Middleton comes to Mornington By Melissa Walsh THIS Australia Day, Mornington will experience the incredible talents of Darren Middleton, best known for his contributions to the legacy of Australian music as the guitarist in iconic Brisbane band Powderfinger who took the nation by storm dominating the Australian charts from their humble beginnings in 1992, right up until their disbanding in 2010. Middleton will grace the Mornington stage with violinist Kelly Lane from Skipping Girl Vinegar, belting out a selection of tunes. “I am really looking forward to hitting the peninsula as I haven’t been there for quite some time,” says Middleton, who has previously visited Sorrento. “I love doing smaller gigs now I have stepped into my solo career as they are so different from my Powderfinger days.” Middleton has recently released his album Splinters, a follow up to his 2013 full length debut solo album Translations. With each new song on the new album, Darren sheds a splinter of his soul, carving unique stories that join together in creating a solid body of work that has as much depth as the strongest of heartwood. The album is relatable and touches on many themes and relationships; the relationship we have with our inner self, friends, lovers, in business, the world and society. “All of our life is a relationship, an ever evolving and changing landscape of security, safety, hurdles, loss and discovery and both with Translations and Splinters, I am basically looking at my journey so far and laying it bare in songs,” says Middleton. “When I write now it is like I have zoomed in and taken a snapshot of my own personal existence. It is a great time in my life to be able to play this music to smaller audiences in more intimate settings.” Middleton will be playing a range of songs from albums, old band stuff and possibly some covers on Australia Day. “I don’t have set list, just see how we feel at the time and the feel of the audience,” says Middleton.

Crib Point under fire
CLOUDS of smoke dwarf a helicopter water bomber as it tries to save Crib Point from a fire that spread so quickly that residents were told to stay home. There was no early warning. Less than one hour earlier firefighters had for the second week running controlled a blaze on the Esplanade. That first fire, on Monday 11 January, is believed to have been deliberately lit. ‘Firefighters rush to save Crib Point’ - Pages 2 & 3 Picture: Gary Sissons

Fighting on land and in the air: The aerial water bombardment of Monday’s fire at Crib Point was a major boost to the efforts of the more than 100 firefighters on the ground. Smoke soared above the town as the fire crews battled to keep the blaze from houses. Ricky Thompson took the photo at left while moving horses to safety. Photographer Gary Sissons had just filed shots of CFA firefighters extinguishing a fire on the Esplanade before returning to the embattled town when a more dangerous blaze broke out near Creswell St. Channel 9’s helicopter pilot provided viewers with live vision of the fire, below right, and a wider shot as it headed towards Western Port.

Firefighters rush to save Crib Point Emergency warnings extended to Stony Pt and HMAS Cerberus STAY home, it’s too late to go. That emergency warning just after 4pm Monday was the first many Crib Point residents heard about their homes being under threat from a fire in scrubland to the township’s north. A blaze near The Esplanade had been brought under control about a one hour earlier, without any loss of property. That fire was almost identical to one a week earlier in the same area which police believe was deliberately lit. However, it was the fire which quickly spread across 64 hectares on land bounded by Stony Point Rd and Creswell and Cooma streets that saw residents told to stay home and take whatever precautions they could. The warning was extended to residents at Stony Point and naval training base, HMAS Cerberus. At the height of the blaze emergency workers, including a Coast Guard boat, were frantically combing mud flats and mangroves on the foreshore for a 76-year-old woman reported missing by her distressed daughter. Just after 7pm deputy chief fire officer Steve Warrington announced the woman had been found safe and sound among the mangroves where she had sought refuge. With temperatures in the mid-30s and fresh wind from the north, the fire spread so quickly that the emergency alert from the CFA on ABC radio was the first and only one issued, although many residents had by that time managed to leave the town for safety. The CFA quickly mobilised 22 fire trucks, 100 firefighters and called in three fire-bombing aircraft in a bid to bring the fire under control before a predicted wind change. At 4.45 deputy chief fire officer Steve Warrington told ABC radio that the wind was expected to swing the fire back on itself within 15 to 20 minutes, again threatening property owners who may have thought the fire had passed them by. He said an expected wind change – from north to south – would lower the temperature for fire fighters but prob-
ably “turn the fire, putting pressure on houses in King St”. He said the air crane (Elvis) was on the scene assisting 20 trucks. “We are mounting an aggressive attack on the fire in scrub and grassland,” Mr Warrington said. He said people have a heightened awareness with all the publicity surrounding fires – especially on the western side of the Mornington Peninsula. “This fire is 100 metres from homes – suburban Melbourne brick veneers,” Mr Warrington said. “We are doing the best we can to protect life and assets.” Asked about the speed of the “Too late to leave” order, Mr Warrington said: “The biggest killer is radiant heat. The worst place to be is out in the open air. It would be like standing in front of 1000 radiators. You will burn. “It is best to get inside and shut exterior doors and windows, shut blinds and curtains and turn off air conditioning.” By 5.15pm the CFA was reporting 20 homes under threat. At 5.22 Channel 9 broadcast live vision of two burning houses. 5.36pm: The Channel 9 helicopter’s pilot reported that the cooler wind change had given the fire “a whole new aspect” with spotting occurring all over the place. It was “very active along its northern edge”. “If it keeps running at this pace it will be at the beach soon and that’s 500 metres away,” the pilot said. “Chopper crews are having trouble getting under the thick smoke but are water bombing around a lone car which may or may not have people inside.” Police had closed off Woolleys Rd at both ends and reported there was one house in the fire’s path. By 5.40 a resident of Stony Point Rd between Lorimer St and Governors Rd said he felt the danger to his property had passed. The wind change had arrived and apart from the presence of helicopters it was impossible to tell there was an emergency nearby.
However, he had been ready to flee “with just our passports and the guinea pig. What do you take when you’re in a house surrounded by all the things you love?” Four minutes later the CFA said the fire was out of control and burning rapidly north easterly towards Western Port. A further bulletin at 6.20 warned resident against returning home. By 7.05 the fire warning was downgraded to “watch and act”. The result was the loss of two houses, two sheds and a garage.

Owners thrilled with Magic Millions run Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ALTHOUGH he didn’t win the Magic Millions 2-year-old Classic on the Gold Coast, the nine local owners couldn’t be happier with Mornington horse Claro El Banco. In only his fourth race – and third since winning the Magic Millions Clockwise Classic over 1000 metres at Ballarat in November – the gelding came eighth in a field of 16, earning $10,000 prizemoney. “He ran well considering the barrier draw – number 17 – and didn’t lose ground,” said part-owner Peter Seaman, of Somerville, who attended the $2.5 million race Saturday last week. “We are all very proud of him and loved the whole Magic Millions experience. It was fantastic just being there: where else could you be enjoying champagne with [the Queen’s grandchild] Zara Phillips and [businessman] Gerry Harvey at the barrier draw?” Big prizemoney added to the thrill of the race in what were described as challenging conditions. The winner, Capitalist, received $1.2 million, second placed Nikitas $370,000, third-placed Candika $180,000, fourth $90,000 fifth $50,000 and all the others $10,000. Claro El Banco seemed to feel right at home, with Mornington trainer Jason Petch saying his charge had “thrived” in the two-week lead-up to the feature race on Saturday 9 January, despite tiring late to finish seventh in the Wyong Magic Millions Classic

over 1100 metres on the way there. “A lot of horses can come up to this warmer climate and they can thrive and he now looks like a piece of shiny copper – his coat is magnificent,” he told Racing News before the race. Another part-owner, Roy Farrell, of Mornington, said Claro El Banco was one of two Victorian horses in the race – the other guided by well-known trainer David Hayes. “He ran a tremen-
dous race and the jockey, Glyn Schofield’s, report afterwards was glowing. “We are only a group of small-time owners and lovers of racing. We have now doubled our outlay in prizemoney, and it is an absolute thrill to even get this far.” The nine owners paid $80,000 for the horse which won $155,000 at Ballarat in November – allowing him entry to the Magic Millions – and $10,000 last week.
He’ll now have a well-earned rest at Beaudesert, near Brisbane, before contesting some of the big autumn races in Melbourne. Mr Seaman said Claro El Banco could race at the Gold Coast again as a three and four year old. “He has a bright future up there,” he said. “And he likes running the wrong way (clockwise, as in NSW, and not counterclockwise, as in Victoria).
The owners paid tribute to smalltime trainer Petch, who was still driving home along the east coast last week. “He really puts in,” Mr Seaman said. “My heart goes out to him. We get messages daily; he had a two-to-threeweek plan for the race and he organised track riders beforehand. “He’s really done the right thing by us.”

