New MRC boss has Mornington on his mind THE responsibility of recently appointed Melbourne Racing Club chief executive Brodie Arnhold includes oversight of three racecourses – Caulfield, Sportingbet Park (Sandown) and Mornington.

It is for the latter of the trio, however, that he holds some of his most grand visions.

Combining first-class credentials in business with a love for the sport in which he now works, Mr Arnhold also possesses a passion for the peninsula that explains his soft spot for racing at Mornington.

The passion stems from a long affinity with the area; not only are he and his family long-time holidaymakers at Mt Martha, but also he counts Mornington horse trainer Alex Macpherson as a friend as well as a conditioner of horses he has raced.

“My family and I spend a lot of time in Mt Martha, although I wish it was more as I absolutely love the area,” Mr Arnhold said.

“I’ve also had horses such as Kelshiki and On The Green trained at Mornington by Alex, so I have strong ties with the area from a personal and racing perspective.”

It is perhaps for this reason that Mr Arnhold displays an obvious passion for racing at Mornington and has firm visions about its growth, which includes enhancing the racecourse’s summer program.

Part of the chief executive’s vision is approaching the task with a blank page, meaning nothing is safe or sacred: not even the Mornington Cup. “It has been taken for granted for a long time that the Sportingbet Mornington Cup

PAGE B

Mornington News 29 October 2013

be run on the same Wednesday afternoon in February, year in and year out,” he said.

“However, we are presently undertaking an analysis to discover whether this is in fact the optimal time for the race day, or whether it is on a weekend, or perhaps even on a late afternoon or twilight period on a Friday, and not necessarily in February.

“That aside, we believe the Mornington Racing Club has the potential to become a bigger and better element of the summer tourist destination that is the Mornington Peninsula and, with that in mind, we’re keen to keep the annual racing program to the warmer months as much as possible.

“We want a day at Mornington Racecourse not simply to be about the racing, but alfresco dining and entertainment, music, fun for adults and for the whole family. Accordingly, we’re committed to making capital investment to ensure the venue is presented to the public and our members as it needs to be.”

Mornington Racing Club will start its Spring Racing campaign on 3 November with the running of the Sportingbet Peninsula Cup worth $80,000. Action will also heat up off the track with the Grand Hotel Fashions on the Field competition offering fashionistas a chance to win a share of the $40,000 prize pool.

Gates on Sportingbet Peninsula Cup Day will open at 10am with general admission tickets on sale now at Mornington Racing Club or Steeples. For more details on the Sportingbet Peninsula Cup day, go to mrc. net.au

Call to review weedkiller

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will be asked to review its use of the popular weedkiller Roundup and other chemicals in public places.

The shire is about to receive a petition calling for it to “review council’s duty of care to prevent adverse impacts of synthetic chemical use on workers and residents�.

Gene Ethics, GM-free Australia Alliance, MAdGE (Mothers Are Demystifying Genetic Engineering) and other groups want councils to phase out Roundup use by next June in “light of the evidence of its toxicity to workers, public health and the environment�.

Petitions for councils were launched at a “March Against Monsanto� in Melbourne on 12 October as part of

Poaching in Mornington, nabbed in Frankston SIX alleged abalone poachers are set to be charged after being apprehended by fisheries officers during covert night patrol operations on the Mornington Peninsula earlier this month.

Fisheries officers seized more than 200 abalone allegedly taken in intertidal zones and out of season during separate busts of a man spotted off Mills Beach in Mornington and five men nabbed at Portsea.

Mornington-based fisheries officers responded to a call to the Fisheries Victoria 24-hour reporting line and observed a man diving from a boat in shallow water off Mills Beach.

When they searched his boat after it

returned to the Olivers Hill boat ramp at Frankston, the officers found 91 abalone, all of which had been taken from the intertidal zone. A prosecution file is being prepared.

A group of five men was monitored by fisheries officers at Portsea back beach as they scoured through reef crevices and ledges at dusk.

The officers said they watched the group for several hours as they allegedly shucked abalone taken from the water.

The abalone was packed into two bags and the group split up and began walking back to London Bridge car park, the officers allege.

Two men were arrested when intercepted by the officers while two others were escorted back to the car park where a fifth man was apprehended.

It is alleged he initially denied knowing any of the men or of having any involvement with the group of alleged poachers.

The officers claim screwdrivers used to shuck abalone were located in the boot of his car and that he had driven two of the men to Portsea earlier in the evening.

Of a total of 116 abalone seized, 104 had been shucked and 47 were undersized.

There is a permanent ban on taking

abalone from Port Phillip except on nominated days.

The bag limit on those days is five per person and abalone may not be taken before sunrise or after sunset or from an intertidal zone.

It is also illegal to shuck abalone, or be in possession of shucked abalone, or land-shucked abalone, or to use knives, screwdrivers or any sharp instrument.

The minimum length for abalone taken from Port Phillip is 10 centimetres.

The five men caught at Portsea will be charged on summons for taking more than twice the catch limit of abalone, taking undersized abalone, taking abalone in the closed season, taking

abalone after dark, shucking abalone and taking shellfish from the intertidal zone.

A number of the men will also be charged with the more serious offence of providing false and misleading information to fisheries officers.

Senior fisheries officer Rod Barber said both incidents showed an indiscriminate approach to harvesting the state’s vulnerable abalone and shellfish resources. He said the actions of poachers had a highly detrimental effect on intertidal reef systems.

Anyone who sees or suspects illegal fishing activity is urged to call the 24hour reporting line, 13FISH.

Doco on world’s first seismologist A DOCUMENTARY about John Milne, the father of modern seismology, will be shown in Mornington mid-November.

The film was commissioned by Dr William Twycross of Mansfield, a great-nephew of Milne, and produced

by Keith White of Lavender Hill Multimedia of Red Hill South. Dr Twycross is also a descendant of the Burrell family of McCrae Homestead fame.

The Man Who Mapped the Shaking World tells the story of the man who invented the first continuously recording seismograph. Early experiments included hanging weights off wires and springs, and observing liquids in beakers.

Dr Twycross said he had many of

his great uncle’s original journals, including a map showing a dotted line off the coast of Sendai.

Milne wrote in the 1880s “the side of Japan where earthquakes are most frequent is the side which slopes down steeply beneath an ocean”.

The epicentre of the 2011 Japanese earthquake was identified more than a century ago by Milne, who deduced the earthquake fault line near Japan’s east coast.

Milne was an intrepid traveller and visited Iceland, Egypt, Japan, Russia, China, Australia and New Zealand.

In Melbourne in 1887, he installed his seismograph at the Melbourne Observatory in 1887. It is displayed at the Melbourne Museum.

He persuaded the Japanese

government to install hundreds of seismographs at telegraph stations around the nation.

In 1895, Milne was awarded the Third Order of the Rising Sun by the emperor for his earthquake research.  The Man Who Mapped the Shaking World will be shown at Mornington and District Historical Society’s coffee morning at 10.30am on Tuesday 12 November at St Mark’s Uniting Church, Barkly St. Mornington.

Police drive on National award for peninsula pinot plate thieves POLICE have mounted a major campaign targeting number plate theft, with crime statistics revealing the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston are among the state’s worst affected regions.

More than 10,000 number plates were reported stolen to police in the past financial year, prompting a call for community assistance to tackle the problem. A three-month operation, dubbed SAFEPL8, was launched last week as a joint initiative between Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, Victorian Automobile Club of Victoria, Crime Stoppers and Neighbourhood Watch.

Assistant Commissioner Andrew Crisp said number plate theft was often a gateway to more serious crime.

“Intelligence tells us that stolen plates are known to be used in burglaries, drug trafficking and petrol driveoffs,” he said.

“It’s a preventable crime that takes officers off the street and away from their patrol duties.

“We’re calling on the community to be vigilant when it comes to preventing number plate theft by fitting oneway screws and, where possible, parking off the street and in well-lit areas.

He said any extra time required by a thief to remove number plates greatly reduced the risk of them being stolen.

“By targeting number plate theft to-

gether, we can help make our homes, streets and communities safer.”

Anyone with information about number plate theft is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

For information about buying and fitting one-way screws as well as other resources, visit www.police.vic.gov.au

Path waiting list RESIDENTS calling for a footpath in Strachans Rd, Mornington, between Swansea Grove and Adelaide St are likely in for a long wait.

The path is number 148 on a list of 344 footpaths waiting for construction by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

There are 79 footpaths “programmed” to be built over the next four years.

Seventeen residents signed a petition saying the unmade section of the footpath is “dangerous, particularly to elderly residents who use walking aids and mobile scooters”.

Infrastructure planning officer Peter Frazer told council’s 14 October meeting residents would have to pay half of the $180,000 construction costs but “here is $12 million worth of higher-ranked footpaths ahead of this footpath”. “Presently, there is $31 million worth of footpath requests on the shire’s database, with an annual budget of $1.5 million per year,” he said.

THE first pinot noir made from vines growing on a small section of Yabby Lake Vineyard at Tuerong has won a top national award.

The win by Yabby Lake Block 1 pinot noir 2012 was the first time in its 52-year history that a pinot noir has taken out the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy.

“We are humbled and thrilled to be part of this special honour roll of Australian wine and accept the award on behalf of all the early pioneers of pinot noir in this country,” winemaker Tom Carson said.

“It is an exciting endorsement of not only our belief in the calibre of our special site but also what the variety is capable of on the Mornington Peninsula as a whole – a region with less than a 40-year history growing pinot noir.”

The vineyard produced 3836 bottles of the Block 1 pinot noir from grapes grown on a small parcel of land in its northern corner.

A single-vineyard chardonnay won three trophies at the Royal Melbourne Wine Awards in 2011.

The Block 1 pinot noir 2012 was the first made since the block program began in 2008 and will be released on Monday 28 October along with a pinot noir from block two and a Block 1 Chardonnay 2012.

Yabby Lake was established by the Kirby family in 1998 and is headed by Mr Carson, who is chief winemaker and general manager.

He said the award was “testament to the vision and commitment of the Kirby family and the small and dedicated Yabby Lake team”.

“The Kirbys’ uncompromising approach to site selection and planting in the early days, and their support and faith in the team ever since has allowed us the very best opportunity to craft wines of remarkable quality and character.”

Wine win: Yabby Lake Vineyard winemaker Tom Carson accepts the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy for Yabby Lake Vineyard’s 2012 block one pinot noir.

Health network CEO to join Yooralla

By Mike Hast SHERENE Devanesen, Peninsula Health’s CEO of 13 years, has resigned to become chief operating officer of Yooralla Society of Victoria.

