‘Reality’ buys into artist’s world MARIA Radun was a late convert to being counted among the tens of thousands who regularly watch the Channel Nine “reality” TV series, The Block.

Her interest began just four months ago when one of her paintings was bought by one of four couples involved in renovating the show’s latest acquisition.

Contestants Matt and El’ise chose Radun’s painting Folded as one of the decorations for their master bedroom.

Radun, who works out of Black Spot Gallery & Studios in Mornington, delivered her work to the show’s location in April but was sworn to secrecy until the bedroom renovation show went to air on Sunday (25 August).

She describes Folded as an “exploration of the figure”.

She used her own form for the figure. “It’s probably common for artists to use themselves this way as models are expensive”, Radun said.

Shire pushing hard line on jet skis Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council wants residents to back its hard line against jet skiers on Port Phillip beaches.

It is urging them to speak up in a Maritime Safety Victoria survey on a proposed rule change aimed at prohibiting irregular riding – such as wave jumping and freestyling – of jet skis in shared zones. The rule would also require jet skis riders to steer a direct course offshore so other water users to

better predict their course.

The proposed rule follows the shire losing its bid to reign in dangerous behaviour by jet skiers near bathers. The shire sees the proposed rule as a watered-down version of what is needed.

“The proposed rule doesn’t go far enough in addressing broader community concerns about jet skis,” the shire stated in a full page newspaper advertisement in The News last week.

The advertisement describes the rule as “only addressing a small component of beach safety which is a major issue for peninsula residents and visitors”.

The shire has long advocated for changes to improve beach safety, including trial zones separating swimmers from jet skis, stronger enforcement of the rules and bans on jet skis.

The mayor Cr David Gill said on Friday he was “bitterly disappointed with the state backing down on what we thought were very good ways to ensure public safety”.

He said the shire had wanted a trial of jet skis being banned from some beaches. Other beaches would remain open to all users.

Cr Gill said the state’s idea of re-

stricting jet skis to “go straight in and out” at any beach would still pose a risk to swimmers, canoes, kayaks and paddle boards.

“What the state is proposing still allows jet skis on any beach, to be parked in the shallows and to be refuelled on the beach,” he said.

“It’s a big danger to toddlers.

“This does nothing for safety or to address noise problems. The state has gone for the softest option and is giving in to the boating industry by protecting jet skis.

“It is showing its true colours and not

protecting the hundreds of thousands of people who use the peninsula’s beaches.”

Rye Community Alliance’s Mechelle Cheers said communities in towns such as Rye have “made it very clear they want jet skis controlled”.

“Council is now doing its bit to represent the views of peninsula communities, so it is way beyond time for the Andrews government to act without any more procrastination.”

The survey is open until midday Wednesday 4 September at engage. vic.gov.au/pwc-regulatory-reform

Permit row settled and air show now being organised Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Aero Club is working to get its 2020 air show off the ground despite delays caused by a dispute over a permit with Mornington Peninsula Shire.

A last-minute settlement with the shire has sent club members metaphorically scrambling to get the show together on time.

Club president Jack Vevers late on Sunday predicted all the necessary paperwork would be completed this week and confirmed the show would go ahead as originally planned.

“We’re in the process of resurrecting it all,” Mr Vevers said of the air show which, earlier this month, he announced was cancelled.

The shire issued a news release on Friday saying the “much-loved air show will go ahead as planned” and that the shire’s CEO John baker and Mr Vevers had “vowed to work together” to make it happen.

“I’m thrilled the shire and the aero club have been able to work constructively to find a resolution,” the mayor David Gill said.

Watson Ward councillor Julie Morris said the shire’s support for the air show was “never in question, it is an iconic event that we always wanted to see succeed”.

While the Sunday 8 March air show has been cleared for take-off, the aero club and shire still face a bumpy ride over the requirement for an airfield master plan and permits for businesses

operating there.

Drawings show land in what is regarded as the airfield precinct as having several owners and coming under varying zonings.

The air show permit is separate from the master plan and business permits required by the shire in the wake of an investigation by a queen’s counsel.

Further confirmation that the air show was back on track came via Mr Vevers telling the Australian Flying website that the club had “14 months of work to do in six months". "We can fix it, even if we have to go like hell.”

Mr Vevers announced the air show had been cancelled when the shire said it needed a permit, the same as other major events in the shire.

He had wanted the shire to accept a secondary consent application as in the past: “We normally just write to the council and fill in a form which gives us a period to vary our permit so we can run the air show - say, seven days. It’s never been an issue before.”

On Sunday Mr Vevers was confident the question of air show permits could be “sorted out in the longer term”.

He said other municipalities with airfields had offered to stage the air show but said Peninsula Aero Club’s committee wanted it kept on the peninsula as it benefitted so many charities and community groups.

Mr Vevers said the air show had a “halo effect”, with many of its thousands of spectators later returning to enjoy other attractions on the peninsula.

Fire fight: Firefighters in Carramar Street, Mornington, where man’s body was later found inside a burned out house.

Body found in gutted house Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MAN’S body was found inside a burned out Mornington house last week.

About 20 firefighters and five appliances fought the blaze in Carramar Street just after midnight, Friday 23 August.

Thick smoke was visible from the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

The Arson Squad will investigate the blaze which spread to a neighbouring house and damaged the garage. The occupants of that house were safely evacuated.

Neighbour Sam Maxwell said he was working in his garage about 11.30pm when he heard – and felt – a loud “whomp” followed by a series of pops and bangs, like bursting aerosol cans.

“At first I didn’t think anything of it but then I thought I’d better check and ran over,” he said.

He saw no one else around.

“I saw what I thought was a bonfire in the backyard and then realised the house was on fire.

Flames were everywhere and I thought someone may be inside. I started yelling and screaming but got no response.

“I jumped the gate and ran up to the house and tried to force open a window but it just collapsed and fell in and then thick black smoke began pouring out.

“I kicked in the front door and ran inside a bedroom. I got no response even though I was yelling loudly.”

Forced back by the heat and smoke, Mr Maxwell retreated outside where another neighbour told him dogs may be in the backyard. “I managed to scrape in under the garage roller door but could see no dogs,” he said.

Mornington Fire Brigade officer-in-charge Blake Ross said the cause of the blaze at the single storey brick veneer house was “still being investigated” and that there were no suspicious circumstances.

He said it was difficult searching inside the house because of the extensive fire damage.

The 44-year-old victim is believed to have been alone.

Fire crews from Mornington, Mt Eliza and Frankston took about 30 minutes to bring the blaze under control.

Mornington police will prepare a report for the coroner.

No to fogging in ‘mossie’ fight Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council ruled out chemical “fogging” to kill mosquitoes in the fight against the Buruli ulcer.

The decision follows community alarm over the uncharted environmental impacts of nontargeted insecticide spraying in mosquito prone areas of the peninsula.

The mayor Cr David Gill – a bee enthusiast who gives talks on native bees – says insects will be affected and, consequently, the rest of the food chain, including birds and fish.

The council says that as a partner in the Beating Buruli project it is “committed to finding a solution” to the Buruli ulcer “while also heeding community concerns over ways to reduce mosquito numbers”.

It will seeking expert advice on alternative approaches to reducing mosquito numbers, including “source reduction”, offering an opt-in method for residents wanting spraying on their properties, as well oversight of different levels of mosquito-control activity. It also discussed ways to better consult on any proposed mosquito-control methods after expert advice had been received; not to take a position on proposed mosquito controls until these items were implemented, and to seek the “necessary resources” from Health Minister Greg Hunt’s department to pave the way for other strategies.

Councillors have agreed not to allow the “application of insecticides through fogging” – which comes a little late for properties in Dawn, Goyarra and French Streets, Rye, that have already been sprayed with chemicals to kill mosquitoes (“Ulcer study ‘now a trial’ – mayor” The News 31/7/19).

Referring to sentiments expressed at a packed forum at Rye Civic Hall, Saturday 10 August, Cr Gill said, “We have heard community concerns and are undertaking measures to explore alternatives.”

Since 2012, increasing numbers of Buruli ulcer cases have been reported on the Mornington Peninsula. The highest risk areas are Rye, Sorrento, Blairgowrie and Tootgarook.

Since 2015 there have been 391 reported cases: in 2015 there were 45; in 2016 – 64, and in 2017 – 96. Last year on the peninsula 148 cases were reported. Visitors infected numbered 21 in 2015, 74 in 2016, 110 in 2017 and 131 in 2018.

