By Chris BrennanPOLICE are investigating the “sense-less slaughter” of nine chickens at a Rosebud primary school.Eastbourne Primary School’s pupils,
teachers and the broader school com-munity were devastated following the discovery of all but one of their chick-ens dead in a pond in the school’s gar-den on Monday morning last week.
Police said the chickens appeared to have been killed some time over the weekend but were unable to say exact-ly when or how they had been killed,
other than that human intervention had been involved.“We’re certain beyond a shadow of
doubt that they’ve been killed by hu-man hands,” Sergeant Tony Paterson of Rosebud police said. “It’s impossible to say how exactly
they were killed, whether they were pond, or whether they’ve drowned af-ter being attacked, but either way it’s a senseless and cruel act.“It’s certainly very concerning both
for the level of upset caused to the
children and for the level of cruelty displayed by the perpetrators. It’s hard to comprehend how anyone could do such a thing. The cruelty displayed is very concerning, as is the senseless destruction of what are children’s pets.
“We’ll be continuing our investiga-tion and we’d like to speak to anyone who can help shed light on the matter.”
Principal Stephen Wilkinson said the school had kept 10 chickens and two ducks in an enclosed pen as part of a kitchen garden program, with pupils helping feed and look after the birds.
The surviving chicken and ducks have now been been moved to a “safe location” away from the school.
“The kids are devastated by this, as is the whole school community,” he said. “We don’t know how they were killed, whether their necks were rung or something, but we found them dead in the pond.“Some people or person – we don’t
know who they might have been or how people were involved – but some-one’s broken into the garden under the fence and killed them. The police have
been here investigating and hopefully they’ll be able to get to the bottom of the matter. It’s been very upsetting for everyone at the school.” Mr Wilkinson refused to speculate
further on who the perpetrators may be or what might have motivated them.
He said the school would continue participating in the Stephanie Alexan-der Garden Kitchen program but had yet to decide if or when more chickens would be acquired. Anyone with information is asked to
call Rosebud police on 5986 0444.

A man with the community at heartA man with the community at heartGARY Sanford was there from the beginning. Appointed the bank manager when the Rye Community Bank branch, the fi rst on the southern peninsula, opened its doors.
Since then he has led the community bank revolution in the area that has seen two successful banks thriving, and now a third opening its doors in Rosebud.
Mr Sanford grew up Main Ridge and attended Red Hill Consolidated and Rosebud Secondary College.
He joined the State Bank in Rye in 1976, beginning a career in banking.
He moved to the State Bank regional offi ce in Frankston in the late 1980’s and by 1993 he was working in busi-ness banking.
Mr Sanford worked as a business banker for the Commonwealth Bank between 1993 and 2001, before apply-ing for the role as the fi rst manager of the Rye and District Community Bank. His appointment to this role was a wa-tershed for his career as he embraced the new role with vigour.
“We were only the 44th Community Bank to open its doors. It was a new concept and we worked hard to tap the community sentiment for the estab-lishment of this bank.
The results were nothing short of miraculous with phenomenal growth and profi tability.
“Unlike a traditional bank, profi t is not a dirty word. It is as simple as this, the more profi t we make, the more money we pump back into the commu-nity,” said Mr Sanford.
And give back they have. The Community Banks on the South-
ern Peninsula have returned over four million dollars to community groups.
“It is a unique model. It isn’t a matter of us handing out money. It is basically the local community creating their own wealth. The more they bank with us, the more gets returned.
Having opened Rye branch in 2001 and Dromana in 2007, the bank net-
work had both ends of the Southern Peninsula covered. This, of course, left Rosebud with no community bank representation.
“Things are a little different in Rose-bud. The town has four banks already. The thing we need for success is community spirit, and Rosebud has plenty of that,” said Mr Sanford.
“Through our existing branches, we already did plenty of business with Rosebud clubs and community groups. When we did the sums we realized it was enough to warrant the opening of a new branch.”
Mr Sanford is not blind to the work ahead.
“Opening this branch will add $360,000 in operating costs to our business each year. We need to generate between 50 and 60 million in new business to cover these costs.
How will they do it?“We focus on customer service fi rst
and foremost. We are all local, and we want to get to know our customers. From there, we build on our current model. We fi nd that once we start giving back to the local community, then people see us as not just a bank, but as a source of community funding and community service.”
Mr Sanford has a grand vision for the combined three bank network.
“We’ve donated a huge amount of money back into the community, but in the future we’d like to look at the grand projects that have previously been beyond our reach,” said Mr Sanford.
“The peninsula survives on volun-teers. We must continue the great work we have done to support those groups while lifting our sights on other projects. Instead of a project that requires $100,000 in funding, we want to look at projects that need $1,000,000 in funding.
“If Rosebud kicks off nicely, we think that in three years these are the funding projects we’ll be looking at.”
Ready for action: The empty site in Rosebud ready for the building of the new bank. L to R: Trevor Lloyd, Lloyd Co. Construction, Senior Branch Manager Gary Sanford, with site foreman Steve.

COMMENTBy David HarrisonTHIS year’s contest for Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor appears marked by dejection and lassitude among one group of councillors, and a muted scuf-fl e for the gold chain and perks – the $85,000-odd stipend and $12,000 of-fi cial car – among the others.
The sharply divided council seems to be experiencing a sub-split among its conservatives, which looks likely to block the logical mayoral choice, An-tonella Celi, from assuming the role.
Cr Celi’s conservative colleague, Frank Martin, is confi dent he will be-come mayor, for the second time in three years. He served in 2011-12 then lobbied for a second consecutive term in 2012-13, but was beaten by Lynn Bowden. Now, it seems, he is back in contention again.
A return to the role of the shire’s First Citizen means Cr Martin would have
been paid more than $200,000 in three years of his six-year career as a coun-cillor.
Cr Celi’s basic claim to be mayor is that it is her turn. She is the longest-serving councillor never to have worn the heavy gold chain. Denying her the role – by her own council faction – will break the unoffi cial line-of-succession pact that has run since councillors were fi rst elected to the shire in 1997 (after three years of commissioners).
The choice of Cr Celi as mayor should be automatic. In chronological order from 2006-07, the mayors have been Tim Rodgers, Bev Colomb, Anne Shaw, David Gibb, Graham Pittock, Frank Martin, and Lynn Bowden. Crs Gibb and Shaw have served twice in their careers.
The councillor trio elected a year ago (Andrew Dixon, David Garnock and Hugh Fraser) must wait their turn.
Cr Celi, 45, entered council at a by-
election after the retirement of Susan Beveridge in mid-2010. She was nar-rowly re-elected last October in Sea-winds Ward.
It was Cr Celi’s third tilt at the shire council. She ran in Dromana-based Kangerong Ward at the general coun-cil elections of 2005 and 2008, losing to Graham Pittock in 2008 and the late David Gregan in 2005.
Cr Celi has not been a leading light in the council chamber, but is promi-nent in debate and busy in the Sea-winds community, which she shares with Crs Gibb and Pittock.
A year as mayor would be immense-ly benefi cial for Cr Celi and may tempt her to take another tilt at state politics for the Liberal Party.
It would be unfortunate and a bad precedent if Cr Martin was elected may-or after only a year away from the job.
The role is largely ceremonial. It is well paid, with attractive perquisites.
Cr Martin was a moderate performer last time, with an eccentric habit for a meeting chairman of making points of order during debate.
Cr Martin has run into fi erce turbu-lence in his largely green wedge zone Red Hill Ward, challenged (wrongly in my view) by some activists frustrated at his voting pattern.
He is part of the dominant group – with Gibb, Shaw, Celi, Garnock and Dixon – and almost always votes with it.
His vote ensured approval of the controversial Cape Schanck brewery on green wedge land at the historic Barragunda property.
He is a perennial supporter of build-ing the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the Rosebud fore-shore.
While he attends meetings of Red Hill Ward Consultative Group, with which he is in confl ict, he is not re-garded as high profi le in his constitu-
ency and rarely speaks out on green wedge issues.
It is a struggle to recall any state-ment, major or minor, made by him during the long, contentious battle with the state government over the planning future of the 70 per cent of the shire zoned green wedge. And no public statement from him springs to mind over the shire’s foot-dragging in writ-ing its green wedge management plan.
Cr Celi should be elected mayor, for two reasons: fi rstly because of her clear claim to be next in line for the job and, secondly, because the whole shire community is entitled to the certainty of knowing the role will be equitably allocated.
The take-your-turn, or rota, system of appointing mayors has the added advantage of removing the opportunity for factions to appoint their candidate to the role. It should be adopted and implemented by councillors forthwith.