Rescuers fly high for safety’s sake Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SURF rescue helicopters are patrolling peninsula beaches daily to keep a look out for sharks, rips and people in distress in the water this summer. Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett said the helicopter rescue service, run by Life Saving Victoria, had already completed 50 patrols along Victoria’s coastline this summer. “Rips are dangerous and unpredictable. Have a plan, check for warning signs and know what you're going to do if you or your kids get caught in a rip,” Ms Garrett said. Life Saving Victoria says it is almost certain at least one person will drown on peninsula beaches this summer. Five people drowned here in the 2014-15 financial year, which represents 13 per cent of the 39 drownings across Victoria. In the 10-year period 2004-14, 41 people drowned on the peninsula and 115 were taken to hospital after almost drowning. Westpac lifesaver rescue helicopters have responded to 250 emergencies since the summer of 2009-10, including five incidents in the first week of this year alone. Two crews will scan the water looking for people in distress, boating accidents, rip currents and marine life, such as sharks. They will patrol the coastline from Waratah Bay in South Gippsland to Apollo Bay in south-western Victoria. Pilots will alert lifeguards on the ground and sound sirens from the air if they spot
sharks swimming close to beaches. Their role is becoming increasingly relevant with more people getting into trouble in the water. Many are unaware of the dangers of rips and currents. A Hampton Park man was saved from drowning at Blairgowrie’s Koonya surf beach, Christmas Eve. Three bystanders braved the surf for two hours to rescue the man who had drifted 500 metres out to sea. The 56-year-old was barely breathing and having difficulty staying afloat. A man and a woman died last week in The Alfred hospital after getting into trouble at Woolamai beach, Phillip Island, Sunday 10 January. They were among a group of seven family and work colleagues who got into trouble in waist-deep water, 7.30pm. The sandbank on which they were standing gave way and rips pulled them out of their depth, they said. Fortunately for the others, surfers and off-duty lifesavers were on hand to pull them from the water, perform CPR, and call emergency services. The surf rescue choppers can also support search-and-rescue operations for missing swimmers and boats, winch people to safety, and respond to distress signals sent by fishermen and others who find themselves in trouble on the water. Patrols will run daily until Australia Day – when thousands of holidaymakers head to Victoria’s beaches and coastal towns. It will then run weekends and public holidays until Easter.
Staying in time over holidays SCHOOL pupils took time out from their regular holiday activities to indulge their musical creativity at the Peninsula Youth Music Society’s 36th Summer Music School at Mt Erin Secondary College, Frankston. The school ran programs for musicians aged 5-19. Activities included Rhythm ‘N Beat, Movement and Dance and singing for pupils aged five and over with no music experience. There was also Try an Instrument – sponsored by Mornington Peninsula Shire under its creative community
grants program – and Percussive Beat for pupils aged nine and over with little or no experience. Others were Concert Band and De Bruin Stage Band for woodwind brass and percussion students; Birrell String Orchestra for young string players and Margaret Conyers String Orchestra for the older string players. The Royal Vocal Theatre Style Group was enjoyed for those interested in singing songs from musicals and other sources. Picture: Yanni

Sky-rail plan remains up in the air Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au PLANS to remove level crossings along the Frankston line using elevated rail are still up in the air according to the state government. Plans for a so-called ‘suburban sky-rail’, with rail lines raised two storeys above street level, have been submitted to the government during the tender process for the Dandenong rail corridor upgrade. There are suggestions elevated rail could be built at southern sections of the Frankston line including Carrum and Bonbeach. Underground water close to Port Phillip Bay and Patterson River may mean tunnelling is not a viable option at some level crossing intersections. Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan says no final decision has yet been made on whether rail will be elevated at any point along the Frankston line. “We promised to remove the eight remaining dangerous and congested level crossings on the Frankston line, and we are still considering the best way to do that,” Ms Allan said. “Consultation with local residents will take place this year, and will inform how the dangerous and congested level crossings on the Frankston line will be removed.” Liberal opposition spokesman for planning David Davis said bayside voters should have been consulted about “a railway line high in the air” before last year’s state election. “It would be visually unappealing near Melbourne’s great beach assets and will have an extraordinary impact on those who live near it with deafening sound,” Mr Davis said. “It is an option that was not laid on the table before the election and no-one voted for this.” An architect report released in 2014 found
an elevated road or rail structure is “often a cheaper solution” but “will have a significant physical presence and impact on a place”. RMIT University lecturer on urban design Ian Woodcock last year told The News he believed elevated rail lines are a good solution since they free up land for other uses underneath the rail line. “You can use the land for all kinds of stuff. You can create open public land there,” Mr Woodcock said. “You can put shops around the station area and integrate it better with the neighbourhood. There’s potentially a huge public benefit with elevated rail at the right locations.” Mr Davis acknowledged elevated rail may be the best option at some, but not all, level crossing sites. “Nobody is arguing that there’s no location where this may be part of what’s required but this is being proposed as a solution on several
Line works: Level crossings removal works will be a common sight along the Frankston line in the next few years. Picture: Gary Sissons
lines for long distances and it’s clearly going for the cheapest option,” he said. “Cost control is important but not at the expense of long-term outcomes. These level crossing removals … are a once in a century change and it has to be done right.” The Labor state government had pledged to separate 50 level crossings across Victoria within eight years, including 11 along the Frankston line. Frankston Council acting CEO Tim Frederico said council had been briefed on grade separation projects “but there has been no discussion regarding a raised rail network”. RACV public policy general manager Brian Negus has said all options must be looked at to separate rail from road at level crossing intersections. “Two examples where elevated rail solutions may well be the superior alternative are the Dandenong and Frankston corridors.”
Beach injuries AMBULANCE Victoria had a busy Sunday, with multiple incidents and rescues reported on Mornington Peninsula beaches: At 10.30am a man in his 40s swimming at Portsea was knocked over by a wave, dislocating his shoulder. He was taken to Rosebud hospital in a stable condition. At 3.10pm a teenage girl was hit by a boogie board and then by another swimmer, also at Portsea, injuring her head and neck. She was taken to Rosebud hospital in a stable condition. At 3.39pm a woman in her 30s suffered a serious cut to her leg when she fell on a boat mooring at Dromana. She was taken to Frankston Hospital in a stable condition. At 5.55pm two jet skis collided at Mt Martha, knocking a man in his 30s unconscious, witnesses said. He sustained a neck injury and was taken to Frankston hospital in a stable condition.

Waste threatens carbon neutrality David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au LAWYERS and an internal governance team helped draw up a newspaper advertisement which appears to contradict a Mornington Peninsula Council decision to close Rye tip by 30 June, 2018. The advertisement, published on 28 October, stated that the shire was “strongly considering” closing the site – certainly not an accurate reflection of the councillors’ decision. Without closing the tip and exporting its waste off the peninsula the shire
will almost certainly be unable to meet its aim of being “carbon neutral”. Keeping its waste on the peninsula could also be embarrassing in the wake of the shire being named as one of two Australian municipalities to sign an international Compact of Mayors for its efforts in minimising climate change. The official explanation for the nonspecific wording of the advertisement states that “strongly considering” closing the tip was consistent with the status of the council’s resolution when advertising for expressions of interest by waste carriers. “This wording was agreed on as it provided the market confidence that
the council was in a position to proceed to contract, contingent on the outcome of the EOI [expression of interest] process as specified in the council recommendation,” renewable resources team leader Jess Wingad said. The decision to close Rye tip was overturned at council’s 14 December meeting with a 5-4 vote to retain the tip pending an alternative waste technology solution and to investigate dumping waste at Tyabb. But that decision may not stand beyond this year’s first meeting on 27 January, when councillors will debate a motion to rescind the 14 December decision, which threw into disarray the
shire policy to achieve carbon neutrality as quickly as possible. Retaining shire waste on the peninsula at Tyabb will make it virtually impossible to achieve carbon neutrality. The gist of discussion at the first meeting was to move waste away from the shire. The phrase “off the peninsula” appeared six times in the officer’s report presented to that meeting. The October advertisement did not mention this. Ms Wingad: “The requirement to dispose of waste ‘off the Peninsula’ is implied through the resolution as there are no other licenced [sic] landfills on the Mornington Peninsula that can take municipal waste.”
The advertisement does not mention the requirement to move waste off the peninsula, stating only that “provision of a landfill” would be required “for the receipt and disposal of municipal waste”. Ms Wingad accompanied the mayor Cr Graham Pittock and Cr Hugh Fraser as part of the shire’s delegation to the the Paris climate talks in December. The shire said Ms Wingad was at the talks to “learn the latest global trends and their potential application locally”. Ratepayers bore the estimated $18,000 cost for the three. The two councillors say they will repay any expenditure over the $16,000 they are allowed each four-year term.
Focusing on life down under Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SHEREE Marris submerges herself in her work. An outspoken advocate the Mornington Peninsula, she concentrates on its rarely seen and hidden attractions. To actually see Marris at work requires some beach accessories, but not the ones advertised in style magazines or found hanging in trendy boutiques. An aquatic scientist, Marris is more usually billed as a “marine educator” and has long promoted the attractions that live under the waters of Port Phillip. Marris has been widely published and exposed on TV and radio in her quest to highlight the unusual and unexpected life forms that dwell beneath the bay’s surface. Her latest foray into the abundant waters is the documentary, Melbourne Down Under, which “brings to life” the coffee table book of the same name she published in 2011. A trailer for the production shows glimpses of life, and death, between the surface and the seabed, including seals and birds have successfully adapted to catching their prey underwater. The film shows the beauty and majesty unwittingly presented by life forms that live solely in the watery environment, their colours, agility and movement, especially shoals of fish. It also shows how suddenly things can change: the crab moving towards the camera with claws raised is oblivious to the danger from behind until the octopus strikes.
On the other side of the ledger a moment of wonder is created when a seal comes nose to nose with a weedy sea dragon, an seahorse-related marine fish that has to be seen to be believed. The former Hastings resident and Young Australian of the Year (2002), Marris says the documentary aims “to promote the wonders of Port Phillip, encourage exploration and use it as a platform to discuss how we can look after it”. “If people don’t know what exists on our front door step we can’t expect them to care.”
Most of the footage is shot in the waters around the peninsula by Marris and a small team of cinematographers. ”We also filmed a number of world first behavioural sequences which was exciting,” Marris said. Free screenings of Melbourne Down Under are being held at the Speigel Zelt (Three Palms), 154 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento, 1-5pm and 2-8pm Monday 25 January. The first session includes a display of “beachcombing treasures” for children while the later session also includes the feature, Sex in the Sea.

