Message from the Premier & Minister to respond. These Victorians do an incredible job in keeping our state safe.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP

The Hon Lisa Neville MP

Premier of Victoria

Minister for Police and Emergency Services

But they can’t do it alone. We all have a responsibility to plan and prepare for fire.

Our emergency services are ready for a long, hot and dry fire season.

Whether you’re in the bush, near the beach, close to grassland or paddocks, you need to prepare now.

A record fleet of 50 aircraft and thousands of volunteers and career firefighters are ready

There are some simple steps you can take straight away to stay safe this fire season.

Make a fire plan and know your trigger to enact it. Talk to your loved ones and make sure they know the plan too. Know where you’ll get your emergency information from and have your emergency kit ready to go.

And for more information on how to prepare, visit vic.gov.au/knowfire.

Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

Prepare early for survival.

Danger lies in the healthy grass growth fed by spring rains, says CFA Assistant Chief Officer for the South East Region Trevor Owen.

The lush, tall grasslands are expected to quickly dry out to a fire hazard within a few weeks, Mr Owen said. Residents hit by the devastating Bunyip State Park fires in March will be particularly nervous.

The fuel loads remain high in surrounding forest at Maryknoll, Garfield and Bunyip. Even in suburban areas, parks and reserves carry high fuel loads of trees, shrubs and grass.

“Being prepared” is again the

key advice. Preparation, such as cutting back shrubs and trees to allow clear gate access for fire trucks, needs to happen now, not on the day of the fire. Also remember

“What’s more important is your life.” to remove mulch from around the base of homes, maintain sprinklers and water pumps in working order, get appropriate hoses and remove leaves from roof gutters.

Don’t expect fireys to save your property - especially in a high

fire-risk area on a severely hot day, Mr Owen says. “You can’t expect firefighters and volunteers to put themselves in danger to protect a property that they are unlikely to save anyway. “Last season, people’s assumptions were that we would.

“People need to accept responsibility and do what they can to protect themselves, not assume that a fire truck will be there.”

As hard as it is, Mr Owen says the best decision may be to leave earlier in the day and to accept your property might be destroyed.

‘Lifeline’ for Mt Martha North beach of the Commonwealth,” he said.

A spokesperson last week said the state government was “working with officers from the Commonwealth Department of Environment and Energy on a funding agreement for the transfer of funds to Victoria”.

“We will continue to work with the federal government to ensure their $1.5 million commitment gets the best outcomes for the beach and community.

“We know how important the Mount Martha North Beach area is to the local community – that’s why we asked experts to undertake a detailed analysis on how we maintain it into the future.”

The spokesperson added: “At this point, no decisions have been made on how this funding will be spent.”

Any new sand pumped from a nearby beach before the end of the year is intended as an interim measure before more concerted efforts, including the building of a 35-metre rock groyne, are completed by mid-2020.

The groyne is expected to give the introduced sand a solid bulwark and prevent it from being blown or washed away. This will stabilise the beach and reverse the almost total loss of sand which has undermined the beach boxes and left them sitting unsightly – and unsafe – on their stumps.

Mount Martha North Beach Group chairman Alan Farquhar said the group was “very happy” with the federal and most recent state government commitments. “When [Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister] Minister D’Ambrosio said in August that they were wiping their hands of the project we never accepted that that was the end point,” he said. “We thought there would always be a solution.”

A WELCOME about-face by the state government has thrown a lifeline to the Mt Martha North beach renourishment project.

Beachgoers and members of the Mount Martha North Beach Group were jubilant last week when the government moved towards accepting Commonwealth funds to replenish sand eroded by winter storms and, possibly, erect a rock groyne to help hold the sand in place.

This comes after a crowded August meeting at Mt Martha Life Saving Club at which the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) confirmed it had accepted a recommendation to take no action to “save” the beach and that natural forces would be left unchecked.

This caused Flinders MP Greg Hunt and Mornington MP David Morris, who is also the state Opposition’s environment, climate change and bay protection spokesperson, to accuse the state government of “abandoning the beach and its beach boxes”. (See MPs disagree with experts over beach’s survival The News 26/8/19).

It also put the state government at odds with Mr Hunt who had committed $1.5 million in Commonwealth funds towards beach renourishment works during the highly charged May federal election campaign.

Mr Hunt said last week the state government was now indicating it was willing to “reconsider its position” and would implement the replenishment program while developing a long-term plan. “I welcome this response to the clear and overwhelming views of the community and support

Budget confirms busy year Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ADVOCACY, community connection and financial prudency were cited as features of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s 2018-19 annual report released last week.

The mayor Cr David Gill said a major council initiative over the past year had been the creation of an innovation and advocacy unit to help it “advocate effectively on behalf of the community”.

He said this had enabled the shire and community to work successfully with Flinders MP Greg Hunt to help secure about $170 million in election-related funding, budget commitments and election promises.

“Other major advocacy initiatives include the Better Buses campaign, jet ski reform, more jobs through a marine industry precinct and drought proofing the peninsula through a major recycled water project proposal.”

