Striking chords and hitting notes for cash BUSKERS by the score will be on the streets of Rosebud this Saturday. Musicians and other entertainers have been invited onto the streets and outside Rosebud Plaza for the annual Buskfest. Spots were limited to 35, but organisers say more than double that number applied for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gig, perhaps attracted by the $1000 cash prize. The competition includes performances by solo vocalists, duos, bands, pianists, harpist, African drummers, dancers, jugglers, comedians and quick draw artists. The shows starts at 10am and ends at 1pm. A panel of judges will be out and about among the audiences to see who takes home the money.

Fan following: musicians Lily Short, Madison Bailey and Andy Phillips busk their way along the streets of Rosebud with some of their fans. Picture: Yanni

CFA on the front foot for summer MAIN Ridge and Boneo will be the stage for a pre-summer CFA training exercise on Sunday 22 November. Joining CFA crews will be staff from the Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning and Parks, and a water bombing helicopter. CFA brigades from across the Mornington Peninsula, along with those from as far afield as Casey and Cardinia, will converge on Arthurs Seat to test pre-planning and management to combat a major fire on the peninsula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exercise will simulate a rapidly developing fire starting on the southern side of Arthurs Seat and running south toward,

and into, the Mornington Peninsula State Park,â&#x20AC;? coordinator CFA deputy group officer Tony Riley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus will be on protecting lives and property and managing a large-scale incident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also gives CFA volunteers from different localities an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the topography and vegetation on the peninsula.â&#x20AC;? CFA operations officer Sean Kerr said the training was â&#x20AC;&#x153;critical to our preparation for the upcoming fire season and provides our firefighters with realistic training in what they might come across this summerâ&#x20AC;?.

State brings in councillor conduct laws THE state government has introduced laws to strengthen local government governance and reduce councillor misconduct. Minister for Local Government Natalie Hutchins said the changes would improve the standard of behaviour of councillors, provide a clear process for dealing with misconduct, and empower councils and her to take action against councillors "doing the wrong thing". Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors will be required to sign codes of conduct, and councils will have to introduce procedures to deal with alleged breaches. Allegations of misconduct and "seri-

ous misconduct" will be dealt with by independent councillor conduct panels, which will have the power to suspend councillors for up to six months. The minister has new powers, including the option to recommend to the Governor-in-Council that a councillor be stood down if:  The councillor has been accused of serious or gross misconduct and a panel or VCAT hearing is pending.  The councillor's behaviour represents a threat to health and safety, is preventing council from performing its functions or is inconsistent with the role of councillor.  A municipal monitor recommends that

the minister stand down a councillor. The minister will appoint municipal monitors and can issue governance directions to councils. The changes also prohibit ward funds, also known as discretionary funds, as recommended by the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate. The shire saw the writing on the wall last year and ended ward funds in May but there was a last night of spending that saw $113,934 allocated by councillors to projects such as a rotunda, a war memorial, soccer goal posts, coast guard communications equipment, and $16,000 of improvements to a Rose-

would be progressively introduced over coming months to "ensure councils are ready for the changes". "Since becoming minister, I've heard from councils and communities that these changes are desperately needed. Giving councils and the state government the ability to step in earlier will help ensure problems with councillor standards and governance aren't left to grow." Ms Hutchins said overall misconduct among Victoria's 79 councils was rare but "it is vital that our governance frameworks are robust and ready to deal with misconduct". Mike Hast and David Harrison

bud laneway. Councillors had $10,000 a year to distribute in their wards. That final opening of the fiscal floodgates saw $46,900 spent in Briars Ward (Crs Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and Bev Colomb), $30,500 in Seawinds Ward (Antonella Celi, David Gibb and Graham Pittock), $9737 in Nepean Ward (Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodgers), $6797 in Cerberus Ward (David Garnock), and $20,000 in Watson Ward (Lynn Bowden) $20,000. Red Hill Ward received nothing as Frank Martin was ill and on leave. He retired soon after but was not replaced until a byelection in August elected Tim Wood. Ms Hutchins said some of the laws

New night bus THE Night Network bus starting on New Year’s Day will run from Carrum railway station to Rosebud, with stops at Carrum Downs and Frankston. The new service is part of one-year trial of all-night transport. The Night Network bus sees a rerouting of the existing 970 NightRider bus. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said the service “will allow people in Frankston to enjoy a night out or get to work, and get home again safer and sooner”.

Good cause trivia A TRIVIA night in aid of Lymphoma Australia will be held at the newly renovated Peninsula Room at Mornington Racecourse, Gate 3, Racecourse Rd, 7-11.30pm Friday 13 November.

Follow the trail to find an artist ARTISTS across the Mornington Peninsula are showing themselves as well as their works over the next two weekends. While it’s usually a display of their works, 19 artists are on the map for this year’s Peninsula Studio Trail, inviting the public into their studios to see art in the making. “You can look forward to rooms filled with the smell of drying paints and ink; canvases waiting to be stretched; needles threading; ceramic wheels wet and turning; hot burners burning, and molten silver pouring,” gold and silversmith Katrina Newman

said. Many of the artists will be demonstrating the techniques that make their work so special.” Ms Newman will be demonstrating cuttlefish casting and lamp-worked glass bead making. Recent paintings by Bittern artist Cathie Coleman show “varying aspects of her world”. Her works in waxy oil paints illustrate her memories of such things as a road trip home from Cairns, “significant spots from the local environment, including a peek inside Miss Coles gate at Merricks” and the ever-changing views from, The Swamp, her farm

in Hendersons Rd, Bittern. “These places are just the beginning of my paintings moving away from a realist landscape to include the secrets, colours and feelings that emerge as I paint,” Coleman says. Other artists on this year’s trail include ceramicists Sandi Faulkner and Susie Lawrence who will conduct workshops for children and adults. Marilyn Townsend will demonstrate the art of making textile necklaces and cuffs and painting aprons for Christmas gifts. The Peninsula Studio Trail was started by artists in 2009 and this

year’s decision to go over two weekends will allow visitors to take in as many studios as they want from Frankston to Sorrento, and around Western Port and Port Phillip bays. The studios will open 10am-4pm, Saturday 14 and 21 November and Sunday 15 and 22 November.

Skylift annoyed over shire’s wall refusal Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au SKYLIFT head Simon McKeon has called on the shire council to develop a better process to deal with changes made during the building of the ride and its associated infrastructure including top and bottom stations. His call follows the council late last month knocking back an application by Skylift to alter the type of retaining wall to be built at the bottom station. Last December, the state planning tribunal VCAT confirmed the council’s mid-2014 approval of the project and stated the shire could deal with the 71 conditions of the application, which cover elements such as heritage protection, tree removal, vegetation, environmental management during construction, waste management, and bushfire and emergency management. This process was completed recently. But earlier this year the council decided that all secondary consents, which typically occur during the construction process, must come before the council rather than be approved by shire staff as is the usual practice. Cr Hugh Fraser, who lead the move for councillors to deal with all secondary consents, said because the VCAT had omitted so much detail from its approval late last year, it was the council’s duty to look after the community’s interest by looking at every proposed

change during Skylift’s 12-month construction. “All details should have been in the VCAT order. The tribunal said it had enough information to make a decision and that condition details could be sorted out later. We’re just doing our job,” he said. Mr McKeon said this was wrong. “The VCAT did precisely what the council asked of it. [With secondary consents] being referred back to the council, the problem is that it has decided to take over the role of the expert executive. In its very first attempt, the council has made itself look silly and, indeed, irresponsible.” The company’s original plans, developed over the years, were for a socalled crib wall of concrete blocks that could hold plants. Mr McKeon said the company had now been advised to use DuraHold, a solid block interlocking product that does not hold plants. The council rejected DuraHold late last, claiming it would “have an inappropriate landscape impact and attract graffiti” and Skylift had provided inadequate details of draining. Mr McKeon rejected the claims. “The crib wall system is no longer produced in Victoria as it is rarely recommended in any building application. DuraHold is a safer and better product and it cannot be easily climbed,” he said. It would not attract graffiti as the wall was hidden from public view and its surface was rough and porous. “Graffit-

ists want an audience.” He said it was “not a dam wall” and drainage would not be an issue as DuraHold was “a high-quality retaining wall product with the requisite porosity”. Skylift would have to obtain crib wall blocks from Queensland. He said it was not a cost-saving issue but was simply a superior, safer and “contemporary product”. “DuraHold has been approved by Parks Victoria [which is leasing land to Skylift for the gondola] and has been used extensively at Martha Cove after being endorsed by the shire.” Mr McKeon told The News he was concerned the secondary consents process would delay construction and jeopardise safety. He queried the level of expertise in the council and whether shire staff had had the opportunity to adequately brief councillors. “If what occurred with the wall change application occurs with other likely changes, it could take 90 years to build Skylift, since the review process requires going to VCAT,” he said. Perhaps a sub-committee of the council, which would have time to be educated and be readily available, could deal with secondary consents, he said. Mr McKeon said changes when building a project of Skylift’s scale were standard in the construction industry and they should be dealt with by qualified people. Skylift could be requesting changes every week during periods of peak activity.

