Link cameras set to roll PENINSULA Link freeway speed cameras will start operating on Monday 16 September.

Six camera sites have been installed, with two point-to-point cameras and three instantaneous detection cameras in each direction.

Police say a 14-day test of the cameras “caught” more than 7500 speeding motorists. More than 500 motorists were exceeding the speed limit by

15km/h or more and 66 of those drivers would have lost their licences.

Six people driving at 45km/h over the limit would have had their vehicles impounded under anti-hoon laws.

Signs have been placed on Peninsula Link warning motorists that the speed cameras are about to be activated.

Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said it was disappointing that people were still not getting the message

about the dangers of speeding.

“We know that speed is a major factor in about one-third of fatal collisions each year, yet some motorists continue to drive at dangerous speeds, putting the lives of all road users at risk. Low-level speeding can be just as dangerous as high-level speeding, so it is concerning to see about 5000 motorists exceeding the speed limit by less than 10 kilometres an hour,” he said.

“Speeding drivers increase the risk to all road users with the potential for devastating consequences.

“Cameras help to reduce death and road trauma on our roads and are an important part of our overall enforcement approach “This is a reminder to motorists to slow down, pay attention and make sure you are driving within the signed speed limit at all times.”

Drive for members FLINDERS Golf Club has launched a drive for members.

The club is celebrating its 110th anniversary and is staging new events to widen its appeal, including a karaoke night on Friday 13 September, a trivia night on Friday 18 October and a Melbourne Cup lunch.

“There is a new vigour at the club and we are striving to let people know that our doors are open,” secretarymanager Tim Reynolds said.

“The campaign is aimed at those interested in golf as well as those who want to be more involved in the social side.”

Club president Graham Scoffern said the club was a “great venue” for conferences and events.

“We would like to be a destination for golf, conferences, weddings and much more,” he said.

The club opens for lunch on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

“Everyone is welcome; you definitely don’t need to be a member to visit our club,” Mr Scoffen said.

MPs can make decisions, not just promises

By Keith Platt EVERYTHING has changed; nothing has changed. That sums up the federal election result on the firmly tied blue ribbon seats covering the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston.

The two areas are covered by the electorates of Flinders and Dunkley, seats retained (again and as expected) by sitting Liberals Greg Hunt and Bruce Billson.

Both MPs – formerly spokesmen for the environment (Hunt) and small business (Billson) – seem destined to be ministers in the Tony Abbott-led Coalition and will be expected to bring home the benefits that go with that elevated clout.

Both increased their wining margins, Hunt by not as much as Billson, although he was coming off a more comfortable base (nine per cent compared to Billson’s 1.1).

The biggest “sizzle” of their campaigns was left to last on Saturday – sausage sizzles outside polling booths and at primary schools.

The treat would not have been lost on primary schoolers being dragged back to school on the weekend.

Outside the polling booth in Flinders township itself, how-to-vote cards were being handed out by two mates, one Labor and one Liberal.

They discussed being there during past elections and were preparing to share a coffee from a flask brought by the Liberal spruiker when The News was within listening distance.

The only other major discussion at that stage (between 8.30 and 9am) concerned the need of one voter

to shift breeding mares from wet and muddy Flinders paddocks to somewhere near Seymour.

The sausage sizzle barbecue arrived on the back of a trailer, but we never got to find out if it was private enterprise or a fundraiser.

The sizzles at primary schools were unashamedly fundraisers, possibly with a sly dig at politicians who might not want to commit to spending more on education (the Gonski model has been backed by the new government, but only for four years, not the six advocated by Labor).

Hunt too might face pressure over the Coalition’s foreshadowed cuts to

his portfolio (along with overseas aid one of the softer targets of the new government’s “savings”).

On the home front, there will be plenty to contend with over plans to develop the Port of Hastings and the threat of muddying Western Port’s waters with silt from massive dredging; possible oil spills; a tip on Arthurs Seat (primarily a state and local council issue, although Mr Hunt has never shied away from “local” issues); rising sea waters caused by climate change; and developers eyeing off the peninsula’s rural zones and national park.

Billson will be expected to turn

around lacklustre returns from retailers and manufacturers. Both sectors blame globalisation in one form or another: retailers blame the internet; manufacturers cheap labour and cheap imports.

Small business will also be looking for stable political direction, Labor having six small business ministers in six years. In the past three months Mr Hunt has faced two different climate change ministers.

But that is for the future. For now, the Liberals are partying and preparing to take charge of the ship of state of which they lost control in 2007.

Govt orders councils to cut red tape THE state government will cut unnecessary red tape imposed by councils on volunteers who manage community facilities such as public halls and sporting grounds, says Mornington MP David Morris.

The government has issued a “practice note” about special committees set up by councils to manage public facilities such as halls and recreation reserves as well as undertake business promotion campaigns.

Mr Morris said the practice note would set a clear expectation on councils that they should “exempt community volunteers from bureaucratic red tape”.

“The government wants volunteers and other community-minded people not to be burdened by council red tape and hampered by filling out forms when it comes to situations like a simple booking of the local hall or community centre,” he said.

“Councils don’t require personal information such as bank accounts, assets, loans, driving licences or other inappropriate questions regarding volunteer members of halls or community facility committees.

Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell said councils should adopt simplified requirements for members of committees of management of public facilities.

Committees will not have to submit six-monthly private interests returns, she said.

Councils will only require name, address, email and telephone contact details of committee members.

“All special committees must still comply with conflict of interest rules and must not misuse their positions.”

Time for Coalition to deliver net gains

By Chris Brennan FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt will come under intense pressure from his constituents to deliver on the Coalition’s broadband commitments after promising more affordable high-speed internet connection to peninsula homes much sooner and more cheaply than under Labor’s NBN plans.

The election was regularly couched as a referendum on the NBN, with Labor pledging to roll out a fibre optic network delivering data speeds of up to 1000 megabytes a second to every home in Australia by 2021 while the Coalition placed a priority on getting homes on a “reasonable” connection sooner rather than later, especially for regional areas.

Most areas of the Mornington Peninsula have been forced to endure substandard internet access, with services

regularly overwhelmed during the busy summer holiday period when an influx of visitors – many of them young and tech-savvy – increases the permanent populations.

Under Labor’s NBN plan, fibre optic cable is currently being rolled out to Hastings and Tyabb, while connection of Rye, Flinders and Balnarring was due by 2016, and the rest of the region by 2021.

But the program has fallen well behind schedule and is over budget, and questions had been raised as to whether it would ever get to the southern peninsula at all.

The solution for outlying areas of the peninsula according to the Coalition is “wireless technology” .

While the Coalition has pledged not to roll back existing NBN infrastructure and appears likely to honour cur-

rent contracts, the new government has indicated it would look to a “variety of delivery technologies”, most notably satellite, for regional areas.

Mr Hunt said peninsula residents and businesses would be well looked after under “the Coalition’s plan to build a more affordable National Broadband Network and deliver it sooner than Labor’s NBN”.

“Local families, small businesses, schools and hospitals need fast broadband now, not some time after 2021.

Our plan will deliver the NBN sooner, at less cost to taxpayers and more affordably for consumers. We’ll get the NBN back on track,” Mr Hunt said.

He promised the Coalition government would provide all households and businesses access to fast broadband by the end of 2016, with download speeds five times faster than today, utilising

a “mix of technologies” to deliver a “smarter NBN”.

However, Labor slammed the Coalition’s broadband plan, labelling it “fraudband”.

“The Coalition’s ‘fraudband’ can only guarantee speeds that are 40 times slower than Labor’s NBN,” Labor’s Flinders candidate Joshua Sinclair said. “If you want super-fast fibre speeds, you’ll have to pay up to $5000 just to get hooked up.

“Fraudband relies on last century’s copper network and will be obsolete by the time it’s completed.”

Mr Sinclair, who was soundly beaten

by Mr Hunt in Saturday’s poll, said only connection to the NBN’s fibre optic network could deliver the “revolutionary” new technologies of the 21st century.

“The benefits of the NBN are end-

less. It will revolutionise the way we learn, work and communicate. It will mean fewer people in aged care homes, fewer trips to the doctor, and lower overheads for local businesses. Under the Liberals’ plan for an NBN, you get a quarter of the speed for three-quarters the cost. This is simply not cost efficient,” he said.

“If the Liberal Party was rolling out copper wire a century ago, they would’ve argued for a telephone box to be built at the end of every street, asking residents to share the line one at a time. This is essentially what their ‘node’ solution is all about.”

“It is true that you can connect to fibre optic NBN under the Liberal’s plan, but that will cost you $5000. Under Labor’s NBN, you can connect to superfast broadband for free.”

