LFRAIDTAYES

Take positive action during Hearing Awareness Week AUSTRALIANS aged over 50 are willing to put up with poor hearing even if they miss out on social occasions with their friends and family, research by Australian Hearing has revealed.

The research, released to mark Hearing Awareness Week (25-31 August), gauged the attitudes of more than 1300 Australians aged over 50 towards their hearing.

More than half (56 per cent) of those surveyed living in inner regional areas such as Rosebud believe they can live a normal life with reduced hearing, even if it means asking people to repeat themselves, avoiding social situations and misunderstanding doctor’s instructions.

A quarter of Australians over 50 believe there is a stigma attached to wearing hearing aids.

This includes being worried about being viewed as old and being embarrassed to be seen wearing hearing aids in public.

“It’s concerning that people are avoiding taking action about their hearing simply because they feel they’ll be perceived as looking old.

The irony is that by choosing to not do anything about your hearing, you actually draw even more attention to your problem,” Australian Hearing Rosebud manager Nici Glyde said.

“Often it’s friends or relatives that notice the problem first but don’t say anything out of politeness.”

According to the research, even people with diagnosed hearing loss don’t do anything about it. Respondents to the survey waited an average of just over four years to get help for their hearing loss – almost half (47 per cent) of Australians over 50 said they didn’t think their hearing was bad enough, and 40 per cent said they just put up with the problem.

“What many people don’t realise is that hearing technology is constantly evolving and

improving. Take hearing aids for example.

There’s absolutely no comparison between today’s almost invisible hearing aids and their older counterparts.

“People should also remember that losing your hearing doesn’t always lead to a hearing aid. Sometimes it’s just hearing the television, conversing on the phone or hearing the doorbell that’s the issue. There are many solutions other than hearing aids available to help improve your life.

“There’s really no excuse to not do something about your hearing. It’s as simple as a free 15-minute hearing check and the sooner you take action, the better your quality of life and health will be.”

Ms Glyde said Hearing Awareness Week provided an ideal reminder for Australians to take action to improve their hearing health.

Australian Hearing is teaming up with Amcal Pharmacies and Aldi shopping centre in Rosebud to offer free hearing checks for seniors on the following days: • Friday 23 August – Amcal Rosebud Plaza, 9am-3pm • Monday 26 August – Amcal Dromana, 9am4pm • Wednesday 28 August – Aldi Rosebud, 9am -3.30pm • Thursday 29 August – Amcal Bants Rosebud, 9am-3pm • Friday 30 August – Amcal Rosebud Plaza, 9am-3pm Free hearing checks are also available at the Australian Hearing Centre in Rosebud at any time.

For more information call Australian Hearing on 131 797.

Unbeatable sports range now includes trophies SPORTSPOWER is celebrating two years at its store in McCombe St, Rosebud.

Jeff and Trina Swagemakers have had the Rosebud store for seven years and chose to move to the new site next to Aldi supermarket when their lease ended.

“We’ve been here for two years and it is going really well,” Jeff said.

“The store is four times larger than our previous shop, so we have a bigger range of stock and better displays so that customers can come in and have a go at things before they buy.”

Ample off-street parking was also proving popular.

“You can get a park at the front door here, which makes it so much easier for shoppers,” he said.

The larger showroom enabled Jeff and Trina to stock and display more home gym equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes and weights.

“Indoor fitness is very popular at this time of year and we encourage people to come and try our products before choosing something that suits them,” he said.

An addition to the business is Rosebud Trophies and Engraving, which was established last year.

“There was no trophy and engraving store south of Mornington, so it is a much-needed service,” Jeff said.

“We do a full range of trophies, honour plaques, and medals. We do all the engraving onsite with either our rotary or laser engraver. We cater for all sorts of sporting clubs, community groups and schools.”

SportsPower is at 28 McCombe St, Rosebud, next to Aldi, and is open 8am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm Saturday and 10am to 2pm Sunday.

Questions and statements about fire risk were included in seven categories covered at the meeting.

“Just one or two days of smoke can ruin grapes and make them unfit for making wine,” he said.

“We are not talking about toxic smoke from a rubbish tip fire but ordinary bushfire smoke,” he said.

Smoke caused an “unacceptable taint in wine”.

By Mike Hast A BUSHFIRE starting in the proposed rubbish tip in the old Pioneer quarry at Dromana could devastate the peninsula’s $60 million a year wine industry, says pioneering winemaker Nat White.

Mr White, founder of Main Ridge Estate 38 years ago, was one of more than 350 people at an Environment Protection Authority conference last week where objectors asked questions of tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management.

burnt between January and March.

“Smoke from a big fire on Arthurs Seat could easily reach Balnarring and Flinders with northerly and westerly winds.”

Mr White said the peninsula’s winemaking industry had never sustained major bushfire smoke damage but allowing a rubbish tip on the Arthurs Seat escarpment next to the state park significantly increased the risk of this happening, he said.

Nat White planted the first grapes

on his property south of Arthurs Seat Rd in 1975 and picked the first vintage three years later.

Main Ridge Estate, the first commercial winery on the peninsula, initially grew experimental crops of chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot meunier, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, gewurztraminer, cabernet franc and riesling.

Varieties grown nowadays include chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and merlot.

Police say reports of dog thefts for fights ‘all wrong’

Dognapping disproved

By Chris Brennan FAKE social media reports have sparked public panic over a supposed organised dog abduction ring targeting pets around Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Police have moved to allay fears that beloved pets were being stolen from homes to be used in, or as bait for, illegal dog fights, as reported in widely circulated Facebook postings.

“It’s all fake. It’s simply not happening,” a Victoria Police spokesman said.

“We have investigated this thoroughly and can confirm there’s absolutely no substance to these reports.”

Police have been swamped with reported sightings of a white Toyota utility and other “suspicious activities” allegedly connected to the theft of dogs and illegal dog fighting.

However, only four dogs have been reported as stolen across the entire Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region since the beginning of the year, and they had nothing to do with dog fighting, police said.

A report posted on the official Victoria Police Facebook site appears to have “gone viral”. It carried an identikit image of a man police wanted to interview over dog abductions and an “illegal dog fighting ring in a Seaford factory”.

“The man was last seen in Seaford, also Frankston North. Anyone with information or [who] has seen this man please call Crime Stoppers,” the Facebook posting read.

But the image was from a separate, unrelated incident and the entire substance of the posting had been made up, police said.

An earlier report, also posted on Facebook, warned that: “Dogs on the peninsula are being stolen for fighting.

They are going missing daily…”

It outlined a well-worn internet myth that has popped up in cities and towns across the world regarding organised criminal operations stealing pets for use in dog fights.

Crime gangs allegedly use spotters to apply colour-coded tags or stickers to mark houses where dogs live, so that later “the thieves can drive around

and take dogs when nobody is home”, the recent peninsula Facebook posting warning.

“Yellow ties are for staffies/mastiffs etc and blue for smaller/old dogs that are used for bait.

“Keep an eye out for a Toyota ute with dog cages on the back and if you see anything suspicious, please call the police.

They are aware of what’s happening.”

But police are not aware of any such activity and have been forced to deal with an increasing number of inquiries and reports from members of the public, including multiple sighting of the Toyota allegedly involved.

“This is taking up a lot of police time and resources and causing great concern in the community, so we really want to get the word out to the public that there’s been no such activities in the area,” the spokesman said.

“This is the problem with social media; well-meaning people get easily sucked in by reports like this and want to share it around. But once you share it on your page, your friends then share it and very quickly it goes from 10 to 100 to 1000 to 10,000 and can quickly get up to a million.

“We’d ask Facebook users to circulate the news that the dog theft story is a myth. We’d suggest people maybe Google reports like this to try to ascertain their validity before sharing it online with more people.”

A third report that two Aussie bulldog crosses had been stolen from Mt Martha, with one later dumped in Point Leo “covered in blood and puncture wounds”, was also posted on Facebook.

The posting read: “The Vet has stated the puncture wounds are consistent with bite marks. The owner is heartbroken. The police have told the owner of the bulldogs that two beagles were stolen in Mt Eliza today. Mt Eliza is right next door to Mt Martha. Please be vigilant if you own dogs within this area. The second Aussie bulldog has not been found.”

Members of the public contacted The News to assert the story was true, that they’d seen the injured dog, and Rosebud police had been contacted.

MORNINGTON Peninsula women were among 300 breast cancer survivors at this month’s national breast cancer summit in Sydney hosted by Breast Cancer Network Australia.

Kate Smith, who represented the southern peninsula, described the summit as “inspiring and informative, providing some practical ideas and resources to take back to the peninsula community”.

Jo Lovelock, of Mt Martha, representing Breast Intentions, a support group for younger women, said local breast cancer groups were “a great source of support for women dealing with breast cancer, and are powered by local survivors who volunteer their own time”.

The network’s national summit aimed to build skills, knowledge and

connections among group representatives and individuals who support women and families affected by breast cancer.

Women like Ms Smith and Ms Lovelock are “the heart of our national support network”, network CEO Maxine Morand said.

“They give so much to their communities. It’s a privilege to work with them and help build their capacity to continue supporting women and families affected by breast cancer around Australia.”

Experts at the summit spoke about the latest developments in the treatment, care and peer support for breast cancer sufferers.

The network represents Australians affected by breast cancer and links more than 80,000 individuals and 300

The cancer group caters for women of all ages with any cancers at all stages of their cancer at The Bays Hospital while the wig centre is a free service for any woman living on the peninsula who has lost her hair due to chemotherapy.

MORE than 500 people are expected to form a human â&#x20AC;&#x153;No tipâ&#x20AC;? sign in a Dromana reserve on Sunday morning. People dressed in red will meet at 11am in Hillview Reserve on Boundary Rd, close to the old Pioneer quarry.

Photographer Peter Holmes of Red Hill will fly over the site at midday to take photos.

The action is being organised by Kelly Winsor of Rosebud. She and her friends and contacts have invited about 2500 people.

The 33-year-old conservation and land management student at Rosebud TAFE said she wanted to do something to express her opposition to the proposed rubbish tip on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The site was once an open cut granite quarry but has since been reclaimed by nature and become a beautiful, pristine place with a stunning lake surrounded by bush that is home to many native plants and wildlife,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is in an environmentally valuable area on the edge of our state park and this proposal poses not only a massive health risk to peninsula residents

and the environment, but also threatens our thriving tourism industry and many businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mornington Peninsula Shire was supposed to oversee the conversion of the site into a lake with walking tracks and picnic areas for residents and visitors, but instead weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staring down the barrel of an absolute disaster.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Winsor joined lead tip objector Peninsula Preservation Group after her action came to the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention.

She said PPG members would say a few words and had organised a sausage sizzle for attendees.

Also attending would be Greens candidate for Flinders Dr Martin Rush, Greens lead Senate candidate for Victoria Janet Rice and Greens state MP Sue Pennicuik.

Volunteer marshalls will help position people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;protestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as such, but a peaceful demonstration of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view that we do not want a tip to destroy the old Pioneer quarry and surrounding areas,â&#x20AC;? Ms Winsor said.

partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-president, said it was the first time a political party had represented the interests of animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having seen the atrocities of the live export trade, many Australians understand there is an urgent need for an animal-specific voice in the corridors of power.â&#x20AC;?