An example of the council’s commitment to community consultation was its climate change community engagement strategy and declaration of a climate emergency, Cr Gill said.

“The strategy outlines our vision to become resilient to the impacts of climate change.

“The updated green wedge and biodiversity management plans also went through extensive public consultation.”

Cr Gill said the focus on consultation meant the budget “includes the largest number of communityinitiated projects the shire has ever

seen”.

The mayor thanked the Mornington Peninsula’s 26,000 volunteers – “including the more than 2200 who work directly with the shire who help make the peninsula a great place to live”.

Big ticket items reviewed in the annual report include: The $35.82 million Rosebud Aquatic Centre whose main building is under construction and Somerville Recreation Centre, which opened in May. It is described as “one of the most significant community infrastructure projects that Somerville and the shire has seen… and a great result for our community and sporting clubs”.

Other notable council achievements include the Green Wedge Management Plan and the review into waste, focusing on current operations and investigating alternatives to “promote avoidance, reduction, reuse and recycling and address the current crisis in recycling”.

The council is “in a strong financial position with strong cash flows, reserves and a solid balance sheet,” the budget reveals.

“The council has been able to respond well to the state government’s rate capping system and provide an increased surplus that has allowed more spending on capital works and services,” Cr Gill said.

Capital works during the year of $58.7 million were the main driver in increased net assets of $21.1 million. The shire’s loan balance was cut to $12.1 million after principal payments of $3.7 million were made during the year.

Like minds: Rupert and the mayor Cr David Gill see eye-to-eye on saving bees. Picture: Supplied

Rupert’s petition creates a buzz at council A SOMERS Primary School student has been a busy bee gathering more than 100 signatures on his petition to save the bees.

Rupert, 6, made a formal presentation at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s Tuesday 8 October meeting pleading for the council to guard against the poisoning of local bees.

He was backed up by 120 signatures from peninsula school children and residents confirming they support his stand.

Concerns about the safety of bees have been raised over fears Depart-

ment of Health officers will begin widespread “fogging” of the peninsula’s bushland areas in the fight against the Buruli virus. It is feared bees will become collateral damage.

The mayor Cr David Gill said it was “fantastic to meet such a young likeminded bee lover exercising his democratic right”.

“As a bee enthusiast and regular speaker about native bees, I applaud Rupert’s initiative and commitment to protecting our precious bee population,” Cr Gill said.

The mayor presented Rupert with

a bee hotel which mimics the natural habitat of most types of native bees and counteracts the global decline of bee populations caused by the growth of our towns and cities.

Rupert and his parents met the mayor and CEO at one of the shire’s Meet-the-Mayor sessions where Cr Gill suggested he attend a council meeting to present the petition.

Council moved that Rupert’s petition be presented to the council’s environmental protection unit for review and further comment.

Helping hand to beat loneliness

By David Corduff THE Connecting Communities forum attracted more than 200 people to the Peninsula Community Theatre, Thursday 31 October, and the feedback has been “very positive”.

Run by Peninsula Voice the forum sought to tackle issues surrounding loneliness and isolation and assess how they are affecting sufferers in the community.

The Mornington Peninsula has the most aged demographic in Victoria. While the focus may well skew to older folk, the guest speakers emphasised that loneliness and isolation are not simply issues associated with age.

People across all age groups can experience loneliness. The Rev. Tim Costello emphasised that as a community it is our responsibility to reach-out and offer a helping hand if we know someone is lonely.

Bec Lee, of Beyond Blue, shared her thoughts on how to open a conversation with someone who may be struggling with loneliness, for whatever reason. Dr Michelle Lim supported the anecdotal evidence with statistics gleaned from a major research project she recently completed, confirming that social isolation can be debilitating. Often the individual may not be able, or indeed choose, to reach-out for the help that is available.

Stigma also presents itself in the loneliness space … making it even more difficult for an individual to open up and share their situation.

Part of the brief given to the speakers was to offer “tools” for attendees to take away and to put into action in a practical way within their community. This was very successfully shared with our audience as they listened to tips they can use to break down the stigma and sensitivities confronting them.

Gabrielle Gordon, of Peninsula Voice, said: “The purpose of the forum was to highlight the issue of loneliness and isolation and provide some community based solutions. We were

very pleased how the forum dealt with what is a very complex topic shrouded in unnecessary stigma. It was a real testament to community working together.”

Support came from about 20 community organisations, including Mornington Peninsula Shire, Rotary Clubs, Mornington Secondary College, Padua College, the Information Centre, and Mornington Botanical Rose Garden.

Ms Gordon said Peninsula Voice “particularly liked the way the council got behind the event 100 per cent and had so many different representatives there on the night. It really showed that the council are working towards a more Connected Community.”

Peninsula Voice is committed to offering the community opportunities to listen to selected speakers as they share information on topical issues, she said.

Speaker on social justice: The Rev Tim Costello.