World of small prints at Balnarring AN exhibition of small prints on “leftover” paper by artists from around the world, including the Mornington Peninsula, will open on Saturday at Balnarring.

Leftovers IV – organised by Wingtip Press of the United States – features hand-pulled prints and will be on show at Applestick Contemporary Art in Balnarring.

Karina Armstrong, who runs AppleStick Print Studio where the peninsula prints were made, took part in Leftovers III in 2012 and arranged for Wingtip to hold the exhibition at

her gallery. Participating peninsula artists include Ms Armstrong, Sue Barmos, Kristina Davidson, Fran Henke, Suzy Kepert, Jo Lane, Heather Nye, Sharron Okines and Jade Lee Pavey.

“The smorgasboard of Leftovers IV reflects a rich diversity of printmaking styles and was created by 163 artists from Australia to Arizona, Canada to Colorado, Nevada to New Zealand, Korea to Kansan, Wales to Washington and places in between,” Ms Armstrong said.

“Printmakers always have pieces of

paper over, so the print exchange is a perfect opportunity to turn them to good use.

“The process involved the artists’ editions being sent to Wingtip in Idaho. After being exhibited in Idaho and Wales, participating artists received a selection of prints from other artists.”

The exhibition runs from Saturday 7 September to Sunday 29 September at AppleStick Contemporary Art, 3015 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Balnarring (next door to the CFA).

Chamber’s work ‘lifts’ town profile

Chairs in waiting: Seats outside the Waterfront Cafe in Hastings may soon be unlocked and back in use if Mornington Peninsula Shire accepts a new leasee for the business.

Waterfront cafe to reopen

By Keith Platt COFFEE and cakes should again be available from the Waterfront Cafe near Hastings pier by mid-October.

Hugh Roberts, the real estate broker hired by Mornington Peninsula Shire to find a new tenant for the cafe, said the council would make a decision on Monday this week.

The eight applications received to take over the cafe’s lease had been narrowed down to one for consideration at the council’s Monday 9 September meeting. “They were all experienced opera-

tors and all very, very good,� Mr Roberts said.

He said the council had changed some conditions of the lease “making it easier to operate� the business.

Scott Elks, the previous operator of the cafe, closed the doors and called in receivers in July after being unable to come to a new lease agreement with the shire.

Mr Elks cited health problems and flagging sales as forcing him to leave the business that he had been running since July 2012.

He said repeated pleas to council of-

ficers for a reduction in the more than $8000 a month rent had fallen on deaf ears.

He had “invested� $70,000 in the cafe, “which I don’t expect to get back�. The balance of a $30,000 bond and liquidated assets should cover rent owing as well as staff payouts, Mr Elks said.

He accused council officers of misleading him and wrongly stating that the issue was being brought before councillors. “I feel terrible and am disgusted with the council,� Mr Elks said at the time.

WORKING with and lobbying MPs, Mornington Peninsula Shire, the regional tourism board, police and community groups has enabled Hastings Chamber of Commerce to “lift� the profile of Hastings.

Chamber president Lisa Dixon told the chanber’s annual meeting the town was “seen as having a voice, being professional and no longer a sleepy little hollow�.

Ms Dixon said businesses benefitted “every time Hastings is involved in the media, radio and television. This is putting you on the map and giving you publicity you couldn’t buy�. “Publicity, whether we like it or not, is often a necessary evil as well as a bonus. On nearly every occasion we have managed to turn that publicity around to work for us.�

Ms Dixon said projects involving the chamber included the proposed Port of Hastings expansion, the Otama submarine project and the tourist and visitor information centre, based in Ms Dixon’s Dominion Hill gift shop in Salmon St. As the chamber’s president for the past 12 months Ms Dixon said she had “been dedicated and worked tirelessly on your behalf as your representative. I have endured the media, have engaged various groups to work together – this is unheard of in most other chambers – have engaged the public to be more involved and committed to our local businesses and community, through

forums and speaking out, and encouraged them to report to the various authorities their concerns and complaints�.

Ms Dixon said traders had a responsibility to inform and reassure customers about current affairs “bearing in mind that information should always be accurate, not hearsay or gossip, and forever be uplifting and positive�.

In reference to the fatal stabbing of jeweller Dermot O’Toole during a shop robbery on Friday 12 July, Ms Dixon said everyone should feel “very proud and privileged to belong to a community that has both a heart and a soul�. “This was brought to the forefront recently when we were all faced with a very real tragedy that was both a shock and disbelief that something of this magnitude could happen in our town. “I felt very humble and fragile, however found the strength and courage, with the assistance of family, friends and colleagues that was required to unite and pull together a community that was hurting.�

Chamber coordinator Sarah McLennan reported the chamber was working with police to “curb� graffiti.

Ms Dixon was re-elected chamber president; Pam Ford vice-president; Vic Rodwell treasurer; and Tracey Sigge secretary. The general committee is Alf Tallon, Ken Ingersoll, Lyle Ridout, Toni Munday, Bec Wood, Wally Rachid and Andrew Iredale.

Shire weakens open air burning rules MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council has done a U-turn and will again allow burning off on small blocks without residents having to obtain a permit.

Councillors watered down burning off rules at a meeting late last month.

October will become burning off month as there will be no restrictions.

The council introduced new rules last September removing “as of right” burning off on Fridays and Saturdays for residents on blocks of up to 1500 square metres (about quarter of an acre).

The shire was one of the last in the greater Melbourne area to allow burning off and the new rules were widely praised.

Burning off has divided the peninsula community for many years with many saying a total ban would solve environmental and health concerns.

Pro-burning residents say the high cost of disposing of waste means they should be allowed to burn.

Last June, then-mayor Cr Frank Martin said the proposed burning off changes would “meet the community’s need to reduce the threat of fire and the negative health impact of smoke emissions in our townships”.

“Proposed changes … include restricting open air burning on [small blocks of] land, apart from exceptional circumstances which would require a permit,” Cr Martin said.

The council did not change restrictions on burning off for landowners on large blocks of land.

On 26 August, councillors led by David Gibb and Andrew Dixon voted to allow burning off “on land less than 1500 square metres” on Fridays and Saturdays between 9am and 4pm during October.

“All other relevant provisions contained within the local law to address smoke nuisance and fire safety [will be] adhered to at all times,” the motion read.

Residents will be restricted to “no more than one cubic metre of vegetation … burnt at any one time”.

The shire will develop a “communications strategy” to advise the community.

Councillors have asked for a report “as to whether the no charge [green waste] weekends be extended to the immediate preceding Thursdays and Fridays”.

Island girl rules in Spain PHILLIP Island surfer Nikki Van Dijk, 18, (pictured) has won an international six-star event in Spain.

Van Dijk’s first place in the Pantin Classic Galicia Pro makes her the first Victorian woman to reach the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) top 17 and puts her on the 2014 women’s world championship tour.

She beat Dimity Stoyle, of the Sunshine Coast, at Praia de Pantin in clean four to five foot waves.

Next year she will be surfing against the likes of Queens-

lander Stephanie Gilmore and Hawaii’s Carissa Moore.

“I was so nervous about the whole rankings thing and it’s easy to get caught up in all that,” Van Dijk said.

“The previous event in France was a bit of a speed bump to my goal, but it kind of made me wake up and realise I could do it without worrying too much and just being myself.

The win puts Van Dijk fifth on the overall women’s world rankings.

School bus exception not the rule

By Neil Walker SOME parents who send their children to Mornington Secondary College from Somerville will still be able to access free school bus travel in future, despite funding cuts to free school bus services elsewhere on the peninsula.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess has successfully lobbied his Liberal Party colleague, southern peninsula-based minister for education Martin Dixon, to allow Somerville children newly enrolled at Mornington secondary on to a school bus if an older sibling already uses the service.

A Department of Education and Early Childhood Development policy change last year means schools on the peninsula and elsewhere in Victoria no longer qualify for state government transport funding for students who do not attend the school closest to their home (‘School buses to go’, The News, 3/9/13) with effect from 2014.

State government funding for school transport for students who do not attend the nearest government school is due to end completely in 2018.

Mr Burgess said he had intervened on Somerville parents’ behalf since he strongly opposed the policy being “blindly imposed” on families whose nearest government school was Somerville secondary.

“When many families were making their decision about which school to send their child or children to, Somerville secondary was a years 7 to 10 only and to send them there would have necessitated uprooting them partway through their education to send them to another school,” Mr Burgess said.

Business help THE state government will later this month provide information to help small businesspeople at Hastings.

The Mobile Business Centre will be making its second visit in two years, handing out details about government-run seminars, workshops and programs.

