Doubt cast on fire text alerts By Mike Hast THE inadequacy of the Mornington Peninsula’s mobile phone system during summer when thousands of visitors arrive has been exposed by a senior CFA volunteer. In a letter to a federal politician, Peninsula Fire Brigades Group officer Tony Brown stated “poor to non-existent” mobile phone coverage in the region meant people might not receive bushfire warnings. Congestion of the mobile network over summer was putting lives at risk. Mr Brown said the increase in summer tourists and campers meant local roads “would struggle to cope with a mass evacuation” and could leave people potentially trapped with no mobile communication. The warning came in a letter sent to federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt who used it as the basis for a speech in Federal Parliament. The CFA’s peninsula group includes Boneo, Dromana, Flinders, Main Ridge, Mt Martha, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento. In his speech, Mr Hunt said the peninsula was one of the most bushfireprone areas in Victoria. “We have a large number of people in a high fire danger area with failing telecommunications. It is a recipe for disaster,” he said. “Lives are at risk because the government is failing to ensure adequate mobile coverage on the peninsula.” Mr Hunt said he had spoken to Telstra and written to the federal Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy seeking urgent assistance.

Shock deaths for bait collectors TWO fishermen have been killed in the past two years while using mainsoperated 240-volt probes to collect worms for bait. The probes are used to shock worms into coming to the surface from their underground travels. “A few dollars worth of bait is not worth your life. No fisherman should ever use probes to collect bait,” Energy Safe Victoria director Paul Fearon said. “Anyone with the apparatus should throw it away immediately.” Earlier this year a team of bait collectors using electric probes was warned off council reserves on the Mornington Peninsula. Details: www.esv.vic.gov.au

“It is a region with ongoing significant telecommunications problems. “The opening of the Peninsula Link Freeway, which will bring more tourists to the area, puts further pressure on a system that already can’t cope.” Mr Brown’s letter stated: “Effectiveness of the government-developed mobile phone warning system needs to be tested under these trying conditions to ensure it would not be severely compromised as it depends on the phone system in question transmitting warnings and information about current life-risk situations. “If such circumstances were to be realised, we would be faced with a scenario of public emergency warnings not being heard in one of the most heavily populated and fire-prone areas in the state.” Mr Brown was contacted by The News but directed questions to the CFA’s director of southern metro region, Peter Schmidt. Mr Schmidt said it had not been the CFA’s intention to go to the media as “it is outside our charter”. He said Mr Brown would not be censured as it was Mr Hunt who had gone to the media. “There are [mobile phone] issues during the holiday period,” he said. “We had issues last year and Telstra boosted capacity but has been unable to help this year.” He said mobile phones used by CFA volunteers dropped out during calls, especially during the day but came good at night. Mr Schmidt said the peninsula had so far escaped serious fires. “We’ve had small fires but have been able to jump on them quickly.” Mr Hunt used the letter to criticise the federal government. “I would note that the government is spending billions, promising to put an NBN into areas that already have wellserviced broadband, yet the Mornington Peninsula does not even have an adequate mobile phone service,” he said in the parliament. “Five years ago we were going to receive an Opel system, which would have dealt with these problems. Instead we are now facing a 15-year wait, including the five years to now and the 10 years to come. “Residents and business owners are forced to use the wireless system. Unfortunately [it] is inadequate so we find that mobile phone calls frequently drop out, email delivery is delayed and in some places wireless services are only accessible after 10pm. It is wireless that is the problem and the solution.”

Hospital help from the art A GROUP of Sorrento-based artists wants other community groups to join it to raise money for Rosebud Hospital. Collection tins have been placed in shops throughout the southern peninsula and the artists are holding an Alice in Wonderland-themed art show at Easter. “All the little groups like us can help raise money for the hospital,” Pat Watts of Studio Sorrento said.

“Community groups and sporting clubs all need the hospital and should get on board to help. “It wasn’t the government that bought the land for the hospital; it was a gift from the community.” The art show will be held in the Sorrento Hall, corner Queens and Melbourne roads, Sorrento, over the Easter weekend, 29 March-1 April. Money raised will go to the hospital’s appeal for a CT scanner.

“If people see tins in shops, can they put a few coins in? Because they may need the help of Rosebud Hospital in the future,” said Ruth Benton, another Studio Sorrento member. “Otherwise, we may not have the hospital to turn to in when we need it.” A raffle is also being run with first prize of a flat screen TV, a digital SLR second and a coffee-making machine third.

The ups and downs of surfing bring a smile By Keith Platt WHEN six-year-old Noah Fayle stood up to surf a wave, there were at least 24 pairs of hands waiting to catch him if he fell. It was his second try at surfing a wave, having made the previous one all the way to the sand lying down on the surfboard. When he came out for the second attempt, Noah insisted on standing up. His efforts and determination brought smiles and applause from the 24 Disabled Surfers’ Association (DSA) volunteers lined up to help Noah achieve his goal. “The water is his calmer,� his mother Marita Fayle, of Rosebud, said. “He’s been asking for a surfboard and we’re going to give him one tonight as a surprise.� Noah, who has Aspergers syndrome, was one of 52 participants able to have a surfing experience at Point Leo in a “Let’s Go Surfing� event held

by the DSA’s Mornington Peninsula branch last Saturday week. More than 200 volunteers helped at Point Leo, making sure the time in the waves was safe and happy. Flinders MP Greg Hunt attended the DSA’s first event last year and promised to be back “with a wetsuit�. True to his word, Mr Hunt returned to Point Leo, joining other volunteers forming a corridor of safety in the shore break. After Noah was back on the beach playing with his sister, Ms Fayle said her son, a pupil at Moorooduc Primary School, loved being in water. “Sometimes, whenever he gets anxious, I’ll put him on the trampoline with a garden spray underneath. It calms him,� she said. “We also take him out fishing, which he loves.� The secretary of the DSA’s peninsula branch, Ashley Gardner, said the number of people wanting to try surfing on Saturday had more than

doubled since last year’s inaugural event. More are expected at the next “Let’s Go Surfing� day on Saturday 2 March and just as many volunteers would be needed to help out in the water and on land. The participants were taken to the beach tents on the DSA’s widewheeled wheelchairs, which between events are made available at peninsula lifesaving clubs. A barbecue was held later at Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club. “The day was an amazing success – plenty of sunshine, swell and smiles on dials,� Mr Gardner said. “This will continue to grow. Our next event is 2 March so we are putting the call out there to anyone with a good heart. We need you. No surfing experience is needed, there are no age limits and no booking is required. Just rock up at 8am at Point Leo beach. The event starts at 9.� Wave rave: Noah Fayle was one of the keenest and happiest surfers at the “Let’s Go Surfing� event at Point Leo by the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association. Chelsea McGhee, above, made sure he made it back to the beach on his first wave. On his second wave, top, Noah did it his way, making a stand before being gently caught by DSA volunteer Brodie Slater.

Edgy rendition of a still Waters By Keith Platt AS with many good results in life, it’s who you know not what you know. In Vicki Sullivan’s case, what she knows and who she knows have come together in her creation of a brooding and arresting portrait of actor John Waters. The Rye-based artist is entering the oil on Belgian linen painting in this year’s Archibald Prize. Waters agreed to sit for Sullivan after being contacted by his friend and fellow actor Steve Bastoni. Bastoni was the subject of Sullivan’s Archibald entry last year and offered to approach Waters about sitting for her this year. Waters, staying in a St Kilda hotel while in Melbourne filming a series of the television drama Offspring, agreed. “We had a lovely day with John when he came for his portrait sitting,” Sullivan said. “He is a very nice fellow and easy to get along with. “We talked about a wide range of subjects and had lunch in the middle of the sitting.” Sullivan said she wanted to do a “traditional, real rendition of him that would reflect his character, which is a bit edgy”. “He agreed that he’s a bit on the dark side. “I told him to wear whatever he felt comfortable in and he chose a T-shirt, denim jacket, jeans and moccasins.” Sullivan said her portrait depicted Waters as appearing “a little edgy and a little on the dark side, not too comfortable, which he says is like him”. “I asked him to shave as I didn’t

think I could paint stubble well, but he was filming Offspring at the time and had to have his stubble for the role,” Sullivan said. “So I took up the stubble challenge and I think I managed to make it realistic.” Sullivan’s portrait last year of Bastoni did not make the final cut for the Archibald, which has about 900 entries, but was selected for the Hidden Faces Victorian Salon de Refuse of the Archibald and was exhibited in the foyer of the Hilton Hotel at Docklands

for a couple of months. The painting also saw Sullivan chosen as a finalist for the 2012 Portia Geach Memorial Award at the S H Ervin Gallery in Sydney and the 2012 A M E Bale Art Prize for Oils at Glen Eira Council’s gallery in Caulfield. Spurred on by this success, Sullivan knows how tough it is to be an Archibald finalist, but is also mindful that the behind-the-scenes packers get to choose an entry. The packers are the first to see Archibald entries and last year they

went for actor John Woods. Sullivan is hoping they’ll want to make it an acting double with the edgy and dark John Waters.  The winner of the Archibald Prize receives $75,000 while the People’s Choice Award is $3500 and the Packing Room Prize $1500. Finalists in this year’s Archibald will be exhibited 8 June-7 July at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Civic Reserve, Dunns Rd, Mornington.