Vandals trash shelters THE all-too frequent vandalising of bus shelters along the 788 bus route from Frankston to Portsea has so irked Lindy Clarke that she called The News to complain.

“They are always getting smashed,” she said.

“I saw one vandalised near Tanti Park, also at Blairgowrie and four on Pt Nepean Road from Tootgarook to Rosebud. They were 500 metres apart.

“In one case a steel bollard had been thrown through the bus shelter window. I even got glass splinters in my sandals.

“In one damaged shelter there was an older lady with kids trying to find shelter from the wind.”

Ms Clarke said schoolies were often wrongly blamed for the vandalism. “It’s not schoolies, it

happens all the time,” she said.

The Department of Transport said several damaged bus shelters in Mornington had recently been identified and “would undergo repairs in the coming weeks”.

A spokesperson said: “This sort of behaviour is completely unacceptable and we encourage people who witness vandalism to report it immediately to the police.

“Damaged bus shelters can be reported to Public Transport Victoria on 1800 800 007 and we will act to have the repairs completed as quickly as possible.”

The Department of Transport contracts out the management and maintenance of bus shelters across Melbourne, and the contractor is responsible for cleaning and repairs.

Students turn back time in murder hunt Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

THE brutal – but as yet unsolved – murder of a girl at Mt Martha 66 years ago drew a team of Swinburne Online forensics-criminology students to the peninsula last week in a search of clues as to her killer.

The purpose of their investigation – chosen at random from other cold cases – was to move closer to identifying the man responsible and uncovering more leads to prompt the police to reconsider the case.

Shirley May Collins was a 14-yearold Reservoir girl driven to Mt Martha on the night of 12 September 1953 and bludgeoned to death in the driveway of a house along the Esplanade at Safety Beach. Her body lay there for three days before she was found. The case remains unsolved.

Despite the passing of more than two generations interest in the tragedy has not dampened the enthusiasm of the students led by forensic archaeologist and criminologist Louise Steding.

Dr Steding’s class met at Mt Martha House and on the old road where Shirley died, Wednesday and Thursday 30-31 October, for two days of intensive investigation. The university students were addressed by five speakers – all with different theories about what happened.

Adding to the drama, the local Frankston Theatre Group re-enacted the investigation using the actual words spoken at the original inquest into the death in 1954.

On the first day the students heard

from a range of speakers and then visited the crime scene to reconstruct the murder. On the second day they watched a re-enactment of the inquest.

Mt Martha residents were on hand to answer student’s questions. They included two nieces of the landowner where the body was found and also Shirley’s then-neighbour.

With the onsite investigation finished a chuffed Dr Steding is now preparing to take all unanswered questions to the police and to gain access to the official files.

Dr Steding said Shirley Collins’ friends and relatives had contacted her during the investigation. “I think we are on the right track [with the investigation],” she said.

“Some of us have it down to one direction with the killer blending within one particular group.”

The investigation determined there was no family involvement in her death. “Her foster mother visited her grave almost every day and her foster father was also broken,” Dr Steding said.

The person most likely responsible is someone Shirley knew well and was infatuated with – possibly an older man aged 21-35 years who has somehow remained in the background during the investigation. He appears to have picked her up in a car in Richmond as she walked down Punt Road on her way to a party on 12 September 1953. Meanwhile, Shirley’s pre-arranged escort to the party was waiting to meet her at Richmond station.

Shirley and the unknown man drove the hour to Mt Martha and pulled up,

seemingly at random, at the unoccupied holiday house. It is not known what, if any, connection she or the driver had with the property.

There, Dr Steding said it appeared Shirley and the man had walked, calmly, up the driveway together before she possibly rejected his proposition, turned and was then struck violently to the head with a full beer bottle. It was around 9.15pm.

She died in a hail of blows.

“It was someone known to her, someone with a lot to lose if she said

she was going to tell her mum,” she said. “Her clothing was in disarray as she was dragged backwards and the beer bottles they had with them remained unopened. He may have been left handed and left a shoe print on her thigh. It may even be that his car was damaged.”

Dr Steding said she would apply to the unsolved homicides department for the police records. “Who knows, if they have kept the bottle glass, we might be able to get some fingerprints.”

PENINSULA Grammar’s production of Hairspray JR is filled with laughter, romance and tuneful songs.

Adapted from the Broadway production that won eight Tony Awards, Hairspray JR - presented by the school’s Middle Years students - is a bold musical about one girl’s dream to dance and change the world.

It’s a show that celebrates diversity as it follows the story of spunky, plus-size teen, Tracy Turnblad, who has one big dream – to dance on the popular “Corny Collins Show”.

When she finally gets her shot, she’s transformed from social outcast to sudden star. In balancing her newfound power with her desire for justice, Tracy fights to dethrone the reigning Miss Teen Hairspray, Amber von Tussle.

With the help of her outsized mom, Edna, and guest DJ, Motormouth Maybelle, the rhythm of Tracy’s new beat just might prove unstoppable.

