‘Safety first’ after deadly summer Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE life saving season has begun, as the weather warms up and more people head to Victorian beaches.

The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula municipalities are historically two of the worst affected by drownings each year. More people died of drowning in the Mornington Peninsula LGA than any other be-

tween 2012 and 2022. In the same timeframe Frankston ranked 11th of 79 LGAs for drowning deaths (“Young people most vulnerable to drowning” The Times 12/12/22).

Life savers began full patrol services last weekend on 11 November.

Emergency services minister Jaclyn Symes said that swimmers needed to exercise caution as beaches get busier.

“I urge anyone visiting Victoria’s beautiful waterways this summer

to put their safety first – our volunteers work hard to protect everyone around water but they need everyone to do their bit too,” Symes said.

A Royal Life Saving Society/Surf Life Saving Australia report released earlier this year revealed that 281 people nationally died from drowning between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023. In Victoria 59 people died from accidental drowning, up around 26 percent on the state’s 10-year average.

Beaches are the most common lo-

cation for drowning deaths. Around a third of national drowning deaths in the 2022/2023 year were preceded by swimming and recreation, and 26 per cent of deaths occurred in December and January. Life Saving Victoria lifesaving services general manager Liam Krige said that last summer, Victoria “experienced its highest festive drowning period in 18 years – a trend we do not want to see repeated this year”.

“We implore you to swim between

the red and yellow flags at a patrolled location wherever possible,” Krige said.

An El Niño weather pattern has been declared, with this summer expected to be hotter than usual. Last summer Life Saving Victoria members made 674 rescues, and administered first aid 11,000 times.

Lifesaving patrols will run until 25 April next year. To see a list of patrolled locations visit beachsafe.org. au.

Sculpture commission on offer WORK has begun to create a new sculpture to call Peninsula Link home.

McClelland Gallery is accepting expressions of interest for its $300,000 “Southern Way McClelland Commission”. The successful applicant will create an artwork to be installed along Peninsula Link adjacent to the Skye Road bridge near the southbound Langwarrin exit ramp.

The new sculpture will be installed in 2025. Peninsula Pearls by Manon Van Kouswijk was placed at the site in 2021.

McClelland Gallery director Lisa Byrne is encouraging artists to “think expansively and creatively as to what may be possible for the Skye Road site.”

“Don’t be swayed by what has previously been installed. Bring your own interpretation to this process.

There is no other public sculpture commission in Australia like this,”

Byrne said.

“By inviting artists to submit expressions of interest McClelland aims to deliver best practice, not requiring artists to submit full design briefs, engineering considerations, or detailed budgets. It’s the quality of the ideas and concept that counts.

McClelland will work with the winning artist and Southern Way to turn the winning EOI into a reality.”

The sculptures are rotated every four years as part of a partnership between Southern Way and McClelland Gallery. In the last month the Love Flower and Reflective Lullaby sculptures have been removed from their roadside sites to make way for new works (“Gnome no more by road” The Times 17/10/23).

Expressions of interest for the Skye Road sculpture site close on 8 December, 2023. For more information visit mcclelland.org.au/pages/publicsculpture-commissions

BAM actors win in Sydney TWO actors from Frankston’s BAM Arts have won awards for their performances in a short film.

BAM Arts is a creative arts and performance group for people with disabilities. It entered a short film into this year’s Focus On Ability Short Film Festival Awards.

At the awards night in Sydney earlier this month, actors Kimba Wall and Pheobe Nowak shared the best actor award.

Their film The Healer won best film.

The film is about a young girl who heals others by dancing. BAM Arts

CEO Lisa Murphy said she was “surprised and thrilled” to come home from Sydney with the judge’s choice awards.

“The film The Healer was made last year in our Thursday filmmaking program. The initial idea was devised collaboratively, and then they worked as a crew and team to put it together with professional lighting, sound, and filmmaking people coaching,” she said.

“The film itself is basically about loneliness, the power of dance, and connection.

“Kimba and Pheobe have been stu-

dents of BAM for five years each. They do a number of projects - dance, drama, and visual arts.”

The Focus on Ability short film festival is in its 15th year. Last year 281 finalists were selected from entrants across 19 countries.

On Saturday, 2 December BAM Arts will host an open event with arts and dance classes to mark the international day of persons with disabilities. For more information on BAM Arts visit bamarts.org.au Brodie Cowburn

FRANKSTON High School students taking part in the 2022 RACV Great Vic Bike Ride. Picture: Supplied

Young cyclists set for 550 kilometre journey A GROUP of Frankston High School students are training to tackle a 550 kilometre bike ride later this month.

The 2023 RACV Great Vic Bike Ride runs from 25 November to 3 December the ride spans from Orbost to Wonthaggi.

Frankston High School students have been taking part in the annual event since 2009. This year 29 students from years seven to ten will join three teachers and six parents on the ride.

Teacher Jason Burt helps organise the trip. He said the bike ride “poses an enormous physical and mental challenge for

the students.”

