Holes bored along rail line Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au WORK is being done along the Frankston line to prepare for the removal of eight level crossings between Cheltenham and Frankston.

Geotechnical investigations will be conducted until the end of the year so work crews will remain a familiar sight even before the larger scale sep-

aration of road from rail at Balcombe Rd (Mentone), Charman Rd (Cheltenham), Edithvale Rd (Edithvale), Eel Race Rd (Carrum), Seaford Rd (Seaford), Skye/Overton Rd (Frankston), Station St (Bonbeach), Station St (Carrum) starting next year.

The Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) says more than 130 boreholes, about 100 millimetres in diameter, are being drilled to a depth

of 40 metres to analyse soil and rock types and ground water levels at each site.

“Geotechnical investigations provide valuable information about ground conditions in and around the dangerous and congested level crossings we are removing on the Frankston rail line,” project director Adam Maguire said.

“Geotechnical information, togeth-

er with feedback from local residents, businesses and traders, will inform the design of the projects in each location and how they will be built.”

The LXRA, a state government body, said the investigation results will be published and be part of design options at each level crossing to be removed on the Frankston line.

A ‘rail trench’ and ‘rail bridge’ are options for level crossings at Seaford,

Bonbeach, Edithvale, Mentone and Cheltenham.

A rail bridge may be built at a new crossing at McLeod Rd in Carrum and the Station St crossing could be shut and a new rail bridge built at Eel Race Rd. A new ‘road connection’ at Station St over the Patterson River is also being looked at as an option.

Journo’s early days remembered Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au DUSTY dirt roads, sun-soaked weekends at the beach and wet winter days at the football are memories that encapsulate 1960s suburban Frankston for political journalist and former The Age associate editor Shaun Carney.

Life was simple and predictable; children still walked shoeless to the beach and didn’t come home until dinner was on the table, and the infectious sense of community pride was reflected in friendly neighbourhood banter and well-kept gardens.

A highlight of the year was the much-anticipated Australia Day procession down the main street, where people waved flags and stood together in a show of unity and suburban pride.

“Frankston back then was full of new housing estates and was very blue-collar, very Anglo-Celtic and full of ‘nuclear families’ with conservative values and a strong sense of self,” Carney said.

Carney reveals some of these childhood memories in his forthcoming book Press Escape, a beautifully crafted memoir and social commentary about growing up at the beginning of the television age, navigating family secrets, his daughter’s struggle with cancer, and the changing nature of journalism in the digital age.

Born in Frankston, brought up in Seaford and educated both in and out of school in The Pines, by the time he was in his early 20s Carney was itching to get out of suburbia to see

the world and pursue his childhood passion to be a journalist.

But he has never forgotten his roots, and remembers those earlier days with fondness, exploring Kananook Creek, wandering barefoot across the highway to the beach, and staying well clear of “sharpies” at the then Monterey High School.

“Those days as a young, carefree kid in Frankston were days of freedom and the beach and football, and we were pretty happy with that,” he said.

“I’m a proud product of Frankston, I suppose you could say Frankston made me – it certainly shaped who I was as a person and a writer.

“But as I reached my 20s, I wanted to get out and experience a more exciting life as a journalist, so at the embarrassingly late age of 22 I left home and headed to the city,” he said.

In his last year at Monash University at the end of the 70s, Carney began his journalism career with a cadetship at The Herald, moving on to The Age after eight years, where he became a columnist, and then associate editor from 1997 until his departure in 2012.

His memoir is filled with imagery and flair, and he manages to capture the quirkiness of quintessential suburban Melbourne as he covers everything from life in the “frontiers” of Seaford and Frankston, to the Blues playing the Pies at Princes Park and the raucous newsrooms of the 70s.

It is at times funny, insightful, and heart-warming.

Carney said he wanted to write something that reappraised his public and private roles – as a son,

Vale former mayor Marianne Meehan

a father, and a journalist. He reveals the struggles of watching his brave 12-year-old daughter endure chemotherapy, and explores the shifts in Australian television, music, news and politics across the past 50 years.

Back in Frankston last week, Carney said he remembers a community

in the 60s and 70s full of hope and pride, with lots of nervous but excited new arrivals from the UK, and a strong sense of new beginnings.  Press Escape by Shaun Carney, published by Melbourne University Publishing, is available to buy now at all good bookshops. 

A FORMER mayor of Frankston passed away last week. Ex-councillor Marianne Meehan, who served on council for five years between 1987-1988 and 1990-1994, died last Tuesday (18 October), aged 76.

A death notice published in the Herald Sun stated she “passed away suddenly and peacefully surrounded by her family” and thanked staff at The Alfred hospital for their compassion and care.

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said Ms Meehan was well known and respected within the community.

“Following her time in council, Marianne continued her support for the local community in her work with local community groups and organisations such as the Lions Club of Karingal,” Mr Hovenden said.

“On behalf of Frankston City Council, I would like to offer my condolences to Marianne’s family and friends during this difficult time.”

Gail Dudeck, a Frankston councillor alongside Ms Meehan in the 1990s, said she had been a mentor.

“Marianne was the only Councillor to be voted in for two terms, in 1993 and 1994, as mayor,” she said.

“Marianne ran a tight meeting and saw us through the difficult times of getting the Frankston Arts Centre opened in 1995.

“I will miss the monthly lunches, over 15 years, I enjoyed with Marianne and former mayors Diane Fuller and Valerie Ogier.”

Funeral service details are expected to be announced this week.

Elections outcome revealed week after votes in Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE results of the weekend’s council elections will not be known until more than seven days after polling day.

Voters had until 6pm on Friday (21 October) to complete and return ballot papers to the Victorian Electoral Commission to be counted but the election overseer will also count any votes received before midday on Friday 28 October to account for any postal delays.

Frankston Council votes will be tallied by computer count. Provisional results are expected between noon on Friday 28 October and Sunday 30 October and will be listed on

the VEC’s website.

Results for all elections are provisional until the official declaration of results, between Monday 31 October and Friday 4 November, for all council elections across Victoria.

Elections to vote for councillors to represent the community at councils in Victoria are held every four years.

Thirty-five candidates ran for nine seats on Frankston Council. There were initially 36 candidates but John Billing retired from the race “for personal reasons”.

The VEC issued a media release last week stating “two candidates have been removed from the 2016 Victorian council elections as a result of enquiries by the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate”.

Mr Billing, group manager of Frankston’s volunteer Beach Patrol, told The Times he had been contacted by the VEC about a problem with his registration as a candidate earlier this month and had decided then to withdraw from the election.

A later media release last week by the inspectorate confirmed Mr Billing “retired voluntarily” from the election and was not forcibly removed.

“It’s a shame because a lot of people told me I’d be a good councillor,” Mr Billing said.

He said he would be eligible to run as a council candidate in future elections.

Officer’s 40 years on beat celebrated All smiles: Sergeant Bruce Buchan looks back on a career of service as part of the Victoria Police force.

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au VICTORIA’S longest serving police officers were honoured at a special morning tea at Parliament House last week.

Police Minister Lisa Neville and Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton hosted the event in Queen’s Hall – where they thanked the officers for their dedication and service in keeping the community safe.