Don’t miss this family-friendly musical at the George Jenkins Theatre, Frankston, from November 13 – 15. For tickets, visit www.peninsulagrammar.vic.edu.au

‘Lifeline’ heartens beach users Continued from Page 1 He insisted the beach rescue efforts go further than saving the bathing boxes. “If there is no beach there will be no beaches boxes – it’s as simple as that.”

The state government spokesperson said the Mount Martha North Options Analysis report, by an independent coastal consultant, provided detailed modelling of engineering options to combat coastal erosion. “[It] showed that none of the options would restore sand or prevent erosion in the short or longterm along the entirety of the beach,” she said.

“The government had [previously] allocated funding to address erosion at Mount Martha North Beach, and if any of the engineering options in the report had been found to be feasible and effective, they would have been implemented.”

The spokesperson added: “We have no plans to remove beach boxes from Mount Martha North Beach.”

A SERVICE to honour the memory of Constable Angela Taylor, above, will be held at Mornington police station this week.

A plaque dedicated to Constable Taylor will be mounted beside an Angela Taylor rosebush during the service, Wednesday 13 November.

Constable Taylor’s family and friends, the Blue Ribbon Foundation, local police and senior police officers will gather to celebrate Constable Taylor’s life and recognise her service to the community.

Constable Taylor became the first policewoman in Australia to be murdered on duty when a car bomb was detonated in front of the Russell Street police headquarters on Easter Thursday, 27 March 1986. She suffered what would become fatal injuries and died 24 days later on 20 April 1986.

She was only 21.

Senior Sergeant Natalie Dollard said officers from Southern Metro Division 4 raised the funds for the plaque over the past year. “We wanted to formally recognise the Angela Taylor rosebush at the Mornington police station and

‘Quiet’ holiday just the tonic SOUTHERN Metro Division 4 had a “fairly quiet” Melbourne Cup weekend, according to Somerville Highway Patrol Sergeant David Collins.

“There was no road trauma over the five-day period, which is a very good primary outcome,” he said.

“Of the 4483 drivers breath-tested – up from 2400 last year – only 21 were processed for drink or drug-driving offences, down from 30 last year.”

The tests were conducted as part of Operation Furlong, which took in Melbourne Cup activities as well as the Peninsula Cup day at Mornington Racecourse, Sunday 3 November.

Police said on some occasions the man has stolen liquor twice in the one day after changing his clothes.

Anyone with information on the thefts or the identity of the man is urged to contact Senior Constable Leanne Marshall at Rosebud Police Station 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report to crimestoppersvic.com.au

ESCAPE – move quickly and quietly away from danger; If you can’t escape, HIDE – stay out of sight and silence phones, and TELL – call the police by dialling triple zero when it is safe to do so.

In the event of a state attack Victoria Police will provide further safety advice.

Government and emergency services are working hard to build a stronger and even more resilient Australia and to keep people safe and secure, police say.

Attack: what to do

So close to a fatality

ESCAPE, hide, tell: These three words are features of the government’s “public guidance in what to do in the case of an armed offender attack”.

Although Australia is a safe country, we are still at risk from attacks in crowded places and we need to do what we can both to prevent and prepare for them, the warning says.

30 October. Fun nearly turned into tragedy, with the tree impacting just behind the driver’s door.

The car disintegrated after the incident, prompting first responder Acting Sergeant Anthony Deason, of Somerville Highway Patrol, to assume the worst. “When I first saw the car I thought: ‘This has to be a fatality,’ he said. “It was a relief to find everyone was alive.

“Later, when I found out the circumstances, I thought: ‘When are these idiots ever going to learn?’”

A FRANKSTON South man survived against the odds when his black Honda Integra, right, skidded and hit a roadside tree on Moorooduc Highway, last week.

Police believe two 20-year-old P-platers, both from Frankston South, were racing each other away from the Frankston-Flinders Road roundabout when one lost control, Wednesday

It’s not “Fake News”

Meet Santa from 30th November 2019

Santa’s Place on the Peninsula is really leaving After nearly 20 years, Santa’s Place really is leaving Moorooduc.

Santa’s Place has grown over the years to become a tradition for families at Christmas time to come in, relax, and check out the array of new season products from traditional, colourful and unusual. A ride on the tractor to choose a Christmas Tree is always a hit with the children.

Santa’s Place has seen many well-known families from all walks of life as well as “Christmas Tragics” who just love everything Christmas. A few “scrooges” have also been dragged in to just sit in the coffee shop and enjoy the “serenity” of it all while their other halves shop (often sneaking a bit extra in their bags).

Santa’s Place can’t thank our regulars enough, some who have travelled from overseas, interstate and country areas every year. Your loyalty is greatly appreciated.

We have seen a lot of tears since announcing our closure with people telling us they have been customers since we first opened, and remind us of things like our little fibreoptic and lighting room upstairs when fibre-optics were the new thing.

Christmas Trees Available

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit us here at Moorooduc for the Christmas Shop’s last season. Christmas trees will still be available in 2020, when a tractor ride will take you around for your last photo opportunity.

