Mornington News 4 December 2018

THIS time of year is one of the most high-risk times on the roads with many people driving to Christmas parties, end of year celebrations, and heading on holidays for a well-deserved break.

Drivers must remember that travelling during holiday periods can be more risky because of increased traffic volumes, congestion, tiredness, people driving in unfamiliar environments, and a higher number of people who are driving under the influence of alcohol. Unfortunately, road accidents and fatalities over the Christmas period are often significantly worse than the rest of the year. Tragically, a percentage of these accidents and fatalities are often preventable.

Before you, your family and friends get behind the wheel this festive season, make sure you are ready, and able, to drive. Here are a few tips to help you get there safely.

Plan Ahead and Be Flexible. Take the time to plan your trip. Plan which route you are going to take and identify the places you are going to stop and rest along the way. If possible, plan to travel in non-peak traffic and congestion times, and do not plan to drive for more than 2 hours without a break. Take the time to recover at your rest spots.

Be Alert to Changes. Check relevant traffic and travel information when you plan your Christmas/Holiday road trip. This may help you plan a route around traffic congestion and road works.

Drive to the Conditions. “Conditions” doesn’t just mean the weather conditions. Also take into account the traffic conditions, speed limits, state laws, the children in the car, and your ability to drive.

Be Aware of Fatigue. Tiredness is a major cause of fatal accidents on Australian roads.

At this time of the year, many people are driving long distances on unfamiliar roads.

You may choose to leave in the early hours of

the morning to avoid traffic, which means you are driving when your body is programmed to sleep. Australia Wide First Aid advises you not to drive when you would otherwise be sleeping.

Fatigue will set in, and the only cure is sleep.

Identify the Safest Route, not the Fastest.

Some routes are safer than others. Take into account hazards such as trees, ditches, narrow shoulders, potholes and dirt roads. These hazards can contribute to the accident risk.

Don’t forget to take extra caution on higher risk, rural roads.

Before you Travel. Check your vehicle including tyre tread, and pressure, lights, brakes, engine oil, coolant and power steering fluid.

Consider getting a car service before you head off for your journey.

Check your Trailers and Caravans. Ensure all attachments including chains and plugs are secure. If you are pulling an open trailer, make sure everything is tied down.

Be Patient. Holiday driving can be frustrating with busy roads and potentially slower sightseeing travellers. Fellow cars could also be full of impatient children asking “Are We There Yet?”. Be courteous and patient and don’t be provoked by other driver’s aggressive behaviour.

Buckle Up Safely. Seat belts save lives. It is as simple as that. If you are driving, it is your responsibility that every passenger is buckled up before you start the engine.

Remember, You are sharing the Road. Traffic volumes undoubtedly increase during the holiday season. As it is a time for holidays, there are often larger, slower vehicles in addition to those towing trailers, caravans and camper-vans.

Always follow at a safe distance and don’t over take unless it is guaranteed to be safe, preferably using an overtaking lane.

Shire cleans up messy dog laws

Running free: A group of dogs playing on the leashfree beach at Safety Beach.

Building a fence for summer at The Pillars Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is poised to start fencing off access to The Pillars cliff jumping site of the Esplanade, Mt Martha.

The 450 metre wire mesh fence will run parallel to the road between Deak-

in Drive and Marguerita Avenue.

Classified as a temporary fence, the $200,000 structure has been given the go ahead by VicRoads.

Last year the shire failed to get backing for the fence from either the state government of Aboriginal Victoria.

This year the shire sought indemnity from the state government after receiving advice that it could be liable for

anyone injured or killed while visiting the popular spot but by last week’s meeting was yet to receive an answer.

“We have a duty of care to ensure public safety,” the mayor Cr David Gill said in a news release under the headline “Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Closing Deadly Cliff Jumping Site at Mount Martha”.

The news release went on to state

that an “increasing number of young people risk death or serious spinal injury by cliff jumping” from the “highly dangerous cliff site”.

“The consumption of alcohol at The Pillars is [also] a major factor related to reported anti-social and offensive behaviour despite [the shire’s] alcohol ban which cannot be enforced,” Cr Gill said.

Continued Page 8

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s rangers have been using “conflicting” laws for the past eight years when issuing infringement notices to dog owners.

The “discrepancy” was revealed only after “a diligent search of council records”.

To clean up its legal blunder council was last month forced to revoke an order gazetted on 11 February 2010.

Prosecution officer Gustav Cook, in a report to council’s 9 October meeting, said that despite the “absolutely irreconcilable” orders made under the Domestic Animals Act and adopted in 2007 and 2010, all infringement notices issued under them “remain valid and enforceable”.

“Important to note, is that both of the orders are valid, though inconsistent,” Mr Cook stated in his report.

The problems with the conflicting dog rules were unearthed during a review of the shire’s leash-free areas.

One of the problems (revealed by The News and not the shire’s review “Dogs cleared to use beach” 18/9/18) was illustrated earlier this year when it became clear that shire officers were warning dog owners off at beach at Mt Martha North which was actually part of the leash-free Hawker Beach.

The rangers needlessly visited the 70 metre long stretch of sand more than 40 times over the 2017/18 summer.

Leash-free signs have been reinstalled at the beach.

Mr Cook’s October report to council said dogs were required to be on a leash in public places, except for 63 areas where “this requirement is varied, to prohibit dogs completely or to allow them to be off-leash”.

He said council officers would review and audit off-leash and prohibited areas for dogs “including engaging with the public … to address the current issues to control dogs in public places”.

Cancer drivers conned for lift

By Barry Morris VOLUNTEER drivers are angry and disappointed that a woman who didn’t have cancer used a free transport service to get a lift to a Melbourne hospital for an x-ray.

The woman called the Southern Peninsula Cancer Support Group, where some of the drivers are former cancer patients, and asked for a lift to and from hospital.

The woman also requested that the service call her on the day of her appointment to wake her up.

She then asked for the driver to take her dog to a friend’s home so that it would be looked after.

Taking it a step further, the women negotiated with the driver to stop on the trip from Blairgowrie to the city for a cup of coffee that she would need desperately.

“We’ll have plenty of time,” she said.

On the trip up, the woman confessed that she did not have cancer but had been unable to find anyone else to take her to hospital to have an x-ray and see a doctor.

The driver told her that she would take her on this occasion, wait for her and drive her home, but that the service would not be able to take her again.

On the way back, the woman asked the driver to take her to the TAB so she could top up her account.

The driver told her it was either her dog being picked up, or the TAB. She opted for the dog.

The driving service’s principal coordinator Jan Harris said the woman’s

action had placed pressure on drivers who were stretched to the limits carrying up to 50 patients a week.

“We are driving seriously ill cancer patients to hospitals and cancer centres in Melbourne, Frankston and elsewhere on the peninsula - this woman’s action would have cost us $150 in petrol reimbursement and other costs,” Ms Harris said.

“It’s unfortunate that someone should abuse our service in this way.

“It is also a reflection that few alternative transport choices are available.”

A Catholic nun, Sister Carmel McFaull, founded the cancer support service more than 30 years ago.

Sister Carmel, awarded an Order of Australia in 2007, started by driving a young Sorrento woman with breast

cancer up to the city for treatment.

When locals heard of Sister Carmel’s actions, others offered to help leading to the formation of the cancer drivers’ group.

The group desperately needs more drivers and money to help with its work.

Anyone willing to help can ring the group on 0429 624 375.

POLICE presence at schools in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula will soon increase to issue fines to speeding drivers.

A Frankston Council statement said that “due to ongoing complaints and incidents” there would be an increase in police “patrolling local school zones and issuing fines to drivers doing the wrong thing.”

Frankston mayor Cr Michael O’Reilly said “keeping kids safe as they get to and from school is everyone’s responsibility.”

“Reducing your speed from 60kph to 40kph to travel through a 400 metre school speed zone only adds around twelve seconds to your overall travel time. This reduction in speed could save a child’s life.

Most people do the right thing, however some drivers are committing offences with little regard to the safety of children, parents and other road users,” he said.

Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10 kph can result in a $201 fine and the loss of a demerit point.

Exceeding the speed limit by between 25 kph and 30 kph can result in a $443 fine and a three month licence suspension. Failing to stop at a children’s crossing could also lead to a $403 fine.

Federal Libs blamed for lost support Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE failed bid in August by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton and Flinders MP Greg Hunt to be prime minister and deputy Liberal Party leader is being blamed for much of the party’s loss of support on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Liberals Nepean candidate Russell Joseph was last Friday reconciled to accept defeat in an election that saw Daniel Andrews’ state Labor swept back to power with nearly twice the number of MPs as the Liberals.

“It’s all a bit confusing, but I’m not particularly optimistic,” Mr Joseph said as the Victorian Electoral Commission announced the latest voting figures showing Labor’s Chris Brayne ahead by about 800 votes with about 90 per cent of votes counted.

“I’m just waiting for a phone call. I guess I’ve just got to suck it up and see.”

Mr Brayne’s campaign manager Josh Sinclair said late Friday that the Labor candidate “won’t be doing anything until we find out if he’s definitely won”.

Nepean, along with the neighbouring seats of Mornington and Hastings has long been regarded as a Liberal stronghold.

Although they too lost support, David Morris (Mornington) and Neale Burgess (Hastings) appeared to be safely past the winning post after polling closed on the Saturday 24 November election.

Joseph was critical of the events surrounding the Liberals’ federal leadership change in August.

“Absolutely, yes,” he said, when asked if the turmoil had lost Liberal votes on the peninsula.

Last week Mornington MP David Morris blamed the party’s federal leadership woes for losing “less than one third of the swing against us”.

Mr Joseph said he had received emails from “lifelong Liberal supporters” explaining that they could not vote for him because of the federal unrest.

He said he had passed these messages on to Mr Hunt who, after he and Mr Dutton failed to win the backing of their colleagues, was reappointed health minister by Scott Morrison who

eventually succeeded Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister.

Mr Joseph said Mr Hunt’s role in the leadership crisis - “the Dutton-Hunt ticket” - was “particularly felt down here [on the peninsula]”, a problem that he thought would linger and affect the outcome of next year’s federal election.

