Ram raiders leave trail of destruction Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Jumpers get a helping hand MOOROODUC Saddle Club members are jumping for joy after receiving a grant of almost $3000 for new cross country jumps.

And they were especially pleased to receive help in erecting them from Dromana Men’s Shed at the club in Bentons Rd. President Terry Keet said the grant from VicHealth meant the saddle club would be able to hold training days and provide a safe environment for members to practise cross country jumping.

“We are a family club that operates on tight funds,” he

said. “Most years there is very little difference between money coming in and money going out, and anything outside our normal running coats must be come from fund raising.

“So, the input of $2895 from VicHealth was very much welcomed.”

The saddle club is holding a QuizzaMe! quiz night on Saturday 10 September. Silent auction items will be up for grabs and donations of items is welcomed.

Tables are still available for the fun night. Tickets are $25 each. Book at moorooducsaddleclub.com.au

RAM-RAIDERS have crashed their way into five businesses at Pearcedale, Somerville, Baxter, Langwarrin and Frankston.

They used a stolen Suzuki Swift, an Isuzu utility and crowbars to smash through the front glass doors of three service stations, a newsagency, and a shopping centre, causing tens of thousands of dollars’ damage on top of the thefts of cash and goods.

At 3.20am, Tuesday 9 August, in the first of three raids that day, three men in the black Suzuki smashed the front glass doors of a BP service station on Baxter-Tooradin Rd, Pearcedale with crowbars. Once inside they grabbed food and cigarette lighters but were unable to access the cigarette cabinet.

Damage to the building is estimated at $3000.

At 3.58am, they reversed the car through the front glass doors of the United service station on FrankstonFlinders Rd, Somerville. The gang unsuccessfully tried to pull out the ATM and found the cash till empty, but caused $3000 damage to the building.

Detective Senior Constable Belinda Rampal, of Frankston CIU, said the men must have had a “decent knowledge” of the premises as they were able to disconnect the power supply, limiting CCTV footage.

Twelve minutes later, the men used

the same car to reverse through the front glass doors of a newsagency on the Baxter-Tooradin Rd. They stole $950 from one safe and stole another smaller safe as well as scratch lottery tickets. They also caused $10,000 damage to the building.

The next day, Wednesday 10 August, two men in the Suzuki joined forces with three in a stolen Isuzu utility after they met up in the car park of Karingal Hub shopping centre at 2.16am.

NEWS DESK Up close with nature AFTER five years, the Bush Kinder program at Coolart Homestead, Somers, continues to give children “joy, confidence and self-esteem”, according to teacher Julie Georgiou.

“Sometimes they’ll be off tracking animals and spotting birds, or maybe building and decorating with sticks, leaves and natural materials.

“They also learn about the Boon Wurrung Aboriginal culture, singing and playing clapping sticks and acting out stories and dancing.”

The program is jointly run by Somers PreSchool and Parks Victoria.

Ms Thomas says the property is where children “learn to respect nature and ways to care for it – such as not taking things home”.

She said parents and grandparents “love the way the program, in their words, shares the gift of nature with their child. That’s a great way to explain what Bush Kinder does”.

Footpath scheme cracks up MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s footpath construction scheme is in disarray, with 13 projects being deferred and two others awaiting appeals.

An emphatic rejection of the shire’s footpath construction plans by ratepayers has led to money being reallocated to fix footpaths at Hastings, Somerville and Bittern.

The highest support recorded in a survey of property owners due to be billed for part of nine footpath schemes was just 28 per cent.

In one case, the shire’s plan to build a footpath was rejected by 100 per cent

of property owners.

The rejection of the nine schemes has seen the team behind the shire’s footpath construction scheme recommend that $404,000 from the budget be used to fix footpaths rather than go towards the shared payment schemes.

Schemes at Somers and Sorrento already adopted by council are being held up by property owners who have lodged objections with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).

The footpaths that will benefit from the unexpected $404,000 “surplus” are at Babington Park, Hastings ($100,000); Stony Point Rd, Bittern ($110,000); and Frankston-Flinders Rd, Somerville ($194,000).

The footpath team, in a report to council’s 14 June meeting, said the survey to gauge support for new paths was part of the shire’s “commitment to improve the consultation with property owners”.

The footpath schemes rejected by property owners in the survey are for Booran Pde, Tootgarook (85.7% against); Braidwood Av/Brendle St, Rosebud West (89.6% against); Eliza Drive, Mt Eliza (87.1% against); Harrap Rd, Mt Martha (72% against); Hove Rd, Rosebud (88.9% against); Leon Av, Rosebud (97% against); Orana Drive/Kinross St, Mt Martha (100 against); Sudholz St, Bittern (94% against); and Wimbledon Av/Wimborne Av, Mt Eiza (87.8% against).

Smith stated.

“As part of the shire’s commitment to improve the consultation with property owners, officers recently undertook a survey of each scheme currently at the instigation phase. The survey aimed to gauge property owners’ support for a proposed scheme, prior to council considering the progression to the intention to declare phase.

“The survey was simplistic in nature, requesting property owners’ views on a proposed shared cost footpath scheme to be constructed in their street.”

The survey showed that a majority of property owners rejected the shared footpath schemes in all of the nine proposed projects.

Property owners objecting to the Somers footpath scheme claim to not have been properly surveyed about their views by the shire.

The rejection of footpath schemes has led to the shire taking another look at the shared payment scheme it adopted in 2011.

“Based on results of the survey, it is proposed that the instigation phase footpath special charge schemes projects in their current form, be deferred and reassessed for consideration following a review of the shire’s Footpath Construction Strategy and Contribution Schemes Policy,” the report to council from infrastructure planning team leader Chris Munro and infrastructure strategy manager Davey

Eyes have it at hospital

THE Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital has unveiled revolutionary new technology at Frankston Hospital to connect patients who present at an emergency department with eye injuries or conditions in outer metropolitan, rural and regional areas with specialist advice without having to travel to east Melbourne.

Eye and Ear Hospital CEO Mark Petty said the initiative will enable Peninsula Health’s emergency department clinicians who are not ophthalmic specialists to manage patients with the help of a remote eye and ear specialist when needed.

In 2014, 2700 people travelled from the Mornington Peninsula to the Eye and Ear Hospital for urgent treatment.

Peninsula Health’s emergency services clinical director Dr Shyaman Menon said the device is a game-changer for

clinicians in regional and rural communities.

“After looking into the statistics with the Eye and Ear, we found that we could have treated many of these patients if we had access to this new telemedicine technology,” Dr Menon said.

Developed by medical technology manufacturer, Ingeneus and the Eye and Ear with state government funding, the ground-breaking eyeConnect device will collect patient data, visual information and images of the eye.

Together with information from the eyePressure device, a disposable tonometer which indicates the zone of a patient’s eye pressure, this data package is sent to the emergency department at the Eye and Ear Hospital for review by a specialist doctor who can then provide advice on where the patient should be treated.

Beleura Path to reopen We’re looking forward to the reopening of the Beleura Path which has been closed since 2013 due to landslips.

We received $50,000 from the state government and will contribute $150,000 to the project. Works are expected to start this month and take around three months, after which the path will be fully reopened to the public.

Garden helps families grow Crib Point Primary School’s vegetable garden has been reinvigorated through a project bringing families together. Our Youth Services Communities That Care (CTC) initiative recognised family conflict as a key reason for depression amongst young people. The garden was designed, constructed, planted and tended to in a team effort where students worked alongside teachers, parents, grandparents, siblings and youth workers.

School’s year 10s off to Mornington PADUA College’s year 10 students from Tyabb and Rosebud will be based at the school’s Mornington campus from 2019.

The move comes amid a series of curriculum changes outlined in the school’s educational strategic plan, launched last week by principal Anthony Banks.

“The plan will mean greater flexibility for subject choices for year 10 students, including making year 11 and year 12 VCE and VCAL subjects available a year earlier and offering more VET courses on-site,” he said.

“It also outlines a revitalised, stand-alone year 9 program and a streamlined year 7-8 curriculum to be rolled out in 2018.”

Mr Banks made the announcement following a six months of consultation with education professionals, staff, students and parents, and a review of several educational models.

“The changes have been overwhelmingly well received by our school community and we’re pleased to be moving forward,” he said.

“We’re adopting exciting new programs and restructuring the campuses to best meet the challenges and needs of our students into the future.”

A new building at Mornington will cater for the extra year 10 students, with plans being released in October.

Mr Banks said Padua would also receive “significant investment in upgrading current fa-

cilities as well as new IT programs and learning spaces designed to complement and enhance our new curriculum”.

“Engaging year 9 students and meeting their educational needs is critical in ensuring these students stay in school,” Mr Bankss aid.

“We know there is a strong link between those in year 9 who intend to complete year 12 and those who go on to do just that.

A new director will research the various programs around the state to develop a stand-alone year 9 program across all three campuses.

This will provide opportunities for campuses to come together in learning clusters under the current house system.

“It will encourage greater opportunities for leadership and equip every student with a better understanding of how they learn and a true desire to do the best they can.”