Frogs on call after Hastings & District Community Bank Branch
IN HASTINGS FOR THE LONG HAUL! A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Seven years ago the local community got behind the concept of a community bank. And so the Bendigo Bank (Hastings Community Bank Branch) was started. The branch offers a complete and very competitive banking service including business banking facilities, housing loans, deposits, etc. as well as insurance and financial planning services But more than that, in the past seven years we have given back over $300,000 to the local community. That’s $300,000 to make our community stronger. That’s because we are here for the long term. We believe in the future of Hastings and the power of a community that believes in itself.
WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. SWITCH YOUR BANKING TO US. We make it easy and hassle free. Ask us how today. BUT IT’S BIGGER THAN THAT. You will be helping to build a stronger community. IT’S SUPPORTING YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY Your Community Bank invests it’s profits into your local community, so just by banking with us you automatically become part of something bigger. Bigger than a bank!
FROGS become more obvious after summer rains. Often heard but not seen, some of the common species to look out for are the common froglet, striped marsh frog and growling grass frog. To encourage the frogs to stick around, the Backyard Buddies program of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife has issued tips on making a pond. “Water is incredibly important for Australia’s wildlife, especially our huge variety of frogs,” foundation CEO Susanna Bradshaw said. “A pond can offer an easy, permanent water source for your local amphibian buddies and will also benefit lots of other native animals too. “Australia is home to over 200 species of frogs that are found nowhere else in the world. Sadly Australia also has one of the highest rates of amphibian extinction in the world. So anything that can be done around Frankston or the Mornington Peninsula to provide habitat for them will be a big help.” Ms Bradshaw said frogs are facing threats from Chytrid fungus, water pollution, drought and predation from introduced pests. “Their numbers haven’t plummeted like this since the extinction of the dinosaurs,” Ms Bradshaw said. Providing a pond was “the best thing you can do for local frogs”. The presence of frog indicated a healthy ecosystem “as they are very sensitive to chemicals and environmental degradation” and cautioned against touching frogs as they reacted
to sunscreen or insect repellent. “We strongly advise that you do not relocate frogs or tadpoles as you could unintentionally be spreading the deadly Chytrid fungus,” she said. “While not all frogs live around ponds, they all need a water
Heart attack jolts bank into action WHEN a local Men’s Shed member collapsed suffering a heart attack last year he could have been dead within minutes had it not been for the quick action of one of his colleagues applying CPR while waiting for an ambulance with the necessary equipment. The member survived the attack but the incident lead to a discussion with the Hastings Community Bank (Bendigo Bank branch) around the need for an on-site defibrillator. Investigation revealed a statistically higher than normal risk of heart attack at Men’s Sheds because of the ages and health issues of some members, many of whom spend considerable time at the shed. Consequently the Community Bank decided to purchase defibrillator units for both the Peninsula North (Baxter) and the Western Port (Hastings) Men’s Sheds. Recently the Hastings group conducted a training session to ensure members were confident in using the machine quickly if it became necessary. The training course focused on the ease of operating the machine by following simple verbal
instructions programmed to start when the machine is switched on. The defibrillator machine has inbuilt sensors which help the operator as well as a diagram on the pads to assist in their placement. The training session also demonstrated the importance of a clear airway and applying CPR (heart massage) as complimentary and important elements when using the defibrillator. Men’s Shed secretary Colin Proud thanked the Hastings Community Bank and said how much the members appreciated the support. “Members can be confident that they now have a much better chance of surviving a heart attack should such an event occur at the Shed. In addition they have the added confidence of being much better prepared to help someone else in that situation as well.” Both Men’s Sheds meet regularly and always welcome visitors and new members. Contact details can be obtained from the Hastings Community Bank.
Life saver: Western Port (Hastings) Men’s Shed secretary Colin Proud (centre, in blue) and training officer Andrew Clinkaberry show off the new defibrillator.

source to reproduce and keep their porous skin moist.” Ms Bradshaw free apps were available to help identify frogs calls which were made by male frogs trying to
attract females. Go to www.backyardbuddies.net.au for step by step directions for making a frog pond. To see frogs in your area see the Atlas of Living Australia.
ARCTO has become a regular attraction at Dromana, but the rules are: look but don’t touch. The adult bull seal first landed on the beach two summers ago and this year took up residence for four days early in January. On warm days beachgoers vying for their own bit of sand make it a bit hard to avoid the Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus), although Arcto seems happy enough to share. “This is Arcto's third straight summer at Dromana and we want to make sure people stay at least 30 metres from him if he does come back," De-
partment of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) authorised officer Abby Smith said. Protected under the Wildlife Act, onlookers must stay at least 30 metres (dogs 50m) from Arcto and not touch or feed him. Ms Smith said she had “checked” the seal when he first appeared this year and found him to be in “fair to average health”. “He is a wild animal in his natural environment and we do not wish to unnecessarily interact with him," she said. "While we understand some peo-
ple might be curious or excited to see Arcto, the best chance of him staying in a non-stressed state is if people keep their distance. "We ask also those who might have dogs in the area to take a common sense approach by using a leash and remaining vigilant if Arcto is nearby. Ms Smith said the seal could have “all the time it needs” on the beach before getting “back into the swim of things”. For more information on the regulations, visit www.delwp.vic.gov.au or call 136 186. Sick, injured or distressed marine wildlife can be reported on 0447 158 676.

Heartless thieves stun the Strikers PENINSULA Strikers soccer club members are still in shock after thieves broke into their clubrooms on New Year’s Eve. President Mark Brandon discovered the break-in at the club’s Centenary Park headquarters on McClelland Drive. “Initially I thought that the attempted break-in had failed but, once police arrived, it became clear what had happened,” Brandon said. “Thieves got in through the roof damaging four separate ceilings, two toilets, the bar and our storeroom. They also removed a safe bolted to a wall and stole its entire contents, leaving us well short of funds for the coming season.” But the theft of charity tins left him shaking his head in disbelief. “My god niece had placed tins in the club to raise funds for her daughter’s fight against brain cancer and, although these tins were well marked, they were stolen as well. “There was a photo album placed in front of the tins and two photos were removed from the album. “It’s one thing for the club to lose money and not have insurance, but to steal money being raised for 10-month-old Aurora Hall is another and I still can’t come to terms with that. “Aurora was diagnosed with cancer at eight

months and, since then, doctors have remover 80 per cent of the tumour and the child is undergoing chemotherapy.
“Her parents are juggling their jobs with their daughter’s medical treatment and everyday life and now this heartless act.” Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic, of Frankston CIU, said it appeared the offenders were in the building for some time. “They have gone through the building jemmying internal doors. They have stolen from the safe and also stolen alcohol.” He said police were awaiting forensic results to advance their investigations. The Strikers will again raise money for Aurora at their season launch at Centenary Park on Saturday 27 February. Games will be held 1pm-5pm and, at 5.30pm Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley will open the club’s new training ground extension and floodlights. This will be followed by a game between explayers and peninsula celebrities. All soccer enthusiasts are encouraged to attend. Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to call Frankston police or Brandon via email at president@peninsulastrikers.com Craig Mackenzie

