When giants roamed the peninsula SORRENTO resident David Thomas, left, is being hailed by scientists for finding the fossilised remains of a gigantic wombat-like creature buried in the sandstone cliff of a back beach at Sorrento. The diprotodon marsupial is the size of a rhinoceros, or small car, and walked the earth about 40,000 years ago. Mr Thomas and Parks Victoria ranger Kris Rowe inspected the site last week.

Rubbish tip plan dead By Mike Hast THE controversial Dromana quarry tip plan is dead. Quarry owners R E Ross Trust will officially announce on Tuesday it will not appeal the Environment Protection Authority’s refusal to grant a permit, which was handed down last month. The decision brings to an end one of the most controversial and hated pro-
posals on the southern peninsula for many years. A government source told The News that Ross Trust chairman Ian Vaughan would announce the decision on Tuesday night at a meeting of Peninsula Waste Management’s community reference group. Ross Trust owns PWM as well as Hillview Quarries in Dromana.

The decision will be greeted with acclaim by more than 22,000 people who have signed petitions as well as main objector group Peninsula Preservation Group, formed specifically to oppose the tip earlier this year. The decision is a blow to Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group, of which Mornington Peninsula Shire is the sole member, as

Volunteers ready for fox hunt TOOTGAROOK resident David Stanton is volunteering to get rid of foxes on the foreshore. Mornington Peninsula Shire has rejected his offer because it does not believe “old cunning foxes” would fall for his trap. Undeterred, Mr Stanton has now asked the state government to buy three large cages “and loan them to me for use in the Tootgarook area”. He said the shire said it would have trouble disposing of trapped foxes. “The situation at this stage is that it’s too hard and so nothing can be done to remove the foxes, other than private individuals engaging contractors to eradicate the foxes at their own expense,” Mr Stanton told Nepean MP Martin Dixon. “Failure of the shire or other authority to agree to this ‘too hard to do’ task can be easily solved by dismissing all who can’t do the job (money saved immediately) and to provide me with the cages I require, to do the best we can under the circumstances, as it’s becoming a bit boring having to put up with people who hinder any attempts that are suggested. “My neighbours and I are prepared to offer our labour free of charge and that the cost of the cages and bait used is a small cost under the circumstances. “The shire staff need to be reminded that the shire is not an extension of the social welfare department and that employment means the employed bringing about a result, not an excuse.” A shire officer provided Mr Stanton with a list of commercial feral animal controllers and told him it was “the
responsibility of the landowner to control feral animals”. “The land that you say they are breeding on is managed by the Capel Sound Committee of Management and I am unaware of any trapping they are doing except for the work that we assist them with on Chinamans Creek,” the council officer stated in an email. “Quite often in these holiday areas foxes are utilising houses that are unoccupied ... and it is a very difficult issue to point the finger at anyone. “As discussed on the phone, the shire undertakes feral animal control on a recurrent basis in areas of high biodiversity values in an effort to protect native fauna species. “A good example of this in your township is the works that are under-
taken on Chinamans Creek, the current [Rye] tip site and other shire land surrounding the Tootgarook Swamp. “Across the last year our feral animal controller has trapped over 50 foxes in the area, which includes six that were captured along Chinamans Creek earlier this month [September] to protect the endangered swamp skink. “The shire does not have fox cages to lend out to the public. “Cages are not effective with trapping foxes as they are very clever and it takes a skilled operator to be able to set a soft jawed trap to catch a fox. Baiting is not permitted in urban and peri-urban areas and this approach is not undertaken by the shire due to the high risk of off target damage.” Keith Platt

Beachwalk reveals car-sized ‘wombat’ By Mike Hast SORRENTO resident David Thomas and his mum went for a walk along the ocean coast of the peninsula last year. It was low tide and the pair was able to walk around a rocky headland not readily accessible to walkers. They came across a section of a sandstone cliff that had collapsed, not unusual on this part of the rugged coast of Mornington Peninsula National Park, which faces Bass Strait’s relentless ocean swell. Sticking out of the rock about three metres above the water was what looked like a human shoulder bone. Mr Thomas called police, who said it was unlikely to be a human bone and directed him to Parks Victoria. He took Parks ranger Bruce McFayden to the site and it was decided to call in the experts About two weeks later, scientists from Melbourne Museum arrived. It was soon obvious to them that Mr Thomas had discovered a creature not seen for about 40,000 years – a marsupial from the diprotodon family; a huge wombat-like creature the size of a rhinoceros, or a VW Beetle, and the largest marsupial that ever lived in Australia. The archaeologists retrieved what turned out to be a hip bone as well as other smaller bones and took them to Melbourne for analysis. Planning for a “dig” started. Two weeks later, another cliff collapse revealed more of the creature – part of a jawbone, teeth and a section of leg bone about half a metre long. The discovery has electrified the palaeontology community as it is the most complete and best-preserved fossil of its kind found in Victoria. A near-complete skeleton was found on a remote cattle station near Burketown, Queensland, in 2011. These and other finds, including in Tasmania and King Island in Bass Strait, confirm the creature roamed far and wide in Australia. University of Tasmania zoology professor Chris Johnson told Radio Port Phillip’s Environment Show last Thursday the diprotodon roamed the planet for about 2.5 million years before it became extinct in Australia between 40,000 and 50,000 years ago. Professor Johnson, one of Australia’s foremost experts on mammals both extinct and living, said the reason for the demise of the diprotodont and other megafauna was a hot topic. The two best theories were that humans had killed megafauna for food or they had disappeared due to climate change or a combination of both.
A lot of megafauna had already been lost before indigenous people arrived in Australia. Megafauna from Australia’s Pleistocene era once roamed widely across the continent including the Mornington Peninsula, which would have been joined to Tasmania. The diprotodon “wombat”, or zygomaturus, would have been seen on the plains of the southern peninsula, as would giant kangaroos, a goanna bigger than the living Komodo dragon, and a giant goose twice the size of an emu. The Sorrento discovery was revealed on a Melbourne radio station early last week. Palaeontologists had hoped to recover all of the diprotodon skeleton before it became public knowledge. One thing working in their favour is
the site is hard to access. Sections of the coastline are fenced to keep people away from crumbling cliff edges. David Thomas grew up on the back beaches of the peninsula from the age of 10. “We’d spend hours playing on the beach and running around the sand dunes,” he said. Mr Thomas, 44, who manages Sorrento Golf Club’s pro shop, was pleased to be invited to Melbourne Museum recently to see the conservation work that had been carried out on the bones. Mr Thomas’s daughter has dubbed his find the Thomasaurus and it has inspired him to look for more fossils. He walked his friend’s dog at Mt Martha this week. “I can’t walk along a beach now without looking at the cliffs,” he said.