“There is also extensive literature on board about planning, starting and growing a business, with information on everything from registering for taxation to formulating a business plan,” Hastings MP Neale Burgess said.

The mobile centre will be at 34 High St, Hastings (outside Ben Tallon Real Estate) 10am-4pm on Tuesday 24 September.

Mr Burgess said that siblings would be able to join their brothers and sisters on the bus to Mornington secondary if there were seats available.

He said he would continue to work with other Somerville families to determine whether paid transport options could be established for those without children currently catching the bus.

Somerville father-of-two Kris Fawcett said he was pleased with the exception granted to some families in the area. His son was entering year 9 at Mornington secondary next year, with his daughter set to attend as a new year 7 student.

“I’m really happy that Neale Burgess

listened to our concerns and acted quickly to sort something out for our situation, although I know you’re not going to please everyone all the time,” Mr Fawcett said.

Parents had been frustrated as the changes had been “poorly communicated” by the state government and schools were reluctant to “get involved” when a cost-cutting decision had been made by the Department of Education.

Mr Burgess told The News he encouraged families to enrol their children at their nearest local school because “they’re good schools”, but acknowledged the circumstances at Somerville were “unique” since the

nearest state school had not offered a year 11 and 12 curriculum at the time many parents decided to send their children to Mornington secondary.

Somerville secondary was built in 2009 but initially only offered classes for years 7 to 10. Year 11 and 12 classes were introduced in 2012.

When asked whether he would lobby for an exception on behalf of parents who lived elsewhere in the Western Port area, Mr Burgess said he had not been directly approached by any parents outside the Somerville area about the issue, but would not like to see a situation where “a bus travelled across the peninsula with empty seats”.

PENINSULA pet lovers will be champing at the bit when the shire’s popular pet expo returns after a two-year wait and with a new name – Peninsula Pet Expo, with the previous “pony” reference having been dropped.

A MAG world for motorbike riders

By Chris Brennan THE peninsula’s Motorcycle Action Group is ready to hit the road in style after receiving a $7000 trailer that will help spread its message of the need for more safe, legal riding opportunities for young people.

The motorbike trailer was donated to the group last week through the efforts of organisations including Rosebud Lionesses Club, Blue Light Motorcycle Club, Hastings’ Blue Light Disco, Somerville’s Transmend Floats and Trailers, and Signforce.

It will be used to carry educational display material and the group’s collection of “dodgy” impounded minibikes to schools and other events to help spread the message of responsible riding.

MAG is a voluntary organisation staffed by members of Hastings police and Mornington Pensinsula Shire and takes a proactive approach to motorbike safety among young people.

“We understand that youth are going to ride motorcycles so we’ve tried to follow a harm minimisation approach,” MAG president and shire ranger Scott Morone said.

“Knowing that young people will ride motorcycles, we encourage them think about safety and we promote our approach of ‘right gear, right bike, right place’.

“The group started about five years ago when the number of young people hooning around on motorbikes was a significant problem, particularly in the Western Port area, and we saw there

was a need for some sort of deterrent activity rather than just taking a lawenforcement approach.”

MAG’s three precepts aim to ensure that “if you ride a motorbike, you do so safely and legally”, according to its official information flyers.

“This means riding a bike that is the right size and in good, safe condition.

It also means wearing a helmet and protective clothing every time you ride, and making sure you always ride in safe, supervised locations such as the Hastings Blue Light Motorcycle track at the BlueScope Recreational Centre on Denham Rd, Hastings, or on your own land, providing you get a permit from the shire council first.”

Mr Morone said landowners could obtain a local law permit from the shire council for a one-off fee of $50 that enabled recreational use of motorbikes on private property.

“We’re trying to not only educate kids but also parents and the wider community that there’s a right place to ride, such as the the Blue Light Motorcycle Club, but people can also go to the shire and get a permit to do motorbike riding on their own land,” he said.

“That’s a requirement no matter what the size of the land is, with the only exception being when the riding is done for agricultural purposes.

“This isn’t a revenue raising exercise but a matter of safety. We figure that by having people apply for the correct permit, they’ll hopefully be more aware of safety issues and provide the appropriate supervision.”

Recently retired Blue Light Motorcycle Club president Phillip Adams said he was happy to help out a fellow organisation trying to minimise the dangers faced by young people riding motorbikes.

“The poor buggers have been trying to cart around all that equipment in the back of their vehicles for years,” he said. “I’ve been the president of the Blue Light Motorcycle Club for 12

years until just a couple of weeks ago so we’ve dealt with the MAG group many times at events such as the Western Port Festival and we were really keen to help them out.

“Anything that helps the kids in our community is a step forward. We have to stop them riding on the railway line and doing other dangerous acts.

“That was what the establishment of Blue Light was all about as well – giv-

ing the kids in Hastings somewhere safe to ride.

“The bikes are so cheap these days because they’re coming in from China and the kids are out there tearing around and running riot.

“We know they’re going to ride bikes, so we need to take the proactive approach and make sure they’re doing safety at an appropriate location away from the railway line.”

Safety blitz on peninsula farms

By Chris Brennan WORKPLACE safety inspectors have inspected farms across the peninsula as part of a 12-month campaign targeting the most common causes of injuries and fatalities in agricultural workplaces.

Dozens or peninsula producers were visited by WorkSafe inspectors during the statewide crackdown, with unsafe machinery emerging as the most common area of concern.

Across Victoria, more than 460 farms were found to be in breach of safety rules during the year-long blitz, which concluded on 30 June.

Inspectors issued 375 improvement notices for problems be fixed, while a further 64 breaches were dealt with on the spot by employers.

WorkSafe’s Ian Matthews said machinery remained a major concern, especially on the peninsula where undulating terrain compounded risks.

Almost 30 per cent of the 375 notices issued to agricultural employers related to machinery, and of those, almost half involved equipment with poor safety guards, he said.

“We’ve found that one of the biggest safety problems on farms generally is machinery and attachments that are used for the wrong purpose, poorly maintained or inadequately guarded,” Mr Matthews said.

“As the weather warms up, activity on farms will be increasing. Springtime and harvest season is a busy time for farms across the Mornington Peninsula, in particular for vegetable growers and vineyards.

“Undulating land and hills in the area pose an additional risk to tractors and vehicles, particularly during rain when slopes are slippery. Farmers should be cautious about risks of vehicles rolling over or freewheeling.

“Now is a good time to undertake all vehicle and machinery maintenance and servicing, before things get too busy.

“Over the coming months, we’ll continue farm visits across the region, and our message to farmers is not to cut corners on safety this spring.”

Other safety problems identified during the campaign included poor ladder access to silos; slips, trips and fall hazards; a lack of personal protective equipment; and failure to have a chemical register and Material Safety Data Sheets that provide safe storage and handling advice.

Of the nine fatalities on Victorian farms over the same period, seven involved machinery and two involved handling of animals.

“The cost and impact an injury or fatality has on the individual, the family business and the community, particularly in country areas, is immense,” Ms Cosgrove said.

“We know that 1000 serious injury claims are only the tip of the iceberg as many farmers operate hobby farms or are self-employed and do not fall within the workers’ compensation system.

“But regardless of the type of farm involved, systems need to be reviewed, machinery should be rechecked and safety equipment – such as rollover protection, seat belts and guarding – used or installed. Most importantly of all, don’t rush or take shortcuts.

“The issues our inspectors found all have very basic solutions often at little to no cost. Sometimes just taking the time to think through a hazard could make a huge difference.”

Ms Cosgrove said inspectors would continue to focus on livestock farming, dangerous machinery, animal handling practices and unsafe manual handling over the next 12 months.”

Mental health review

By Chris Brennan THE effectiveness of mental health programs on the Mornington Peninsula will be reassessed to ensure services are properly targeted toward the needs of patients, Flinders MP Greg Hunt said last week.

The Coalition government will also establish an $18 million National Centre for Excellence in Youth Mental Health and support for the expansion of youth mental health foundation Headspace.

The Coalition’s commitment to the National Centre for Excellence in Youth Mental Health would undertake “cutting edge clinical trials� to find new treatments for mental illness in young people, invest in new research to identify ways to reduce deliberate self-harm and suicide and provide training, career support and information resources for up to 12,000 mental health clinicians and service planners by 2020.

The centre would also work with Headspace, Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centres and e-mental health services to identify new forms of intervention to treat young people suffering mental health issues.

Mr Hunt said youth mental health was a growing issue in the Flinders electorate, as well as across Australia and would be a key focus of a Coalition government.

He said about 300 people – including students, teachers and parents – attended a youth mental health forum he had organised at Dromana Secondary College earlier this month.

