The family owned and run business has been thriving since it started ten years ago, taking over from an established 50 year business. “We make sure to always offer the best service, product and advice to our customers and have a huge range of bikes,” said owner, Peter Seal. “We can give advice on the best bike for you and our range includes bikes and accesso-
ries for all styles of riding.” With Christmas fast approaching, it’s a great time to layby and Sealy’s Cycles can offer great advice on the right way to go with your bike purchase, whether it’s for your child or an adult.

WITH the festive season upon us, The Good Guys Mornington will play Secret Santa as it surprises a deserving local individual or family with a much needed gift this Christmas. With Christmas being a time of giving, The Good Guys Mornington Store General Manager, Tony Coco, is thrilled to be able to provide support and give back to the local Mornington community at Christmas, and all year-round. “Doing good is at the heart of everything we do at The Good Guys and we are committed to continuing our community support at both Christmas time and long into the future,” Tony said. “We understand that Christmas is meant to be a time of joy and togetherness but it isn’t always possible because of circumstance.” “We are working to identify a deserving individual or family in our community to grant their Christmas wish and spread our ‘Doing Good’ joy to those who need it most,” Tony continued. The Good Guys Mornington donates to local community partners all year round through its Local Giving Program which was started in 2007. The Good Guys Mornington proudly supports the Australian Volunteer Coastguard, Orange Sky Laundry and Ministry of Food Australia through its Local Giving Program, and has supported numerous other local charities and community groups over the years through donations and sponsorships.
“We strongly believe in strengthening our community by supporting programs, services and projects at a grassroots level and we are delighted to witness the impact our ongoing support has on the local community,” concluded Tony. The Local Giving Program sees a percentage from each transaction, in-store and online, donated to the store’s local community partners. Customers are encouraged to participate in the Local Giving Program by choosing which charity they want their donation to go to by dropping a special Doing Good token in the dedicated token box for their chosen charity as they complete their transaction.

Players shine at golf ‘carnivale’ THE rain didn’t dampen the spirits of players at Sorrento Community Centre’s ‘golf carnivale’ at Portsea Golf Club, Friday 6 November. The keen players were raising money for the centre’s Children’s Early Learning Centre. After the game, members of the centre’s Cafe Catchup Club ate lunch, bid at an auction and were confounded by the illusions of magician, Amazing Felix. The centre’s next major community project is the Connected Garden – which will use the surrounding grounds to link the skate park with user-friendly amenities. Organiser Caroline Taylor said that once opened, the garden would “surprise and delight families and visitors�. Sorrento Community Centre’s calendar of art, computer and sports courses activities is at sorrentocommunitycentre.com Details: Sorrento Community Centre, call 59 84 3360 or email promotions@sorrentocc.org.au Office hours are 9am-3pm Monday to Friday.
Hot days trigger early beach reports Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE Environment Protection Authority has started testing water quality at Port Phillip beaches a month earlier than planned after a warmer than usual spring. The authority checks if the water is suitable for swimming ever week at 36 beaches including 10 on the Mornington Peninsula – Canadian Bay (Mt Eliza), Mills Beach (Mornington), Mt Martha, Safety Beach, Dromana, Rosebud, Rye, Blairgowrie, Sorrento and Portsea. It puts water quality updates on its Beach Report website and via Twit-
MCCARTHY PARTNERS PTY
ter twice a day. Reports started on 31 October and will be done until April, a month later than usual. The warning system has green, orange or red "lights" to tell swimmers if the water is suitable or if bacterial levels are too high. Green (good) predicts that water quality is suitable for swimming, orange (fair) means the water is good but could be affected by rainfall – particularly if the beach has a stormwater outlet – and red (poor) warns people to avoid contact with the water. The EPA said forecast signs were also placed at life saving club beaches from December. On the peninsula, this includes Mornington, Mt Martha and Rosebud clubs.

"Forecasts are based on the recreational water quality history of the beach, currents, predicted rainfall and sunlight," a spokesman said. "Beach Report keeps people informed about the recreational water quality through daily forecasts. People can make informed decisions about where to swim." Water samples are collected at Beach Report sites once a week during summer. "The samples are tested for enterococci, a group of bacteria found inside warm-blooded animals. Enterococci is recognised as the best indicator for measuring faecal contamination of marine recreational waters. "During poor forecasts there may be
a higher risk of illness to swimmers from increased bacterial levels. A common illness is gastroenteritis. People should see a doctor if they have a suspected swim-related illness." State water minister Lisa Neville said the hot start to spring "and expected long summer meant the beach report had started a month early and would go a month later to April". She said summer was expected to be hotter and drier than average. If it did rain heavily, stormwater runoff could affect the quality of Port Phillip. "High bacteria levels normally clear within 24 hours." The EPA issued few warnings for peninsula beaches last summer and
autumn. Among the more notable were when Rye boat ramp was dredged in March, a sewage spill affected Mills Beach at Mornington in March, and a sewage spill closed Fishermans Beach, also at Mornington, in April. This was a big improvement on the summer of 2011-12 when an algal bloom stretching from Mt Eliza to McCrae caused major concern, and February 2013 when blooms at Mornington closed two of its four swimming beaches. The EPA said it relied on the community to report pollution, environmental hazard or other activities potentially harmful to the environment. Its pollution hotline is 1300 372 842.

Hall of fame for 3 peninsula tourism operators THREE Mornington Peninsula tourism businesses have been inducted into the Victorian Tourism hall of fame after winning gold medals in their categories for three consecutive years. Searoad Ferries, Enchanted Adventure Garden and Tree Surfing, and Stillwater at Crittenden were honoured at the 31st awards night in Melbourne. Searoad was doubly rewarded when its CEO, Matthew McDonald, won gold in the young achievers award. Aquabelle Apartments in Rye won the inaugural "Self-contained accommodation" category.
Erin Joyce of the Victoria Tourism Industry Council said the awards had benefited Victoria's $21 billion tourism industry by "showcasing and celebrating the high standard of business excellence across the state". More than 3000 businesses had entered the awards over more than 30 years and benefited from a thorough examination of their business practices. Peninsula winners included: Peninsula Hot Springs, Fingal – gold medal, ecotourism category. Searoad Ferries, Sorrento and Queenscliff –
gold (and hall of fame), major tour and transport operators. Horseback Winery Tours, Main Ridge – finalist, tour and transport operators. Enchanted Adventure Garden and Tree Surfing, Arthurs Seat – gold (and hall of fame), adventure tourism. Extreme Watersport, Rosebud – finalist, adventure tourism. Wine Food Farmgate, Mornington Peninsula – gold, destination marketing. Stillwater at Crittenden, Dromana – gold (and hall of fame), tourism restaurants and catering
services. Polperro Villa Accommodation, Red Hill – finalist, tourism restaurants and catering services. Harmony Bed and Breakfast, Fingal – gold, hosted accommodation. Green Olive, Red Hill – gold, excellence in food tourism. Matthew McDonald, Searoad Ferries – gold, young achievers award. Winners will represent Victoria at the Australian Tourism Awards next February. Details: www.victoriantourismawards.com.au Mike Hast
Marks are there for a fine footy future Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au WHILE footy fans sit with their feet up waiting for the new season many players are already putting in the hard yards to get up to speed for preseason training having been awarded a scholarship to the AFL Academy. Luke Davies-Uniacke, a 17-year-old midfielder from Rye, has his eyes on the prize of an AFL playing career and is determined to keep improving his game to try to make his dream a reality. In 2011 The News reported the then under-12 player represented Victoria at the School Sport Australia Championships in Canberra and Luke has hit every mark in the intervening years. He snared a hat-trick of Best and Fairest awards at Rye Junior Football Club in 2010, 2012 and 2013 and was voted B&F in the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League in the same years. Last year Luke was selected to represent Victoria in the under-15s National Football Championship in Sydney and wore ‘the Big V’ with pride. Now the teenager, who also plays up forward, has his sights set on the big league while training at the AFL Academy. “I’ve been doing a bit of gym preseason three times a week so that’s been pretty full on,” he said. “I’ve sort of set a goal for myself to be a bit bigger and stronger than last year.” A two-year program at the AFL Academy sees players meet AFL players, coaches and game day analysts to learn from the best in the game. There were 203 graduates of the AFL Academy on AFL lists last season, including nine club captains. Luke also plays for the Dandenong Stingrays and his school Haileybury College in Keysborough but is keeping his feet firmly on the ground despite his footballing progress to date. “I’ve learned that nothing comes easy … and basically I’ve got to be able to kick with both feet, handball both sides and be bigger and stronger than my opponent every year because there’s always that one person who wants to work harder than you on and off the field so it comes down to hard work.” Luke, a Hawthorn fan, admits a shot at an AFL career is not a given, and he’s still one year away from being a possible draft pick, but he says he would jump at the chance to play for “any Melbourne side” given the chance. Looking at his career stats the name Luke Davies-Uniacke could be one to look out for local AFL fans come draft time next year.
Party plan fades ROSEBUD police acted quickly online to shut down an unauthorised party being held on the Rye foreshore, Friday night. They noticed the event titled “Beach gath, rye, Friday night, BYO” on Facebook and used their own page to comment: “Thanks for the invite Lleam, Tyson and Lochie. “Rosebud police will definitely be attending! PS. Did you remember to get your permits from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council?” At the time, 99 people had signalled their interest in the event, 188 were going and 916 invited. It was looking like being a big night, but interest faded when it became known the police were also keen on attending. While the Facebook description did initially make reference to alcohol, and instructed guests to eat before they arrived, it was stripped clean of all party details by Friday afternoon. Police say their univited comments achieved what they set out to do and the event was cancelled.
Carols on the park
Harder, better, faster, stronger: Luke Davies-Uniacke has ticked every box on his journey to a possible AFL playing career. Picture: Yanni
RYE Beach Community Centre staff members are busy organising Carols on the Park to be held on the foreshore, 7pm, Friday 11 December. Children attending the three-yearold groups are practising their singing and looking forward to seeing Santa and the fireworks. Food, drinks, candle and novelties will be on sale from 6.30pm and Rye Lions Club members will man the barbecue. “The carols allow talented young people to perform for the community,” manager Kerryn Ladell said. “Santa will be there, and a great Christmas hamper raffle will be drawn before a wonderful fireworks display concludes the evening.” Rye Beach Community Centre has run the free community event for years. Supporters including the Mornington Peninsula Shire, Bendigo Bank and traders have donated money and goods to make this event a success. Details: call 5985 4462.

