Thousands flock to watch sky ‘warriors’ THEY may be noisy and, technically, outdated and slow, but there’s no doubting the fascination of old warplanes. Thousands of spectators flocked to Tyabb airfield on Sunday to watch a collection of “Winged Warriors” take to the sky in a display that’s part showmanship (stunt planes blowing smoke) and part aeronautical genius. However, while many of the planes at the Peninsula Aero Club’s biennial event are privately owned, the RAAF sent down a modern C-17A Globemaster III which put on a dramatic display of low flying and a final flypast at 300 knots. But it wasn’t all eyes skyward all the time as there were plenty of planes available for inspection on the ground dated from the 1930s to the 1950s. Nearby was a display of classic cars of the same vintage. More pictures by Gary Sissons Page 13
Danger area alerts for ambos Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ALTHOUGH parts of Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have been flagged as areas of risk for paramedics, none have been declared “no-go” zones. Described as being “like pieces in a pie” by Ambulance Victoria, the 105 areas in Frankston, Mornington, Rye and Hastings and surrounds are listed because of past incidents of violence,
or ongoing safety concerns. Most flags relate to where paramedics have previously been attacked by patients with mental health issues, use drugs or own a firearm. Despite the dangers, paramedics will be dispatched to these addresses with police being asked for back up. One example given to The News involves patients who are known to bite or kick. Without a police presence, the bottom line is: if paramedics feel in dan-
ger, they won’t go. A metropolitan newspaper last week reported that the list of paramedic danger zones had tripled in some suburbs in just five years, with paramedics routinely refusing to respond to calls for help without a police escort. The number of addresses regarded as unsafe or violent was said to have risen by almost 25 per cent across the state in the same time. The surge in trouble spots is reported to coincide with a rise in violence sur-
rounding the increasing use of ice. The documents released to the newspaper under freedom on information showed 54 paramedics were assaulted or confronted with violence in 42 days last October and November. Dandenong has 34 flagged locations, the most of any postcode in Victoria, followed by Frankston 29, Reservoir 27, Cranbourne and Greater Geelong, 22, West Footscray 21 and Heidelberg 18. Mornington has 14. Outside the city Greater Bendigo, Greater Ballarat

and the Latrobe Valley each have 12. Other areas of the peninsula, such as Rosebud West and Hastings, and, to a lesser extent Seaford, Langwarrin, Mt Eliza, Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento, Bittern, Baxter, and Crib Point, are also flagged after previous episodes of violence or safety issues. The flags might also relate to the presence of defibrillators, frequent callers, hints on accessing property, and patient medical information. Continued Page 9

Area of concern: Clay mining operations at the Bayport quarry, Pottery Rd, Somerville, have residents up in arms. Picture: Yanni
Growing discontent over clay quarry Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A “GROWING sense of outrage” is being felt by residents opposed to escalating clay mining operations at the Bayport Industries quarry, Somerville. Tyabb Ratepayers’ Group members last week met Mornington Peninsula Shire managers overseeing economic development, planning, and compliance to discuss their concerns over works in Pottery Rd. They will mwith the Department of Economic Development, shire officers and local MPs later this month. Bayport has signalled its intention to attend, although this could not be confirmed as when contacted by The News the company offered a firm: “No comment.” Residents are angry that clay mining on 60 acres in the middle of a low-density residential area is allowed. “How can this have been permitted
without any consultation with the community?” spokesperson Alan Robinson asked. “And, more importantly, in the interests of the environment, residential amenity and community health and safety, what can be done about it?” The group acknowledges that the mining operator has a permit to mine clay issued to the original owners by the Shire of Hastings in 1964, and reconfirmed in 2008 through non-conforming use rights. But the residents say public notification of the mining approvals has “flown under the radar”. Mr Robinson said residents over the past 20-30 years were aware of a fenced-off area at the end of Pottery Rd, but were assured by council that the once-small pottery, then inactive, and had no plans to re-start. “Even if council was wrong at that time, and the pottery was being operated from time to time, it must have been at such a low level as to be almost
unnoticeable,” he said. Mr Robinson said the original permit was for a much smaller block than the 60 acres now being mined. “While nobody is saying that Bayport, the mining operator, doesn’t have a right to do what they are doing, the increased intensity of the renewed operation and its effect on the amenity and safety of the community is of great concern to a growing number of people,” he said. The group is seeking copies of the work plan for the site and other documents relating to its operation from Bayport and the Department of Environment, Jobs, Transport and Resources. “However, Bayport has indicated they are not willing to supply this information as ‘the documents you seek contain both confidential and private information to our employees and company IP [intellectual property]’,” Mr Robinson says he was told.
“So, the community will need to request this information under FOI, which could take some time and, in the meantime, it does not have a clear idea of how the mine will actually operate.” Residents have had a taste of this previously, with an increase in activities last October resulting in a large number of trucks, loaded with clay, travelling down Pottery, Jones and Bungower roads. “Every day, I get letters from concerned residents asking either to join the residents’ group or just expressing their outrage and dismay at the impact of this operation on their lifestyles, and safety,” Mr Robinson said. One resident wrote: ‘We have been here 29 years and are dismayed at what is happening to our quiet little area. We cannot believe that council has allowed the mining to take place without any notification to surrounding residents. “We were overseas last year and returned to find the land of the pottery
works had been levelled, and we were horrified. The noise from the machinery and the dust nearly drove us insane.’ “The point is that, when the original permit was issued in 1964, the population of Somerville was around 700 people. It was an entirely rural landscape,” Mr Robinson said. “Move forward 44 years to 2008 and the population and environs had already increased to more than 11,000, and continues to grow exponentially. Community health and safety is now a real concern. “This is now a low-density residential area, and the impact of the mine will be felt not just by those who live on adjoining properties, but by all who live on the mine’s transport routes, or use surrounding streets to access schools, work, and the township. “And, as there is no end point to the permit, the clay mine can run for the life of the resource which could be 100 years.”

A mother’s love helps daughter find new life after ice addiction THE past five years have been a challenge for Kerrie Knight and her family. As a mother of four teenagers she was always going to feel stressed, but these natural feelings paled into insignificance when the realisation dawned that her daughter, Indya, was an ice addict. Although Indya’s future is anything but certain, she has worked through two stints of extensive drug rehabilitation, and is now making a new life for herself in the Northern Territory. Mrs Knight first spoke publicly at a forum held by Peninsula Voice and Mornington Peninsula Shire attended by 450 guests. The forum generated huge interest in the drug which is largely misunderstood. “Family support is what has kept my daughter alive and our ultimate goal is to build a local support network to help families when things get tough. This is what was missing when I needed help,” Mrs Knight, of Mornington, said. “Drug addiction is an illness that requires long-term treatment – it is not a moral failing.” “Kerrie and Indya’s story is very powerful but, unfortunately, not unique,” Peninsula Voice chairperson Peter Orton said. “Kerrie didn’t choose to have an ice-addicted daughter. She has endured a tough challenge and, as a

parent myself, I can’t image how difficult the past five years has been for her and her family. “What is particularly inspiring, though, is how Kerrie has responded. She has decided to do something about it. It is not dissimilar to the story of Rosie Batty taking up the fight for change on family violence.” Mrs Knight said drug addiction was indiscriminate and had nothing to
do with socio-economic conditions, education or background. “Over the past five years Indya has overdosed five times and, based on my experience, she is lucky to still be alive,” she said. “What was lacking in our approach was the knowledge and skill to support her without enabling her addiction. “Simply advising young people