Over their time the officers have witnessed changes in crime fighting techniques, including the introduction of random breath testing, drug testing and DNA profiling. It’s a whole new world.

Among the 50 police honoured were Highway Patrol Sergeant Bruce Buchan, who has served at – among others stations – Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula Traffic Operations Group.

Sergeant Buchan was celebrating 40 years to the day since joining the force, making him one of 242 officers to have served more than 40 years. “It is a bit of a mystery why I wanted to join,� Sergeant Buchan said last week. “A work colleague went to the same high school as I did and he told me that he knew I was going to be a copper as I was always reading Police Life magazines in the school library.

The problem is I don’t remember doing this. “I do recall that, when I attended the Dandenong police station for an interview, I was asked by the senior sergeant why I wanted to join and I

replied that I wanted to help people.

That’s what I saw the role of the police to be. “So, when I was accepted into the force I had been working as a legal clerk in the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works in Lt Collins St. That had been my first job and, although it was a good start, I couldn’t see myself staying there. “I left there on 15 October 1976, had the weekend off and began training at the Police Academy on 18 October.

Training lasted five months and, unless you had exceptional circumstances, you had to live in there. “In those days you graduated on the Friday and began three months’ duties at a training station, which for me was the Elsternwick Police Station. It wasn’t an exciting police station and,

after my time there I, like all the others, ended up at the Russell Street Police Station where you seemed to be in a holding pattern. “I remained there until early 1978, learning the ropes, performing stints at the City Watch House, Parks and Gardens locking up drunks, Flinders Lane Police Station and East Melbourne Police Station. “As I wanted to work closer to home, I managed to transfer to the old Moorabbin Police Station. That was a good little station with a good boss and I then transferred to Frankston Police Station where my learning curve really kicked off. “Frankston has always been a busy place and you learnt a lot. I got there not long after the Frankston Riots in May 1979.

“In those days you seemed to be in court every week giving evidence for the drunks you had arrested and every court case you were involved in had the potential to be a contested hearing.

You got to know your local magistrates quite well and they you, in fact, if you were a fair police member, the magistrate would seem to note this. Your reputation before the courts was very important. “After three years I decided that I needed further experiences and transferred to the Cheltenham Crime Cars.

It was mainly plain clothes’ duties and life consisted of going on raids, taking out warrants and arresting crooks, but it was a lot of fun. “In 1985 I transferred back to Frankston and worked there for about 18 months before transferring to the

Traffic Operations Group at St Kilda, then to the Traffic Operations Group at Frankston. I really enjoyed those duties but it was time to take promotion and I was promoted to sergeant in 1990 at the Transit Police. That was an interesting place and I remained there for four years. I was lucky to investigate a high-profile crook while there and ended up extraditing him to Victoria from NSW. “In 1994 I managed to transfer to the new Moorabbin Police Station as a supervisor until I returned to the TOG in 95 as a supervising Sgt. Been there ever since and have seen the name change from TOG to TMU to HWP. “Of the highlights, the entire job has been an eye opener for me, and it afforded me a lot of confidence ‌ I used to hate public speaking, but now I can talk the paint off the walls. “I think my involvement and interest in road safety has been the most satisfying of all the policing duties I have performed. It seemed at the time to be one of the only jobs within Victoria Police that you could make a real difference to the community’s driving attitudes.â€?

Southern Metro Region Acting Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir said he was happy to “provide some words around Sergeant Buchan to recognise at local level his 40th year of service to the Victorian Community�. “Bruce has been a long serving member of the Highway Patrol in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula area over many years. He is a passionate advocate for road safety who really cares about the community and his staff.�

Police patrol

Teens arrested A FRANKSTON youth, 16, was arrested over a series of aggravated burglaries and thefts of cars and thefts from cars on Thursday 13 October.

The burglaries occurred at Sandhurst, Bonbeach and Patterson Lakes in September and early October. The youth was on bail over another aggravated burglary at Frankston South at the time of his arrest, in Cranbourne.

Detective Senior Constable Belinda Rampal, of Frankston CIU, said police would allege the youth entered the unlocked houses at night while the occupants slept.

Detective Rampal said half the cars pilfered of handbags and wallets had been unlocked. It is not unusual for thieves to search cars in up to 10

streets in their search for valuables, she said.

A 17-year-old girl, of Frankston South, was arrested and charged with theft of a motor vehicle on Tuesday 11 October. She, and the Frankston youth, appeared at a children’s court Friday 14 October, and were remanded to reappear Tuesday 25 October.

Boat fire ‘suspicious’ A $35,000 fibreglass cabin cruiser appears to have been deliberately torched in Seaford early on Friday 14 October.

Police are investigating the blaze which broke out at 2am in the garden of the Seaford Grove property.

A crime scene guard was established around the remains of the 6.2 metre Savage half-cabin boat sitting on

its trailer and an arson chemist was called in.

A neighbour woke the 45-year-old owner and alerted him to the fire.

Their attempts to douse the flames proved fruitless. Anyone with information should call Detective Senior Constable Richard Brown, Frankston CIU, 9784 5555.

Car torched

A STOLEN car was torched at Carrum Downs early Friday morning.

Detective Sergeant Paul Mealia, of Frankston CIU, said the 2002 Toyota Corolla was set alight in William Rd about 1.10am. Residents awoke to the sounds of burning and called police and Carrum Downs fire brigade, who extinguished the “suspicious� blaze.

Park life on the up A $300,000 revamp of Keast Park in Seaford has been completed in time for families and visitors to enjoy during the spring and summer months.

Natural space with sand pits and giant boulders have been created alongside rolling timber walkways and a mega-swing.

Timber benches, boardwalks and improved beach access via granite pathways makes the park a top destination for picnics with the addition of an extra barbecue and more tables.

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said the redevelopment of Keast Park complements the Keast Park Pavilion.

“This park is a favourite among residents and visitors and is one of the major entrances to Frankston, so council has ensured it gives a positive first impression,” Mr Hovenden said.

Playgrounds throughout the Frankston area are being upgraded including improvements to Ballam Park.

About $900,000 is also being spent on upgrades to the Frankston Waterfront playground and $600,000 worth of works at the George Pentland Botanic Gardens are expected to begin next year.

Geo testing on line Continued from Page 1 The state government says a trench cannot be dug at Carrum due to nearby Patterson River.

The government says there is no option at Skye Rd in Frankston – rail over road must be built due to an overland flood plain.

Anti-sky rail protesters have dubbed any form of elevated rail “rollercoaster” rail and say the skyline of bayside suburbs will be marred by any elevated section of the line and raised rail is only being considered since it is less expensive.

Frankston and Kingston councillors voted to oppose any form of elevated rail along the rail line before going into caretaker mode before council elections to elect councillors on 22 October.

The LXRA is still seeking feedback before 30 October on options released publicly earlier this year.

“PIXIE” Wastell may have just celebrated her 100th birthday, but the great grandmother still leads an active life and can be found swinging the bowl at Frankston Bowling Club every Wednesday night.

The bowl might be dropped or be a bit wobbly but it still ends up on the kitty, according to her daughter Glen Carr, who describes her mother as “very competitive and determined”.