“Balancing the need to control a devastating disease while minimising environmental impacts” is the unenviable task of Beating Buruli in Victoria’s Professor Tim Stinear, from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity.

He told the council that all the study participants were “very sensitive” to possible environmental impacts. “We will continue to work closely with the council, cognisant of their wishes and advice,” Professor Stinear said.

“When we have a disease outbreak, we have an obligation to the human population to control that disease. What we are trying to do is balance the need to control a devastating disease while minimising environmental impacts.”

Prof Stinear said research partners would continue working to explore alternative options for mosquito control. “This may mean mosquito control activities will not take place this mosquito breeding season.”

Other activities of the overall Beating Buruli in Victoria project, including mosquito trapping and surveillance, will continue as planned.

MPs disagree with experts over beach’s survival Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A RISING tide of anger has greeted the announcement that no action will be taken to ensure sand remains at Mt Martha Beach North.

However, the anger and political backlash is being aimed at recommendations made by engineers and scientists who say any physical efforts to save the beach would transfer the problem elsewhere.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt and Mornington MP David Morris, who is also the state opposition’s environment, climate change and bay protection spokesperson, accuse the state government of abandoning the beach and its beach boxes.

The state government has paid for large boulders to be placed behind the beach boxes to protect of the eroding cliff, which also threatens to de-stabilise the Esplanade.

The two Liberals were responding to a report commissioned by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) which found that the most feasible options at the beach are to “monitor” and, if necessary, reinforce a rock wall protecting the bottom of the cliff and “allow natural processes to take place without further intervention”.

“This option aligns with the Victorian Coastal Strategy’s directive to allow natural coastal processes as the preferred approach to coastal erosion management,” the report by Water Technology states (“No help for threatened beach boxes” The News 20/8/19).

DESPITE Mt Martha Beach North being closed at times for safety reasons, beach box owners are expected to pay the same annual fees as beach box owners elsewhere on the Mornington Peninsula. Picture: Keith Platt About 200 hundred people visited Mt Martha Lifesaving Club on Saturday (24 August) to discuss the report’s findings with DELWP officers.

“As the coastal manager, we would expect the state department to work with the local community and council in proper design and analysis of solutions,” Mr Hunt said in the joint newsrelease.

However, the DELWP says it has consulted with the community and its latest decision follows two reports by Water Technology, the first of which identified four engineering options, the most expensive of which would cost $4 million.

The second report has shown that none of the options would restore sand in either the short or long term along the whole 600 metres of beach or prevent further erosion Water Technology describes itself as “the go-to consultant” for coastal and water management “renowned for delivering practical, high-end science and engineering solutions to day-today complex water related problems”.

“The [pre-election] $1.5 million committed by the federal government remains on offer for Mt Martha North Beach protection on three fronts. Firstly, cliff protection and remediation works, secondly, a permanent solution

to the southwards drift of sand away from the north beach and thirdly, remediation of Mt Martha North beach in conjunction with the permanent solution,” Mr Hunt said.

Mr Hunt said he would be “astonished” if the state Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio would abandon the beach “having declared that she was focussed on the problem in 2017”.

In a joint news release the two MPs said the delayed release of the report “confirmed locals’ fears … that the preferred course of action was no intervention, with the beach to only be open during summer”.

Residents were “devastated at the news that the state government would abandon Mt Martha North Beach”.

They say the beach is loved “by locals and tourists”, but said it had relied on numerous short term actions by the DELWP, including importing sand and building rock walls for it to “remain safe and open for the community”.

Mr Hunt said the Water Technology report showed the state government “has ignored the pleas of the community to help save this beach”.

He said the federal government’s offer of $1.5 million “to help save the beach” came on top of $800,000 already spent by the state.

“Their own report shows a vast community benefit in the installation of a small groyne or reef for a responsible capital cost,” Mr Hunt said.

Mr Morris said the government had “walked away from the community”.

“Funding is available to take proactive steps and I hope that they will listen to the community,” he said.

“Every beach around the bay experiences erosion at some point, that is the dynamic nature of a coastal environment. To suggest that because there is no perfect solution [and that] the sensible options canvassed by the report should not be considered further is complete nonsense.

“Governments are elected to solve problems, not to walk away from them, which is exactly what [Ms D’Ambrosio] is doing.

“Every beachgoer around the bay, and everyone who loves our coastal environment, should now be worried what support they will get if their beach comes under threat.

FOOTPATH TAXES Shire Fails Residents

The Mornington Peninsula Shire has imposed a ‘special charge’ (tax) of between $2,200 and $4,400 on residents of Coppin Rd and Point Nepean Road, Sorrento, to build a footpath opposed by nearly 90% of residents.

this policy has not been implemented consistently. It should have applied to the residents of Point Nepean Rd, Sorrento.

•

The shire has not adhered to the original cost sharing arrangements between residents and will now subsidise some residents and not others to the tune of thousands of dollars! In multiple cases one neighbour will pay double ($4,400) that of their subsidised next-door neighbour ($2,200). These subsidies are discriminatory and clearly unfair.

•

The shire now surveys residents before imposing these special taxes. In all recent surveys residents have overwhelmingly rejected shire proposals. Residents of Coppin Road and Point Nepean Road were never given this opportunity.

Why is this charge unjustified and unfair?

•

•

•

This project was advertised in 2015 along with six other footpaths. The remaining five have been abandoned or will be funded by the shire in the face of a backlash from residents.

The Coppin/Pt Nepean Rd footpath was incorporated into the shire’s footpath network strategy prioritising footpaths for construction – all fully funded by council. With one exceptionCoppin /Pt Nepean Rd. The shire’s footpath strategy ensures that properties on major roads such as Point Nepean Rd do not pay a footpath tax. Clearly,

The only fair way to address all the above issues is for the shire to acknowledge that its processes have failed affected residents and take all the necessary steps to fully fund this project. It’s the right thing to do.

Police patrol

Six arrests over esports betting TWO Mt Eliza men have been arrested and interviewed as part of an investigation into “suspicious betting activity” in an esports league, 23 August.

Police allege video game players were “arranging to throw matches and subsequently placing bets on those matches”. The matches were part of a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament, a popular multiplayer first-person shooter video game. The Mt Eliza men were among six people arrested as part of the ongoing investigation.

Police believe five matches were affected, with more than 20 bets placed on those matches by Australian punters.

Sporting Integrity Intelligence Unit detectives also arrested two 20-year-old Mill Park men, a 22-year-old Mill Park man, and a 19-year-old South Morang man as part of their investigation. All six men were later released pending further enquiries.

“This investigation involving the esports industry was one of the first of its kind by Victoria Police,” Assistant Commissioner Neil Paterson said.

“Esports is really an emerging sporting industry and with that will come the demand for betting availability on the outcomes of tournaments and matches.

It’s important that police and other agencies within the law enforcement, gaming and betting industries continue to work together to target any suspicious activity.”

The alleged offences carry a maximum prison sentence of up to 10 years.

‘Molotov’ thrown at bank SOMERVILLE detectives are reviewing CCTV footage to help identify a man who threw a Molotov cocktail at an ATM in Eramosa Road East last week.

Detective Senior Sergeant Eddie Logonder said the National Australia Bank’s ATM was destroyed and the bank facade damaged in the incident, 11.50pm, Tuesday 20 August.

Somerville CFA fire crews contained the fire to the front of the building. No other shops were damaged.

Anyone with information is urged to call Somerville CIU 5978 1300 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Court appearance A MORNINGTON woman allegedly involved in a home invasion last month appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last week and was further remanded to a later date.

The woman, 20, and her brother, 18, who was arrested the next day and also remanded, are charged with aggravated burglary and armed robbery after allegedly forcing their way into a house in Berry Court, Mornington, Thursday 25 July.

The pair, allegedly brandishing an axe and a cricket bat, confronted a terrified mother and her two young children before stealing jewellery and other items in the 7.20pm incident.

Stolen cards used A FAMILY asleep upstairs at a house on Old Mornington Road, Mt Eliza, awoke to the sound of breaking glass, 4.30am Sunday 18 August.

Venturing downstairs they found glass all over the floor and a handbag missing. The offenders had fled but credit cards from the bag were used twice before being cancelled.

