Dog’s plight underlines election fight IT’S an improbable image to use in an election campaign. A sad eyed dog, his body slumped in despair. But for Ben Wild, the plight of this dog, left, empitomises what’s wrong with the treatment of animals. Mr Wild, a member of the Animal Justice Party, is one of six candidates seeking election to the federal seat of Flinders held since 2001 by Environment Minister Greg Hunt. The dog and about 40 others are at the centre of a court case scheduled for later this month following charges laid by Casey Council against their owner, who lives at Blind Bight, near Tooraddin. Mr Wild wants to see a new federal office of animal welfare established which would stand apart from the agriculture departments and be in a position to strengthen the powers of animal welfare organisations, such as the RSPCA. He says his party’s concerns about the neglect and lack of rights for animals has struck a chord with voters, as reflected in the 15,000-signatures already affixed to an online petition calling for action over the Blind Bight case by Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce. “Animals poll priority for Wild side” – Page 7

Field of 17 in poll race Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au VOTERS bored with a seemingly interminable eight-week federal election campaign can now begin to focus attention on polling day on 2 July after the political runners were confirmed on Friday. The Australian Electoral Commission released the official list of candidates on Friday (10 June). A field of six will contest the seat of Flinders and 11 candidates will battle to

win the hotly-contested marginal seat of neighbouring Dunkley. Liberal Environment Minister Greg Hunt holds Flinders by a whopping 11.8 per cent margin so there seems little chance of an upset victory as he faces challengers Carolyn Gleixner (Labor), Willisa Hogarth (Greens), Ben Wild (Animal Justice Party), Yvonne Gentle (Rise Up Australia Party) and independent Shane Lewis. Polling suggests the vote in Dunkley could go down to the wire. Sitting member Bruce Billson, the former Liberal

small business minister, decided to retire from politics earlier this year after more than two decades. The affable and popular Mr Billson stepped down after being dropped from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s cabinet when he ousted former PM Tony Abbott. Liberal candidate for Dunkley Chris Crewther faces a fight to retain the seat for his party in the face of a surge in support, according to polls, for Labor candidate Peta Murphy. Mr Billson won the seat with a 5.6 per

cent margin in 2013. Jeanette Swain (Greens), Tim Wilms (Liberal Democrats), Ruth Stanfield (Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party), Michael Rathbone (Family First Party), Sally Baillieu (The Arts Party), Jeff Reaney (Australian Christians), Lin Tregenza (Rise Up Australia Party), Jack Tyson (Animal Justice Party) and independent Joseph Toscano are the nine candidates joining Ms Murphy and Mr Crewther in the battle for Dunkley. Preferences could be crucial in deciding whether the seat is retained by the

Liberals or it swings to Labor. The marginal seat of Isaacs – stretching from Mordialloc to parts of Carrum Downs and including parts of Keysborough, Noble Park and Dandenong – is held by Labor MP Mark Dreyfus, the former attorney-general by a marginal 3.9 per cent margin. Just three other candidates have put their hand up to challenge Mr Dreyfus. Liberal candidate Garry Spencer, Greens hopeful Alex Breskin and the Animal Justice Party’s Elizabeth Johnston will face off in Isaacs on 2 July.

Shire to hire in-house lawyer Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is about to appoint an in-house lawyer to provide “risk-based” solutions for its legal dilemmas. The “corporate counsel” will report to the chief financial officer - currently Matthew Hubbard - and be responsible for legal advice and representation on a such issues as planning, commercial contracts, property transactions, governance,

employment law, freedom of information and privacy. While no salary range had been provided, The News believes an in-house lawyer is considered to be more cost-effective than the bills being clocked up by the shire from private lawyers. Shire CEO Carl Cowie sees hiring a lawyer as being a “proactive” stance towards managing the need for legal advice on internal matters, as well as to “cover off” on the variety of local, state and federal laws and regulations that impact on the shire’s regular operations.

He declined to comment on how much the shire spends on legal advice. A legal source told The News that about half of the state’s 79 municipalities employ in-house lawyers that focus on specific areas, but only about six have “corporate counsels” who report directly to the CEO or chief financial officer and have a brief covering all council-related matters. The advertisement for the shire’s corporate counsel states the successful lawyer will need to “… possess sophisticated communication and engagement skills and be able to interpret and trans-

late complex legislation into practical advice and risk-based solutions”. The move to bolster legal efficiency comes in the wake of a long-running dispute among councillors over their expenses budgets. Cr Hugh Fraser said that while two of his councillor colleagues, Antonella Celie and Anne Shaw, obtained legal advice over a recent expenses dispute “without council’s knowledge”, his recent request to shire management for legal advice on the code of conduct review was denied. See “Unsafe advice” Letters Page 18

Shoreline inspiration MORNINGTON Peninsula artist Craig Davy has won the $3000 best work prize at the Flinders Art Show with an oil painting of Gunnamatta beach. Davy grew up on the peninsula and around Sorrento where his great-great grandfather stonemason George Morce built many landmarks, including the Koonya Hotel and St John’s Church. Davy spent much time trekking the peninsula in search of landscapes to paint and his works reflect nature. His impressionistic approach emphasises light, movement and brush stroke. Davy and wife Rebecca recently bought Noel’s Gallery, Red Hill. Other award winners were best equine art, Vicki Sullivan, and a taste of wine, Yannick Anderson. “Overall, I think the show has a broad range of work to suit all tastes, ages and price brackets,” show president Christine Haydon said. “The $150 small works give an opportunity for people to buy something,

as most of us can find a place on a wall for a small painting and the price point is affordable. “The great thing about the show is that we take all works and the funds we raise go back to the community. “This Year is our 49th and we think that each year we improve – just like a good wine.” More results: best oil or acrylic, John Bredl; best watercolour, Kathie Mathes; best pastel, Jo-Anne Seberry; emerging young artist, Kerrie O’James; peninsula seascape, Jacqui Simpson; peninsula landscape, Carole Milton; best printmaking, Lisa Sewards; best contemporary work, Simone Dole; best flora/fauna work, Julie reason; best drawing, Kate Jenvey; best still life study, Claire McCall; best painting of still life, Glenn Hoyle; best small work, Kathie Mathes; highly commendeds: Paula Petersen, Lyn Davis and Ann Hackett, and president’s packers’ prize, Andrew Stevens.

Watts takes on Green for title fight FORMER Bitten boy and now plumber, gym owner and boxer Kane Watts admits to being “a little bit nervous” in the lead up to his cruiser weight fight against boxing legend Danny Green. It’s not every day one gets to fight an icon of Australian sport in front of a big crowd at Hisense Arena. “I’ve rarely fought anyone of that magnitude,” Watts said Thursday as he prepared for a day on the tools. “But I am confident I’ll be a match for him.” The former Australian cruiser weight title holder, who has relinquished his belt for the chance to fight Green, beat Emosi Solitua at the Melbourne Pavilion, Flemington, in August to claim the title. “Green approached [my coach] Brian Amatruda to set up the fight for the [now] vacant belt,” he said. “I respect the man; there’s no trash talk.” The fight against 43-year-old Green is an exciting prospect for Watts, 33, who attended Western Port Secondary College and played football for Hasting and Mornington. The money is enticing, too. Watts will receive $60,000 and Green $250,000 in the Wednesday 3 August bout. The pair will fight at around 90kg. “I run a couple of businesses so there’s always a bit of a financial struggle,” he said. “The money will come in handy.” Watts began boxing at 24 and turned pro in 2008. He has a 19 win, two loss record, including 11 knock outs. He is trained by veteran Ray Giles, and former Commonwealth and Australian champion, Julian Holland, of Carrum Downs.

Fight of his life: Kane Watts is preparing for his bout against Danny Green.