“Denial is not just a river in Egypt,” Mr Joseph said.

“I’ve been batting for and defending Greg for the past seven months.”

Mr Hunt told The News the state election result was “a very sad and difficult day for the Liberal Party and Liberal voters here in Victoria”.

“People vote for a variety of reasons and I respect and acknowledge all of those. It is absolutely important

that we listen to the electorate and understand the messages and the vision they’re seeking from the party.

“In five of the last six Victorian elections, the Liberal Party has not been successful, compared to six of the last eight elections federally. We will assess the election result, as we do with all elections, while continuing our work representing the people of Victoria.”

Mr Hunt did not respond when asked if he felt his bid to be deputy leader, alongside Peter Dutton, had any effect on Liberal voters on the peninsula; if he had been contacted by Liberal party members or candidates saying they believe leadership instability at the federal level had caused a drop in support; or if he believed he had the same level

of support among his constituents today as he had before the change of prime minister A former builder and project manager, Mr Joseph was seen as the heir apparent for Nepean which had been held since 2002 for the Liberals by Martin Dixon.

Mr Joseph had worked in Mr Dixon’s electoral office for the past six years and was well known in community groups, service clubs and for championing causes for the southern peninsula.

He worked alongside government departments on various projects and was not shy to approach Labor MPs if that was the way to secure support.

He spoke about the need for bipartisan support for long term issues.

“I’m still passionate about the community and would like to see some of those projects comer to fruition. I just won’t be able to drive them as a member of parliament,” Mr Joseph said.

While needing “meaningful employment” he doesn’t want to return to building. His last years in that industry had been stressful, caring for his wife Mary who had had a stroke and “recalcitrant plumbers and electricians”.

“I was project managing at up to eight different sites, which made things really difficult,” he said.

Sitting and waiting for the final bell to ring on this his first bid to gain elected office, Mr Joseph said it was too early to decide on another try.

“At the appropriate time I’ll make a public account [of the election] and apologise and say sorry to all the people that supported me.”

Shire looks for help to avoid deeper pool debt Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have refused to lift the cost cap on the Rosebud Aquatic Centre.

In March, the council capped the centre’s budget at $41.57m, but the latest estimates now put the cost at $46.63m.

The net cost to council was put at $36.57m after taking into account $5m from the federal government, $3m less than was sought.

In a bid to avoid delaying construction of the centre, councillors last week accepted a design for an eight-lane pool and agreed to seek expressions of interest and then tenders from builders.

But they refused to accept the $5m increase and instead will consider a “funding strategy” over the $41.57m cap once tenders have been received.

While no grants have been received from the state government, it has offered the shire a 15year $10 million loan.

The mayor Cr David Gill told The News that fresh applications would be made for state grants next year.

He said the decision to seek tenders from builders was made because delays were adding up to $180,000 a month to building costs.

“There’s so much building going on [elsewhere], that costs just keep rising,” he said.

The design by Peddle Thorp Architects adopted by council is described by the shire’s aquatic centre project leader David Hampton as being light-filled with soaring ceilings and curved roofs that “give the appearance of a sand dune structure along Boneo Road”.

“Breakout spaces and void overlooking the entry creates a sense of volume and entry celebra-

tion,” Mr Hampton stated.

After a similarly enthusiastic description of the building’s exterior, Mr Hampton’s report moved onto costs which, he said, had increased since the 2017 business case.

The original 10-lane pool had risen by $6.5m and the eight lane version by $5.06m, with the details being contained in documents not available to the public.

The pool is so shallow at one end that only experienced swimmers will be able to have a dive start during competitions. And even then they must dive in from the concourse and not from diving blocks.

“For school carnivals, with less experienced swimmers, competitors in a relay race will be required to start at the shallow end, in the water,” Mr Hampton said.

However, it appears the architects have not had it all their way, with Mr Hampton reporting “there remains a difference in professional opinion on some visual presentation elements”.

He said some “key recommendations” had been knocked back by the shire-appointed design advisory panel.

He said the panel preferred timber columns on the aquatic centre’s Boneo Road frontage whereas Peddle Thorp Architects had argued that timber columns was “excessively expensive … give the building a heavy appearance and results in alternate light and dark shading of the aquatic interior space”.

The architects had wanted walls of perforated metal “allowing filtering of interior light, cost efficiency and giving lightness to the building fabric”.

While the architects wanted “the vast interior of the aquatic hall” the panel wanted separate the panel wanted “a series of coffered spaces within the ceiling to express a human scale”.

The pillars to be fenced Continued from Page 1 The shire has also declared a 200 metre exclusion zone for boats and water craft out from the cliff face, although it has admitted there are no resources to police its ban.

There are no plans to stop anglers, divers or sightseers accessing the rest of the cliff which stretches for about eight kilometres along the Esplanade from Mt Martha in the north to Safety Beach in the south.

“Litter, broken glass, vandalism to private property, urinating and defecating in local streets, swearing, fighting and aggressive behaviour have all been reported by residents.

These occur both in the surrounding streets and at The Pillars,” Cr Gill said.

He said it was important the fence was in place for summer.

“A more permanent aesthetic fence that would blend into the environment is the longer-term solution and would also allow for the revegetation of The Pillars environment,” he said.

“Currently, The Pillars operates as a de facto major tourism operation in a residential zone that does not conform with any Victorian government planning, environment, health, pollution or public safety legislation.”

“Over the past three years through social media, the problems at The Pillars have increased dramatically.

“This site has never been set up to support a high level of visitation and, basically, the Victorian government, Parks Victoria and the local community have lost control of the situation as a public safety, law and order issue.

“The site, by its very nature, is a

PAGE 8

Mornington News

major difficulty to both police and also to ensure public safety which is the major reason for restricting access to The Pillars.”

Cr Gill said on receiving legal advice on the major liability faced by the council and ratepayers if someone was killed or injured on the site, the council voted to close The Pillars on safety, legal and law and order issues and notified the government of its intentions.

Cr Gill said the depth of the water at The Pillars “varies, with submerged rocks in some areas”.

“Combined with varying tides which visitors are not necessarily aware of - and boats and jet skis in the water, jumping from these cliffs carries a high-risk of injury.”

Cr Gill said visitors to The Pillars were causing erosion and making the cliff edge unstable and slippery.

Vegetation, the remains of Aboriginal middens and other significant cultural heritage assets were also being trampled.

Vehicles parked on both sides of nearby residential streets were causing access problems in a designated bushfire prone area.

“Access for emergency vehicles, particularly fire trucks, is a key concern for residents and emergency response services,” Cr Gill said.

“Residents frequently find litter on the nature strips and in their gardens. Rubbish bins are currently not provided at The Pillars and public rubbish bins are not provided in the neighbouring streets.

Fixers get toy Ted back on track

THERE was not much of Beth Young’s cycling teddy bear being thrown on the tip, but the mechanical toy is now up and rolling thanks to the volunteer “fixers” at the Mornington repair Cafe.

Ms Young, 94, (pictured) was one of the dozen “clients” who took a broken item to the cafe’s opening earlier this month.

Volunteers experienced in repairing household goods are opening up a repair cafe in Mornington.

The fixers, all experienced in repairing household goods and all members

of the Peninsula branch of Solve Disability Solutions, set up shop at the Mornington Men's Shed on Sunday 18 November.

Bill Hallett said 12 people went along seeking repairs to bicycles, an antique piano stool, a Sony Walkman karaoke tape deck and Ms Young's cycling teddy bear.

A similar volunteer repair workshop is already up and running at Rye Community Centre, following on from the first Repair Cafe which opened in Holland in 2009.

Mr Hallett said the idea of the repair

cafe was to help people keep their items - small furniture pieces to bikes, toys, crockery and computers – in working order and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

The fixers draw the line at repairs to mains electrical goods for safety reasons.

The next open day at the Mornington Repair Cafe will be Sunday 20 January at the Men’s Shed, 91 Wilsons Road, Mornington.

Details for the repair cafes are on the Mornington and Rye Facebook pages or call 0409197307. Keith Platt

Daily water quality SUMMER SALE checks go online THE Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) has started its summer water quality tests at Mornington Peninsula and Frankston beaches.

The forecasts over the next four months will cover eight peninsula beaches and four at Frankston.

EPA chief environmental scientist Dr Andrea Hinwood said last year’s forecasts for peninsula illustrated how conditions could vary from beach to beach.

“Last season, good water quality was forecast for Sorrento beach 81 per cent of time – the second highest score [out of 36 beaches in Port Phillip],” she said.

“But a few kilometres away, Rye beach had forecasted good water quality 72 per cent of the time – among the lowest scores.

“Many different things, like recent rainfall, stormwater drains and the nature of the beach, contribute to water quality.”

The EPA yesterday (Monday) rated water quality on 10 peninsula beaches as being poor and fair after a weekend of mixed weather conditions which included high temperatures (30 degrees) and strong northerly winds on Saturday with rain and south westerlies on Sunday.

Conditions at Portsea, Sorrento, Rosebud, Safety Beach, and Mt Martha were fair, while beach goers at Blairgowrie, Rye, Dromana, Mornington and Canadian Bay were rated poor.

Dr Hinwood said rainfall was a risk to water quality because it washed substances like oils and detergents, and litter and dog poo into the stormwater system, which then discharged into the bay.

“A good day at the beach isn’t just about a sunny day, you should also be checking for good water quality to reduce your risk of getting sick

from water-borne pathogens,” she said.

“Children, the elderly and people with vulnerable immune systems have the highest risk for getting ill from water-borne pathogens which is why we’re calling on parents to ‘make sure it’s ok, check Yarra and Bay’.”

On yarraandbay.vic.gov.au beaches are rated as Good, Fair or Poor. On Fair days, people should check for signs of pollution, such as discoloured water, odour, rubbish and stormwater drains flowing, before deciding whether or not to swim. On Poor days, the water quality is not suitable for swimming.

“EPA’s ongoing advice is to avoid swimming for up to 48 hours after heavy rain as in that time there may be a higher risk of illness from increased bacterial levels,” Dr Hinwood said.

