Man drowns in rough seas Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A LANGWARRIN man and his teenage son pulled four people to safety in surging seas off Frankston, Wednesday afternoon, but could not find a fifth man whose body was spotted later by ambulance helicopter. Peter Edwards and son Trent, 17, were sitting on the sand after kayaking near

the pier when a young man of Pacific Islander appearance ran over for help. “He said someone was drowning,” Mr Edwards said. “It’s all a bit vague now but I remember dragging our kayaks under the pier and seeing four heads bobbing about in the water and we got out there as quickly as we could.” Conditions were rough on a day of strong northerly winds and high temperatures. A cool change was expected later

in the day and the beach was crowded. “I got to them first,” Mr Edwards said. “Three of them were yelling at us and then I saw a girl had been separated from them. I paddled over and she grabbed the handle at the back and we headed for shore. She was very distressed. “The other two grabbed Trent’s kayak and the strong waves pushed them towards shore. The fourth one managed to swim in by himself.”

Only then did Mr Edwards realise another person was unaccounted for – and likely to be in serious trouble. “We set out to try to find him and Trent paddled down towards Oliver’s Hill, but he was exhausted. “I stayed out there until the boats and the helicopter came and found [the man] about half an hour later and then went back to shore. “I have no idea what happened to the people we helped, or where they

went afterwards.” An Emergency Services statement late Wednesday said, “Crews conducted a search of the water near the pier after a report of a person missing at about 5pm. The man was recovered from the water, but Ambulance Victoria paramedics were unable to revive him. Police are investigating and will prepare a report for the coroner. The deceased is yet to be identified.” Continued page 10

Billson quits politics, puts family first Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au DUNKLEY will have a new elected representative after the next federal election. That result a certainty after Liberal MP Bruce Billson announced last week he is quitting politics. In a statement released last Tuesday (24 November) Mr Billson said he will not seek re-election and “decided it is the right time to ‘hang up the campaign R.M. Williams’ [shoes]”. The former small business minister’s exit from politics follows a 20-year stint as a parliamentarian including 12 years as either a cabinet or shadow cabinet minister. Mr Billson was axed from cabinet by incoming Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull after Mr Turnbull ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott in September. Mr Billson’s decision to walk away from politics came after consultation with his family. “It has become clear to us that while I love what I do, it is not possible for me to fully do what I love,” he said in the statement. He described his time in parliament as “both challenging and incredibly satisfying” since it included many roles in portfolios such as veteran affairs, defence, foreign affairs and trade, immigration, indigenous and multicultural affairs. “To be able to work ‘selflessly’ for your community and nation is what is required and rightfully expected. However to do so requires a ‘selfishness’ in terms of availability and intellectual focus which family experience as being physically and mentally ‘away’ an

awful lot and for key events. “Our conclusion after much consideration is that the goal of a more family-friendly professional life of purpose, challenge and impact is best pursued in another field.” Despite being dumped from cabinet, Mr Billson vowed to support the Turnbull government by “ensuring the talented new Ministerial team has maximum opportunity for ‘clear air’ and a sure-footed start”. He thanked his “sweetheart Kate, my children, the incredibly talented and committed staff I have had the good fortune to work with, the Liberal Party, my campaign team, supporters and all those whose advice, support and wise counsel has made possible my parliamentary career and the honour of representing the community in which I grew up.” “I have loved these days and make public this decision with no regret, remorse or bitterness.” Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley thanked Mr Billson for his work on behalf of the region in a statement issued by Frankston Council. “The Honourable Bruce Billson has served our community well for two decades, having done everything that he can for our community. This announcement is a great loss for council, as we will need to establish the same strong report and working relationship that we currently enjoy, with his successor. Whatever the Member for Dunkley chooses to do next, we have no doubt that he will succeed.” Cr Dooley said council is preparing a federal election lobbying plan, following its Speak Up For Frankston state election advocacy campaign last year,

Medicentre shut but service saved AFTER hours GP care will still be available at Frankston Hospital after the Labor state government stepped in to provide funding to Peninsula Health to provide the service after the Medicentre at the hospital closed on Sunday. The board of the privately-operated Medicentre decided to close the centre after losing federal funding. The afterhours clinic will remain open and be staffed by locum doctors while Peninsula Health asks for expressions of interest to provide a longer-term service (‘Medicentre’s end a sore point’, The Times 23/11/15). Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke welcomed the funding. “The Frankston Medicentre provided vital care to local families for close to twenty years – by stepping in and providing additional funding we are ensuring this important after-hours care will still be available for local families when they need it.”

to “provide our city with an opportunity to highlight and escalate projects for our community”. Labor has preselected defence lawyer Peta Murphy as its candidate for Dunkley at the next federal election. The Liberal Party will now be forced to undertake a preselection process to

nominate a candidate to contest the seat. Mr Billson will stay on as Dunkley MP until writs are issued for the federal election, just under a fortnight before polling day. The next federal election must be held before or on 14 January 2017.

CAIRNS has snared the Ironman Asia Pacific Championship after the Queensland government agreed to host the triathlon event for the next three years. The move came after next March’s race in Victoria was cancelled amid claims by organisers that a same weekend clash with the Melbourne Grand Prix made the event “unmanageable” (‘Ironman canned’, The Times 2/11/15). The state government claimed there was no reason for organisers to cancel next year’s race. The triathlon was hosted in the south east of Melbourne, beginning in Frankston and ending at St Kilda with the bike stage taking place along Eastlink after the swim stage at Frankston.

Lucky number ‘157’ for developer A PLAN to build an apartment complex housing 157 apartments in Seaford was given the go-ahead by Frankston councillors at this month’s public council meeting. Councillors narrowly voted four-three to approve the planning application by developer Planning Horizon Australia for a 12-metre high four-storey building at 78-83 Nepean Hwy after an at times feisty debate about the project’s merits. There were 32 objections from community members about the development with many feeling the apartment complex was an inappropriate overdevelopment in the area.

A council officers’ report had recommended the planning permit be granted subject to conditions including the management of acid sulphate soils at the site to avoid pollution of Kananook Creek. Cr Glenn Aitken praised the architectural design of the planned building but said the number of apartments was too high. “The stumbling block is the … amount of individual living places on a parcel of land,” he said. “I would have found it more supportable had the density had been less intense.” Cr Colin Hampton was pleased the developer “has gone out of his way

to provide adequate car parks … but when you look at the number of apartments on the site and the size of the site and also the neighbourhood character within that area – this is a dramatic overdevelopment of that site”. The apartment complex will have 248 car parking spaces, more than the minimum 188 requirement for such a development’s size. Councillors who backed the planning application believed the apartment complex would not become “a slum” as feared by several objectors. “The design is attractive. It’s not boxy, it’s not overwhelming,” Cr Rebekah Spelman said.