Be sure to leave your emails so we can let you know what is happening and also let you know our new location for the Christmas shop.

New Christmas Shop location coming soon!

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston football premiers entertained Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Tuesday evening Mrs Parker, wife of Mr E. J. Parker, president of the Frankston Football Club, tendered a complimentary dinner to the premiers of the recent competition, at the Bay View Hotel.

There was a representative gathering of players and members of the Club.

Great care had been expended by the hostess in preparing for the occasion.

The banquet hall was a blaze of color composed of flags and floral effects with an artistic blending of red and black, representing the victorious team’s colors.

The Union Jack and Australian Flag appropriately occupied pride of place, and accorded perfectly with the sentiments of the guests.

It is a noteworthy fact that not less than 14 players out of 18 are Returned Soldiers.

Meeting on the evening of the first anniversary of the armistice gave added zest to the proceedings.

The table decorations were in keeping with the other excellent appointments, and reflected great credit on these responsible for the work.

Mr H. J. McCulloch occupied the chair, and he had on his right hand Mr E. J. Parker, the president, and on his left Mr W. Cain, captain of the premier team.

The Chairman gave the toast of The King and the company rose, and sang The National Anthem.

Mr Brierley presided at the piano.

In proposing the toast of the Premier Team Mr W. W. Young said the task allotted him afforded him great

pleasure.

The winning of the premiership by the Frankston Club was a cause of extreme gratification.

While members of the club and its supporters were naturally jubilant at the victory gained, the players themselves accepted their honors with becoming modesty.

The Frankston team had fought a great uphill fight, and had gained the premiership by sheer merit.

They had started out practically a new team, many of the players being strangers to one another.

It had taken time for them to settle down and work with a system.

The result of the earlier matches proved this.

Their ultimate victory was therefore all the more creditable. (Cheers.)

He hoped that the coming years had still further honors in store for the Frankston club. (Cheers. ) Mr. J. A. Cameron on being called up to respond received an ovation mingled with cries of “good old Joker.”

He admitted that the Frankston team had justly earned his victory.

His further remarks indicated that the winning of the Peninsula premiership still left the successful team a long way short of perfection.

Not till the last two or three matches, he said, did Frankston play anything like competition winners.

Success only came when they pulled themselves together and developed something like “system”.

His advice was to call out some of the old players and make room for the young men.

“Some of us are too old”, he rather ruefully admitted, “my idea is that the best team is a youngsters team.”–Applause.

Mr W. Cain in an excellent speech, proved that football is not his only forte.

As captain of the premier team he thanked the “boys” who on the field had carried for him that proud distinction.

It afforded him pleasure to think of how Saturday after Saturday the boys had taken their places, regardless of injuries and other disabilities, imbued seemingly with the great idea of keeping up the standard of the team and winning. (cheers) He had to pay special tribute to his friend “Joker” Cameron, who as vice captain had made the speaker’s duties comparatively light. (Hear Hear).

The speaker also thanked the committee, patrons, and all supporters of the club for the loyal support extended to the team right through.

He hoped the players would continue to strive to keep football at a high standard, and that the good feeling that had prevailed right through the season would continue.

They were all proud of the honors won, and he hoped the ambition of all would be to still keep the pennant waving over Frankston, (cheers.)

The toast of “The Hostess” was given by Mr C. Dalman.

This was not the first time Frankston had been premiers, but he believed it was the first time in the history of the club that the president’s wife had entertained the premier team. (Cheers).

He believed that one of the factors

MORNINGTON FORESHORE RESERVE

that made for the success of the team was the interest displayed by the ladies, (Applause.)

The present splendid banquet would long serve to revive kindly memories of Mrs Parker in the minds of Frankston Footballers, (Cheers.)

The chairman in endorsing the foregoing remarks said that in his long experience he had never seen such an excellent dinner in connection with a football function.

The toast was suitably acknowledged on behalf of Mrs Parker.

Other speakers included Messrs Moon, C. Willox, Egan, Verney, Murphy, Bolger and the president.

The singing of Auld Lang Syne terminated a most successful evening. *** THE first motor wagon load of new potatoes left Frankston on Wednesday night for the Victorian market.

They were grown at Mt Eliza by Mr. J. Bradbury, of the Fernery, Frankston, and are of the variety known as Arren Chief. *** MR. A. Sullivan, of the Frankston Boot Emporium, has purchased the boot repairing business of Mr G. Farmer, which the new proprietor will conduct on up-to-date lines, in addition to his popular Bay Street establishment. *** ON Friday evening next the recently established Frankston Grammar School purpose holding their first concert, the proceeds to be devoted to the sports and school equipment funds.

Root’s beautiful cantanta “The Flower Queen” will be rendered by

the pupils under the leadership of their headmaster, Mr Austin, who himself takes the part of Recluse.

The music is bright and melodious and the whole action lends itself to graceful and picturesque appearances.

