Early result: Supporters gather round to congratulate Mornington MP David Morris and his wife Linda as early counting showed he had retained his seat in state parliament, despite a swing towards Labor which saw the Coalition lose office.

Peninsula’s Liberal loyalty Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Labor Party may have won government in Victoria, but the Mornington Peninsula stayed where it has been for years: solidly behind the Liberal Party.

Saturday’s poll held no election surprises on the peninsula, with all three Liberal candidates being re-elected with safe margins.

David Morris was back for Morn-

ington with 62.39 per cent of the vote; Martin Dixon in Nepean, with 57 per cent; and Neale Burgess, Hastings, 57.67 per cent.

While Labor made inroads in all three seats – Mornington (3.8 per cent swing), Nepean (6.67 per cent) and Hastings (1.93 per cent) – the outcome never seemed in doubt.

Mr Morris said the outgoing Coalition had been “a good government that took the right decisions but people in a few seats did not agree”.

However, results for his seat of

Mornington made it the third safest seat in the state.

He said the election campaign for the Coalition “started from behind and was closing at the end, but not enough”.

“We sold our commitments for the future but not as effectively as we should have done in the timeframe.”

Mr Morris accused Labor of “telling lies for a number of years and we didn’t rebut them”.

He said the lies included claims “that TAFE was destroyed” when the government had ensured that course being

offered elated to real jobs “and were not just lifestyle choices”.

Another lie was a claim that the Coalition had “lost” 68,000 jobs when figures showed an extra 80,000 jobs being available since Labor lost power in 2010.

Mr Morris said the federal government’s inability to get its budget passed “didn’t help”.

“It’s a challenge for any state campaign to get oxygen – to get a clear run – when the federal budget is still going.

It eats into air time and other stories

available to us.”

Mr Morris said he would have been happy to Denis Napthine stay as Liberal leader “in the interim”, adding that he would “see what the field is” before entering the debate over who should lead the party.

“He did a good job under difficult circumstances.”

Now elected to his third term as the MP for Mornington, Mr Morris said it had been “a pretty good career so far.

It’s a privilege to serve.”

Cash for pier forecourt precinct Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORE than $800,000 will be spent to improve traffic flow, car parking, and pedestrian and boat ramp access at Mornington’s pier precinct.

Shire councillors last week approved the spending of $250,000 of ratepayer funds for the Mornington Pier Forecourt Plan.

This will be combined with $365,000 from a state government boating safety and facilities fund with the balance coming from Parks Victoria.

The work will level the area between the pier and the yacht club, and there will be a roundabout at the pier end of Schnapper Point Drive to enable cars and buses to turn more easily. Other items will include bollards, trees and shrubs, information signs and street lighting.

But the long-term problem of traffic congestion and lack of parking at peak summer times will not be solved.

Members of Mornington Harbour Precinct Working Group have been wrestling with competing interests since the group was formed in mid2012 after Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors knocked back Mornington Yacht Club’s proposal for a private marina in the harbour.

The working group includes state government bureaucrats, shire officers, members of Mornington Environment Association and a foreshore advisory group, a charter boat representative, yacht club members and other stakeholders.

Several reports have been prepared for and analysed by the working

Pier pressure: The shire and government authorities will spend $800,000 to improve parking, traffic flow and pedestrian access at the Mornington pier forecourt between the land end of the pier and Mornington Yacht Club but it will not solve the longterm problem of insufficient parking.

Picture: Yanni

group, with one traffic consultant’s report saying the problems cannot be solved unless the shire and state are prepared to spend millions of dollars.

Another consultant submitted a report calling for a new version of the marina but this was axed.

The shire will now continue working on the Mornington Harbour Precinct Plan but its implementation will require a large contribution from the state government.

Shire officers will prepare a further report for council’s consideration to form a Mornington Harbour Precinct Reference Group, as recommended by the working group.

Mornington has outgrown its little harbour precinct but the real problem is lack of room to expand car parking.

The plan approved last week will see a loss of about seven parking spaces.

Suggestions of cutting into unstable cliffs to create more parking have been

rejected by some working group members. The yacht club is resisting a call for its hardstand area to be reduced.

Mornington Environment Association president Jan Oliver said the long-term solution to lack of parking was to create a “park and ride” service similar to the one that operates for Beleura House and Garden in Kalimna Drive. Visitors to the historic property must park at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and are transported

cross town by bus. (Visitors have been parking at Mornington Golf Club during the Archibald Prize exhibition at the gallery.)

“We suggested the shire consider the fire brigade training area in Mornington Park for overflow cars. The area has not been used by the brigade for many years, is sealed and has access via Flinders Drive,” she said.

The forecourt work is expected to be done between mid-April and July 2015.

Hummingbird wins Best Bites accolade HUMMINGBIRD Eco Retreat, Red Hill, has been named Restaurant of the Year in this year’s Mornington Peninsula Shire-run Best Bites Awards.

The restaurant won for its “excellence in nutrition and healthy eating, tobacco and liquor compliance, waste and recycling, energy and water efficiency�.

Congratulations: Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Bev Colomb with Justin Derrick, of Milkbar & Co, Mt Martha, named Cafe of the Year in the shire’s Best Bites awards.

Mt Martha’s Milkbar & Co won the Cafe of the Year.

Other category award winners were Bed & Breakfast – Harmony Bed & Breakfast, Fingal; Child Care/School Canteen - Balnarring Early Learning Centre; Supermarket - Ritchies IGA, Mt Eliza; Take Away - Yo My Goodness, Mornington; and, Innovation - Portsea Hotel, Portsea and La Casa Nostra Deli Rosebud.

An independent panel assessed finalists in each of these categories to determine the award winners.

The Best Bites program recognises the most outstanding local food businesses in the areas of food safety, healthy eating, sustainability and access for all.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr

Bev Colomb presented the awards at a community council meeting in Mt Eliza on 24 November. She said all the winners and nominees deserved their recognition. “The Best Bites winners set great examples within our local food industry by ensuring that our community has access to safe and healthy food options from businesses that use environmentally sustainable food practices, in premises that are safe and accessible,� she said.

The 2014 Best Bites Food Guide which lists local food businesses that have received Best Bites certification - was launched at the meeting and is available free from customer service centres and local food businesses and online at mornpen.vic.gov.au

Shifting the focus to men’s health AGAINST the backdrop of White Ribbon Day last week a men’s health symposium in Mt Eliza sought to discuss the quality of men’s lives in times of change.

Called Men, All Men Matter, the seminar at Mt Eliza School of Business heard from a range of guest speakers well placed to discuss men’s health. They included clinical psychologist and sex therapist Bettina Arndt, surgeon Charlie Last, urology professor Dr Rodney Syme, and former VFL footballer and founder of the Life Again Foundation, Gareth Andrews. The chairman was Rob Koch, of Better Men Australia.

Convenor Tony Nicholl said topics covered were ‘Why does sex matter so much to men?’, ‘Have you done your best work yet?’,

‘Work, life balance’ and ‘Working through a man’s later lifetime’.

On men’s quality of life – and the themes discussed at the symposium - he said: “How good would it be if we eliminated the Us-versus-Them continuum and men and women worked together with emotional security to enhance their lives? “Hopelessness, despair and depression pervades, especially, older men’s lives. Activity is the antidote, but how can reclusive men enhance their lives in this way? Do they want to?�

Mr Nichol said men suicided at the rate of six a day: “Yet, if six whales washed up on the beach there would be enormous outcry.

Our quest should be to make these men feel

like today’s men, as suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.�

He described domestic violence as an “awful conundrum in all its eight forms -yet all men must not be held culpable for the dysfunctional minority or those under duress. “It is imperative that we address the psychological needs of men and boys to improve the wellbeing of all people.�

Mr Nichol said prostate cancer – which mostly affects males – had the highest incidence and mortality but was the least funded, even though treatment modes have improved. “In Victoria the government has no male health policy unlike federal policy and those in other states.â€? ď Ž See ‘Suicide concern’, Letters, page 10.

Freeway fatality could lead to bravery awards MOVES are afoot to “suitably recognise� the bravery of passers-by who attempted to rescue passengers trapped in two cars after a horrific smash on the Mornington Peninsula freeway.

Charges have been laid against a 48-year-old Tooradin man over the incident around 1pm on Monday 17 November.

Major Collision Investigation police assisted local police on the night and were reportedly “devastated at the carnage�.

While the actions of the driver on the night are now subject to a court hearing, grateful police recognise the many people that stopped to assist.

Sergeant Barry Judge said police first on the scene faced a “confronting and terrifying scene� with one car on fire and two people trapped. “Assisted by an off-duty CFA volunteer and

members of the public, dire attempts were made to put the blaze out,� he said.

"Both the police and these members of the public showed incredible courage in approaching the area and doing everything possible to help the trapped people. They risked their own lives for that of strangers - and this is a rare and incredibly humane effort."

Police encourage anyone affected by the collision to seek professional counselling. They are also appealing to witnesses who may have seen either the blue Ford sedan or the black Holden ute in the period leading up to the collision.

Witnesses are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Rich renovations

Passenger dies

THE Portsea and Sorrento area is tops for home renovation spending in Victoria.

A report by two research companies for Westpac Bank has the area at number two in Australia behind Sydney’s suburb of Mosman, where homeowners spent $76 million.

Property owners in the two high property price towns at the end of the Mornington Peninsula spent $41.7 million. Third place went to Albert Park in inner Melbourne on $41.3 million.

Victoria had seven places in the top 10 including Brighton, Richmond, Toorak, Hawthorn, and Malvern–Glen Iris.

About $600 million worth of residential renovations and conversions was approved in the past 12 months, a four-year, post-GFC high.

More than a third of homeowners decided to renovate instead of move to avoid stamp duty.

A WOMAN has died in hospital following a crash at Tuerong Saturday afternoon.

Police said a Mazda and Ford collided at the intersection of Coolart and Hunts roads about 3pm.

The 25-year-old female passenger of the Mazda was taken to The Alfred hospital where she later died from her injuries.

The Mazda driver, a 27-year-old Carlton man, sustained minor injuries.

The driver of the Ford, a 30-year-old Balnarring man, also sustained minor injuries.

Rosebud highway patrol has appealed for witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au The state’s road toll stands at 232, 20 more than in 2013.

An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

Taking a break: Brooke Palmer and Sara Anderson have a coffee with their children Henry and Lucy. In the background are Val and Will Palmer with Sean Mapleback and Tim White and John Rice on the couch. Picture: Yanni

This coffee’s a social service MT MARTHA’S newest coffee shop is not aiming to make a profit.

Its owners say the coffee is good and they’ll be selling “something nice to eat”, their reason for operating is “all about people”.

