It was a bitter-sweet day for fans of big band music at Peninsula Community Theatre last Wednesday when the Victoria Police Showband and Pipe Band entertained members of Mornington Police Senior Community Register for the final time. Three police bands (including Code 1) will disband on 31 December following Chief Commissioner Ken Lay’s decision to return band members to traditional police work. Police bands have entertained community register members since 1999 and people at last week’s concert gave band members a rousing cheer. Picture: Yanni

Land clearing battle

By Mike Hast MT Eliza Secondary College wants to complete the clearing of its land facing Mt Eliza Way and “offset” the loss of rare grassy woodland at another location.

But the town’s peak conservation group – Mt Eliza Association For Environmental Care – wants the land

rehabilitated as part of the college’s sudent education program.

The clearing of grassy woodland for two junior soccer pitches in May created widespread community anger and lead to investigations by the Department of Education, Department of Environment and Primary Industries, and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

for our consideration.

“School council has reviewed the proposed options and settled on a preferred option. We are seeking feedback on this approach from the [Department of Education] legal division, in consultation with the Department of Environment and Primary Industry [sic].

“Once we have received feedback we will commence the process of com-

munity consultation to ensure that our final approach meets the needs of the college, while respecting and engaging the views of our community.”

Ms Pollard declined to answer further questions including when a decision would be made and what kind of community consultation would occur.

CEO signs off with plans to expand

By Keith Platt AROUND the clock emergency care for heart attack patients has been introduced at Frankston Hospital.

“Ambulances will no longer need to transfer patients between health services, which can often also result in longer wait times,” Peninsula Health CEO Dr Sherene Devanesen said.

“In addition to providing patients with a localised and accessible 24/7 service, the introduction of the extended service also aims to reduce the workloads and waiting times for ambulances.”

The announcement at Peninsula Health’s annual meeting at Frankston Arts Centre on Friday came as the state government renewed efforts to end a standoff over wages and conditions by ambulance paramedics.

It followed an incident in July when a 71-yearold Hastings man suffered cardiac arrest while being transferred from Frankston Hospital to Monash Medical Centre.

The man spent two hours on a trolley at Frankston before being put back in an ambulance because the hospital did not have a spare bed.

An investigation by Peninsula Health found the man had been provided with adequate care and it was unlikely his death could have been prevented.

“In recent times, there have been a larger number of patients requiring cardiac angiography services outside of normal operating hours,” Dr Devanesen said.

“Normally these patients would be transferred to larger hospitals, which offer 24-hour emergency cardiac services.

“It is because of this continued increase in patients that a need was identified for a local, extended cardiac angiography service for our community.

“All patients in our catchment area suffering from suspected heart problems who come to Frankston Hospital emergency department will be able to access this service unless their condition requires

a more specialised service from one of the major hospitals.”

Dr Devanesen, who has resigned after 13 years as Peninsula Health CEO to become chief operating officer at the Yooralla Society of Victoria, announced several “expansions” to the health service in her final report.

She said an extra four treatment chairs would be added to Frankston Hospital’s oncology day treatment centre (for a total of 15) along with two more beds.

“The layout will be redesigned to create a friendlier, brighter and more accessible service for patients and staff,” Dr Devanesen said.

“The expansion will ensure that services in addition to chemotherapy such as blood transfusions, bone marrow biopsies, pathology and other investigative procedures are able to be carried out in an environment that is tailored to suit the needs of the service.”

Dr Devanesen said there would be 60 job vacancies “in the brand new, state-of-the-art, 30-bed geriatric rehabilitation wing at the award-winning Mornington Centre”.

Roles to be filled included nurses, allied health professionals, support services and administration staff.

“There will be a mix of full-time and part-time roles available,” Dr Devanesen said.

The new wing, due to open in March 2014, takes the Mornington Centre to a 90-bed inpatient centre.

“The patients we care for at the Mornington Centre have chronic and complex conditions, which may include dementia.

“The centre is a modern facility, which provides patient-centred and interdisciplinary care for patients requiring a period of assessment and rehabilitation to optimise function and determine future care needs.”

Charity running short of cash for violence victims

Pole shows way for bay users A WORK boat and a barge were busy off Mt Martha on Tuesday installing poles marking new boating and swimming zones.

The work was part of the third stage of implementing the zones, which stretche from Elwood to Mt Martha.

The second stage was completed earlier this year and included Mt Martha to Blairgowrie, the northern coastline of Phillip Island and northwest Port Phillip.

The four new zones followed a review of existing laws in Port Phillip and Western Port.

The new regulations include a “no boating� zone in front of lifesaving clubs as well as a “shared wind sports� area.

The four zones are: ď Žď€ Boating only: swimming is not permitted in this zone. ď Žď€ Swimming only: all vessels including personal watercraft, powered and unpowered vessels are not permitted in this zone. ď Žď€ Shared wind sport area: this zone allows kite boarding, sail boarding and other wind-based boating that may exceed five knots except within 50 metres of other vessels and swimmers. Other vessels are permitted in this area. ď Žď€ Five-knot speed limit zones all vessels: Up to 200m from shore – Swim-

their children escape family violence. “The fund provides emergency assistance to women and children facing crisis. It is for transport, accommodation, food, financial aid and counselling,� Ms Roberts said. “Affecting one in five Victorian women, domestic violence is the leading contributor to death, disability and illness in women aged 15 to 44. It is also a leading contributor to women facing homelessness. “I know far too many stories of women suffering violence from the men they have left or tried to leave.

The women could have been made so much safer if they’d had access to emergency financial relief.�

Good Shepherd, which has been helping people overcome poverty and disadvantage since 1976, receives no government money for its Safe Families fund. It assists about 18,000 people each year, the majority on the peninsula.

To donate to the fund, go to www. goodshepvic.org.au, email support@ goodshepvic.org.au or call 8412 7370.

Cove, Dromana to Sullivan Bay, Sorrento – Swimming and boating are permitted within 500m of the shore subject to defined areas above. All vessels must keep to the five-knot speed limit in this zone.

