BEAT THE PEAK TO BRING ROAD DEATHS DOWN! Keep Sunday 8th November free so you can ‘beat the peak to bring road deaths down’. Join more than 2,000 people as they tackle The Arthurs Seat Challenge, a 6.7km sea to summit fun-run starting at the Rosebud Pier and finishing at the top of Arthurs Seat, Seawinds Gardens. The Arthurs Seat Challenge is a renowned local event, held at one of the most iconic locations on the Mornington Peninsula. The Challenge aims to promote the profile of Fit2Drive (F2D), a best practice road safety education program with event proceeds supporting the implementation of the program at secondary schools across the Mornington Peninsula, Westernport and Frankston areas.

According to the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), in 2014, 21 per cent of drivers killed were aged between 18 and 25 years, however, this age group represents only around 14 per cent of Victorian licence holders. Although this is the lowest proportion of young drivers killed since 1987 (down from 110 deaths to 24), the fact still remains that our young people are 30 times more likely to crash when they start driving on their P-plates. Research also shows that the majority of these incidents are preventable.

Young drivers are inexperienced and often make poor decisions, with some crashes attributed to high risk factors such as speed, alcohol and distractions linked to the presence of multiple passengers. In comparison to more experienced drivers, 18-25 year olds are three times more likely to be killed in a car crash. One way to change this is to provide good practice and relevant road safety education in schools.

F2D is a distinctive road safety program that focuses on changing attitudes and behaviours in Year 11 students with trained university undergraduates in a half-day program to help young local drivers and passengers develop strategies to deal with risky situations. Originally established for schools in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula area, F2D is now delivered to more than 200 secondary education providers across Victoria. The F2D program is run with the support of many community groups, the TAC, Victoria Police, VicRoads, RACV and the Department of Education and Training, and reaches some 30,000 young people annually, 4,000 of whom come from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

The program emulates the philosophy that it is essential to enable and encourage young people to explore and accept challenges but also to take ownership and responsibility for their own and their peers’ safety. At the heart of F2D is the Arthurs Seat Challenge, which is an opportunity for schools, families and the local community to rally together and raise awareness of the over-representation of young people in road crashes in the hope we can alleviate the pain road trauma causes schools and local communities.

This year we invite you to ‘run UP the hill to bring road deaths DOWN’, in direct support of the TAC’s Safer P-Plater Campaign ‘getting through the red’.

Registrations are now open at www.arthursseatchallenge. com.au and you can follow us on Facebook www. facebook.com/ArthursSeatChallenge.

Elly Jackson Junior Female Champion 2014

Sea to Summit Success in 2015 Last year’s race was one for breaking records, with more than 2000 participants taking part in the most successful Arthurs Seat Challenge to date.

The course of 6.7km started at the Rosebud Jetty and finished at the summit of Arthurs Seat at Seawinds Gardens. Event Ambassador and Commonwealth Games Marathon Runner, Sarah Klein, fired the starter’s gun as people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels took off on the challenging course. Funds raised from the success of the 2014 event will provide even greater support to schools in meeting the cost of every Fit 2 Drive workshop held at all secondary schools on the Mornington Peninsula, Westernport and Frankston areas for the coming year.

The first runner over the line was Craig Appleby, our new record holder, glided across the line in 25 minutes and 15 seconds. Coming in second was Cameron Hall followed by Nathan Barry, who led the pack early in the race to snaffle third place. Our first female placegetter Rebecca Rosel looked strong as she charged up the hill, crossing the line with a smile and a time of 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Twins, Elly and Sarah Jackson took second and third place for the women’s overall with times of 30 minutes 30 seconds and 30 minutes 59 seconds respectively, which also won them first and second place Junior Females. Other noteworthy efforts include Liam Hemingway our Under 18 Male Champion, followed closely by Brodie Lynch who again took out the title of Under 15 Male Champion.

The weather was perfect for running or walking up the steep summit, which at its peak has a whopping 9.5% gradient and the climb itself is over 3km. Our long-time supporters, parliamentarians Mr Greg Hunt and Mr Martin Dixon even found themselves running PBs! Our major sponsors all had teams participating with large contingents from Bluescope Steel, Bendigo Bank, and Nicholas Lynch Real Estate who took out the title for Largest Community Team with over 200 in their ranks, which also helped them clinch the trophy for Fastest Team up the mountain. The School Group Winners were Elisabeth Murdoch College.

Competitors were red-faced and at times, out of breath, but there was a great sense of comradery and sportsmanship on show, even between those more serious and competitive runners. Generous help from our volunteer support crew was also invaluable and we thank our local schools and organisations like Sorrento SES and Rotary, Langwarrin Men’s Shed and the Southern Peninsula Classic and Historic Car Club for their tireless help on race day. The Arthurs Seat Challenge is a wonderful annual event, especially for families, schools and sporting groups to come together and raise community awareness about the overrepresentation of young people in road crashes. We look forward to 2015 and hope to see even more people running UP the hill to bring road deaths DOWN. Registrations are now open at www.arthursseatchallenge.com.au

Bouquet delight THE peninsula branch of the National Trust celebrated its 30th birthday last week at historic Beleura House in Mornington.

Professor Simon Molesworth, who was with the Victorian branch in various top roles between 1980 and 2005, told The News the branch was founded when Point Nepean and Greens Bush were under threat from development, and historic properties such as Blairgowrie House, McCrae Homestead, Mulberry Hill, and The Briars Park needed support.

Joining branch members to mark the occasion was the CEO of National Trust Victoria Martin Purslow, shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb, and Linda Morris representing Mornington MP David Morris.

New projects from budget savings Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has saved almost $700,000 by putting its insurance out to tender rather than staying with MAV Insurance, a company associated with the Municipal Association of Victoria, the peak body of local government.

The windfall was revealed last Wednesday when councillors approved the

budget for 2014-15 with its expected rate increase of 5.9 per cent and no change to the municipal charge of $180, which ratepayer groups claim is a regressive fee as all ratepayers have to pay it whether they own property in Portsea and Flinders or Rosebud and Hastings.

The shire had allocated almost $1.5 million for insurance in its draft budget but will now pay $767,000, a saving of $690,230. The insurance change was driven by new CEO Carl Cowie and

enabled the council to add 10 items to its budget totalling $600,000 that came as a direct result of lobbying by residents and groups during the budget draft period since late April.

One addition bound to generate controversy is $50,000 to Peninsula Aero Club for construction of an access road from Stuart Rd, Tyabb, “to improve the capacity of the airport to manage and support emergencies more efficiently and safely, subject to permits

if required”. The club’s Tyabb airfield has been under pressure from some ratepayers for many years due to safety and operational concerns.

Other items added to the budget last week are $350,000 for construction of the unmade car park at Currawong Community Centre in Mornington, $15,000 for a music bursary program, $32,500 for the shire’s Arts and Culture Strategy, $15,500 toward an “all abilities” boardwalk at Point Leo

Beach, $20,000 for continued sponsorship of Mornington Peninsula Tennis International tournament, $24,000 for CCTV cameras in Rye business precinct, $30,000 for Annie Sage precinct in Somerville, $50,000 to investigate cliff erosion stability measures at Tassells Beach, Safety Beach, and $15,000 toward a “fruitgrowing machinery display shed” at Fruitgrowers Reserve, Somerville.

Conference calls for council trio Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au THREE Mornington Peninsula Shire representatives headed to Canberra this month for the National General Assembly hosted by the Australian Local Government Association.

Mayor Cr Bev Colomb, deputy mayor Cr Graham Pittock and Cr Hugh Fraser attended the three-day annual conference for council delegates from across the nation on 1417 June.

Cr Colomb described the yearly meeting as “a great opportunity” for council to meet federal government ministers and their staff to highlight challenges faced by the Mornington Peninsula community.

“It is also a great opportunity to gain a better understanding of potential funding sources for local government going forward, to discuss opportunities for closer partnerships on important initiatives and to form strong working relationships for future project proposals.”

Councillors met with an adviser to Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull to push for improved mobile phone coverage in “black spots” on the peninsula, especially with regards to emergency management.

Council also lobbied for the National Broadband Network to be rolled out quickly across the peninsula to support businesses and en-

courage jobs creation.

The possibility of outreach arts programs to complement the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery was raised with Executive Director of the Ministry for the Arts Sally Basser.

Cr Colomb said: “I was also was privileged to hear Rosie Batty, family violence campaigner, Australia of the Year and proud peninsula resident, address the National Government Assembly in Canberra.

“The Luke Batty Foundation has now launched the Never Alone campaign to stand with the women and children affected by family violence so that they are supported in the community and have a powerful voice in the corridors of power.”

Deputy Prime Minister and Infrastructure and Regional Development Minister Warren Truss addressed the assembly delegates and federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt was also among the speakers.

The cost to have the three Shire representatives attend the assembly was $7028, in the same financial ballpark as neighbouring southeast councils Frankston and Kingston who spent $7617 and $7682 respectively on travel and accommodation to send three representatives each to Canberra.

“It’s a very small cost relative to the opportunities it presents for our Shire,” Cr Colomb said.

A bloomin’ marvellous award MORNINGTON Botanical Rose Gardens’ volunteers can take a bow.

Their efforts have been acknowledged by an Award of Garden Excellence from judges at the 17th World Rose Convention in Lyon, France.

The 39 members of the World Federation of Rose Societies have confirmed that, while there are many wonderful rose gardens around the world, some are truly exceptional from a historical, educational and/or visual point of view. One of them is at Mornington.