The Salvos are opening a “pop in” style cafe this month 9am–3pm Fridays at the front of their church building at 750 Nepean Highway.

“The main purpose is to give people

a place to meet others, where we hope community will grow in a safe and welcoming space,” Salvo officer Lieutenant Sean Mapleback said.

“We come across many in our community who are simply lonely and this will be a chance to come and enjoy cafe-standard coffee and a chat without worrying about sitting too long at a table.”

The Sanctuary Cafe will offer cof-

fee and cake at “an inexpensive price” and its opening hours will be extended to include Mondays in the new year.

“We’re not aiming to be the most popular and it’s not a money-making venture,” Lieutenant Mapleback said. “It’s about creating a space for everyone, a space for interaction and conversation, and creating a sense of community and belonging.”

Mornington News 2 December 2014

Finance man the new CEO Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have dipped into the world of business finance rather than local government to find the shire’s new CEO. The appointment of Carl Cowie, who was born and educated in Scotland, was announced at a special council meeting last Wednesday. He started work on Monday.

The shire was unable to provide Mr Cowie’s age or other basic information but The News believes he is in his late 40s. Previous employment history was taken from his LinkedIn listing.

Mr Cowie replaces Dr Michael Kennedy, who unexpectedly left the shire mid-November after almost 16 years after being told by councillors he had not made the short list of candidates when his job was advertised for the first time since his appointment in 1999. Dr Kennedy’s $350,000 a year contract was paid out. It was due to expire in February next year.

Mr Cowie is the third CEO of the super shire created by forced amalgamation almost 20 years ago.

He follows Warwick Dilley (1995-99) and Dr Kennedy (1999-2014).

Mayor Cr Bev Colomb said councillors were “looking forward to introducing Carl to the Mornington Peninsula community. He will bring a fresh perspective to the leadership role�. “We are excited about the opportunity to look at everything with new eyes, and explore new ideas and processes.�

Cr Colomb said Mr Cowie “is an internationally experienced senior executive leader, who has used his finance background to lead significant business turnarounds�. “With experience in healthcare, facilities management, transport, manufacturing and construction project management his focus has been on building a stronger business or organisation, maximising performance and customer satisfaction,� she said.

“Through strong personal management, his philosophy is one of a ‘hands-on’ approach to building high performance teams and executing a clear business strategy.�

The mayor said Mr Cowie holds qualifications in economics, finance, an MBA from Monash Mt Eliza Business School, and studied at Harvard’s School of Public Health in Boston.

Mr Cowie said he was looking forward to working with everyone to make a positive contribution to the success of the shire.

His most recent job was director of Admin Solutions in Melbourne (16 months), providing strategic, contract negotiation and tender advice to public, private and not-for-profit organisations.

Before this he was general manager of business and industry-managed services with Spotless Group (21 months).

Between December 2007 and May 2011 (3 years 6 months) he held various roles with National Patient Transport Group including chief financial officer, CEO and company secretary.

Prior to this Mr Cowie was interim chief financial officer of Solar Systems (6 months), preparing the company for a major equity investor.

He was finance director of Grove Group between 2005 and 2007 (2 years 1 month); chief operating officer of a private hospital in Doha, Qatar, for one year; and general manager of Caulfield Hospital for more than three years between October 2000 and January 2004.

Mr Cowie completed an honours degree in business studies at Robert Gordon’s Institute of Technology in Aberdeen, Scotland, between 1985 and 1989.

He is a qualified accountant and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

The new CEO is married to Terri and they have three sons and live in Wheelers Hill near Glen Waverley.

TWO inexperienced kayakers nearly didn’t make it back alive last Thursday night after going for a paddle off Mills beach, Mornington.

One of the paddlers fell from the craft and his partner did not have the strength to lift him back in. A strong south-westerly wind was blowing them further out to sea.

Luckily, the men can were spotted by a Mornington Life Saving Club women’s boat crew out on a routine training session.

Sweep Andrew Kelly saw the men, aged about 22, about 500 metres offshore and guided the surf boat to their rescue.

Crewmember Susanne Archbold said the boat crew had planned to be out on the water an hour earlier and may have been back at the clubhouse when their help was needed.

“You don’t realise how windy it can be out there when you are on the beach,” she said. “The men said one minute they had been on the beach and the next they were surprised at how far out in the water they were.”

The lifesavers “took a couple of attempts” to haul the man aboard after he had been in the cold water “for quite a while”.

Ms Archbold said her mother’s instinct kicked in when he prevaricated: “I said, ‘Hold my hand now.’ and we pulled him in.

The kayak was tied astern and the crew rowed the men – both Indian students living in the CBD - back to shore.

Ms Archbold said one had been kayaking once before, while the other had never been out on the water. Both were non-swimmers.

“They had lifejackets on but the one in the water was too startled by the whole episode to get back on board; he was a bit grey,” she said.

“They remained calm the whole time; they were not panicking, although the one in the water told me later that he had been ready to give up - to just let go and drift away.”

That’s not something you say to a life saver who has just rescued you: “I made him promise to start swimming lessons this week,” she said.

The kayak was returned to Mornington Boat Hire and the men wrapped in space blankets until they were deemed capable of driving home.

Kayak hirer Paul Pingiaro said the men “didn’t listen to what we told them” when hiring the kayaks. “We said to stay where we could see them and not go beyond the boat harbour or the end of the pier, but they went where they wanted and got into trouble.”

Proud of their role in the men’s rescue, Ms Archbold said the lifesavers were content to do what they were trained to do. “And how rewarding is that?”

Anglers caught up in animal ethics row Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CATCHING a large stingray off Portsea pier last week was probably a legal – but not socially responsible act, fishing writer Paul Pingiaro said last week.

Smooth back rays are not protected as long as the angler plans to eat his catch - and not just leave it to die on the beach, according to Fisheries Victoria.

In the incident, a group of Asian men had caught the stingray – known as Old George by locals - and dragged it down to the beach before being coerced into releasing it by a passerby. It reportedly then swam back under the pier and, hopefully, survived. (‘Anger over resident stingray catch’, The News, 25/11/2014).

Pingiaro, whose column regularly appears in The News and who runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point and Yaringa Boat Hire at Somerville, said publicity surrounding the catch could be used on social media to denigrate recreational angling.

“I am concerned that fishing is becoming a political pastime,” he said.

“Different people – such as PETA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals] - could use it to push their own political agenda.

“It’s all about the perception of fishing.”

Pingiaro said “a lot of people with a lot of pull” monitored and trolled through social media and he occasionally saw reposted images – such as the stingray – that could be used to further their aims.

Fish trap: Paul Pigiaro warns that anglers could “tarnish their sport” by catching too many fish.

“The world is getting too savvy,” he said. “Fishermen are their own harshest critics, but they should know that they need to be more aware. That stingray catch could tarnish the sport.”

Asked if recreational anglers sometimes let their egos get in the way of responsible fishing, Pingiaro said the “green eyed monster could rear its head” when anglers are out to catch their personal best. “It’s a lot like golf,

or anything that can be measured by size and weight,” he said. “It can be brutal out there; very emotive.”

Pingiaro said the need for commercial netting bans in the bay had not been scientifically established. “We’ve had the Hutchins’ family [forebears of Neville and Dalton] netting off Fisherman’s Beach [Mornington] since the early 1900s and, if anyone should have the right to fish here, it is them.

“The government can’t just turn around and say ‘You are banned’.

They can’t just use minimal evidence and ban it because everything that is sustainable should be ok; they can’t just lock people out, such as the netters.

“If you could use that logic, then, if and when the Greens get into government, they could use that as a precedent to ban recreational angling.”

He said all user groups should be considered equally and only scientific – not emotional - evidence used to manage them.

Pingiaro said “most people on the Mornington Peninsula are privy to using a rod and line – it’s part of our lifestyle”. But he said he didn’t like seeing “huge culls” of fish.

“Do we have to catch our bag limit?” he asked.

“This is quite an emotive issue; people see red on both sides. It is not for one body to yell and scream but for the fisheries and the government to scientifically study the science and plan to manage the bay’s sustainability.”

PETA spokesman Claire Fryer said fishing “is far from a healthy and harmless pastime”.

“No one would consider doing to other animals what some so casually do to sea animals - trick them into impaling themselves in the mouth and pulling them into an environment where they can’t breathe.

“Fish, like this stingray – even when released after being caught - can suffer from damage to their delicate fins and mouths making it impossible to eat.

“Other problems include losing their protective scale coating, making them

vulnerable to disease, with a dangerous build-up of lactic acid in their muscles and oxygen depletion.

“Researchers at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation found that as many as 43 per cent of fish released after being caught died within six days. But, whether they are bass or basset hounds, catfish or cats, all animals treasure their lives and feel pain.”

She said a British government animal welfare advisor, Dr Donald Broom, had proved that fish feel pain like all animals.

“The scientific literature is quite clear,” he reportedly said. “Anatomically, physiologically and biologically, the pain system in fish is virtually the same as in birds and mammals.”

Ms Fryer quoted Dr Austin Williams, a US national marine fisheries service zoologist, as saying fish “are sentient organisms, so of course they feel pain”.

“Angling doesn’t just hurt fish, either. Every year, anglers leave behind a trail of victims that includes millions of birds, turtles, and other animals who suffer debilitating injuries after swallowing fish hooks or becoming entangled in fishing line. Wildlife rehabilitators say that discarded fishing tackle is one of the greatest threats to aquatic animals.

“We cannot dismiss the rights and feelings of fish simply because we perceive them to be less intelligent than other animals. Superior intelligence does not entitle one human being to abuse another, so why should it entitle humans to abuse other animals?”

LETTERS Concessions end Denise Hassett's letter (‘Concession alert’, Letters, The News 25/11/14) prompted me to peruse the Australian Parliament website.

Your pensioner readers will find the following section of an Australian Parliament article to be of interest: “Terminating funding for concessions: The Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) entitles holders to a range of benefits including cheaper medicines under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme as well as a wide range of discounts and services provided by state, territory and local governments. Most important among the concessions provided by state and territory governments are discounts on rates, utility bills, motor vehicle registration charges and public transport fares. For example, in New South Wales, PCC holders can receive a $225 rebate on their yearly electricity bills and are exempt from fees for licences, registration and the motor vehicle tax.

Under the National Partnership Agreement on certain concessions for pensioner concession card and Seniors Card holders, the Commonwealth provides financial assistance to the states and territories for the provision of these concessions to PCC holders. The most recent agreement commenced in January 2013 and is set to expire on 30 June 2016. The Commonwealth intends to terminate this agreement from 1 July 2014, and will no longer provide financial assistance to the states and territories for the provision of concessions, providing savings of $1.3 billion over four years.