Fatal crash at McCrae EMERGENCY services rushed to the scene after a car crashed and burst into flames in McCrae, Tuesday afternoon. Police were told the car was travelling south along the Mornington Peninsula Freeway near Lonsdale St about 5.15pm. It left the road and crashed into a tree before bursting into flames. The male driver and sole occupant died at the scene. Anyone who saw the crash should contact Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.
Another bike death POLICE attended another fatal motorcycle accident – this time in Somerville – Tuesday night. The bike and a Ford utility collided head-on on FrankstonFlinders Rd about 8.30pm. The male rider, who was yet to be formally identified, died at the scene. The male driver of the utility received minor injuries and was taken to the Frankston hospital.
Cars set alight A Carrum Downs man allegedly set fire to a car at Frankston station, 9.20am Wednesday. The flames quickly spread to three other cars causing substantial damage. They will all probably be written-off, police said. Detective Leading Senior Constable Richard Brown, of Frankston CIU, described the incident as a “random attack” in which the offender, 36, caught a bus to the station from Carrum Downs and wandered among cars parked in Fletcher Rd. He then threw petrol over one car and lit it. The man was charged with arson and causing criminal damage by fire. He appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court that day and was bailed to appear at the same court, 7 April.

not to take drugs is not the answer: I believe family and community are the key elements to help deliver education, early intervention and harm minimisation.” Mrs Knight believes lack of a family support network is a “huge gap in the community”. “This would provide a chance to debrief and learn the vital skills of how to support our loved ones without enabling them to continue abusing or harming themselves,” she said. “The trauma of drug addiction has a ripple effect on family members; it does impact on their mental health. “Unfortunately, because of the stigma attached to addiction, we don’t feel comfortable talking about it. We fear judgment as a parent – and this has to change. “We need more open conversation, not less.” Peninsula Voice has decided to continue education in the community and will support Mrs Knight in running a series of free addiction education sessions, in conjunction with the national Family Drug Support. Indya features on the official breaktheice.nt.gov.au website advising communities on how they can combat ice addiction. The Mornington Stepping Forward evening education sessions begin Monday 21 March.

Truck traffic warning for reservoir works OVER the next 12 months Tyabb reservoir will be turned into two independently operating water basins. The works will allow workers from Melbourne Water to install two linings and covers while the old cover and lining is removed. The covers and linings are designed to protect the quality of the drinking water piped from Cardinia Reservoir or Tarago treatment plant. Melbourne Water has warned there will be extensive truck movements 7am-6pm, Monday to Friday. Approval is being sought for the trucks to operate 7am-1pm on Saturdays. Bulk earthworks during what’s described as “an intensive period of 60-100 truck movements each day” – will take place between May and August.

Trucks will enter and exit the reservoir along Flood St. In 1999 the basin received a polypropylene cover, which complied with Melbourne Water’s “closed system standard” on covering service reservoirs. The basin was lined inside with a similar material. Age and condition mean the existing cover and liner need replacing. Melbourne Water says the works “will ensure the safety and quality of the water is maintained to a high standard”. The man-made reservoir is 300 metres by 200 metres – or 60,000 square metres – with a total storage capacity of 317 million litres. It was built by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission in 1978. Melbourne Water became the owner in 1991.
THE Peninsulas FRESHEST MARKET
Saturday 19th March 9am to 2pm
Easter line closures on the level BUSES will replace trains on a section of the Frankston line from Friday 25 March until Monday 5 April as part of the Labor state government’s commitment to remove eleven level crossings along the line. Premier Daniel Andrews says an “Easter blitz” to remove three level crossings – at Ormond, McKinnon and Bentleigh – means the works at those three sites will be completed ahead of the original schedule of mid-2017. Buses will shuttle passengers between Mordialloc and Caulfield stations. Ormond and McKinnon Stations will also be closed for up to five months so they can be demolished and completely rebuilt but trains will be
able to run along the Frankston line during these works. “More than 500 staff will work round the clock this Easter, so these dangerous crossings are gone and these new stations are built months ahead of schedule – we’re getting on with it,” Mr Andrews said. Roads Minister Luke Donnellan thanked passengers for their patience “while we get rid of these congested death-traps”. “There will be disruption, but it’s nothing compared to the congestion, delay and distress these crossings cause every day.” See Public Transport Victoria’s site at ptv.vic. gov.au to plan train journeys on any given day.

New figures confirm overspending SHIRE staff have given councillors revised details of their spending on seminars and conferences during the current council term that began in late 2012, as directed at a meeting last month. The new information will not be made public until about 24 March, after councillors have met and discussed the figures. The News believes the revised information will require at least one councillor to repay a substantial sum above the $4000 a year each councillor can spend over their four-year term. The amount of the overspend is not known. Two councillors, David Gibb and Antonella Celi, were attributed with overspending in a shire briefing note given to councillors in January. Those figures were strongly criticised by councillors as being inaccurate at a council meeting held on 22 February. However, one obvious inaccuracy – assuming the January shire figures are remotely accurate – was spending attributed to Red Hill ward councillor Tim Wood, elected to council after the resignation of Frank Martin in mid-2014. The shire document recorded more than $8000 against Cr Wood’s name over 2012-13 and 2013-14, despite his not joining council until late August 2014. Then councillor Martin was absent from council duties for nearly six months, from 9
December 2013 to 19 May 2014, then resigned days later. Councillors discussed the allowance spending after a report in The News (“Council nod to lift expenses”, 9/2/2016), which was based on the shire’s January figures. They voted to direct staff to produce the new figures detailing each councillor’s spending on seminars and conferences by last Thursday, 10 March. Councillors sought the amount of each payment; the date each was paid; to whom it was paid; and the goods or services provided. The motion was approved 7-0 with three abstentions. A subsequent motion expanded the original requirement to cover all councillor spending over every area of allowances. This presumably was provided last Thursday and will be released at the same time as the seminars and conferences figures. Councillors then voted to require any councillor found to have overspent their seminars and conferences allowance to repay the money within six months. The seeming softness of shire accounting for at least the seminars and conferences allowance sits strangely with the normal rigid precision of shire accounts,
which reconcile million-dollar projects down to the last cent. How payments to councillors of any allowance could transgress prescribed limits by thousands of dollars does not sit squarely with this standard. And how any councillor could fail to control their spending to this extent is another puzzle. Ultimately, councillors have responsibility to watch their spending. Application for amounts above $2000 for seminars and conferences must come to council meetings for approval. The applicant councillor leaves the chamber while the item is discussed. The shire staff report on the matter states that the sum sought does not take the councillor over his or her allowance limit. Sums under $2000 do not need such public approval. A prudent financial housekeeper, either councillor or shire officer, would surely record such spending and then keep a running tally, especially as the spending limit approaches. But word is that councillor allowances have not been so strictly administered, with cash taken from a pool rather than from individual fund allocations. This is said to have been the practice in the time of the previous administration. If this is so, one wonders how such a practice could have eluded the piercing gaze of the shire auditors.