By Mike Hast WELFARE organisation Good Shepherd is almost out of money for its Safe Families fund, which helps women and children on the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston who have been subjected to family violence.

Good Shepherd’s marketing manager Suzana Talevski said demand for assistance had been steadily increasing and the fund was “running out�.

The organisation needed to raise $40,000 or more to get it through the next 6-8 months, she said.

It has launched a Christmas appeal with all money raised going to the fund, which started in 2010 and helps about 500 peninsula people each year.

Ms Talevski said a corporate sponsor that had previously supported the fund was directing its money to other causes.

She said without a strong flow of donations, “we will struggle to meet demand over Christmas. With so many women and children to assist, our funds are almost empty.

Good Shepherd CEO Robyn Roberts said the Safe Families Christmas appeal was aimed at helping women and

Bells jingling at radio studio RADIO Port Phillip’s recording studio was filled with excitement last week when primary school children recorded a Christmas CD. Thirty-six pupils from Woodlands, Mornington Park, Somerville Rise, Kingsley Park, Rosebud and Frankston Heights primaries performed traditional and modern Christmas carols.

Proceeds from CD sales will go to State Schools’ Relief, an independent charity that helps needy students at government schools.

Woodlands primary assistant

principal Michael Block said the event gave “children a full recording experience, while helping others”.

RPP-FM manager Brendon Telfer said the station was happy to make the BlueScope studio available for the day.

“It’s a super project for a very worthy cause and the kids were great.

Hopefully this was the first of an annual event,” he said.

The project was a great way to develop links between peninsula schools and its community radio station, he said.

Music director Malcolm Boag said it was “a terrific recording session” and praised the singers and the studio’s facilities.

The CD features classics like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and Jingle Bell Rock.

It will be available at the primary schools this week and at the station, next to Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilsons Rd, Mornington. Tracks will feature on the station’s Christmas playlists.

Crime rate up but police take credit Inspector Neil Aubert said that while the latest results were encouraging, police were concerned a number of key messages were not being heeded by residents, including the need for drivers not to leave valuables in plain sight and to lock their vehicles.

“I must say that, statistically, we are still seeing more than 60 per cent of thefts from motor vehicles occur where vehicles are left unlocked,” he said.

“We’re also seeing valuable items such as mobile phones, wallets, purses and other electronic items left on display in vehicles.

“Please remember to protect your valuables and think before your leave your car. Make it a priority to lock your vehicle, even in your own driveway.”

Family violence also remained an area of focus for police across Victoria, Inspector Aubert said. “[This] is an ongoing statewide issue that takes a terrible toll on families and the wider community. These destructive behaviours will remain a priority for police and support groups.

“The Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Unit will continue to target recidivist offenders and offer support to victims, so I urge all members of our community to speak out against family violence.”

He said the summer period loomed as high-risk period for both crime and road trauma.

“With holidays approaching, you will soon see more police out and about along the foreshores and at camping grounds.

“Police will treat seriously the acts of anti-social behaviour, drunkenness and drink and drug driving.”

Line call: This driver parked across bays at Peninsula Homemaker Centre was lucky not to be booked.

Police act on parking bay hogs POLICE have stepped in to “change the behaviour” of drivers parking across parking bays at a Mornington shopping centre.

Two drivers were issued infringement notices by police on Tuesday morning last week after parking their cars across parking bay lines at Peninsula Homemaker Centre.

Mornington police said several vehicles had been observed by officers over a number of days parking in the middle of bays at the shopping centre, which is at the corner Nepean Hwy and Bungower Rd. Senior Sergeant Ron Barbary said while police did not normally deal with parking matters in private car parks, officers had decided to act due to the “persistence” of the drivers’ actions.

“The two cars that received tickets have been parking right in the middle of two bays and they’ve been observed doing this over a number of days, so the officers concerned have decided that it was time to try to change their behaviour,” he said.

“It’s not very often we do this sort of thing, and there certainly hasn’t been any police blitz on parking in the area.

“But because of the persistence of the behaviour, police have decided to act.

He said it appeared the drivers were trying to make sure their cars were not scratched or damaged by making sure no one could park directly next to them.

“There were a couple of other cars that have been doing the same thing, parking right outside the shops in between bays, so they can consider themselves lucky not to have been booked as well.”

The two booked drivers could also consider themselves lucky, Senior Sergeant Barbary said, with the fine for not parking correctly within a designated parking space only $29, instead of the usual $60-$120 fines for most parking offences.

“It’s a cheap lesson really, and you can only hope that these drivers learn from it,” he said.

496674AA dc17Dec

By Chris Brennan THE total number of crimes recorded on the Mornington Peninsula was 2.6 per cent higher for the 12 months to 30 September compared with the corresponding period the year before, led by a rise in assaults, burglary and car theft.

The official crime rate for the peninsula, measured as a ratio of per head of population, was up just 0.8 per cent.

It was punctuated by significant declines in the number of robberies (down 34 per cent), drug offences (15.5 per cent lower), and theft from motor vehicle (down 17.3 per cent.).

The latest Victoria Police statistics for the year to 30 September show police on the peninsula are making significant inroads in curbing crime against property, but that crime against the person – a category that includes rape and domestic violence – continues to rise.

However, police said this was due mainly to increased reporting of incidents of family violence following high-profile campaigns that encouraged victims to come forward.

Across Victoria, the official crime rate was up 2.7 per cent measured as a rate per 100,000 people, while the total number of offences recorded jumped 4.6 per cent.

Crimes against the person increased by 2.5 per cent, due mostly to a rise in assaults, which increased 4 per cent, while robbery was down 18.3 per cent.

Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Lucinda Nolan said the increase in crime rates was due to better crime detection, particularly for offences such as drug use and possession. She said police had also seen a rise in breaches of family violence intervention orders, which was directly related to more family violence-based offences overall.

Art show embraces photography PHOTOGRAPHIC art has been added to the categories of works being accepted at next year’s Mornington Art Exhibition.

The popularity of photographic art is increasing along with its recognition as a relevant art form.

The photographic art section of the exhibition will have three categories – landscape or seascape, sport, and people – and will be judged by The News’s photographer Yanni. The News is the event’s major sponsor.