“But we know Melbourne’s weather can go from stormy to sunny very quickly so the Yarra and bay report will provide more localised and timely information to ensure people can safely enjoy as many beach days as they want this summer.”

The twice-daily water quality forecasts will be published online at yarraandbay.vic.gov.au.

Based on water quality forecasts for 1 December 2017 – 12 March 2018: Sorrento had 81 per cent Good days; Safety Beach – 81 per cent Good days; Portsea – 80 per cent Good days; Rosebud – 80 per cent Good days; Blairgowrie – 78 per cent Good days; Dromana – 75 per cent Good days; Canadian Bay – 71.5 per cent Good days; Rye – 72 per cent Good days.

Two locations at Frankston recorded 71.5 per cent Good days; Carrum – 77 per cent Good days; and Seaford – 73 per cent Good days.

Benefits from beached surfers ENTHUSIASM, if not waves, won the day when teams of surfers descended on Pines Beach, Shoreham for the second annual DSAMP Champs contest.

Dressed in “in wild costumes to match the occasion”, the surfers had to be content with beach games in their efforts to compete against one another.

Rod Jones, of the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula (DSAMP) said the “offbeat” competition attracted 15 teams.

Organised by the Peninsula's Maladiction Longboarders Club the event raised $2700 for DSAMP’s surfing days at Point Leo, the second Champs event Champs on Sunday 10 November saw surfers dressed as animals,

pirates, 1960s rockers, 1970s dudes, a “very hairy Snow White with his dwarves, Mexicans, Where’s Wally, monkeys and a banana, superheroes and even a couple of sharks”, Jones said.

“With little to no waves on offer the event kicked off with a series of beach games, ranging from nearest to the pin golf to six–legged races where all members of the four-surfer teams were tied together by the legs and told to run.

“These were followed by a paddle race, and finally a surf expression session, in pumping two foot waves.”

The paddle race with a Mick Pierce semi-gun surfboard first prize was won by Tony Reid.

“The lack of waves turned out to be a bonus, as everyone could be involved all the time rather than waiting around for their surf heat,” Jones said.

Major prizes were drawn from a hat, giving every team an equal chance of winning. A dinner for four at Stillwater Restaurant (donated by Peninsula Speech Pathology Services) was won by the Sea Sirens, a team which also won best costume for its shark suits.

Sponsors included Bass Surfboards, Trigger Brothers Surfboards, Golden Breed Flinders, Jetty Road Brewery, Crittenden Estate Wines, and Dromana Estate Wines.

DSAMP surf days will be held at Point Leo on Saturday 12 January and 5 March 2019.

Arrests after three wild nights of fights at Rye Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au POLICE arrested nine people at Rye on Saturday following a series of drunken brawls that have been connected to schoolies’ celebrations.

Police reinforcements and several specialist units were called to the township following a near riot two weekends ago and a brawl on the pier on Friday night.

While there are few, if any organised schoolie events at Rye, there is no shortage of “schoolies accommodation” being offered for the annual preChristmas visit by schoolies.

After the first schoolies incident on Saturday 24 November the mayor, Cr David Gill said “it shouldn’t be lost in the post mortem of this that the loss of the dedicated Vic Pol youth resource officer team … has significantly changed the longstanding partnership relationships this year and the apparent Vic Pol approach to schoolies in Rye”.

He said the police team had been “absolutely invaluable in providing a positive and problem-solving focused interface between schoolies [and] other youth services” during his six years as a volunteer team leader with the Red Frogs organisation which “provides a positive peer presence in alcoholfuelled environments … and promotes alcohol-free and/or diversionary activities that engage young people in these

environments”.

Police were also called to several “disruptive parties” on Friday night at Rye and Blairgowrie.

It is understood partygoers aged in their late teens to early 20s then moved on to the pier.

A number of people were injured during the pier brawl and were treated by ambulance officers at the scene.

Police media officer Leading Senior Constable Melissa Seach said the crowd at the pier three bottles at police who retaliated with capsicum spray.

While investigations continue, two people are expected to be issued with infringement notices for riotous behaviour.

Police said patrols at Rye had been increased “due to the unruly behaviour recently”.

Specialist units called in to combat trouble on Saturday night included the Public Order Response Team, mounted branch and the dog squad.

Despite the visible presence of police a large crowd gathered at the foreshore with police responding to several brawls and drunken behaviour about 11pm.

Police had earlier declared the foreshore and immediate surrounds a designated area for a weapons search.

More than 30 people were searched for weapons although no arrests were made.

However, nine people were arrested in relation to “riotous behaviour”, pos-

sessing drugs and possessing liquor and being drunk in a public place.

“Those participating in schoolies are reminded to be mindful and respectful of the community and any antisocial and drunken behaviour will not be tolerated,” Leading Senior Constable Seach said.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Tomahawk attack A 24-YEAR-old Mornington man has been charged with armed robbery after allegedly using a tomahawk while robbing a petrol station in Frankston South, 26 November.

The alleged incident occurred a little before 6pm.

Police allege that the male drove away in a Commodore towards Oliver’s Hill.

An off duty police officer allegedly saw the car driving erratically and having a collison.

Police said the followed the alleged perpetrator to the foreshore, where a search was conducted with uniformed officers.

Police said the man fell and injured himself before being arrested.

He was taken to Frankston Hospital.

Police said the alleged robber will be remanded until 4 December.

Play follows 10 days’ work WHILE the plans were made last year, it took just 10 days to transform Tootgarook Pre-School’s outdoor play area into an “amazing, creative and wonderful sensory area for our three and four year groups to explore”.

Director Deb Varkevisser said the school was able to pay for the landscaping with money raised by “our past kinder families”.

Past president, Kylie McGowan was the “key instigator in getting

the wheels in motion, along with our teaching staff, in 2017”.

Ms Varkevisser said administrative manager Robina Locke “communicated with the landscapers and was instrumental in helping bring our dream to fruition”.

The new play area includes a “buddy bench” in memory of Melissa Connelly, a mailbox, stage, water pump, climbing net and sand pit.

There’s no questioning the facts. In a bushfire, most homes burn down due to ember attack. It’s your responsibility to be fire ready this summer, so prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now.

On high-risk fire days, leaving early, before a fire starts, is always the safest option.

Coast guard first in at Rye THE new Rye boat ramp was officially opened on Friday with the Safety Beach Coast Guard boat being first off the ramp and into the water.

The controversial extra ramp was built as part of a major upgrade, with $648,000 from Mornington Peninsula Shire and $588,000 from Transport Victoria.

The mayor Cr David Gill predicted the new ramp would cut boat launching and retrieval times “from 51 minutes to 16 minutes” during the busy season.

While seeing the Rye works an “investment”, Cr Gill said an election policy announcement by the incoming Labor government should reduce the $250,000 spent on boat ramps each year by the shire.

“The announcement of Labor’s Better Boating Fund has now signaled a fairer and more sustainable policy for the boating community with all funds raised from boating registration and licensing going back directly into boating and fishing,” Cr Gill said.

“This commitment will hopefully see the end of the current confused, bureaucratic and inef-

ficient system of funding boat ramps and piers that has wasted resources and been inadequately funded for years leaving local government and their ratepayers funding much needed boating facilities.

“We look forward to working collaboratively with the state government to have this commitment come to fruition”.

Also at the boat ramp opening were Marcus Higgins (Transport for Victoria), Steve Walker (CEO Boating Industry Association Victoria)

and representatives from the marine industry, Rye Lions Club and Simpson Construction Company.

Cr Hugh Fraser said “a lot of hard work” had enabled the ramp to be open for summer.

“The extra boat ramp and renewal of the existing boat ramps was much needed and will make a positive difference to the boating community.

It will ultimately make the area safer for its users and making it easier, quicker and safer to get all watercraft in and out of the water,” he said.

Pool needs cash cap and transparency I came across an interesting news item from 7 June 2005 showing a large colour photo of a beaming former Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO, Michael Kennedy and a headline referring to the future Rosebud Aquatic Centre that read “In the swim for $10 million”.

Come to the present day and we’re still not swimming in a pool, but it’s on the way. If the bloody minded “pro pool on the Rosebud foreshore group” and some councillors had accepted the fact that a pool could not and would not be built on the foreshore, we would have had a pool in one of the more appropriate sites and at the stated cost of $10 million.

The Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association’s main concern now is that when the councillors voted in March for a 50 metre, 10-lane pool they voted to cap the cost at $41.57 million. Suddenly, and without a sod being turned, we find that the total cost has increased by $6 million.

The question must be asked why do we need a 10 lane pool? Pools for the Olympics and Commonwealth Games have 10 lanes but only the inner eight lanes are used in competition so that the hopeful gold medal swimmers on the outside lanes do not get the wash from the sides. For a pool which will only be used for lesser competitions such primary and secondary schools just how important is the wash from the wall? If we have any budding world record champions in Rosebud they could be placed in the middle of an eight lane pool.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the Mornington Peninsula community is missing out on services.

We need a full explanation from the council.

We also demand greater transparency when these outrageous increases in costs are likely to

WIN

occur.

John Cain, president Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents association Editor: Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have adopted plans for an eight-lane pool, reiterated their support for the funding cap while authorising staff to seek extra government support (“Shire looks for help to avoid deeper pool debt” Page 7).

Union persuaders Anthony Misell (“Safe for the Libs, but not good for residents” The News 6/11/18) asks why people in the state electorate of Nepean vote Liberal.

Maybe it’s because Mornington Peninsula residents don’t choose to be led or bought by a union-oriented government.

Brenda Morris, McCrae

Marginal benefits Companies allocate money where it will bring the best returns. It makes sense. It is the same with political parties.

The state seat of Nepean and federal seat of Flinders have been seen as safe Liberal seats.

Hence the money allocated to both these is almost non-existent, despite the hype in the leaflets by our current local federal member [Greg Hunt].

Similar seats to the north of us are almost indecently offered funding, such as the rebuild of the hospital in Frankston, as opposed to the desperate need for a new hospital at Rosebud.

