapscott is coaching the Un-der 19s.

Red Hill: The Hillmen are just so close to challenging you can taste it.

The Hillmen need a key forward, tough, experienced midfi elder and a ruckman. If the boys on the hill can land those, as well as keep their list (talk is B&F winner Paul Wintle is considering retirement), they will head to the third week of fi nals in ‘16.

Word is they are close to getting the ruckman they are looking for.

Hastings: Hastings wasn’t a happy place at the end of the season. What’s required is for those who don’t want to be there to disappear and those that do put their heads down and have a crack.

Taylor and Kain Stratton go to Crib Point. The Blues keep Shaun Foster

and Matt Clifford and word is they have some ‘good’ connections that might help the Blues land a few more.

Rye: The Demons need to fi nd depth.

As the 2015 Team of the Year sug-gested, their top-end players are elite and the best in the competition.

Throw in the likes of Brady Egan, who is also elite but just missed out on the best 22.

A ruckman would be more than handy, as would another key defend-er.

They need Ben Holmes to do a pre-season and be right for the year. If not, they need a key forward also.

Devon Meadows: The Panthers were the big improvers of 2015, espe-cially in the back half of the season.

A ruckman is the number one pri-ority for the group, while they’ll be looking for more improvement from some of the teenagers who played in the reserves fl ag.

Expect some recruitment news at this club.

Frankston: The Bombers will kick of their year on Good Friday at Frankston’s Kars St Oval.

Former Carlton and Brisbane Lion Brendan Fevola will be the drawcard.

The Bombers need some key posi-tion players.

Sam Drake, their best player, is heading overseas.

Coach Beau Muston would have re-alised just how far off his side was in 2015 and what needs to be gained in the off-season.

Dromana: Expect the Tigers to im-prove in 2016.

I think it’s unfair though to simply assume that everyone who left the club is going back because favourite son Rikki Johnston is coaching.

The fact is players are getting well paid elsewhere (and played in prem-ierships) and the Tigers’ probably can’t afford to get them back.

Their Under 19 premiership team was littered with stars and it’s time to rebuild.

Pearcedale: The Panthers kicked-off the pre-season announcing Chris Irving as assistant coach.

There will be some other names to add to this list in the coming weeks and coach Jamie Merchan is confi -dent of landing some big fi sh.

Merchan has a very clear strategy and the recruitment of kids is high on the agenda.

Troy Jacobson and Alex Harnett re-turn from Dolphins and Lachy Mar-shall has recommitted.

Crib Point: There will be a buzz around the Magpies’ camp this pre-season with a new coach in Taylor Stratton.

The Pies were ravaged by injury this season and were a massive slider in 2015.

If they can maintain their list and get them all through a pre-season, the Pies should enjoy a rapid rise in 2016.

Tyabb: The Yabbies had a year of building up the cash reserves.

Hosting the fi nals would have given them a nice cash injection.

However, no point having the mon-ey if you don’t get recruits.

The Yabbies need to land them-selves a coach with a profi le who can bring some players along for the ride.

Did you know... you can view our

papers onlinePENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntFRANKSTON YCW made it five Peninsula League premierships in six years last Sunday.

The big question coming from the mouths of spectators and opposition clubs as they were walking out of Kars St Oval was “how do we compete”?

It’s a very good question.Mt Eliza may have finished as minor pre-

mier but Frankston YCW was clearly the best side in the competition in 2015.

Going into the finals, we were all hopeful of a challenge but deep down, we all knew the final result would be 10-goals plus. It was 87 points.

Clubs now get to work over the com-ing months to build a plan to challenge the Stonecats.

YCW will lose some players to opposition clubs, however they have strong reserves and Under 19’s chomping at the bit for an oppor-tunity. The champs will also look to bolster their stocks with some recruits.

The Stonecats have pockets and flankers that would walk into most team’s midfields. They have key position players standing on a wing.

Fact of the matter is that YCW will not slide – they’ll be the benchmark again.

Personally, I think all clubs are playing for second again at this early stage.

Here’s what the other clubs will be looking for to try and bridge the gap.

Mornington: The Doggies need another key forward to support Jackson Calder.

Dale Whelan is a genuine leading forward but the Dogs need another weapon inside the attacking arc. Defensively they structure up well with Miller, Nolan, Symes and Haddock. A couple of 6.2’ runners would be handy.

Mt Eliza: The Redlegs have reappointed coach of the year John Georgiou and now they need to lock in their existing stock.

Justin Van Unen is a key, as are the likes of Lobardozzi, Gill, Booth, D’Orazio and Landry.