By Mike HastTWO helicopter fl ights to Red Hill Estate winery on Saturday 26 October are being investigated by Morn-ington Peninsula Shire.
Shire spokesman Todd Trimble said the winery in Red Hill South did not have a permit for fl ights.
The fl ights were reported to the shire by residents liv-ing across the valley from the winery.
One resident, who did not want to be named, told The News the helicopter circled the valley before land-ing and after takeoff. “It scares the heck out of you,” they said.
The fl ights have revived concerns about private heli-copter fl ights to tourism destinations and private prop-erties on the peninsula.
The shire has been wrestling with the issue for more than 10 years following a number of high-profi le cases and at least two visits to the Victorian Civil and Admin-istrative Tribunal.
In 2003, trucking magnate Lindsay Fox had a win when the VCAT overturned a shire decision banning a helicopter from landing at his Portsea property.
At the time, Mr Fox said people who objected were motivated more by envy than legitimate concerns about disruption or noise.
That same year, Visy Industries then-chief executive Harry Debney was refused a permit to land a helicop-ter at his Red Hill farm, which neighbours said he had been doing for some time.
In 2008 the shire took air transportation company Inchalla Nominees Pty Ltd to the VCAT over fl ights to Martha Cove development at Safety Beach in early 2006 and won.
The Fox and Inchalla cases are cited in a “practice note” issued by the state government’s Department of Planning in December 2012 that explains how helicop-ter activity is regulated by the planning system.
In 2003, then-mayor David Renouf and councillors asked shire offi cers to look for suitable landing sites on the peninsula.
“It’s going to be a very hard job because I can just about guarantee that anyone living within a couple of kilometres of those proposed sites will object. How-ever, strategically I think we need to do that.”
In November 2004, fi ve helipads sites were suggest-ed: Truemans Rd Reserve, West Rosebud; Long Point Reserve, Boneo; White Hill Reserve, Dromana; Hast-ings foreshore; and Mt Eliza Regional Park.
The sites were met by stiff opposition, leading in Au-gust 2005 to council effectively abandoning its search for helipads by passing the problem to the state gov-ernment.
The issue went quiet for a while but reared its head in late 2011 when the council dealt with a review of heli-copter use by the Department of Planning and Com-munity Development.
Some of its recommendations did not suit the shire.Shire director Alex Atkins said they appeared “geared
to deregulating the low frequency use of helicopters”.He said no case had been made to strategically justify
the deregulation.Mr Atkins said there was a need for a better network
of helicopter landing sites throughout the state and this should be dealt with by the Department of Transport.
The proposals advocated by Mr Atkins were en-dorsed by councillors at a meeting in September 2011.
Under its current policy, council has no objection to the use of helicopters by emergency services, including police and ambulance, but requires a planning permit for other takeoffs and landings, except at Tyabb air-fi eld.
Up in the air: Helicopters used by emergency services including police rescues (right) are not restricted but private fl ights are banned without a planning permit.

By Chris BrennanPENINSULA drivers are being warned of an impending police crackdown on the illegal use of mobile phones.
The blitz will coincide with tough new penalties introduced this month.
From 25 November, drivers caught using a mobile phone handset will be fi ned $433 and lose 4 demerit points, up from current penalties of $289 and 3 points.
P-platers caught will face a total ban on mobile phone use, including hands-free.
Under sweeping changes to mobile phone rules introduced by the state government, the ban on mobile phone use is being extended from P1 drivers on red P-plates to P2 drivers on green P-plates, which includes years two, three and four of holding a probation-ary licence.
Acting Sergeant Adrian Shelbourne of Rosebud highway patrol said police would be out in force across the pen-insula over summer enforcing the new rules.
“We’ll be taking a zero tolerance ap-proach to drivers using their phones behind the wheel,” he said.
“It’s such a dangerous distraction for drivers to not have their entire focus on the road, especially when they are on unfamiliar roads like many holi-daymakers on the peninsula tend to be.
“It is potentially even more danger-ous than being behind the wheel un-der the infl uence of alcohol because a

FOOTBALLER and netballer Rhett Sutton has won this year’s Rye Sports and Social Club’s top sports award.
Sutton, Rye Football Club captain, also won the award in 2006.
He has played more than 180 senior games for Rye, was Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League’s best and fairest in 2006, and captain of the league’s team of the year in 2006 and 2011.
Other winners of the sport and social club’s annual awards announced at a dinner last month were Sports Administrator of the Year, Bronwyn Ralph (junior football); and Junior Sportsperson of the Year, Holly Garac (little athletics).
Nominees at Rye RSL for the presentations were introduced by Community Bank manager Gary Sanford. Entertainment was by vocalist Samantha Hafey.

mobile device can take a driver’s en-tire attention away from the road, and even it that’s only for a couple of sec-onds, the results can be deadly.”
He said the infl ux of holidaymak-ers over the summer made peninsula roads especially dangerous.
Drivers using hand-held GPS and other mapping devices while behind the wheel was also banned, he said.
Road Minister Terry Mulder said the new regulations were some of the most signifi cant changes to the state’s road rules in years and refl ected the “grow-ing problem of distraction, which has the potential to result in deaths and in-juries on our roads”.
“We want to see using mobiles while driving become as unacceptable as drink-driving now is,” he said. “We want parents to talk to young drivers about not starting the habit, and we want people who do it now to stop.
“We have all sat at the lights and seen people with their heads down, playing with their phones. We have to decide as a community that this is not on, and make it as stupid as drink-driving.”
He said a majority of young and middle-aged drivers had admitted using a mobile phone at some stage while driving, with 88 per cent of young drivers reporting using mobile phones to read text messages and 77 per cent to send texts.
“The message clearly isn’t getting through, which is why we are making the fi nes and penalties even tougher. Any driver caught using a mobile phone illegally risks losing one-third of the 12 demerit points for a single, stu-pid act. P-platers will risk hitting their fi ve demerit point limit.
“We know these acts can, and have, caused deaths and injury on our roads.”
Assistant Commissioner for road policing Robert Hill welcomed the tougher approach, saying mobiles were the biggest cause of driver dis-traction on the state’s roads.
He said police would ramp up their enforcement efforts leading into the Christmas and New Year period.
“Taking that call, sending that text, it’s just not worth it. It just is not worth losing your life, or someone else's.”
TAC research shows drivers taking their eyes off the road for more than two seconds doubled their chance of having a crash.
Danger afloatDanger afloatBOATERS anchoring in shipping channels or fairways face on the spot fi nes of $289.
Transport Safety Victoria says it received reports of a dozen instances of recreational boats anchoring in shipping lanes in Port Phillip between 21 September and 21 October.
“Anchoring in shipping channels is downright reckless and dangerous – for yourself, your passengers and for the safe passage of the ship. Boaters should take a safety fi rst approach to prevent a day on the water ending in tragedy,” TSV spokesperson Paul Corkill said
“It is very fortunate that the recent incidents did not result in any injuries or fatalities.”

MT Eliza’s Shiva School of Yoga and Meditation opens its gardens for the second year this weekend as part of the Open Gardens Australia scheme.
This year’s event has been supported by a grant from Mornington Peninsula Shire’s community event triennial funding program.
Last week, Cr Andrew Dixon visited the ashram for a preview of the gardens, followed by afternoon tea.
A suburban oasis spanning 2.4 hectares (six acres), the gardens feature a series of distinct areas connected by agapanthus-lined paths, unrecognisable from the vacant horse paddocks of 18 years ago.
“The gardens, maintained by volunteers, are a true labour of love,” ashram director Swami Shankarananda said. “Nature and spirituality are one; through nature we experience harmony, joy and peace.
“Meditation is to seek inner harmony and peace, and when you have outer circumstances full of beauty and tranquillity, it supports meditation. Some of the most beautiful gardens I’ve seen have been attached to ashrams and monasteries. Gardens outwardly express the inner harmony of the soul.”
Highlights include a Japanese Zen garden, giant chessboard, a native
garden honouring the Boon wurrung, a lily pad-covered lake that is home to ducks, an organic permaculture vegetable garden that supplies the ashram, and a colourful cottage garden with three young magnolia grandifl ora.
Highlights of the open weekend include lunch, afternoon tea, yoga demonstrations, learn to meditate sessions and live music. Shiva School of Yoga and Meditation open garden, 27 Tower Rd, Mt Eliza, 10am-4.30pm, Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November. Entry $7, under-18s free (proceeds to charity).