“The area is an upcoming area and luxury living is in demand by people with disposable incomes. On such a large site we really have to expect plans for vast developments.” Cr Michael O’Reilly said there are not enough one and two-bedroom apartments in Frankston. “It is 157 apartments but it is an extremely large block. In modern society more and more people are living on their own.” He said Census figures showed 26.1 per cent of people in the Frankston area lived on their own and 32.9 per cent lived in a couple but only 3.2 per cent of dwellings in the area are single-bedroom apartments.

“The property values along the Nepean Highway are increasing dramatically,” Cr O’Reilly said. “This will not be in any way, in my opinion, a slum. It’s a nice looking development.” Crs Sandra Mayer, O’Reilly, Spelman and Suzette Tayler voted to approve the development. Crs Aitken, Cr Hampton and mayor Cr James Dooley opposed the planning application. Crs Brian Cunial and Darrel Taylor were absent from the meeting. Objectors can now appeal to VCAT about the decision. Neil Walker

Looking to future: VCAL coordinator Rowly Richardson, left, and principal Amadeo Ferra, right, with VCAL scholarship recipient Aleks Radenovic at McClelland Secondary College. Picture: Yanni

Hands on approach a winner for Aleks A FRANKSTON student is one of the first recipients of a new VCAL scholarship launched earlier this year. McClelland Secondary College student Aleks Radenovic, 16, has been awarded a Lynne Kosky Memorial Scholarship from the state government to help him work towards his goal of becoming an industrial electrician. The Year 10 student plans to study the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) instead of the VCE next year and the grant will enable $5000 annually to be directed towards his education costs. Teacher Rowly Richardson said Aleks’ mother passed away after an eight-year battle with cancer and he now lives with his uncle and aunt. The school put forward the teenager as a candidate for the scholarship since he had shown a willingness to overcome personal hurdles and further his education. “He’s someone who really values his education so we put him forward as someone who epitomises what’s VCAL is all about. Aleks said ‘I don’t want to go to uni – I want to use my hands’. Without noticing it, he’s put

a lot back into the community over time.” VCAL students at the school often work on repair jobs at community venues. Aleks said he is “pretty happy” to receive the scholarship. “It’ll make a big difference because I won’t have to worry about costs or anything. I can just focus on what I want to do.” The Lynne Kosky Memorial Scholarship is named in memorial of the former Labor education minister who was diagnosed with cancer and died late last year, aged 56. Gemma-Mae Stemp, from Kurunjang Secondary College in Melton, was the other recipient of the scholarships in their first year. Deputy Premier James Merlino said the scholarships pay “testament to Lynne’s tireless efforts in ensuring that Victoria’s education and training system remains accessible to everyone.” “Congratulations to our two recipients, Ms Stemp and Mr Radenovic. They are both excellent examples of how our dedicated schools and teachers are supporting hard working young Victorians to be their best.” Neil Walker

More arrests over carjacking Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au MORE arrests follow the alleged carjacking of a 2008 Ford XR6 sedan in Bartlett St, Frankston South, 2.40am, Friday 6 November. A Keysborough youth, 17, and Springvale South man, 21, were charged last week. Earlier, a 15 year old, of Patterson Lakes, was arrested and charged with car theft, as well as serious driving offences. The pair was allegedly among a group of up to five men in a stolen BMW X5 which rammed the car, being driven by a 20-year-old man, and then threatened him with a shotgun and a handgun before stealing it. The group then drove off in the two cars, with the BMW involved in a fatal collision, Monday 9 November, in Mordialloc. The Keysborough youth was arrested at his home, Tuesday, and charged with armed robbery, assault and theft of motor cars. He was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Children’s Court on 11 December. The 21 year old was charged with armed robbery, assault, three counts of theft of motor car, possess drug of dependence and other related offences. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today (Monday). Both were arrested by Frankston Embona taskforce detectives and the Dog Squad. The Ford, with original registration plates SAM 95, has not been recovered. The pair is among several people police would like to talk to in relation to a spate of recent crimes and car thefts, Detective Senior Constable Marty O’Brien, of the Embona Armed Robbery Task Force, said. Another teenager, 18, of Endeavour Hills, was

arrested the previous week at a house in Gweno Av, Frankston, over the carjacking and theft of the BMW – stolen from a house in Doncaster earlier in the month – and charged with similar offences. Both are suspected of being members of the Apex gang, whose members have been involved in crime sprees throughout the south-eastern suburbs. Police bemoan the “enormous number of offences” being committed by various crime gangs – not just Apex. They say recent arrests have “upset the momentum” but that other gang members will probably “step up” to fill the void. “I am glad we have interrupted them; we have made big inroads on the local front,” Detective O’Brien said. The rise and prominence of youth crime gangs, perhaps with as many as 60 members often linked through cultural ties, is weighing heavily on police. “They gather along tribal and cultural lines but they don’t respect their real culture,” Detective O’Brien said. “A number of intervention programs have been attempted but these have failed to curb their criminal activities. “I plead with the parents of these youths to scrutinise their behaviour and associations.” The joining of Maori and Sudanese gangs on crime sprees over the past 12 months is of special concern. So is the apparent realisation, especially by Islander gangs, that they can use their physical size and weight to intimidate local youths. “We are getting to the stage where local youths won’t walk down the streets of Frankston anymore because they fear trouble,” Detective O’Brien said.

Plan to grow garden ‘food forest’ BACKYARD blitzes are all the rage but a garden makeover with a difference is underway in Seaford. Volunteers are hard at work creating a “chemical free food forest” at Newton St. The Seaford Community Food Forest Garden will aim to give visitors hands on experience of permaculture principles used to grow food. Permaculture designer Mithrael Dumais has teamed up with Swinburne University lecturer Matthew Mitchell, Riviera Preschool Centre manager Rebecca Hammond and John Mackenzie to spend time establishing the food forest garden. Permaculture is the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient. “Once established, the local kinder kids, playgroups, primary schools and community members will be invited

to events to further raise money for our extensive edible garden paradise and to create a suitable place to facilitate permaculture workshops for the community to get some hands on life skills,” Ms Dumais said. “We support the pollinators, Indigenous native plants and ‘leave no trace and conscious play’ spaces. We now have approval to keep bees, run bee awareness workshops and have chickens and guinea pigs.” The group aims to raise $10,000 to buy water tanks and outdoor structures using sustainable building techniques in the garden. Businesses who donate more than $250 will have names added to a contributors’ wall to let visitors know about their contribution to the community space. See gofundme.com/seafordfoodforest for further project and donation details.