Dr Devanesen starts at Yooralla early next year and Peninsula Health has begun looking for her replacement.

The health network advertised for a new CEO in The Age last weekend, unusually naming Dr Devanesen in the advert and praising her work.

Peninsula Health staff were told of her resignation about two weeks ago in a note from network board chair Nancy Hogan.

Dr Devanesen has worked in the Victorian Public Health Service for 25 years, all but one with Peninsula Health as well as Frankston and Rosebud hospitals before the network was founded in 1995.

Ms Hogan stated that Dr Devanesen had decided to join the not-for-profit disability sector as it “fits with her philosophy of life”.

She stated that under Dr Devanesen, Peninsula Health had enhanced the range and quality of services, developed into a “substantial teaching organisation”, integrated the network’s health care services, and enhanced its “physical facilities”.

Dr Devanesen has represented the health sector on state and national bodies, been president of the Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators, been a surveyor with the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards, and helped the Hong Kong government reform parts of its medical workforce after the SARS outbreak (severe acute respiratory syndrome), which killed 775 people in 2002-03,

mostly in Hong Kong.

Dr Devanesen is chairperson of Wesley Mission Victoria and has been a voluntary board member for eight years.

Yooralla was founded in 1918 as a preschool for children with a disability and became one of the state’s leading disability care organisations. It is based

in Blackburn South and has centres in South Melbourne and Brooklyn.

It is one of the state’s leading organisations providing services under the federal government’s new DisabilityCare system, formerly called NDIS, the National Disability Insurance Scheme, established by the Gilliard government earlier this year.

Federal officials impressed by Red Bluff work THE work of Mornington Environment Association volunteers restoring Mills Beach foreshore and the town’s iconic Red Bluff has been given a big tick by the federal Department of Environment.

Jane Dewing and Brendan French of the department’s biodiversity conservation division inspected the precinct mid-month with MEA members for two hours in a howling gale.

Mornington Peninsula Shire conservation officer Jo-anne Tetteroo

joined the party for the first hour, showing the Canberra visitors what weeds had been removed and the different plants put in by MEA volunteers as well as paid contractors.

MEA was given a federal grant for stage three of its “Mills Beach coast banksia woodland restoration� and “Red Bluff Mornington headland scrub restoration�.

Association president Jan Oliver said the inspection took in “the foreshore behind the boatsheds on Mills Beach and the recently replanted Red Bluff�.

“It was a wild and woolly day and Tanti Creek was in flood,� she said. “The visit was part of the department’s requirement to inspect up to 10 per cent of grants given to community groups to restore habitats.�

Ms Oliver said the visitors “were surprised at the scale of the work done during volunteer working bees, working with contractors, and the pressure placed on the areas by beachgoers and walkers�. “We also showed them some new banksias that have died off for no

apparent reason, although some natural regeneration is occurring. “Many of the two-year-old sheoaks and other salt-tolerant plants and creepers are doing really well at both sites.�

She said Ms Dewing and Mr French were impressed the whole of Red Bluff, Tanti Creek estuary and Mills Beach had received grants to be weeded and replanted and that the work was done by volunteers, many of them retired.

The association received a letter from Michelle McNamara, a

general director of the department’s biodiversity conservation division: “We acknowledge the contribution the MEA has made towards achieving the Community Action Grant outcomes.

We are pleased to have had the opportunity to work in partnership with MEA to achieve an environment that is healthy, better protected, wellmanaged and resilient, and provides essential ecosystem services in a changing environment.�

Warning over power cuts

By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula residents are being urged to prepare for major power outages that may occur during bushfires and extreme weather events, such as storms and heatwaves.

The peninsula’s main electricity distributor, United Energy, is sending 640,000 information packs to customers on what to do in the lead-up to bushfire season and how to respond to power supply cuts.

United Energy chief executive Hugh Gleeson said recent wild storms and anticipation of another summer of extreme fire risk provided a timely reminder to peninsula residents of the need to be prepared for the worst.

“It is integral that customers know what important steps they need to take on their property to prepare for an emergency or outage,” Mr Gleeson said.

“To reduce risks arising from weather and fire, we maintain our network year round with initiatives such as a vegetation management programs but we cannot do it alone – safety is everyone’s responsibility.

“Holiday homes are often in need of vegetation maintenance if they’ve been left empty through the winter months, and the influx of people over summer means a greater load on the network.

“Increased community awareness of risk factors and providing clear instructions on what to do during an emergency situation that impacts power supply can help prevent serious injury and even loss of life.

He said a brochure being sent to cus-

The research team suspects Roundup might cause pregnancy problems by interfering with hormone production, possibly leading to abnormal fetal development, low birth weights or miscarriages.

Roundup’s manufacturer Monsanto stated the methods used in the study didn’t reflect realistic conditions and that the weedkiller, sold since the 1970s, was safe when used as directed.

Monsanto’s John Combest said Roundup was used in public parks and “to protect schools”.

“There’s been a great deal of study on Roundup, and we’re very proud of its performance.”

Mr Phelps said the French research “highlight the need for health agencies to reconsider the safety of Roundup”.

Controversy about the safety of the weedkiller recently erupted in Argentina, one of the world’s largest exporters of soy.

tomers would provide advice on how to prepare for an emergency, such as having the electricity faults and emergencies line number on hand and having a battery-powered radio available to listen to weather conditions.

“During a power outage, residents can check when power will be restored by sending an SMS with their postcode to 0447 100 333.”

During an outage, residents are ad-

vised to check neighbours’ houses to see if they have also lost power and, if a widespread power outage is confirmed, to check if any elderly or sick neighbours need help. After ensuring all lights and appliances are switched off, residents should leave one light switched on to see when the power comes back on.

People should keep well clear of fallen powerlines and contact 132 099 as

soon as possible. In a life-threatening situation, always call 000.

Other advice to prepare for an emergency includes keeping torches and lanterns readily accessible with fresh batteries, having access to a phone that doesn’t need electricity – such as a mobile phone or phone with a cord – and keeping mobile phones charged and, where possible, the internet active.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will investigate publishing how much it pays consultants, although not in the annual report.

CEO Michael Kennedy, in response to a question from Barry Robinson at council’s 14 October meeting, said the information, if made public, would be separate to the annual report.

Mr Robinson, of McCrae, said he had asked Dr Kennedy the same question “several” times.

“While I accept that this information is not mandatory [in the annual report], it would provide more transparency in shire management. Why is it not included?” he asked.

Surfer’s life in and out of the water

By Keith Platt HEROES and villains are standard fare for documentaries, and surfer Wayne Lynch comes out on the side of the angels in the latest production by director Craig Griffin.

Griffin’s Uncharted Waters follows Lynch’s surfing life, one that has given him a status way above many surfers who have won world titles or ridden monster waves.

Brought up on the west coast waves around his hometown Lorne, Lynch burst onto the scene and showed what it was possible to make a surfboard do when filmed for the 1969 surf movie Evolution.

Still in his early teens, the movie showed Lynch surfing the then relatively unknown waves of Bali with a style and grace that flowed but was also seen as radical.

He basically owned the backhand re-entry and cool approach to powerful waves breaking on shallow coral reefs.

His filmic exploits also gave exposure to the exotic delights waiting for Australian surfers in Bali – now as familiar to them as Noosa or Narrabeen, despite differences in culture and language.

Lynch’s public persona was enhanced by a reticence for publicity, a love–hate relationship with the surf industry, drugs, early interest in conserving the environment, going into hiding during the Vietnam War and, later, spending time with Aborigines in Arnhem Land.

After a bout of malaria in the 1980s and being told he would never surf

again, Lynch returned to competitive surfing to win the Coke and Surfabout contests.

More than 40 years after that first surf movie by Paul Witzig, Lynch is once again being presented as an enigma on the large screen.

Two years in the making, Uncharted Waters – “the personal history of Wayne Lynch” – had its Australian

premier at this year’s Melbourne Film Festival in July and is coming to Sorrento and Karingal in November.

Kent Stannard, of Blairgowrie, who runs surf clothing brand White Tag, contributed toward the cost of the film as well as bringing together his friends, Lynch and director Griffen.

Griffen directed a documentary about footballer Ben Cousins and was

executive producer for the cult surf film First Love and, before that, Not Quite Hollywood.

Stannard has enlisted Lynch’s help for his not-for-profit Tag For Life which, with the CSIRO and Melbourne Aquarium, investigates the life of white sharks.

A large part of the research involves catching (Stannard calls it shark wran-

gling) and then tagging sharks with transmitters for satellite tracking.

“Wayne is involved with me on the white shark project and has had a long fascination with them.

“Despite a couple of close encounters with them in the water, he is extremely interested in conservation of the species, while readily admitting he is scared of them.”

Part of Uncharted Waters was shot on a white shark research trip with a CSIRO scientist.

“Wayne’s role is to help spread the word among the surfing community that these animals play a critical role in the wellbeing of the marine environment and deserve their conservation status as a protected species. The shark features as his totem,” Stannard said.

He said other parts of Lynch’s life explored in Uncharted Waters included his family, nearly losing his daughter in a car accident, a heart attack “and a downward spiral dealing with the modern commercial world, how crowds on the coast have resulted in him surfing very little and how sailing has taken over from surfing as his real passion”.

Uncharted Waters is being screened at Village Cinemas in Karingal on Wednesday 20 November and at the Sorrento cinema on Friday 22 November.

Sex slavery too close for comfort

By Mike Hast SEX slavery and human trafficking is a problem in Third World countries, right? Wrong. It’s happening in Melbourne.

This was the core message from Kelly Hinton, executive director of Project Respect, when she was guest speaker at last week’s “Optimist” dinner organised by Soroptimist International Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula branch.

About 100 Frankston and peninsula people packed Frankston’s Uniting Church hall for the fundraiser, and listened intently to the grim story about how trafficking of women for Melbourne’s legal brothels is a shocking reality.

The project started in 1998 when activist Kathleen Maltzahn returned from working in the Philippines with women in street, bar and military prostitution.

Ms Maltzahn started doing outreach work in Melbourne brothels and saw what she believed were signs of women who had been trafficked.

It’s hard to believe this occurs in a city where the legalisation of the sex industry was supposed to improve conditions for women.

Project Respect works to create a world where women are free from trafficking, prostitution and sexual exploitation, Kelly Hinton told the Frankston audience.

“In 2003, Project Respect spearheaded a national campaign to encourage the Australian government to recognise people trafficking as a problem in Australia and to respond to it,” she said.