Eucalypt dieback ‘not just possums’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THREE wildlife experts have rejected a claim that ringtail possums are largely the cause of gum trees dying in Mt Eliza and Mt Martha. Ecologist Jeff Yugovic told Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group's recent annual meeting that possums were damaging and killing eucalypts, especially swamp gum and narrowleaf peppermint. He said the answer to the problem was to clear dense understorey where possums live, forcing them to the ground so they can be taken by foxes, their major remaining predator ("Fox seen as answer to possum problem", The News, 17/11/15). Six native predators that controlled ringtails in the past were now rare or extinct, he said. They were the powerful owl, grey goshawk, spot-tailed quoll, lace monitor, dingo and tiger snake. Ecologist Mal Legg, zoologist Hans Brunner, and wildlife rescuer and bushland regenerator Craig Thomson have repudiated the controversial theory, which Dr Yugovic first published in 2012. Mr Legg, who did the research for Mornington Peninsula Shire's wildlife atlas released earlier this year, said the reasons for eucalypt dieback were complex and could not be blamed on possums alone. Many trees were suffering from drought stress and had lowered immune systems. Longicorn beetle larvae were ringbarking trees. Many types of eucalypt were dying in lowland forest, grassy woodland, herb-rich woodland forest and swampy woodland. "We are seeing

massive changes to habitat because of weeds such as sweet pittosporum and monterey pine," he said. "The last thing we should be doing is helping foxes. Tasmania has many mammals not seen in Victoria because it doesn't have foxes." Mr Brunner said causes of tree dieback included root and leaf diseases, insect defoliators, bark- and wood-boring insects, salt and chloride toxicity, drought, bushfire, altered water tables, and smothering of trees by exotic ivy and other plants. But Dr Yugovic said it was easy to
distinguish possum damage from all other forms of tree decline by the state of branches on affected eucalypts. Mr Brunner said dogs, foxes and cats had decimated the native mammal population of the peninsula. "At least nine species of mammals have already become extinct on the peninsula," he said. "To give more freedom to foxes by clearing understorey will only exacerbate this tragic loss. "In my research into the diet of foxes, ringtails occurred in 11 per cent of scats while 89 per cent contained
mostly remains of endangered native mammals and birds. This surely does not justify the use of foxes for the reduction of ringtails." He said reducing understorey would "exacerbate the loss of even more native mammals, insects, birds and reptiles". Mr Thomson said he respected Dr Yugovic's "knowledge of flora but I'm really concerned by his comments on fauna as it supports a misinformed opinion in the wider community that sees wildlife as pests". "More than 30 per cent of our native
fauna is either extinct or threatened with extinction," he said. He said Dr Yugovic's claim that Mt Eliza had up to 16 ringtails a hectare, the highest known density of the marsupial in natural eucalypt vegetation in Australia, was questionable. "He is quoting a survey that counted possums on two nights over three weeks. A proper survey would take 12 months," he said. "Soon after the survey, we had a run of high temperatures that decimated the peninsula's ringtail population."
Hospitals on notice over carpark fees Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au HOSPITALS have been ordered to review car parking fees after a review found some regular patients and visitors are financially burdened with hefty costs due to repeat visits. The Labor state government promised to review hospitals’ car parking fees before last year’s state election and commissioned an independent review of carparks at Victoria’s public hospitals. The review found hospitals charge different car parking rates and only some provide discounted parking to regular
patients, visitors, carers and pensioners. In some cases discounted carpark fees were not displayed or promoted by hospitals. The government has ordered every public health service operating fee-based car parking to have a formal policy in place by February next year. Health services must also publish and publicise car parking policies and all fees, including concessions details, must be clearly displayed at carpark entrances, points of payment and signs inside hospitals. “Having to go to hospital regularly can be distressing enough, both as a patient and as a visitor, without having to worry
about how much it will cost to park the car,” Health Minister Jill Hennessy said. “We’re directing all public hospitals to do what they can to ensure Victorians can safely, conveniently – and economically – receive regular treatment or visit their loved ones in hospital.” Peninsula Health planning and infrastructure acting executive director Rick Law said Frankston Hospital already had a formal parking policy. “Patients, carers or relatives demonstrating financial hardship can access concession parking rates by speaking to a hospital social worker. Oncology patients are not charged for parking.”
Frankston Hospital carparking fees begin at $7 for one hour rising to $15 for five hours, the maximum fee for all-day parking. A weekly rate of $45 is available. The Victorian Healthcare Association welcomed the review into hospitals’ carpark fees but noted “Victoria’s public hospitals are not funded to build and run car parks”. Association CEO Tom Symondson said public hospitals take out loans from the government to build car parks but these must be repaid and hospitals have few options to raise revenue to repay the loans.
“We would welcome the government contributing to the cost of providing parking discounts as well as supporting hospitals to expand their parking services given the pressures of increasing rates of chronicity and a growing population,” he said. The VHA backed the prominent display of concession carpark rates. Hospitals must also review their carpark fees and policy every year as part of the government push to ease financial stress on regular patients and visitors. Peninsula Health said it reviews its policy each year.

Science on their minds THE state government’s bid to promote students’ interest in science brought Education Minister James Merlino to the second annual Southern Peninsula Principals’ Network 2015 Annual Science Fair. With more than 500 year 5-7 students were at the fair, being involved in science experiments, demonstrations and offering their ideas. The fair, held in the hall at the New Peninsula Church, Craigie Rd, Mt Martha, aims to support science teaching among government schools. Schools at the fair included Boneo, Balnarring, Somers, Tyabb Railway and Dromana primary schools, Dromana, Somerville and Western Port secondary colleges, Peninsula Special School and Red Hill Consolidated. Mr Merlino said the government
was encouraging “excellence in STEM – science, technology, engineering and maths – across the school system”. “The Secondary STEM Catalysts program will build on Victoria’s existing strengths and train 60 teachers across 30 schools to become experts who can inspire fellow teachers to bring STEM alive for students in years 7 and 8,” he said. “The $27 million Primary Mathematics and Science Specialists initiative will train 200 primary school teachers to work alongside other teachers in over 100 of the state’s most disadvantaged primary schools.” Mr Merlino said 10 new tech schools “will be high-tech centres of learning excellence right across Victoria”.

Muslims condemn ‘I’m safe’ messages reassure families Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, which has a mosque in Langwarrin, has condemned the Friday 13th “barbaric” terrorist attacks in Paris responsible for the deaths of 132 people. The death toll is expected to rise with 97 of 350 people wounded in the attacks classed as critical. The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the six coordinated attacks which led to France closing its borders and the declaration of three days of mourning. “We offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the innocent victims of the Paris attacks,” the national president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia, Imam Inam-ul-Haq Kausar said. “Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Australia categorically rejects extremism and terrorism in any form and anywhere in the world.” Imam Kausar said Islam taught “the sacredness and dignity of human life” and “requires us being loyal and law abiding citizen of the country of residence”. A “Conference of world religions” will be held at the Ahmadiyya association’s Baitul Salam Mosque, Leisure-
land Drive, Langwarrin on Sunday 29 November with representatives of major religions speaking on the “Role of my religion in promoting peace”. Australia’s Human Rights Commissioner Human Tim Wilson (who grew up in Mt Martha and has a holiday home on the peninsula) was caught up in the mayhem the terrorists brought to Paris. He was staying in the city for a twoday break between speaking engagements, but the break “turned into a sleepless and manic two days in a city that had shut down”. Mr Wilson was in a restaurant when texts started tumbling into his phone asking if he was all right. That was the start of a “very unnerving” time as he rushed back to his hotel which was quickly placed in lock down, with closed doors and lights out. Mr Wilson appeared live on ABC TV news. Broadcasting from a darkened room he gave viewers an on-the-spot assessment of what was going on outside his hotel and how he had received information while at the restaurant. The following morning he was again featured live from Paris, this time standing near street barriers as numbed passers-by mingled silently with heavily armed security forces. In Mt Eliza, Mr Wilson’s mother, Linda Morris (wife of Mornington MP