OWNERS of hot rod and “special interest vehicle” from around the region will burble into Dromana early next month for “Saturday Night at the Drive-In”, a fundraiser for the national children’s charity Variety. The gates of Dromana Drive-In on the Nepean Highway open at 3pm on Saturday 2 March. Apart from cool cars, highlights include fancy dress prizes, two bands, children’s playground, auto trade stands, raffles (drawn at 8pm), movies at dusk and fireworks (at 9pm). The drive-in, which celebrates its 50th birthday in March, includes Shel’s Diner, a 1950s-style outlet with a wide range of food and drinks. All parking spaces are reserved for the hot rods but there is parking up the back of the drive-in and people can bring deckchairs and rugs and sit on the lawn to watch the movies. Entry is $45 a car and there are only 500 tickets. Sponsors are Shannons Insurance and Bendigo Bank. Tickets online at: variety.org.au/vic. Details: info@varietyvic.org.au

Taking a holiday walk on a swamp’s wild side

Swamp walker: Jessica Durrant is walking around Tootgarook Swamp for 10 days to raise its public profile as well as money to prepare an international protection listing. Picture: Yanni

By Mike Hast JESSICA Durrant asked her boss earlier this month if she could take 10 days from her annual leave. The conversation went something like this: “No problems, Jessica; where are you going? Gold Coast, Bali?” “No, I’m going to walk around the Tootgarook Swamp.” Yesterday at 8am, Ms Durrant set off from her home in Rosebud West adjacent to the swamp on a journey that she hopes will raise people’s awareness of the precious wetlands as well as raise donations to support Friends of Tootgarook Wetland Reserves and Save Tootgarook Swamp. She is public officer of both groups, which have become prominent in the past two and a half years defending the swamp from development. Part of the swamp is public land, but a quarter is privately owned and was zoned for residential and commercial development by the old Shire of Flinders, something unlikely to happen nowadays. Ms Durrant, 30, and her fiance Cameron Brown, 37, have become the driving force behind the groups. They have spent countless hours lobbying authorities like the shire council and Melbourne Water, trawling through public documents, and talking with long-time swamp advocates like Norm McKinlay – all with the aim of saving what is left of the area and, ultimately, winning international protection for the 380-hectare wetlands that once occupied 800ha. Ms Durrant racks up six kilometres

every day running around her neighbourhood “but I’ve never walked for 10 hours straight, let alone 10 days in a row, 21 kilometres a day”. “The effort will be worth it as the swamp is a place worth saving,” she said. “It is a lifeboat for flora and fauna with about 130 bird species recorded in the wetlands, 13 reptilian species including nine amphibious frogs, 12 mammals including five kinds of bats, and at least nine endangered plant communities. “This is as part of our efforts to raise the profile of the swamp and show those with the power to protect it that the voices calling for its protection are many and loud, both for the environment and wetlands especially, as globally they are facing huge threats to their existence. “The walk will be a journey into the life of the swamp and its inhabitants; a journey to imagine what once was and what has been lost; to dream about what can and will be one day. “I will endure the elements – no air-conditioning or complete rain protection for 10 hours a day. I honestly don’t know how I’ll go, but I know I’ll come out with a new-found respect for the environment and how hard it is for animals and plants to survive, especially when faced with the dangers of human interference like cars, noise, weeds, pets, etc.” As is the modern way, Ms Durrant will be carrying her smartphone and tweeting as well as writing a daily blog “with photos of the beautiful swamp creatures and plants” for her supporters. It will be posted on several websites and on Facebook.

She said the inspiration for the walk came from Miranda Gibson, who has been sitting in a tree in Tasmania since December 2011 as a protest against logging in forests. “The idea came during my daily run. We had just had a meeting where we talked about how to raise the public profile of the swamp,” she said. “I need the community’s backing for this to be a success, so whether it’s as a sponsor or just making a banner or getting the kids to draw something about wetlands and what makes them special. I’ll post drawings on the blog page so everyone else can see.” If sufficient money is raised, the swamp groups will pursue a Ramsar nomination, the international treaty that protects wetlands of significance. This will entail hiring environmental consultants and preparing paperwork. “A Ramsar listing can be sought by private citizens,” she said. “We won’t have to wait for the shire council and the state government.”  Donations can be mailed to Save Tootgarook Swamp Inc, 116 Elizabeth Ave, Rosebud West 3940 or sent to www.mycause.com.au/page/56278 They also can be left in an addressed envelope with staff at the service desk at Safeway in Rosebud West, where Ms Durrant works in the IT department. Follow Ms Durrant’s “100-hour wetland walk challenge” on her daily blog until 1 March on the Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association’s website (www.spiffa. org) and on the Save Tootgarook Swamp Inc Facebook page.

Pier pressure: Left, Dromana pier has concrete cancer and a life expectancy of eight years if not repaired. Picture: Yanni Above, people at Dromana’s Australia Day celebration find out about the campaign to replace the decaying pier with a new one. Picture: Association for Building Community in Dromana

Save Dromana pier campaign hots up By Mike Hast ABOUT 1000 people have signed a petition calling for a new Dromana pier. Most of the signatures were collected at the town’s Australia Day celebrations by the group behind the Save the Dromana Pier campaign, the Association for Building Community in Dromana. A marquee was set up at the start of the pier, a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike with a version existing since 1862. ABCD started its campaign last August (“Campaign to save pier”, The

News, 23/8/12) soon after it was told by Parks Victoria that the 1960 pier had concrete cancer and could be closed within eight years if not repaired. Association president Bob Donaldson and secretary Ray Barnard-Brown said Parks was considering three options – very little maintenance, which would condemn the pier to closure; remedial work to save it; or replacement. The save the pier committee is lobbying to have the demolition and construction of a new one carried out under a single contract. Mr Donaldson said the petition would be presented to Nepean MP

Petition sheets are at Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s office in Point Nepean Rd, Dromana; Dromana Primary School in McCulloch St; Mirage Hair, Shop 3, Pier St, Dromana; and at Rosebud Kite Festival on 9 and 10 March on the foreshore at Jetty Rd. The campaign has the support of Mr Dixon and federal Opposition MP Greg Hunt, Mr Donaldson said. “The pier is of vital importance to the Dromana and Safety Beach communities and I have joined the community campaign to save Dromana pier,” Mr Hunt said.

“I will do whatever is necessary to ensure we don’t lose this much-loved icon.” Seawinds Ward councillor Graham Pittock said the pier must be replaced. “We don’t want to see the construction of a new pier put on hold due to a shortage of funds. This would be devastating to our community and seriously impact tourism,” he said. “Hopefully the public will exert pressure on politicians to provide money to construct the replacement pier immediately after demolition.” Dromana’s pier was once the secondlongest on Port Phillip at 1200 metres.