Bottom right, Peninsula Preservation Group members prepare their next set of probing questions. Bottom centre, tip objectors in the foyer of Peninsula Community Theatre before the meeting.

Quarry tip meeting EPA’s biggest ever ing further studies were planned, including investigating the potential impact on threatened species such as the powerful owl, which inhabits the state park next to the quarry.

Ian Vaughan, chairman of Peninsula Waste Management and a member of the Ross Trust, said the conference was “a vital part of the decision-making process concerning the planned landfill site”.

“It enabled community members to seek clarification over matters concerning them and we were happy to be able to respond to their questions,” he said.

“With more than 20 issues discussed, many of them extremely complex, it was an informative and valuable step towards better community understanding of this vital project.”

Mr Vaughan said the conference was “extremely well managed by the EPA”.

A report on the event by the meeting’s independent chairman Bruce Turner will form part of the EPA’s deliberations. The agency is expected to make a decision in early October.

In other developments, Mornington Peninsula Shire has granted PWM an extension until February to provide more information to go with its planning approval application.

PWM needs approval from the EPA and the shire to proceed.

No shire councillors attended the conference. The shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble told The News “they were all given the opportunity to attend, that is, they were not advised by [shire] officers to stay away. It was a personal decision by each [councillor]”.

Meeting calls for EPA to dump tip application NEAR the end of the conference, which ran more than an hour over time, Professor John Stanley of Peninsula Preservation Group submitted a motion, which was passed with acclamation.

Dr Stanley, who teaches at the University of Sydney, lives in Red Hill about two kilometres from the tip site.

Motion for Section 20B conference That this meeting resolves to: 1. Strongly support the Victorian government’s position, as set down in its waste policy (Getting Full Value, April 2013) that the fundamental role of the waste and resource recovery system is to protect and conserve the environment and public health from the risks that arise from waste materials.

2. Applaud the Victorian government’s commitment to minimise the environmental and public health impacts of waste and resource recovery facilities.

3. Strongly reject the landfill facility proposed by Ross Trust affiliate Peninsula Waste Management for Boundary Rd, Dromana, on the grounds that it poses unacceptable risks for the local environment, community, public health and businesses, which are not able to be mitigated to a satisfactory extent.

4. Recognise that there are alternative ways of managing waste from the Mornington Peninsula that have less risk for the Victorian environment and public health.

5. Call on the EPA to reject the works application for the landfill.

Peninsula Preservation Group organised small teams of questioners for each topic.

Peninsula Waste Management’s development manager David Maltby was supported by consultants including Cardno Lane Piper partner Anthony Lane as well as Ross Trust trustees Ian Vaughan and John McInnes.

The meeting was rowdy at times with people interjecting from the floor when they considered PWM and its consultants had not adequately answered questions.

After the conference, Peninsula Preservation Group president Jacinta Banks told The News she was disappointed with many of the answers provided by PWM and its consultants.

“They’ve had years to prepare reports about the various aspects of the proposal,” she said.

“This is a high-risk venture with the potential to greatly impact people and the environment, and the detail provided was inadequate.”

She said information was weak in many areas including why the peninsula needed a tip that would take rubbish from outside the region when there was space at a Hampton Park landfill that would not be filled until 2030, the potential threat of polluted water leaving the quarry site and running into Sheepwash Creek and then Port Phillip, the extent of odour affecting the surrounding area, and the increased fire risk from having a tip next to the heavily wooded Arthurs Seat State Park.

Ms Banks said PWM’s flora and fauna study was inadequate, a point conceded by the proponent with one of its experts say-

By Mike Hast MORE than 350 residents almost filled Peninsula Community Theatre on Wednesday last week to hear Peninsula Preservation Group members grill proponents of the proposed rubbish tip in an old quarry at Dromana.

The so-called Section 20B conference was organised by the Environment Protection Authority as part of its appraisal of Peninsula Waste Management’s application for a municipal rubbish tip, or landfill, in the former Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment.

EPA boss John Merritt and 16 staff attended. Mr Merritt told The News it was the biggest 20B conference the agency had run and the EPA was aware of the “community angst” the proposal had generated. (Section 20B is part of the Environment Protection Act.) The EPA received 900 submissions about the tip and more than 450 people had said they would attend the conference but a bitter winter’s night saw many people stay at home.

PWM, owned by R E Ross Trust, which also owns Hillview Quarries, wants to dump about 150,000 tonnes a year for more than 20 years in the disused quarry. About 40,000 tonnes would come from the peninsula and the rest from other municipalities.

Topics covered included the need for a tip; its impact on flora and fauna; fire risk, air quality, odour and noise; its impact on surface waters, groundwater and Port Phillip; its impact on businesses, residents and tourists; and how the site would be rehabilitated.

Clubhouse hit by firefighters GOLFERS at Portsea stood on the greens and watched as masked firefighters disappeared into the smoke-filled clubhouse.

Smoke billowed from the old clubhouse as fire trucks stood outside while firefighters fought their way through the smoke to look for anyone trapped inside.

However there were no sirens or flashing lights and no barriers to keep bystanders at bay.

The firefighters were using the clubhouse for a training exercise before it is demolished.

Called to what turned out to be a false alarm at the Portsea Golf Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new premises earlier this month, Rye CFA captain Mark Boardman saw an opportunity when told about plans to demolish the old building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We leap at any opportunity to conduct search and rescue training in local buildings,â&#x20AC;? Captain Boardman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get a hold of a large commercial building is a bonus.â&#x20AC;?

On the day of the exercise about 50 firefighters from brigades across the peninsula entered the old smoke-filled clubhouse that had been fitted with controlled fire props to practice their primary and secondary search drills.

The props included fires in the kitchen and lounge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the essential skills for being able to quickly enter burning buildings to save people,â&#x20AC;? Capt Boardman said.

He urged property owners about to demolish a house or commercial building to â&#x20AC;&#x153;consider making it available for a day or evening for a training exerciseâ&#x20AC;?.

Marina plastic back on the beach LUMPS of polystyrene have again broken loose from parts of Blairgowrie marina.

A series of storms over the past two weeks left lumps and balls of the noxious plastic strewn along the nearby Blairgowrie beach.

Pieces of foam first broke away from the marina’s floating attenuator, or wave screen, in October 2009.

The Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron manager Amanda Jacobs said the squadron’s tractor and volunteers had been used to collect the plastic from the beach.

The polystyrene had come from a broken panel on the attenuator, which is constructed of large blocks of polystyrene covered by a layer of concrete.

Ms Jacobs was confident the rest of the attenuator was “pretty secure”.

“The other panels are being checked daily,” she said.

Ms Jacobs said the attenuator would be replaced by a sea wall if the yacht squadron succeeded in its bid to extend the marina.

Troy Muir and his daughter Matilda were among those who collected the polystyrene from the beach near the marina.

“The beads had blown all over the place and it was hard to get a picture to do it justice, but we filled a bag with the stuff in five seconds flat and it was strewn far and wide,” he said.

Foreshore manager Bill Morton of the Whitecliffs to Camerons Bight Foreshore Management Committee said trees had been blown down along the foreshore during the recent storms although no boats had been reported breaking from their moorings.

“We’ve had exceptionally high tides

with winds gusting over 80 kilometres an hour, but damage has been exceptionally light,” he said.

Neil Blake of the Port Phillip EcoCentre said floating balls of polystyrene resembled fish eggs and was likely to be ingested by marine animals and birds.

He said there was very little research available on what effects polystyrene had on the environment.

“It’s an area of great concern, with plastics being one of the most common pollutants accumulating in the marine environment,” Mr Blake said.

TWO independent candidates standing in Flinders want to reduce Australia’s current immigration levels.

Paul Madigan of French Island and Denis McComack of Northcote want voters to “write ‘Reduce immigration’ in blank spaces at the top of both ballot papers after numbering all boxes as they wish”.

Mr Madigan, 66, is a farmer, singersongwriter and broadcaster who moved to French Island more than 10 years ago. Old music fans might remember his venture Madigan’s in Brunswick, a venue for innovative artists in the 1990s.

He stood for Australians Against Further Immigration in 1996 and as an independent in 2004.

Mr Madigan is a former president of the French Island Community Association.

Denis McComack, 59, is a researcher and analyst of immigration issues.

He was a co-founder and electoral candidate for Australians Against Further Immigration (1990-1997) and a candidate for the Australia First Party in 1998.

For 20 years Mr McComack has been the Australian correspondent for The Social Contract, an American quarterly journal covering population, immigration, environment and carrying capacity, and multicultural issues.

They will be at “meet the candidates” evenings at Hastings Senior Citizens Club, Herring St, at 7pm on Tuesday 27 August and Dromana on Monday 2 September.

Their campaign website is at: reduceimmigration.wordpress.com

Council election probe not for dummies

By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Lynn Bowden has welcomed news of a sweeping state government review of council elections, saying it would help improve confidence in the system following a steep decline in voter participation and a spike in the number of “dummy candidates” at last year’s poll.

Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell last week announced the firstever comprehensive review of Victoria’s local government electoral system, appointing former federal Liberal heavyweight Petro Georgiou to head an independent panel.

Mrs Powell said the review aimed to

ensure councils continued to be held responsible and accountable to their communities, and to address falling voter participation as well as a sharp rise in the number of complaints about the 2012 council elections to the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate.

“All Victorians should have faith in the system that elects local representatives to govern and make important decisions affecting their communities,” Mrs Powell said.

“The review will examine the reasons for the lower voter turnout and table processes for dealing quickly with complaints so they don’t impact on the integrity of future elections.”

Mr Georgiou, the former federal MP for Kooyong and chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, will be joined on the panel by Sally Davis, former manager of the Australian Electoral Commission’s Melbourne Electoral Education Centre and two-time Stonnington mayor; and Anne Murphy, a former president of the Municipal Association of Victoria, mayor of Preston (1998-90) and Local Government Commissioner at Stonnington and Whittlesea councils.

A key issue for the panel is dummy candidates – people listed on ballot papers who have no real intention of winning and enter only to funnel votes to other candidates through preferences.

ment Association and Local Government Inspectorate about complaints.

Bill McArthur of MAV said his organisation had called for the review.

The biggest issue confronting voters was trying to work out “who are these people” standing for election, with limited information disclosure requirements in place.

The panel will issue a discussion paper and seek feedback through written submissions and public hearings before reporting to Mrs Powell in January with recommendations for potential legislative reform.

Details of the review are online at www.localgovernment.vic.gov.au

Some polls last year had as many as 85 candidates for just 11 vacancies.

The panel will consider the sharp decline in voter turnout, with almost a third of eligible voters failing to vote last year, compared with 7 per cent at the 2010 state election.

Cr Bowden said it was vital the peninsula community had faith in the electoral process and welcomed moves to encourage greater voter turnout.

Mrs Powell said the review aimed to improve the electoral process, along with people’s understanding of it, and may lead to legislative changes.

She said the government had sought feedback from Municipal Association of Victoria, Victorian Local Govern-

Shire council sticks to ‘low rates’ claim, despite MAV figures

By David Harrison MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has again stated that rates will rise by only 5.9 per cent in 2013-14 despite a senior shire finance officer conceding the real rise is 7.7 per cent.

The shire has used its ratepayerfunded publication Peninsula-Wide to repeat its contentious claim.