Hampers, toys help needy SOUTHERN Peninsula Food for All is appealing for support for its Christmas appeal. The group has raised $4810, well below its $65,000 target. Last year, Food for All provided 516 Christmas hampers to the needy as well as toys to 600 children. This year it again plans distribute hampers and

toys to those “doing it tough”. Collection bins for non-perishable goods are at Woolworths Rosebud, Rosebud West and Rye, Coles Rosebud and Ritchie’s Dromana. All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible and can be sent to Food for All, PO box 440, Rosebud, 3939. Details: Diane Falconer 5988 4353.

Recycling app on line for award A MOBILE phone app providing information about recycling has been nominated for a smart technology award. The Sustain Me app, developed by Mornington Peninsula residents Eleanor Meyer and Stephen Halpin, was put up for a Banksia award on Sunday. They hope that every item that can be disposed of is eventually catego-

rised and listed in the Sustain Me application, with instructions on how to discard it. The app can help local councils reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill. Mornington Peninsula Shire contributed $5000 and is one of four councils backing the start-up. Stephen Taylor

TO the casual observer at Dromana it may have looked like a group of people was having an enjoyable day at the beach. There were some tricky balancing acts on stand-up paddleboards and quickly arranged photos. There was enjoyment and the need for balance, but it was also the arranged announcement of the involvement of “citizen scientists” in monitoring water quality. Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt jumped aboard a SUP to show how water samples could be collected offshore and then, with John Gemmill of the Clean Ocean Foundation measured the water’s PH level.

on an election day), said $400,000 from the National Environmental Science Program would be used for citizens to collect and test water samples. The program would be led by Clean Ocean and the results of this monitoring of sewage outfall flows and pollution levels would be added to a national database. “The program will monitor the impact of sewage on our marine biodiversity,” Mr Hunt said. The program will see “fishers and surfers … become citizen scientists in a major new science project to monitor the impact of sewage on Australia’s marine biodiversity and ecosystems”. “Together with researchers, recreational water users will contribute to a National Outfall Database (NOD),

to be developed in consultation with the states and Northern Territory,” Mr Hunt said. “The research will form the basis of a national collaboration between communities, scientists, water authorities and government agencies with the aim of working together to reduce the pollution load on our marine environment.” Mr Gemmill said Clean Ocean Foundation was “honoured to be asked to deliver the NOD. It is a very important step in the cleaning up of Australia’s coastline”. “Since achieving our crucial goal of the upgrade of the Eastern Treatment Plant that discharged at Gunnamatta, Clean Ocean Foundation has been focusing on addressing outfalls from a national approach, because our oceans know no borders,” Mr Gemmill said.

A fabulous ﬂooring experience

Shire puts out call for budget suggestions RESIDENTS wanting to help shape the way the shire council spends its income can have a say about the 2016-17 annual budget. Mornington Peninsula Shire is again inviting input from ratepayers as it develops a budget, which this time will be affected by the state government's new rate capping rules. Victoria councils are facing the prospect of lower rate income, and will have to show "special circumstances" to increase rates by more than the cost of inflation. Rate capping will be introduced for the 201617 financial year, and the shire will have to find new sources of revenue to maintain or increase services. In one of her last actions before stepping down as mayor, Cr Bev Colomb late last week invited "all of the local community – including residents, businesses, sporting and community groups" to make a budget submission. "It is important to offer this opportunity for the community to provide input to the preparation of the draft budget so that it continues to reflect the priorities identified by our community as well as providing ongoing service enhancements and infrastructure upgrades," she said. "You can submit ideas by post, email or online through the shire's website. Verbal presentations in support of written submissions can be made to a committee of council 6-8pm on Tuesday 8 December at the shire office in Besgrove St, Rosebud." This would also be an opportunity to learn more about the budget and its development process. To make a verbal presentation, register via email to budget@mornpen.vic.gov.au by 5pm Wednesday 2 December.

Cr Colomb said the budget was "part of a long-term process through which the shire delivers programs, projects and initiatives in line with its [2013-17] strategic plan", which can be downloaded from the shire's website or obtained from shire offices in hard copy. She said the strategic plan had been developed by the council "based on extensive input from local communities through our Plan Peninsula community conversations as well as through the development of master planning and service planning activities, which reflect feedback from the community". "The community will have [another] opportunity to comment on the budget during the statutory process later in the year." Mike Hast

Corner, the place to be YOUNG people in the Mornington area have a new place to hang out with the opening of The Corner, a youth resource centre, in Wilsons Rd. The centre brings together a range of youth services under one roof and caters to the needs of yougsters in Mt Eliza, Mornington and Mt Martha. “The Corner will provide a modern and safe space where young people can seek advice and support from a range of youth organisations, including the council’s youth service and Headspace,” Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said. “It will offer drop-in services, fun and engaging programs, youth-orientated activities and school holiday programs to help young people make new friends, build confidence and feel included in their community.” Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the centre was an investment in the future wellbeing and prosperity of young people.

Historic home returns to business Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MCCRAE Homestead has reopened after a short hiatus following the resignation in August of part-time manager Sharon Bowen and nine of its 10 volunteers. The National Trust property in Beverley Rd, McCrae, will be run by members of the trust's peninsula branch until the Australia Day long weekend when it is hoped sufficient volunteers will have been recruited. The resignations were triggered by a change in management style following the appointment earlier this year of a Mornington Peninsula regional manager, Cara-Ann Simpson. In October, then branch president Judy Walsh said the trust was "doing things differently nowadays with more attention paid to things like occupational health and safety". "We have to bring our systems into the 21st century," she said. "The homestead guides have made a collective decision not to adopt a different style of management, as is their prerogative. It is regrettable as the guides take with them their very valuable service and knowledge." The homestead is Victoria's oldest original timber house, built in 1844 on Arthur's Seat Run, the largest lease in the fledgling Port Phillip colony. It is one of few original pioneer properties on the peninsula open to the public. Its historical value is enhanced by the diaries, journals, music books and paintings left by homestead designer

History business: McCrae Homestead has reopened after most of its volunteers quit in September. Marking the event on Sunday last week were the National Trust’s Mornington Peninsula regional manager Cara-Ann Simpson, new peninsula branch president Peter Holloway, and shire councillor Antonella Celi.

and original resident Georgiana McCrae. In a statement, Ms Simpson said branch members would assist "at the property on Sundays until Australia Day 2016, while other peninsula property volunteers are assisting with weekday bookings and property maintenance". She said the trust was "moving beyond the traditional house museum structure" for its four peninsula properties – McCrae Homestead, Endeav-

our Fern Gully at Red Hill, The Briars Park at Mt Martha (jointly managed with Mornington Peninsula Shire), and Mulberry Hill in Baxter. "Site, operational and educational improvements and developments" were occurring at all four properties, she said. Ms Simpson said she had a diverse background including being an art and history curator, gallery manager, artistic director for a notfor-profit electronic arts organisation, artist and farmer.