Dromana rubbish tip plan is dead Continued from Page 1 Last month the EPA said the proposal did not comply with “threshold issues around groundwater, construction design and management”. The proposal generated massive opposition on the peninsula and the formation of high-powered lobby group PPG whose members included successful business people, lawyers, scientists, doctors and teachers. PPG members had been working behind the scenes since February including lobbying state government ministers. One of the more obvious signs of opposition was the large number of placards placed on fences and nature strips of private properties in Dromana, Red Hill and Arthurs Seat as well as further afield. Opposition to the tip gathered momentum in June when more than 500 people packed Dromana Hall for the first public meeting of PPG. Many had heard little detail of the plan and were appalled. More than 1000 protesters formed a human sign reading “No tip” at a Dromana reserve near the quarry in August. That same month more than 450 objectors signed up to attend an EPA conference to hear PPG members grill PWM, its consultants and members of the Ross Trust. EPA boss John Merritt said it was the biggest conference the agency had run. The EPA was aware of the “community angst” and had received 900 submissions, most against the tip, he said. Any likelihood of the tip going ahead faded late last month when the state government released two draft plans for waste recovery that move away from landfills and toward building waste recovery and sorting hubs. The government in August said it would reduce the state’s waste management groups from 12 to six, and force Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group to join the Metropolitan Waste Management Group, which has no plans to open more tips.
No access to asset values By Keith Platt MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has more than $2 billion worth of assets, but the value of individual blocks of land and buildings is being kept hidden from ratepayers. Councillors seem unclear about the situation, although they have access to the value of individual properties managed by the shire. Melbourne City Council last month published a list of its most valuable assets, but the shire has no plans to do the same. Just one of the shire’s 11 councillors favours providing individual values of council-owned properties to the public. “Speaking for myself and not for council, I think it [releasing property valuations] an excellent idea,” Cr Hugh Fraser has told The News. “Given the extent and nature of council assets and the need to keep commercial information confidential, I doubt that a greater degree of detail could be achieved than recently achieved by the Melbourne City Council, which listed its most valuable property holdings. “Even that degree of detail would enable a better appreciation and evaluation by councillors and the community as to whether council resources are being, and will continue to be, efficiently used for the benefit of the Mornington Peninsula community.” Cr Fraser said legislative requirements governed the sale of council-owned properties, including public notices. His colleagues were less forthcoming when emailed questions on Sunday 22 September about publicly listing the values of council assets. Two out of the 10 councillors – David Gibb and Frank Martin – replied almost instantly, with an automatically sent “out of office” reply as both were on leave. Cr Anne Shaw responded 10 days later, say-
ing the “protocol for response to emails addressed to all councillors is that one response comes via the mayor”. No response had been received from the mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, by deadline on Friday, although The News had also left two messages on her phone. When contacted by phone, Cr Bev Colomb said council officers had told her that the register of council-owned properties was very large, but was available for viewing by the public. She had also been told that “things were more complex down here [than in the City of Melbourne]”. Cr David Garnock said he had referred the questions about releasing the value of councilowned properties to council officers “for guidance”. He wanted to find out what ramifications could result from releasing such information to the public. The officers told him that as the same questions had been put to other councillors they would “put together a response”. “I can’t see what the issue would be, other than people looking [at the valuations] and making their own assertions about whether something is too high or too low,” Cr Garnock said. “I don’t know if it’s a good idea or not. There’s been no chance for us to discuss this in council.” Cr Garnock said council may have to sell property if it decided to go ahead with the $30 million plus SPA (Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre) project in Rosebud. The amount of money needing to be raised would depend on government grants and the shire’s level of debt. “There could be sensitivity about that and we wouldn’t want to give the game away as to
what we might want to sell off,” he said. Cr Garnock said he would discuss the disclosure of council-owned property values with his colleagues. “I can easily put it on the agenda.” Cr Tim Rodgers last Wednesday offered to “have a think about it and get back to you real soon”. Cr Graham Pittock said councillors had been told that a register of council properties and their values was available to the public. “If they give two days’ notice they can get the entire list of council-owned properties,” he said. After a series of emails, the shire eventually said the public could access a register of council properties but not their individual values. Sustainable organisation director Marilyn Kearney said the total value of property and other assets were “disclosed” in the shire’s annual report. “Publication of any details in future annual reports beyond that already provided would require determination by the council,” Ms Kearney said. “However, details of council-owned property, including valuations, are available to councillors at any time upon request.” Ms Kearney later said the asset register “is available for inspection showing each property’s title details and the valuation of all properties in total”. Property and valuations manager Yasmin Woods said: “Information relating to councilowned properties is provided, as prescribed in Part 5 of the Local Government (General) Regulations 2004. This information includes only those details regarding property, finance and operating leases for land, buildings, plant, computer equipment or vehicles.” Requests to inspect the assets register can be made by calling 5950 1160.

Southern Peninsula News 8 October 2013
Stairway opens up bayside views A PATH once again links Point Nepean Rd and The Eyrie at McCrae. Wooden steps and a concrete path lead up the steep cliff alongside a rock-filled gully. Closed because of severe erosion in the deepening gully, the path has been reopened without fanfare or ceremony by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Plagued by delays caused by weather and then the demolition and replacement of a nearby house, the $950,000 drainage stabilisation and path construction project, according to the shire’s sign, was first declared completed in August 2010. The shire later removed the sign and amended the projected completion date to September or October 2012. Meanwhile, rocks destined for the gully works were stored free of charge in the disused quarry on the Esplanade at Mt Martha. The shire was investigating a gate, bridge and garden on council-owned land at the top of the gully near The Eyrie. “The shire is currently investigating the circumstances and what approvals/consents are required from council if it is deemed appropriate to stay in its current location,” sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said in 2012. The shire now says no action has been taken to reclaim the public land on which the garden has been grown. Strategic planning manager Angela Hughes said: “Council is aware of the footbridge and garden that has been constructed on council land at the rear of a property in The Eyrie. The structure does not prevent public access to the area, nor does it provide any hazard or barrier to pedestrians. No action has been taken.” The shire’s sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said the cost of the project was originally estimated at $1.6 million. “This included the cost of design, project planning, supervision, civil construction and landscaping. Expenditure on this project is currently at $1 million with an estimated additional $50,000 required to complete the remaining landscaping and the overall project,” Mr Atkins said. “The major component of the cost for this project relates to the civil works component that was contracted to be $823,000 with the remainder of the cost to date being spread over the other components of the project.” Keith Platt

Shire’s ‘sustainable’ $11b economy lion to six million by the early 2030s, the shire’s challenge is to continue to be ‘near to but not part of Melbourne and its accelerating growth’.” While the shire was in a comfortable financial position – “sustainable” and delivering “responsive services” and “taking every opportunity to be innovative” – the CEO cautioned that the report’s financial statements were “not easy for non-accountants to understand, and may lead readers to overestimate our overall financial position”. “The audited year end result in the financial statements shows a net surplus on ordinary operations of $16.141 million, compared to last year which was a surplus of $4.107 million. These are not our ‘profits or losses’ for the year, in the usual meaning those terms. “This year’s surplus includes

“lower as a percentage of the shire budget than they were 10 years ago” and “in terms of 2012-13’s operating performance, we achieved an underlying surplus of 3.12 per cent”. “Despite these challenges and after allowing sufficient cash to complete capital works carried forward from the previous year, and receipt of government grants for 2013-14 but paid to council in 2012-13, we achieved a surplus result compared to budget of $2.425 million. “The most important message to take from the accounts, which after allowing for the variations described above, achieved by our continued improvement in organisational efficiency and productivity, is that we made budget.” The annual report is on the shire’s website at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

$10.369 million of contributed assets, which is effectively a transfer of assets to the shire. They are in fact infrastructure assets that (now and into the future) will require us to expend funds to maintain them.” The CEO said there had been “unders and overs” in different parts of the shire organisation, “which were the result of our responding to particular demands and circumstances as the need arose; ‘Funds available’ (being the surplus on recurring operations) was [an] unfavourable $4.357 million”. However, savings had been made through the shire’s new maintenance contract, keeping close to budget on more than 250 capital projects “with no project failures or significant cost overruns”. He said management costs were

The CEO said the shire “is not and does not want to be a growth municipality”. “The shire is working with the state government in planning a future that preserves our highly valued green wedge and our local towns and villages, providing the amenity our residents love...” He said council had adopted the interim Green Wedge Management Plan in September 2012 “which will be reviewed in the coming 12 months in the context of new planning zones and changes to state level strategy during this period”. “As plans are developed to guide metropolitan Melbourne’s growth from its current population of four mil-

By Keith Platt TOURISM is the peninsula’s biggest money spinner, says Mornington Peninsula Shire chief executive Michael Kennedy. In a foreword to the shire’s 2012-13 annual report, Dr Kennedy said the municipality had a $11 billion economy, which included tourism ($1 billion a year); manufacturing ($800 million); agriculture ($600 million); the “marine sector” ($200 million); and the equine industry ($150 million). The report valued the shire’s total assets at $2 billion with liabilities of $81.2 million, a net increase in the past year of $57.1 million. There is no breakdown of the value of individual properties. Most of the increase was due to the “capitalisation of land and building as-

Anglers’ licence to spend By Chris Brennan THE state government is cashed up and ready to splash out to help improve angling opportunities for recreational fishers. Mornington Peninsula anglers are being asked to submit ideas on how to best spend revenue generated by the sale of recreational fishing licences, with grants of up to $100,000 available for projects that will improve fishing opportunities. Minister for Agriculture and Food Security Peter Walsh said the government wanted to help angling groups and local government agencies provide better fishing opportunities through the 2013-14 Recreational Fishing Grants Program. “Recreational fishing is extremely popular and contributes significantly to the economic development of regional Victoria,” Mr Walsh said. “Fishing is also a great way to spend time with family and friends in the great outdoors and helps people to stay active and connected to their communities.” Applications for grants can be lodged from this months under the categories of fisheries sustainability and habitat improvement; fishing access and facilities; fisheries-related education, information and training; and recreational fisheries research. Grants are open to fishing clubs, com-

munity groups, incorporated bodies, registered companies and government and statutory bodies. Smaller grants of up to $5000 are available all year. Recreational Fishing Grants working group member Matthew Harrington, a former president of Southern Peninsula Angling Club, said past projects included improved access, fishing platforms, family fishing days and the installation of artificial reefs in Port Phillip. “There are many possibilities and we want recreational fishermen to bring those idea to the table,” he said. “The revenue comes from our fishing licences so it’s important that the grants go back to benefit the recreational anglers who have paid for the
licences. In the past there has been a lot of research grants, a lot of fishing platforms, and cleaning tables, but all recreational fishers would like better access, from the freshwater at Devilbend Reserve to the saltwater of Port Phillip and the surf beaches. “Better access comes in many forms; it could be a walking path, a car park, an extra lane on a boat ramp. “Fishers might want fishing tables, or cleaning tables; they may want a platform, stairs or overhead protection such as a gazebo.” Large grant submissions must be received by 28 February 2014.