“This is a logical and positive step forward for all interested parties to the show, especially local photographers and Mornington Peninsula residents who will have the opportunity to display and view this popular art form,” said Yanni, who also a judge of photographs at this year’s Red Hill Show.

Yanni will also be displaying some of his own digitally produced images at the exhibition in January.

The exhibition will be the 42nd run

by Mornington Rotary, with a gala opening on Friday 17 January at the Peninsula Community Theatre, corner Nepean Highway and Wilsons Rd in Mornington. The exhibition ends Monday 27 January.

“We see the inclusion of photographs as a natural artistic expansion for our 42nd show, which will bring opportunities for all photographers to display and sell their work,” Mornington Rotarian Alan Harwood said.

“We have chosen three categories believing they are interesting for both artists and popular for the visitors to our show.

“This form of artistry opens up a whole new world of fine art for us

all, and we will welcome as many entries as we can professionally display. Prizes for each category will be $300.”

Tickets to the exhibition opening are available online or at Camerons Menswear and Farrell’s Bookshop, both in Main St, Mornington.

Since its inception, the art exhibition has raised close to $900,000 for Mornington Rotary Club projects such as as student scholarships, senior citizens’ welfare, yachts for people with a disabilities organised by Mornington Yacht Club, building four gazebos and helping science-based education for students.

Artists participating in the exhibitions have received more than $1.5 million for their works.

Summer gardening

Regrowth: Members of Mt Eliza Association For Environmental Care inspect weeds and native plants on the cleared land on Sunday. The group and Mt Eliza Secondary College is arguing over the fate of the rare grassy woodland bulldozed in May.

A SUMMER gardening workshop is being held on Saturday at the Eco Living Display Centre at The Briars Park in Mt Martha.

The workshop will be run by Mornington Peninsula Shire senior conservation ranger Jarrod Ruch, an experienced organic gardener.

Topics to be covered will include soil health and preparation; caring for fruit and vegetables in summer; ways to reduce water use; and organic control of summer pests.

Summer Gardening workshop, 1-3pm, Saturday 7 December, Eco Living Display Centre, The Briars, 450 Nepean Highway, Mt Martha.

Cost $15, bookings: 5987 3078.

Battle over land clearing Continued from Page 1 The assessment of the cleared land by environmental consultant Biosis recommended several options including full rehabilitation of the land, about one hectare (two acres) that contained manna gums, tea tree, grasses, sedges and precious greenhood orchids.

The “complete the clearing” option, the most destructive one, is still being considered by the Education Department’s legal division.

MEAFEC members inspected the

site on Sunday without the college’s permission. They entered the land unchallenged and found more than 50 native plant species including rare orchids that had grown since the clearing in May. Weeds also have sprouted on the disturbed land.

A MEAFEC spokesperson described it as an “environmental crime scene”.

“We’d like to see the site fully rehabilitated and the project could be part of the students’ education,” they said.

The college and Mt Eliza Junior

Soccer Club last year signed a document giving the club use of part of the school’s playing field for a full-sized soccer pitch as well as access to changing rooms and toilets.

The school then agreed to two junior soccer pitches being constructed in the grassy woodland area.

The man who allegedly ordered the clearing, deputy principal Phil Larkins, is moving to Mt Erin Secondary College for the 2014 school year.

Independent state proposed for peninsula

By Chris Brennan FRANKSTON and the Mornington Peninsula should secede from Victoria and form a new independent state with its own government, laws and flag, a Melbourne academic has suggested.

Swinburne University lecturer Matthew Mitchell said the wishes and democratic rights of the people of the Mornington Peninsula and City of Frankston were being ignored, especially when it came to planning and development issues, and that this could be resolved by the two municipalities uniting to become a separate state.

“At every community consultation, the one issue that nearly everyone agrees on is that the area is being overdeveloped and that people do not want that,” he said.

“So why is that, despite this being raised, development rolls on with proposals for even more high density living? Why is it that in this ‘democractic’ country, what the people want is ignored?”

The answer, he said, was that local governments were not recognised under the Australian Constitution and thus held little real power, while state bodies beholden to powerful business interests were able to overturn locally enacted laws and planning schemes, Dr Mitchell said.

Under the Australian constitution, only two levels of government are recognised – state governments and the federal government – with no mention of local government or local councils, he said.

“So local residents can spend a lot of time working with councils to create local planning laws to protect their communities and their local environment, but these laws can be overturned, either by VCAT or the planning minister.”

“People spend a lot of time going to council forums, writing objections, writing letters to newspapers, all with little effect.

“The answer is that there is something wrong with our democracy.”

The only way to reclaim the legal authority

State of play: Matthew Mitchell is proposing Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula become an independent state to ensure residents’ wishes are upheld. Picture: Gary Sissons

for residents to determine their own future was through the formation of a legally constituted state within the Australian federal system.

Dr Mitchell, who lives in Seaford and is a proponent of sustainable development, said that while the idea of forming an independent state on the Mornington Peninsula, with Frankston as its capital, might sound unfeasible, there was actually nothing stopping residents calling for a referendum to vote for the own independent government.

This was in fact the exact process by which the state of Victoria had been created.

“The State of Victoria was created in response

to the demands of Melbourne residents in 1850 to be governed by local people who understood their problems,” he said.

“This provides a precedent for the creation of the State of Mornington Peninsula.

“People on the Mornington Peninsula would seek the right to govern themselves as they see fit, by locals.

“A new state will allow the people of Mornington Peninsula to take control of their own future, and will provide immediate economic and environmental benefits.”

Dr Mitchell said the creation of the State of Mornington Peninsula would lead to “immediate

significant economic benefits” through creation of more jobs and opportunities in the area.

Revenue and employment opportunities that currently went to Melbourne would be re-located to Frankston and the peninsula, with an independent state requiring its own education, transport and planning departments, as well as courts and police.

“The flow-on effects of this would significantly boost local business and open up very attractive opportunities to the people of Mornington Peninsula State,” Dr Mitchell said.