The forum heard about the importance of early intervention in mental health issues from former Australian of the Year and youth mental health

advocate Professor Patrick McGorry, and also heard presentations from Headspace, Peninsula Pride, Victoria Police and Mornington Peninsula Shire about the need for better targeted help for young people. “The overwhelming message to come from the forum was that help is available to our young people and the earlier they seek help, the better,�

Mr Hunt said. “Seventy-five per cent of all mental illness manifests itself in people under the age of 25 and one in three young people experience moderate to high levels of psychological distress at some point. Suicide is the leading cause of death for young Australians aged 15 to 24.�

The Coalition would support the expansion of Headspace to 100 centres nationwide, Mr Hunt said. This was “an important initiative established by the previous Coalition government when Tony Abbott was the minister for health�.

Mr Hunt said young people were increasingly seeking advice and help online about mental health issues. “Finding the right help is not easy, so the Coalition will provide the Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre with $5 million to establish a comprehensive new e-mental health platform that will make it easier for young people to get the help they need and to manage their treatment. “This investment will help bring together a wide range of existing services into one platform.

The Coalition will also task the National Mental Health Commission to assess the effectiveness of all existing mental health programs across both government and the non-government sectors.�

LETTER Schools for all TO read the article “School buses to go� (The News, 3/9/13) you could be left with the impression that no buses will be available for students in the Western Port region to travel to school.

This is completely incorrect. To understand the situation fully, a brief look at the history of the school bus services is required.

Once upon a time, secondary school options for students living on the east of the peninsula, from Somerville to Balnarring and west of these areas, were limited to attending school in Frankston or Mornington. Thus, bus services were essential for these students.

However as new secondary schools were built in Dromana, Hastings and recently Somerville, little rationalisation of the existing bus services was done. This meant that even though local students now had access to local secondary schools, they were also able to retain free travel to schools such as Mornington, even though they chose not to enrol in their closest government school.

If their closest school was in walking distance of where they lived, families on the east of the peninsula have had the enviable choice of having free travel available to more government schools than students living on the Port Phillip side. This is unfair, and has been to the detriment

of local secondary schools, which have not had reciprocal opportunity to attract students from as far afield.

The article also makes a confusing statement about the eligibility of students to obtain bus travel. The fact is, where students choose to enrol in their closest school, they are entitled to free travel on a bus, provided that they live 4.8 kilometres or greater from that school. If they live closer than this, then in limited situations arrangements can be made to utilise the bus service. The continuity of bus services to each school is not in doubt.

The changes to the bus services are minor, although disruptive to a small number of families, and they seek only to rationalise and reduce overlap of services that are no longer justified.

These changes are decades overdue.

No choices have been taken away, only Frankston High School is a zoned school, so people are still free to attend the government secondary school of their choice. Private school families pay for their bus services.

We welcomed new schools being built to service our local communities, so it is a bit rich to complain of unfairness when one chooses not to educate children in their local community, and anyway, differences in curriculum at government schools are actually very minor.

Esso earmarks $150m for gas plant

By Mike Hast ESSO will spend $150 million on its Long Island Point fractionation plant near Hastings to take the facility to its “next stage of life”, says plant manager Steve Williams.

The money will be spent on maintenance and rebuilding including upgrading two of three gas fractionation “trains” that produce ethane, propane and butane as well as installing a system to remove mercury from water in Bass Strait gas and oil.

Mr Williams outlined the program at the company’s annual community and stakeholder dinner in Hastings last week.

It was attended by about 60 people from organisations such as Mornington Peninsula Shire, schools, Victoria Police, CFA, SES, health services, community houses, Western Port Chamber of Commerce, Western Port Festival, Western Port Biosphere and Western Port Catchment Committee.

“We are looking at quite a long future for gas processing,” he said.

The plant could operate for 20, 30 or 40 more years.

“We’re here for the long term and will be investing money to keep going.

We want to keep the plant in best condition for future generations,” he said.

The system to remove mercury out of liquids coming from Esso’s new Kipper field in Bass Strait will include a water tank, pumping and injection system, pipes, and a rainwater collection system to separate rainwater from so-called “produced formation water” that comes with the gas and oil.

It will be built in the tank farm area.

Mercury in the produced formation water will be injected into crude oil where any remaining mercury will be removed by refineries, Mr Williams said.

He said the proposed works would not increase noise, air or water emissions; generate additional waste; or increase water and energy consumption.

Water discharged from Esso’s water treatment plant would continue to be done in accordance with the Environment Protection Authority’s licence to discharge.

Mr Williams said extra construction traffic was “not expected to be significant”.

Construction would start in mid2014 and take about a year.

Esso will this month start a “longterm crude storage tank refurbishment program”.

Mr Williams said the green coloured crude oil tanks at LIP that supply oil to Esso’s Altona refinery needed to be “serviced” and there would be “significant expenditure” over the next 10 plus years.

He said there would be extra traffic on roads surrounding the storage tank farm. A portable village for field work would be built.

Esso is a subsidiary of ExxonMobil Australia and its recently appointed chairman, Australian Richard Owen, told dinner guests the company had been producing gas and oil from Bass Strait for 44 years.

Mr Owen started working for Esso at Longford in Gippsland 30 years ago.

Shire backdown over tip sign-napping

By Mike Hast AN overzealous ranger who removed “anti-tip” signs from roadsides in Arthurs Seat, Red Hill and Dromana on Saturday 31 August has forced Mornington Peninsula Shire to issue a public apology.

The shire posted a statement on its website on Sunday last week after receiving complaints from Peninsula Preservation Group members and other anti-tip sign owners.

Shire officers delivered the signs to a PPG member’s home the day after they were removed.

The statement said rangers would return a number of “no tip” protest signs “that were mistakenly impounded on Saturday”.

Claire Smith, the shire’s manager of environment protection and community safety, said signs had been removed from “the road reserve in Arthurs Seat and Red Hill”.

The News understands signs were also removed from outside properties in Boundary Rd, Dromana.

A number of signs were inappropriately placed on VicRoads directional signs, Ms Smith said.

“Council respects people’s right to protest peacefully but needs to ensure that signs do not impact unduly on public safety.

“Over the past few months, our officers have been negotiating with residents who have erected signs in inappropriate and unsafe locations to relocate them onto their properties.

“In this instance, however, some of the signs were removed in error. All the signs will be returned.”

The shire’s communications manager Todd Trimble said signs obscuring pedestrian or driver’s sight lines had been removed. Others attached to directional and tourism signs had been taken as well.

He said the shire had received complaints from owners of vineyards and restaurants.

Mr Trimble dismissed a conspiracy theory that the shire had removed the signs because it was embarrassed by the anti-tip movement and the first warm weekend in months would see thousands of visitors arriving on the peninsula.

Dog beach ban, signs to come

By Mike Hast NEW dog walking restrictions in Mornington Peninsula National Park were introduced on Sunday 1 September but Parks Victoria had not yet erected any new signs.

Parks Victoria agreed to ban dogs from certain parts of peninsula back beaches in early June after years of lobbying by conservationists and bird groups such as BirdLife Australia.

Last summer, just nine endangered hooded plovers survived the breeding season on the national park’s beaches, the highest for some years but a small percentage of total eggs hatched.

Parks Victoria figures revealed 113 eggs laid, 19 chicks hatch and 9 reach fledgling (flying) stage.

Just three survived the previous season, which is when calls to ban dogs from plover nesting beaches reached a crescendo.

There are 32 fauna species listed as endangered, vulnerable or near threatened living in Mornington Peninsula National Park.

According to Friends of the Hooded Plover, a failure rate of 98 per cent is not unusual on park beaches.

Friends president Diane Lewis said a total ban on dogs was necessary to ensure the protection of the birds.

“The state government has recognised that for the past 20 years, dogs are a main threat to the survival of the hooded plover and other rare fauna on the Mornington Peninsula, so a total dog ban is vital,” she said.

“Despite our concerted conservation and awareness raising efforts on the peninsula, we know that off-leash dogs are still limiting the plover’s ability to breed in the national park.

“Residents and visitors continue to walk their dogs off-leash in the park during all hours of the day despite restrictions.

“Dogs are a huge threat to the birds. We

have observed 78.9 per cent of dogs off-leash within the park.

Plover defender Malcolm Brown said dogwalkers should be asked to justify why dogs should be allowed on plover beaches rather than conservationists being asked why not.

Grainne Maguire of BirdLife Australia said statistics showed that 40 per cent of hooded plover pairs in dog-free areas produced chicks successfully, compared to 16 per cent of pairs in dog access areas in the park.