From 1995, the World Federation of Rose Societies has recognised the best of these outstanding rose gardens for the award. Of the three recipients in Australia all are in Victoria: the State

Rose Garden at Werribee, Morwell Centenary Rose Garden and the Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens.

Volunteers from Mornington attended the presentation and received a certificate. A plaque is being made in Italy to be presented at the gardens in spring when blooms are plentiful.

Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens were nominated by Australian Rose Society past president Ian Spriggs three years ago. In that time, it has been assessed by experts from the Victorian and Australian rose societies and their presentation forwarded to France to be voted upon at the conference.

“Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens are managed and maintained by volunteers who are to be congratu-

lated for their efforts in achieving this prestigious award,” volunteer, committee member and assistant treasurer Graeme Dent said. “Many thanks also must go to everyone who has sponsored and/or assisted the MBRG Inc. over the years.”

Mornington Rose Gardens are in the Civic Reserve, corner of Dunns Rd and Mornington-Tyabb Rd. They are seven days a week and admission is free to the public.

A pruning weekend will be held on 11-12 July. Free pruning demonstrations will be held at 11am and 2pm on both days. New volunteers are welcome to join the team.

Skylift turns in a bright sky blue David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au

Green light: Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have given the go ahead to blue gondolas being used by the Arthurs Seat Skylift.

cated that the gondola colour shown in the council agenda was rich in the cyan range, whereas Pantone Process Blue is predominantly blue.

One colour grouping indicated that the gondola colour’s closest match was named “Freefall”. A complementary colour was “Into The Blue”.

Members of the community group Save Our Seat present at the meeting disapproved the colour and were upset

that the matter was not being decided as VCAT had ordered.

“We will be seeking legal advice about whether the council decision is sound and may apply to VCAT if there are sufficient grounds to challenge it,” spokeswoman Alison Laird said after the meeting.

“The colour ... is completely inappropriate for the natural and cultural context of Arthurs Seat and is a bizarre

choice more suited to commercial signage,” she said.

“It will stand out like a sore thumb, so that Skylift can advertise its own existence to would-be patrons.”

Local state MP Martin Dixon hailed the meeting’s result. It was an “important milestone”, he said in a statement, with Skylift clearing its last hurdle.

“Council had asked the Skylift consortium to come back to them with a

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors last week agreed to the Skylift gondolas at Arthurs Seat being painted a bright blue.

Cr Tim Wood, a retired County Court judge, argued that councillors had “no jurisdiction” to deal with the matter because they had not been provided with the colour and texture schedule as directed by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Other councillors at the 22 June meeting said the colour depicted in illustrations that Skylift supplied was not named and that it did not, as VCAT required, “complement the natural landscape”.

Councillors favouring the colour said it would blend with or complement the Arthurs Seat escarpment. Cr David Garnock said it would “blend beautifully with the sky if you’re looking up”.

“Complement” is defined in the Macquarie Dictionary as “that which completes or makes perfect”.

The colour of the gondolas was the main sticking point for councillors in approving the final conditions for the $18 million project. With the vote locked at five-all, mayor and meeting chair Bev Colomb used her casting vote to approve Skylift. Cr Graham Pittock was absent overseas.

The only formal description of the colour came when Skylift proponents at the meeting were asked to name it. They responded: “Pantone Process Blue.”

Research done by this writer indi-

gondola colour from the green, grey or blue palette and last Monday night council voted to accept an environmentally sensitive sky blue,” his statement read.

Mr Dixon described the colour as “a minor issue”.

It was important to grasp that “the colour of the gondola will have zero impact on the positive benefits the Skylift project will bring to the wider tourism industry and the resultant future jobs growth for the Mornington Peninsula.”

With no further legal impediments, it was “now incumbent on council to move quickly in their assessment of remaining conditions and ensure this project can commence as quickly as possible.”

Cr David Gibb said the project should go ahead, with no more attempts to impede it. He echoed Mr Dixon’s sentiments about the economic and social values of the project, saying the development would be of local, state and national significance and would provide work for locals in the construction and operating phases.

Cr Hugh Fraser was among councillors critical of the colour not meeting the council’s stated requirement for a range “compatible with the Australian landscape”.

“What’s been produced is what one might call an iridescent blue,” he said, adding that “the applicant knows the appropriate range of colours … it is up to the applicant to bring forward [that] range.”

An amendment he moved to oppose the colour was defeated.

BUY DIRECT Insurance saving yields & SAVE! car park for Currawong THE insurance savings in the budget have allowed Mornington Peninsula Shire to bring forward the sealing of the unmade car park at Currawong Community Centre in Mornington.

The car park is number one on the shire’s list of 250 unmade car parks, revealed in late May when councillors adopted the Unmade car park construction strategy.

The multi-building Currawong centre is home to more than 1000 University of the Third Age (U3A) members who use it every weekday.

Also using the centre are two church groups, two programs that provide meals for children, and community groups that hire the hall.

U3A president Tom Jeavons led the effort to lobby for the car park to be sealed, making a submission during the shire’s two-month budget process. He told the council about the risk of injury to visitors in the high-use car park. The number of U3A members had doubled in recent times, and some members had disabilities.

The car park was also used by the nearby preschool for pick-up and drop-off as well as the maternal and child health centre.

Ross Gregory, the shire’s team leader of infrastructure planning and policy, commented after Mr Jeavons’s submission: “The council adopted the Unmade car park construction strategy on 25 May. This car park is the top priority in the strategy given the high usage level that it receives and

the access needs of the key users groups.

“Funding has not been included in the proposed 2015-16 budget due to the strategy not being adopted at the time of preparation of the budget. It will again be put forward for the 201617 budget.”

Councillors reversed the decision last week.

U3A vice-president Jan Oliver said the group was pleased the council had found money to seal the car park. She said the U3A lobbying effort had been supported by Cr Anne Shaw.

“It is difficult for many people to negotiate the car park, especially in winter,” she said. “The pot holes are huge and there have been some nasty falls.”

She said the car park was used by many people with disabilities including children.

The Currawong Community Centre precinct has historic buildings that were once part of a property called Tanti, which was started in the 1841 and became part of Grigg’s Tanti Sheep Farm from 1937 to 1956.

The farm was bought by the Housing Commission in 1964 but the Shire of Mornington retained the farm buildings for a community centre. New buildings have been added over the years and old ones restored.

Number two on the unmade car park list is John Butler Reserve in Mt Eliza.

Savings pay for new projects Continued from Page 1 Last Friday, the mayor Cr Bev Colomb issued a statement saying “our rates continue to be among the lowest in the state”.

She said the budget was “based on extensive community consultation, and while not all projects can be included, I am confident the budget supports our community’s needs and aspirations and delivers on council’s priorities over the next 12 months and beyond”.

Cr Colomb said the budget would protect and improve the “liveability of our towns and villages”; enhance “the coastal experience”; provide “new and refurbished community infrastructure, buildings and open space”; reduce “the shire’s and community’s carbon footprint” and protect the natural environment; and support a “healthy, safe and connected community”.

She said the council was focused on “eliminating debt that does not fund activities with longterm benefit to ensure that it is in a position to leverage income to meet future challenges including long-term community needs and aspirations, as well as present and future funding changes from

federal and state governments, the introduction of rate capping and future ‘calls’ on the Local Authorities Superannuation Fund.

The super fund has cost the shire more than $17 million in the past 12 years including $10.8 million borrowed in 2013. The statewide shortfall of about $400 million was partly due to the global financial crisis and the fund under-estimating the length of time beneficiaries were living after retirement. The super plan for local government employees was a compulsory scheme from 1982.

It was closed to new members in 1993.

Cr Colomb said the budget contained $200,000 to start “the journey towards carbon neutrality, and will continue with a range of energy-saving initiatives across shire and community buildings”.

There would be $4 million under the Safer Local Roads program and more than $3 million for new and refurbished footpaths. About $2 million would be spent on “protection of bushland and fire prevention works”.

The budget is due to go on the shire’s website this week.

Fired up over raku RAKU firing is a hot topic for a group ceramic artists at Rye. Raku – meaning "enjoyment" – was practiced in Kyoto, Japan, as far back as the 16th century. Vessels produced were used in the Japanese tea ceremony, most often as tea bowls.

Artist Sue Sanderson said raku firing was one of the most exciting processes in ceramics. “Pots are placed in the kiln, the firing commenced and anticipation grows for that moment when the glazes begin to melt in the intense heat.

“The pots are then quickly removed from the kiln – red and molten – and placed in bins full of paper and sawdust.

This is the next step in achieving the wonderful glaze effects.

“After about 30 minutes they are removed from the bins and placed in water.

This thermal shock gives the pots that unique raku character. We now use this old and traditional process on contemporary ceramics.”

The artists will show off their raku exhibits at Antipodes Gallery, 138 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento, from 17 July-2 August.

‘Restaurant’ disappears as shire steps in

Flag, art show for NAIDOC Week

THE word “restaurant” has disappeared from the website of a Red Hill business that may have breached Green Wedge planning regulations.

Mornington Peninsula Shire officers last month recommended councillors seek an enforcement order from the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) against the Green Olive of Red Hill for not complying with its operating permit.

Environment protection and community safety manager Claire Smith last week no complaints had been received about any other restaurants.

The Green Olive is on a 10 hectare block and under the planning regulations no restaurant can operate on land under 40 hectares.

In 2008 owners Sue and Greg O’Donohue were granted a permit for “primary produce sales” and “manufacturing sales” after presenting plans that showed a small sales counter and tasting area in an existing shed.