By Chris Brennan THREE men have been convicted and fined for taking double the bag limit of abalone, concealing part of their catch and providing false information to fisheries officers following an extensive surveillance operation on the Mornington Peninsula. The men, from Melbourne’s outer southeast, were fined a total of $8000 after pleading guilty in Frankston Magistrates’ Court late last month. The court was told the men were detected by fisheries officers taking double their legal entitlement of abalone at Rye and Sorrento in March. Fisheries officers taking part in Operation Molten observed the trio taking a quantity of abalone from waters off Rye, which they placed in a bag and later concealed in bushland at Boneo. The same men, who were travelling in two cars, were then seen taking more abalone at Sorrento. After leaving Sorrento, they returned to Boneo and retrieved the hidden bag. They were then intercepted by fisheries officers, who found 30 abalone in the two cars, double the legal limit of five abalone a person per day. After being arrested and taken to Springvale police station, the men gave false and misleading information while being interviewed, the court was told. One man was fined $2000, had his vehicle and all other equipment seized and was banned from fishing for abalone for 10 years.
The other two men were fined $3000 each and prohibited from fishing for abalone for 12 months, as well as forfeiting their equipment. Fisheries officer Rod Barber said daily catch limits were in place to protect abalone stocks and ignoring limits threatened the sustainability of the fishery, worth about $70 million a year. He said fishers who ignored the limits and provided false information to fisheries officers could expect significant penalties in the form of large fines, the forfeiture of vehicles and equipment, and lengthy fishing bans. The state government last month introduced tough measures to fight abalone poaching, including jail terms of up to 10 years and a 24-hour hotline for members of the public to report illegal activities. An additional 28 fisheries officers were also put on late last year, boosting their number by 50 per cent to 85. Victoria is known as the abalone capital of the world, with about 80 per cent of the global catch going through Melbourne facilities. Abalone is about $50 a kilogram and is estimated about a third of the catch is through illegal means. The industry is tightly regulated in Victoria, with just 71 people holding licences, which allow them to harvest about 20 tonnes of abalone each a year. There is a permanent ban on taking abalone from Port Phillip except for 60 nominated open days of the year when strict bag limits apply.

Festival week not fun for all By Keith Platt WHILE thousands of older people are out enjoying themselves at this week’s Victorian Seniors Festival, many others are sitting at home depressed. “Up to 30 per cent of people over 65 who are frail and require significant support to continue living in their homes are depressed,” beyondblue CEO Kate Carnell said. “This is double the prevalence rate of depression for people over 65 who live in the community without help.” Mornington Peninsula Shire has more than 42,000 aged over 60, the second highest of any Victorian municipality. CEO Michael Kennedy, in the shire’s latest annual report, says “supporting our elders in

being active, connected and independent is a high priority, with excellent results in three quality audits during the year confirming what we and our elders knew – we are delivering best practice in service delivery, with ongoing feedback being the basis for what we do and how we do it”. To help seniors at home, beyondblue is holding training courses for aged care staff “to understand depression and anxiety in older people, and ensure their clients get support”. Ms Carnell said case managers and community care staff who visit older people in their homes can have a big impact on the mental health of those for whom they care. “For a lot of people who don’t live with their family, this may be the most significant social relationship they have,” she said.

“Becoming increasingly depressed or anxious doesn’t have to go hand-in-hand with ageing. “There are effective treatments available for depression and anxiety, regardless of a person’s age. Someone just has to be on the ball enough to pick up on the signs to get older people the help they need.” Ms Carnell said mental health problems could be accompanied by such physical symptoms as headaches and muscle pains, feeling sick, rundown or tired all the time, churning gut, sleep problems, loss or change of appetite, and weight loss or gain. The beyondblue training, Understanding Depression and Anxiety in Older People in the Community, is provided in a three-hour workshop. For details call beyondblue on 9810 6100.

More help at hand for special needs children By Chris Brennan TWO Mornington Peninsula early childhood intervention providers will be able to offer more families placements after winning additional funding from the state government last week. Biala Peninsula and Noah’s Ark were among 20 service providers across the state to be allocated a share of 500 additional Early Childhood Intervention Services places to assist children with a disability or developmental delay. The additional places take to 1150 the total number of funded ECIS allocations now available under a $34 million state government commitment that was outlined in the 2013-14 state budget. Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell said the additional places, each worth $7533, would give hundreds more children the best chance to become engaged and active participants in school, community and family life. She said organisations such as Biala Peninsula, which is based in Mornington, and Noah’s Ark, which has centres across Melbourne’s south including Frankston and the peninsula, were providing an invaluable service in supporting some of the most vulnerable members of the community. “This is fantastic news for hundreds of young children who need extra support to reach their potential in the years before school,” Ms Lovell said. “Through activities such as home visits, ECIS

places also build the capacity of parents and family members to respond to their child’s needs.” The specialised services provided through ECIS programs are tailored to the individual learning and development needs of each child and delivered in a way to supports the specific circumstances of each child’s family. Biala Peninsula CEO Marlene Fox welcomed news of the additional ECIS funding and said the families of children with a disability or developmental delay currently faced long waits to access the program. “We’re really pleased to be able to offer additional families placements with us – we would have liked more and certainly could have provided more, but at least there’ll be eight families who’ll be off the waiting list and their children placed with us,” Ms Fox said. She said there were currently more than 400 families on waiting lists to access ECIS services in the southern metropolitan region. “We currently have 117 funded places and we have 117 children in those placements at all times but we wish we could provide more. I’m continually getting phone calls from families wanting to access our programs and there’s a long wait. “We’ll be offering these new placements first thing Monday morning and we’ll have families in the program within a fortnight; that’s our commitment. We’re determined that families don’t have to wait any longer than they have to.” Mornington MP David Morris also welcomed news of the additonal places. He said the Mornington Peninsula-Frankston region had received an additional 34 places in total. “It’s wonderful to see such a range of services in our region receiving funding after being assessed on best practice.”
Fire at historic cottage A GROUP of visitors escaped uninjured from a fire in an historic cottage at the Cape Schanck lighthouse during last week’s wild wind storms. CFA crews from Rye, Rosebud and Boneo were called to the “Head keeper’s White Cottage” next to the lighthouse last Monday after being alerted to the fire about 8.50pm. The cottage was being rented at the time by a group of four people who were alerted to the blaze by a smoke alarm. The fire was confined to the roof space, where it caused significant damage. Internal parts of the building sustained smoke and water damage. Firefighters said the blaze appeared to have been caused by a crack in the chimney, which allowed heat to go into the roof space.

French sounds at Sorrento THE sounds of France filled the Sorrento Masonic Centre on Sunday last week as Zoe Knighton and Amir Farid, above, played their latest collaboration, “A little French cello”. The program “explored French miniatures” for cello and piano by Debussy, Faure and Hure.