“This has been the pattern historically and we desperately need to change this,” Dr Maguire said.

The peninsula was the most important site for the threatened hooded plover with about 550 birds in all Victoria. It had a substantial dune system, which provided an excellent breeding habitat.

“The peninsula’s national park has the lowest breeding success rate of any area in southern Australia. Less than seven per cent of eggs survive to become chicks of flying age.

Plovers start hatching around Melbourne Cup weekend and the last chicks fledge in late March.

Parks Victoria ranger-in-charge Kris Rowe said the changes had been made following public consultation and were “an important step in helping to protect the endangered hooded plover and other vulnerable species and their breeding habitats”.

Very few national parks in Victoria allow dogs. They are permitted in the peninsula’s national park due to a historical anomaly.

The area was controlled by the old Shire of Flinders before being declared a national park in 1988 but dog walking continued to be permitted.

Point Nepean National Park was renamed Mornington Peninsula National Park in 1995.

Parks Victoria says new restrictions apply in areas of the park adjacent to rural areas and/or

areas with minimal public access to beaches.

The areas include London Bridge to Sorrento Ocean Beach (excluding the Portsea Surf Beach visitor site), a section of Rye Ocean Beach, a section of St Andrews Beach, Gunnamatta and part of the Flinders coastline.

Mr Rowe said the hooded plover population in the park was one of the largest in Victoria but had “a lower level of breeding success compared to those in other Victorian coastal areas and is quite vulnerable to the presence of dogs”.

“We will be installing new signs and advertising the new restrictions to maximise awareness among the community and help everyone understand the changes, which include:  Dogs are prohibited at all times in an additional seven kilometres of coastline between Portsea and Flinders.  Dog walking will continue to be permitted on-lead between sunrise and 9am only, in selected and sign-posted sections of the national park including:  14km of coast between Sorrento and Rye and additional defined areas at:  Portsea Surf Beach.  St Andrews Beach.  Flinders Ocean Beach.

“Alternative areas for dog walking on the southern peninsula include Port Phillip beaches and public reserves managed by the Mornington Peninsula Shire.”

Mr Rowe said penalties for non-compliance would be enforced.

Surf ’s up for road group THE Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association will feature in the RACV’s next annual report and on YouTube.

The motoring organisation sent a photographer and journalist to Point Leo on Saturday 31 July to record a demonstration of how teams of DSA member provides a surfing experience to people with disabilities.

The motoring group donated $8400 to the branch for two wide-tyred wheelchairs that are used to carry participants to and from the beach.

Jenny Angliss-Goodall, of Mornington, volunteered to show how a disabled person can safely enjoy time in the surf and also talk about her experiences on camera for the YouTube video.

While on the surfboard, Ms AnglissGoodall was able to sit upright on a modified Aqua Duck beanbag.

The direct selling company Amway has given $5200 for more of the modified beanbags to be provided to other DSA branches.

Keith Platt

Noted: Frankston High School Senior Stage Band will again play with jazz trumpeter James Morrison at a Proudly Frankston event.

High’s musicians to play with jazz great

Surfing safely: Jenny Angliss-Goodall is filmed by Rodney Dekker surrounded by members of the Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch – John Rodgers, Fran Bainbridge, Joe Lemmon, Matt Drysdale, Gary Miller, Joe Hart, John Bowers, Ann Cairns, Steve Hough and Janine Hart (holding Jenny’s dog Dudley).

TWO Frankston bands will perform alongside jazz great James Morrison when he headlines at Proudly Frankston’s Long Lazy Lunch on Frankston Oval.

Frankston High’s Senior Stage Band and the school’s Alumni Superband will play before an anticipated audience of about 500 being wined and dined on the football ground on Sunday 17 November.

The stage band, one of 11 performing ensembles at the school, has appeared with Morrison before and

the iconic trumpeter said he is looking forward to again meeting up with the musicians.

This year the stage band has played at Yarra’s Edge Jazz Festival, the Mt Gambier National Stage Bands Championships, the “Release The Best “ event and numerous school events and functions.

Frankston Superband includes the best young talent emerging from the bayside city, all of whom are forging careers in music. The band brings together musicians now living and

working interstate and overseas.

The Long Lazy Lunch, a Tuscanstyle spread, will raise money for Frankston Homeless Support, Menzies Caring for Kids, Peninsula Home Hospice, Peninsula Health and Frankston Dolphins.

Tickets are available through Proudlyfrankston.com.au and organisers are encouraging businesses and groups of friends to book tables of 10. Early bird booking specials will be available until the end of the month.

Little bit of country

Best of both worlds

IF you are looking for that little slice of the country, this quaint holding could be the answer. Held by the same family for thirty years, the property is relatively flat and the one hectare lot has been fenced into three paddocks. The neat four-bedroom brick-veneer home provides comfortable living that covers all the basics, with an open-plan kitchen and family area, separate lounge with wood heater, and two bathrooms. Set behind the home is an undercover patio area, and paved areas run along the front and back of the house.

There are several outbuildings dotted around the property, including a double carport, large workshop and wood shed.

NESTLED away behind a picket fence and positioned on a serene 2024 square metre block, this charming and very private home is full of great character that’s sure to impress. There are three bedrooms, including a main with ensuite and walk-in robe. Two sunny living areas are perfect for day-to-day living and the high ceilings and polished floorboards are in keeping with the overall style of the home. The block has a great variety of established trees and shrubs that will keep a green thumb busy. For the handyperson there’s a large workshop that’s great for tinkering. Offering an idyllic lifestyle with relaxed country feel, the home is less than eight minutes to either Hastings or Bittern and a short walk to local shops.

HISTORY

Curious case of disappearing doctor IN November 1888, Dr Charles William Rohner MD opened his practice in Hastings, the town’s first doctor.

On 9 January 1890, he disappeared without trace. At the time there were several theories about his fate but the mystery remains unsolved.

Part 1 *** Who was Dr Rohner?

Charles William Rohner was born in Austria on 14 December 1832, the son of Johann Martin Rohner and Anna Maria (nee Gmeiner). He studied medicine at the University of Prague, graduating in 1858. Dr Rohner then travelled to England where he boarded the Queen of the East in 1859 as an unassisted immigrant bound for Australia.

Where did he practise?

Dr Rohner appears to have headed to northeast Victoria on his arrival, as the following advertisement started to appear regularly in the Ovens and Murray Advertiser from October 1859: “Dr Rohner, surgeon and accoucheur, has succeeded to the practice, and taken the residence of, Dr Muller, Stanley, where he may be consulted daily.”

By 1862, Dr Rohner had shifted his practice to Chiltern and on 20 May of that year, he married Margaret Emmeline Edmonds in Albury. The Rohners had eight children, most of whom were born in Chiltern. Although his somewhat eccentric behaviour and beliefs earned him the scorn of some locals and the press, Dr Rohner was none-the-less given a public farewell at the time of his departure in 1876.

In fact, the following paragraph appeared in The Argus: “Chiltern. Dr Rohner, who is leaving the district after a residence of 17 years, was entertained at a banquet at the Star Hotel today. An illuminated address, handsomely framed, was presented to him. About 40 gentlemen were present. Mr B J Bartley, president of the shire council, presided.”

(It could be said that the doctor left his mark on the town as there is still a Rohner Street in Chiltern) Although it was stated that Dr Rohner’s term was 17 years, this would have included his time in Stanley. It would also have included a period in New Zealand around 1865. It is unclear as to the purpose of his visit (work or vacation?) or how long he spent there. However The Argus of 21 January 1865 reported: The Constitution of Wednesday says: “Concerning the moa, Dr Rohner, who a day or two ago arrived in Chiltern from New Zealand, says out of a large quantity of bones transmitted some months ago to some celebrity in Frankfurt, two complete skeletons were set up....”

So among his other areas of expertise, the good doctor also purported to be an expert on an extinct flightless bird from across the Tasman!

From Chiltern, Dr Rohner moved to Hamilton and while there he attended an accident involving the wife of Alfred Tennyson Dickens (son of Charles). Mrs Dickens was killed when thrown from her carriage after the horses bolted (Hamilton Spectator 14 December 1878). His departure from Hamilton was apparently quite amicable for on 25 January 1879, the local paper carried the following item: “Presentation to Dr Rohner. Yesterday morning, about twenty members of the Hamilton Chess Club and friends of Dr Rohner assembled at the Victoria Hotel to take farewell of

PAGE 44

him... In handing over the gift (three handsomely bound volumes of the History of England accompanied by a splendid portrait of Her Majesty) Mr Laidlaw complimented Dr Rohner, if not actually as founder of the club, at all events as a gentleman who had done more than any other to promote the interests of chess in the district...”