Mr Banks said the years 7-8 curriculum would focus on science, technology, English, arts and maths “which will see students learn through problem solving and inquiry-based learning, tapping into their particular interests. It will also provide students with opportunities to extend their learning. I am confident that the improvements outlined in our educational strategic plan will equip all students with the social, entrepreneurial and life skills they need to have a positive impact on the world in which they live.”

Libs in line for ‘top job’ THERE is no lack of interest in filling the vacancy in Liberal ranks following the announcement that Martin Dixon will not be running for the state seat of Nepean he has occupied since 1996.

Russell Joseph, Mr Dixon’s electorate office manager for the past four years, has already signaled that he will seek to take over his boss’s job.

“I would like to leads from the front,” Mr Joseph told The News the day following Mr Dixon’s announcement.

“There’s a lot of potential for things to still be done and I’d like to see them continuing along.”

Mr Joseph has also been joined by Clem Newton-Brown and Sean Armistead in seeking Liberal Party pre-selection for Nepean.

Mr Armistead failed in his attempt to win the seat of Frankston at the 2014 state election, which was won for Labor by Paul Edbrooke.

A property consultant, Mr Newton-Brown was the former MP for Prahran until losing his seat to the Greens’ Sam Hibbins in 2014.

Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and other Liberal powerbrokers are on record as saying they want more women candidates, although none have gone so far as to suggest the branches which select the candidate for Nepean should draw the line at choosing another man.

Mr Joseph said he was sure “quite a few [more] will put their hands up” as the pre-selection draws closer.

He said he had spoken with Mr Armistead and Mr Newton-Brown.

“Everybody runs their own race and I can now talk to people and canvas [support] internally,” he said.

Quality Basswood Shutters at unbeatable prices RUSSELL Joseph

“The result can be unpredictable, but you’ve got to throw your hat into the ring.”

The candidate will be chosen by a vote of members of the electorate’s three Liberal Party branches: Central Peninsula, Rye and SorrentoPortsea.

It is understood the three branches have a combined membership of less than 300, with Sorrento-Portsea being the largest with 180 members.

Tide changes for surf industry TWO of the biggest names in the surf industry have quietly moved onto the Mornington Peninsula.

Rip Curl came first, buying out Peninsula Surf and next month Billabong takes over the Trigger Brothers store at Sorrento.

Recognising the strength in local branding, Rip Curl still displays prominent Peninsula Surf signs at its Frankston, Mornington and Rye stores and Billabong is set to do the same with Trigger Brothers in Sorrento.

“After the Rip Curl buyout of Peninsula Surf stores six months ago Billabong needed to ensure rack space or real estate on the peninsula,” Phil Trigger said.

“They approached us and we came to an agreement where they would take over the running of our Sorrento store on 5 September, with us keeping a small percentage of the business.

“Unlike their other takeovers they plan to make our 50 years of surfing the peninsula a highlight of the store.

Most of our amazing staff will stay and all our clothing and surf and skate hardware will remain.”

Phil trigger and his brother Paul will keep running their stores at Point Leo and Frankston.

Peninsula Surf founder Ted Bainbridge said the “time seemed right” in late 2015 to sell out to Rip Curl, one of the surfing world’s major brands which grew from humble beginnings at Torquay.

“With ageing directors and the stores all performing well, despite the downturn in retail, Rip Curl was the best option to take over Peninsula Surf,” he said.

“We’d stocked their wet suits from the beginning and surfed over many years with founders Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer.

“Having employed more than 700 peninsula kids since starting in 1974 it was a priority to have a company which allowed our staff to have a career path if they stayed in the surf industry.

“Rip Curl is an international company with heaps of opportunities.”

The latest move by the Trigger brothers follows the closure of their original store in Chelsea in 2005 (including auctioning 80 surfboards that were hanging on the walls), along with shops at Prahran and Mornington.

The shop at Point Leo also includes a shaping bay where custom boards are made and dinged boards fixed.

Point Leo was the site where the Triggers organised a vintage surfboard day which, in 2012, had 30 exhibitors and attracted about 1500 viewers.

“Two years later we held another one, this time we had a display of 30 Kombies, they came in a convoy as far as you could see up Point Leo Rd,” Paul Trigger said.

“In almost 40 years of manufacturing with the help of John Jolly and Al Francis and so many shapers, we have made about 30,000 surfboards.”

IT is not hard to find connect surfing on the Mornington Peninsula with Australian surfing great Bernard “Midget” Farrelly, who died on Sunday 7 August after several years of battling cancer.

At 71, Farrelly’s death came as a shock to the surfing community, both here and overseas.

Many of the peninsula’s younger surfers would not know that they most likely owe Farrelly a debt of gratitude.

His fame came on the cusp of major changes in surfing: the advent of the shorter board and professional surfers.

As Australia’s first official world champion – won at Manly 17 May 1964 - Farrelly dragged surfing into the public view and influenced the next generation of surfers who set about establishing an industry that brought the necessary equipment within reach of anyone who wanted to tackle the waves.

The founders of the two biggest surfing product outlets on the peninsula acknowledge Farrelly’s influence: Paul and Phil Trigger, of Triggers Bros and Ted Bainbridge of Peninsula Surf.

Bainbridge, who in 1974 started what became a chain of shops operating under the Peninsula Surf banner, remembers the mid-1960s weekly Midget Farrelly show on ABC TV. Farrelly’s “personable manner” came through the TV screen to the young lad growing up in Noble Park.

surfing’s trailblazing champions “[The show] showed him sailing a catamaran and surfing with such style, precision and grace and then went on to showcase what was happening here and around the world in surfing,” Bainbridge recalled last week.

“It opened my eyes to what was out there; why didn’t I live on Sydney’s northern beaches instead of Noble Park?”

Bainbridge recalls “being in awe” when he eventually saw Farrelly at Bells Beach near Torquay in 1967.

Seven years later they met in person when Bainbridge and then business partner Harry Hodge (later to become an executive with Quiksilver) were in Sydney picking up surfboards for the recently opened shop in Nepean Highway, Frankston.

“He was fun; he was an old guy – 30 - and still skateboarded. He enjoyed making surfboards, he drove a Kombi, he enjoyed a beer and he could still surf rings around most of the young guys in the water,” Bainbridge said.

Farrelly and his wife Bev came to Victoria the following year and attended one of the Peninsula Boardriders Club’s notorious “band nights” at Morning Star.

The association between Bainbridge and Farrelly also included the former world champ advertising his company Surfblanks in the Frankston-based surf magazine, Breakway.

The magazine was published by Bainbridge, Tony Murrell (later a director of the Independent News Group of newspapers) and this writer.

On one trip to Sydney Bainbridge and myself stayed overnight at Farrelly’s

house where, over dinner, he told about advising Victorian surfer Wayne Lynch not to rely on jam sandwiches for nutrition.

Bainbridge’s friendship with Farrelly saw him come to Rye in1992 to open a new Peninsula Surf store.

Paul Trigger also remembers the sincerity that came across during Farrelly’s show on the ABC which, in part, explains his lasting anger at some members of the surfing community who turned their backs on Farrelly because of his publicly expressed anti-drugs stance.

“In a lot of ways Midget probably set things up to make surfing what it is today,” Trigger says.

“But a lot of things that came out in the [Sydney-based] magazines were kind of disappointing. They made out that it was cool to do drugs, applauded surfers who took drugs and portrayed Midget as a square.”

Trigger believes Farrelly would have won the first professional surfing titles at Bells Beach in 1973 “if the competition had been judged differently”.

Farrelly came second to Michael Peterson, but also in the lineup for that contest were Ian Cairns and Terry Fitzgerald.

Trigger, one of the judges, speaks as if the contest was yesterday: “The surf had dropped back from about 10 foot to six or eight in the final round. Midget had got a bit sick and Peterson was surfing on the shoulder. He was doing all these maneuvers while Midget was riding deeper, but they were getting the same scores [because of wave size].”

Trigger said Peterson had a copy of the competition format on the dash-

board of his car and knew what points would be awarded for each maneuver.

During that contest Farrelly opened his Kombi to show Trigger his quiver of boards.

“He was such a pro. They were all yellow, all had swallow tails and ranged incrementally in length from six foot three inches to eight foot,” Trigger says.

His earliest memory of Farrelly was also near Torquay, in 1965, when he and Phil were driven there by their elder brother, Peter.

There were “probably all the best surfers in Australia” at Fishos Beach.

“It was the best mal surfing you could have seen and Midget was riding the first stringer-less board we’d seen,” Paul trigger says. “There were up to 100 of us in the car park watching, no one else was going out.

“Midget was also a master shaper, but he didn’t get the credit – he wasn’t pumped up by the magazines.”

Trigger remembers watching as Farrelly – talking to himself as he shaped a board – “don’t you like the way Midget does these rails”.

“He started work at 15, but was very smart and could have been a civil engineer. He made and flew hang gliders,” Trigger says.

“Once, when I was in a contest at Long Beach in Sydney, he was flying around on the other side of the headland.”

Phil Trigger once stayed a few nights at the Farrelly household only to discover that his host rushed home every night to watch Doctor Who. Paul Trigger: “And that’s who Midget was, not unlike a Doctor Who character himself.”