Investigations are ongoing into the burglary.

Anyone with information is urged to call Acting Senior Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Somerville CIU, 5978 1300 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Safety lottery lost TWO mates heading home after a big night out at Mornington’s pubs and clubs took the wrong option, Saturday 17 August. Instead of splitting a taxi fare, calling a sober friend or walking the three kilometres home they decided to drive instead.

If life’s a lottery then the 20-year-old Mornington man lost: The p-plater was picked up driving his mate’s manual 4WD on his automatic-only licence. After being clocked at 97kph in an 80kph zone on Nepean Highway he blew 0.126 per cent and lost his licence for 12 months. His mate’s 4WD was impounded for 30 days.

“If you selected either of the first three options then congratulations,” Senior Constable Greg Wolfe said. “You have more common sense than the two young men who selected the last answer and who woke up next day hoping it was all a bad dream.”

Drugs the choice THE frequent use of drugs by drivers on Mornington Peninsula roads was highlighted during Somerville Highway Patrol’s Operation DriveThru last week.

Drivers exiting fast-food outlet drive-throughs in the Frankston Council area were tested to see if they had the munchies as a result of drinking alcohol or taking drugs.

Over the Friday and Saturday nights 16-17 August 78 vehicles were intercepted with 21

drivers testing positive to drugs and being over the alcohol limit.

The 21-year-old, of Frankston South, blew 0.164 per cent after being clocked at 200kph in a 100kph zone on the Frankston Freeway.

Police issued six vehicle impound notices, 22 penalty notices, and seven defect notices. Of these, 26 people will be summonsed to appear at court.

On stolen bike was recovered with the offender charged and remanded to appear at court at a later date.

“It was an expensive Maccas run for many people but, fortunately, all of the offending drivers were intercepted before they could be involved in a collision,” Senior Constable Greg Wolfe said.

Eyewear As Individual As You Are

‘Pathways’ reveal Eyewear As Individual As You Are domestic violence Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au INCREASING money for free legal services could help improve the early detection of family violence on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston.

The Peninsula Community Legal Centre, which has offices in Frankston, Rosebud and Cranbourne, says increasing the financing of “health justice partnerships” is a key to improving the early detection of family violence.

In a submission to Victoria’s mental health royal commission, the legal centre says “specialist pathways” are needed to connect patients who are victims of domestic violence to lawyers experienced in psychosocial health and family violence.

These pathways must come from both the public and private health sectors.

The submission is aimed at “improving the provision of legal services to those suffering psychosocial disability”.

“Our recommendations aim to improve the provision of legal assistance to the most disadvantaged and vulnerable clients in our community,” the submission stated. “These recommendations are informed by our extensive work with those experiencing psychosocial disability.

“The fact that 28 per cent of our general legal services clients experience psychosocial health issues, directs our recommendation for a substantial increase in funding to the legal assistance sector to support clients with complex needs when facing family law matters, fines, tenancy issues, civil and criminal legal matters.

“Over 50 per cent of our family law clients experience family violence and we have seen the

detrimental impact that exposure to family violence can have on our client’s mental well being.

“As part of our recommendations, we see the funding of health justice partnerships as key to improving the early detection of family violence.

“Specialist pathways to the legal sector provided through the public and private health system, are vital in connecting patients to lawyers that are trained/experienced in both psychosocial health and family violence.

The legal centre said early detection of family violence and relevant referrals “can improve the mental wellbeing of a client/patient and make their journey through the legal process less protracted”.

Working off fines PENINSULA Community Legal Centre’s infringement clients have on average owe more than $11,000 in fines.

The legal centre’s fines clinic has been running for more than three years and has created a work and development permit scheme to help clients “work off” fines.

The Legal Services Board has given the PCLC the go ahead to integrate the scheme into Melbourne’s southern region.

Ways clients can reduce fines include undergoing treatment by a health practitioner or drug and alcohol counseling; doing unpaid work; studying a course; or attending a mentoring program (under 25 years).

PCLC is looking for sponsors from the health care sector to become involved in the project.

Snakes warm to weather Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

BARRY Goldsmith has warned that this could be an “early year” for snakes.

A wildlife controller, snake catcher and wildlife rescuer on the Mornington Peninsula for “close to four decades”, there’s not much about snake catching Mr Goldsmith doesn’t know.

“Every year is different,” he said last week.

“Some years, the season will start early and the heavy rain we had in August has meant lots of vegetation growth as well as healthy populations of lizards, frogs and rodents [which snakes like to eat].

“I just want people to be aware in the garden and around the home as we have received many calls about snakes and snake sightings over the past three weeks.”

Mr Goldsmith said snakes were beginning to become active as the weather warmed and soon would be looking for partners.

“If you see a snake and want it gone, it is important to remember that trying to kill it, or catch it yourself, is very dangerous and also illegal if you don't have the proper permit,” he said.

“Call a licensed experienced professional snake catcher instead.

“If a snake is in your house close the door to the room it is in and run a damp towel along the crack at the bottom of the door so it can’t escape.

“Ideally, if you want the snake catcher to do his or her job, you need to keep sight of the snake or at least

watch where it goes.”

Snakes were protected by law, so killing a snake in the backyard “just for being a snake” can lead to a fine.

Mr Goldsmith said it was wise to limit places where snakes can hide to reduce the chances of attracting them.

Also, controlling rodent populations is a good idea: “The smell of rodents can attract a hungry snake.”

Tiger snakes and copperheads are

common on the Mornington Peninsula with black snakes around Frankston and eastern browns in the Fingal and Boneo areas.

“Snakes are scared of us and will try to get away when they see us, so don't approach one,” Mr Goldsmith said.

“Give it a wide berth as they do scare easily.”

Friday 30 August 2019 12:00 noon for 12:30 pm Rosebud Country Club 207 Boneo Road Rosebud Mel Ref: 170 C7

To book your place please call Annette McKeand 0409 552 790 Susan Berg Susan Berg is the author of “The Girl Who Lived” - a book which is a personal account of her life.

At just 15 years of age, Susan was the sole survivor of a boating accident that claimed the lives of her parents and brother. Orphaned and suffering from survivor guilt, a path of self-destruction dominated the years that followed.

During her darkest years, Susan was faced with challenges such as domestic violence, sexual assault, single motherhood and cervical cancer. Not surprisingly, she also developed a crippling fear of open water. Not even the hottest day could coax her in.

At nearly 40-years of age, Susan was involved in a second fatal accident and escaped death yet again.

The experience caused her to change her mindset

from being a victim to being grateful that she still had a life to live. Over time, she learned to love herself and life again.

After Susan’s life story was published in 2015, she was challenged to face her 30-year fear of water and swim the 1.2km Lorne Pier to Pub. It took Susan 14 months to prepare both mentally and physically and on 7 January 2017, she successfully completed the challenge. She has since gone on to successfully complete other incredible challenges including swimming the English Channel in a four-person relay in August 2018.

Susan strives to share her learnings and amazing passion for life with others. She shares how, by facing her greatest fears and taking on new challenges, she has grown to become a stronger and more resilient person.

Artists picture their memories AN exhibition opening in Mornington later this month will show the Mornington Peninsula is seen through the eyes of 58 artists.

The artists will explore the beauty of the region for the Southern Buoy Studios’ 2019 Landscape Prize through their works on show from Saturday 31 August to Saturday 28 September.

“Our aim is to showcase a variety of wellknown and emerging artists,” the studio’s program and marketing manager Rachel Doyle said. “The familiar becomes new through paint; narratives and recollections are projected to create a dialogue with the viewer. Works immerse us in the experience of the Mornington Peninsula and celebrate the connection to place these artists share.”

Finalist Billy Nye spoke of her painting Williams Road, Mt Eliza: “Telegraph poles. Road signs. Nature strips. The smell of salt water as

Lou Reed’s voice beckons through Dad’s radio: ‘Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side’. These things are the snapshots of my childhood – trips in our Holden Monaro to Mt Eliza beach, with Williams Road as the backdrop.

“To me, Williams Road was, and remains, a sanctuary. Among the chaos of construction, the clamour of time, new homes and disappearing backyards, Williams Road is a throwback to the quaint suburban landscapes that I grew up with; one that, despite all odds, has stood the test of time.”

Doyle said Southern Buoy Studios “continues to engage with the community as a not-for-profit space, encouraging a new understanding of the arts through a dynamic program of exhibitions and educational projects”.