CHRISTMASPARTYPACKAGES
By Mike HastMELBOURNE’S richest man has saved more than $800,000 after Morn-ington Peninsula Shire councillors agreed to change part of a planning permit for his multi-million dollar house at Point Leo.
John Gandel, who made his $3 bil-lion plus fortune in the real estate in-dustry and reportedly owns half of Chadstone shopping centre, is building a huge, single-storey home on the fore-shore with stunning views of Western Port and Bass Strait.
The council in 2010 approved a planning permit for what will be one of the biggest houses ever built on the peninsula, reputedly at a cost of $10 million.
A condition of the permit was two adjacent blocks of land had to be con-solidated onto one title.
Mr Gandel through his planner, Luke Chamberlain of Richmond-based Tract Consultants, told the council consoli-dating two of four blocks would cost him $525,124 in capital gains tax and $285,835 in stamp duty.
The property billionaire stated the amounts were calculated on valuation done by the shire in January 2010.
The two blocks in question are own-ed by separate companies associated with the Gandel Group.
In a report to councillors, the shire’s senior statutory planner James Bryan stated the permit condition to consoli-date “was to further the objectives of the Green Wedge Zone and to protect
the productive agricultural land”.“Also, it was required as the fl oor
plan of the proposed dwelling (at the time of consideration) straddled both lots. It is noted the layout and design of the dwelling has since been amend-ed and the dwelling is now wholly contained within Lot 2 (save for the screened outdoor family room).”
Mr Bryan stated a driveway off Point Leo Rd had been “formed and the site for the dwelling has been levelled and construction works are currently under way”. He told councillors the high cost of consolidating the lots “is considered overly onerous and therefore unrea-sonable”.
Removing the condition would not “affect or diminish the intent of the original planning permit condition or alter the on-ground outcome, presently or into the future, with the use of the land in the Green Wedge Zone”.
Councillors led by Andrew Dixon and Frank Martin agreed and deleted the condition.
John Gandel, born in 1935, is the son of Polish immigrant parents who founded clothing company Sussan.
The extended family is known for its philanthropy. Mr Gandel’s philanthropy is focused on medical causes and the arts. In 2010 he donated $7.5 million to the National Gallery of Australia.
In 2006, he was awarded an honor-ary doctorate from Tel Aviv University for his “business standing, broad lead-ership roles and philanthropic support in Australia and Israel”.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire rate-payers are still in the dark when it comes to knowing the value of any but the most expensive 20 of the shire’s properties.
A senior council offi cer confi rmed last week that while councillors last month agreed to reveal the shire’s 20 most valuable assets, no other values would be available.
Members of the public can gain ac-cess to the register by giving the shire 48 hours’ notice, but the values of in-dividual properties will not be shown.
The shire’s annual report includes the total value of shire-owned and con-
trolled land and buildings, about $2 billion, but no other details.
Civic Reserve in Mornington tops the list at $24 million, followed by the municipal offi ce in Rosebud at $22.3 million and Sorrento foreshore at $18.9 million.
Councillors agreed to release the top 20 only after being asked by The News if they believed ratepayers should know the value of properties managed on their behalf by the shire.
While agreeing to the top 20, a slim majority of councillors shied away from making the entire register public.
As reported last month (“Shire
reveals top 20 assets”, The News22/10/13), while debating whether to let the public know about specifi c val-ues, councillors often appeared not to know what they were voting for while arguing on one side for transparency and the public’s right to know, and on the other berating the fact that the de-bate had been initiated by “a reporter”.
Cr Graham Pittock gave examples of blocks of land that had “disappeared” from the shire register, and asked his colleagues if they knew that proper-ties such as the Safety Beach foreshore were council owned.

PARENTS on the Mornington Penin-sula are being urged to ensure shared access arrangements for children over Christmas are organised as early as possible to avoid turning the holiday period into a battleground.
Peninsula Community Legal Centre is urging families to try to agree on where their children will be staying during Christmas and make any court applications to change parenting or-ders sooner rather than later to avoid an expected court backlog.
Where no arrangements have been made, many parents leave it until too late to bring applications for parent-ing orders over the challenging school holiday and Christmas period, the le-gal centre’s principal lawyer Victoria Mullings said.
“Christmas can be a particularly dif-fi cult time for separated families, espe-cially if parents are not able to com-municate and agree about Christmas,” she said.
“When parents leave it too late, the children might be shuttled between warring parents and Christmas be-comes a diffi cult time for them.
“We encourage parents to discuss this time of year and come to an agree-ment well in advance.
“If necessary, parents should look at mediation services to assist them to reach a compromise.
“Applying to court to make a deci-sion for them about arrangements for
the children should be the last resort.” She said the Family Law Act made
children’s interests the number one priority in any decisions made, includ-ing consideration of the benefi t to the children of having a “meaningful rela-tionship” with both parents.
This meant ensuring children have the opportunity of enjoying Christmas and other special occasions with both parents at least once every two years, provided children are protected from harm.
“Because there are so many court applications by parents regarding Christmas arrangements, some courts employ extra staff during late Novem-ber and December to help manage the extra case load,” Ms Mullings said.
“Seadlines are imposed for fi ling ur-gent applications in relation to Christ-mas arrangements for children.
“If an application is fi led after the deadline has passed, the court is un-likely to be in a position to make a de-cision in that particular matter in time for Christmas.
“We strongly encourage parents to resolve their parenting issues before Christmas through mediation and by communication and cooperation in a civil manner, so their children are able to enjoy a stress-free and happy Christ-mas.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has updated and renamed a fi ve-year plan outlining its “approach to support older people”.
The draft Positive Ageing Strategy is open for public comment.
The mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, said the draft strategy proposes a “whole of council” and “whole of community” approach to support older people.
She said the shire had been “one of the fi rst councils in Victoria to develop a strategy, The Elder Citizens Strategy, to help plan its service provision for older people in the community”.
Twelve years later the shire was “pleased to present this updated
strategy to continue to create a community ‘for all ages’, promoting optimal health and wellbeing”.
Eight “key action areas” in the draft strategy are: Transport. Housing. Social participation. Respect and social inclusion. Civic participation and employ ment. Communication and information. Community services and health services. Outdoor spaces and buildings.
The draft strategy was prepared with input from the community, local agencies and Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders (PACE).
PACE chairman Don Reeves said 29
per cent of the peninsula’s population was aged more than 60, the second highest of any municipality in the state.
“This group is expected to increase signifi cantly by 2030 and the strategy aims to ensure the health, participation and security of older people in the community is enhanced,” he said.
“We encourage all older people on the peninsula and their families to review and have their say on the draft strategy.”
It can be download at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au under “Your Say” or viewed at shire offi ces and libraries.
Public comment closes 22 November. Details: 5950 1617.
Looking ahead: Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders deputy chair Marilyn Godley, left, shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden andPACE chairman Dr Don Reeves are urging people to comment on the shire’s Positive Ageing Strategy.