Ram raiders trail of destruction

Fire house: Fire crews outside a Rosebud house from which a critically injured woman was airlifted to the Alfred hospital. Picture: Gary Sissons

Continued from Page 1 After removing security bollards from the front entrance, two men ran to the Suzuki while the other three rammed the Isuzu through the front glass doors of the centre and raced through the mall. They lined the ute up outside Prouds jewellery store and rammed it twice through the roller shutters to gain entry.

Two men jumped out and used crowbars to smash open display cabinets and steal $70,000 in jewellery.

Detective Rampal said the men were inside the store for three minutes before bundling their loot into the ute and fleeing along Cranbourne Rd, leaving behind $50,000 damage to the store and the centre’s front doors.

At 3.45am the same morning, the gang shut off the power to the United service station in Cranbourne Rd, Langwarrin, before smashing the front doors with crowbars and stealing $10,000 in cigarettes.

Detective Rampal said the men were of Caucasian and African appearance.

She said the Suzuki was later found burnt-out in Springvale and the Isuzu burnt-out in Pearcedale.

Fire woman ‘critical’

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

FIREFIGHTERS from Rosebud and Rye had to break down a laundry door to rescue a woman trapped in a burning house in Coleman Cres, Rosebud, early last Wednesday morning.

The woman, aged in her 40s, had suffered a heart attack in the single storey brick veneer when the fire took hold in her bedroom.

Senior station officer Grant Kidd, of Rosebud CFA, said crews carried the non-responsive woman outside where she was revived by ambulance officers and airlifted to The Alfred hospital.

He said the woman called triple zero at 6.16am and fire crews arrived within minutes. He said the woman may have been smoking in bed and that there was lots of smoking paraphernalia in the house.

Mr Kidd said firefighters entered though

the laundry as the woman had deadlocked the front door and removed the key. There was no smoke detector in the house and bundles of household and personal items blocking walkways made access difficult.

Fire damage to the front of the house was severe with smoke and water damaging the remainder.

Eight firefighters from Rosebud, four from Rye and the Bayswater breathing apparatus crew brought the fire under control within one hour.

An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said the woman suffered burns to her airways as well as heart trouble and was in a critical condition.

Mornington Peninsula CIU Sergeant Miro Majstorovic said police were treating the fire as suspicious.

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.

Crop in police hands Repeat offenders

‘shadowed’ by police

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au POLICE are praising “astute members of the public” for helping them seize a massive haul of cannabis in Rosebud last Thursday.

Sergeant Chris Russo, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said 164 plants were seized as well as 76 cuttings which were in the process of being propagated.

He said the crop had a street value of $150,000.

Seven police raided the Eastbourne Rd house which had been set up as a hydroponic cannabis warehouse. Six rooms were filled with black plastic tubs for growing the plants which were hooked up to a water system in the bath.

A power bypass system in the ceiling diverted electricity from the mains supply.

Sergeant Russo said the house had been under continual surveillance but that members of the public had made the police job easier.

He said the owner of the house was being sought. It did not appear to be a rented house.

The haul was transferred to Rosebud police station for analysis.

Anyone with information is asked to call Sergeant Russo at Mornington Peninsula CIU, 59781300 or triple zero.

Wednesday 10 August. Mornington Peninsula CIU’s Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic said a man wearing a mask was spotted trying to enter a manhole in the loading bay of the Russell St premises, but ran off when disturbed.

fenders smashed the front windows of the Balnarring Post Office but could not gain entry. Sergeant Majstorovic said CCTV and other forensic evidence was being examined.

Shop damages

WHISKY and chocolates valued at $2000 and possibly cigarettes were stolen from a Mt Martha supermarket, 1am, Wednesday 10 August. Four offenders used a sledgehammer to smash through the front windows of the Lochiel Av store before entering and trying to break open the cigarette cabinet. Sergeant Majstorovic said the men ransacked cabinets and shelving.

OFFENDERS smashed the front glass window of a laminating factory in Balnarring, overnight Tuesday 9 August. They then attempted to jemmy open the front door of the business on Frankston-Flinders Rd, causing $2000 damage. In a possibly linked attempted robbery the same night, of-

Supermarket raid

FRANKSTON police are working around the clock to keep residents safe by blitzing crime hotspots, arresting repeat offenders and responding to incidents in public spaces and on train-lines.

Sergeant Phillip Hulley said that, by day 65 of its operation last week, the Shadow Taskforce had made 200-plus arrests – equating to an average of three per day.

“So far, 4122 vehicles have been checked with many of these checks resulting in traffic stops or the execution of outstanding warrants,” he said.

“A large number of the vehicles checked have also been searched for drugs and weapons.”

Sergeant Hulley said task force members had “come out of the shadows” to speak with more than 1194 persons of interest. “Many of those persons were later searched for drugs and weapons where reasonable grounds existed.”

After visiting the 24-hour Frankston police station on Thursday, Police Minister Lisa Neville gave a big thumbs’ up to the officers’ “dedication in serving and protecting the community”.

She praised Shadow Taskforce police for “doing great work driving down crime and locking up repeat offenders to keep local residents safe”.

“Community engagement is the essence of good policing – that’s why it’s great to see Frankston

police fostering strong relationships with the local community,” she said.

The Shadow Taskforce aims to actively target repeat offenders through overt and covert police work, while also dealing with aggravated burglaries, drug use and youth crime.

It has reportedly had “a significant impact” in the Frankston retail and business precincts, with local traders and residents noticing more police on the beat.

Police custody officers have been on duty in Frankston since May and are helping to free up police to return to the beat.

In May, police set up the statewide Operation Cosmas to investigate aggravated burglaries and car jackings, resulting in more than 130 arrests.

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke praised Frankston police targeting crime hotspots and boosting their presence in public spaces.

“Targeted operations are helping in tackling youth offending, public order incidents and anti-social behaviour,” he said.

The $596 million Public Safety Package announced in the Victorian Budget 2016/17 will fund an extra 406 sworn police officers, mobile technology and other specialist equipment.

More than 200 custody officers are working at 22 of Victoria’s busiest police stations, with their rollout to be completed at the end of 2017.

They’re having a ball at our expense YOUR rates are about to be thoroughly digested and enjoyed by highly paid shire officers, councillors and local members of parliament using their expense accounts (financed through rates and taxes) when they attend Mornington Peninsula Shire’s annual charity ball.

I challenge anybody attending this forthcoming elitist exclusive and non-equal opportunistic social function to publicly announce that they paid the $185 entry price from their own salary, wage or old age pension.

In reality, there may well be a few superannuated and professional members of our community who genuinely can afford to contribute towards an advertised charity fundraiser despite the fact that only three charities will receive the net proceeds after costs of staging the ball have been covered.

People with disabilities, pensioners and genuine community activists who contribute many hours into making the peninsula a safer and healthier place to live are openly discriminated against and left to feel disconnected, unrewarded and forgotten. Here is a fantastic opportunity for shire CEO Carl Cowie to show real compassion and a sensible openness to change this approach and show some politically correct and broad spectrum of fairness for all peninsula residents and ratepayers.

Halve the entry cost, invite all people irrespective of age, economic or health status to attend and call for all active peninsula charities to apply for a pro rata share of the net proceeds.

The goodwill of being able to share a table with usually unapproachable and unknown local councillors and the appropriate request for gratuitous donations along with entertainment from local musicians donating their time and talent for a broad based and seen to be fair function, would

be a great improvement on what happens now.

Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza

Shire backflip Thank you for your paper’s account of the Ombudsman’s investigation into secrecy and transparency at the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council (“Shire part of secrecy probe” The News 2/8/16).

As a member of the new Somers Village Community Association team (SVCA) I have encountered the shire’s view on transparency first hand.

The SVCA asked for the right of reply after the shire supplied address labels and posted information on behalf of the Somers Residents Association which pushed for the 5.2 kilometre concrete path scheme in our coastal village.

The council said it would assist us by supplying address labels for our mail out. This is essential as there are no letterboxes in Somers and many ratepayers live outside Somers. Residents must pick up their mail at the post office in true coastal village style.

Council demanded 16 changes to our letter and then refused to supply the address labels, stating that it did not like the “tone” of the letter, which opposed the concrete path scheme.

The shire has since stated that it offered to post our letters. This is not true.

It is apparent that council refused to assist the SVCA because it did not agree with its position of favouring the construction of concrete pathways.

This is a secretive council that only welcomes community participation when it suits.

Laurie Batiste, Somers

Debate muzzled I was shocked to learn in the 2/8/16 article “Shire part of secrecy probe” that six of our councillors voted for a so-called code of conduct for councillors. This prevents councillors speaking publicly on matters “stamped confidential or which appear to be confidential”. Such a broad definition of confidentiality is open to misuse.

How can our elected representatives keep us informed with a threat of being sacked or fined for a word out of place hanging over their heads?

If your readers appreciate the values of a democracy, including free speech, they will vote these six councillors out of office at the council elections later this year.

The six councillors – Bev Colomb, Anne Shaw, Antonella Celi, David Gibb, David Garnock and Andrew Dixon - should have no place on our council. They are there to represent the needs of the constituents they represent not their own personal agendas.

We need to elect people who will listen to represent and support their community and not attempt to muzzle open debate.