The states and territories are yet to issue a response to this measure but it is likely that, without this financial assistance, many concessions currently available will be withdrawn or reduced. Any changes will raise the cost of living for pensioners and retirees, particularly in terms of energy bills and transport costs.”

Barry Hocking, Mt Martha

Preferences I find it interesting that [Nepean MP] Martin

Dixon, who claims to be so concerned about the environment, public space and the green wedge, has listed the Greens last on his [voting] preference list.

So you gotta wonder what he is all about: certainly not committed enough to list the party most likely to uphold his self-proclaimed values second on his preferences. The Greens, of course, trump all parties in these endeavours.

You would think he would list second the candidate most likely to support his self-proclaimed objectives. But no, it is not about supporting the candidate who could do the best job for the constituency; it is all about getting elected and, if he doesn’t, then why care who does?

Joe lenzo, Safety Beach

Suicide concern I would like your readers to reconsider some perspectives from the male viewpoint as we tire of the continuous accounts of “male bashing” (misandry) that is so constantly in the media.

There are two viewpoints that must be considered with these matters to achieve equity.

It is positively shocking that one woman dies by domestic violence each week, but it is also shocking that six men a day die by suicide.

Fallacious restraining orders are one of the causes of (younger) male suicide even though the police and magistrates do an honest job in ascertaining the validity of such orders.

It is said that a significant percentage of domestic violence is not reported, invalidating the statistics so often quoted. There are eight types of domestic violence (Australian government review 2012). I contend that men rarely report domestic violence – ask any police person.

Hopelessness and despair is very common among yesterday’s men over 65 and so also is suicide. Our quest could well be to make men feel like today’s men. It can be done collaboratively. Suicide can be regarded as a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

In fact everything can best be done collaboratively in terms of domestic violence and

suicide. The suggestion is that we should look at things another way, not this counter-productive “us versus them” continuum and frenzies of misandry.

Tony Nicholl, Mt Eliza

Red Cross appeal As the festive season approaches and as we reach the end of our centenary year, I am reminded of the wonderful work of our Red Cross volunteers.

Each year our volunteers give hundreds of hours of their time to help people in crisis, not only in our local community but right around the world.

I am also constantly humbled by the generous public support we receive for our everyday work.

Donations to Red Cross help provide a healthy breakfast for kids who might otherwise go to school hungry, allow us to make a phone call every day to check that elderly or isolated people are OK, and help ensure remote communities in the Asia-Pacific have access to clean drinking water.

We also work in communities to help vulnerable families cope with the pressures of life, build pathways out of homelessness and work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples.

Despite our best efforts however, there are always new families that need our help each year, new communities that find themselves in crisis, and a growing number of lonely, elderly people who find themselves cut off from friends and family.

At this time of the year, when the generosity of all Australians shines through I would like to urge everyone to put a little something aside for people and families in crisis.

To give to the Red Cross Festive Appeal go to redcross.org.au or phone 1800 811 700.

Your tax-deductible gift to the appeal in our centenary year will make a real difference.

Toni Aslett, executive director Australian Red Cross

Loyal Liberals Continued from Page 1 Nepean MP and Education Minister Martin Dixon, re-elected for the sixth time, said the main difference in voting patterns in his electorate had been “a bigger increase for the Greens”.

He had won 18 out of 20 booths and expected his lead – 13.7 per cent ahead of Labor’s Carolyn Gleixner – to increase as pre-poll and postal votes were counted.

“But it’s a small consolation when you lose government,” Mr Dixon said.

Six of his ministerial advisers would now be out of jobs.

Mr Dixon said he would like Labor to complete the restructure of the Education Department, making it a “service to schools, not their manager”.

“We were weaning schools off the department and putting resources back into them”.

He said there was “no one reason” for the Coalition’s loss: “Nothing’s black and white in politics.” Federal issues had made things difficult for the state government by not explaining its austerity programs.

He had not seen any indication of the swing to Labor while working with Liberal candidates in marginal seats.

“I was always buoyed by the reception [of voters] and their high recognition of our candidates,” Mr Dixon said.

“In Frankston the Labor candidate [Paul Edbrooke] didn’t do much but unionists were out doorknocking and frightening people.

“I had a positive sense we would win the election, it [the loss] was a bit of a surprise.

“I had no sense people were out there with baseball bats.”

Mr Dixon would not speculate on who would replace Denis Napthine as Liberal leader: “The king’s dead. I’m just coming to terms with our loss and have been calling colleagues to see if they are OK.” Although former Labor premier Steve Bracks told ABC TV viewers on election night that the new government would have a look at the contract recently signed for a geothermal spa and accommodation-based project at Point Nepean National Park, Mr Dixon warned that ripping it up could lead to compensation being sought by the developer.

Full steam ahead as toys bring smiles Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ONE thousand toys for 1000 smiles is the mantra of the HMAS Cerberus Navy Steam Club, which is supporting this year’s St Vincent De Paul Christmas Gift Appeal.

Its members have set out to collect 1000 toys for the appeal and will deliver them on 9 December to St Vinnie’s aboard the steam club’s 1923 Foden steam wagon. The wagon will travel – slowly - over the West Gate Bridge from the city where the toys are assembled to St Vinnie’s western suburb’s depot.

Warrant Officer Ian Waller, a long standing member of the steam club, is a firm believer in supporting the community and encouraging generosity.

“Knowing these presents are going to worthy recipients, and are so appreciated, is wonderful. This also bonds the Cerberus community as we are working together to help others.

“A lot of people take Christmas and gift-giving for granted but some people are doing it tough out there.

Knowing we can help someone receive something unexpected is the best feeling.”

The Cerberus Junior Sailors' Welfare Committee has answered the call for help by donating $1000 to the appeal. With this donation, WO Waller is confident they’re on track to reach their goal, with the money expected to buy around 50 toys.

“We just did a tally and have 600 toys so far, meaning we are on track to have 1000 by on 9 December. We are

thrilled that people are so generous.”

The club collected 600 toys for St Vinnie’s in 2012 in the steam wagon, with WO Waller saying the six tonne vehicle could manage only 5km/h up the West Gate Bridge incline. “She’ll carry 200kg of coal and 600kg of wood for the trip,” he said.

One of three similar vehicles in Australia, the wagon was used for heavy haulage in the Hunter Valley, NSW, until 1969 when it was rescued as a wreck and restored by the Navy. It can carry six tonnes of fuel on-board and another six tonnes in its trailer.

In other Cerberus news, a ceremonial divisions and combined RMIT graduation parade will be held at HMAS Cerberus on Friday. Several hundred sailors, soldiers, airmen and women will parade in their ceremonial uniforms. A high ranking officer will review the parade and give an official address. Also on parade will be the newest Navy graduates from RMIT. Last week the AFL Flying Boomerangs ran a teamwork/personal leadership activity on the base. The program, for Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islanders aged 14 -15, is supported by the Coles AFL Indigenous Program.

The squad of 25 was chosen by AFL talent managers based on school attendance, leadership skills and football ability. It follows the 2014 National KickStart under-15 championships held at Coffs Harbour.

Also last week, 55 crew members from a visiting New Zealand Navy ship, HMNZS Te Kaha, arrived at HMAS Cerberus to see the facilities and take part in a friendly sports match.

Cafe collects toys CHRISTMAS has come early to Mornington cafe Via Boffe, with staff and customers collecting gifts for The Smith Family’s annual Toy & Book Appeal.

Owner, Susanne Xipolitos, hopes to encourage the community to consider those less fortunate by inviting them to donate new toys and books. These will be distributed to disadvantaged children on Sunday 14 December.

“We believe every child should have a happy Christmas, and we want to encourage our local community to get behind our toy and book appeal so we can help kids in need,” she said.

“So far, we have collected 68 toys and books which will go a long way towards helping children from disadvantaged backgrounds have a happy Christmas.”

A survivor’s write to survive Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au FEW people have had to endure the scale of tragedy and heartache suffered by Melbourne mother Susan Berg.

Fewer still have come out the other side radiating the warmth and passion for life the 44-year-old author now exudes.

Orphaned as a teenager following a boating accident in Western Port in which she was the sole survivor, Berg's life rapidly unravelled.

It took almost a quarter of a century of pain and self-loathing for the former Toorak College staff member and Mornington Peninsula resident to find the courage and fortitude to declare peace on herself.

The journey she outlines in her recently-released autobiography The Girl Who Lived doesn't so much follow the well-worn path of darkness to light as a heartbreaking decent from light to dense blackness and then back again.

In 1985 the then 15-year-old Berg's sheltered life of privilege was torn apart in an instant when her mother, father and brother drowned.

But tragedy was to become even more familiar in the years that followed.

“In the next 12 months alone, I lost my grandmother, uncle and cousin, along with two kittens and a goldfish,” Berg writes. “Everything I loved died.

“Before my 16th birthday, I’d been raped by a trusted family friend, introduced to drugs and preyed upon by a man who lured me into a seedy sexual world ... I was a teenager on the path of self-destruction.”

The chaos continued through her teenage years and included a string of destructive and abusive relationships, culminating with her falling pregnant at 19.

In stark contrast, Berg's life 29 years ago could scarcely have been more idyllic as she set out with her mother, father and brother on a crisp October afternoon for a fishing trip on Western Port.

The tight-knit family set out from their four hectare property at Silvan in the Yarra Ranges where Berg, a doted upon youngest child, had her own horse and enjoyed the company of two older sisters, a brother and swag of pets.

Her father was a doctor and her mother a career nurse. The one gripe of her otherwise happy life was the weekly church attendances she

Write track: It took more than three decades, but Susan Berg’s book has finally given her “permission to enjoy life”. Picture: Gary Sissons

was required to partake in with her devoutly Christian family.

Unlike her two sisters, Berg enjoyed the regular fishing outings in the family's small boat and had been particularly looking forward to the fateful Sunday outing.

“It was a crisp October afternoon, a perfect day for fishing,” Berg recalls.

“But our joyous day ended abruptly when, as the sun went down, our boat took on water and sank.”

With life jackets helping keep them afloat, the stricken family decided to remain with the now capsized boat and await emergency assistance.

But as the darkness deepened, it became clear help was unlikely arrive any time soon, so they agreed to try to swim to shore.

They prayed together then set out side by side into the unknown.

However, they soon became separated. Her father was the first to struggle,

so her brother went to his assistance while she and her mother swam on in search of help.

Not long afterwards, her mother fell behind. Berg had considered turning around but reasoned their best chance of survival was one of them making it to shore to raise the alarm.

But it would be hours before Berg reached the safety of dry land on French Island.

“Separated from my parents and brother, I swam in the darkness for hours, overcoming the threat of hypothermia, shark attacks and quick-sand mud.

“After crawling through pitch-black swamplands, I had arrived at an old prison island; a place virtually void of human life.”