The Redlegs need to add a genuine ruck-man.

They also need to get Scott Lockwood up and going again. Another key defender and forward would be icing on the cake. The Redlegs season came to a halt when Lock-wood went down with a knee.

Edi-Asp: The Eagles need some players with some body size. The team is gifted in terms of talent but light on. Good on the spread but pushed off the footy in close.

Can’t afford to lose the likes of Kremmer, Garth, Tagg, O’Hanlon, Clark, Meehan and Mullins. Need another big key defender,

ruckman and a couple of mids to allow Ma-vric and Tim Mannix to play on flanks.

Pines: As much as we’d like to see Guy Hendry play at a higher level, Pines can’t af-ford to lose him. They have arguably four of the best 10 players in the comp in Beau and Guy Hendry, Aaron Edwards and Luke Potts.

The Pythons are brilliantly coached by Pat Swayne. Depth is the issue and they just need to add some B-graders to bolster the list. A full back would be handy too and another genuine gun midfielder.

Brad Kiely from Langwarrin/Dolphins signed with the Pythons on Wednesday.

Langwarrin: Most important thing is to appoint a coach.

Clubs are circling Langwarrin and if they don’t lock someone in soon, they could be in strife.

The club needs to build around the likes of Gerard Brown, Matt Naughton and Nick Hammill. The club needs to be given some life.

Bonbeach: The Sharks lost a heap of play-ers in the 2014-15 off-season, however, still managed to compete very well. They need some height and some class. There is a lot of grunt in the team but some genuine star fac-tor is required.

Seaford: Seaford has to be congratulated. They cast the net far and wide for a coach and spoke to anyone and everyone. They have landed with three time grand final coach at East Brighton Ben Murphy. There is noth-ing but positiveness in-store for the Tigers. A few recruits, which Ben is sure to bring, along with Rourke Fischer, and they are back in the mix for a finals berth again.

Chelsea: The Gulls are yet to reappoint Brent Guerra at this stage. One wonders whether the investment in an AFL premier-ship player could be better spent on building on the list with a handful of recruits. Todd Gardiner is a star but he needs support. Rose-bud premiership pair Rob Forrest and Jason Bristow have been linked with the Gulls.

Karingal: The most exciting club of the pre-season so far. The Bulls have landed Sorrento premiership players and 2015 Team of the Year stars Leigh Poholke and Tyrren Head.

Former star Bulls Duncan Proud, Cal Dixon and Chris ‘Cocky’ Hay are also being linked.

Head has a shoulder and this will be a concern.

On Wednesday night the Bulls signed Seaford youngsters Mark Czarnecki and Rhys Chadwick, along with Matt Tarr. Anthony Joel has also returned from Rye.

GENUINE UNBREAKABLE ADVENTURER

Rosebud Toyota1343 - 1353 Point Nepean Road Rosebud T

Motoring

TOYOTA has released the toughest HiLux ever – a new-generation range that combines impres-sive global advances with extensive local devel-opment and evaluation designed to conquer the most severe operating conditions in Australia.

Almost every aspect of the eighth-generation HiLux has been strengthened, including a thicker frame, stiffer body, new high-torque turbo-diesel engines, advanced six-speed trans-missions, beefed-up suspension and brakes, and expanded off-road ability.

Towing capacity is now up to 3.5 tonnes and payloads are up to 1240kg – with 23 of new HiLux’s 31 variants confi rmed as genuine one-tonners, including all 4x2 variants and all 4x4 single and extra cabs.

At the same time, the latest HiLux offers SUV-like features including a more compliant ride, quieter cabins and higher levels of comfort and convenience with standard air-conditioning, touch-screen display audios, cruise control,

more supportive seats and power-operated win-dows, mirrors and door locks.

New HiLux also has a distinctive Australian fl avour with Toyota’s local engineers undertak-ing an unprecedented six-year program that delivered a new rugged suspension package, enhanced underbody protection, and electronic control systems tuned for more effective opera-tion on gravel and during off-road driving.

More than one million kilometres of testing, including 650,000km in Australia, has confi rmed the performance, reliability and durability of new HiLux over the widest possible on-road, off-road and climatic conditions.

A new family of high-torque turbo-diesel engines is headed by a 2.8-litre version with maximum torque of up to 450Nm – a gain of 25 per cent compared with the previous 3.0-litre engine. Its 2.4-litre sibling also generates higher torque of up to 400Nm.

New HiLux: tougher, more refi ned and more Australian than ever