Michelle Gregory, Somers

Break point at Nauru Reports on the treatment of refugees on Nauru allies Australia with Saudi Arabia. Using detained refugees as a deterrent to other boat arrivals is not only cruel but driving adult and even child refugees to breaking point with sustained abuse seems to be one of Australia’s aims on Nauru”, the report stated.

All the isolation and secrecy is contributing to our country being a pariah in a world where refugees are everyone’s burden, but we are falling short.

Patricia Rayner, Somers

Immoral policies Despite the false claims that there are now no children in detention in Australian financed camps, the recent leaking of reports from Nauru of the mistreatment of these “non-existent” kids shows how morally bankrupt our Labor and

Liberal policies towards refugees really are.

The damage done to these innocent bystanders of a cruel and unnecessary refugee policy is condemning a great number of human beings in our concentration camps to a life of no hope and consequently mental and physical destruction.

Politicians’ claims of destroying lives in our camps so no more drownings occur at sea is starting to look very shaky indeed.

Close the camps and make a real effort to resettle these doomed human beings. Or have government policies so damaged people in our camps that no other country will take them anymore?

If that is the case, bring them here and rehabilitate them so they can become healed and contribute to our society.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Life-saving vet We cannot praise too highly vet Jodi and the wonderful staff at Rosebud Veterinary Hospital in Boneo Rd, Rosebud for saving the life of our 11-year-old Labrador, Duke. Some 12 months ago he went down with a nasty case of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, but thanks to the dedicated care and attention of the staff at Rosebud, he is now back to full health.

He brings much joy into our lives.

Our heartfelt thanks for a job well done.

Michael and Shirley Hoole, Rosebud West

Minority rules I must agree with John O’Hanlon (“No sound case” Letters 2/8/16). When you consider the overall numbers that agreed to the name change from Rosebud West to Capel Sound it is only 19 per cent. Hardly a majority There also seem to be flaws in the survey, such as what questions were asked when?

These questions were undisclosed and could have influenced responses.

It is slightly different to ask “Do you like the name Capel Sound” to “Would you like to change Rosebud west to Capel Sound and then spend your time notifying anyone that has your address” - not to mention the expense.

The Western Port Whisperer

With the council elections looming, The Whisperer has heard very little about potential candidates running in the Cerberus and Red Hill Wards, but has heard of numerous potential candidates lining up for Watson Ward, which was vacated back in May. Watson Ward includes the towns of Somerville and Tyabb, and due to a lack of incumbent, is up for grabs.

Word reaching Whisperer HQ implies that a certain voting block among the councillors is feeling nervous about their chances at the upcoming election, and is expected to run candidates in Watson Ward to try and sure up their numbers when voting on issues.

Who would ever have predicted a

political election would become political?

The Whisperer is a strong fan of local candidates representing local areas, and not their personal interests. *** Here in Whispererland, Mr and Mrs Whisperer are not exempt from filling out the Census.

Just like most people, we received the letter giving us a code to log on and complete the Census form, and just like most people we were unable to upload the form on Census night due to technical difficulties.

The Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer did not have to do a university course in computer science, or a TAFE course in astrology or crystal ball

gazing to see the inevitable; there were going to be problems with this Census.

Hopefully we’ll be able to lodge our forms for the 2016 Census in time for the next Census in 2021.

Next time The Whisperer will remember to use the phone and ask for a paper form. *** One thing we hate hearing in the news here at Whisperer HQ is people being robbed, but when it happens to a community group, even the mild mannered Mrs Whisperer makes the Incredible Hulk look like an adorable, smiling puppy.

As armchair followers of local footy, Mr and Mrs Whisperer were

devastated to hear Crib Point Football and Netball Club were victims of this crime.

The club has worked ridiculously hard to get what modest possessions they have.

With the end of the season fast approaching, there has never been a better time to support your local clubs.

It may not fix the damage done due to the theft, but sporting clubs are essential to local communities and deserve as much support as possible. *** Like a scene out of a horror movie, The Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer were out powerwalking the other day on Hastings Foreshore, and without

any warning were attacked by the giant herd of white birds which call various parts of Hastings home.

These birds are often heard at various times of the day and night. Some people claim these birds are cockatoos, but apparently they are corellas.

Mrs Whisperer prefers to call them corellas, but The Whisperer prefers to call them either ‘loud screechy things’ or ‘fake cockatoos’.

The Whisperer does not understand what these birds want, as he is in the business of deciphering whispers and not screeches. *** HEARD any Whispers? Let The Whisperer know at: westernportwhisperer@gmail.com

And don’t forget the street signs that have to be changed. Guess who is going to pay: the ratepayers of course This whole saga was the initiative of 14 people. Perhaps they should bear the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s and residents expenses?

One of the arguments put forward was that it would create a sense of community and pride.

What a load of waffle. A free barbeque would create that or a morning cuppa. Get people together and find common interests.

It was suggested that the name change might create higher house prices. Maybe it will, but the other argument is that people will ask “Capel Sound, where’s that? Never heard of it, I’m not going there�. Angela Barreau, Rosebud West

A hole for the future We have for many years watched these coal miners digging larger and deeper landscape eyesores, destroying productive farmland, vegetation and in many cases polluting our water table.

There are more than 50,000 abandoned mines around the country and it would seem that the miners can go into liquidation leaving a massive debt for Australian taxpayers in restoration costs.

The mining industry is paid huge subsidies ($1.8 billion a year) and now it would seem Australians must subsidise the price for restoration often 10 times greater than the companies provide for rehabilitation.

Closer to home, those who knew the old township of Yallourn understand the problem when they see the area once covered by homes now a huge black crater.

Surely it is the responsibility of the Environment Minister to make sure that the minister responsible for mines insists that a planned progressive rehabilitation takes place as the mines develop.

Shamefully, federal and state governments do not have regulations which require the miners to make restoration. If the bonds were made realistic before the mine started operation this would force the companies to be more selective as to how they function, or whether or not the mine is really viable.

Present day youth will inherit a huge problem with no thanks to any government.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Taxes at work Have you seen the bouncing man, the jumping man?

Runs ‘cross the road as fast as he can, Buckets of tar in his big, strong hands.

Tips it in the holes, jumps up and down, tar on his soles, The bouncing man, the jouncing man, the jumping man.

But alas and alack, by the time I drive back The tar’s all gone – stuck to the tyres as they rolled along.

So keep your eyes peeled, ‘cos he’ll have to come back, And back, and back, and again and again, The bouncing man, the jouncing man, the jumping man.

From the ridiculous to the sublime? Tyabb Railway Primary School – four trucks, at least six workers (one had a very large whacker) and four small (but deep) holes. I believe the whacker made the difference – now three weeks and the holes still have tar in them. Success.

Mistrust over votes Governments - in particular LNP governments cannot be trusted with plebiscites and referenda because they will always try to find a way to produce the result that they want.

A prime example of this was the referendum for Australia to become a republic which was held on 6 November 1999, nearly 17 years ago.

The push for the republic was led by none other than our now notably pragmatic prime minister Malcolm Turnbull. However, he was no match for that most cunning of politicians, John Howard, who worded the referendum in such a way that it was certain to fail and further confused the situation by including in the same referendum the proposed change to the constitution to include a preamble. The wording of the referendum for the republic that people were

Gem of a craft

“IT is easy to get addicted to gem stones,� admits lapidary enthusiast Kristine Waterston.

As one of the 130 members of the Frankston and Peninsula Lapidary Club, she’s right at home polishing, cutting and grinding gemstones into mini works of art. “We go out and dig for them and bring stuff back – that’s fossicking – or we go to gem shows and buy them,� she said. “We seek uncut, raw stones – that’s what the club’s all about.�

Popular stones among members are rhodonite, agate, jasper, opals – such as a “boulder opal I have got myself hooked,� she quipped. “These are mined from large ironstone boulders underground and grow in a boulder matrix where you get thin veins of colourful opal forming in cracks and fissures – it’s fascinating.�

Members cut stones on diamond-impregnated wheels before using grinding and polishing wheels of differing grades to wear down their gems and polish them with laps. They also do faceting of high-end gems such as sapphires and rubies.

Quartz and amethyst are described as “very hard� stones, but rewarding to work on. “We sell some and make others into jewellery and some we keep. We say: ‘I’m not parting with that one’,� she said. “It may take a couple of hours or even days to work on a gem but as you go through the stages it gets easier – especially when you learn how.�

Members of the 40-year-old Frankston and Peninsula Lapidary Club meet at the McClelasked to approve of was: A proposed law: To alter the constitution to establish the Commonwealth of Australia as a republic with the Queen and Governor-General being replaced by a president appointed by a two-thirds majority of the members of the Commonwealth Parliament.

This was doomed to failure because, as John Howard was fully aware, the people of Australia who wanted a republic wanted the president to be elected by the people not by the parliament.

Eye for detail: Gem enthusiast Kristine Waterston has eyes only for her prize – a synthetic cubic zirconia. Picture: Yanni

Classes are held in faceting, cabochon cutting, opal carving, chain weaving, silversmithing and enamelling. ď Žď€ Visitors are welcome to attend the club’s annual gem show, 9am-5pm, Saturday and Sunday 27-28 August, at the Cranbourne public Hall, South Gippsland Hwy, Cranbourne.