“They have to commit to months of training in preparation for the 550 kilometre event, to ensure they have the fitness required and riding etiquette to complete the ride safely. It also provides the opportunity for the students to demonstrate the school’s values of optimism, persistence, responsibility, respect and empathy,” Burt said. “By spending nine days riding and camping in a confined campsite with two to three thousand other bike riders and volunteers, students develop a greater sense of community.

They have to assume responsibility for themselves, their own belongings, setting and packing up camp, but also for the safety and well-being of others both in the school group and the community.

“Students love the opportunity to experience this camp with their friends and the social aspect is a real highlight. Each year they develop new friendships with students from other schools. The fact that there is limited access to the wonders of modern technology encourages students to interact with others and develop their social skills.”

RECEPTION hours at Victorian police stations will be cut at the end of this month.

The 24-hour reception desks at Chelsea, Cheltenham, Mordialloc, Carrum Downs, and Bayside will close at the end of this month.

The receptions at Chelsea, Carrum Downs, and Cheltenham will open for just eight hours a day, and the others will be open 16 hours a day.

Moorabbin, Frankston, and Dandenong police stations will continue operating 24-hour receptions.

In total, 43 Victoria Police stations will cut their reception hours.

Victoria Police regional operations deputy commissioner Neil Paterson said that no police stations would be closing because of the changes.

“Reception counter hour reductions will occur predominantly during the evening or overnight when we know they are rarely attended.

Even when reception counters are unstaffed, police continue to patrol the local community and often, still work within the station,” he said.

“Every Australian policing jurisdiction is currently experiencing

resourcing challenges and police counter reductions are also occurring in other states. When given the choice, police know crime is most effectively deterred and detected via highly visible patrols in the community, rather than from behind a scarcely attended reception counter.

The vast majority of people attending police stations do so during the day, most regularly to have statutory declarations signed or documents certified.

“Redirecting officers towards frontline policing duties will increase the likelihood of crime being prevented, offenders being arrested, and the community remaining safe.”

$400,000 car found A RARE $400,000 Mustang car allegedly stolen from Ferntree Gully has turned up in Carrum Downs.

Police allege the car was stolen on 11 October. On 1 November they raided a home in Carrum Downs, and seized a 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR. Police say the car at the property was wrapped in black and the spoiler had been removed.

A 37-year-old Narre Warren man was arrested on 8 November and charged with theft of motor vehicle, drive whilst disqualified, and possess drug of dependence. He was remanded to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court the following day. A 32-year-old Carrum Downs man was interviewed by police and released without charge.

Recycling scheme’s unhappy returns

Big boat blaze battled at pier

Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au THE start of the much-hyped container deposit scheme on 1 November has highlighted flaws in the program and drawn criticism from environment groups and the state opposition.

The state government financed scheme provides a 10-cent refund for returned eligible cans, cartons and bottles, and has been promoted as an important component of the recycling system and a way to cut litter.

But by the second day of the trial, some container bins on the Mornington Peninsula were too full to receive any more due to members of the public loading them up with cans they had been saving.

There have also been reports across Victoria of machines in car parks not working, and locations for drop off sites disappearing off the state website.

According to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, which does not run the scheme, there are 12 collection sites, including reverse vending machines, drop off depots and over-the-counter points across the shire.

On the peninsula, the scheme is being delivered by network operator Return-It, with unbroken cans, bottles and cartons being accepted. Glass wine bottles, milk cartons, and bottles containing cordial or concentrated fruit juice are not accepted.

There is growing concern that Victorians will turn away from the scheme unless problems are resolved quickly.

When the scheme was announced

A BOAT driver has survived a fire near Frankston Pier.

The boat caught fire near the pier at around 8.15pm on Monday, 6 November. When fire crews arrived it was completely alight.

The boat’s occupant escaped.

Crews soon brought the blaze under control.

The boat sank, and the pier sustained some minor damage. Parks Victoria has been notified.

Celtic Christmas coming

THE reverse vending machine at Sages Cottage in Baxter was full

by Thursday, two days after installation, and unable to accept more containers. Picture: Gary Sissons by the state government, environmental advocate the Boomerang Alliance said it needed to be “best scheme maximising recycling; with great convenience for consumers who want to redeem their 10 cents and a credible governance system”.

But it says the scheme is disappointing, with not enough refund points and differences in the quality and convenience of the small number of points.

The alliance says that container deposit schemes are in place in more than 40 countries or states around the world, with the best ones demonstrating a more than 95 per cent return rate.

Opposition spokesman for the envi-

ronment James Newbury said the roll out of the collection points was a massive let down for Victorians who had waited years for Labor to introduce a working container deposit scheme “only to find out the state government has stuffed it up”.

“Acknowledging the chaos, environmental advocates, including the Boomerang Alliance, have called for a delay in the scheme’s commencement as government is not ready to manage the estimated three billion eligible beverages consumed in Victoria each year,” he said.

The state government says it requires operators to establish more deposit points over the next 12 months.

Photographer finds Frankston inspiration FRANKSTON’S famous beaches and waterways have inspired a new photographic exhibition.

You, Me and the Sea: Portraits of Frankston by photographer Kristina Kraskov has opened at the Frankston Arts Centre’s Atrium Gallery.