“The government provided a $20 million counter-trafficking package in October 2003. A key element of this early work included stories published in The Australian newspaper by the late Elisabeth Wynhausen.”

Ms Hinton said the project was a non-profit, community-based organisation that “works in a truly wholistic, client-centred manner with women in the sex industry”.

“We aim to prevent exploitation and enslavement of women by the industry through empowerment, advocacy, education and activism.”

She said many women in Melbourne brothels were recruited from overseas, and tricked or forced to work in the sex industry.

“Some are sex industry workers in their home country but are deceived about conditions here.

“The women are often recruited by someone they know, who gets a commission. They are shown how to apply for a visa, often a one-year tourist visa, and given a plane ticket.

“They are met at Melbourne airport and driven to a brothel, where they are told they now owe many thousands of dollars and must pay back the debt by working six days a week in legal brothels.

“The women cannot refuse jobs or clients, they are charged fines for being sick or late, and are forced to pay for ‘beauty’ therapies, accommodation, food and phone credit.”

Many are forced to work in “horrid conditions”.

Ms Hinton said passports were not confiscated nowadays. “They are controlled in other ways such as by threats

Strong message: Soroptimist Bronwyn van der Meche, left, Kelly Hinton of Project Respect and Soroptimist Sue Whitehead at the fundraising dinner in Frankston last week.

of psychological and physical violence or threats to family back home. Many are forced to take drugs such as ice and become addicted.”

The women were told going to the police was not an option as they were corrupt. This was believable as police corruption is common in other countries, she said.

Ms Hinton told the story of one woman from Asia, in her own words: “They didn’t harm me physically, but they have carved memories that I never cannot forget. I have to live with these memories in rest of life. It might be better to die. I’m distressed whenever random memories pop up in my head or whenever I am plagued with thoughts of what happened to me. And I’m very sorry to me. I’m so sorry to my eyes because I couldn’t show them

beautiful views, I’m so sorry to my brain and heart because [I] couldn’t offer happy memories and I’m so sorry to my ears because I couldn’t tell good stories. What I feel sorry to the most is my body.”

Ms Hinton, a member of Soroptimist International in Melbourne, said Project Respect worked with overseas women as well as Australians.

She said there was a misconception women entered the sex industry of their own choice and free will.

“There is heaps of research that shows many are not happy in the industry. They often enter the industry due to lack of work options.

“Most women who wish to leave face significant barriers including gaps in their resumes, lack of education and lack of confidence.”

Women faced violence, rape, assault, financial abuse and intimidation in the industry. “There is huge stigma around women, but not the men who use brothels.”  The fundraiser included music by a quartet from Mornington Secondary College as well as artwork by Hannah Herbert, a year 12 student at Western Port Secondary College and Soroptimist scholarship-holder. Dinner was from Afghani Kitchen, founded by Afghani refugee Mehro Amiri.

Does God Love This World?

“For God so loved the world He gave His Only son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send His son to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already..”.(John 3:16-18 Bible). God loves the world & everything & everyone in it, there is no question of this! No matter what you have done or who you are, God’s loving arms are held open wide for you.

He loves you! There is no-one or nothing that God’s love cannot reach to heal, forgive & set free. “For God So loved..”.No-one can love like God does, as He is love, pure, holy, complete. When God says He loves you, then you have available the very favour & acceptance of God almighty. “If God is for you then who can be against you.” I would rather the favour of God than the stamp of approval of any friend or king or prime minister. As God’s word cannot be broken & reaches into eternity. Why did He give His son? God is Holy & sin cannot enter His presence. God Hates sin but loves the sinner. However the sinner if full of sin & must pay the consequences for that sin. “The wages of sin is death/hell, but the gift of God is eternal life”. The punishment for our own actions is far too much for us to bear, so God made a way for us to be pardoned, forgiven, set free from our due penalty which we deserve, by sending Jesus, God’s only loved & begotten son to come & pay the price for us. He took our place as a substitute.

He took the punishment that we should rightfully receive for all our wrong, sin, selfishness, pride & greed, adultery, theft, murder & the list goes on & on. Now He offers it as a FREE gift & pardon. All we need to do is believe! Isn’t it time you came to God?

Launch launched: Port Phillip Sea Pilots’ revamped pilot launch Victoria III is lowered into Mornington harbour last week watched by Hart Marine staff.

Praise for boatbuilder MORNINGTON-based boat builder Hart Marine topped the list at Frankston and MP Excellence in Business Awards last Thursday, winning the manufacturing category and the overall award.

It was a busy week for the innovative manufacturer that specialises in highperformance yachts, motorboats, commercial workboats and, more recently, pilot boats.

On Tuesday, the company lowered into Mornington harbour its latest craft – the “repowered” Port Phillip Sea Pilots launch Victoria III. The boat was built in Western Australia in the early 1990s and Hart Marine was chosen to upgrade it.

The company’s general manager Graeme Taylor said its twin 300hp motors had been replaced with 425hp common rail diesels.

The two-month project included “cabin work, new electrics, anti-fouling paint on the hull, and new propellors and rudders”.

Factory manager Aaron Haigh said the motors would push the launch to a top speed of 27 knots, up from the old speed of 21 knots, and had “exceeded the sea pilots’ expectations with lower noise levels, and improved emissions controls and fuel consumption”.

Hart Marine next week finishes a boat for the Port of Geraldton, a 15.6-metre launch similar to Bellarine, which was built for Port Phillip Sea Pilots earlier this year.

The Geraldton launch, as yet unnamed, will be trucked across the Nullarbor to WA and delivered in early December after sea trials on Port Phillip.

Another 15.6-metre launch, destined for the Port of Esperance in WA, is out of the mould and being assembled.

The company is also building two more launches, one for Port Kembla in NSW and one for a company that will lease it to Chevron for its gas project on Barrow Island in WA. Hart Marine, led by Mal Hart, is one of the peninsula’s great manufacturing success stories, a world leader in constructing fibreglass reinforced plastic craft for clients in Australia, the United States, United Kingdom, Japan and other countries in Asia.

It has built three launches for Port Phillip Sea Pilots using a design by Pantocarene, a French naval architectural company that has revolutionised pilot and rescue boat design with a distinctive “beak” bow that slices through heavy seas, producing less vertical acceleration and a smoother ride.

The launches are self-righting, have man overboard recovery systems, including a hydraulically driven underwater platform, and thick rubber fenders around the top edge (gunwale).

Drilling start for port

By Keith Platt DRILLING is about to start in the water and on the land to sample the site chosen for an expanded Port of Hastings.

Once built, the container port could become the largest in Australia with thousands of ships a year coming in and out of Western Port.

Bore samples will be taken from 25 sites on land owned by BlueScope Steel as well as private owners around the Whitneys Rd area in Tyabb Construction of the port north of Long Island Point is expected to start in five years after three years of detailed scientific studies.

Planners see Hastings as beginning to take the overflow of containers from the Port of Melbourne by the mid2020s.

Hastings is seen as the only option by the state government for a so-called “megaport” able to cope with demand over the next century.

Expanding port facilities at either Stony Point or Crib Point has been ruled out through lack of land and the necessity for containers to be carried by road through Hastings township.

Although the state government is determined to build the new port, the Port of Hastings Development Authority is using the label “feasibility” for its next phase of operations.

The authority’s CEO David Lean last week outlined his view of the port’s progress to members of Western Port Catchment Committee, including news that contractors had been chosen for geotechnical testing.

Mr Lean said dredging was needed for the port to handle large container

vessels, although to what extent is unknown.

Mr Lean said he had spoken to four “large dredging companies who are all aware of the environment”, including Western Port being a Ramsar-listed wetland, which commits Australia to maintain its ecological character.

“Geographically, we have no other options,” Mr Lean said, adding that the state would have a “crippled economy if we don’t have a gateway to the world”.

He said there would be “compromises and trade-offs throughout the project”.

Mr Lean said he understood the importance of mangroves but “sensed a bit of angst in the room”.

“I’m telling you the truth; we don’t know what this project will look like.

There’s nothing cast in stone yet and we’re doing studies to come up with a solution.”

Mr Lean showed graphs to demonstrate how the Port of Melbourne was reaching its capacity and said Port Phillip could not be navigated by ships carrying 18,000 containers.

These megavessels were not yet coming Australia “but it won’t be long before they do”.

He predicted Hastings would be handling up to three million containers a year by 2035, rising to nine million by 2070-2080.

The number of containers coming to and from the port would require Western Port Highway to be widened to six lanes with a railway line to Dandenong along the centre median strip.

A tunnel was vital for containers to

travel east-west across Melbourne.

Mr Lean described a computer-driven port, with containers being loaded onto trucks and trains for transport to inland ports, such as the one planned at Lyndhurst.

A “very high degree of automation” would reduce the amount of light and noise usually associated with port operations.

“You only need white light for the safety of humans and the best ports are 80 per cent automated.”

He saw the British container port at Felixstowe as an example of a modern port being located near environmentally sensitive wetlands.

The business case being made by his authority did not include exporting brown coal in bulk from Hastings, but there would be no problem if it was carried in containers.

Mr Lean said the scientific investigations “need to be tempered by experience and local knowledge”.

He said environmental values would be quantified – such as penguins and seals at Phillip Island.

Mr Lean recommended members of the catchment committee join the three community groups being established as part of its PORTicipate network.

However, in a follow-up email, one attendee described the briefing as: “Clearly the plan is predicated on a business as usual scenario, reliant on a doubling of the state’s population and a quadrupling of trade by mid-century and of course abundant fossil fuels to power the juggernaut.”

Linked by rail: A map in the state government’s Victoria Freight State report shows road and rail links from the expanded Port of Hastings.

Gina, Twiggy and Clive, deficit busters

Search for peninsula’s most loveable pet

“That is” – she squints at her notes – “if the website is correct, Clive Palmer is raking in over a million dollars an hour. That’s each hour, Dear.” Emu hates being called Dear.

“So at the end of every parliamentary Question Time he will be a million dollars richer. He might make an offer to buy our democratic system, so he can run it more efficiently.

“He might build a new Parliament House closer to his home, just for the convenience.

He’s talking about having to fly down from Queensland each day in his private jet. Such a waste of his time, don’t you think?”

Emu is hoping she has finished, but she goes on. She can be relentless.

“Then there’s the matter of parliamentary expense entitlements. It seems so wrong, don’t you think, that people get huffy over Mr Geoff Shaw getting careless with his car expenses and ending up in court, like poor Mr Peter Slipper, with the possibility of jail?