By Mike HastVICROADS is trying to offl oad the Esplanade onto Mornington Peninsula Shire.
The News understands the shire and VicRoads have been discussing the status of shire roads for many months but councillors were briefed for the fi rst time last week.
VicRoads can force the shire to take ownership of the so-called government road but it appears the roads authority is adopting a conciliatory approach.
The state government authority has told the shire it wants to downgrade the Esplanade’s status from an arterial to a local road, and give it to the shire.
It told the shire the road is mainly used by locals but it is common knowledge the summer season sees many tourists driving along the wind-ing coast road from Mornington to Mt Martha and Safety Beach.
VicRoads and the shire are discuss-ing several options about “ownership” of the Esplanade.
One is that the shire would take over the one-kilometre section between Main St and Wilsons Rd in Morning-ton.
A second option is between Main St and just before Balcombe Creek at Mt Martha.
Option three covers the entire road between Mornington and Bruce Rd, Safety Beach (the Esplanade’s name changes to Marine Drive at Ellerina Road West).
VicRoads said it would take fi nan-cial responsibility for “geotechnical” problems (that is, landslips) for the whole road as well as the tunnel under
Shire, VicRoads joust over EsplanadeShire, VicRoads joust over Esplanade
the entrance to Martha Cove marina, formerly Tassells Creek.
There have been three major land-slips along the Esplanade since 2010, caused by the failure of old terracotta drainage pipes under the road as well as more stormwater is coming off Mt Martha due to recent housing develop-
ment as well as good rain since the 13-year drought ended in 2010.
The landslips occurred in August 2010, March 2011 and mid-2012.
A government source said the Espla-nade was “not in fi rst class condition by a long shot”.
The shire would need to ensure any
agreement with VicRoads to take over the road was set in “rolled gold”.
Talks between VicRoads and the shire have included Main St, Morning-ton.
The News understands the shire has asked VicRoads to hand over the town’s main shopping street so the
shire can progress its Mornington structure plan.
Main St has been a government road since the early days, before councils were created. The wide footpaths in front of shops built since the 1960s ex-ist because Vic Roads once had plans to signifi cantly widen the street.

ANALYSISBy Mike HastCLIMATE change bringing increased fi re risk is not news to many peninsula residents.
A report issued mid-2008 by West-ern Port Greenhouse Alliance and its founding member councils, which in-cluded Mornington Peninsula Shire, warned the Western Port region was at risk of more bushfi res, rising sea levels, higher temperatures and “once-in-a-century” storms becoming annual events unless measures were taken to combat climate change.
The report received wide coverage in the peninsula’s local newspapers and was followed by the shire running 12 “climate change conversations” at-tended by more than 2000 residents.
The shire produced a booklet, Cli-mate change: What we are doing about it?
It provoked self-confessed climate change sceptic Andrew Bolt to write in the Herald Sun the shire had pulled a “sick stunt” and terrifi ed its residents.
Mr Bolt wrote “global warming pro phets have had great success in scream ing at us to repent or die”.
The shire’s then-mayor, Cr Bev Co-lomb, challenged the Bolt story: “The council’s climate change booklet pro-vides the local community with the re-sults of research by the CSIRO into the potential impacts of climate change on the Mornington Peninsula.
“Its fi ndings are consistent with the overwhelming weight of scien-tifi c opinion, nationally and inter-nationally.”
Greg Hunt of the greenhouse alliance weighed in to the debate: “Perhaps the blinkered Mr Bolt can tell us about the 37,000 heat-related deaths in Europe in 2003 and why we shouldn’t prepare for this possibility.”
Seven years earlier, the shire fi rst put on the agenda changing climate as well as actions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
A 2001 report provided a framework for community action.
Early actions included addressing to pics such as water and energy effi -ciency, renewable energy, land sus-tain ability and protection of the penin-sula’s green wedge.
In 2006, the shire held a climate change forum called Your Community Your Future.
Arguments can be put up that the
shire has not done enough but it cer-tainly cannot be accused of ignoring climate change issues.
The shire said some of its actions included “committing $30 million to develop and implement an integrated drainage strategy” to cope with “in creas-ed rain intensity and sea level rise”.
It has doubled its fi re management budget, and achieved “a 60 per cent reduction in potable [drinking] water use”.
The shire said average annual tem-peratures would increase by up to 1.3 degrees in 2030 and 3.5 degrees in 2070. There would be “increasing fre-quen cy and severity of intense rainfall events, heat waves, droughts and bush-fi res”.
The 2008 report – People, Property and Place: Impacts of Climate Change
on Human Settlements in the Western Port Region: an Integrated Assessment – stated Hastings, parts of Tyabb and Somerville near Western Port, Crib Point, Stony Point, north of Somers and Shoreham were at risk of damage from rising seas.
It stated temperature rises would place greater stress on elderly people and those living in homes with inade-quate insulation. A greater demand for air-conditioning would place stress on the power grid, resulting in more fre-quent and longer electricity blackouts.
The greenhouse alliance changed its name to South East Councils Climate Change Alliance in 2009 when Baw Baw, Kingston and Bayside councils joined. Frankston Council left this year and Greater Dandenong joined.

A ROSE garden was the setting for lessons in the intricate art of decorating hats.
Milliner Felicity Northeast showed some of the secrets of her art last month to 15 women in Mornington Botanical Rose Garden at Civic Reserve.
The workshop was hosted by the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, which is closed for an upgrade of its air-conditioning system.
Gallery director Jane Alexander said workshop participants were given a millinery kit “and a bag of beautiful silks and feathers to practice the tricks of the trade and get their creation under way”.
“Felicity Northeast fi rst explained and demonstrated the fi ne art of shaping rose petals so they appeared to have just been gathered from
the garden,” Ms Alexander said.“The students cut petals to make up fl owers
– some fl owers a myriad of soft pastels, others bold reds and striking oranges. The fi nal creations were added to headbands and headpieces, others made into brooches and some simply wrapped in tissue ready to be revealed on a very special occasion.”
Coming events run by the gallery include Young At Art on 12 November, a trivia night on 14 November and an excursion to McCrae Homestead on 25 November.
The gallery reopens 14 December with the exhibition Sea of dreams: Port Phillip Bay 1915-2013 (part two).

MORNINGTON Peninsula library users can enjoy enhanced online services following the launch of a new website this month.
The shire’s Our Library’s homepage remains at the same address (ourlibrary.mornpen.vic.gov.au) but a new design and upgraded features make it easier to book items, access information and download eBooks or eTalking books.
New features allow users to see book covers for most titles on the catalogue, post book reviews or comments, recommend books or get recommendations on titles.
The website uses responsive design that automatically adapts the website layout to best fi t the type of device being used.
The website forms part of a strategy that also incorporates the importance of cyber safety in an era where a rapid growth of technology has changed the way in which our community communicates.
The mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, said libraries offer much more to the community than just books.
“The use of free library digital services has become more and more popular,” she said.
“The library service provides more than books. It offers eBooks, magazines, DVDs, WiFi and computer access.
It has fast become a meeting place for all generations and the new website allows even greater access and features for library lovers.”
Brave new world for library users
Book marked: Library mascot RUD2 (Are you digital too?) checks out the new website with library technology coordinator Victoria Mathews and the shire’s libraries, arts and culture manager Geoff Carson.

By Cameron McCulloughTHE weather was terrible– low cloud and driving rain. Marc Perdu and Christian Tiriault, pilots of Spirit of Nouméa, discussed turning back to Adelaide, but they had an appointment to keep. Besides, anyone willing to circumnavi-gate Australia in a tiny plane isn’t lacking in a sense of adventure.
This wasn’t the fi rst expedition undertaken by the New Caledonian men. In 2011, they fl ew from Paris to Nouméa and in 2012 fl ew the same route in reverse. This year, it was Australia, with an expedition from Nouméa, counter-clockwise around Australia, and then back home again.
“We had clear and sunny weather all the journy so far” said pilot Perdu, a surgeon by trade. “But today’s conditions were diffi cult. As luck would have it, this event was the only scheduled one planned for our trip, so we didn’t
want to miss it.”Under the cover of a hangar at Tyabb Aero
Club, they were treated to wine and cheese as they discussed their adventure with fellow pilots. Their plane sits in the hangar and is ad-mired not because it is large but for the opposite reason. The Dynamic the men pilot is described as a “light sports plane” and seems a bad choice of vehicle for long distance fl ying.
“We can fl y 1500 kilometres, or eight hours on one tank, but it is a small plane” Perdu said.
The men had a tour of the Old Aeroplane Company before staying the night in Tyabb. Then it was off to Melbourne, Tasmania and then up the east coast.
Why do it?“We want to spread the word about New Cal-
edionia, but also accumulate knowledge we can take back home to the kids in schools.”