“And these systems would be far more responsive to the needs of the people on the peninsula than the current state services.”

“In fact, if this process was to be conducted across Victoria, this would achieve the decentralisation and revitalisation of rural communities that has been discussed and previously attempted by the state government over recent decades.

“The conversion of the entire State of Victoria into a set of smaller regional states could also be done via a state referendum.”

This could result in about 18 to 20 regional governments that could then create a “coalition of Victorian Governments” that would supervise and manage the re-organisation of former State of Victoria assets, services and responsibilities.

But it was in the areas of enivornmental management and development planning that the “micro-state” proposal was most critical. The creation of one or more regionalised state governments within Victoria would give communities direct control over the environment and natural resources.

“For example, communities would have complete control over the use of GMO crops and Coal Seam Gas Fracking,” Dr Mitchell said.

“We can see the problems, we can see where they come from. What we need to know now is how to get back control of our lives and our suburbs.”

Actor takes director’s role for short films IT looks like actor Steve Bastoni enjoyed the look of Movember, but the growth on his upper lip is for a role in a film being shot in Italy.

Last week the Rosebud-based Bastoni had his mind on much shorter, small budget productions than the Italian job he’s doing with Russell Crowe as he posed for stills to promote next February’s Peninsula Short Film Fest.

In his role as film festival director, Bastoni said films of up to eight minutes were being accepted up to the deadline of 20 December.

“If you have an idea, grab a camera and get filming,” he said.

The festival has a $5000 first prize, $2500 for second and $1250 third.

Bastoni said the winner of a new category – the Best Cinematography Award – “will walk

away with the much-coveted Black Magic Design Resolve software”.

“The festival is in its third year and provides filmmakers with the opportunity to receive industry acknowledgment, and offers a grassroots chance to launch a filmmaking career,” he said.

Shortlisted films will be judged by a panel including producers, directors and actors.

The 12 finalists will be announced in January with winners judged and announced on festival night, Saturday 1 February.

The festival starts at midday with live music and the 12 shortlisted films screened for free from 7pm. Peninsula Short Film Fest, Saturday 1 February, Village Green Rosebud. Details: www. peninsulashortfilmfest.com.au

Right, items produced by men’s shed members.

Top first year for ‘shedies’ MORNINGTON’S Men’s Shed has marked its first birthday with a hotel lunch.

The group started with 12 members and now has 44 and rising using premises at Mornington Peninsula Youth Enterprises in Mitchell St. President Paul Howard said a display of items produced by members impressed visitors at the celebration.

“We donate item to other community groups on the peninsula,” he said.

Mr Howard thanked MPYE and Mornington Peninsula Shire for support and advice.

“The group have been fortunate to have members with a range of skills such as engineering, cabinet-making and design as well as many experienced handymen,” he said.

“The initial focus has been on developing

comradeship, and setting up woodworking facilities thanks to generous donations from the public and various sources.

“Leadlighting is now included and metalworking equipment is being installed. Safety has been a focus with 10 members completing a first aid course.”

Mr Howard said the group had assisted Mornington Sea Scouts, U3A, Mornington Toy Library, and Mornington Park Primary School as well as MPYE with various projects.

“The shed is prepared to consider private projects on a selective basis,” he said.

“Lambruk” - 8 acres (approx) This stunning modern interpretation of the classic Australian homestead is undoubtedly one of the area’s finest homes and offers a rare combination of style and substance. Only recently completed, the house meets all the expectations of contemporary family living but blends naturally into its quiet, rural landscape. With 38sq of floorspace, it offers five very generous bedrooms plus study and the perfect balance of three casual living spaces that will cater for any lifestyle.

The great strength of this amazing home is more in what you can’t see than what you can. The depth and quality of finish is testament to the owner-builders eye for detail and extends to every square inch. A 5 star energy rating is due to insulated floors, walls and ceiling and custom built Vic Ash casement windows, all of which are double glazed. Magnificent Messmate polished floors and hand laid Adelaide bluestone feature walls and fireplaces are works of art in themselves. To name but a few, other features include two luxury bathrooms, fully ducted & zoned reverse-cycle A/C, ducted vacuum, 2.4m decked verandas and a dream kitchen with butlers pantry, bespoke soft close cabinetry and a top of the range Falcon ‘Elan’ cooker. Set at the end of a no-through road, the property has a significant level of existing development but will offer new owners that opportunity to add their stamp.

Best value for money in this new & prestigious area with all services including NBN connection.

PRICE REDUCED We think this is the best block in this quality new development at Tyabb but it hasn’t sold, so for the first time our vendor has reduced the price.

The most elevated of all the ¾ acre allotments in this fully serviced quality new area, this property overlooks a pleasant lake with the park across the road and is to have a screen fence erected by neighbour to the north.

When the original farmer was looking for a site to build a home this is the spot he chose with a quality outlook.

Only 3 left in this area.

PRETTY AS A PICTURE Situated opposite pretty park with lake and plenty of bird life we think this ¾ acre property offers the best outlook to the north and south. Situated on high side of the street with all services available (including NBN connection) it is hard to go past this quality allotment.

Northerly aspect cannot be built out as Urban Growth Boundary for the whole of Melbourne runs along the boundary.

Fenced on 1 side already with screen fencing to be erected by neighbour the shed next door will not be visible once additional side fence has been erected.

Thieves target SES base AN SES emergency response trailer containing an expensive generator has been stolen from the Hastings unit’s headquarters on Frankston-Flinders Rd. The theft of the trailer was discovered early in the morning of Monday 18 November when members were notified that the base’s front fence had been damaged.

The trailer, similar to the one pictured above, was normally locked inside the base but had been placed in the front car park area the previous morning for collection by state officials for transfer to another unit.

Hastings SES spokesperson Dan-

ielle de Natris said that, while the trailer had recently been replaced and was not of significant value, it contained a generator worth about $5000.

“We had it at the unit for more than ten years, but it was a great reminder of our efforts in fund raising to get it operational,” she said.

“The generator was meant to be serviced and re-used by another unit, who will now have to fund raise for that.