“Her passion for bowling has almost been an obsession,” she said.

Born Olive Jean on 18 October a hundred years ago in Western Australia, Ms Wastell was the eighth child of ten siblings and was brought up in Melbourne by her father’s sister and husband.

She married in 1938 and shared 57 years of married bliss, two children Rob and Glen, grandchildren Kate, Tyson, Ciara and Shaun and great-grandchildren Milo, India and Caspian.

Ms Carr says her mother was always on the go, singing in the church choir, doing callisthenics and playing both billiards and tennis on the table and court at home.

There has been little that has set Pixie back, says Glen, despite having a pacemaker, diabetes and suffering a bad car accident several years ago that robbed her of some older memories.

When her husband Ern became sick about 50 years ago Pixie worked to keep the family and to buy her first car, turning 48 by the time she got her driver’s licence.

“But throughout the years, it’s been bowls that has brought her friendships and exercise and been a major part of her life,” Ms Carr said.

Ms Carr said her mother’s birthday was celebrated four times – at the bowls club, at her residential care home, with 58 family members from around the country, and at the senior citizens centre.

“She said ‘now, no fuss’, but she really loved it all.”

Behind scenes advice a Topsy service Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au NEW councillors elected this weekend who have never served on council may get a helping hand from mentorship services provided by a former Kingston councillor and mayor.

Topsy Petchey, a four-time Kingston mayor and councillor for eight years until 2008, has been a consultant for hire to both Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Shire councils in the past few years.

Her TePee Pty Ltd business offers mentorship, mediation and consultation advice and help for councils and companies.

Frankston Council confirmed $59,695 was paid to Ms Petchey over two council terms, totalling eight years, for work done to assist council and councillors.

Mornington Peninsula Shire advised that $70,600 had been paid to provide advice to councillors and help with performance reviews since October 2012, the start of the previous four-year council term.

Ms Petchey often helps councillors discuss the appointment of a council chief executive officer and the CEO’s key performance targets.

Frankston councillor Sandra Mayer, one of several councillors who consulted with Ms Petchey, said the former Kingston mayor taught her about the challenges facing councillors.

Cr Mayer said she found the mentorship service invaluable and felt a lot of councillor infighting over the past two years at Frankston Council may not have happened if Ms Petchy had been on hand to give advice.

Councillors’ counsellor: Ex-Kingston mayor Topsy Petchey is now in the consultancy business.

“She’s a really genuine person who is passionate about local government,” Cr Mayer said.

“It’s a bit disappointing in this term we had people saying they’d be fine without external assistance.

“This council was not interested in engaging with her and if they had they may have seen things from a different perspective – you’re not there for yourself, you’re there for your community.”

Former councillor Kris Bolam, hoping to be re-elected when council election results are announced on 30 October, said he had also consulted with Ms Petchy when he was a first-time elected

representative to council.

Mr Bolam has previously criticised council for “wasting” money on consultants.

“As a new council we required a steady hand to help ensure that infighting and personality clashes did not occur,” he said.

“Topsy provided a great deal of advice in preventing the infighting and personality clashes that we see at council.

“There is a good use of consultants and a bad use where the value can’t be accounted for.”

Mr Bolam said with six new councillors in the 2008 intake of elected representatives, Ms Petchey’s advice was beneficial to get newcomers up to speed quickly.

Frankston Council was happy to provide a breakdown of the fees paid to Ms Petchey’s consultancy company, including the allocation of costs to each councillor, but Mornington Peninsula Shire was less forthcoming in releasing information about how ratepayers’ money is spent.

Shire media communications manager Mark Kestigian said caretaker provisions in force in the lead up to council elections on 22 October meant council could not release information that may affect the elections outcome.

The Times requested the information from the shire three weeks before the elections caretaker period began on 20 September and regularly asked when the information would be provided only to then be told the information would not be provided.

Departing shire mayor Graham Pittock, who is not seeking re-election, was more open about the use of Ms Petch-

“Usually it’s the mayor and maybe a councillor might occasionally ask her for advice,” he said.

“It’s good to have someone to provide independent advice. She’s highly regarded and her advice is sought after.

Overall, I think we get value for money.”

Ms Petchey told The Times she does not advertise her company’s services and is approached by councils when they need independent advice on matters such as CEO contracts.

“When you’re first elected you don’t know what you don’t know. And it

would have helped me, even ten years ago, if someone said ‘this is available to do, just tap into it’ because you’re learning on the job and so many people have never had this sort of experience,” Ms Petchey said.

“I also can do the facilitation of discussions councillors have around the mayoral election - basically ensure it’s a process that stands up to scrutiny and everyone is able to present if they want to be mayor.”

She said she had not done any work for Frankston Council over the past two turbulent years.

Cr Pittock believed new councillors can benefit from mentorship advice.

“Next year we’ll have a minimum of seven new councillors and there’s so much to learn and they do need a reliable mentor.”

Fees for mentorship services are not solely listed as a councillor training expense at Frankston Council.

“Payments for various professional services provided by Topsy Petchey have been allocated to relevant areas of council’s budget as determined by the service provided,” council CEO Dennis Hovenden said.

“This includes training and development, consultancy and others as deemed appropriate.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire has been secretive about councillor expenses this council term and has refused to release the figures for the full council term before council elections.

More than $30,000 of ratepayers’ money, excluding council officers’ time, has been spent by Frankston Council on arbitration hearings into councillors’ misconduct during this council term.

Girls walk for good cause A GROUP of friends from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula are discovering the beauty and serenity of some of the Mornington Peninsula’s best-kept secrets while they train for the upcoming Wild Women on Top ‘Melbourne Coastrek’ walk.

Frankston South woman Sarah Watson is one of 12 friends who have been enjoying parts of the peninsula they never knew existed while training for the 60km charity walk, in between dodging Tiger snakes, brushing past kangaroos and echidnas, and marvelling at the beauty of the coastline.

“We’ve been doing walks around Cape Schanck and Point Nepean and without doubt one of the best things about training is the incredible scenery we see,” she said.

Ms Watson said most of the group’s participants were mothers, who were enjoying the opportunity of bringing their children with them to enjoy the scenery and discover the more remote parts of “our own backyard”.

“It’s amazing just how pretty the peninsula is, we’ve been really enjoying looking at some magnificent parts we didn’t really know existed.”

The women began fundraising for the 30km and 60km charity event months ago, kicking it off with a trivia night in June that raised $6500, all of which goes to the Fred Hollows Foundation to restore the eyesight of underprivileged people in Australia and overseas.

The women, divided into three teams, had a target when they started, but have already surpassed that thanks to the trivia night and fundraising on World Sight Day in October, and are hoping to keep collecting until the day before the walk.

The Coastrek walk, from Cape Schanck to Point Nepean, will be held on 18 November.

Donations can be made to Coastrek online at melbourne.coastrek.com.au or by calling 02 8039 3580.

Five businesses hit by thieves CCTV footage shows a man placing a magazine between the back door and the wall of the Nepean Hwy premises about 10pm, possibly to prevent it closing.