Facing the reality of domestic violence A CONFRONTING but important project focused on domestic violence is on display at Chisholm TAFE’s campus in Frankston. The ‘Counting Women’ T-Shirt Project, a student initiated display, displays a T-shirt for each individual woman in Australia murdered by a partner or ex-partner this year. Each T-shirt lists the woman’s name and details where possible and is accompanied with relevant newspaper articles and a blackboard updated with the current death toll, a shocking 78 so far in 2015. Chisholm group coordinator of community services Dr Ilsa Evans said the project had been a pivotal assignment for Diploma of Community Services students. “Highlighting this topical issue is of critical importance to all members of our community and we see family violence not just a personal issue - but a community one,” Dr Evans said. “We want this project to be an important representation

of this serious topic and ensure our community understands the impact it causes”. The project was started after guest speaker Rosie Batty, Australian of the Year, visited Chisholm TAFE’s Time to Change community forum to discuss family violence. The students aim to use research from Destroy The Joint, an online community for gender equality in Australia, to maintain the display as an ongoing visual representation of domestic violence. Last Wednesday (25 November) was White Ribbon Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness to stop men’s violence against women, since more than one woman per week is killed by a current or former partner in Australia. People are being urged to speak out and report domestic violence to police. See whiteribbon.org.au for details. Anyone who has experienced, or is at risk of, family and domestic violence and/or sexual assault can call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) for counselling and help. Call 000 in cases of emergency.

THE Frankston Motorcycle Park is open to motocross riders again. The gates were opened up again for access to the tracks this month. Frankston Council, the Frankston City Motorcycle Park Club and Motorcycling Victoria agreed that MV should oversee the park’s operations for an 11-month trial period, starting this month, after the death of 25-year-old Danny Edlington in a collision on the main track in April. The motorcycle park was shut down by council, as landlord of the premises, for several months until agreement on the future running of the facility could be reached. Motorcycling Victoria CEO Wayne Holdsworth said the body had “developed a good relationship” with council and the club committee members. “Whilst we don’t have the level of experience that the Frankston City Motorcycle Park Club have in managing such a facility we do still have significant experience in this space and feel suitably qualified to provide more than adequate processes and programs to see the park develop and run with an improved safety and efficiency,” Mr Holdsworth said in a statement issued last week. “Subsequent to the dreadful accident that occurred over Easter

2015, MV were contacted by Frankston Council to guide them on what the next steps should be and what we felt was the best outcome for all.” Mr Holdsworth hit out at “keyboard warriors” who criticised MV during the protracted negotiations to reopen the park. “Just for the record, the social media posts had no influence whatsoever in MV’s decision to guide the parties through this situation. Genuine, responsible and respectful representation and discussions by people do, however, make a difference.” He noted: “Whilst we understand that the governance that is now in place at the facility seems to some as draconian, this is our only means to mitigate the risk attached to this sport. We make no apology for trying to make this sport as safe as we can consider the risk associated with it.” The MV chief thanked club president Ralph Ridley and committee member Paul Finley for their “outstanding” work over the past few months to have the park reopened.

It’s all about going fishing for therapy Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THERE’S something about fishing. Rain, hail and shine, anglers are always out there casting a line. Sheltering from the weather or running to see what’s happening when someone’s reeling in something that’s obviously bigger than the baited hook, anglers can be a social bunch. The delights of casting a line, the patience required and, yes, skill, are all the things that Glenn Couper uses to bring friendship, companionship and healing to a variety of people who often find themselves marginalised in mainstream society. A Frankston resident, Mr Couper’s fishing-based work with people with mental illness, autism and physical disabilities seems boundless. His story of helping those in need began when he suffered a work accident which left him in a wheelchair, unable to work again. On a disability pension, he would regularly go fishing and frequently attract admiring glances with his success, particularly in hooking snapper at Mornington. Gradually he became known as the go-to guy for advice on fishing. “If someone in a wheelchair could cast further than able-bodied people he must know something,” Mr Couper says. “I would see kids who had no idea [about fishing] left at the pier by their parents and show them to how to set a rig and fish.” A regular at Mornington pier, Mr

Couper’s reputation spread and he was eventually invited to do a show on Radio RPP: That’s The Thing About Fishing. From there it was not too much of a leap for him to start helping the depressed and disabled. Now out of the wheelchair but still with seven pins in his left ankle, Mr Couper heads an organisation with the same name as the radio show. “My catch slogan is ‘you can’t change the world but you can change one life at a time’. It’s all about changing lives for the better,” Mr Couper says. “We’re using fishing for therapy.” That’s The Thing About Fishing (TTTAF) has a website built with $2700 from Frankston Council, which was arranged through Cr Rebecca Spelman and Mr Couper has wasted no time in telling Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new mayor

Cr Graham Pittock that the organisation now needs a trailer for carrying fishing gear. When talking about the “comradeship and mateship” afforded by TTTAF, Mr Couper gives examples of men “locked in their houses for years with severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks” who now not only go fishing but also help others. One man now regularly cooks meals with the Salvation Army for needy families at the Pines, in Frankston North. “Being introduced to fishing gives people something to cling onto,” Mr Couper says when explaining what the arranged fishing days are all about. “We have no hidden agendas and, if they’re lucky, they can also catch a fish.” To find out more about the organisation go to thatsthethingaboutfishing.org.au or call Glenn Couper on 0457 363 701.

Helping out: The 47 kayakers who went fishing off Mt Martha and Sunday 8 November helped raise money for That’s The Thing About Fishing (TTTAF), a group that uses fishing as a therapy.