She spotted the light of a farmhouse but by the time she was able to raise the alarm, it was 11pm, more than three hours after the boat had capsized.

The bodies of her father, Dr Edwin Berg, 57, mother Valarie Berg, 42, and 16-year-old brother William were found the following morning.

Soon after the tragedy, she and her sisters publicly vowed to “do their parents proud” by devoting themselves to leading the productive, morally upstanding lives the believed their parents would have wished for.

But within a year, Berg had dropped out of school and wandered far from her promised path.

“It had a lot to do with survivor's guilt,” Berg said last week. “I couldn't help feeling that I had done something wrong, that I should have been the one who died.

“I entered a very dark place and struggled to find any meaning in life.

“It was really thanks to the birth of my son that I was able to shift my focus somewhat and get away from the destructive behaviour.”

Despite remaining for the most part a single mother, Berg was able to forge a successful career as an executive assistant to some of the country's top CEOs. By 2007, she had brought her own house in Frankston and was enjoying material success.

But she continued to struggle to find any real meaning in her life.

Then four years ago, something shifted within her. She decided to drop her guilt and pursue happiness.

“I guess I finally gave myself permission to enjoy life.”

After deciding to pursue her dream of becoming a writer, she left her job, sold her home and set off on an “spectacular journey” riding her motorbike on a solo round trip from Melbourne to Byron Bay. She then went to Bali, where she lived in Ubud for six months while writing The Girl Who Lived, then continued her quest in Thailand.

The writing experience proved cathartic.

“I was difficult reliving all those memories, but it really helped with the healing process.

“It's turned out to be the best thing I have ever done, such a fantastic experience.

“Now I finally feel I'm being true to myself. I love life and embrace every moment.”

She now hopes her story will help inspire others to let go of their pain and find inner peace and happiness.

After returning from South East Asia in 2012, Berg took up a job as the executive assistant to the head of Toorak College's junior school.

While she said she enjoyed her time with the school, she recently decided to leave and dedicate herself to life as writer.

“To find true happiness you have to pursue your dreams, whatever the risks,” she said.

“I want to live my life to the fullest and, hopefully, that will inspire others to do the same.”

Summer different catch

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro AS spring draws to a close and we enter into summer our fishing options open further. Mako shark, kingfish, whiting, salmon, garfish and another round of squid.

Yep, if you're into fishing the Mornington Peninsula is a fine place to be The fishing on the Port Phillip side of the peninsula has been a bit everywhere. Some boats are compiling some great catches, yet others only a few meters away have been coming home bare.

These results can sometimes be attributed to varying levels of ability.

Currently, this is more to do with the mood of the fish than the angler's ability to angle.

While snapper are still the major target of many anglers, squid and whiting are about and quite a few anglers are targeting them with some good results.

Some good flathead continue to be landed both in close and in the snapper grounds.

The occasional salmon is about, but there are no great numbers at the moment.

Squid, garfish, leatherjacket and whiting have been the mainstay of the piers.

From the beaches there are a few salmon about and as this water gets warmer the flathead will start to show as well. For those fishing at gummy sharks have been targeted with success.

Over in Western Port the whiting have been good on both Quail and Tyabb banks. Best results have varied between two and five metres. Australian pippies have been the best bait.

Bagged: A nice catch of King George whiting.

The snapper in Western Port are biting like their kin in Port Phillip.

There is no great consistency in results, although they are there in good numbers.

Other species making a welcome addition to creels are gummy sharks, trevally, salmon, leatherjacket, grass whiting and rock flathead.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

Mt Eliza blokes call shed home FORMATION of a men’s shed group in Mt Eliza is closer to fruition after a recent expo at Mt Eliza Country Club.

More than 50 men attended the expo, which included displays by Chelsea and Mornington men’s sheds showing items made by members and activities.

The project is being driven by Mt Eliza Village Neighbourhood Centre, which has signed an agreement with

the country club to use its facility at 32 Old Mornington Rd. A planning group has been formed to guide the process. Activities are likely to include woodwork, automotive, health information and gardening.

The expo was organised by Gary Rogers of Chelsea men’s shed, Victorian Men’s Shed Association president Phil Keily, Don Reeves of

the neighbourhood centre, and Matt Kirk of the country club.

Members of Rotary Club of Mt Eliza provided the all-important sausage sizzle with goods donated by Mt Eliza IGA and Bakers Delight.

A public meeting for men interested in the project will be held Wednesday 10 December, 10am-midday, at Mt Eliza Country Club.

Coast guide charts peninsula’s wild shore Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au AUTHOR Graham Patterson took a financial risk last year when he selfpublished his book Coastal guide to nature and history – Port Phillip Bay. It was the first of what he hoped would be a series of Coastal Guide Books about his 40 years walking the Victorian shoreline. He started the ambitious task in his mid-20s and is now in his mid-60s, and has covered three-quarters of the coast.

"Whether I finish the task depends on my fitness," he said.

Mr Patterson, 66, a retired secondary school science teacher, was surprised at the reception the book received. It has sold in bookshops, to special interest groups, school libraries and to friends and acquaintances.

Now the second volume has just been published – Coastal guide to nature and history 2 – Mornington Peninsula's ocean shore, Western Port, Phillip Island & French Island.

The two books provide a comprehensive guide to the peninsula's 190 kilometres of coast, almost 10 per cent of Victoria's coastline.

Ocean emotion: Graham Patterson has walked Victoria’s coastline between South Australia and Wilsons Promontory, and written the second in a series of books, Coastal guide to nature and history 2 – Mornington Peninsula’s ocean shore, Western Port, Phillip Island & French Island. Picture: Gary Sissons

When he started walking the shores in the early 1970s, he had no ambition to publish a book or books. "I was doing it for my own pleasure and fitness," he said.

But during the walks he began to wonder about what he was seeing.

What are these animals and plants?

How was the rock layer in that cliff formed? What was this place like when it was in the range of indigenous tribes and then settled by Europeans?

He started walking sections for the second book about 15 years ago and has covered all 320 kilometres, which includes the Bass Strait coast from Point Nepean to Flinders, right around Western Port, and around its two main islands, French and Phillip.

It contains general walking and safety advice, Aboriginal and European history, and information about coastal animals and plants, landforms, and coast management.

"It's not exclusively a walking book but more a small encyclopedia of the region," he told The News.

Mr Patterson spent hours researching in libraries and historical societies as well as talking with experts.

He returned to places previously walked after having the book idea to take photos and has included historic images from the State Library of Victoria and other sources.

He walked the coast of French Island in two lots of two days. A Parks Victoria ranger drove him to various points. He spent many stints walking around Phillip Island.

"Access to the coast has become more restricted over the years," he said. "Several places used by birds for

breeding are now inaccessible, which is a good thing."

The northern end of Western Port was a challenge. "There was no point trying to walk between Tooradin airfield and the Bunyip River as the shore is lined with mangroves and mudflats. I paddled this stretch in my kayak but was reminded of the struggles of the early European settlers when I misjudged the tide and became stranded near the Bunyip River."

He used his paddle on the mud as a makeshift walking plank and dragged the kayak free after much effort.

"In 1857 Alex Mickle and his wife Agnes had to spend the night on their boat when they became stuck in the mud. Agnes later told her friends she was not perturbed as she had her knitting. I didn't have knitting so was pleased to get out of there before nightfall."

The book covers the creation of Western Port when land between faultlines began to sink millions of years ago. Other sections include advice for walkers, safety and tides, Aboriginal and European history, animals and plants, landforms, and coastal management.

The book, which was printed in Melbourne, has maps, a list of references and further reading, and a comprehensive index.  Coastal guide to nature and history 2 – Mornington Peninsula's ocean shore, Western Port, Phillip Island & French Island by Graham Patterson, 176 pages, paperback, $30 post-free at coastalguidebooks.net.au

Mornington News 2 December 2014

Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON will get a $1.2 million youth centre at the Peninsula Community Theatre precinct on the corner of Nepean Hwy and Wilsons Rd. Shire councillors last week accepted a tender from Mulgrave-based building contractor 4 Dimensions to renovate half of an old science block at the former Mornington Secondary College site.

A section will be occupied by Mornington Men’s Shed.

It will be the latest improvement at the precinct that contains Peninsula Community Theatre (formerly the school’s Findlay Hall), public meeting and performance areas at The Studio @ PCT (the old library) and Radio Port Phillip (the renovated half of the old science block).

The radio station section was opened in late 2011 after a shire-led Community Capital Project saw hundreds of residents and businesses donate time, equipment and goods to renovate half the old science block.

It cost about $400,000 in cash, one-third of the proposed youth centre.

RPP’s facilities – which include two studios, a large performance studio that can hold a brass band, voice-over and production room, boardroom, presenters’ room, offices, storage areas and toilets – have been described as the best community radio facilities in Australia.

The radio station renovation was led by a cluster of peninsula Rotary clubs.

Money for the youth centre comes from the federal government ($800,000), Mornington Peninsula Shire ($400,000) and the men’s shed,

which has a $60,000 grant from the state Department of Human Services.

The shire set aside its ambitions to renovate the second half of the old science block under the Community Capital Project model when federal MP Bruce Billson promised $800,000 for a youth centre in the lead-up to last year’s federal election.

The News understands the Rotary clubs have walked away from the project now that it has gone fully commercial although the men’s shed section will be fitted out by volunteers.

A council insider said the project had to go fully commercial to qualify for the federal grant. “The building contains asbestos that will have to be removed by a licensed builder,” they said.

Part of the youth centre project is public toilets for people using Peninsula Community Theatre.

Proposed works involve creation of three multipurpose activities areas, two consultation rooms, staff area and the toilets.

The men’s shed section will include a workshop, storage and general meeting area. Total building area is 720 square metres.

The contractor will have a flying start as roofing iron and insulation for the entire classroom block was sourced from BlueScope and Bradford Insulation (left over from the ill-fated Rudd government insulation scheme) when the radio station half was done in 2010 and 2011.  Mornington Peninsula Shire sold Mornington Youth and Community Centre in Wilsons Rd opposite the PCT precinct in October for $2.1 million. It is expected that home units will be built on the site, which was once home to the Peninsula Post newspaper and then Bernard Dowd’s Hickory women’s wear factory.

Chance to comment on next shire budget RESIDENTS and businesses, sporting and community groups are invited to provide input into Mornington Peninsula Shire’s draft annual and future budgets.

Mayor Cr Bev Colomb said all members of the community were invited to make a submission.

“It is important to offer this opportunity so that the budget reflects the priorities identified by our community, as well as providing ongoing service enhancements and infrastructure upgrades,” Cr Colomb said.

“As we move forward in long-term planning, we also invite residents’ ideas for consideration in future budgets.”