A man is then seen attempting to jemmy open a wall mounted change machine before using a sledgehammer to smash his way through a plaster wall into an office where he stole $50 coins.

He is also seen cutting through electrical wiring, possibly to disable the CCTV camera.

A man was arrested on the week-

end and charged with robbery. He appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 13 October and was further remanded until 14 November.

Thieves climbed over a two-metrehigh wire fence and smashed a glass door to enter a Chelsea antiques shop, corner Nepean Hwy and Chadwell Gr. They ransacked the counter and office area and stole $200 in coins and notes as well as a charity tin.

Next door, a few hours later, thieves broke into a fast food caravan by bending metal surrounding a door

vent and stealing a small number of gold coins. The van was previously robbed on 21 September.

Police are checking a fingerprint found at the scene with records held

by Australian Border Force officials.

It may match those contained in a possible suspect’s immigration application.

A pizza shop proprietor told police thieves tried to enter his Station St premises by jemmying open a back door and placing a garbage bin near a fence.

They also jemmied plaster from a

wall and damaged a wall jamb. Nothing was stolen.

Thieves pushed down a two-metrehigh wire fence topped with barbed wire in an attempt to enter a Station St tavern the same night.

They failed in their attempts to unscrew bolts on the backdoor and window and ripped flywire off window screens at the tavern, which is next door to the pizza shop.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incidents. They should call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

FIVE businesses in Carrum and Chelsea were robbed or had attempts made to rob them overnight on Tuesday (11 October) last week.

The businesses – all in Station St or Nepean Hwy – included a coin laundry, pizza shop, fast food caravan, antique shop, and licenced tavern.

In two of the robberies, thieves used heavy implements to punch holes through plaster walls to gain entry.

Police have charged a 36-year-old Whittlesea man with the coin laundry robbery.

I would like to know the cost to the ratepayers of the keep left signs in Heatherhill Rd, both set-up and annual maintenance costs.

This might, prima facie, seem like a trivial matter until I advise you that there are in fact 45, yes 45, keep left signs in suburban Heatherhill Rd. Is there a mass of drivers in the South ward that don’t know which side of the street to drive on?

I would have thought that any locals that have reached driving age would pretty much have it set in their mind by now as to which side to drive on.

Or perhaps it’s aimed at overseas visitors? If so, I doubt that they could have made it to Frankston from Tullamarine or Port Melbourne if they were driving on the right hand side. Natural selection would have surely filtered them out before they even got to Moorabbin.

Most signs are on islands of concrete and tile in the middle of the road, further distinguishing between the left and right hand sides.

The cost should also include the cost of the extensive areas of road that are shaded with white painted stripes between one little island and the next. Other councils manage to make do with a simple dotted line down the middle of their side streets. No signs, no islands, no shadings.

The reason that I am also interested in the maintenance cost is that some of these signs get flattened with monotonous regularity on Friday and Saturday nights.

I am hoping that the council might soon get sick of replacing these signs and perhaps come to the conclusion that maybe we don’t actually need 45 of them. I’m sure that even the least intellectual among us can remember which side of the road to drive on.

Terry Dyson, Frankston

Save the ducks My family members and myself are totally and extremely angry, shocked, horrified, disgusted and appalled beyond words at our the Daniel Andrews government-approved duck shooting season, which is nothing less than a huge massive insult and affront to everyone and everything good, decent, humane and ethical.

Please support animal welfare in Australia and contact the premier to totally stop this so-called sport permanently. Sharon Bayer, Frankston

Save the Dolphins The AFL hasn’t trousered any of my hard earned for over 30 years. Having witnessed Sting being paid more than $1 million to perform three songs at this year’s Grand Final while, at the same time, seeing the Frankston Dolphins and their creditors allowed to go to the wall, I won’t be patronising the AFL in any way in the foreseeable future either.

Michael Long, Frankston

Humanitarian approach Refugees make up a very small part of the 800,000 people coming to Australia each year: short and longer term immigrants, students and workers. The government’s current policies for refugees, which are shrouded in secrecy, seem punitive and short-sighted and certainly lacking

understanding of the plight of refugees.

It also seems that refugees coming by boat are considered separately to immigrants and that the huge numbers of arrivals is not common knowledge to government advisors.

It is a relief to know that there are people and organisations looking at the whole picture in a humanitarian way, with a view to finding solutions to very difficult and complex issues around refugees in Australia and around the world.

The government has many people in our communities who would support changes to our current policies of mandatory detention and certainly to allow the men, women and children to come to Australia from both offshore detention centres.

We need big thinkers in government, not the narrow-minded rhetoric and cruel unsustainable and expensive policies advocated and supported by our government.

Our taxes could be spent much more wisely and successfully and we should look to the advice of the people who will suggest considered policies to manage this complex issue.

Ann Renkin, Shoreham

Health labels a joke It has been a year since the introduction of “health star” food labels and health ratings on packaged food and they are a complete joke and waste of time because they are optional. Virtually no product has them.

Most people have never heard of them.

I don’t want some government agency telling me what is healthy for this individual. This foolish scheme should be immediately abandoned and replaced with a system that is valid, informative and compulsory.

As a diabetic it is critical that I know the percentage of sugar in a food. I will then decide how healthy, or poisonous, that food is. The same goes for fat.

All Australians must be made aware of these simple facts, given that we have serious epidemics of diabetes and obesity in this country.

People don’t know what they are eating. Such labelling must be compulsory and conspicuous.

Like the cancer warnings on cigarette packets.

We also must know where the food is made.

We have strict food hygiene regulations in this country,”clean and green”, and this is what I want to buy. Some other countries use raw human sewage as crop fertiliser, some have appalling food hygiene standards. Eating E-coli cannot be healthy.

The misleading label “Made in Australia (or Belgium, France, USA) from local or imported ingredients” should be made illegal. It means simply local water added or packed here from the cheapest possible ingredients imported from somewhere.

There is also the use of GM foods (genetically modified). Surely I have the right to know if the canola margarine I may use is made from this?

Will we ever get protective and informative food labelling or is our government putting free trade agreements and food industry profits ahead of the health of Australians?

High price to protest The shire’s ill-conceived concrete pathway program for Somers is coming up for a hearing at VCAT this week. But the opponents to this totally over the top proposal by Mornington Peninsula Shire have been hit with a demand for around $9000 to be able to be part of the proceedings at VCAT. This demand was communicated less than a week before the hearing.

It seems justice and local government are possibly conspiring to disenfranchise our local population. It seems as if the shire is hell bent to get this pathway built to create a precedent for shifting the financial burden of infrastructure development onto ordinary ratepayers.

Rate capping by the state government is making it harder for councils to just increase rates to ever higher levels, so this scheme would enable local government to circumvent the new laws.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Peninsula crime wave The latest crime statistics confirm what I have already been hearing from locals and that is that we are in the midst of an increasing crime wave on the Mornington Peninsula.

We have seen a 9.4 per cent increase in crime over the past 12 months and the Andrews Labor government still believes that, in defence of its own ideological purity, we deserve to feel unsafe in our own homes.

Unfortunately the government has done nothing to resolve this issue which has been building up since it stopped recruiting enough front line police after the 2014 election.