Kraskov spent hours at beaches observing changes to the space. She said “through this process I captured our innate human desire to seek out vastness, a calling which transcends time and culture. Utilising the emotive effect of natural

light during the twilight hours, the culminating series showcases a current moment in time, those who need to seek out the ocean and those who choose to.”

Kraskov has previously won the art handlers and people’s choice awards at the National Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery of Australia. Her documentary work has been commissioned by Vice and Screen Australia.

Council creates crossing project wishlist A WISHLIST for the level crossing removal works in Mordialloc and Aspendale is being drafted by Kingston Council.

The state government is building rail over road to replace the level crossings at McDonald Street in Mordialloc and Station Street in Aspendale. It also plans to close the crossing at Bear Street in Mordialloc by 2026.

Earlier this year, Kingston Council began community consultation to shape its advocacy for the level crossing projects. It has now drafted an “urban design framework” of ideas for the state government to consider.

Council’s draft plan includes a shared user path link from Parkdale to Edithvale, public open space at Bear Street, the renewal of Pompei’s Landing, an open station layout, the consolidation of commuter car parking, amenity and access in Albert Street North, the removal and replacement of the underpass at the stabling yard, renewal of Attenborough Park, and improvements to the intersection of McDonald Street and the Nepean Highway.

Kingston mayor Hadi Saab said the initiatives would make the final project safer and more connected to the community. “We now have a very clear picture of what our community wants and along with the known non-negotiables from the LXRP around its design. This has enabled us to settle on nine key initiatives in the draft urban design framework,” he said.

“We’ve achieved positive outcomes that better reflected the needs of our local communities in Cheltenham, Mentone and Chelsea and we want that for Mordialloc and Aspendale too. We are not responsible for planning this project or its delivery, however we are speaking up to make sure we get the best possible result.

“The project will leave a design legacy for many generations and it is an imperative that history will judge this significant project as a positive for the iconic jewel that is Mordialloc.”

Consultation on the draft urban design framework closes on 20 November. For more information or to make a submission visit yourkingstonyoursay.com.au/mordi-stage2.

Ship in the light: Lulu Clifton-Evans in her studio. Picture: Supplied

Reflecting on nature FRANKSTON South artist Lulu Clifton-Evans, who runs Mornington Peninsula Painting and Drawing Group and often focuses on the peninsula in her work, has won first prize in the VAS Maritime Exhibition 2023 with her oil painting Reflections of Noumea.

“When a ship is in port it is overwhelmingly scaled in its magnificent structure to dwarf almost everything and anything in its midst. At sea however, in the vastness of the ocean, the same ship becomes something else, almost delicate, made to appear small and yet, still beautifully significant,” art judge Andrea Fleming said.

Reflections on the power of nature are a common theme in Clifton-Evans’ work.

The former journalist’s oil paintings have been described as “a meditation on the beauty of the natural world”, often featuring on the beauty of everyday life in nature and the peninsula’s surf coast.

Clifton-Evans said she is looking for more people for drawing art sessions she runs at Currawong Community Hall, Mornington - 10am to midday for short poses and 1pm to 3pm for long poses. $15 for a half day and $25 for a full day.

Drug deaths up on the peninsula Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au A MERGER between two drug and alcohol recovery services will combat drug and alcohol overdose deaths on the Mornington Peninsula, which are climbing back towards pre-pandemic levels.

Windana drug and alcohol recovery service is merging with TaskForce Community Agency, a not-for-profit with a focus on drug and alcohol misuse, youth and family services, education and employment.

Data released last Thursday (9 November) by the Victorian Coroners Court shows overdose deaths in the past decade are back to alarming levels, with 21 on the peninsula in 2013 before dropping to nine in 2019 and climbing back to 15 in 2022.

In contrast, in Frankston - traditionally a high drug overdose region – overdose deaths have fallen from 21 in 2019 to 16 in 2022.

Across the state in 2022 there was an increase in overdose deaths — with 549 in 2022 and 500 in 2021.

Last year’s figures were the highest since at least 2009, but likely the highest on record for Victoria.

Chris Christoforou, CEO of drugtesting advocate the Victorian Alcohol and Drug Association, said he was deeply concerned about a general surge in fatal overdoses in Victoria during 2022.

Christoforou said the rising number of fatal overdoses on the peninsula and many parts of Melbourne was indicative of a preventable crisis with harm reduction measures such as overdose prevention centres and drug testing urgently needed to save lives.

Frankston Times

WINDANA CEO Andrea McLeod, says a rise in drug and alcohol problems can be linked to the pandemic. Picture: Gary Sissons The City of Melbourne again had the highest number of heroin related fatal overdoses – 24 in 2022, almost twice that of Yarra (14).

“This outcome is no less than catastrophic,” Christoforou said.

The Coroners Court data also reveals that while pharmaceutical substances continue to contribute to the largest portion of fatal overdoses (just under 75 per cent), fatal overdoses

14 November 2023

involving alcohol and illegal drugs are the highest since at least 2009.

VAADA notes that there has been an upswing in the number of fatal overdoses occurring in regional Victoria, up from 101 in 2021 to 135 in 2022, with options for treatment and support lacking in regional and rural communities.