"For McCrae Homestead, we are developing new education programs" as well as "an edible Indigenous garden and kitchen garden". Anyone interested in volunteering at McCrae can call National Trust head office on 9656 9800 for information. • McCrae Homestead is open Sundays 11am-4pm with guided tours at 11.30am, 1pm and 2.30pm. The property is available for group bookings, private functions and weddings.

Racing club's $4.8m 'new spaces' MORNINGTON Racing Club's $4.8 million facilities upgrade was opened by state racing minister Martin Pakula at the Peninsula Cup on Sunday last week. The redevelopment includes a "multifunction" area, deck and new pavilion, which is adjacent to the mounting yard and track, and provides a new place to watch racing. The government contributed $2.34 million to the project from the Victorian Racing Industry Fund, and Melbourne Racing Club tipped in $2.77 million. The Mornington club merged with Melbourne Racing Club in 2010. Mr Pakula said racing in Victoria generating more than $2.8 billion in economic activity and supported more than 26,500 full-time jobs. He said the industry fund returned unclaimed wagering dividends and on-course wagering taxes to the industry, and allowed the three racing codes, clubs and other key stakeholders to "have a say in growing Victorian racing". It funds projects and initiatives at tracks in Victoria, supporting jobs, improving animal and participant safety, and increasing integrity measures. "The refurbishment will make Mornington Racecourse the largest events centre on the peninsula, making it a great event space for the community," he said. Melbourne Racing Club CEO Brodie Arnhold said the new areas "provide improved facilities on race days" and "a new function space for the community on non-race days".

NEWS DESK Breakfast to help cancer research A PINK Ribbon Breakfast fundraiser for the National Breast Cancer Research Foundation was held at The Flinders Golf Club, Tuesday last week. More than 100 people attended to show their support. Microbiologist Barbara Porter spoke at the breakfast, and a raffle and silent auction of items and donations helped raise $7512. The foundation is the leading community-funded organisation in Australia raising money for research into the prevention and cure of breast cancer. Host Monica Holland said since the National Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1994, more than $115 million has been awarded to more than 400 Australian-based research projects. Survival rates for breast cancer have increased from 76 per cent to 89 per cent. The foundation raises funds for research into the most effective ways to end breast cancer and for psychosocial research aimed at improving the quality of life for survivors. “With 42 people diagnosed each day and seven dying from the disease, there is still much to do,” Ms Holland said.

Community march A WESTERN Port Takes a Stand community march will be held Wednesday 25 November. All are welcome to show support. The march will leave the Victoria St, Hastings Post Office car park, 11.30am. The march will be followed by speakers and a free barbecue at Hastings hall. Details: 0429 978 916.

Stalwarts: Fourteen of the 15 recipients of 2015 Flinders Seniors Awards with Flinders MP and environment minister Greg Hunt (centre back row in suit). Picture supplied

Awards for ‘backbones of community’ SOME of the peninsula's longestserving community volunteers have been recognised with Flinders Seniors Awards. The awards were started six years ago by Flinders MP Greg Hunt who told a gathering at Rosebud RSL late last month that his awards recognised "the significant contribution our older residents make in the community". "In my electorate I am privileged to have many older residents who dedicate an inordinate amount of their own time to assisting others in the community," he said. "These volunteers are the backbone of our community, unsung heroes who dedicate countless hours to helping others without expecting anything in return." Awards went to (selected roles in brackets): Ann Lorkin (Flinders

District Historical Society, Shoreham CFA), Bernard Woiwod (Rye Historical Society, Probus, St Vincent de Paul, Food For All, Rye cemetery trustee), Bob Donaldson (Dromana Rotary, Riding for Disabled, volunteer driver), Eileen Murray (Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad), Elaine Wallbridge (Rosebud Police Senior Citizens Register). Elizabeth Lloyd (breakfast program at Rosebud Secondary College, schools religious education coordinator), Florence (Vi) Moore (Dromana Seniors Citizens, "aunty" to camping children), Frances Henke (post-polio syndrome activist, publisher, meditation teacher), Kath Barker (Rosebud Police Senior Citizens Register). Margaret Mildern (Western Port Community Support), Marie Parkin-

son (dancing school pianist, Neighbourhood Watch, police senior citizens registers), Mary Griffiths (community bus driver), Pamela Rowler (Dromana Football Club, Probus, Dromana-Red Hill RSL, CFA, Guides, Dromana Primary School, debutante ball instructor, National Serviceman's Association), Tom O'Dea (Alcoholics Anonymous volunteer, family violence activist) and John Harvey (Mt Martha Life Saving Club). Frances Henke, who contracted polio in 1946, used her acceptance speech to promote Polio Awareness Month and efforts by the post-polio syndrome community to win greater recognition and government support. "We are faced with huge challenges following introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Most post-polio sufferers are too old to qualify as NDIS cuts out at 69.9 years," she said. "This means aged care services must be trained to provide affordable home care and equipment needs for people over 65 with disabilities. "With an estimate 400,000 polio survivors in Australia, we are the largest physical disability group, yet Polio Australia gets no government funding. It is providing clinical studies for health professionals, information support for polio survivors, and health and wellbeing retreats for 'polios' but spends too much time fundraising. Imagine what it could do if properly resourced?" She said doctors needed to be trained to recognise the symptoms of post-polio syndrome. Mike Hast

MP’s office a drawcard for protests COMMENT By Keith Platt THE Hastings office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt was again “occupied” and under siege on Friday by environmentalists concerned by the federal government’s pro-coal policies. As Environment Minister, Mr Hunt has become a main target of protests, most recently in response to his reapproval of the Indian corporation Adani’s Carmichael coal mine in central Queensland. The protesters are concerned by the mining of coal and its subsequent use contributing to greenhouse gases as well as threats to the Great Barrier Reef by ships carrying the coal from terminals at Abbot Point. Although most federal ministers are subjected to protests, Mr Hunt, because of his portfolio, seems to attract more than his share of public criticism – both outside his office, in the media and, especially, social media. As well as entering his office, protesters are increasingly climbing onto its roof. They come prepared, using ladders to gain access. Last month it was a group of women from Climate Guardians dressed as angels, on Friday two women and a man holding a banner dubbing Mr Hunt as Minister for Coal. The trio wore hard hats. The Australian Federal Police is now looking at stepping up security at Mr Hunt’s office because of the additional safety risks to protesters and staff, Mr Hunt’s electorate communications officer Samantha Robin said yesterday, Monday. While the protests outside his office are not usually attended by a large number of environmental campaigners or covered by mainstream media, their message is potentially far reaching as videos and stills are quickly posted on the internet. Just about every decision by Mr Hunt is disputed and dissected on social media platforms.

For the record: Protesters on the roof, street theatre below. Protest activities outside the Hastings office of Environment Ministrer Greg Hunt are all recorded and quickly packaged to be spread on social media.

Inner sanction: Protesters are now a regular sight inside Mr Hunt’s office and have in the past disputed his claims that his staff had been intimidated. Pictures: Yanni

Perhaps most worryingly to Mr Hunt, many of protesters live in his electorate – they are not just bussed in for the day. Certainly an issue has become “local” when members of a small yoga group decided to stand on their heads to persuade Mr Hunt to overturn his re-approval of the Carmichael mine (“Group goes heels over head against coal mine”, The News, 27/10/15). When Mr Hunt recently accused protesters of intimidating his staff, those involved were happy to be identified and quick to provide their side of the story. The two men who carried coal into the minister’s Hastings

office, who both live in the Flinders electorate, contacted The News and denied that intimidation had occurred. They said police were present and would have intervened if anyone had been threatened. Next year’s federal poll is being touted as a “Facebook election” with political parties being able to target specific voters on issues of personal interest. However, the very nature of the internet and quick response available on social media may water down the effect of the money being spent by the parties on Facebook advertisements. Mr Hunt left Australia on Sunday

for Paris to attend ministerial level talks leading into the climate change summit, which will be attended by the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. He was not in his office for Friday’s

protest, but earlier in the day was happy to be on safer waters with a stand-up paddleboard at Dromana to promote water quality testing with members of Clean Ocean Foundation.