“We have a new storm trailer now, again mostly thanks to members’ fund-raising efforts, and that is parked safely inside with our other vehicles.

“But we do take this sort of thing pretty personally.

“We’re a volunteer organisation, so it’s very disappointing to see people stealing from volunteers and the vulnerable.

“You wonder what sort of people would do something like this.”

Police said there had been recent spate of trailers being stolen from homes and businesses in the area.

Anyone with information that might assist in locating the trailer is asked to contact Detective Senior Constable Chris Zurek at Hastings crime investigation unit 5970 7800 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Melbourne and surrounding areas switch on 10 December 2013*

Last week to switch!

The final countdown to digital-only TV has begun The analog TV switch off is happening on 10 December 2013* – and there’s no turning back. After this date you won’t see anything if you’re not ready for digital-only TV.

What do I have to do?

Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner.

Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to.

Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling.

If you have any other questions, or to find your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.

Don’t put it off any longer. Get ready for digital TV today. *Please note: switch off may occur earlier in some towns. Residents in these towns will be informed about the switchover dates. See the website for more information.

Speeding P-platers licences suspended

By Chris Brennan A TEENAGER driving to schoolies celebrations in Rosebud was one of three P-plate drivers to have their licences suspended over the weekend for excessive speeding during a police blitz on Frankston and Mornington Peninsula roads.

A 19-year-old man from Roxburgh Park was detected by Frankston highway patrol officers travelling at 140km/h in a 100km/h zone on Peninsula Link near the Frankston Freeway about 1.05am on Saturday.

The man was charged under anti-hooning legislation and had his licence suspended for six months, while the Ford Falcon sedan he was driving was issued with a defect notice.

Police caught a further two P-plate drivers speeding on the Western Port Highway early Saturday.

Police intercepted a Mazda sedan that had been detected travelling at 138km/h between Hall Rd and Thompsons Rd about 1.40am. The 22-yearold P-plate driver had his licence suspended for six months and was fined $541 and lost six demerit points.

Just as the Frankston highway patrol members were completing paperwork by the side of the highway for the above offence, they observed another vehicle speeding past.

The car was detected travelling at 131km/h in the 100km/h zone and a 19-year-old P-plate was intercepted about 1.50am.

His licence suspended for a month, while he was also fined $397 and lost four demerit points.

The charges came at the start of a two-month blitz by Victoria Police that aims to reduce road trauma over the high-risk summer holiday season.

Summer Stay road enforcement campaign is focusing on the fatal five factors that contribute to road trauma over the Christmas and New Year period: speed, alcohol and drug driving, fatigue, driver distraction and seatbelt offences.

Crash shuts Nepean Hwy TRAFFIC on the Mornington Peninsula was thrown into chaos last Wednesday when the Nepean Hwy was closed to traffic for more than 11 hours after an accident between a truck and car.

The highway was closed at Dromana between White Hill Rd and Moorooduc Rd at Dromana from 8am after truck rolled over into its side and spilled diesel across the roadway.

Police and VicRoads emergency crews worked throughout the day to clean up the diesel spill, which caused “serious damage” to the roadway.

The highway was partially reopened to traffic about 7pm but speeds were reduced to 40km/h until 5.30am on Thursday.

Police said the accident occurred when a car travelling north allegedly veered onto the wrong side of the road into the path of the oncoming truck.

Waves of support but nothing at the point

WATER SAFETY

feature

Safety first: World Tour surfer Bec Woods with India Payne and Jess Laing at the water safety and surfing program at Point Leo. Picture: Robertson/Surfing Victoria

THE surf might not have been up, but the lack of swell was made up by waves of enthusiasm when 18 girls hit the beach at Point Leo on Thursday.

They were there for the Play it Safe by the Water Surfing for Girls program run by Surfing Victoria.

The program uses positive female role models and professional surf coaches to pass on surfing and water safety skills and knowledge to the next generation of female surfers.

Participants were given a lesson in water safety, which included a basic board rescue to

help prepare them for summer.

Due to the lack of surf, participants were taken through a basic land surf lesson and water safety drills and then beach and water games throughout the session.

“The girls had a great attitude even though the weather wasn’t very nice” World Tour surfer Rebecca Woods said.

“One of the hardest things to do is keep motivation when the surf and weather aren’t great and they all did a fantastic job of staying motivated.”

Swimming safely in open water YOUNGSTERS on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston will be able to learn about swimming safely in open waters over three weeks in January.

The VICSWIM Summer Kidz January holiday program will be at Blairgowrie, Dromana, Flinders, Seaford and Frankston 6-24 January.

The VICSWIM Summer Kids program, offered by Aquatics and Recreation Victoria (ARV), runs at more than 130 sites across Victoria, with many new locations at holiday beach spots.

VICSWIM Summer Kids is the only accessible aquatic education and water safety program to work with kids in real life, open water locations.

“If you are confident in and around the water, a whole world of opportunity opens up to you as you get older and participate in a range of activities that help you maintain a healthy and active lifestyle,” ARV CEO Ian Swan said.

“The building of confidence and self-esteem that comes with participating in the VICSWIM Summer Kidz program also promotes personal resilience and self-confidence and this is why we have partnered with the Bully Zero Foundation Australia and its other major sponsors, to assist with the fight against bullying.”

The program provides a week of lessons for $25. Details: www.vicswim.com.au

Mornington News 3 December 2013

Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 December 1913 Considerable excitement was caused in Frankston on Friday afternoon, when the firebell was heard to ring. The fire was located at the railway station, and the brigades were quickly on the scene, but when they arrived the railway officials had the fire well under control. The outburst was caused by the painters, who are burning off the paint preparatory to re-painting, and the fire apparently went through from the outside to the old wood inside. Luckily little damage was done. *** An accident occurred at the level crossing near Tanti on Wednesday last, happily without serious result to the participant. As the train from Mornington was going across the crossing a motor cyclist, who apparently had not noticed the train dashed into it. The cycle was very badly damaged, but when the train pulled up it was found that the rider had escaped without a scratch. *** The Frankston Brass Band gave another enjoyable concert last Saturday evening in Station Street.