It was crowded with fishing boats and had a rail line to move timber and other goods onto cargo ships. It hosted the famous paddlesteamers Golden Crown, Lonsdale, Ozone, Hygeia and Weeroona during the golden age of sea travel on Port Phillip between the 1880s and 1942 when the last steamer, Weeroona, ceased operating.  For details of the campaign, contact Association for Building Community in Dromana, PO Box 150, Dromana 3936 or send an email to: barnardbrown9@ bigpond.com

THE state government could force local councils to change their rating systems after it completes a review of differential rates. The government is seeking the views of Victorians before it issues new guidelines to councils. Mornington MP David Morris, chairman of the differential rates ministerial committee, said there had been “a significant increase in the use of differential rates and in the inconsistency of their application, raising a number of community concernsâ€?. “The Local Government Act 1989 previously provided councils with insufficient guidance regarding the application of differential rates,â€? he said. “Councils could levy differential rates as long as the highest rate was not more than four times the lowest, was calculated using capital improved value, and contributed to the council’s efficient and effective operation.â€? Mr Morris encouraged peninsula ratepayers, councils and other interested organisations to participate in the statewide consultation process. “The coalition government is committed to helping guide councils on the equitable and appropriate application of rates, while making it easier for ratepayers to understand how council rates are applied,â€? Mr Morris said. Many councils, including Mornington Peninsula Shire, charge different rates. The shire brought in a higher rate for owners of vacant residential land two years ago. Owners pay 20 per cent more than the general rate “to ensure that owners ‌ make an equitable financial contribution to the cost of carrying out the functions of councilâ€?, the shire said. Owners of heritage properties get a rebate of between 12.5-25 per cent and landowners who

undertake environmentally sustainable improvements to properties of two hectares or more receive a “land sustainability rebate�. Owners of farmland are charged about onethird of the general rate. There are about 1100 property owners on the farm land rate. In June 2009, the shire said “granting a differential rate to one sector transfers the rate burden to other sectors of the community�. Before the creation of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1994, the Shire of Flinders had a farm rate of 50 per cent of the general rate and the Shire of Hastings 66.7 per cent. The draft guidelines on differential rates and a discussion paper are at: www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/ localgovernment/projects-and-programs/differential-rates-guidelines Written comments can be sent to the Department of Planning and Community Development’s website by 28 February.

Food for tummies not landfills

Food for all: Sandy Dudakov, left, and Rob McMurrick of FareShare, Tony Salpietro of Woolies Hastings, and Greg Hunt load food destined for needy people instead of landfill. Picture: Yanni

SURPLUS food from 18 supermarkets between Rye and Mordialloc will go to a not-for-profit community group that feeds needy people. The arrangement between Woolworths supermarkets and FareShare was launched in Hastings on Monday. It is the latest deal between Woolies and FareShare, which started in inner Melbourne in late 2008 when two supermarkets agreed to provide unsold fresh fruit, vegetables and meat to the group instead of sending it to landfill. Dozens of stores now supply FareShare, which says it aims to serve one million meals this year. FareShare vice-president Sandy Dudakov said the organisation had since 2001 “given away healthy, nutritious meals to the hungry and the homeless in Victoria, using food donated by businesses�. “By rescuing food that would otherwise be wasted, ending up in landfill, we do our bit for the planet by helping to cut methane pollution and reducing demand for new food products,� he said. FareShare volunteers will collect food from outlets in Rye, Rosebud, Rosebud West, Hastings, Somerville, Baxter, Mornington, Mornington East, Mt Eliza, Frankston, Langwarrin,

Karingal, Seaford, Carrum Downs, Patterson Lakes, Chelsea and Mordialloc. It will be used to make meals distributed throughout Melbourne and Victoria by more than 300 charities. At the launch, federal MP Greg Hunt, whose electorate covers most of the peninsula, congratulated Woolworths for its continued support of FareShare. The good news was a break for Woolies, which, along with its great supermarket rival Coles, is being investigated by Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for allegedly engaging in improper practices to force down prices from suppliers. Woolies and Coles control about 70 per cent of Australia’s grocery spending and have been accused of using bullying tactics against food and grocery suppliers. About 50 suppliers have contacted the ACCC after it promised to protect their identities, formalising complaints that have been circulating unofficially for years. The two supermarket chains last year recorded combined revenue of more than $70 billion. Mike Hast

Help for teenage violence families THE state government will provide $750,000 to Peninsula Health for a three-year “Keeping Families Safe� program to support families on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston who are experiencing adolescent violence. The program is a first for Australia and aimed at reducing violence by adolescents aged 12-18 committed on par-

ents and other family members, which has doubled in Australia in the past five years. Victoria is the first state to fund a program to deal with the problem. In 2011-12, police in Victoria were called to 4017 family violence incidents where an adolescent under 18 years was the offender, almost double the 2006 figure. Outer suburbs and regional areas consistently report high

and increasing numbers of incidents. Adolescent violence in the home can take many forms, including physical assault, property damage and verbal abuse. Keeping Families Safe is based on a successful American program Step Up. Jo Howard, manager of Peninsula Drug and Alcohol Program and Youth Services, said the money would enable

Peninsula Health to “develop a comprehensive, coordinated and highly supportive response to families and adolescents who use violence in the home�. It would help adolescents stop their use of violence and address other issues they may be experiencing including alcohol and drug use, disengagement from education, and poor mental health, she said.

It was hoped the Peninsula Health service would be replicated in other states. “One important objective will be to strengthen our working relationships with police, given they are increasingly being called to homes where violence occurs,� Ms Howard said. Peninsula Health is this week hosting a conference on adolescent violence in the home.

It could be here in minutes.

Rye residents want community centre

BlueScope loss a ‘glimmer of hope’

RYE residents are lobbying the shire council to retain a public building instead of demolishing it for a car park. The building at 3 Lyons St was formerly home to Peninsula Women’s Information and Support Service, which closed last September when centre founder Elida Radig retired after 30 years. Prior to her decision, shire officers said the building would have to be vacated due to its deteriorating state. But at a council meeting in October, councillors led by Tim Rodgers pushed back and asked for a report on the possible uses of the building. The report was to include a “needs analysis on venues for groups that address social justice, including women’s information and support, and how the services would be provided to the southern peninsula”. The report has not been submitted to the council. On Wednesday, the campaign to retain the building was ramped up when residents held a rally outside the property. A spokeswoman for the group, Heidi Duell, said the site was a central location “with great access to transport and has long been recognised as an amenity that has supported our community”. Ms Duell, a Rye resident who stood unsuccessfully at the October council election, said the shire had an opportunity to keep the building as a community centre. She said community groups, not-forprofit groups, non-government agencies and individuals had expressed a desire to use the building. “Other suggested uses include a tou-

BLUESCOPE Steel has posted a net loss of $12 million for the six months ending in December, providing a glimmer of hope for the embattled steelmaker. For the same period in 2011, the company lost $530 million. The result is a sliver of good news for the Western Port region and wider southeast after another painful round of job losses in mid-January. BlueScope announced on 14 January it would shed 170 workers from its own payroll and from contractors working at its Hastings plant. In October 2011, the company closed its Western Port hot strip mill, one of two metal coating plants and retrenched 270 BlueScope and contractor workers after posting an annual loss of more than $1 billion. It later sold its steel-carrying ship Iron Monarch. The company’s managing director, Paul O’Malley, said BlueScope could make a small profit in the second half of the financial year. He said the firm would launch its new generation Zincalume product mid-year. BlueScope has upgraded two metal coating lines (Nos 4 and 6) at Western Port to produce what it says is the next generation of steel products. He said BlueScope was experiencing stronger demand in the United States but weaker demand in China. It had just won its first order in Russia for a prefabricated steel building, to be supplied from the US. “For the first time in four years we’re looking at reporting a profit,” Mr O’Malley said. “We have turned the business around. The foundation is there for growth.”

rism information centre like the one in Dromana; a place for artists to run art, drama and multimedia courses for youth and the wider community; a place for young people to meet and workshop their bands, films and encourage community connectivity; and a community garden,” she said.

“The chance to retain and develop the site to foster innovative initiatives will be lost if the building is demolished to gain a few car spaces.” Ms Duell said the building needed work but the model used to build the Rye’s Up community playground could be used.

Approval bid for $20m quarry tip plan Continued from Page 1

Pioneer pulled 300,000 tonnes of granite a year out of the quarry over 35 years before it closed in 1998 when the company reached the limit of its quarrying licence. Driving up the quarry access road off Boundary Rd, Dromana, takes you into a world not seen by members of the public. Self-sown pine trees line the track and march up the valley sides. The track gets steeper and suddenly we are on the northern edge of a huge pit 90 metres deep. Below is sparkling blue water about 20 metres deep that has accumulated in from ground water and runoff. Mr Latham said the quarry had a capacity of about 3.8 million cubic metres and he expected it would take about 150,000 tonnes of waste a year. PWM’s development manager, David Maltby, a geologist and landfill expert, said southeast Melbourne was running out of landfills. “Two in Clayton will be full within three and a half years. The Hallam landfill has capacity, but it won’t have room for waste from all councils in the region,” he said. Mr Maltby predicted shire residents would see an extra $100 on their rates bill each year if the shire had to send waste out of the area when the Rye landfill closed in about five years. The contents of compactor trucks, which pick up people’s bins each

week, would have to be loaded onto 20-tonne trucks and carted to tips in Hallam or Werribee. Mr Latham said fire protection measures would include “several fire mains around the perimeter” of the 60-hectare site as well as water tanks. Mr Maltby said there would be fuel reduction. An old fire access track between the quarry land and Arthurs Seat Rd had recently been re-formed. Power lines would be insulated, Mr Latham said. This meant there would be no recurrence of the fire that started in the quarry in January 2008 when a tree fell on power lines. Meanwhile, objectors are getting

organised to oppose the proposal. An open letter to the Ross Trust trustees was sent last week. Spokesman Kelvin Banks, whose property is next to the quarry, said neighbours and objectors were concerned about potential noise, smell, fire, leaking methane gas, extra traffic and loss of property values. The quarry is surrounded by pristine, green wedge land that is protected by planning overlays for bushfire, significant landscape, vegetation protection, erosion management and environmental significance, he said. He queried the sanity of turning the quarry, which is adjacent to Arthurs

Seat State Park, into a rubbish tip. “There was an earlier plan to make it into a park and Sheepwash Creek runs beside the quarry land. Will the directors of Peninsula Waste Management and the trustees of Ross Trust provide the community with personal guarantees that nothing will go wrong?” Objectors have created a website: SaveArthursSeat.com PWM and the Ross Trust have a tiger by the tail. Existing objectors are likely to be joined by property owners on Arthurs Seat Rd, including millionaire wine growers. The issue will heat up after the planning application goes to the shire council next month.