Two divers die as waves batter pier MYSTERY surrounds the deaths of two scuba divers near Mornington pier, Friday, but rough seas and strong winds almost certainly contributed to the tragedy. Diving instructor Leonie Hanson, 40, who worked for Harbour Dive Australia, Mornington, and her pupil, a 39-year-old man, of Langwarrin, drowned when they got into difficulties around noon. Witnesses said they heard screams as a desperate Ms Hanson tried to keep her unconscious pupil afloat and lift him onto a ladder on the seaward side of the concrete wall, while being buffeted by large waves. Nearby restaurateur Robert De Santis, who ran to help, told Channel 9 news that a frantic Ms Hanson was struggling to hold onto the man and yelling â&#x20AC;&#x153;hold himâ&#x20AC;?. Mr De Santis climbed down the ladder and into the water fully clothed in a desperate rescue attempt. He said the pair had their full diving gear on making them hard to hold on to. He and other rescuers removed the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diving gear to push the tank off so they could lift him up while a sinking, and obviously exhausted Ms Hanson, slipped away out of reach. Mr De Santis said the instructorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole concern was in saving her pupil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was helping as well ... I said 'grab the ladder' because I could see she was getting tired, so I put her on the ladder, held his hand,â&#x20AC;? he said on Channel 9 news. Witnesses said a boat owner moved in to help as Mr De Santis struggled to help the pair, but Ms

Local priorities I am fighting for include: â&#x20AC;˘ The upgrade of Rosebud Hospital to a 150 bed facility. â&#x20AC;˘ Greater investment for HMAS Cerberus ($500 million committed). â&#x20AC;˘ Upgrades for Forest Drive Mt Martha, Jetty Road Rosebud and other dangerous intersections.

Hanson was overwhelmed by exhaustion and had possibly gone into shock when she disappeared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just saying 'hold on, hold on', and I don't know ... I had a rope around my leg ... then the fireman told me to let go â&#x20AC;Ś she started sinking,â&#x20AC;? he said. Police, CFA, paramedics at the pier praised the efforts of Mr De Santis and other would-be rescuers. Sergeant Dennis Ramsay, of Mornington police, said the rough conditions on the outer side of the pier hampered rescue attempts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the major issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big waves were hitting them because they were on the rough side and they kept getting pushed into the pier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was struggling to hold onto the man and everyone was attempting to assist; it was just really unfortunate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears the man was already deceased and there was a lot of work going on to help him and she just slipped away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it looks like for now, but we may never know how it occurred.â&#x20AC;? Sergeant Ramsay said it was puzzling why Ms Hansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buoyancy vest had not kept her afloat. Strong north-westerly winds and the big swell made it hard for police search and rescue divers to recover Ms Hansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body, which was found under the pier. Police are not treating the deaths as suspicious. They will prepare a report for the coroner. Stephen Taylor

Planning better town integration and access Detailed aerial mapping and surveying has been completed in Rye to assist with planning the better integration of the township with the foreshore, pier and beach as well as trafﬁc, pedestrian and bicycle management along Point Nepean Road. A ‘mobility map’ has also been developed for Rye to assist people to better plan their journey around the town. In Blairgowrie, the Shire is proposing pedestrian access improvements at the shopping strip to provide a safe crossing point for pedestrians and improved access from the disabled parking bays.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2016

Animals poll priority on the Wild side FLINDERS electorate candidate Ben Wild wants a new federal animal welfare office established to give more power to organisations such as the RSPCA. The Animal Justice Party candidate says such organisations want more power to intervene in animal cruelty cases, but fear losing government funding if they speak out too forcefully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one is standing up for people who care about animals,â&#x20AC;? Mr Wild said on Monday. He is one of six candidates standing for Flinders at the 2 July federal election. The seat is currently held by Liberal Greg Hunt with a more than 11 per cent majority. Mr Wild says 15,000 signatures to his online petition calling on Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce to take action against the owner of 40 dogs at Blind Bight is an illustration of the concern people have for animal welfare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local, state and federal politicians are doing nothing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I wonder if their names were Pistol or Boo if we would have seen some action by now?â&#x20AC;? Mr Wild said, referring to Mr Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick action against US actress Amber Heard for illegally bringing her two Yorkshire terriers into Australia while visiting her now estranged husband Johnny Deep in April 2015. The Blind Bight petition at change. org calls on Mr Joyce to intervene in the case where it is alleged the dogs remain â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuck in the freezingâ&#x20AC;? cold, with inadequate shelter and sub-standard provisionsâ&#x20AC;? at Blind Bight, a small hamlet near Tooraddin on the northern shores of Western Port.

Chained up: Some of the estimated 40 dogs on a property at Blind Bight which are the subject of multiple charges by Casey Council. Picture: Supplied

Mr Wild said there would have been no action taken towards protecting the dogs if it were not for Casey Council â&#x20AC;&#x153;just by chance having some powersâ&#x20AC;?. Charges laid by Casey Council include keeping an excess number of dogs without a permit; failing to provide sufficient housing; tethering dogs on tethers of less than three metres; using tethering as a permanent means of restraint for dogs; and, failing to register dogs. However, some firearms charges had already been dropped and the case deferred until later this month.

He said questions remained about why there were so many dogs being kept on the property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to see them all as they are chained up in bushland. If there were puppies the authorities could have seized all the dogs, but under existing laws this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possible.â&#x20AC;? Mr Wild said the announcement of his candidature for Flinders had sparked contacts from many people with concerns about animal issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of dog issues out there and a lot of people are seeing me as a voice for animal welfare.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2013 the Abbott government took animal welfare off the Commonwealth agenda. Instead, it left individual departments of agriculture to be primarily responsible for implementing animal welfare standards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The conflict of interest is clear. These departments of agriculture are charged with protecting and promoting profits for the agriculture industry while at the same time ensuring animal welfare standards are met and maintained. Revenue raising and animal welfare do not make happy bed-fellows.â&#x20AC;? Keith Platt

Govt to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;clearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mobile black spots AFTER years of frustration it seems the calls for better mobile phone reception at Red Hill and Shoreham have finally been heard. Flinders MP Greg Hunt is â&#x20AC;&#x153;delightedâ&#x20AC;? that money needed to improve telecommunications in the two areas will be available if the Coalition government is re-elected at the 2 July federal poll. Mr Hunt, who holds Flinders for the Liberals with a more than 11 per cent margin, is competing against five other candidates: Yvonne gentle (Rise Up Australia Party), Shane Lewis (independent), Willisa Hogarth (The Greens), Carolyn Gleixner (Labor) and Ben Wild (Animal Justice Party). Mr Hunt said a re-elected Turnbull government would spend an extra $60 million to clear up mobile black spots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many residents from these areas [Shoreham and Red Hill] have approached me about inadequate or practically non-existent mobile reception and this commitment will provide enhanced coverage for these townships,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hunt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This improved coverage will provide benefits to emergency service operators, businesses, and local residents.â&#x20AC;? He said the government had already spent $160m on mobile black spots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These locations have been selected for new base stations as they have been overlooked by mobile network operators due to commercial factors,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hunt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Coalition is committed to improving mobile coverage along major transport routes, in small communities and ... areas with high seasonal demand.â&#x20AC;?