Adults $5, seniors $4 and children free. Visitors can watch faceting and chain weaving demonstrations, inspect members’ work, buy from club stalls and sieve for gemstones.

Traders will sell jewellery, minerals, beads and crystals. Light refreshments and a sausage sizzle will be available.

Stephen Taylor I believe, and I think that Malcolm Turnbull believes, we would have a republic today but for this particular wording.

I am not an advocate for or against gay marriage, but it does seem to me (tongue in cheek) that the straight people these days are moving away from marriage towards “partnerships� so that if gay marriage becomes legal, with a little bit of extrapolation, the majority of married couples eventually will be gay.

Bulldogs reap rewards of work, play MORNINGTON Football and Netball Club players enjoyed a half day’s “experience” with the Saints last week as winners of the FOX Footy Club Rewards program.

Eight Bulldogs players, who sit third on the Peninsula Football Netball League ladder, visited St Kilda Football Club’s Seaford headquarters for a behind-the-scenes view with senior coach Alan Richardson and his assistants.

The aim of the rewards program is to support grassroots sport and recognise local football clubs and recognise the benefits they deliver to their community.

The Mornington club has had a long partnership with the Salvation Army: it donates $1 from each club membership to the Red Shield Appeal, as well as undertaking individual fundraising throughout the season.

The Bulldogs also support Biala Peninsula by helping run a small program for children with special needs on a Saturday morning.

The program teaches the kids AFL skills and the values of playing team sport. This season and last, almost all Bulldogs players came early on home game days to help run drills with the kids.

National ambassador for the program and former Saints captain Danny Frawley said the program, in its second year, continued to reward local clubs with opportunities to learn from the AFL’s elite.

“Local sporting clubs are at the heart of local communities all over Australia and it is fantastic to have organisations such as Foxtel continue to invest at the level where it all begins for so many our AFL players.

“Hopefully, the experiences they undertake as part of the program ensures they continue to grow and develop as a football club and as a strong hold presence in their local community.”

St Kilda’s Richardson, who began his coaching career with East Burwood in the Eastern Football League, said local football clubs were the backbone of the community.

“Grassroots clubs have an enormous role to play for their local town and its members, so we’re delighted to host the Mornington Football and Netball Club in recognition of their community support.

“By giving them behind-the-scenes access to St Kilda Football Club and our coaching staff, we hope that they can take away a greater understanding of game analysis and an insight into the professionalism and culture that shapes an AFL club environment.”

From the coach: St Kilda coach Alan Richardson with Mornington’s Lachie Hewett, Neil McKinnon, Kalen Bird, Alan Paley, Lachie Gorka and Brian Hewett, and St Kilda assistant coach Danny Sexton.

UTOW Safety GEOFF McLean of Utow Caravans explains the safety issues of towing weights and braking.

“Towing weights and braking are very important safety factors when enjoying your time on the road,” said Geoff. “ It is very important to understand the operation of your caravan braking system. I have experienced many people who have been towing for years but have no understanding of the electric brake unit fitted to the car. Have a good read of the instructions.

If the system is old it is well worth the investment to upgrade to one of the latest models with proportional braking. You should be able to feel the caravan brakes coming on.”

Geoff explains the importance of having a brake away system.

“If your caravan is over two tonne it must have a brake away system. A cable connects to your car so the system is activated if the caravan separates from the car when travelling. Many systems work off a small battery, which must be charged.

There is a test light on the box. It is unsafe to tow your caravan if this battery is flat or the system is faulty. You should read the instructions and know how to operate it,” said Geoff. “Towing weights are becoming a much bigger issue. There are several weights to consider. The important weight of the van is its actual loaded weight. This should not exceed the caravan’s ATM weight or the legal towing capacity of your car. Most of these weights are written on the plate on the caravan or on your car, on the tow bar or inside the driver’s door or in the manual. It is important to know the weights and adhere to them.”

Andrea’s family touched our hearts and even though we didn’t know her this tragedy affect us dearly,” said Lesley Taylor, senior personal care attendant of St John’s Retirement Village. “We decided to hold a fundraising auction to help raise funds for the family. Staff approached the community to participate and from there the auction grew bigger than we could have ever imagined. Many businesses in the local area began donating items for us to Auction off.

“It is a tiny device that no one can see in the vehicle. We only need the car for half a day to use it and can make it so the car of machinery can be immobilized if someone is driving it,” said Rob. “It can be put in trucks as well and is part of technology that has been around for a while now.”

“This technology is perfect for anyone who has a car, caravan, or plant machinery like excavators,” said Rob “People with heavy machinery would find this the best idea as those things get stolen all the time.

INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL

Tuck shop hours

Always on the go

ESTABLISHED for 30 years, this busy takeaway is on a corner sit and trades just the five days per week, opening from 6am to 2.30pm for a great work-life balance.

There is no opposition in the area and the shop is well-stocked with experienced staff in place. The steadily growing community of Martha Cove is nearby, so there is a new customer base, and the potential is there to further increase sales with a delivery service to the many surrounding businesses.

THIS fully managed courier business offers same day deliveries to metro areas with an Express and VIP service capable of handling all types of goods. There are seven courier runs, with regular clients generating about 95% of the revenue.

Included in the sale are five Ford Transit vans, with all employees sub-contracted.

There is the potential to expand or franchise this business.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Two candidates set for polling day Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Adamson, Strettle and Co will hold their next sale at Tanti on Monday next—For entries see advt. *** MR Joseph Unthank will address the electors at the Somerville Hall on Wednesday evening next, and gives a cordial invitation for all Centre Riding ratepayers to be present. *** A PUBLIC meeting will be held on Thursday evening next in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, when addresses will be delivered on the 6 o’clock closing question by prominent speakers. *** A PRESENTATION of a travelling bag was made to Guard Phil O’Grady, on being transferred to Mornington, by his fellow employees, Frankston, who regret the loss of P. O’ G, but wish him good luck in his new sphere. *** THE Scotch concert this evening at the Mechanics’ Hall will be given by a capable company of inimitable artists, clever and charming performers, who have everywhere and always been enthusiastically received. *** MR Harry Skinner, the well known Scottish entertainer has arranged a musical treat for the residents of Frankston for this evening at the Mechanics’ Hall. The funds are in aid of the Frankston District Roll of Honor Fund.

*** A GENEROUS donation of £2 was given to the “Wattles Club”, by a friend, and small donations amounting to 16s were also handed in 54 cups and saucers and 100 tea spoons were given by Mrs Hay, 66 cups and saucers, and 12 bread and butter plates, by Mrs Maloney, £1, for small plates, by Mrs C. Gray and tea pot, by Mrs Wilcox. *** HEREUNDER I beg to submit balance sheet of Seaford Red Cross Society for the year ending June 15th.

Debit— Expenses, including cost of material purchased, £21 2s 5d. Cash in hand £9 11s 10d. Credit—Money collected by public subscriptions £40 14s 3d. Credit balance £9 11s 10d. The people of Seaford can be congratulated on the magnitude of their effort, considering the size of the place, as 1232 articles have been made during the year by members of this society which is financed by local contribution. *** THE members of the W.C.T.U. held a drawing room meeting in connection with the above Society last Thursday afternoon. The gathering was a most enjoyable one. Mrs Carroll delighted the audience with a beautiful song, “The Valley of Laughter” and a paper given by Mrs McCormack on “Women, her present duty and privilege ‘ was also particularly well received, as was also a duet by the two above mentioned ladies. In the absence of the President (Mrs Twining) the chair

was taken by Miss Watson, who gave a most able address. Refreshments were handed round during the afternoon and the secretary had the pleasure of receiving three new members to the society. *** AMONG the correspondence read at a meeting of the “Wattles” Club held at the Hall, on Wednesday evening, was the following letter:—G.P.O., Sydney, 11.8.16—Dear Sir, or Madam—It gives me greatest pleasure to write a few words of thanks I feel so rightly due to you and your fellow workers of the “Wattles Club” in giving us, the returned soldiers, on A14 “Euripidies”, such a great and enjoyable reception during our short call at Melbourne.

I am sure in this matter, mine is the general sentiment of the boys, and we greatly appreciate what you did for us, and later, during the reminiscences of our service in this war, surely this reception at our homecoming, will never be forgotten.

Once again thanking you for your great kindness,—Yours truly,—PTE. W. GREENE, 1st A. A.M.C. *** FRANKSTON was again visited by about 270 returned New South Wales and Queensland sick and wounded soldiers, and were entertained in the Mechanics’ Hall by the “Wattles Club”, on Monday last. Having had an exceptionally rough time coming across, and not being allowed to land at Fremantle, the boys seemed to appreciate doubly, the outing which was

heritage Tavern & Restaurant

arranged for them.

As their boat was to remain in Melbourne just the one day, the pleasure trip was quite unexpected. The only fault to find was that time and tide wait for no man— not even a soldier, and although there was ample amusement for hours to come, good-byes were said amid loud and prolonged cheers, which were good to hear.

One of the soldiers, and a lady visitor kept things going merrily during the afternoon. *** THE Candidates Song. Now polling day will soon be here, with the question to decide who best to cast a vote for, and who to cast aside. You have the choice of two this time, both good men and true, and we’re waiting, calmly waiting, to hear what you will do.