Council officers say Green Olive now offers “a substantive menu of food and drink” prepared by two chefs in a commercial-sized kitchen served in an area equipped with 80 chairs.

It also runs cooking classes, has a large dry store and has “drastically modified” the internal layout of the endorsed plans.

Mr O’Donohue earlier this month told The News that he and wife did not run a restaurant.

At that time the Green Olive website referred to food and wine served at its “farm shop” as well as the following: “On a visit to our Farm Shop and Restaurant at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula you can enjoy coffee from beans roasted on site, savour the smell of our herbs and spices as they roast, enjoy our homemade sausages or tapas dishes and even take a small taste of our farm home with you.”

The popular tripadvisor website says it is “#2 of 6 restaurants” in Main Ridge.

NAIDOC Week will be celebrated at the shire’s Hastings office on Monday with a flag raising ceremony and opening of an Indigenous art show.

The national NAIDOC theme this year is We all Stand on Sacred Ground: Learn, Respect and Celebrate, which highlights Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s strong spiritual and cultural connection to land and sea.

The event is held nationally in the first week of July to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and achievements.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the week was an opportunity to recognise the contributions that Indigenous Australians make to our country and community.

“I acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first Australians, and recognise that the Mornington Peninsula is home to the Boonwurrung/Bunurong, members of the Kulin Nation, who have lived here for thousands of years and who have traditional connections and responsibilities to the land on which council meets,” she said.

“I encourage everyone to participate in the activities that take place during NAIDOC Week, and invite our community to join us at the Hastings office on July 6.”

The celebration will include a didgeridoo performance, traditional Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony performed by elder Carolyn Briggs, a flag raising ceremony and opening of the exhibition that will feature art from local Indigenous artists. Activities start at 3.30pm at the offices in Marine Pd.

The visitmorningtonpeninsula website, the “official” website of the Mornington Peninsula, carries the following first-person description: “At Green Olive at Red Hill. … Our restaurant is located in the middle of our farm so we have plenty of outdoor space for the children to run around, away from the busy roads.”

Within days of The News publishing details of the confidential briefing to councillors the word “restaurant” had been replaced by “farmshop” on the Green Olive and visitmorningtonpeninsula websites.

Ms Smith last week said council in recent years had approached “a small number of restaurants” in the Green Wedge over noise from functions and or operating hours.

“Each of these matters were able to be resolved without the need for formal action,” she said.

Action had been taken against a business at 1175 Mornington-Flinders Rd, Red Hill “in relation to various activities occurring on the land”.

“The main activity of concern was the sale of packaged liquor and the interpretation of various planning permits issued on the land over the years,” Ms Smith said.

“The land [occupied by Noels Gallery Bar and Restaurant] had a planning permit issued in 1994 allowing for the use of ‘tea rooms’ for up to 30 people to operate only in association with ‘art exhibitions’ (essentially a restaurant).

“The Tribunal found that the sale of packaged liquor was a prohibited land use and they also found that there was an anomaly in the planning permit that required rectification for the ‘tea rooms’ to continue.

“This was not an enforcement proceeding, and the landowner ceased the sale of packaged liquor following the hearing.”

Keith Platt

Update: Screen grabs taken from the Green Olive of Red Hill website show how the text has been changed, replacing “restaurant” with “farmshop”. A similar change has happened on the visitmorningtonpeninsula website.

MP claims Labor plans ‘toxic dump’ at Hastings Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess is predicting a dark future for Hastings because of the state government’s decision to increasingly use Western Port as a “bulk” port.

The scaled-down Port of Hastings Development Authority has swung its focus from preparing for a container port to promoting its use for bulk products, such as LNG (liquefied natural gas), petroleum products and brown coal.

Hastings is already used to import and export petroleum and gas products and Mr Burgess accuses the government of having “secret plans” that will lead to Western Port being “a toxic dumping ground”, damaging lifestyles and cutting property values Ports Minister Luke Donnellan last month said he expects the PoHDA “to chase opportunities in bulk to continue to grow the port down there”.

“There are enormous opportunities, obviously, in relation to storage of petroleum, because we are importing so much petroleum now,” Mr Donnellan told the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee on 22 May. “I would also like to see [the PoHDA] look at chasing down business in the energy sector, because the Latrobe Valley has enormous brown coal deposits, gas and so forth.

“I would really like to see the port of Hastings grow very quickly, because potentially that is the appropriate port to bring things in and out of. That is really where we are up to with the port of Hastings.”

Mr Donnellan said there was no need to rush into making a decision on where to a new container port as “we probably would not need a second port until about 2045, maybe beyond”.

He said Infrastructure Victoria – to be established next year – would investigate if Bay West, in Port Phillip, or Hastings was the best site for a second port “The west has enormous advantages in relation to regional rail and major highways, whereas Hastings has enormous advantage in relation to a deep sea port. But the problem with Hastings is it does not have the road and the rail links,” he said.

“I do not think either particular option is easy. I think we really need a thorough and rigorous analysis by Infrastructure Victoria — by economists, transport planners and the like — to actually get it right.

“I think we need to, as much as we can, put it into an independent entity to do it, not to put it into the hands of politicians.”

With Hasting effectively out of the picture for a container port for at least a further 30 years, Mr Burgess has accused the state government of having

“secret plans” for Hastings.

“Mr Donnellan stated that Labor will use the Port of Hastings for shipping brown coal,” Mr Burgess has told The News.

He says the brown coal will be piped as slurry to a “drying plant” at Hastings.

Mr Burgess said the coal industry had unsuccessfully “pushed and pushed” for the previous Liberal/National government to back the project.

“We said no, but I don’t think people understand what bulk means,” he said.

“There was no mention of Labor’s plan to use Western Port as a toxic dumping ground during the election.

“The Brumby government planned to turn Hastings into a bulk port for coal, bitumen and urea and, when it lost government, it had already given Boral the go ahead to build a bitumen plant on the foreshore at Crib Point.”

Mr Burgess said the bitumen plant “was only stopped when the Coalition was elected in November 2010”.

The decision to not go ahead with a container port at Hastings meant “many thousands of jobs” had been lost to the area.

“If Labor succeeds in turning Western Port into its toxic dumping ground, our local amenity and life style will be permanently damaged, property values will be slashed, businesses will be ruined and tourists will turn away from our part of the peninsula in their droves.”

Making a point: Hastings MP Neale Burgess, left, and former ports minister David Hodgett last week accused the labor state government of abandonning a container port in favour of bringing “toxic” industries to Hastings. Picture: Gary Sissons

Dramas of all sorts occupy councillors

By David Harrison Venue: Hastings Hub, 22 June 2015.

Fine buffet, but spartan for the discerning vegetarian, with carnivores far more generously catered for. A restrained dessert; sugar addicts could fall back on soft drink. A dearth of orange juice.

THIS being Cerberus ward’s turn to host what is now its sole annual community meeting, parish news was to the fore. There was a big footpath scheme for Somers, good news on the Stony Point rail line’s level crossings, bad news on hoon motorbikes in Hastings (they’re getting worse) and more good news on the Warringine boardwalk.

The popular boardwalk, destroyed in last summer’s bushfire, will be rebuilt with an eye to further such events, sectioned by non-flammable material to limit damage. Harder to control will be the wildlife that is already repopulating the blackened area.

Councillors were told the sighting

of a rare swamp daisy had brought delight to a ranger, who hastened to bring colleagues back to see it.

Alas, by the time they returned the plant was gone. Around the site were telltale wallaby tracks – small ones, indicating at least a joey had survived the blaze.

So, many such rare plants are being encased in joey-proof wire, in an effort to prevent the protected from eating the endangered.

From there to a small drama in Question Time, when gallery stalwart Barry Robinson, once-branded a “pest” and banned from asking questions about Pelican Park, was seeking information about the shire budget.

A sudden tumult occurred in the vicinity of Cr Lynn Bowden as the question was asked. People were hurrying to her aid. CEO Carl Cowie

announced gravely that a serious table collapse was occurring: a trestle leg had failed. As the matter was attended to, Mr Cowie quipped that the gallery could now see that shire “will do virtually anything to avoid answering Barry’s questions”.

Discontent about the 5.2-kilometre $1.5 million Somers footpath-boardwalk plan was raised in a question from Del Skinner, who queried whether the scope of the project “is excessive for this rural coastal village”. Half the bill is paid by property owners past whose fences the path passes.

CW calculates the works will cost $288.48 a metre, give or take a couple of cents. Infrastructure director Alison Leighton poured bureaucratic oil on the troubled waters – there could be a range of views in a community on such projects, statutory processes to be followed, and so on.

Questioner Roger Stanley of Crib Point was assured by Cr Anne Shaw of the Mornington Peninsula Cemetery Trust committee that there were

“absolutely” no plans for a crematorium on the peninsula “at this stage” but the trust was creating a business plan where “a number of things will be considered”.

Dog excreta was the topic David Lines of Tyabb raised, particularly the alleged – CW must take legal care – lack of shire response to his proposal that “dispenser units” be installed at leash-free beaches across the shire for canine waste collection.

Mr Cowie said he recollected telling Mr Lines at a recent meeting that “this was seen as a very expensive option and not something we were going to look into at this stage, beyond what we have already done, notwithstanding that it is a sensible proposal”.

Which was a timely reminder to dog owners to clean up after their pooches.

CW, whose large curly part-poodle Henry is a prodigiously efficient converter of dog food to waste, must be closely watched when dashing around with his friends.