To add to the confusion, the Municipal Association of Victoria calculated the shire rates increase at 6.82 per cent.

To arrive at 5.9 per cent, the shire omitted the controversial $180 municipal charge from its calculations.

Since it is a compulsory charge, it needed to be included to ensure an accurate result.

The MAV included both the munici-

pal and garbage charges in its report on rate rises for Victoria’s 79 local governments.

The shire’s municipal charge jumped $20 – 12.5 per cent – this year from last year’s $160. It is effectively a de facto supplementary rate rise and has increased by 463 per cent since 2001.

When it is included in the calculation, the real rate rise is almost 8 per cent.

Few other councils collect anything like $180 with this charge. Some do not impose it at all.

By omitting it from calculations, the shire presents a misleading picture, says Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association.

The shire’s use of the word “rates”

ting the budget for 2013-14,” the shire stated.

The ratepayer group has accused the shire of “a cunning marketing ploy” intended to mask the real increase.

“The impact of this ploy is that council is disadvantaging those in the community who are less able to pay. The council is more concerned about its image than its impact on the low socioeconomic group in our community,” the association stated.

It has described as “simply not true” a shire statement that “council’s past practices and decisions regarding rating are underpinned by equitable distribution of the rate burden across the community according to assessment of property value”.

It comes 28th of the 73 councils listed on the MAV’s measure of average rates per head of population.

Despite this, the shire asserts in Peninsula-Wide the 5.9 per cent rise will maintain “the shire’s position as having rate levels among the lowest in Victoria”.

The shire, at $842 a head, is below the average of $961. Maroondah is the most expensive at a hefty $1901 a head; lowest is Monash at $506.

The shire claims that its 5.9 per cent strikes a balance in “the current tight economic circumstances in the community” between “affordability and meeting growth in community needs and expectations”.

“We have exercised restraint in set-

is at odds with the Local Government Act’s repeated use of “rates and charges” and “rates or charges” when setting out the rules on how councils calculate the bill they send to property owners.

Section 158 of the Act, headed “Declaring rates and charges”, makes it clear councils are collecting “general rates, municipal charges, service rates and service charges” – including the municipal charge.

The shire itself uses “rates and charges” frequently on rates notices – 16 times on a recent rates notice, including four times in one paragraph.

The shire’s assertion that it is among the lowest-rating councils in the state is not supported by the MAV’s table.

‘Secrets’ let go without a blush

By David Harrison Community council meeting at Rye Civic Hall, Monday 22 July. A nutritious buffet meal (not, as is usually the case, advertised on the shire website) preceded the meeting.

REGULAR council watchers often see pink papers on councillors’ desks – pink denoting confidential – and wonder what is writ therein.

This is the stuff watchers really want to read – but councillors would reveal it at their peril.

But here was Cr David Gibb, stickler for all rules pertaining to meetings and indeed all council matters that come under his purview, complaining about the shire’s financial support for the Rosebud Kite Festival and, apparently, reading figures from the pink sheets in front of him.

Mayor Lynn Bowden interrupted him to ask if this was what he was doing. Cr Gibb, a councillor since the last millennium, admitted his grievous sin without a mea culpa or even a discernible blush. Governance supremo Noel Buck watched on, mute, at this infraction. Cr Gibb continued his effort to gain another $1500 for the kites, to help balance the funding inequity relative to bashes held in Hastings and Mornington.

He went back to his pink sheets and changed tactics from quoting figures to detailing percentages. The material did not seem terribly explosive in nature – perhaps much confidential material is similarly innocuous – but councils, even open and transparent ones, like to have their little secrets.

Perhaps this is not the end of the matter. Council Watch has learned

have every factory clock set to a different time.

Meeting takes off on talk of business class that not long ago new councillor Hugh Fraser, barrister at law, was alleged to have committed the same offence.

The infringement was considered serious enough for a meeting to be called between Cr Fraser, a lawyer hired by the shire and senior council officers, at which Cr Fraser would be properly admonished, counselled and made penitent. It did not go quite this way. Cr Fraser, the silken-tongued advocate long acquainted with writs of mandamus, certiorari and the like, was able to point out that the “confidential” paper had in fact, M’lud, not been declared confidential as required by an Act of Parliament. Case dismissed. But can Cr Gibb’s gaffe be lightly dismissed? Surely the shire now ensures that “confidential” is indeed confidential according to law.

Naughty Cr Gibb – bring on the lawyers! Off with his head! *** THE meeting’s high point had come early, during Question Time, when Frederick Crump of Mornington asked why his local street clock was regularly an hour slow – a fact confirmed by Mornington councillor Bev Colomb.

It will be looked at, Mr Crump was assured. But will it be fixed?

The possibility that the clock had two faces, one of which might show the right time, reminded this council watcher of Henry Ford’s solution to clock-watchers in his T-model factory:

MOONAH LINKS

Council meeting at Besgrove St, Rosebud, 12 August, 7pm. Small gallery of residents; tea, coffee and biscuits provided.

IT was a night of “moved, seconded, carried” through the meeting’s early agenda items – declaration of a special charge scheme in McCrae, abandonment of a special charge scheme in Shoreham – indicating the pre-council councillor meeting had run smoothly.

A notable event was the final public appearance of the popular Tom Burk, infrastructure strategy project manager, finally giving work away at age 70, having arrived on the peninsula to work “for two years at most” in 1970.

Well done and have a great retirement, Tom; a splendid officer and a true gentleman.

Then it was back to business. Agenda item 2.9 received the closest councillor attention – shire policy on interstate and overseas air travel: was it to be economy or business?

Travel comfort is clearly a serious matter. But a small snafu needed attention, said governance manager Noel Buck; an inconsistency between two policies, one of which referred to economy class, the other to business class.

While councillors and officers should “where practicable” travel economy on interstate and overseas flights, there needed to be some recognition that, depending on the flight, “business class

may be appropriate”, Mr Buck said.

Most councillors nodded approvingly.

The gallery was reassured that any councillor travel request worth more than $2000 would need to come to council for public appraisal and councillor approval. Which could mean a lot of flights able to be taken under the financial radar.

CEO Michael Kennedy said he could imagine a circumstance where a councillor, “for instance, the mayor”, may travel on behalf of the council – “let’s just say we had a relationship with a city overseas” – that would make business class appropriate.

More nodding but people in the gallery wondered if a sister city announcement was imminent.

Mayor Lynn Bowden stated with a smile she had no imminent travel plans.

Cr Andrew Dixon sought and was given confirmation that councillors would still have the final say “where business travel might exceed relevant allowances for department heads and so on”.

Do “department heads” have their travel plans approved by councillors?

Council Watch doubts that such stratospheric worthies would submit to having their travel intentions scrutinised by the elected hoi polloi.

Cr Antonella Celi, concerned that the term “economy class” was “too prescriptive”, was reassured by both Mr Buck and Dr Kennedy that the words did not preclude councillors travelling business class.

Cr Graham Pittock, just back from a visit to the United States, suggested

there should be some conditions attached, depending on time and duration of flights.

“We are somehow privileged to be able to spend probably three times the cost of the normal economy fare to go business,” he said.

Why, he wanted to know, could not councillors opt for the “escape, um, chairs or whatever”. Laughter as he was rescued by Cr Bowden – “Emergency exit” seats, she coached. “At $25 extra,” Cr Pittock told the chamber.

“I’m not sure why anyone would want to put the extra impost on ratepayers to travel.”

Fair enough, Council Watch thought.

Cr David Gibb’s position was even more ratepayer-friendly. Closing the debate, he told the chamber he had wanted no options – “economy class only, full stop”.

“Of three overseas planning study trips I’ve undertaken, I’ve paid for the airfares myself, because I don’t believe ratepayers expect overseas airfares to be paid for by the shire council,” he said.

What a fine example. Perhaps councillors could consider paying any upgrade to business out of their councillor allowance?

Council Watch would prefer to think that councillors – and shire officers – would not even countenance flying, say, Melbourne to Sydney return in a $690 business class seat when they might have taken the trip in economy at $215.

Govt opens door to green belt development ington Peninsula Shire is yet to apply the planning scheme.

Mr Buxton said the peninsula was the most vulnerable part of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green belt due to its proximity to the city and its coastline with bays on either side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big developers are attracted to the most beautiful locations, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why places like the peninsula need tough, uncompromising protection because their beauty attracts the worst uses,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly done a good job protecting green wedge land, but by allowing unrestricted use of the rural conservation zone, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve condemned the land to be gradually urbanised. Significant parts of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green belt is now vulnerable to being destroyed.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Guy said the changes formed the final step in Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zone reform program and aimed to strengthen agricultural production while protecting against inappropriate development.

Under the changes, green wedge and green wedge A zones would be targeted for increased agricultural production by making it easier for farm-based business to conduct sale activities, while also allowing the establishment of schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important the state government allows green wedge zones to drive agricultural production and farm sales,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Guy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Green wedge zones make a significant contribution to our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liveability and as such it is important the government protects the zones from inappropriate development.â&#x20AC;?

include â&#x20AC;&#x153;bringing agriculture, primary produce sales and a small rural store to an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;as of rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; use to encourage primary production uses; allowing places of assembly in green wedge zones, and fulfilling the Coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election promise to allow schools but only with a permit from a councilâ&#x20AC;?, the planning documents states.

Prisons and freeway service centres have been added to the list of prohibited uses within green wedge zones, which also includes service stations, display homes, nightclubs and medical centres as prohibited uses, while â&#x20AC;&#x153;in conjunctionâ&#x20AC;? tests remain for restaurants, group accommodation and functions centres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The addition of schools and places of assembly to allowable uses with a council permit is an important delivery of the Coalition governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election commitments, and is the only

Mr Buxton said the peninsula had been subject to a number of such applications in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to remember the kind of residential complexes that have been proposed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; golf courses, residential complexes linked to function centres â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sometimes talking about 500 to 1000 dwellings in one single development,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new zoning regulations revealed a development bias. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really on about is development and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care where it happens. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been prevailed upon to protect the green wedge zone to a point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing, and congratulations, but it would have been a disaster for them had that not happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point in having an urban growth boundary if you can construct all these residential uses outside of your urban growth boundary? It makes the whole concept of a green wedge irrelevent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There can be no compromise on the protection of beautiful areas like the peninsula if we are going to retain them for future generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alan Hunt understood that and Sir Rupert Hamer, who created the whole concept, certainly understood that but their efforts have been undermined by subsequent governments who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to understand what they understood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that these areas are incredibly valuable to Melbourne for reasons other than development.â&#x20AC;?

non-agricultural addition of uses to the zones,â&#x20AC;? Mr Guy said.

However, Mr Buxton said the elephant in the room was the changes made to rural conservation zone regulations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would a government provide the least amount of control to the best land? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have taken out the key controls on those developments, which is a minimum requirement for the amount of land you have to buy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40 hectares â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and councils can control the size of the actual development by limiting the number of seats or beds,â&#x20AC;? Mr Buxton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this means, if they have taken those two controls out, is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have massive residential complexes, perhaps linked to golf courses; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have large hotels, conference centres, function centres, restaurant complexes, residential hotels, wedding

2027732L-5CB9A

By Chris Brennan CHANGES to state land zoning regulations will clear the way for the construction of â&#x20AC;&#x153;massiveâ&#x20AC;? hotel, convention centre and residential complexes within the most environmentally sensitive areas of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green belt, a planning expert has warned.