LETTERS Fire in waiting The largest problem with this issue is public apathy and lack of education and council inaction (“Fire: a catastrophe in waiting”, The News 27/10/15). Mornington Peninsula Shire has regulations regarding fuel loads and clearance but appears to do nothing in the way of policing or enforcing their own regulations. I live in McCrae on the side of Arthurs Seat. It’s a beautiful spot and I love it here. But some of the blocks here are never cleared. When I clear mine I am frequently abused for causing too much smoke. Also mentioned [in the article] were safe havens. Here, the only possible safe haven - which is council maintained - has so much vegetation that it is more of a hazard than a haven. A haven is needed, as there are only three escape routes from this area and they run either across or parallel to the freeway. The freeway is where a fire may start. When we get a fire here it is going to be bad, very bad. John Shorter, McCrae

Tree shortfall Earlier this year I wrote suggesting the problems of growing 20 million trees (plants) throughout Australia to fulfill the requirements of Direct Action (ERT) would take considerable organisation. The publication Ground Swell has pointed out that 20 million trees, planted a10 metre centres would fill a circular area 26 kilometres in diameter. Take a map of Greater Melbourne and with the centre at Dandenong, 26km diameter would take

PAGE 12

you through Mt Eliza, Cannons Creek, St Kilda and Mt. Evelyn. To fight our Co2 emissions, that area would be sufficient for Australia according to [Flinders MP and Environment Minister] Greg Hunt. Ground Swell has also calculated that the actual number of trees required to meet the policy objectives according to CSIRO would be 15 billion trees. Greg Hunt has claimed over 65 times the Co2 absorption rate than the CSIRO figures. Take a map of Victoria and Australia and see how small a 26km diameter circle would cover: a mere dot on the full map of Australia. I wonder what the rest of the thinking members of the Climate Conference in Paris would think if the Australian representative produced such a map as Australia’s solution. Add the plans for a massive mine in Queensland to produce black coal which will add millions of tons of Co2 to our atmosphere. The above indicates just how out of touch our Minister for the Environment is with reality. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Coal is costly Alan Reid ("Unreliable Energy”, Letters, 3/11/15) appears to have an ideological rather than an informed approach to climate change and renewable energy. The economic, health, and environmental impact associated with the extraction, transportation, processing and combustion of coal conservatively triples the price of coal-generated power, making renewable energy economically competitive (New York Academy of Science February, 2011). In Australia the adverse impacts from coal-

Southern Peninsula News 10 November 2015

fired electricity are estimated to be $2.6 billion (Climate Change Council report, 2014). In Europe, the health impact of coal-powered electricity is 43 billion Euros ($61 billion). That sum includes 182,000 premature deaths, 8500 new cases of chronic bronchitis and more than four million lost working days. Dr E A S Sarma, former Secretary to India’s Ministry of Power, says coal is not the answer to India’s poverty. It contributes to 80,000-115,000 premature deaths and 20 million new asthma cases annually. It is also responsible for around 40 per cent of the greenhouse gas emissions (The Guardian, 7/8/15). By some twisted logic Australia is going to risk its own environment and export its coal to India. Maybe Mr Reid will be inspired by Morocco where solar energy plants will store solar produced energy, making 24/7 solar energy possible. Of course we cant just stop burning coal tomorrow as Mr Reid rather naively implies, but being so firmly wedded to coal has prevented Australia from exploring exciting possibilities for renewable energy that would create wealth and jobs. A decision that in the future will leave us an impoverished and discredited nation. Finally, as Mr Reid seems rather fond of using the term “greenie” in an apparently derogatory way. I am not a member of any political party, just a citizen who cares about the future for Australia and for the future of my children and grandchildren. Geoff Selby, Moorooduc

Alternatives’ turn Yes, Alan Reid ("Unreliable Energy”, Letters, 3/11/15), renewable energy is more expensive

than dirty coal or other carbon driven energy production, but only if we ignore the devastating effects of global warming on the world’s economies and the future displacement of hundreds of millions of people. In a world of climate change denial, this all will not come to pass and we can keep on as usual. But we need to be turning our energy production to the more sustainable sources of wind, solar, thermal solar and wave energy. The coal fired energy sector has for years promised nonpolluting energy from coal, but seem to be incapable or unwilling to invest adequate resources to developing such a beast. The argument that nuclear energy is the solution is just as misleading. The solutions for taking care of the byproducts of such energy production can still not be taken care off without lumbering future generations with the responsibility and ensuing cost of storing these dangerous materials. The cost of this is of course left to the public purse after the energy sector has made it's stash. Mr Reid's assertions that there is no 24/7 renewable energy system available, is misleading at best and plain wrong. He should check the Beyond Zero emission website bze.org.au and I'm sure he'll find a lot of answers to his questions. It should be clear to us all that if we keep going the way we always have, the cost of not attempting to slow our emissions will cost our society a great deal more than we can imagine. To keep on pandering to the carbon lobby and climate change deniers, will be at humanity’s peril. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring More letters Page 14

LETTERS Change is coming You have to smile at the climate change deniers out there. They remind one of an ostrich with their head stuck in the sand, trying to look up their ancestors. Apparently, there are only puffs of steam coming out the La Trobe Valley, so all is right with the world. As long as nothing is happening in their area for the moment, there is no climate change. The sea level is rising in the Pacific Ocean, putting remote low lying island nations such as Kiribati and the Marshall Islands in danger of inundation. In fact, small parts of some islands have been flooded already. In Mexico, they recently experienced the most powerful storms ever recorded anywhere. According to meteorologists, Australia can expect the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godzilla of all El Ninosâ&#x20AC;? this year. The waters in the Great Barrier Reef are warming and slowly killing the reef. Add the pollution run off from mines and farms and we have a huge problem. The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, not to mention the glaciers in Greenland and other places. May I suggest that the deniers remove the scales from their eyes. We owe [former Prime Minister] Tony Abbott or, for that matter [Flinders MP and Environment Minister] Greg Hunt, no apology. Speaking of Mr Hunt, his time is nearly up to get the PenBus funding returned. John Cain, McCrae

Doubling up Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with dismay and concern that I read the convenient rhetoric forwarded by [Liberal Nepean MP] Martin Dixon (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bay Trail â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;factsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wrongâ&#x20AC;?, Letters, 3/11/2015) where he managed to avoid any reference to the fact there will be already be a suitable safe bay trail just some meters away. This additional bay trail on the foreshore could potentially remove more than 50 per

cent of the vegetation along narrower sections of the foreshore. We must remember that this segment of foreshore is very narrow, unlike those in surrounding areas such as at Capel Sound. References to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;meandering trailâ&#x20AC;? and some â&#x20AC;&#x153;boardwalksâ&#x20AC;? by Mr Dixon are mutually exclusive with a dual carriageway pathway which, under current standards, would require some four metres width of vegetation removal. Projects such as this often have a very questionable level of governance and I draw reference to a recent bay trail clearance issue in Kingston, along the bay, which prompted community outrage and an appeal to VCAT against the terrible level of damage inflicted on their foreshore. The community has been asked to provide comment on a map which provides only two lines (drawn with a marker pen) through the foreshore. The level of transparency is questionable and we request that the community are fully informed of the pathway details, level of vegetation removal, dune grading and provide coastal impact assessment statements. The community values the natural character of the foreshore and for Mr Dixon to promote this risk upon our coastline is an extremely disappointing position. Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Pay rise deserved I have been a council â&#x20AC;&#x153;basherâ&#x20AC;? for some 10 years now and have gained a certain amount of notoriety on the subject, so it comes as no surprise that many of my â&#x20AC;&#x153;followersâ&#x20AC;? have asked what I think of Mornington Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new CEO. My response has been one of guarded optimism but I am now ready to go out on a limb. I can see more than superficial changes

taking place, such as his approach to customer service and the $700,000 saving in insurance costs. Carl Cowie has saved the shire millions of dollars and is working on containing costs without sacrificing essential services. Changing the culture of a local government bureaucracy is a monumental task but I believe that Mr Cowie is up to it, as can be evidenced by his culling much deadwood from the bureaucracy Our councillors need to develop a set of measurable key performance objectives then get out of his way and let him get the job done. They can then get on with other important issues, like holding meaningful ward meetings and listening to their constituents. They might even initiate some of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best practicesâ&#x20AC;? of community engagement that they seem reluctant to do. I believe it is about time for his performance review and I doubt that many will complain about a very nice pay rise. He is turning this place around and deserves it. I understand that his pay is at the bottom of the pay scale for CEOs in shires of more than 100,000 citizens and this gap should be narrowed significantly. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach Editor: It is understood councillors have already reviewed the CEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position and are likely to lift his current $324,000 salary package to more than $375,000.