Another finalist, Sophie Perez: “This exhibition is so important to many artists working as

part of the thriving peninsula community.

“To have the opportunity to exhibit at SBS is extremely gratifying; it gives emerging artists the platform to connect with the community who are interested in supporting the arts through the purchase of works.

“We play a key role in keeping this unique space running for future initiatives, with all the revenue raised from sales going straight back into the gallery for events and bigger prizes.”

Guest judge Jennifer Riddle will present $2000 to the work judged best in show on opening night, from 6pm, Saturday 31 August.The people’s choice award will be determined by a public vote and named at the end of the exhibition.

Tickets are essential to the show at 1/19 Carbine Way, Mornington.

Hands reflect concerns over 5G Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A SHOW of hands at a public meeting in Mt Eliza to discuss the introduction of 5G telecommunications services on the Mornington Peninsula showed that those attending did not want the rollout to proceed in its proposed form.

This would include positioning small cell antennas near buildings and at the ends of streets using untested millimetre waves, they were told.

Organiser Judy O’Donnell said the meeting at Norwood House, Wednesday 14 August, went “really well”.

“Over 70 people attended and showed much interest in the presentations, which will be available to view on 3RPP video channel. (“Call to stall 5G rollout on peninsula” The News 13/8/19).

“Much misinformation was dispelled as many peer reviewed studies proving harm to people and other species by wireless radiation were presented.

“The later discussion demonstrated peoples’ concerns about these health effects and, in some cases, their experience of subsequent illness in family members.

“Exposure from wireless radiation on children and pregnant mothers was shown to be of particular concern, as were the likely effects on many other species – notably insects, birds and bees.”

Ms O’Donnell said many people “indicated their desire to see the rollout stopped and to continue with the

campaign of public awareness to that end”.

The next 5G community awareness meeting will be held at Rosebud Memorial Hall, 3-5pm, Saturday 5 October.

Ms O’Donnell said a free online summit on 5G which began yesterday (Monday 26 August) would run all week. Visit: urltag.net/DBm7A The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) said 5G would work alongside existing 4G networks before evolving to fully standalone networks. It said 5G would help meet the growing demand for data – up 41 per cent over the year to June 2018.

“And this is set to continue.”

AMTA said research into radio signals used by small cells and other mobile network technologies of all types, including by the World Health Organisation, had found no evidence that exposure to low level electro-magnetic energy levels from network infrastructure was harmful to human health.

“The benefits of 5G devices will be significantly faster speeds in data access, downloading and streaming content. Also, 5G devices will have increased computing power and make use of faster connectivity, meaning that the devices will enjoy virtually instantaneous connections to the net-

work, as well as greater connectivity when on the move.

“For businesses and industry, 5G and the Internet of Things will provide a wealth of data allowing insights like never before. Business will increasingly operate and make key decisions driven by data, such as parcel tracking, and innovate in different application areas, including agriculture, smart farms and manufacturing. All of these will pave the way for cost savings, better customer experience and long-term growth.”

Ms O’Donnell said Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, the body in Australia tasked with keeping the public safe by regulating levels of public exposure to radiation, were out of date. “Their standards of exposure have not been revised since 2002 – before smart meters, WIFI, 4G or 4GLTE,” she said.

“They do not evaluate the effects of cumulative exposure from several sources, which everyone is now exposed to evaluate, and they do not count non-thermal effects, only thermal, such as the effects of heating.

“Non-thermal effects have been found by numerous research studies to create many forms of damage to biological systems.”

Ms O’Donnell said the agency’s model for research on the effects was a “gel-filled plastic head based on a head the size of an adult male. Children absorb radiation more deeply into their brains and none of us are made of gel and plastic”.

“Also, they do not take into account long-term exposure.”

Ageing issues THE Bays Healthcare Group will host a free community forum to exchange ideas on current ageing issues, such as the ability to live a healthy, dignified and productive life, social engagement and empowerment.

Guest speaker Gerard Mansour, Commissioner for Senior Victorians and Ambassador for Elder Abuse Prevention, has more than 30 years experience with the aged and wider community services sectors.

Geriatrician and GP Dr Vikram Bhalla will speak about dementia, its causes, signs and symptoms as well as how to reduce the risks.

Bike project a ‘safe link’ to Mornington Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PROPOSED bike path linking Mornington Tourist Railway at Moorooduc with Civic Reserve at Mornington would be ideal for walking and running as well as cycling – all healthy pastimes in an increasingly frenetic world.

Backers of the aptly named Mornington Safelink want support for their project which they say is “shovel ready”.

“Most of the work has been done – it just requires lots of public encouragement to get up and going,” proponent Graeme Rocke said.

Backers of the path see it is a logical extension of the PenLink trail that now ends at Moorooduc. The aim is to link Mornington’s shops, schools, sports fields, residential areas and commercial precincts and provide active and healthy recreation options.

Cross-over points on Bungower and Mornington-Tyabb roads will give school children and the elderly or disabled extra safety.

“The peninsula is growing, both in young families and an ageing population,” Mr Rocke said. “We experience an extraordinary number of visitors every year.

“Obesity rates are rising, and the technology age is having an impact, particularly in school children. Roads are busier than ever, often reaching capacity during the day, and this makes them unsafe for any road user other than a vehicle.

“Frustration levels are rising. Mental health is having its highest impact

on society ever.”

To ease these issues communities need to be more connected, Mr Rocke said. “People need to be able to move between areas safely to catch up for a walk, teach the kids how to ride a bike, or walk the dog. Community groups need to be able to operate in a safe environment.”

Mr Rocke said the obvious benefits of cycling were fitness and improved health. “The benefits go well beyond the fitness of the individual,” he said.

“Riding bikes is now a family activity and covers all age groups. Off-road pathways have made cycling for families a regular weekend ‘must do’.”

Advances in technology over the past 10 years had seen the sales of electric bikes soar. More people can participate and be part of the bikeriding community.

“The feeling of wellbeing from riding bikes lifts people emotionally,” he said. “Riding in groups builds social inclusion within the community.

“Bike riders are a friendly lot: when we stop for a coffee or drink at the top of a hill inevitably we talk to other riders about the journey we have been on, which extends beyond the track or trail of the day to sharing life stories.

“If you want fitness, health and wellbeing and like meeting new peo-

the roads safely.

Running since 2001, the Fit to Drive program has been aimed to reducing road trauma by changing attitudes and behaviours of young drivers and passengers.

BlueScope Western Port has supported the Arthurs Seat Challenge since its start in 2002, and sponsorship coordinator, Amanda Burston, said the Fit to Drive program was “directly aligned with our company’s core values of keeping people safe and supporting our local community.”

“It’s been remarkable to see the growth, expan-

ple, then bike riding on our community paths is your must-do activity.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire has in-principle support from Melbourne Water, Vic Track, Cultural Heritage for the proposed path which will feature ecological vegetation coups, made up of quality regrowth vegetation from when the original railway was developed in the late 1800s.

The project engineering has been completed, drawings done and an economic impact assessment completed.

One objective is to make the community path an education path linking The Briars, Mt Martha.

sion and significant reduction in young driver fatalities and accidents across the peninsula,” Ms Burston said.

The challenge relies on support from sponsors, businesses, community groups, schools, and the public to run the annual race.

Major partners are BlueScope Western Port, Mornington Peninsula News Group, Your Community Bank Rye/Dromana/Rosebud, and Spicy Web. This year’s Arthurs Seat Challenge is on Sunday 10 November, starting at 8.30am from near the corner of Jetty Road and Point Nepean Road, Rosebud. Registrations available from 7 am at Rosebud Primary School or online at www. arthursseatchallenge.com.au.

Rate rise above CPI despite government ‘cap’ The Andrews State Government introduced certain rules designed to keep council rate increases at around CPI level. The reaction of most municipalities, including Mornington Peninsula Shire, was to find ways around the new regulations so that they could continue to increase rates by as much more than CPI as they could get away with, rather than accept that it was in everybody’s interest to keep expenditure under control. Imagine how many private enterprises would go to the wall if their managements adopted the same attitude.

As an example, I have just received my rate notice for 2019/20 and find my rates have increased by five per cent over last year and 20 per cent over the last five years. That is not even close to CPI. Now, the shire wants vets to report stray dogs they return to their owners for what seems to me to be no better reason than that they want to fine the owners for allowing a dog to be at large even when they are not aware of it (“Vets wary of shire’s ‘strays’ contract” The News 20/8/19).