RMIT University professor of planning Michael Buxton said the latest zone reform package, unveiled last week by Planning Minister Matthew Guy, removed strict conditions constraining inappropriate development on land in rural conservation zones.

Councils can use rural conservation zone overlays to protect the most environmentally precious areas within their jurisdictions.

While welcoming ongoing protections under the zone reform package for lands within green wedge zones, Mr Buxton but said the changes had â&#x20AC;&#x153;taken the strongest zone and made it the weakestâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The contradiction in what the government has done is that it has removed all the restrictions on the highest value land â&#x20AC;&#x201C; work that out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rural conservation zone is designed for land with the highest environmental significance within the green belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now the big commercial developers of function centres, hotels, residential complexes and that sort of thing will gravitate to rural conservation zones because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only land theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to use for those purposes.

Areas within the Frankston municipality currently fall under rural conservation zoning rules, however Morn-

FATHER’S DAY

At Sea Breeze Cellars we stock the best range of spirits south of Toorak. Including the world’s best whiskies, vodkas, bourbons, rum, gin, tequila & liqueurs.

We aim to provide you with a choice of quality spirits along with the mainstream favourites. We now have 15 variants of award winning Tasmanian whiskies.

Precious Vodka Precious Vodka is produced from distiller grown and harvested winter wheat and nourished with post glacial subterranean spring water.

Precious Vodka is bottled in our unique diamond shaped bottle. Every bottle of Precious Vodka contains a beautiful natural gem stone from our collection of fully certifiable precious stones which include sapphire, emerald, ruby, topaz, and peridot. Our gem stones are specially crafted so that our customers receive only the finest genuine jewel stones.

Buffalo Trace We’ve been making bourbon whiskey the same way for over 200 years.

Uncompromised and unchanged, we’re proud of the whiskey we make.

Dedicated to the independent spirit of America, Buffalo Trace is the world’s most decorated distillery. We invite you to explore our rich history, our award-winning bourbon and learn why we’ll always stand strong.

High West High West is Utah’s first distillery since 1870 and the world’s only ski-in gastro distillery. Handnumbered labels adorn hand-blown glass bottles with wooden-topped cork stoppers.High West Rendezvous Rye is a marriage of two straight rye whiskies: an exotic 6-year-old with a 95% rye and 5% barley malt mash bill; a very rare 16-year-old with an 80% rye, 10% corn, 10% barley mash bill. It is not chill filtered. High West Double Rye is a marriage of a 2-year-old rye (made up of 95% rye and 5% barley) and a 16-year-old with a more conventional mash bill of 53% rye and 37% corn. The extra age and increased corn of the 16 year old adds just enough woody vanilla richness and caramel sweetness to calm the bite of the younger rye. The resultant whiskey is bold, balanced, complex and perfect for mixing. High West Double Rye has a taste profile of cinnamon, clove, anise, eucalyptus, evergreen gin-like flavours and a vibrant finish.

Alaskan Rock Vodka ALASKAN ROCK ® vodka is an Australian small batch vodka (only 2800 bottles in batch one).

Many vodkas are made using wheat, rye, corn, potato or even plain sugar. We prefer malted-barley.

It delivers a crisp neutral spirit flavour that vodka drinkers expect but also offers a lovely hint of malt.

We think this makes our vodka an outstanding sipping spirit and a great mixer too. Distilling is done twice in copper pot stills to ensure the purest, cleanest flavour. And the bottling is done by hand.

Angostura Premium Rum Trinidad & Tobago, Caribbean The House of Angostura is situated in the heart of the Caribbean, the unspoilt islands of Trinidad & Tobago, where Angostura has been in the business of crafting fine spirits since 1824. That’s almost 200 years experience of fermenting, distilling, ageing and blending which come together to deliver a truly smooth rum, quite different from any other rum produced in the Caribbean.

A’bunadh A’bunadh, Gaelic for ‘of the origin’, is matured exclusively in Oloroso ex-sherry butts.

It is a natural cask-strength malt whisky produced without the use of modern-day chill filtering methods or the addition of water. Colour: Deep, rich amber.

Nose: Aromas of mixed spices, praline and spiced orange harmonising with rich, deep notes of Oloroso sherry.

Palate: Orange, black cherries, dried fruit and ginger spiked with dark bitter chocolate and enriched with sherry and oak. Full bodied and creamy Finish. Robust and intense with bitter-sweet notes of exotic spices, dark chocolate and oak.

Monkey Shoulder

Ultimat Vodka

Monkey Shoulder is a premium Scotch Whisky that is steeped in history and culture and to this day is still tended by hand by the experienced Malt Men of Speyside. A smooth and rich ‘triple’ malt Scotch (a world first!) that has been blended from three of Speyside’s finest single malts and using batches from only 27 casks to produce this fine malt whisky. A delightful nose of sherry, cinnamon baked pear, butterscotch, barley, strawberry and Bourbon vanilla which are all complemented by tangy, sweet nut, citrus, mint, oak and orange peel flavours.

Created in Poland - the birthplace of vodka - Ultimat vodka is unique in that it is the only vodka distilled from both grains and potato, a break from the traditional process of using just one or the other. The result is unrivalled, truly distinct and ultrapure vodka. A specially designed, handmade, Polish crystal bottle creates a unique decanter. The removable label makes Ultimat a valuable gift.

NEWS DESK

By Mike Hast FRANKSTON Dolphins’ dream of a new function centre and clubrooms is a step closer to reality after the club and Frankston Council agreed terms two weeks ago.

The council will build a two-storey “community function centre” on the site of the club’s existing building and the Dolphins will manage it.

It will incorporate part of the existing building constructed by the Dolphins.

Frankston Park Function Centre will hold 370 people downstairs and 220 people upstairs.

Dolphins president John Barry said many community groups use the building because of its affordability and location, but the club had been forced to turn groups away in recent times.

He said a new function centre was a necessity to cater for 100 local groups, schools, clubs, charities and businesses that had used the social rooms.

“Many of those groups, particularly schools, told us they wanted to be able to hold their major functions in Frankston rather than heading elsewhere, and we are delighted with the support this idea has received from all funding partners,” Mr Barry said.

Project funding comes from the state government ($1.5 million), Frankston Council ($500,000), VFL ($250,000) and AFL ($250,000).

The state government money was allocated in October 2010 by the Labor government. Just over a month later, the Brumby government was defeated by the Ted Baillieu-led Coalition, but the

grant was carved in stone and honoured by the government.

When planning started in August 2011, the project was costed at about $3 million but the Dolphins’ contribution of $500,000 will now be in-kind.

The club hopes to complete the building to lock-up stage will cost about $2.5 million and the internal fitout will be done by the club, its supporters and sponsors, and have a nominal value of about $500,000. In 2011, the club hoped construction would start in June 2012 and be finished in March 2013.

Dolphins’ stalwart and general manager Bryan Mace told The News it was hoped tenders would be called before Christmas with building to start next March and take 8-9 months.

“We’ll build around our gaming room and social room,” he said.

About 50 per cent of the complex will be demolished to make way for the new centre, he said.

There would be a new entrance off Plowman Place to the first storey.

Mr Mace said the Dolphins would not be able to play at home for several weeks while machinery occupied part of the ground.

“When we have the building schedule, we’ll talk to clubs like Sandringham and Casey to see if we can play home games there,” he said.

More games would be played at home later in the 2014 season, he said.

The project will transform the club, which has resolutely stood alone since 2000 when most VFL sides aligned with AFL clubs.

Mayor Cr Sandra Mayer congratulated the club for its work in making the project possible.

“The Dolphins secured $2 million of funding from the AFL and state government to create a function centre that is affordable for local community groups and schools, and that will also help ensure the club’s future,” she said.

The function centre will be the second major building project at the ground in recent times.

The historic grandstand was replaced after burning to the ground on 13 February 2008. It was officially opened in November 2010.

Sailing no hobby for world champ BALNARRING sailor Robbie Lovig has returned home a world champion after winning the Hobie Tiger Worlds in Germany. Lovig teamed with Andy Dinsdale to win the Tiger class, which pits the best 18-foot highperformance catamaran sailors against each other.

While Dinsdale is a Frenchman, Lovig said the pair sailed under the Australian flag because he was the skipper. Their victory in the 2013 Hobie Multi-Worlds regatta, held in Travemunde in northern Germany over the last two weeks in July, followed a third place by Lovig at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Lovig, 28, said the victory was the culmination of years of hard work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we first arrived, we were far from favourites, going by regatta site talk,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was clear from the beginning we were the underdogs. This made the victory even sweeter. There is nothing better than proving that you can achieve your goals despite what the critics say.â&#x20AC;?

Lovig said he would now focus on more national and world title events in Australia and Europe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also coaching talented sailors from Somers and Balnarring who are progressing well at the national youth level, with one team looking very promising to represent Australia at the 2014 ISAF youth worlds in Europe.â&#x20AC;?

Tenders called for port studies TENDERS have been called for site investigations in preparation to expand the Port of Hastings.

Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean sees the move as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a significant new milestone in the evolution of the portâ&#x20AC;?.

Mr Lean said the authority, tenderers and government agencies would work to ensure â&#x20AC;&#x153;that any potential environmental impacts are well understood and managed during investigationsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our approach at every stage will be to avoid or minimise any environmental impacts and we are confident that these works can be conducted safely and with minimal impact.â&#x20AC;?

He said the three work programs covered marine geotechnical investigations, land side geotechnical investigations and a marine geophysics survey.

The results would provide the authority with â&#x20AC;&#x153;critical contemporary baseline data required to

inform port expansion planning over the next four yearsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These investigation works will be vital to ensuring that we have a comprehensive understanding of the conditions that exist both on land and under the sea bed as we get on with the job of planning to expand the port,â&#x20AC;? Mr Lean said.

He said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;vitalâ&#x20AC;? to accelerate the expansion of the Port of Hastings â&#x20AC;&#x153;if Victoria is to retain its status as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freight and logistics capital and secure our economic futureâ&#x20AC;?.

Mr Lean said the investigations were expected to start later this year and would involve geotechnical sampling at locations on land identified for port expansion, as well as at various locations throughout Western Port. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are highly technical works involving specialised equipment. We expect to receive tenders from experienced providers from Victoria and right around Australia.â&#x20AC;? Mr Lean said.

Hot air over Torres Strait ANALYSIS

Touching distance: Top, Australia’s closest neighbour Papua New Guinea lies just 3.5 kilometres from the Australian islands of Boigu and Saibai islands in Torres Strait.

Left, People from Papua New Guinea regularly arrive to trade at a market on Boigu Island in Torres Strait.

By Keith Platt THE latest chest-beating and outpourings of rage by politicians over four asylum seekers arriving in northern Australia via the Torres Strait smacks of hypocrisy.

It’s a sideshow, a distraction on the way to main event.

There’s nothing new about the porous nature of Australia’s northern frontier, especially with its nearest neighbour, Papua New Guinea.

The islands of Saibai and Boigu are the closest Australia gets to PNG, about 3.5 kilometres.

Only 17 of the 138 Torres Strait islands are inhabited, and residents of PNG’s closest villages can travel across the water without passport or visa, much as they have always done.