Across the state, heroin related fatal overdoses were the highest since 2000

with the drug contributing to 230 fatal overdoses – an increase of more than 33 per cent from 2021 (173 fatal overdoses).

Both methamphetamine and GHB related fatal overdoses have surpassed previous records. Methamphetamine continues to contribute to significant harms and the high death rate is a reminder of the need to invest further in treatment and other support services.

Alcohol related fatal overdose is also the highest since at least 2009 in Victoria, with 173 Victorians fatally overdosing with alcohol as a contributing factor.

“Sadly, this is not a surprise. We know, with surging alcohol consumption during the pandemic coupled with burgeoning treatment waitlists and a laissez fair approach to liquor regulation (particularly with the availability of online deliveries) that we would see alcohol related harms increase,” Christoforou said.

“This data provides yet another example of how public health reforms such as the decriminalising of public intoxication are vital to saving lives.”

Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) are drugs that, while mimicking traditional drugs, are often more harmful. In 2022, there were 46 fatal overdoses with NPS a contributing factor, up from two in 2018.

“VAADA with 77 other organisations, has called on the Victorian government to introduce drug checking as a matter of priority to reduce these harms,” Christoforou said.

International evidence indicated that up to almost 90 per cent of people discarded the substance after discovering it was hazardous from a drug checking service.

VAADA is the peak body that

represents more than 80 alcohol and other drug services across Victoria.

Windana CEO Andrea McLeod said alcohol abuse was a “societal” issue that was largely ignored but had increased since the pandemic.

McLeod said there had been an increase in substance abuse since COVID and lockdowns, and services were seeing the results of that now.

“People have been at home, not getting out, not getting the support they need and there has been a definite flow-on effect in the community,” she said. “By joining with Taskforce, we can work on this together we can provide wraparound support and compassionate care to vulnerable youth, adults and their families in this area.”

In Victoria, all deaths from suspected non-natural causes, including suspected overdoses, are required to be reported to the Coroners Court.

Suspected overdoses are recorded by the court in the Victorian overdose deaths register, which is the data source for this report.

Victorian state coroner John Cain said overdose deaths remained a “concerning public health issue and we must continue to improve access to supports, treatment and education”.

“Addressing drug-related harms requires an understanding of the complexities around access to drugs and alcohol and the drivers of use,” he said.

“Through coronial data we can contribute to this understanding – providing vital insight into ongoing and emerging drug-related harms and how best to save lives.”

Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s tale has been capturing the imagination of kids and adults alike since 1963.

Max Records (pictured) plays a disobedient youngster who creates an imaginary world populated by wild creatures that crown the lonely boy as their ruler.

Kananook development can be city’s Docklands The two buildings in question are just part of the overall plan for the city centre (“Higher height limits approved” The Times 30/10/23). There will be other tall buildings separated from each other and surrounded by vegetation like Melbourne’s Dockland.

Some Kananook CreekAssociation members stand to lose their privacy and advantages and have been fighting to stop the development.

I believe that residents of one side of Gould Street, facing the bay, want few people to use the beach at the back of their backyards because they want that part of the beach for themselves.

Those on the opposite side of Gould Street, facing the city centre, do not want the dwellers of the proposed towers to look into their backyards.

They have said Frankston Council’s plan would prevent the development of Kananook Creek as a showcase, the way the Yarra is to Melbourne. But there are tall buildings next to the Yarra at Southbank. Stonework similar to what has been done along the Yarra could be built on the banks.

In the meantime, the residents of Gould Street could improve the bank on their side of the creek, which looks untidy.

They have said that the height of the proposed buildings will divide the city. But those proposed two buildings, together with the three already in situ, will be just the start of the development of the city centre. Like the Yarra, Kananook Creek lies at the edge of the city.

They have said that the two towers will ruin the beach. Their shadows will fall away from the beach and provide shade from the summer sun along Nepean Highway.

It is necessary to populate the city centre because Frankston residents do their shopping mainly at the Bayside, Karingal and Mount Eliza shopping centres.

Paul France, Frankston South

Christian approach It is November and we have seen the running of the Melbourne Cup and Remembrance Day is coming and in the stores there are Christmas decorations and Christmas items already on sale.

The stores are starting much earlier to cash in on the Christmas season as they do when straight after Christmas they start selling Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies for the Easter festivities to make more sales and profits and the government gets more GST. At the same time there is an attack on the Lord’s Prayer being said at the beginning of meetings, such as the beginning of state and federal parliaments and council meetings, which was the case recently at Frankston Council.

If Australians do not want Christianity then there should be no Christian festivals and Christmas and Easter should be abandoned and the Easter and Christmas holidays should be scrapped without being replaced, which will add to Australia’s productivity.

We should stop the hypocrisy and decide if we want to be a Christian nation or non-Christian. nation.

Russell Morse, Karingal

Roimans did better How come the Romans, with no qualified engineers, could build roads that last 2000 years and are still going strong?