Christmas is Just Around the Corner

Program tackles ‘risky drinking’ among oldies AN “alarming increase” in alcohol and other drug-related problems by elderly residents is being tackled by healthcare professionals in what’s billed as an Australian first. Peninsula Health’s Alcohol and Other Drug Services Program manager Stephen Bright will present the guide at a conference, Thursday. “When we think about who experiences harm caused by alcohol, most people think about young people,” Dr Bright said. “However, data shows the rate of risky drinking among young people has been decreasing, while risky drinking among older adults has been increasing. “There is a similar trend with regard to the consumption of cannabis. This is very concerning.” Dr Bright says “false assumptions” lead to older residents feeling they can’t ask for help. “Older adults are less likely to engage with traditional treatment services,” he said. “They may perceive such services to be for younger people, or lacking mobility access or an appropriate ambience. Overseas, numerous services have been developed specifically for older adults.” Dr Bright said Peninsula Health’s Older Wiser Lifestyles (OWL) – an older-adult-specific treatment service – provided early intervention through community development and age-specific treatment services. Failing to tackle this growing issue now will have a major impact on future healthcare costs – especially given the rapidly ageing population, he said. OWL team leader Katherine Walsh said: “Older adults represent a growing population who are experiencing a range of AOD-related harms that are often very specific to this population. “For example, they often take medications that adversely interact with alcohol, or have medical co-morbidities (more than one illness) that are

exacerbated by alcohol, yet healthcare practitioners often do not ask them about their use of alcohol or drugs based on false assumptions. “Not asking about drug use and drinking patterns and levels can result in healthcare professionals treating what they believe to be the symptoms of a medical problem, when, in fact, the symptoms are actually related to the use of alcohol or other drugs.” Peninsula Health partnered with Flinders University to develop the first ever Australian guide for healthcare professionals.

Balnarring Picnic Racing Club

NEWS DESK

Christmas Meeting

The Balnarring Picnic Racing Club will be holding their Christmas meeting on Saturday December 5. This is the meeting where many companies and family groups attend and have their staff & family Christmas parties in the beautiful grounds of the racecourse. Much work goes into preparing the grounds and course for the day and the following is just a small insight into what occurs before the racing commences. Michael Binney is a Vice President of the club and as track manager his race day commences well before the crowds arrive. It is around six o clock in the morning at the Balnarring racecourse. As the light starts to lengthen over the racecourse, a lone horse gallops around the track with a former jockey on the horses back. Having a horse gallop over the racecourse on the morning of the race meeting is a requirement of Racing Victoria. As the track manager my role is to get feedback from the rider as to what condition the track is in. After the gallop is completed, and over the preceding two days prior to the meeting some ninety readings have to be taken from given points around the track. These readings are taken with a device called the “Penetrometer.” Armed with all of the above information I then make an assessment of what rating the track shall be for the days racing. Once I have made my assessment of the track rating, I send that information to Racing Australia who must receive it by 7am. Every race club that race that day must comply with the regulations regarding track ratings. The reason that the readings have to be submitted by 7am is for trainers to assess whether any horses they have racing that day will handle the track conditions. If they a trainer decides that the track condition may not suit there horse or its chance of winning, they can scratch the horse. But they the trainer is also bound by the rule that states, if they do not scratch the horses prior to 7.30 DP WKH\ PD\ LQFXU D ˉQH 7KLV DUWLFOH JLYHV \RX D ORRN EHKLQG WKH VFHQHV RI ZKDW KDV WR EH GRQH WR conduct a race meeting.

deserved praise for his bravery. “He’s a novice, he’s just started. “It was a huge effort for him to go back out. “We got smashed by two-metre waves and it was very rough. “It was all very upsetting for the four we assisted and the girl, particularly, was very distressed. “We were there for half an hour before the other services arrived and yet, by that time, the other man had been swept a kilometre down the beach to where the sand finishes and the rock wall starts.”

Armed robbers hit bottle shop TWO ARMED men robbed a Carrum Downs bottle shop earlier this month. Police say the two men, wearing bandanas over their faces and armed with tomahawks, entered the Hall Rd outlet at 8.55pm, Monday 9 November. One approached a male staff member at the front counter while the other threatened another staff member near the fridge area and then walked him to the front of the store. The men demanded cash and the staff members complied. The men drove off in a white Ford sedan with distinctive black alloy wheels and number plate 1DQ4FS. It was last seen travelling along Hall Rd. No one was injured in the robbery. The men are of Pacific Islander appearance. One is described as being 180cm of solid build wearing a grey hoodie, black pants and peaked cap. The other is described as 183cm of solid build. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

The lack of emergency assistance personnel has prompted Mr Edwards to call for regular lifesaver patrols, or even a manned club booth, at the southern end of the beach under Oliver’s Hill. Frankston Lifesaving Club members assisted in the search for the missing man alongside other emergency services, and manned the radio at the clubhouse. “This unfortunate incident is further evidence that there needs to be greater awareness of the aquatic risk surrounding the Frankston pier and general foreshore in this area,” president Tim Cutrona said.

Servo robbed twice THE same man is responsible for two robberies at the BP service station, Carrum Downs, in the early hours of 19 and 24 November. The man allegedly stole a quantity of cigarettes on both occasions after using a jemmy bar to smash a window near the cash register and filling a backpack. Stock valued at $150 and $400 was taken in the raids. Detective Senior Constable Gavin Hiku, of Frankston CIU, said the man appeared to be in his 20s. CCTV footage shows him wearing a grey Adidas hoodie, wearing gloves and carrying a backpack.

Trailers easy targets TRAILERS left unattended and unlocked in front gardens or on nature strips are proving tempting targets for thieves. Up to 13 trailers have been stolen in the Frankston and Mt Eliza areas over the past month. Frankston detectives on Thursday 19 November charged a Frankston man with the theft of two trailers from properties in Seaford and Frankston. Detective Leading Senior Constable Richard Thomson, of Frankston CIU, said Mt Eliza, particularly, had been “hit pretty hard”. “Stealing a trailer is an easy crime to commit and cover up,” he said. “The trailers can be rebirthed and on-sold or cut up for parts or scrap metal, and their ID numbers can easily be removed.”