Church groups regularly come to Bamaga, on the Australian mainland. The 120-kilometre journey is no obstacle for people who live from the sea.

None of this is surprising for anyone who knows the area and none of it has ever been kept secret from Australian governments.

The saying “guns north, drugs south” is not made without reason.

If it’s possible to smuggle this type of contraband, why not people? Especially to an area where boat arrivals are more likely to be checked for carrying diseased fruit or poultry rather than identification.

A database of asylum seeker boats lists 15 arriving in the Torres Strait between May 1992 and May 2001 with 800 people on board.

The last man left in PNG’s Manus Island detention centre in 2004, Kuwait-born Aladdin Sisalem, arrived in Torres Strait by boat 18 months before.

The porous border also works in the other di-

rection. It was the route home chosen in 1992 by Malaysian Prince Raja Bahrin and the two children he reclaimed from his former wife, Jacqueline, when she was married to former Frankston resident, journalist Iain Gillespie. (She now writes an “agony aunt” column for a Sunday magazine as Jacqueline Pascarl.)

The prince – hailed a hero at home and a villain in Australia – took a boat across our northern frontier, choosing to make landfall in West Papua, the troubled Indonesian-controlled other half of what was once New Guinea. Being given safe passage through the Indonesian province made the last leg of that particular journey so much easier.

I went to Torres Strait five times over the course of 12 months in 2001, as part of a documentary crew hired to film part of ABC TV’s Island Life series.

There was nothing political about the storyline, unless you include scrambling aboard a seized Indonesian fishing boat before it was burned on the beach to kill infestations of rats and insects.

The “story” being chronicled by producer and cinematographer Terry Carlyon and I concerned the efforts being made to prevent deaths in the top end from tropical diseases, mainly the deadly Japanese encephalitis.

One of the shoots involved accompanying a group of scientists on a Royal Australian Navy patrol boat to Ker Island, a remote coral cay just south of the border between PNG and West Papua.

During a four-day stay on the coral cay, we found evidence of other visitors.

An empty, half-burned box of Indonesian matches lay in the embers of a campfire with the remains of a turtle.

Aboard the patrol boat at night, we would see the lights and hear the sound of an aircraft pass-

It’s not a new fire levy, it’s a fairer fire levy.

On 1 July 2013, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, the Victorian Government is replacing the old fire services levy with a fairer system.

Rather than being added to insurance premiums, the levy will now be collected with council rates. This means all property owners contribute a fair share to the Country Fire Authority or the Metropolitan Fire Brigade.

The levy is a fixed charge of $100 for residential properties and $200 for non-residential properties, plus a variable charge based on the property’s capital improved value.

All funds will go towards supporting Victoria’s fire services.

GST and stamp duty charged on the old levy have been removed and, for the first time, eligible pensioners and veterans will receive a $50 concession. These reforms will save households and business around $100 million a year.

BUSINESS FOCUS

way not new ing overhead. The skipper would go to the wheelhouse and speak with the crew of the Australian Customsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Coastwatch plane. He never said what they spoke about. All secret squirrel stuff.

About a week after returning to Melbourne, I saw a small news item about 14 refugees being picked up from that coral cay, where there was no fresh water and little else but a couple of palm trees and low-lying scrub. You could run around it in less than 30 minutes.

It seemed obvious Australian authorities had been tipped off. The chances of a ship or boat going near the place before people died of thirst or hunger were about as remote as the island itself.

Eventually, I gleaned a bit of information from the federal parliamentary Hansard.

Asylum seekers had been brought to the mainland, with eight (or nine) going to Port Headland.

The rest apparently escaped. To where or to what I was unable to find out.

This all happened while John Howard was prime minister, Bruce Billson was (and remains) federal MP for Dunkley (Seaford to Mornington), and Flinders MP Peter Reith was defence minister (he was succeeded as Flinders MP by Liberal colleague Greg Hunt in November 2001).

Tampa was yet to happen. The captain of the ship was decorated in Norway for saving asylum seekers while pilloried in Australia for taking them to Christmas Island and embarrassing the Howard government. Many have since settled in Australia after first being granted New Zealand citizenship.

During many hours of helicopter travel over Torres Strait, we would see young teenagers skilfully moving between the islands in their tinnies.

Their small outboards were fed fuel through a rubber tube inserted into the opening of a fourgallon tin.

One would stand in the bow holding a rope while the other steered through the coral reefs.

The islanders use tinnies like suburbanites use cars. On a Saturday morning they are lined up on the main beach at Thursday Island, much like the supermarket car park fills with cars.

The islanders have their own flag (often, but not always, flown alongside the Aboriginal flag) and appeared to sometimes have a disdain for authority. One memorable afternoon was enlivened for us by half a dozen men baring their backsides as Customs helicopter approached.

I doubt little has changed.

6XSSO\LQJ TXDOLW\ SULQW GHVLJQ VHUYLFHV IRU RYHU \HDUV Dog walking regulation changes

:H DUH JRLQJ IURP VWUHQJWK WR VWUHQJWK

Mornington Peninsula National Park Parks Victoria advises that changes to dog walking restrictions in the Mornington Peninsula National Park will apply from 1 September 2013.

The changes have been introduced to help protect all wildlife including the threatened shorebird, the Hooded Plover, and to consider the needs of all visitors.

The parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hooded Plover population is one of the largest in Victoria. However it has a lower level of breeding success than those in other Victorian coastal areas and is vulnerable to the presence of dogs.

Following extensive public consultation, the new restrictions include a total prohibition on dog walking throughout the year, with some regulated exceptions. Dogs are prohibited at all times in an additional 7km of coastline between Portsea and Flinders to protect breeding

Alternative areas for dog walking on the southern peninsula include some bay beaches and public reserves managed by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

What is reflux?

Reflux occurs when the acid in your stomach, which helps you digest your food, rises up into the oesophagus.

The stomach has a thick mucous lining that protects it from the acids inside, but the oesophagus doesn’t have this protection, so when it is exposed to acid it may become irritated and painful, leading to symptoms of heartburn.

What is heartburn?

Heartburn is a burning sensation that rises from the stomach or lower chest towards the throat. Heartburn is the most common symptom of reflux and GORD (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) Up to 20 per cent of adults experience heartburn at least once a week.

What to do when medication isn’t helping The first step in treating severe indigestion or GORD is anti-reflux medication.

When medication isn’t helping your symptoms, there is another solution.

At LAPSurgery Australia, we have the latest in manometry technology to accurately diagnose reflux disease. In our clinics you can be assessed, diagnosed, given dietary advice

and, if necessary, offered a surgical solution.

The operation is done laparoscopically and if you are a candidate for the surgery, you will be relieved of the terrible symptoms of reflux disease.

Patients who have had our procedure for reflux often ask

“Why didn’t anyone tell me about this sooner”?

A referral from your GP is required for consultation with Mr Chris Hensman regarding high resolution manometry (manoscan).

For appointments or queries, phone 9760 2777.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

The local ladies of science branch out, lady luck comes to the peninsula Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 August 1913.

THE niece of Cr J. Lloyd, of Langwarrin, Dr Georgina Sweet, Professor of Biology at the Melbourne University, left Victoria last week on a scientific tour of the world, and has been instructed by the Federal Government to make exhaustive enquiries in regard to the parasite known as nodules in cattle, which is the cause of serious deterioration in the quality of beef affected, and consequent loss to all concerned in providing beef for export or home consumption.

Her sister, Dr Elizabeth M. Sweet, who left this State to take charge as resident medical officer of the Lady Lamington Hospital for Women, in Brisbane, and later was appointed as resident medical officer of the Children’s Hospital in the same city, has been appointed by the Executive as Assistant Medical Inspector of Schools for Queensland. Mr George Sweet, A.G.S., the father of these talented lady doctors, who is well known in scientific circles as a geologist, is the brother of Cr J. Lloyd, the President of the Cranbourne Shire. *** Luck must turn to some district one time or other. Three well-known persons of this place were lucky enough to make a draw in Tattersalls. One drew a horse, and two friends drew a substantial prize. *** Mr S. S. Price, dentist, will attend at St Pancras, Frankston, on Sunday next, for the convenience of patients. *** Cr Godfrey Patterson notifies in this

issue that he again offers himself for re-election to a seat in the West Riding of the Shire of Flinders and Kangereng. *** Cr S Stephens and Mr W. A. Korner will address the electors of Mornington on Tuesday evening next, on municipal matters. *** A special horse sale will be conducted

by Messrs Brody and Mason at Somerville on Wednesday, 27th Aug, when over 100 good useful sorts of horses and ponies will be offered for sale. *** A clearing sale of stock and plant, on account of Mr T. L. Jensen, will be conducted at Cain’s farm, Boneo, by Messrs T. R. B. Morton and Son, on Friday, 29th August. *** Mr Norman Chirton, the well known Melbourne baritone, who has just returned from a successful tour of New Zealand, has kindly consented to sing at the Choral concert on the 80th inst.

Mr Chirton appeared for some time with the Periotts, at St. Kilda. *** The secretary of the Somerville Football Club desires to acknowledge the following donations to the club:Messrs G. G. Cole and S. S. Gault 10s 6d each, Mr J. Sage £1 1s, and Mr G. Reed 10s. *** At the Mornington shire council, held on Thursday, it was decided that a man be put on to assist the secretary in numbering the graves in the Moorooduc cemetery; also on that tenders be called for the work of clearing the paths of weeds.

*** The death occurred at her residence, 6 Edmund street, Clifton Hill, on Wednesday last, of Sarah Faulkner Ashmore, who was well-known and highly respected in Frankston.

Deceased, who was only 46 years of age, had been suffering for some time, so her end was not unexpected.

She leaves a husband and two sons to mourn their loss. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to them. *** An old identity of Frankston, in the person of Mrs Mills, passed peacefully away at a hospital in Melbourne on Saturday last. Some time ago the old lady had a fall, and injured her leg, and in spite of loving care and attention she never recovered from the shock. She lived to a ripe old age, and was a resident of Frankston for a great number of years. *** By the courtesy of Mr Thomas Murray, C. E., Engineer of the State Rivers and Water Commission, we have been furnished with the following additional information concerning the important conference on the water scheme at Mornington, reported in our last issue: Instead of Major Mansell we should have said Major Manser. With regard to the amount of water available, it should be stated that there was, with adequate storage at Monbulk Creek, sufficient to supply at least 12000 people, including Dandenong. It was stated that the cost of the preliminary work would be £450; we should have said not to exceed £450. *** A football match between teams representing the Frankston Brass Band

and the Frankston Football Club was played in the Frankston park on Saturday last. The game was fairly evenly contested, several Frankston players assisting the bandsmen.

After an interesting game, want of condition told on the bandsmen, and the Frankston team ran out winners.