Red Cross unit’s successRed Cross unit’s successIT may have few members, but the infl uence of Sorrento/Portsea/Rye Red Cross unit is large.
In the past year the 55-member unit has raised $28,000 for Red Cross through a variety of ways including a golf day at Portsea Golf Club, a card day a Sorrento Golf Club and functions at Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron and Rye Hotel.
The unit meets at 2pm on the second Thursday of the month at Sorrento Elderly Citizens rooms, Old Melbourne Rd, Sorrento.
For information about joining the unit, call Coralyn Wickham on 5988 0880 or Kaye Hafey on 59 84 1672.
ABALONE afi cionados can legally harvest their favourite shellfi sh from reefs in Port Phillip and Western Port for 61 days over the coming season.
Most of the open days fall on weekends or public holidays, including 12 days in a row over the Christmas break.
The daily recreational bag limit is fi ve abalone of which no more than two can be greenlips.
Greenlip abalone cannot be taken at any time in Port Phillip.
Divers can only take abalone between sunrise and sunset and must use a blunt instrument with rounded edges to harvest them.
The fi rst two days of the season are 16 and 17 November, also the start of the recreational rock lobster season.
Fisheries Victoria executive director Ross McGowan said the number of open days had been increased by one day, 60 to 61, “to ensure a continuous recreational open season that included all public holidays”.
“Most of the open days are on weekends and public holidays. Recreational fi shers have 12 consecutive days over Christmas and four days over Easter on which they can harvest abalone from central Victorian waters,” Mr McGowan said.
Anyone collecting abalone must also carry a measuring device when in the water to ensure
Season opens for abaloneSeason opens for abalonethe catch meets minimum size regulations.
Abalone must be measured before being removed from their original location.
It is illegal to take abalone from the intertidal zone, or waters less than two metres deep.
The nominated open days printed on a water-resistant pocket card as well as yellow plastic abalone measuring devices are available free by calling the Department of Environment and Primary Industries on 136 186.

JOHN Bloggs’ life was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
He was left feeling “lost” and unsure of the future after the cancer was removed and he was in remis-sion.
On the advice of a dietician, Mr Bloggs joined fi ve other participants in a seven-week cancer rehabilita-tion program run by Peninsula Health.
The program aims to improve quality of life, in particular the physical function, fatigue, stress or anxiety and diet of cancer survivors.
It includes exercise, education settings and self-management strategies.
“After I had received my treatment I felt cut off. It
was more of a mental feeling than a physical one,” Mr Bloggs said.
“I knew I could exercise but I needed the strength of mind to help me push through it. The rehab pro-gram helped me to do this.
“It gave us the chance to become experts in our own disease. I needed to take control of the illness.”
Mr Bloggs said he and the other participants “learned about ourselves and became accepting”.
“I felt I recovered quickly after I embraced the program. I got my independence back, I felt more connected, I continued my yoga and meditation – something I did before I was diagnosed with cancer and, most importantly, I learnt to not overdo it.”
Cancer rehabilitation coordinator Anita Lloyd said most people completing the program felt motivated, paced themselves and managed fatigue.
“They coped better with stress, gained confi dence to exercise regularly and ate better than when they started the program.
“The program showed us that many concerns cancer survivors had at the start of the program were addressed effectively and they continued to use the strategies, combined with regular exercise.”
The cancer rehabilitation program runs in Rose-bud on Tuesdays and Fridays and in Frankston on Wednesdays and Fridays.
For details, call 1300 665 781.
Life-changing program for cancer patientsLife-changing program for cancer patientsSurvival program: John Bloggs joined a rehabilitation program as part of his recovery from the effects of cancer treatment.
PAINTINGS, carvings and ceramics by indigenous artists are being exhibited and sold to raise money for Aboriginal students and elders to participate in Woodleigh School’s exchange program.
The program enables Aboriginal students and Woodleigh students to experience a different way of life but it is under threat because of funding cuts by the Northern Territory government.
The program has for the past fi ve years provided two-way learning for Aboriginal students from Ampilatwatja, in the central eastern deserts of the NT, and Miwatj communities of northeast Arnhem Land.
The exhibition will be at the Langwarrin South school 15-17 November. Money raised from the exhibition goes toward travel and accommodation expenses of Aboriginal students coming to the Mornington Peninsula.
The exhibition includes more than 50 works from the Miwatj and Ampilatwatja communities provided by 20 arts centres of the Western, Central, Eastern deserts, Utopia, the APY lands, Canning Stock Route, the Kimberley, Queensland and Arnhem Land. Susan and Emily McCulloch will conduct curators’ fl oor talks during the weekend.

By Chris BrennanTRAFFIC was brought to a standstill as record-breaking crowds descended on Australia’s largest navy training establishment, HMAS Cerberus, for its biennial open day.
More than 15,000 visitors fl ocked through the gates at Cerberus last Sunday week, well up on the5000-7000 guests the previous open day.
“Traffi c was extreme from both entry points to the base and we thank residents in the wider Crib Point area for their patience throughout the day,”
a navy spokesperson said.Visitors enjoyed a wide range of
activities including demonstrations by navy and army aviation squadrons, RAAF working dogs, navy clearance divers, army heavy and combat vehicles and RAAF and army communications specialists as well as performances by the Royal Australian Navy Band and the time-honoured ceremonial sunset parade.
Cerberus commanding offi cer Captain Katherine Richards said the open day provided an ideal opportunity for members of the public
to gain an insight into life in the military.
“The open day is a great opportunity for members of the public to see the range of training we offer and chat with offi cers and sailors about naval life,” Captain Richards said.
St Joseph’s pupils got an early taste of the action when a navy Seahawk helicopter touched down last Wednesday.
Pupils had the chance to chat with pilot Lieutenant Jordan Taylor, who attended Balnarring Primary School and Flinders Christian Community
College before joining the navy as a direct entry pilot in 2004.
The lieutenant told pupils of his experiences in the United States where he was predominately employed for search and rescue and natural disaster response as well as a secondary role targeting migrant and narcotic smuggling operations into south Texas.
He was awarded a US Coast Guard commendation medal for a rescue conducted during Hurricane Ike.
Cerberus is one of the largest employers on the Mornington
Peninsula, with a staff of about 800. About 4000 navy, army and air force personnel are trained there each year, with an average of 1500 trainees on board at any one time.
The busy base covers an area of 1517 hectares and is a small town in its own right, with its own postcode, hospital, schools, churches, recreation and retail facilities and residences.
The base has rich history dating back to 1911 when it was fi rst known as Flinders Naval Depot. It has training and recreation facilities, two chapels and a small marina.