ARGUABLY one of the most complete rural properties you will ever see with nothing but the finest inclusions to accommodate a business-lifestyle combination. Developed over the past five years, the 2 hectare estate will perfectly suit tradesman operating on a massive scale or a storage and warehousing facility with an accompanying fleet of heavy vehicle transports. The impressive infrastructure consists of a staggering 650 square metre factory with high span ceiling that is complete with office and toilet amenities, a mezzanine storage level and a spray and extraction booth. Adjoining this building is a 72 square metre boat

shed with environmentally safe wash bay – there is a 150,000 litre water tank storage with irrigation system, plus surface storm water drainage and mains water to the home. Surrounding the main factory is about 1500 square metres of hand stand yard with parking area serviced by a second gated driveway. The formal entry to the property is via a high-speed automatic gate that leads to a three-car garage alongside the main home, and a double garage under its roof line. Built in 2010, this handsome brick residence offers three living zones focused around an open-plan kitchen and meals area. To either side is a fantastic lounge and

rumpus room – which has enough space for a billiard table, and a family room is a bit further on. From the rumpus room is a pleasant alfresco outdoor dining room which can be closed off from the elements, or opened completely to fully appreciate the stunning entertaining deck that runs the length of the home. Measuring about 720 square metres ( 77 squares), the home also has four bedrooms – three have built-in robes and share the main bathroom, with the larger main bedroom set towards the front of the home boasting a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with spa bath.

DETERMINED TO RIDE HIS BIKE AGAIN Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Mauricio Munoz from Aspendale. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the proud father of 3 fantastic kids whom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever meet (Imogen 21, Lex 18 and Rhen 16), Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been married to Michelle for over 20 years.

However, on a relatively warm evening in July 2013, my whole life was turned upside down in a space of a few seconds. , ZDV LQYROYHG LQ D KRUULÂżF DFFLGHQW that has led to countless surgeries, a stint in ICU for 12 days, 15 weeks in the Royal Melbourne Hospital followed by ongoing rehabilitation. In a careless act, I was struck by a truck at 80km/hr whilst cycling home from work. It was the night before my daughters 19th birthday. At that point the doctors and surgeons braced my family for the worst. They predicted that my survival rate was minimal. Having shattered my pelvis, severed my renal artery (leading me to be bleeding out rapidly), severed several arteries to my kidney, broken my sternum, 6 ribs, a compound fracture to left ankle, a fractured left lower tibia, a fractured eye socket and broken teeth, they decided an induced coma was the only option. My gorgeous wife drove daily to Royal Melbourne Hospital to be by my side for 15 weeks. My beautiful daughter attending university, working part time and playing mum to her younger brothers, 13 and 15 years

of age at the time. Despite all this my family stayed strong, we kept each other sane during the ordeal.

In December 2013, I was transferred to St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital as an outpatient and introduced to Senior Physiotherapist Brigitte, whom I owe so much to and give much credit for helping me get to where I am today. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget the day I met Brigitte. She was just everything I expected from a Health Professional and MORE! Brigitte treated me with humility and as a friend instead of a number. As a true professional, from the get go we discussed the recovery program and set â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;realisticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goals. This was to ensure I knew exactly what I needed to focus on and importantly, to ensure I took stock of my progress. This process was extremely valuable to ensure I kept myself in good mental health. Throughout the time I was under her watchful eye, she was constantly assuring me that all the aches and pains would improve over time and I would be able get on with my life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; open a new chapter in my life. 7KH ÂżUVW PRQWKV RI UHKDELOLWDWLRQ treatment consisted of two sessions a week Hydrotherapy (the warm water was so welcoming to my aching bones and muscles), balancing exercises, walking between the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ballerinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bars, joint movement manipulation, muscle strengthening (upper and lower body),

occupational therapy, hip and core strengthening and remedial massage. As I became stronger and mobile, Brigitte introduced me to Jorgen, another Senior Physiotherapist, to ensure my recovery process stepped up another notch!

The biggest challenge I found through my recovery was that I was impatient and I did not think the rehabilitation process would take so long. Two years on and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to reach milestones no one thought was possible. Brigitte, Jorgen and everyone at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital were so supportive and their care was second to none. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve have permanent nerve damage to both of my legs from the knees down but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fortunate to be alive. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m walking not like before but none the less, mobile and the fact that I have little to no feeling in my feet and still able to walk is an incredible miracle. , VXIIHU HYHU\ GD\ IURP VLJQLÂżFDQW amounts of pain and I still struggle to comprehend how anyone could hit another human being and fail to stop at the scene. However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m determined to move on and every time I feel down, I remember Brigitteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice in my head asking me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you

In recognition to all the help Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received in the past 2 and half years and in desperately trying to reach closure, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to embark on a challenge of a life time.

Sore Feet or Legs?

Expert help for foot & leg pain, injuries & arthritis OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, but are often ignored. We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on some common foot and leg concerns and things to be aware of:  The most common foot and leg concerns include: heel pain and arch pain which are often diagnosed or misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis; knee pain, injuries and arthritis; as well as shin and ankle pain  A large number of foot and leg concerns are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated so its important to find an experienced and appropriate practitioner to assist them. A musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist is usually the best person to assist.  Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, which can contribute to much; ankle, shin, knee, hip, back and neck issues.  Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet.  Scientific research clearly demonstrates the direct effect chronic foot pain can have upon both your physical and mental health, largely due to the high amount of nerve endings in the feet.  Traditional treatments such as cortisone and anti-inflammatory medications have now proven to have the capacity to delay healing and cause further tissue damage.  Foot and leg problems left untreated almost always get worse, however most foot and leg concerns can be assisted quite easily and effectively with appropriate treatment. “People often endure painful conditions for

too long, they assume nothing can be done or receive inappropriate treatments that may provide some immediate relief but don’t address the cause, which is vital for successful, long-term healing,” says Foot & Leg Pain Clinics musculoskeletal podiatrist Dr. Tim Kirwan. “With correct diagnosis and treatment there is usually an effective, natural solution for most foot and leg pain. We can even aid soft tissue repair and regeneration to assist injuries and arthritic concerns thanks to the latest medical research and treatments”, he says.

Stay Tuned Hearing MY name is Robin Tu and I am the local Audiologist for the Peninsula Community. I would like to share some of my experiences with everyone. Throughout my eight years of clinical experience, I have seen many types of hearing weaknesses caused by a variety of reasons. The most common cause that I observe in my daily work is still the natural aging of our hearing. The gradual decline in our hearing can dramatically impact our quality of life, making even the simplest activities in our day more difficult, which can eventually make us feel less inclined to socialise with our family and friends. However, in recently years, I have noticed an increase in the number of clients experiencing hearing loss from not wearing satisfactory hearing protection in a noisy work environment. As a result, they now strain to follow everyday conversations at home with their family. Many of those clients reported that they regretted this as they could have prevented their hearing loss if they knew to wear hearing protection earlier. In fact, it has been found that since 1950 to the present, the average volume of music has increased by 39%! As an analogy, our hearing is like a ‘glass’ and the daily noise is ‘water’. So each noisy activity that you do: from the loud music at the gym to mowing the lawn, is all adding ‘water’ to the ‘glass’. The glass can only hold a certain amount of water before it overfills and pours out, which means the noise has caused temporary damage to our hearing. If these noisy activities are frequent enough then it

will result in permanent damage. So even our lives are noisier. Of course, it wouldn’t be very practicable to wear hearing protection all hours of the day, but it highlights the importance of getting our hearing regularly checked and monitored. At Stay Tuned Hearing, we will look after your hearing needs by offering comprehensive hearing assessments and 30 days hearing aid trials (if required) with no cost and no obligation.