Ideas can be submitted via post, email or online through the shire’s website. There will also be opportunities to make verbal presentations before a council committee on Wednesday 11 February at the shire offices in Besgrove St, Rosebud.

The annual budget is part of a long-term process through which the council delivers programs, projects and initiatives in line with its

strategic plan 2013-2017.

A community meeting to plan the shire budget 2015/16 will be held 4-6pm Wednesday 11 February at the council chamber, Rosebud office, 90 Besgrove St, Rosebud.

Members of the community are invited to attend this meeting to make submissions for consideration in the development of the 2015/16 budget, as well as for future years, and to learn more about the budget and its process.

Written submissions will be accepted at the meeting. They should be sent by 10 February to Geoff Emberson, finance manager, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Private Bag 1000, Rosebud, VIC 3939 or emailed to budget@mornpen.vic.gov.au Those wishing to make a verbal presentation of their written submission at the community meeting should register via email to budget@mornpen.vic.gov.au by 5pm 10 February 2015.

Roadside trees bushfire danger David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au A SAVAGE bushfire season is being predicted for Victoria over the next three or four months.

Recent heavy rain is promoting grass growth on the Mornington Peninsula and many treed areas are cluttered with dead undergrowth and fine fuels, perfect kindling for a carelessly discarded cigarette or an arsonist.

Hundreds of kilometres of shire roadsides are infested with pinus radiata, a shire-declared incendiary weed that firefighters call “Roman candles” – they carry flames at speed into treetops that on a hot day can be filled with explosive eucalypt vapour.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has already inspected more than 4000 properties for fire hazards this season and has so far issued almost 1600 fire prevention notices. Property owners must ensure their land is not a fire hazard by slashing grass to 100mm (4 inches) or less as well as clearing fallen and dead vegetation.

However, roadsides remain dangerous, especially main roads that would be used by residents fleeing fires.

Many radiata are old and ready to fall, which can happen even on still days and would block escape routes. Little appears to have been done to seriously tackle this problem in the past 15 to 20 years.

VicRoads and the shire are responsible for roadside maintenance.

The shire roadsides management plan is likely to be considered by the council in mid-December. Its aims are:

 Preventing or reducing the risk of fires on roadsides.  Preventing the risk of spread of fire from the road reserve.  Managing safety of road users.  Providing control lines (for suppression of fires).  Ensuring recovery of roadside vegetation after roadside fires.

So far the shire has acknowledged the pine problem by “elevating” them – removing lower branches so flammable material is above a grass fire’s reach. Removing the trees is massively expensive. The other aims of the plan are vague or come into effect during or after fires.

The shire has designated 12 Neighbourhood Safer Places, all but Balnarring in coastal suburbs or townships.

For hinterland dwellers, where no safe place has been declared, shire advice is to leave early on fire danger days.

But many of the escape routes leading to safety in the event of north winddriven fires are pine-infested.

Arthurs Seat can be highly dangerous. Escape routes from it are west down the switchback Arthurs Seat Rd to Dromana, south along pine-infested Purves Rd to a number of other infested roads, or east along heavily treed and winding Arthurs Seat Rd. The CFA has estimated a fire starting beside the Mornington Peninsula Freeway could take just four minutes to reach the Arthurs Seat summit.

Authorities will need to decide whether to close the proposed Skylift chairlift on days of acute fire danger, especially with the possibility that crowds of tourists at the summit could

Not pining: The Mornington Peninsula is a high risk fire area due to the number of roads with pine trees growing alongside, which fireys call “Roman candles” due to their incendiary properties.

be stranded, their vehicles parked at the foot of the slope at the bottom station.

A further danger is deliberately lit fires. One occurred in January beside the freeway at Dromana but was quickly put out although it destroyed the thatched roof cafe of historic property Heronswood.

The CFA estimates more than 40 per cent of fires are deliberately lit, not all of them on high fire danger days.

“Bushfires don’t wait for a Code Red day,” a veteran firefighter said. “They don’t start on schedule. People don’t slash their paddocks, the shire is only required to slash and maintain a limited roadside area. There are people who oppose cleaning up roadsides because of plants and animals and too bad for people and stock caught in any fire.

“The shire has a huge problem that

Rich renovations THE Portsea and Sorrento area is tops for home renovation spending in Victoria.

A report by two research companies for Westpac Bank has the area at number two in Australia behind Sydney’s suburb of Mosman, where homeowners spent $76 million.

Property owners in the two high property price towns at the end of the Mornington Peninsula spent $41.7 million. Third place went to Albert Park in inner Melbourne on $41.3 million.

Victoria had seven places in the top 10 including Brighton, Richmond, Toorak, Hawthorn, and Malvern– Glen Iris.

About $600 million worth of residential renovations and conversions was approved in the past 12 months, a four-year, post-GFC high.

Passenger dies

just keeps on growing. I’ve watched the place turn into suburbia and they don’t think about dangers like smoke and embers. You can’t drive to safety if you can’t see where you’re going.”

The firefighter said this was a particular problem on the southern peninsula, where beachgoers could be unaffected by fires on the ocean beaches until the wind swung to the southwest, blowing smoke and embers on them.

“There doesn’t seem to be a plan to get people safely out of areas past Rye,” he said. “The road system simply can’t handle panicking crowds.

The freeway was closed a few years ago by quite a small fire at McCrae, leaving Point Nepean Rd to cope with thousands of cars.

“We just have to pray each year that it doesn’t happen down here.”

A WOMAN has died in hospital following a crash at Tuerong Saturday afternoon.

Police said a Mazda and Ford collided at the intersection of Coolart and Hunts roads about 3pm.

The 25-year-old female passenger of the Mazda was taken to The Alfred hospital where she later died from her injuries.

The Mazda driver, a 27-year-old Carlton man, sustained minor injuries.

The driver of the Ford, a 30-yearold Balnarring man, also sustained minor injuries.

Rosebud highway patrol has appealed for witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Gliders take off into blue over green HANG glider and paraglider pilots are taking off from much firmer – and less slippery – ground from the cliffs next to Flinders golf course. New synthetic grass has replaced tattered carpet from where the gliders can be launched.

Rob van der Klooster, of the Victorian Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, said the $20,000 project would rectify the “slip hazard” at the launch site.

He said a launching place at Portsea was also being refurbished “hopefully in time for Christmas”.

Advice on a website for hang gliders and paraglid-

ers being flown at Flinders talks about pilots using “quite buoyant bubbles of air” from rocks on the beach to spend “many happy times floating about 700 foot above take-off riding these bubbles while less fortunate souls without varios whiz about only one or two hundred feet above launch”.

“The Flinders area has proven to be a very popular, versatile paragliding and hang gliding venue. The golf course take off area and recovery steps make it that much safer and easier,” the website advises.

“When the wind is SW [south west], give it away, the

turbulence in the corner has nearly claimed some of our more experienced pilots.”

The website also advises pilots not to drive the wrong way down the one-way road through the golf course and to land on the beach to “ensure that we keep the golfers happy”.

Other “special rules” applying at Flinders include no aerobatics near the launch ramp, no using the golf course to wrap equipment, using walking paths and not flying in front of the West Head naval base: “The guns are still in use!”

REMEMBER WHEN?...

Most family homes had a large back yard and kids played back yard cricket, over the fence was out, or they played kick to kick and most houses had a veggie patch and a few chooks. Dad had a proper shed where he could tinker on his old car and store the camping gear. All these memories can be a reality again. This meticulously presented and well maintained 3 bedroom home has been sited on the large 900m2 approx allotment to allows plenty of room for a large shed (STCA) with direct street access through a set of double gates. There is still plenty of room for other things. This home also offers 2 living area plus dining, well appointed kitchen and sliding doors leading on to the large tranquil covered outdoor entertaining area. The master bedroom offers a full ensuite and walk-in robe. Long hot summers will not be a problem with the ducted evaporative air-conditioning. There is also side access next to the remote controlled double garage where a boat, caravan or trailer can be securely stored behind a second set of high gates. The location offers easy walking to Bentons Square Shopping Centre and a variety of medical and affiliated services. It’s also close to parks including the Sherlock Family Playground and Duns Road reserve which is a leach free area for the family’s best friend.This property represents sensational value and is a must to inspect.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Good rain promises bumper crops this season Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE monthly meeting of committee of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association in the Mechanics Hall on Monday next at 8pm when the report of the show committee will be considered and other business. *** THE Mornington Racing Club have accepted the offer of Mr P. F. Hogan of Prahran, at £10, for the publican’s booth at the meetings on December 8, and the refreshment and luncheon booth will be at the capable hands of Mr Bien. The chief secretary has proclaimed race day a public holiday throughout the shire of Mornington. *** MR J. A. Jensen, assistant minister of Defence, accompanied by Rear Admiral Sir William Creswell, visited the Westernport Naval Base on Saturday for the purpose of inspecting the works in progress there.

Sir Creswell stated that the work in progress was proceeding satisfactorily. Good progress had been made and he was well satisfied with what he had seen during the tour of inspection. *** THE lads of the district who have joined the Second Expeditionary Force, will be farewelled in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening, when they will be presented with souvenirs to keep in remembrance of old friends.

A good programme will be gone through consisting of Patriotic songs and addresses and a farce by the members of St Pauls Club. The Brass

Band will also play several selections. *** A court of Petty Sessions was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday, before Messrs Tanner PM, C. G. V. Williams, and W. Ottes, J.P’s.

Several cases of children being absent from school and cases of nonvaccination were brought up by Constable McCormack and the parents were fined in various cases. *** AS a result of competitive examinations, held in October, Mr Frank Plowman, son of Dr Plowman of Frankston, has gained eligibility for entrance to the Duntroon Military College of the Commonwealth.

In Victoria there were 83 candidates and many other competitors from other states.

Mr Plowman was tenth in order of merit of all the commonwealth candidates.

It may be mentioned that this year he won from scratch the Geelong Grammar School mile walk and was second in the state event at the Combine Sports (all starting from scratch). *** THE Frankston Choral Society’s Concert, given as a complimentary to Rosa Alba (the brilliant new soprano) takes place this (Saturday) evening, and promises to be one of the best ever given in the hall.

A first class programme has been arranged, including several songs

by Rosa Alba and Frederic Earp (the popular. English baritone) will give a recital of “’Ye old English Lyrics and Folk Songs.”

Mr W. Myers, who is favorably known as a raconteur will recite and the Choral Society will render several madrigals and glee.

Taken altogether, the concert should be well worth listening to, and we would advise those who wish to get a good seat to go early and avoid the crush. *** THE necessity of posting Christmas letters and pickets early is emphasised in an order issued to Commonwealth post masters, directing them to take action to invite the co-operation of the public in the matter.