Southern Peninsula News 5 November 2013 PAGE 27
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 November 1913.MR Hanton’s motorboat, which broke away from the wharf at Frankston about a month ago, during a severe storm, has been found at Hampden.
***SIR John Madden has again suffered rather severe loss through the worry-ing of his valuable sheep by dogs, and it has been found necessary to shoot several wandering canine mutton experts found on the property. Surely some steps could be taken to abate the nuisance, as several other sheep breeders in the district have also suf-fered lately.
***MR James Henry McComb, C.E., shire secretary and engineer at Lilydale, died in a private hospital in Melbourne on Sunday afternoon. Mr McComb, who was 61 years of age, discharged his duties as usual at the meeting of Lilydale shire council on Monday last, but on Thursday he be-came suddenly ill, and a local doctor ordered his immediate removal to a private hospital in the city. An opera-tion for appendicitis was performed on Friday, but death ensued on Sunday afternoon. Deceased had held the position of secretary and engineer to Lilydale shire for about 16 years, and in addition to a similar position in the local water trust he was secretary to the Lilydale to Warburton Railway Construction Trust during the most troublous era of its existence. He was also a local preacher and an offi cer in the Lilydale Methodist Church, and by all sections of the community he was held in high esteem. He leaves
a widow and a family of six daugh-ters and one son, most of whom are grown up.
***MR C. Grice, of Frankston, rode four winners at a picnic race meeting at Corowa last week.
***MR S. S. Price, dentist, has notifi ed us that, owing to a rush of business at his city rooms, he has been unable to visit Frankston during the last three weeks, but he will be in attendance at Nurse Jackson’s on Sunday, Novem-ber 16.
***MR Andrew Male has sold his brick villa, in Main Street, Mornington, to Mr Blair, and the latter has disposed of the residence in Barkley Street to Mr R. Ford, at satisfactory prices.
***THIS (Saturday) evening, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, the last of the series of socials in connection with St. Paul’s Church will be held. A good programme has been prepared, and an enjoyable evening is assured.
***A TEAM of gentlemen tennis players from Mornington visited Frankston on Saturday last to try conclusions with the locals. The weather was beautifully fi ne, and after an inter-esting afternoon’s play, Frankston proved victorious. A dainty afternoon tea was provided by the local ladies, and was much appreciated.
***ON Wednesday last, 5th inst., Mr Walter Male, son of Cr Male, of Mornington, was united in the bonds of matrimony with Miss Katie Thorne, second daughter of Mr and
Mrs James Thorne, of Green Island. ***
SIR John Madden has again suffered rather severe loss through the worry-ing of his valuable sheep by dogs, and it has been found necessary to shoot several wandering canine mutton experts found on the property. Surely some steps could be taken to abate the nuisance, as several other sheep breeders in the district have also suf-fered lately.
***THE monthly committee meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute, was held on Monday evening last, 3rd November, the principal business being in connection with the proposed additions. The committee at the previ-ous meeting decided to issue deben-tures to cover the cost of the building, which embraces a members’ library room, a public reading room, and a large entrance hall. The vice-presi-dent, Mr A. E. Bates, at the request of
the committee, undertook to distribute the debentures, and reported at the meeting on the 3rd inst., that the full amount had been disposed of, princi-pally to local residents.
***MISS Queenie Young returned to Frankston on Thursday after an extended holiday in Tasmania. On the eve of her departure from Stanley, a pleasant social evening was tendered her.
***WE are pleased to state that the Rev R. Jackson, who has been laid aside for a fortnight with a severe cold, is now convalescent, and able to resume his duties.
***“NOTHING doing,” is the answer ob-tained from residents of Frankston in reply to inquiries as to what is being done re the annual Frankston show. Surely it is time a move was being made to get the preliminary arrange-ments under way.
***WE have received a letter signed “Fairness,” Somerville, complaining that the Frankston Choral Society has not published balance sheets of their concerts held at Somerville and Frankston, and stating that they ought to do so, in justice to those who sup-port the society.
***MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly market at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer a good yarding of cattle, pigs, and sundries. The same fi rm will also of-fer for sale, at Frankston, on Saturday, 22nd inst., a camper’s complete outfi t, consisting of tents, furniture, and a lot
of sundries. ***
A LARGE number of visitors took advantage of the Sunday train service to Mornington, which started last Sunday, and from appearances it seems likely that it will be well pat-ronised during the summer months.
***THE secretary of the Frankston rifl e club (Mr C. Dalman) acknowledges with thanks the following trophies and donations:- C. G. V. Williams, Esq., president, of “Mayfi eld,’’ Toorak, is presenting his annual beautiful gold medal for competition. Mr W. Williams, vice-president, “Ru-pertetan,” Langwarrin, is presenting for competition a trophy, to be called the “Rupertstan”. Donations from H. Masterton, Esq., vice-president, Frankston, H.

***IT is with profound regret that we have to record the death of Mr Wm. Nicholls, youngest son of Mr Thos. J. Nicholls, of Frankston. The deceased, who was only 21 years of age, and a strong, healthy looking young fellow, left this district about seven months ago, and went to New South Wales, remained there six weeks, and then went to Queensland, where he died. No news has yet come to hand as to cause of death, excepting that he was operated on in the Station hospital at Bundaberg on Saturday morning last, and expired the same day. The deceased was buried on Monday.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT
By Stuart McCulloughONCE they were everywhere. High-spirited rappers roamed free across the earth, bringing joy into the lives of others through their ability to bust a rhyme. But almost without warning they were gone. Whether they were wiped out by an asteroid or a sudden change in temperature, I couldn’t say. One day, they dominated the airwaves with pulsating beats and exhilarating lyrics. The next they were silenced by a chronic infestation of boy bands and Celine Dion. It was no longer enough for a rapper to be funny – you had to be shocking in order to drag attention away from all the pre-fabricated pop artists who rolled off the assembly line. The era of the friendly rap artist was over.
I love rap music, particularly the early stuff. It was welcome reprieve from the airbrushed arena rock of the era. Back in the eighties, rock music mostly meant men with long hair and make up who dressed like the world’s ugliest gymnastics team. Both the mu-sicians and the music were airbrushed past the point of recognition. Rap mu-sic, however, was raw and untamed. It hadn’t yet fallen into the clutches of the multinationals that treat music like any other commodity; as something to be packaged, traded and ultimately consumed.
Back then, rap music felt genuine. Not only did it lack the machinery associated with the music business, it lacked instruments too; relying in-stead on drum machines and samples taken from other people’s records.
Forget fi fteen-minute drum solos and song cycles. Such extravagances are surplus to requirements in the world of hip-hop. Forget, too, dazzling cos-tumes and rhinestone-encrusted jump-suits. Rappers didn’t dress like gym-nasts. They dressed like regular folks who just stepped off the street. Albeit regular folks with a lot of gold jewel-
lery and very nice sneakers. Except, of course, for Kris Kross.
Chris Kelly and Chris Smith were better known as Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac respectively. Discovered whilst rapping in a shopping mall in Atlanta in 1991, they released their debut single the following year. Sam-pling the Jacksons Five, the Ohio
Players and the Honey Drippers, Jump is three delightful minutes packed full of exuberant, dexterous rhyming that topped the charts in countries across the world including Australia. They were just twelve and thirteen years old at the time.
There was more to Kris Kross than their music. They also made a distinc-tive mark on the fashion world by wearing their clothes back to front. Sadly, this failed to catch on more broadly, except for my nephew Noah who, when he was fi ve, preferred his jeans the wrong way round because he considered the pockets at the back to be of superior quality and wanted them to ride up front. As for me though, I simply lacked the courage to go backwards.
I can’t say exactly what I was doing at the age of twelve, but I certainly wasn’t producing a world-straddling pop colossus like the boys of Kris Kross. Most likely I was spending my time trying to master the art of the necktie (it was part of the high school uniform) and pulling the perfect mono on my dragster.
In retrospect, I should have been rocking the microphone with my clothes on back to front.
The song Jump clocked in at just three minutes and seventeen seconds and their time at fame’s apex lasted only slightly longer. They sold mil-lions of copies of the single and truck-loads of the accompanying album, Totally Krossed Out, but it was all downhill from there. Isaac Newton’s Law of Diminishing Returns took ef-
fect and subsequent releases did not fare so well. Just like when the Village People gave up their kooky costumes and turned all arty and serious or the tragic day when KISS removed the makeup and the world was confronted with exactly how plug-ugly they were, a lot of the fun vanished when the duo began to wear their clothes the right way round. After a couple more al-bums they broke up in 1996.
Fame is a curious thing. It’s as elu-sive as lightning and just as dangerous.
To have achieved it so early in life must be a very strange thing. Most of us live our lives hopeful that our best days lie ahead. That’s hard to do when you achieve your fi rst and only num-ber one hit at the age of twelve. Sadly, Chris Kelly – or ‘Mac Daddy’ to his fans – passed away earlier this year. He was just 34 years old. Pop music has always devoured its young; from Frankie Lymon onwards. But despite whatever personal tragedy might be-fall those who taste fame too young, there is always the music to remind of that brief, glittering moment when the world was theirs.
Recently, I celebrated ‘rap music ap-preciation week’. I prepared a playlist stuffed full of songs by The Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash and the Fu-rious Five, RUN-DMC and the exqui-site Kurtis Blow. There was House of Pain and Young MC too. And, of course, Kris Kross. As a small trib-ute, next week I will wear my clothes backwards. A fi tting compliment to a true pioneer of hip-hop. [email protected]