To make sure the vets comply they can fine them $792 if they read a dogs microchip number and notify the owner.

I know from personal experience that if a dog ends up in the pound it will cost the owner around $300 in release fees and fines and no explanation will stop the shire from applying both.

I am not sure whether this is the mindset of the elected councillors or the executive, but it doesn’t sound like democracy to me.

James McLoughlin, Balnarring

Climate change coming The Mornington Peninsula Shire is to be congratulated on its declaration of a climate emergency (“Shire plans action to combat ‘emergency’” The News 20/8/19). Through what was the then Western Port Greenhouse Alliance, now the South East Councils Climate Change Alliance, the shire took part in a $500,000 research project to determine the challenges that climate change poses for local residents. These included increases in heat waves, fire weather, sea level rise and storm surges.

The research, conducted by CSIRO, showed that there certainly were changes on their way.

The shire held a series of community consultations to inform residents of the challenges and plan ways to respond.

This program of well-attended consultations was leading practice in community engagement across the country. It was featured at national conferences, in national environmental education newsletters and at gatherings of professional engineers to determine the best ways forward.

The shire has a long history of leadership in climate change response that continues with this declaration.

Reporter: “No. They don’t actually burn coal at a coal mine.” LM 16 “That’s what Scott Morrison wants you to think.”

back to teachers just teaching and not trying to influence young minds?

I believe that man-made climate change is occurring, but all evidence points to the major affects occurring in the Northern Hemisphere, such as the demise of the Okjokull glacier in Iceland and yet only minute amounts of greenhouse gases are being detected at the research facility in north west Tasmania and no evidence of any measurable sea level increases in the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere (United Nations threeyear survey 2012-2014).

Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Fox avoids change So, Fox News is Michael G Free’s source of his information on climate change (“Views reflect the news” Letters 20/8/19). Fox News, that temple of news that has as its experts Andrew Bolt, Ray Hadley and Peta Credlin and, on the sidelines, we have NASA, But wait, there’s more, let’s not forget Alan Jones and Malcolm Roberts. Fox news will never show you any climate catastrophe that shows icebergs and glaciers melting, inundations of low lying land masses or temperature swings causing out of season forest fires.

Did Fox News tell Michael that, the Okjokull glacier in Greenland has disappeared for the first time in history? Maybe the extra available land has tempted Trump to offer to buy Greenland.

What I see on my news source is glaciers melting and other climatic disasters, stuff that won’t get shown on Fox News.

As far as the last federal election, the pollsters fed us a load of Friars Balsam. Their figures were wrong and misled all the media outlets.

Lastly, if being a “loony leftie” means I am concerned for the health of the planet and future generations, then so be it John Cain, McCrae

Greenland’s bonus I too laughed at the American President Donald Trump when I heard that he wanted to buy Greenland, until I wondered why would he, and then I remembered Erik the Red. Erik settled in Greenland in AD 986 with a few thousand others on 180 farms and they grazed cattle and sheep.

Apparently it was nice and green around the coastal areas and warmer than it is now. It continued for hundreds of years until somewhere around AD 1350 a genuine “climate emergency” started. The climate changed and “the little ice age” started, the lands froze over permanently and eventually all the settlements were abandoned.

Nowadays, the planet is warming and the coastal areas should once again be fertile and a green land. The ice sheets, comprising 80 per cent of Greenland and three kilometres deep in places, should recede a little. A temperature increase of 10 degrees C would be just fine.

I think Trump is told what’s what and what’s rot and he wouldn’t mind buying a warmer Greenland because he recognises the enormous potential of the known, valuable mineral deposits under the ground with substantial offshore oil and gas fields. America needs that oil, and a bit of uranium and some diamonds wouldn’t go astray.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

March for change Every time I read the letters of Michael Free and Brian A Mitchelson, I’m reminded of the two old blokes on the Muppet Show making comments from the balcony. We are facing a climate emergency on the whole planet, if they like it or not. Spruiking the mantra of our present government in Canberra that we should not worry about it is not making it go away.

How they can keep on dismissing the fact that the Mornington Peninsula is under attack from rising sea levels now is beyond me. Beach boxes along Port Phillip shores are being abandoned by authorities and deemed undefendable. Portsea beaches are disappearing by the truckload and cliffs all around the bays, Western Port and Port Phillip, are falling into the sea.

But Mr Michelson and Free appear not inter-

ested in doing anything about the small chance of acting to prevent far worse calamities around the world. Just like our prime minister has chosen to ignore the plight of our Pacific neighbours in the island nations at the last Pacific forum.

And listening to Labor’s Penny about abandoning coal by mid-century or earlier, the Labor party is only a tiny bit less culpable.

I for one will be marching with the school kids in Melbourne on 20 September.

Will it again take more than 100,000 people marching to get our elected representatives to take action for all of us?

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Don’t abandon beach As your article indicates, the “management option” proposed for the future of Mt Martha North Beach is “do nothing” (“No help for threatened beach boxes” The News 20/8/19).

We cannot allow this to happen. This is an important piece of our natural environment, an essential resource that has been appreciated by countless numbers of residents and visitors over decades and should likewise be available for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations.

Doing nothing would result in a limited and deteriorating amenity position, restricting usability to the warmer months, the balance of the time being unusable or inaccessible and potentially closed. It would remain to be seen for how long the beach remained usable in the warmer months before becoming unusable at this time as well.

The potential closure of the beach at any time is strongly opposed. It should be made safe (as promised) for year-round accessibility and use.

Given the choice of beach or no beach, it is perfectly clear, nobody wants to lose the beach, be it temporarily (seasonally) or permanently.

The state government and Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio need to be reminded of their December 2017 announcement “Protecting Mt Martha North Beach” which rightly acknowledged “how important the Mt Martha North Beach area is to the community - we’re listening to the local community and ensuring that the beach is safe”. We call on them to honour this commitment to the community.

Finally, the government’s seeming preparedness to abandon our beach sends an alarming message to not only our, but other threatened communities.

Alan Farquhar, chairman Mt Martha North Beach Group

Apalling apartments Australia’s apartment building crisis is leaving owners out of pocket and, in some cases, homeless. Industry insiders reveal a litany of failures that could leave defects for years to come.

This is another shocking episode of government failure to look after those who vote for them rather than pandering to corrupt corporate mafia.

Both state and federal governments and both major political parties have been aware of this for decades, and yet no action (sounds like the banks).

Only when totally out of control and leaving more decades of shoddy apartment developments for owners to contend with and no one to hold accountable as those responsible put companies into receivership hiding behind numerous untouchable shell companies.

Even this federal government is having a hard time blaming unions and tradesmen for the situation. And, deity forbid, they should look at their complicity as the problem.

The only people held hostage are those individuals who have been victimised.

So just what is the duty of care that our elected officials have to us? Not much, I would suggest.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Health and 5G Do we want the Internet of Things (IoT)? The front door will unlock for us, the kettle will be on and the dinner cooked, the washing done and the energy industries will have passed our data onto the companies that will pay them for it.

Very nice, but would we rather have the health of our family and future generations?

According to peer reviewed studies independent of the telco industries, the IoT and our future health will be mutually exclusive.

The bridge between the telecommunications we now have and the IoT is 5G. It’s a new ball game.

On the Mornington Peninsula we have some 5G phone towers using very similar frequencies to 4G. Next will be boxes called “small cells” with antennas placed on lampposts, bus stops and other infrastructure as close as every 100 meters. In front of homes, schools and offices.

Focussed millimetre waves, not used in the past and not researched in terms of health effects, will beam into all our homes, schools and offices, hugely increasing our exposure to microwaves.

Our appliances will transmit radiofrequencies, just as our smart meters now do. Everything in our homes will talk to everything else, so the soup of radiation we currently find ourselves in will be greatly increased. Research indicating biological harm to people and other life forms from current levels of wireless radiation is indisputable.

ARPANSA, the body which sets the standards of exposure to protect the Australian public, last reviewed the standards in 2002 - before smart meters, wi fi and 4G. The permissable standards of exposure it sets for us are thousands of times higher than those considered to cause biological harm. Together with USA and Canada we have the highest standards of exposure in the world by far.