Our hinterland areas are particularly vulnerable as the response times are now extending out to the point where criminals can operate with virtual impunity, knowing that they will be out of the area long before the police arrive.

I will continue to take these concerns direct to the police minister whose only solution to date is to slash funding for the very successful Neighborhood Watch program, without any plan

Ramping up upgrades Keast Park in Seaford has been revamped with $300,000 worth of improvements. See story Page 10. Picture: Gary Sissons to actually reduce crime and restore order to our community.

Powerful argument The almost total blackout of South Australia, in part, to unusually strong winds and weather conditions, clearly demonstrated what climate change scientists have been predicting for a long time: more frequent and stronger unseasonable weather conditions.

Prime Minister Turnbull showed his colours by jumping in, boots and all, attributing the total blackout as a demonstration of the unreliability of renewable energy.

Photographs of the power towers crumpled on the ground, clearly suggest that these towers were not designed to withstand a strong wind.

One wonders, was it cost cutting, or design, or lack of understanding of the real effects of climate change which caused the damage. In Europe the towers are often caked in ice yet they withstand similar or greater winds.

With the cutting of research grants to the CSIRO, some of which could have been used to research power from wave action, we lost another source of power which would have provided extra energy when sun or wind fails.

The prime minister and other ministers will, I hope, learn from this episode. More thought and professional advice before making such misleading statements would be advisable.

Congratulations to the yet to be announced new Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors and their successful campaign to serve the residents the shire. I hope they realise that residents have invested and entrusted them with the power to make MPSC the envy of every other municipality in Australia.

It’s going to be a huge job and a long hard slog because MPSC is coming off an extremely low base. They should adopt the mantra of [former football great] Ron Barrassi: “If it is to be, then it’s up to me.”

First and foremost, they should not rush to elect a mayor. Previous experience as a councillor is not an essential requirement to be a figurehead. Residents do not want a mere figurehead. We want a “can do and will do” mayor.

A mayor who will take personal interest in the operations of council officers to ensure that local laws are obeyed and enforced.

The next new CEO should be put through the same vetting process. Does anyone know if we currently have a CEO? An even more stringent vetting process is required for hiring unit managers and their officers. They should all know the local laws and how to enforce them - that is their job. They should also know that it is their duty to respond to letters, emails, messages and telephone calls.

Finally, to make it abundantly clear that MPSC is serious about improving its rating, notify all employees in writing that it intends to reinstate the age old consequence for dereliction of duty, for negligence, for indulging in deceitful practises and blatant fabrications - dismissal.

There are plenty of well qualified, even better qualified unemployed people waiting to replace them.

Having been elected to council, I hope councillors don’t let your supporters down.

Thor’s day: The perfect weather for the Dress for Success charity golf day added to the costumed enjoyment. Picture: Daryl Gordon

Hits and giggles at charity THE weather turned it on during a charity golf day at Mornington Golf Club this month, on Friday 14 October, to raise money for the Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula community service.

The annual golf day is organised by Bendigo Bank, with proceeds going to the Dress for Success service.

About 105 people attended the event, which last year raised $12,000.

The group, that provides women with interview clothing, has also been awarded $500 under a program that recognises groups that help build a more “inclusive� society.

Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula, which provides work-appropriate clothing to country, rural and remote women in Victoria, has a mission to help them rebuild their self-confidence and self-esteem as they seek work and financial security.

It’s helped more than 3500 women in and around

Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula since starting in 2008. President Prue Leggoe said the service provided a free dressing and support service to women and school-leavers, helping to build their job-readiness and interview skills.

A free post-employment support is also offered through a ‘professional women’s group’, which focuses on assisting women through the transition to work, such as retaining their job, dealing with workplace issues and developing professional skills.

Ms Leggoe said the services provided by Dress for Success were often a pivotal step toward our clients achieving financial independence. “We’re thrilled to receive an Australia Post Our Neighbourhood Community Grant. It will help us to reach out to more women in regional Victoria who can benefit from what Dress for Success can do to empower and prepare women for work.�

THIEVES used a stolen credit card 12 times to buy jewellery and clothing items from stores at Frankston Centro shopping centre on Monday 10 October.

Police will allege that, earlier that day, the thieves pulled the flyscreen off a window to enter a Petrie St, Frankston house and stole a woman’s handbag.

The woman, who was at home at the time, had left the bag in her bedroom at about 2.30pm.

The thieves then went on a shopping spree at Myer, Country Road and various jewellery stores, using the card’s PayPass facility to buy items valued at under $100 each – racking up debts of around $1000.

A woman, 42, and a man, 38, both of Frankston, were arrested when identified on CCTV, thanks to the skills of Detective Sergeant Paul Mealia, of Frankston CIU, and crews in the station’s District Operations Support Office, who matched their faces with names and addresses.

The couple have been charged with aggravated burglary, theft, 12 counts of obtaining property by deception and handling stolen gods. They were remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 8 December.

Car, goods retrieved THE chance sighting of a stolen car in Seaford earlier this month led to the retrieval of alcohol, electronics equipment, skateboard, tools and motor bikes allegedly stolen from houses and cars the Patterson Lakes and Bonbeach areas.

Police spotted the Holden Rodeo utility in Cane Av, Wednesday 5 October,

and arrested a 23-year-old Frankston man and a 24-year-old Frankston North man. A search of their house allegedly unearthed the contraband, stolen in a series of aggravated burglaries from late September.

The pair will appear on aggravated burglary, burglary and thefts from motor cars at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Friday 4 November.

Bullets in bag

A FRANKSTON North man, 28, appeared “nervous and agitated� when intercepted by police in Chelsea Heights early on Tuesday 4 October.

They had just pulled over a Holden sedan in Amaroo Drive for a random check at 2.15am and found the man in the back seat holding a backpack.

He admitted he had recently used cannabis.

The man consented to police searching his pockets and the bag in which they allegedly found two .22 calibre bullets which were photographed and seized.

He was charged with possessing cartridge ammunition without a licence or permit, and released pending summons.

Feast for the eyes ART lovers or anyone looking for a unique Christmas gift can enjoy two consecutive weekends of creative expression when 18 artists showcase their work for the Peninsula Studio Trail.

About 20 artists from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula will display their artwork, covering a range of mediums including painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, jewellery and printmaking.

Some artists will demonstrate their techniques and take questions from visitors.

One of the artists participating in the event, Mt Eliza author and publisher, designer, silk painter, printmaker, card designer and teacher Lorna Gerard, said the event was a wonderful opportunity for residents and visitors to the Mornington Peninsula to meet artists as they work in their studios.

The Peninsula Studio Trail will run on No-

vember 12-13 and 19-20, 10am-5pm.

Visitors can plan their studio visits by downloading a map of studio locations.

For information on the artists involved and to download a map of studio locations, see peninsulastudiotrail.org online, email info@ peninsulastudiotrail.org or call Bryan Baldwin on 0417 120 323.

Regular updates about the Peninsula Studio Trail are also available at the Facebook page.

The members of the Peninsula Studio Trail have regular Open Studio Weekends throughout the year. Many of the artists run classes, workshops and promote their work through exhibitions.