New rules take the ‘personal’ out of council debates Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula councillors are divided over a revised code of conduct that discourages them from making personal attacks on each other and sets out the process for dealing with bad behaviour. However, shire CEO Carl Cowie told The News he expects that the version of the code of conduct adopted at last week’s special council meeting will be signed by all councillors before the end of June. On Friday, the mayor Cr Graham Pittock said that while he did not agree with some of the amendments, councillors had no choice but to sign the code and “just agree to abide by it”. The state government introduced reforms in March requiring all councils to revise their councillor code and adopt it by 4 July. At a special meeting on Monday to sign off on the amended code - which has a much stronger focus on expected behaviours - councillors disagreed on its effectiveness, with claims that it

would stifle debate. Among the 10-page list of expectations and behaviours, the code makes it punishable for councillors to divulge confidential information, accept gifts other than of “token value”, “malign” other councillors for their decisions, and use council resources such as mobile phones and cars, for personal use. The code backs up state government reforms introduced last year to deal with rogue councillors, who will now face an independent conduct panel that can impose six-month suspensions. Before the new laws, the government was only able to sack an entire council if there were ongoing problems. After the meeting Cr Hugh Fraser said the council was trying to push through changes before the deadline, calling the draft put up by management a “scissors and paste” job, inconsistent with the Local Government Act. Cr Fraser said the Act already contained “confidentiality” clauses to promote transparent council business, but that the revised code of conduct departed from this and would prevent debate. “The result is a repressive uncertain

code which, under pain of a misconduct allegation, could be used to stifle democratic debate by councillors in council and the community.” Cr Fraser said his request for legal advice to help council sort it out was refused by shire management. Voting for the code were deputy mayor Cr Bev Colomb, and Crs Anne Shaw, Antonella Celi, David Gibb, David Garnock and Andrew Dixon. Opposing the motion to adopt the code were the mayor Graham Pittock and Crs Fraser, Tim Rodgers and Tim Wood. Cr Celi said the code would improve the way councillors discussed council issues and set a “clear framework” that would prevent councillors launching personal attacks against each other. “It’s like muddy the football not the player and that’s what makes a good sport in the game,” she said. Under the legislative reforms, all councillors must sign the revised code within one month of the majority of councillors passing the resolution, or face disqualification.

Aged care by the bay that’s much closer to home.

Express service: Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke, left, SkyBus director Adam Begg and Frankston mayor James Dooley look forward and the bus the runs to Melbourne Airport from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Airport shuttle’s new owner THE state government may be facing anti-sky rail protests but it is happy to welcome a SkyBus to Frankston. SkyBus has taken over the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula to Melbourne Airport shuttle route. It offers free travel to children, online ticketing and smartphone ticket access. The cost is $38 one way. The service takes in Frankston, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Dromana, and Rosebud. SkyBus director Adam Begg, who says he was “born and raised in Frankston”, said the operator was delighted to be expanding on its existing routes. “I understand the importance of easy, convenient and value-for-money services from the outer suburb to

Melbourne Airport,” he said. “We are excited to be bringing our service to Frankston and offering residents an outstanding experience.” Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said: “The Frankston community welcomes the arrival of SkyBus to our area. “Improved and cost effective transport services, particularly to the airport, are important to residents of Frankston and outer south-eastern suburbs.” The Frankston pick-up point: 444 Nepean Highway, outside Pragmatic Training; Mt Eliza: 84 Mt Eliza Way, opposite Safeway; Mornington: Corner Main and Queen streets, outside old library; Dromana: bus stop 88 opposite Harvey World Travel, and Rosebud: outside Safeway near the primary school, 967 Pt Nepean Rd.

Enjoy yourself in aged care apartment living at one of Mornington’s most convenient bayside locations. The new Benetas approach to aged care means you can make more personal choices and form closer relationships, in familiar surroundings. As part of the Mornington community for over 50 years, we are proud to announce new aged care apartments at Benetas Corowa Court on the Esplanade, combining contemporary living with first-class care.

Swamp housing plan to VCAT LOBBY group Save Tootgarook Swamp will lead the community’s case at the Victorian Civil and Administration Tribunal this week for the refusal of a 99-house infill development in Tootgarook Swamp in one of the most important environmental cases the Mornington Peninsula has seen. The land – almost 30 hectares, or 74 acres – is at 92 Elizabeth Av, Rosebud West, one of several privately held blocks in the swamp that were zoned residential by the old Shire of Flinders before environmental considerations became common in planning. The application has been knocked back by Melbourne Water, which legally obliged Mornington Peninsula Shire to follow suit. Save Tootgarook Swamp president Cameron Brown said the development would “strike at the heart of environmental and ecological values of Tootgarook Swamp”. “This intensive development will see the entire area in the wetland, which is directly adjacent to an unstable and polluted former landfill area, filled by houses. The area contains 23 threatened species, five endangered vegetation classes, and is a bushfire risk.” He said Save Tootgarook Swamp had identified serious issues with the proposal including “risks to human and environment health, groundwater modification, flawed plans for stormwater treatment, and increased potential flooding downstream in Rosebud West from reducing a portion of the current water retarding service that the swamp provides”. “The land itself is under an unenforced remediation order imposed by VCAT as part of a penalty for alleged illegally clearing and cultivating the land in 2009,” he said. “So far the owners/developers have avoided the mandated 10-year remediation of the land and the hearing will consider this issue. “A precedent stemming from an approval when there is an unenforced remediation order will have severe implications for Victoria’s native vegetation clearance laws, one which we believe

will cause a large increase in illegal clearing if landowners and developers know they can escape any penalty.” The shire and Melbourne Water will be represented at VCAT during a hearing expected to take seven days. “The reason objector groups and individual objectors need to attend is that while various authorities may object, often their grounds for objection are not as comprehensive as they could be,” Mr Brown said. He said volunteer community group members would take time off work to “participate in the difficult and complicated process of protecting the remnant biodiversity and habitat of the peninsula”.

State opens ‘discussion’ on plan to reshape councils THE state government has released a discussion paper which includes "giving stronger powers to the Minister for Local Government to deal with individual councillors who compromise council governance". The paper, released on Friday by Local Government Natalie Hutchins, follows a series of community forums and consideration of 300 submissions. The proposals also include mayors having twoyear terms and greater powers. Councils would also be required to be more transparent in the hiring of CEOs, their pay and conditions. The CEO is the only executive appointed directly by councillors – the CEO is oversees for all other staffing appointments. The discussion paper also suggests:

 Consistency in council electoral structures, the number of councillors and wards.  Putting communities at the centre of shaping council plans by requiring councils to undertake community engagement, such as using citizens juries.  Removing the requirement for non-resident property owners to vote.  Making voting rules consistent and providing the option for electronic voting for council elections in 2020  Giving stronger powers to the Local Government Minister to deal with councillors who compromise council governance  Improving transparency of CEO pay, recruitment, conditions and performance  Having one land valuation system for levying rates.

Opportunity in agriculture for women WOMEN with an interest in sustainable agriculture are invited to develop their knowledge and share their stories by taking part in a two-year focus group run by the Port Phillip & Westernport Catchment Management Authority. The opportunity is open to all women involved in sustainable agriculture from around the Western Port region and the Mornington Peninsula. Participants will have the opportunity to tell their stories and initiate and promote sustainable agriculture. The group will focus on developing broader networks and encouraging women to speak outside their communities on sustainable agriculture and opportunities for sustainable food production. Kicking off the program will be a two-day workshop in September, facilitated by Jenny O’Sullivan of Linking Environment, Agriculture

and People, followed by a series of workshops, farm walks and other activities. PPWCMA’s sustainable land management coordinator, Sarah Halligan, said it was a great opportunity for women in the Western Port region to get together, share their knowledge and experiences and help promote the benefits of sustainable agriculture. “There is currently little support for women in the sustainable agriculture field and it is anticipated that the development of this group will help to fill that void and provide a much needed network for women in Western Port.” Details at www.ppwcma.vic.gov.au/publications/publications.aspx or call Sarah Halligan on 8781 7908 or email sarah.halligan@ppwcma. vic.gov.au

Eyepopping: Philippe de Kraan’s The Gathering is attracting attention both for its artistic merit and his price tag. Photo: Supplied

Art and price attracts attention A MORNINGTON Peninsula artist has an ambitious plan to sell his three metre by two metre canvas for $1.6 million. Philippe de Kraan says his online “offer” is receiving attention around the globe. The Gathering, an eye-catching expressionist work in bold, bright colours, took de Kraan almost four years to complete using a miniature paintbrush. While most people who have viewed the work would have difficulty scraping together that kind of money, de Kraan said interest from overseas was encouraging.