“They should all just have to give the money back if it’s decided they’ve made a mistake. If it’s OK for the Prime Minister to give the money back it should be OK for all of them. After all, the money is a political entitlement.”

She pauses. “And if it’s all right for politicians, it should be right for the rest of us. If you’re found nicking stuff by mistake you should be made to give it back and told to say sorry – not chucked in jail with actual criminals.”

Emu finds he has no argument in response.

His brain is hurting from this assault on logic. His Blushing Bride, sensing he agrees with her, heads for the kitchen, singing.

“A cup of tea, Dear?” she trills. Something stronger, he almost replies. But there is a sort of logic in what she has said – isn’t there?

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has launched a “most loveable pet” picture competition as part of the coming Peninsula Pet Expo.

Peninsula pet owners are being encouraged to take a photo of themselves with their pets and enter the competition via the shire’s website.

The major prize is a family pass to SeaWorld, Wet’n’Wild, and Movie World, plus accommodation for two nights at SeaWorld Nara resort.

Entries for the competition close at 5pm on 15 November, with the winners to be announced on the main stage at the expo.

The mayor Cr Lynn Bowden encouraged all peninsula pet owners to visit the pet expo.

“There’ll be so much for families to see and do at the free expo,” Cr Bowden said.

“Join us for the cat show and judging, cow milking and farm animal displays, Jack Russell terrier racing, the miniature pony show and more.

“Bring your pet and enter a number of competitions such as best dressed pet, largest pet, smallest pet, and pet of the year.”

The expo is from 9am-3pm on Sunday 24 November at Village Green, Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times.

For details about the most loveable pet competition and full terms and conditions, visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au An entry form must be submitted with the photo.

MRS Emu has been tapping on her electronic tablet all morning. From the rumblings and mutterings emanating from her office, as the dining room is now known, her harried spouse knows something is brewing.

Readers have probably heard the strange drumming noise we emus can make by manipulating an inflatable sac in our throats.

The dining room is vibrating with this noise, which is getting louder and louder – a worrying crescendo, thinks Emu. He feigns sleep as she enters his retreat, to no avail.

“This is a disgrace!” she exclaims, jabbing a quivering pinion feather at a sheet of paper she is carrying. “All that good publicity Mr Twiggy Forrest got for handing over $65 million to universities in Western Australia.

A disgrace!”

She glares at Emu, inviting contradiction.

He decides agreement is the prudent course, and awaits developments.

“He didn’t mention he got over $102 million in dividends recently from his company.

Do you recall that being mentioned when he was handing over the trifling $65 million, Dear?”

Emu admits he didn’t, but adds that one could consider the gift to universities as a form of direct tax payment, and well over 50 per cent of income at that.

Mrs Emu considers this carefully. Emu takes the opportunity to add that we now need to persuade the tax-resisting Mr Clive Palmer and Mrs Gina Rinehart to pay their fair share in the same way, for the benefit of the nation and the comfort of their immortal souls. This trio could put the budget in the black.

Mrs Emu snorts. “What immortal souls?

I’ve been doing a bit of research on these three.”

She peers at her printout. “I found a website that said Mrs Rinehart is worth $11.2 billion – that’s billion, Dear – which is enough to buy the space shuttle Discovery and nine launches into space, or two-thirds of Jamaica.

“Someone on $100,000 a year would take 117,200 years to earn Mrs Rinehart’s $11.2 billion – that’s billions, Dear. And she complains about having to pay tax.

“Just imagine her deciding to do a Twiggy, and pay some tax voluntarily. She could fund the entire economy of Tasmania – she could probably buy the whole island, and possibly New Zealand as well!”

Emu is beginning to feel vaguely dizzy as she peruses her paper for more salient facts.

“Do you remember her saying some miners in Africa were happy with a pay rate of $2 a day? Well, I’ve worked out they would have to work for 22,400,000 years to make Gina’s $11.2 billion. Twenty-two and a half million years! That’s probably every week since the Big Bang, with no holidays.”

She pauses for effect. She has found a website, fairgoforbillionaires.com.au, which computes the time Messrs Forrest and Clive Palmer take to earn $100,000.

“Twiggy earns that much every 8.9 minutes, poor lamb, and the prospective federal MP Clive Palmer has to wait all of 13.7 minutes for each of his hundred grand.

Eyewear As Individual As You Are Call to do shire’s budget survey A PENINSULA ratepayer group is encouraging residents and ratepayers to have a say about Mornington Peninsula Shire’s budget for next year.

Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association president Alan Nelsen said the survey was a chance for people to “indicate their concerns about rate increases”.

“Over the past 10 years, shire rates have increased by about three times the cost of living (CPI) and about twice the actual estimated increase in council costs, according to figures from the Municipal Association of Victoria,” he said.

“Our association has supported the request of many in the community for the shire to seek comment prior to developing the budget.

“In the past, the budget has been virtually set in concrete before the community was given the opportunity to comment.”

The online survey is at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/RZKR5G9 It also can be accessed through the shire’s website – www.mornpen.vic. gov.au – under “What’s On” then “Your Say”.

Shock attack to check fish stocks DEPARTMENT of Environment and Primary Industries researchers are trialling the world’s first saltwater capable electro-fishing boat as well as other cutting-edge technologies to monitor fish populations.

Fish ecologist from DEPI’s Arthur Rylah Institute Jarod Lyon said that over the past two years, researchers had been assessing the health of Victoria’s estuarine environments using electro-fishing to survey fish communities and sonar to map important habitat and aggregations of fish.

“Both techniques are much more cost effective and importantly less intrusive for the fish than traditional survey techniques, such as netting,” Mr Lyon said.

“The monitoring techniques put ARI at the forefront of research into fish habitats and populations, and provide an opportunity to get specific data about fish numbers and size whether they are in riverine, estuarine or marine habitats.”

Electrofishing has been the primary technique for surveying freshwater habitats for many years now, he said. “It was just a matter of time for this technology to advance and expand into more saline habitats.”

“We’ve already used the saltwater-capable electro-fishing boat to collect brood fishing for in-hatchery breeding programs, survey fish populations in seagrass meadows as well as monitoring the numbers of fish species popular with anglers such as Flathead, Black Bream and Estuary Perch.”

Using new electrofishing technology to amp-up fish sampling in estuarine habitats is at onlinelibrary.wiley.com

CEO admits rate report ‘wrong’ RATEPAYERS are about to receive an apology for an misleading article in the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s official newsletter, Peninsula Wide. The article stated that shire rates would rise 5.9 per cent but omitted to say that the municipal charge would rise by $20.

CEO Michael Kennedy said the mistake had not been “picked up” and an apology would be printed in the newsletter’s next edition.

Dr Kennedy was responding to a question from Gary Howard, of Dromana, about whether the CEO or the mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, to “correctly advise the ratepayer community of the annual rate increase”.

“The rate increase is not 5.9 per cent but is 5.9 per cent plus a $20 increase in the municipal charge which is the equivalent of a rate in the dollar increase of 7.73%,” Mr Howard said.

Final show for police bands THE Victoria Police show band and pipe band will have their final Frankston performances in December.

The bands, along with rock band Code 1, will be disbanded next year.

The show band and pipe band have been performing at Frankston Arts Centre for the past decade.

Victoria Police said it would “civilianise” the bands and transfer 48 musicians to frontline policing roles.

“This has been a difficult decision for executive command as the great community engagement of the three bands is well respected and recognised,” a Victoria Police statement said.

“However, in this tough economical and operational policing environment, putting an additional 48 police

into frontline policing roles while achieving long-term cost savings is a necessary realignment and refocus of police resources and priorities.

“The bands will continue to perform as scheduled for the remainder of the year while Victoria Police works through the complex process with the impacted members.”

Proceeds from the Sunday 1 December concert at Frankston Arts Centre will help the peninsula branch of the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation, which is raising money for Frankston and Rosebud hospitals.

Tickets cost $20 and bookings can be made at www.artscentre.frankston. vic.gov.au or call Frankston Arts Centre box office on 9784 1060.

Under the pump: Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg was all smiles when he received a petition from GetUp objecting to plans to build coal ports inside the Great Barrier Reef but he was less than happy with environmentists last week. Picture: Yanni

Hunt bloodied in climate brawl ANALYSIS

By David Harrison THE first weeks of the Abbott government have not been easy for its Environment Minister Greg Hunt, the federal MP for Flinders.

His first major duty was to terminate the Climate Commission and sack its chief, Professor Tim Flannery, as Coalition policy required.

Since then the likeable Mr Hunt has been assailed by questions about the new government’s policy on the carbon tax – it will be replaced by a market-based scheme, so-called Direct Action – and criticism from home and abroad about the policy’s effect.

He also found himself defending the epiphany of his leader, Prime Minister Tony Abbott, on climate change as the recent federal election loomed.

Respected Guardian columnist George Monbiot wrote that “Tony Abbott has merely switched from denying global warming to denying the need to act on it”.

The then Opposition Leader, Monbiot wrote in the British daily, was following “a familiar climate change script – deny, then defer, then delay, then despair.

“His Direct Action policy is designed to create a semblance of policy, in the certain knowledge that it will fail to achieve its objectives,” Monbiot wrote.

In the past few days, Mr Hunt had to go into battle for his leader, arguing that Mr Abbott had expressed “clear support for the science” of climate change. But Mr Hunt then reached for a novel source of support – Wikipedia – in a tense exchange with a BBC radio journalist about Mr Abbott’s climate change beliefs.

Mr Abbott had accused the United Nations’ climate chief Christiana Figueres of “talking through her hat” after she warned of increasing heatwaves and said bushfires would continue in intensity and frequency.

As fires raged across NSW, Ms Figueres warned: “We are really already paying the price of carbon. We are paying the price with wildfires, we are paying the price with droughts.”

Mr Hunt, in an interview with the BBC’s Newshour current affairs program, warned it would be unwise to link the NSW fires with climate change.

“I looked up what Wikipedia said for example just to see what the rest of the world thought,” he said.

“And it opens up with the fact that bushfires in Australia are frequently occurring events during the hotter months of the year, large areas of land are ravaged every year by bushfires, and that’s the Australian experience.”

Mr Hunt could have got this information from Professor Flannery, or just about anyone on the Crib Point train.

He had been questioned by Newshour journal-

ist Razia Iqbal about Mr Abbott’s 2009 description of climate change as “absolute crap”.

After responding that “In Parliament our Prime Minister has expressed clear support for the science”, Mr Hunt was asked if this was still the PM’s view.