Jogging the point for the memory UP to 300 people are expected to participate in Alzheimer’s Australia’s memory walk and jog at Point Nepean National Park, Sunday 24 January. The fundraising event is part of Alzheimer’s Australia’s efforts to raise awareness about dementia across Victoria. They estimate that 3240 of the state’s 81,000 people with dementia live on the Mornington Peninsula. Without a medical breakthrough that figure is
predicted to rise to 10,153 people by 2050. The memory walk and Jog starts at the Quarantine Station with a 7 kilometre run at 8am, and 3.5km walk and 3.5km run at 9.30am. The event finishes at 11am. The idea of holding a memory walk and jog started in Homebush NSW and has grown, with events held late last year at Geelong and Bendigo. Other events are planned early this year at Doncaster and Albury Wodonga.
Alzheimer’s Australia hopes to raise $50,000 through the event at Point Nepean. “Many participants walk in memory of loved ones who have died from dementia and for those living with a diagnosis,” spokesperson Christine Bolt said. For more information visit reg.memorywalk. com.au/vic/mornington-peninsula/ The national dementia helpline number is 1800 100 500, fightdementia.org.au/vic
Harbour a test for Mornington’s junior sailors MORNINGTON Yacht Club juniors enjoyed the scenery – but not the wild weather – at the recent Laser, 420 and Optimist class championships in Sydney. Races were held at Newcastle, Sandringham (NSW), Rose Bay, Botany Bay and on Sydney Harbour, with Rear Commodore Chris Jackson saying the wet, windy days had posed “a big challenge” for the young group. “They have certainly learnt heaps, and return much more experienced.”
The Optimists, especially, copped a beating on Botany Bay. “During the first few days there were gusts over 25 knots and over 100mm of rain,” Mr Jackson said. “Visibility was so poor that a support boat had to turn on its powerful lights to show the finish line. The kids got much better at avoiding spectacular nose dives and capsizing on the run. “Sailing at the end of Kingsford Smith runway was also interesting. On the last day three Optimists were laid flat as a 747 flew low overhead.”

The Western Port Whisperer WELL it’s now 2016 and The Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer would like to welcome everyone to a brand new year. While they have been told there will be many changes in this new year, thus far the only one of note is people having to get used to writing 2016 instead of 2015. *** THE definition of a single word can be debated among various people. There is one word even Mr & Mrs Whisperer can agree on the definition of: ‘temporary’. This word generally means for a short time, or as a short term measure before a long term solution is found. It is with great effort that Mr & Mrs Whisperer try not to scratch their heads every time they drive through the intersection of Graydens and Boes Road, where a ‘temporary’ roundabout was installed over 18 months ago. It seems strange, that while the road safety message is being constantly repeated in many facets of society, the process of finding a permanent solution to this problem intersection (with a long history of collisions) has dragged
on for such a period of time. *** SPEAKING of ‘temporary’, The Whisperer is wondering if the wait for the directional signage to Hastings and other missing signs from the Peninsula Link will drag on until Christmas 2016. After being informed that the signs were to be installed by Christmas 2015, The Whisperer is (once again) disappointed this has dragged into another calendar year. Just as the Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer are left scratching their heads (something which happens regularly on the roads), it is not uncommon for the average motorist driving along Peninsula Link to scratch their heads wondering where towns like Hastings, Bittern, Crib Point or Mount Martha are located. Hopefully these much campaigned for signs magically appear sometime soon. *** THE Whisperer spies, with his little eye, something beginning with ‘g’. The Whisperer is not referring to Graydens Road, or even government, but rather one of the old chestnut problems that seems to have risen again like some zombie in a cheap film. The thing
beginning in ‘g’ is graffiti, and in particular offensive graffiti. It seems in our municipality, there is no time limit to remove graffiti from properties, especially tags that are offensive. The Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer are art aficionados and don’t mind viewing the occasional mural or two. There is nothing glamourous or impressive about graffiti attacking public institutions or individuals, especially when the said graffiti sits in full view of the public for anywhere between two months and two years. Unfortunately, it is the attitude of our local government to sit on their hands and pretend it can’t do anything about it, when clearly there are options for it to do so. If our sister cities to the north (Casey and Frankston) can have comprehensive policies to remove graffiti from most properties in their municipalities, why can’t these policies be implemented on the Mornington Peninsula? *** HEARD a whisper? Let the Whisperer know: westernportwhisperer@gmail.com

Light trumps heat on councillors’ Paris jaunt “PUBLIC debate can sometimes produce a lot of heat but not much light.” The light of Emu’s life, his Blushing Bride, has just walked into his man cave and made a pronouncement, wearing her profound scholarly look. It comes out of the blue: Emu thought she was pulling weeds in the vegie patch. But, one can get inspiration while thinning young carrots, he supposes as he braces for more philosophy. And wait long he does not have to. “I’ve been doing some research. About this council trip to Paris. Two of them went – and a staffer.” Emu is vaguely aware of what she speaks. He senses an impending fact avalanche. The Blushing Bride did a semester on research techniques at one of her courses, from which Emu has been subjected to much information, useful and otherwise. He braces. “I am contemplating a Letter to the Editor about Paris,” the BB intones, “to set a few people straight. They have been writing to the editor saying it was junket and other unkind and uninformed things and they don’t have all the facts. I do.” And, Emu must say that, to his surprise, his spouse does indeed have some pretty good facts. She has printed them out and now waves them at him – a thick sheaf of paper that contains an entire council annual report, marked with stick-on tag place-holders and decorated with litres of yellow highlighter. “Look,” she says, flicking to a section headed Councillor Expenses. “They’re entitled, by law” – her glare and tone emphasise these words – “by

law,” she repeats, “to be reimbursed for travel costs, mileage for their own car, child care…” The list momentarily becomes white noise until Emu hears “… conferences and training expenses” emphasised in that tone. He snaps back into concentration mode. This, it appears, is the gist of it. The Paris jaunt, to a global climate change conference, was paid for out of this allowance. Emu, a latter day environmentalist, is keen on carbon neutrality. The family ancestral pile, Emu Ruo, was largely decarbonised several years ago after the BB did a course on waste gases and the like. Emu is largely gasfree these days. “The rules are very strict,” says the BB, waving another document at him. As it flashes past he spots the words “policy” and “Local Government Regulations”. It is titled Attendance
at Interstate & Overseas Seminars and Conferences Policy. Not snappy but informative, even down to which form (A1808648) must be filled in by attendees “for inclusion in the appropriate statutory register”. “It’s all governed by the Local Government Act,” Mrs Emu says. And every dollar must be accounted for. There were no ratepayer-paid trips to the Folies Bergère or the Moulin Rouge, I can assure you. “What do the critics want? For councillors to have to fork out to get better educated, or to gather information vital to the shire’s future? Is that how business works? I don’t think so.” The BB can teeter towards the edge of socialistic thoughts from time to time. “For a talented woman with children not to stand for council because she can’t afford to pay for child care? For councillors to have pay to tel-
ephone ratepayers? For travelling to meetings? Where would these people stop? No pay, no allowances?” She is running hot. “Their pay – it’s called an allowance – is about $28,000 a year. Who gives up a heap of spare time for that? They put in a lot of hours for us and they cop a lot of criticism. It’s so unfair.” Emu is barely able to believe what he is hearing. He must ask his spouse later what she has been reading, what New Year resolution she has made, if the parsnip wine is a good vintage. A defender of councillors she has not previously been. “What did the councillors learn in Paris, apart from the fact that Australia is near the bottom of the world heap on tackling in climate change? Here’s the shire, heading for carbon neutrality, setting a good example, and out come the critics!”
She pauses and sinks into a chair, seemingly exhausted. Emu eyes her cautiously. He suggests gently that she might like a cup of bush tea. She nods. “We’ll hear when the Paris report goes to council, how much the councillors have learned. “They must, by law, lodge a report. Then the critics can have their say. Unless they want to continue with their uninformed comments.” Is she planning to stand for council, Emu wonders. It is an election year. Not that she’d be claiming for child care. It must be the climate change thing, he decides as he fills the kettle. She’s a mother after all, and mothers never take their eye off the welfare of the next generations. Yes, that must be it. “Cake with that, Dear?” he asks, suddenly very fond of her. He hopes there is cake.
LETTERS Green, not PUP I was campaigning against the huge expansion of the Port of Hastings with all the proposed dredging of Western Port full stop (“Changing sides”, Letters 12/1/16). Barry Macmillan’s assertions that I campaigned for Clive Palmer or anyone else is fanciful to say the least. I was handing out [publicity] for the Greens. All I would like to say about the Liberal crew is that their behaviour at pre-poll towards the person from Palmer United Party was a complete disgrace and I probably stood up to their bullying towards this poor woman trying to do her job. Barrie Macmillan, in typical Liberal fashion under Abbott, seems stuck in the past and appears ready to say and do anything to defend what I see as socially bankrupt ideas of a failing neo conservative agenda. Hats off to him, he is consistent with the
person I met at pre poll in Hastings and who I’m looking forward to seeing at the hustings later this year. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Fire lessons How scary is it that before the fires arrived in Western Australia grid power electricity failed, so that water supply also failed? During hot dry periods demand for electricity is high. Coal-fired power stations consume huge amounts of water. If Hazelwood caught fire again, would there be enough water to hose it down without major power brown outs? Here’s an idea, to be sure of water and power supply, how about a pipeline from a huge desalination plant to Hazelwood, both owned by GDF-SUEZ, taxpayer funded, of course? When will we get serious about distributed electricity generation to reduce danger from grid power failure, especially for regional townships exposed to bush fire? Bernie McComb, Cowes
Path petition Mornington Peninsula Shire Council ignored a petition signed by 90 per cent of contactable owners opposing a scheme to construct footpaths in McCrae. As property owners we like the informality of McCrae and its difference from suburban Melbourne. We are also concerned with the cost of the footpaths. The cost to each owner in the original Scheme was $2522 or $1261 depending on which side of the street has the single footpath. These are not insignificant amounts to be paid for something most do not want. Further galling to many property owners was the last minute introduction by Cr David Gibb of a reduction to residents of up to $500 in one of the streets because it is connected to a freeway underpass. The reduction should apply across the whole scheme. The change was introduced without any warn-