[Mornington Peninsula Shire Council] can’t even fill a pothole that lasts one day. I watched a team of four, including one woman, fill a pothole the other day. Three stood around, doing nothing. One tossed a bit of hot mix in the hole then flipped the spade over and whacked it in once and then they all drove away.

Elizabeth Drive in Rosebud is shocking. [The council] had a repair team in there last week but it left the major part of the road untouched and there are still huge dangerous potholes all over with circles painted around them. This road needs totally rebuilding from scratch. Not just a spray and patch.

Philippe Morgan, Rosebud

Cyclists take care I write to support cycling on the Mornington Peninsula as an ideal way to exercise and see this beautiful area.

However, as an older (quite a bit older than average) cyclist, I wish to ask those of you who are younger and fitter to provide some warning when you are about to pass.

To be descended on by a fit and fast-moving group of fellow cyclists can be quite disconcerting and potentially dangerous.

Wishing everyone a safe ride.

Richard Doery, Blairgowrie

Don’t look back We have just had a referendum with the ultimatum of voting Yes or No, with a resounding No vote being the end result for the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Now we find out that our dysfunctional council wants to change the ward names from the colonial era, namely 1778, to go back 60,000 years to the recognised origin of our Aboriginal people (“Indigenous names sought for shire’s 11 new wards” The News 7/11/23).

I say our people because, as far as I am concerned, we are one, and not black and white as the extremists say.

For the council to want to change the Mornington Peninsula Shire ward names is ridiculous.

Is this just a whim of fancy, what will they achieve, and at what cost to the ratepayers? Is it just for the councillors to feel good about themselves?

For goodness sake get on the same planet and concentrate on the necessities and needs of the shire instead of living in fantasy land.

David Lines, Tyabb

No was not enough Strewth, these No voters of the referendum are the pits. They won the referendum and they’re still peddling their ill-informed claptrap. Before the vote they told us the Aboriginals were going to take our land if we voted yes. The no vote won and now the Aboriginals are still going to take our land (“Lease is not title” Letters 31/10/23/23). Your correspondent is talking through his nether regions. Native title has never been or will be a threat. He is reviving the Tim Fisher “Bucket loads of entitlement” statement from way back when.

All the first Australians wanted was a fair go and they’ve been denied it. John Cain, McCrae

Help homeless, not flags Hear, hear to brilliant and eloquent words (“Council’s ‘discriminatory’ choice of flags to fly” Letters 31/10/23). I wholeheartedly agree, and with Cr Susan Bissinger who also queried the flying of these flags (“Councillor to undergo ‘development training’” The News 24/10/23).

It is time the shire removed any and all flags in excess to the four stated in the Mornington Peninsula’s charter. The council’s responsibility is wholly to ratepayers purely for local business rather than a voice for the government of the day. Otherwise, why are we paying rates?

Council is a local body funded by us, the ratepayers and, as such, councillors should definitely not be pushing a government LGBTQIA+ agenda with our rates and on our time. Coloured stripes on their flag represent MAPS, which is minor-attracted people, which I believe means pedophiles, which is a criminal offence, and most people would be opposed to have our council and our money publicly be seen to support it.

The cost of these flag poles is $40,000 each.

We have two extra at the three shire offices of Mornington, Rosebud and Hastings, which is $240,000 unnecessarily spent, wasted.

As recently reported we now have a record 200,000 homeless people of which 100,000 are in Victoria, that is 50 per cent here in our state.

This is a disgrace. What an appalling legacy after nine years of Dan Andrew’s governing.

Helping our homeless is a far better use of our rates than flagpoles and flags.

There’s no going over the rainbow in bird count ALTHOUGH counting continues and the winner won’t be announced until December, the rainbow lorikeet is leading the field when comes to being the most commonly spotted bird.

BirdLife Australia received more than 100,000 lists accounting for more than 3.6 million birds seen during last month’s week-long bird count.

Preliminary analysis of the lists, which featured more than 658 bird species showed rainbow lorikeets leading the flock with more than 420,000 sightings. The colourful parrots were ahead of noisy miners (220,000) and magpies (154,000).

“The enthusiasm with which Australians have taken to the Aussie Bird Count has been outstanding,” BirdLife Australia's national public affairs manager Sean Dooley said.

Over the past 10 years, the Aussie Bird Count had helped raise the profile of Australia’s bird

life and encouraged thousands of people around the country to connect with nature.

“In addition to being good for our mental health, bird watching is often the first step towards nature conservation. We can’t protect something if we don’t know how it is faring in the first place.”

Dooley said that with nearly one in six bird species in Australia at risk of extinction from threats such as climate change, habitat loss, fires, and invasive species, BirdLife Australia relied on data to inform priorities and insights from monitoring projects such as the count to help shape its bird conservation strategy.

The strategy aimed to halt bird extinctions by 2032 and overall bird declines by 2050.

It is hard to believe Cr Bissinger was ordered to submit to “development training”. She is doing an excellent job as a representative of her constituents. Is there a hint of misogyny here or is there another reason?

Monica Martini, Mornington

20 days at $6000.

Then they deduct such things as interest, supplies and maintenance of $107,569, one might wonder if $5000 for toilet paper might be a bit much and another $10,000 maintenance cost is a bit high.