Chilled to the core in winter? Scorched like an almond in summer? Is the cost of maintaining your home climate going through the windows? Heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer can become a thing of the past. Don’t let the cost of living rise from poor window ventilation - get with the trend and install thermal-lined drapes, blinds and pelmets now! The cost of window coverings is directly related to the heating and cooling of your home. Investing in curtains, blinds, and pelmets is proven to reduce peak loading of heating and cooling at the height of each season. Heat created by direct sunlight is significantly reduced when window coverings are installed to trap a stagnant layer of air, and prevent ventilation openings from allowing moderated air to escape. According to the Australian Guide to Environmentally Sustainable Homes manuscript, thermal-lined drapes with pelmets reduce heat loss and gain by as much as 53% versus uncovered windows.
Knighton (cello) and Farid (piano) have been playing together since 2009 and have released four CDs. Rhys Watson bought a painting by John Bredl in a charity auction organised by the Sorrento lodge. Pictures: Marg Harrison

New waterways strategy unveiled By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has welcomed the launch of Victoria’s new Waterway Management Strategy, which sets out an eight-year plan to improve the environmental management of waterways and encourages a partnership approach between government and communities. Water Minister Peter Walsh said the implementation of the strategy followed “extensive stakeholder input during the development process” and gave communities the opportunity to have their say about the future management of waterways and “help set the priorities that guide government investment”. “The Victorian Waterways Management Strategy aims to improve the health of our waterways so they can continue to provide the environmental, social, cultural and economic values that are important to everyone,” he said. “Keeping our waterways healthy is a shared responsibility. “This new strategy encourages a partnership approach between government and communities.” The shire’s renewable resources manager, Sophia Schyschow, said the strategy aligned with the Mornington Peninsula’s Smart Water Plan, which was currently on exhibition. “The shire looks forward to continuing to work with the state government to achieve the strategic priorities in both plans and maximise the opportunities it presents to further enhance the
quality of waterways and bays across the peninsula,” she said. “The shire’s draft Smart Water Plan is on public exhibition for a further three weeks and reflects a ‘whole of water cycle’ approach to sustainable water management across the peninsula. “Mornington Peninsula residents are encouraged to contribute to both documents and the shire looks forward to continuing to work with the community in protecting and enhancing our precious water resources.” The strategy follows release of the third Index of Stream Condition report, which assessed the health of 29,000 kilometres of rivers across Victoria using state-of-the art remote sensing technology. To coincide with the strategy’s release, Mr Walsh launched the Love Our Waterways Instagram campaign, which encourages people to get involved in caring for waterways. “The Love Our Waterways campaign will highlight how Victorians connect with waterways and it will promote participation in groups like Waterwatch and EstuaryWatch,” Mr Walsh said. Victorians can submit pictures of themselves enjoying waterways via Instagram for a chance to win a $1000 houseboat trip on the Murray River.

Lucky escape as van tumbles A MALE driver was lucky to escape serious injury after his van veered out of control, hit a concrete light pole and rolled several times before landing on the wrong side of the Nepean Hwy at Mornington during peak hour traffic last Wednesday afternoon. The crash occurred about 5.30pm near the corner of Green Island Ave when the driver, aged in his 30s, lost control of the Mitsubishi light commercial work van he was driving south along the highway. The man walked away from the crash with only minor scratches and bruising. He was treated at the crash site by ambulance paramedics but did not require further attention. He was later questioned by police and may be charged with careless driving and other undisclosed driving offences. Picture: Yanni
October our deadliest month By Chris Brennan PENINSULA police have vowed to come down hard on speeding drivers over the next four weeks after revealing October was the deadliest month on Victoria’s roads. Police and highway patrol units will be out in force on peninsula roads during the month to conduct a number of operations targeting road trauma, speed, impaired driving and hoon behaviour. Last year, 34 people were killed on the state’s roads in October, double the monthly average of 17. Over the past three years, an average of 30 people have died on Victorian roads during
October. In total, 205 people died on Victoria’s roads during 2012, while a similar number is expected this year, with 176 fatalities recorded so far. Senior Seargent Karen Nyholm of Hastings police said evidence showed speeding was the single greatest cause of collisions and road trauma on Victoria roads and that for every 5km/h over the limit a vehicle is driven in a 60 km/h zone, the chance of collision doubles. “On average, we suffer nearly 100 deaths and more than 1700 serious injuries per year directly attributable to speed,” Senior Seargent Nyholm said. She said drivers needed to be aware of variable weather conditions, par-
ticularly rain and high winds, and adjust their driving habits accordingly. “Many factors need to be considered on top of the signed speed limits,” she said. “The wild weather we have been experiencing adds an additional risk factor to motorists. Roads with water coverage and debris from trees require drivers to take added care.” With school returning this week after the spring holiday break “parents need to adjust their leaving times to get to school safely – not in a mad dash. Drivers should continually assess conditions and slow their speed as the risks increase.”

More storms lash region By Mike Hast STATE Emergency Service volunteers on the Mornington Peninsula are catching up on sleep after four wild and woolly weather days last week. Greater Melbourne including the peninsula was again battered by strong winds with some locations recording the strongest blow since 1985. The strongest wind gust of 143km/h was recorded at Fawkner Beacon, a weather station in Port Phillip west of Sandringham, the third strongest on record. The most ferocious wind swept through Melbourne in 1985, reaching speeds of 154km/h at Laverton. The second-strongest reached 147km/h at Essendon in 1948. Metropolitan Melbourne experienced four severe wind warnings in 10 days including last Tuesday and Wednesday. Peninsula SES crews worked four long days and nights to remove trees that had blocked major and minor roads as well as driveways. Damaged homes were protected with tarpaulins. Danielle de Natris of Hastings SES, one of three units in the region with Sorrento and Frankston, said volunteers were called to more than 60 jobs in Somerville, Hastings, Mornington and Mt Martha. She said many homes in Mornington and Somerville had been damaged by trees and branches. “Somerville was worst hit,” she said. “About two-thirds of calls were about trees that had been blown down, with the remainder reporting damage to buildings.” She said much of the damage was minor – “tin roofs lifting in the wind, fences blowing down and the like”. Volunteers had rushed from job to job to clear fallen trees on main roads such as Moorooduc

Highway and Jones Rd as well as help Bittern residents whose properties had been flooded. Ms de Natris said Hastings SES wanted to thank other emergency services that had assisted the unit, including other SES units as well as CFA and MFB crews. Controller Paul O’Donoghue said keeping lives and property safe was the service’s main concern. “It’s important to stay informed about your local situation and not depend on others to keep you aware,” he said. “If you require assistance, give us a call. If you know your neighbours are vulnerable, check on them if it’s safe to do so.” The peninsula escaped massive power blackouts, unlike parts of Melbourne where more than 90,000 homes lost supply at the peak of Tuesday’s storm, which had winds as powerful as a category one cyclone. The peninsula’s two SES units and the Frankston unit are always seeking volunteers. One resident who watched volunteers working on Wednesday night said the SES did a magnificent job. “They are our local heroes,” he said. “If anybody wants to dress in orange, go out in bad weather at all times day or night, and get paid absolutely nothing, this is the place for them.” For information and warnings, visit ses.vic. gov.au/warnings, twitter.com/vicseswarnings or Facebook.com/vicses or call the SES information line on 1300 842 737.

Water safety for surfer girls CHAMPION international surfer Bec Woods is coming to Western Port to teach safety to surfing girls. Woods will be at Point Leo and Phillip Island as part of the Play it Safe by the Water Surfing for Girls program. “It uses positive female role models and professional surfing coaches to pass on skills and knowledge to the next generation of female surfers,� Life Saving Victoria’s education services manager Kate Simpson said. “The program is a fun learning environment for new young surfers and a great way to educate participants on lifesaving techniques and key water safety messages. “While they develop their surfing skills, they are also taught how to identify potential dangers in the surf as well as skills to aid in a rescue.� The program has been running for 14 years and this will be the ninth year Woods has been involved. “It is great to give women exposure to the ocean and surfing in a safe environment and introduce them to something that has shaped my life from a young age,� Woods said. Also on the safety tour again will be stars of the film First Love, Jess Laing and India Payne, of Phillip Island. Everyone who takes part in the program will receive a showbag. The safety lessons will be at Point Leo on Thursday 28 November and Phillip Island on Friday 29 November. Details: www.surfingvic.com or call 5261 2907.
Career options online A ONLINE tool linking Mornington Peninsula and Frankston students with a disability to work, further education and training opportunities after school has been launched by the state government. The Transitioning a Student with a Disability resource helps teachers, aides, parents and carers navigate the options available to students with additional needs. The online resource provides links to services, resources and networks in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula regions. The resource was developed by the Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network and partner agencies, and draws on the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s Career Curriculum Framework.