Then, two questions on possible bushfire threats to the Arthurs Seat

Skylift. Skylift company leaders Simon McKeon and Hans Brugman were in the gallery to witness final councillor approval of their plans for this tourist attraction.

The questioners were assured that “all emergency plans will satisfactorily address the operational delivery of emergency services to the site”.

Beautiful bureaucratese.

Finally, CW wishes to record a vigorous exchange between Cr Tim Rodgers and the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb. Cr Rodgers wanted to ask a question. He persevered with his request. Meeting chair Colomb told him a “process” was being followed and it did not include questions.

Still he persisted: her brow darkened. She suggested he might remove himself from the meeting.

Then, in a tone CW could vividly recall from combat with his mother in early childhood, the chair ticked off Cr Rodgers. CW was most impressed, as apparently was Cr Rodgers. He desisted. The chair, as it must, held sway. The “process” resumed.

Staying strong on heritage for 30 years Toast to 30 years: Former National Trust peninsula branch president Peter Holloway, left, shire mayor Bev Colomb, National Trust Victoria CEO Martin Purslow, current branch president Judy Walsh and former National Trust Victoria chairman Simon Molesworth get set to toast the peninsula branch’s 30th anniversary at Beleura House last week.

Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au PRESERVATION of the peninsula’s natural and built environment is as important as ever, environmental law pioneer and former National Trust stalwart Simon Molesworth told about 70 people at Beleura House in Mornington last Thursday.

Professor Molesworth, now chairman of the International National Trusts Organisation, was one of several speakers at the 30th birthday of the Mornington Peninsula branch of the trust. The Victorian branch was formed in 1956.

Brandishing a fistful of papers, Professor Molesworth told the audience he was holding his notes from the speech he made when the branch was formed at The Briars Park in Mt Martha on 21 June 1985, found in his garage at 2.30 that morning.

“When we started the peninsula branch, there was much to fight for and preserve, and it’s terrific to see the branch remains strong, lobbying to preserve both the natural environment and historic places – all the things we care about – for our children and grandchildren,” he said.

It was a call to arms to continue resisting the pressure of inappropriate

development. “Members should continue to hold strong views and push those views,” he said.

Professor Molesworth said early battles were fought over Sullivans Cove in Sorrento (Victoria’s first settlement site in 1803; still under pressure from development), Greens Bush at Main Ridge (now part of Mornington Peninsula National Park), and Point Nepean, which could have ended up as housing development but is now also part of the national park.

He said it was vital to have good relationships with governments and recalled that the late Alan Hunt – a Mornington resident, state MP for 31 years and creator of Melbourne’s green wedges with then Premier Dick Hamer – attended the foundation

meeting at The Briars and supported the branch’s formation.

“The notes I made 30 years ago are still relevant – the branch always needs members, we should continue to seek new classifications to protect places, and we should go for the best; save the places that are most important.”

Professor Molesworth said members were the “eyes and ears” of the National Trust: “They know what’s at risk.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the trust had worked with shire heritage planners for many years including former planners Peter Brown and Simon Lloyd, and current planner Dale Kelly as well as heritage advisers Helen

Lardner and Lorraine Huddle.

The shire and trust had jointly presented the Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards since 2011, she said.

The trust had supported the shire at planning hearings. “The branch has made a great contribution to the peninsula’s unique appeal and I congratulate you all for your past endeavours,” Cr Colomb said.

National Trust (Victoria) CEO Martin Purslow, who came from the United Kingdom to lead the trust a decade ago and has been living on the peninsula for five years, said there were 5.5 million National Trust members around the world. The Victorian branch had 120 staff and 500 volunteers, not counting branches like the peninsula’s.

Other speakers were former branch president Peter Holloway and current president Judy Walsh, who named branch stalwarts including Dorothy Houghton (who lead the fight to save Sullivans Cove), historian and naturalist Winty Calder (whose latest book A journey along Balcombe Creek was launched last month), Shirley Davies of Hastings–Western Port Historical Society (who led the refurbishment of Sages Cottage), and Gillian Tolley (Endeavour Fern Gully at Red Hill), all of whom were at the

Ms Walsh said other branch activities had included helping preserve Devilbend Reservoir, Mt Eliza’s Woodland precinct, Ranelagh Estate in Mt Eliza, and St Macartan’s school in Mornington, which became a mixture of new homes and apartments in the heritage two-storey school block. She thanked Anthony Knight, director and trustee of Beleura House and Garden, for hosting the 30th.

After speeches, light lunch and tours of the house and garden, pianist Alan Kogosowski and singer Galit Klas delighted attendees with a recital of works by Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt in the Tallis Pavilion, Kogosowski dazzling on one of Beleura’s two 102-key Stuart & Sons Huon pine grand pianos, and Klas bringing tears to many eyes with her final song, a stirring rendition of Edith Piaf’s signature song Non, je ne regrette rien (No, I regret nothing).  National Trust Mornington Peninsula branch, phone 5988 9853.

FREE EVENT Event Organiser Seminar Featuring guest speaker Patrick Moriarty “Unlocking the secrets of successful fundraising”

Toasting success: Karen Setches shows off her certificate and bottle of wine after winning the Bendigo branch’s $10,000 prize.

Bank calls with good news A PHONE call from the bank manager is often nothing to laugh about, but for one lucky Mt Martha woman that’s exactly what it turned out to be.

When Mt Martha Community Bank branch manager Thomas Brown called to tell Karen Setches she had won $10,000 after buying an insurance policy, she was looking for the funny side.

“I have a neighbour who’s a bit of a prankster who’s caught me out before, so I wasn’t quite sure,” she said. “But, then, when I heard the celebration in the background at the branch, I knew it was for real.”

Mr Brown was almost as excited as Ms Setches when told his branch had a winner in the bank’s national insurance promotion. He said he had never enjoyed ringing a customer so much.

“The insurance competition has been running

since January and you hope that one of your customers is in it to win it and, when you get the good news, it’s just incredible.”

Ms Setches had bought home and contents cover, giving her the chance to win one of the $10,000 draws.

“It’s been a rough year for me and my children and the first things we did [after winning] was to call into the branch and head to the travel agent to book a celebration holiday,” she said. “It’s long overdue.”

Mr Brown said the branch was thrilled to have a winning customer among the eight draws so far.

“There’s just one more chance for customers to also get that winning feeling,” he said.

Customers who take out a home and contents or landlord’s policy before 30 June can make the final draw.

Merricks centre first over the line for horses NO doubt it will go unremarked on by horses, but a new equestrian centre at Merricks has overcome all odds and won a major architecture award.

The winner of Sir Osborn McCutcheon Award in the commercial section of this year’s Victorian Architecture Awards, the equestrian centre is both a training centre and stud.

Extensive use of rammed earth and wood is a feature of the curved building designed by Melbourne architects Watson Architecture + Design and Seth Stein Architects, of London.

The Australian Institute of Architects’ said “any tendency to complicate the program or the resultant built form has been resisted, which adds to provide a powerful visitor experience”.

“Detailing has been taken to the next level with bespoke industrial design elements. Ultimately, the building creates a special and unique place for both valuable livestock and visitors.”

The institute also commended Wood Marsh Architecture for the RACV resort at Torquay. The motoring organisation has come under fire for a building of similar design it plans at Cape Schanck, mainly because of its size and impact on the landscape.

The institute describes the Torquay building as “restrained and does not succumb to residential detailing or a preconceived ‘club’ character”.

At St Andrews Beach Villa Marittima, has won an award in the new house category for architect Robin Williams.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital Our patients story - Andy Baker Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 45 year old husband, brother, son, uncle and father of three. I have lived on the Mornington Peninsula for over 10 years with my beautiful family and, until recently, our story was very normal and typical of many other Australian families. Then, in November 2013, I started feeling short of breath following a holiday overseas. By Christmas I was quite unwell and by February I was in hospital requiring 24 hour oxygen supply and undergoing a series of tests and treatments. It became apparent that , KDG VHYHUH RQVHW RI ÂżEURVLV RI WKH lungs, probably triggered by an autoimmune system reaction to bacteria.

Quite rare, and very serious. This was a really frightening time for my family and I. Phrases like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chronic Conditionâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chemotherapyâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminal diseaseâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lung Transplantâ&#x20AC;? began to enter our vocabulary. Four months earlier I had been happily running around enjoying my holiday.

It was after a long period in local hospitals and two spells in ICU that my doctor and I discussed the opportunity to continue my care at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital located in Frankston. I was out of immediate danger but facing a period of life that neither my family nor I were prepared for. I was physically weak, frightened, vulnerable and ill-prepared but determined to survive.

My time as an inpatient at St John of

God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital (SJGFRH) was a real turning point for me. Firstly I had people caring for me physically. Everything at this stage had become quite challenging.

Having very low oxygen production, getting dressed was very hard indeed.

The difference for me came from the support SJGFRH gave me to empower myself and take control of as much of my life as possible. They provided education regarding the medication and treatments I was receiving; advice on oxygen and mobility equipment hire and use plus the assistance from their social work team about the help that was available to me, outside of the hospital. They taught me and helped me to practice techniques to conserve energy whilst doing basic tasks, showed me a routine of exercise which was controlled and safe and ways to monitor my health with methods IRU PDQDJLQJ GLIÂżFXOW VLWXDWLRQV Their pastoral service team provided emotional support which really focused my mind and spirit towards a positive RXWFRPH 0\ OLWWOH GRJ $OÂżH ZDV HYHQ able to come and visit!