Now one of us you’ve tried before, who proved so just and fair, his comrades thought so much of him, they placed him in the chair. Perhaps they hope to see him back, and trust that he’ll pull through, so they’re waiting, calmly waiting to see what you will do.

Now just a thought to the other one before your vote is cast he’ll likely hold good trumps this time, and win the seat at last. He’s patient at the game no doubt, he’s tried, and tried before, but never yet has had the luck to top the voters score.

But soon the waiting time will end, the day is coming fast when each of us will know the best, or perhaps the worst at last.

So now good folk ‘tis left to you to exercise your will, to put a new man in the place or keep the old one still. So voters you must please yourselves, your judge and jury too, while we are waiting patiently, to hear what you will do. *** RESIDENTS of the Mornington Peninsula will be highly gratified to learn that the question of the provision of water supply has; at last, been practically settled. The Federal Public Works Committee, which was asked to investigate the matter, has decided in favor of the scheme drawn up by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission, known as tile Bunyip scheme.

Its report recommending the adoption of this scheme will be presented as soon as Parliament meets. The Bunyip scheme, which the Public Works Committee recommends, has a catchment area of 211,000 acres . It is estimated that a supply for 300,000 people can be drawn from this scheme, and that even then the riparian rights of the settlers lower down stream will not be affected. The gaugings show that in the driest season and under the worst conditions, there is a daily flow of many million gallons, and analyses of the water have shown it to be a point better than the metropolitan supply. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 19 August, 1916

Set on 2 acres of garden space in a 1930’s house, the Heritage Tavern embodies the ambience of a gentler era.

Family friendly with space for the kids to play.

Reasonably priced meals with plenty of slow cooked options.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

All aboard the 6am train to slumberland

By Stuart McCullough HE was sitting directly opposite. It was the 6.00am Frankston to Flinders Street and my fellow commuter was wrestling with the very concept of being awake. Despite his best efforts, his eyelids kept fluttering down over his pupils as his head tipped back and a small stream of saliva began oozing from the corner of his mouth. Part of me thought I should do something useful: perhaps leap forward and clap my hands or gently position my headphones in his ears before giving him a few seconds of ‘Release the Bats’ by the Birthday Party to send those eyelids rolling back like tin shutters. But, instead, I did nothing but watch on as he wavered like a human bowling pin, threatening to topple over at any minute.

We’ve all done it. Try as we might, sometimes sleep gets the better of us.

No one can ignore the siren-call of slumber land forever and it’s foolish to even try. Legend has it that Keith Richards once remained awake for five days straight but, frankly, Keith Richards isn’t much a benchmark when it comes to good living. Granted, his 1983 aerobic video beats Jane Fonda’s hands down and he’s a whizz with a juicer, but other than that, it’s best to let Keith be Keith. I, for one, have no interest in sleep deprivation.

I may have been wide-awake on the 6.00am to Flinders Street, but there are plenty of occasions when staying conscious has been too great a task. I have nodded off in all manner of circumstances including a Russian literature tutorial in second year Uni. I can’t remember which book we were

discussing, but chances are it was serious and laughs were very few and far between. Suffice to say, I was something less than riveted. As the discussion meandered showing no signs of coming to an end any time soon,

I could feel myself starting to wilt.

As I sat in my uncomfortable plastic chair, I slowly turned to lead, lurching slightly forward before catching myself and springing back to attention. It was only a matter of time.

Now that I think about it, the odds were against me. The room was unreasonably small. The book we were discussing was unforgivably large. To make matters worse, there’s a very good chance that I was yet to get around to reading anything more than the blurb, preferring instead to simply pick up on the ‘vibe’ of the thing in class. If that wasn’t enough, there was also a small electric heater in the corner, spewing heat into the atmosphere.

Frankly, given the circumstances, I’m surprised that anyone was awake.

Sensing I was in trouble, I used every trick in the book to avoid humiliation. First, I changed the way I was sitting in a bid to feel less comfortable. This I did by uncrossing my legs and sticking my head between my knees as though preparing for an emergency landing. Then, I bit my lip in the hope that a small jolt of pain might be enough to keep sheep and numbers as far from my thoughts as possible. But arithmetic livestock can only be kept at bay for so long. In an act of desperation, I even expended a great deal of energy in concentrating on every word my classmates uttered.

However, this backfired spectacularly and within moments I was completely unconscious and remained so until I fell off my chair onto the floor. The mark I received for the class was not nearly as memorable as the mark on my forehead after it collided with the table.

It’s not just Russian literature tutorials that have seen me nod off. I have even fallen asleep at a rock concert.

Granted, this was only made possible because the rock concert in question

was seated rather than standing (although nothing is beyond me). The artist responsible for sending me to sleepy town was Jose Gonzalez. On second thoughts, describing it as a ‘rock concert’ might be putting it too highly. Jose’s a long way from Led Zeppelin. It’s not so much a case of ‘hammer of the Gods’ as it is a wet lettuce leaf. Mr. Gonzalez specializes in laid-back acoustic music that plays in the background whilst you select the flat-pack your heart desires at IKEA. Perhaps I took the whole thing too literally. The music was ‘laid back’. I followed suit and swiftly fell asleep. I awoke to the unmistakable sensation of an elbow being plunged into my ribs just as Jose and his merry men were returning to the stage for an encore. Apparently, it was no problem for my eyes to be closed throughout the proceedings. However, my failure to clap for an encore was deemed unforgivable. I’ve never bought another of his recordings but, to this day, at the very mention of his name I feel surprisingly well rested.

I’m not sure if my fellow commuter had just heard a track by Jose Gonzalez or read the opening paragraph of Crime and Punishment, but he was struggling. I began to feel sorry for the lady sitting beside him as he crashed into her like an anchorless ship. Suddenly his eyes opened and he squeezed the arm of his neighbour. She squeezed back. He wasn’t being a nuisance after all and no intervention was necessary.

I could simply let sleeping dogs and passengers lie. Sweet dreams. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

HEART OF FICTION

By Andrea Louise Thomas Melbourne-based author Toni Jordan has penned four critically acclaimed novels. Originally from Brisbane, she studied physiology at the University of Queensland. She worked in molecular biology as a protein chemist amongst other things before becoming interested in copy writing. She took a Professional Writing and Editing course at RMIT and it was there that her first novel, Addition (2008), was born. It became an international bestseller. Her latest novel, Our Tiny Useless Hearts, has just been released. It’s brilliantly written, insightful and hilarious. I caught up with Jordan before she speaks at Frankston Library on August 27 as part of the Melbourne Writer’s Festival.

MINT: As an avid childhood reader, did you ever imagine you’d become a writer?

JORDAN: Not in a million years. I thought I’d work with Mum at the TAB or become a greyhound trainer. I didn’t grow up in a family that had very many artistic pursuits.

MINT: You started your professional life as a scientist. What prompted the shift to writing?

JORDAN: I worked in bench research for a lot of years. I ended up writing drug dossiers - scientific technical writing. I went back to uni to get a qualification in writing so I could start up my own business. Completely at random I chose one of the creative subjects. My first novel, Addition, was an assignment

for that course.

MINT: At what point did you realize you wanted to be a novelist?

JORDAN: Once I started writing Addition, I just didn’t stop. It was nervewracking for me to think I was going to be writing fiction full-time and I had a lot of trouble leaving my technical writing business behind, but writing is just my favourite thing. Now I’m well into it and I want to do it forever.

MINT: What was the inspiration for Our Tiny Useless Hearts?

JORDAN: I was reading Anna Karenina on holidays. I stole the beginning from Tolstoy. The second line in it is, ‘The house was in an uproar because the husband’s affair with the governess had just been discovered.’ I just couldn’t stop thinking about what a great start that was for a farce. I wanted to write a comedy and this line from Anna Karenina kept going through my mind. I like a good old-fashioned farce - people coming in and out of doors and hiding naked in cupboards.

I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

MINT: Is your protagonist, Janice modeled after you?

JORDAN: There are circumstances that aren’t but certainly I worked as a microbiologist for a long time.

Certainly I spent a number of years on IVF unsuccessfully. So I suppose I’ve stolen both those things. She’s a bit more diligent than I am and much more

patient so I’ve given her bits of me, but other bits are completely her.

MINT: How do you go about constructing your novels?

JORDAN: I write from beginning to end.

I’ve got to keep going. I kind of imagine it from the reader’s point of view so I can’t muck around. I’m pretty good now with it coming out just the way I want it.

MINT: What advice would you give to an emerging writer?

JORDAN: I think people need to spread their reading wings a little bit wider.

I think people read well within their narrow band of interest, but sometimes things from outside your normal thinking can teach you the most.

MINT: How would you suggest going about getting new work published?

JORDAN: I think that you need to concentrate on being the kind of writer that everyone wants to publish. Do well in some competitions. Write work that is so fantastic that word of mouth precedes you.

MINT: What would you most like to be remembered for as a writer?

JORDAN: If I can make people laugh when they are going through a difficult time, that is more than enough for me.