We confidently recommend this concert to our music loving community and predict a very successful evening. *** AT the monthly meeting of the committee of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute, held on Monday evening, Cr. W. P. Mason, (vice president) in the chair, an application was received from Mr. E. Barrett, Secretary of the Local Committee for Repatriation, asking if one of the ante rooms attached to hall could be available as an office for Repatriation purposes.

It was decided to offer the room used in connection with the court work at a nominal rental of 2s 6d per week. *** TYABB. A WELCOME HOME. A monster “Welcome Home “’ was tendered to about a dozen local lads on Friday evening last.

Cr Turner occupied the chair, and presentations were made by Cr Murray.

Other speakers were Capt Guy and Capt. Gates, and Capt L. G. Cole replied on behalf of the “Diggers”.

A splendid programme was submitted, which was followed by a dance, and kept going until the early hours. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 November 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Passwords of Eternal Damnation

By Stuart McCullough I’LL admit I panicked. By which I mean I suffered something more than a momentary flood of adrenalin but short of frothing at the mouth; but it was panic, nevertheless. I had forgotten my password. In a world that requires a password for almost everything you do, this is a problem. When did passwords become so critically important? Honestly, you can’t so much as buy a pair of socks on-line without creating some kind of password that you’re expected to remember for the rest of your life. It’s unreasonable. In a mad scramble, I looked for a way out.

The closest I got was a button that said ‘Forgot password’ but I’d already managed to do that. It could only make things worse.

As I stared at the screen, waiting for either inspiration or lightning to strike, I began to wonder how I might begin my new passwordfree existence. Like people who choose to live a subsistence life off the grid in a tin shack in the middle of the bush, living on possum meat and coming to town twice per year to mail semithreatening letters to the Green Guide, I would become a perennial outsider; a maverick who chooses to rebel against the social mores and conventions in order to play by his own rules.

Which sounds cooler than it should.

There’s more to remember now. When I was a kid, the one thing you really had to commit to memory was your home phone number. I turned mine into a song that, after a couple of Bacardi Breezers, I am prone to performing to this day, whether I’ve been asked to or not. (And, to be honest, performing your old phone number is not something that anyone in their right or left mind is likely ever to request.)

As a pre-teen show off, I mastered the whole phone number thing quite quickly but came unstuck when my parents selfishly moved house and I had to commit a new one to memory. I was then put to the test once more when the

PAGE 34

Mornington News 12 November 2019

world as I knew it was rocked to its foundations as the ‘059’ system was abolished and ‘3’ was added at the front end. Once more, I rose to the challenge.

At a certain point, I had a card that gave me access to the wonderful world of ATMs. It pains me to say it, but I remember when ATMs first started appearing. We were visiting friends of my father’s in Wangaratta and we watched in wide-mouthed wonder from the car as he alighted to get cash from a machine. The future had arrived and we could see it on our way to dinner at a Chinese restaurant.

These miracle cards meant you had to remember another number. A PIN number was top

secret information delivered to you in special, tamper-proof paper. To open it, you had to tear along the perforated edges and unfold it as though you were about to announce the winner for Best Supporting Actress. Once this critical information had been memorized, you had to immediately and securely destroy the information by eating the paper. Or, at least, that was my preferred approach.

Remembering your PIN was the most important thing in the world. Failing to do so would bring humiliation and, worse still, a trip to the branch proper where you were subject to the unique degradation that was trying to prove to a total stranger that you were, in fact, you. That

is not as easy as it sounds. After a time, it was more a matter of muscle memory than anything else and, from time to time, I was left to stare at the keys as I tried to summon up my PIN number.

Now everything demands a password. Even things that, in my personal opinion, cannot truly be considered to password worthy. Want to buy a pair of socks? Log in to you customer account.

Like to pay a bill? Notwithstanding the pleasure that comes from parting with your hard-earned cash just to keep the lights on, you also have to come up with a password. Preferably one that you’ll remember for longer than it takes you to type it out in the first place.

Worse still, the Internet is very judgmental.

Passwords can’t just be passwords. They’re evaluated in terms of whether they’re ‘weak’ or ‘strong’. To be honest, it hurts my feelings when they claim that something I’ve spent the first part of three and a half seconds concocting isn’t up to scratch. There’s no pleasing them.

Sometimes, they show you a code that you have to type in, only it’s like the letters are drunk and have been dropped from a great height, because they’re hard to read. My favourite, though, is when they make you click a box that says ‘I am not a robot’. I know that only a robot would ever be stupid enough to declare that they’re not a robot, so I always leave that one blank.

Passwords accumulate over time. Like t-shirts or weeds in your garden. In a perverse way, they define us. After all, when all’s said and done, we are the sum total of usernames and passwords.

I’m thinking about passing them on to the next generation. I want them to enjoy them after I’ve gone. Then, when the big day finally comes and I kick the bucket, I’ll doubtless ascend to the Pearly Gates to receive my eternal reward only to discover that it’s password protected. Damnation. Literally. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Rain wreaks havoc on the round but not before some impressive totals

By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

A KNOCK of 98 from Nick Jewell helped Long Island to a comfortable win over Pearcedale last weekend.