LETTERS Restore habitat I was shocked and horrified to read the editorial by Barry Morris regarding with Ecologist Jeff Yugovic (‘Fox seen as answer to possum problem’, The Times 16/11/15). I cannot believe an educated person would offer such a short sighted method to the issue of dying eucalypts in Mt Eliza and Mt Martha. To suggest that destroying the sanctuaries of native ringtail possums so that they will be forced to go to the ground in the hope they will be taken by foxes is so unacceptable. When the possums are gone and the foxes are a big issue, what then? Foxes maim and sometimes kill small dogs, what then? This whole problem began when we brought in animals that are feral to this country. We chopped down trees and removed habitat forcing the native animals to do what they have to survive. Their predators were most likely killed by feral animals and destruction of their habitat and Mr Yugovic offers this idea. It will only cause more issues. Why not try to reinstate the natural predators by setting aside areas that are native habitat for them and controlling or eliminating the fox issue. I have a nesting box in a peppermint tree I planted and it has ringtail possums living in it. I love watching them come out at night sometimes with joey babies on their back. They co-exist without any issues. Plant more trees and look at the long term picture. Mary Madigan, Langwarrin

l have heard it all now, using foxes to control ringtail possums in Mt Eliza and Mt Martha (‘Fox seen as answer to possum problem’, The Times 16/11/15). Does Ecologist Jeff Yugovic understand the behaviour of foxes and their eating habits. People often say to me because we are killing the foxes we are now in a rabbit plague. That is an old wives’ tale. A fox may catch a young rabbit and eat it but, like us, they change their diet all year

round. Do we eat chicken seven nights a week? l don’t. Foxes will kill chickens for fun but l have never heard of them killing possums for fun, they will kill a few to eat. Foxes are in the top 10 of the most destructive pest animals in Australia and we don’t need to protect them on the Mornington Peninsula, we have enough as it is, around 12 per square kilometre. Please come up with a better plan. Leigh Swan, Rosebud

Possibly they will then be inspired to create a native wildlife refuge in their own gardens. Jasmine Wigley, Somers

Overhaul tax I think Australia’s tax system needs a complete overhaul. The federal government could look at models in other countries like the United States and Singapore. The states should be able to raise more tax instead of relying on handouts from Canberra. The GST could be a state tax instead of a federal tax where each state is responsible for raising revenue from it and at a percentage they see fit and retain every dollar that is raised. Of course, the percentage will be competitive to the other states so basically the same, like 12 or 15 per cent. In the US the states are responsible for raising more tax than they do in Australia, including some income tax. In Singapore the income tax is a low flat rate like 10 per cent but superannuation is 40 per cent which acts like a personal bank for such things as home loans. I would like to see all stamp duty tax abolished to make way for a rise in GST and then maybe abolish capital gains tax, but that’s a federal tax. While the tax system is being reformed the governments need to drive costs down as they seem to be spiralling out of control. Patrick Geeves, Somerville

Thrilled by nature I'd like to celebrate the wonderful Wooleys Beach reserve at Crib Point. Yesterday I wandered along the bush path, tall gums overhead, scented flowering shrubs and bushes with native grasses bordering the earthen path. Magical, the sounds of birds chirruping and the air scented with native flora and sea breeze. Minutes into my walk I glanced up to see a boobook owl pop its head out of a tree hollow, a few more steps and a big blue tongue lizard sunbathing on the path. I started to really look around as I walked, two currawongs flew past, finches, parrots, honey eaters, native birds in profusion. Not one Indian minor. I looked up, a koala waking from his midday snooze, further along an echidna digging up one of the many ant nests. Ant nests of every equation, tiny bush ants, honey ants and big, red bullants. As I glanced down I saw a discarded snake skin, thankfully a sign of a recently departed renewed tiger snake. All this wildlife flourishing in this fragmented tiny sliver of remnant native bush. Its own ecosystem layered with life. With the recent over enthusiastic cutting down of trees and removal of native vegetation all over the peninsula, it is really important to educate people about what we are losing, one tree at a time. I encourage everybody to visit Wooleys Beach to experience its beauty and wildlife.

Attention Schools, sporting clubs & community groups

Free advertising listings Each month the Frankston Times will run a Community Events page, where your school or organisation can promote upcoming events, fund raisers, social events, etc. at no charge. Decoration day: Riders at last year’s Peninsula Toy Run show off their machines in the Frankston pier car park. Picture supplied

Santas on motorbikes YOU know the Christmas season is close when you see Santas on motorbikes. Vic Trikers and Ulysses Bikers are holding the 15th annual Peninsula Toy Run from Frankston to Rosebud on Saturday. Riders will assemble in the car park at Frankston pier from 7.30am and depart in convoy at 9.30 sharp. The run heads down the Nepean Highway to Rosebud via Mornington and Dromana, picking up donations on the way. Organiser Phil Matthews of Ulysses Club’s Mornington Wanderers branch said the ride was open to all motorcyclists who enjoy travelling in convoy and want to put a smile on the faces of less fortunate people.

“We get between 700 and 1000 riders each year so it’s quite a spectacle,” he said “Families are welcome to come to the pier and see several hundred decorated bikes and riders. It will be an awesome sight. “The competition for best decorated rider and best decorated bike is always popular.” Judging is from 8.30-9am. Donations of new unwrapped toys and canned or packaged food are welcome. Donations go to Southern Peninsula Food For All. They can be dropped off at several locations in the car park or call Phil Matthews on 9766 0758, 0412 532 227 or email peninsulatoyrun@hotmail.com to arrange collection. Mike Hast

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Xmas treat for Langwarrin soldiers Compiled by Melissa Walsh ON and after 1st inst, the morning mail for Melbourne will close at 9.15 a.m, in lieu of 7.55 a.m. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale at the Mechanics’ Institute, Mornington on Friday next of household furnishings in the assigned estate of Mrs A. E. Bell. *** THE “Wattle,” Club will hold a euchre party and dance in aid of the Wounded Soldiers’ fund, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday 11th inst. Good prizes will be given to the successful players and at the conclusion of the play a short dance will be held. *** THE Archbishop of Melbourne will be in Frankston on Thursday evening next, when a Confirmation service will be held at ten minutes past eight at St Paul’s Church. Candidates for Confirmation will be presented by Rev G. A. Kitchen, Vicar of Frankston and Rev R. H. L. Croker, Vicar of Aspendale. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a big yarding of stock. At the same time they will offer for sale on liberal terms the farm of Mr A. Jacobs, situated two miles from Mornington, on the corner of Hastings and Balnarring road, containing about 12¾ acres. ***