Cambodian cycle tour to help hospice PENINSULA Home Hospice is looking for fundraisers with a sense of adventure. The palliative care organisation that supports people living at home with a life-threatening illness as well as their families has teamed up with a travel agency to raise money and offer a bike ride across Cambodia. People signing up for the Cambodia Cycle Challenge will each aim to raise $6000, which will be split with PHH, a Cambodian village and an 11-day 440km cycling tour. “While in Cambodia, our fundraisers will also get to do some

hands-on volunteer work that will also have a positive impact on Cambodians who are struggling with daily life,” hospice marketing and fundraising officer Kim Michod said. The trip is being organised through Raw Travel and fundraisers have until the end of October to reach the target. Ms Michod said participants would be given advice and support “every step of the way” on the best ways of raising money. “Each fundraiser will be given an individual link to Every Day Hero, a web-based fundraising platform, where online donations can be

made and tax receipts are issued to supporters. All donations over $2 are fully tax deductible.” Ms Michod said the cycling trip in Cambodia would include “hands-on volunteer work” as well as attending a cooking school “where a percentage of the profits go directly to the village”. “They will also support Cambodian charity HUSK by participating in the Day in the Life program in Kompheim, a small village of farmers and itinerant workers about 16 kilometres from Siem Reap. “A host family will look after the

group, welcoming people into their homes and lives with the family receiving a small payment and a larger contribution made to the village fund, which is used for special projects such as water filters and wells. “The day will be spent joining the family and possibly helping with harvest, doing some planting, weaving thatch and learning to drive a bullock cart – real hands-on volunteering at its best.” To participate in the Cambodia Cycle Challenge, visit www.rawtravel. com or call 1300 208 245 or 9784 3303.

Burglars hit Cove REPAIRING the damage wreaked by vandals at a Safety Beach house could cost an elderly couple up to $100,000 say police. Detective Senior Constable Paul Smith of Rosebud crime investigation unit said burglars made quick work of destroying the house in Spinnaker Terrace, part of the Martha Cove development. Security guards patrolling the area told police the damage likely occurred between 1am and 4am on Wednesday 13 February. Burglars smashed a front window to get into the three-storey holiday house before going on a vandalism spree. They shattered benchtops and toilet bowls, smashed walls and fittings, and flooded the property by plugging the bath and sinks on the top floor and leaving taps running. Detective Smith said while the full damage bill was yet to be finalised, it would likely run to six figures. Anyone with information can call Rosebud police on 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Cyclist tracked THE lure of a free run home proved costly for a cyclist caught using Peninsula Link freeway. Closed-circuit television cameras on the new road recorded footage of the man cycling in the emergency stopping lane of the freeway each afternoon for several days, making it easy for Peninsula Link administrators and police to collude in his capture in Frankston on Monday. Leading Senior Constable Ross Randall of Frankston highway patrol said Peninsula Link staff alerted police to the man’s pattern of travel so that police were able to head him off at the Skye Rd exit of Peninsula Link about 4pm. The 64-year-old Frankston man was fined $282 for unlawful use of the emergency stopping lane and warned to stick to bike paths and suburban roads. Leading Senior Constable Randall said pedestrians, animals and bicycles, including the motorised variety, were banned from freeways.

Mopping up: Firefighters put out the remaining embers of a fire that partly destroyed an uninsured house at Safety Beach. Picture: Yanni

Insurance warning after fire DROMANA Fire Brigade has issued a warning to homeowners to check their insurance premiums after the owners of a house in Safety Beach were caught out when their home was badly burned last week. Dromana CFA captain Ben Griffiths said the brigade was able to save about half the uninsured house, but the front of the house and the owners’ car were destroyed. The brigade pulled out all stops to quell the fire in Dale Ave, which broke out about 3.20pm on Tuesday 12 February, just as Mr Griffiths and his grade six pupils at Dromana Primary School were awaiting the bell to signal the end of the school day. A brisk southeasterly wind was fanning the flames further into the house when Mr Griffiths and his team arrived and the car belonging to the

house owners was ablaze. “The gas main was burning at ground level and gas was flaring from the car and there was significant exposure to nearby homes,� he said. Pumper trucks from Mt Martha and Rosebud brigades were called in to help, while Frankston provided specialist breathing apparatus and Somers arrived with a specialist unit for fighting gas fires. Thermal imaging cameras were used to help firefighters navigate the blaze inside the house. Mr Griffiths said smoke detectors in the house helped alert the owners and neighbours to the fire. He commended onlookers who recorded video footage of the fire, which was used by CFA fire investigators, who are yet to report on the cause of the blaze. The occupants were unharmed. Jo Winterbottom

Surf businesses on a wave of support for mission kids THE strong Mornington Peninsula surfing community is supporting the screening of a documentary in Frankston to help children in a mission on the coast of Mexico. Surf-related businesses and their suppliers have donated more than $2000 in goods and services for a short auction following the screening of Somewhere Near Tapachula at Cube 37, Frankston Arts Centre, 9pm on Saturday 2 March. The documentary by two young Australians traces the story of Queensland couple Alan and Pam Skuse who sold up everything to keep open the refuge where children are taught and encouraged to surf as part of their care and education. Peninsula Surf founder Ted Bainbridge will auction a select few items, including a $1300 Bob McTavish Original 9ft 6in (2.85m) surfboard, a $529 Quiksilver steamer wetsuit and surfing lessons from Prue Latchford’s East Coast Surf School at Point Leo. The board is courtesy of Peninsula Surf and Global Surf Industries (which already sponsors the mission) while Peninsula Surf has provided the wetsuit. Bainbridge describes the McTavish board as “a beach-break specialist with extreme three-stage rocker profile. It is loose and fast off the tail but retains good nose-riding ability�. Features include a hippy pintail, 60/40 rails, double concave tail, single concave nose, and nose bevels to aid

stability. “This is a classic longboard, ready to surf or hang on the wall above the bar,� Bainbridge said. The men’s 4/3mm hydrolock chest zip steamer wetsuit is made from lightweight and flexible Fiberlite neoprene and Bio-fleece thermal neoprene. The award-winning documentary will be shown in the limited-space Cube 37 at 9pm. Producers and directors Stefan Hunt and Jonno Durrant said the “surfing experience and power of the ocean have had a phenomenal impact on the children�. “Each year, volunteers from all around the world, including Australians, travel to Tapachula to work at the orphanage and surf with the Mission Mexico children.� And each year as part of Frankston’s Ventana Fiesta organisers nominate a special cause, which this year is “Mission Mexico�. Bainbridge said surfers would understand how surfing attracts and benefits the traumatised Mexican children under the Skuses’ care. “Because they know what feelings these children are getting from surfing, peninsula surfers will want to help,� he said. Auction items will be displayed before the screening. Entry is by donation. Details and bookings: Gill Thompson, 0409 860 407

Vineyard picnic

Field work: Dolphin Research Institute research director Sue Mason and volunteer Evatt Chergwin with equipment used for observing dolphins from the land.