A collection was taken up for the uniform fund, and realised one guinea, of this Mr G. W. Wells generously donated 10s 6d.

The Band will play in Bay Street tonight (Saturday), weather permitting. *** At the Mornington Y.M.C.A., on Friday, 28th November, the syllabus item was a ladies’ night, and passed off most enjoyably. In consequence of the great number of invitations accepted it was found necessary to hold the function in St. Peter’s school room, which was kindly offered by the Rev. Mr Sandiford. About 60 ladies and gentlemen were present and were well pleased with the musical programme, the parlour games and the refreshments, which were supplied by Mr Bieri. *** On Tuesday, November 25th, Major, Mrs and the Misses Campbell entertained the boys of the Melbourne Seaside Home at “Amesfield Park”, Mornington. The boys were driven from the State school through Frankston in cabs, which were provided by the hosts, to their residence.

They were treated to an abundance of good things such as cakes, lollies, fruit and motor rides. Games of all kinds were much appreciated. On leaving the boys gave three cheers for Major and Mrs Campbell. *** As reported in our last issue, Dr Plowman was at the last meeting of the show committee elected treasurer in place of Mr F. G. Chamberlin, who resigned. The chairman, Captain Sherlock, expressed his great regret at Mr Chamberlin’s resignation, and asked members if they thought he would reconsider his decision. It was not thought likely, however, and the resignation was perforce accepted with regret. Mr Chamberlin has held the position for about 12 years, and always carried out his duties in a most satisfactory and faithful manner. *** There was only a moderate attendance at the euchre party and dance held in the Frankston Mechanics’ hall on Wednesday evening last, in aid of the band uniform fund. A pleasant time was spent, however, and all appeared to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The first prizes in the euchre tournament were annexed by Mr B. Roberts (7 games), and Miss L. Gould (7 games), while Mr and Mrs Verney accounted for the “booby” prizes. After supper had been

handed round dancing was commenced. The band, under their energetic bandmaster, Mr E. C. Hammond, rendered several selections in firstclass style outside the hall, and under Secretary Guumes, they played for several dances. The secretary of the ladies committee (Mrs A. C. Millard) and Mr F. Hanton also assisted with the music for the dancing. *** A social evening in connection with the Frankston Branch of the A.W.N.L., was held in the local Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening last. There was a good attendance, Dr Maxwell occupying the chair. A splendid programme by visiting and local artists was gone through, and judging by the applause, each item greatly pleased those present. Mrs Bolitho, the assistant secretary of the League, gave a short address, which was listened to attentively, and at its conclusion the speaker received well merited applause. After the programme had been gone through, supper, provided by the ladies, was handed round, and was thoroughly enjoyed. Dancing was then indulged in for a couple of hours. The next social under the auspices a of the A.W.N.L. is being eagerly looked forward to. *** Messrs Brody and Mason will conduct their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and sundries. *** Miss Emily Meredith, surgeon-dentist, of Chapel Street, Prahran, intimates by advertisement that she will receive patients at Mr J. Nott Marsh’s office, Frankston, every Saturday, between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. *** The recently built Municipal tea rooms, which are to be taken charge of by Mrs Jacobs and Misses Laurissen and Myers, are to be opened by the President of the Shire (Cr J. D. Hodgins) this (Saturday) afternoon, at 4 o’clock. The public are cordially invited to the opening ceremony. *** A man named Neil O’Conner, who was arrested

by Constable Montgomery on Sunday last, for being drunk, was fined 5s. On Tuesday the same constable arrested a man, named Thos Bamford, and he was fined 5s for being drunk and 10s for using insulting words. *** Mr T. S. Marshall, Chief Officer of the Country Fire Brigades’ Board, has forwarded the following satisfactory report to the Frankston brigade, after having inspected that place a week or two ago:- There was a fairly good muster for inspection, 11 members out of 16 being present. As this brigade has to depend entirely on its manual engine for fire extinction purposes, I paid special attention to practices suitable for that appliance, and as the night was a fine one we did, all the work outside. My new engine practices for five and three men were explained, and they were carried out intelligently and smartly. The disabled hose practice, which is a good as one for one man, especially for young men to carry out, was entered in too with great keenness. This brigade is under good management. The captain and his officers are capable and experiences firemen, and the rank and file and fire are all workers.

Messrs Brody and Mason will conduct their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and sundries.

The item at the top of my bucket list

By Stuart McCullough TRAVEL – when done properly – is much like warfare. The element of the surprise should always be paramount.

Whether you’re hooking the caravan to the back of the car and heading to Merimbula or invading France, no one should ever know you’re coming.

That’s why you must always begin in the dead of night. The similarities between holidays and ground-based military incursions don’t end there.

As kids, not only did holidays begin with us being ripped from our slumber in the dead of night, we were also forced to wear fatigues and camouflage paint. Little wonder people thought we were weird.

Nothing pleased my father more than an early start. It was as though tearing his family out of bed before the sun had begun to think about rising was an achievement on par with memorising the Encyclopedia Britannica or building a replica of the city of Venice entirely out of used Paddle Pop sticks while blindfolded.

Ideally, he’d want us to reach Albury by breakfast.

Aside from paramilitary clothing, we were each allowed a bag, our pillow and some kind of personal item to make the long journey ahead seem just that little bit shorter. But there was one item that always travelled with us, whenever we left Tyabb and ventured into the far wider world.

As we were buckled into our seats at four o’clock in the morning, our parents would do a quick check. Should we set off without somebody’s tooth-

brush, we could always buy another one. If someone forgot their pillow, that was just bad luck. We could even leave one of my siblings back in the house and – depending on how far we’d already travelled – it was a fiftyfifty proposition as to whether we’d return. But we never went anywhere without an empty ice cream container.

Once it would have held litres of

delicious ice cream. Chances are, it would have been Neapolitan – the most democratic and even-handed of all the ice-cream flavours. But once rinsed, the now-empty ice-cream container would be relocated to the van and re-christened, ‘the Chuck Bucket’ or, ‘the Bucket’ for short.