THE opening of the tennis season was celebrated at Somerville on Saturday last, when a team from the Naval Base engaged the local players. After an enjoyable afternoon’s sport, victory rested with the home team. Refreshments were provided for the visitors and public by Mr G. Keast, who has been re-elected to the position of President of the Somerville Club. *** AT a public meeting held at Mordialloc during the week, Cr. White presiding, it was resolved to make an effort to give the soldiers at Langwarrin Camp a Xmas treat. A strong committee was formed, and £30 was collected at the meeting. Mrs Coyle was deputed to act as organiser and collector at Frankston, and she will be pleased to receive donations in cash or kind, which will be acknowledged through these columns. Five pounds has already been collected to date. We expect a liberal response to such an appeal. *** The wedding of Mr William Herbert (Paddy) Gomm, ‘”Glenboya” Somerville, to Jean, eldest daughter of the late William Firth and Mrs Firth, “Orkney Farm”, Somerville, was quietly celebrated at St Auselm’s Church of England, Middle Park, on November 20th, the Rev A. P. McFarlane being the officiating clergyman. After the ceremony the party motored to the residence of Mrs J. D.Graf’s “Arundel”, Bloomfield

road, Ascot Vale (sister of the bridegroom) where the wedding breakfast was partaken of, and a very enjoyable time was spent, the happy couple left later for a short honeymoon. *** AT the conclusion of the business of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council on Thursday, Driver A. G. Young, who is at present on a furlough after having served some fifteen months at the front, received a warm welcome from the President and Councillors assembled. Congratulatory remarks were made on his return and hopes expressed that he would soon be fully restored to health. Driver Young, in responding, thanked the Crs for the unexpected honor they had conferred upon him, and said that as soon as he was fit he was prepared to resume his duties at the front. *** THE following is a report of a combined meeting of the Tyabb ladies Red Cross branch, with A. N. A. committee, forwarded to us by the secretary: —At the invitation of the Combined Picnic and A.N A. day committee, the Tyabb Ladies Red Cross branch met them in conference on Friday night, 26th ultimo. It was extremely gratifying to the combined committee to note the intense interest taken by the ladies in the doings of the committee, by such a large attendance. The chairman, on opening the meeting, gave a short, descriptive account of the doings and future aims of the committee, and

in his concluding remarks called for suggestions from the ladies as to the most fitting way they thought they could help best on A.N.A. day. After a general conversation it was finally decided that a Grand Fete should be held on the recreation ground on A.N.A. day, that the ladies would supervise the stalls, and other special items of interest, while the gentlemen carried out a programme of amusing competitions within the arena. *** THE usual good attendance was again present at the Red Cross social, on the 19th ult. The fund will benefit to the extent of over £3. The sum of £2 11s was also raised by raffling a handsome home-made cosy, and a bottle of champagne, both gifts of Mrs L. Nichol. Mr H. Simcock, of Somerville, succeeded in winning the champagne, and Miss E. Hollier the cosy. This local branch has received a free roll of flannel, valued at £3 12s from the Central Depot, for having purchased a like amount during November. Up to the present the ladies have been making up two of these rolls into garments each month. Up to the present time very little progress has been made by the fruitgrowers’ association towards taking over the Government Cool Stores. The committee found that there are many problems to be faced, and that some consideration is necessary before taking the last step. ***

REFERENCE was recently made in “The Age” to a family of seven sons, all of whom were enlisted for active service. This record has now been equalled by the family of Mrs Fisher, of Newell street, Footscray, who also has seven sons serving in the Expeditionary Force. Brigadier-General R. E. Williams, State Commandant, stated on Thursday that he had received the following particulars with regard to the family. The names of the seven sons were as follows:—Sergeant-Major E. Fisher, D.C.M., who also saw service in South Africa; Lieutenant W. Fisher, of Frankston, twice wounded at the Dardenelles; Sergeant T. J. Fisher, wounded at the Dardenelles; Sergeant-Major T. R. Fisher; Corporal M. J. Fisher, killed in action at the Dardenelles ; Private G. Fisher, and Private Eli Fisher.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The unbearable lightness of being an idiot By Stuart McCullough PITY the youth. Once you could be young and behave like a complete twerp and (relatively speaking) very few people would know about it. It was all part of growing up. You could do or say something irretrievably stupid, make a total goose of yourself and learn something from the experience. With any luck, these missteps might even make you a better person. The rules, however, have changed. Now we have the Internet and all kinds of social media and the means by which to make a huge spanner of yourself in front of a vast audience have never been more accessible. A few weeks ago, a private school student succeeded in humiliating himself by making some stupid comments on Facebook. In short, he lorded it over his fellow students solely because he’d attended a private school. He even went so far as to thank his parents for having the vision to send him to such a prestigious educational institution before imploring fellow students to say ‘hi’ to him one day in the future, when he’s their boss. Not so very long ago, if such thoughts had been expressed aloud, they’d have been greeted with incredulity, some name-calling and an atomic wedgie. But it doesn’t work like that anymore. Nowadays, being an adolescent who acts like a dill isn’t something done in comparative private. Rather, it can now land you on the front page of a major metropolitan newspaper. That, in turn, means a whole bunch of people who are older and, at least in theory, wiser will make comments about

your stupid comments that are, themselves, teetering dangerously towards being silly. The resulting maelstrom of absurdity that followed was a sight (and sound) to behold. I wouldn’t call it a ‘controversy’ as such. More a brouhaha of epic proportions (and if anything deserves

the mantle of ‘brouhaha’, it’s this). As I drove home from work, the repercussions of ‘Twerp-Gate’ were everywhere on the radio. People were ringing in, aching to pass judgment on the school kid responsible for these ill-considered remarks. Many could not contain their fury, treating the

Facebook remarks less like the ramblings of teenager on social media and more like a declaration of class war. Had both tar and feathers been readily available, doubtless many of them would gladly have metered out their own brand of rough justice. But it wasn’t just ordinary punters ringing in to vent their fury. Columnists wasted precious ink by providing detailed analyses of the Facebook comments and pontificating at length about what such comments meant about our society as a whole; the conflict between public and private education and how such remarks pose a threat to our broader social cohesion. All of it was nonsense. It’s worth remembering that the people writing these profoundly stupid things are paid professionals. The child responsible for the Facebook post was merely an amateur. As the talkback frenzy continued, I couldn’t help but wonder what it all meant. Plainly, there were some obvious lessons to be learned; chief among them being that the time has come to abolish talk back radio altogether given that it has so plainly outlived its usefulness. It’s also clear that ‘outrage’ is now a form of entertainment all by itself. Worst of all, it now seems that the space left for young people to make mistakes without being pilloried by a bunch of adults frothing at the mouth has been vastly reduced. After several days that made the Salem Witch Trials look like a minor misunderstanding in comparison, I began to reflect upon the many, many stupid things I did as a teenager. To take but one example of my youthful