The game was umpired by Mr A. Verney. During the interval, a collection was taken up, and the proceeds were divided between the football club and the band. The Frankston juniors journeyed to Mornington on Saturday, and suffered defeat at the hands of the locals. *** Owing to the great traffic here the roads are in a most disgraceful state, in some places being almost impossible to pass along. To drive from here to Bittern along the main road means endangering any vehicle to a broken axle. *** On Tuesday night a social was held in Crib Hall, but owing to the bad state of the roads the attendance was lot as large as it might have been. Dancing began at 8 pm. and kept going merrily till 11.30, when supper was handed round. After the appetites were fully satisfied, dancing was resumed until 2 a.m. Miss Romeo ably performed at the piano, while Mr Blair carried out the duties, in a proficient manner. *** Quite a gloom was cast over this district when the death of Mr Ryan, of Hastings, was announced. The district in general sympathise deeply with the widow and family. *** Everylady’s Journal, the Australian

magazine for women, is essentially a journal that is indispensable to the woman who is fighting to run her home on practical and up-to-date lines. The August issue, however, just published, strikes a strong note of general interest and entertainment with such articles as ‘The Litery Girl Who Goes to London,’ Miss Roberts on ‘Billiards for Women,’ The Story of Captain Oates,’ ‘The Splendour of the English Court,’ and some fine short stories.

Miss Geraldine Farrar, one of the most famous actresses in the world, has some interesting things to say on ‘Should an Actress Marry ?’ We quote: ‘My ideas on marriage? I do not wish to imply that my course is the only one; but it is the only one for me. Why should I marry? Matrimony look upon as some thing serious and apart. Love and matrimony do not wear the same pair of shoes. Marriage means propagation: two friends and a family.

The real mother has no time in which to become an artist. A woman cannot divide family interests with any other. I could not look forward to singing an ill child to sleep at home. I have a talent for being what I am; take me out of my sphere and domesticate me, and I am done.’

A morning star in our midst

By Haydn Godony MORNING Star Estate restaurant is well known as a desired destination for special moments. In February, owner Judy Barrett re-assumed dayto-day control and now offers a more family-friendly eatery, consciously priced to suit.

“Our menu is seasonally led and includes as much of Morning Star Estate’s produce as possible, including olives, quinces, lemons, grapes and lots of herbs,” executive chef Richard Keane said.

“We are not necessarily a special occasion venue, although we can be, but we also want people to feel comfortable calling in for a dessert and a coffee any time. We are conscious of keeping everything at a friendly price point.

“A lot of dishes feature a modern twist on old classics – combinations of favourite flavours, done a little differently.

“I like to eat and I enjoy cooking French and Italian – soul food, slow cooked with a lot of love.”

Popular mains include the organic, Otways-sourced pork belly, which is steam-baked overnight and then pressed and portioned.

Following a brief pan-searing, skin down to create crackling, the pork is coated with a honey-wine glaze, then partnered with pear and parsnip puree.

Matching the meat’s richness, with a contrast of sweet and tart, softly jus-

simmered shitake mushrooms share the plate. The garnish is red radish, grilled witlof and fresh herbs ($26).

The entree tuna is rolled in cracked pepper, sea salt and lemon zest prior to being quickly seared and then rechilled prior to serving thinly sliced.

The accompanying panzanala salad contains white anchovies, garlic croutons, torn witlof, fried capers, slow-dried cherry tomatoes and a dollop of gribiche sauce $18.

The four-item children’s menu includes a minute steak with fries and seasonal greens $14.

Lunch is from Wednesday to Sunday, dinner Friday and Saturday.

High tea is available on Sunday afternoons.

A Feast and Field festival will feature 5-6 October.

Morning Star restaurant is in Sunnyside Rd, Mt Eliza.

Jazz from hell – how I ruined music

By Stuart McCullough MUSIC is the food of love. But, truth be told, my own musical endeavours have been responsible for some pretty severe cases of food poisoning over the years. I’m sure some people play a few notes or hum a few bars and cause the world at large to swoon. That’s never been my experience. Most people play music for an audience. Not me. I’m lucky if even one person turns up. That’s not so much an audience as an audient. Nevertheless, I would play my heart out to the audient until that person would inevitably duck out to the toilets and never return.

In first year uni, I knew a guy called Bruce. He was extremely talented and had his heart set on being admitted to a course at the Victorian College of the Arts, specialising in musical improvisation. I’ve never been much for improvising, seemingly unable to let myself go and surrender myself to ‘the Force’. It was always the writing part about music that I liked the most and the idea of playing without a net violated every instinct and fibre in my being. For those reasons, as well a chronic lack of talent, I was an odd choice to accompany Bruce for his audition.

Bruce played saxophone and seemed to be able to channel a great sense of feeling at will. My piano playing efforts are best described as ‘meat-handed’ and somewhat devoid of subtlety.

Perhaps he wanted to create a contrast.

Or, alternatively, to generate a thought in the minds of those from the college along the lines of: things could be worse – we could have been stuck

with the guy on the piano. Or just elicit the sympathy vote.

With so much at stake, it was appropriate that we rehearse. But given that the work was meant to be improvised, it was hard to know exactly how far to take our preparations and how much should be left to dumb luck. Invariably, I would start with a few open chords and allow Bruce to find his way in. Where it went after that was pretty much anyone’s guess. Sometimes it seemed to follow a logical path, but on other occasions our instruments were engaged in some kind of musical tug of war. That said, there were moments when the results seemed – at least to us – kind of wonderful.

When the big day came, we headed

down to the Victorian College of the Arts. I had seen several episodes of the TV show Fame and fully expected students to be pirouetting down the hallways and breaking into song. For that reason, as well as comfort, I wore my best leg-warmers and leotard. Upon arriving, we were asked to sign in at reception. Taking my cue, I jumped back, span around, leapt on a chair and began to sing. As I surveyed the horrified faces around me, it began to dawn on me that – once again – I may be been misled by television.

We had to wait our turn and were both nervous. When Bruce’s name was called we were ushered into a small white room. Behind a trestle table sat three members of the faculty who, by

the looks on their faces, had all eaten prunes for breakfast. It was as if we’d stolen their parking spot and had run over the faculty cat in the process. We were unwelcome. It’s said that music soothes the savage beast. Having said that, I don’t recall the Crocodile Hunter ever singing a few bars of, Moonlight Becomes You So before throwing himself astride a one tonne reptile.

In retrospect, I would have been better off going the full Steve Irwin.

Instead of trying to placate them with music, I should have leapt from atop the upright piano and tackled them to the floor, tying them up before safely relocating them to a remote location where they could have been released into the wild. In all honesty, Bruce’s

chances of being accepted would have been vastly improved if I had.

I took a deep breath and began to play. As was my custom, I began with a few open chords and Bruce honked out a few notes. In terms of our improvisation, we tended to use ‘the volcano model’. This involves various tremors before a full-blown eruption and a quiet dissolution. Today, however, something was wrong. I’d head in one direction and Bruce would head in the other. It was as though the piano and saxophone were engaged in some kind of hand-to-hand combat. In a last ditch attempt to save the moment, I abandoned myself completely to the music. The music, however, rewarded this sign of faith with a complete cacophony that would make Van Gogh want to chop off the other ear just for some peace and quiet. Suddenly, I was like Jimi Hendrix, moments away from upending the piano and setting it on fire. My hands were nothing but a blur as I played, played and played…

In an instant, it was over. As I looked up, the remaining teacher looked horrified. Two had already left, leaving only an audient behind. Even Bruce looked a little shocked. My experimental jazz odyssey had gone seriously off the rails, travelling to a point of no return. Traditionally, auditions end with words like ‘we’ll be in touch’ or even ‘thank you’. On this occasion, we were told simply to, ‘get out’. I felt bad for Bruce, but I’m sure he’s gone onto something better. Or, if nothing else, learned to be more particular in who he asked to accompany him. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance HERE Comes the Night, the music of Van Morrison returns to Melbourne for one show only following a sold out performance at The Palais theatre earlier this year.

Here Comes The Night will provide a rare opportunity for the many fans of Van Morrison’s music to enjoy the magic of his remarkable body of work as performed by the exceptional talents of Joe Camilleri, Vince Jones and Vika Bull at the Palais Theatre on Friday November 29.

Joe Camilleri is the principal performer and Repertoire Director. A legend of Australian contemporary rock music through his bands Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons and The Black Sorrows, Joe has been a Van Morrison fan from the first stirrings of his interest in music. His knowledge of the Morrison Songbook combined with his understanding of Morrison’s R&B, Soul and Celtic arrangements make him the ideal celebrant of the genius of this enigmatic modern master.

Vince Jones is a regular headliner throughout Australia. Here he joins Joe to bring his own silky skills to Morrison’s jazz oriented arrangements.

Vika Bull’s recent starring role in At Last: Etta James landed her under a solo spotlight and reminded music fans of the soulful clarity and energy that she added to Joe’s Black Sorrows.

Morrison’s penchant for duet arrangements of his classics in concert provides the perfect vehicle for Joe, Vince and Vika to do likewise. To add to the brilliant line-up on stage will be The Voodoo Sheiks and The Silo String Quartet.

Here Comes the Night: Songs from Van Morrison; the Palais Theatre, Friday 29 November. Tickets 136 100. *** RAISED in records and rock ‘n’ roll radio in New Jersey, “The Boss” articulated the hopes and dreams of America’s post-Vietnam generation in a society the seemed to have lost its way.

Elvis Presley’s performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Then aged 13, he purchased a second hand guitar and learned to play Elvis and Chuck Berry songs. He later joined a school band.

It was producer, Steve Van Zandt who introduced Springsteen to a ‘hard edge’ in music and in 1975 the result was Born to Run and Springsteen’s re-christening as “The Boss”. The debuted at No.3 in the US and the album established him so firmly as a star that his career was able to survive despite litigation form former producer Mike Appel.

Springsteen became a bona fide rock superstar with his next album, Born in the USA, an album which sold over 12 million copies, stayed in the UK charts for more than two years.

*** FOR the first time ever in Australia the Emmy Award winning drama, Tour of Duty, is being released on DVD in its glorious entirety. Complete with timeless original soundtrack the 58 episode box set focuses on a single platoon of young U.S. soldiers during their tour of combat duty in Vietnam during the late 1960’s.

Following twelve infantrymen, the show depicts soldiers from diverse racial, cultural and philosophical backgrounds facing enemy troops and struggling to survive the hostile terrain of South East Asia. The show addresses issues of politics, faith, teamwork, racism, suicide, fragging, terrorism, civilian deaths, drug abuse, and the shattered lives and confused feelings of those troops who finally made it home alive.

All the action take place set to the back drop of iconic of the biggest artists and greatest songs of the era, including Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Steppenwolf, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Chuck Berry, Roy Orbison and the unforgettable theme tune Paint It Black

by The Rolling Stones.

Starring Terence Knox, Kevin Conroy, Stephen Caffrey, Joshua Maurer, Steve Akahoshi, Tony Becker, Eric Bruskotter, Stan Foster, Ramon Franco, Miguel A. Nunez Jr, Dan Gauthier and Kyle Chandler.

Bonus features include the making of documentary The Story of Tour of Duty Part 1 (55 minutes) featuring cast and crew, brand new documentaries Back to the Jungle (29 minutes) and The Final Mission (24 minutes) featuring cast and crew character biographies.

“Never separate the working man from his beer and cigarettes” said the great Ben Chifley. You’re not real Labor Kevvy; you’ve blown it and in the process sentenced we real Labor supporters to Tony Abbott. The Greens will support it and Abbott will keep it but you started it Kevvy. *** I WONDER why non-smokers are consistently taking the time to rubbish us in their letters to the newspapers?