A CONSORTIUM of business focused organisations including Frankston City Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Greater Frankston Business Chamber, St Kilda Football Club, Proudly Frankston, Monash University and Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board have come together to deliver major business events in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region.
The group considers it essential that major business events are held to service one of Victoria’s most important economic regions.
With enormous growth anticipated in Frankston, and the many lifestyle and tourism options on the Peninsula, these events will put the region on the map as a key business destination.
The fi rst event on 22 November is a major address by Federal Small Busi-ness Minister, Bruce Billson, who will be preceded by the AFL’s government relations manager, Phil Martin.
Channel 9’s Brodie Harper will host the business breakfast.
It is expected that over 300 business people from across the region will fi ll the Frankston Arts Centre.
The concept will be taken into 2014, with four breakfasts organised to offer keynote addresses from prominent in-dustry and government representatives. Bookings at www.businessfrankston.com.au or call 9781 1422

Beer fest taps into thirsty marketBeer fest taps into thirsty marketTHE Mornington Peninsula’s premiere event for beer lovers, Beers by the Bay, is back.
This year’s festival aims to build on the success of 2012’s inaugural festival.
Visitors can expect up to 100 different beers and ciders, lots of great food as well as an improved selection of some of the fi nest wine from the region.
Live music from some of Victoria’s fi nest acts will keep people entertained while they enjoy and learn about beer.
The peninsula’s own Kisschasy, in their fi rst show in nearly two years, will headline the bill. Also featured are Twin Beasts (formerly the Toot Toot Toots), Fauves and The Quarry Mountain Dead Rats plus other acts to be announced.
“We are excited to be able to bring the festival back for a second year,” event director Rod Stoller said.
“We had loads of great feedback from last year so we are looking forward to bringing an even bigger and better festival for 2013.
“Several additions have been made for this year. Most notably this year’s festival will be a family-friendly event, with a designated children’s area featuring kids rides, face painting and other amusements.
“There will be several new breweries, a larger focus on wine, lots of new food stalls and a renewed focus on all things beer.”
The one- day festival is at Mornington Racecourse, Racecourse Rd, on Saturday 16 November.
Tickets are on sale at www.beersbythebay.com.au

SUPPORTING ROTARY
Shutterbugs Photo CompetitionThe Rotary Club of Sorrento 2nd Annual Shut-terbugs Beach Boats and Bays competition is one of many projects organised by our Rotary club members to embrace the community of the Mornington Peninsula. The competition, Beach Boats and Bays, is a project designed for school children who have an interest in photography. The competition runs from 5th October until 12th December 2013 - a fun edu-cational opportunity for children to showcase their skills in this highly popular art form.
Great prizes for the most outstanding entrants in each category and a Rotary Club of Sorrento Encouragement Award will be awarded.
The photographs will be displayed at the 30th Annual Rotary Club of Sorrento Art Show, Sorrento Community Centre, Sorrento, from 11th-18th January 2014. The inaugural event last year saw over 140 entrants which were of a very high standard from age groups- 5-9 , 10-14 and 15-18 year old students from schools all over the peninsula.
The judge is a well-known peninsula photographer Yanni. Entry forms are available all over the peninsula, in cafes, milk bars, shops, cinemas, and Sorrento Community Centre. Selected collection points are indicated on the entry form.
3RPP community radio has been a strong supporter of Rotary activities on the peninsula for many years and warrant particular recognition. Also the Rotary Club of Sorrento appreciates the ongoing support of Searoad Ferries, 3AW/Magic1278, Sorrento Community Centre, Peninsula Surf and Trigger Bros for this competition.

October is Vocation Month in the Rotary calendar world wide.In recognition of this, the Rotary Club of Dromana conducted an Awards Night, for twelve recipients of the Pride of Workmanship Awards. This is in recognition to the signi cant contribution that they made in their place of work, or with a community group.They were joined by their families, friends and nominators for the presentations and to enjoy nger food and drinks. They exchanged stories about their various professions and trades – a distinction that is surely anachronistic in today’s world.Whilst not going into each individual citation given by the nominator, the following words, cropped up regularly for many Awardees: team player, polite, commitment, people skills, positive, punctual, excellent phone manner, productive, caring & compassionate, assists workmates, nothing is a problem,
happy, tidy workplace, community minded, good customer service, organises social events, craftsmanship, engineering skills, goes the extra yard, motivated, high ethical standards, instantly addresses problems.No doubt many other accolades could be offered, for this very ne group of young people.The worthy recipients and their sponsors were:Chris Dykes – nominated by Steve Jeffrey, Dromana Roadworthy & Service CentreJames Bendle – nominated by Richard Bendle, Daytona Sports Cars, in DromanaJohn Hebbelthwaite – nominated by Richard Bendle, Daytona Sports Cars, in DromanaJoanne Tyrrell – nominated by Val Jarman, Dromana Sea Scouts

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyREIGNING MPCA Provincial cham-pions Peninsula Old Boys are in some early season strife after their third straight loss this season.
The Old Boys are currently in last position on the ladder and look certain to miss the fi nals, given the talent of the sides holding the top six positions on the table.
The champions have taken just 15 wickets in their three games, clearly highlighting a defi ciency at the club.
Runs against are also a concern, leaking the third most runs (689) this season behind Rye (734) and Moo-rooduc (701).
On Saturday, the Old Boys were humiliated by Sorrento, the side they beat in last year’s Grand Final.
Set 254 for victory, the Old Boys were bundled out for just 129.
The Old Boys may have been ‘lippy’ in the grand fi nal last season, but they were sent packing from their home ground with their tails between their legs on the weekend.
Unlike Peninsula Old Boys, new kids on the block Langwarrin made light work of Rye and as a result sits on top of the Provincial table.
The Kangas set the Demons the mas-sive task of scoring 308 for victory, however, as expected, they were lucky to get half way.
The home side was bowled out for 153 in the chase.
18-year-old left arm quick and First XI debutant Matt Davie, the son of Alan, was electric early, removing both openers and fi nishing with the tidy fi g-ures of 3/26.
Dwayne Doig wasn’t needed as much as usual but still managed to snare 2/31, while opening batsmen Mark Cooper and Taylor Smith both picked up a wicket also.
Mornington star all-rounders Luke Popov and Matt Harper were sig-nifi cant in their side’s 65-run victory against Mt Eliza.
Popov picked-up 4/48 and Harper 3/47 for the Doggies, who are current-ly undefeated and in second position on the ladder.
The Mounties’ top order failed to fi re, except for Ben Tracy with 43, leaving the bulk of the scoring to the middle order and tail.
Tristan Faithful was the best of the Mt Eliza batsman with 56, but was forced to retire hurt.
Sam Creffi eld offered some resist-ance at the end with 28.
The match between Long Island and Crib Point went down to the wire, the Islanders getting home by just two runs.
After making 205 in week one of the match, the Magpies had the Islanders on the ropes at 8/158.
However, Jake Middleton (36) and Zac Clements (21), batting at nine and 10, ensured that the Islanders got over the line in a thriller.
The Magpies’ Luke Herrington picked-up four wickets, including those of Paul Hartle (11) and Scott Phillips (16).
Glen Barclay also helped himself to four wickets.
Baxter did what was expected and got the job done against Moorooduc.
Set 288 for victory, the Ducs were never in the hunt, losing their fi rst three wickets for 25.
Keeper Nick Williams was the shin-ing light in what was a bleak day for the Ducs, top scoring with 52.
Dale Irving was superb for Baxter with 5/79 from 18 overs, while Adrian Mack made it nine wickets in three matches with 4/33 off 17 overs.
Mack is in devastating form at the moment.
Heatherhill’s 174 last week didn’t look like enough to beat Mt Martha, however it proved to be 60-odd runs more than what they needed to get the points.
The Hills bowled out the Reds for just 106.
Matty Meagher was the star with 5/28 off 22 overs.
Meagher has taken 11 wickets in three matches this season.
Opening partner Daniel Woods snared 2/20 from 16.5 overs.