Helping dolphins By Jeff Weir EVATT Chergwin wanted to help make a difference to our bays as well as learn skills so became an active volunteer with the Dolphin Research Institute about a year ago. He now works with other volunteers assisting DRI’s research director Sue Mason in the field and in the Hastings office. The volunteers help to sort through more than 50,000 images of dorsal fins to identify individual dolphins using the unique nicks and markings on the fins – “fin prints�. Volunteers help the institute in many ways. During January they helped with community education programs, talked to families on beaches, prepared for events, managed community contributing to DRI’s work and had the opportunity to learn and experience new things. The institute is keen to recruit more volunteers to assist with research, education, administration and fund-

Dark vision on new Arthurs Seat chairlift MRS Emu is just down from the mountain, equipped not with stone tablets inscribed by the frightful finger of the Lord, but with serious news and a theory, which she begins babbling before the door stops squeaking behind her. Emu takes a deep breath and awaits the divine revelation. “The Arthurs Seat tower is gone!� she exclaims indignantly. “Not a trace of it left. But no sign of work on the new chairlift.� How could she not know the tower was gone, thinks the patient spouse; it was in all the papers. “Nothing but silence on the chairlift, but I’ll bet there’s lots of talk behind closed doors.� She sits and fixes Emu with a frightful eye. “They’ll reroute the road,� she says conspiratorially, “behind where the tower stood, and take over the old road for a bigger car park. “They may have to hack away part of the cliff edge where the old chairlift terminus is, to get the new chairs or gondolas or whatever they are up and over, to the new terminus – where the tower was.� The last phrase was heavy with bitterness, although Emu can’t recall her expressing fondness for the tower. “There’ll be a wide gash up Arthurs Seat under the path of the new chairlift. Lots of trees will have to go.� Her theory is now sounding like the Book of Revelation. “It’ll probably be visible from the moon, or at least from Melbourne skyscrapers.� She is warming to her work. “I’ll bet they are trying to get some of Arthurs Seat State Park, too, for car parking, restaurants, mini-golf, convention centres, hotels, that sort of thing. “You don’t bring tourists all the way up to the top of Arthurs Seat then have nothing for them to do but look at the vista through pay telescopes, and nowhere they can buy an ice cream, lunch, a souvenir T-shirt and mug with ‘I love Arthurs Seat’ before they go back down to Dromana.�

Emu ventures some tourists might like to picnic in Seawinds Gardens, perhaps stroll across to the splendid views of the southern peninsula, watch the pleasure craft and perhaps container ships plying to and fro like toys on the great flat glow of Port Phillip. “Perhaps,� she says frostily. “But don’t forget the government has opened its parks up to commercial tourist operators. “And don’t think a Macquarie Bank man� (she means Simon McKeon, the man fronting the chairlift consortium) “will not have an eye on making a quid. All those chairlift passengers will have money to spend and it’s his job to help them spend it. “They don’t call Macquarie Bank the ‘Millionaires Factory’ because of its philanthropy, you know.� Emu has fond memories of Arthurs Seat. For eons young emus burned their testosterone racing each other up the scrubby-treed 314 metres to its summit, to impress young female emus. Lyrebirds may have a talent for cheap imitation, we used to say dismissively, but they’re hopeless up a slope. He shares the Blushing Bride’s fears for the summit. Indigenous species including emus agree that the current low-scale developments are just about as much as Arthurs Seat (Aboriginal name Wonga) can stand without becoming gaudy. Alas, merchant bankers with lofty ambitions have their own peculiar view of the need to develop, a view many Mornington Peninsula indigenes don’t share. Emu and his BB are in rare, blissful agreement. He makes her a nice cup of tea.

McCrae splendour

First impressions count

THIS luxurious peninsula lifestyle property is a wonderful combination of beauty and eco-friendliness. The energy efficient, passive solar home was designed and built by the award-winning Carbon People, and has been built to the highest standards with extensive use of timbers, slumped glass panelling and marble. From the moment you enter through the keyless front door, the feeling of luxury is evident. The home has five levels of zoned living with expansive bay views on offer from most rooms. Ideally set-up for a catering business, there is a staggering number of quality kitchen appliances, including a freestanding, five-burner stainless-steel stove, a wall oven and a microwave convection oven. The home has been designed to minimise water, heating and cooling costs, and the attention to detail and vast array of quality fittings places the incredible home among the peninsula’s finest.

SITUATED in a popular locale, just a few hundred metres from the beach, this handsome brick home gives a great first impression. A feature front fence provides security for children and pets. Two magnificent Canary Island date palms stand tall and proud in the front garden. The floor plan provides a comfortable lounge room and family meals area with a kitchen adjacent, and there are three bedrooms. The flat block measures 700 square metres and includes some fruit trees. There is a single carport under the roofline of the home and toward the back of the block is a separate double garage and garden shed. Presented to a high standard, the home is ready to move in to and will be keenly soughtafter as a holiday home or investment property.

Rotary Club of Sorrento Art Show -Something old, something new

Rotary’s “Ride to Conference” Rotary’s “Ride to Conference” for District 9820 will be held in the greater Geelong Shire commencing on Sunday 17th February and ¿nishing at a civic reception on the Geelong foreshore on Friday 22nd February. Representing the Rotary Club of RosebudRye will be current President Dr. Neil Stitt and Barry Irving. Together they will each ride a distance of some 550 to 650 Klms to complete the ride. Funds raised from this

ride have totalled over $660,000 of which all monies have been donated to Rotary projects. Both riders can be sponsored by donation made to Rotary Opportunity Warehouse Mr Doug Helleren on 5986 8896. All donations over $20 are fully tax deductable. The combined riders and their support crew are aiming to raise $60,000 from this years ride. The money raised will go to “Life Education” for primary schools, “Disaster Aid Australia” and Australian Rotary Health projects.

A new dimension was added to the always popular 29thannual Rotary Club of Sorrento Art Show held at the Sorrento Community Centre during January. The inaugural Shutterbugs Beaches, Bays and Boats Photographic Competition for all school children was held from November 2012 until mid December aimed to give peninsula school aged children an opportunity to showcase their artistic achievement at the annual art show. The young people responded with an amazing total 140 photographs. The quality of their work was exciting. Judge, well known Mornington Peninsula photographer Yanni said he “was most impressed by the high standard and quality in each age division”. The competition created enormous interest and involvement through the community. The winners were presented their awards and Rotary Photographic Achievement Certi¿cate at a club barbeque at the Community Centre. The major senior prize for $500 went to Rebecca McPhail, and junior prize for $250 to Gemma Grant. The Club acknowledges the generosity of the sponsors - Sorrento Community Centre, Searoad Ferries, Balin, Trigger and Peninsula Surf. Once again the Rotary Club of Sorrento organized the spectacular art show, considered to be one of the most prestigious exhibitions on the peninsula. It is a great platform for established and emerging artists to present

Editor: Barry Irving 5985 4666 their work with the added bene¿t of fundraising at the event for the local Rotary community projects. Again a diverse display of local, Victorian and national artists were viewed by those visiting the show. The preview night was above expectations with many paintings being snapped up on the night. The judge this year for the art show was John Duncan-Firth, well known for his paintings. John Bredl was the demonstration artist this year with a number of feature artists. Winning works were- Best in Show - Nectar of the Gods by R Todman-Parrant. Best Oil or Acrylic –Midday Light by Len Pawluk and Best Water-Colour -Summer Haze by Joseph Zbukvic and best pastel After the Sunshowers by Lyn Mellady. Major sponsor RT Edgar support is vital and always appreciated and also that of 3AW693, Searoad Ferries and many other local businesses. The proceeds of the show go back into the local community to our local schools, Rosebud Hospital, Peninsula Home Hospice and many other community organisations.

Healthy Living

Just 30 minutes does the trick By Glenda Henson FORGET working out two hours a day. Just 30 minutes, three times a week is all that is needed for women to become fit and strong. A scientifically proven 30-minute workout is one of the key ingredients behind the global sucess of the Curves women’s fitness and weight loss clubs. According to Curves director of exercise and research, Katie Mitchell, the use of hydraulic resistance exercise equipment is integral to the Curves’ 30-minute workout. “Most women only have a small amount of time to fit exercise into their schedule so every minute counts,� she said. “That’s why the Curves Circuit includes hydraulic resistance exercise equipment. This equipment gives women the ability to strength train opposing muscle groups at the same time. Doing two excercises on the one machine

simultaneously cuts down workout time. “Hydraulic resistance equipment is also generally safer than free weights because women are not required to pick up and put down heavy weights. The faster a member moves through our machines, the more resistance she will feel. This makes hydraulic resistance safe and effective for all fitness levels.� Women work out in 30-second intervals on the Curves Circuit. “Thirty seconds is the optimal time to allow muscles to work at maximum capacity before fatigue sets in. This means members can recover more effectively between strength machines and sustain heart rate within their target heart rate training zone.� Contact Curves on the Bay in Rosebud for a free tour and fitness assessment on 5982 0035 or visit the centre at 875 Pt Nepean Road, Rosebud.