When it came time to return home, my ZLIH DQG , IHOW PXFK PRUH FRQÂżGHQW DQG prepared for the next phase. Staff from SJGFRH had already visited my home and all of the equipment had been setup to continue my care at home. What was extra special was that the pulmonary

rehabilitation team had organised for me to continue as an outpatient visiting the hospital twice a week. Here I joined a small group of people enjoying a mix of education and physiotherapy.

Of course the people there became friends too. We all had stories to tell and advice to share. The whole care team continued to be involved right throughout the months that followed.

Even the ladies at the snack kiosk and the particularly special person at reception were engaged personally in my journey and were all part of my whole well-being.

and humbled by the generosity of our community and the people who serve in it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now 8 months later and I am strong, healthy, happy and treasuring life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m back at work and pretty much doing all the things that fathers, husbands, brothers, uncles and sons do.

The medical treatments were not reversing any damage and, in fact, the ÂżEURVLV ZDV VSUHDGLQJ TXLFNO\ 0\ lungs were dying, and we had explored all options except one, a lung transplant.

My case was now being managed by the amazing lung transplant team at The Alfred Hospital. My pre-transplant preparation became a mix of extensive medical testing and monitoring at The Alfred, combined with on-going outpatient programs at SJGFRH. I was wheelchair bound and hardly able to stand, but still enjoying very gentle movement and encouragement in the SJGFRH gym.

Then, I got â&#x20AC;&#x153;the callâ&#x20AC;? in September at 6:30 am. I needed to head straight to Hospital and prepare for immediate double lung transplant. 24 hours later I was awoken, breathing on my own, slightly disoriented and a bit sore but with the realisation that my life had been saved.

Free speech and talking about terrorism

By Andrew Dixon* LAST week’s episode of Q&A on the ABC was a disastrous affair with far-reaching consequences. The media furore that followed is difficult to summarise – a microcosm of our national debate, born of the difficult policy decisions governments make on behalf of their citizens.

It should serve as a reminder to everyone that the right to say and think what we want is easily surrendered to fear.

The performance of Zaky Mallah on the program raised many issues, but the aftermath has been short on answers. Mallah made the shocking claim that Muslims were “justified” in heading overseas to join ISIS. Though acquitted of terrorism charges, the young man was convicted of threatening to kill ASIO agents several years ago. Last Monday he managed to destroy whatever remained of his character with a single sentence, broadcast live around the nation.

More puzzling than the ill-informed comments of an angry young man has been the reaction from members of parliament, most of who identify as Liberal.

Only months ago, they were proclaiming that we “do have the right to be bigots, you know”, but they’ve since launched a barrage of blistering attacks on our right to freedom of speech and association.

The Prime Minister Tony Abbott questioned “whose side” the public broadcaster and our biggest news provider is on, as if it were the job of an inquisitive reporter to back the government of the day. Even Commu-

History lesson: Andrew Dixon, right, learnt much about long standing conflict among Muslim communities after interviewing Imam Syed Wadood Janud at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association’s mosque at Langwarrin. Picture: Cameron McCullough

nications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, seen by some conservatives as patron saint of the “lefty lynch-mob”, emphatically remarked that the ABC’s “error in judgement” was so “very, very grave” as to put the safety of the audience at risk.

Now, I’m not a religious person, and

you’d be forgiven for thinking that a councillor from (quite literally) the whitest municipality in Victoria would have little to contribute to this debate.

But after meeting with one of our local Islamic leaders to write an article for Peninsula Essence magazine, I learnt of the devastation wrought

LETTERS Olive support I have just read the article regarding the proposed legal action against Green Olive at Red Hill (“Planners urge action over eatery permit”, The News 16/6/15). It seems that the only thing Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors are good at is wasting money and hassling the people that keep them employed.

I would have thought that the shire would be encouraging and congratulating the management/owners of Green Olive for what they have achieved in their award winning business, to say nothing of the number of locals that they employ, the use of local produce and the money ploughed back into the area.

The council’s attitude is unbelievable. I was under the impression that the shire wished to encourage tourism, not stand in the way of a business doing its utmost to promote the area to the benefit of all the local residents.

Maree Chrisomalidis, Rye

Olive an asset My wife and I regularly enjoy the food, wine and ambience of the Green Olive at Red Hill.

We continue to be amazed at the quality of the facility that attracts so many tourists to the Mornington Peninsula.

I am absolutely staggered by the article “Planners urge action over eatery permit” (The News 16/6/15), surely it must be realised that this Victorian and Australian award winning venue is an asset to the peninsula while employing many locals.

The article states that the Green Olive is a restaurant. The delightful tapas menu is certainly not restaurant style food but a much lighter variety of small plates and products grown on site.

I would strongly urge the Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors to consider the benefits of the Green Olive to the peninsula and prevent this appalling idea from going any further.

Peter Hardy, Sorrento Editor: As reported by The News, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have been asked if they want to pursue Green Olive of Red Hill

for non-compliance with its original permit.

Officers say the business – which serves food and has seating for up to 80 diners - operates on a 10-hectare block of land. Restaurants are not allowed to operate in the Green Wedge zone where a restaurant cannot be considered on land of less than 40 ha.

Two-way violence It was illuminating to read the letter from Tony Nicholl (“Dads in Distress”, The News 23/6/15) where he pointed out the fact that women perpetrate a lot "family violence" on men as well as the other way around. It is refreshing to see a newspaper publish this side of the story, given that for years all I ever seem to have read on the subject is that almost every other husband is cruel and violent.

Such brainwashing has now caused [the establishment of] a political Family Violence Commission where, presumably, the wisdom of Solomon will be applied to events in the bedroom and private marriages.

It is to be fervently hoped that the outcomes will not be more ways to put men into jail, more intervention orders to kick husbands out of their own homes, prevent reconciliation, ruin careers, ruin lives, and suffer the little children.

For the record, I am an old bloke, married for48 years, happy, and I've seen it all.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Dumbing down After the successful destruction of much of Australia's manufacturing base, our present government's aim is set on the education system.

But it all makes sense, we really don't need any educated people for the future economy of fruit picking and vegetable harvesting for the rich nations to our north.

These nations have of course chosen to educate their people and build their manufacturing and are planning their future in the 21st century with a little more vision than our anti-science government. And our mushroom population keeps these people in power.

upon Muslim communities throughout this long and violent global conflict.

The common thread in such stories is the religious identity of perpetrator and victim – overwhelmingly Muslim against Muslim.

Too often in this country and elsewhere, the terrorist threat is defined as savage barbarism against the peaceful and benign West. Yes, there is a distinctive element of this on display in the social media published by ISIS. It’s an integral part of their public relations campaign, and it works, with the media and our politicians seize on such comments whenever they need attention, guaranteeing ISIS airtime in the mainstream media.

Such behaviour betrays a fundamental ignorance of the greater conflict.

Worse still, the repeated use of phrases like “death cult” and “by hook or by crook” serves only to further alienate disaffected youth who, for whatever reason, already bear a grudge against our federal government or Anglo-centric history.

The language of our national leaders has a real impact on our communities, even more than Mallah’s claim that young Australians are “justified” in joining ISIS because of MP Steve Ciobo’s comments on air. Freedom of speech is easily exercised by anyone, but the need to be responsible with language is so much greater for those who have easy access to broadcast media, and would make laws on our behalf.

Most of the media coverage since Q&A has focused on whether or not it was acceptable for Aunty to allow Mallah a public platform on a flagship

current affairs program. Lost in the scrum is the fundamental right to say what you think, something the federal government was once so keen on defending it was willing to repeal sections of the Racial Discrimination Act. The fact is, radical views will be broadcast one way or another in this age of digital and social media.

Perhaps allowing this would-be terrorist to vent on national television has kick started a larger debate about the price we as a society pay for access to the truth, warts and all.

Perhaps our pollies will acknowledge the public’s level of maturity is an order of magnitude higher than they’ve been willing to give credit for.

Perhaps the prime minister will actually consider the impact of his words on those in minority communities that already feel vulnerable and disenfranchised, and perhaps he’ll open his eyes to the positive role that fighters who voluntarily return from the Middle East could play in educating those who are at risk of making such a life-changing mistake.

More likely are continued attacks on the messenger instead of the message.

Both sides of politics have learnt to use this tactic whenever they find themselves under scrutiny.

So, to deploy it on the issue of national security, is a no-brainer for a conservative government. After all, it’s hard to argue with the boost in poll ratings Abbott receives every time he talks about terrorism. *Andrew Dixon represents Mt Eliza Ward on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

Shaw makes head lines, again Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FORMER Frankston MP Geoff Shaw has re-emerged in a job after politics.

The ex-politician, who became embroiled in numerous high-profile incidents during his at times controversial four-year term as Frankston’s state member of Parliament, has a new role encouraging cover ups.

Mr Shaw is now general manager at Medihair Hair Transplant Clinics in Melbourne.

When contacted by The News a relaxed sounding Mr Shaw said he is “off the public scene now” but has “a few things in the pipeline with some quite credible people”.

He said he is using business contacts to promote the hair transplant specialist’s operations.

When asked whether he would consider using Medihair’s product himself he said he may do in future.

“It’s not wigs or anything like that,” Mr Shaw said.