David Morris) found out quite early as the drama unfolded that her son was safe. “I received a text and later saw the [ABC news] webcast,” Ms Morris said. “We did worry, but found out pretty quickly what had happened and he was safe.” Mr Wilson was also active on social media, keeping his Twitter followers
up to date. On 11 November he had been in Britain speaking at Oxford University before heading to Paris for a couple of days before going on to Turkey. His message as the attacks unfolded said “Very unnerving with restaurants and bars closing on police orders”. Early the following day: “Morning in Paris. The air is rightly chilled. But warmth comes from the solidarite we all share for the Parisians in this tragedy.” And: “At a bar just near Bataclan Theatre in Paris [where 89 died] and there was silence for a spontaneous toast form everyone to the fallen … The greatest disinfectant is sunlight.” Ironically, Mr Wilson is in Europe to speak at a conference “on preserving civil liberties in an era of national security threats”. On Sunday, Lauren De Rycke, of Mornington, was breathing the fresh air and taking in the views from a mountain in Switzerland. Two days earlier she had been in Paris. Disappointed at having her phone stolen while travelling on the Metro earlier on Friday, Lauren stayed in her hotel room after deciding against going into the city centre to photograph its lights. “It was probably a blessing as she would have been all alone in the middle of Paris, not speaking any French and without a phone,” her mother Sian Taylor said on the Monday after the attacks. “Instead, she was in her hotel room, blissfully unaware of what was happening outside.” However, the news did not take long

to reach Lauren, who had spent a second day in Paris with a friend while on a bus tour that began in London and is scheduled to end in Rome. Ms Taylor said her daughter had been lucky to have seen the Eiffel Tower, Louvre and other attractions on Thursday 12 November. The bad luck had been having her phone stolen while riding on the Paris Metro and being unable to call home, or anyone else. Contact was eventually made using her friend’s phone and Facebook – a medium for which Mrs Taylor says she is grateful, never having been a big fan.
“Although she didn’t at first know what was going on that night, she later found out one of the places attacked was just 10 minutes from their hotel,” Ms Taylor said. Lauren - one year into her three-year communications and design studies at university – has already been recognised for her photography skills, winning first prize in the VCE student category at this year’s Mornington Art Show. Her work was also chosen for exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria and now hangs in the foyer of Treasury Place, Melbourne, at the request of Deputy Premier James Merlino.
A CONFERENCE of world religions will be held at the Ahmadiyya association’s Baitul Salam Mosque, Leisureland Drive, Langwarrin on Sunday 29 November. The association describes itself as a “revival movement within Islam” with its followers facing persecution from other Islamic sects. Speakers at the upcoming conference will explain the “Role of my religion in promoting peace”. They include representatives of Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Sikhism and Islam. The more than 200 guests invited to the conference include MPs, councillors, academics and religious leaders. “The conference will provide a platform for religious leaders to bring to the fore the distinctive contribution that religion can make towards world peace,” head cleric at the mosque Imam Wadood Janud said. Guest speakers are Rabbi Schneier Lange, Rabbi for ‘Jewish Care Victoria’; the Rev Philip Manktelow; Michael Wells, representative of Buddhist Council on the Victoria Police Multi-Faith Council; Pandit Abhay Anand Awasthi, executive director Hindu Foundation of Victoria and president of Hindu Council of Victoria; Amar Singh, president at Turbans 4 Australia. The public is invited to the free conference but bookings must be made by calling Rehmat Mohammad, on 0409 932 300 or Khola Usman, 0449 665 263.

This therapy is all about going fishing Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THERE’S something about fishing. Rain, hail and shine, anglers are always out there casting a line. Sheltering from the weather or running to see what’s happening when someone’s reeling in something that’s obviously bigger than the baited hook, anglers can be a social bunch. The delights of casting a line, the patience required and, yes, skill, are all the things that Glenn Couper uses to bring friendship, companionship and healing to a variety of people who often find themselves marginalised in mainstream society. A Frankston resident, Mr Couper’s fishing-based work with people with mental illness, autism and physical disabilities seems boundless. His story of helping those in need began when he suffered a work accident which left him in a wheelchair, unable to work again. On a disability pension, he would regularly go fishing and frequently attract admiring glances with his success, particularly in hooking snapper at Mornington. Gradually he became known as the go-to guy for advice on fishing. “If someone in a wheelchair could cast further than able-bodied people he must know something,” Mr Couper says. “I would see kids who had no idea [about fishing] left at the pier by their parents and show them to how to set a rig and fish.” A regular at Mornington pier, Mr
Couper’s reputation spread and he was eventually invited to do a show on Radio RPP: That’s The Thing About Fishing. From there it was not too much of a leap for him to start helping the depressed and disabled. Now out of the wheelchair but still with seven pins in his left ankle, Mr Couper heads an organisation with the same name as the radio show. “My catch slogan is ‘you can’t change the world but you can change one life at a time’. It’s all about changing lives for the better,” Mr Couper says. “We’re using fishing for therapy.” That’s The Thing About Fishing (TTTAF) has a website built with $2700 from Frankston Council, which was arranged through Cr Rebecca Spelman and Mr Couper has wasted no time in telling Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new mayor
Cr Graham Pittock that the organisation now needs a trailer for carrying fishing gear. When talking about the “comradeship and mateship” afforded by TTTAF, Mr Couper gives examples of men “locked in their houses for years with severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks” who now not only go fishing but also help others. One man now regularly cooks meals with the Salvation Army for needy families at the Pines, in Frankston North. “Being introduced to fishing gives people something to cling onto,” Mr Couper says when explaining what the arranged fishing days are all about. “We have no hidden agendas and, if they’re lucky, they can also catch a fish.” To find out more about the organisation go to thatsthethingaboutfishing.org.au or call Glenn Couper on 0457 363 701.

Rosebud Flooring Xtra are committed to servicing local people and businesses so our community prospers.
Sports day for people of all sorts THE International Day of People with a Disability will be celebrated with an all-abilities sports day in Mornington next week. It will be Mornington Peninsula Shire's inaugural "All-abilities come and try sports day" and will be held at Civic Reserve Recreation Centre off Dunns Rd. People with disabilities, their carers, families and friends are invited to attend the free event. Sports and activities will include tennis, gymnastics, soccer, netball, Australian rules football, cricket, table tennis, yoga, and Pilates. Swish, a version of table tennis for people who are blind or vision impaired, is likely to attract interest. It is played with a tennis ball-sized plastic ball containing bells. Players have to hit the ball under a net along the surface of a table tennis table and it is played at a rapid pace. Cr Antonella Celi – the council's representative on the shire all-abilities consultative committee – said one in five people in Australia have a disability, which "equates to more than 30,000 people on the peninsula living with some form of disability. If you include mental illness, the figure is even higher". She said the shire was "dedicated to promoting community awareness of disability access and equity issues. The event will celebrate people of all abilities, and offer an opportunity for people with a disability and their carers to participate in

a range of different sports and enjoy a great day out". The day is supported by the state government and would "make the most of facilities at the shire's Civic Reserve Leisure Centre and feature a range of accessible activities". Cr Celi said many organisations supported and would help run the sports day including peninsula sports clubs, Cricket Victoria, Focus, Karingal, Scope, Special Olympics Victoria, Mornington Youth Club Gymnastics, Elite Tennis Academy and Mornington Peninsula Table Tennis Association. "The theme of this year's international day is 'Inclusion matters: access and empowerment for people of all abilities'," she said. A "mini expo" will have information from disability-inclusive recreation groups. There will be a free sausage sizzle and the centre's cafeteria will sell food and drinks. The shire has hired a "Marveloo" to provide fully accessible toilet facilities with an adjustable change table and hoist. • All-abilities come and try sports day, 9.30am2pm, Wednesday 2 December, Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, 350 Dunns Rd, Mornington.