This ability at chess was apparently passed on to his second son, William Aberlard, for on the 1 February 1879, the Williamstown Chronicle had a story about 12-year-old Willie Rohner whom it described as a “chess prodigy and composer”. The article goes on to say: “His father, the worthy and genial Dr Rohner, also favoured our president (ie of Williamstown Chess Club) with some lively skirmishes over the checkered board before his departure for Bright.”

The next decade or so of Dr Rohner’s life appears to be unsettled for from Bright, he moved to Benalla, returning to Chiltern for a second term in 1880.

On 27 May 1884, the North East Ensign reported that Dr Rohner had revived the wife of a cabman in Tungamah who had taken poison by mistake. Then on 13 January 1885, the Ensign stated: “Dr Rohner, well known in Benalla,

Western Port News 10 September 2013

currently residing in Tungamah, has been appointed health officer to the Yarrawonga Shire Council.”

The Tungamah stay must have been short for the South Bourke and Mornington Journal on 3 August 1887 reported that an item in the minutes of the Phillip Island Shire Council stated that “Dr Rohner MD reported a case of diptheria at Griffiths Point”. However, by November 1888, the first of his regular advertisements appeared in the above-mentioned newspaper stating: “Dr C W Rohner MD has commenced the practice of his profession in Hastings, and may be consulted at his own residence, Mistress Rennie’s, opposite Prosser’s Store.”

The departure from Phillip Island was full of rancour and, in 1889, the Journal published Dr Rohner’s letter to the council lamenting the nonpayment of “...the debt of 100 pounds which these good and honest Christians owe me for work and labour done for them and the public without fee or reward...”

Dr Rohner stated that: “The councillors are just about as fit to act in the capacity of a local board of health as they are unfit to keep a pigstye clean.” For an advocate of spiritualism, he was not beyond turning to the

Bible for some support: “I call upon the holy spirit of Moses to proclaim the eleventh commandment of his hitherto defective catalogue, saying unto the children of the earth-from thundering and spitfire Mt Sinai: ‘Man. Thou shalt be fair and just in thy dealings with thy brother’.”

What sort of person was Dr Rohner?

The tone of his correspondence suggests a degree of volatility in his temperament. The word “eccentric” appears regularly in the newspapers and, the public send-off notwithstanding, he ruffled plenty of feathers.

Three issues that gained him more than a little publicity were: 1. The skull of John McCallum.

This drama was reported in The Argus on 9 January 1871, and then again three days later: “Strange Conduct of a Coroner.

Dr Rohner, deputy coroner, wrote to the Ovens Advertiser referring to a document read out at a recent meeting of the Indigo Road Board, calling attention to the appropriation by the deputy coroner of the skull of the late John McCallum, formerly a member of that board, and who died some time back in the Chiltern lockup.

“The document was signed by the widow of the deceased, Margaret

McCallum, and is said to have contained some exaggerated statements, amongst others to the effect that the skull referred to had been exhibited by the coroner in several places as a curiosity. Nettled by these accusations, Dr Rohner had replied and... in a most ungentlemanlike manner, he endeavoured to insult and wound the feelings of Mrs McCallum. The facts of the case are said to be that Dr Rohner retained a piece of the late Mr McCallum’s skull, not the whole skull, as stated in the letter to the Indigo Board, which he exhibited on various occasions to a few of his friends.”

The Argus 12 January 1871: “Another extraordinary letter from Dr Rohner, deputy coroner of Chiltern, appears in the Federal Standard on the subject of the skull of the man McCallum. It is headed ‘Numbskulls and other Skulls’ and contains the writer’s reply to a recent letter written

by Mr Herman Ruppin.

“The following is a specimen of the doctor’s controversial style: ‘What I mean to stamp as a deliberate and bare-faced falsehood is his (Mr Ruppin’s) assertion that I showed him the bone in question before Mr John McCallum’s funeral... After this, never trust a Jew. They are bound to have their pound of flesh, however little they may care about bones’.”

The excuse that he only exhibited a portion of Mr McCallum’s skull did not impress the Indigo Road Board, particularly as at one time Mr McCallum had been a colleague. Within days the matter was mentioned in parliament and on 4 March 1871, The Argus reported: “Dr Rohner’s removal from the commission of the peace and the office of deputy coroner is gazetted.”

(Footnote: According to local folk lore, Dr Rohner kept a skull on one corner of his desk while he was in practice in Chiltern. Did Mr McCallum become a permanent exhibit?)

2. His advocacy of spiritualism.

Dr Rohner would have been loved by journalists at The Argus for he always seemed to be good for a story.

This item appeared in that paper on 28 October 1871 when the skull story was fresh in everyone’s mind (if it doesn’t make sense, please do not contact the Western Port News for an explanation): “The eccentric Dr Rohner of Chiltern is still lecturing on the subjects of spiritualism and magic. At a recent lecture he mentioned that... as a statistical curiosity, that to the best of his knowledge there was not at present a single scientific magician in Australia, only a few in America and England, but there was a great number in France and Germany, in which latter countries the science of ‘Haute Magic’ was always considered the keystone of the education of a thorough philosopher.

“The doctor took the opportunity to state that he was authorized by the brotherhood to which he belonged to introduce new members to their society, the leading principles of which were light, intelligence, progress, love and wisdom, linked together with moral rectitude, genius, harmony and beauty.

“The following caution to spiritists,” says the Ovens Advertiser, concluded one of the most remarkable lectures ever delivered in Chiltern, if not the colony: ‘Yes, spiritists, the spirits which speak to you in the tables are the spirits of your blood.

You fatigue and exhaust yourselves only to put your own soul into the wood of your furniture, like those

priests of Mexico who thought they were giving a soul to their idols by daubing them over the smoking blood of human victims. What you are doing now was done long before the birth of Christ; it was done and is still done in India; it is, moreover, done amongst the savages, where the jungles form a circle round the altar of their gods with ghastly heads, the hair of which is dripping with blood, and you only magnetise your furniture by impoverishing your brain as well as your heart. Why would you be in such a hurry to see the spirits of your departed friends; surely you will see them soon enough when your proper time to see them has come, without degrading your faculties to the lowest degree of madness. Believe me, it is a false religious sentiment to build your arguments for the immortality of the soul upon the spurious facts of spiritualism.’”

Although all of this may appear to be incomprehensible, Dr Rohner’s contribution to the concept was widely known for on 26 August 1884 The South Australian Register, under the heading ‘The Freethought Battle’, quotes Dr Rohner “...who has made a careful investigation of spiritual phenomena”.

Whether or not it was linked with his views on spiritualism is not

known, but Dr Rohner frequently warned of the dangers of “animal magnetism which can produce sleep, insensibility...even death”. (The Argus, 14 September 1871) How all of this was received by the ordinary man in the street in Chiltern can only be guessed at. No doubt a few heads were shaken vigorously.

He seemed to be involved in a number of the so-called ‘friendly societies of the North East’ and as late as 30 March 1883, the North East Ensign announced: “Dr C W Rohner has been appointed Medical Officer of the Benalla Lodge of Oddfellows.”

A few years earlier The Argus carried a few lines that suggested Dr Rohner’s relationship with the societies was not always friendly: “MEDICAL- In reference to an advertisement that lately appeared in The Argus inviting ‘Applications from medical gentlemen to attend the united societies at Wandiligong’, the following has already appeared in the Ovens and Murray Advertiser: AOF Court Little John No. 4001.

“The members of the above court at Bright, Wandiligong and the surrounding district generally are hereby notified that, notwithstanding the advertisement from the united societies at Wandiligong, Dr C W Rohner still continues to occupy the position of

court surgeon. (The Argus, 8 August 1879.

3.Opposition to small pox vaccination.

This also caused some friction with authorities and his views were widely known. An article on small pox vaccination which appeared in The Hobart Mercury on 5 September 1881 mentioned that Dr Rohner of Victoria was “a most determined opponent”.

Be this as it may, a month later Dr Rohner was shown in an unfavourable light by Sir Bryan O’Loughlin in the budget debate: “While it is necessary to be prepared for an outbreak of small pox, no possible good can come from raising false alarms. We have had several of these already.

“Dr Rohner of Benalla, for example, reported two cases of supposed small pox, which proved, upon investigation, to be nothing of the kind. This misdirected zeal caused a good deal of alarm in the district and much personal inconvenience...

In view of the needless trouble and alarm occasioned by the Benalla episode, Inspector Montfort has suggested to the Central Board of Health that Dr Rohner be requested to report in future to the local police any suspicious cases that may come under his notice...” (The Argus, 6 October 1881)

What was Dr Rohner’s state of mind when he arrived in Hastings?