“It’s actually operational hair transplants [and] yeah, I actually would.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Benjamin Baxter dead at 75 years Compiled by Melissa Walsh WE are compelled to hold over a number of items of news till our next issue, owing to pressure on our space. *** MR Sheridan received the welcome news on Monday, by cable, from his son Percy, from the front, dated June 24th, that he was quite well. *** WE call special attention to an advertisement in another column in connection with the Recruiting movement. It will be seen that energetic action has been taken since the preliminary public meeting was held in Frankston on Monday evening last.

It will be noted also that meetings will be held at Frankston, Wednesday June 7th; Somerville, Thursday June 8th; Hastings, Friday June 9th; at 8 p.m.

The Hon Sec, Dr Plowman, is in correspondence with distinguished Public Men to address the meetings. Sufficient time has not elapsed for replies to have been received from most of them but the services of Sir William Irvine M.P. have been secured for Frankston and of the Hon A. Downward M.L A. for Hastings.

At Frankston, the Frankston Brass Band has kindly given their services to play for the audience and a short programme of Patriotic music has been arranged.

No charge for admission will be made, and it is to be hoped that there will be crowded houses at each meeting. In fact, everyone who has the welfare of his country at heart, or who

is actuated by patriotic feeling should be present at one, or all the meetings.

All letters on the subject should be addressed to the Hon Secretary, Dr Plowman. *** THE Frankston Dramatic Club has consented to give an entertainment for the Somerville Social Club this evening July 3rd. They will produce their comedy “All a mistake”. *** THERE is talk of starting an automobile club in Somerville, the cars in the immediate district numbering nearly a dozen.

Mr Duncan Puckle has just purchased a fine French “Bayard” car, Mr G. Coop a “Maxwell” and Mr Geo Griffith a “Hupmobile”.

There will probably be one or two lady drivers in the club if it is started. *** AN innovation in the Church of England service recently was a gentleman organist, Mr E. A. Dunn, a musician and organist lately resident of Ballarat, but now of Somerville kindly presided. *** MR S. S. Gault has yet another iron in the fire, having decided to stock hardware and up to date implements of all kinds. *** GREAT regret was expressed this week on the news being made public that Mr Stan Clark had been wounded at the Dardanells. He is reported to be in the hospital in Manchester, England. We wish our young hero a

speedy recovery. *** DEATH of Mr B. Baxter. The death of Mr Benjamin Baxter, aged 75 years, on the 30th ultimo, at Frankston, brings hack recollections of the long past.

His father, the late Captain Baxter, was, born in Ireland in 1805, arriving in Melbourne in 1837.

Some of his education was acquired on the Continent, he had up to the time of his death a vivid recollection of the Battle of Waterloo, and distinctly remembered hearing the guns when he was at school in Belgium.

The late Captain Baxter was one of the founders of the Melbourne Club, took part in the first cricket match played in the Colony, at the foot of Batman’s Hill (now Spencer Street Railway Station) on November 12th, 1838, also one of the Directors of the first Pastoral and Agricultural Society, founded in Melbourne in 1840, he was also connected with the first theatrical performance played in Melbourne in 1842.

His first stock yard was erected at Emerald Hill (now South Melbourne.)

It is also a matter of further interest that the late Benjamin Baxter’s mother was the first Postmistress in Melbourne, and shipped the first mails to London without consulting the authorities in Sydney.

Mr Baxter was born in Batman House, Batman’s Hill, in 1840. Subsequently the family removed to the Frankston district, well known as Baxter’s Flat. He was connected with local

shire council for many years, retiring a few years ago on account of failing health.

He was an ardent cricketer and yielded the willow and trundled the ball for Frankston club up to a few years ago, when he still bowled a tricky and tempting ball, and had a stubborn defence with the bat.

Indeed for over forty years he was one of the mainstays of the club, always turning up punctually and in this respect putting younger members to the blush. The lack of interest taken in the game in Frankston of later years was a cause of great regret to him. *** FATAL Railway Accident. A shocking accident occurred at the railway station, Frankston, on Thursday evening last, when an employee of the Department, named H. Maudsley was run over and killed instantly while proceeding home from his work. An inquiry into the circumstances will be held today, and full particulars will be given next issue. *** A UNITED effort must be made to forward more soldiers from Australia, and a fortnight’s work in arranging details will culminate in a ‘Recruitment Week’, from Monday, 5th July to Monday, 12th July, and for this purpose a public meeting was held in the Mechanics’ Hall, on Monday evening last.

There was a good attendance. Cr Oates (President of the shire) took the chair, and read the request from State Parliament that more men were want-

ed to fill the places of the fallen — the places of men who had accomplished such wonderful achievements.

We are proud to know they have accomplished such deeds with honor to our Empire. They have fought well and died, and it is our duty to see that their places are filled.

Everybody must be willing to do their share and take their part in this great campaign. Dr Plowman was elected to carry out the secretarial duties and said he was happy to accept the position.

He was too old to go to the front himself, but he could drive a quill, and would do his best to carry out his duties. Apologies were read from Dr Maxwell, Captain Sherlock, and Mr Young. Dr Plowman read a letter from Captain Hartland, who, so far has escaped and managed to get word through to his parents.

A younger brother of Captain Hartland has been wounded, but not severely, we are pleased to say.

After a short discussion, July 7th was fixed for the public meeting, on the motion of Mr Pimm, seconded by Mr Hartland.

Mr Pimm moved Sir John Madden be asked to speak at the meeting, also Mr Elmslie and Sir William Irvine— Seconded by Cr Oates and carried.

The programme arrangements to be left in hands of secretary. Mr Willox answered on behalf of the local band that he thought they would be willing to assist on the night of the 7th July.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Stale mate: My life of treachery

By Stuart McCullough THE word slipped effortlessly past his lips. As he scanned items and deposited them into my bedraggled recyclable shopping bag, this feckless youth asked whether I had an, ‘everyday rewards card’. This, of course, was not idle conversation but part of a mandated interrogation that has transformed grocery shopping into a form of retail cross-examination. But then he added one more word that took his enquiry decidedly off-script.

Without so much as batting an eyelid, he asked: Do you have an everyday rewards card, mate?

He said it so quickly that I couldn’t believe it at first. Not because of the inappropriateness of the term ‘everyday rewards card’ when I do my shopping on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays which would make it, at best, an ‘every other day rewards card’, but for the term that he’d slapped on to the end of his sentence without so much as a first thought, never mind a second. Suddenly, a scripted inquiry as to whether I had a particular piece of plastic in my wallet was elevated in terms of its status. By using the term ‘mate’, notions of friendship and loyalty and allegiance were now in play. I had previously assumed that I could take or leave such things

as I pleased, never suspecting that whether or not I had an everyday rewards card might become a question of character.

But here I was, spotlight fixed and found wanting.

Let me be honest: I have never really been the type of person who felt comfortable using the term ‘mate’. Whether with friend or stranger, it’s simply never really been a part of my vocabulary. I appreciate that by admitting this some may regard my aversion as a form of treason and propose that I be deported, even though I was

born here. (If I must leave the country, could you send me to Antarctica? I fancy my chances of ingratiating myself with the local penguin population and, one day, becoming their leader.) I’ve no idea what being ‘mate’ averse says about me.

It’s not that I’m opposed to terms that denote either affection or a substitute for learning someone else’s name. It’s just that ‘mate’ is not my preferred mode of engagement. On the few occasions that I have given it a whirl, it’s always felt and sounded kind of disingenuous.

Unconvincing. The cold hard truth of the matter is that I am more likely to refer to another person as ‘dude’ than I am ‘mate’. It then dawned on me that this might not be merely a matter of preference. Instead, it may be proof positive that I’m not worthy of the term.

It was then that I saw his name badge. Hovering below a lank, greasy fringe and a face replete with teenage blemishes was a small plastic tag that simply said: Jasper. When I was a kid, Jasper was a name you gave a cat rather than a

child. None of my classmates at Tyabb Primary School were called ‘Jasper’. In the years that I was there, we didn’t have any ‘Tarquins’, ‘Hunters’ or ‘Optimus Primes’ either. But it seemed quite telling that someone saddled with the kind of nomenclature that would once have been a source for ridicule felt sufficiently comfortable to deploy the language of camaraderie even when filling an afternoon shift at the local supermarket.

It has to be said that the word ‘mate’ is nothing if not flexible. It can be used as a term of affection or friendship. In other circumstances, it is used as a threat; to signify that the recipient is crossing some unseen boundary and, should he not desist, there will be consequences of an unspecified magnitude visited upon him. Or it can be transactional. Perhaps Jasper’s use of the term ‘mate’ was little more than a substitute for punctuation. Maybe he calls everyone he meets ‘mate’ because, unlike him, not everyone wears a plastic name badge pinned to his shirt.

Then it occurred to me: I am not special. My deploying the term ‘mate’, Jasper is not extending the hand of friendship.

Stuck behind the checkout, this impressionable youth has not glanced up and been awestruck at the mere sight of me. I am

not someone he looks up to, admires or one day hopes to emulate. Nor do he and I share a bond underpinned by a shared belief in the ‘everyday rewards card’ system and the bounty that it delivers. Not at all. Instead, he is calling me ‘mate’ probably because he calls everyone, including his own mother, ‘mate’. His is a world where everyone, even the idlest passerby, is a mate. Where all and sundry form part of a broad network of support.

Do you wanna receipt, mate?

And with those words, my stupor came to an abrupt end.

This time, the word ‘mate’ had a slight sharpness to it. As though it was being used more as a matter of sarcasm than friendship. Casting a glance to my left, I could see a line of impatient shoppers, who were likely to call me lots of things; ‘mate’ not being one of them, clearly wanting me to get a wriggle on. Embarrassed, I gave a brief shake of the head.

