CROSSWORD


Mornington Peninsula Shire, in conjunction with the Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board, is excited to have launched a new initiative to help connect the tourism industry with people seeking employment on the peninsula.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor Bev Colomb said the Shire looks forward to working with the Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board to promote such a rewarding career path.

“This campaign aims to encourage and build understanding for school leavers, job seekers, existing skilled workers and professionals to consider the peninsula tourism industry as a career choice.

“We have ambassador videos that will inspire job seekers far and wide. These videos will be available on an interactive website alongside other supporting information. The page will give people more insight into career options and

lifestyle choices within the industry,” said Councillor Colomb.

Executive Chair of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board, Tracey Cooper said the Shire and the Regional Tourism Board are working with the local industry to further encourage and promote how people can have a satisfying career within the tourism industry.

“The peninsula’s tourism industry is extremely strong. In fact, it’s one of the healthiest tourism industries within all of Victoria.

“Despite this, tourism businesses face a genuine issue with attracting and retaining employees,” said Ms Cooper.

Alongside the website, job seekers can also stay updated with a dedicated Facebook page showcasing how joining the tourism industry is a great choice for a reliable, secure and rewarding career.

Those who visit the website and Facebook page can look forward to viewing

the diverse range of career paths available at the peninsula, learn about available training opportunities and watch videos from our ambassadors sharing their career experiences.

This exciting project has been developed in partnership with Mornington

Peninsula Shire, the Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board and sponsored by Chisholm Institute.

A fellow walked into a bank in New York City

asking for a loan for $4000 dollars. “Well, before

we lend you the money we are going to need

some kind of security” the bank teller said. “No

problem” the man responded here are the keys

to my car “you’ll see it, it’s a black Porsche

parked in the back of the parking lot.”

A few weeks later the man returned to pay off

his loan. While he was paying it up, along with

the interest of $11 dollars, the manager came

over, “sir, we are very happy to have your

business, but if you don’t mind me asking, after

you left we looked into you and found out that

you are a millionaire, why would you need to

borrow $4000 dollars?”

“Well, the fellow responded it’s quite simple,

‘All abilities’ come and try sports day Mornington Peninsula

Shire is celebrating International Day of People with Disability by holding a ‘come and try’ free sports day at the Civic Reserve in Mornington on Wednesday 7 December from 10am – 1pm.

International Day of People with Disability is sanctioned by the United Nations and aims to increase public awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability. This year’s theme is ‘Inclusion matters; access and empowerment for people of all abilities’.

Making the most of the facilities at the Shire’s Civic Reserve, there will be a range of free, fully

accessible activities on offer including tennis, gymnastics, soccer, netball, footy, dance, table tennis and SWISH (blind table tennis).

A free sausage sizzle will be provided and cafeteria food will be available for purchase.

There will also be a Marveloo on site for the day – a portable fully accessible toilet with an adjustable change table and hoist. This will be available for use, but is also part of a campaign by the Shire’s All Abilities Consultative Committee to see permanent ‘Changing Places’ style toilets located on the peninsula.

A mini-expo on the day will see disability-inclusive

recreation groups promoting their activities.

Bookings can be made online via mornpen.vic.gov.au/allabilitiesday, [email protected] or 5950 1099.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is partnering with Special Olympics Victoria, SEDA, AFL Victoria,

Cricket Victoria, Karingal, Focus, and SCOPE and is supported by MYC gymnastics, Elite Tennis Academy and the Mornington Peninsula Table Tennis Association.

Emerging and established artists, writers, musicians and creatives are invited to apply for Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Police Point Artist in Residency (AiR).

The AiR program provides an opportunity for artists to work in a new environment, often away from the restrictions and pressures of their everyday lives.

Artist residencies are about providing the time and space for a guest artist to develop work and creatively explore new ideas.

The program is based at the historic Gatekeeper’s Cottage at Police Point Shire Park, Portsea.

The cottage was initially

built for the quarantine boatmen. In 1901 it became accommodation for the Gatekeeper who oversaw movement in and out of the Quarantine Station that was opened in 1852 to prevent the spread of diseases from immigrants arriving by sea.

Minor changes have been made to the building over time and an extension now forms the studio space. The entire cottage was renovated to heritage standards in recent years.

The Gatekeeper’s Cottage is a two-bedroom residence with a reading room, studio, kitchen and dining room, bathroom, vegetable boxes and back verandah with spectacular views of Port Phillip Bay.

Artists can be inspired by

this nationally significant cultural heritage site located in the traditional lands of the Boon wurrung balug, one of at least six clans of the Bunurong/Boonwurrung who were part of the Kulin Nation of Central Victoria.

Both supported and fee paying residencies are available, ranging from a minimum of two weeks to a maximum of six weeks.

In a supported residency the cottage is occupied without charge to the artist but there is a requirement to participate in agreed public programs that contribute to the cultural life of the Mornington Peninsula. Fee paying residencies are $300 per week (+GST).

To apply for residency, visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/

PolicePointArtistInResidence. This round of submissions close on Tuesday 31 January 2017.

For further information about the AiR program contact [email protected] or phone 5950 1655.

Continued from issue 80

BYRNE, VALE, and Co have received instructions from Captain Adams (who is retiring after a residence in the district of 20 years) to SELL by AUCTION, at their rooms, on Tuesday, March 20, at twelve o'clock noon,

The following valuable properties :

WANNAEUE, Near Dromana.