Snakeheads can kill says wildlife man By Mike Hast SNAKES again left winter hibernation earlier than usual this spring due to warmer than usual weather. The same thing happened last year when warm conditions came early. The appearance of snakes has prompted a warning from wildlife catchers for people not to kill snakes, which is illegal and could attract a fine of up to $6100. Peninsula licensed wildlife controller Barry Goldsmith said he was concerned about people killing snakes on their properties and exposing themselves to potential injury or death. Mr Goldsmith was called to a property last week but a resident had already killed the snake. “Snakes are protected by law and are a vital link in our environment,� he said. He said it was cruel and dangerous to behead a snake. “When a snake is beheaded, the head will stay aware, thinking, seeing and smelling for 10 minutes or more. “The body will writhe with nerves but the head could be watching you and is still dangerous. “Because it is terrified after watching its own body get chopped up, it will try to bite the hand that goes to pick it up. “Last year, a man in Queensland cut the head off a brown snake and when he went to pick it up, it bit him on the wrist. He dropped it and the snake bit him again on the ankle. He later died.� Mr Goldsmith said lots of people put themselves in danger from the snake, and the law, when they attempt to kill a snake.
“A bloke in NSW hit a snake with a shovel and it took off through the fence and there was a child in a sandpit on the other side. The toddler was bitten and only just survived.� Mr Goldsmith said a snake was at its most dangerous when in pain or afraid for its life. Most snakes on the peninsula are copperheads and tiger snakes. “There are healthy populations of tigers snakes in Frankston, Mt Martha, Dromana, McCrae, Rosebud, Sorrento and Portsea,� he said. “In Hastings, Somerville and Balnarring, we often get called out to catch copperheads. “Toward Dandenong and beyond there is a good chance of encountering a red-bellied black snake.� He said tiger snakes and copperheads are often mistaken for black or brown snakes. Snakes were generally released within five kilometres of the capture site “unless the snake is an obvious escapee pet or hitchhiker�. “People need to be aware snakes are moving around looking for food and water; if you see a snake in your garden, leave it alone and you won’t have a problem,� Mr Goldsmith said. Mr Goldsmith said many snakes had been displaced during the building of Peninsula Link freeway between Carrum Downs and Mt Martha. He also warned about pets and snakes. “Snakes don’t attack dogs; dogs attack snakes,� he said. Veterinarians say dogs should be kept on a leash in dunes, long grass, bushland, and beside creeks.
Child sex charges THE isolation of French Island and membership of a Bible group are likely to be scrutinised as a result of child sex charges being laid against a resident of the island. The 56-year-old man is a follower of the Two by Twos, or Friends and Workers Group, whose members hold prayer meetings in each other’s houses, including at Crib Point, Pearcedale and Langwarrin as well as in halls in Somerville, Tyabb, Cranbourne and Dingley. Most of the charges against the man relate to when he was aged 14 to 18 and before he joined the religious organisation although one relates to an offence alleged to have been committed when he was 20. It is understood the charges were based on a statement the man made to police in 2011.

Snake bites are difficult to detect on dogs and cats. The most immediate reactions to a bite are trembling, rapid breathing, vomiting, defecation and collapse. After some of these signs, eye pupils may dilate (get bigger) and the animal’s gait will become clumsy as the legs become progressively weaker. If the dose of venom is large enough, complete paralysis will occur, fol-
lowed by death if untreated with antivenom. If treated immediately, pets have a good chance of survival and recovery. The best course of action is to keep your pet as calm and still as possible and get them to a vet. ď Ž Anyone who sees a snake can call DEPI on 136 186 or a licensed snake handler found on the website www. snakecatchers.com

POLICE are targeting drivers who ignore roadwork zone speed restrictions in a crackdown dubbed Operation Nickel. Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said there was a tendency for some motorists to ignore posted speed limits when travelling through restricted roadwork zones. He said the operation aimed to make sure people employed to work in roadside construction zones had a safe place to work. “People working in these zones have been identified as some of our most vulnerable road users and Victoria Police is committed to ensuring their safety,� Mr Hill said. “If you speed through these zones, it is highly likely you will be detected and fined.�

Foreshore camp for lycra crew By Mike Hast THE population of Hastings will soar later this month when more than 5000 people arrive for the second annual Ride to Conquer Cancer in aid of Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. The foreshore will resemble a gigantic camping ground when an expected 1600 bicycle riders plus cancer survivors, supporters, donors and sponsors stay overnight on Saturday 26 October. Cyclists will ride from Melbourne to Hastings via Somerville and Tyabb on the Saturday and return to the city on Sunday via Mt Martha, Mornington, Mt Eliza and Frankston a distance of about 200 kilometres. Last year’s inaugural ride to Healesville and return raised more than $6.2 million, the largest single fundraising event in Australia. Western Port Chamber of Commerce has started a campaign encouraging traders to stay open on Saturday afternoon and Sunday to serve the arrivals. Chamber president Lisa Dixon said it would be
a great opportunity for “Hastings to put on show”. “Winning the event is a big coup for our town,” she said. The chamber is hoping traders will put together special deals to encourage visitors to spend in the town. A colouring competition for children will be run by traders with first prize of a bicycle donated by Kmart Hastings. The chamber is running buses on the Saturday to Western Port Oberon Association’s Victorian Maritime Centre in Crib Point for tours of the centre and viewing of HMAS Otama, the submarine moored off the Crib Point jetty. Other events and activities are being organised. Money raised will support cancer research at Peter MacCallum including research into melanoma. A Peter Mac spokesman said one in two Australian men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Cancer kills more than 43,000 people in Australia each year with 115,000 new cases diagnosed.
Proudly inclusive
“Australia has the highest rate of melanoma in the world, and we’re working hard to find better and more targeted treatments for the disease,” the spokesman said. “Our team of researchers and clinicians were the only group outside of north America to initially test a new, highly selective drug called PLX4032, developed to target and destroy a gene mutation responsible for more than half of all known melanoma cases. “This therapy is now available for patients throughout the world. Vital funds raised by the ride will support the platform technologies our researchers rely on to continue their critical work in cancer discovery.” For information and to register, go to www.conquercancer.org.au or call 1300 00 RIDE (7433). To book for the maritime centre tour, call Western Port Visitor Centre on 5979 7029. The tour costs $5. The Western Port area will be busy on the last weekend of October with HMAS Cerberus holding its annual open day on Sunday 27 October.

ISSUES faced by the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) community is the focus of Peninsula Proud 2013, a free community event to be held by Peninsula Health on Saturday 19 October at Safety Beach Sailing Club. Former Victorian Health Services commissioner Beth Wilson will use hypothetical scenarios to explore real life issues with a panel of six people of all ages who have dealt with diverse GLBTIQ-related issues. Audience members will be able to take part in the discussion, ask questions, and share their experiences. Family and friends are welcome. Information will be available from GLBTIQrelated services for health, wellbeing, youth and family, bisexual and transgender issues, gamblers, legal assistance, and people with disabilities. Musicians from Headspace Frankston’s Peninsula Pride Queer Straight Alliance will entertain. “The first Peninsula Proud event last year was such a success that it is now a fixture in Peninsula Health’s community calendar,” GLBTIQ community advisory group chair Bronwyn Lawman said. “This year’s new approach will enable everyone to join in the discussion on how we can all work together to break down barriers, improve inclusion, and build pride.” Peninsula Proud is organised by Peninsula Health’s GLBTIQ community advisory group, which works with health care professionals to provide health care for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer people. Peninsula Proud is financed by Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils and managed by Peninsula Health.

Emerging treatment for severe emphysema EMPHYSEMA is a chronic lung disease that causes shortness of breath and is often classified as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In people with emphysema, the lung tissue involved with the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) is impaired or destroyed. This may result in a reduction of lung elasticity and gas trapping in the affected sections of the lung. This trapped air can cause the lung to enlarge (hyper-inflate) and take up more space in the chest leading to poor breathing mechanics, less functional lung volume and shortness of breath. Typically, various approaches to treatment include various bronchodilating and/or steroid medications, pulmonary rehabilitation and oxygen therapy. Endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment is an
emerging technique that works to reduce the damaged/hyper-inflated section of the lung by collapsing the affected area via placement of a one-way valve in the lung segment. Reducing the damaged section of the lung can provide more space within the chest for the healthier sections of the lung to inflate and take part in gas exchange. EBV treatment is a minimallyinvasive procedure referred to as endoscopic lung volume reduction. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. Evidence suggests that endoscopic lung volume reduction is associated with improvement in lung function, exercise tolerance and quality of life . The procedure is currently carried out at leading hospitals around the world, with treatment centres operating in all main states of Australia.
Do you or does anyone you know suffer from
Late-Stage Emphysema? Emphysema is a chronic and progressive lung disease that causes difficulty breathing. Are you currently experiencing any of the following symptoms? » Shortness of breath » Severe cough or wheeze » Difficulty performing activities of daily living If so, are you aware there is a treatment available in Australia that could help relieve these symptoms?*