Message from the Premier This summer is forecast to be a dangerous fire season. Fire Action Week is the time for all Victorians to begin preparing.

Many communities throughout Victoria have been battling with persistent rain and rising flood waters. This rainfall has provided the stimulus for increased growth of vegetation in forested, bush and grass fire areas across the state. As summer intensifies, these regions will dry out quickly, increasing the risk of uncontrollable fires, especially over the Christmas and summer holiday period.

stay safe. Leaving early means leaving before a fire starts – not when you can see flames or smell smoke. Leaving early means avoiding panic, being trapped and making the wrong decisions that could be dire.

The steps to take are simple:

Use Fire Action Week to prepare your home and property and think about summer fire safety, especially if you live in bush and grass fire prone areas. Taking the right steps now will help make your decisions in an emergency easier and clearer.

neighbours about what you’ll do on high risk days and have a plan if fire threatens you and your home this summer

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria

Emergency services are working with communities, businesses, local councils and government to reduce the risk in your area, while ensuring resources are in place to respond to all emergencies. However, it is up to you to understand the risk in your area, monitor conditions and take responsibility for your own safety and the safety of your household.

THE REASONS ARE BLACK AND WHITE.

Fire Action Week The Right Time To Prepare

2. Check Fire Danger Ratings daily

at emergency.vic.gov.au to find out how dangerous a fire would be if one started and monitor warnings, especially when the Fire Danger Rating is Severe, Extreme or Code Red

3. Pack an emergency kit of

essentials – including important documents, a first aid kit, medications, blankets, water and a battery powered radio – and keep it handy Planning and preparing for fire is everyone’s responsibility. Make it yours this week and help keep your family and the community safe this summer.

For more information on how to get prepared, go to emergency.vic.gov.au.

Taking steps to get prepared before summer means you know what to do when a fire starts.

Talk to your family and friends about how you’ll know when to leave and where to go to

Be Fire Ready.

1. Talk to your household and

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days.

2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass.

3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home.

4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and well away from branches of mature trees.

5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres.

6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to).

7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

Respect yourself: Yasmin Chandler is on a mission to help women get their mojo back and embrace who they are. Picture: Cameron McCullough

A crusade against the body blues Sunday 6 November 2016 016

Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au IT is a stark statistic; 91 per cent of all women hate their bodies. That was the finding of Taryn Brumfitt who interviewed more than 5000 women on the subject while making her landmark film on body image, Embrace.

The statistic was no surprise to one Mount Martha mother, Yasmin Chandler, who has suffered from a lifelong negative body image, and is only now breaking free from its effects.

“It has taken up far too much of my life,” Yasmin said.

“If I am raw about this, if I put myself out there, maybe other people will benefit from my honesty.”

Yasmin’s journey to body acceptance has been a long one. But there is no doubting where it started.

“I was an early developer. By the age of eleven, I had a womanly body. I found myself being teased at school, and it was a issue that consumed too much of my thoughts.”

After Yasmin left school she spent most of her work life in very competitive and male-dominated industries. Firstly in car sales, and later in horse racing.

“I was very obsessed with making money, with being successful. But deep down, I wasn’t feeling fulfilled in life.”

After leaving the car industry, Yasmin worked with her husband in his horse training business.

“I became 100 per cent focused on the success of my husband.

“I began to forget about my own success in life.”

Things changed dramatically nearly three years ago when Yasmin’s marriage fell apart.

“I literally took a year off from life to sort it out,” Yasmin said.

“I realised that I had been pursuing someone else’s goals. Not only that, I had spent my entire adult life thinking about performing and achieving goals, making money mostly!

“Now I was lost. I was totally shattered and, I must admit, I had become someone I just didn’t like anymore.”

Yasmin, now a single mum with two young children, made the decision to go back to basics.

“To change my mindset, that money and success was not the answer, but passion, desire and a absolutely love for what you do is what make you soul tick.

PAGE 20

Frankston Times 24 October 2016

“That void quickly disappeared when I followed my heart’s desire in my career choice and no longer valued myself on what I could earn.”

Yasmin’s business, Mojo Makeovers, was born.

“I am sure many women are just like me. When we have our mojo, we feel invincible, life follows in harmony. We let go of insecurities and walk with confidence. I decided to dedicate my time to helping women get their mojo back!

“Mojo Makeovers is a tranquil, peaceful, discrete environment for women to completely let go, be one with themselves and escape from the outside world.”

Services include Venus Viva skin rejuvenation, facials, essential oils, nutrition products, Jane Iredale makeup, and the Environ skin care range.

“My mission is for women to look in the mirror and fall back in love with their skin.”

Yasmin also founded ‘The Listening Lounge’ – a confidential, non-judgemental and safe place where women can air worries, thoughts or challenges.

“After seeing Embrace, I realised I had to bring it to Mornington to help other women who, like me, have been obsessed with body image issues,” said Yasmin.

“I was amazed to discover that 10% of young women suffer from eating disorders and more than 50% of 5-12 year olds want to lose weight.

“I feel like this is a journey I have to go on for the good of my daughters. I don’t want them wasting their time worrying and obsessing like I did”.

After some determined effort, Yasmin arranged for the movie to be screened at Mornington Cinemas on 28 October, which quickly sold out.

“I have managed to get approval for another screening on 18 November at 7pm. Tickets are flying out the door already, so get in quickly if you’d like to come along!” said Yasmin.

Yasmin is now happy and healthy. She has moved on from her separation and maintains a great relationship with the father of her daughters.

“I have found my inner peace. Now I want to share it around.”

Mojo Makeovers is based in Mount Martha.

To find out more about Yasmin’s business, see mojomakeovers.com.au.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

W. L. Gregory writes to his parents from the front Compiled by Cameron McCullough The following letter has been received from W. L. Gregory by his parents: Just a line to tell you I am getting on as good as gold since I got smacked. I dare say you have got my card by this from the Convalescent Camp at Boulogne.

I told you I would give you a description of what it was like when I wrote. To sum the whole thing up it was just like hell let loose.

Anyone that reads about it at home cannot imagine what it was like.

One division of Australians went in (I cannot name the division as it would only get crossed out) and they had to take Posieres. They had as hard a fight as anything on the line. We saw them come out and I can tell you it made our chaps think a bit.

Another division (Australian) was sent in to relieve them and we had to relieve this division. We knew that things were going very hard with them but our chaps stuck to it and were as lively as crickets when they were going in.

We sent one Battalion to the front but they had to retire back, the fire was that hot. They got up later at night and relieved the men that were in after the terrific bombardment.

The next morning that division had to be sent out for re-organization as they had lost heavily.

Our battalion went up the same night and two companies faced the bombardment and got through and relieved the men in the firing line and supports. Then one of the pluckiest things happened for the time we were in the trenches.

Some of the battalion that was sent

out for re organization got surrounded by about fifty Germans. The Germans had taken them prisoners and were getting back to their lines when Lieut Jacka V. C. hopped over the trench and called to two platoons to follow him.

They went out and captured all the Germans and got our own boys back. It was a great piece of work, considering the fire they had to go through.

That night we moved up into the reserves and the following afternoon into the firing line. They were shelling us with shrapnel the whole way up.