Their right-minded thinking (according to them) reminds me of the ins and outs of a duck’s bum. Hey, there’s a mere 13 per cent of us left. Calm down, bask in your victory. Indulge yourselves with latte’s sitting outside in the clean air. Not too much sugar and away from car exhausts. And salt; cut down on the salt, let your nippers and dogs run wild. Oh, and keep an eye on the road for 70 and over car drivers. *** THIS upcoming election preamble is sure to be a pain so in deference to my readers I’ll have my say quickly and promise no more politics until after 7 September. Who we vote for is of no consequence on the Mornington Peninsula but it matters along the Frankston line.

Both parties are appealling for the redneck and bigot vote with heaps of misinformation as to our economy and social services, not to mention the

frighteners on border security and whinging small business owners.

Tony Abbott is a shoe in on the basis of “it’s time” and American Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers daily attacks on Labor, so if nothing else we can find out if little Joey Hockey is the real deal and hopefully the Senate vote give us a measure of order.

They both present their arguments on what they think we think and both give billions in tax concessions on superannuation to the wealthiest 5 per cent. Said Tony: “We’ll build a stronger economy so that everyone will get ahead”-always assuming you have private transport and can afford the petrol.

From Nancy in Oliver the musical: “If you don’t mind going without things, it’s a fine fine life”. Go on, sing it. Lift your spirits. Close your eyes, get a pin and press down. *** THERE’S a lull in the air on the Mornington Peninsula. A form of mild preelection satisfaction. The Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, like the extension freeway to Sorrento is relegated to fantasy and council has voted almost unanimously against the Arthurs Seat Dromana quarry tip proposal.

Then there’s the “no entertainment/ no nonsense” proposal for the Rye New Year’s Eve celebrations to thwart those looking to engage in anti-social behaviour. Finally we are hushed in

anticipation for the results of the state parliamentary committee trip to Europe to ascertain “local economic development initiatives in Victoria” from luminaries Geoff Shaw, Inga Peulich, Martin Foley, Ben Carroll, Neale Burgess and Christine Fyffe. Expect nothing, regret nothing. *** THE difference between art and pornography? Obviously, pornography engenders lust whereas art engenders admiration for the glory and beauty of the human body. James Joyce’s Ulysses was judged not obscene on the grounds that offensive language in a literary work is not obscene where it does not promote lust.

Those early Peter Carter-Brown books promoted lust. The detective takes a blonde into his room and the following line was invariably: “The next morning?”

Youthful times imbibing over an ale at Young and Jacksons with the young nymph Chloe looking down on me, with no thoughts of lust before the fifth pot. Ahh, the guilt from those drawings in Man magazines in the 1950s. *** TONY’S guru (Johnny Howard) did it, so why can’t Tony? Easy peasy. The highest-taxing government in history, privatisation and almost nothing on infrastructure, not to mention interest rates and inflation. Here in Victoria

A Grain of Salt PEOPLE get paid real money to tell us what happiness is? A Collingwood victory is happiness; a loss is misery.

An honest real estate agent can bring happiness.

Professor Ed Diener is supposedly “the world’s leading researcher into happiness”. Nothing against Ed, but surely over the top?

Ed says: “Bad things will happen to us all, but we can actually choose to be happy” and “happiness is caused by relationships, goals and habits – and not by lots of money”.

Good stuff Ed, and they pay you big money? As I’ve said before the big three-music, laughter and good company. Joys and sorrows are annexed Ed, as is love. Good fortune cannot last forever, ask Nathan Tinkler. Ed added there are certain routes to happiness; you’re right there Ed; I wish. *** NSW ALP powerbroker Lebanese born Eddie Obeid has been the subject of corruption charges as a result of investigations tabled by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. True, his actions could seriously damage Kevin Rudd’s election chances, but my anti-Rudd rant is his cigarette tax on a tax (including col adjustments) furthering his ‘holier than thou’ paranoia on refusing the poor among us and pensioners the freewill opportunity to have a cigarette.

Tigers maul Bombers while Buds eliminate Panthers NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly THE long awaited battle between Sorrento and Dromana will take place this Saturday after the Tigers crushed Frankston Bombers by 77 points in the Nepean League Qualifying Final.

While in Sunday’s Elimination Final played at Hastings, Rosebud knocked Pearcedale out of the finals’ race with a 22-point win.

In Saturday’s match Dromana dominated Frankston Bombers from the opening bounce however, according to coach Gavin Artico, he didn’t believe his side played its best football.

Even if it was considered a “par” performance from the coach, the win still netted 12 goal kickers and 34 scoring shots to 17 in favor of Dromana.

The game certainly didn’t reach any great heights in terms of a contest however, there were flashes of brilliance from both sides.

A couple of spearing tackles from Dromana’s Sam Guerts and skipper Rikki Johnston were highlights of the match and typified the difference between the sides.

Frankston Bombers kicked goals in only two quarters of football, booting four in each of the second and final quarters with the aid of the wind.

Dromana on the other hand was consistent, as you would expect, booting four, five, five and six goals across the four quarters.

Artico said he believed the game lacked the spark of a final.

“Look, it was a good day at the office and I am rapt that we came away with the win,” Artico said.

“Even more pleasing was that we got through the game unscathed and Christian Ongarello is up and ready to take on Sorrento this weekend. We’ll have an absolute full list to choose from.”

Artico said that he was surprised with the lack of intensity in the game early.

“We certainly didn’t come out and play the brand of footy that I was looking for early and I thought Frankston was a bit flat too. There wasn’t that finals tempo,” Artico said.

“Our second half was much better than our first half and I was really pleased to see our guys doing the hard things right to the final siren.

“We probably wasted a lot of opportuntiies in front of goal, especially with the wind; however, I was pleased with our workrate against the wind.”

“It was a solid peformance and one that we can build on for our hit out against Sorrento.”

Paul Minchington was one of the best players on the ground, finishing with four goals for the Tigers, while Toby Banks booted three.

Michael Hunter played a dominating game in the back half, despite being dragged deep defensively, and Toby Banks was a stand out.

“Micky Hunter was no doubt our best player and he just ran and rebounded all afternoon for us,” Artico said.

“Toby (Banks) is really playing the kind of footy that we expect from him consistently and he was great in the win, along with Jay Neratzoglou and Stuart Cleeve. I also thought Luke O’Neil gave us plenty playing in the last line when we were kicking against the breeze,” Artico said.

While Frankston Bombers coach Duncan Proud was disappointed to lose, he believed his team performed pretty well.

“There was certainly no reason to get upset or angry with the players after the match because I thought generally, we played pretty well,” Proud said.

“I just thought we could have used the footy a lot better going forward,

Southern Peninsula News 22 August 2013

rather than sitting it on Zac (Longham) and Scotty’s (Foster) head all day.

“We ran the ball pretty well but just weren’t smart kicking the ball inside our attacking zone,” Proud said.

The Bombers went into the game without Sam Drake, although he will be available this weekend.

“We certainly missed Sam because he has beaten all of his opponents this season, however, we’ve got some depth in our defence and I thought it held up pretty well,” Proud said.

Jay Page, Matt Harris and Brian O’Carroll were the outstanding players for the Bombers while Haydn Moore was very good in the ruck.

The loss did come at a cost for the Bombers, however, with Jason Bedford hurting his shoulder and coming from the ground in the last quarter.

Proud said X-Rays revealed no damage to Bedford but he did concede that he could be doubtful for this weekend’s match.

Rosebud coach Nick Jewell was able to help guide his side to its first

finals win since it won the flag in 2007.

Rosebud has lost the past three Elimination Finals and while Sunday’s performance wasn’t spectacular, a win is a win in a do-or-die final.

The Buds led Pearcedale by 12 points at quarter time, by seven points at half time and 21 points at three quarter time before recording the 14.8–92 to 10.10–70 victory.

Ben Shultz finished with three goals for the Buds while they also got great service from Tom Baker, as well as Ryan Spooner, Matt Payne and Lachy Armstrong, all of whom kicked two goals.

Dylan Hoare booted three for the Panthers, while Pat Heijden was restricted to just one goal.

After the match, Jewell said while the win wasn’t pretty, he’ll take it over a loss.

“We made some really silly mistakes, which cost us goals and we’re going to have to tidy that up before next week against the Bombers.”

Jewell said it was his players run

that won them the game.

“When we played them the first time, we were only up by ten points at half time but really outran them in the second half.

“I thought the way the game was poised that we could do the same thing again, which we did.

“We ran hard both ways and really ensured that the opposition forwards had plenty of Rosebud numbers to deal with.”

Jewell said his players’ mindset shifted very quickly to Frankston Bombers straight after the game.

“I know we beat them by 40 points two weeks ago but they had five or six players out and really had nothing to play for. This week will be much different.

“We all went out for dinner together after the match and we’ll do recovery on Monday night at the surf club, as we have done all season.

“There’s going to be some cracking finals this weekend and I’m glad we’re still part of it all,” Jewell said.

Doggies celebrate big night with finals campaign launch PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly MORNINGTON will play Peninsula League finals in 2013 after getting the job done in a must-win game against Pines on Saturday.

All footy supporter’s eyes were firmly planted on the Pythons and the Doggies.

The equation going into the final round was simple. The winner between Mornington and Pines would play finals football.

There was a hitch, however. If the Dogs won, they had to hope that Karingal didn’t beat Seaford by a margin greater than five goals more than their own winning margin.

As it turned out, Mornington defeated Pines by 33 points, which meant that the Bulls needed to win by more than 10 goals. They didn’t, only beating Seaford by three points.

It was a sea of celebration for the Doggies, who were written-off by many four weeks ago.

However, they came out firing in the second half, booting six goals to two and recording what turned out to be a comfortable victory.

It was a massive day and night for the Mornington Football Club, who honoured their ‘Team of Our Time’ on Saturday night.

Coach Stuart Seagar said it was an outstanding result for the whole club.

“The committee has done a wonderful job for so many years and I was just so happy for all of them that we could repay them by getting into the finals,” Seagar said.

“But now that we are there, we just don’t want to make up the numbers.

“Our goal at the beginning of the season was to play finals footy and we have achieved that. But there’s no point getting there if you’re not willing to sacrifice and have an impact.

“We beat Edithvale-Aspendale earlier in the season and we are confident that our best football will get the desired result again.

“Our kids led the way on Saturday

and I thought we were able to show some of the character that I believe we have lacked at times this season.

“At different stages in games this year I have looked for extra effort and sometimes we haven’t been able give it.

“However, on Saturday, after a slow start we were able to lift and thenrespond to the situation when it counted.

“Our intentions were great in the third quarter and our last quarter, against the breeze, was superb.

“We managed to kick three goals to Pines’ one point in the final quarter, which I thought was outstanding against the wind.

“It’s time now to take that form and display it next week against Edithvale,” Seagar said.

Pines booted the first three goals of

the match against the breeze before the Doggies kicked six of the next seven goals.

Emilio Bitters was in spectacular form and finished with four goals for the match and ‘Tommy’ Simpson was outstanding with three goals.

Anthony Franchina also kicked three goals for the winners and Kallum Searle was back and doing a job in the forward half with two majors.

Daniel Moss continues to dominate and Chris Baker was at the top of his game.

For Pines, Brendan Neville and Guy Hendry (three goals) were among their team’s best, while Shaun White was also very good with three goals.

How does Frankston YCW do it?