I wonder how much personal expense has been allocated to the rental on the basis that the ATO will probably never get around to auditing? So, we end up with a loss to set against an executive salary to reduce taxes of $101,569.

When applying “proportional negative gearing” principles, only 5.5 per cent of expenses would be deductible, based on days rented out of 365 available, only $5586 of expenses would be allowed, thus a taxable amount of $414 and even more if the ATO did an audit and found all the illegitimate deductions taken.

I am guessing that would drive these “land bankers” to rent full time.

And don’t get me started on the tax breaks they get when they sell the property.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

PC is boring How I agree with the call to “cheer up” Christmas along Main Street, Mornington (“Decorate Main Street to ‘cheer up’ Christmas” Letters 7/11/23). It has become so boringly politically correct these days. Even the little main street in Korumburra is better than Mornington’s and I’m sure their budget would be a lot less than affluent Mornington.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

It’s The Eye of MacGyver

By Stuart McCullough BANG! It was one o’clock in the morning. In the midst of a storm, there was the distinct sound of something being blown around and crashing into something else. It sounded like concrete being dropped from a great height into a metal bin. And when I say ‘a great height’, I mean most likely from space. Or it sounded like that ‘Baby Shark’ song being shot from a cannon. It was the kind of sound that left you wanting to rip your ears from your own head in the hope you could make it stop.

As I lay in bed, my eyes round with shock, I reasoned that this cacophonous noise might be a once off collision and I could eventually drift off back to…bang! It was now clear that this catastrophic noise was going to keep happening all night. I did what I could to reduce the noise by inserting earplugs and then listening to music through headphones, but the sound of banging guaranteed a sleepless night.

The morning after the storm, things were messy. Debris littered the streets and trees were stripped of their leaves and branches by the wild weather.

Whilst my eyes had been wide open for most of the night, that morning they looked like road maps, reddened and smudged, as I was forced to grind through the day in a zombie-like state. I couldn’t understand why my neighbours weren’t all gathering in the street, demanding to know the source of the metallic pounding noise that must certainly have kept them up all night too.

The second night was eerily still and there was no more banging.

Whatever it was that had been making that horrific noise had clearly been tied down, thrown out or had done to it whatever needed to be done to prevent further anarchy. I was lulled into a false sense of security when, the following night, the wind and the

banging returned. This time, I decided to investigate.

It started with a look out the window. Upon doing so, I could see the gate to the neighbours yard swinging in the breeze. This, clearly, was the root cause of all the noise. I reasoned that the neighbours must be away and nipping next door and shutting the

gate could fix this whole problem.

Surely, they wouldn’t mind.

The gate opened inwards towards their backyard. In theory, all I’d have to do it walk up to it and pull it shut.

I’ve shut shuts dozens of doors and gates in my time, for the most past successfully. But, in practice, there was a problem. My neighbours were away, it seemed, and had taken certain precautions, chief among them, parking a large four-wheel drive against the gate to prevent access to the backyard. From a security point of view, it made sense, but it made getting to the gate in order to close it impossible.

By now, I’d slept once in three nights and things were getting desperate. Starting to hallucinate with fatigue, I decided to do some more reconnaissance. Using my ladder, I had a look over the back fence. It was then that the scale of my trouble became apparent.

The gate, it seemed, had been secured with an elastic spring rope that you normally associate with camping or a trailer, but the rope had snapped.

The metal latch function was too short to secure the gate. All of which meant than even if I had been able to get past the four wheel drive and reach the gate, there was no way to close it from that side. My only hope was that their holiday would be short and they hadn’t gone to Europe for a month.

But faced with a bleak, sleepless future, my survival instincts began to kick it. I would need to find a way to

secure the gate from the ‘yard’ side.

But how? I’ve never seen an episode of ‘MacGyver’ but I get the general idea. I would need to improvise using everyday household items. I immediately got to work.

All I needed was something heavy to hold the gate in place. I went to shed. Partly to see if I could find something useful, and partly to see whether there was enough room in the event I needed to relocate my bed there to get a decent night’s sleep. After dragging my mattress in, I found a large bucket and a pile of bricks. I had an idea.

I put the bricks in the bucket. Then I slowly lowered the bucket using a broom handle into the yard next door.

Then I hit the bucket with the broom until I’d positioned it behind the gate.

It held in place. That night, the wind blew but the gate stayed firmly in place. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever done.

Life doesn’t always go smoothly.

There are problems we can’t even imagine that find their way to us from time to time. But it’s comforting to know that when things go wrong, that our inner MacGyver is there to guide us through. No matter who we are, what we believe in or what life has seen fit to throw our way, I now believe there’s a little bit of MacGyver in all us, complete with a small minimullet and Gazman leather jacket, just waiting to spring into action. And with that said; now I can finally get some sleep. Goodnight. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

most satisfactory one, a large number of visitors from the outside district being noticed.

Messrs. Laging and Johnson’s Jazz orchestra supplied the music in their usual efficient manner, and Mr. D. H. Petrie controlled the M.C.s’ department with equal efficiency.