“The news is getting around and I’ve had feedback from people in London and Dubai,” he said. “I’m very confident that it will sell because even people who have everything, don’t have this.” De Kraan is not fazed by amazement over the price tag and hopes the work will end up in a public space such as a hotel foyer or even Crown Casino. “Hypothetically, it’s peanuts, because what could it be worth in 20 years? There is a buyer out there, there is.” Liz Bell

Artist finds herself in Archibald subject Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

after losing 11-year-old Luke: "I want to tell everybody that violence can happen to anyone, no matter how nice your house is or how intelligent you are." In the two years since she has fought the change what she sees as systematic failures in responses to domestic violence in Australia: lack of communication, public perceptions of domestic violence, lack of funding and about police and legal proceedings that she felt disempowered her ability to protect herself and her son. Bilbrough says she understands when she hears about women who say fears for their own safety, prevented them from reporting abuse. Service providers continue to struggle with systemic failures in the Family Court, specifically relating to issues between parents who can no longer parent together due to domestic violence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apathy and neutrality are the new enemy to victims. Victims leave violent partners only to be battered by the courts,â&#x20AC;? Bilbrough says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People in public wanting to remain neutral and unwilling to be involved contribute to long delays in resolutions for children of Family Court cases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effects are directly visible through children who are denied intervention and counselling - this being disallowed until end of proceedings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If children are left the subject of unresolved Family Court litigation they tread a difficult and sometimes impossible path to-ing and fro-ing between parent's homes whilst litigation outcomes get repeatedly adjoined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children need to be able to see

ROSEBUD artist Fiona Bilbrough doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always find, or need, to have a strong bond with her subjects. But Rosie Batty was an exception. After their first contact where Bilbrough sought the anti-domestic violence campaignerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooperation of sitting for a portrait to be entered into this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archibald prize, there was no doubting emotions had been stirred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually Rosie, except my son is still alive,â&#x20AC;? Bilbrough said last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a similarity in our stories.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now an ongoing relationship between artist and subject that stretches beyond paint on canvas. Bilbrough has become an active campaigner for a petition calling for politicians to do all they can to prevent domestic violence which will be presented to them on 20 June, the birthday of Battyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Luke, murdered by his father during a cricket practice at Tyabb in February 2014. Greg Batty was shot by police at the scene and died in hospital the following day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was taken aback by the depth of catharsis's I experienced while producing this particular artwork,â&#x20AC;? Bilbrough says. Chosen as Australian of the Year in 2015, Batty told the media the day FIONA Bilbrough and her Archibald Prize entry of anti-domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty. Picture: Yanni

Shining a light on elder abuse MCCRAE lighthouse will go purple tomorrow (Wednesday 15 June), the colour chosen to highlight World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Mornington Peninsula Shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisory committee on ageing and Peninsula Advisory Committee for Elders (PACE) are working with McCrae Lions Club to â&#x20AC;&#x153;shine a lightâ&#x20AC;? on elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue. Elder abuse is any act which causes harm to an older person and is carried out by someone they know or trust, such as family and friends. PACE will also have information tables at Rosebud Plaza and Bentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square Shopping Centre, 15 June. Details: elderabuseawarenessday.org.au/

Park working bee RESIDENTS are invited to help at a planting session at Red Hill Community Park, Saturday 18 June. Hundreds of plants and trees will go into the ground at the session, which runs 10amnoon. Planters are asked to bring their own tools, such as a tube stock planter or trowel and hammer and meet in the car park at Pt Leo and Callanans roads corner. The long-awaited community park at Red Hill Station Reserve came about early last year

with the removal of 78 pine trees as well as ivy, karamu, sweet pittosporum and other woody weeds. The pines were cut into logs and shipped to China, and the weeds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rubble â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were removed by eight young members of the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Army. This was followed by the installation of paths and retaining walls, garden beds and a war memorial. Others features are a play area, picnic area with tables and seats, and electric barbecue courtesy of Lions Club of Red Hill.

Plant guide NEPEAN Conservation Group has produced an indigenous plant guide â&#x20AC;&#x153;to encourage residents to appreciate and maintain the natural beauty of the peninsula,â&#x20AC;? coordinator John Trewarne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ongoing habitat survival, and efforts to maintain the natural beauty of the peninsula, is in the hands of the residents, and the brochure is a tool to be used to achieve this.â&#x20AC;? Mr Trewarne said the guide would be given to schools â&#x20AC;&#x153;as a leaning tool for the next generation of carers for our peninsulaâ&#x20AC;?.

the light at the end of the tunnel and feel a sense of belonging which is an integral part of building good mental health. That includes children as well as parents.â&#x20AC;? Bilbrough said children â&#x20AC;&#x153;left in limbo they lose their resilience and are more likely to become a breeding ground for long term mental health and relational issuesâ&#x20AC;?. These social and emotional difficulties â&#x20AC;&#x153;become permanent disabilities entrenched in their makeup. In a lot of cases the damage is irreparable. Society pays the price in the endâ&#x20AC;?. Bilbrough said Battyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Never Alone campaign outlined a five-step reform program for the Family Court â&#x20AC;&#x153;that will hope to address systematic failuresâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The campaign so far has helped raise awareness, but laws and government reform sadly remain unaddressed and out of touch when dealing with the reality that parents are facing today,â&#x20AC;? Bilbrough said. However, despite her anti-domestic violence activism, Bilbrough says artists are not always known to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;publicly forwardâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope our art is our voice. I've always hoped my work would speak for itself and not be viewed with political content. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But since becoming a mother and meeting Rosie Batty, things may have swung in a different direction, temporarily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's the journey that counts - the end product does not hold as much value. Before I complete one piece, another one has started in my head. The chase continues.â&#x20AC;?

Detecting cancer TECHNOLOGY to detect pancreatic and lung cancers sooner is now available at Peninsula Health â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thanks to the Mornington Peninsula community. More than $500,000 was raised to bring the endoscopic ultrasound and endo bronchial ultrasound equipment to diagnose patients at Frankston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is only 5 per cent, so early detection is vital,â&#x20AC;? Peninsula Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endoscopy head Dr Leon Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason pancreatic cancer is so deadly is because most tumours arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t detected until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at an advanced stage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when treatment is unlikely to be effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the EUS machine is a fast, simple and low-risk procedure that can diagnose pancreatic cancer within hours.â&#x20AC;? Pancreatic cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in Australia.