ing or consultation and came after more than six months of promotion by council of the original scheme. The shire’s documentation indicated that the underpass had already been considered. If most councillors did not know of the motion or its content before it was voted on this should raise concerns about council governance. The Local Government Act emphasises that council’s criteria for apportionment of contributions to special charge schemes must be fair, even and equitable and owners should be consulted before the scheme is declared. This did not happen for what is now a very different scheme. It seems council will do anything to continue to seal all streets and roads irrespective of ratepayers’ wishes, the effect on the environment, loss of vegetation and the unwanted transformation to an urbanised concrete filled streetscape.

Push for extra 5 Art, summer and the spirit of things pokies is kids play Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A CHILDREN’S play area at a Langwarrin pub is being used as a bargaining chip in a push for more pokies machines. The Langwarrin Hotel wants to install 10 more electronic gaming machines and has written to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation to advise a planned kids’ play area at the venue “will be significantly reduced in scope if approval for these additional gaming machines is not obtained”. The hotel holds a licence for the 52 pokies machines at its CranbourneFrankston Rd premises. An application by the Langwarrin Hotel for the extra 10 machines was debated by Frankston councillors behind closed doors after last month’s public council meeting. Council decided discussion about the application should be a confidential matter after seeking legal advice. The hotel’s threat to downsize a planned playground upgrade, approved by Frankston Council in late 2014, came in a submission dated October 2015 by hotel owner and general manager Peter Beretta to the VCGLR. The submission - including reasons to install more pokies - also includes examples of events hosted by a Kids Club for children under 10 in an attempt to bolster the application’s chance of success. Mr Beretta told The News he did not wish to comment about the application for more pokies machines.
An expenditure report lodged with the VCGLR by gaming venue management company Progressive Venue Services on behalf of the Langwarrin Hotel stated annual expenditure at the venue would rise by $465,879 if the extra 10 machines get the go ahead. Punters racked up more than $7.6 million in losses at the hotel in the 2014-15 financial year, part of more than $141 million lost to all pokies venues across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula over a 12-month period (“Gamblers lose $79m to peninsula pokies”, The News 17/11/15). An indoor play area to be built at the Langwarrin Hotel will cost $1.5 million to construct, including play equipment, according to Mr Beretta’s submission to the VCGLR. “If approval is not obtained in relation to these additional electronic gaming machines, our financial position will be such that we need to significantly reduce the scope of the proposed playground works so that the overall cost of the same is approximately $450,000,” Mr Beretta said in the written submission. “The resulting play area would not be enclosed so would not be able to be used in inclement weather.” The hotel wants five more pokies machines and transfer the entitlement for five machines from the Riviera Hotel, Seaford, also owned by the Beretta family. The VCGLR will consider the Langwarrin Hotel’s application for the 10 extra machines, taking the total at the venue to 62, at a hearing next month.
IT’S summertime: a time to experience the beach, the sea and the bush on the Mornington Peninsula. And, this summer, Lamppost Gallery, Mt Eliza, offers another way to connect with the Australian landscape. It’s Still Life is an exhibition of sculptures by artist, writer, TV producer and actor Nathan King, whose art explores states of being in the natural world. A leaf becomes a skeleton and a sea anemone becomes a shellcasing … Following these shifts and changes in natural forms, King’s work explores nature, its diversity and transience. Discarded, fallen and forgotten remnants of nature are salvaged and assembled into sculptural forms to accentuate the connections, reflections and relationships of each thing to everything else. The shape, colour, form and movement in one object is found reflected in another, as if they are related and yet they may be a rock, twig, seed pod, or a shell. When assembled together, the interconnectivity in nature becomes clear. “I create these sculptures to elevate nature in our eyes,” King said. “The spirit of being is expressed in such a variety of manifestations that there is a certain sense of wonder for me. I think that we can all too easily forget that sense of awe and wonder as we live in our urbanised, contemporary world. “A lot of art reflects our own clever abilities and skills in rendering the natural world in one medium or another. We risk losing our connection to the spirit and energies of the natural
Elevating nature: Nathan King’s works connect with the landscape.
world in our rush to impress our own capabilities. “These remnants and objects have a history of being – they are not what they once were, their present state is merely a reflection of their original form. Of course, they haven’t stopped ‘being’ – the spirit of their existence has just shape-shifted into another form. “This is a reminder to us about the changing nature of existence. Neither is better than the other – it’s just a different state of existence. These sculptures remind me that that is so.” King was brought up in London and knew nothing of the natural world until he discovered the “wondrous Austral-
ian landscape”. “I have never lost that profound sense of shift and change it brought into my worldview and my life,” he said. “It dramatically shifted my sense of self. I would like to impart something of that understanding to others through my artwork.” It’s Still Life opens 7-9pm, Friday 5 February, at Lamppost Gallery in the foyer of St James the Less Church, corner Nepean Highway and Koetong Pde, Mt Eliza. It runs until 28 February. Gallery hours are noon-4pm Wednesday to Sunday. Details: follow Lamppost Gallery on Facebook or visit mteliza.melbourneanglican.org.au

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
New skin clinic offers hope for acne sufferers LUMPS & Bumps Skin Clinic is Melbourne’s newest skin clinic and has set up in Mornington and boasts an impressive history for treating a wide range of problematic skin conditions. Lumps & Bumps is a family owned and operated skin clinic and director, Sarah England is a pioneer of advanced laser skin treatments, including for acne, dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, sun spots and a many other skin conditions. An example of Sarah’s expertise and pioneering work is found in her treatment of acne. Acne is a serious concern for many teenagers and their parents as this skin disorder can have negative impacts on an individual’s physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Through her research and clinical trials, Sarah has developed specific skills in the use of the Erbium Class IV laser technology that has
PAGE 20
delivered acne patients amazing results. In addition to laser treatment, acne patients are provided a comprehensive after-care program using medical grade skin care products (not available via normal retail outlets). Sarah notes that traditionally acne has been treated with antibiotics, both topical and oral, and while short-term results can be achieved, long-term results are often elusive. According to Sarah, antibiotics can work by reducing inflammation and destroying bacteria in the skin, however, the antibiotics used do not specifically target the acne bacteria. “Sometimes acne sufferers are prescribed the drug Roaccutane,” said Sarah. “However, there is well documented evidence of the potential side effects of Roaccutane which include persistent migraines, muscle pain, liver damage and birth defects. Further, it can make life difficult by

causing patients to develop dry, itchy eyes that have to be constantly treated with lubricating eye drops.” Sarah’s revolutionary treatment of acne includes photodynamic therapy to destroy the acne bacteria and also shrink the sebaceous gland which in turn reduces the production of sebum. (Sebum is an oily or waxy substance that is secreted by the microscopic sebaceous glands in the skin). “Using this unique approach, acne treatments can be provided all year round, even in summer, as the medical grade lasers do not cause damage to the surrounding tissue and therefore the skin is not sensitive to light,” said Sarah. The medical grade after-care skin care products used to assist in the treatment of acne following laser treatment are not available in normal retail outlets.
“Cosmetics that are sold ‘over-thecounter’ do not penetrate the skin and only remain on the surface,” said Sarah. “Some of the retail products may contain harmful ingredients such as bleaches, and although they may destroy bacteria during early application, longer term they may cause the skin to become very dry and irritated - which potentially might lead to further development of acne pustules and a worsening of the acne skin condition.” Lumps & Bumps specialises in treating “difficult” skin disorders including dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, benign moles and a host of other skin conditions. In addition to its clinical and cosmetic services, Lumps & Bumps is also a strong supporter of community education and conducts school seminars and workshops designed to educate children and parents on healthy
skin care and treatment options for a broad range of skin conditions. “At Lumps & Bumps we want to actively educate the community so that they can make the right decisions for themselves and their children. One of the programs we run involves free education seminars for parents and their school-age children. At these seminars parents and children can freely discuss their concerns and ask relevant questions,” said Sarah. Lumps & Bumps is also planning a series of free workshops to be held at their clinic where community members may attend to discuss a variety of skin-related topics.