Carving out Christmas cheer By Barry Irving OVER the past 20 years, Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula have made and hand finished more than 20,000 toys for non-profit groups to help needy families all over the peninsula. Of the 80 expert woodworkers, 20 specialise in making toys. They spend each Wednesday at the shed and then many hours at home finishing off their inspired creations. The Community Bank has sponsored both the raw materials and, also, renovations at the shed, enabling the team to make more than 1200 toys this year. These will go to Good Shepherd Australia/ New Zealand, Rosebud Salvation Army Corp, Southern Peninsula Food for All and Westernport Giving Program.
The woodworkers also offer a range of skills, such as wood turning and furniture making, as well as the toy division. Programs at the shed include: Mondays – classes in wood turning and furniture making, Tuesdays – all-day woodturning, Wednesdays – all-day toy manufacture, Thursday evenings – furniture making, and Friday mornings – wood turning. New members are welcome to learn new skills in a friendly group with experienced instructors. Donations of raw materials and non-lead-based paints are welcome. Details: Secretary Greg Millar, 0410 280 695.
Groups benefit thanks to banks IN a case of the community helping itself, Rye, Dromana and Rosebud Community Bank branches have donated $259,641 to community groups on the southern peninsula this financial year. The figure was announced, Wednesday, at the Rye & District Community Financial Services annual meeting at the Tootgarook Primary School hall. And that’s a story in itself: the hall was only made possible by the financial group’s approval of a $300,000 loan to build it eight years ago. Now, it is used by the school and other groups. Those at the meeting could see first-hand the benefits to residents of community banking, as 79 groups were told they would collectively receive $166,489 to assist with events and activities. The money is included in the first round of
this year’s sponsorship and grants funding, held every six months, with the second round of applications closing in March. Ongoing funding on top of this, up to the end of October, is $92,152. Retiring chairman and director Shane McCarthy helped form a steering committee which opened the Rye Community Bank branch in 2001. Since then the group has amassed more than $550 million in “footings” (loans and deposits) and helped fund community projects of more than $5.5 million, while paying $1.5 million to shareholders. This is in line with the locally owned company’s franchise agreement with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Ltd, which ensures it pays 80 per cent of profits back to the community. Barry Irving
Medicentre’s end a sore point AN after-hours medical centre at Frankston Hospital will shut its doors for the last time later this month amid claims federal funding cuts are to blame. The Labor state government says the axing of $100,000 in annual federal funding has forced Medicentre, a privately owned after-hours general practice that bulk bills more than 10,000 consultations a year, to shut up shop. “The Medicentre’s location in Frankston Hospital allows our community to utilise a number of facilities such as radiology and pathology, which would otherwise be inaccessible after hours,” Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said. “It is a very busy, very popular option for families and also takes the strain off our Emergency Department.” Federal Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said the Medicentre board had decided to “cease trading” on 29 November. He said the board made its decision after consultation with the South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network. “It seems to be a bit of politicking from state Labor about a service they don’t put a dollar of cash into,” Mr Billson said.
“The Medicentre’s board took the decision to discontinue rather than transition to a more sustainable model.” The Mornington Peninsula & Frankston Medicentre opened in 1986 to provide general practice services to patients and ease pressure on GPs having to always be on 24/7 call. Mr Billson hoped “an alternative model” could be put in place at Frankston Hospital. He said he will speak to Peninsula Health and the South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network to see whether there is market interest in another provider stepping in to provide after-hours GP services at Frankston Hospital. He said “financial incentives” are available to any GP who also runs a day practice. Mr Billson said Medicentre had been offered interim funding “to ease the transition” but the board had decided to close the after-hours general practice with almost immediate effect. Mr Edbrooke laid the blame for Medicentre’s closure squarely at the federal government. “Taking away our communities healthcare as a result of federal government cuts is unacceptable.” Neil Walker

LETTERS Don’t blame possums Yet again we are being fed incorrect information regarding the overpopulation of ringtail possums in Mt Eliza and Mt Martha (“Fox seen as answer to possum problem”, The News 17/11/15). This article (written by a member of an interest group) is condescending to anyone with an interest in preserving of our native ringtails. It implies we must be doing so because ringtails have “cute faces and tails”. Not so, ringtails have been around for over 23 million years and play an important role in our ecosystems. There is just not enough scientific research being done to count real numbers of ringtails and the true causes of trees dying to recommend reducing numbers. To claim that Mt Eliza has the “highest known density” of ringtails in this particular habitat is misleading. Numbers are just not being counted nationwide. To deduce foxes are a “good thing” on the peninsula would require comprehensive analysis. This article says nothing about habitat loss pushing ringtails into smaller areas to find food. How about we plant more trees and save tree hollows for all the wildlife? There is no mention of domestic cats and dogs acting as “top predators”. Thousands of adult ringtails and their babies are killed every year by pet cats and dogs, in addition to foxes, and such things as cars on the road and powerline deaths. All of these factors and increased temperatures and heat waves more than compensate for the lack of native top predators. Die back (due to drought and climate change) kills trees, as do humans. The public and the council cut down more and more trees on public and private land around Mt Eliza and Mt Martha and this needs to be looked at. Demonising possums is misguided. Eve Kelly, Mt Martha
Foxes poisoned Well, I cannot believe what I have been reading (“Fox seen as answer to possum problem”, The News 17/11/15). Who is this so called ecologist Jeff Yugovic? What about the explosion in the rabbit population since Mornington Peninsula
Shire Council poisoned all the foxes in Mt Martha? All he is worried about is gum trees that are one of the worst trees ever for dropping branches and have leaves that never break down. Leave the possums alone. Peter Damyon, Mt. Martha
Human problem I find the views in the article written by Barry Morris quoting so-called ecologist, Jeff Yugovic, abhorrent (“Fox seen as answer to possum problem”, The News 17/11/15). The problem is humans, not the possums. Possums are a native to this country. The problem is that humans have demolished the habitat of not only possums, but a number of other species, including koalas. Humans have cut away much of the natural habitat that supports these creatures. Foxes were imported for the sport of killing and are an absolute menace to the native animals of this land which have been here for millions of years, such as blue tongue lizards, wrens and other low nesting birds and, recently, swans in the shallows at the Tootgarook. My opinion and that of many I have spoken to, is that Mr Yugovic’s comments are not acceptable. Have a look at what we humans have left behind from introduced species: rabbits (again on the increase), cane toads (now into Kakadu), Indian mynahs in plaque proportion, 5-6 million camels, foxes everywhere. We have repaired nothing but continue to leave a mess. This scenario is totally wrong. Charles R Lyne, Rye
Lifestyle change Brian A Mitchelson (“Nothing stays the same”, Letters 17/11/15) is to be congratulated for presenting his theories about global warming and climate change. He is entitled to his beliefs. Over millennia, the world has indeed been hotter and colder, and the sun has some influence on climate. Such sweeping statements do not stack up against the scientific evidence, particularly in the anthropogenic era we live in today. For ex-
ample, we know the sun, since the middle of the last century, is in a phase of high activity. One would expect that this would impact climate. Research has shown that while the Earth’s temperature has risen dramatically in the last 30 years, solar brightness has not increased in that time. So we cannot blame the sun. This fact then draws into question Mr Michelson’s statement that the extra carbon in the air in caused by increased heat. If the sun is not causing it, what is? Heat is caused by the combustion of a number of substances. We also know that the combustion of fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas has escalated throughout the 20th century. So this must be where that mysterious heat comes from. Perhaps the answer to Mr Mitchelson's Malthusian question about “slashing” the human population, can be provided by Paul Erlich, author of “The Population Bomb”. If he were to write his book today, he said, "I wouldn't focus on the poverty-stricken masses ... I would focus on there being too many rich people … we can't support seven billion people in the style of the wealthier Americans." Perhaps Mr Mitchelson might agree that the coming change must recognise a new set of values, those of frugality, moderation and sufficiency, and this means embracing a very different way of living, different to today’s mainstream pattern of life. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West
The science is right I read with alarm Brian Mitchelson’s soliloquy (“Nothing stays the same”, Letters 17/11/15). I say alarm because Mr Mitchelton’s assumptions carry all the hallmarks of naivety and even ignorance as he seeks to disprove the investigations of 97 per cent of the world’s climate scientists who agree that the current global warming is largely a result of human activity. Mr Mitchelson argues that our climate has fluctuated over history; but this is not disputed. The variations in solar output, earth’s axial plane and orbit, plus geothermal and organic activity have all played their parts in modifying climate conditions. It has been well documented. However, all credibility for his ideas is lost
when he offers no scientific evidence that any of these natural causes are currently responsible for the warming trends. Possibly because there is none. He dismisses the empirical evidence - from the overwhelming majority of scientists - in favour of a set of unsubstantiated personal beliefs. He then has the temerity to suggest that sceptics of his climate change beliefs are like a religion. I do not miss the irony of his contention. Such a puerile proposal is intended to belittle opponents rather than present cogent arguments against them. The extraordinary claims continue: “extra carbon in the air is caused by increased heat, not the other way round” is likewise unsubstantiated. This defies centuries of science and is yet another preposterous statement masquerading as fact. Human activity is a proven cause of climate change, not necessarily the number of humans – but the activities they undertake to increase carbon into our atmosphere. Gary Wragg, McCrae.
No tears for Skylift Amazing that the “Skylift” is annoyed over the wall refusal (“Skylift annoyed over shire’s wall refusal”, The News 10/11/15). Unfortunately Mornington Peninsula Shire has not stood its ground on too many issues surrounding what I regard as a monstrosity gone mad. So, I can only say: boo hoo. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Nuclear solution Coal provides the cheapest source for producing electricity. There is no denying that renewal energy is desirable, but wind or solar cost three to four times as much as coal for electricity production. There are also problems with the intermittency of these renewables. For example, to generate 1000 megawatts of electricity it would be necessary to install a renewable plant that was capable of generating at least 3000 megawatts to guarantee supply. Eliminating the use of coal is not going to eliminate greenhouse carbon dioxide emissions. Continued Page 16