Do you sometimes struggle to hear in noisy places? Miss what’s being said in group conversations? Help is at hand. Robin Tu, your local, trusted audiologist is ready to discuss your hearing needs. Limited spots apply. *Terms and Conditions apply

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Two brave young lads lose their life Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE Langwarrin branch of the Red Cross Society report a steady response to their appeal for funds, over £5 being contributed for the last month. At a working bee arranged by Mrs Williams, of Ruperstan, an average attendance of twelve assisted in making sand bags for the trenches. *** A welcome home social will be tendered to Private E. A. Berry, who has returned invalided from the front, and also a farewell and presentation will be given to Gunner Wm Evans, who has enlisted, on Saturday, 20th inst, in the Langwarrin Recreation Hall. *** REV Adamson, of Melbourne, will preach in the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next, the occasion being the Sunday School Anniversary. Three services will be held, when there will be special singing by the children. On Monday night there will be the usual anniversary public meeting, in the Church. The children will provide the programme and a good time is expected. *** THE Peninsular Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. is a growing industry locally. No fewer than three men are permanently engaged at the Frankston branch, and two at the Mornington branch. We hear that an up-to- date plant is about to be installed at one of the Company’s Garages, and each employee is a first rate mechanic, as well as being careful

and steady drivers. *** A meeting of the Committee of Frankston Sports Club was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday evening, when there was a good attendance. Dr Plowman was in the chair. The principal business was the formulating a programme of events for the New Year’s Day meeting, the principal of which are:—Sheffield Handicap of £15 5s 220 yds handicap of £8, 75 yds handicap of £4 10s, Flag Relay race £3, two log chopping contests of £8 and £4 10s respectively, two bicycle events of £6 10s and £3 10s respectively. A meeting of ladies to arrange for the refreshment booth will be held in the Mechanics’ at 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening next. *** NEWS has been received that two of the brave lads who volunteered for service from this district have succumbed and given their lives in the execution of their duty. We refer to Private Victor Robert Jondahl, son of Captain and Mrs Jondahl, of Langwarrin, who died on the 2nd November at Malta Hospital, and Corporal Leonard H.Flood, of Mornington, who died on the 22nd October, at Heliopolis. Wheeler Frank Shepherd, son of Mr G. Shepherd, of Somerville, has also been invalided from Malta to England. Wheeler Shepherd took part in the historic landing at Gallipoli and was in the fighting line for about five months when laid low by sickness. *** THE State School Amateur Athletic

Association held their Championship Sports; on the Melbourne Amateur Sports Ground, on Friday last. From the “Argus” we note 4000 spectators witnessed the various contests, for which there were 2000 entries. The State School Championship of Victoria was won in fine style by J. Heagney who has won the Boys Race three years in succession, at the Frankston Athletic Sports. Little Clem Heagney,at the same meeting, also won, the under 13 years State School Championship Victoria, over the 120 yards distance. The Heagney boys ran in the nomination of the Middle Brighton State School and this is the first year a Brighton school boy has won the Championship of all State schools. Although the youngest boy running in the Championship events, at the Meeting, Jack Heagney proved unbeatable on the day, and won the long jump championship, the 120 yards championship, and the 220 yards championship, as well as the championship of the Meeting. A splendid photo of John Heagney appears in last week’s issue of the Weekly Times, and we note that he is a nephew of Mr F. Jolly, the ex-consistant Victorian runner, and the winner of the Melbourne Hardware Plate, and many first class Victoria Handicaps, including the Frankston Sheffield Handicap, and also the Frankston and Bendigo Easter Fair 220 yards events. *** ON Saturday evening, the 6th of November, the many friends of Mr Geo

Denyer assembled by invitation, at Mr Girdleston’s house, Frankston, to express their pleasure at Mr Denyer’s promotion to a higher position in the Railway service. During the evening, Mr Gale in presenting Mr Denyer with a smokers’ outfit, and Mrs Denyer with books where he expressed his pleasure and satisfaction of a 20 years’ association as fellow workman and friend. In the Railway service Mr Denyer’s services in the interests of his fellow man were recognized by his genuine expressions of regret at his loss, and pleasure at his promotion. Messrs McGrath, Croskell, and Nichols ably supported Mr Gale’s remarks. Mr Denyer, in replying, thanked all for their kind expressions towards his wife and himself, both by word and gifts. His time in Frankston had been a pleasant one, and regretted his departure from it and his many friends he had made. But there was always the satisfaction of meeting old friends, an opportunity he would gladly avail himself of. Musical items were contributed during the evening by Messrs Wastill, Croskell, and McCombe, Miss F. Girdlestone being the accompanist. A hearty vote of thanks, moved by Mr Gale to Mrs Girdlestone, for her kindness in supplying the room and piano for a very pleasant evening was carried unanimously. *** MORNINGTON Junction Miniature Rifle Club.Much spirit was infused into this live club on Saturday last as

the first shoot for the gold medal (presented by Mr Walsh) took place. The excitement and rivalry was too much for some members who in practise have been looked up to as top notchers, for they went to pieces. Mr G. Scott, a young member, was the winner for the day, showing that by the system of handicapping adopted, it is possible for a junior shot to win against the more experienced. As the medal has to be won three times before becoming the property of any one and that on each win the member loses one third of his handicap, some exciting and keen shooting is looked forward to. The latest home illustrated papers and games were provided and outdoor sport indulged in the afternoon proved a pleasant one. More residents of the district are joining and all are welcome. *** THERE was a good attendance of workers at the Recreation Reserve on Saturday last, when further progress was made in getting the ground in order for the Boxing Day sports. Afternoon tea was again provided by the ladies. The Sports Club committee held a meeting in the evening, when it was decided to hold a concert in aid of the Patriotic Fund on Boxing night, 27th Dec, the Mechanics’ committee having patriotically foregone their usual concert on that date, and granted the hall to the Sports Club.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Happy birthday to me. Sort of. By Stuart McCullough YOU can only deny it for so long. That’s because there’s no clear line between ‘youth’ and ‘middle age’ as such. One day, you’re young and swanning along in skinny jeans with a ridiculous haircut and enjoying the latest that modern music has to offer. Then, before you know what’s happening and with no warning whatsoever, putting on skinny jeans is like trying to stuff a sausage, your ridiculous haircut owes less to flamboyance than it does to a chronic shortage of material and modern music does not so much make you want to dance as it does want to rip your ears off. It’s time to face up to the bitter reality: I am no longer young. In truth, I’ve been aware for some time. But that doesn’t stop me from feeling a tiny bit sorry for myself. I probably feel this way every time I have a birthday. Come to think of it, the whole ‘birthday’ racket is probably to blame. When you think about it, it’s ridiculous that we celebrate getting older every year. I can understand it when you’re little: it means presents and cake and family. But at a certain age, birthdays feel more administrative in nature. In an ideal world, birthdays would be celebrated less frequently, preferably in five-year increments. Realising that you’ve reached that magical tipping point after which pretty much everything is about a gradual decline is about so much more than merely the physical. Granted, there’s nothing worse that catching an accidental glance of your increasingly

decrepit visage and recoiling. But if you, like me, have destroyed every mirror you own, there are other indicators you can use. For me, at least, there were plenty of signs to indicate that I had officially (and irretrievably) crossed over. Vinyl. By which I mean small, circular objects onto which you lower a

needle and they produce music. Without any warning, I woke up and was obsessed with vinyl. This relatively recent development makes no sense at all. Sure, there was a record player in the house when I was growing up, but we weren’t allowed to touch it, lest we should damage my father’s extensive collection of recordings by the