Pearcedale came in to bat first in the one day clash, and finished up at 8/143 from their 40 overs.

Andrew Tweddle took 4/23 to help restrict Pearcedale to a low total.

With Jewell in full flight, Long Island were able to reach their target with relative ease. They claimed the win with eight wickets and 18 overs to spare.

At Ditterich Reserve, a stunning century from Damien Lawrence helped Pines get a win over Main Ridge.

Lawrence came in as opener, and contributed to a brilliant 172 run second wicket partnership.

Pines set Main Ridge a target of 235 to chase down, and defended it well.

Main Ridge were not able to score at a quick enough rate, and finished at 4/113 at the end of 40 overs.

At Bruce Park, Somerville claimed a win over Heatherhill, chasing down their total of 152 with 8 wickets in hand.

Red Hill and Moorooduc’s clash ended up rained off, but not before Simon Dart managed to score an entertaining ton for the Hillmen.

DISTRICT

A HALF century from opening batsman Henry Dolphin has helped Crib Point to a win over Mt Martha.

Mt Martha won the toss and chose to bat first. They found themselves struggling, and could only put 134 runs on the board before the expiration of their innings.

Crib Point had little trouble chasing down that total, and ended up securing victory with five wickets in hand and 13 overs left to play.

Delacombe Park also had similar fortune in their clash against Dromana, as they managed to chase down a total of 130 with 13 overs to play.

Number three batsman Andrew Christides was Delacombe Park’s

best, scoring a half century.

Hastings’ match at home against Carrum got off to a strong start. They went in to bat first and put 192 runs on the board, with Luke Hewitt reaching a half century.

Unfortunately for Hastings and Carrum, rain brought a premature end to their game.

Rosebud and Seaford Tigers also didn’t get a result on a rain interrupted day.

SUB DISTRICT

TYABB secured an impressive win last weekend in a rain interrupted round of Sub District cricket.

Tyabb played host to Rye, and got things started with a big 91 run opening stand. Opener Michael Edwards got things started on the right foot and scored a half century.

Tyabb set a total of 8/200 off their 40 overs, which would prove to be too difficult a mountain for Rye to climb.

Jordan Baldes was Rye’s best with ball in hand, taking a five wicket haul.

At the end of their 40 over innings, Rye were just under 70 runs short of victory.

At Peninsula Reserve, Frankston YCW nabbed the win in a low scoring clash against Carrum Downs.

The Stonecats were sent in to bat first and only put 71 runs on the board before being bowled out.

Faced with the difficult task of defending their small total, YCW’s bowlers were impressive. Levi McLoughlin-Dore was influential, posting career best figures of 5/13 to help restrict Carrum Downs to just 44.

None of Carrum Downs top order batsman managed to reach double digit figures.

Playing on the road against Boneo, Ballam Park batted first and set a decent total of 186. With the weather starting to turn, Boneo looked to make quick work of it and score quickly.

In the end, the rain won out and the match was called a draw.

Tootgarook and Balnarring also couldn’t fight through the weather, and had their clash called a draw.

Skye and Seaford’s match was also rained off.

PROVINCIAL

MORNINGTON played host to Baxter on Saturday in a competitive clash.

Mornington were sent in to bat first, and got off on the wrong foot when they lost opener Matt Foon for a duck.

They recovered well, and ended up at 7/164 at the end of their 40 overs.

Baxter’s top order put on a good

Dart game: Red Hill and Mooroduc’s clash was rained out, but not before an entertaining century by Red Hill’s Simon Dart. Picture: Andrew Hurst

show in response, with Dale Irving and Daniel Warwick falling just short of their half centuries.

Baxter ended up victorious, getting the win with five wickets in hand and eight overs left to bat before stumps.

Mt Eliza played well and put 180 runs on the board against Langwarrin, but couldn’t get a result as rain brought an end to the day. Bad weather also stopped play between Peninsula OB and Baden Powell.

Vehicles face airbag registration ban SPONSORED CONTENT HE Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries is urgently appealing to all car owners to check if their vehicle has a faulty Takata airbag. Failure to do so may result in more owners having their vehicle deregistered.

FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber said state and territory government traffic authorities were considering the deregistration of more vehicles fitted with faulty Alpha and critical airbags where owners had ignored repeated requests to have their vehicle airbags replaced.

Car owners can avoid the potential deregistration of these vehicles by having the faulty airbags, which could result in the death or serious injury of vehicle drivers and passengers, replaced as soon as possible.

T

"Nobody wants to see car owners inconvenienced by having their vehicles deregistered, but it seems it is the only way we can convince some unresponsive owners to allow us to fix their cars," Mr Weber said.

"This is a last resort action to ensure we track down owners of vehicles with Alpha and critical airbags who have ignored multiple appeals from manufacturers and government agencies."

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission recently announced that nearly 20,000 additional vehicles already under recall for faulty Takata airbags have now been reclassified by manufacturers as "critical." The critical classification places the vehicles in a high-risk category alongside Alpha-equipped vehicles.