Oddly enough, ‘the Bucket’ was also the original name given to the Nissan

E-20, before the powers that be decided it would be easier to market an affordable people-mover if it sounded like a strain of e-coli rather than something you might water the plants with.

The Chuck Bucket, however, served a very different purpose and was always on hand in the event that something should go wrong. That’s because ‘the Bucket’ served one purpose and one purpose only – it existed solely in the event that one us should feel like throwing up.

There is something about long-distance travel that never fails to induce nausea. Sometimes travel sickness is caused by foolishly attempting to read when the road is winding or the surface uneven.

On other occasions, we would feel sick because we were forced to consume tablets that were intended to prevent motion sickness but, in an irony that must surely have become apparent during the testing stage, invariably made you want to throw up.

Whatever the cause, the Chuck Bucket was always on hand.

The responsibility for demanding the Bucket rested with each individual. In the event that you felt something begin to stir in the pit of your stomach, you were expected to request ‘the Bucket’. Any such request would set off a flurry of activity in which various brothers and sisters would scramble to find the empty ice cream container and move it in to position before the technicolour yawn had a chance to begin.

However, a request for the bucket should not be confused with a request

FIRST SHOW

to stop the vehicle. Indeed, my father would always plough on, firmly believing that the only circumstance that would necessitate pulling the car over would be to empty the bucket. Until then, it was full steam ahead.

My sister, Rebecca, holds the alltime record in our family. We were heading up to Queensland or driving some other great distance that, by rights, ought to be well beyond a Nissan E-20 and had been woken up thirty-seven minutes after being sent to bed. Our father was muttering something about ‘beating the traffic’ and we were quickly dressed in our fatigues, forced to eat travel sickness tablets and apply camouflage makeup.

Safely buckled up, we began the marathon journey. However, we were yet to reach the end of the drive before my sister requested ‘the Bucket’ and proceeded to send the travel sickness tablets back from whence they came.

Suffice to say, my father had to pull over the car.

When I eventually bought a car of my own, I made sure there was oil in engine, a spare tyre in the boot and an empty ice-cream container in the backseat. At that time, I had no need for four litres of Neapolitan ice cream.

I simply needed a Chuck Bucket of my very own.

It seemed quite an adult thing to do.

These days, I no longer carry an empty bucket in case of emergency.

I doubt my father does either. His ice cream containers now only hold ice cream.

As well they should. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Bow to the King of Sorrento PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully SORRENTO’S AJ King almost single-handedly bowled Sorrento to victory against MT ELIZA in Provincial cricket on Saturday.

The opening paceman bowled 31 overs for the Sorras and finished with 15 maidens and sensational figures of 6/43.

The Mounties were chasing just 175 for victory after their bowlers did a great job last week against one of the league’s best.

However, despite batting 92.1 overs on Saturday, the Mounties could only muster 160.

King was well supported by Nick Davern, who bowled 22 overs for a return of 2/41, while Ryan O’Connor snared 1/33 from 22.1 overs.

The Mounties got away to a superb

start, the opening pair of Ben Tracy (27) and Tom Ewing (55no) getting 64 on the board before King struck.

What followed were four quick wickets and the Mounties were on the back foot at 5/107. Tom Baron offered some resistance at the end but lacked support.

Sorrento maintains its position on top of the table, eight points clear of Mornington and now 20 points clear of Langwarrin in third place.

BAXTER was back to its best with the ball once again on Saturday against old foe PENINSULA OLD BOYS, knocking the home side over for just 162.

Chasing 234 for victory, the Old Boys were never in the hunt, thanks largely to the efforts of Baxter opening bowlers Dale Irving and Adrian Mack.

Irving claimed 3/50 from 12 overs

while Mack was back from his hamstring strain and bowled 20 overs and finished with figures of 3/33.

Ben Smith also snared 3/33 from 14 overs, giving him 10 scalps for the season.

Jon Forrest was the only Old Boys batsman who looked comfortable, top scoring with 44, while Cameron Macauley again proved he was a handy lower order bat, scoring 26.

MOOROODUC was never in the hunt against LONG ISLAND in their match.

Set a whopping 410 for victory, the Ducs were rolled for just 131, the Islanders’ Andrew Tweddle was at his best with 6/32.

The Williams boys, Nick and Ben, top scored for the Ducs with 33 and 32 respectively.

CRIB POINT sits in fourth place on the ladder after smashing MT

MARTHA in an outright victory.

The Magpies were only three runs from victory at the close of play on Day 1 after dismissing the home side for just 118.

The Pies raced to 9/157 off 45 overs before sending the Reds back into bat.

Mt Martha scored just 95 in 46.2 overs in its second dig, Brad Davidson picking up four wickets for the Pies, Glenn Barclay three wickets and Luke Herrington a couple.

Left with just 50-odd runs to score to claim the outright win, the Pies scored 5/60 in 16.4 overs.

RYE was unable to take advantage of the wonderful work from its bowlers in week one of their match against HEATHERHILL. The Demons dismissed the Hills for 125 on day one but were reeling at 3/45 overnight.

Things didn’t get much better on

day two, the Demons rolled for just 116.

At one stage, the Demons were 7/116, needing just 10 runs with three wickets and had plenty of overs in hand.

However, Meagher claimed 3/0 to wrap things up. Of his eight wickets, three were lbw and two were bowled.

Matty Meagher was simply superb for the Hills, the skipper claiming 8/56 from 23 overs, giving him 21 wickets for the season, along with 127 runs, batting in the middle order.

MORNINGTON finished off LANGWARRIN by chasing down the 150 needed for victory.

The Doggies didn’t have things all their own way during the day but did finish comfortable winners, scoring 9/231.

Close attention: Hastings battled back against Carrum to win their one-day District match.

Braves still alive after Flinders win DISTRICT

By IT Gully BADEN POWELL picked up a much-needed win against FLINDERS to keep its District season well and truly alive.

In a very closely contested season after five rounds, the win sees the Braves in the middle order on the ladder, just a game outside of the top four.

Things didn’t look great for the Braves at the beginning of the day, resuming at 3/38, chasing just 123 for victory.