Randy Van Horne Singers. By the time we were old enough to be trusted, we weren’t interested; preferring cassettes instead. When compact discs came along, I was happy enough to abandon vinyl without a second thought. Who was to know that, thirty years later, CDs would be good for not much more than resting your drink. Now I am obsessed with the stuff. Push comes to shove, I might even prattle on about sound quality and warmth and whole bunch of other malarkey that even I don’t really believe. It means I end up spending hours trawling through second hand shops, trying to find anything by The Randy Van Horne singers in mint condition. Video. The first time I clapped eyes on a video recorder, it seemed nothing short of a miracle. Forget flying to the moon – the ability to record episodes of ‘Cop Shop’ whilst watching ‘The Love Boat’ surely ranks as humankind’s crowning achievement. I couldn’t tell you when I last watched a video. I’m not even one hundred percent certain that I still own a VCR. What I do have, though, are plenty of videotapes. Boxes of them. Kids today have no idea. They’re lucky if they know what to do with a DVD, must less a videotape. Precisely why I’ve kept my collection of videos is somewhat beyond me. Perhaps it’s because they represent some of my best work. I cannot help but flush with pride whenever I think of the time that I managed to perfectly edit out the ads during a screening of ‘Stalag 17’. It could have been the work of a professional. Young people fail to ap-

preciate what videotapes represent and how controversial they could be. Only once our school curriculums include ‘VHS versus Betamax’ as part of the history syllabus will the youth of today properly appreciate the conflict that threaten to tear this nation apart. Perspective. Young people look a lot younger than they used to. This becomes especially apparent when you’re out at night. Whereas once, everyone looked like you did with only the occasional older person floating in the crowd like a geriatric crouton, now nobody looks old enough to drive. Luckily, I have no interest in going out and staying up late, preferring instead to a cup of decaffeinated tea and a repeat screening of ‘A Touch of Frost’. On those occasions when we do decide to push on past ten o’clock and go and see a band, we inevitably need a nap first and are lucky to make it half way through the set before we each turn to the other and agree that we have ‘made our point’ and can leave early. Maybe it’s time to embrace it. So long skinny jeans – it was nice knowing you. So what if I look as though I’m part through transforming into the Incredible Hulk? Or if hats are no longer a mere fashion statement but a necessity due to a lack of hair? Or if I can remember the 1980s and still have the occasional ‘acid wash flashback’? Deal with it. I am happy to have reached an age where candles on a birthday cake may activate the smoke alarm. Happy birthday to me. Woo hoo. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Southern Peninsula News 10 November 2015

Presented

By David Hawkins DO you ever have trouble getting your kids to go to bed? Justine Clarke understands and she just might have an answer to your problem. The all-round Australian talent and popular children’s entertainer is currently travelling the country with her 2015 show, the Pyjama Jam! Tour, following on the heels of the launch of her fifth album, Pyjama Jam; an album of songs focused around the witching hour(s) for parents. “I really wanted to make a lullaby album but not one that assumed that the child was happily in bed and ready to sleep,” Justine explained. As a parent of three, Justine is well versed in the challenges of the nightly bedtime routine, “There is quite a fractious energy at that hour of the night,” she said. “My six year-old fights every aspect of it (going to bed).” And, like so many other Aussie parents, she often uses music to help soothe her kids through the ups & downs, “I think that the journey to bed can be quite a long and difficult one, so I wanted to make an album that went from bath time to bed time.” One of the songs on the album, Bobby The Tractor, started life as a homespun tune that Justine wrote for her youngest. “I used to sing it to him as a lullaby but now it’s this really guitardriven, rock & roll song.” The new version is a favourite of her own kids and even the actor playing the farmer in the video clip is actually Justine’s Uncle Bobby, the original inspiration. “He has a farm and he has a tractor. I must have

been sleep-deprived,” she laughs, “because he’s not a tractor. The Pyjama Jam! Tour will be appearing at the Playhouse Theatre, here in Melbourne, but this is a different experience than her previous concerts, “This year we’re playing in more intimate spaces,” Justine revealed, “so that all of the kids have a much richer experience.” While larger auditoriums are the norm for kids’ concerts, she acknowledged that some areas of those spaces offered less connection than seats at the front. The Pyjama Jam! Tour seeks to change that. “I really want this to be a special experience… An opportunity for preschoolers to go to their first live music concert which, I feel, can make a really lasting impression.” “Because it’s a soothing album, it’s also a soothing show. You can wear your pyjamas, you can bring your cuddly toy,” says Clarke. But she’s not just talking about the children; parents are also encouraged to get into the energy and slip on their comfy PJs. “There’s no bells and whistles; the kids and their engagement with the music are the bells and whistles.” The Pyjama Jam! Tour show will be at the Play House Theatre, Melbourne Arts centre, on Sunday 15th of November for four shows – 10am, 12pm, 2pm & 4pm. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster (136 100) or through the Arts Centre (1300 182 183). For more information visit www.justineclarke. com.au/tours

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Old Boys reign supreme PROVINCIAL By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys sit on top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after knocking over Long Island comfortably on Saturday. Chasing 157 for victory, the Old Boys cruised past the total three wickets down and finished the day 6/212. The Old Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top order all pretty much got going except for skipper Matt Hyden who was caught behind off Jake Middleton for 16 after banging a four and six. Dylan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley scored 40 at the top of the batting line-up, Wade Pelzer opened with 33, Eivion Bowen hit 46 and Will Crowder continued his outstanding start to the season with his third straight half century, batting at five. Crowder has 168 runs for the season in three innings.

Simon Dignan was the most successful bowler for the Islanders with 2/39 from nine overs. Crib Point moved inside of the top bracket after inflicting Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second outright loss in just three matches on Saturday. Magpies stalwart Glenn Barclay broke club records the week before with his destructing 9/24 off 18 overs, setting up the commanding win. The Demons were already staring down the barrel after the first dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play when they were all out for 67 in their first innings and two wickets down in their second, still 13 runs behind Crib Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick fire 6/106. There was no luck on day two for the Demons either. Rye made 126 in their second innings, Tom Baron top scoring with 65, while Harrison Wilson made 16 batting at nine. With more than 60 overs to make more than 85 runs, the Magpies got

there six wickets down. Adam Keulen at the top of the order made 47. There were some nervous moments for the Pies in the chase, losing five batsmen for less than 10 runs. Brad Davidson strode to the crease and took control. Langwarrin and Somerville played out a draw in their one-day match on Saturday at Lloyd Park. The Kangaroos batted first and mustered 182 in their 40 overs. Jake Prosser top scored for the home side with an unbeaten 72 while club star Mal Coutts was back in the First XI and scored 33. Kangas skipper Travis Campbell was the key to holding the powerful Somerville batting line-up to an equally 182. Campbell bowled 10 overs for just 19 runs. Matt Prosser was also outstanding with 4/39 from seven overs after

opening the batting with 26, while Jake Prosser also picked up a couple of valuable wickets. Somerville was locked on 182, seven wickets down, after 40 overs. The draw sees Somerville remain in second place on 32 points, four points behind Peninsula Old Boys, while Langwarrin is knocking on the door of the four with 20 points. Morningtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s James Latham scored an unbeaten 101 and Brad McDonald hit 54 in their big win over fourth-placed Sorrento. The Dogs finished at 6/201 after their 40 overs. Sorrento recruits Bobby Wilson scored 52 and Ben Tracy 51 in the chase, however, the Sharks were bowled out for 167. Nick Jewell, who has hit well over 200 runs this season, was run out for a duck. Jack Heseltine picked-up 3/39 for

the Dogs, while Michael Heib and Luke Popov snared two wickets each. Mt Eliza successfully defended a 111 runs total against Baxter. Resuming at 6/74, Baxter failed to get the total. Todd Quinn added four runs to his overnight total and Leigh Paterson added 15 (25). At one stage, Baxter looked the goods at 7/93. However, they lost 3/2 to be all out for 95. Mt Eliza batted again and finished at 4/157. Pines picked-up the win against Moorooduc, winning by 45 runs. Defending 187, Pines bowled out the Ducs for 142. Jarryd Bailey top scored for the Ducs with 29. Craig Entwhistle was sensational with the rock for the Piners with 5/51 from 18 overs while the star that is Ricky Ramsdale picked-up 4/50 from 34 overs.