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
French Island to be annexed, tennis club in full swing Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 October 1913. FRENCH Island has the distinction of being the only piece of Victorian territory that is not under municipal control. Mr A. Downward, M.L.A., on Wednesday introduced a deputation to Mr Hagelthorn, Minister for Public Works, from the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, and also from the island itself, to discuss the question of annexing the island to the shire. Cr r J. D. Hodgins, president of the shire, Mr J. L. Parkes, president, and Dr Plowman, secretary of the Westernport Progress Association, Mr J. Lindley, Mr W. H. Renwick and others were the speakers. The Minister was asked for £2000 to put the roads of the island in order as a condition to annexation, since the revenue from the handful of people there would be very small. He was also asked to extend one of the jetties and to try and facilitate the construction of the new channel at Hastings. Mr Hagelthorn, in reply, stated that the department would also draw up a scheme, apart from any grant, and he believed it would satisfy the councillors present that the island could be taken over without incurring any financial loss. *** THE local tennis club is in a prosperous way, according to the financial statement made on Wednesday night at the annual meeting. There is a credit balance of about £9 in hand. It was decided to proceed with the formation of a new court at once. Several donations have been received, and the sec-
retary (Cr R. Jackson) will be pleased to receive any further sums from patrons or admirers of the game. Mr G. Keast was re-elected president; Mrs Geo Griffeth and Messrs F. W. Roper and A. Unthank, vice-presidents. Mr Jackson was elected secretary and treasurer. There are nearly fifty members. It was decided to proceed with a tournament at once. Delegates were appointed to attend a meeting of the Peninsula Tennis Association. *** DR Guthrie, the famous Scottish preacher, on one occasion expressed his opinion of whisky in these words: “Whisky is good in its place. There is nothing in the world like Whisky for preserving a man when he is dead, but it is one of the worst things in the world for preserving a man when he is living. If you want to keep a dead man, put him in whisky; if you want to kill a living man, put whisky in him.” And in his day Dr Guthrie spoke from a wide experience. *** BARGAINS were the order of the day at Mr W. White’s sale of household furniture at Mornington on Wednesday last. *** ALREADY a good number of furnished houses have been booked for the coming season at Mornington, several for long periods at good rentals. *** WE are pleased to state that Miss Jackson, daughter of the Rev R. and Mrs Jackson, of Frankston, who has been confined to her bed for some
weeks with a severe attack of influenza, is now in a fair way towards recovery, and is able to leave her room.
“There is nothing in the world like Whisky for preserving a man when he is dead, but it is one of the worst things in the world for preserving a man when he is living.”
*** THE building trade at Mornington is still very brisk. A couple more houses are going up in the “old home” paddock and at “Bendigo by the Sea,” also a five-roomed cottage is being built in Albert Street, by Mr A. Clarke, for Mr A. Beattie. *** AT the last meeting of the Beachdale Progress Association, greetings were given from the Westernport Association by Cr Plowman, from the Langwarrin Association, by Cr Oates, and
Moorooduc Association sent theirs along. Where was Frankston? *** THE Frankston Choral Society regret that they have recently lost a number of their members, who have left the district. Miss Annie Brody will be greatly missed by the members and also the public, as her reciting was always very much appreciated at the Choral concerts. *** THE Frankston Choral and Orchestral Society gave a very successful concert to the hall committee at Somerville recently, and were invited on that occasion to repeat the concert. On Saturday, October 18th, the Society intend giving a better programme in aid of their own funds. *** MR. John McGowan, the promising young baritone singer who has several times appeared successfully in Frankston, on Wednesday evening, 1st inst., we note from the Melbourne daily papers, gave a recital in the Masonic Hall, Collins Street, Melbourne, to a crowded audience. The Melbourne press speak in a flattering manner of Mr McGowan’s splendid singing. *** THE general entries for the V.R.C. Cup Meeting are to hand. A total of 1049 entries have been received. Both Zephuron and Lord Emms have been nominated for the Cup Steeplechase of 500 sovs, also the Victorian Steeple- chase of 500 sovs. Zephuron has been spelling since his Bendigo victory, and Lord Emms is busy training in Frankston. With a start both horses
will be hard to beat over the Flemington stiff fences. *** THE monthly meeting of the Fruitgrowers is to be held in the Mechanics’ hall on Monday night next. The election of show committee is to take place. *** THERE was a large attendance to hear Mr Jennings, of the People’s Liberal Party, speak on Tuesday night. The president of the local branch (Mr W. Martin) occupied the chair. A few musical items were rendered during the evening:- Miss Ruby Griffeth, overture; Miss Twyford, song; Mr Reed, song. *** THE hon sec (Mrs M. R. Deans) on behalf of the Ladies’ Committee for the official opening of the Melbourne Boys’ Home at Frankston, begs to thank the following ladies and Rev Dr Marshal, Scot’s Church, Collins Street, for their generous donations of cakes, milk, etc., towards the afternoon tea on the 4th October:Lady Madden, Mrs (Dr) Maxwell, The Matron Boys’ Home, Mesdames W. H. O’Grady, Deane, Jacobs, D. H. Chandler, Pownell, Lane, Bray, Reeves, Coxall, Heffernan, Cunningham, Misses Masterton, N. Williams and Stagmeyer; for donations in cash, amounting to £1 16s 6d, from Misses Wride, Ritchie, Chrisp, Mesdames W. H. O’Grady, T. Ritchie, W. Deane, Utber, Jolly, Chamberlin, Mason, Dalman, Barclay, Hay, Mytton, Pratt, Gilliard, Fisher, and Coulcher, and Mrs Hay, Frankston House, for glassware and crockery.

Hats N Hooves lunch to benefit Riding for the Disabled on peninsula PROCEEDS from this month’s Mornington Racing Club Guinot Hats N Hooves charity luncheon will go to RDA Peninsula, which serves the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston areas. The lunch on Friday 25 October is one of several events held in the leadup to the club’s feature spring racing day, the Peninsula Cup. Four Mornington schools and two adult programs participate in the Riding for the Disabled program where children and adults gain positive benefits from horse riding and equestrian activities. RDA relies on donations from the public and sponsorships from peninsula businesses. The lunch will be hosted by Channel 7’s Scherri-Lee Biggs, and will be in the Gunnamatta Room at Mornington Racecourse. The lunch package includes: A three-course lunch with associated beverages. Fashion styling by Beckie White and Main Street Mornington. A $50 facial voucher courtesy of major sponsor Guinot. Live auctions, silent auctions and a raffle, with all proceeds going to RDA. Door prizes. A prize for the table of women wearing the best hats. Tickets for the lunch are available from Mornington Racing Club, call 5975 3310. More information is on the club’s website at www.melbourneracingclub. net.au/the-races/mornington/about/ guinot-hats-n-hooves-charity-luncheon All in a good cause: Some of the women who attended last year’s Hats N Hooves charity luncheon at Mornington Racecourse in the lead-up to the Peninsula Cup.
Conti aims to inspire The annual art show at The Continental Hotel in Sorrento attracts state-wide interest with works from 130 artists displayed last year. In 2000, hotel co-owner Rick Di Pietro and southern peninsula-based painter John Baird reckoned that they could add colour to the bistro’s large limestone walls by adding some art. The idea turned into a small competition attracting entries from around 30 regional artists. The show was well received and steadily built in popularity. The current exhibition showcases eight peninsula artists. “When artists enter the competition, they are joining our
annual artist pool,” exhibition curator Stahle Spencer said. The Continental Hotel gallery space now presents three separate exhibitions each year. Some are themed, challenging entrants to step outsiede their comfort zone. Competing works are displayed and the winners are announced on opening night as artists mingle with their peers, family and friends to discuss each other’s works. This year’s head judge Gabe North will be assisted by Donna Magree. First prize is $1500 along with the $500 Linda Gebar Encouragement Award, intro-
duced to help inspire up and coming artists. A one-off additional prize, for the best abstract or semi abstract work, is an autographed book from German artist Albert Oehlen, donated by Paul Whattie at Rosebud Bookbarn. All are welcome at the opening night and award announcement on Sunday 17 November. Vino is supplied by Ciccone Wines. Entered artworks must be delivered to the hotel between 11am-2pm on 27 October. Contact Stahle Spencer on 5984 2201 or email sspencerconti@gmail.com for full details.