Park’s dog ban thrills plover fans THE future of the threatened hooded plover is brighter with dogs to be banned in Mornington Peninsula National Park from November. The park includes the coast between London Bridge and Bushrangers Bay, plus a stretch from Stockyard Creek to Flinders, and also an area north of Cape Schanck called Greens Bush. Presently, dog walking is allowed in about 14 kilometres of the park’s 42-kilometre coastline. Now they will be banned throughout the entire park. Dogs are blamed for destroying hooded plover habitat and chicks. Birdlife Australia is reported as saying data from the Mornington Peninsula National Park showed that 70 per cent of hooded plover chicks were successfully fledged in areas where dogs were prohibited. Beach nesting birds project officer with Birdlife Australia Renee Mead told the Age, Friday, that the dog ban was great news. “We welcome this announcement ... these
birds on the Mornington Peninsula have one of the highest concentrations and lowest rates of breeding success,” she said. Other experts said the ban would allow plovers the chance to “regenerate” as whole areas could now be fox-baited, which was risky when dogs were allowed in the park. Environment Minister Lisa Neville said dogs would soon not be permitted in ecologically sensitive areas where hooded plovers breed. She said dogs and hooded plovers don’t mix. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the ban was a “great outcome”. “It was just wrong that, in a national park with a threatened species, you still had dogs allowed there.” He said the move would make it easier for rangers to enforce dog bans “rather than having complex rules of when you can or can’t walk your dog”. He said he hoped Parks Victoria would be properly funded to unsure the ban could be enforced effectively. Stephen Taylor

Centre signs on against violence Port or airport PENINSULA Community Legal Centre commemorated International Women’s Day last Tuesday (8 March) by signing a statement of its intention to commit to creating a community that is safe and accessible for women and their children. Donned in white, purple and green, the centre’s staff took a break from their day to meet in the boardroom to witness the centre’s signing of The Peninsula Model’s ‘Creating Safety, Equality and Respect in our Community: a Catchment Wide Strategy to Prevent Violence against Women and their Children’. Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership prevention and community engagement coordinator John Baker said The Peninsula Model is part of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership. “This is a catchment-based partnership between a range of health and community service organisations, key stakeholders, consumers, carers and communities throughout Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. The partnership is working on addressing gender equity and the prevention of violence against women and their children at the policy and practice level within organisations.” Its strategy includes the vision “for women and their children to live free from violence; feel safe and respected, valued and heard in their relationships, workplaces and within the community. We strive for every woman, man and child in the Frankston Mornington Peninsula catchment to have equal access to opportunities that enable them to reach their potential and participate fully in the social, economic and cultural aspects of their lives.”

Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway said violence against women and girls remains prevalent. “Last year, more than a quarter of our clients reported family violence. We helped many women by providing free legal advice and assistance, including duty lawyer services at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court and Dandenong Family Law Courts. “We have recently welcomed interim additional funding for 2016-17 from the Victorian government, which is enhancing our ability to provide legal help to people dealing with family violence. Our centre also provides community legal education about
family violence and actively supports local family violence networks and partnerships.” Peninsula Community Legal Centre is a not-for-profit organisation that provides free advice on many legal issues, with ongoing assistance available for clients experiencing disadvantage. In addition to its family violence services and general legal services, the centre also operates specialist programs in family law, child support, tenant and consumer advocacy and rooming house outreach, which also frequently assist clients experiencing family violence. For more information about free legal services see pclc.org.au or call 9783 3600.
THE possibility of a commercial airport at Hastings is still up in the air and many peninsula residents who contacted The Times after this month’s previous article (‘Airport plan takes flight’, The News 1/3/16) believe the plan will not fly but Frankston Council is serious about its suggestion for a south east airport in the Mornington Peninsula suburb. Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley has written to Premier Daniel Andrews asking the Labor state government to consult independent authority Infrastructure Victoria about the feasibility of an airport in Hastings. In the letter dated 1 March Mr Dooley says land between Hastings and Somerville, about 2000 hectares known as the ‘Long Island Precinct’, earmarked for a container site for the Port of Hastings could be rezoned as “the location for a south east airport”. Frankston Council still wants the Port of Hastings development to proceed despite Labor’s preference for a port at Bay West near Geelong. The state government was finally able to pass legislation approving the sale of a 50-year lease for the Port of Melbourne and plans to use the expected $6 billion to fund its promise to remove 50 level crossings across Victoria’s rail network including 11 on the Frankston line. Cr Dooley believes the Port of Hast-
ings option is not dead in the water and the Port of Melbourne legislation passed last week leaves the door open to an expansion of the Port of Hastings. “We hope that the Victorian government will receive independent advice from Infrastructure Victoria, on the best location for a second container port,” he said. “The ideal location for this second container port would be the Port of Hastings, which meets all of the needs for a major container port and would result in major employment creation across the south east region.” If the Port of Hastings expansion does not proceed Frankston Council says the government should look at an airport for the area. “It is timely for the Victorian government to explore all of the potential opportunities to transform the Port of Hastings into a significant transport hub to strengthen the economy of our growing region,” Cr Dooley said. “We will be meeting with representatives from the South East Melbourne Group of Councils later this month, to present a letter addressed to them, and discuss the opportunities that a regional airport will present for our entire region”. The South East Melbourne Group of Councils includes the shires of Mornington Peninsula, Bass Coast and Cardinia and the cities of Frankston, Kingston, Greater Dandenong and Casey.

RSPCA makes cat call A CAMPAIGN to find new homes for lost cats is in full swing, with Mornington Peninsula Shire launching PURRfect Match at the animal shelter in Watts Rd. “We are constantly looking for ways to increase pet adoption and, to this end, work closely with other animal management and adoption agencies like the RSPCA,� Environment Protection manager David Dobroszczyk said. “PURRfect Match is designed to find new homes for the many cats – around 700 – that find their way into our animal shelter each year.� Mr Dobroszczyk said the number had remained static in recent times, with most lost pets reunited with their owners through microchipping, and because of social media. The shire has worked with the RSCPA and other animal welfare

groups to boost pet adoption numbers. “Adopting a pet can be very rewarding for both you and your new pet,� the RSPCA’s Michelle Eeles said. “Not only will you be providing it a safe and happy home, but in return, you gain a loving companion and a new member of your family.� To encourage people to take part, normal fees for adult cat adoption have been cut to $130. This includes registration, veterinary check, microchipping, vaccinations and desexing. It is hoped the Purrfect Match campaign is as successful as the recent ‘Hounds into Homes’ adoption program.