DISTRICTBy IT GullySEAFORD and Ballam Park remain winless in MPCA District cricket after the opening three rounds of the season.
The Knights were relegated from Provincial last season and haven’t fared much better in the lesser grade, while Seaford has not been able to re-cover from the player losses it experi-enced in the off-season.
At the other end of the table, Somer-ville, Delacombe Park and Pines all remain undefeated.
Carrum and Hastings both have two wins from three matches and fi ve sides have notched up one win each.
Main Ridge and Flinders played a one-day match on Saturday after a rain-affected day one.
It was a vital game for the Ridge, who came into the clash without a win.
They restricted Flinders to 7/153 from 40 overs, Jason Albress the best with the ball, taking 2/31 from 10 overs.
Louis Gillies was the chief run scorer for Flinders with an unbeaten 54, while Tim Clarke opened with 30.
In the chase, Michael Holmes got his side away to a fl ier with 52, while Ga-reth Wyatt made sure of the win with 35.
The Ridge got the runs with seven overs to spare.
Charlie Gillies was the best of the Flinders’ bowlers with 2/27 from seven overs.
Last year’s runner-up, Somerville, sits on top of the ladder after smashing Ballam Park.
Aaron Kaddatz tore through the Knights’ batting line-up, fi nishing with 5/18, while Keith Burdett had a trundle and picked-up 2/14.
Former Langwarrin Third XI player Zac Pedderson proved he has what it takes to play at the higher level, top scoring for the Knights with an un-beaten 41.
Delacombe Park made light work of Boneo, belting them by more than 150 runs.
Resuming with the bat after bowl-ing out Boneo for 115 in week one of the match, the Parkers lost a couple of quick wickets before Jon Guthrie and Nick Christides steadied the ship.
Guthrie made 92 while ‘Chikko’ fi nished on 91. Ben Brittain had some valuable time in the middle, scoring 28 and Simon Dignan fi nished not out on 18.
The Parkers ended at 6/274 off its 85 overs.
Carrum and Seaford Tigers played out the closest two-day game of the round.
Carrum made 8/186 in week one of the clash and were able to bowl out the Tigers for 179 in the 60th over.
After losing Gavin Gardiner-Smith early, the Tigers got their innings back on track through Gavin Whyte (32) and Mark Carroll (19).
However, the Tigers found trouble again, losing three quick wickets be-fore Dave James (30) and Ash Mills (68) provided a glimmer of hope for Seaford.
Jeremy Graves was simply superb for Carrum, picking up 7/52, while Matt Ryan snared two very timely wickets when the game appeared lost, fi rst getting Mills and then clos-ing down the innings, leaving the Ti-gers eight runs short of victory.
Hastings thrashed Seaford, win-ning by 90-odd runs.
The Blues made a more than com-petitive 188 last week and followed
up being superb with the ball, bowl-ing out the opposition for just 91.
Ben King, Tim Birch and Luke Hewitt all picked up two wickets each for Hastings. King snared 2/0.
Ryan McQueen was the best of the Seaford batsmen, scoring more than half of the team’s runs with 56.
Pines was poor with the bat in week one of the match against Baden Powell, scoring just 153.
It proved to be enough runs to notch-up yet another win though af-ter bowling out the Braves for just 105.
The Piners shared around the wick-ets, Ricky Ramsdale claiming three, Brett Hudgson helping himself to three and Pat Jackson and Brett Remy picking up a couple each.
Elia Carter and Sam Mullavey were the best of the Braves’ batsmen with 28 runs each.
Tigers, Knights still searching for first winTigers, Knights still searching for first winThrashing: Hastings made fantastic use of the ball to bowl out Seaford for just 91 runs on the way to an impressive District win over Seaford Tigers. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyRED Hill sits on top of the MPCA Sub District ladder with three wins from three matches.
Rosebud, Carrum Downs, Tyabb and Bal-narring all have two wins while Dromana is the only side not to have registered a win this season.
On Saturday, Red Hill somehow defended its 110 against Tootgarook at the Red Hill Showgrounds.
At one stage, the Tooters were 5/6.Klint James (16) and Travis French (25) of-
fered a little bit of resistance before they lost their last fi ve wickets for 21 runs.
Tootgarook was all out for 68.Simon Dart, Glenn Collett and Brent Mar-
tin all picked up three wickets, while James McCall took 1/4 from 3.1 overs.
Red Hill had another bat and performed shockingly again, scoring just 115 in 56 overs.
Balnarring successfully defended its 98 against Dromana.
The Hoppers were bowled out for 87 with Jacob Cook claiming 4/37 and Mitchell Skvor 3/10 from 13 overs.
In their second dig, Balnarring batted for 48 overs and made 4/177, Tom Hilet top scoring with 43.
Rosebud got the win against Tyabb.Chasing 142 for victory, the Buds resumed

they were able to cruise to victory. They were eventually bowled out for 202.
Sam Holland-Burch was the best of the Yabbies’ bowlers with 4/37 from 11 overs.
Frankston YCW enjoyed a rare win, beating Pearcedale by 20 runs.
Chasing just 97 for victory, the Stonecats looked shaky all the way through their in-nings, but managed to make 113 in 57 overs.
Shayne Gillings was the pick of the Pan-thers’ bowlers with 5/39, while Kaine Smith snared 3/21.
In the fi nal match of the round, Carrum Downs cruised to victory against Skye in a one-day match.
Skye batted fi rst and made 9/123 in its 40 overs. Patrick Beckham top scored for Skye with 32, while Steven Worker took 3/20 for the Cougars.
The Cougars then got the runs with fi ve overs to spare, thanks largely to the innings of Shane Walford (46) and Josh Spittal (38).

Rosebud Community Bank opening - 29th October 2013
Experienced banker takes the reins at Rosebud
Bronwyn heads back home as manager of Rye branch
JULIE Nolo has been part of the southern peninsula community bank story from the beginning.
Starting in 2001, Julie’s fi rst role was as Gary Sanford’s assistant, where she witnessed the impressing growth and strength of the commu-nity bank concept.
“It was unique and exciting, and something I was very glad to be a part of,” said Julie.
She became the manager of the Rye branch in 2007 after the opening of Dromana, and has managed Rye until this year.
On the opening of the new Rose-bud branch, Julie will be moving there.
“Everyone was looking forward to the opening of Rosebud. I know it will be a great success.”
Such things do not happen over-night, and much planning has gone into the new branch.
“Rosebud has been in the planning for three to four years,” said Julie.
“It is such an incredible effort by so many people, just to get the doors open. It will be a great relief to get started on what we do best.”
Julie’s approach to banking is sim-ple. “We provide people with the best service. People then refer others, and that is how we grow.”
“I am looking forward to getting out into the community and telling our
wonderful story.”Julie is no stranger to many of the
people in Rosebud. She raised her family on the southern peninsula, and has dealt with many of the com-munity groups and sporting clubs in Rosebud through the Rye branch.
“I’m looking forward to catching up with the many people I already know in Rosebud, and meeting lots of new ones. Make sure you come in and say hi!”
BRONWYN Ralph started her com-munity banking career as a teller in the Rye branch in 2003.
In 2007 when Dromana branch opened she moved upstairs to become Gary Sanford’s personal assistant. Following two years in this position in 2009-2010 Bronwyn was appointed manager of the Dromana branch.
Now with the opening of Rosebud, she is heading back to where it all began for her, as manager at Rye.
“Of course, it is wonderful for me. We live in Rye. My kids go to school there, and play there sport there, so it really is a great fi t,” said Bronwyn.
“I spent four years working in Rye before moving to Dromana. There are lots of familiar faces there.”
Bronwyn is looking forward to the move for more reasons that just be-ing closer to home.
“It is a much bigger branch, with about double the business and cus-tomers than Dromana, so it will be a great personal challenge for me,” said Bronwyn.
“Also, I have huge shoes to fi ll replacing Julie in that branch. Having been in Rye for 12 years, she was re-ally tuned into the local community.”
Bronwyn wants everybody to know it is business as usual in Rye.
“There will still be the same familiar faces. Our customers will still come
in and receive the high level of cus-tomer service on a day-to-day basis, which is very important.”
Bronwyn is well equipped to look after all your banking needs, both business and personal.
“I am here to help, so am looking forward to meeting new people and reacquainting myself with those I dealt with in the past.”