WOMEN with an interest in sustainable agriculture are invited to develop their knowledge and share their stories by taking part in a two-year focus group run by the Port Phillip & Westernport Catchment Management Authority. The opportunity is open to all women involved in sustainable agriculture from around Western Port and the Mornington Peninsula. The group will focus on developing broader networks and encouraging women to speak outside their communities on sustainable agriculture and opportunities for sustainable food production. Kicking off the program will be a two-day workshop in September, facilitated by Jenny Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan of Linking Environment, Agriculture and People, followed by a series of workshops, farm walks and other activities. PPWCMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainable land management coordinator, Sarah Halligan, said it was a great opportunity for women in the Western Port region to get together, share their knowledge and experiences and help promote the benefits of sustainable agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is currently little support for women in the sustainable agriculture field and it is anticipated that the development of this group will help to fill that void and provide a much needed network for women in Western Port.â&#x20AC;? Interested women should complete an Expression of Interest Form, which can be found at www.ppwcma.vic. gov.au/publications/publications.aspx. For more information, contact Sarah Halligan on 8781 7908 or email sarah.halligan@ppwcma.vic.gov.au

Judges reserve praise for winning wines THE judges presented 21 trophies to wineries from the Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, South Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and even Italy at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Cool Climate Wine Show at Mornington Racing Club. Of the 400-odd entries, 80 came from the peninsula and, of the 21 trophy awards, seven went to peninsula wineries. Two successful peninsula wineries were Elgee Park and Tucks Ridge estates, which won inaugural perpetual trophies: Elgee Park for its Family Reserve Chardonnay 2015 and Tucks Ridge for its Buckle Pinot Noir 2013 wine. In her show comments, chief judge and master of wine Meg Brodtmann praised the high quality of wines. The mayor Cr Graham Pittock said the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine industry had grown in significance and highlighted its importance in promoting the region. Management committee chair Kevin Wyatt said was â&#x20AC;&#x153;thrilledâ&#x20AC;? that wine industry people from Tasmania and South Australia had flown in for the show. Other peninsula wine winners were Red Hill Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014, Foxeys Hangoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Pinot Gris 2015 and Bittern Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bittern Estate RosĂŠ 2015.

OBITUARY

Death of Irene Incigneri at 100 By Peter McCullough IRENE Incigneri was born on 4 January, 1916 in the Somerville hospital, then under the control of the redoubtable Matron Hodgins. She was the daughter of Steve and Lizzie (nee Ford, from Sale) and the granddaughter of Guiseppi and Annie Incigneri. Irene lived in the family home in Victoria St, Hastings, and attended St Mary’s school where she always sat next to Beatrice Hoban, whose sister subsequently married a member of the Incigneri family. Later generations of the Incigneri family always referred to Beatrice as “aunty B”. Vera, Irene’s older sister, was a telephonist with The Age and, in her late teens, Irene obtained a similar

position with the same newspaper. The sisters lived together in Richmond and Irene, who worked the night shift, was provided with a taxi to travel home early each morning. The taxi always detoured via South Yarra, enabling Irene to fulfill one of her other responsibilities which was to deliver an early edition of The Age at the home of then managing director, Ranald Macdonald. Vera and Irene later moved to Caulfield, before retiring to Frankston about 30 years ago. Neither sister married and Irene lived alone after Vera’s death; two years ago she was admitted to Forest Lodge Willow in Frankston. Irene passed away peacefully on 2 April and her funeral took place at

Bunurong Memorial Park on 11 April. Family members recalled her as a gracious lady who delighted in food (she was a wonderful cook), flowers and The Age. Footnote: Giuseppi Incigneri was one of several Italian fishermen who came to Hastings in the second half of the 19th century. He and his wife Annie had 10 children and two of their sons have featured previously in The News. The edition of January, 2010 contained the story of champion footballer Len Incigneri, written by Doug Dyall, and the 2015 Anzac Day special told of the tragic death of 13-year-old Francis who was killed in the school yard at Hastings in 1893 during rifle practice.

LETTERS Unsafe advice Unfortunately, the legal advice relied on by Crs Ann Shaw and Antonella Celi has been compromised by the manner in which it was obtained (“Expenses allowed” and “Concerning News”, Letters 7/6/16). Mornington Peninsula Shire Council did not authorise obtaining the advice. Shire management did so at the request of Cr Celi. Council was unaware that legal advice had been obtained until it was produced by management for discussion by councillors at a briefing at Mornington on 21 March at which Cr Celi was present. Council has dealt with eight councillors’ claims for professional development conferences and seminars expenses on at least five occasions since 2012, including the claims of Cr Celi and Cr Shaw. The inescapable fact not considered by the lawyers is that on all but the first occasion, shire management reported in writing to each of these council meetings that “Each councillor is allocated $4000 per annum for attendance at conferences and seminars, or the equivalent of $16,000 per councillor term”. An additional $3500 is allocated if a councillor holds the office of mayor. Neither shire management nor councillors could be in any doubt as to this. No council meeting has authorised claims in excess of the prescribed amounts. Why these facts were not provided by shire management to the lawyers has not been explained. Legal advice is only as good as the instructions and facts provided for the lawyers’ consideration. The legal advice relied on by Crs Shaw and Celi fails that basic test. Councillors and ratepayers are entitled to a full explanation as to all these matters. Hugh Fraser, councillor, Nepean Ward

Pay their way What a kerfuffle there is about councillor's exceeding their $16,000 allowance for seminars and conferences; with some saying "I'm innocent", some "You're guilty", and some "I know nothing". The fact is that the "allowances" are being abused and, in my opinion, rorted. These "allowances" should be scrapped immediately. If councillors want a trip to Paris, or a diploma, or a director’s course, let them pay for it themselves. If they want to improve themselves during their four year tenure they should go to school and pay for it themselves. We elect them for what they are. It seems to me that not many councillors are altruistically dedicated to serving the shire and their constituents; some are in it because it is a lovely little well paid part time job that beats working in a factory. Others are in it for other reasons. There is no use in voting the bad ones out if all we get is more of the same, voting in perks and benefits for themselves. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Guilty parties The policies of both the Labor and Liberal parties towards the asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru should be criticised. Isolating these people and keeping them out of sight is an abuse of human rights, especially as Australia is a party to the Refugee Convention. To keep families indefinitely is cruel and unnecessary. The incidence of self-harm and mental illness is high. Border Force is towing boats back to Indonesia constantly but we don’t hear about it. Silence succeeds. Why is Australia so precious that we cannot absorb a mere 3000 but off load them to poor countries? An exodus is taking place world wide and we treat them badly. My country is better than this. Patricia Rayner, Somers

End detention I read with concern that there has been another report about the dangers women face both inside and out of the Nauru detention centre. This group of people – men, women and children who fled their homes to seek asylum continue to live in very challenging and unacceptable surroundings. It is clear from every report about our offshore detention centres, Nauru and Manus Island financed by the Australian Government, that the environment in and outside these centres

PAGE 18

Western Port News 14 June 2016

is toxic and dangerous and extremely detrimental to the physical and mental health of these people. No one, especially little children should spent time in these centres. The refugees and asylum seekers currently in these offshore detention centres are caught in a web spun by political decisions with no reasonable and appropriate outcomes for them. After years they still live in fear with no idea or hope for their futures because of this political impasse. This group should be considered unique, never to be replaced by other people seeking asylum and safety. These people should be brought to Australia where they can get appropriate treatment, be quickly processed for refugee or other status and have a chance to settle here and contribute to whichever community they settle in, as many before them have done. Let’s be big enough to see this outrage for what it is, and bring them here Ann Renkin, Shoreham