“Look, with great respect you can swear on international radio, you can invite me from Australia to do this, you can be profoundly rude, I’m happy to answer, but I’m not going to be sworn at,” Mr Hunt responded loftily, deftly redefining “crap” from a common euphemism to a crudity that never forms on his lips.

Those familiar with Mr Hunt’s interview technique know that “with respect” indicates his polite annoyance; “with great respect” denotes serious irritation and “with the greatest respect”, combined with the sincerest Hunt eyebrow angle, is designed to convey barely suppressed rage.

But his is an onerous task. Mr Hunt believes strongly in two things: firstly the reality of climate change and the need to rescue the environment from it; and secondly the paramount need for Cabinet solidarity. In Cabinet he sits among a gaggle of climate infidels, including, almost certainly, the Prime Minister.

Mr Hunt also believes in a third thing: that his ability to achieve a realistic climate policy can only be achieved by being inside Cabinet. Those who might be contemplating running a sweep on how long he can endure the infidels might as well terminate the venture now. Mr Hunt will last the distance.

The post-election rampant, reckless triumphalism and “we are the champions” attitude of some of his colleagues –their version of year 12 students’ muck-up day – will soon dissipate when the real business of sober debate and hard-nosed decision-making must start. It will be ministers other than Hunt who will blow out early.

But in maintaining Cabinet solidarity he faces decisions that will bruise his personal beliefs: handing “green” decisions to redneck premiers; approving coal ports inside the Great Barrier Reef; deciding whether to allow fracking for gas in Gippsland; okaying a mammoth container and coal port at Hastings (a subject for another day); and arguing climate change science with a bunch of free-range sceptics, to name but a few.

Mr Hunt’s portfolio has a strong moral overtone: climate change is, as Kevin Rudd said, one of the great moral issues of our time. The battle will weary but not daunt our local MP. Footnote: Ms Figueres appeared to modify her remarks about bushfires and climate change after a conversation with Mr Hunt. “I was pleased to hear from Minister Hunt that the Emission Reduction Fund allied to forestry measures and targets on renewable energy and energy efficiency will deliver their internationally agreed (carbon reduction) targets in a cost-effective manner,” she said.

Gruesome end: The koala after being released from a rabbit trap that it had dragged up a tree. Its left paw was badly damaged and arm infected, and the animal could not be saved. Pictures: Nigel Williamson

Koala death trap sparks outcry

By Mike Hast GOVERNMENT authorities should run an education campaign to let people know rabbit traps are banned, says the man who rescued a koala from a trap in Langwarrin last week.

Nigel Williamson of Nigel’s Animal Rescue, based in Somerville, said it was not common knowledge that steeljawed traps were illegal in Victoria.

He released the trap from the koala’s front left paw while it was up a tree on private property opposite Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve.

The koala was euthanased the next day after being seen by a vet.

It is believed the animal could have walked into the rusty old trap while moving between trees in the reserve.

It pulled the trap’s spike out of the ground and fled across Robinsons Rd

where it was spotted by the property owner. The koala was captured after the trap was removed and taken to Tyabb wildlife carer Jenny Bryant’s place.

Mr Williamson – a former RSPCA inspector who has been saving wildlife for many years – said two claws on the koala’s paw were decomposed and its arm badly infected. “The trap could have been on its paw for up to two weeks.”

The animal was treated by Ms Bryant and taken to Westernport Veterinary Clinic in Hastings the next day where a vet said the paw and arm could not be saved.

“A three-limbed koala can’t survive,” Mr Williamson said. “Life’s tough enough when you face the risk of dog attack, traffic and habitat destruction.”

He said even possessing a rabbit trap could incur a heavy fine. Setting a trap can land people in jail.

“We need a campaign to encourage people to hand traps in to the police.

They’ve been illegal since 2008 but hardly anyone knows this.”

Mr Williamson said his former RSPCA colleague Barrie Tapp, now a senior investigator with Animal Cruelty Hotline, visits markets to warn trap sellers about the law.

The koala incident also revealed how difficult it was for people to get animals rescued.

The Langwarrin property owner first called the RSPCA and was told to call Wildlife Victoria, which no longer operates a 24-hour rescue hotline. After three calls to Wildlife Victoria, the owner called Langwarrin CFA, which

contacted Mr Williamson, who rescued the koala on Wednesday night last week.

Kim Payne of the Department of Environment and Primary Industries said wildlife officers from DEPI were working with Parks Victoria to investigate the matter.

She said anyone with information can phone 136 186.

“Reports can be made confidentially.

Without information from the public, it is unlikely we will track down the owner of the trap and/or the offender.”

Ms Payne said people caught setting these types of traps faced fines of up to $7218 or six months in prison or both under the Wildlife Act. Animal Cruelty Hotline: Free call 1800 751 770. Nigel’s Animal Rescue: 0427 533 083.

POLICE and Consumer Affairs officials have warned homeowners to be on the lookout for travelling con men offering cheap deals for odd jobs.

Crime Stoppers and Consumer Affairs Victoria have warned Frankston region residents to be especially wary of “today-only” deals over the spring renovation period.

Minister for Consumer Affairs Heidi Victoria said cheap, shoddy work on houses could cost much more in the long run. She said travelling con men become more active with the arrival of spring, targeting homeowners as they started to look at ways to repair or upgrade their properties.

“They doorknock for work such as painting, roof restoration, driveway work and tree-lopping and put you under pressure to agree to get the work done immediately,” she said “Sometimes they even drive you to bank teller machines to get payment upfront.

“If you suspect a travelling con man is knocking, don’t open your door, but if you do speak to them, ask them to leave. If they refuse, they’re breaking the law.”

Residents are being asked to record as much information as possible about suspected con men, such as the name they use, physical description and vehicle make and rego details.

Sightings of travelling con men will be highlighted on a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/StopTravelling ConMen) as well as Consumer Affairs Victoria’s social media channels. For more details: www.consumer.vic. gov.au/travellingconmen or www. crimestoppers.com.au

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NEW

A legal firm that prides itself in a fresh approach

CO SE N N RV O TR IC AC E TS

BAYSIDE Solicitors is a dynamic law firm based in Frankston. The firm was established in 1998 and has grown significantly, which has allowed a high degree of specialisation within a practice that handles most areas of law.

The original principal solicitors of the firm were Ashley Tickner and Alysia Mein. The firm was created with the intention of practising law in a different way to established law firms in Victoria.

The original business plan has not changed and thousands of people have benefited from the representation that the firm has provided over the years.

One of the significant differences with Bayside Solicitors is that its practitioners, as barristers and solicitors, appear in as many of their court cases as they can.

Many other law firms brief barristers as sub-contractors to run the case when it proceeds to court. The advantage of the Bayside Solicitors way is there is no doubling up of legal personnel involved in the case, and also the solicitor who takes the instructions and draws the documents is generally the one who is arguing the case in court for their client. As a by-product of performing its own advocacy, the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solicitors develop experience.

A further unusual characteristic of the firm is that it continues to charge clients based on court-approved cost scales. In an era when most firms have moved away from scale costing and effectively set their own hourly rates, solicitors at Bayside Solicitors continue to use government-approved cost scales. At times, this is less than half of what other firms with similar experience charge. It is a demonstration of the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficiency and cost-effectiveness that its litigation matters continue to be costed on this basis.

Over the years, Bayside Solicitors has taken on some very difficult cases, some of which have lasted many months and years. The culture of the firm is such that it prides itself on its dedication to clients and its tenacity to take on difficult matters and see them to a successful result. The attitude continues with new staff that are carefully selected to work in the firm. All of this leads to a much stronger legal profession in Frankston, and more widely the Momington Peninsula.

Bringing foot and leg pain to heel

By Kristie Raymond - Foot & Leg Pain Clinic FOOT and leg pain is very common, but if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the right treatment and advice pain and injuries will nearly always re-occur or get progressively worse.

The good news is one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest and most successful podiatry practices dedicated to assisting foot and leg pain and injuries is now just around the corner.

Renowned for successful patient outcomes, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics has opened a new clinic in Rye at 2 Ozone St, to accompany its existing clinic in Mt Eliza.

With a reputation for getting results, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics services are sought from far and wide. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the chosen podiatristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for some of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best athletes and tens of thousands of people just like you.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the key to their success?

Experienced Sports Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh who heads the new clinic says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Correct diagnosis is very important so you must look past the surface symptoms to find the cause of issues. We also make it a priority to always keep up-to-date with the very latest medical research and treatments and take a holistic approach, as one thing can set off a chain reaction in the body. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also very important to address each patients concerns based on their individual lifestyle and requirements, nutritional status and

overall health and injury concerns.

We see so many patients with persisting issues because they have been misdiagnosed, the causes are not addressed specifically and/or inappropriate treatments have been utilized. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unnecessary because with the right treatment and advice most pain and injuries can be addressed quickly and easily.â&#x20AC;?

Below, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics provide some helpful advice regarding pain and injuries: ď Žď&#x20AC; Avoid medications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now proven that cortisone & anti-inflammatory drugs have negative side effects including tissue damage and healing delay. There are effective, natural alternatives ď Žď&#x20AC; Surgery should always be a last resort. Recent advances in medical research and treatments mean surgery can be avoided in many cases thanks to new, natural injection therapies assisting soft tissue regeneration ď Žď&#x20AC; Just because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told there is nothing that can be done for you, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean its true. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve assisted many whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told this ď Žď&#x20AC; Get advice from the most appropriate practitioner. Different practitioners have expertise in different things. An experienced Sports Podiatrist is the best person to assist foot & leg pain, injury and degenerative issues.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Local man charged with fare evasion, Frankston’s macabre discovery Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 November 1913.

AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, before Messrs P. Cohen, P.M, and C. Williams, J.P., a young man, named T. Parrett, was charged with having taken a seat in a train without a ticket.