Agreement on marine safety approach
Police protection for at risk ambos
The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard and the Boating Industry Association of Victoria (BIAV) have supported a review of the current structure of marine safety activities in Victoria to strengthen the organisation and sustainability of the volunteer marine rescue services. In a meeting with the Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett and Victoria’s Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley, both the BIAV and the Volunteer Coast Guard raised the importance of having a coordinated approach with all marine rescue services and the development of an efficient interface between volunteer services and government agencies. “The meeting with Minister Garrett and Craig Lapsley, responsible for developing a new framework for marine safety in Victoria, provided an important opportunity for the Volunteer Coast Guard to put forward concerns in relation to future funding programs and the need for a coordinated framework,� Volunteer Coast Guard squadron board advisor Richard Burgess said. “We have also raised the issue of the importance that any new framework needed to provide the opportunity for the volunteer marine rescue operation in Victoria to retain a strong community identity.� Mr Burgess said that as a result of the meeting with Mr Garrett and the almost immediate commencement of a consultation process, the Volunteer Coast Guard has ceased its campaign of restricted services. Steven Potts, CEO of the Boating Industry Association of Victoria said the Volunteer Coast Guard, with over 750 volunteers, along with other marine rescue groups and Victoria Police were a major and vital part of the boating and marine industry in Victoria. Mr Potts said the development of a new
Continued from Page 1 Safety warnings could be as innocuous as alerting paramedics to a steep block, narrow driveway, or whether a nearby oil refinery might make the use of walkietalkies dangerous. Ambulance Victoria acting general manager emergency operations Mick Stephenson said staff safety was paramount. “We do not tolerate any violence or aggression towards our staff,� he said. “We are continually reviewing our systems to provide the safest possible work environment for paramedics. “No paramedic is expected to enter a scene where violence is likely or suspected.� Mr Stephenson said 9331 special patient information records were in the system in October. Of these, 816 related to aggressive situations, with 39 stating police “may be required�. A further 355 records related to safety, with 47 records stating police “may be required�. Ambulance Employees Association state secretary Steve McGhie said violence towards paramedics was caused by drug-affected people, including ice users, but he also blamed domestic violence and alcohol abuse. He said about one paramedic a day was being abused or assaulted. “Paramedics should certainly not put themselves at risk because there’s no benefit to anyone if they get smacked up or stabbed or shot at.� Mr McGhie called for a “no tolerance� education campaign and for more people with mental health or drug issues who assault emergency workers to be charged so the courts could judge the extent of mitigating circumstances.

framework for the Marine Rescue Operations in Victoria was an important foundation for the marine industry in Victoria, which contributes $4.5 billion annually to the State economy with safety on the water underpinning consumer confidence. “Apart from the emergency services provided, the volunteer marine rescue organisations play an important role in their local communities. “Currently 95 per cent of the 172,000 of Victorian recreation vessels are trailered, less than 8 metres in length with 68 per cent of registered boats being operated on Port Phillip and Western Port Bays.
“The projected increase of the population in the central coast area of Victoria, including Port Phillip and Western Port, from 4.6 million to nearly 8 million by 2050, will see a doubling of boating activities. The BIAV see the framework now being developed by the Victorian government as part of ensuring we have a robust and sustainable marine rescue service for future generations.� Mr Potts said the BIAV looked forward to working with the state government and the Volunteer Coast Guard through the consultation process.

Day at the beach: The surfers try their best and, if they cop a soaking, clamber back on board (top) during the Saturday 5 March event held by the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers” Association. As well as relying on the power of the sea to provide waves, the day at Point Leo succeeded due to the power supplied by hundreds of volunteers, cheerfully helping about 120 people with disabilities find out how it feels to ride a wave. Part of the small army of volunteers kept a steady stream of barbecued sausages flowing onto the beach while photographers snapped every surfer and their support teams.
Inspiration found in power of the surf Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au HARNESSING energy is the key to a successful day of surfing at Point Leo: people power and wave power. Saturday 5 March was overcast all morning; there was a small swell and southerly winds. Not the best forecast for good surf or a day on the beach. But from just after dawn cars and vans began arriving at Point Leo. Trestle tables were set up, barbecues fired up and tents erected. A small fleet of wheelchairs was lined up just outside the lifesaving clubhouse. The wheelchairs are the clue to the day’s event, a day of surfing for a group of people who are denied easy access to this one of life’s pleasures. The Mornington Peninsula branch
of the Disabled Surfers’ Association is holding its second, and final, event for the year. With up to 300 volunteers needed to help about 140 disabled people have fun in the waves, it seems like a lot of effort. But the level of enjoyment is reflected in the faces of everyone involved. In keeping with its motto, the Disabled Surfers’ Association is putting “smiles on dials”. Gradually the car park fills. Hundreds of volunteers checking in to obtain wetsuits and coloured vests. Most wear blue, although there is red for team leaders and green for marshals. The necessity for colour coding becomes clear once the surfing begins. Before that happens, the “participants”, or surfers, also arrive. They come in cars, mini buses
bearing the names of organisations catering for the disabled and vans fitted with wheelchair ramps. It is not necessary to describe their disabilities, although it’s fair to say they are many and varied, physical and mental. When it's their turn for surf, some of these surfers walk to the water’s edge, others arrive in the wide-wheeled beach wheelchairs, some are carried. They wear bright yellow vests. Their faces all tell a story. There are smiles, looks of apprehension; some are unable to make facial expressions or even talk. The physical side of their surfing is just as diverse. Some lie on the surfboards (on their backs and fronts), some stand or kneel. Others are carefully placed in specially-built bean bag “chairs” that gently mould into

shape to support their bodies. There are wetsuits like large socks that cover two legs at once. Such a constriction would be a real problem for someone whose legs worked individually; for someone whose legs do not work at all, the neoprene sock provides warmth. No matter what the disability, these people are out to enjoy themselves. They come with carers and families (the ones in grey vests). Brothers and sisters take obvious delight in seeing their sibling lapping up the attention and enjoyment. Participating. The actual surfing is carefully managed. Two lines of volunteers (blue vests) create a safe channel to the shore. Most often a team leader (red vest) will lie at the back of the board, steadying and steering it as it is pushed shoreward.
And the surfer, who has adopted whatever position is possible on the flat board, is suddenly transported into a realm that’s not possible in a swimming pool. The raw energy of a wave created by wind thousands of miles away is being expended on a beach within Western Port. That wave’s final act carries to shore whatever dreams and feelings the surfer may have. They ride on a wave of natural energy, safe in the knowledge that helping hands are a few centimetres away should an upset occur. And sometimes those upsets, wipeouts, happen. But it is happiness that shows on the faces of the surfers who, for one small moment slip into the white water, a watery realm that only a surfer knows, and loves.

All ashore: Passengers disembark at Tooraddin, left, after a cruise in the north eastern arm of Western Port which went as far as Stockyard Point, below left, populated by one fisherman and seabirds waiting for the tide to drop. Directly opposite, on French Island, below right, there was nothing to disturb the resident pied oystercatchers.
No lack of conversation on Western Port cruise Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au DEMAND for berths has been so great that organisers have arranged another cruise. There’s no captain’s table or, indeed, individual berths, let alone showers, bars and swimming pools. But at $10 a head last Tuesday’s (8 March) trip around Western Port organised by the Western Port Catchment Committee is obviously seen as a bargain. The committee is an affiliate of the Western Port Biosphere Foundation. The trip provides a chance for experts – professional and amateur – to share their thoughts and knowledge with other like-minded souls who are interested in the ecology of the bay. Even using the word bay to describe the large body of water bounded by Mornington Peninsula to the west and the Bass Coast to the east can spark discussion and admonishment. It
seems the officially gazetted name is Western Port, without any “bay”. Another argument revolves around politicians constantly referring to Western Port being a natural deep water port. Not so, say their critics, it’s more like a large estuary with a deep channel formed by a long submerged river. “The boat’s a chance for community people and agency representatives to get together and network,” organiser Ian Stevenson said. “They can interact, talk and examine issues related to Western Port. “The boat also takes them to areas of Western Port to which they may have never been and which are hard to access.” During last week’s tour of the waterway’s north eastern arm Save Western Port Action Group chairman Jeff Nottle said building a container port at Hastings would require dredging 24 million cubic metres of the seabed. “That’s enough to fill the MCG 15 times to the top of its grandstands,”
Mr Nottle said. Taking out that much material would increase tidal flows along the already eroded Bass Coast. Mr Nottle also criticised the secrecy surrounding information gained from $40 million spent by the now sidelined Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA). “They’re excluded from the Freedom of Information Act,” he said. Sandra Johnson, the PoHDA’s environment manager, said it was “business as usual” for the authority which has been stripped of money and staff since the election of the state Labor government. She said the only remaining monitoring equipment was a wind station at BlueScope. In answer to a question, Ms Johnson said the Port of Hastings was a “bulk port, but there’s nothing in the foreseeable future on brown coal”. Greg Hunt, of the South Eastern Councils Climate Change Alliance,
said studies completed five years ago had shown Western Port sea levels could rise 17 centimetres by 2030 and 80 centimetres by 2100 “but might now be out of date”. He said the effects of these rises were “something local government has to deal with in planning”. Western Port had been identified as a “hot spot” for the “interplay of coastal processes and storm surges”, already causing severe erosion at Lang Lang and Tooraddin. “Someone will have to pay [to protect property and infrastructure], nationally and state,” he said, adding that government agencies were already “ducking for cover”. Mr Stevenson spoke about failed attempts at replanting seagrass, with energies now being directed towards re-establishing mangroves in the north eastern section of Western Port. Farmers and government agencies were building rock walls to prevent erosion and invasion of their land by
the sea. He said earlier, ad hoc building of levee banks had included waste and car bodies, “which was intolerable”. French Island-based environmental consultant Chris Chandler said spoke about the island’s history, both before and after the introduction of koalas. He detailed the felling of forests for salt farms and to fuel chicory kilns and how a developer in 1963 planned a causeway across the narrowest strip of water between the island and the mainland. Rejected by the state government, the causeway would have connected Stockyard Point, near Jam Jeerrup to the 700-lot Paradise Point estate. As the boat neared these two points of interest, binoculars and cameras were able to focus on a lone fisherman on the mainland and a flock of pied oystercatchers on the island. No trace of a causeway, just a feeling that nothing is likely to happen there soon.