Looking at the events that occurred after 1876 when he was given the public farewell following his first term in Chiltern, it would be reasonable to suggest that Dr Rohner’s life was unsettled; he had shifted his practice a number of times and his departure from Phillip Island had been unpleasant. Furthermore, the unexpected death of his eldest son undoubtedly took its toll. This tragedy was reported in the Euroa Advertiser on 17 May 1889: “We are sorry to chronicle the death of Mr Charles Rohner which took place at Shepparton on Sunday last, from typhoid fever. Mr Rohner, who was the son of Dr C W Rohner, for many years a resident of this town, was well known in Benalla, where his mother still resides. He was up at Benalla on Monday with the Shepparton

Fire Brigade, taking part in the Fire Brigade Demonstration. The news of his death caused a widespread feeling of regret.”

When did the doctor disappear?

The Victorian Police Gazette of 15 January 1890 contained the following missing person notice: “Enquiry is requested for Charles Henry (sic) Rohner who is missing from his home, Hastings, since 9th instant.

Description: Austrian, medical man, slightly foreign accent, 58 years of age, 6 feet 1 inch high, stout build, erect gait, dark hair turning grey, grey beard, whiskers and moustache, wore grey tweed sac-suit, brown tweed hat and lace-up boots. Well-known in the North-Eastern district. Fears are entertained for his safety as he was in a melancholy state of mind prior to his disappearance.-14th January, 1890.”

Convention in their own land in March 1914.

In Sydney, where the Convention is to be held, great preparations are in progress. Prominent preachers and speakers from England and America as well as visitors from almost all parts of the world are expected.

Christian Endeavourers and friends all over Australasia are making arrangements to attend these gatherings in Sydney. The Victorian C.E. Union is busy making arrangements for the State Convention which is to be held in Melbourne from October 8th to 13th inclusive. The programme, which promises to be some of the best

of its kind, has been adopted. Subjects of vital interest to the C.E. movement are to be considered. It is anticipated that a large number of delegates from all parts of the State will attend. *** A MEETING of the Beachdale Progress Association was held at Mrs Latimer’s store on the 6th inst, when there was a large attendance of members, and the following business was transacted:Mr Martin moved that the secretary (Mr Wilson) interview Cr Ritchie, and point out that the Government reserve between the railway line and Kananook Creek may be suitable for an approach to the new railway station, from Martines road, instead of a road to the east of the line; also to urge the opening up at once of the entrance to the station from Broughton’s road. Mr McInnis seconded the motion, which was carried.

The meaning of existence (and other short stories)

By Stuart McCullough

Idle thoughts on democracy

By Stuart McCullough DEMOCRACY is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

Or so claimed Winston Churchill. Old ‘Chuggalugs’ Churchill might have thought he was qualified to speak from experience but I’ll politely disagree.

I love the way that we, as a nation, go about the whole business, from the sausage sizzle right down to the “people’s forums” in which impartial and undecided voters are shoved into a room to ask thoughtful, insightful questions while a twitter feed from blatantly partisan observers with tag names such as Gransterman, The Nooger Man and the terrifyingly named Thundernuts, are broadcast below.

Democracy throws in to sharp focus the best and worst of all we have to offer. When else are we going to hear about the “suppository of human knowledge” or learn that not everyone likes getting their make-up done?

So to all the candidates who summoned the courage to throw their hat – whether bowler, hard or one of those with a cup holder, straw and the words ‘foam dome’ scrawled across the front – into the ring, I salute you.

For I know all too well how it feels to lay yourself bare under the democratic spotlight.

Tyabb Primary School decided to introduce a ‘house system’. Despite what the name suggests, it did not mean we were suddenly allowed to study indoors. Rather, that students

would be broken up pretty much randomly into four groups. Sadly, the four houses were named after colours: blue, gold and two others I can’t presently remember but, for the sake of convenience, I’ll refer to as magenta and antique white.

I’d though it ridiculous, suggesting instead that the houses be named after either the four horsemen of the Apocalypse or members of the Beatles.

We went to church every Sunday and, even at a young age, I took the four horsemen extremely seriously. I would sit in the pew in terrified awe as the minister gave a sermon on the book of Revelations and how the

horsemen – Pestilence, War, Famine and Trevor – would one day sweep down on an unsuspecting earth.

Such was my devotion that I even had a number of their albums. To this day, I’ll occasionally slip a copy of Frankie Valli and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse onto the hi-fi as I do the housework.

My other great passion was the Beatles. Sure, they’d broken up years earlier, but I’d become obsessed with a cassette entitled The Beatles Ballads which my father got free with a TimeLife magazine subscription.

When my family got sick of the Apocalypse, we listened to the Bea-

tles. You can’t tell me that being a member of either Pestilence or Ringo House wouldn’t have been wonderful, but the idea was rejected at a hastily convened staffroom meeting.

To avoid conflict, family members were lumped together, so all five members of the McCullough family were assigned to Gold house. This, presumably, was based on the principle that “a house divided cannot stand”.

But being in a house was not enough – the school demanded that there be house captains. We’d never had house captains before and I had no idea what powers ‘house captains’ might wield.

Would they be able to marry people at sea? Or, if not, at least be entitled to wear a blue blazer, white cap and stare off into the distance?

Whether wearing a hat can fairly be described as “the trappings of power” is a matter for debate, but I was enthralled. However, being somewhat shy, I never for a moment dreamed that I could aspire to the exalted rank of house captain.

The odds of winning a popular vote were stacked against me. For starters, at that time I had Ringo Starr’s haircut circa June 1964, only blonde. I wasn’t especially popular with other kids either, with my dominance of spelling bees serving only to alienate me from my peers.

However, Tyabb Primary School was pretty small then and once the pupils were divided into four houses,

the groups only had about thirty or so kids in each of them. When a call for volunteers failed, the bony finger of both fate and Ms Hocking was aimed squarely in my direction.

Caught off guard, I instantly assembled my pitch for election. I would, obviously, change our name to Pestilence House. And I’d make sure that kids everywhere had the right to demand a Beatle-bowlcut.

Although these were obviously wonderful policies, there was another factor at play – nepotism. In a group of thirty, I had two brothers and two sisters. Surely, this would be enough to swing the vote squarely in my direction? Or it would be, if I could count on their votes being cast in my favour.

Looking around the room, I couldn’t help but notice that my siblings were studiously avoiding eye contact. I had no idea what was going on. If only the thoughts of ‘Gransterman’ and ‘Thundernuts’ had crawled in front of me.

In those days, we didn’t go in for secret ballots; a simple show of hands was enough. As palms reached skywards at the sound of my name, my brothers and sisters remained unmoved. I won, but my term in office was riddled with controversy after I attempted to abolish lunch orders. I may have won the election, but I lost the war. My siblings, I suspect, knew better than I did. They at least, if not the people, had spoken. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Ecstasy as Dromana wins first flag in 42 years NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly DROMANA won its first senior premiership since 1971 on Saturday when it led all afternoon to smash arch-rival Sorrento by a massive 13 goals.

It was a sensational day for Dromana Football Club, which also won the reserves premiership, beating Sorrento by 54 points.

While it was a tremendous day for Dromana, it was a sorry one for Sorrento.

The Sharks did well to get all three teams into the grand final, but lost all three games when Somerville started grand final day with a massive 65-point win in the under-18s.

Dromana was primed to win the Nepean League grand final after the heartbreaking, two-point loss to Sorrento last year.

The Tigers knew where they needed to improve, were aware of the personnel they needed to achieve the improvement and dedicated themselves for a whole year.

Dromana Football Club made decisions and sacrifices to achieve success.

When you come up against powerhouse Sorrento Football Club, you have to tick every box to be competitive.

Dromana did this all season and while it lost the opening game of the year, from that point on it was the best side in the competition.

People scoffed at Devon Meadows coach Brent Clinnick earlier in the season when he said Dromana was the best country football side he had ever seen.

After the final siren at Frankston’s Kars St Oval on Saturday, a deadpan Gavin Artico told The News “we have all just witnessed the best side in the

PAGE 56

history of Nepean this afternoon”.

It was hard to argue with the now two-time premiership coach.

His charges had just spent the previous two hours dismantling a team that hadn’t lost a game all season and was looking for four premierships in a row.

Sorrento players came into the game sore after a tough loss to Dromana in the second semi-final and a bruising encounter against Rosebud in the preliminary final last weekend.

Let’s be honest, the Sharks were there to be beaten.

Dromana certainly did that – from the first bounce of the afternoon to the 31-minute mark of the last quarter when the siren sounded.