The current hospital is expected to service what the state Liberal candidate describes as having

one of the highest percentages of elderly.

In addition, this area in recent years has attracted many young families because the house and land values are considerably lower here.

Both of these groups are high users of medical needs.

Frankston may not seem a long way away, but when you have a medical emergency it is on another planet.

The solution? Vote Labor and make both [Nepean and Flinders] marginal seats. Then watch the funding flow. We will almost be embarrassed by the largesse.

Ken Norris, McCrae Editor: Latest figures from the Saturday 24 November state election show an unexpected large swing to Labor and commentators are increasingly singling out Flinders as one of the federal seats that could be lost to the Liberal Party in next year’s federal election.

Time for change The Liberal brand on the Mornington Peninsula has shown some small cracks in its entrenched voting base - that of well-off retirees living in a non-urban coastal and relatively secure environment.

Depressingly, a worthwhile candidate for Nepean, Russell Joseph, looked a shoe in to replace [long time Liberal MP] Martin Dixon, but the voters showed that the state government spend under [Labor premier] Dan Andrews, along with the appalling power games in Canberra, left a bad taste.

Even the ever “Mr Popular” [Mornington MP] David Morris had a few dents in his apparent job for life with, dare I say it, the younger voters defacing and dismounting his mug shot political posters around Mt Eliza.

There is hope for the younger voting classes judging by these actions and one can only hope that Dan Andrews, as the confirmed political leader for the next generation now that the Liberal Party has committed hari-kari, can find a socially conscious, environmentally aware and switched on Gen X or Y Labor candidate for Mornington.

Surely the premier can find a clean, high profile media savvy candidate for this important peninsula seat and spend some money to promote him or her against the current mind blowingly boring and powerless situation. The younger generations deserve better.

Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza Community Alliance

Politics of sorrow Couldn’t help thinking [federal and state Liberal leaders] Scott Morrison and Matthew Guy appearing in Bourke Street to pay their respects as a result of the sad killing of Pellegrini’s co-owner Sisto Malaspina was motivated by politics.

Daniel Andrews’ move for a state funeral was equally over the top with the strong hint of political motivations.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Marina surprise Concept plans for twin breakwaters at the iconic Olivers Hill, Frankston overseen by a luxury $6 million building for the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard on prime beach front land, at a cost of $24 million dollars, were sprung upon unsuspecting ratepayers mere days before the 19 November Frankston Council meeting.

This is a massive blowout from the previous $10.5m costing signed off by the CEO on 29 January. And, a further massive blowout from the $14m asked for in a later Future Frankston publication.

Who will pay for ongoing maintenance or repairs; sand loss and renourishment; and costly dredging to prevent silting?

Apparently the new jetty and boat launch ramp, constructed at great cost to ratepayers in 2016 to allow small boats and coastguard vessels to come to shore at Olivers Hill in rough weather, is a flop. Who bears responsibility for this?

Those attending the meeting were left scratching their heads trying to evaluate the myriad pages of complex technical information provided in council’s report. Perhaps unsurprisingly, CEO, managers and councillors appeared light on detail.

LETTERS Continued from Page 13 Location options for a coast guard building were not mentioned. These are limited as council has sold off most of its open public space in the city centre.

Aesthetics? Vistas? Historical and tourism values? Fragile marine ecologies? Cultural heritage sites? No worries. Environmental effects and other studies will come later. Public consultation over the Christmas holiday period is envisaged. Thoughtful timing.

Is the public sufficiently informed about this project and its long-term repercussions on Frankston beaches? Only at a public meeting can these questions be answered by the CEO, council officers and councillors.

Everyone interested should be able to ask and challenge, insist on facts and assurances regarding the future of our precious beaches. Please take an interest.

Joan Cavanagh, secretary, Frankston Beach Association

Pier, not breakwater Why not build an L-shaped breakwater at the end of a long pier at Frankston, like they have in St Kilda and at Brighton Beach?

Frankston has a long coastline and it has the problem of shifting sand. For six months of the year currents erode the beach and for the next six months they move in the opposite direction and bring the sand back.

A breakwater connected to the base of Olivers Hill will interfere with this natural process with unknown results.

A breakwater built out in the bay will not affect the coastline. It will not ruin the landscape.

Dredging will not be necessary.

Frankston Council is already spending money dredging the mouth of the creek and is committed to spend $100,000 a year for the maintenance of the yacht club. We should avoid making Frankston a high maintenance locality.

Far more people frequent the beach at South Melbourne, St Kilda, Elwood and Brighton where there is no coast guard. Does this mean that those councils do not care about safety in the water?

I think that the small number of individuals

who like to dress up in uniform and play harbourside life protectors have had a good run for many years at the expense of the Frankston ratepayers. The state government is going to appoint paid lifesavers on the beach and if the members of the coast guard wish to play a useful role in the bay protecting sailors, then they should work for their money and arrange for the clubs to subsidise them. The building the coast guard wants on the breakwater will be an eyesore.

Paul J France, Frankston South

Invest in creek The people of Frankston have spoken. Despite intense lobbying by Frankston Council and the Liberal candidate for a safe boat harbour at Olivers Hill clearly there is no community appetite for a marina at Olivers Hill.

After 40 years, council is unable to prove beyond reasonable doubt the development will not damage nearby beaches.

This development is not the small and inconspicuous coastal footprint we were told it would be.

So, after nearly four decades and after spending many millions of ratepayer money, council is proposing yet another Olivers Hill marina.

As a community we are really just going around in circles, spending lots of money and getting nowhere. Surely, it’s time to stop the fractious war for Frankston beach.

Unfortunately, while the beach marina proposal stays alive ,the transformation of Kananook Creek, in the town centre, remains incomplete.

The boating safety issue applies equally to the creek and Olivers Hill. The entrance to the creek must be safe and routinely dredged.

Coast guard training is not dependant on Oliver’s Hill and in severe weather, how really safe is it to launch from there?

It is neither good management nor good policy to look at Kananook Creek and Olivers Hill as distinct and unconnected components to boating solutions.

What would the $24 million do for the unfinished creek restoration. How much bigger strategic dividend would flow from that (being directly connected to the town centre) than a not-

so-safe harbour isolated from town at Olivers Hill?

Kananook Creek boating investment has no impact on our much beloved beaches and the spectacular vistas from Olivers Hill.

Robert Thurley, past president Kananook Creek Association

Sounds of spring My garden, driveway and nature strip are all flowers and foliage. There is very little grass and I trim it by hand. I love peace and Birdsong.

However, the people around me love their noisy leaf blowing, edge trimming and lawn mowing. It drives me nuts.

Some days I have to escape the Bedlam.

This morning, for the umpteenth time this week, someone started at 8 o’clock. Not wanting to leave home at 8am I let off steam with this verse: Dreary dreary dreary drone Infiltrating my peaceful home Bloody lawnmower, go away Let me please enjoy my day Here I have no need of you, Where blackbirds sing and pigeons coo.

Peace is beauty – noise taboo.

Evelyn Lawson, Karingal

No road safety The intransigence of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council regarding parking in Tallis Drive, next to the Mornington Secondary College, beggars belief.

It is completely unsafe driving past all the parked cars when another vehicle is driving up Tallis Drive.

The car driving towards Nepean Highway is completely on the wrong side of the road, but council tells me that it is quite safe.

I have asked that three car spaces on the corner be given over to a “safe space” for the vehicle driving down Tallis Drive, but this simple, effective request has been refused by council.

It’s no wonder many people do not have a high regard for the council.

Care for hot dogs Heatwaves and record temperatures are being recorded right across the country, even before the official start of summer.

This is not just uncomfortable – it can be deadly.

Authorities are pleading for motorists to leave their dogs at home or in a cool location. There have already been an alarming number of reports of animals suffering heat stress in cars and backyards.

If dogs are left in a parked car for even a short time, they can die.

On a 30 degree day, the temperature inside a car can potentially rise to well over 40 degrees in less than five minutes. In one test, the temperature rose to 57 degrees in 12 minutes. Any animal left inside that car would be dead.

If you see a dog showing any symptoms of heatstroke – including restlessness, heavy panting, vomiting, lethargy and lack of coordination – get the animal into the shade immediately.

You can lower a dog’s body temperature by providing water, applying a cold towel to the dog’s head and chest or immersing the dog in tepid (not ice-cold) water. Then immediately call a veterinarian.

Please, when it’s warm outside, leave animals at home.

If you see a dog left in a car, have the car’s owner paged at nearby stores or call 000 immediately and never leave until the animal is safe - their life may depend on your actions.

I hope that refugee advocates Anne Renkin and Grandmothers for Refugees are aware that 71 of their desperate illegal immigrants on Nauru have refused to be resettled in the United States.

After five years of “hell” on Nauru I would have thought these “economic opportunists” would jump at the chance of freedom. But it seems they heard that they would have to work and would not receive welfare.

Desperate? I think not. Ken Hailes, Sorrento

Superbly crafted to complement and merge with the existing landscape and terrain, this partially updated home – still with plenty of scope for new owners to make their own touches - boasts spacious living areas on both levels that access expansive wraparound decks that look out across beaches and the bay. Zoned for changing requirements, the lower level comprises a wide entry foyer that sweeps around to the left into a large dining and lounge room that also includes a handy kitchen. Combined with two good-sized bedrooms with built-in robes and a bathroom, this downstairs zone sets up nicely for guest accommodation or extended family.

Moving upstairs and the wow factor certainly belongs to the stunning master bedroom which showcases handsome polished timber floors and a striking decor with art-deco influences. There is access out to your own private section of decking, and the walk-in robe and ensuite will not disappoint either. The timber floors continue throughout the open plan living zone where the lashings of natural light greatly accentuate the already generous sense of space. A beautiful kitchen has a full complement of cupboards and drawers that contrast nicely against the glistening stone bench tops and appliances include a dishwasher and gas stove top. The premium block also has pleasant gardens that embrace a grand oak tree and given the design of the home there is a huge sub-level storage space.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Edward Meldrum writes about the fall of Damascus Compiled by Brodie Cowburn THE following letter was received by Mrs Meldrum, of Somerville, from her son Edward, on active service in Damascus: I have not had much time for letter writing lately. I don’t think anyone had an idea of what this stunt was going to be like.