WITH the harsh Australian weather conditions, one thing that really suffers is the old door and window frames of the family home. That’s why a couple of switched on lads decided to bring Living Design Double Glazing to the Mornington Peninsula.

Living Design Double Glazing was established in July last year by Simon Craig, Del and Kim Larmour, who are all highly skilled in the industry, with Simon a REHAU Manufacturer since 1988, and Del a qualified carpenter since 1994. “We totally understood the benefits of the
product having come from Europe and growing up in Scotland, moving to Australia about 10 years ago. We knew the system would be perfect in the Australian climate and have already got incredible feedback from people who have replaced windows and doors,” said Simon and Del. “It is great being able to provide a high performance German engineered window and door system that was perfect for the Australian climate.

Worm farms prove a winner A & A WORM Farm Waste Systems are based on the Mornington Peninsula, employing staff from the local surrounding area to work on the front line in the field installing the Worm Farm Waste Systems. Staff work in the trenches in the factory in Hastings manufacturing the Worm Farm Waste Systems, and in the Hastings headquarters designing site specific systems and providing customer service and support which is second to none. All Worm Farm Waste systems are installed by trained and accredited staff, and one of the major advantages of the A&A service is that they will liaise with council on behalf of clients in order to gain the required permit to install a Worm Farm Waste System. The Worm Farm Waste System is a nonmechanical sustainable alternative to the more conventional waste water treatment systems and provides a natural biological process for sewage, all household waste water plus organic garbage such as food waste, vegetation and garden weeds. A&A use Australian made materials as much as is practicable, as such the Worm Farm Waste System is manufactured largely with Australian
made materials. They can also convert existing septic tanks and waste water treatment plants to the Worm Farm Waste System. This eliminates excessive ongoing running and service costs, as the running costs for a Worm Farm Waste System are approx. $20 per year for a typical four-bedroom house. All Worm Farm Waste Systems are designed site specific for both domestic and commercial applications. The Worm Farm Waste System is an appropriate solution for houses, restaurants, schools, as well as major industrial operations such as mine sites. A&A Worm Farm Waste Systems recently installed a large Worm Farm Waste System at the Big Goose which is a kids petting zoo in Moorooduc. This system is designed to handle sewage and organic waste from up to 450 visitors per day. Justin at the Big Goose chose the Worm Farm Waste System due to its sustainability and ability to handle both sewage and food waste.

Blind experts at Undercover CHRIS Reynolds, owner, started undercover blinds in 2007 primarily as an installations company, and two years later saw a decent opportunity in specialized external applications. “When I was a contract installer we installed for a lot of companies around Melbourne and saw how we could do it better. At that point I decided to go out and give it a go, started working out of the shed at home. Within a couple of years we got a factory and then very quickly moved to an ever larger premises as there was a real need for a specialist outdoor blinds business in the area,” said Chris. “We focused on a key group of products relating just to external applications, so we don’t do internal blinds and curtains. Our core products are folding arm awnings and the next biggest would be alfresco blinds, where you put blinds around the outside area to create a room.” Undercover Blinds has a strong focus on quality,
and the company is built to a standard not to a price. “So there is a focus on quality, and the expertise in what we do on our external range I don’t know anyone who runs in the level of expertise we do. All our staff has been recruited for their specialized skills. Our two main reps have over 35 years’ experience and I have more than 25 years in the industry.” Undercover Blind offers made to measure blinds, manufactured on premises, everything from roller shutters to patio blinds and specializes in folding up awnings which can be motorized. Outdoor alfresco blinds create an outdoor room with sun, enhance outdoor areas while increasing property value, or add a stylish canopy to doorway for an ultra-modern touch. Undercover Blinds is at Factory 21/61 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs. Phone 9775 1726 to arrange a free quote. www.undercoverblinds.com.au