Off the wind: Couta boat crews in breezy conditions off Sorrento.
Club earns judges’ praise SORRENTO Sailing Couta Boat Club has been named Yachting Australia’s Club of the Year. The award recognises the work of officials and staff, including commodore Andrew Plympton, general manager Phil Hall, sailing operations manager and former Olympic coach Adrian Finglas, fleet manager Adam Hawkins, sailing administrator Ben Fels, club captain Drew Marget, and new committee members Sally Law and Scott Llewellyn. “This award is to be shared by the whole place,” Mr Hall said. “It is the people at the club that deserve the recognition. “We have tackers, sail and play, coaching programs with our new pathway, and dinghy and couta boat racing.” At the 7 November opening day, yachting great John Bertrand said the club’s family orientation was “most impressive”. “The initial design brief for the new clubhouse
was simple: “[It said] kids had to feel comfortable – with sand between their toes. In other words, [it was to be] a totally user-friendly sailing club. And I think they’ve nailed it,” Bertrand said. “In addition, the club has demonstrated its capacity to host world-class regattas, such as the 29er and 49er championships in 2007 and the international Moth class world championship this year. People from around the globe are still talking about the incredible facilities, the hospitality and the sailing conditions.” At the open day, International Moth Association Victorian president Richard Jackson presented a plaque to commodore Plympton in recognition of the event – and praised the generosity of members who billeted 40 Moth international sailors during their stay. With John Curnow
Coal only produces about 40 per cent of total emissions. The rest are produced by oil, petrol, gas , wood burning and cement manufacture. Without the very heavy subsidies there would be little renewable energy being built currently. The solution to most of these problems is massive nuclear energy building. Currently there are over 450 nuclear power stations in operation and more than 50 being built. Modern nuclear power stations are extremely reliable and can provide the base load electricity that renewables cannot. There is no shortage of land In Australia for storing nuclear waste. At the moment there are over 100 nuclear waste sites within the towns and cities of Australia. I have not heard of any problems associated with these sites. In 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear bombed. Sixty years later they are thriving, with current populations suffering no ill effects from residual radiation. Nuclear energy provides a vital solution to greenhouse gas emissions and it is about time that opponents accepted this as a worthwhile solution until renewable energy is viable. B G Hunt, Mt Eliza
Abandon coal As member of a group endeavouring to seek a response from councils currently investing in fossil fuel based companies to disinvest, I am aware that we of the Mornington Peninsula, as a collective, are conservatives and thus unlikely to believe in climate change, which [Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg] Hunt has clearly confirmed by giving and open book for to a disgraced Indian miner to tear a massive hole in Queensland. In the vain hope that our shire council may be investing in fossil fuel companies and be prepared to disinvest, I submit this open letter. Ron O’Toole, Mt Eliza
Time to change Attending a screening of “This Changes Everything”, a movie about the terrible destruction of
our environment and local communities around the globe, I came away with a deep impression that the political leaders of the old parties and captains of industry are hell bent at bringing nature to its knees. Farmers are being driven off their land by mining giants who have the ear of the uncaring politicians who are supposed to work in our interest but sell out to short term profits of a few corporations and companies. Resources like oil, gas and some agricultural products are mostly sent overseas and local people are paying ever more for these commodities. I mentioned agriculture because there is a quasimining of our agricultural environment happening in many places. This is a mining of soils and water resources for crops like cotton and irrigation agriculture of unsustainable proportion in areas of Australia not suitable for such intense farming. These crops and products are shipped to low wage county’s and return as consumer goods without adding one job to our economy except a few low wage sales and administrative jobs. So it seems even our job-market is being mined by the corporations and government alike. One thing I learnt from this film is we have to fight back at a community level and support each other’s fights against the greed and uncaring attitudes of our leaders and their puppet masters. Please attend one of the community climate marches around Australia to mark the climate talks in Paris and make your voice heard. There will also be a chance to participate at Hastings foreshore (between the library and the office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt) on Sunday 29 November at 10am. Bring a beach towel so we can spell out 100%RET (renewable energy targe) now. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Damning evidence Many readers may have seen the recent ABC program on the environmental and social disaster to the communities of Zambia. The disaster was caused by a holding dam bursting in a huge copper mine which destroyed villages and poisoned the water of the Kafue and Zambia Rivers on which 40 per cent of the people of Zambia’s population relies for drinking water.

The man in charge of this copper mine for the Adani company, Jeyakamar Janakaraj, will be the manager of the proposed Adani coal mine in Queensland. The company he managed had been taken to court after similar disasters. The High Court on one occasion said the company had no regard for human, animal or plant life. One is left wondering why [Flinders MP and Environment Minister] Greg Hunt is prepared to let this man organise the largest coal mine Australia has ever seen. Despite Mr Hunt’s statement that he has made 36 strict conditions on the mine, one wonders why Jeyakamar Janakaraj would treat land in Australia any different from India or Zambia. Considering the Indian Parliament will cease importing black coal in six years, should the mine go ahead? There will be a huge push to remove coal as quickly as possible and as much as possible, undoubtedly leading to accidents, short cuts and money saving schemes. Can we trust our heritage and environment to a company which has a history of environmental disasters in India and now Zambia? I am shocked and dismayed at Mr Hunt’s seeming disregard for Australia and Queensland’s environmental future. Peter Strickland, Balnarring
Blurred lines I have just received the latest propaganda newsletter from the MP Flinders, Greg Hunt. Why does he keep blurring between state and federal issues, the latest being policing matters in Somerville? The Mornington Peninsula has only Liberal members of parliament. Are they not doing their job properly? He is protesting the new police station at Somerville is not open to the public, but it is an operational centre only. Mr Hunt should know that Victoria Police gets a certain budget to run the organisation. The Chief Commissioner with his team decides where the funds will spent on their priority list with no interference from the state government. Why does Mr Hunt think he needs to be involved? Is it because the incumbent for Hastings is not doing his job? If the state government did get involved with operational matters surely he would scream political interference. If there is a need for more police presence in Somerville then perhaps the state MP for Hastings should be making representation to the state Minister for Police and Corrections to be dealt with through the proper process as the Chief Commissioner decides where the budget is spent. Mr Hunt’s fundraising for Autism is to be commended, but his government has cut much funding in the budget for single and low income families struggling with children with disabilities. Denise Hassett, Mt. Martha
Australia leads the way I am delighted to respond to recent letters about climate change (“Coal is costly”, “Alternatives’ turn”, “Change is coming”, The News 10/11/15). The most recent Emissions Reduction Fund auction is a second stunning success – adding a further 45.5 million tonnes of emissions reduction to the 47 million tonnes achieved in the first auction. In particular, indigenous groups will play a major part in delivering these reductions. There is no doubt that Australia will meet and beat its 2020 target. Our 2030 target is the equal highest per capita of any G20 country. At a global level, Australia recently led efforts under the Montreal Protocol, which could save approximately 90 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions to 2050. We have also been elected co-chair of the International Green Climate Fund and were one of two countries singled out for applause for our climate change reduction efforts at the recent pre-Paris Global Climate Conference. In relation to the 20 million trees program, communities have been snapping up the opportunity to participate – more than nine million trees have been committed to being planted already, including one million trees in west Melbourne. I must admit to being slightly surprised that someone would oppose the re-greening of our cities but, fortunately, numerous citizens around Australia are proudly re-greening their local area. Greg Hunt, Flinders MP
Facts being ignored I got a bit of a caning (sorry) by a couple of climate deniers in the 17 November Letters columns of this newspaper. Obviously there is still a little bit of sand in their eyes. These gentleman both ignored all the facts that I had presented. They are real, gentlemen, not my beliefs. Such events as the large deadly storms, the ice caps melting and the warming of the waters near the Great Barrier Reef are not figments of my imagination. Brian A Mitchelson (“Nothing stays the same”) invoked the sun. We know that extra carbon in the air is caused by increased heat and this is caused by the big polluters of this planet, not the sun. The sun is being blocked out by the smog caused by polluters,just look at china. I am glad I do not share his beliefs because I suspect the sun god Ra would be in there somewhere. Why would I waste my time writing to Greg Hunt as he claims? I see Mr Hunt as the Claytons minister for climate change who is in a government that extols the virtues of coal and pays millions of dollars to the major polluters in Australia. At least the carbon tax was penalising them. All the items Mr Mitchelson mentions are state issues and nothing to do with climate change. They are are nothing more than red herrings. May I suggest both you and Michael G Free (“Protest dismissed”) read the newspapers and not listen to sceptics that have a vested interest in coal. I care for this planet of ours and, hopefully, someday, both of you will too. If I do write to Greg Hunt, it will be about the reintroduction of funding for Penbus. John Cain, McCrae