The stationmaster at Crib Point said that the defendant, when leaving the station on the 10th inst., gave him a weekend ticket which was out of date the day before. The defendant said that he had forgotten that his ticket was out of date, and when called back by the station master he had offered to pay excess. A fine of 15s with 12s 6d costs was imposed. *** CONSTABLE McCallum, of Frankston, received a report that the body of a child about a month old had been found on the beach about a mile from Frankston. He at once had the body conveyed to Frankston, where an examination showed what appeared to be the mark of a cord round the neck. The body appeared to have been in the water some time, and it is thought that the case was one of murder. *** WE learn that a huge bazaar is shortly to be held at Chelsea, in aid of the building fund of a Roman Catholic Church. Mr R. J. Burroughs is the secretary, and this alone should ensure success. Our readers are reminded of the great subdivisional sale of the Tyabb Park Estate, which will be held on Monday next, on the estate, adjoining the Tyabb railway

station. The sale will be conducted by Mr J. L. Parkes, of the firm of T. R. B. Morton and Son. *** A CLEARING sale of the stock, plant, furniture, &c., of the Barragunda Estate, near Cape Schanck, will be held on the estate on Thursday, 13th November, at 11 a.m., by Edward Trenchard and Co. Full particulars are advertised. *** IT is understood that the Federal Government has now definitely decided not to accede to the request of the Federal Fruit Commission, to authorise a delegation to go to London to pursue inquiries as to the marketing and selling of Australian fruit. *** BY advertisement in this issue it is notified that Edward Trenchard and Co. will sell by public auction, on the property near Cowes, Phillip Island, about 620 acres freehold land, also stock, plant, furniture, &c., on Friday, 14th November, under instructions from the executors of the late Mr P. Phelan. *** A BAZAAR and sale of gifts is advertised to take place at Langwarrin on Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons and evenings, 12th and 18th November. The opening ceremony will take place at 3 o’clock on the first named afternoon, by the Hon. A. Downward. The funds are to go towards the building of a new church.

The Mornington Schools’ excursion to Royal Park takes place on Wednesday week, 12th November. The special train will leave Mornington at 8.10 a.m., stopping at Moorooduc,

Mornington Junction, Langwarrin, and Frankston, arriving at Royal Park at 10.33 a.m., and will leave for the return journey at 6.15 p.m.

The defendant said that he had forgotten that his ticket was out of date, and when called back by the station master, he had offered to pay excess.

*** AN important land sale was held at Bittern on Saturday last, when 235 allotments immediately adjoining the naval base were offered. Only 28 blocks were sold, the reserve ranging from £12 10s to £25, the lots being cut into quarter acres. The sales totalled £531 10s. The bulk of the land was withdrawn from sale. *** ON Friday evening of last week In

company with Mr Jolly, of Frankston, Messrs C. Hunin of Kyabram. G. and E. Phillips, of Tatura, Barton, of Tocumwal (N.S.W.,) and Vawdon, St. Kilda, visited Frankston last week end, and each purchased a building allotment locally. This makes a total of 42 building allotments bought at Frankston and re-sold by Mr Jolly in the North-Eastern and Goulburn Valley districts of Victoria during this year. All the above sales to Mr Jolly were made by Messrs Brody and Mason on account of various local property owners. *** THE summer train service to Frankston and Mordialloc is to be improved with the adoption of the summer time table. *** MR H. C. Barclay, of Mornington Junction, informs us that he has disposed of his pure bred Jersey bull, Young Shenton. *** THE engagement is announced of Mr Alexander Howatson, Glenbuck, Queensland, second son of Mrs and the late Mr. James Howatson, Mount Derrimut, Victoria, and Miss Annie S., only daughter of Mr and Mrs Jas Grice, Moondah, Frankston. *** THE Hastings Church of England bazaar, which is to be held in the church hall on Friday and Saturday, November 7 and 8, promises to be a great success. The energetic secretary and her committee have everything in working order, and an enjoyable time is promised patrons. *** LOVERS of high class music should

not miss the concert which will be given by some of Melbourne’s leading artists, including the famous elocution- ist, Mr Payne, the Austral Quartette, and many others. The entertainment will be held in the Mornington Me- chanics’ Institute, and the proceeds it will go towards the Convent school prizes. The programme is exceptionally long, and a most enjoyable evening is assured. *** AMONG those who contributed to the programme at the complimentary social to Cr Lloyd at Langwarrin on Thursday evening was Mr Sullivan, son of Sergeant-Major Sullivan, so well and favorably known throughout the whole district. Mr Sullivan, who is an elocutionist of no mean order, received a great reception, and his items were listened to with rapt attention, Mr Sullivan is always ready to help in local affairs, and the assistance he gives at the various functions is of great benefit to all concerned. *** AT a meeting of St. McCartan’s Church committee, held at the Presbytery, Mornington, on Monday evening last, it was decided to hold a bazaar in the Mechanics’ Institute on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd January, 1914, for the purpose of reducing the debt on the church. The matter was taken up with great earnestness, and before the close of the meeting the energetic secretary (Mr Wheelan) had received £12 in donations. The various stall holders were also appointed, and there is every indication of the bazaar being a gigantic success.

Me versus ‘The Man’ part two

By Stuart McCullough SAMUEL Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In the unlikely event that I should ever write the story of Waiting for the Technical Staff to Respond to My Support Request, it’s unlikely that I’ll be asked to travel to Stockholm to pick up an award.

Until now, everything had run so smoothly. I had given myself completely to the “Orange” corporation and I had enjoyed the ability to download music, movies and so forth without having to leave my couch. Suddenly, and for the first time, I realised the internet might actually serve some kind of purpose. That is, of course, until it all went so horribly wrong.

Having eventually succeeded in finding a phone number for Orange, I waited on hold for what seemed to be an eternity only to be told that something was wrong. This, of course, was the very reason for my phone call and might neatly be described as “an overwhelming statement of the obvious”. As is so often now the way with global commerce, my phone call was relayed to another country solely for the purpose of something that I had figured out while sitting on the couch. Having flunked the call centre test, it seems my problem was of such gravity that it was forwarded to the awesome and not a little inspiring “Technical support team”.

I didn’t know how the call centre would alert the TST to my problem. I’d like to think they have a special spotlight that they shine into the night sky, at which point they drop whatever it is they’re doing and go directly to the Bat-cave, but this seems unlikely. Let’s be honest, technical support staff don’t conceal their true identities and you don’t need a Bat-signal to get their attention. Most likely the sound of a Slurpee machine being switched on would do the trick. Whatever the technique for summoning them up, within 48 hours I received an email from a member of the elite technical support team.

For the sake of anonymity, I have chosen to refer to my technical support adviser as “Dr Peter Venkman”. To be honest, I could have gone for any member of the original Ghostbusters crew and, at a push, maybe even the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, but there was an air of detached wryness about the emails I received from my support adviser that makes Dr Pete a suitable nom de plume. He began his email with a statement of such profound irony that it can only be applauded – “Welcome to Customer Support” it began. That this message was by email and delivered to my inbox at three o’clock in the morning means that traditional notions of customer support have been wholly abandoned. The days of someone turning up to your house are over.

Emails in the dead of night are the new normal when it comes to servicing your customers.

PAGE 50

Mornington News 29 October 2013

Dr Venkman then got right to the heart of the problem: “I understand that you purchased video Confessions and after delivery you received a message saying that there is a payment problem, even though you have sufficient funds in that debit card.” Let me say right now that Confessions is, in fact, an episode from the last series of Breaking Bad and not something that should be preceded by the words: “Danielle Steele presents.” The email then continued with the grammatically mystifying statement, “I sense how eager concerned you are…”. You’re darn tootin’ right. I am eager concerned beside myself.

The email went on to say, “Please contact the fraud or security department of your financial institution to find out why your card is being rejected”. This was something I’d already done several days earlier; a fact I made clear when I filled out the support request form on which Dr Venkman had based the rest of the email. The bank had told me there was no problem at its end and that the issue most likely rested between Orange and its bank. Under those circumstances, Dr Pete’s response was of no use at all and was more in the nature of an instruction as to one of the countless techniques that exist for sucking eggs. But rather than keep these thoughts to myself, I decided to write back.

“Dear Dr Venkman. Thanks for your email.

From this point on, though, perhaps we can refer to the purchase as Breaking Bad rather than Confessions, which, frankly, sounds misleadingly pornographic. I have spoken to the bank and it thinks the problem is at your end. The best thing to do would be to run the transaction again.”

I’m the first to admit that the email was a desperate attempt to appeal to logic. It failed utterly.

The response I received from Dr Venkman was to the effect that I should consider changing banks. As responses go, it was completely useless. When I pointed out that this was oddly back to front, all communication ceased. At first I was mystified, maybe even a little hurt. But that’s just the way it goes with customer service.

It has sometimes been said that particular companies are “too big to fail”. It seems that some may also be too big to respond. Orange is such a hugely, obesely successful company that it seems unable to comprehend any problem that might be of its own making. I later received an email containing the preposterous claim that it would “value” my feedback and asking me to fill in a questionnaire. Having provided it, there has been nothing but eerie silence since. After a time, my account mysteriously started to work again and I managed to see the final episodes of Breaking Bad. They were graphic, harrowing and emotionally exhausting. A lot like customer service. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance SPRINGSTEEN & I (Shock), the music documentary celebrating a rock ‘n’ roll icon, will be released November 1. The film has already enjoyed a highly successful theatrical release, grossing more than $2.5 million from cinemas in 50 countries since July.

Working with the filmmakers, Springsteen fans have helped create a film that reflects their personal experiences as they explore what this timeless artist has meant to their lives, against a backdrop of amazing performance footage.

The documentary features rare material even die-hard fans have not laid eyes on, including previously unreleased footage of Springsteen performing classics such as Dancing in the Dark, Born in the USA, I’m On Fire, Born to Run, The River, Thunder Road and Spirits in the Night.

A bonus feature includes six tracks from Bruce Springsteen’s 2012 Hyde Park performance: Thunder Road, Because the Night, Shackled & Drawn and We Are Alive, Twist and Shout and I Saw Her Standing There accompanied by Paul McCartney sharing vocals. Available Blue Ray & DVD. www.shock.com.au *** AUSTRALIA’S largest music festival, the Tamworth Country Music Festival, will feature one of the biggest line-up’s in the festival’s history next year, with a full program of artists confirmed to perform at venues across the city over 10 days.

Festival organisers are anticipating record crowds for the 2014 event.

Fans can expect to be entertained day and night, with more than 800 performers and 4,000 shows at 120 different venues.

Two of the superstars of Australian country music, Adam Harvey and Troy Cassar-Daley, will officially kick off the festival, headlining the opening concert in Toyota Park on Friday 17 January.

The festival will also feature the Lifeline Concert at the Tamworth

Town Hall on Saturday January 18, commencing at 7.30pm, with artists including Allan Caswell, Paul Costa, Chad Morgan, Lou Bradley, Luke O’Shea and Warren H Williams set to perform among many others, including yours truly who will MC the event.

In 2014, the festival will pay tribute to Australian icon and country

music legend Slim Dusty through a number of special activities. Festival manager Gavin Flanagan said: “We’re expecting 2014 to be bigger and better than ever. The festival will run from Friday 17 January to Sunday 26 January.”