A true history of the Russian Revolution By Stuart McCullough LAST year, unsuspecting VCE students were given an exam question on the Russian revolution based on Nikolai Kochergin’s painting Storming of the Winter Palace. The examiners sourced a copy of the famous work from the internet – it’s how things are done these days. But along with depictions of revolutionary hoards storming the palace gates, the picture also featured an armed robot. The robot had not been a feature of the original work, perhaps as a matter of oversight, and was apparently added by some internet dweeb with way too much time on his hands. The robot, it must be said, appears to be quite a fearsome work of mechanical wonder. It has cannons in place of arms and a goose-like neck with something resembling a bazooka for a nose. It is clear from even the most cursory of glances that the robot in question is an awesome killing machine. It makes you wonder: why wouldn’t the Bolshevik forces use such an amazing piece of weaponry? While conventional history would have you believe that the revolutionaries stormed the former home of Tsar Nicholas with little more than a stale piece of bread and a knitting needle, the truth is far darker. This was, after all, the first successful communist uprising. That they had help from futuristic robots and other advanced weapons goes a long way to explaining how the Soviet empire was formed. The painting depicts the events of 25 October 1917. The Russian royal family had abdicated some months earlier and was in the process of trying to put together a Kardashian-style weekly documentary series to restore its good

fortune. Sadly, the project never got off the ground and the family was brutally executed the following year, a fate that is sadly yet to befall the Kardashians, despite my letters.

Southern Peninsula News 21 February 2013

A provisional government under the leadership of Alexander Kerenski had been established and had occupied the royal family’s former home. Just as Rome was not built in a day,

neither was the Russian revolution. Vladimir Lenin had been in exile and, sensing that the time was right, had returned to Russia from Finland two weeks earlier disguised as a train engineer. It’s a little-known fact that aside from being a communist revolutionary and Theremin enthusiast, Vlad was a master of disguise. I’ll bet he wore an engineer’s cap, overalls and a neckerchief. I’d like to think he helped passengers with their luggage or even attempted to explain the pre-revolutionary version of the Myki ticketing system. Arriving in St Petersburg, Lenin ditched his engineer duds and replaced them with a brown cloak and hood. It allowed him to walk through the city unrecognised. Legend has it that when stopped by armed guards, Lenin simply declined a request for identification papers by raising his arm and waving his hand slowly across the guards’ faces. In addition to his ability to control the minds of others, he was also something of an early riser and the communists decided storming the Winter Palace was something best done at 2am. Say what you will of the perils of communism, but their devotion to an early start has to be admired. That way, Lenin could bed down the revolution well before breakfast and still make his regular Pilates and spin classes. Lenin later joked that this was an example of “class struggle”. The revolution was something of an anti-climax in that the Russian army was off fighting the First World War. Later, Lenin went on to say that they had found power lying in the streets and had simply “picked it up”. Not that they knew it would be so easy. As

a band of Red Guards approached the Winter Palace, they would have had little idea as to what awaited them. Lenin, fearless leader and part-time train enthusiast that he was, led the way. Luckily, the joint was almost entirely abandoned. But turning toward the main ballroom, the would-be revolutionaries unexpectedly stumbled on the remains of Alexander Kerenski’s provisional government. Immediately sensing danger, Lenin reached beneath his robe and activated his light sabre. Somersaulting toward his would-be assailants as they fired off several shots from their laser blasters, Lenin used nearly every technique that his mentor, Yoda, had taught him. It was over within minutes. Having conquered the Winter Palace, Lenin then returned to the Millennium Falcon and the forest moon of Endor for a party featuring Humphrey B Bear’s midget cousins. These events are nowadays referred to as either the Great October Socialist Revolution or, if preferred, simply as “Rocktober”. The real painting is in Tchelyabinsk, so it’s no surprise the examiners resorted to the internet. But I, for one, welcome the fact that the truth about the so-called People’s Uprising has finally been exposed as the big robotic lie that it is. Sadly, of the nearly 2500 students who answered the question, only 27 made reference to the robot. Apparently, the appearance of the mechanical death machine was too much for some. Little wonder. With so much at stake, few will have had the presence of mind to expose the Russian Bolshevik Revolution for the full-on Jedi freak festival that it was. Maybe next year. www.stuartmccullough.com

EMI will release the Iron Maiden Double Disc DVD Maiden England ’88 on March 25. Now available for the very first time on DVD, this live show was filmed across two sold-out nights in the UK in 1988 during the band’s World Tour. Disc one contains the concert which has been specially upgraded and extended from the existing 1989 long form VHS release and now includes three previously unreleased encores: Running Free, Run To The Hills and Sanctuary thereby completing the full concert with a total running time of 110 minutes. Maiden’s own film producer and director Andy Matthews went back to the 1988 edit and painstakingly remastered each shot digitally; colour correcting and grading to give the image the best possible look from that time. The Maiden England ‘88 concert soundtrack will also be made available on 2CD album, limited edition double vinyl picture disc and digital download formats. The 2013 World tour dates have been announced. www.ironmaiden.com *** AN exciting new era kicked off in epic style for Mushroom in Melbourne last week with 550 of the leading entertainment group’s closest friends celebrating the announcement by Michael and Matt Gudinski of a major rebranding for the Mushroom Group, with new logos and a repositioning for the group’s two dozen subsidiaries. After 40 years in the business, the Mushroom Group is proudly Australia and New Zealand’s leading independent entertainment group. With more than 20 companies under the umbrella, Mushroom arguably defined the ‘360’ model long before it became a music industry catchphrase. Encompassing international and domestic touring, booking agencies, record labels, merchandising, music publishing, creative and marketing services, venues, exhibition and events production, film and television production, there is almost no end to what the Mushroom Group does or can offer. Executive chairman of the Mushroom Group Michael Gudinski said: “After 40 years in the business I cannot express how proud I am of what the Mushroom Group is today and that my son Matt has stepped up into the role of executive director. Times have been tough for the music industry in general but the diversity

of Mushroom and the quality of the artists we work with has ensured our position as Australia and New Zealand’s leading independent entertainment group. I can’t wait to see where the next decade takes us.” Matt Gudinski added: “Mushroom has been synonymous with quality music and entertainment for many Australian and New Zealanders since the ‘70s. The sale of our perhaps most publicly known company, Mushroom Records, back in the late ‘90s led to some confusion around the Mushroom brand, despite the fact that the Mushroom Group and its subsidiaries and is now in a better position than ever before. Today’s announcement is about reconnecting the power of the Mushroom brand and its many associated companies with both the public and the industry.” Mushroom Records was formed by Michael Gudinski and Ray Evans in 1972. Its inaugural release was the triple live of the 1973 Sunbury Pop Festival and over the next few years Gudinski and Evans signed a number of great Australian acts including Chain, Madder Lake, Mackenzie Theory, Buster Brown, Sid Rumpo, Ayers Rock, Skyhooks, Mother Goose, Stars, Ol’55, Split Enz, The Sports, The Dingoes, The Ferrets and many others. *** AUSTRALIA Post is showcasing popular small dog breeds with the release of five domestic base-rate (60c) stamps featuring a miniature schnauzer, miniature dachshund, pug, Australian terrier and a cavalier King Charles spaniel. Australia is a nation of dog lovers, with more than 35 per cent of households owning at least one dog. The stamps were designed by Susan Elliott based on photographs by Craig McGill of the Sydney-based McGill Design Group. A booklet collection is available as part of this stamp issue. This product comprises five booklets of 10 x 60c self-adhesive stamps for each of the featured breeds and housed in an attractive folder. Other products available include a first day cover, stamp pack, maxicard set of five and five booklets of 10 x 60c self-adhesive stamps. The Top Dogs stamp issue is available from 19 February at participating Australia Post retail outlets, via mail order on 1800 331 794 and online at www.auspost.com.au/stamps. ***