Family business carries on IT’S been 36 years since Alan started his Hastings business, Alan and Joanne’s Hairdressing, and it’s still going strong, with daughter Joanne taking over the helm. A couple of years ago 69 year old Alan decided to hang up his scissors and retire but still pops his head in to see how everything’s going. “Dad started the business back in 1979 on High Street, and we have just moved around the corner to Victoria Street. Dad would have cut generations upon generations of hair. In fact I still have dad’s first customers coming in, with one gentleman from Pearcedale who has been coming here since 1980,” said Joanne. Alan is a barber and Joanne a hairdresser and the business concentrate solely on ladies and men’s haircuts. “I started hairdressing with dad when I was 20 and it has always been a family business,” said Joanne, who has raised all of her kids at the shop. “Our family love the community atmosphere here as well and have people who have moved away from the area who still come back for haircuts.” A true testament to the good old Aussie community spirit, and Alan’s own respect in the town was when Alan was bashed a few years

Shop 5/30 Victoria St, Hastings (Next to Western Port Mobility) ago and the community rallied around him. “Dad was trying to help a 15 year old girl who was being hassled in the main street of town, and a young guy king hit him. He ended up in hospital with head injuries and elbow injuries and had to be operated on. This was two weeks before Christmas and all the businesses and townspeople rallied around to help him,” said Joanne. Although Alan has retired, Joanne is determined to carry on the family spirit of the salon, with only the location changing. Alan and Joannes Hairdressing is at Shop 5/30 High Street, Hastings.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Public farewells discontinue soon Compiled by Melissa Walsh MRS J Millard has received a cable this week from her grandson, Sergeant Alex Kerr, to the effect that he was leaving for Australia after having been wounded in the head at Gallipoli. *** A number of wounded soldiers were entertained by “The Wattles” Club at the Park, Frankston, on last Sunday afternoon, when a most enjoyable time was spent. *** THE Dramatic entertainment advertised to take place at Somerville this evening, in aid of the Red Cross, has been postponed on account of the recruiting meeting being held the same evening. *** AT the special meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers, held on Monday evening, it was decided to hold the annual show as usual, on 15th March next, 20 per cent of the profits to be devoted to local patriotic funds. *** SIR John Madden will deliver an address in the Somerville Hall this evening, on behalf of the recruiting movement now being carried on throughout this Commonwealth. Lieutenant Fisher and others will also address the meeting *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute will be held on Thursday evening next, and the Somerville Mechanics will hold
theirs on the following evening. *** MESSRS T R B Morton and Son will hold a sale of 80 town lots on the ground, Railway Station Estate, Bittern, on Monday, 31st January. For particulars see advt. *** FOLLOWING up his vigorous policy to develop the military reserve at Langwarrin, Major Robson, Staff Officer Engineers, entered into consultation with Mr Hermann, the well known geologist of the Victorian Mines Department. The result has been that from four bores water has been struck in three cases. The test gave in one case 59 gallons per hour and in the other 350 gallons per hour, or a total of over 10,000 gallons daily. The boring has been engineered and expeditiously carried out by Mr W. Anderson, a practical and experienced drill foreman. *** CAPTAIN Coyle, who left Langwarrin Camp last week for duty at head quarters, is one of the best known members of the A. and I. Staff. As Camp Commandant at Langwarrin he reorganised the office staff, and by the erection of separate kitchens completely altered the system of cooking, by which means the troops are now better fed and quicker served. He provided more cold water shower baths and arranged for sea bathing three times a week. He rendered every aid for the Christmas treat and biography shows for the patients. He earned the gratitude of property
owners in the Frankston shire by the excellent system of military police, and used every effort to protect orchardists from raiding. At the last meeting of the Langwarrin Progressive Association a vote of thanks was passed for his services. Risen from the ranks, he has learnt by experience and intuition that laws must not be rigid, but, like a rubber band, should contract or expand. The essence of a soldier, his very presence inspired confidence. He raised the prestige of the military; and was rapidly gaining popularity. He comes of a type that fought our battles against Napoleon, and one whom Charles Lever would have delighted to honor. *** AT a meeting of the Langwarrin Progressive Association, held on Monday evening, Mr J. N. Marsh was unanimously elected a member. Three more nominations were received at the meeting, and altogether the association promises to soon become as strong and prosperous as in its earlier history. *** ALTHOUGH the weather continues to dry, the fruit crops promise to be of good quality and size. Prices for apricots and plums have been good, but with early apples very low prices have ruled. This was caused by the large importation of American apples. As this has now ceased more payable prices can be confidently looked for. Poultry keepers, owing to the reduction in feed prices, are gaining more
profitable returns, and flocks have increased to former sizes. *** YOUNG men are still enlisting from this district, and so far they have received a very nice farewell and presentation at the local hall. On Saturday evening, January 22, Norman and Peter Taylor have a send off, and at a later date, yet to be fixed, several more will be guests at a farewell concert. As it is intended soon to discontinue these public farewells, all the eligibles should hurry up, and not lose such a chance of being publicly honored through their bashfulness or timidity. *** DURING the school holidays the committee have had the shelter shed asphalted, and also have other improvements under way. We note the Cranbourne Shire has been allotted £50 from the Government for the purpose of making much needed improvements to the west boundary road, near the railway station and military camp. The traffic on this road has been very heavy for some time, and the prospect of its being made passable has given much satisfaction to the residents. *** THERE was a large attendance at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, on Wednesday evening, in response to the appeal of the sub-committee of the North Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, with the object of stimulating the enrolment of volunteers to go to the front in de-
fence of the Empire and to induce recipients of the war census appeals to reply in the affirmative. Cr Griffeth, President of the Shire, occupied the chair, and proceedings were commenced by singing “God Save the King”, Mrs M’Cormack playing the accompaniment. Apologies for inability to attend were read from Sir William Irvine, Major Blizzard, and Commander Brewis, R.N. The chairman explained the formation of the recruiting movement, and said it was their united determination to stand by the old flag, and the council is putting forth every effort to fall in line with the movement. He hoped that those who had fallen at Gallipoli, would act as a stimulus to others to enlist, and help to bring this great war to a termination, and that the Shire of Frankston and Hastings would bring forward their required quota. He then introduced Sir John Madden, and asked him to move the first resolution which was the same as that recently passed at the Town Hall, Melbourne. Sir John Madden, on rising was received with hearty cheers. He said that every Australian worthy of the name—and what an immensely lofty, undying name it must be henceforth!—that no man who thinks his services may be of use will hesitate to come forward and place himself and his services at the disposal of his country. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 January, 1916

WHAT’S NEW...
On the Beach – A Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition WHEN bans on daylight bathing were lifted in 1902, the beach became a prime leisure destination. The beach became not only a public space of recreation but also a place where the Australian identity was developing, for many epitomizing the liberties of Australia’s society. On the beach brings together 76 outstanding and iconic paintings, photographs and installations to consider the defining relationship we have to the shore. The exhibition features works by Vernon Ah Kee, Arthur Boyd, Gordon Bennett, Daniel Boyd, Max Dupain, Charles Meere, Tracey Moffatt, David Moore, Sidney Nolan, Polixeni Papapetrou, John Perceval, Scott Redford, Jeffrey Smart, Albert Tucker, Guan Wei and Anne Zahalka, as well as outstanding recently discovered works by George Caddy. A champion jitterbug dancer, Caddy’s photographs of ‘beachobatics’ were kept undisturbed in a shoebox for 60 years until they were ‘discovered’ by his son after his death. They capture the exuberance and optimism of Australian society between the wars. The beach first became a prime leisure destination in the early decades of the twentieth century. Up to Federation many artists had looked to the bush to galvanise a fledging nationalism, but during the interwar years this shifted and increasingly the beach became the site of Australian identity. Already by 1908 one Melbourne newspaper commented upon the ‘vast throng of holidaymakers all along the coast.’ In the years following the First World War, against a backdrop of a growing interest in physical fitness, the beach was seen as a place for creating ‘a fine healthy race of men.’ Understandings of the beach as an Australian way of life emerged during this period and increasingly the Australian type was associated with bronzed athletic bodies on the beach. On the beach looks at artists’ responses to the stereotype of the interwar period and juxtaposes modernist works with contemporary artists’ responses to include a more culturally diverse mix of people.