For more information, visit www. tcmf.com.au ***

FORTY years into a long and successful career, Allan Caswell (pictured) is having one of his best years ever. At the 2013 Australian Independent Country Music Awards in Mildura, he picked up the award for album of the year (It’s a Country Song). The title track also won him the awards for male vocal of the year and single of the year.

His early years were spent writing and performing jingles before he wrote On the Inside, the theme to the TV series Prisoner. The song was recorded by Lynne Hamilton and became a top 10 hit. The song was also recorded by Patti Page for the US market.

Caswell found himself on the charts again in 1983 with his song about the 1983 America’s Cup Challenge, called The Australia’s Cup. Caswell will perform at Hickinbotham’s Winery, Dromana, Sunday 15 December.

Details: www.allancaswell.com *** SINGER Pink will release her live DVD filmed in Melbourne on November 22. The Truth About Love: Live from Melbourne was filmed at Rod Laver Arena in July. It will be released two weeks before it appears on the shelves in the USA. Pink played a record-breaking 18 shows at Rod Laver Arena to more than 250,000 fans. *** BLACK Sabbath will release a live album and DVD recorded at their recent concerts in Melbourne.

The reunion tour, which began in Australia, will be featured on the DVD Gathered in Their Masses, out November 26 (Vertigo). The album was recorded April 29 and May 1 in Melbourne, and features three of the original Sabbath members, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony lommi and Geezer Butler. Tommy Clufetos (Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent) toured on drums. *** IN 1994, The Beatles’ Live at the BBC was released to worldwide acclaim - hitting number one in the UK and number three in the US, and selling

two weeks ago. Had I been Louie (the fly) on a wall, I could have amassed enough material for 50 columns. Still, like all conferences, the real action begins at night, so I’m told. *** WE played many games as kids other than cricket and football in the street.

No iPhones, no cars, no television.

Relievo, a night game where two participants were elected, one to mind base, the other to locate the others, who disappear; count to 10 while they all scoot and hide. A pat on the back and you’re caught. Go to base, jail. If somebody sneaked back to base, put their foot in before being patted on the back and shouted “relievo!” those in base were free.

Took half the night generally, especially if I was one of the suckers looking or guarding the base. Hidey, another form of relievo; again I could never find anyone. Doctors & nurses, if the older kids had their say and no parents were about. I enjoyed being the patient, particularly if the doctor was a female. My first testosterone hit?

Damn, I forgot to tell the psychologist *** I HAVE often written about my input to the defence of our country by way of my five slogging months as a Nasho in the Navy in 1955, mainly from a satirical point of view, assuming

readers can understand my warped satire (I’m regularly advised they have no idea). So as a codicil, I should explain that I really appreciated those five months, as a basis for the many advantages to follow. It took time, about another 20 years, but eventually it made a man of me - most of the time anyway. Mateship may sound corny, but it was real and a lasting fond memory; a learning experience, in spite of class distinctions and gestapo officers. *** IF you don’t smoke, gamble, drink alcohol or watch porn movies, you indulge yourself as an upstanding person, correct? I worked part time as a supervisor for the TAB and other totalisator companies for 37 years at race tracks all over Victoria, met thousands of gamblers, gaining some insight into the gamblers’ psyche. A small percentage lose more than they can afford and in trying to recoup their losses, only succeed in worsening their situation, in rare cases destroying a marriage, or themselves. Some smoke 50 cigarettes a day, destroy their lungs; some drink too much liquor, destroy their livers; and some are sex maniacs with no apparent after effects.

But on this subject of gambling, they (the upstanding) go way overboard.

For every sad gambler, there’s another

100 who bet within their means as entertainment, be it on horses, football, bingo or the lotteries. Men and women, young and old, pensioners, the rich and workers alike. Some spend $250 to see Bruce Springsteen, others $20 a week for the pleasure of it all and an occasional win. It’s not evil.

Hey, come the Spring Carnival and gambling is OK, fun, sport? *** I’M intrigued by former Xavier College boy Bill Shorten’s support as the new Labor leader. Says Billy boy: “We are on track to have more women lined up in positions of influence and importance.” What does he mean, and why? I didn’t blame him for backing Rudd recently, but clearly he was right up there with Julia in stabbing Rudd initially and as a party to cutting single mothers pensions.

They play these ridiculous games: right and left factions, caucus power, or more importantly, who cares? Bill is right, Tanya is left, and everything is waxed. They say he’s done some good work for his union members and the National Disability Insurance Scheme but for us, he sprung up like topsy and unless it’s my memory, he’s done little else apart from looking nice and playing the popularity card.

A Grain of Salt I WORRY about psychologists. Years ago as a teenager (was I ever one?)

I fancied studying it at university; bought a book titled Psychology and Mental Health, read it a few times, but the thought of another year (year 12) to qualify to do an arts degree put me off in favour of love and adventure.

Bad decision; could have been rich.

A study of individuals’ minds in order to understand behavioural patterns, as distinct from psychiatry, which is fundamentally concerned with mental disorder, requiring a medical degree. Something like that.

What intrigues old codgers like me are the competing levels of explanation when it comes to understanding behaviour.

I went to one years ago. Had a bad habit and he fixed me up, temporarily?

Another was catching frogs, take them up on the Merri Creek bridge, tickle their bums until they jumped off; no frog damage done. Stopped my psychopathic tendencies.

Psychologists have far too much influence over our daily lives. Well, more infiltration than influence, I suppose. New research weekly based on some vague premise, behavioural nonsense much of it. No doubt, there are some good ones, but I’m yet to meet one.

They had a big convention in Cairns

By Cliff Ellen Limited. As for Bill’s “vision”, like Collingwood, I remain hopeful. His election over Anthony Albanese was touted as democratic. Strange democracy. A convoluted congregation deciding what looks right. Bill wants Labor to be “brave” in speaking up for the marginalised and struggling.

Good. We watch and wait. *** FORMER plain packaging health minister, attorney-general and longtime professional do-gooder Nicola Roxon calls Kevvy a “bastard”. Such a darling lady is sweet Nicola. Cigarette dear?... Apparently the “silent majority” is behind Derryn Hinch; kindly do not include me... Elvis and Johnny Cash copy bands are far from the original. Ditto Bill Shorten and Bob Hawke... Andrew Demetriou offered a place on the board of Crown Casino. Says Andy: “ I would like to be a contributor.” What? He’s doing it gratis?.. When I was a boy, I was told that anybody could become president. I’m beginning to believe it.

Creating memories at Manyung ACCOMPLISHED painter Wendy Grace is the current featured artist at Manyung at Sorrento Gallery.

Her soft-edged shimmers of colour and shape evoke imaginary vistas of varying hues – sometimes reminiscent of an opaque view of an underwater garden or perhaps staring at foliage through a raindrop-daubed window.

The exhibition is entitled Memory Traces and also features the bold, colourful and often-whimsical works of Monica Adams who has enjoyed travel, absorbing influences from regions including a bohemian sojourn in Paris.

The exhibition is on until 14 November at Manyung at Sorrento, 113A Ocean Beach Rd. Details: 9787 2953 or manyunggallery. com.au

On show: Above, Papillion by Wendy Grace. Below, Floral Dress by Monica Adams.

Holy cow, Ian is a stayer

By Haydn Godony A STALWART performer, musical journeyman and respected singer-songwriter, Ian Treloar has performed on peninsula stages for more than a couple of decades. A recent online survey, of ‘vintage’ peninsula musicians, saw him mentioned as the peninsula’s best muso.

A veteran performer at Morninton’s Main Street Festival, this year he mentored his guitar students from Red Hill Consolidated School, who performed in a couple of bands, The Black Pearls and The Drake Equation, at the fest.

In the early 80s, as rhythm guitar player for hallowed ska outfit The Nicest People, he saw-in New Years Eve onstage at the inaugural rock concert at Dromana Drive In theatre. Bands that followed included the ‘wild and warped’ covers outfit Play It Again Sham, slick coversband Survival and the funky reggae combo Hot Bananaz.

Since around 2002 with his originals-band Holycow and folky covers duo Mojo Pearls, where he shares musical credits with festival art director Ree Liddell, have gathered a fine following wherever they play. Which has been in mostly every corner of Australia.

“In the early 80s, promoters and music people ‘in the know’ had two bands pencilled-in as likely to be big. One was Men at Work and the other was Nicest People,” said Ian from his Flinders home. “Fate ran its course and they ‘made it’ and we didn’t, that’s just the way it goes.”

“Holycow is pretty much my baby that I’ve pushed and pulled for the last decade. The players have come and gone but the band has held together. At first I planned to follow a similar path to Tea Party, with a raga-rock thing, but it evolved into a more funky, roots and acoustic sound,” he said.

“Six years ago Ree joined the band and brought a wonderful personality with a fresh, feminine aspect. The focus became less rock n roll and more about the lyrics and the melody.

The ‘floating’ lineup also includes Aaron Roberts on keyboards, Joel Plymin on sax and various drummers. For a number of years, before he passed away in June last year, our dear mate Chris Haylock was on drums. Losing Chris was probably the biggest setback I have encountered in my life, losing such a beautiful friend,” Ian said.

The quest to be a pop star ended years ago.

“Now I play to a niche market, for people who like groove and roots. Festivals have become a bit more of a focus. We sell records to so many different people, from teens to 70-year-olds.”

Last year, Ian’s fourth album Don’t Get the Picture was proudly released and has sold well.

“The hard part is putting the energy into promoting it yourself. A lot of artists suffer that. We get the great artwork and the video done and print the cover in re-cycled paper and then collapse in a heap with the promotion. You have to be as passionate about marketing as you are about strumming guitars and writing songs.”

Holycow perform regularly at Heritage in Balnarring.

Gapes hit 102 and Clements made an unbeaten 129 as the Doggies amassed 4/273 against the Mounties.

Clements has smashed 242 runs in three matches this season at an average of 80, while Gapes hit two half-centuries in the opening two matches of the season and has more than 200 runs for the season.

It was a tough day for Mt Eliza bowlers. Tom

Baron was the pick of the attack, bowling 37 overs for a return of 2/96.

Evergreen Langwarrin left-hander and former Wedgewood medallist Danny Weare saved his side from an embarrassing afternoon against Rye. Weare came to the crease with the score at 3/59 and watched on as Andy Johnson and Jarryd Amalfi were dismissed for ducks. The Kangas were reeling at 5/64.