I HEARD a car pull up in the gravel driveway and saw Oscar get out. As he walked toward me, I saw he was wearing one loosely tied sneaker on the left foot and a Blundstone boot on the right. He had on a brown Volvo cardigan over a VB T-shirt, and blue work shorts. He had obviously been in a good paddock judging by the tightness of the T-shirt, and was smoking as he walked, alternating a draw on the cigarette with a deep cough. He carried a six-pack of beer and was puffing like a steam train. He was not a picture of fitness and sartorial elegance. However, I digress. Oscar sat down with a deep sigh and told me he was in deep trouble and didn’t know what to do. I told Oscar I believed the lovely Charlotte had given him an ultimatum. She had told him he was not nice to be near, was overweight, unfit, drank and smoked too much, ate the wrong food, dressed like a bogan and, to top it off, was not a satisfactory matrimonial companion. She had told him to shape up or ship out. Oscar’s jaw dropped. He was displeased with Charlotte for telling me this. I was able to settle him down and said she had not “given him up”. I told Oscar I knew he was overweight because had put on different shoes that morning, not being able to see what he was doing due to his extended stomach. I said he should also do up his fly. I told him his breathing showed the low level of his fitness and that his dress sense was a complete turnoff to anyone who saw him, especially women. He was devastated. Poppy’s solution I told him to go home to Charlotte and ask for her assistance to get fit. He was then to see a doctor, get a check-up and then start walking every day, building to 45 minutes a session. I gave Charlotte a diet of low carbs, high protein and salads for Oscar and a small plate. To cut down his drinking, he had to drink one full glass of water after each stubby (try it some time, you disbelievers). He had to stop smoking before it killed him. I told him to buy some new clothes under the supervision of Charlotte (anyone who can wear a brown Volvo cardigan has no dress sense), and chuck out the old ones. Until his stomach reduced, he was to get a clothing check from Charlotte before venturing out into society. Oscar took my advice, and while he will never have the ultimate body, he has lost weight, feels and looks better, and suggests you all learn from him. He now wears better clothing and confessed he gets an invite to the other side of the bed now and then.

A Grain of Salt I’VE yet to meet the person without bias. True; many will not divulge their political leanings though one five minute conversation shows the way. What in God’s name is a swinging voter and why advertise it; I don’t believe them anyway. You’re either Labor or Liberal unless you happen to be infused with a temporary (four years?) feeling that you have seen the Green light. I vote Labor not because I was born that way (as I was) but because I cannot bring myself to vote Liberal. You can talk till you’re blue in the face but there are only two parties; one to govern, the other to oppose. Football is no different, almost always a situation of birth but again the two options; for or against the Mighty Magpies, infused again with bias. Imagine being a supporter of the Liberal Party and a Carlton supporter; like being born in the Malle, no disrespect intended to those who live in Malle. Two thousand and thirteen is the Chinese year of the black snake, the humanitarian year of the zodiac. With what’s happening in politics and football I don’t see the humanitarian influence coming our way. Press on, ever in hope. PS: Some of my best friend have the Malle influence, misguided obviously. *** Ever so slowly they are stuffing us up, one small step at a time. An army of do-gooders with ideas via the Yanks,

political correctness, anti-discrimination, healthy living, children, teaching; never ending. On the Mornington Peninsula we have The Friends of Rosebud Beach and Foreshore, Our town Rye, the Greenies, the Red Hill Community Action, Beleura Neighbours, Mount Eliza Action Group, the ecologically aware crowd and the environmental campaigners generally. Further afield like groups are splattered all the way to Mordialloc and possibly beyond; an unknown area in my world. We have councillors but I’ve never seen one and always politicians, each a pseudo model of goodness. Glory be. Amidst all this it becomes more evident that a number of older people have a strong sense of regret about their lives coupled with a singular respect for their actions. We want other people to conduct themselves in a certain way; actions and thinking. Forget it. The train has left the station, express to Lahlahland. Imagine a month, a whole blissful bloody month with no research results and, perhaps more importantly, no new laws. Pigs might fly. *** SENIOR Youth Court Judge Stephen McEwen, commenting on government departments making arms length decisions running contrary to the welfare of troubled youths after instructing the department to house two brothers in the same juvenile detention facility

and finding that said instructions had not been followed said: “I’m sick and tired of that entire department being obstructive control freaks, constantly throwing up psuedo reasons dressed up in social work speak for refusing to just have a look at the blindingly obvious. “They hire people who are social workers who are trained and probably want to do social work, but they don’t let them because no one will do anything without running it past a bunch of psychologists. I think it’s just utterly pathetic... and they come out with facile pathetic nonsense” Nice to know someone agrees with me. *** THE dust has settled and normalcy returns, almost. Living on the Mornington Peninsula where, handsome Greggy Hunt reigns, our vote is irrelevant. Julia’s overseas detention centres idea is disgraceful but then Tony will be no better. So much for God and love thy neighbour. Where’s the basic human rights for asylum seekers? The lady is a tough cookie; knocks off Kevvy a second time and for good measure gets her entourage to add fuel to the fire followed later by a viral serve on family first virgins forever Tony. Assuming Malcolm isn’t in waiting to plunder, Tony has months to trot out a few policies as did Teddy here

in Victoria, quickly forgotten in favour of the blame game. Whatever, assuming these two stack up against each other come September Tony is a shoe in. It’s fun, and we all love it; the headlines that is. We don’t read on down. *** ARE we ever redeemed? Perhaps you don’t need redemption in the sense that you’ve done nothing wrong? Or you’ve forgotten? My horoscope compliments me daily via the Herald Sun. All good fun of course. No matter how hard we try do we ever overcome our base nature? Are our sins really ever forgiven? Hardly a month goes by I don’t think of something I’ve done that wasn’t right; a memory trigger of something stupid. The past is never the past; it remains; answering for our sins. The self-help crowd will say you have to forgive yourself. I forgive, but my inner voice doesn’t listen. *** THERE are people amongst us who become stressed if the driver of the car in front is wearing a hat or driving spot on the speed limit. Those same people shatter the speed limit after exiting roadworks. Are they related to those who become upset if Woolworths put easter eggs up for sale too early? Maybe they take peptides? *** THE three stooges, aka Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority

By Cliff Ellen

(ASADA), the Crime Commision and the AFL ... Would The Pope wear trackies while watching television? I could write a weekly column on the anti-smoking crew and doctored statistics but this paranoid approach to the point of near frenzy is best ignored; first rule of human nature - the more they get the more they want. Why must we suffer James Brayshaw as a cricket commentator; better than serepax? How come Mark Robinson, who never misses a chance to have a go Collingwood, never knew what was happening at his beloved Essendon? The AFL encouraging dobbers? Give it an hour before it’s on twitter. Does the Health Services Union operate a private slush fund? You betcha. Why would anyone live in Melbourne? They keep shoving those Swisse vitamins in my face; what is the big deal?

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Baxter’s McComb bashes a quickfire 144 PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER opener Shane McComb smashed one of the best hundreds seen in MPCA Provincial cricket in some time on Saturday again Ballam Park. Batting for fewer than 30 overs, McComb belted 144 in a blistering knock that saw his team pass Ballam Park at the 20-over mark. While McComb was smashing the bowling at one end, Darren Uccello was holding up the other end, finishing the day unbeaten on 34. When McComb was out to Steven Burns and Leigh Paterson fell cheaply, Todd Quinn came to the crease and belted a quickfire 46. He remains unbeaten at the crease. Baxter finished the day batting 32 overs and will resume at 2/235 on Saturday.

Earlier, Sam Wolsgrove snared five wickets to help the reigning pemier bowl out the Knights for 164 in 43 overs. Anthony Joel top-scored for Ballam Park with 71, while Matty Roach hit 27. Sorrento has plenty of work to do in its match against Heatherhill after the Hills put together a more than respectable 260. Despite Sorrento star all-rounder Anthony Blackwell taking 5/88, the Hills’ top order was impressive, with openers Dean Shaw and Jack Woods putting on 134 for the opening stand. Shaw made 70 and Woods, in only his second Provicial First XI game, compiled 64. Randil Gamage was another new name to the First XI for the Hills and he managed to score 44, highlighting

that there is a bit of depth at the club. Mt Eliza may have only scored 175 in 71.3 overs on Saturday, but is still a good chance to pick up a win against Crib Point. The Mounties have an extremely impressive bowling outfit and can quite easily defend this target. As it is, the Pies needed to face just three overs before stumps and the team lost opener Matty Blake. The Pies will resume this week at 1/8. Earlier, its bowlers were able to do the job on the Mounties. Part-timer Henry Dolphin bowled 19 overs and was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers, snaring 4/23. His spell included 10 maidens. Luke Herrington also led from the front with 3/19. At one stage, the Mounties were

4/45, before Justin Grant (32), Matt O’Brien (33) and Lloyd Gourel-deSaint-Pern (33) resurrected things in the middle order. Long Island’s top order came out firing in its match against Rye at R J Rowley Reserve. Paul Hartle (44), Aaron Paxton (51) and Justin Bridgeman (60) got the Islanders away to a flying start while Michaels Chaplin and Burke also made solid contributions. A score of 8/252 is a good one on Rye’s home deck. Harrison Wilson was the pick of the Rye bowlers with 3/39 off 14 overs and Tommy Barrand picked up 2/38. The Peninsula Old Boys team will need to be at its absolute best with the ball this week to defend 208 against Moorooduc. The Ducs bowled extremely well,

led by Bobby Wilson who helped himself to 3/60, while Greg Pullen and Justin McCleary each snared two wickets. Callum Savio was the best of the POB batsmen with 39, Andrew Parsons scored 38 batting at eight and Wade Pelzer 37. At one stage, POB was in some trouble at 6/100, so 208 didn’t look so bad at the end of play. Mt Martha is in some strife against neighbour Mornington after being restricted to just 154 from 73.2 overs. Chris Holcombe saved the day once again for his side with the bat, scoring 63. Tim Moran (24) was the only other player to score more than 20. Luke Harper was the best of the Doggies’ bowlers with 3/54, while Matt Foon picked up 2/7 from 13 overs.