I do not think we had a casualty going up. We had no sooner got in than Fritz started bombarding.

You talk about shells coming over, they were falling like peas, the shelling was that heavy. What put heart into our boys more than anything was the fire that our Artillery was sending back to Fritz.

We were getting it bad enough, but I would not have lived in Fritz’s trenches for all the money in the world. I think for every shell he threw over our Artillery threw five or six.

They were going that fast you could hear an incessant humming as they were going over. It used to be just the thing to hear the big 9in and 14in shells going over our heads during the day towards Fritz’s lines. The Tommy artillery used to fire them from about six miles back.

Every time we heard one you should have heard the boys cheering it.

In the front line we had no trench at all. We had to take up our positions in big shell holes and build it up with sandbags. You would get up against the parapet wondering where the next shell

was going to drop. It was only a matter of going in and waiting your turn to get knocked, and of course, if you were lucky you would come out alright.

In one of the machine gun bays (position where the men and guns are) I saw one section levelled to one man. They were all killed or wounded, but he stuck there waiting to see if an attack was going to be made by Fritz, until he was relieved by another section.

All the night through we had to keep observing to see if there was going to be a counter attack by Fritz. If he had come he would have got a pretty warm reception I can tell you.

The boys were worked up to a nice pitch waiting, We were all glad when dawn came. I think it was more to see what damage had been done.

The following afternoon our company was relieved and we went back into the supports, thinking we were going to have a rest, but Fritz started up a very heavy bombardment and gave us a pretty rough time. The trenches were levelled to the ground in places by the shells. There were numerous cases where chaps had to dig their mates out during the night while the shelling was at its heaviest, they having been buried in the trench.

That night our company lost thirty wounded, and 4 killed.

Up till now I have only told you about our losses. Well, they are slight to what the Germans are losing. They brought up their 48th and 168th reserve regiments to have a go at us but they lost very heavily.

I was talking to an A.M.C. orderly and he said our killed were very slight

our support trenches when Fritz started putting shrapnel into us. One came right at us and of course we all bobbed, (one bobs naturally after they have been there a while when they hear a shell coming) but did not get low enough.

One piece killed one poor chap just behind me, another took the rear portion of another chap off, and the third piece got me in the head. It hit my rifle and smashed it, then went through my helmet and stopped at my skull.

The doctor told me that I am one of the luckiest chaps at the present moment.

They sent me to Boulogne to the 13th General Hospital (English). From there I was transferred to the 1st Convalescent Camp after having a few days treatment and rest. I asked the doctor to put me out of there and let me get back to the Battalion. It didn’t seem to suit me although it is a beautiful little camp.

I get dissatisfied being on my own. I am now at the Base waiting to get back to the Battalion. The wound has not quite healed yet. You will have to hand this around if any one wants any news as I have said everything. I hope to get back soon to have another go. I do not think I can tell you any more as I am just blown out for news. I hope to see Fred any day now, as I hear his division is somewhere kicking round. I have not seen a letter from you all for at least ten weeks.

Well I will have to close; hoping you are in the best of health with best love from your loving son. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 October, 1916

compared with the wounded. A great number of our men were wounded slightly with shrapnel. Of course these count as casualties.

Everywhere you look you can see dead Germans lying. We hadn’t the time to bury them.

Well, to get on then with the story.

Our company was being relieved that night, after 48 hours in the trenches. In the morning I lost one of my best mates in Joe Bickley from Hastings. He and I had been together right from the the start.

He got badly but not seriously wounded. He and I had our dugouts with about a foot of earth separating us.

During the night two other chaps got shelled out of their dugouts and came to Joe and I. One got with him and the other with me About five in the morning a shrapnel shell burst and a piece or two flew back and got Joe and the chap who was with him. It hit them both through the leg about the thigh. Both had their legs shattered.

The chap who was with me got a big piece through the shoulder and I never got a scratch. Just before this a big piece bigger than a hen egg hit me on the back but glanced off doing no damage.

I had the three of them to look after on my own for about three hours, the stretcher-bearers being occupied elsewhere.

Vince Callanan form Balnarring was with us and was marked as missing but I have found out since that he was sent down to the dressing station with shell shock. He will be alright by now.

That night I got my crack as we were being relieved. We had got well behind

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Frightening the daylight savings out of me

By Stuart McCullough THANK goodness that’s over. Goodbye to my least favourite night of the year and the dreadful week that inevitably follows in its wake. Farewell for another twelve months when it will, once more, lob upon the doorstep like a marooned but distantly related backpacker determined to move in and devour the contents of the refrigerator wholesale. But for now I must suffer through the consequences of its most unwelcome arrival. Truth be told, I’m tired, grumpy and for this entire week have felt as though I’m running late.

Thanks for nothing, daylight savings.

Once upon a time, daylight savings was shorter. In fact, it used to start in the last weekend of October.

But like some deadly virus, it has slowly spread and now occupies half the year. That means that for a whole six months, we’re running on summertime. Summer, however, is just as long as it always was. I don’t recall anyone voting to expand daylight savings. It’s one of those things that just seems to have happened when we were putting the bins out or looking the other way.

Perhaps it’s climate change. As the earth’s temperature increases, maybe summer and (therefore) summertime, has increased along with it. Doubtless, the Paris accord contains a sub-clause somewhere up the back that reinforces the need to curb emissions and halt the increase in global temperatures in order to contain the spread of daylight savings. Sometimes, looming disasters are described by the number of minutes until midnight. This method, of course, becomes wholly redundant

when you have to wind the clock forward an hour. Folks, we are in serious trouble.

I truly resent the start of daylight savings. Every hour I have is precious, especially those in the middle

Frankston Times 24 October 2016

of the night because that’s when I do all my best sleeping. If they dropped an hour between four and five o’clock on a Monday afternoon, I probably wouldn’t mind so much. But to be robbed of a whole hour over the

weekend is patently unfair. It’s nothing short of burglary. The effect was exacerbated by the fact that I was unaware that it was due to start as early in October as it was. I felt as though the whole catastrophic experience snuck up on me whilst my back was turned. I was, it seems, completely unprepared.

I mean, where does that missing hour go? Not just mine, but yours too. Just imagine all the things you could have achieved this week with another sixty minutes in your back pocket. You could have finished that book you’ve been reading, gone for a long walk or cooked a meal. Instead, you’ve been way, way, way too busy because some unelected time bandit stole an hour that rightly belongs to you. They have some nerve.

When daylight savings kicks off, the first thing I feel is tired. Then I spend the rest of the entire week that follows trying to get over the fact that I feel tired. And it’s not just me that’s suffering. The dog is confused. The curtains are fading and the cow that I’m currently renting the back room to is confused-as-all-get-out in terms of when to rock up for milking. It’s an incredibly unsatisfactory state of affairs. I can’t begin to think how Flava Flav copes with these kind of shenanigans. I think it’s time we reconsidered the whole idea of moving the clock hand around as though it were some kind of plaything. Time should march to its own beat. It ought to be sacrosanct.