DRAWING inspiration from the power of Bass Strait, this architecturally-designed coastal retreat showcases smooth lines that combine perfectly with striking stone work to create a home you know will go the distance. Set on an expansive 1610-square metre lot, the home is quite private from the street, securely positioned behind remote controlled gates and a high timber fence. Two impressive stone pillars flank the grand front entrance which opens to the main hallway which is the main artery of the home. All bedrooms branch off from here, as does a fabulous second lounge, until you emerge into an amazing open-plan living zone that stretches out before you. A superb kitchen with
stone benchtops and a healthy amount of cupboard space also features quality stainless-steel appliances including a commercial grade 900-millimetre oven with matching rangehood and a dishwasher. The steepled ceiling and the welcoming natural light accentuate the sense of space to the dining area which will comfortably seat eight, and from the adjoining lounge room you step out to a rustic timber deck that overlooks the well-grassed and landscaped backyard. Two of the four bedrooms open out to the second living zone which makes this area fantastic for teenagers craving a bit of their own space. The larger main bedroom has a walk-through robe to a stylish ensuite,
and a separate study could be a fifth bedroom if required. Perhaps originally conceived as the double garage under roof line, a fully-lined office and studio adds that extra dimension to the property as further sleeping quarters or a home based business. Housing for any vehicles is now comfortably taken care of by the enormous six car garage at the rear of the block which has two single roller doors facing the front, and a double roller door from the side. The landscaped block beautifully embraces the coastal aesthetics with mostly native plants and grasses displayed which are kept green and lush by a 10,000-litre water tank and bore connected to the property.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Farewell concert for our soldiers Compiled by Melissa Walsh A farewell and presentation concert takes place at the Recreation Hall, on Saturday evening, March 18th, to Driver Alf Clarke, Gunner H. G. Upton, and Lance Corporal F.Knox, all of whom are in active training. As all these lads are popular, a bumper house is expected. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their initial sale at Tanti yards on Monday next, commencing at 12.30 o’clock. *** WORD has been received by Mr Patterson, of Frankston, that his son George is at present suffering from illness, and is in the Heliopolis Hospital. *** THE Rev D. Gilchrist of St Andrew’s Church Carlton, will take the Presbyterian Service in the Mechanics’ on Sunday morning next. In the afternoon and evening the Rev gentlemen will conduct harvest thanksgiving services at Somerville. *** MORNINGTON Races. The above races were held on Tuesday last. The day was beautifully fine, and there was a good attendance. The following are the results: Novice Handicap, five furlongs. -F. Doran’s Lord Savin, 8.12, L; Eli Phillips’s Challenda, 8.0, 2; R.Ledgerwood’s Norris (late Result), 7.9, 3 Maximina, Valmenie, Dolly May, Cymbric, Paralla. Lady Selas,
Royal Queen, Gully Queen, Quittance, Trichinopoly, Soft Eyes, Royal Mettus and Bob L. also started. *** CAPTAIN G. W. Anderson, who has left Langwarrin for Headquarters, is the grandson of a late well known estate agent at Bacchus Marsh. The family flourished as merchants and butter factory proprietors in Bacchus Marsh and Trentham. His uncle, Mr Tom Anderson, was once considered as the only man likely to wrest the late Sam Staughton Esq from his seat as M.L.A., but Thomas Anderson Esq loved a merchant’s counting house, and a quiet country life better than fame as a politician. Capt.Anderson’s parents reside at Warragul. His father, Mr Geo Anderson, an estate agent, was formerly a merchant in that town. His intimate knowledge of the local Government Act and fine public spirit retained him in the local shire council for 20 years. A loyal Presbyterian, he proved one of the pillars of that church. Possessed of solid virtues the family got the best out of every member in local societies they entered,and retained the confidence of their subordinates for years after they ceased to serve them. Capt. G. W.Anderson was trained for the legal profession. His early training and legal knowledge should make him invaluable to the military authorities. *** MR Alan Broune, Y.M.C.A. repre-
sentative at the camp left for Egypt recently, and left so quietly it might be said “He folded his tent like an Arab, and silently stole away.” He was very highly respected by all who came in contact with him, and made himself very popular to those in poor circumstances. The very gamblers of a “two up” school trusted him with their money when they would not trust themselves, they left their money with him over night. On one occasion a gambler handed over to him £45 15s. They had confidence in him when they lost confidence in themselves. *** A station master has now relieved Mrs McNally of her duties as caretaker. It will be a great change for Mr and Mrs McNally who had a very onerous position here since the outbreak of war. Mr and Mrs McNally made themselves highly respected by their consideration of everybody who had business with the Department. The little debating society, over which Mr McNally frequently presided, has now ceased to exist, to the regret of the members. *** THE 16th half yearly meeting of the Langwarrin Progress Association was held in the vestry of the Methodist Church on Monday evening, March 6th. Mr J. Archibald occupied the chair, and there was but a moderate attendance. The report for the half year was of a satisfactory nature and showed that good work had been ac-
complished by the efforts of the Association. *** THE gift concert, lately held here under auspices of the Ladies Schools War Relief Fund turned out very successfully and a large number of articles were despatched to the headquarters depot as a result. The following letter of acknowledgment has been received:—The Head Teacher, State School, Langwarrin North— Dear Madam,—I have been directed to ask you to convey to all concerned the thanks and appreciation of the executive committee of the above League, for the splendid parcel of goods forwarded to Montague Depot for the use of our soldiers. We are sure that the gifts will be much appreciated by them. Yours faithfully—E. A. Slade,Acting Secretary Education Department War Relief Fund. *** LETTERS From The Front. The following letter was received last week, from Private C. W. Clements: We are quartered now in the desert 10 miles away from everywhere, and the scenery never changes, excepting one night we went to bed, and in the morning, after a windy night, there was a great sand hill in front of our camp. The sick men are taken away from here on camels. There are two beds on each camel, like an oblong box. It hasn’t come to carting the wounded yet, as we have not met the Turks so far. We have an aeroplane over every
day, scouting, etc, but our officer tells us we are likely to see action soon. But there is a lot of tin fish on the way over, and having had one experience with a torpedo, I don’t want another. We get issued with one pint of water daily here and have to keep washed and shaved with that, our clothes we wash in the sand (I don’t think.) Some kind friend, I don’t know who, sends me a copy of the “Standard” nearly every mail, so it has been in some hills and hollows so far, and if it still follows, I hope it will go farther. Well for the present I’ll say au revoir, and best respects to theFrankston boys. *** THE death of Cr W. Rain, of the Dandenong Shire is announced. The deceased gentleman was in a few days holiday, for the benefit of his health, at the Gippsland Lakes. While at Cunninghams, he died suddenly, on Tuesday morning. *** AUSTRALIAN Expeditionary Forces. Recruits Wanted. Every man, physically fit is wanted. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot where arrangements will be made for medical examination. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 March, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The accidental pasta time capsule By Stuart McCullough SAVE the date. I want to give you plenty of advance warning so that you can formulate your plans accordingly. After all, it would be a tragedy if, for some reason, you weren’t available to mark what will inevitably be a very special occasion. Twenty years is a long time. Whether it’s a job or a marriage, two decades is something of an achievement. It’s also a fair margin by which to be out of date. If, for example, you were a piece of food whose ‘best before’ date was 1997, it would be nothing short of a miracle if, all this time later, you remain unopened. Miracles, I believe, ought to be commemorated. It sits on the shelf above the kitchen bench. Seemingly innocuous, you can only imagine what kind of dark treasures might lurk within. It has something of an esteemed position; one whereby it has been elevated from mere container to decorative eye candy. It is, in actual fact, a tin can with a painting printed on the side. I’d guess you’d say the idea is to create the impression of an antique. Inside is some type of pasta. However, because the container was given such an exalted status, it has never been opened and its contents never used. Around the rim of the lid there’s a strip of plastic on which there is printed the expiry date. ‘Best before 1997’ is declares. Given that the strip sits over the edge of the lid, it acts as an assurance that the object has never been tampered with. It remains just as it was all that time ago; it’s contents doubtless withering within. Twenty
years seems as good a time as any to finally unveil the mysteries of the ancient pasta tin. It is, I feel, time to open it up. It’s been part of my life for so long. I’d slide the back door shut and cast a glance in its direction as it stared proudly at the room. The longer things have gone on, the more
my morbid interest has festered. It’s hard to envisage what twenty years has done its innards; whether they’ve slowly disintegrated or have remained perversely intact. For all I know, there’s a new strain of penicillin brewing away, waiting to be unleashed on the world’s superbugs. It’s funny to recall what the world
was like back in 1997. Not only was the decorative tin sitting on the shelf above the kitchen bench at my father’s, Bill Clinton was in the White House. It was the year Diana, Jeff Buckley, Michael Hutchence and the Notorious B.I.G. all passed away. The year that Tony Blair was elected and Steve Jobs decided to go back to work at Apple. Some of these events seemed profound at the time. Others more so in retrospect. As for me, I was just starting out. I had a job and an apartment, but it was still a time during which everything felt tenuous. Brittle. As though, at any moment, things could change and be upturned and any progress towards a real life immediately squandered. Those were the days during which I felt that fate could intervene at any time and force me to go back to living with my parents. Which, if nothing else, would have reunited me with the decorative pasta tin. Those, at least for me, were in between years. A time during which I was still finding my bearings. University was somewhere in the rearview mirror but I was still to figure out what I wanted to do. In 1997 I was living in the kind of apartment that doubles as a walk-in wardrobe. You could almost touch both sides with your arms outstretched. The stairwell outside was a concrete echo chamber in which lubricated tenants would perform full-throated versions of the last song they’d heard at the pub before deciding to stagger back home. It was a long way from Tyabb. It was around then that my car, a
Daihatsu Charade, was eased into retirement and I became wholly dependant on public transport. I also did a lot of things I thought were good for me that weren’t. I slept on a futon that was horrifically uncomfortable in the belief that it helped my back, only to learn later that I was kidding myself. In those years, my television was perched on a milk crate and I made weekly trips to the local launderette. It’s tempting to glorify your youth. Things in retrospect are often blurred by the passage of time. I can remember the people I met back in 1997. Some of those folks have been friends ever since. And even if I felt as though I had no idea what I was doing, I must have been doing something if not right, then something close enough, to have met those people. Thinking of it now makes me want to ring all of them and invite them over. I’ll make dinner. Perhaps pasta. When the time comes and I rip the lid from the faux-antique decorative pasta tin, I’ve no idea what I’ll find. I think I’m just hoping it won’t be like that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when they unclip the padlock, pop the top off and the cast of Ghostbusters comes flying out. It’s unlikely. Rather, there’ll probably be not very much left at all. Time, I suspect, will have taken its toll. It’s no great loss. Perhaps it’s better just to accept that things change over time. After all, that’s what happens when something is pasta its used by date. www.stuartmccullough.com