All thought we would strike some stiff fighting. We started off one night and got within a few miles of the front line, unsaddled for the night and were let into the know of what was going to be done in the morning.

We were all awake waiting for the guns to open up, which they did a while before daylight.

The bombardment was terrific while it lasted. The next thing we heard was cheers from the infantry, when they charged and broke through the Turkish line.

We then waited till we got orders to be ready to move in quarter of an hour.

We were set off at a fast pace which lasted well into the night. The only Turks we saw were prisoners.

After a few hours spell were off, and travelled until midday the next day, arriving at a place just too late to see a charge made by the Indian Cavalry Brigade, which resulted in the capture of over a thousand prisoners.

We stayed at this place for a few hours to feed the horses and ourselves, and then received our marching orders which were to travel twelve miles over very rough country, and capture the general Headquarters of the Turks.

The distance was covered in an hour and ten minutes, a resulted in the capture of eight thousand prisoners

by a thousand of our boys, with only about half a dozen wounded men on our side.

This gave me some idea of what the morale of the enemy was like. In one place I saw four men capture over seven hundred Turks and Germans. It seemed queer to see them give in with very little resistance, just like a flock of sheep.

The next few days found us still travelling, and collecting prisoners.

One night we rode through Nazareth and on to the Sea of Gallilee, and had a borzer time giving the horses and ourselves a much needed wash, after which we moved off again, and were held up for a few hours at the Jordon, as the Turks had blown up the bridges and wore holding the opposite side pretty strong with machine guns, which made crossing rather difficult.

Our artillery, in the meantime, had drawn into position and opened up at a target even the gunners could see, so you may imagine what work they did.

About dark our regiment forded the river, and cleared the opposite bank of what enemy was left.

We all moved on again and up a high hill, covered with big boulders and not even a goat track, and as dark as pitch we reached the top after a few hours climb.

At day break we halted till midday and by this time most were rather saddle weary and took advantage to lie at full length on the ground, or rather rock and thistles of which there were plenty.

At four o’clock we unsaddled and had tea, when word came to move on six miles.

We had a days rest there and were off again to Damascus.

That night we were held up by the Germans, with a lot of machine guns.

They had a beautiful position and hard to locate, so it took some time to clear the road. With all their commanding position, all the damage done to us was five horses killed.

We captured the Germans and their machine guns also two field guns. By this time it was daylight and fast moving was the order of the day.

During the afternoon we came in sight of the outer forts of Damascus.

This brigade had nothing to do with them so we worked round their flank.

It was here that I saw the charge by our Australian boys and resulted in the capture of the forts.

It was a great sight to see and they had few casualties.

We were now within sight of the city and our brigade was playing havoc with the retreating enemy.

We camped that night in the hills and I got more thistle pricks than I could count, but all the same I slept until the next morning.

We moved on to the place where our machine guns had been at work.

I never wish to see again such a dreadful sight, the roads were simply blocked up with waggons, horses and men wounded and dead; it was too awful for words.

We then had the honor of being the first troops through Damascus, which is a beautiful city, but as we only rode through we didn’t have much chance of seeing things.

We received a great welcome by the inhabitants, who lined the streets and cheered all the time.

Some standing on the balconies threw scent over the boys, and grapes, figs and tomatoes were handed to us

IN THE

as we rode by, but like most of good things here they came to a finish.

We left the city and came on to about 3 thousand more enemy, who took a day and a half to collect.

We then came back through the city at night We are resting at present a few miles out of Damascus, waiting to see if Turkey has had enough. *** OWING to the price of chaff having risen, members of the Southern Suburban Master Carriers Association have decided to increase the price of sand from Monday Frankston sand will be 3d a load extra, and pit sand 6d a load extra.

The incidence of the increase is based on chaff at £5 a ton. For every rise of 30s in the price of chaff, the price of Frankston sand will be increased by 3d, and pit sand by 6d a load.

The present price of chaff is £6 10s a ton. The difference in the charges of the two kinds of sand is accounted for by the fact that Frankston sand is carried by rail close to the place of delivery whilst pit sand has to be carted a considerable distance. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son report having sold, through J L. Parkes, one of their auctioneers, acres at the Tyabb railway station (cleaned and fenced) on account of Mr A. S. Krerouse, at a satisfactory price. *** STATE schools will close for the Christmas vacation on 20th December and will resume on 3rd February.

Head teachers of high schools have been advised that they may use their discretion in the closing of schools after 13th December.

The Education department has been notified by the Railway department that tickets at holiday excursion fares will be on issue from 11th December to 2nd January inclusive, available for return until 4th February. *** JUST after lunch hour, on Thursday, as the Frankston and Hastings council was about to resume its sitting, Cr Longmuir received word that his son, George, had died in the Tenth General Hospital, England, from influenza and bronchial pneumonia.

General regret was expressed at the council table.

The President said the council deeply sympathised with Cr and Mrs Longmuir in their affliction, and though dead, the deeds of their son, would live for ever.

He moved that the council adjourn for a quarter of an hour, as a mark of respect to Cr Longmuir.

Cr Oates said that not only the council but the whole community would deeply sympathise with Cr. Longmuir.

The motion was carried in silence, the members standing.

After being rejected twice the deceased was accepted the third time, and has seen some stirring times.

He was on the Ballarat when it was torpedoed, and about twelve months ago was badly gassed.

The last news his father had from him was that he was better, and expected to be at the front again shortly.

The flags in Sommerville were flown half mast during the afternoon in token of sympathy. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 December 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

How to Avoid an Upcoming Copper Conundrum

By Stuart McCullough I WISH it were easier. But there’s no getting around the fact that it’s going to be both monumentally difficult and fraught with danger. I’ll admit I’m concerned. That’s because there’s nothing more worrisome than the look of disappointment on the face of a spouse as they unwrap the anniversary gift you’ve selected for them. This should be avoided at all costs and, much like a shuttle launch, there’s no such thing as being ‘too prepared’. With that in mind, I’ve got just three weeks to get my act together. Time is running out.

Frankly, the odds are against me.

This year marks our seventh anniversary that, apparently, requires a gift made of copper. Or wool. I am at a loss. If only I could travel back in time; say, to 1987 when the store ‘Copperart’ was a ubiquitous presence in shopping malls. I could stride in, my handsome mullet flowing behind me and grab anything, confident in the knowledge that whatever I had selected would be made of a-grade copper. In fact, you could have walked into ‘Copperart’ wearing a blindfold and emerge with something suitable for a seventh anniversary.

Year four was super easy. Traditional gifts for your fourth wedding anniversary include linen, silk or electrical appliances. Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like a robot vacuum.

The ‘Sucktastic 4000’ has given us hours of enjoyment as we’ve watched it roll around the house, alarming the dog before inevitably breaking down and refusing to function for months on end. I suspect sabotage may be involved. The dog is my chief suspect.

The first year was also pretty straightforward. As gifts go, ‘paper’ is setting the bar pretty low. It’s as though someone made a conscious decision not to peak too early. Confusingly, though, wedding anniversary gifts vary from country to country.

In British culture, ‘cotton’ is the first year anniversary gift and paper is the gift in year two; the exact opposite of America. It’s the whole ‘which side of the road do you drive on?’ thing all over again. It doesn’t help.

Both sides of the pond are in fierce agreement over year three.

It’s leather. The great thing about leather is that the options are almost limitless. There’s furniture, clothing,

4 December 2018

footwear or, possibly, a football. For the life of me, I can’t recall what it was I bought my wife for our third wedding anniversary, but I am semiconfident that it wasn’t a brand new Sherrin. Granted, it would have been a great opportunity to claim that I was ‘Sherrin’ the love, but I’m not sure that anniversaries are the best time to make that kind of joke.

The less said about the fifth wedding anniversary, the better. According to a list compiled by the Public Library of Chicago (although I suspect they really should have something better to do), the modern expectation at year five is silverware.

Maybe it was because I was underpre-

pared and in something of a rush that I misread ‘silverware’. Suffice to say that when my wife arrived home from work to find me performing ‘Straight Lines’ by Silverchair on a ukulele, she was underwhelmed.

Year six could easily have been a disaster. According to the internet, acceptable gifts for your sixth anniversary include ‘iron’. I can tell you from experience that such gifts should be made from iron as in the mineral element and not something that takes the creases out of your pants. Woe betide anyone who mixes those two up.

Luckily, it gets easier from here.

Silk and fine linen are the go-to gifts for your twelfth anniversary, which

sounds pretty self-explanatory. I’m especially looking forward to our twenty-fourth wedding anniversary as the designated gift is a musical instrument. Although, by that time, I fear it might be too late. I’m not sure if your twenty-fourth wedding anniversary is quite the right time to request a set of DJ decks.

I’ll admit I’m a little wary of year fourteen. I suspect ‘ivory’ is probably frowned on these days, much like a monkey paw back-scratcher or rhinoceros foot umbrella stand, no matter how long you’ve been hitched.

Luckily, the more acceptable modern standard is gold jewelry. Having grown up listening to Run DMC, I know a thing or two about gold jewellery. Word!

All of which me brings me back to copper and wool. Ideally, I’d find something that combined these two materials but I don’t fancy my chances. It’s unlikely to be clothing.

The combination of metal and textile fibre won’t very comfortable if worn, for example, as a pair of pants but it may well explain where the term ‘seven year itch’ comes from. Even Copperart drew the line at copper trousers.

As I do with these important decisions, I’ve been consulting closely with my wife. She has suggested that we buy an outdoor setting. It is unlikely to involve either copper or wool. Instead, she proposes to add copper staples. This, I feel, could well be cheating. But at least I know it’ll avoid controversy. I’ll consider it a ‘copperomise’. Happy anniversary Kate. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

KINGSWOOD SET TO ROCK THE GRAND THUNDEROUS serpentine space-rock and smouldering falsetto R’nB. Stadium supports for Aerosmith and AC/DC and earnest covers of Destiny’s Child and First Aid Kit. Fly-by-night gigs in war-torn Afghanistan and recurring religious pilgrimages to the woodgrained heart of Nashville.