exuberance gone horribly awry, for several years I sported a ponytail. I also had acid wash jeans, boots with buckles and earrings. No, really. I must have looked like a nerdy pirate. If that doesn’t deserve an entire afternoon of calls to the wireless, I don’t know what does. And yet, these atrocities were not front-page news. I was allowed to be a bit of an idiot until I figured things out for myself. Let me be blunt; the Facebook post was arrogant and silly. His peers told him so. In fact, the other students on the page held him accountable. That’s probably as it should be. Being young is a fragile thing. Humiliation is an inevitable part of growing up and it’s how you figure out where the boundaries are. I suspect that many of the outraged hoards pictured this young person basking in the controversy whilst luxuriating in a castle, sitting on an iron throne and stroking a bald cat whilst planning world domination. I very much doubt it. I suspect that the teenager, his parents and the school involved were all embarrassed. A little embarrassment can be a good thing, but it’s important to keep a sense of proportion. Upon reflection, maybe I should have called talkback radio. Perhaps even written a letter to the editor. If I were more technologically capable, I might even have gone onto Facebook. I wouldn’t have posted a rambling message of support. Just a photo. Of me as a teenager, complete with ponytail, earrings, boots and acid wash jeans. That, I feel, would have been enough. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

THE TEA PARTY’S JEFF MARTIN SET TO TAKE FRANKSTON BY STORM By Andrew Dixon Few rock bands exude a musical culture born of global influence with the finesse and polish of The Tea Party. 1.6 million albums sold worldwide under EMI and a cult Australian following are testament to that. The Canadian rockers took an extended break in 2005 but have come back with a vengeance, touring extensively in Australia and Canada and even releasing a new album since reforming in 2011. Frontman Jeff Martin now calls Australia home, having built a secluded musical retreat on 100 acres just outside of Byron Bay. He calls his new rural studio ‘Riverhouse’. “My roots are here now. It’s a very spiritual place, and a big part of my creativity,” Martin explains. It’s the birthplace of their latest album The Ocean at the End; a quiet place “with no clock on the wall” that’ll serve as a base for The Tea Party’s song writing efforts going forward. Moonlighting as a producer, Martin’s role with The Tea Party is two-fold. “Most of the time I’ll present a musical schematic to the band – a little riff, some lyrics, or something like that… and then as a producer, it’s like an architect going back to the first drawings after the building’s complete.” Without it, they just couldn’t have maintained their signature sound – this level of creative control is a rare gift for the eclectic musicians, from writing through to production. “The friendship that exists between the three of us, the longevity of the relationship going back to when we were five or six years old, that vast expanse of musical influence… it would be very hard to understand if you hadn’t been a part of it all along. You’d have to have a pretty vast musical encyclopedia!” “In the 90s I had a beautiful home in old Montreal… it’s where we created The Edges of Twilight and Transmission. Riverhouse reminds us of those wonderful times, where we were free to explore. The proof was in the pudding… this house provides the same thing. It’s pretty exciting to think of what might come in the next few years.”

They were trying times, both professionally and personally. “I wasn’t happy, I stopped looking after myself… I needed a break. I needed to find the reason for making music again, and my years in Ireland did that for me.” He describes a literal “addiction” to the band’s music, being “so much greater” than the sum of its parts. “In the years that the three of us were apart, what seemed like insurmountable differences began to look quite petty… it wasn’t about money or fame or anything like that – the power of the music that The Tea Party makes was something we just couldn’t stay away from.” Rather than jumping back into bed with EMI, the band’s currently making arrangements with a new label. “The three of us are concentrating on getting new music out there, celebrating it with the fans and doing some touring. We’re not the type of band to rest on our laurels, but watch this space!” In the meantime, the Jeff Martin will be getting back to his musical roots, revisiting the classic acoustic sound he mentioned for the pending Victorian tour. He’ll be appearing at Pier Live in Frankston for the southern leg, with other dates scheduled all over the state. “After the big, beautiful monster that The Tea Party is, I’m really looking forward to it!” Having recently completed The Edges of Twilight re-release tour on the big stages with the band, Jeff’s acoustic gigs will provide some contrast – more intimate venues and a spiritual edge, but the same stellar tracks and hypnotic voice oozing tranquillity and soul. Make sure you catch Jeff Martin at Pier Live in Frankston on Friday 11 December. Tickets from the venue (call 9783 9800) or www.moshtix.com.au

Not all bands manage to come back from such an extended hiatus. Fed up with the way The Tea Party was being handled, Martin left the band and Canada for the rolling plains of Ireland, where he

rediscovered his love for acoustic guitar. It’s where he raised his first kid, Jacob, and developed that 20/20 hindsight used to look back and see just what a powerful force the music of The Tea Party was for them all. “Things were changing at EMI. Everyone’s record sales were down, especially in rock music, and the record companies were scrambling… it became a case of too many cooks in the kitchen.”

Mounties in more strife PROVINCIAL By IT Gully Mt Eliza’s season went from bad to worse on Saturday, being bowled out for 121 against Long Island. Languishing just above Rye at the bottom of the ladder, the Mounties’ top order were brittle as the team slumped to 6/35. Nick Baron (26), Matt Travena (26) and Jordan Fuhrmann (22) were the only batsmen to break 20, while skipper Justin Grant again failed with the bat, making just 12 runs. Long Island’s opening bowlers

Scott Phillips and Andrew Tweddle were superb as usual. ‘Flippa’ bowled 21 overs and finished with sensational figures of 4/26, including 11 maidens. Tweddle was equally as impressive, claiming 4/44 from 21 overs. Long Island faced the last seven overs of the day and were 0/16 at stumps. The Peninsula Old Boys have already picked up the win against Pines. The Piners batted first on Saturday at the Peninsula School and were bowled out for just 87. Jarred Coad top scored for Pines with 32.

Adam Gailitis and Zac Fillipone were firmly in control with the ball for the Old Boys, with three and six wickets respectively. In reply, POB went for quick runs and batted for 34 overs, netting 7/104 before declaring and sending Pines back in. They’ll resume at 2/52. Crib Point is in a commanding position in its match against Langwarrin. The Magpies batted first and were in some early trouble, before Luke Herrington (49) and Matt Blake (80) took control. Henry Dol-

phin also contributed 33. Daniel Bray returned to the First XI for the Kangas and snared 4/56, while skipper Travis Campbell got some early breakthroughs and picked up 4/62. In reply, Langwarrin is 1/4 with opener Simon McEvoy back in the sheds. Baxter has set Sorrento a sizable task in their clash of titans. Daniel Warwick was back in the First IX and helped himself to 65, while Ben Metters scored 48 and Dale Irving 47. Chris King was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers, with 5/79. Sorrento

now sits at 1/14. Moorooduc has already beaten Rye. The Demons again failed to get to 100, such is their lack of confidence right now. Adam Bayly picked up 5/6 off 12 overs for the Ducs, including a devastating spell of 4/0. In reply, Mooroduc faced the final 36 overs of the day and finished on 4/98. Ben Williams opened the batting with 52. Mornington has left Somerville with some work to do after making 242.