A fresh new face at Toorak College By Melissa Walsh Toorak College Principal Kristy Kendall is the kind of leader every parent would want for their child, with a passionate belief that all children have the ability to be brilliant, and a unique understanding that mistakes are all part of life and learning. “I know that students particularly want to get things right all the time and what I want them to know is that mistakes are our friend and they are our opportunity to learn and grow,” said Mrs Kendall. “If you are making mistakes it is usually because you are challenging yourself and giving yourself an opportunity for growth.” A former Mt Eliza College student, Mrs Kendall grew up on the peninsula, and took an active interest in local theatre and community projects, later studying psychology at University. Always one to step outside the square, she explains her academic career as taking an unusual path. “I did a strange degree at university. Because of my background in drama, I combined drama with maths subjects but discovered psychology was where my heart was. It was a subject that I became very passionate about particularly the more I got into teaching and education leadership,” she said. Using her psychology background, Mrs Kendall has been able to make incredible changes in the education system, starting with her first appointment at Haileybury that spanned 15 years where she assumed responsibility for the development of Edrington in 2013. Under her management, the campus exceeded enrolment growth targets and delivered key improvements in the educational outcomes achieved
by students across the school. Prior to heading up the Berwick campus, she was Head of Senior Girls having led the establishment of Haileybury Girls College in 2007. With a strong understanding of the importance of single gender education in the middle and senior school levels, Mrs Kendall was also the Associate Dean of Social Education where she developed a whole school program that addressed the social,
emotional and academic development pathways for students, which she plans to carry over to the Toorak College role. “I completed my Masters of Education in 2013 and my thesis focused on the development of an adolescent’s abilities to understand another individual’s perspective,” said Mrs Kendall, who is determined to pass down the benefit of her wisdom to both the students and staff. “Students
are all different and we need to be able to be as adaptable as possible in a teaching situation. At every moment in a classroom you have to be reading the room and able to change direction at any given moment. I am very passionate about education and want to be able to impact the journey of our kids every step of the way.” Growing up being told you could do anything, Mrs Kendall wants Toorak to encourage their young
women that way. “It is very important for our girls to learn to be proud of their passion as we have a tendency to just want to fit in. I want our students to follow their own path and make mistakes by trying different things. I am a product of taking risks and challenging myself every day. That way we will raise strong, confident women.”

THIRSTY MERC By Billy Dixon
“I don’t know if anyone really thinks five years ahead in any tangible way… I’ve taken a long term approach to being a musician and my career with this band.” It’s a solid answer to a seemingly innocuous question asking what Rai Thistlethwayte has been doing with his life over the last half-decade or so. Far from laying low, hiding from the spotlight in some small outback town, Rai’s been immersing himself in the musical culture and cultural music of Los Angeles. “Like any lengthy project, you’ve gotta do a little reinvention, a bit of maintenance along the way, and sometimes that actually means stepping away from it all for a little while.” Away from Australia and Thirsty Merc, perhaps, though there have been rendezvous. But not away from music altogether. It’s this continued contact with the creative process, coupled with an old-fashioned travelling holiday, that’s filled the tank of their well-tuned musical hot rod. Thirsty Merc are back for a follow-up tour to last year’s album launch gigs. “The overseas travel was something I never got to do in my 20s… while my high school mates went overseas, I had my head down in a music project.” Living in Los Angeles between 2012 and 2014
for the bulk of the time, Rai never left the band, and the band never left him. “I did a few solo gigs and a bit of song writing, and I worked as a session musician as well… part of it was somehow tied to the music career, I got to step away and get a bit more perspective on things, which really helped me have a fresh head when I came back for the fourth full-length album.” Hey, we all need a holiday from time to time, and he gracefully acknowledges missing out on the globe-trotting Aussie cliché in his 20s. But is Shifting Gears a new chapter in the book, or another adventure entirely? “You know that old saying, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” Clearly, a new chapter is the choice description. Explaining the reasons, it makes perfect sense. “There’s a lot of good things going on with this band. We’re great musicians, great friends, we have a great synergy sonically when we play live… and because I’m a bit older than before, maybe I’ve added a bit of maturity to some of the song writing. In other areas, possibly not, I might even have devolved… but your scope definitely opens up with more experience.” Despite calling the tour Back to the Grind, Rai insists they’ve “turned a corner into 2016… the gigs will be great, we’re still in the game,
we’re still playing live, it’s been the busiest 18 months of my life!” It’s definitely a positive for the band’s collective psyche, especially after the tragic loss of their stage manager Shane Cooper in a traffic accident while touring Victoria late last year. It nearly claimed drummer Mick Skelton, too, who was comatose for five days after the incident. Their Warrnambool show was rescheduled and the twisted irony of Thirsty Merc’s Good Life Tour fell on the band like a pallet of bricks. “…in a way, we bonded through it,” Rai says. Despite his brush with death just weeks ago, tour drummer Mick Skelton is back in the hot seat. “He’s made an incredible recovery and he’s actually going to be playing drums with us at The Grand! I hung out with him the other night, and he said ‘this is the tour I never got to do’.” Loss, or rather the shared pain that it carries, is a powerful force, one that’s only strengthened the bonds between the elements of Thirsty Merc. “He’s got the most inspiring attitude ever and I’ve been blown away by how well he’s doing. You’re never going to change what happened, but we’re thinking pas positively as possible and we’re moving forward.” The show at The Grand in Mornington will be
part of their second tour for Shifting Gears, this time under the second single The Grind. The album took some doing, so it’ll be interesting to see whether the intervening years and events have changed their stage dynamic. Rai insists not, highlighting their revamped creative process. “Entertainment and information being so global does have an influence, but another factor was doing the previous three albums with a record label – Warner Music. They’re a fantastic company, but we decided to go out on our own for the acoustic album… that was such a great experience that we took it further, doing this whole new album independently. That required a little creativity, the kind some well-established musicians forget is their stockin-trade. “We did a crowd funding campaign, all the organisation and financial backing for it ourselves and we put it all together. That can be daunting, even terrifying on certain levels because you’ve got to foot the bill for everything yourself, and you’ve got to be organised.” See it in the flesh at The Grand Hotel in Mornington on Friday, 22nd April.