As is the case with all grand finals, there was an interesting side story to come out of the week. Matt Neratzoglou, who played 14 games this season, was dropped from the team on Wednesday night and Beau McMurray brought in.

Dromana needed an advantage over Sorrento and it was going to be provided by more run and pace as well as the ability to trap the ball in their forward half. McMurray provided this after two best-on-ground displays in his previous two matches.

Neratzoglou provided another tall forward option, but had only managed 23 goals in 15 games in a side that boasted a winning margin of 92 points in 2013. It was a tough decision to make.

Bringing in McMurray was the right thing to do for the team and club to win a premiership. His selection was vindicated in the opening quarter when he dominated and kicked a goal, one of two for the afternoon.

There was another twist in the opening quarter when Dromana ruckman

Western Port News 10 September 2013

Luke O’Neil was felled off the ball.

He was knocked out, carried off on a stretcher and failed to return, even after the final siren. Dromana is sure to provide videotape to the league.

The incident left the Tigers with three on the bench.

While you don’t want to lose players in a grand final, it almost worked in favour of the Tigers.

Number one ruckman Michael Falconer played his best game of the season, needing to shoulder the ruck load predominantly on his own. Falconer was aggressive, imposing and dominant.

It also meant Stuart Cleeve needed to step up, a responsibility he accepted with relish. He threw himself into the contest and booted an important goal.

The Dromana back six has been superb all season and the same occurred on Saturday.

Dromana’s Jay Neratzoglou dominated Sorrento’s Ben Schwarze and Michael Hunter beat Leigh Poholke.

These were two key match-ups and Dromana came out on top, comfortably.

The other four defenders in Christian Ongarello, skipper Rikki Johnston, Shaun Clarke and Adam Hunter were also superb all afternoon.

Dromana has a wealth of talent in the midfield including Adam Hunter as well as Sam and Daniel Guerts, Paul Minchington, Liam Hogan, Ryan Slocombe, Toby Banks and Braeden Dennis.

Hogan and Slocombe are underestimated in their roles. They work tirelessly in and under, do a lot of the hard stuff and get the ball out to the runners. Paul Minchington is a little magician and his attack on the footy can never be questioned.

Jarred Wood also uses his strong body to perfection and ensured every hit was a big one.

Dromana’s only weakness in the second semi-final was its forward line and its inability to hold the ball inside its 50-metre arc.

There was no such problem on Saturday.

Anthony Bruhn was at his Team of the Year best with five goals, Toby Banks finished with three goals after a great tussle with Sorrento skipper Benny McCormack, Daniel Waddell had a slow start but stormed home with three majors through pure hard work, and Dan Gormley provided electricity and unpredictability that we come to expect from him.

All Dromana players performed well but best of them was Terry Wheeler.

He dominated on the wing, had 30 possessions and finished with two goals.

It was Dromana’s run and carry that won the game.

Sorrento was shocked early when Leigh Treeby injured his thigh. He was ineffectual after quarter time.

Troy Schwarze stepped up in Treeby’s absence before he too was injured. It was a case of managing the best they could for Sorrento after halftime.

The Tigers sensed a kill in the third quarter and responded with a 7.1 to 0.1 quarter. That was the game right there.

It hasn’t been Dromana’s way this season to take the foot off the pedal.

The Tigers booted another 6.2 to 2.1 in the final 31 minutes to really make a statement.

A Dromana premiership was a fitting result for the best team in the competition this season.

Edithvale booted five goals to two in a frantic last quarter against Frankston YCW to win 11.17–83 to 11.12–78.

The Eagles dominated general play in the final term, however, almost kicked themselves out of it with 10 behinds in the final 30 minutes.

Frankston YCW was looking for its fourth premiership in as many seasons in 2013 and looked to be in the box seat at three quarter time on Sunday at Frankston Park when it led by 14 points.

However, Edithvale full forward Matthew Kremmer booted four goals in the last quarter to help get his side over the line. Kremmer finished the afternoon with a game-high seven goals.

The Eagles will be attempting to be the first side to go from a wooden spoon one season, to the premiership the next when it faces Bonbeach in the big dance this Sunday.

Bonbeach will be looking for its first premiership since 1984.

It was a see-sawing battle all afternoon between the Eagles and the Stonecats.

The teams had met twice through the season, the Eagles smashing the Stonecats by 50 points on the Queen’s Birthday weekend. They met again in round 18, where YCW came from seven goals down in the second quarter to

record an 18-point win.

This game was always going to be a classic, despite the fact that the Eagles had to come from an Elimination Final.

Edithvale kicked the first two goals of the match through Jeremy Heys and Brad Tagg, before the Stonecats

responded with three of their own in six minutes.

David Bodley booted two first quarter goals and finished the afternoon with four and Ricky Morris added one to give the Stonecats a 10-point break at the first change.

Both teams went toe to toe in the

second quarter before Kremmer broke the drought at the 10-minute mark and snagged his first for the day. Adam Budge booted a goal at the 18-minute mark and Kremmer kicked his second in time-on to give the Eagles the lead at the major break.

As expected, Frankston YCW came out charging in the third quarter through their skipper Anthony Barry, Craig Nankervis and Byron Barry and dominated the quarter, booting six goals to one.

The Stonecats were running on top of the ground and looked to be the winners at three quarter time.

However, Timmy and Stevey Mannix, along with Tagg and teenage sensation Bailey Dale, refused to throw in the towel.

As we have seen on many ocassions this season in Peninsula League, if you can hang in a game long enough, you are every chance of winning.

The Eagles kicked the first of their five last quarter goals at the eight minute of the last quarter and then booted the next two to make it a real ball game.

The Stonecats responded with one, before the Eagles kicked two of the last three to get over the line in an absolute thriller.

The final Kremmer goal came well into time-on.

In the Reserves, Seaford got the job done against Mt Eliza to advance to the grand final against Langwarrin this Sunday.

In the Under 18s, Frankston YCW earned another shot at Mt Eliza after beating Seaford by 16 points.

Teams of year ‘clear cut’ PENINSULA League and Nepean League coaches have voted for their teams of the year.

The poll was organised by The News’s football writer Andrew “Toe Punt” Kelly.

There were 52 players nominated in Peninsula and 56 in Nepean.

“Players with the most nominations from coaches were selected. The teams picked themselves,” Toe Punt said.

“Unlike previous years, the 22 players selected in each team received the majority of support from coaches.

“There wasn’t the situation we’ve had in previous years where there were a lot of players on similar votes and we were forced to make hard decisions.

“This year, there was overwhelming support for the 22 selected.”

of teammate Caydn Beetham.

Red Hill’s Ryan Blake won the Reserves medal while Red Hill teenager Corey Wood won the Under-18 medal.

Rye’s Rhett Sutton was crowned the league’s Most Valuable Player.

In Peninsula League, Pines’ Jamie Messina won his second medal, joint winners with Mt Eliza’s Rohan Heasley.

Bonbeach’s Scott McDonald, who won the Most Valuable Player Award, was runner-up. Langwarrin’s Michael Hatch won the Reserves medal and Langwarrin’s Blake Harkness the Under-18s medal.

Artico quits DROMANA premiership coach Gavin Artico announced his resignation from the club a week before Saturday’s grand final victory.

It was an amicable separation between the club and the two-time premiership coach.

Artico will be keenly sought by a number of clubs looking to take the next step. His two former clubs, Frankston YCW and Langwarrin, are believed to be keen to recruit Artico, a life member at YCW and a premiership player and coach at Langy.

New regional manager AFL South East Commission has announced the appointment of Jeremy Bourke as region general manager.

The commission said Bourke had a proven track record as a “strategically minded football administrator” having previously worked with the VAFA in a football operations role and more recently as the CEO of Northern Football League where he worked “diligently to change the culture and public perception of Northern Football League, which is now viewed as a professional community football league”.

The position was created after the AFL’s 2011 review of football in country Victoria. The review found football needed a change of governance structure to provide greater strategic focus, more effective decision-making at a regional level and an investment in resources directly in regions. Bourke will oversee the development of a strategic plan for the southeast region and report to the AFL South East Commission.

Peninsula League Team of the Year 2013

SORRENTO premiership coach Troy Schwarze is keen to reignite his coaching career next season.

The rumour doing the traps is he wants to lead another club next season.

His brother Ben and Caydn Beetham might join him at a new club. There wouldn’t be too many clubs who could afford the trio.

It is also believed James Hallahan has expressed interest in playing in the WAFL or SANFL next season in the hope of having another crack at the AFL. While on Sorrento, Leigh Treeby has been tipped to take over the coaching reins from team of the year coach Nick Claringbold.