Altogether a most enjoyable evening was spent. The next dance is being eagerly looked forward to. *** Police Strike Any argument calculated to uphold the action of the ex-police in deciding upon strike measures as a means of attaining their ends, cannot carry one ounce of weight in the minds of the people.

Any, and every argument so advanced, be it painted ever so flowery, must fail miserably when put to the Ministry, with a view to having these strikers reinstated.

Grievances, without a doubt, were being borne by the force, and that being so, the men and other measures which could have been adopted to rectify things, but, like so many sheep, they were led to their doom by a decoy of the worst type: the agitator.

The police force is looked upon as an intelligent and capable arm of the law, and we suppose, possessed also of much reasoning power, therefore, when trouble arises it is their bounden duty to do their utmost to reason things out; to pacify, and if possible, heal a wound, so to speak.

Further more, these servants of the Crown, sworn in under the Oath, are something quite outside the ambit of an ordinary Trades Union, and stand upon a pinnacle by themselves.

GUTTERING

By Horizon Plumbing Pty Ltd

This being true, to the Crown’s ministers alone, belongs the right to adjust any injustices, irregularities or anomalies, occurring as they must, from time to time.

To place the mild term of strike to the recent acts of lawlessness, would be far too good, for at best the whole deplorable outburst was in reality, a rebellion, pure and simple, engineered by heretics.

It was even stated by one of these men (if such we could call him), that he would make the Chief Commissioner of Police bend at the knees.

Failure, as a natural course, followed this threat. The Lawson Government had a duty to perform, and it rose nobly to the occasion, dispelled any idea that it was spineless, and those who oft times censured, are now loudest in praise, for the Government has decided, once and for all, that the strikers are not to be reinstated, and the public cannot see any reason why they should be, for in short, these very men who – when joining the police, were bound over to serve, to the best of their ability – have made of the Oath, such a hollow mockery.

They have caused a blot which can never be erased, and if such a thing of victory had come their way through our Government backing down, then these strikers would never have known where their power ended, and every little pin– prick would have been made an excuse to strike, and strike again.

It has been a bitter experience for all concerned, and has been bought at a very high price indeed. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 14 & 16 Nov 1923

everything.

Cr. McLean said the petition was sent in on the assumption that £3,600 was to be borrowed for Coolart Road. It was not proposed to expend that amount on one mile of road, and the council understood that.

Cr. Hutchinson: We are only to borrow what the road costs. I have no doubt but that the facts were misrepresented to the ratepayers.

President: Cr. Longmuir says I am against everything. I am not against progress, but I would be lacking in my duty if I did not see that the provisions of the Act were being carried out.

Cr. Longmuir: The specifications should have been on the table during the past month.

President: Never mind the specifications, stick to the loan.

Cr. Bradbury moved that the petition be referred back to Cr. Longmuir.

Cr. McLean seconded.

Cr. Longmuir: Who is to blame for the absence of specifications.

President: The whole Council.

Cr. Longmuir: Why? President: Because we did not give instructions to our officers.

The motion was carried. *** Mr. W. C. Coxhead, the well-known poultry farmer of North Carrum, had the misfortune on Saturday to see his horse bolt, and the cart smashed. It could have been worse. Nobody was hurt – not even the horse. *** That the fire brigade’s fortnightly dances are rapidly becoming quite a popular an institution, is evidenced from the fact that on Monday night last, the attendance at the Mechanics’ was a

acres to the department, and then the department in turn, transfer to the council, who would be the committee of management.

The president said that Frankston was missing one of the greatest opportunities of its life by not pushing the High school question for all it was worth.

He would like to see a strong deputation wait on the Minister. He, as president, would be willing to assist.

(Hear, hear).

It was resolved on the motions of Crs. Gray and Mason, to ask the Minister to visit Frankston at the earliest date possible, to finalise the matter. *** AT Friday’s meeting of the council a petition presented by Cr. Longmuir and signed by 25 ratepayers of the centre riding was read, objecting to the borrowing and expenditure of such a large amount as £3,600 on Coolart Road.

The president said the petition was premature. It should not have been sent in until after publication of the notice advertising the loan.

Cr. Longmuir.—You are wrong. It is quite in order in every way.

The president read the section of the L.G. Act relating to the matter.

Cr. Longmuir: Read on and you will find that after advertising you can do nothing.

President: Show it to me in the Act Cr. Longmuir: I question whether you can refuse to take the petition.

President: I have given you my authority. Now give us yours.

Cr. Longmuir: You are very particular.

President: I want to be right, and I want the ratepayers to be right.

Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT last Friday’s meeting of the shire council a letter was read from Mr. Hanson, chief inspector of secondary schools, in reply to one from the shire secretary, relating to a telephone message.

Mr. Hanson said: “I telephoned, informing you that money for a new High School at Frankston was provided on the estimates, but I added that I had urged the Minister to reconsider the whole position of site.

This the Minister had promised to do, and a visit to Frankston would be arranged later.”

Mr. Hanson continued: I might add that my own personal view is entirely opposed to the provision of a site of three acres for a High school, as it constitutes a serious departure from the standard which has been followed by the department for many years.