That valuable farm containing 191 acres, being Government lot No 19, subdivided into seven paddocks, partly laid down in English grasses, substantially fenced with post, rail, and wire, and having a bay frontage of nearly half a mile, orchard, garden, and vineyard containing 2000 vines all in full bearing, with a comfortable weatherboard house containing 10 rooms, out-houses, &c.; brick tank holding 4000 gallons.

Crops to be removed or taken at a valuation.

The auctioneers beg to call attention to the above property, the land being good for cultivation, well timbered, and permanent water. Inspection invited. Also, KANGERONG, Adjoining Dromana-park. Two Government allotments, being Allotment 5 of Section D and Allotment 6 of Section D, containing in all 36 acres, close to the residence of Professor Hearn..

(P.2, Argus, 20-3-1877.) * FOR SALE

CHEAP 191 ACRES of LAND,

Wannaeue, near Dromana, all fenced, divided Into six paddocks,

good grass and permanent water, beach frontage 600 fruit trees, 2000 vines, all bearing. 10 roomed house, brick, tank, stables, &c. Sold In consequence of death of Mr Adams. No reasonable offer refused. Apply Mrs. E ADAMS, Wannaeue, near Dromana. (P.12, Argus, 13-12-1881.)

A legal account in Harvey Marshall's scrapbook indicates that Robert Henry Adams sold crown allotment 19 to William Tetley in about April 1889. Tetley subdivided the area bounded by Government 3 chain road (Pt Nepean Rd), Govt. Road (PARKMORE RD,), SOUTH ROAD, and ADAMS AVENUE. Land plan No. 3513 shows section A of 29 blocks fronting the beach road and 29 blocks in section B fronting Rosemore Rd. Between Rosemore Rd and South Rd were seven blocks of about 4 acres totalling just under 29 acres. The subdivision was of about 58 acres and didn't sell well because the 1890's depression soon followed.

Like most speculators, Tetley forfeited his deposit and part payments and lost unsold land which returned to Robert Henry Adams' ownership. By 1900, Robert was assessed on 290 acres and building, more than the 271 acres that his father had occupied in 1876-7.

The captain's land had been c/a 19 plus lots 1,2,3 (the Hopetoun Guest House site of about 6 acres) and all the land, about 80 acres, between South Rd and Bayview Rd, which may have been a pre-

emptive right resulting from the presumed lease of c/a 20.

Albert Holloway left Rosebud in 1900 after a nine year residence at "Parkmore". Isabel Moresby stated in ROSEBUD FLOWER OF THE PENINSULA that he was an architect and built Parkmore in 1896.

However, it seems that he started building the grand house on the west corner of PARKMORE ROAD in 1891 and while living in the first part, continued construction until he finished it in 1896. Albert obviously gave the house (and therefore the road) its name; his later residence was given the same name as revealed in a letter to Flinders and Kangerong Shire. While searching for this letter, I DISCOVERED THAT ALBERT HAD BUILT THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND AT FLINDERS! He was described as being a Dromana resident but as pointed out earlier in this street names series, the McCrae area was known as Dromana (later Dromana West) until about 1941.

( The new Church of England building at Flinders is progressing favourably, and will soon be completed. Mr Holloway of Dromana, is the builder, and W. W. Baker C E the architect. P.2, Mornington Standard, 10-9-1891.)

On Wednesday. evening a farewell social arranged by Miss Roberts was given to Mr and Mrs Holloway for a time. The weather was anything but. favourable. yet the ;family have (sic) so

endeared themselves to the people that in spite of darkness, mud and rain the Mechanics' Institute was filled. Mr Rudduck took the chair, Miss Roberts presided at the organ, Messrs Moyle, Buchan, Green, and B. Holloway contributed songs; Mr A. Head as circuit steward thanked the family for services rendered the church; Mr M'llroy on behalf of the local preachers thanked them for the many evidences of practical sympathy shown during their nine years residence at "Parkmore" and expressed the hope that they would return to the district some day and abide for ever. (P.3, Mornington Standard, 6-9-1900.)

Method: Drain the tofu and slice into 8. This is the hardest part of the recipe because the tofu is indeed silken. Warm gently in a non stick frying pan, you won’t need oil, silken tofu is quite wet. Shave the carrot and cucumber with a peeler and divide into 8. Slice the red chilli, mint and the spring onion finely. Plate the slices of tofu, drizzle with a teaspoon of tamari per slice. Finally garnish with carrot, spring onion, pickled ginger, chilli and mint.

Standing on one leg may predict which 53-year-olds are at risk of early death

How long can you stand

on one leg? And with your eyes closed??

One in three people over 65 years of age, will have at least one fall a year, according to the UK stats.

Falls are the most common cause of injury-related death in people over 75.

How well you can balance on one leg gives us insight into your falls risk and it turns out your longevity!

If like me you are close to 53 years, but can only hold the position standing on one leg with eyes closed for less than 2 seconds then the latest research says you are three times more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who can balance for 10 seconds or more.

If you are unable to balance at all then you most likely won’t make it to

65years of age unless you have a very good excuse!

The ability to balance on one leg for more than 10 seconds with eyes closed, and to stand up and sit down in a chair 37 times in 60 seconds –or 35 times for women – makes it extremely likely that a 53-year-old will still be healthy 13 years later. Phew! I am feeling better already.

However the good news you can train and improve your predicted longevity. Standing on one leg when you clean your teeth or wait for the kettle to boil is good practice, only 3 attempts on @ leg at a time.

Ideally you want to be able to balance for 30 seconds with your eyes open and then start to practice with your eyes closed.

The average 70 year old can stand on one leg with eyes closed for only 4

seconds and I don’t think this is good enough. Be better than average, aim for awesome