Detention martyr While at Frankston Magistrates Court last week to support the church group against the indefinite detention of children and refugees (“Christians show no regret for their trespass”, The News 7/6/16) it became clear to me how frightened the establishment is of the common people. As I have never been to court, I was amazed that the security procedures for getting into court and see justice in action are just as severe as on our borders. The seven people who dared to question the major parties’ asylum seeker policy at [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s office were given the chance to make statements to the bench before being judged. All spoke with conviction of the rightness of their actions and came across as caring and loving members of our society. I came to the realisation that it was not the accused who where on trail here, but a government that has been getting more and more distanced from Australians’ notion of a fair go for all. I applaud the magistrate for not recording convictions for all of defendants except one who, in my eyes, is the tragic martyr of this sorry saga of indefinite detention in our concentration camps. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Lesson in democracy After reading last week’s letter pages (The News 7/6/16), I’m amazed by how many of your correspondents still have no idea how things work in a democracy. First, we had Mr Steiner up in arms about an [election] promise [by Liberal Party candidates Chris Crewther (Dunkley) and Greg Hunt (Flinders)] to build a $2 million athletic track at Mornington (“Shades of Mirabella”). What would you have him do Mr Steiner? Back the loopy Greens policy of flying 50,000 refugees from United Nations holding camps to Australia every year? Back Labor’s support for militant unions? This was followed by a letter from John Cain (“Hunt’s state of play”) in which he criticises our local [federal] MP for having a say on [state] issues. When we go to the polls in July we send a very clear message to our elected MP, just what the majority of people in his or her electorate expect from them. If, for example, we live in the seat of Melbourne and elect Adam Brandt, then we surely can’t complain when he tries to vote down boat turn-backs. Here on the Mornington Peninsula, for many years, the majority of people have elected a Liberal MP and have every right to expect that member to reflect that majority view in Canberra. Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Reef ‘not so bad’ It is intriguing to note the continued distortions and untruths about the Great Barrier Reef contained in letters published from those with significant antagonism to our sitting member. [Environment] Minister [Greg] Hunt has cancelled five Labor-approved dredging operations in the reef area which would have dumped the spoils in the reef waters much to it`s detriment. The final dredging undertaking is to have all dredged material dumped on land to minimise any potential damage. It also beggars belief how anyone can claim that run-off from a coal mine several hundred kilometres inland in Queensland could affect the reef. Any such water would run to the centre of the nation.

The run-off issue for the reef comes from farming activity. Would the left/green cohort like to see all farming stopped in the area along with the rest of their nation destroying wishes? This run-off is a difficult issue but it is being addressed. The reef management authority report just released confirms the condition of the reef is nowhere near as dire or serious as the alarmists would have us believe. Today the UN’s top marine official has praised the federal government’s management of the reef. I note also that almost every sign promoting Greg Hunt in the Rye/Sorrento area has been defaced, even though on private property. This demonstrates the moral turpitude of those opposed to the government and its sitting member. Peter Grey, Rye

Two heads are better As you drive around Frankston, you could be forgiven if you think you're in a time warp. The smiling cherubic face of a former member of parliament adorns many strategic and obviously very salubrious staging posts. Perhaps it's dynamic duopoly liberally implanted to remind us to vote for the right person. However, to someone fresh from outside the peninsula, they may be forgiven for thinking that more heads are better than one. One can't help but feel that you get a bigger bang for your bucks with two pollies for the price of one retired polly. Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza

Savings from waste For almost a decade Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has had a commitment to alternative waste technology (AWT) which is a move towards zero management of waste on the peninsula. An indicative estimate of the annual savings for a modern AWT plant that diverts 75 per cent of waste from landfill is $4,789,430. This could be put towards building and operating a plant on the peninsula. The savings is made up from: $1,805,387 not having to pay the EPA landfill levy; $1,238,118 conversion of organic waste to fertiliser, not mulch, by the AWT plant; $1,073,925 differential between local charges and carting off the peninsula; $672,000 for the electricity generated by an AWT which is about three to four times the current electricity generated for 80 households from tip biogas. Graeme Morrison, Rosebud West

Missing in detail I am a swinging voter when the occasion arises and have listed some of my concerns which did not appear on brochures I received from candidates in the Dunkley electorate: Chris Crewther (Liberal) and Peta Murphy (Labor). 1 What are their views on how the community should handle the matters of the protection of human life at all levels of development and decline? 2 What are their views on the teaching sex education to primary age children? 3 What are their views view on marriage? 4 The problems affecting dairy farmers in the milk pricing set by big business and corporations. 5 What is their background in school life and previous employment? In a less serious vein: who on earth designed the postal vote application in the name designation and put the status “Mr” just before “Other” when Mr goes first alphabetically? [Liberal] Bruce Billson served Dunkley well and it was a pity that we have lost him as small business minister to [his replacement] Kelly O'Dwyer who is holding, not only a young baby, but other ministries as well. Not good politics there. We need [to be represented by] more than just a pretty face and an interest in finance. Maureen Federico, Frankston South

Kellie Puddy and everyone else who is taking a stand for the voiceless animals. Bethany Travers, Rosebud West

Words and no action I have contacted Flinders MP Greg Hunt about his 2013 and 2016 pre-election letterboxed literature promises to “protect Phillip Island and the Mornington Peninsula from inappropriate development”. Any fair-minded person would surely have included [plans for] a 6000-a-year monster container ships (3000 in 3000 out) and huge container port at Hastings. He states “we live in a wonderful part of the world and I am passionate about protecting it”. On 26 June 2015, he stood next to [state] Opposition Leader Matthew Guy when Guy said “we believe in the Port of Hastings [container port project] totally” with later words about a non-existent ALP policy to blast Port Phillip Heads. Mr Hunt’s contribution was to state that to dredge for the container port in Western Port would “if at all, need a fraction, a scintilla of that required” to accommodate the non-existent ALP Port Phillip version. Official independent figures have stated a devastating 24 million cubic metres as a minimum. In October 2014 Mr Hunt signed an agreement with Mr Guy, then planning minister in the Liberal state government, effectively handing over his powers under federal environment law to the same government which, if it had been reelected, would already be making a huge mess of the Ramsar treaty internationally protected upper two thirds of Western Port. Signing that agreement would possibly be the worst case of “fox in the henhouse” since the 1960s, when [then premier] Henry Bolte wanted to build a nuclear power station on French Island. The current Liberal campaign is very big on creating “jobs and growth”, so I pointed out to Mr Hunt that Western Port’s $2 billion a year economy already supports thousands of jobs in tourism, recreational fishing and vegetable growing. All of these would be at risk from a container port at Hastings. Kevin Chambers, The Gurdies

Arts supporter We thank Bruce Billson for his efforts as federal Liberal MP for Dunkley, but let's not simply transfer our allegiance to the new Liberal candidate, particularly in light of his earlier comments on penalty rates. We now have Sally Baillieu standing for The Arts Party, a breath of fresh air for Frankston voters. If you're locked in to one of the major party candidates you may like to show your appreciation of how the arts can enhance your lifestyle by putting number 1 against the name of Rose Godde on your Senate voting paper - The Arts Party. Cliff Ellen, Rye Editor: Cliff Ellen is a regular guest on RPP FM’s Arts About? program hosted by Sally Baillieu.

Time for change In response to (“Don’t blame Hunt”, Letters 7/6/16) Alan Reid from Sorrento, arguments are unfortunately embedded in that last-century logic with no vision or “innovation” as the prime minister proudly trumpets. We cannot continue along the fossil fuel path, we all know that. To reach current and proposed RET figures will require a significant uplift and investment in solar and wind, now kicking off in north west Victoria. Infrastructure investment in transmission lines and storage technology to meet load demand “when the sun don’t shine”, as he ineloquently phrases it will enable us to switch off Hazelwood, one of the worst polluting machines in the world. It’s time to think of the next generation and not just the next election. Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Horse support I am writing about the situation at Ace-Hi Ranch at Cape Schanck (“Spurs out over horse cruelty claims”, The News 10/5/16). I am sure others will agree with me when I say that "in a reasonable condition" and in a "moderate" condition is not good enough for the animals at Ace-Hi. The fact that the RSPCA already has a file on AceHi and has had a number of welfare concerns brought to its attention over the past decade should worry the public. I am fully behind [former ranch employee]