Twenty-six-year-old Torres Strait Islander Daniel O’Shane won the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s National Works on Paper Prize of $15,000 sponsored by Beleura House & Garden. National Works on Paper was established in 1998 and incorporated the former Spring Festival of Drawing and the Prints Acquisitive which began in 1973. The National Works on Paper is a biennial prize and exhibition organised by Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery to discover and showcase the most outstanding contemporary works on paper from across the nation. Works acquired from the National Works on Paper become a part of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s collection – one of the most renowned works on paper collections in Australia.

The 2016 judges were Kirsty Grant, Director & CEO of the Heide Museum of Modern Art; Roger Butler, Senior Curator, Australian Prints and Drawings, National Gallery of Australia and Jane Alexander, Director Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. The judges commented: “The winning work by Daniel O’Shane is remarkably accomplished and monumental in scale; created by a young artist, using the traditions of Torres Strait Islander art that has developed in Cairns over the last 20 years.

Coming out of the histories of carving pearl shell, the intricacy of the cutting in this work is simply amazing.”

O’Shane’s work was chosen from the sixty-six artists shortlisted from around Australia from close to 1,000 entries for the $50,000 National Works on Paper acquisitions and awards.

The prize, the most prestigious acquisitive prize and exhibition of its type in Australia, showcases recent works by artists working in the field of drawing, printmaking, digital prints and paper sculpture.

Victorian artist Lily Mae Martin was the winner of the $3500 Ursula Hoff Institute Emerging Artist Acquisitive Art Award 2016 for her work Wrestling three. Other pieces acquired include works by Jonas Ropponen, who grew up on

The Friends of MPRG purchased Brian Robinson’s Up in the Heavens.

The Mayor, Cr Graham Pittock says “The Mornington Peninsula Shire has provided critical funding support since the 1970s towards the MPRG’s acclaimed National Works on Paper exhibition. This exhibition of contemporary works is held every second year at the Gallery and has resulted in its Permanent Collection becoming a significant and valuable community asset featuring works by legendary Australian artists such John Olsen, Rick Amor, Gloria Petyarre and Charles Blackman.”

The 2016 National Works on Paper exhibition runs until 11 September 2016.

Come along to the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s National Works on Paper Family Day, with ‘drop-in’ creative activities, Sunday 28 August, 2pm–4.30pm, $4 adults, $2 concession, no bookings required. Use the power of paper to create some crazy critters, wild dinosaur hats or vibrant wheels of colour.

Enjoy a guided tour of the National Works on Paper exhibition at 3pm.

Bulls respond to turmoil PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt KARINGAL put a week of turmoil behind it on Saturday, ending Edithvale-Aspendale’s 2016 season.

It was a massive game for both footy clubs at Ballam Park, the Bulls hoping to respond to the resignation of their coach Michael Triep on Tuesday, while the Eagles needed to win to reclaim their place in the top five.

Edithvale now needs to beat Frankston YCW at home in the final home and away game of the season while hoping that Mt Eliza can beat Seaford, who is currently in fifth spot.

The Tigers are two points clear on 34 points.

Karingal trailed by 22 points at half time on Saturday and by 19 points at three-quarter time. Everything was going to plan for the Eagles.

However, through the likes of one of the competition’s greatest of all time, Michael Burke, together with Cal Dixon and youngster Christian Matthews, the Bulls booted six goals to one in the final term to run out 10.11 (71) to 8.9 (57) winners.

Earlier in the day on the RPP Footy Show, Karingal President Daniel Watts took “full responsibility” for the coaching dramas of earlier in the week, which saw Triep resign and assistant Leigh Poholke take the reigns for the remainder of the season.

“It’s a really exciting time at the footy club with new three million dollar rooms being announced, works going on around the ground and a really exciting crop of kids coming through,” Watts said.

“I may have been guilty of taking my eye off what was happening on the footy field and not listening to some of the things that were bubbling along under the surface.

“In essence, without going into detail, the senior playing group didn’t feel that Michael was the best person to take us forward as senior coach in 2017.

“We spoke with Michael about that and after some consideration, he felt that he couldn’t go on given he didn’t have the support of the full playing group.

“For me personally, it was devastating news. Michael and his family have put more into this footy club in the past three years than anyone I can remember in my time at the club.

“Our seniors have a great crop of youngsters and our U19s, U17s and U15s are all really strong. Michael has been responsible for bringing at least 70 kids to our club.

That’s a long way from where we were three years ago.

“As tough as it is though, footy clubs are a business and they have to be run like a business. If the man at the top doesn’t have the support, then a decision has to be made and we have to quickly move on. That’s the nature of footy clubs.

“I’m really, really hopeful that in time, Michael will decide to stay with us in some capacity,” Watts said.

Karingal has already put together a sub-committee to find a new coach and this process will begin “as soon as this week”.

There’s a lot to like about the list of Karingal Football Club and it would be a very interesting proposition for an aspiring or existing coach.

Bonbeach may have been the form side but Frankston YCW again flexed its muscles on Saturday, winning 11.13 (79) to 7.1 (43).

The margin may have been six goals, however 24 scoring shots to eight clearly highlight the dominance of the Stonecats.

The home side opened up a 27 point quarter time lead, however, the margin was just eight points at the final change. YCW then kicked four unanswered goals in the last to win comfortably.

Paul Minchington was outstanding with three goals and Anthony Bruhn booted four. Sam Widdowson played arguably his best game.

Ash and Nick Waterstone were the best of the Sharks while Luke Damon kicked three goals.

Mornington made it four wins in five games with an easy 13.11 (89) to 7.9 (51) victory over Langwarrin.

Jimmy Cameron was the best player on the ground while Barry Smeeton was also very good out of the middle. Jai Haddock did the job on Langwarrin forward Kieren Albanese.

Mt Eliza bounced back and smashed Chelsea 22.14 (146) to 9.6 (60) in Dan Gormley’s 150th game.

Jordan Capkin booted six goals for the Redlegs while Harper Leonard dominated.

Yabbies break the drought NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THREE years and three days or a total of 1099 days – that’s how long it had been since the Tyabb Football Club had been on its losing streak.

The Yabbies last win had come in the final home and away round of the 2013 season against Somerville.

On Saturday, facing 50 straight losses in a row, Tyabb broke the drought, dominating for four quarters to beat Pearcedale by 37 points, 13.8 (86) to 6.13 (49).

The Yabbies booted the first 11 goals of the game before Travis Bravo kicked the Panthers first at the 18 minute mark of the third quarter.

As you could imagine, the Yabbies belted out the club theme song with enormous gusto.

Coach Mark Paganoni said on Sunday morning that he was ‘still pinching myself wondering what happened yesterday.”

The Yabbies went into the game with four second gamers, fielding one of its youngest sides for the season.

In fact, 14 of the Yabbies’ playing group had played just 173 games between them. The average games among the 22 was less than 35.

Paganoni said his team “played out of their skin”.

“We’ve been threatening in fits and starts for a lot of the season but just lacked some belief,” Paganoni said.

“We conceded the first 10 goals against Devon Meadows and then got back to within 19 points, so I think that was the catalyst for the belief.

“Things went our way too. We won the toss, which we haven’t been able to do in games we gave ourselves a chance in, and things just worked out for us.

“The more experienced players in the group supported the younger players and shared the ball with them and it all went really well for us,” he said.

The Yabbies have been so close in 2016 and the final home and away win was just reward for the commitment of the group.

“We’ve had 40-50 players on the track, despite not winning a game, which says a lot about the group,” Paganoni said.

“Now we need to build on that. We need a couple of experienced players, because we have outstanding young talent, and we need some more people to support the club off the field.

“Hopefully this win is the catalyst to take us to greater heights in 2017,” he said.

Hastings and Red Hill will limp into their “do-or-die” elimination final on Sunday at Rosebud after coming-off horror losses in the final round of the season.

Hastings was thrashed by Frankston Bombers, conceding the first six goals of the game, while Red Hill was touched up by Sorrento, who missed the finals.

The Blues went into the game without ruckman Josh Mulherron, coach Brendan Dunne and arguably the best player in the game, Paul Rogasch.

This allowed Frankston’s Ryan Kitchen to control the ruck and dominate around the ground, dominate around the stoppages and clearances and kick easy goals.

The final score of 18.16 (124) to 15.7 (97) flattered Hastings. The Blues booted six unanswered goals in the fi-

nal quarter when the game was already iced. They trailed by more than 10 goals at three quarter time.

The reason the Blues were poleaxed was because of poor decision making and execution. The Blues also allowed the Bombers to have numbers behind the footy. They overused the footy and went indirect, playing totally into Frankston’s hands, allowing them to push back in numbers and utilise the spare.

Mark Devereaux and Nathan Gray were targeted physically by the Bombers but they withstood the onslaught and played very good games. Jake Hewitt was outstanding across half back and Scott Foster was clearly their best player.

The Bombers, who finished on top of the ladder, had winners everywhere.

Dale Sutton and Sam Fox dominated,

Fox booting four majors and Ryan Marks-Logan was outstanding, as always, in the back half.

The match as also Brian O’Carroll’s 150th game.

Red Hill were humiliated by Sorrento.

The Sharks had 40 scoring shots to just 15 and the result should have been a lot worse than 14.26 (110) to 8.7 (55).

A 10 goal loss going into an elimination final isn’t ideal.