Food for All I am writing to thank everyone in our community who participated in the 2015 Food for All winter appeal. This year we received 281 blankets and knitted rugs. The number of blankets and rugs was less than usual because we did ask for an emphasis this winter on jumpers for children’s beanies, scarves and gloves. The lady knitters on the southern peninsula did us proud and we were able to provide warm clothing of excellent quality to a large number of children in our community. A special thanks to Fran Henke in Hastings for again coordinating the delivery of the knitted goods and to the Bendigo Bank in Dromana for acting as a drop off point for the finished articles. I would also like to wich the compliments of the season to all those in our community who have supported Food for All this year. Ken Northwood, chairman Southern Peninsula Food for All
Council responsible In relation to the slippage of the cliff above the path restricting walkers [near Kalimna Drive and leading to Mills Beach, Mornington], Mornington Peninsula Shire must bear the main responsibility (“Shortfall in cliff path repair money”, The News 10/11/15). The path, which lies below extensive new housing along Kalimna Drive, has been damaged by the overflow of storm water from these properties. However, this damage is fairly recent and has been exacerbated by excessive subdivision and over development of housing on the cliff face, which has been permitted by the council. While Mornington MP David Morris may bemoan the fact that the state Labor government is only contributing one quarter of the necessary amount to reinstate the path, the responsibility for the damage ultimately lies with the council with its inadequate planning policies.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Horse and jinker ‘joy ride’ is costly Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE Frankston and Hastings Council will hold its monthly meeting at Somerville on Thursday next. *** DRIVER A. G. Young returned from the front by the hospital ship which arrived in the Bay on Monday last. He has been in the front since the landing, and owing to an attack of enteric fever was invalided home. His friends were very pleased to meet him and to see him looking so well after all he has gone through. *** THE residents of Frankston will be provided with a pleasent evening’s amusement on Wednesday next, when the Empire Photo Play Co will open in the Mechanics’ Hall with an up-to-date show of moving pictures of a high order. We understand the company intends giving these shows every Wednesday night, the programme for the first entertainment is advertised in another column, and on each evening there will be an entire change of programme. *** THE pleasures arising from a “joy ride” may sometimes prove more costly than the thing is worth. This was the experience of two young men on Monday morning, when they had to face a bench of justices, at the Frankston Court, on a charge of unlawfully using a horse and jinker, which they found tied up in the yard of one of the hotels, and which, in the exuberance of their
spirits, they untied, and drove away. It was not long before the owner missed his property, and the help of the law was invoked, with the result that they were quickly traced and the missing property recovered. When brought to task they both pleaded guilty, and were fined £2, with £1 6s costs each, the fines to be remitted on their entering into bonds of £10 each, to be of good behaviour for six months. *** AT the monthly meeting held on November 22nd, the principal business consisted of Messrs Geo. Griffeth and Chas. Grant’s report on the question of shipping space and time of shipping. They felt that there was a danger of the Victorian fruit being scattered over too much time, and a resolution to that effect was moved, “That the Minister be approached and asked to use his powers to see that Victorian fruit was shipped during the earlier months of the export season.” Mr Griffeth gave a report of executive meeting, dealing with export space. He stated that space was to be divided as follows :—Tasmania 1,250,000 cases; Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia 300,000 each, which he did not think fair. Mr Keast moved that Mr Jensen be written to, and asked if he thought there was a combine to secure a monoply of space for Tasmania, and to try to secure space for Victoria, on earlier boats, and let Tasmania have the later ones. Seconded by Mr Coop.
Carried. The question of the annual show was mooted, and it was decided on the motion of Mr Griffeth to interview the Ladies’ Red Cross Society with a view to the show being held as usual, the whole of the profits to be devoted to Red Cross and Patriotic purposes. A working bee was arranged for Friday afternoon, to clean up the show ground, etc. Mr Coop offered to purchase the old ticket box for 8s 6d,—Accepted. A committee was appointed to draw up a scheme for cool stores at Somerville and report at next meeting. Mr Griffeth moved that should any further disturbances with soldiers occur, the Defence Department be asked to receive a deputation to consist of Messrs Coop, Keast and Griffeth. Mr T. M. Burke then delivered an address on “Co-operation.” This was very much appreciated by the members present. Owing to the hour being somewhat late when Mr Burke commenced to speak, he had to curtail his address, but enough was heard to set members thinking. Mr Burke promised to come down at some future time to explain further the principles of co-operation. *** THE wedding of Mr Michael Conroy, third son of the late Mr and Mrs Conroy of Ballarat and Cranbourne and Miss Ruby Elizabeth Thornell second daughter of Mr and Mrs Mark
Thornell of “Frampton” Somerville was quietly celebrated at St George’s Roman Catholic Church, Carlton on Nov 11th. The Rev Father O’Hagan of Mornington was the officiating clergy man. The bride was given away by her father. She was gowned in ivory duchesse satin court train with true lovers’ knots of ninon, bodice swathed with shadow lace, ninon and pearl trimming, bridal veil and coronet of orange blossom. She carried a shower bouquet of white carnations, roses and watsonias. The only jewellery worn was a diamond brooch, the gift of the bride’s late brother James, also New Zealand greenstone necklet, the gift of her late brother Willie. The bride was attended by her eldest sister, Miss Mary Thornell who wore heliotrope taffeta silk relieved with cream, and small cream tulle hat. She carried a shower bouquet of shaded heliotrope flowers. Both bouquets were made by the bride’s aunt, Mrs Alfred Thornell. The bridegroom was attended by his brother Mr Steve Conroy. After the ceremony the bridal party and their immediate relatives motored to Rubira’s Cafe, where a sumptuous wedding breakfast was partaken of. The Rev Father O’Hagen proposed the toast of the bride and bridegroom. The bridegroom responded in a glowing speech. The couple motored to Geelong to spend the honeymoon. The bride travelled in mole corduroy velvet dress and black crepe
dechene hat relieved with white. Many handsome presents were received from old friends and relatives. Mr and Mrs Canroy will reside at their home ”Corofin” Cardinia. *** THE present war is costing a thousand million pounds a year. These figures are very easy to say; they are equally difficult to grasp. But not too difficult. Assuming that the instant he was born a baby started counting. Every minute he counts sixty numbers. He counts every moment of his time, twenty-four hours a day, with not an instant’s pause for sleep or food. By the time he had counted one thousand million he would be nearly 31¾ years of age. A thousand million pnunds mean nearly all the gold coin in the world. It means fourteen shillings for every human being on earth, It means enough gold, if beaten out, to cover 1560 square miles. Just fancy an army of a thousand million soldiers marching past your house. Marching in single file day and night, weekday and Sunday, without ceasing, they would take thirty eight and a half years to pass. When a soldier is on active service his full day’s rations weigh, in round figures, four pounds. The cost is 1s 3d, including every thing. One day’s supply of food for one thousand million men would cost £62,500,000. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 November, 1915