On Saturday against Edithvale– Aspendale, the Stonecats were outplayed for the majority of the match, however, in 25 minutes, turned it on

and won the game.

The Eagles booted seven goals to one in the first quarter and at half time, despite not scoring in the second term, still led by 28 points.

At three quarter time, the visitors maintained their lead, although it had been chopped to just 19 points.

The last quarter was one way traffic – all Frankston YCW’s way.

The home team booted five goals to one point in the last term and recorded a 13.15–93 to 11.9–75 win.

The reality was that the Eagles booted just four goals to YCW’s 12 after quarter time.

David Bodley finished the afternoon with five goals for the winners, while Kyle Hutchison, Byron Barry and Anthony Barry dominated.

Timmy Mannix and Mark Mullins were fantastic contributors for the Eagles and Markham Johnson won the

battle of the big fellas in the ruck.

Edithvale will now play in the Elimination Final against Mornington this weekend.

Mt Eliza was the big winner of the round, ending a disastrous season for Chelsea.

The Redlegs finished the afternoon with 55 scoring shots to Chelsea’s 14, winning 31.24–210 to 9.5–59.

Sam Wettenhaall finished the afternoon with seven goals for the Redlegs, while Josh Norman and Scott Lockwood booted four each. Mt Eliza had 12 goal kickers.

Chelsea’s main contributor on the scoreboard was Joel Connelly with three goals, while Jessie O’Dell and Rory Gregg were among the team’s best.

Bonbeach completed the expected and beat Langwarrin, winning 12.17–89 to 7.10–52.

The Sharks gave the Kangas a three goal head start before booting five of the next six goals. The margin was only two goals at three quarter time, before the Sharks booted six goals to two in the final term.

Gary Carpenter played arguably his best game of the year for Bonbeach while Ricky Ferraro and Dylan Jones were also at the top of their games.

Shane McDonald was the leading scorer on the ground with four goals, which was enough to ensure that he won the league goal kicking award.

Luke Damon finished with three for the Kangas and Andrew Withers and Beau Muston picked up the major votes.

At three quarter time on Saturday, Karingal looked to be on track to make a run for the finals.

It led by 35 points and all it needed was a big last quarter to achieve the 10 goal margin it was aiming for.

However, Seaford came back in the final term, booted five goals to two points and got within a kick at the final siren.

Karingal defender Luke Van Raay was the best player on the ground.

Bringing back old-fashioned service PENINSULA Gas & Fuel is a family-owned and operated company distributing LP gas, Industrial and Beverage Gas cylinders to the Mornington Peninsula.

Their core business area is domestic LP gas, including 45kg, 15kg and 9kg barbecue cylinders. They also act as agents on behalf of Supagas, distributing Beverage and Industrial gases to their customers on the Mornington Peninsula.

They are kept busy year round with heating gas in the winter and barbecue gas during the summer.

“We have a great service on 9kg gas bottles,” said company spokeswoman Nicole. “For just $25, we’ll come to you and do a bottle swap. It is quick and convenient, with next day and sometimes even same day delivery.”

While they are at your place dropping of your gas bottle, they can also check your barbecue and hoses for leaks and wear and tear. It also saves people from carting gas cylinders in their vehicles to be swapped over or filled, as LP Gas is a dangerous product.

Another major component of their business is a fully-equipped service station trading as Dick’s Friendly Service Station, located at their depot at 16 Colchester Road, Rosebud (Rosebud Industrial Estate).

They have a wide range of products, including diesel, ULP, 98 Premium and Auto Gas, which is Pure Propane. Pure Propane is like buying 100 per cent premium for your vehicle: it gives you much better fuel consumption and keeps your car healthier – which most people notice during their services.

“Our main purpose is to bring service back into the petrol station industry,” said Nicole.

“For those who request it, we offer full driveway service including refilling their car, checking their tyres, and oil and water.”

The Wugubank friendship will continue

By Vivienne Wearne – Principal IT is with absolute pride, along with the 10 adults who accompanied Year 5 & 6 to Wugularr and surrounds, that I commend the students on the wonderful way they embraced the opportunity to learn and be with their friends from Wugularr with such openness and friendship.

A most remarkable experience, to witness the interactions of the Wugubank Mob and learn from their very rich Aboriginal culture was an absolute gift that was so warmly bestowed upon us by the Wugularr Community.

Beginning with three days at the school, our time was spent practicing for and participating in Walking with Spirits, their cultural celebration, playing games, especially footy, visiting Ngarbi (Top Yard), a spiritual place where no other white children have ever been taken, exploring the Nitmilik – Katherine Gorge (Rainbow Serpent country), and finally Litchfield National Park. We also learnt about the importance of Sorry time, as there was a funeral held in the community during our stay.

This is the second time our students have visited the Wugularr Community. No words can really describe what we all felt and learnt during this time.

Within an environment so diverse in every way from our own, it was simply a most powerful time of learning, sharing, giving and receiving through friendship and respect.

If there is anything that we all learnt so well, it is the ability to genuinely

listen and absorb what you hear and feel without judgment and comment.

In remote corners of our country, we were invited to participate in the most amazing sights, sounds and experiences. It was truly a privilege to be with the Wugubank Mob throughout this

eight-day stay. I was so proud of each and every child, and I thank with all my heart the adults who so beautifully cared for the children and engaged so positively with the Wugularr community in every way.

Thank you staff: Paul Thompson,

Troy Cochrane, David Quin, Toni Hutton, Matt Chambers and Chris Dinnage; Parents: Vanessa Gabriel, Andrew Weber and Louise Evenden, the Wugularr Principal, Stephen Hill and teachers, Wugularr Store Proprietors, Pete and Barb, and the Wugularr

community including very special times with Frankie Lane and the director of Walking with Spirits, Tom E Lewis.

Thank you all for your generosity, hard work and friendship. Wugubank – until we meet again. Boh Boh!

Caring doctors are a definite health advantage AFTER Doctor Manish Bhasin migrated from the United Kingdom in 2008, he noticed a gap in the local medical industry.

There were very few, if any, bulk-billing medical providers in the area. He set about establishing Advantage Medical, and hasn’t looked back.

“We have been going for four years now and have practices in Crib Point, Tooradin, Baxter, Rosebud, and now Mt Eliza,” said Dr. Bhasin.

“We have a very simple aim. To provide quality and affordable care to the local community in a family practice environment.”

Advanatge Medical was a pioneer of bulk-billing in the area, often being the first bulk-billing practice to open.

“We believe in supporting the community.

Both the local community and the medical community,” said Dr. Bhasin. “I am a supervisor of new GP’s and we take medical students from Melbourne University. We believe in assisting with GP training.”

Mt Eliza is the group’s newest practice, and has been joined by Dr West (pictured) who has migrated with his family from the UK. “Dr West has settled locally and ads to the good mix of doctors we have,” said Dr Bhasin. “They are all very experienced. The doctors are very approachable and friendly.

“The nurses and staff are very caring.

Being a new clinic, they are happy to take new patients and looking forward to caring for them.”

Come and visit Advantage Medical at 1297 Nepean Hwy, Mt Eliza, for your next medical appointment. You will not be disappointed!

Southern Peninsula News 22 August 2013

AS part of the ROSEBUDDIES community campaign platform, Rosebud Plaza have made a commitment to continue to raise awareness for Seawinds Community Hub. The hub hosts a community lunch every Wednesday and the Rosebud Plaza have offered to help out when the hub is hosting a bigger than usual lunch.

The next big event will be in recognition of White Balloom Day and will be held on Wednesday 4 September at Seawinds Community Hub. Rosebud Plaza Centre Management staff volunteer at the Hub to help out on the day. It is expected that 60 – 80 locals will attend for a two course meal prepared and cooked at the Hub. Ingredients will be donated by Rosebud Plaza Centre Management & retailers (Woolworths, Coles, Bakers Delight and cafes). As all the ingredients are donated, all of the $5 fee will go to Bravehearts. The lunch will be themed white.

‘White Balloon Day’, which is on Friday 6 September, coincides with National Child Protection Week 1 -7 September.

The day is Bravehearts signature event held annually during Child Protection Week to raise awareness about child sexual assault and help empower survivors to break their silence.

This year’s goal is to raise $500,000 to help make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child.

One in five children will be sexually assaulted.

You can easily help us reduce this alarming statistic by organising a white themed event at your school or workplace or simply tie a white balloon to your letterbox to show your support.

Money raised will support education, preven-

tion and counselling programs for children who have been sexually assaulted.

Bravehearts was founded by Hetty Johnston during Child Protection Week, September 1997.

It is a registered charity whose members comprise survivors, parents, friends, partners, professionals and non-abusive members of the community who share in the belief that child sexual assault must stop. It aims to empower, educate and protect by providing healing and support, engendering child sexual assault prevention and protection strategies; advocating for understanding and promoting increased education and research. It operates in four states across the Eastern sea board with headquarters in Queensland and offices in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.

Time to give your car a post-winter check NOW that the worst of the winter weather is over, bring your car in for a good check-up and make sure it is in good working order for the coming warmer months.

According to the RACV website, the most common problem affecting motorists during warmer months is an overheating engine, but a few simple checks can reduce your risk of being stranded.

The pre-summer checklist should include not only the radiator and cooling system, but also the electrical system, brakes and tyres, plus an overall “spring clean”.

Cooling system TOP up your radiator coolant to the required level, taking care to add the correct amount of coolant mixture as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Check all radiator hoses (including heater hoses) for firmness, replace any that are spongy or leaking, and keep spares of the main hoses and belts in the boot for emergencies.

The fan belt and any other drive belts, such as for air-conditioning or power steering, need to be inspected thoroughly – for fraying and correct tension – so they do not slip, and any belts that are even slightly frayed should be replaced.

Electrical BATTERIES manufactured today are maintenance free but you should check the water levels and top them up if necessary. Use distilled water –

never use tap water as it will harm the battery.

Routine maintenance should include removing any corrosion from the battery terminals, which can then be smeared with petroleum jelly to slow the corrosion process. An added

precaution is to wipe the high tension leads, spark plugs and distributor cap with a dry cloth.

Tyres ALL tyres, including the spare, must be properly inflated to cope with the demands of long trips and hot

weather. Check the pressures when the tyres are cold.

Recommended tyre pressures are printed on a sticker affixed to most cars. Tread depth should not be less than a match head, while many tyres now have tread wear indicators to

remove the guesswork.

Uneven wearing of tyres may indicate a fault with the steering, suspension or wheel alignment, and these items should be checked if in doubt.

Brakes CONSULT a brake specialist if the car has a tendency to pull to one side when braking, if the brake pedal goes too close to the floor or has any other symptoms that seem unusual.

Check the hand brake as well – park the car on a hill, put it in neutral and, if it does not hold firm on the handbrake, have it checked and adjusted.

Clean lights and windows CAR windows should always be kept clean, as dirty glass can drastically reduce the driver’s vision when heading towards oncoming headlights or a low sun. Dirt increases the effect of glare.

Exterior dirt is easy to wash off, but it can be a constant battle to keep the inside of the glass free from the hazy film that builds up when a car is parked in the sun.

The “haze” can usually be wiped off with a chamois, methylated spirits, or most domestic glass or general cleaners, but there is no magic formula to eliminate the problem altogether.

For good visbllity, keep the windscreen washer bottle topped up, and clean all lights and lenses.