The meaning of existence (and other short stories)
Great thunderboxes of the new millennium
By Stuart McCullough YOU can tell whether society is civilized by a great many things – its music, art and whether it can sustain a viable roller-derby competition. You can also glean much from the things a community builds – its temples, halls and so on. But the true character of a city is revealed not in its grand designs, its monuments or skyscrapers. You need to look closer to ground level. If you really want to understand a society, look at its toilets. It’s true that such things should never be raised in polite discussion. Indeed, it’s no accident that we have developed all manner of euphemisms for describing this most basic of human functions. From ‘powdering your nose’ through to the ever-cryptic ‘seeing a man about a horse’, we are programmed from childhood to avoid declaring that we have heard nature call and intend to answer it. I, for one, am not afraid to say that I’m a firm believer in high quality public facilities. Truth be told, it was upon being handed a shovel and the instruction to “find somewhere quiet” when camping as a child that permanently put me off the outdoors. To its eternal credit, Frankston not only has a high quality public convenience, they have called it a ‘comfort station’. Now that’s civilised. But a dark cloud has descended across our suburbs and towns, casting its ominous shadow over our communal outhouses and threatening the universal right to take a tinkle at short notice. These monuments to civility have become a target of anti-social behaviour far beyond bad graffiti that makes the bold but unlikely promise of ‘for a good time call….’. Vandalism and worse has resulted in the closure of many of these national treasures. Before long, we’ll be lucky if there are any left at all. It was Saturday morning and we were heading from one ‘open for inspection’ to the next. I’d been for a run and had drunk plenty of water to avoid dehydration. There are many rules when looking at other people’s homes; chief amongst them being that you must never utilise the facilities during an open for inspection. Trust me – it’s something I learned the hard way. When the sweet siren call of nature began to whisper in my ear, my mind immediately sprang into action, before swiftly pulling a hamstring and retiring ‘hurt’. I considered stopping at a well-known chain of fast food-restaurants for what is known throughout the civilised world as a ‘McSlash’ but decided to take the high moral ground. Besides, I’ve grown tired of purchasing a small order of French Fries when all I really want
to do is visit Fonzie’s office. As we drove on, I saw it. An expanse of green appeared over the horizon as we came upon a park. But as I gazed out upon the rolling hills and trees, my heart sank. For this park did not have a discrete brick structure tucked away in some quiet corner. Instead, the locals had installed space toilets from the future. It was a gleaming, metal box; like something you’d expect if Doctor Who decided to ‘pimp his ride’. For years, I have avoided these contraptions for fear that they might malfunction. I approached it slowly and with caution. As I got closer, a flashing green light suggested it was ready for its next victim. On the outside was a long list of instructions and, suddenly, not quite my greatest fear was realised. What if I couldn’t figure out how to get in? Without my reading glasses, the instructions may as well have been in Esperanto. Starting to panic, I was reduced to pushing various buttons and whole panels at random before curling my fists and banging on the outside. Miraculously, the door slid open. But getting inside was one thing. Getting the door to close was another entirely. After a few panicked minutes, I found another button and was entombed. Without warning, the same voice that tells me that the 7.36 express to the city is now departing platform 2 told me that I had ten minutes to do what I came for before unspecified consequences would be visited upon me. I assumed the worst – the door would spring open and a tactical response team, weapons drawn, would be waiting for me. Then, as though sensing my extraordinary level of anxiety, the soothing sounds of Burt Bacharach were piped into the room. As sentiments go, I wholly agree with Burt that what the world needs now is love, sweet love, but I’m not sure that I need to hear about it when using a public lavatory. Lucky for me, I was done before my ten minutes was up. As I exited the metal box and returned to the sunlight, I wondered how things have reached a point where something as simple as a public convenience needs a level of security to rival your local bank. If you can indeed judge a town by its facilities, I don’t know what a ‘Discomfort Station’ says about us. On the one hand, it’s cold and impersonal. On the other, it looks like it could withstand a nuclear bomb blast. Perhaps I’m being too nostalgic. I should move on. From this day forth, I will embrace technology. For when it comes to spending a penny, I have seen the future and it’s shiny, sleek and comes with a soundtrack by Burt Bacharach. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Olds Boys put to sword by Faithfull PROVINCIAL By IT Gully REIGNING MPCA Provincial champions Peninsula Old Boys didn’t get the start they were looking for when the new season was unveiled last weekend. Playing against cross-town rivals, Mt Eliza, the Old Boys were put to the sword by the Mounties’ opening batsman, Tristan Faithfull, who belted 115 in the eight wicket win. Faithfull played all season in the Second XI last season, getting a top score of 96. He was superb on Saturday in helping his side to the winning post with two overs to spare. The Old Boys batted first on their home deck and put together a more than competitive 5/173. Brandon Lawler top scored with 58 and Glenn Prendergast finished unbeaten on 40. Wade Pelzer also scored 36. With Faithfull in a damaging mood, there weren’t enough runs in the bank and the Mounties called it quits at 2/175. Langwarrin re-launched in Provincial cricket
with a convincing win over Mt Martha. The Kangas scored 6/153 with the evergreen Danny Weare top scoring with an unbeaten 50. Openers Taylor Smith (31) and Mark Cooper (30) got their side away to a good start with a stand of 64. The Reds had no answers for spin king Dwayne Doig, who at one stage had 4/8 before finishing with 5/25. Kade Bendle, out of Under 17s last season, top scored with 36 for the Reds while skipper Corey Harris was next best with 25. Mt Martha could only manage 9/114 in reply. Crib Point was able to chase down Baxter’s strong total of 8/174 at Crib Point Reserve. Baxter won the toss and batted and Shane McComb got his side away to a strong start with 56. Dale Irving contributed 35 and Dean Sterry finished unbeaten on 38. 8/174 looked good enough. Brad Davidson was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers with 4/41 from 10 overs, while Henry Dolphin claimed 2/15 from his 10. The home side couldn’t have got away to a better start in its chase.
Matty Blake was the aggressor of the two openers, smashing 96, while Dolphin played the anchor role with 34. Dolphin was the first one dismissed with the score on 140. However, just 35 shy of victory, the Pies lost six wickets for just 23 runs. They were 7/169, before Warren Herrington got them over the line. Ben Smith was the best of the Baxter bowlers with 5/16 from 10 overs. Smith, not known for his bowling, had just 21 overs in three senior matches last season. Long Island got its season away to a flier and sits on top of the ladder, disposing of Heatherhill with ease.The Islanders batted first on their home deck and amassed 6/177, Scott Phillips top scoring with 55, Paul Hartle opening with 36 and Stuart Doolan (31) and Andrew Tweddle (27) finishing not out at the end. In reply, the Hills were rolled for 111 in the 39th over. Adam Salerni, batting at nine, was the best of the bats with 17. Chris Hocking was the best of the Long Island bowlers with 3/11 from four overs while Fergus O’Connor, fresh from Premier cricket at Casey-South Melbourne,
helped himself to 2/16. Sorrento was unconvincing in its match but still got the job done against Moorooduc. The Sorras made 6/148 in its 40 overs, Anthony Blackwell top scoring with 33 and CJ King getting 26. Shaun Manby and Reece Cordeaux each claimed two wickets for the Ducs. In reply, the Ducs could only manage 8/134, Bobby Wilson and Brayden Gleeson each getting 24. Nick Davern bowled eight overs and finished with 3/28 for the home side. Mornington did what it needed to do against Rye without setting the world on fire. The Doggies batted first with Matt Foon top scoring with 57 and Ben Clements scoring 20. At one stage, the visitors were in some strife at 7/113 after losing 6/36. The strong bowling attack of the Doggies then stepped up to the plate and rolled Rye in the 30th over for just 94. Teenager Jack Haseltine snared 3/6 from three overs and Luke Harper claimed 3/23 from eight overs. Luke Popov also picked-up 2/11. Andrew Hitchener top scored with 25 for Rye.