There are some Red Hill players, who, in the past couple of weeks, have gone away from what they do best and that is hunting the ball and creating their own opportunities.

For the second week in a row, one of the games’ best in Harry Larwill, who is so important for the red and white, has been waiting for silver service. He

needs to get back to working hard.

Luke Tapscott was clearly the best player on the ground with five goals, while the Sharks also played Tom Langford in his second game, who had zero influence on the match.

Somerville geared up for its qualifying final against nemesis Rosebud with a convincing 17.17 (119) to 4.5 (29) win against Crib Point while Rosebud demolished yet another team, restricting Devon Meadows to 3.8 (26) while they booted 15.18 (108).

In the final game, Rye came back in the second half to beat Dromana by a point, 14.13 (97) to 14.12 (96). The Demons trailed by 17 points at half time but booted nine goals to six after the break to scrape home in a thriller.

Baxter in promotion romp, bad break for Ojo SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER continued to celebrate promotion from State 5 South with a 3-0 win over visitor Pakenham United on Saturday.

Baxter created enough chances to make this a double-figure rout as Shaun Walker turned on a midfield masterclass while strikers Mark Pagliarulo and Liam Kilner terrorised the Pakenham defence.

The visitors can thank keeper Jarrod Reynolds whose heroics time and again kept his team in the contest.

Baxter should have scored four goals inside a five-minute period of the first half highlighted by an interpassing combination involving Frank Ntim and Pagliarulo and ending with a first-time Kilner volley that went wide.

One minute later Daniel Disseldorp unleashed a 25-metre thunderbolt that sent the ball crashing against the inside of the far post and bouncing back across goal before being scrambled clear.

Pagliarulo finally broke the deadlock in the 51st minute when he received a quick long throw-in on the left of the penalty box then skinned two defenders before sending a firm low shot that beat a diving Reynolds at the near post.

Bryce Ingram and Daniel Sharratt blew oneon-one chances before Kilner gave Baxter a two-goal cushion with a firm header in the 71st minute getting on to the end of substitute Rhys Wilson’s deflected cross.

Pagliarulo broke onto a long Heath Goss ball in the 80th minute and once clear of Reynolds had a tap-in to complete the scoreline.

Rosebud Heart remained on track to complete the season with a perfect record in State 5 South after a 3-1 home win over East Bentleigh on Saturday.

Dave Greening gave Heart the lead in the 25th minute with a spectacular side-foot volley following a superb Blake Hicks cross.

But East Bentleigh caught out Heart on the counter attack in the 45th minute to make it 1-1.

Despite dominating possession in the second stanza Heart had to wait until the 76th minute to regain the lead thanks to a low volley from Hicks from just inside the box.

Eight minutes later a long clearance from Heart keeper Sean Skelly sent Greening through and he made no mistake for his 28th goal of the league campaign.

The State 2 South-East clash between Peninsula Strikers and St Kilda on Saturday was abandoned after Strikers keeper Ritchie Ojo fractured his tibia and dislocated his ankle in the 15th minute and had to be taken to Frankston Hospital.

Ojo was operated on the following morning and his playing future remains uncertain.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United continued its recent fine form with a 1-0 away win over Doncaster Rovers in their State 2 South-East encounter last Friday night.

Seaford has now taken eight points from its past four games and what once loomed as a horror season has been transformed thanks to senior coach Paolo Pinheiro and his staff.

Dylan Waugh has played a significant role in the change in the club’s fortunes and his 15th goal of the season was enough to give Pinheiro’s men all three points against Rovers.

The home team failed to clear a Paul McGuire corner in the 30th minute gifting Waugh a simple header.

McGuire was denied from the penalty spot by Rovers keeper Matt Davoli in the 65th minute while Seaford custodian Paul DiGiorgio, who has been in fine form since returning from injury, chalked up another clean sheet.

Mornington maintained its march towards back-to-back State 1 South-East titles with a 3-0 away win over relegation-threatened Berwick City on Saturday.

Goals to Steve Elliott, Shane Tagliaferro and Andy Skledar in the second half settled the issue.

Mornington has received an international clearance from the Hellenic Football Federa-

Langwarrin edged out Mooroolbark 4-3 in Saturday’s State 1 South-East contest at Esther Park.

Mooroolbark’s Brett Tronconi looped a floating header over Langy keeper Robert Acs in the 34th minute to open the scoring.

Langwarrin then had a strong penalty claim denied after Koray Suat was brought down but just on half-time another infringement on Suat saw the referee point to the penalty spot and Langy scoring legend Caleb Nicholes obliged.

The second half was only minutes old when Nicholes headed home a cross from Nick Thorogood to make it 2-1.

Within three minutes scores were level after Davey Breckett equalised for the home side with another header.

Nicholes secured his hat-trick from a free kick to make it 3-2 but an Alex Van Heerwarden own goal made it 3-3.

The issue was settled by Langy substitute Brandon Giles when he struck home a cutback

by Nicholes late in the match.

But for two stunning saves by Acs the home team could have come away with a share of the points.

Frankston Pines continued to stare down the barrel of relegation from State 1 South-East after losing 6-1 away to Malvern City last weekend.

Daniel Hilder and Jordan Templin both notched hat-tricks while Pines’ solitary response came from Josh Calle.

Pines’ captain Kyle Crawford has moved to New Zealand while veteran sweeper Ben Caffrey is overseas and will miss next weekend’s clash with Clifton Hill.

Goals to Matt Wilson (2), Nick Theodore and Michael Putson spearheaded a 4-3 away win for Skye United over Lyndale United last Saturday.

Skye remains on top of State 4 South a point ahead of Keysborough and is at home to East Brighton on Saturday night.

Hastings push ladder leaders HASTINGS FNC ON Saturday the Hastings Football/Netball Club travelled to top of the table Frankston Bombers in what loomed as a very tough assignment with a number of our more experience boys being rested for our cut-throat elimination final this Sunday against Red Hill Football/Netball club at Rosebud.

Saturday’s game was in particular very important for the opposition as they attempted to lock in top position on the MPNFL Ladder, and they certainly came out in the first quarter and displayed the endeavour and passion for the contest to put themselves in a commanding position at the quarter time break.

To our boy’s credit we fought back to be around four goals down at the main break.

The score line didn’t really alter much after this

with our boys putting in a really solid effort in the last quarter to only go down by 27 points.

The club now focuses on our second final series in two years; something we are really looking forward to.

We hope to get a massive crowd to support the club in its quest for a 22nd premiership.

THIS SATURDAY SENIORS HASTINGS FNC vs RED HILL FNC at Rosebud game starts at 2.00 pm.

Seniors Report THIS week was a funny game. The Bombers had everything on the line and we were in a dead rubber. The game panned out that way.

In patches we looked much better than them and at times their “want to win” was greater than ours.

Did you know... you can view our papers online

www.mpnews.com.au

This week we take on Red Hill in a massive final.

Reserves Report TODAY was a dark day for our footy side. We played a side who will give the premiership a real shake this coming finals series and we didn’t give a whimper.

Although we haven’t won too many games this year our team has played with desire and pride to not give up but today we showed our belly to a team playing for a second chance.

After the game we had a chat and a couple of honest truths were said. Hopefully we learn from our wounds and return next year bigger and better.

Under 19s Report THE last game of year for us and we wanted a win. The boys were keen to avenge for a loss to the Bombers earlier in the year, so confidence was high.

The game started in our favour with a great goal to Andy Jeffs within the first minute, followed by some great defensive work from our back six lead by Fraser Rendall and Jack Abrehart.

At half time we level pegging with Joel Taylor and Aaron King working tirelessly in the midfield. Goal of year contender Kaylen Jansen was giving us plenty of run at half forward.

Going into the last the boys were committed to fighting it out to the end. We played some tough contested footy in the last but were unable to snatch victory going down by ten points to a team that has made finals. A fantastic effort with seventeen players.

Thanks boys for a great season lets look forward to bigger and better things next year.

Netball Report WE travelled to Frankston facing two well drilled

sides in C grade and B grade. In particular a finals side for B grade.

C grade started the game off well and were able to keep up with Frankston. While there wasn’t another win on the board to finish off the season, the improvement made by Hastings from the very first meeting at the beginning of the season against Frankston was out of sight. This marks an exciting time for this team to move into a second season together and continue this improvement in 2017. There was a great effort from the goalers in converting goals and defence providing opportunities for the team to score. This game by far indicates the improvement made by all of the girls involved in C grade this year at Hastings.

B grade started a little slower than usual this week which was disappointing, as the game progressed there was a realisation that the game could have been ours. None the less the girls played the game out in true blues style and made the challenge tough for Frankston really making them earn the 4 points. We were especially proud of the way the girls went about the game with integrity and true sportsmanship regardless of the challenge.

We finished off the season with some fun in the final quarter making some gutsy changes which only cemented the way we played the game out truly as a team. For B grade, this game also indicated the improvement we made over the season, and with continued training and commitment, the only way is up in 2017! *** Upcoming Functions: Upcoming Function: Presentation Night 22nd October, 2016 from 6.00 pm Cost $50 Single Under 19s $35 Single at The Hastings Club, For bookings call 5979 1740. #getonboardthebluestrain