Music Arts Food
SETH SENTRY By Billy Dixon
When you career begins in the furthest corners of a sleepy seaside village, nearly two hours from the centre of Melbourne, you’re going to have to put in some serious legwork if the rest of the world’s going to recognise you. Seth Morton lived on the Mornington Peninsula for nearly 20 years before a career in music beckoned him elsewhere. A small market that seemed to cater exclusively to cover bands and a general lack of industry saw the Peninsula of the mid-2000s unable to cater for an emerging artist of his calibre. Seth dropped his last name, adopted the Sentry moniker and left for the big city, where dreams could be realised. Even if he’d failed in his quest, at least there are some great record stores up in town. “I moved to Melbourne when I was 19… a long time ago. There was no music scene here. There were no live music venues and nobody was into rap music… except for me and one other guy at high school.” Though Sorrento, Seth’s home town, punches well above its weight in the retail sector, the offers were limited. “It was whatever music I could find at the cinema / video shop / CD shop in the village, which is where I got all my music. Luckily, I found Wu Tang albums and Gravedigger CDs, a whole bunch of old school, late-‘90s rap music. If people told me about something I’d have to go and order it in – you couldn’t exactly jump on Spotify!” The move has been kind to Seth. While he no doubt misses the reverie of old friends at the Frankston skate park, his life changed when he met Perry Chapman, A.K.A. Pez. “I met Pez through a girl that I knew… she said I should meet up with Pez and Matik, so I did. Then I met 360 through Pez, we started doing gigs
and writing songs together and Pez ended up producing my whole EP, and a bunch of songs off the next album as well. When you’ve all got similar interests and passions, it’s easy to make friends.” Thankfully, geography is no longer the creativity-choking force it once was. Yeah, the internet’s been around for a generation now, but what this generation’s done with it in the last decade has permanently changed the world. You can submerge yourself in the greasiest, darkest depths of an industry from the comfort of an arm chair, all the while behind a protective layer of bulletproof glass. Says Seth of the way things have changed, “I felt like I had to make a move to a different area because I physically couldn’t do what I needed to do on a daily basis, or interact with the people I needed to in order to be immersed in the music scene. It’s different now because where you’re at doesn’t matter so much… it’s almost at the point where you don’t need to release a physical CD anymore.” That’s not to suggest that pursuing Seth’s path would be easy now. In a world where everybody has become a publisher, the next competition for your listener’s earballs is already in post-production. The technology might be more readily available, but that doesn’t mean ability is. “I started writing music when I was 15, so yeah, it took a long time. But it never felt like it because I was so immersed in it, enjoying what I was doing, approaching every open mic night I could. It never felt like a long time coming because I had my head down in it, and I actually loved the process.” His best advice for the budding rapper or hip-hop artist is “the more you write, the better you get, and the more you
immerse yourself in it, the more people you’re going to draw toward you. “Or you could be like Adele, and sell 3.8 million copies in your first week!” Yes, or that. But for the rest of us, what matters is that you’re passionate about creation. Without that drive, with only a destination in mind, promising young artists lose their way, succumbing to old marketing tricks to get eyeballs and likes on pages. “They essentially become ‘meme’ pages. They don’t post any music, they’re not personable, it’s just about posting funny shit.” Which, ironically, can really subtract from the impression one might wish to cultivate. Perhaps even more ironically, Seth himself was once “that annoying dude who was spamming everyone my music, trying to get everyone to listen, once I’d made the decision to really go for it.” Even so, it was always about the music. Which brings us to our third and final irony in this literary trifecta – Seth isn’t entirely about music 100% of the time. While an artist having hobbies and interests outside their field isn’t exactly news (or, for that matter, ironic), it can make them human, connecting an artist to their community roots. For Seth, that’s gaming and skating. Konami’s latest entry, Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain (starring Kiefer Sutherland) was passing the time until his game bugged out and he lost his progress. Enter, Star Wars Battlefront…unfortunately, that’s about all the info you’ll get from Wikipedia – he’s even managed to keep his date of birth hidden, apparently unintentionally. But even Seth Sentry needs to leave the house for inspiration. No longer able to “skate the park” in Frankston, he’s sought adrenaline through 10,000-strong crowds at festivals like
Falls. “I still skate, but everything hurts now! Apart from the fact I just broke my foot recently, when I fall off a skateboard these days everything is in pain.” A good enough reason to stick to the festival crowds, although he notes the different ambience in such an arena compared to a one-night headline act. “The intimate stuff is cool, but with 10,000 kids going mental, it’s hard to pass the festivals. It’s a little more detached, you’re there to perform and the crowd’s so far away from you that you can’t see any individual person’s face, they just become one big, hard-to-see entity. And that’s great – you turn it on, people go wild and you get a nice adrenaline rush and I love that, but I also love the intimate side of things. Gigs where you can actually talk to people, have the audience yell shit out, and feed off it.” As for the rest of the year? Seth Sentry’s returning to Melbourne’s south east at the end of the month to rock the Chelsea Heights Hotel, and that’s actually close enough to the Mornington Peninsula that there might even be a few familiar faces in the crowd. He’s got a couple more tours to knock over for this album, at which point he’ll whisk himself away to somewhere comfortable yet inspiring, somewhere he can do some serious writing. There’s “a bunch of surprises coming out this year, little features and stuff that I can’t get too specific about.” We love surprises, especially when coupled with vague descriptions of activity, because that usually means something big is looming. Stay tuned! Seth Sentry is playing at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Monday, 25th January, 2016. Tickets available at the venue or from oztix.com.au. Western Port News 19 January 2016

Doggies have one last crack PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MORNINGTON is going all out in one last ditch effort to make the MPCA Provincial finals. Sitting in 10th place heading into their Round eight match against Rye, the Dogs found themselves 20 points behind second placed Long Island. There was no other result Mornington could afford than an outright win and the 20 points that came with it. After the completion of day one, the Dogs are on track to achieve their objective. Mornington won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Demons at RJ Rowley Reserve. The home side lasted 37.4 overs for a net return of 65 runs. Michael Heib was the destroyer
with six wickets while Matt Dunn top scored with 22 for Rye. The Dogs then batted for 22 overs. It was enough time for Matt Foon to belt an unbeaten 100 while Brad McDonald hit 31 at the other end. The Dogs finished their innings at 0/132 before sending Rye back in for the final 20 overs of the day. Mornington needs seven wickets and the Demons need a further 17 runs to make Mornington bat again. Rye will resume on day two at 3/51 with skipper Tommy Baron still at the crease, unbeaten on 31. Heib has another two second innings’ wickets to give him eight for the match at this stage. Crib Point has knocked Baxter out of the top four. Playing on their home deck, the Pies sent Baxter into bat first and proceeded to roll them for just 88 in
30.1 overs. Jacob Cook was outstanding with the new ball for the home side, snaring 6/43 while Glenn Barclay claimed 3/37. Ben Brittain was again the only Baxter batsman to offer any real resistance, top scoring with 24. In reply, the Magpies were 4/44 at one stage before Ricky Thompson (39 not out) and Neil Clark (30) came out to bat. Rob Hearn also made 35 at the top of the order. The Pies will resume at 7/169, 81 runs ahead of the visitors. Ben Smith was the pick of the Baxter bowlers with 3/31. Long Island has set fourth-placed Somerville 172 for victory. The Islanders were bowled out with two overs remaining for the day. Somerville will resume at 0/4.
Moorooduc has left Sorrento with some work to do in their match at Moorooduc Reserve. Winning the toss and batting first, the sixth-placed Ducs made 216 in 75.1 overs. At one stage Moorooduc was in real trouble at 6/77. However, Nick Williams hit an unbeaten 95 and Adam Bayley hit 28 and together put up almost 100 for the seventh wicket. Bobby Wilson claimed three wickets for the Sorras while Ryan O’Connor, who left Ballam Park mid-season, claimed a couple of wickets. In reply, Sorrento is 0/4. Pines and Langwarrin are in battle in a “last roll of the dice” affair. The loser of this match can kiss their finals chances goodbye. After day one, Pines are the
unbackable favorites after Rhys Chalkley (104) and Nick Wilcox (81) put on 153 for the opening stand. Former Roo Brent Magill then made a quick fire 29 at the end of the innings to help the Piners to 298. Nathan Volpe was the best of the Langwarrin bowlers with 6/48 from 8.5 overs. Top of the table Peninsula Old Boys has set Mt Eliza 234 for victory after making 233 in 79 overs. Eivion Bowen top scored for the Old Boys with 63 runs while Glen Prendergast hit 53 at the top of the order. The batting order was very different for this clash with Brandon Lawler and Dylan O’Malley batting down the list and Wil Crowder and Bowen batting higher. Justin Grant was the best of the Mounties’ bowlers with 4/90 from 28 overs.
Scramble is on for top places DISTRICT By IT Gully WITH finals well and truly on the line in MPCA District cricket, every game is important for every team as we head for the finish line for the season. Whilst Baden Powell and Red Hill are safe at the top of the table, the scramble for the final two places has been left between five clubs. Heatherhill is one of those clubs fighting for a spot in the four and after day one against bottom of the table Boneo, they are on target to collect maximum points (20) for an outright win. Knowing full well that an outright opportunity beckoned, the Hills with Neil Martin at the helm, played their cards very strategically in a bid to get the desired result. They won the toss and batted first, with Kristian Miller hitting a team-high score of 45. However, after just 21 overs, the Hills declared their innings and sent Boneo into bat. The Pandas batted for 58.4 overs for a return of 111 runs. Jake Theobald was the best of the bowlers with 4/22, giving him 25 wickets across the various formats for the season. Ben Davies, who made his debut last
week, backed up his strong first efforts with 3/22 from 16 overs. Baden Powell was restricted to one of its lowest scores of the season against thirdplaced Pearcedale. While Travis Kellerman continued his purple patch with the bat making 77 at the top of the innings, the rest of the top order, for a change, failed to fire a shot. Chris Dew was simply outstanding for the Panthers with 7/42 from 26 overs, including nine maidens. He removed the top four batsmen, including the in-form Tom Wood and Rhys Elmi. The Panthers batted the final three overs for the day without loss. A Pearcedale win would be massive for the competition and really open up the premiership race. Delacombe Park’s season still has a flicker of hope and they are in a sensational position against Seaford Tigers. The Tigers won the toss and sent Delacombe into bat. The visitors made 175 in 50.5 overs with Rowan Charles top scoring with 46 and Shane Deal getting 39. Jordan Watters was the best of the Tigers’ bowlers with three wickets. In reply, the Tigers are in a world of pain at 5/72. Deal, who remains the most