No, I said as I lifted my shopping bags. No thanks…. dude.

There was no reaction. If, at that moment, Jasper had been walking and not stuck behind a checkout counter, he would doubtless have taken it in his stride. For me, though, the only thing I took in my stride was my shopping as I hurriedly exited the supermarket. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

A Grain of Salt THE Border Force Act: Teachers, doctors, security staff subject to two years’ jail if they speak publicly about what they witnessed on Nauru? Democratic accountability and the rule of law, our rights in the name of anti-terrorism.

Immigration laws, natural justice, citizenship? Tony’s crowd are bombarding us, but adherence on metadata laws and asylum seeker policies are the same with Billy’s lot.

The spying on Sarah HansonYoung and the mysterious Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, too important to Australia to let us in on the fine print?

“The more they get the more they want” seemingly a locked in principle of authoritarian human nature.

The Russian saying “Before you die you cannot get enough of breathing”. True, at my age there’s relief in the peace of downtown Rye, devoid of political activism. The second principle of human nature “I’m all right, Jack” as my security blanket, but disturbing nevertheless.

Smile, we’re all on candid camera. *** My fascination with the ABC’s The Killing Season lies in the various answers and the amazing display of self-indulgence and self-righteousness of many interviewees.

The documented shots of what was said was real enough, but the difficulty lies in the interpretation; each seemingly with justifiable reasons for their actions, but whichever way you saw it you knew some of them (certainly not all) were lying.

Cicero considered those who were lovers of themselves without rivals were doomed in the end to failure?

Kevvy Rudd lynched, with doubtful arguable evidence he had lost

the plot. On the other hand he’s a Queenslander? The “leaks” is a wonderful tool. A friend on Fairfax or News Limited and away you go; both sides. Kevvy’s real undoing (again arguably) not taking his right and left wing union bosses into his decision making circle. Top marks to the ABC’s Sarah Ferguson. *** Billy is in hot water running the real risk of being found guilty (by the public) without evidence before his July 8th appearance with Tony’s man, Commissioner Dyson Heydon’s Royal Commission into Union Corruption, which some call a witch hunt.

The reported $300,000 agreement may well be a good one, but as it stands it’s doubtful if the voters will take any facts on board.

In addition Billy’s accusation that Abbott paid $30,000 to smugglers is offset by Tony’s suggestion of Labor paying for disruption activities and information.

As if that’s not enough, Billy opposed the government’s tougher assets test on pensions and the Greens again did the dirty on Labor by coming to Scott Morrison’s aid. It’s time Billy made his move, if he has one. Peyton Place continues... *** An aspiring would be actor attending arts classes asked about breaking into the business. I emailed this reply: “One of the most overlooked and yet most important parts of anyone’s career is “who you know”.

Thus, list management here and potentially anywhere; sometimes known as bullying, nepotism, manipulation and/or plain exclusion, pertaining to Australian culture, society. Aussies generally can be selfconscious, ironic, laconic, outgoing,

resentful, multicultural, consumed by doubt, fear, selfishness, searching for self-awareness, recognition, self-love, self-importance, money, sex and occasionally truth, where assertiveness and stubbornness are sure signs of animal stupidity. But without knowing the right people you’re in no-mans land, at work or play; You’re not on the A or B list, forget it. Best surrender; survive on self-deprecation.

Another doozy who has cunningly kept his/her head down, discreet and subtle, has arisen. Perhaps from England with a suspiciously long creative unproven CV, a cousin of the boss, a pretty face who appears to be really interested in your work, your good looks, your tie; suddenly appearing from the dark side, promoted?

Back to square one, all those tickets on yourself removed. Generally ambitious, confident, past master manipulators who do not know you’re alive. You’ve got egg on your tie, curried.

Accept the rules, toe the line, aim for the B into A and stay clear of financial advisers, counsellors and gossip.” A nice kid. Good luck to him. *** Well done to Wayne Carey and Greg Baum in highlighting the political correctness nonsense on the blanket “no drinking” the night before an AFL footy game.

Discipline is a fine thing but not only is it impossible to find two opinions exactly the same, but often the same man (or woman) will change that opinion at a different time. A glass of wine can be good medicine for some.

Fremantle’s Ryan Crowley copped a year for taking a methadone pill.

By Cliff Ellen Cameron Mooney and Barry Hall commented: “Crowley was nasty on field but off the field a really nice bloke”. Another insightful gem on a par with Dermot Brereton’s insights. Some of those football shows rightly belong on the Comedy Channel. Years ago I had a day long chat with Russell Street bomber Stan Taylor on the set of a television show. He seemed like a really nice bloke at the time. *** It must be difficult voting Labor living in Camberwell. Who would you talk to?...ABC’s Q&A: Beware of Malcolm Turnbull, Tony Jones...

To Education Minister Christopher Pyne “Insanity is when you do the same thing over and over

again and expect different results.”

[A Einstein]...If I was retired with $823,000 in the tin tank and owned my house I wouldn’t give a monkey’s uncle about any pension changes...I know I’m old when people remark how clever I am on seeing me pressing buttons on my iphone 4...Exciting times for salivating Andrew Bolt...Has Tony Abbott got dual citizenship?...To all you letter writers out there, kindly never use “thinking Australians” as a reason for your opinions. Of the top rated shows on any particular weekday A Current Affair and Home and Away are in the top ten?...I renewed my passport; stupid. I’m staying put...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com www.ello8.com Mornington News 30 June 2015

Buds are right in the premiership race NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt ROSEBUD proved once and for all on Saturday that it is right in the mix for the 2015 Nepean League premiership.

In the match of the round, the Buds opened up an early break and despite Hastings getting within ten points late in the clash, the home side was able to put on the afterburners and boot five goals to two in the last to win 17.15 (117) to 11.11 (77).

The Buds have now won six matches on the trot, their only losses coming at the hands of Rye in the opening game of the season and against Red Hill three weeks later.

Rosebud were able to turn the tables on Red Hill a few weeks ago to the tune of 100 points.

It was Hastings’ second loss of the season, its first coming against Somerville.

The Buds have now beaten Hastings, Red Hill and Somerville in their opening ten games. They are yet to play Sorrento and they don’t play Rye for a second time.

Before the match, the call was made that if Hastings could stop the in–form Tom Baker, they would probably win the match. Well, Baker was held goalless, however, the Blues still managed to kick 17 majors.

Greg Bentley played as a forward in the first half and booted four goals before going off with a hyper–extended knee. He didn’t come back on the field in the second half.

Lachy Armstrong and Keegan Downie also contributed three goals each while Chris Zurek did a wonderful job on Luke Clark, restricting the goal kicking ladder leader to just three goals.

The stand out best player on the ground was Jason Bristow. He booted three goals and racked up the possessions playing in the middle of the ground.

Ryan Spooner was dominant on a wing and Nick Boswell brought his absolute A-game to the table. After finding his way for a while, Boswell is now in tip top shape and dominating. There is no question that Boswell is one of the most damaging players in the competition.

Rosebud had seven Under 19 players running around on Saturday. An

absolute credit to the club and to the senior coach Nick Jewell for showing the faith and confidence in them to perform at the highest level against the best teams in the competition.

What appeared to be an Achilles heel (inexperience), has proven to be an absolute will to do what is best for the team.

Nick Jewell agreed.

“What the kids give us is absolute effort. The more experienced and older players go out on the field knowing that the kids will do anything to help us win,” said Jewell.

“I sent a text message to the senior players on Friday night and told them

that the kids will give us their all and it was their responsibility to bring their best effort and steer the ship for us.

“That’s exactly what they did – they were just super.”

Once again, Rosebud had 30-plus shots at goal. Jewell went on record four weeks ago saying that his side liked to play scrappy footy.

“Yeah, I guess you could say that we have changed the way we play,” said Jewell.

“That hasn’t been conscious though. Our basic ingredient is defend first, which we have and always will do.

FRANKSTON VFL FOOTBALL CLUB

“Where things have changed is that we are defending extremely well, turning over the ball in dangerous parts of the ground, regaining possession and attacking hard.

“Our team defence has improved dramatically as the season has gone on too and I think the make-up of our team is a lot more unpredictable than we have been in the past, which helps us.

“Players like Dale Stephens is playing unbelievable footy after being in the footy wilderness for a while.”

Rosebud went into the game without seven of their best 22. Paul McDonald, Matt Baker, Seb Kremich,

Chris Dew, Rohan Forrest and Paul Kennedy all didn’t play yesterday, while Bentley was off for the second half.

“Hastings had some good players out too with the likes of Brendan Dunne, Steve Charalambous and a couple of others while Colin McVeigh missed because his wife went into labour on Friday night.

“It does prove though that our depth is fantastic and when everyone is available, there’s going to be some very good players in the reserves or Under 19s,” said Jewell.

Somerville blew Crib Point away with an explosive six goals to zip in the opening quarter. By half time they had restricted the opposition to one goal and led by 52 points at the change.

First quarters were once a problem for the Eagles but now it seems they have got their starts right.

Rohan Hogenbirk, Luke Rowe and Scott Simpson all booted three goals each for the Eagles in their 18.13 (121) to 6.8 (48) victory, while Timmy McGenniss was once again the best player on the ground with two goals and more than 30 touches.

Luke Herrington was the best of the Magpies with three goals.

Notice of no confidence brings MPNFL crisis to a head

By Toe Punt MORNINGTON Peninsula Nepean Football League is about to face its biggest change in the history of the competition.