Do we want 5G? Paula Polson, Dromana

City’s rotting core Frankston should be the shining jewel in Victoria’s crown. It ticks almost all the boxes.

Unfortunately the city centre is rotting away. It can be saved. Frankston Council has the means but not the heart.

I have been sickened by the sight of preventable homelessness. On Friday 16 August I witnessed a “drug related” arrest in broad daylight on Young Street. It took up to about a dozen enforcement officers to arrest one person, a very young mother. Tell me, what is her future?

Compare her plight to your own. This is breaking my heart.

I don’t believe crime or homelessness is going away any time soon. What I do know is councillors must listen to ratepayers. Council’s management wrongly think they are immune from accountability. They are not.

It’s time for reform. If councillors and council management don’t take self-reform seriously, they must go.

A council staffer’s comment that homelessness “is happening everywhere” echoes in my mind.

Read the book Journeys with my Mother by Halina Rubins. This book is written by my dear cousin. They were not just homeless, they were stateless.

I will continue protesting about issues that concern me as long as I breathe.

If I have to break the law, I will. That is a promise.

Vic Langsam, Frankston

Gender equality up for comment MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is inviting public feedback on a strategy aimed at improving gender equality and reducing violence against women and their children.

The draft Gender Equality Strategy follows nearly 2000 family violence reports being made to police in 2017–2018.

A shire survey showed 68 per cent of the people contacting the shire did not feel that all men and women are respected equally in our community; 62 per cent identified gender inequality as one of the main causes of violence against women.

“Violence against women and their children is preventable if we all work together to address the impact of gender inequality,” the mayor Cr David Gill said.

Cr Antonella Celi, who heads the Mornington Peninsula Health and Wellbeing Committee, said the draft gender equality strategy was aimed at preventing violence.

The “settings for action” in the draft strategy include: education and training; work and economic security; health, safety and wellbeing; leadership and representation; sport and recreation; media, arts and culture.

Read the draft plan and provide your feedback at mornpen.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay or mornpen. vic.gov.au/genderequality Documents will also be available to read in hard copy at the shire’s offices in Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Airmen to visit country towns to promote Peace Loans Compiled by Cameron McCullough JUST over the white cliffs of Dover, on the landward side, is a picture of an aeroplane cut in the centre of a green meadow.

It marks as a remembrance the spot where Mr. Rolls landed when he made the first flight across the English Channel from Calais to Dover.

That flight was made barely ten years ago, and when it was made all the world wondered.

It is but 22 miles as the crow flies between Calais and Dover, and Mr. Rolls’ flight was made under carefully selected and favorable weather conditions.

Shortly after his successful flight across a narrow strait, Mr. Rolls was killed by his machine falling when the engine stopped.

Fliers had not then learned what one learned accidentally a little later, and taught the others, that if the airman kept his nerve when the engine stopped, he would plane to the earth in the descending planes an albatross uses when that wonderful flier amongst birds follows a ship at sea, seemingly without the least wing effort.

The great war developed not only the construction of aeroplanes but also their control at a marvellous speed.

Airmen in the war zone had to take risks all the time they were in the air. They counted their lives as of no account, so that they did their work of lengthening the vision of their own Army Commanders and blinding the eyes of the enemy.

Their success meant the difference between victory and defeat, and in

reckoning their own lives as nothing they saved the lives of many thousands of their comrades.

So many great deeds have been done in the war that people, from sheer inability of the mind to grasp them, have taken many of them for granted that in other days would have made them gasp in amazement.

One Victoria Cross airman, Captain McNamara, will be showing the country districts on the Peace Loan tour what today’s fliers can do.

No one who has not seen the fliers of today can have any idea of their mastery of the air.

There are children amongst us who have gazed in wonder at the fire balloon rising in the air, and the man on the parachute descending from it.

That fire balloon drifted just where the winds drove it.

Today’s fliers go whithersoever they will, against the wind or with it, on an even keel or upside down.

They rise to amazing heights, or skim over the crowded streets of a city, as they did on Peace Day in Melbourne.

The airmen who will tour the country districts of Victoria within the next few weeks, to make known the Peace Loan, are fliers who have learned their work in war.

It was their keen desire to win the war which made them learn their hard lessons at the risk of their lives.

It is their keen desire to help the Peace Loan which is urging them to undertake their tour in the country districts of Victoria, and tell the people how urgent is the call to help Repatriation through the Peace Loan. *** THE grand annual ball in connection

with the I.O.R, at Hastings will take place in the public hall, on Friday 5th September.

Gabriel’s band has been engaged for the occasion and the function promises to be one of the most successful events of the season.

Tickets may be procured from the secretary, Mr A. T. Hodgens, or members of the committee. *** THE Wattle Club intend holding a plain and fancy dress ball in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Friday, 5th September.

Prizes are being offered for the best fancy dress and most original dress for ladies and gentlemen – three entries or no award.

Contestants must be 17 years of age or over.

An excellent string band has been engaged and the arrangements for supper are in the hands of first class caterers. *** SINCE Monday supplementary falls of rain have been registered in various portions of the State.

Mr Griffith, Acting Commonwealth Meteorologist, stated that in parts of Gippsland over an inch fell, and at Walhalla two inches and a half was recorded.

In the Western district some good showers fell, and in some localities the falls were heavy.

Towards Geelong there was an inch.

Light showers fell on the Mallee and Wimmera, and in the northern sections the records were somewhat better.

Half an inch fell in Dunolly and Kyabram district, and at 9am Tuesday it was still raining over a good many

stations around Albury.

On the eastern side of the Mallee indications were good for additional falls.

Light rain fell in South Australia and light to moderate in New South Wales, but scattered in the West.

In Queensland there were further falls in the south-east, light to moderate in some places, but in Maryborough district two inches fell. *** AN illustrated lecture on “Rambles of a Rambler in Japan” will be given

by Mr R. Alison-Norris F.R.G.S. in the Methodist Church on Friday, Sept 5th, at 8pm.

Mr Norris has travelled extensively in Japan as well as many other countries, and has considerable first hand knowledge.

The lecture will be illustrated by first class lantern slides shown by Rev E. Tonkin.

There will also be musical items and refreshments.

The charge for admission is 1s, children half price, and the proceeds are in aid of the Methodist Church trust. *** AFTER a successful business career of 21 years in Frankston, Mrs Jacobs is retiring, having deposed of her well known establishment “The Sunbeam” to Mrs Kimlin.

In another column Mrs Jacobs thanks the public for the support accorded her during so many years and asks that the same liberal patronage be extended to her successor, who takes over on Monday next. *** AS we go to press the Railway authorities at Frankston inform us

that the revised time table has just been issued and will take effect from Monday next.

There are a number of important alterations. *** A SPLENDID meeting of ratepayers was held on Wednesday night when Crs Oates, Mason and Mr Wells gave addresses.

Mr Marsh also spoke by invitation.

Mr T. J. McMurtrie presided over the gathering in a very capable way.

Notes on the meeting with questions, will be published next week. *** DR Maxwell, who returned from the war a few weeks ago, and has since been undergoing treatment at the Base Hospital, intends resuming his Frankston practice on the 1st September.

Dr. Atkinson who has been carrying on Capt. Maxwell’s practice during his absence at the front has been indisposed for some days past and is being assisted by Dr Ross. *** FOOTBALL! Semi-Final Match.

FRANKSTON V. MORNINGTON, at Somerville, on Saturday, 6th September. A Real Dinkum Football Match.

A Special Train will Leave Frankston for Somerville at 2.15pm.

Secure your tickets early – Sure to be a rush at the last moment.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Everything you wanted to know about a possible free trade deal with Europe (but had no time or, indeed, actual inclination to ask)

By Stuart McCullough YOU’RE welcome. Although it’d be nothing short of a pants-incinerating lie of Trumpian proportions to tell you it was my ‘pleasure’, I am more than happy to spare you the agony that I have so recently experienced for myself. Granted, it’s several days that I’ll never get back and it’s more than likely that a small piece of my soul has died, but I did it. What’s more, I did it with a smile on my face, albeit one that was drawn on with texta and will take upwards of a month to wash off, but that hardly matters. I have read the proposed free trade agreement between Australia and Europe so you don’t have to. Thank me later.