However, Weare, together with teenager Michael Edwards, took the score to 193 before he was dismissed for 102. Edwards went on to make 95, David Ross hit 49 and the tail wagged to lift the Kangas to 307.

Darren Groves bowled just 13 overs but

finished with the tidy figures of 4/27.

Simon McEvoy smashed 156 in the Second XI (his second ton this season) and former Seaford opening bowler Andy McMannis made his debut for the Kangas and snared 6/15.

Baxter is looking at an easy victory against Moorooduc.

The visitors got going with the bat, Dale Irving top-scoring with 80, Shane McComb getting 55 and Marc Uccello 33. They were bowled out for 287 in the 67th over.

The Ducs had to face the last 13 overs of the day and things didn’t go according to plan when the team lost 3/29. Adrian Mack claimed all three wickets in six overs, conceding just four runs.

The match between Heatherhill and Mt Martha looks evenly poised, the Hills batting first and making 175. Kristian Miller was the class player with the bat, top-scoring with 75.

Tim Bateman and Brett Wilkinson each claimed four wickets for the Reds.

Sorrento’s Nick Jewell top-scored in his side’s 9/253 against Peninsula Old Boys in the grand final rematch. Leigh Poholke scored 36. Neil Franks was the best of the Old Boys’ bowlers with 5/70, while Dylan O’Malley picked up 3/65.

In the final match of the round, Crib Point has set Long Island 206 for victory.

Eagles continue to fly high as opener makes 101 DISTRICT

By IT Gully SOMERVILLE continues to enjoy a wonderful start to the District cricket season, scoring 6/276 against Ballam Park on Saturday.

Nicholas Marshall opened the batting for the Eagles and was still there at the end of the innings, making an unbeaten 101.

Justin Allsop also continued his impressive start to the season with 72 while Keith Burdett (23), Ben Delaney (34) and Andrew West (29) got starts.

The Knights shared the wickets around, six different bowlers claiming a scalp.

Pines appears to be in a spot of bother against Baden Powell.

The Piners won the toss and batted first, but lasted just 69 overs and were bowled out for 153.

Ricky Ramsdale top-scored with just 24, while Jeremy Weare was next best with 22.

Brendan Jovic was the best of the Baden Powell bowlers with 3/37, Nathan Rice claimed 2/33 and Mac Watson 2/14.

Shaun Foster was simply superb for Carrum against Seaford Tigers, but fell 14 runs short of another century.

Foster hit 86 of his side’s 8/186, while Jeremy Graves helped himself to 34.

Jordan Watters was the best of the Seaford Tigers bowlers, picking up 2/14, while Gavin Gardiner-Smith, Tom Burgdorf and Ash Mills claimed two wickets each.

Boneo has not enjoyed a good start to the season and things got worse against Delacombe Park on Saturday.

Boneo batted first and was all out for just 115. Varun Singh continued his impressive start to the season with 3/38 off 18 overs for the Parkers, while Chris Brittain and Simon Dignan took two wickets each.

In reply, the Parkers are cruising at 1/52, Jon Guthrie not out on 25. Andrew Christides is the man back in the sheds after making 16.

Hastings has placed itself in a reasonable position against Seaford.

The Blues batted first on their home deck and made 188, thanks largely to a half-century by First XI debutant Matt Foy. After scoring two half-centuries and two 40s in the Second XI and juniors this season, Foy earned his call-up and didn’t look at all out of place in the top grade.

Tim Birch opened the batting and scored 31, while Ben King was among the runs again with 25.

Damian Lawrence played a lone hand with the ball for Seaford, bowling 26.4 overs for a return of eight maidens and 7/52. Ryan McQueen picked up 2/32.

In the final match between Main Ridge and Flinders, the teams will play a one-day game this weekend after bad conditions prevented play at the Ridge.

Subbies cricket a worry as bats crash SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association Sub-district cricket is becoming the laughing stock of the competition after another day of embarrassing performances with the bat.

In all of the four matches that got going on Saturday, all eight teams have had a bat.

The highest score for the day was 141, compiled by Tyabb against Rosebud.

Balnarring was bowled out by Dromana for less than 100, Red Hill scrambled to just over 100 against Tootgarook, and Pearcedale limped to 96 against Frankston YCW.

Mark Whitehead took 6/45 for Dromana against the Hoppers while Dave Timmer snared 4/33.

Brenton Taylor was the only Balnarring batsman to offer any resistance with 41.

Glenn Collett made 34 of Red Hill’s 110 while Zac Stephenson picked up 6/44 for the Tooters.

Gollett then took 3/10 and Simon Dart 2/16 for the Hillmen.

Scott Didcock scored 65 of Tyabb’s 141. Brian Doughty and Jason Nagel each collected three wickets. Greg McCann scored 31 for the Buds in reply.

Kaine Smith was the top-scorer for Pearcedale against the Stonecats, helping himself to 33.

Now, with those pathetic totals, you would assume the opposition was in the box seat to win the match.

Not so!

Dromana slumped to 7/64 against Balnarring (98) and Tootgarook is reeling at 5/26 against the Hillmen (110).

The only side to capitalise on a good bowling performance was Rosebud against the Yabbies, resuming this week at 1/69.

Frankston YCW has also started reasonably well against the Panthers, resuming at 1/19.

The match between Skye and Carrum Downs was rain affected and they’ll play a one-dayer this weekend.

Blues land big fish HASTINGS has landed the biggest recruit of the pre-season so far after announcing that Cranbourne star Justin Berry had signed.

The Blues announced the big signing late last week and word has it there will be a few more to come for the Blues.

Berry (pictured) is a star midfielder and forward and has been a key member of the powerful Cranbourne side in the past handful of seasons. Berry also spent time on Carlton’s list and was a key member of the Frankston Dolphins for some time.

Berry joins Stephen Charalambous, who has also signed with the Blues, crossing from Karingal.

Berry is expected to play predominantly as a forward, while “Charra” will play through the middle. New coach Brendan Dunne will hold down a key defensive post.

The Blues need to replace the likes of Daniel Wishart, Glenn Michie, Tony Mirrabella, Dylan Hand and Andy Kiely, who have all left the club.

Hillmen add another

Eagles land another

WE announced a number of weeks ago that Red Hill was close to signing a VFL player.

Well, now former Port Melbourne premiership player Michael Dillon has signed with the club.

The tough midfielder is a huge coup for the Hillmen, who have also added two-time YCW premiership player Paul Wintle to the list in the past week. He joins other recruits Jarrod Eames, Nick Bateman and Blake McCormack.

Coach Tony Blackford said a key forwardruckman to support young gun Jarryd Douglas was “probably the final piece in the puzzle” for his new club.

Blackford said he had spoken to “almost 60 possible recruits” since being appointed.

SOMERVILLE has added Karingal defender Kane McKenzie to its list, joining former teammates Cal Dixon and new Eagles coach David Hirst.

The Eagles have also spoken with Bulls running defender Sam McGarry.

NEW Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico has been busy working the phones since he landed the job.

The two-time premiership coach is hopeful of adding a number of players to his list to “complement” the exciting young list at his disposal.

“We are targeting locals who have moved on to rejoin the club, while looking at players who we believe can fill roles for us,” Artico said.

If he lands some of the names he has met, the Kangas will be a force next season.

Luke Damon and Shane Urbans are the only two players not to have recommitted to the Kangas for 2014.

Shane Patterson returns from Queensland while Jayden Grose will be back for the preseason. Two class midfielders.

Yabbies working hard WE received an email from Tyabb president Terry McGrath last week claiming his club had recruited a few players.

However, when pressed on providing names, the Yabbies chief was silent.

Mornington News 29 October 2013

Town with the thoroughbred pedigree TO many, Mornington is known as the gateway to one of Australia’s pre-eminent art and culture, food and wine, water recreation and golf regions.

What is not so widely recognised is Mornington is also national force in the field of thoroughbreds.

Boasting many boutique stud and agistment farms, the Mornington Peninsula is also home to several hundred racehorses, and a mixture of some of Australia’s most accomplished and emerging trainers.

Here we introduce some of them, and find out why if you have a desire to race a horse, you need look no further than Mornington and its surrounds.

Jason Warren: Star short course specialist Bel Sprinter put Jason Warren on the international map.

Following a devastating win in this year’s Group 1 The Galaxy (Royal Randwick), he went on to run third to Black Caviar in the Group 1 T J Smith Stakes before representing Australia in Singapore where he ran a gallant second to champion Hong Kong sprinter Lucky Nine. With fantastic facilities and a multitude of hastily developing young horses, Warren is striving to achieve continued success and reach new heights.

Pat Carey: Pat and Cheryl Carey and their owners have enjoyed a great deal of success over the years,

particularly at the highest level, including wins in the VRC Oaks, Australian Derby, The BMW, and many other high-profile races, including the Mornington Cup with Attrition. Carey’s skill in educating emerging stayers is renowned Australia-wide, evidenced by Ethiopia’s win in the 2012 Australian Derby. At just his fourth start, Ethiopia became the first maiden to win the Derby in 42 years.

Matt Laurie: A horseman in the truest sense, Laurie’s desire to maximise a horse’s ability, coupled with his understanding of its psychology, supports his widely respected reputation within the

racing industry. His hard work and dedication has already reaped rewards at the highest level; Laurie trained his first Group 1 winner in May when Escado won the South Australian Derby. Se Sauver has been his banner horse this spring, winning a Group 2 at Flemington before competing in the Schweppes Thousand Guineas at Caulfield behind the mighty Guelph.

Mark Riley: Having more than five generations of thoroughbred trainers in his blood, the former jockey has been training for 24 years and is now based at Mornington having relocated from Caulfield 13 years ago. Renowned for his attention to detail and possessing the priceless

experience of riding for famous trainers such as Bart Cummings and Colin Hayes, Riley has a growing list of successes and highlights in his career to date, including training dual Group 1-winning sprinter Mookta.

Tony Noonan: Involved in thoroughbred training most of his adult life, Noonan’s expertise has seen him train almost 800 winners, including 280 in the city, with his runners earning close to $20 million.

Trainer of many winners at the elite level, including globetrotting champion Ortensia, Noonan also has the honour of training the only threetime winner of the Mornington Cup, Gunnamatta (2002-04).

ROAD CLOSURES Due to the high level of traffic expected at the Sportingbet Peninsula Cup, road closures will be in place from 4pm on Sunday 3 November 2013.

Access to Racecourse Road will be restricted at the corner of Mornington-Tyabb Road and Carbine Way. Restrictions are expected to be lifted at 7pm.