Last Friday night (June 26), Peninsula League clubs supported the Nepean League clubs and issued the MPNFL Board with a ‘Notice of No Confidence’.

There were eight of the 10 Peninsula League clubs who supported the vote of no confidence with both Mt Eliza and Frankston YCW not supporting the motion.

Between the competitions, 19 of the 22 clubs (Somerville abstained from the vote) have demanded change.

They only needed support of 75 per cent of clubs.

A Special General Meeting will be called in the coming days to formalise

the matter, which will likely see the MPNFL Board resign their posts and AFL South East take control in a caretaker capacity.

The MPNFL administration, including the CEO Jeff Jones and long standing operations manager Ian Benson, will remain in place until at least the end of the season.

With salaries and honorariums exceeding $300,000 each year, it is highly unlikely that the administration structure will remain the same in 2016 and beyond.

The typical structure of a regional administration includes an operations manager and netball coordinator.

That’s it.

In an email to the league, Karingal president Daniel Watts wrote on behalf of all Peninsula League clubs: “The Peninsula FNL presidents met

earlier this week to discuss what was going to be regarding the sustainability of our clubs and issues that surrounded that but instead we spoke purely of this motion only.

“After much deliberation eight Peninsula FNL clubs have decided to join the motion put forward by the Nepean FNL clubs - A Notice of No Confidence in MPNFL board and administration.

“We have alerted Jeremy Bourke (AFL South East) to this decision and now ask that a Special General Meeting for the MPNFL be convened so this motion can be enacted.

“Thank you again to all the Peninsula FNL clubs who have scrambled over the past week in the middle of an already busy time for clubs to discuss and finalise this matter which was very difficult but professionally dealt with.”

The MPNFL board and administration have no-one but themselves to blame for their downfall.

It is understood AFL South East encouraged the MPNFL board to sit down with them more than 18 months ago and discuss the opportunities of them making up a regional board. It was an offer the board rejected.

The MPNFL administration, once preventing AFL South East to have any communication or influence on their member clubs and deliberately withholding important information to them, are now keen to work with AFL South East, scrambling for selfpreservation.

What the administration are perhaps failing to recognise is that 19 of the 22 club are just as keen to see change at the administration level as they are with the board.

Scare tactics have been used in recent days with various rumours being circulated about where clubs will play next season, promotionrelegation, etc.

Jeremy Bourke, while reluctant to engage in conversation about the process, said “absolutely no discussion or talk has been had about any structural changes or individual clubs from an AFL South East perspective”.

“Any of those discussions will be held with all clubs with them having a major say in what happens in the future,” said Bourke.

“We’ll be working alongside them, not dictating to them and pushing our own agendas.”

That’s a refreshing outlook and future to look forward to!

Redlegs fail defensive test PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt MT ELIZA has an enormous amount of work to do if it is going to win that elusive Peninsula League premiership in 2015 after a poor showing against Frankston YCW on Saturday.

It was billed as the match of the season. Fact is, it was an absolute fizzer.

The ball spent more than 70 per cent of the game in the Stonecats’ front half of the ground and 37 scoring shots to 20 was a reasonable tale of the afternoon.

The home side had 60 inside 50m entries to the opposition’s 31, while boasting 33 clearances to 17.

The Redlegs engine room of Dave Barton, Ben Landry and Rohan Heasley netted just 42 possessions between them. Of those 42 possessions, more than half would have been ineffective hack kicks.

Darren Booth and Sam Gill, usually prolific ball winners across half back, were under enormous pressure all afternoon and were restricted in their ability to dictate the way the game is played.

Mt Eliza was unbelievably predictable from the first bounce to the final siren. They didn’t change their style, giving the impression that there was no ‘Plan B’.

The Redlegs didn’t change the angles, didn’t switch play, didn’t go short, didn’t play on and didn’t have a third man up against the best ruckman in the competition in Ash Eames – there was nothing.

The only thing that the Mounties did seem to try was to take their two ruckman in Matt Lillie and Jordan Capkin off the ground and throw an undersized James Anwyl into the ruck.

I’m not sure what that achieved because the Stonecats booted five goals to one during the period and clearance work was made so much easier.

All credit to Frankston YCW though. The Stonecats forced Mt Eliza to second guess themselves and play the way they did. They simply prevented the Redlegs from playing their own game.

Frankston YCW protected the corridor, shut down those who needed to be shut down and prevented the opposition’s run from half back.

Numbers got back to support the defence and strangle the dangerous Justin Van Unen. Van Unen was named in the best with four goals but two of them were from dubious free kicks in

Win out of reach: Mt Eliza went down to Frankston YCW by 32 points. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

the goal square and he would not have had more than six touches.

Daniel Waddell completely shut him down.

Kyle Hutchison was the best four quarter performer on the ground, while Tony Lester and Lachy Wallace completely dominated the first half. Ryan Santon wasn’t named in the team’s best but was clearly one of the best players on the ground.

Mt Eliza had three players worth mentioning – Rob D’Orazio, Jimmy Clayton and James Freeman.

D’Orazio did a wonderful job on both Dave Bodley and Anthony Bruhn and was the only effective defender.

Clayton played in various positions in defence, attack and through the middle and worked tirelessly.

James Freeman was back from the Stingrays and had countless possessions. Freeman was the only player

who tried to take on the opposition and create something. He was rewarded with two last quarter goals.

It was vintage Frankston YCW on Saturday. Other than Ricky Morris, they had their best 22 on the park with the inclusion on Saturday of Luke Collins, Lachy Wallace, Jesse Coghlan and Anthony Barry.

Pines for the second time this season proved that the difference between the top four sides and those vying for fifth place is poles apart.

The Pythons took on Langwarrin at home on Saturday and other than a tight first quarter, completely smashed the opposition.

The red and green had 25 scoring shots to 17 and booted 15.10 (100) to 6.11 (47).

Guy Hendry loves giving it to Langwarrin and he did again with five gaols while Harley Parker was dangerous

too with four majors.

Luke Holdcroft has become one of the best stoppers in the competition and he was at it again on Saturday while Aaron Edwards was first class.

Langwarrin had a handful out with the likes of Scott Sienkiewics, Jayden Grose, Ethan Rahilly, Matt Dimkos, Gerard Brown and Andrew Withers not playing.

Rikki Johnston earned himself yet another three club votes and would be miles ahead in the club B&F while Sean Herdman and Michael Parker were also hard workers.

Bonbeach went from beating Mornington to getting beaten by Seaford on Saturday.

The Tigers have been ordinary at best this season but led all afternoon to win their second game of the season, 14.13 (97) to 10.8 (68).

It was a convincing victory. Aaron

Walton led from the front with six goals in a best on ground performance while Dean Williamson and Josh Stokes, arguably the Tigers’ best players, were at the top of their game.

Some household MPNFL surnames in Jackson Sole and Gary Carpenter were the best of the Sharks.

Mornington bounced back from its shock loss to Bonbeach last week to beat Karingal 20.18 (138) to 7.7 (49).

The margin was seven points at quarter time and 27 point at half time.

Jackson Calder was back and booted four goals, along with Jake Smart.

Josh Halsall and Chris Baker were the best of the Doggies.

Aaron’s Paxton and Lees were the best of the Bulls, along with Brodie Kempster and Bevan Malloy, who made a return to help out his old club.

Edithvale and Chelsea went toe to toe in the traditional Sunday game.

Mornington News 30 June 2015

Toorak Twins Elly & Sarah Sarah and Elly Jackson are a high achieving local duo, who took out first and second place for Overall Junior Female, as well as second and third for Overall Female in the Arthurs Seat Challenge last year. Similarly talented in the academic arena, the girls graduated from Toorak College in 2014 with identical ATAR scores (they are identical twins after all!) to receive the prestigious award of Dux Proximus. Now 18 years old, the girls have started University courses, Elly is studying in Biomedicine with the intention of becoming an Obstetrician and Sarah is completing a Bachelor of Science, hoping to specialise in Veterinary Medicine. The girls are eleven minutes apart in age, with Elly being the eldest, but their times for the Arthurs Seat Challenge were much closer with less than a minute separating the pair. Once again, however, Elly crossed the line first!

They say this isn’t always the case, rather, when it comes to Athletics, Sarah has the edge and always takes out the sprints. With Cross Country, the rivalry is fiercer, however, the girls see it more as healthy competition and motivation. Sarah said, “We really help each other out. I don’t imagine that either of us would have reached the level that we have, if we didn’t have each other. We train together, race together, and most importantly motivate each to run.”

When asked about their stance on road safety for young people, both girls were adamant that relevant education is a must. “I really can’t begin to express how much I support this. I know all too well how important road safety is for young drivers, so the kind of education Fit2Drive provides is invaluable. Anything that helps to become safer on the roads is beneficial not only for us, but for all other road users too” said Elly. Sarah was also quick to remind us about distractions behind the wheel, “I feel a lot of young people take their safety for granted whilst driving, and don’t realise how unsafe it actually is at this age. I see way too many people, including my own peers, checking their phones whilst driving and I cringe every time.

That is something that I really think needs to be stopped.”

Asked if they would return in 2015, both girls emphatically confirmed, Sarah stating “Of course! Elly is looking like the favourite, but I still dream of beating her in a cross country race so I will be trying hard!” Elly played down her strength with hill runs, saying “I will be back this year no doubt!

It will be good to have another crack at that hill, it’s definitely a challenge that’s for sure! As for who will win this time, I have no idea, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!”