However, a number of batsmen got starts for Baden Powell and it was enough to get them to 179.

Josh Waldron top scored with 36, Blake Hillman scored 24 batting at nine and Sam Mullavey dug deep in the middle order to score 23.

PAGE 60

Flinders used eight different bowlers to try and force a result their way. Matt Burns was the best of them with 4/42 from 19.2 overs.

MAIN RIDGE pulled-off a sensational victory against SOMERVIILE to sneak into the top four.

The Ridge were in all sorts of trouble overnight against the Eagles, resuming at 3/22.

Chasing 190 for victory, things looked grim for the home side.

However, a 128-run partnership between skipper Brendan Rossborough (64) and league legend Gareth Wyatt (76) turned the match on its head.

A couple of quick wickets swung the game back in Somerville’s favour momentarily with the score at 6/167.

But then the home side steadied. Michael Holmes (37) was a handy bat to have coming in at seven and together

Mornington News 3 December 2013

with James Abbott (14), they steered the Ridge to victory.

Jack Kennedy and Russell Wilkes each claimed three wickets for the Eagles.

HASTINGS came from nowhere to pick up the 12 points against CARRUM in their one-day clash.

The Blues batted first and scrambled to 96 after at one stage being 5/15.

Luke Hewitt came to the rescue with 45 for the Blues in the middle order to at least give the bowlers a target to bowl to.

The Lions then lost their final five wickets for 20 runs to fall four runs short of victory.

Isuru Dias claimed 4/16 for the Blues while Mitch Floyd and Hewitt picked up two wickets each. Josh Dent top scored for the Lions with 28.

PINES sits comfortably in the top

bracket after an effortless victory against SEAFORD. After scoring 266 in week one of the match (Ricky Ramsdale 80), the Piners then went about rattling the Tigers’ cages, dismissing them for just 92.

After doing the job with the bat, Ramsdale was at his best with the ball also, snaring 3/17 from 13 overs, while Nick Wilcox and Pat Jackson each took a couple of wickets.

In their second dig, Pines finished at 4/131, Jeremy Weare top scoring with an unbeaten 39.

DELACOMBE PARK sits at the top of the District table after picking up an easy outright win against BALLAM PARK. The Parkers dismissed the Knights for 97 last week and were 1/44 overnight.

The visitors quickly got to 6/195

with Chris Brittain scoring 56, Andrew Christides 32 and Shane Deal an unbeaten 31.

The Knights were back at the crease for just 34 overs before they were rolled again for 81.

Brittain snared 4/33, Brett Chard 2/8 in his return game for his junior club and Virun Singh and Shane Deal two wickets each.

Chris Brittain has 19 wickets and 177 runs for the season.

SEAFORD TIGERS had little trouble getting the 12 points against BONEO. Defending 8/294, the Tigers bowled out Boneo for just 129.

Corey Hand was again superb with 4/25 from 16 overs while David James helped himself to 3/18.

Ryan Jellie top scored for Boneo with 37.

MORNINGTON NEWS scoreboard

No falling for Skye SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully SKYE is in third place on the Sub District table after easily accounting for FRANKSTON YCW on Saturday.

Defending 208 for victory, Skye was always in control of the match and eventually bowled out the home side for 162.

Teenager Jack Greenwood was a shining light for the Stonecats with an unbeaten 70.

Unfortunately for the 18-year-old opener, he ran out of partners along the way.

Luke Hutchison tried to offer some support and resistance, scoring 31.

Rob Bedford was bowled by Paul Fillipone for eight and Jason Bedford was Fillipone’s second victim.

Ben Milano was the best of the Skye bowlers with 3/26, Pat Clinch finished with 3/46 and Leigh Smith and Fillipone snared two each.

Despite the loss, the Stonecats are still just a game outside the top four.

PEARCEDALE kept its season alive by beating ROSEBUD. The Panthers scored 9/203 in week one of their match and their bowlers backed up that good work on Saturday.

The Buds were bowled out for 173, Kaine Smith claiming 4/36 for the Panthers and Shayne Gillings taking 4/54.

RED HILL maintains its position at the top of the ladder after a strong victory against TYABB. In a highly entertaining one day match, the Hillmen batted first and scored 6/164 from its 40 overs.

Simon Dart was the chief run scorer with an unbeaten 69, while Glenn Collett scored 33.

Luke Rus was the best of the Yabbies’ bowlers with 3/20 from seven overs.

The Yabbies started slowly in the chase, losing 4/31, before Steven Hall (42) and Sam Taranto provided them with some hope.

Brent Martin stepped up to the plate for the Hillmen though with the ball, claiming 4/38.

Eventually, the Yabbies were bowled out 10 runs short for 154.

CARRUM DOWNS and DROMANA also played a cliffhanger one-day match.

The Hoppers batted first and would have been reasonably happy with the 4/159 from 40 overs.

However, the Cougars were up for the batting challenge and got the winning runs in the final over.

Josh Harkness top scored for Carrum Downs with 55 and Stuart Putson provided great support with 33.

In the final match, TOOTGAROOK got the 89 runs needed to beat BALNARRING.

Dunes golfers shoot it out for top medal titles THE Dunes Medal, featuring Australia’s best amateur golfers, was held over four days last week at The Dunes Golf Links.

In a thrilling final round, played in testing conditions, Anthony Houston (5 under) from Kingswood Golf Club finished one shot clear of Commonwealth’s Zach Murray and Queenslander Taylor MacDonald (4 under).

Houston battled back from making double-bogey on the 14th by chipping in for eagle on 16.

Australian representative MacDonald then made a double-bogey himself on the 17th to hand the outright lead to Houston which he never relinquished.

Houston followed in the footsteps of past champions including Jason Day, Kieran Pratt and Bryden Macpherson.

In the ladies event world number 2 Minjee Lee from Western Australia produced a stunning performance to win by 9 strokes from Victorian Bianca Ling and another Western Australian, Hira Naveed.

Winning duo: Kingwood Golf Club’s Anthony Houston and Western Australia’s Minjee Lee won the mens and ladies trophies at The Dunes Medal event.