Welcome to the world of Kingswood. Don’t be confused by the veneer. Like the iconic Aussie car of the same name, it’s all about what’s under the hood.

“We wanted to make something that would rival Abbey Road,” guitarist Alex Laska told Rolling Stone magazine in the throes of their second album, After Hours, Close to Dawn. “I know it sounds insane but if you don’t strive for that kind of thing, what are you doing?

Seriously, what are you doing?”

The goal posts refuse to yield on the Melbourne rock quartet’s third album, currently under construction across four studios in Sydney and Nashville. The first taste, Messed It Up — all sinewy synth-soul compulsion with a restless rock undertow — presages another stunning act of evolution.

“We’re a band that, in a philosophical way, wants to continue to change,” says singer Fergus Linacre. “We don’t want to make the same record twice and the support we’ve received so far has made us realise that we actually can do whatever we want. It’s a great position to be in.”

OK, let’s back up here…

It’s six years since Kingswood first crashed the teeming Australian touring circuit, raising

the stakes for iconic headliners as diverse as the Saints and the Living End with balls-out and belching rock singles like Medusa, She’s My Baby, Sucker Punch and Ohio.

Their debut album, an electrifying act of hard rock sophistication called Microscopic Wars, was made at Nashville’s Blackbird Studio with multi-Grammy-winner Vance Powell (Jack White, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon). It made directly for the Top 10 in 2014, followed by nomination for that year’s Best Rock Album at the annual ARIA Awards.

“In the early days we were like a Led Zeppelin tribute band,” Laska recalled with

amusement at the time, reflecting on how far they’d already come before adding, tellingly: “one of our first projections was to be respected by other musicians.”

It took that kind of ambition to follow up with 2016’s After Hours, Close to Dawn: an exquisitely soulful departure that opened with a 4am piano ballad titled Looking For Love and peaked with the creamy electric piano and jazz harmonies of Golden, the band’s biggest hit to date.

So radical was the reinvention that Kingswood’s own record company thought they were being punked on first playback.

Their fans, meanwhile, held fast and multiplied as bi-annual appearances at Aussie uber-festival Splendour in the Grass escalated from rookie adrenaline rush to confetti-canon ecstasy.

And so to 2018, and a highly anticipated debut appearance at Mondo NYC in early October in New York City, followed by extensive touring (watch this space) through the US and Europe.

Meanwhile, sessions for as-yet-untitled Album #3 continue, with drummer Justin Debrincat, bassist Braiden Michetti and Nashville producer Eddie Spear playing “fifth Beatle” to the band’s creatively democratic, relentlessly expanding visions for the future of rock’n’roll.

Nashville, says Alex “is kinda magical for us. It’s this unique community of creative people, great resources and facilities and opportunities and whether it be people, gear,

instruments, knowledge, atmosphere… it’s just all there 24/7 and we find it all incredibly inspiring.”

“We’re doing this super hi-fi and the songs have gone over really well live,” Fergus says of the new material. “As writers we’ve reached the point where we don’t do album tracks; we don’t do B-sides. Every song is special and we give it everything. I think this record is going to sound amazing.”

“For me, it sounds like Michael Jackson meets the future,” he says. “It’s an amalgam of that kind of creative energy and the sounds of now.”

Alex doesn’t disagree. “We hear a lot of ‘Oh, rock’s dead,’ these days and OK, yeah, maybe in its classic form it is, but the spirit of rock is not dead,” he says. “Rock’n’roll is far more an attitude than it is a style. I feel like if we can take rock’n’roll into the future wrapped in this modern sensibility we’ve accumulated though the ‘90s — hip-hop culture, A Tribe Called Quest, Lupe Fiasco — I mean, that’s a pretty exciting prospect.

“For us, this is a new phase again,” he says. And he fully expects the Kingswood faithful to embrace it. “I think people respect how earnest it is. You can sense disingenuousness. I think people can tell that we’re making music we love. When you get up in front of a crowd, I think that’s the quality people respond to.”

Kingswood will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, Friday 4 January. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

BRIAN CADD AND RUSSELL MORRIS HIT THE FAC in 1997 where he remained for the next 20 years, still rocking and playing to huge audiences nationwide. In 2007 he was inducted into the Aria Hall of Fame and in the same year was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

In 2018 he was award an Order of Australia (AM), which he described as an “amazing different kind of honour”.

Russell Morris’ career started in September 1966 with the formation of the Melbourne group Somebody’s

Image and the hit, Hush. Shortly thereafter Morris was convinced to leave Somebody’s Image for a solo career and his manager/producer at the time, one Molly Meldrum, worked with him to create a sevenminute production extravaganza called The Real Thing, undoubtedly his most anthemic song. The following year, in 1972, Morris delivered the equally beautiful Wings of an Eagle.

In 2017, Russell was also awarded AO (Order of Australia) for his

services to the Arts & Music.

Together, Russell and Brian deliver a dynamic show of not only their hits but also a selection of seventies rock classics that are bound to have the audience singing along with them. They may arrive on stage as 60 year old mates but they turn themselves, and their audience, truly back to 20 year old rockers.

Brian Cadd and Russell Morris will be playing at The Frankston Arts Centre on Thursday 12 February. Tickets at thefac.com.au

Sorrento keep the Doggies on a tight leash

By Brodie Cowburn

PROVINCIAL

SORRENTO have worked hard to restrict Mornington to a total of just 160 in their clash at Alexandra Park.

Defending a total of 205 runs away from home, helped by a brilliant 77 from Liam O’Connor, the Sharks started well to claim the first two wickets of the innings for just 19.

Mornington’s middle order steadied the innings to put their side back on track, but once their wickets fell the rest collapsed quickly.

Jake Wood was the best of Sorrento’s bowlers, taking 4 wickets for 26 runs from his 16 overs.

At Emil Madsen Reserve, Langwarrin’s total of 246 was put under threat in their two dayer against Mt Eliza.

Mt Eliza were struggling at 2/13 to begin with, but recovered well to end up at 2/108 and in pole position for a win. Tim Clarke’s 48 has handy, but it was Justin Grant’s huge total of 95 that put his side in a good position.

Travis Campbell eventually got Grant out just 5 runs short of his ton.

His wicket was taken with Mt Eliza at 5/194. They ended up all out for 219.

Leigh Paterson claimed a five wicket haul, positing figures of 5/45 for the day.

Mornington News

At BA Cairns Reserve, Flinders and Baxter got underway with Flinders having already lost the first innings.

Flinders came in to bat on day two and batted out the afternoon, improving greatly on their first innings total of 76.

Flinders recovered from 2/3 to end the day at 6/208. Blake Hogan-Keogh hit 14 fours to get to 74 runs before retiring hurt.

Peninsula OB performed well to pass their target of 168 against Pearcedale.

John Forrest was in fine form, passing his century and ending the day at 101 not out. Old Boys finished at 6/255.

PENINSULA

BADEN Powell have held on to claim a first innings win over Somerville.

Baden Powell won the toss and elected to bat first. They put together a complete team performance to get to 6/158.

Somerville started poorly and lost their first wicket for just four runs.

From there some of their batsmen made starts but none could make any real impact. They were eventually bowled out for 114, well short of their target.

4 December 2018

On the first day of Red Hill’s clash with Main Ridge, spectators were treated to a phenomenal performance from Simon Dart. He smashed an astonishing 6 sixes and 8 fours on his way to a brilliant total of 108 not out.

Main Ridge were left rocked, and could not get close to their target of 227. They ended up at 7/126 at stumps, well short of a good result.

Pines were prolific at home against Moorooduc, passing their first innings target of 154 with relative ease.

A good bowling performance from Moorooduc’s Robbie Lancaster was not enough, as Pines finished the day at 6/213, taking the first innings.

DISTRICT

CARRUM’S run chase against Delacombe Park proved fruitless in the second day of their clash, as they fell nearly 100 runs short of a win.

Corey Hand came in late and was the best of Carrum’s batsmen, top scoring with just 38 runs. They ended up all out for 130, well short of the required 225 to win.

The Seaford Tigers recovered from a sluggish start to easily claim a first innings win over Seaford.

Chasing 91, Seaford Tigers lost their first 6 wickets for just 73 runs

and looked to be struggling as well.

A stunning performance from the tail saw them get out to 243. Middle order batsman Matthew Roach was the best contributor with 74 runs.

Seaford came in to bat a second innings, and restored respect with a much better total. They finished at 5/252 at stumps. Opener Ryan Mcqueen put together a knock of 82, an improvement from his first innings total of 6.

Rosebud were in grave danger of losing their first innings against Mt Martha, passing their target of 144 with just one wicket in hand.

Rosebud were struggling badly and lost two quick late wickets to be at 9/137. With the game in balance, Billy Quigley held on help claim the winning runs. He top scored for Rosebud with 36 not out.

At Thomas Barclay Oval, Jake Hewitt nearly proved the difference for his Hastings side, but ultimately his 48 was not enough to help his side to a win over Heatherhill.

Chasing 176 to win, Hastings blew their chance by losing their last three wickets for just 2 runs. They ended up all out for 151.

SUB DISTRICT

BALNARRING put together a good team performance to pass Frankston YCW’s total at Peninsula Reserve.

The Stonecats set a total pf 156 on day one.

Balnarring had good performances from many of their batsmen. None passed a half century, but all contributed to reach 9/188 at stumps.

Andrew Kiston claimed five wickets.

At Boneo Rec Reserve, Boneo were relentless as they pumped Rye by over 200 runs in the first innings. Caolan O’Connor’s 91 from 101 balls was a highlight of their innings of 2/266.

Skye got 8/141 in the second innings to restore some respect.

Dromana put together a stunning opening partnership of 150 runs to help themselves to a four wicket win over Tyabb.

Nick Taranto’s terrific ton put Tyabb off to a dream start on day one, but he was let down by a lackluster bowling performance.