The full area of ten acres for a High school is required for school purposes.

However, I do not see any objection to making the grounds, other than those on which the building is situated, available for the public during vacations, on public holidays, and at other times when they are not required by the school.

Cr. Gray said that, practically, the position now was the same as in 1921.

There was no objection to the department making use of the balance of the land as a play ground.

There should be no further delay.

The erection of the school should be proceeded with at once.

Cr. McCulloch said the difficulty could be overcome if the Lands department formally transferred the ten

Monkey, Rat and Missing Pals Tour SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A UNIQUE end-of-season trip took place recently with participants from various Australian states ranging in age from men in their 20s to octogenarians.

It was the annual Monkey, Rat and Missing Pals Tour held in Moama during Victoria Derby weekend and this year it attracted a record number of attendees, 98 in all.

The event’s origins date back more than three decades and it originally was an end-of-season getaway for members and supporters of Langwarrin soccer club.

Former Langwarrin assistant coach Neil Collyer took on the task of event organiser 13 years ago and gave the trip a makeover that has seen participant numbers surge.

“The Monkey relates to the late Steve Wallace and the Rat was the late Matt Kennedy,” Collyer said.

“It had been going for about 20 years when I took over running it and when I first started we had 32 going.

“It was basically a lot of the old boys at Langwarrin but I decided to change it to add the Missing Pals bit and I said to people it’s not just about them but also their friends and relatives.”

It’s a three-day affair that starts on a Thursday, features competitive bowls and golf tournaments the following day with separate trophies for the winners then Derby Day on the Saturday is all about punting.

“We stay at Meninya Palms which holds 110 and I’ve already booked out the whole hotel for next year,” Collyer

Record breakers: Ninety-eight attendees pictured en masse at the annual Monkey, Rat and Missing Pals Tour held over three-days in Moama.

added.

“Over the years we’ve managed to go to the same places so we’re well known at the venues.

“The Border Inn gives us our own room for our meals on Thursday night, on the Friday the golf is at Rich River and the bowls at Moama Bowls Club and the motel gives us the conference room for the trophies presentation that night.

“At the RSL we have our own separate room with big screens and TAB machines so we’re well looked after.

“I think everyone at these venues respects the fact that not once has there ever been any trouble and they welcome us back each and every year.”

Not even floods could stop last year’s tour and local businesses always contact Collyer mid-year to confirm that the tour is going ahead.

This year attendees paid $380 each which covered accommodation, show bags and activities and included in

Sudoku and crossword solutions

the deal were embroidered polos and caps, free entry to a raffle for a range of donated prizes with $1000 given to the RSL for drinks money and $25 for a meal.

There also were bottles of wine given away to those over the age of 80 and the Border Inn provided discounted drinks for anyone in the group who patronised the venue during the three-day trip.

“Since we renamed the tour and added the Missing Pals component we’ve had people from other clubs join in and we had five interstaters this year including people from Queensland,” Collyer said.

“We had 86 attend last year and we actually had 101 this year but three couldn’t make it.

“I don’t know many other clubs in Australia that have those sort of numbers for an end-of-season trip.

“A lot of the first timers said how much they enjoyed it and they want to come back next year.”

In State 4 news Chelsea has called for expressions of interest from players keen to try out for the club’s senior and reserves squads for 2024.

The Edithvale-based club recently appointed former Scottish professional, A-League and NPL coach Stuart Munro as technical director and last month hired local coaching legend Gus Macleod as senior coach.

Interested players should contact Macleod on 0402 122 077.

Chelsea currently does not have use of Edithvale Recreation Reserve but is keen to organise practice matches at away venues.

Newly promoted State 4 side Mentone held its presentation night at The Dingley Hotel last weekend.

Tyler Pollard won the Player of the Year award, Marcus Spivey was Players’ Player of the Year and Golden Boot winner while Frankie Varsamis was Young Player of the Year.

It was the fifth time Spivey has topped the scoring charts at Mentone and the big striker has attracted interest from other clubs.

Seaford United had been in contact with Spivey during last season but Mentone coach Jason Grieve is confident that his star forward won’t be moving.

“Teams have been approaching ‘Spiv’ for the past few years,” Grieve said.

“If he wanted to earn some coin he would have left before now.

“While you can’t be 100 per cent sure about returning players we didn’t lose anyone last year and I’m confident about retaining players this year.”

In State 5 news Mount Martha’s hunt for a head coach to replace the departed Mark Larner continues.

Last week the local club was contacted by a coaching duo with recent NPL experience but nothing came of their discussion.

On the playing front star striker Ethan Sanderson won’t play with Mount Martha next season and may not pull on a Mariners’ strip again.

He broke his collarbone in the first half of last season’s round 20 fixture against Mentone at Mentone Playing Fields.

Sanderson was taken to hospital and had corrective surgery two days later and his surgeon likened the severity of his injury to that of a car crash victim.

He currently has 10 pins inserted and they will be removed after nine months before he can participate in any contact training sessions.

A further three months of recovery are involved so he expects to be available to play for just the final two games of next season.