Farmer Dave at the Pet Expo By Melissa Walsh MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s Peninsula Pet Expo will be held Sunday November 29 at the Village Green, Rosebud. With something for everyone, and their pets, Peninsula Pet Expo is free to attend. This year the pet expo is delighted to welcome expo ambassador Dave Graham, also known as Farmer Dave, who brings a wealth of knowledge and sense of fun to the event. Farmer Dave is a respected Australian dog trainer, expert and qualified behaviourist, who will use his skills to engage, educate and entertain at the Pet Expo on all things dog related. Dave Graham first came to Aus-
tralia’s attention as a competitor on Big Brother and he has since used his high profile to open the Farmer Dave Dog Centre, a purpose-built dog training and sports Centre in Western Sydney for dogs and their owners to enjoy their full potential. “This is our first year attending the Mornington Peninsula Pet Expo, and I am thoroughly excited to be part of such a great event as ambassador,” said Dave. “The Farmer Dave Dog Centre is a leader in positive reinforcement techniques used in dog training, and we have ability to bring our amazing product to the expo to share with the wide community of dog lovers and pet lovers on the Mornington
Peninsula.” Farmer Dave will be demonstrating scent sport activities which highlight the fundamentals of scent detection and nose work. “We will also be providing a series of presentations on dogs and humans, our 15,000 year journey together, and, Clicker training. The Farmer Dave Dog Centre is also working closely with Sue Caldwell and the team from Melbourne Freestyle,” said Dave. Farmer Dave says they have already been receiving calls of excitement and eagerness from locals looking forward to the event and their involvement. “People really want the best for their dogs, and want to experience
as much as they can with them,” he said. “Everything about animals is important. Dogs are man’s best friend and have been for some time and for good reason. Dogs have always been a part of my life – even as a little kid on my family’s property in Queensland. It is the bond between man and dog that I love and the ability for the dog to constantly please and do as it is asked. I love dogs; I train dogs at the Farmer Dave Dog Centre, and would do anything for dogs.” Farmer Dave will be joined by his rescued super troupe of wonder dogs, Muttley Crew. Once left at animal shelters by owners who couldn’t cope with their bad behaviour, Farmer Dave
has transformed these dogs and expo crowds can expect to be entertained by their amazing agility and skills and educated about animal behaviour and breeds. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Peninsula Pet Expo will also feature cow milking, horse grooming and patting farm animals, sheep herding and shearing, horsemanship demonstrations, miniature pony show, bird and reptile exhibitions, free face painting and roving performers including Shaun the Sheep and Mr Peabody & Sherman.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Living life extra, extra, extra large By Stuart McCullough THE results, to date, have been decidedly mixed. Like many people, I have finally succumbed to the charms of internet shopping, although the outcomes are somewhat unpredictable. Frankly, the entire exercise is a black hole; one in which time loses its meaning. Where the quest to manage your virtual shopping basket becomes something of a holy quest before the connection times out or the site crashes. Serves me right for using a homemade modem I put together with an empty tissue box, three bits of string and a nine-volt battery. Normally, I resist change. That’s why I still ride a horse to work and don’t own anything with Velcro, preferring the old-fashioned reliability that only a button can bring. But no one can deny the future. It comes whether we’re ready for it or not. Being part of the virtual shopping world means that a whole bunch of people refer to me as a Very Important Person. I try my best not to let this go to my head, but it’s not easy. It’s the kind of honour that only the internet can bestow. I am mindful that if I were to march into their physical stores expecting the staff to bow and curtsy and generally fall over themselves with the excitement that comes with being in my presence, I would be in for something of a shock. No amount of proclaiming, ‘don’t you know who I am?’ would help. But online, these same retailers treat me like the most special person on earth. You kind of get used to it. The email appeared in my inbox
without fanfare, wishing me a happy birthday. More than that, because of my VIP status, they offered me discounted online shopping. I was beside myself with excitement. This, however, meant there were two of me instead of the customary one which resulted in all kinds of awkwardness. But after the initial explosion of excitement, I managed to pull myself together (meaning there was just one of me, once more) and log in for the online shopping experience of a lifetime. When you go into a store, a shirt is just a shirt. But when you shop using the internet, you realize that everything has a ridiculous name. The red shirt with the polka dots is, in fact, ‘the Donovan’, doubtless named after Jason Donovan or perhaps Mr. Mellow
Yellow himself. On this particular site, the shirts were named after all kinds of people. There was the ‘Jeremy’, the ‘Luiz’, the tapered fit ‘Mateus’ and, my personal favourite, ‘the Darren’. (Fair or otherwise, it feels as though ‘the Darren’ ought to have pockets for the TV remote and a built-in stubby holder). There was even a shirt named ‘the Stuart’. How could I possibly resist? This was no longer a matter of a shirt. This was destiny. That a clothing company should go out of its way to create an item of apparel in my honour is the kind of recognition that, previously, only a knighthood could bestow. It’s not quite as good as getting your own ice cream like Jimmy Barnes or Dame Edna Everage but it’s
close. Granted, the garment was designed without any consultation with me whatsoever (perhaps they wanted to surprise me. I am, after all, a Very Important Person) but it seemed churlish to complain. It was something I did in the heat of the moment. I selected ‘the Stuart’, the regular fit ‘Wayne’ and a longsleeved ‘Ulysses’. I clicked and typed and moved from screen to screen as though competing in some kind of internet shopping time trial. My virtual shopping basket navigated its way surely and steadily towards the end until, finally, a confirmation appeared and I was told that a receipt was heading my way. There was nothing left to do now but wait. A week later it magically arrived.
But the postman didn’t seem particularly fussed that I was a VERY IMPORTANT PERSON, despite my explanation. Rather, he slung the package in my direction without any fanfare, despite my request that he present each item as if it were an award. I carefully opened the parcel, taking great care not to damage the contents. As the shirts were revealed, something did not seem quite right. Laying them out on the bed, the problem became obvious. The ‘Wayne’ was a medium, as was the long sleeved ‘Ulysses’. The ‘Stuart’ however, had arrived as an extra, extra, extra large. Until that moment, I had no idea that ‘extra, extra, extra large’ even existed. Now, here it was, right in front of me. I am loath to complain. Despite my status as a ‘medium’, I wondered whether I could make do with an extra, extra, extra large shirt. Maybe wear it under a jumper. But it was no use. I’d end up looking like David Byrne in Stop Making Sense or one of those Subway guys after they’ve eaten sandwiches. I had no choice but to return the shirt that had been created in my honour. With mixed emotions, I wrapped it up and headed for the post office. After lavishing me with praise and naming a shirt after me, they didn’t really know me at all. That they should think that I’m the size of a family sedan means they haven’t been paying attention. That’s the internet for you: it’s a place where you can be someone’s best friend and a complete stranger all at once. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Music Arts Food ANDY PHILLIPS GOES GLOBAL By Terri Lee Fatouros
What a fantastic turn out recently when Andy Phillips of Cadillac Walk fame and his partner and manager Heidi LaFaerie hosted their VIP merchandise launch party at the Double G Saloon in Mornington recently. Fans of the Cadillac Walk can now buy T-shirts with the bands new insignia printed on it, get mugs, stubby holders and a host of other cool stuff that acts as a constant reminder of their fav band.
vocals who’d earlier entertained with a couple of tunes plus a host of other regular friends and fans of The Cadillac Walk. The party was a fabulous success and Double G Saloon supplied finger food and alcohol could be purchased from the bar. Phillips continues to pull in big crowds and although his touring schedule is extensive both in Australia and overseas, his humble demeanour remains the same. His distinctive style has a chilled ‘feel good’ vibe yet still gets the beat pulsating in your veins. You can’t tire of Phillips superb guitar mastery; in fact on a few occasions in the past when he has morphed into ‘The Zone’ the bloody thing actually sings on its own! Apparently the sign of a true master, unnerving to say the least but awesome when it does and wicked for those fortunate enough to hear and witness it.
“The new logo design by international artist for Harley Davidson, was commissioned with a view that we wanted a cool design for our merchandise that people would want to buy and wear,” LaFaerie said. Double G was packed to capacity with much drinking and eating going down when support musicians, Didi Reyes, Glen Sharpe and Jordie Fitzgerald kicked the party off. By the time Andy Phillips and The Cadillac Walk took to the stage with Scotty WeirSmith on percussion and Brendan Burking on bass, there was considerably more dancing and much more drinking to be seen. During their set the gorgeous Nicole Nehemia, vocals and husband Jason Nehill, bassist from Safari Motel fame joined in and belted out a couple of songs. There were so many familiar faces partying;
To show your support for Andy Phillips and the Cadillac Walk, jump on board and visit their website and get yourself some ‘cool stuff’. Oh, and thanks for my T-Shirt lovelies, I look forward to wearing it. Maria Cassar of Blue Muse, Jim Love from Backyard Brew, Jaci Denman, Greg Fisher who writes Blues Illustrated for Mint Mag
and hosts his blues radio show on Southern FM, Louise Castle, Callum Lausberg, guitarist from Lionhouse and Jade Lindsay,
Andy Phillips and The Cadillac Walk perform regularly around Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.