Attention is drawn to the fact that early posting of Christmas matter ensures timely delivery, but posting with a hare margin for delivery on Christmas day is likely to defeat its own object because of delay, due to congestion.

As a means of avoiding congestion, and to provide for the expeditious delivery of mail matter at this period, postal articles, other than news papers, which it is desired should be delivered but not opened by the addressee until Christmas or New Year and bearing the endorsement “Not to be opened until Christmas” or other suitable inscription, may now be posted. *** IT will be seen by an advertisement in another column that a sea trip from Stony Point to San Remo has been organised by the Westernport Progress Association for Thursday evening.

If the weather is favourable this is one of the most enjoyable excursions

possible. Their steam will return from San Remo to catch the special train at Stony Point at 6.30pm.

Only 160 tickets have been printed so that early purchase of tickets is advisable to prevent disappointment on the day.

The price of each ticket is 3/6 for the sea journey (the ordinary return cost being 10s.)

Tickets can be obtainable in Frankston from Dr Plowman, hon secretary to the Association, Mr F. G. Chamberlin, and Mr J. Reynolds. . *** MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next when they will have a good yarding of stock, also sheep and lambs. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason’s monthly sale at Somerville will be held on Wednesday next, for which entries are invited by the auctioneers. *** A QUIET wedding was celebrated at the Roman Catholic Church, Frankston, on Monday last, the contract or Miss Annie Brody, eldest daughter of Mr Frank Brody of Frankston, and Mr J. S. Jordon. After the ceremoony the happy couple left by evening train for the Gippsland Lakes where the honeymoon will be spent. *** MR and Mrs G. Griffith intend celebrating the opening of their new Two-Bays building at the Moorooduc Railway Station by a concert, dance, and supper on Wednesday evening

next. A small charge will be made for admission, which it is intending to donate to the Lady Helen Munro Ferguson’s Red Cross Fund. *** MR Alec Clarey will give his interesting and amusing cure on Phrenology in the Mechanics Hall Frankston on Wednesday evening next week when he will read the heads of those who submit themselves to him. *** IT is with regret that we announce the death of Miss Emily McLear, second daughter of Mr and Mrs G. McLear, of “Mayfield” Dromana.

The deceased, who was only 18 years of age, had been in ill health for some time. But her death came as a shock to her family and friends. The funeral which took place on Wednesday at 2 o’clock was very well attended. Rev Sherwood affiliating at the grave. Deepest sympathy is felt by all for the family on their bereavement. *** THE rain last week did a great amount of good to orchid and nurseries. The fruit trees in the district never looked better and are carrying a fair crop especially Jonathon apples.

Buyers are operating freely and much higher prices are offering for fruit that has been the case for many years, the reason being the failure of crops in all other parts. The Mutton bird eggers hive returned from the rockeries at Philip Island with good baskets upwards of 500 dozen being secured by the Somerville contingent.

Renowned for successful patient outcomes, Foot + Leg Pain Clinics, do not use popular medications such as cortisone and anti-inflammatories and warns of their potential side affects.

Dr. Kavanagh explains, “Such treatments have now been proven to only provide short term benefits and can actually have negative affects.”

Negative side effects can include increased risk of joint replacement, inhibition of tissue repair, acceleration of the progression of osteoarthritis and the narrowing of joint spaces “Thanks to the latest medical research and

treatments, we are now able to successfully treat pain, injuries and degenerative concerns better than ever before, without the use of such pharmaceuticals. You just need the right treatment and advice.“ Dr. Kavanagh recommends natural treatments such as prolotherapy, (natural injection therapy for pain relief and tissue regeneration), PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma (a new technology utilising injections of your own blood), modern prescription orthotic therapy or strengthening and conditioning programs and nutritional supplementation.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Reinventing myself in the blink of an eye

By Stuart McCullough IS it ever too late to reinvent yourself?

Like week-old bread or the pair of unwashed socks that fall behind the back of the couch and are discovered only upon moving out, I have become stale.

It’s time to jazz things up a little. By ‘jazz things up’ I don’t mean speaking in an odd time signature before undertaking a twelve-minute solo that sends people to sleep, growing a goatee while wearing a black skivvy or even donning a beret indoors, but some mild kind of metamorphosis that makes life a little more interesting. They options are many and varied. I could always try and alter my physical appearance; lose a little weight, perhaps even up the exercise quotient in the faint hope that my t-shirts will soon struggle to contain bulging muscles rather than wobble like a plate full of trifle. But all that sounds like a lot of effort. There must be a simpler option.

Maybe some type of catchphrase would help. It works a treat on television sitcoms; there’s no reason it wouldn’t do the same in real life. But which catchphrase should I claim as my own? I can’t imagine myself telling another person to ‘Sit on it, bucko’. The circumstances in which I might reasonably ask ‘Whatchoo talkin’ ‘bout Willis?’ without exposing myself to substantial ridicule are, by any measure, limited. The time for ‘aye currumba’ has, sadly, been and gone. ‘Book ‘em Danno’ would be flat-out confusing. Stealing someone else’s catchphrase is a tricky business.

They generally belong to an individual and either sound disingenuous or

PAGE 64

hopelessly out of date when found in the mouths of others. It will have to be something else.

It’s often said that clothes maketh the man. Given that I, as I’m writing this, am wearing tracksuit pants and a t-shirt bearing the slogan, ‘I do all my own stunts’, I can only hope that this is wrong. Clothing aside, what re-

Mornington News 2 December 2014

ally maketh a man memorable is his jewellery. In high school, I owned a silver chain. Presumably I was hoping to ward off vampires when I should have chosen something that repelled mosquitoes instead. The man-chain is a distinct look that deserves further consideration. When a man wears a necklace, more often than not, a cou-

ple of buttons are sacrificed in order to ensure the full magnificence of the work is on display. Perhaps it’s time to give up on neckties and pursue the man-chain? After a moment’s thought, I suspect I speak for everyone when I say, ‘Thanks, but no thanks’. I like to keep my buttons securely fastened.

Those who like to take it down a notch and treat their chest like a display pillow for precious metals are, frankly, far too bohemian for my tastes.

Of course, there are other options - it doesn’t have to be a necklace. Piercings are always a popular option. I had my ears pierced at the end of high school and it would be a shame to puncture them all over again as I feel they’ve only recently ceased to be infected. As for other piercings – nose, eyebrow or other parts too far-flung and uncomfortable to mention – they don’t say ‘reinvention’ so much as they scream ‘middle-age crisis’. Besides, what if I pierce something only to have it deflate like a leaky lilo?

There’s something I’ve never been game to try. It doesn’t involve putting on a costume or violating your physical integrity but it just might be the pathway to reinvention. Winking. I’ve long held a fascination for those who feel so confident with their place in the world that they’ll wink at another person while speaking to them. Whenever it happens, my first instinct is to question whether, in fact, I just imagined it.

That’s the thing about winking at others – it’s so audacious that it makes the other person question their very sanity.

You never see a wink coming. That’s because there’s never an appropriate

time to let one fly. It simply comes out of nowhere and leaves you feeling as though everything you know is wrong.

Truth be told, I’ve never really had the right amount of confidence.

There’s always the risk of misjudging. If you wink at someone and they ask you whether there’s something in your eye, you know you’ve made a complete hash of it. Or they think you’re lying; that whatever you’ve just said is an utter falsehood, all because you closed one eye and not the other. Worse still is the possibility that you might come across as kind of creepy and rather than drawing others into your confidence you have, in fact, repelled them as surely as a can of Mortein.

I’ve decided. There will be no winking. Reinvention can’t be forced, it must occur naturally. Unless, of course, you’re Madonna which, for the most part, I am not. Besides, winking is not much use to those who write. There’s something about it that fails to translate to the page. Winking may be fine for some, but for me the risks are simply too great. Pretending to be a winker would be to defy my natural instincts. Nor do I intend to get a bunch of piercings that make my eyes water before ripping the top two buttons off every single one of my shirts and adopting the man-chain.

Just because you can reinvent yourself doesn’t mean you should. Inertia has its upside. There’s something to be said for staying right…where…you… are. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

POWERED BY

IT’S GONNA BE A BOOM CRASH RED HOT SUMMER

& arts

entertainment THIS month again saw me throw back to my teen years. I was lucky enough to speak to one of the forming members of Boom Crash Opera, Peter Farnan. Still creating music close to 30 years on and keeping the fresh sounds coming from Boom Crash Opera.

With songs like Onion Skin, Hands Up In the Air, Bettadaze and The Best Thing to name a few, Boom Crash Opera embody the spirit of 80s and 90s Australian rock. With Melbournebased Dale Ryder on vocals, there are few Aussie music fans who wouldn’t be familiar with the band’s impressive back catalogue.

Boom Crash Opera smashed onto the music scene with their debut single Great Wall in the mid-80s and never looked back. Described

as one of the country’s most underestimated pop phenomenons, it is in their live shows that Boom Crash Opera really shine. A Boom Crash Opera show ensures audiences are on their feet from the start to the finish, an enviable quality for a band.

It really is amazing – nearly 30 years has passed, but the words of the ‘Great Wall’ come back like I had heard it on 3XY just yesterday.

Speaking with Farnan he gave a great insight into the music industry of yesteryear.

The times when Boom Crash Opera were everywhere. Over 14 times on the ARIA charts these guys certainly had the rocking sound that encapsulated us all; long Summers singing along with the guys. The

THE GRAND HOTEL SPORTS BAR

PH 5975 2001

industry it seems has changed for the best.

“Music making is now no longer controlled by executives deciding what to give to the masses”, says Farnan. “Today Boom Crash Opera band members live in different parts of Australia, hell we could be in different parts of the world and still lay down new tracks.

Gone are the months of isolation from our family and friends whilst we are locked down in a recording studio.” Farnan went on to say, “with the growth of the internet and the awesome software currently available we can now record our parts and all return them to be mixed. Simple. It has also allowed us to re-imagine some of our best hits. It moves the music into the 21st Century.” For me, this makes sense. A new re-imagined sound with

IN 2015 Just as the festival season heats up with some big events, so too are some more local events announced, with local roots/rock festival ‘Shed Rock’ now entering it’s fifth year with a February 7, 2015 date confirmed.

The event is the brainchild of Turk Tresize (aka. Mr Shed Rock), starting as a small event for fellow musicians and friends at his farm, 50kms south east of Melbourne in Cannons Creek. After two tumultuous festivals in 2011 battling the weather, the last two events have been all about “keeping it real and raw, and rockin’ out in the sun,” according to organisers.

Gates are set to open at 9am for campers, with bands starting from midday in a line-up including headliners Phil

POWERED BY

KITCHENALIA Who would have though such beauty could be found in everyday objects? The sort of craftsmanship that went into creating useful objects of yesteryear is not seen in today’s household wares. The marriage of creativity and utility has largely dissolved, but Peninsula artist Sharron Okines has brought it back through her stunning series of linocut prints entitled Kitchenalia.