Dromana’s Adam Ciaverella put together an innings of 77 runs, while Mark Whitehead contributed 76 runs of his own. Once their wickets fell the middle order toiled away to eventually end the day at 6/235.

Rye had a bye.

Wayne Wallace joins Langwarrin SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN has signed Wayne Wallace from Oakleigh Cannons as it gears up for an assault on the NPL2 East title.

The 33-year-old midfield general has been released from the final year of his deal at Jack Edwards Reserve and is now part of Langwarrin gaffer Scott Miller’s major overhaul of the senior squad.

It is a massive signing for Miller and a clear statement of intent – Langwarrin is targeting promotion to the premier club competition in the state.

If it achieves that goal it will become only the third local club to have done so after Frankston Pines who reached a Premier League grand final in 2003 and Frankston City which last competed in 1982.

“We went hard on Wallace because he brings identity and profile which is what we wanted and the leadership that we required in the middle of the pitch,” Miller said.

“It’s also about the accountability and responsibility that he brings to the table.

“Off the field we want to build the profile of Langwarrin and he’s one of the players that does that.”

Sponsorship has been crucial in assembling Langwarrin’s current squad thanks to main sponsors Premier Builders Group and civil construction company LOJAC along with a raft of lesser sponsors.

Former Langwarrin players Greg Kilner and Craig Hosie have played significant roles as Kilner is the founder and principal of Premier Builders while Hosie is the founder and managing director of LOJAC. Hull-born Wallace has only spent one season outside Victoria’s elite club competition and that was his first season here in 2008 when he was part of the Sunshine George Cross side that won the Division 1 title.

He played in the then VPL with Georgies in 2009, spent the following season back in England before returning for the 2011 season and joining and captaining Bentleigh Greens winning the 2014 Grand Final 3-1 against South Melbourne and the 2016 Dockerty Cup. He also led the Greens to an historic FFA Cup semi-final berth against Perth Glory in 2014.

He switched to Hume City after the 2016 season but joined Oakleigh Cannons midway through 2017.

Wallace is a local as he now lives just a couple of kilometres from Law-

ton Park and has had no trouble adopting Miller’s mantra for 2019.

“I wouldn’t be signing for a club that just wanted to stay in that league,” Wallace said.

“I’m hoping that Langwarrin is heading to the NPL.” The tall Englishman has been doing regular gym sessions under the supervision of Langy high performance manager Alistair Wallace for some weeks now after being assessed and an individual program developed.

“I’ve never done gym work on my legs in all the years I’ve been playing football and everything we’re doing is geared towards strengthening.”

Wallace is part of a large player turnover at Langy and is the club’s 11th new signing if you include Connor Belger who is unlikely to return from

England.

The other signings are Damir Stoilovic, David Stirton, Roddy Covarrubias, Jaiden Madafferi, Jamie Cumming, Callum Goulding, Jordan Templin, Fraser Maclaren and Thomas Ahmadzai.

Robbie Acs, Lloyd Clothier, Liam Baxter, Andy McIntyre, Andy Mclean, Mat Luak, Mehdi Sarwari, Max Boulton, Paul Speed and Michael Kariuki have left the club.

Acs has joined Mazenod as its No 1 keeper replacing Kris McEvoy who has joined Berwick City along with twin brother Paul.

Speed has returned to England, Baxter, McIntyre and Mclean have joined Mornington, Kariuki looks set to join Box Hill United, Boulton is in talks with Frankston Pines and Luak is ru-

moured to have attracted interest from Casey Comets and Berwick City.

Jonny Guthrie has been absent from pre-season training due to cricket commitments and continues to be linked with Baxter as does Nabil Mozaffaruddin who is recovering from long-term injury.

On Sunday Langwarrin announced that John Kuol, Boris Ovcin, Luke Burgess and Dylan Kilner had been retained.

The senior squad remains a work in progress and the club is believed to be in contact with a number of targets.

It’s understood that talks were held with teenage defender Lucas Portelli who has decided to remain at Melbourne City.

Talented trio Ryan Losty and brothers Chris and Kostas Droutsas were

strongly linked with Langy and are rumoured to have received firm offers from the club but they have re-signed with Eastern Lions.

Meanwhile Mazenod Victory has appointed local legend Gus Macleod as head of coaching.

The former Langy boss took on the role after fielding offers of coaching and technical director positions from a number of clubs.

“It’s just Tuesdays and Thursdays working with the coaches and there’s no real pressure attached so I’m really looking forward to it,” Macleod said.

“It’s something to keep my hand in and something I really enjoy having worked with FFV in that area for years.”

In State 1 South-East news Mitch Ball has joined the coaching staff at Mornington.

Ball, 21, has been appointed as assistant to reserves coach Andy Mason.

Ball has coached at Skye United, Bulleen, Langwarrin and Baxter and met with Mason last week to sign off on the appointment.

“It’s a great opportunity to work at State 1 level and with Nathan Peel there and ‘Jamo’ back I knew that Mornington was heading in the right direction,” Ball said.

“I had a good chat with Andy about what we want to achieve and we’ll be working with a young squad and hopefully we can produce players who will go on and play senior football for Mornington.”

In other news Rosebud and Rosebud Heart are in merger talks and both clubs took to social media last week to publicise their discussions.

A merger proposal will be discussed at their next club committee meetings as a precursor to extraordinary general meetings where club members can vote on the proposed merger.

Both clubs wrote about an exciting future in their respective facebook posts but Rosebud struck a note of caution.

Heart posted: “As a committee we are excited about the future this opportunity affords us. We believe one strong, united club on the Southern Peninsula has significant benefits for all involved and together we will be a great force now and into the future for our great game in our region.”

Rosebud posted: “Preserving the history and heritage of our great club is of the utmost importance to us all and we will only move forward on this if the greater good of our club and community will be realised.”

Sons of guns selected in AFL Draft

By Ben Triandafillou THE next generation of footballers made their way through the AFL draft on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 November, with a few familiar surnames among them.

Former Frankston VFA stars Steve Hamill, Paul Williams and Paul Foot all shared the exciting, yet slightly relieving, feeling of seeing their sons get drafted alongside some of Australia’s best up-and-coming talent.

Will Hamill (pick no. 30), Bailey Williams (pick no. 35) and Zac Foot (pick no. 51) will all be heading interstate to live out their dream of playing with the elite in the AFL. Hamill will be heading to the Adelaide Crows, Williams will go to the West Coast Eagles and Foot was drafted to the Sydney Swans.

Will Hamill’s father and newly appointed Crib Point coach, Steve Hamill, said there’s something a little bit special about seeing all of their sons get drafted.

“There was no guarantee of those boys going so it was nice for them to get picked up and it’s great to see a bit of symmetry of the dads who played together 20 years earlier,” Hamill said.

“I’ve watched Bailey develop as a person and as a footballer/sportsman for a long time. He’s a different sort of character to Will but he’s a really nice fella too, and I think he’ll make a pretty good fist of it.

“Zac Foot who got drafted to the Swans, his dad played at Frankston too, so I played with Paul as well who was a fantastic footballer, so it’s nice to see the next generation of boys playing.”

Like many young draft prospects, Will had caught the eye of several AFL clubs leading into this year’s

draft but was still no certainty of being chosen.

“It’s one of those things, you hope as a dad, that he has enough skills and qualities that they’re looking for,” Steve said. “We always went with a hope, but it was never expected, it was a sort of relief I suppose.

“These days a lot of the clubs will talk to lots and lots of kids about their footy, so we sort of knew he was around the mark, but no one ever guaranteed him anything.

“He had a couple of good seasons at the Stingrays but so did a lot of the boys. Probably the two things that helped him a little bit I think was the Stingrays playing in the finals and winning the premiership and he had a pretty good final series which exposed him to the next level. Then when he got asked to the Draft Combine and tested really well, I think that elevated his stocks a little bit but again you never know.”

Will caught the eye of recruiters at October’s NAB AFL Draft Combine, showing off his speed in the 20m sprint with a third-place finish as well as ranking in the top 10 in the standing vertical jump, agility and Yo-Yo tests.

Even with these results, it was still an exciting shock for Hamill’s name to be read out on live television.

“We were just sitting there watching the TV. There wasn’t anything before that in regards to someone ringing up and saying they’re going to pick you now or that it’s going to happen, it was just wait for your name to be called out across the TV really,” Steve said.

“It had been a dream that he had had for a while so in the first sense it was a bit of relief and then all of a sudden pride, and then there’s this sort of surreal feeling.

“Within three minutes Don Pyke had rang and was on the phone speak-

ing to Will and then Rory Sloane rang him, and Tex Walker was speaking to him. He had a big text from Mark Ricciuto and this all happened in the first 20 minutes.

“He went from a kid who’s straight out of high school, literally turned 18-years-old four days before, to getting phone calls from all these people who are celebrities in the football world. His phone was going off the hook and it was just really surreal with everything that happened so quickly.”

There was no time to lounge around for Will and the other draftees, with the boys flying out to join their interstate clubs on the Sunday. “[The draft] was Friday night and then he flew out to Adelaide on Sunday so that’s how quick it was,” Steve said.

“Monday he was training so there’s absolutely no sitting around waiting for anything.”

“Pretty much all the Victorian boys who got drafted were flying out that day so they all sort of shook each other’s hands and said ‘congratulations and good luck’. All the Adelaide boys who got drafted congregated together too so it was sort of nice that there was four or five of them flying out together.

“They’re going to share that journey together, so we feel pretty comfortable with Will embarking on this journey with some other boys who are going to go through exactly the same experience and are going to learn and grow and develop together – I thought that was really comforting.”

Williams and Hamill had played representative basketball together at the Western Port Steelers for the past five years as well as making their

way through the Dandenong Southern Stingrays program with Foot and many other talented youngsters.

The boys were part of the Stingrays’ 2018 TAC Cup premiership winning team that broke the club’s drought and claimed their first ever TAC Cup title.

Also coming from the Stingrays, left-footed forward, Sam Sturt (Fremantle), was drafted at pick no. 17 as well as the speedy small forward, Toby Bedford (Melbourne), at pick no. 75. The rookie draft also saw Mornington’s Lachie Young get picked up by the Western Bulldogs.