Coastal Antiques AFTER working in construction for many years, Hans Van Lieshout and his wife Sara decided it was time for a change. So Hans put his lifelong love of antiques to good use and quickly opened Coastal Antiques in Tyabb. “We opened on December 18, a month or so after we decided to do it,” said Hans. “For many years while I was in construction, I played with the idea of this having dabbled in antiques for over 20 years. Finally my wife said to me you’re not getting any younger so I decided to bite the bullet and here we are.” After a lot of hard work, Hans and Sara opened Coastal Antiques and already have an incredible set up with a huge variety of antiques, Victorian furniture, pottery, retro vintage and collectibles. “We have quite an extensive range with a large area of 250 square metres, two main rooms and a lovely central courtyard.” A lot of the pottery comes from the UK with Coastal Antiques stocking a good variety of Wedgewood and Carltonware, and as Hans points out, anything that’s unusual. “We are unique in our concept of what we do. We have a front shop that is full of antiques, a lovely courtyard which is nice and relaxing and

*Antiques *Vintage *Retro *Buy and Sell *House Clearances a big workshop at the back which is converted into the retro vintage section.” Coastal Antiques is at 1523 Frankston Flinders Road, Tyabb and open every day except Tuesday. Phone 5977 4894.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Jockey hit and killed by motor car Compiled by Melissa Walsh WHILE walking along the road at Carrum at 7.45 on Sunday night last, John Leslie Atkins, 22, a jockey, who lived at Cherry street, Northcote, was run over by a motor car, which passed across his face, fracturing his skull, nose and jaw. He died at Homeopathic Hospital at 11 p.m. the same evening. *** MESSRS Adamson, Strettle and Co., will hold their next sale at Tanti Yards on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of stock including milkers, springers and fat cattle, also sheep and pigs. *** THE “Wattles” Club social and dance takes place this evening in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, and a pleasant evening’s amusement is anticipated. The funds are in aid of the Langwarrin Recreation Hall. *** IN order to augment the funds in aid of the proposed Frankston Roll of Honor, the “Australian” Club propose holding a dance on Saturday evening, 1st JuIy, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall. *** THE death occurred at St. Pancras’ Hospital, Frankston, on Tuesday evening of Henry V. Clements who has been a patient of that institution for some weeks suffering from hemorrhage of the lungs. His parents are residents of Williamstown. ***

AT the City Court on Tuesday, John Patrick Casey, charged with the larceny, at Mordialloc, on 7th June, of drapery valued at £50, the property of the Railway Commissioners, was remanded to appear at Frankston Court on Monday next. *** WE have been shown some excellent samples of paper manufactured at the Australian Paper Mills Company, South Melbourne, from canary seed Millet and the white China Millet, grown by Mr C. E. Liardet, at his oil seed Peanut Farm, Frankston. *** THE Commissioners of the State Savings Bank have decided that depositors who take up war loan debentures for sums from £10 to £100 may lodge such debentures at any branch of the bank for safe custody free of charge, and the interest coupons will be detached half yearly by the bank, the amount being placed to the depositor’s credit. This will be a great convenience to depositors, and will enable them to invest in the war loan and draw their income without any trouble or expense. *** A MEETING of all those interested in the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute is called for Friday afternoon next, at 3 o’clock, for the purpose of discussing ways and means of getting up a bazaar and fair, in aid of its funds. As the trustees went to a big expense last year in building additions to the main building, in the way of a comfortable

reading room and library, it now behoves the residents to do their part in defraying the cost. Since the beginning of the war the committee has been very lenient in the way of remitting rents for the use of the hall for meetings, which have been in any way connected with the various movements for the relief of our soldiers and Allies, at the front, which has led to a considerable decrease in the annual amount raised by this means. Mrs Utber has taken on the onerous duties of honorary secretary to the movement and will be pleased to see a representative gathering of towns people at the meeting next Friday afternoon. *** AMONG the correspondence read at a meeting of the “’Wattles” Club committee, held on Wednesday evening, was a letter from Mr W. M.Pearson, Hon. secretary for trips for wounded soldiers, asking if it would be possible to entertain seventy or eighty returned wounded soldiers at Frankston on July 8th. The secretary (Miss Gray) was instructed to forward Mr Pearson a reply to the effect that he could depend upon a right royal welcome for the boys, from the residents of Frankston. As there is plenty of time ahead to arrange matters, there is no reason why everybody should not make it their business to do their very best to provide a couple of hours’ entertainment to brighten the lives, which they have offered for such a noble cause,

and many of them will risk again, and help them to forget the horrors and among their own kith and kin bring them back to their rational selves. *** THE estimated exportable surplus of wheat in Russia and Romania is set down at 310 million bushels, but so long as the Dardanelles remain closed this wheat is securely locked up in the Black Sea, and cannot be used to meet the requirements of other countries. In addition to this Bulgaria has an exportable surplus of 11½ million bushels. On the other hand we must exclude the requirements of enemy countries. Excluding the Russian, Romanian, and Bulgarian wheat from the list and allowing for supplies which would otherwise have gone to enemy countries, a computation of their surplus wheat available for export in the United States, Canada, Argentina, India and Australia bring the quantity to 1010 million bushels. Whilst we have this surplus of 1.010 million bushels the effective demand is set down at from 561 to 614 million bushels, so that we have nearly double the supply of wheat on hand to meet the demand. *** ANY Old Bones. Bones are not wasted. The chief product is glue, and among other materials which are obtained from them are soap, glycerine, and fertilisers. After being carefully separated by workmen they are

soaked in a weak solution of sulphuric acid. From the soaking tanks the bones emerge white and perfectly clean. They are then placed in steam tanks, where, after being subjected to a pressure of steam for several hours, a trap door is opened at the bottom of the digester, as it is called and the liquid glue that has been extracted is drawn off. The liquid glue is partly evaporated and a portion is allowed to harden for commercial use as glue, and a part is refined and sold for gelatine for table use. *** AT the invitation of the Red Cross workers of Mt Eliza, about thirty sick and wounded soldiers came to afternoon tea on Wednesday 14th inst. The tea was given at Glen Shian, which was en fete for the occasion. The drive was gay with bunting and over the gateway a banner was displayed with ‘’Welcome to our Boys”, in red, white and blue. The workers came early, all eager to help, and were waiting to cheer the soldiers when they arrived, in motors, about 3 o’clock. They were soon comfortably seated on the verandah, enjoying the sunshine, also the cigars and cigarettes provided, and listening with evident pleasure to the songs and gramophone selections. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 17 June, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Meditations on a man cave

By Stuart McCullough IT’S done. After months and months of procrastination for which no one other than myself can reasonably be held responsible, it’s finally finished. Or, depending on your point of view, it’s as finished as it’s ever going to be. The spare room at our place that, until now, has been a dumping ground for everything from unpacked boxes of books to low-level nuclear waste, has now been wholly transformed. It no longer has to suffer the ignominy of looking like a glorified closet or one of those rooms you’d expect to see featured on a ‘tenants from hell’ expose on tabloid telly. Nor does it need to be hidden from view, lest it should bring shame to the rest of the house. Not any more. I speak, of course, of the one room of the house that belongs to me and me alone. But before you demand more details and a full-frontal room reveal, I must sound a note of caution. This is not a mere case of re-decoration. It is more a re-birth. In fact, so powerful is this extraordinary metamorphosis that it may no longer be a room in the conventional sense at all. Instead, it may now be a ‘man-cave’. You ought to see it. Shelves run like veins across the walls and are stuffed full of hundreds of books and CDs. I love nothing more than to be surrounded by them. Musical instruments lie slumped in the corners like exhausted boxers and a large desk floats in the middle of the room, a life raft on a sea of carpet. It looks, in a word, busy. Vinyl records, a picture of ‘Dogs Playing Poker’: it’s a space that definitely ticks