Peardale panthers escape capture DISTRICT By IT Gully PEARCEDALE remains in equal top spot on the MPCA District ladder after getting out of jail against Seaford Tigers. The Panthers were defending an ordinary total of 128, however, did have the Tigers on the back foot early, resuming at 1/7. The Tigers started extremely well with opener Jon Plakourakis scoring 25 and Aaron Mountney contributing 18. The visitors were cruising at 1/42. However, within a blink of an eye, that score line dropped to 8/66. The Tigers were bowled out for 81 in 43.5 overs. Kain Smith and Shayne Gillings were superb for the Panthers with 4/7 and 4/20 respectively. After snaring 5/57, Jordy Watters made 13 batting at 10 for the Tigers. Pearcedale went out to bat again and finished at 3/65 with Shane Maggs (27) and Chris Dew (31) both unbeaten. Carrumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disastrous start to the season continued on Saturday after they were smashed by Mt Martha. Resuming at 0/5 after the Reds set them 177 for victory, the Lions lasted just 54.5 overs before losing the match. John Mitchell top scored at the top of the innings with 27, while Cory Foster made 18 and Liam Dobson 14 at the bottom of the order. Mt Martha skipper Curtis Stone was superb for the winners with 5/33 from 19 overs. Kyle Bendle snared 2/11 from 7.5 overs. Red Hill maintained its dominance over the competition with a strong victory over Boneo. However, the Hillmen didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have things all their own way. The Pandas certainly set the Hillmen a challenge, scoring 182 on day one. The Hillmen resumed at 0/10 and looked extremely shaky at one point when they were 4/27. Simon Dart (0) and Matt Merifield were both back in the sheds. Things became a little worse when

PAGE 50

Andrew Mock went with the score on just 44. However, Riley Shaw took command with 96 and Brent Martin stuck around also with a more than handy 60 to take the score to 223 from 79 overs. Sean Spencer picked up three wickets for the Pandas while Cam Williams and Daniel Wilson claimed a couple each. Delacombe Park is just percentage out of the top four after beating Main Ridge. The Parkers batted first and made 4/184 from its 40 overs, Jon Guthrie opening with 64 and Joel Malcolm scoring an unbeaten 65. Ash Walker hit a valuable 26 in the middle order. Luke Collins (2/23) and Gareth Wyatt (2/35) were the only Main Ridge wicket takers. In reply, the visitors were bowled out for 174. Travis Barker did everything he could to get his side over the line with 86 but no other batsman could stick around long enough to get the additional 11 runs for victory. Once again it was Shane Deal who stepped up to get valuable wickets, claiming 3/33. Flinders took a massive scalp on Saturday, knocking over Seaford by more than 70 runs. Defending 8/242, Flinders bowled out its more fancied opponent for 169 in just 48.5 overs. Ryan McQueen (27), Paul Hartle (21), Chris Cleef (41) and Dil Pageni (42) flew the flag for Seaford but five scores under five wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to challenge. Blake Hogan-Keogh was outstanding for Flinders with 5/28 from 11 overs. In the final game, Baden Powell took hold of top spot on the ladder with a 10-wicket victory over Heatherhill. The Hills batted first and were bowled out for 93. Baden Powell got the runs without loss.

Hoppers in charge SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully DROMANA maintained its stranglehold on the MPCA Sub District competition with an effortless victory against Skye. After rain effected all matches in Sub District last weekend, all matches were limited overs games on Saturday. Skye batted first against the Hoppers on their home deck but could only manage 78 runs in 32 overs. Young gun Jack Fowler was at it again for Dromana, snaring 5/14 from just six overs. He then went out and made an unbeaten 51 to absolutely tear the game apart. Jye Voelkle was also very good for the Hoppers with 3/35 from eight overs and Craig Dunlop picked-up 2/13 from 10 overs. Rob Gruar, as usual, top scored for Skye, this time with 17. In reply, the Hoppers made the runs three wickets down and with 21 overs to spare. Aaron Kaddatz scored an unbeaten 16 to go with Fowler’s half century. Balnarring is just percentage outside of second place on the ladder after beating Tyabb by five wickets. The Yabbies won the toss and batted first and made 9/121 with Michael Edwards again top scoring with an unbeaten 38. Nathan Hudgson hit 18 batting at 11. Brenton Taylor was outstanding for the Saints with the ball, picking up 6/17 from 10 overs. In reply, Balnarring scored 5/127 in 39 overs.

Nathan Kleinig top scored with 38 and skipper David Ross scored 25. Hastings sits in fourth place on the ladder after easily accounting for Ballam Park. The Blues batted first and posted a healthy score of 7/166. Timmy Birch was the star yet again with 36. Keeper Jaysen Bradshaw was also significant in the win with an unbeaten 45, while Al Kristensen contributed 30 and Luke Hewitt 21. In reply, the Knights were rolled for 116. Hastings’ bowlers were superb. Mitch Floyd opened with 3/26, Liam Bradshaw snared 2/15 from eight overs, Hewitt picked-up 2/37 and Isuru Dias was back for his first game and took 2/26 from nine overs. Rosebud maintained its position in the top four with a win against Frankston YCW. Billy Quigley hit 39 and Jason Mathers contributed 20 in Rosebud’s modest total of 127 in 40 overs. Andrew Kitson was superb for the Stonecats with 2/10 from 10 overs. In reply, despite 53 from Jack Greenwood, the home side was rolled for just 120. Jason Nagel was superb with 2/14 from 10 overs, while Scott Millar claimed 3/33 from 10 overs. Tootgarook is in second place on the ladder after a strong performance against Carrum Downs. Tootgarook batted first and made 7/176, before they were able to restrict the Cougars to 9/167 in its 40 overs.

Sharks add some class FOOTY NEWS Sudoku and crossword solutions

By Toe Punt SORRENTO has landed multiple Peninsula Team of the Year centre half forward Scott Lockwood. Lockwood was said to be on the move to an amateur club closer to the city but after a few chats with new coach Nick Jewell, decided to go to Sorrento. Mt Eliza team mate and hard running defender Jack Egan will join Lockwood at the Sharks. Whilst it’s big news for the Sharks, Jewell played it down. “Look, we are just replacing at the moment. We get Lockwood for Leigh Poholke and Egan for Troy Schwarze. If you like, Nick Corp, who we recruited last week, is also a replacement for Ryan Jeffries who has retired,” Jewell said. Sorrento is “very close” with one other big name. The quiet word coming out of Sorrento, but is yet to be confirmed, is that Myles Pitt has a serious back injury and star players Daniel Grant and Jon Croad are both headed for Queensland.

In other news: has lost Team of the Year forward Andrew Dean to Tooradin. The Seagulls were hopeful of landing Jye Lloyd also but he’s going nowhere according to Rye. Frankston Bombers have picked up Jarryd Amalfi from Langwarrin and four players who have been at Frankston Dolphins. Two are Bombers boys in Ryan Marks-Logan and Dale Sutton while Sam Fox and Ryan Kitchen have also signed. Both Bombers and Dolphins say Fox will play more games at their respective clubs this season. Dromana has welcomed back premiership player Beau McMurray and recruited former Tyabb and Langwarrin forward Matt Dimkos. Dimkos needs to get his body right to be of any value to the Tigers after playing less than half of all available games in the past three seasons. Somerville stars Ben Crowe, Steve Crowe, Jacob Wilson and a few others sent some shockwaves through the Eagles’ nest last week when they were pictured on the Toe Punt Facebook page wearing Crib Point jumpers and shaking the hands of Magpies’ star Michael Cook. It was all a prank during the buck’s weekend of Wilson. Rye