Upset win: Hastings beat Baden Powell with the Braves being bowled out for 112. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Power powers way to ton for Flinders DISTRICT By IT Gully TOP order batsman Andrew Power was the major catalyst behind Flinders’ strong victory over Ballam Park in MPCA District cricket. Power smashed five fours and six sixes on his way to an unbeaten 102, while his partner in crime just happened to be one of the best in the business, Shane Beggs, who was also unbeaten on 89. The pair came together when the score was 3/46 and walked off with the score on 3/225 after 40 overs. In reply, the Knights were never in the hunt, losing wickets regularly and eventually bowled out for 86. Ballam Park was looking for a big improvement this season after an embarressing 2012-13, however, it appears in the early stages that not a lot has changed. Matty Roach top scored for the Knights with 25, while Max Royal was the pick of the Flinders bowlers with 4/20. Seaford is expected to have a tough season and things didn’t start well against Carrum. Batting first, Seaford was bowled out in the 35th over for just 65. Damien Lawrence top
scored with an unbeaten 22. Jackson Fry claimed 3/20 and Jeremy Graves 3/19 to be the best of the Lions’ bowlers. In reply, the home side lost five wickets on their way to claiming victory. Shaun Foster top scored with 28. Ryan McQueen picked up two wickets. Pines got its season in order early, knocking over the highly fancied Main Ridge. The Ridge batted first and early in the match were 3/3, however Brad Rossborough and Gareth Wyatt steadied the ship with 21 each, before Nick Gage scored 27 at the end. Brett Remy was the best of the Pines bowlers with 4/18. Ricky Ramsdale then guided his side across the line with an unbeaten 30. Pines won the match in the 35th over, losing just four wickets. Harley Parker opened with 25, while Jake Prosser made an early impression at his new club with a catch, run out, wicket and 19 runs. Hastings caused one of the upsets of the round, beating Baden Powell. The Braves lost the toss and were sent in to bat, however, were bowled out for 112. Only two batsmen made it to double figures, Rhys Elmi scoring 39 and Anjula Perera 44. Recruit Benny Johnson made a strong start
with his new club, claiming 4/24 from nine overs. Isuru Dias picked-up 3/20. In reply, the Blues were wobbly early before Luke Hewitt (31) and Ben King (21) guided their side to victory. Perera rounded-out a great game personally with 3/36. New kids on the block, Seaford Tigers, were shown the significant level of difference between Subbies and District cricket by Delacombe Park. The Tigers batted first and made 130 in 40 overs. Chris Brittain and Simon Dignan were the stars with the ball for the Parkers with 3/25 and 2/11 respectively. When it came time to bat, Jon Guthrie smacked 49 and Chris Brittain hit 38 to help their side over the line with three wickets in hand. Corey Hand was the pick of the Tigers’ bowlers with three wickets. Somerville got away to a flier, smashing Boneo. The top order for the Eagles all got starts, Nick Marshall top scoring with 52 and Jack Barbour scoring 25. Chris Jobling and Justin Moore each claimed two wickets for Boneo. In reply, Boneo fell 50 runs short. Ryan Jellie top scored with 25. Justin Allsop was the best with the ball for the Eagles with 4/32.
By IT Gully ROSEBUD and Red Hill both started well with strong victories in round one of Sub District cricket. The Buds and the Hillmen are both expected to be right in the mix at the business end of the season and they were both up and going on Saturday. Red Hill had a walk in the park against Dromana. The Hills bowled first and rolled the Hoppers for just 63, skipper Simon Dart dominating proceedings with 5/11. The Hillmen then passed the total with the loss of just two wickets. Rosebud had to work a little harder than Red Hill in its match against Tootgarook. The Buds scored 4/175 in its 40 overs after batting first. Darren Kerr was the architect with 61, Leigh Parslow knocked up 51 and Adam Clifford made an impression opening the innings with 33. Jason Nagel was then the man to do the damage for Rosebud with the ball, claiming 4/31 from 10 overs. Brian Doughty snared 3/39 and Kerr made it a wonderful game personally with 2/35. Tyabb and Pearcedale went head to head in what was expected to be a tight tussle. The match certainly didn’t disappoint, the Yabbies getting home in a thriller by just eight runs. The Yabbies won the toss and batted first and were able to push their final total to 8/157. Luke Rus top scored with 48 and Ben Van Wees was also very good in the middle order with 43. Scott Didcock opened with 23. Shayne Gillings was the best of the Panthers bowlers with 4/29. In reply, the Panthers looked to be in a strong position at 3/75 and again at 4/118. New skipper Chris Dew did his job with 68 and David Brabazon scored 25, however, there wasn’t any wag in the tail. Pearcedale was bowled out in the 39th over. Nathan Hudgson took 4/23 from 8.4 overs for the Yabbies. Carrum Downs and Frankston YCW also had a tight battle. The Downers batted first and made 8/151, thanks largely to Chamara Perera, who blasted an unbeaten 45 batting at nine. Adam Muirhead picked-up 3/50 for the Stonecats. In reply, YCW fell just two runs short. Teenager Jack Greenwood opened with 38 and Paul Bradley (57) and Luke Hutchison (27) appeared to be the ones to get their side over the line. However, they lost their last four wickets for six runs and fell short. In the final match, Skye won comfortably over Balnarring. Balnarring batted first and was all out for just 91. Mark Wales top scored with 37. Leigh Smith was outstanding for his side with the ball, taking 4/13, while Phil Clinch picked-up 3/35. In response, it was Smith again who was the difference, scoring 40, while Stephen Smart hit 26. Skye won with an over and five wickets in hand. Southern Peninsula News 8 October 2013

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard
Rye honours club servants MORE than 130 guests attended the Porstsea Hotel to celebrate the Rye Football Club’s 2013 season last month. Adam Kirkwood won his third Clarrie Jennings Medal as Rye’s senior best and fairest winner, one vote ahead of last year’s winner Darren Booth. League most valuable player and team of the year captain Rhett Sutton was third and coach Ben Holmes finished fourth. Daniel Schwind won the reserves award with Toby Woodford runner-up and big Michael Pudney third. Three new Rye Football Club life members were inducted: Matt Noldt, Kyle Jennings and Matt O’Rourke. A fantastic achievement for all three. Kyle Jennings and Matt O’Rourke are third generation life members of the Rye Football and Netball Club within their respective families. Kyle Jennings joined grandfather Clarrie Jennings and mum and dad, Dan and Wendy Jennings, as a life member. Matt O’Rourke joined the life members club with dad and current club president Mick O’Rourke and grandmother Babs. Matt Noldt (268 club games) is equal second on most senior club games played, tied with Scott Beel on 241. The great Nick Appleford is number one on 308 games. All three began playing in the Rye Juniors back in the early 1990s. The night’s highlight was the presentation of two outstanding achievments and dedication plagues awarded to two club legends, Scott Beel and Bruce Millar, for outstanding services to the Football and Netball Club over many years. The home change rooms will now be called the “Scott Beel Change Rooms” and the trainers area inside the rooms will now be known as the “Bruce Millar Trainers Room”. Scott Beel has given 28 years of service to the club, including 308 club games and was coach of the 2007 Reserves Premiership. He has served for 17 years on the club’s committee, including ten years as vice-president. Bruce Millar has been a trainer at the club for 17 years, including 12 as head trainer and also eight years on the committee. They are two outstanding servants of the Rye Football and Netball Club.
Schwarze to lead Sharks
SORRENTO has appointed former premiership coach Troy Schwarze to lead the club forward. The appointment ends months of speculation over who would do the job, after it became obvious that the club didn’t want Nick Claringbold to go around again. The Sharks are looking for improvement again next season, with at least seven new faces in the line-up. Josh Stephenson, Dalton Sanderson, Jon Croad and Matt Debrowski are all back from interstate or overseas. Myles Pitt appears a certainty to play with the Sharks next season, while former premiership captain and Crib Point coach, Dave Lawson, plans to finish his career where it all began. Finally, the younger brother of Ryan Jeffrey, who played at Knox this season, is expected to be a Shark. We hear he’s a gun!
Stonecats have a coach
FRANKSTON YCW has appointed former Under 18 coach and assistant to ‘Buggsy’ Barry, Scott Mathers, as its new coach. The Stonecats had a nibble at Gavin Artico, however, when he took the Langwarrin job, the door opened for Mathers.
Clubs with no coaches
THERE are still some clubs who have not appointed coaches at this stage. After reporting that Duane Annable had landed the Crib Point job, we were told that this was not the case. We understand that former Hastings forward Dylan Hand is being interviewed this week. Seaford is still looking for a coach (although we hear former Somerville midfielder Ben Crowe is keen), as is Karingal, while Nepean premiers Dromana are still without a coach. We also hear that Nick Claringbold is the new coach at Peninsula Old Boys in the Ammos.
Hillmen on the move
WE expected that Red Hill would be big movers in the off-season under new coach Tony Blackford and this is certainly the case. The Hillmen have already landed talented forward Jarred Eames from Karingal, as well as Nick Batemen from Frankston Dolphins. They are also expected to land a 100-game VFL midfielder who played finals this season. Added to this is dual YCW premiership player Blake McCormack. Dan McNamara and Marcus DaLago are back from overseas and injury respectively. Blackford said he was confident that there would be at least another three signings over the next couple of weeks.