PAGE 44

a lot of ‘man-cave’ boxes. That said, there are some obvious shortcomings that must be confronted if the place is ever going to realize its full man-cave potential. For starters, there’s no sporting memorabilia. The plain truth is, there’s nothing within the four walls of my so-called man cave that celebrates ei-

Western Port News 14 June 2016

ther my or anyone else’s athletic prowess in any way whatsoever. I used to have several swimming certificates I earned during primary school, but these have long been swallowed by the mists of time, even if I do still describe these on my curriculum vitae as ‘post graduate qualifications’. I do recall

collecting Scanlon’s footy cards for one season, succeeding only in securing the less popular half of Carlton’s 1984 team. Even if I could find those cards now, I’d resist the temptation to frame them. It’s not that I don’t own any sporting trophies. It’s more that the only ones I was ever awarded are suitably tiny, as befits the scale of my achievements. I don’t think of them so much as statues so much as stature; namely very, very small. Indeed, they’re the kind of awards that invite mockery rather than admiration. My sixteen-yearold nephew’s sporting trophies look like skyscrapers. Were our respective awards to get into a fight, his would win, gold-painted hands down. Currently, my trophies reside in my father’s study, between the ostrich egg he managed to get through customs in 1962 and the souvenir Corningware that celebrates the wedding of Charles and Dianna. As odd as it may sound to say, it’s where they belong. I couldn’t possibly move them now. Nor do I have anything in the way of hunting trophies. My room is the world that taxidermy forgot, bereft of so much as a stuffed rabbit, much less an elk or antelope. In these enlightened times, perhaps that’s just as well. The only thing I hunt for are bargains, but no-one stuffs and mounts a pair of discounted Explorer socks on the wall. No one. Granted, picking up three pairs of these beauties for eight bucks a pop is an achievement of some substance that, in a better world, would be celebrated, but perhaps not in the man cave.

I don’t own a novelty chair, either. Be it a tractor seat welded to a crankshaft, an oversized faux gorilla hand or a piece of old growth timber, I am woefully deficient in the area of unique seating. Currently, I’m using whatever I can grab from the dining room. An odd chair’s not the only think I’m missing. Come to think of it, I don’t have a jukebox, bar or big screen television. There’s nary a pool table or pinball machine in sight. Nor have I nailed a number plate from Texas, California or Utah into the plaster. The more I think about it, the more I realize just how short of the mark I am. Perhaps that’s all right. Maybe there’s no shame to be had in falling short in the man-cave stakes. If I’m being honest, I struggle a bit with the term ‘man-cave’. Perhaps the blatant gender specificity makes it seem too exclusory. Instead, I might use the Brady method. Brady Bunch patriarch and professional perm enthusiast Mike Brady didn’t have a man-cave. He had a den. It was a place to keep blueprints and dispense meaningful advice to children. There were no decapitated woodland creatures hanging from the wall. Just a few books, a couch that’d seen plenty of better days and a painting that looked as if it might well have been souvenired from a Holiday Inn. It was a sanctuary; a place where a man (permed or otherwise) could feel safe and wear a polyester shirt underneath an oversized cardigan. It’s time to surrender my man-cave aspirations. I am, it seems, a den kind of guy. So be it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sharks fight back with win over Eagles PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt BONBEACH is just half a game outside of the top five after a convincing win against neighbour Edithvale-Aspendale in Peninsula League on Saturday. The Sharks came from 12 points down at quarter time and three points down at the last change to win 13.9 (87) to 9.9 (63). Luke Damon was at his vintage best for the Sharks with three goals while Chris Bryan and Shane McDonald played important roles with two goals each to help seal the victory. While the win brought the Sharks to within half a game of fifth spot, the loss came at a cost for the Eagles. Edithvale went into the clash with five wins from seven matches and really could have consolidated its place in the top bracket with a win. The Eagles would have gone within percentage of second place and would have locked them into the top five. However, the loss throws the Eagles back into the mix with the likes of Karingal, Seaford and Bonbeach, who are all vying for the final two places in the five. Bonbeach coach Steve Hughes said it was “probably” his side’s best performances for the year. “Our win against Mt Eliza was pretty good too. You don’t play badly against them and win,” said Hughes. “It was a very important game in the context of our season. The win puts us right back in the mix.

“We changed it up a bit last week and Chris Bull (former league champion) took training and reminded the boys of how long it has been since we have beaten Edithvale (about four years). “Chris stripped things back and the boys really enjoyed it. “We had to be a little patient throughout the match and wait for things to open up a bit, which they did for us in the last quarter. “We were minus 28 from stoppages in the previous two weeks and we needed to get better in that area. “We threw in some older heads in Gary Carpenter and Mark Tyrrell, along with Jackson Casey and Dylan Jones and they did the job for us in there,” said Hughes. The only dampener of a solid day for Bonbeach was the injury to Mick Alexander. Alexander dislocated and broke his elbow after falling awkwardly in a rucking contest. “The boys were pretty flat about it. Mick is a really popular and highly respected person around the club,” said Hughes. “He’s predominantly been a reserves player with us but we spoke to him at the end of last season and told him that we thought he could be a regular senior player. “Mick dropped more than 10kg in the pre-season and has been a great support for ‘DJ’ (Dylan Jones) this season. “We’ll lose him for the season I suspect but he loves the game and has a real thirst for knowledge – he’ll be back bigger and better next season,” said Hughes.

Rye back on track after beating Sorrento NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt HOW quickly the wheel can turn in our great game. A fortnight ago, Rye Football Club was on its knees after being thrashed by Frankston Bombers. That loss came on the back of a drubbing against Sorrento and a last quarter capitulation against Red Hill the week before. Rye was on struggle street. Fast forward a couple of weeks and the Demons have beaten top of the table Hastings and turned the tables on premiership fancies Sorrento in consecutive weeks. It was Rye’s first win against Sorrento at Sorrento for more than 10 years. Wins against Hastings and Sorrento have come on the back of a convincing win against Somerville earlier in the season and a draw against Rosebud in round one. As Rye coach Josh Moore said following the win against Sorrento on Saturday, “our best is good enough to beat anyone in the competition”. At Shark Park on Saturday, the Demons led for the majority of the afternoon to beat its biggest foe 9.14 (68) to 8.10 (58). It was an almost 80 point turnaround from the RPP Match of the Day between these sides less than a month ago. Nobody can dispute Moore’s claims that the Demons’ best is good enough – clearly it is. One just wonders where the effort and application of the past two weeks was for the few weeks prior.

Surely it didn’t take an article questioning the club in the The News three weeks ago to kick start the Rye season? Surely it couldn’t have been as simple as that. On Saturday, the Rye win came on the back of some new faces in the team. There was no question that the players in the team three weeks ago weren’t getting the job done. First gamer Luke Davies-Uniacke booted three goals for the winners and was one of the keys in the victory. Nick Baron, who plays predominantly in the twos, was important in the win. While Nathan Henley and Ryan Mullett rarely put in a bad performance. James Appleford has been in some good form of late and together with Jimmy Jennings, they were catalysts in the victory. Dean Millhouse also hit the scoreboard with a couple of majors, which is what the Demons have lacked – support for Matthew Greig. Sorrento went into the game without key players Scott Lockwood and Leigh Treeby. The youngsters who dominated a few weeks back weren’t as up and about, although Josh Brigden again successfully carried out the job on Greig. Nick Corp played a lone hand in attack with a couple of goals but there were no more multiple contributors. Luke Tapscott worked hard and Ryan Potter and Tyrren head both had strong performances, while Joey Boase has settled into senior footy nicely for the Sharks.

Demons back from the brink: Rye have turned around their fortunes in a matter of weeks. Picture: Andrew Hurst