First, the bad news: Australians may no longer be allowed to use the term ‘feta’. As a cheese-loving nation, this is quite the blow. Frankly, it feels like something being sought more out of spite than principle. But as Australians, we really know how to roll with the punches and I’ve already come up with a bunch of alternatives. For fans of Star Wars, we could call it ‘Bobba Feta’. To the best of my knowledge, our great nation is not currently attempting to negotiate a free trade deal with George Lucas, so I am semiconfident that we can get away with it. Although, to be fair, George Lucas is a lot more powerful than Europe.

Suffice to say, if he parks the Death Star outside your house, best to stay indoors.

Alternatively, as a salute to modern elocution, we could rename the product ‘feddar’. I doubt anyone

would notice. Perhaps some kind of celebrity endorsement would help us preserve the status quo; I, for one, would be happy to purchase a hundred gram pack of ‘Roger Fetarer’. Dare I say, you could ‘serve’ it to anyone.

(No need to write in – just insert your own comment about that joke being a ‘double fault’ and move on….) Or we could try something descriptive like ‘stinky crumble cheese’. Sounds delicious.

I feel we should stand our ground, especially on the touchy subject of cheeses. ‘Gouda’ isn’t a reference to a milk-based cheese from Holland. I’m pretty sure ‘Gouda’ played half back flank for Essendon in 1987 before going on to run a small caravan park in Patchewollock. If memory serves,

his full name was ‘Peter Gouda’ and he is best remembered for having a mullet that could be seen from space.

Although that could probably be any footballer from that era.

A ‘Camembert’ was a small sedan produced by Holden in the sixties.

A ‘Gruyere’ is an ornamental chisel often used to shimmy open a stuck kitchen drawer. A ‘Buxton Blue’ is a disagreement with a real estate agent and a ‘Melton Mowbray pork pie’ is a blatant untruth told by someone who lives half way to Ballarat. These terms cannot be taken away from us – they’re an intrinsic part of our way of life. Back off, Europe. If you remove the term ‘Devonshire’ from my favourite snack, it will leave me devastated and in need of a scone and

a cup of tea.

There are plans to take these restrictions even further. For example, the French are planning to prohibit anyone else from using the term ‘de ja vu’, although I feel they may have done that before. The Spanish are seeking to reclaim the term ‘siesta’ meaning an end to daytime naps as we know them. ‘English ham’ will no longer refer to a pork-based product but may still be used when referring to Ricky Gervais. Sadly, a ‘Dutch Oven’ can only be used with respect to an actual oven. If they keep this up, we’ll have no choice but to resign from Eurovision even though we’re clearly the best thing in it by an absolute mile. (Kate Miller Heidke was totally robbed last year. Robbed.) Good luck

watching Estonia, suckers!

We have to retaliate. Great Australian inventions like cask wine, tramp stamp tattoos, hook turns and the tall poppy syndrome should be withdrawn from the continent entirely. Terms like ‘stone the flaming crows’, ‘fair suck of the sauce bottle’ and ‘drongo’ will be flat-out banned, meaning every episode of ‘Home and Away’ featuring a scene with Alf Stewart will have to be majorly re-edited. The folks in Brussels won’t know what hit them. I can’t even recall the last time European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen opened her mouth without using either the term ‘flaming galah’ or ‘drop-kick’ at least once. Hugh Jackman will no longer speak to them.

Forget ‘Brexit’ – Jackxit is where European resolve is truly tested.

If you’re thinking about reading the proposed free trade deal for yourself, it seems only fair to warn you that it is not a riveting read. Although it will make you hungry. I’d tell you more about it but I don’t want to give away the ending. I just hope neither side goes overboard. After all, what does it matter what it’s called so long as it’s still delicious? They say a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Except you can’t call it a ‘rose’ anymore and, instead, are legally obliged to refer to it as ‘perennial flowering bee magnet’. It must be super awkward for the negotiators over dinner. I’d say ‘bon appetite’ but I suspect it’s not allowed. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

MORNINGTON NEWS

Stonecats gone in first week DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON YCW have gone crashing out of finals in week one after falling to Bonbeach on Sunday.

Bonbeach got off to a stunning start at RJ Rowley Reserve. They booted nine goals to zero in the first quarter and held a whopping 57 point lead by quarter time.

The Stonecats were better in the second quarter but by then the damage was already done. They couldn’t get close to the Sharks, and ended up falling to defeat 10.14 (74) to 20.9 (129).

Shane McDonald’s five goal haul saw him named best on ground for the day.

At Olympic Oval on Saturday, Pines and Dromana faced off in the qualifying final. The contest saw last year’s Division One and Division Two premiers go head to head.

The Pythons got off to an impressive start with a five goal first term, and took a 20 point lead into the first break.

Dromana wrestled control of the game back in the second quarter, and stunned the Pines with a six goals to one stretch. The Tigers led by 17 at half time.

Pines chipped the deficit back to two points heading into the final term, but Dromana ended up holding on. The Tigers have fit right into the first division this season, and proved their quality by knocking off the reigning premiers 10.11 (71) to 13.9 (87).

Terry Wheeler continued his brilliant run of form. He was Dromana’s best and kicked two goals. Ethan Johnstone kicked four goals.

On Saturday Sorrento will take on Dromana at RJ Rowley Reserve with the winner progressing to the Grand Final. Pines will take on Bonbeach at Chelsea Reserve on Sunday.

Tigers roar to victory: Dromana proved their worth in Division One by knocking off last year’s premiers, Pines. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Holt’s haul puts Bulls in prelim DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn A MAMMOTH 11 goal haul from star forward Marc Holt helped Karingal to a win over Somerville on Sunday.

It was do or die for both sides, with the winner advancing to next week’s preliminary final and the loser being eliminated from premiership contention.

Karingal got off to a red hot start, booting seven goals to two in the first term to race out to an early lead.

Somerville were a little better in the second quarter, but were still down by 25 at half time.

In the third quarter, Somerville started to make Karingal feel a little nervous. They chipped the lead back to 11 heading into the final term.

Karingal were just able to do enough to hold off Somerville in the end, getting the win in an entertaining contest 18.12 (120) to 15.10 (100).

At Chelsea Reserve, Red Hill booked their grand final spot with a comfortable win over Langwarrin.

A five goals to one first term put Langwarrin in the lead, as they looked to shock the league by claiming wins over Karingal and Red Hill in consecutive weeks. Red Hill rarely concede any more than five goals during the whole game, making the first quarter blitz even more of a shock.

PAGE 34

Mornington News

In the second quarter the Hillmen woke up. They hit back with a seven goals to zero term, stopping the Kangaroos in their tracks and taking a 21 point lead into the main break.

Langwarrin chipped the lead back to ten after half-time, but Red Hill eventually ran away with a 40 point win 15.11 (101) to 9.7 (61).

Jonathon Ross was brilliant for Red Hill, bootting five goals. He scored 50 over the course of the home and away season. Kyle Beveridge and Daniel Frampton also played a big part in the win.

After falling just short of the premiership last year, Red Hill will be full of fire looking to make amends this time around. They are the first team to book their ticket to the Grand Final in two weeks time.

Langwarrin and Karingal will do battle at Somerville Recreation Reserve on Saturday, with the winner to square off against Red Hill in the big dance. The Bulls will be looking for revenge after the last clash between the sides. Karingal and Langy faced off in the qualifying final, with the Kangaroos claiming the win.

Hillmen bounce the Kangaroos: Red Hill booked their Grand Final berth with a comfortable win over Langwarrin.

MORNINGTON NEWS scoreboard

Somerville set for title celebration SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOMERVILLE should clinch the State 5 South title by defeating third-bottom Bunyip District on Saturday.

The local outfit enjoyed an 11-goal romp against bottom side Hampton Park United last weekend while Old Mentonians continued to drop the baton in the championship chase by drawing 2-2 with Rosebud at Olympic Village.

Old Mentonians got off to a dream start when Chris Gibson put them in front after three minutes but goals to Cory Osorio and Chris Hatzikonstantinos had the home side ahead at half-time.

Old Mentonians’ leading scorer Rannesh Krishnan had started on the bench but he came on early in the second half and equalised in the 52nd minute but the visitors were unable to claim all three points.

What was a neck-and-neck struggle just a few rounds ago has turned into a stroll to the line for Somerville and another title triumph for the Scott Morrison and Dave Greening partnership seems assured given that they need just one point with two matches remaining.