BELINDA ROGERS , ‘THE MOOD OF SUMMER’ Manyung Gallery Sorrento The life of an artist is one of quiet solitude with a lot of time for reflection and often too much emotional energy consumed on introspection. It is fair to say that artists at peace with themselves usually translate this serenity to their creations with never an angry brushstroke evident! Conversely , an artist frustrated with ‘creative block ‘, or too many external influences negatively impacting on her or his peace of mind ,may , if they can indeed create anything at this stage , reflect their ‘issues’ with a dark or gloomy choice of colours
and subject matter. Artist and published poet , Belinda Rogers , while contemplative in nature , finds herself at peace when she returns to her studio at Montsalvat and the positive vibes and stimuli she receives there. Her new series of paintings reflecting The Mood of Summer are on exhibition at Manyung Gallery Sorrento for three weeks from 28th November to 19th December. Manyung Gallery Sorrento is located at 113 Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento. www.manyunggallery.com.au
JAMES REYNE ALL THE HITS LIVE “Everybody said, ‘What’s that sound?’” For more than three decades, James Reyne’s songs have been the sound of the Australian summer. His unforgettable hits conjure images of sun, surf, sand and sex. And James has now delivered the album that will be the soundtrack to this summer: All The Hits - Live. For James Reyne fans, this is the ultimate gig. His entire career is encapsulated in two discs, from Australian Crawl’s debut single, “Beautiful People”, to his first solo single, “Fall of Rome”, and songs that are part of our culture, such as “The Boys Light Up”, “Reckless”, “Downhearted”, “Errol” and “Hammerhead”. After Australian Crawl called it quits in the mid-’80s, James rarely played many Crawl songs live, preferring to focus on his solo material. Fun fact: Just one Australian Crawl single reached the Top 10 (1983’s chart-topping “Reckless” from the Semantics EP), whereas this album features five Top 10 solo hits: “Fall of Rome”, “Hammerhead”, “Motor’s Too Fast”, “Slave” and James’s cover of The Dingoes’ “Way Out West” (which he originally did as a duet with James Blundell in 1992). Thirty years after Aussie Crawl announced their split, James has embraced his old band’s remarkable catalogue. Every Crawl album is represented here, with songs from The Boys Light Up, Sirocco, Sons of Beaches and Between A Rock And A Hard Place. And there’s even a nod to the band’s much-loved first live album, 1983’s Phalanx, with a new version of live favourite “La Califusa”.
James also revisits “Sweet Love” – a forgotten gem from Company of Strangers’ self-titled set, a Top 10 album in 1992 – and dusts off long-time fan favourite “Hoochie Gucci Fiorucci Mama”. Fittingly, All The Hits - Live was recorded in Perth, where Australian Crawl said farewell to the world in February 1986. This album was recorded at Perth’s Astor Theatre on Saturday, September 5, 2015. “Such a time was had by all, we figured we’d be foolish not to commit it to tape,” James says. “So herewith the results, recorded one hot September night way out west.” This is James Reyne playing the songs the way he always wanted to play them, backed by a killer band: Brett Kingman and Phil Ceberano on guitar, Andy McIvor on bass, and former Aussie Crawl member John Watson on drums. James says the tour not only invoked “great memories but also the spirit of dear Brad [Robinson, who died in 1996] and Guy [McDonough, who died in 1984], and the rest of Crawl, of course, as we revisited some of their fabulous and, dare I say it, timeless tunes”. As James remarks when introducing “Indisposed”, “If you want to sing along or join in, feel free.” Of course, you’ll know the words. These are songs that provide the soundtrack to the endless Australian summer. James Reyne – A Day In The Sun National Tour with Moving Pictures will be hitting Chelsea Heights Hotel on 4 December.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.
Ducs cause major upset PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MOOROODUC caused the upset of the of the season so far when it knocked over Peninsula Old Boys, in dramatic circumstances, by nine runs on Saturday. Resuming at 1/17 and chasing 171 for victory, Peninsula Old Boys just never got going and were bowled out with more than 20 overs left in the match. Leigh Lambert was sensational for the Ducs with 5/40 from 21.1 overs, while Sushant Gupta was equally as impressive with 5/36 from 16 overs. The Old Boys looked home at 5/155, just 17 runs from victory with five wickets in hand. However, visitors lost 5/7, eventually bowled out for 162.
Wade Pelzer, who picked up 3/17 with the ball, made 54 while Brandon Lawler hit 31 for POB. Will Crowder and Glenn Prendergast scored 13 and 15 before becoming Gupta victims. Peninsula Old Boys remain in third place on the ladder, eight points behind Somerville and Crib Point. Somerville knocked the highlyfancied Sorrento out of the top four with a crushing win. The writing was on the wall last week when Somerville made 197 and then had Sorrento 6/46 at stumps. The Sorras tail did offer some resistance with CJ King making 24, Mark Dunball 16 and Jayden Morgan 34, however, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent a loss, the Sorras bowled out for just 124. Matty Roach had 5/18 overnight
and finished with 5/40 while Jack Kennedy chimed in with 2/53 from 23 overs. The Eagles are now on top of the ladder. Right with the Eagles on top of the ladder is Crib Point who had a solid victory against Mt Eliza. The Mounties are now in genuine strife with just one win and languishing just above bottom placed Rye on the ladder. After bowling Mt Eliza out for just 90 on the first day, Crib Point resumed having already won the game on 4/98. The Pies piled on another 60 runs with Matt Blake top scoring with 60 before being bowled out for 159. Mt Eliza batted the final 51 overs of the day, finishing at 5/137. Justin Grant was unbeaten on 58.
A sensational knock of 93 from Harley Peace-Sterling and 65 from Harley Parker saw Pines beat Mornington by more than 100 runs. Chasing 136 for victory, Pines were in some early trouble resuming at 4/28. However, Rhys Chalkley added 27 before Peace-Sterling and Parker put on 119. Michael Heib and Matt Foon snared two wickets each for the Dogs, who now sit in ninth position on the ladder. Long Island moved into the top four with an outright win against Rye. It was Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third outright loss in the opening four games. Long Island belted 6/240 on the opening day of the match before rolling Rye for 49. On day two, Rye resumed at 1/7.
While they offered some more resistance in the second innings, they still failed to make Long Island bat again. Jason Wylie top scored for the Demons in the second innings with 60. Greg Lamb snared 5/33 from 10 overs while Scott Phillips picked up 2/38 for the Islanders to give him 8/65 for the match. A locomotive by the name of Dale Irving went crashing through Langwarrin on Saturday, ensuring Baxter remain in touch with the top bracket. Defending 155, Baxter had Langwarrin up against the ropes when play resumed at 4/49. Irving had figures of 3/10 at the start of the day. By 2pm, Irving had 7/29 and helped to roll the Kangas for 73.
Panthers lose the unlosable DISTRICT By IT Gully PEARCEDALE has dropped a place on the MPCA District ladder but still remains entrenched in the top four after going down to Red Hill in a nail biter on Saturday. The Hillmen have now placed a 12 point buffer between themselves and the Panthers while Baden Powell holds top spot after its fourth straight victory. The Panthers went close to picking up the win against the Hillmen but fell 10 runs short. Chasing a modest 140 for victory, Pearcedale resumed at 5/86 with Chris Dew (33) and Kaine Smith (13) at the crease. Dew (57) and Smith (22) were cruising and had the home side purring along at 5/125, just 14 runs from a draw and 16 runs from victory with five wickets in hand. However, Red Hill paceman Luke Toy entered the fray and turned the match on its head. Toy, together with Brent Martin, took the next five wickets for five runs and rolled Pearcedale for 130. Toy finished with 5/41 from 16 overs. Baden Powell remains the dominant side in the competition, rolling Seaford with ease. Chasing 152 for victory, Baden Powell resumed at 1/89 with Nathan Cassano unbeaten on 51 and Rhys Elmi on 25. While Elmi added just four runs, Cassano finished with 93. The Braves ended the day 7/233. Seaford used 10 bowlers, Aaron Peebles being the best of them with 2/46. Carrum successfully defended its 139 against Main Ridge. Resuming on 3/16, the Ridge was bowled out for just 98. Jeremy Graves, who had two wickets overnight, finished with 4/25, while Liam Dobson snared 3/23. James Abbott top scored for the Ridge with 47. Heatherhill posted an outstanding victory against Seaford Tigers. The Hills resumed at 1/11, chasing the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 177 and needed a good start to the day to lay a solid foundation. That good start came in the form of Kristian Miller (66) and Christian Heath (44), who put on 115. Jake Theobald then contributed 32 to help the side get to 7/187 with plenty of overs left in the match. David James was the pick of the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 3/34. Boneo was never a chance of beating Mt Martha, who posted 310 last week. Jake Smart and Kyle Bendle took 2/16 and 2/24 respectively to help roll the Pandas for 156. Delacombe Park fell 19 runs short of victory against Flinders. Jon Guthrie made 50 and Craig Blight 46 for the Parkers to help the home side to 211, chasing 230. Losing 4/32 in the middle order cost the Parkers the game. Matt Burns was the pick of the bowlers for the Sharks with 3/39 from 22 overs, while Max Royal claimed 2/42 from 20 overs.

By IT Gully DROMANA sits alone at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after smashing Rosebud by more than 100 runs on Saturday. The Hoppers have been the whipping boys of the competition for the past decade, however, with Darren Kerr at the helm, along with Andrew West, they have been able to turn the fortunes of the club around. Kerr was sensational yet again on Saturday, scoring 103 after resuming the day on 24. West took his overnight score from 42 to 56 to help set up the win. Dromana finished the day on 239, a commanding 112 run victory. Brian Doughty was the pick of the Rosebud bowlers with 4/43. Hastings is in second place on the table after easily accounting for Tootgarook. The Frogs started the second day in some real trouble at 4/27 after Tim Birch snared 2/0 and Mitch Floyd 2/17 at the end of the first day. While Birch and Floyd failed to take any more wickets, Luke Hewitt popped up and snared 4/48. Travis French top scored for the Tooters with 50, while Jason Lane wound back the clock, finishing with 34.

Brad Watson scored 59 and Chris Murphy 40 for the Saints, however, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to get the job done. Ryan Lynch, who opened the batting on day one, bowled 16 overs on day two and took 3/52. Chris Moloney was the best of the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/35. Ballam Park picked up the 12 points against Skye. Skye was bowled out for 114 on the opening day of the match but had the Knights in real strife at 7/96. David Roach and Zac Clements guided the Knights to victory with 12 and 10 runs respectively to take the score to 129. In the second innings Rob Gruar added 119 to his 78 in the first innings for Skye. He has 334 runs for the season. Frankston YCW remains in equal fourth place on the table after beating Tyabb.

FERNWOOD Fitness Mornington is proud to be part of a national Fernwood fundraising drive to raise $100,000 for Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) this November Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Australia. One in eight Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer before they turn 85, with more than 15,000 women expected to be diagnosed this year alone. Funds raised through the campaign will go directly to BCNA to help ensure women diagnosed with breast cancer receive the very best support, information and care appropriate to their individual needs. Local Fernwood Manager Keirsten Wallace says the staff and members are proud to be helping support a cause that affects so many. “Breast cancer is close to many of our staff and members’ hearts and we’re so pleased to be able to do our bit to support those affected.” “We’re excited to pink up the gym and raise funds to help reach our national 100k target!” Keirsten added. To help BCNA provide support for those diagnosed with breast cancer, Fernwood Fitness, Australia’s largest full-service women’s-only gym, is offering 14-day passes for $20, with 100 per cent of the money going directly to BCNA. Fernwood will also be donating 100 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of its 28 Day Breakthru online program to BCNA and encouraging members to get involved to make additional donations at local Fernwood clubs. The partnership between BCNA and Fernwood was established after research showed exercising regularly, during and beyond breast cancer treatment can help improve emotional
wellbeing, reduce side effects of cancer and its treatment, and reduce the risk of breast cancer recurring. Fernwood Founder Diana Williams said she couldn’t be more pleased to be behind the cause. “BCNA is an exceptional organisation to partner with.