In regards to the Stingrays’ program, Steve couldn’t offer anything but a glowing review.

“For Will and our family, it has been a fantastic program,” he said.

“They really looked after him and they developed him to that next level.”

Despite feeling incredibly proud to see his son get drafted into the AFL, Steve only hopes the best for the other talented footballers who fell just short of making it this year.

“It’s such a cut-throat industry,” he said.

“There were six boys that were lucky enough to get drafted this year, but I think Stingrays had a record number of kids invited to national or state combines so there was a lot of good boys who didn’t get picked up but in their own right could have if their number got called out.

“I hope from a football coach point-of-view that those guys stick it out and the great thing about the AFL these days is that you don’t have to be 17 or 18 to be drafted. There’s a lot more pathways now which is great but they’re going to have to just put their head down and keep working.”

Golfing girl has a blast at nationals ROSEBUD Country Club junior golfer, Gracie Larsen, represented Victoria for the first time at the School Sports National Golf Championships on the Bellarine Peninsula on Monday 12 November.

Despite it being her first time competing, Gracie was awarded the honour of captaining the under-12s Victorian side, along with the boy’s team captain, Bailey Goodall.

Victoria ended up coming away with an overall bronze medal from the five-day championships and Gracie’s father, Tom Larsen, said the competition made them “better people, not just golfers”.

“They played awesome as a team and really enjoyed themselves out there,” he said.

“They had no caddy; the parents couldn’t give any advice, they were all on their own. They made a few interesting choices but all round it was a really good experience for them.”

On the opening day, the Victorian girls won the team Ambrose event (nett) and came in six-under the card with “big smiles on their faces”.

The second day was the individual competition where Gracie played another solid round of golf, but unfortunately nothing seemed to drop for her.

“It was just one of those days,” Tom said. “Seven or eight times she lipped out and nothing really went her way.”

Gracie and the Victorian team enjoyed the day off on the third day and ventured to Sovereign Hill where the

kids got to experience the gold mines.

“That was good for them,” Tom said. “All the kids got to hang out and just get to know each other.”

The final two days the golfers got back into the swing of things at the national championships where Gracie and the Victorian girls team topped off their final round with a birdie on the last hole of the competition.

Overall, Tom said Gracie “absolutely loved it” and really made him proud with the way she handled herself as the captain.

“She really upheld her role and I had a lot of people commend her on the way she went about everything and how she kept her composure throughout the entire competition,” he said.

Fellow Rosebud Country Club junior golfer, Molly McLean, also went to cheer her friend on after missing the competition because of injury.

“Molly injured her back a couple weeks before and had to sit out unfortunately but it was great to see her there on the last day with her father,” Tom said.

Girls step out Sailing MORNINGTON Yacht Club is hoping to attract more women into sailing with their new program, ‘Girl’s Out Sailing’.

The program looks at the basics of sailing as well as behind-the-scenes aspects of a sailing club such as volunteering.

Mornington Yacht Club board member, Michelle Pickford, said the five-session program is all about have a good time out on the water.

“Girls Out Sailing was put together to get women and teenage girls to step out into an unreal program,” Pickford said.

“It’s all about socialisation, meeting new people and learning the basic sailing skills to enjoy some time out on the water.”

At just their third session the Girls Out Sailing group entered into the Mornington Yacht Club’s Ladies Skippers race on Sunday 25 November.

“They twisted my arm,” Pickford said.

“We had to change the program slightly, but they all loved it and I think it was great for them to compete against the other general members at the club.

“The experience would have been great with who they have to give way to or if they get to keep going. They were all more than fine about entering the race. We’ve got the right people out there with them and they do a great job making everyone feel comfortable.”

Girls set sail: Mornington Yacht Club is attracting more women into sailing with their new program ‘Girl’s Out Sailing’.

Pickford said the program has worked really well so far because of the “friendly, relaxed atmosphere” that it has.

“You don’t need any prior experience just a little bit of a want for adventure,” she said.

“This was our pilot for the program and that’s allowed us to feel our way through it and everything has gone really good so far.”

The program introduces the women into other aspects of the Mornington Yacht Club as well the basics of sailing.

“It also introduces them to club life,” Pickford said. “There’s more to a local club than the main activity so with our next session we look at volunteering around the club and all the other jobs that go into making the club so great.”

“You might find that you might absolutely love sailing, but you might find that you enjoy the volunteering aspect of the club instead.”

The Girls Out Sailing group has one more session before Christmas and will finish their program with a final session at the start of February.

Edwards’ kiwi galloper ready to Rox and roll BITTERN-based racehorse trainer Kerry Edwards may only have two horses in work at the moment, but the small-time trainer has started to reveal one that looks to have above-average ability on the racetrack.

Edwards saddled up the former New Zealand galloper, Rox The Castle, for his first run back from a spell at Ballarat on Saturday 24 November, where he finished a game second in benchmark 70 class despite “not handling the conditions all too well”.

Having won his first two starts in Australia in impressive style, including a 2.8-length maiden victory, the four-year-old gelding’s return has given Edwards an exciting hope for the future.

“He’s got ability but we’ve just got to harness it and direct it and not get ahead of ourselves,” she said.

“Mentally he wasn’t there when he arrived but I’m really happy with the progression that he’s continued to make.”

Edwards, who also does casual garden work throughout the week, moved to the Mornington Peninsula just over 10 years ago to set up a boutique stable closer to the beach. The smaller sized stable and the hands-on training that Edwards provides is a key reason to why she has be given the opportunity to train horses such as Rox The Castle.

“I actually trained this guy’s mum, Run Roxy Run.” Edwards said.

“Over in New Zealand she showed a lot of ability but she had issues through her back. She hit the ground pretty hard, and as I do a lot of my training on the beach it helps take a little bit of the pressure off the animal in their training and also recovery-wise. So that’s why Tim [Di Mattina] (owner) sent her over to me.

“He’s had a number of horses over the years and if they look like they’ll measure up over here he’s chosen to send them to me thankfully because he likes the smaller set up and provid-

ing more individual attention to his horses.”

Rox The Castle fitted that profile after impressing in trails in New Zealand and while his first and only start over the ditch wasn’t a standout, it had more merit than might meet the eye.

“He had one run over there and it was a bit of a disaster,” Edwards said.

“He was beaten six lengths but when you see what he did, he did everything wrong. His head was up and he was over racing for basically the entire race.”

“When he came to me he used to be hard on the bit and leaned on your hands but this morning down at the beach he was round and relaxed and I thought ‘wow, this horse has come a long way in the short time he’s been here mentally and even physically’. He’s learning to work with you and not against you.”

Since Rox The Castle’s last run, Edwards said that she hasn’t had to do too much work with him.

“He’s not a horse that you have to be hard on,” she said.

“It has all been beach work since last week.

He had a day off on Wednesday and he’ll have a maintenance gallop over 800m tomorrow (Saturday 1 December) at the track and the rest of it will just be beaching before we get to the races.

“I don’t want to over-gallop him and take that natural gate speed away. I want to keep him a bit on the fresh side.”

The Balnarring beach has played a massive role in Edwards training regime and it’s been no different with Rox The Castle.

“Every day’s a holiday for the horses,” she said. “They’re always down at the beach, they’re out in their paddocks –it’s advantageous I think to the horse’s longevity.”

Rox The Castle is likely to line up in another benchmark 70 race at Moonee Valley on Friday night 7 November.

GIFT GUIDE 2018 Volunteers to the rescue with sound boating tips MORNINGTON’S award-winning Volunteer Marine Rescue service, now entering its 36th summer of operation, offers five recreational boating safety tips: 1. Before you go out, check the weather forecast. A calm day can quickly turn ugly on the water. Keep an eye out for changing weather conditions by monitoring the forecast. Check out www.bom.gov.au 2. Always wear a lifejacket and insist your crew and guests do the same. While it is only a requirement to wear one in certain situations, the low cost of automatically inflating PFDs is cheap insurance.

Remember, it’s only a lifejacket if you’re wearing it – and make sure it’s in good condition.

3. Check all safety equipment before heading out. Make sure everyone on the vessel knows where it is stored and how to operate it.

4. Always makes sure you have enough fuel – one-third for the trip out, one-third for the trip home and a third in reserve.

5. Stay with your vessel. In the event you end up in the water, ensure you and all occupants stay with the boat. It is far easier for rescue authorities to find you.

About VMR

MORNINGTON Community Bay Rescue Service, now VMR Mornington and Hastings, was formed in May 1980 when a boating accident occurred within sight of land, and police stood helpless on the cliff top watching one of the occupants trying to reach shore.

By the time a boat could be located, launched and reached the overturned vessel, the swimmer had drowned.

The incident sat heavily on the shoulders of Mornington police who decided not to let it happen again.

The name of the man who lost his life that day, Paul Darbyshire, was honoured when the service named its first rescue craft The Darbyshire.

VMR operates three purpose-built search and rescue vessels, two at Mornington and one at Hastings.

Members assist boaties and other marine users under the direction of water police.

VMR’s mission is “Serving our local community in the protection of life at sea”.

VMR president Col Strawbridge said the service was staffed solely by volunteers, mostly boaties and anglers living on the peninsula.

“Our volunteers all love being on the water and, more importantly, helping others. They respond 24-7 and we can be on the water and underway in about 10-15 minutes,” he said.

VMR is a free service, but each year needs to raise more than $67,000 for maintenance, fuel, a berth at Western Port Marina and other costs.

“VMR has been fortunate to receive grants from the state government for Yamaha engines for its three vessels,” Mr Strawbridge said.

“Our Hastings vessel is fitted with the most advanced FLIR camera, usually found only on police and military vessels.

“FLIR, or forward looking infrared, is invaluable on night searches when people are in the water. It detects thermal heat and is a night vision camera that can ‘see’ 1.2 kilometres.”

For more information about VMR, look up www.vmrmornington.com.au

Keeping boaties safe: Volunteer Marine Rescue volunteers power across Port Phillip near Mornington harbour on one of their boats. The service was founded in 1980.