"The ACCC has warned vehicles fitted

with airbags listed as critical should not be driven and the FCAI strongly agrees with that warning," Mr Weber said.

In Australia, one death and one serious injury associated with faulty Takata airbags have been recorded. At September 30, 2019 Australian car manufacturers have rectified faulty Takata airbags in more than 2.46 million vehicles, but there were 373,886 vehicles still subject to the national recall.

These vehicles are located throughout Australia, particularly in outer capital-city suburbs and in regional and rural areas.

To check if your vehicle is affected go to www.ismyairbagsafe.com.au and enter your vehicle's registration and state or territory, or text TAKATA to 0487 AIRBAG (247 224).

Matt Cartwright rides first career winner HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based apprentice jockey, Matthew Cartwright, rode his first winner in just his third career race at Swan Hill on Tuesday 29 October.

Hopping aboard the Dean Krongoldtrained mare Miss Inception, Cartwright sat just outside the leader before kicking clear in the straight to win under hands-and-heels riding.

The stable apprentice to his mother and grandmother, Leonie Proctor and Lyn Tolson, and son of former jockey, Rikki Cartwright, the up-and-coming hoop seemed destined to follow a similar path to his family in horse racing.

But to score his first win so early in his career is a feat in itself.

“I was over the moon to get my first winner so early and to get the opportunity off Dean to do it was great – there’s no better feeling really,” Mattehw Cartwright said.

An avid motocross rider as well, the 17-year-old eventually got hooked into horse racing from watching his father Rikki race across the state.

“I’ve been around the horses my

whole life and I just got more into it over time and began to ride trackwork,” Matthew said. “Because I was light it just pushed me even more into wanting to become a jockey because I love riding horses.”

Cartwright, who comfortably walks around at 49.5kg, has been riding trackwork for the past three years and now also works for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace at Caulfield every Monday and Tuesday.

The hoop said he’s obviously found riding in races different to riding trackwork, but with the more experience he’s having, the more comfortable he’s feeling under race pressure.

“My first ride was at Yarra Valley over 1000m and it was great – I loved every bit of it,” he said. “We jumped well and wanted to roll forward but there were a few others that also wanted to, so we got caught wide throughout, but I had a good experience and had fun out there.

“I’ve made a few mistakes but just the more rides and more experience I’m having, its just helping me to improve, so hopefully we can get another win on the board sometime soon.”

Mitchell eyes Russian opponent BLAIRGOWRIE boxer Jayde Mitchell will headline the recently launched National Boxing Series in its Melbourne debut at the State Basketball Centre, Wantirna, Saturday 23 November.

Promoter Lynden Hosking said he was excited to launch the series into Australia’s “boxing heartland”. “This will be the first of three events held in Melbourne over the next 12 months with other shows in the series taking place in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra,” he said.

Mitchell, a world ranked super middleweight, will fight former world champion Stanislav Kashtanov, of Russia, over 10 rounds in what’s being described as “one of the fights of the year in Australian boxing”.

“This is a massive coup for the event that will have major ramifications for the winner,” Hoskins said.

“With such a prominent fighter as Kashtanov this fight now takes on considerably more significance for Mitchell and will most likely result in a world title opportunity if he wins.”

The concept aims to showcase Australia’s best young talent to a national TV audience televised live through Fox Sports.

Hosking Promotions will team up with D & L Events, the promoter of Jeff Horn, to bring the series to life in Victoria.

This comes after a successful co-promotion in August when Michael Zerafa upset the muchfancied Horn in front of 5000 people at the Bendigo Stadium.

Tickets are available online through Ticketek.

Club welcomes new nets, multi-use facility MORNINGTON Cricket Club players are thrilled with their new nets and multi-use facility at Alexandra Park.

The upgrades come after the club was awarded $193,825 in the state government’s Pick My Project grants.

It was one of 237 projects from across the state to share in more than $30 million in grants.

“Having started the whole process

over 12 months ago, and with building starting back in July, we are now fortunate to have a new cricket net/ multi-use facility for the whole community to enjoy,” Mornington Cricket Club president Lee “Alfie” Garnet said.

The club put on a big welcome for players and the public at the opening, Saturday 9 November.

Facts you may not know about fire Conditions in Victoria make it one of the most bushfire-prone regions in the world, along with California and Spain.

Just two weeks of hot, dry and windy weather creates potentially disastrous bushfire conditions that normal Victorian homes are not equipped to survive.

At 1100°C, radiant heat from bushfires can kill from up to 300 metres away and cause trees to combust without touching them.

Fires can travel at 25km/h, making them impossible to outrun. A change in wind direction can alter their trajectory in seconds and they move twice as fast uphill on a slope of just 10 degrees.

Burning embers can spread bushfires up to 40km ahead of the fire front, starting dangerous new spot fires in seconds.

Rural grassfires can be just as dangerous as bushfires, travelling faster and starting earlier due to grass drying out more quickly.