LEFTFIELD IN MELBOURNE Frontier Touring have confirmed Australian club shows for iconic British electronic outfit Leftfield, playing Melbourne’s 170 Russell and Sydney’s Metro Theatre this month. These performances replace previously announced Melbourne and Sydney winery shows by an alternative promoter which have been cancelled due to circumstances beyond the artist’s control. Leftfield’s already announced Perth and New Zealand
PAGE 46
shows will proceed as scheduled. “We had various options on what to do when we found out about the cancellation of the two events, but as far as I was concerned we just had to come to Australia. I didn’t want to let down any Leftfield fans. Now that we are going to be in the cities, we just want to pack these rooms out and come together with our fans whom we haven’t seen for 5 years.” – Neil Barnes
Western Port News 15 March 2016
Since their emergence in 1991, Leftfield have been untouchable both live and on record, breaking electronic music from the underground alongside outfits like Orbital, Underworld and the Dust/Chemical Brothers. Their now infamous Liveism tour (1995) cemented Leftfield as one of the most talked about live acts in British Dance Music. The behemoth sound system, which aimed to replicate the cataclysmic bass effect
of reggae sound systems, resulted in a ban from Brixton Academy when plaster started flaking from the ceiling. Of Leftfield’s most recent UK tour, The Guardian said “In 2015, they haven’t so much moved forward so much as waited for everyone to catch up…say it loud, they’re back and absolutely deafening.” Don’t miss the wonder for yourself when Leftfield play Melbourne and Sydney later this month – tickets on sale this Thursday 11 February.

And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.
Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO
A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing my patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deďŹ nitely the best part of my job.â&#x20AC;?

Old Boys – champion effort PROVINCIAL By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys were crowned the best team in the MPCA on Sunday at 4.50pm when they crushed Crib Point in the Provincial Grand Final. Chasing 204 for victory, Peninsula Old Boys achieved the target with 90 overs left in the game. With Dylan O’Malley scoring 101, the Old Boys’ skipper Matt Hyden whipped a boundary in the 45th over to hand his side victory. At just 2/207, Crib Point conceded victory immediately. Brandon Lawler, who was selected ahead of Adam Galitis as an additional batsmen, was not out on 25 while Hyden was unbeaten on 36. Peninsula Old Boys set up the win in the final two overs of the first day (Saturday) of the match. Crib Point’s Neil Clark, Jack Johnson and Henry Dolphin were all removed within nine balls of one another to turn the game on its head. For 74 overs, Crib Point was in control of the match. With two overs to go, the game had flipped with the Old Boys taking 3/0 off nine balls. The Old Boys went into the second day with their noses in front. The Pies dominated for much of the first day.
PAGE 50
Other than a couple of early swings and misses against POB quick Adam Jones early, Henry Dolphin played a patient knock and got within 20 runs of a century before he was out. The Old Boys’ attack lacked their usual zip in the first session of play, which saw the Magpies reach 1/87 at the tea break. Rob Hearn made 19 and when he fell, the Pies were okay at 1/40 off 23 at that stage. Four dropped catches on the opening day made life frustrating for the POB bowlers with Dylan O’Malley grassing a chance off Jones in the final overs of the day. He injured his finger in the process. However, history will show that Dylan responded with a matchwinning knock, while his bowlers responded with three wickets in the final overs of the day. Crib Point may have finished the season on top of the ladder, however, the Old Boys were always the team to beat. The best sides always deserve to take the title and on most occasions the cream rises to top. In this instance, that’s exactly what happened. Once again, the Old Boys were crowned the Kings of the competition.

Panthers in box seat to win DISTRICT
By IT Gully PEARCEDALE will head into the third day of the MPCA District grand final with their noses well and truly in front after coach Chris Dew scored an unbeaten 159 against Flinders. After more than 140 overs in the opening two days, Pearcedale is in the box seat after bowling 40 overs to Flinders on the second day and having them 2/37 overnight. Not only did Dew score 159, when he gave only two small chances, he was almost the man to take Flinders’ first two wickets. Dew and Shane Maggs put Pearcedale into a wonderful position for victory after the opening day. The Panthers won the all-important grand final toss and went into bat. However, Matt Cousland was sent packing for a duck and Mitch Andrew followed three runs later and Flinders had the opposition on the ropes at 2/3. However, Brad Trotter (24) was joined at the crease by Dew and together they were able get the Panthers going again. With the score at 3/51, Maggs joined Dew at the crease. They were able to take the score to 4/146 before Maggs fell victim to Dwayne Field in the final over of the first day. Chris Dew remained at the crease, not out on 82. The Sharks used seven bowlers on the first day, Field having the biggest impact with 2/16, despite bowling just seven overs. Shane Beggs had 1/17 off
Picture: Andrew Hurst 10 after the opening day. Field finished with four wickets. With the likes of Anthony McLaughlin at the crease and Max Blackburn, Shayne Gillings and Kaine Smith to come on day two, the Panthers would have been confident of setting a big target.
Pearcedale president Andrew Williams said the knock of his skipper was “magnificent”. “What a time to get it. Our backs were to the wall and Chris brought his best. “It was a worry when he came to the crease at 2/3 but he took charge and

at that stage it could no have been in better hands. Flinders coach Clint Munday said Dew was superb. “We were in a good position early but Chris came out and played one of the best innings you will see. We had one small chance but that was about
it – he just didn’t give us another one,” Munday said. “The key for us was to hold onto as many wickets as we could and have a red hot go in the third day. We think we’re in with a great chance and we’ll give it a real crack,” Munday said.

Mathers puts Rosebud in command SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully ONE the MPCA’s greats, Jason Mathers, gave Rosebud a red hot shot at the title in the Sub District grand final. Mathers scored 73 in the Buds’ total of 215, while Jason Nagel and Brad Glen made contributions at the end. Opponent Frankston YCW was 6/66 at stumps on the second day with the Buds Billy Quigley snaring two wickets early to set the scene. The Buds are in total control and owned the first hour of play in the grand final. The Buds were looking solid with almost 20 runs without loss, however, they lost two quick wickets and quickly found themselves in trouble at 2/19. A short time later, they were 3/34 and then when Billy Quigley was bowled by the evergreen Craig Burch, the favorites were 4/46. Rosebud needed some grunt, fight and experience to give them a chance in the grand final – who better than ‘Heada’ Mathers. At stumps on the opening day, Mathers was a very patient 58 not out. He lost Peter Doughty for 40 when the score was on 125 but skipper Brad Glenn knuckled down and finished the day 12 not out. At stumps after 76 overs, the game was in the balance at that stage with Rosebud 5/148. Lea Leaunoa did some damage for the Stonecats early and got rid of Peter Doughty, finishing with day one figures of 2/33. Sam Fulton had 1/17 off 11 and Burch 1/27 off 19. Wind the clock forward 24 hours and the Buds are in command and are sure to go push through and with the flag and progress to District next season.