Sharron’s award winning prints are a very personal journey. They are her way of connecting with the elders she didn’t get know because she moved from England as a child and didn’t get to spend time in the kitchens of her grandmothers and great aunts. This exhibition is both a tribute to and a construction of her imagined family history. Objects are imbued with imagined identity.

This year Okines was a finalist in the prestigious Silk Cut Awards and Inkfest, a biennial award exhibition in Cairns with Kitchenalia, adding to a long list of group and solo exhibitions from Melbourne to New York.

Impressive credits considering Okines only received her Diploma of Fine Arts (Chisolm Frankston) four years ago. She also paints and draws. Her work is held in Australian collections, including the National Gallery of Australia as well as overseas.

See Kitchenalia at Fig Tree Galley at The General Wine Lounge, 677 Point Nepean Highway, McCrae until December 20.

ENTERTAINMENT

Performance GRAMMY Award winner Neil Diamond will embark on an Australian tour in 2015. Neil Diamond World Tour 2015 will kick off in Melbourne at the Rod Laver Arena on 27 October 2015 before heading to Adelaide, Brisbane and the Hunter Valley and conclude in Sydney.

New York born Diamond worked as a songwriter before performing in local coffee shops and signing to Bang Records where he recorded his first three singles Solitary Man, Cherry Cherry and I’ve Got the Feeling.

As a songwriter he wrote big hits for the Monkees (I’m a Believer and A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You), Lulu and the Hollies (He Ain’t Heavy…He’s My Brother). As a solo artist, his big breakthrough came with Sweet Caroline, which became a Top 10 hit in the US and Australia. In fact, Diamond has had more than seven Top 10 hits in Australia and 11 Top 40 hits.

The 2015 tour will feature songs from his newest studio album Melody Road which debuted in the Top 10 in Australia, as well Neil’s long list of hits spanning many decades including Cherry Cherry, Holly Holy, Cracklin’ Rosie, Song Sung Blue, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Solitary Man, Sweet Caroline, Love on the Rocks, Desiree and Shilo.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 12 noon on Thursday 11 December. Ensuring there is something for every fan, Dainty Group is offering a range of ticket options for all arena shows from $59.90 to $159.90 plus transaction and credit card charges where applicable.

“Neil is one of the greatest live performers in the world and I have been honoured to work with him for more than 3 decades and now again on his 2015 world tour,” Dainty Group chairman Paul Dainty said. “The depth and power of the Neil Diamond songbook, from his early hits, right through to his brand new critically acclaimed Melody Road album, will ensure an incredible live concert experience for all fans.”

By Gary Turner

the production. The show originated in Australia, where after years of planning, Walking with Dinosaurs came to life at Sydney’s Acer Arena in January 2007. Soon after this successful season the show went on to conquer Europe and Asia garnering record-breaking statistics.

Tickets at www.visaentertainment. com.au and www.dinosaurlive.com

Tickets at www.ticketek.com.au/neildiamond More information www.daintygroup. com/neildiamond-aus *** AFTER several years of expansion throughout the 1980s, the Victorian Football League became the Australian Football League in 1990. Celebrating 25 years of AFL Grand Finals, Shock Entertainment has packaged a limited edition collection presented in a custom book with slipcase containing rare photos and insights from that one day in September.

Marvel at the electrifying individual brilliance of Norm Smith Medallists such as Peter Matera, Andrew McLeod, Chris Judd and Steve Johnson. It also features the nail biting finishes like the West Coast Eagles vs Sydney Swans classics and the 2010 draw. Watch in awe at the dominance of the Brisbane Lions’ three-peat and Geelong Cats’ dominance winning three premierships in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

This 26-DVD set has the lot, including the 2014 Toyota AFL Grand Final; this highly coveted collection will be limited and numbered. A truly unique and collectable piece that will be highly prized by any fan of Australian Football. AFL – 25 Years of AFL Collection is available on 3 December and is a great Christmas gift. www.shock. com.au *** THE first record Elvis Presley ever made will go up for auction next year, along with his first driver’s licence. The items are among 68 collectables going under the hammer on 8 January. Presley was 18 in June 1953, when he paid $4 at Sun Studios to record My Happiness on a 78rpm acetate disc as a gift for his mother. *** Sinead O’Connor has just announced the addition of a Melbourne date to her 2015 I’m not Bossy I’m the Boss Australian tour. Sinead will appear at Hamer Hall, Arts Centre on Wednesday

4 March and the Port Fairy Folk Music Festival 6-7 March. *** DINOSAURS will once again roam Australian soil when the spectacular production, Walking with Dinosaurs – The Arena Spectacular, based on the award winning BBC TV series, returns in 2015 at the Hisense Arena, from 2529 March. Worldwide, more than eight million people in 243 cities have seen Walking with Dinosaurs.

Ten species are represented from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs. The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the terror of the ancient terrain, as well as the Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the awesome Cretaceous period. The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus, is 36 feet tall and 56 feet from nose to tail. It took a team of 50, including engineers, fabricators, skin makers, artists and painters, and animatronic experts – a year to build

“preserving the quality of life on the peninsula as a key focus”. Rosebud Hospital Marty, surely and more buses, taxis? *** “NO cuts to the ABC and SBS” said Lord Tony, sincerely supported by the smiling assassin, Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Surely nobody in their right mind believed Tony so why scream now?

What did Julia or Kevvy do for them while they had a chance; neither having an arts bone in their bodies?

Think of the positives. No more Upper Middle Bogan and It’s a Date?

Still, the ABC and SBS are vital links to our sense of reality. Close the doors and you let the wolves in, all wearing blue ties. Best to hope, though forlorn, for a one-term government and a Labor Party with an appreciation for the arts. And Collingwood for premiers in 2020. *** ORCHIDS to Jacqui Lambie and Ricky Muir for stepping out of their yellow PUP suits to vote against the changes to the financial advice laws.

Not that I care two hoots for the laws either way. Those silly enough to get financial advice will find a way whatever. Recall the stupidity of Pyramid shares at 15 per cent? It’s the principle of the two senators I admire, in this single instance anyway. *** LINDSAY Fox keeps that 45 metres

of Point King Beach at Portsea despite Matthew Guy’s vow to bring in retrospective laws, which of course nobody of sane mind believed. Terry McCrann on the matter of corporate tax avoidance: “No-one benefits from wasting time and societal outrage chasing imaginary avoidance shadows down figurative rabbit holes”. Terry should know. He’s been deep in those rabbit holes creating opposition to the Labor Party for many years. I’ve never seen Terry in the flesh but if he’s taller than 160cm I’d be disappointed. *** A FAIRFAX/Ipsos poll indicated some three out of four people favoured access to a physician for assisted death. Inconclusive but good enough for me. The Medical Board of Australia suspends Dr Philip Nitschke because they are “focused on public safety and managing risk to patients”. Tripe. There are many aspects to considering the euthanasia question but to date the Medical Board of Australia has given us nothing, apart from smoking being the major cause of all ills. I place no blame on doctors in the palliative care industry knowing first hand of the great work they do, however I suspect if Rupert Murdoch or Lindsay Fox ever get to wanting euthanasia they would have no problem. In life, in politics, in gambling, it’s who you know.

*** SINGER-SONGWRITER Robby X, who is an ambassador for the McGrath Foundation, will be donating royalties from the sale of her new single Never Wanna Let You Go to the foundation to assist with their fundraising efforts.

Never Wanna Let You Go is the first single lifted from Robby’s latest album Obsession which debuted at No.25 on the iTunes Top 300 Pop Albums Chart last week.

For the album, Robby assembled an impressive list of musical collaborators. Among them, award winning songwriter/producer, Lindsay Rimes (The Madden Brothers, Tina Arena) and Ciaran Gribbin (Snow Patrol, Paul McCartney, and INXS).

Robby X is already well known as creative collaborator and wife of Country superstar Lee Kernaghan.

A Grain of Salt JANUARY (Janus) approaches. We brace ourselves for the onslaught after the mild schoolies entree.

Two faces looking to the future and the past. Croats, Latvians, Italians, Greeks, Moslems, Asians, the Rye carnival; make my month.

Bring your ski jets, your wonderful loud music. “The more our moral thoughts are abundant and solid the more engrossing they are and oppressive” [Montaigne]. Not a day passes without a thought to my future, fleetingly dismissed in favour of the forlorn hope of something, even sexual stimulation whatever the form. Should age be a barrier to anything other than approved puritan behaviour? The handicaps arrive to stay, forever, and nobody is listening. Oppressive indeed. It’s the silly season, debauchery thoughts disallowed. Bring it on. A song? “Away in a Manger”. The little Lord Jesus. *** ONE of the great consistencies in our way of life is if you tell people enough times it’s as sure as night follows day the thought will become embedded with little if any reasoning. Julie Bishop in a 7.30 interview mentioned five times “the mess Labor left us in”. Letters to newspapers as in “they’re spending our money”,or locally the Liberal government cleaning up Labor’s inability to handle financial matters. If one was to spend time asking people

PAGE 70

for the “facts” they will give you a few whys, where always inferences only reign supreme. There’s seemingly this desire to believe whatever is obscure. Add in Stephen Milne, unions, witches, miracles, UFOs. Before elections it’s law and order, union thuggery and silence for the likes of banks and Grocon. It begins with a thread and follows on, relentlessly. Ever a fascination. *** DENIS and Danny big on hospitals but no mention of Rosebud hospital?

Martin Dixon quiet on his promise of the aquatic centre on the foreshore, abandoned, with a $3 million government compensation offer, if they win? It’s a long way from Rye to Frankston by ambulance suffering from a heart attack. I spent four hours in Frankston Hospital recently courtesy of the ambos; amazing skills, 14 hour shifts, underpaid. Attended by nurse Jacqui, no relation to darling Senator Jacqui Lambie, speaker of renown. Charming Jacqui, but no escape from bandaids to all parts of my chest, a particular glint when spotting chest hairs; the secret masochist. Signed myself out at 2am. Dreadful beds and plastic pillows worse than the thought of possible disaster. Frankston was fine but Rosebud Hospital is surely to the stage of needing a permanent update. According to an opposition local newspaper Martin Dixon cited

At the very least when he goes to the theatre, he will not be just a stone sitting upon another.” Assuming of course with his university fees debt he can afford the admission price. *** Congratulations to John Cain, professional letter writer from McCrae.

Skilled, gentle, effective treatment?

Nonsense never takes a holiday...

scoreboard Hills manage to lose ‘the unlosable’ PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully HEATHERHILL remains winless at the bottom of the MPCA Provincial ladder after Langwarrin staged a magnificent come from behind victory.