Hastings tames Langwarrin batting DISTRICT By IT Gully HASTINGS was able to do what no other team has this season in MPCA District cricket – keep Langwarrin under a score of 200. The Blues were at their best with the ball, led by Scott Phillips, who took himself out of cotton wool and decided to test his back. The Blues skipper doesn’t bowl a lot these days, but knew he had little choice against the best batting attack in the competition. His 4/46 from 22.1 overs helped the Blues roll the league leaders for 166 in 74.1 overs. The evergreen Danny Weare held the innings together with 55, while Simon McEvoy was the next best scorer with 24. Luke Hewitt was at his best with the ball also for the Blues, snaring 3/22, and Isuru Dias had an enjoyable afternoon, picking up 2/40 and taking two catches. It was a day for the bowlers in the Baden Powell versus Seaford game, 16 wickets falling on the first day after the Tigers won the toss and elected to bat. Julian Pharaoh, who has played A2 this season and has spent most of his time in the Second XI, was on fire for the Braves on Saturday, taking a career-best 5/10 from nine overs. Anjula Perera and Josh Waldrom collected two wickets each to send Seaford packing for just 78 in 43.3 overs. Chris Cleef top-scored with 26 for the Seaford and Damien Lawrence was the next best with 11. However, the Braves batsmen couldn’t take advantage of the situation and at one stage were 5/44. They recovered to be 6/67 at the end of play. Mike Manders picked up 4/37 from 15 overs and skipper Nathan Volpe bowled nine overs for a return of 2/12. Carrum holds the upper hand in its match against Main Ridge at Ditterich Reserve. Ed Aarons played a lone hand with the bat for Main Ridge after it won the toss and batted. The keeper-batsman top-scored with

82, while Gareth Wyatt hit 26 and Jordon McCulley 24. The next best score was “Extras” with 20. Jackson Fry, Jeremy Graves and Lachlan Dobson each picked up two wickets, while Daniel Polson had a tremendous impact in his 2.4 overs, collecting 3/7. In reply, the Lions are 2/49. Pines has been struggling in recent times but brought its best to the table

on Saturday against Boneo, scoring 9/283. Brett Hudgson top-scored with 89 while Trav Pastuka (58) and Ricky Ramsdale (35) made solid contributions to the score. Craig Williams and Alex Petrovic each picked up two wickets for the visitors. Frankston YCW will be lucky to avoid an outright loss against

Somerville this weekend. Somerville made its intentions well and truly known on Saturday, belting 8/380 in its 75 overs – a massive score. Ben Delaney smacked 81, Sam Delaney creamed 63, Craig Black 43, Keith Burdett 40, Jack Kennedy 39 and Aaron Kaddatz 34 to help the Eagles to the monster total. Adam Muirhead bowled 11 overs for the Stonecats and picked up 3/68,

while Craig Burch took 2/151 from 31 overs. Delacombe Park is in the box seat to beat Flinders after scoring 221. Chris Glendinning top-scored with 58, while Simon Dignan, batting at eight, was the next best for the Parkers with 30. Lou Gillies was the pick of the bowlers for the Sharks with 4/42, while Dwayne Field took 3/77.

End-of-season scramble for top spots SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully WITH just two days left of home and away cricket in MPCA Sub-district for the season, it’s going to be a mad scramble to see who makes the top four. Pearcedale and Rosebud, who went head-to-head on Saturday, are two teams that are nestled in the top bracket. However, only one of them may still be there at the close of play this weekend. As the game sits at the moment, Pearcedale is in serious trouble after being bowled out for 121.

Scott Millar was absolutely sensational for the Budders, bowling a staggering 32 overs and finishing with the impressive figures of 7/49, including 10 maidens. Brian Doughty was the only other wicket-taker for Rosebud with an impressive 3/0 from six overs. Shayne Gillings was the only Pearcedale batsman to offer some resistance with 37. In reply, Rosebud is 2/31, with the dangerous Darren Kerr and Gregg McCann both back in the sheds, courtesy of Justin Heysham, who has 2/17 from five overs. French Island had a day fit for kings on Saturday, scoring 8/386 against

Dromana at Dromana Reserve. Ben King was the master with the bat for the Islanders with 134, while Jacob King fell just short of his century, bowled by David Timmer for 91. Jed Savage was the best of the Dromana bowlers. He opened the attack and collecting 4/120 off 20 overs. Timmer finished with 2/78. Balnarring has already beaten Seaford Tigers, despite only the first day being played. The Tigers won the toss and elected to bat, but were rolled for 88 in just 36 overs. Corey Hand top-scored for the Tigers with 24, while Brad Arnold

bowled 18 overs for Balnarring and snared 6/38. In reply, Balnarring is 3/89, having lost Luke Chapple for 25, Brenton Taylor for 32 and Brendan Saker for 3. Red Hill again failed with the bat on Saturday against Carrum Downs but will still win the game comfortably. The Hillmen managed 162 at Thompson Oval, Nick Esipoff topscoring with 36, and Owen McKillop and Matthew Merifield each getting 31. Ryan Lynch and Ash Worker picked up 3/27 and 3/24 respectively for the Cougars, while Steven Worker and Chamara Perera each claimed two wickets.

Carrum Downs had to face the last 10 overs of the day and lost two wickets. It will resume in early trouble at 2/5. Tootgarook holds the upper hand in its match against Tyabb. Expecting to win the match comfortably, the Yabbies lost the toss and were sent in by the Tooters. Other than skipper Luke Rus, who scored 61, it was a sad afternoon for the Yabbies – rolled for 150. Ashley Rickard was the best of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/24, while Matt Whelan claimed 3/29. In reply, the Tooters are in command at 2/60. Nathan Hudgson has both wickets for the Yabbies.

Good times are here and it’s all systems go ON THE LINE By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro MARCH is around the corner and March and April are the best fishing months. The weather is usually calm and warm and all our target species are available along with a few ring-ins like elephant fish. All sea fishing options are firing – piers, rocks, boat, offshore and surf all produce the goods. Currently Port Phillip and Western Port are all producing whiting and squid in the shallows and in the deeper water there are a few gummy sharks and toothy sharks for those targeting them. Snapper remain quiet with the occasional fish still deciding to bite but to make up for the lack of snapper are some ripping flathead weighing more thna a kilogram coming from both bays. Also both bays and the surf beaches are playing host to some nice schools of Australian salmon and mullet, following these schools are a few sharks and dolphins. The number one tip for late February fishing is to fish for the fish that are about. There is no point in trying to bag a “big red” if the inshore reefs and weed beds are firing on whiting, pinkies and squid. It’s all about making the most of your recreational time. Matthew Hunt of Matthew Hunt fishing services (0419 760 510) landed some great tuna out of Portland on Sunday and a few South

Australian anglers are saying that there are so many tuna heading east it could be the best season in 30 years. Boating tip of the week: After every motor boat outing, flush out the engine. This doesn’t just apply to salt water trips but to fresh water as well. If the lake or river you operate on isn’t as clear as the water from your garden hose, you need to flush. If you run aground and kicked up sand, you need to flush. It won’t take long, two to five minutes, and during that time you can check out some other items. To flush the engine you will need a set of “rabbit ears” (two flexible rubber seals connected with a metal clamp). Simply slip this device on to the

lower unit where the water intake is located and attach a garden hose. Start up the engine and let the water pump do the rest. Be sure to stay clear of the prop and make sure no one tries to shift into gear. Tight lines and calm seas  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fishing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He has boat hire businesses in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fishing writer for magazines and brings his knowledge to MP News Group for season 2012-13.