Mark Pagliarulo and Greening have formed a lethal strike force this season and the struggling Hampton Park outfit had little chance of keeping them at arm’s length.

The avalanche of goals at KM Reedy Reserve was supplied by Pagliarulo (6), Carlo Cardoso (2), Callum Richardson, Daniel Hodge and Ben Meiklem.

Although Greening was unusually absent from the scorers’ list he was credited with seven assists.

In NPL2 news Langwarrin drew 1-1 with Goulburn Valley Suns at Lawton Park on Saturday.

A well-executed glancing header from Max Etheridge following a David Stirton corner in the 5th minute put the home side in front but a superb diving header from Alou Kuol in the 16th minute levelled proceedings.

In other Langy news the much-rumoured clinching of Ryan Paczkowski’s signature is unlikely to eventuate as it’s believed that the former Mornington striker and current Oakleigh Cannons star is negotiating a new deal to extend his stay at Jack Edwards Reserve.

Scottish midfielder Scott Lochhead, 22, is training with Langy and has an impressive CV which includes spells with Rangers, Celtic, Dundee United and Dunfermline.

Lochhead arrived in Melbourne in February to join Bentleigh Greens but is keen to switch to Lawton Park for the upcoming season.

Langy has released second-string keeper Faraz Zenoozi to make way on its senior list for Luke Goulding who was named in the under-20s list when initially signed from Melbourne Victory and could only play nine senior games under NPL rules.

Langwarrin’s under-15s clinched the NPL title on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Port Melbourne giving Don Delaney’s side an unassailable lead with three games to go.

In NPLW news Southern United lost 3-2 to Senior NTC at Monterey Reserve on Saturday with Southern’s goals coming from defender Sarah Tebbutt and US import Jennifer Lum.

Dynamic duo: Somerville strikers Dave Greening (left) and Mark Pagliarulo have scored 41 league goals this season. Pictures: John Punshon

The under-19s were overrun in the second half

by Young NTC going down 7-0 but Southern’s under-16s won 3-1 thanks to a Rhys McKenna brace and a close-range strike from Ezel Duyar.

In State 1 news Mornington had a 1-0 away win over St Kilda Celts last weekend.

Andy Goff prodded home a loose ball following a corner in the 28th minute and this proved decisive.

Mornington had five players aged 21 or under in its matchday squad and all enjoyed significant game time.

“I’m having a really good look at some of our future talent to see if they can make the step up next year,” Mornington head coach Adam Jamieson said.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers won 2-1 at home to Mooroolbark on Saturday.

Jonny Guthrie put Strikers in front in the 7th minute after an excellent run by Matt Harrington who beat two defenders out wide then set up the former Langwarrin midfielder who scored from close range.

Dave Brickell equalised five minutes later but four minutes into the second half Jordan “Kaka” Avraham nabbed the winner after being set up by Grant Lane in a move involving Oscar Marsden and Alpha Turay.

In State 3 news Skye United kept in front of third-placed Whitehorse United with a 2-0 away win over Diamond Valley United on Saturday.

Skye and Whitehorse are on the same points but Skye has a far superior goal difference and is unlikely to lose that advantage with just two games remaining.

Partingtons Flat is not the most inviting venue in Victorian soccer due to the quality of the pitch but that didn’t stop Skye from emerging victorious last weekend.

A first-half double from Jack Gallagher was

enough to seal the deal in a game which failed to reach any great heights.

Gallagher’s first came after 10 minutes when Mitch Blake broke into a one-on-one and a lastditch tackle saw the ball spill to Gallagher for a tap-in.

Two minutes later Gallagher was on hand to head home after a Daniel Walsh header rebounded off the crossbar.

Skye now has two home games to finish the season and successive wins will ensure promotion.

Meanwhile goalkeeper Alfonso Cardinale was given a send-off game for Frankston Pines last Friday night in a 3-3 draw with visitor Elwood City.

The former NPL gloveman has retired after a career which included stints at Goulburn Valley Suns, Keilor Park and Heatherton United.

Joe O’Connor (2) and Lachie McMinimee scored for Pines with O’Connor’s first goal in the 32nd minute coming from a good interpassing move involving Nick Simmons and McMinimee and his second in the 95th minute snatching a point for the home side.

In State 4 news Baxter held a players’ meeting last Thursday night and decided to go ahead and honour its home fixture against Sandown Lions on Saturday.

Sandown, Springvale City and some of their club associates faced charges arising from an abandoned fixture at Ross Reserve early in August.

A Football Victoria tribunal hearing was held last week and both clubs were fined and given points deductions but the fallout also affected Baxter whose director of coaching Billy McLeod is understood to have resigned his post with his father and senior team manager following suit both believing that Saturday’s match should not have gone ahead.

It did and as expected Sandown had the bulk of

possession but chose to waste it with a succession of poorly executed shots from distance.

When the visitors did hit the target they found Baxter keeper James Foster and the crossbar significant hurdles but Sandown eventually prevailed 1-0 in controversial circumstances.

How the referee found so much time added in a contest where no players required onfield treatment during normal time remains a mystery but six minutes into injury time Masur Kuei scored after Baxter failed to effectively clear following a corner.

Off the field a leading Baxter administrator expressed dismay at Langwarrin’s failure to provide a formal proposal after both clubs held secret meetings earlier this season to discuss a partnership arrangement for 2020.

It’s believed that Langwarrin was prepared to offer financial compensation for providing training and matchday facilities at Baxter Park for Langy’s community junior sides, its women’s program and its Bayside teams.

The Baxter administrator claims that Langwarrin also wanted to have two representatives on the Baxter committee and led Baxter to believe that a written proposal was being formulated.

“That was about two months ago but we‘re not holding our breath,” the Baxter source said.

However Langwarrin’s reticence to respond is understood to be based on uncertainty over the level of Baxter’s alleged debt.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United was eventually rewarded for its pressure with a 1-0 away win over Springvale City last Friday night.

The visitors had to wait until the 58th minute and the winner came via a Jeremy Schwellinger strike that took a wicked bounce on a patchy Ross Reserve surface.

In a late push for an equaliser Springvale sent numbers forward and looked dangerous in doing so but couldn’t penetrate Seaford’s goal.

In State 5 Aspendale Stingrays thumped Casey Panthers 5-1 last weekend in a fixture switched to Kingston Heath Soccer Complex.

A Sam Timuska-Carr strike in the 44th minute gave Aspendale a half-time lead and although Casey levelled early in the second half it couldn’t keep the Stingrays at bay and goals from Kieran Hughes (2), Nathan Barnett and substitute Anthony Segavac rounded off the scoreline.

Aspendale’s best were Peter Dimopoulos, Hughes and Sonny Lindsay.

Speedy Miss set for big Spring HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou THE Matt Laurie-trained Algadon Miss announced herself as a potential Stakes contender in the Spring by scoring backto-back victories at Moonee Valley on Saturday 24 August.

The pint-sized speedster settled in behind the leaders before kicking strongly around the bend to run away with the benchmark 84 victory over the Busuttin/Young-trained Angelic Spirit and Danny O’Brien-trained, Fabric.

Not only was the performance impressive to the eye, but the mare also clocked the quickest time of all four 1200m contests on the day.

The victory bought up Algadons Miss’ fifth victory from eight career starts and continued her unbeaten record at the track, having won all three of her races there.

Mornington-based trainer Matt Laurie said he believes the mare will eventually measure up to Stakes class but isn’t in a rush to send her there until she’s ready.

“I’ve had other horses that have achieved Stakes success that haven’t had as good of a start to their career as she has so you’d have to assume [that she can reach that level],” Laurie said.

“I thought it may have been all a bit too early and possibly the Autumn might be the time to sort of do that, but we’ll have to see what’s there and how she pulls up.”

What has impressed Laurie the most about the mare is the way her racing style has changed from her first preparation to now. Rather than just being a one-dimensional front runner, Algadon Miss has proven to be much more adaptable in her races and be able to settle in a range of positions in the run.

“I like the fact that she’s probably going about it a little bit differently now,” Laurie said.

“She’s relaxing nice and she’s producing when she’s asked and putting them away. All her runs this preparation have been really good and to put two on end again in Saturday racing is very satisfying.”

There are plenty of options for Algadon Miss going forward, but Laurie was toying with the idea of freshening up the lightly framed mare who has already had five runs this preparation before making a plan for her Spring targets.