Kangas spin king Dwayne Doig snared 7/30 off 31.2 overs and master bowler Adrian Mack took 3/39 from 22 overs to drag their team over the line.

After the first day of the match, it appeared there was no way that Langwarrin could win after being bowled out for just 93.

Heatherhill resumed on day two, just 24 runs shy of victory with six wickets in hand.

However, Doig and Mack went to work and between them snared 5/8 to have the Hills nine down.

Jon Powell, who was the Heatherhill weapon with the ball taking seven wickets, almost won them the game with the bat, batting at 11.

Powell made 10 runs and got the Hills to within five runs of victory before he danced down the pitch to a Doig floater.

Keeper Taylor Smith whipped off the bails to give him his fifth dismissal of the innings nd Doig’s seventh scalp.

Heatherhill was all out for 89 in the 65th over.

Langwarrin fared better with the bat in the second innings, finishing on 4/151, Matty Prosser unbeaten on 48 to give him his highest score in First XI cricket.

Crib Point completed the expected and knocked over Rye outright.

The Magpies had already claimed the 12 points before the second day of the match after bowling the Demons out for 128.

Crib Point resumed at 2/150 after Luke Herrington made 72. Rob Hearn added just four runs (70) to his overnight score before the Pies declared at 6/181.

Rye was bowled out for 114 in its second dig, Brad Davidson the destroyer for the Pies with 5/47, while Glenn Barclay picked up 3/40, giving him match figures of 7/81.

Crib Point needed just 60 odd runs to pick-up the outright, which it did without losing a wicket. Henry Dolphin was unbeaten on 37.

Sorrento continued its march, smashing Mornington by six wickets.

The Dogs did everything right when it set the Sorras a total of 250 for victory on the first day.

However, Corey Harris made an unbeaten 119 and Nick Jewell helped himself to another half century (61) to give the Sharks an easy victory.

The usual potent Mornington attack didn’t provide any problem for the home side, who sit pretty on top of the table.

Despite an unbeaten 101 from Long Island master Scott Phillips, it wasn’t enough to help his side claim the points against Peninsula Old Boys.

Set 245 for victory, the Islanders were looking alright at 2/80, before losing two quick wickets.

Simon Dignan joined Phillips at the crease and again, the Islanders looked as though they were getting back on top,

before Dignan was removed for 21 with the score on 147.

Stephen Hocking was the next to join Phillips and together, they pushed the score beyond 200.

Hocking’s dismissal saw the end of the Islander’s push for victory.

The Old Boys claimed 5/25, thanks largely to the efforts of Tom Feldgen, who picked-up two of the last five wickets (both bowled), to give him 3/36 from nine overs.

Long Island was bowled out for 226.

Moorooduc successfully defended its 157 against Pines.

The Ducs notched up their first win of the season after rolling the Piners for just 141.

Pines resumed at 3/41, however, Greg Pullen bowled wonderfully well for the Ducs, claiming 5/31 from 16 overs.

Jeremy Weare was Pines only shining light with 76. At the other end of the scale, five Pines batsmen were dismissed for ducks.

Baxter got the job done against Mt Eliza, winning by 36 runs.

Baxter resumed at 2/68 on the second day after Mt Eliza made 171 in their first innings.

A sensational 102 from Daniel Warwick and 40 from Shane McComb ensured the home side picked up the 12 pints.

Mt Eliza still only has the one win for the season, while Baxter remains at the top of the ladder.

Parkers in strife, Red Hill further in front DISTRICT

By IT Gully LAST year’s MPCA District grand finalists Delacombe Park are in danger of missing the finals this season after going down yet again on Saturday.

Up against Main Ridge, Delacombe needed just 162 runs to claim victory.

They resumed three wickets down but things didn’t improve, eventually bowled out for just 123.

Shane Deal was the team’s highest scorer with 32.

Andrew Christides was left unbeaten on 25.

Scott Millar was outstanding for the Ridge with 5/67 from 34 overs, while Gareth Wyatt claimed 3/12 from eight overs.

Carrum staged a great victory over Mt Martha, winning a tight one by just two runs.

Set 166 for victory, the Lions needed just 43 runs with five wickets in hand on the second day.

It was a scrape but they got there, thanks largely to the start the openers gave, Shaun Foster scoring 55 and Dale O’Neil 36.

Seaford Tigers knocked over Hastings as expected.

The Blues remain on the bottom of the ladder after being bowled out for just 63.

Hastings resumed at 3/8 after bowling the Tigers out for 148 on the opening day.

However, other than an unbeaten 38 from Luke Hewitt, the Blues were ordinary with the bat.

Matty Meagher was sensational for the Tigers with 8/20.

Carey Sawosz finish with match figures of 6/49 after claiming two second innings’ wickets.

Seaford did well to pick-up the 220 needed for victory against Flinders.

It appeared the Sharks may have done enough after the first day of the match, scoring 8/220, however, Seaford got the runs with three wickets in hand.

Faisal Payenda top scored for Seaford with 51, Paul Hartle chippedin with an unbeaten 47.

Andy McMannis was still there at the end too with 38.

There were some tense moments for Seaford when they lost 4/35 to slump to 7/145, however, Hartle and McMannis steered the ship home.

Somerville did it easy against Baden Powell.

Set 167 for victory, Somerville finished the afternoon on 7/214.

Leigh Lowry top scored for his team with 70, while Andrew West hit 47.

Brendan Jovic was the pick of the Braves bowlers with 4/80.

Red Hill extended its lead at the top of the table with an outright victory against Boneo.

The Hillmen rolled the Pandas for 75 and 173 while declaring both of their innings just five wickets down.

Ryan Jellie with 97 was the shining light for Boneo in what was otherwise a very poor match for them.

Braddles get the job done SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association legend Paul Bradley made life extremely tough for Rosebud on Saturday, preventing them from having any chance of winning the game.

The Buds had already lost on first innings at the conclusion of day one, after scoring just 53.

Frankston YCW resumed on 3/58, five runs ahead, and their plan was clearly to prevent Rosebud from having the opportunity to bat again.

Sam Preston made 16 off 142 balls and batted for three hours, while Paul Bradly made 88 and batted for three and a half hours.

Eventually, the Stonecats faced 103 overs and made 176 runs. It was enough to stop the Buds in their tracks.

Jason Nagel finished with 4/44 from 33 overs for the Buds while Adam Bryant snared 2/51.

Carrum Downs was always in the box seat against Tootgarook after setting the opposition 284 for victory.

It proved to be 140 too many for the visitors, bowled out for 144.

Chris Maloney was the pick of the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowler with 3/37 from 16 overs, while Stuart Swift, Chamara Perera and Shane Walford all claimed two wickets each.

Ballam Park escaped an outright loss to Pearcedale, however, it still lost on first innings.

The Knights were bowled out for 107 on the first day and at stumps

the Dales were cruising at 1/116.

Pearcedale went after the runs early on day two and eventually declared their innings at 5/208.

Brad Trotter added 36 runs to his overnight total to make 80, while Shayne Gillings hit 44 and Gav Moore 41.

Ballam Park struggled early in their second innings, reeling at 5/70, however, prevented the outright, batting the rest of the day and finishing on 6/222.

Nick Papachristofilou top scored with 73 before being run out, while Jon Plakourakis helped himself to 57.

Dromana dropped to the bottom of the ladder after losing to Skye.

Defending 227, Skye had to work hard early to get wickets but once the top four were gone, the rest fell cheaply, netting just 37 runs between them.

Mark Whitehead top scored for the Hoppers with 33.

Paul Fillipone was superb for Skye, grabbing 6/47 from 20 overs.

Balnarring got the 12 points and now sit comfortably in fourth place on the ladder after a strong victory against Tyabb.

Chasing 193 for victory, the Yabbies were bowled out for 158.

Jacob Cook was the man who did all the damage for the Saints, picking-up a career-best 8/37.

Eyes on a catch: Hastings fieldsmen get ready to pounce on a loose Seaford Tigers shot in their District match.

GRAEME POWELL MAZDA FRANKSTON the All-new

M{zd{ 2 has arrived! arrived! d!

Open ay d n u S to 10amM 5p

Re-imagined from the ground up, and integrating the elegant lines of Mazda’s award-winning ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language and innovative SKYACTIV Technology, All New Mazda2 has more power yet is more fuel efficient, offers unequalled styling, and is better connected than any of its predecessors.

Corolla reveals its ‘dark’ side AUSTRALIA’S best-selling car, Toyota Corolla, has struck an edgy new pose with a value-added special-edition model dubbed the RZ. Corolla RZ reveals a stylish “dark” side with a range of black treatments for the wheels, grille, bumpers, mirrors and rear garnish.

But the news is all bright for customers as the special-edition model offers $2,000 of added features for just $1,000 above the Ascent Sport hatch on which it is based.

The RZ arrives with the Corolla nameplate having topped local sales charts in seven months this year, giving it an overall lead of just over 900 vehicles to the end of October. Corolla was Australia’s best-selling car in 2013.

Added equipment for the Corolla RZ starts with the convenience of satellite navigation with maps accessible on the audio system’s 6.1-inch touch-screen display, along with vision from the already-standard reversing camera.

The interior also gains “RZ” branded mats for the driver and front passenger, along with Corolla hatch regulars including six-speaker audio, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, air-conditioning and seatbelt warning alarm for all five seats.

Looks really count on the outside – and this is where Toyota has enhanced the sporty stance of the hatch with eye-catching black detailing.

Most impressive are the racy 16-inch black gloss alloy wheels that are matched with black caps bearing the Toyota emblem.

The car’s revised front also displays a subtle

mean streak with the black hero colour being used to surround the Toyota emblem in the upper grille. Black is also the colour of choice for the front bumper mouldings and the leading edge at the bottom of the trapezoidal lower grille.

The dark theme continues at the rear with black used for a new garnish below the hatch glass and for the rear bumper moulding.

The six available exterior colours are all optional paints included in the price. The Corolla RZ is distinguished with decals at the front, rear and along the lower edge of the side doors.

The black decals feature silver highlights on cars with Wildfire (red), Inferno (orange) and Tidal Blue exterior metallic paints while the highlights are orange for cars painted in Crystal Pearl, Silver Pearl and Positano Bronze.

The RZ, like every Corolla, comes with seven airbags, vehicle stability and traction control, anti-skid brakes and the maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating.

Corolla RZ’s 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine develops 103kW and is mated to a sixspeed manual gearbox or a MultiDrive S-CVT automatic transmission that also provides a sequential seven-speed Sport mode.

The special-edition model is covered by Toyota Service Advantage with the same capped price deal as other Corolla variants – $130 for each of up to six scheduled logbook services in the first three years or 60,000km.