This madness must stop. If we don’t act now, daylight savings will continue its ceaseless march and take over the entire year. Soon, there’ll be no more regular time. Normal time will cease

to matter at all and, instead, we’ll always be an hour ahead of where we should be. My fear is that taking over the whole year won’t be enough for those daylight savings extremists who believe we’re all better off from the exercise inherent in winding the clock forward. Having successfully moved the clocks forward by an hour, there’s now a risk that they’ll seek to claim yet another hour, leaving us a full one hundred and twenty minutes adrift from reality. Before we know it, time will be meaningless.

I appreciate that Queensland has long recognized that daylight savings is dangerous. They have continued to hold out against the advancing tide of summertime, perhaps sensing that it was the thin end of the wedge. I plan to move there. I will seek refuge in the sunshine state to pursue a life free from the tyranny of daylight savings.

Only in Queensland will I able to keep the hour that rightfully belongs to me.

There are some practical impediments, though. Upping sticks and moving north is far easier said than done. There’s another way. Instead of moving, perhaps this is a problem that should be faced head on. It’s time to take a stand. Or, at least, it would be time to take a stand if some oxygen thief hadn’t wound the clock forward.

As of this moment, I will be boycotting daylight savings. If you and I are due to meet, you might wish to take this into account, lest you should end up twiddling your thumbs for an hour.

Time, I feel, is on my side. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Getting ready to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Count Us Inâ&#x20AC;?

By Melissa McCullough MUSIC: Count Us In is Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest schools initiative, where students across the country sing the same song, on the same day, at the same time. Encouraging young people to become passionate about music and music education, 2016 marks the 10th year of Music: Count Us In and the invitation is out for all Australian schools to get involved.

Schools have register now, learn this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s song and join more than half a million kids for Celebration Day on Thursday November 3rd.

What is Music: Count Us In? Working directly with schools and teachers, Music: Count Us In exists to assist teachers in providing quality music education and to address the gap in specialist music education provision in many Australian schools. The program is both a participation program and an advocacy program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; raising the profile of music education on the national stage, and providing hundreds of thousands of students with practical music learning.

Spurred on by a 2007 National School Music Review which pointed to glaring inadequacies in music education in schools, the report included a recommendation to raise the status

of music in schools. Music: Count Us In was the response. Its purpose â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to energise and engage teachers, principals, school communities, and families, and to provide quality music participation opportunities, available to all.

The program has far exceeded expectations, extending into all states and territories, and connecting with schools of every shape and size. It is freely available to every student in the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and beyond. Commendably it has also been consistently supported by both sides of politics, in a bipartisan show of federal support for school music, which extends through until at least 2018.

Actor and singer Jay Lagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aia of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Play Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fame joins Music: Count Us In 2016 as program mentor, commenting: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to seeing how people interpret the song. This is very much a story that you send to different communities and they come back with their versions of the story. To get together on that special Celebration Day and for everyone to sing it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be very exciting!â&#x20AC;?

Registration is still open. Register for free at www.musicaustralia.org. au

JAY chatted to the kids from St. Macartanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish Primary school in Mornington about Music Count Us In: Lucy (pictured): Every year at our school we get together in the hall for Music Count Us In and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to it this year.

Pearl: How long did it take to make, (organise), Music Count Us In 2016?

Jay: Music Australia works on each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Music Count Us In across the whole year, taking time to organise the students picked to help write and record the song and then to share it across the country with everyone.

Ava: How many Music Count Us In songs have there been?

Jay: There have been 10 songs in total. This year is Music Count Us Inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 Year Anniversary Judd: Why is the Music Count Us In program so important?

Jay: Designed to encourage young people to become passionate about music and music education, the program is both a participation program and an advocacy program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; raising the profile of music education on the national stage, and providing hundreds of thousands of students with practical music learning.

Rain plays havoc

By IT Gully RAIN was the only winner in MPCA cricket on Saturday.

There was some cricket played throughout the competition and there were some results, however most games ended in draws.

Provincial In Provincial cricket, all matches ended in draws despite a few overs being bowled throughout the afternoon.

Langwarrin got out in the middle against Baxter, chasing down 256 for victory.

Play was ended with the home side 4/93, Simon McEvoy top scoring for the Kangas with 42.

Dale Irving picked up a couple of wickets for Baxter while Chris Brittain and Justin Bridgeman snagged one each.

The only other play in Provincial cricket was at Alexandra Park.

Chasing 193 for victory, Pines resumed in some real trouble at 3/8.

Harley Peace-Stirling offered some resistance when play resumed and score 33.

Stumps were finally drawn though with the Piners 6/63 off 28.5 overs.

Leigh Lambert was superb with the ball for Mornington with 3/23 off eight overs, while Adrian Dale picked up 2/6 off 4.5 overs and Matt Foon jagged 1/8 off eight overs.

In other results, Mt Eliza (9/235)

drew with Crib Point, Sorrento (8/270) drew with Somerville, Long Island (156) drew with Pearcedale (0/17) and Peninsula Old Boys (0/71) drew with Moorooduc (139).

District There was no play in District cricket, although there were to two results on the first day of play.

Red Hill picked up the valuable 12 points against Rye after beating them on first innings last week.

The Demons were bowled out for 32 and 61 on the opening day while Red Hill blasted a quick fire 7/185 before declaring.

Glen Collett was at his best for the Hillmen with 5/16 from 11 overs while Simon Dart claimed 5/13 from 7.4 overs.

Felix McKillop top scored with 76 and Brent Martin hit 46 for the Hillmen.

Collett picked up 2/12 in the second innings and Lincoln Toy claimed 2/6.

Mt Martha also got the chocolates against Boneo.

The Pandas were sent in by the home side on the first day and were bowled out for just 44 in 31.3 overs - ‘extras’ was the highest score with nine.

Rhys Whitling was the pick of the Reds’ bowlers with 5/11 from eight overs while Kyle Bendle helped himself to 3/11 of 6.3 overs.

In reply, the Reds declared at 8/140,

chasing quick runs. Mitch Darville top scored for the home side with 45 while Sean Spencer and Leigh Janssen picked up 4/45 and 4/33 respectively for Boneo with the ball.

At stumps, Boneo was 2/41 in its second innings, still 55 runs behind.

There was no play on day two.

In other results, Baden Powell (217) drew with Seaford (0/40), Main Ridge and Rosebud drew without any play, Heatherhill (2/91) drew with Seaford Tigers (175) and Flinders (9/229) drew with Delacombe Park.

Sub District Ballam Park picked up a valuable 12 points in Sub District cricket, the only team to get a result in the grade.

Skye batted first and was bowled out for 67 on the first day while Ballam Park responded with 5/175 before declaring. Aaron Barrett scored 35 and Dave Roach 43 while skipper Stuart Plunkett top scored with 55 to go with his 6/30 with the ball.

Skye batted for 39 overs in the second innings and was in real trouble at 6/63 before rain got hold of the match.

In other matches Carrum (200) drew with Dromana, Carrum Downs (2/57) drew with Balnarring (218), Hastings (164) escaped with a draw against Tootgarook (3/120) and Frankston YCW (2/6) drew with Tyabb (181).

The great escape: Pines held off defeat and were 6/63 at stumps. Picture: Rab Siddhi