Lions being tamed

DISTRICT

By IT Gully CARRUM is in a world of pain as it enters the second day of its match against Flinders. After bowling out Flinders for 227, Carrum slumped, scoring an ordinary 4/29 after facing the final 14 overs of the day. Boom recruit and skipper Andy Johnson again failed with the bat, caught by Simon Parrott off the bowling of Matt Burns for a blob. Johnson has just 54 runs in four hits for the season. Fellow recruit Jake D’Atri was also removed without troubling the scorers – his side was reeling when Shaun Foster – as usual – came to the rescue, hitting 18 runs to stop the carnage. Dwayne Field finished the day for the Sharks, bowling an impressive 2/0. Burns finished with 2/9. Earlier in the day, the bottom order did the job for Flinders after they too found strife early at 5/47. Shane Beggs hit 49, Blake HoganKeogh 36 and Max Royal 47 to bring the home side 227 runs in 65.3 overs. Timmy Clements also scored a respectable 32. Liam Dobson was the best of the Carrum bowlers, with 4/51. Mt Martha, despite scoring just 142 against Pearcedale, has a reasonable prospect of victory at the close of day one. The Reds batted first and made 142, with Jake Smart producing what we have come to expect with 71. The talented Sam Frawley stepped up to the plate for the Panthers and picked up 5/23, while ‘Mr Consistent’ Shayne Gillings claimed 2/24. The Reds needed to produce something special with the ball, and they did. Curtis Stone claimed 2/6 from eight overs to have Pearcedale 4/39. Chris Dew and Gillings are the not-

out batsmen, while Shane Maggs is not playing in this game. Boneo has set Main Ridge a massive target of 294 for victory after making their highest score (8/293) for some time. The Baden Powell juggernaut continues after the home side belted 7/314 against Delacombe Park. The Braves are sky high on confidence right now, and Tom Wood has been a sensation. He was right amongst the runs again on Saturday, scoring a clean century. It was his first three-figure performance for the year, having hit 78, 84, 7 and 79. Wood has 432 runs for the season, including 55 in the Jack Peacock Cup. Fellow opener Nathan Cassano was cruising to three figures too before being run out on 69. Rhys Elmi joined the action with 61, while Elias Carter was out in force with 45. Red Hill is cruising to victory against the Seaford Tigers, who were rolled for 130. Glenn Collett headlined the Hillmen attack with 3/30, while Lincoln Toy claimed 3/30 to give him 13 wickets for the season. Mattty Meagher topscored for the Tigers with 40 runs. In reply, the Hillmen are 0/59 from 22 overs. Heatherhill has set Seaford a target of 176 for victory. The Hills batted first with Kristian Miller at it again, scoring 54. Christian Heath supported him well with 48, but Faisal Payenda was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 4/45. Seaford is now 1/6.

Whelan show comes to town SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK’S Matthew Whelan can do anything on a cricket field. He’s extremely talented and his best is as good as we’ve seen. On Saturday against Skye, Whelan strode to the crease with his side in a spot of bother at 2/37, but left the ground with the team score at 301. Whelan had 174 next to his name. Together with Travis French, who scored 80, Whelan dominated the Skye attack and set the side up for a solid victory after completing 80 overs on 9/327. Pat Clinch picked up three wickets for Skye. Frankston YCW made tough work of batting their 80 overs against Dromana, scoring just over two runs an over to finish at 7/169. Jack Greenwood opened with 37 and Levi McLoughlin-Dore made 58 batting seventh to help the home side see out their overs. Aaron Kaddatz was the best of the Dromana bowlers with 2/17 from 13 overs. Hastings is less than 50 runs short of victory, with eight wickets in hand after dominating day one of their match against Balnarring at Thomas Barclay Reserve. Balnarring were bowled out for just 93, Tim Birch dominating with the ball for the Blues, claiming 4/16 from 20 overs and Luke Hewitt 3/26 from 18 overs. Isuru Dias chimed in at the end with 2/3 from 5.2 overs. In reply, Hastings lost their openers with a mere 12 runs, before talking control and finishing on 2/52. A 100-plus partnership between Pete Doughty and Matt Maher has Rosebud in a strong position against Ballam Park. The Knights will chase 243 for victory after Rosebud made 6/242, coming back from 6/137.

Motoring Live radio broadcast celebrates Alfa Romeo launch HEAD on down to Mornington Park this Thursday and see 3AW’s Neil Mitchell broadcast live, thanks to Bayside Alfa Romeo. He’ll be there from 8.30 through until midday, talking about the issues facing Melbourne and the country, as well as drawing the winner of “Neil’s Valuable Player” from a pool of weekly winners throughout the year. “Neil’s a doyenne of news broadcasters and he will be broadcasting from Mornington Park. It’ll be great for Mornington and great for the Peninsula – a unique event for locals and car enthusiasts alike”, says Brad Fitzsimmons from Bayside Automotove Group. “Plus we’re going to see someone drive away in a $30,000-plus Alfa Romeo Julietta.” Neil Mitchell will also be unveiling the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider – the vehicle’s Australian debut. “The 4C’s obviously a very unique car, there’s

about 100 in Australia, but this is the first Spider that’s been seen!” Each week the winner of “Neil’s Valuable Player” gets to drive an Alfa Romeo for the weekend, and goes into the draw to win the Guillietta at the end of the year. “This will be the second one given away through Neil Mitchell and 3AW. It’ll be a live broadcast this year, so it’s sure to be an exciting event. There’ll be coffee and food available on site, and the Alfa Romeo car club will be out in force, no doubt bringing a host of restored classic with them,” says Brad. “The car club could bring anything! It’s going to be a really fun event and really sums up the unique nature of Alfa Romeo – it’s not a car, it’s an Alfa Romeo!” Brad’s going to be there too, no doubt fielding questions about the new 4C Spider. He might even be taking orders!