underrated cricketer in the MPCA, has 2/17. Flinders is currently in fourth place on the ladder but that won’t be the case at 6.10pm this Saturday night after day one of the match against Red Hill. The Sharks need to chase down 304 to beat the Hillmen. That simply won’t happen. On Saturday, Simon Dart helped himself to another century for Red Hill, the skipper scoring 108. Rheede Hopgood scored 57 and Andrew Mock chimed in with 35 at the end when the score was already settled. Shane Beggs bowled 14 overs for the Sharks and picked-up 3/54. With the likes of Lincoln Toy and Glenn Collett headlining the Red Hill attack, 304 is well out of Flinders’ reach. Mt Martha and Main Ridge are out of the race for finals but remain engaged in a duel at Ferrero Reserve. The Reds sent Main Ridge into bat first and the visitors made 165 in 74 overs. Gareth Wyatt top scored with 34. Curtis Stone was the pick of the Mt Martha bowlers with 3/24 from 16 overs. Kyle Bendle and Jake Smart each collected two wickets. In reply, Mt Martha faced the final six overs of the day and lost Alex Mason along the way. They’ll resume at 1/9.

Leaping Frogs back in control SUB-DISTRICT
Saved by the rope: A somerville fieldsman saves yet another boundary by Long Island batsmen. Picture: Andrew Hurst
By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK and Ballam Park are playing for their seasons in MPCA Sub-District cricket in Round eight. Both sides are just half a game outside of the top four. A loss in this match could end their seasons. The Knights have gone through some tough times of late, with Ryan O’Connor pulling the pin and heading home to Sorrento mid-season. However, some of the “old stagers” have again rallied around the club and are hoping to get them into the finals. After day one of the clash against the Frogs at Truemans Road Reserve, it appears the Knights are up against it. Tootgarook bowled Ballam Park out for 152 in 61 overs. Jarryd Ward top scoring for the Knights with 29 and Zac Clements scored 28. Scott Sterling and Matt Whelan each claimed three wickets for the Frogs. In reply, Whelan has gone to town and scored an unbeaten 54 in 19 overs. Toogarook will resume at 1/75. The evergreen Jason Mathers wound back the clock a decade or two on Saturday, scoring 120 for Rosebud as they amassed 310 against Tyabb. With Billy Quigley (61) getting the team away to a flier at the top of the innings, Mathers strode to the crease at number five with his side in some bother at 3/43. Mathers then put on 153 with Quigley while Jason Nagel
came in at the end and smashed 65. Frankston YCW’s season is well and truly still alive after the opening day of its match against Hastings. The Blues won the toss and batted first and set a score of 173. Jake Hewitt was the star with the bat for the Blues with 95, while Isuru Dias hit 27 at the end of the innings. At one stage, Hastings was 6/75. Lai Leaunoa opened the bowling for the Stonecats and took 4/25 from 17 overs, while teenager Sam Fulton claimed 3/41 from 14 overs with the new pill. In reply, the Stonecats are in command at 2/85 with Leaunoa (29) and Jason Bedford (21) still at the crease. Carrum Downs, currently in fourth place on the ladder, took another jolt in the arm for finals action after Mark Snelling belted 123 against Skye. The Cougars made 7/294 in 75 overs before sending Skye in for the final five overs of the day. Skye lost 2/2. Earlier, Scott Rodda picked-up 5/83 for Skye. Top-of-the-table Dromana still has its work cut out to beat Balnarring. The Hoppers batted first and made 192 in 65 overs, Jack Fowler top scoring with 51 and Jeff Bluhm scoring 48. Mitch Kleinig was superb for the Saints with 4/54 from 13 overs while Justin Brown claimed 3/41. Brenton Taylor will resume on 29 for the Saints as they resume at 1/42.

Australia Day 2016 road closures Mornington Peninsula is hosting many events over the Australia Day period ranging from flag raising ceremonies, children’s activities, parade, fun run and fireworks. In order to safely deliver the peninsula’s Australia Day program of events, the Shire’s operational plan involves closing roads and carparks with some impacts on local surroundings.
Keepings your pet safe during fireworks AUSTRALIA Day, Tuesday 26 January, will be celebrated across the Mornington Peninsula with various activities, including fantastic fireworks displays at Rye and Mornington. While most of us will enjoy the festivities, it can be a frightening time for pets. Many animals are sensitive to the noise of fireworks and can become so distressed that they attempt to escape, resulting in lost and injured pets. This year’s fireworks displays will show from 9-9:30pm on the Rye Foreshore and at Schnapper Point, Mornington. Leaving pets in the backyard is not enough to protect them from the effects of fireworks. Animals have been known to

jump fences or dig holes in a panicked attempt to escape the noise. The Shire Ranger Team is always willing to discuss the issues of preparedness for a firework event, as well as other aspects of responsible pet ownership. RSPCA Victoria also has some helpful advice on how to keep your pet safe during fireworks and other festivities: • Prepare early • Seek advice from your local Vet. In severe cases of fright and phobias, mild sedative medication can be administered to your pet prior to the event. • Keep your pet inside for the duration of the fireworks. • Make sure your pet is exercised and fed before the
Western Port News 19 January 2016
fireworks begin. • Close all windows and doors to minimise noise and stop them escaping. • Ensure your pet is wearing appropriate identification and registration tags at all times. Make sure your pet is micro-chipped so they can be returned quickly if they manage to escape. • Ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable with adequate bedding, blankets, toys and plenty of water. If you have found an animal, or your pet has gone missing, contact the Shire on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000.

Indigenous Hip Hop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More than just a dance By Melissa Walsh GET ready to be amazed when Indigenous Hip Hop (IHHP) arrives on the peninsula to energise crowds on Australia Day. The interactive hip hop works on the principle of using the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;arts for changeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, focusing on Indigenous young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths, developing their skills and attitudes and working closely with partners to support community development. The group started about 10 years ago with two young guys, Michael Farah and Dion Brownfield, who wanted to use dance as a medium for change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around about 2006, Dion and I met at a festival in a remote community in WA, and worked out that we had a great opportunity to use youth dance as a medium for change, taking it to remote communities and local festivals all over the country,â&#x20AC;? said dancer and choreographer, Michael of the multicultural group with indigenous and non-indigenous people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically it snowballed to going from five artists and now we have about 40 artists, dancers, music producers, film makers, artists, rappers, singers and we are still doing the work we do which is going to communities, and festivals.â&#x20AC;? IHHP uses dance as a tool of engagement to have a lot of fun and create awareness around health and the longest living culture around the world which is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not too heavy, it is a celebration, and we focus on the good things that are working for people as well as the reality of drinking, smoking and bullying for example.â&#x20AC;? IHHP believes that in order to work towards â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Closing the Gapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and address disadvantage faced by Indigenous young people, programs need to support the development of physical, social and emotional wellbeing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hip hop gives young Indigenous people and their communities a voice to not only let their issues be heard but empowers them to find their own solutions. Through its projects, IHHP fuse Indigenous culture and the sub-youth culture of hip hop to engage with and develop skills and confidence amongst Indigenous young people, celebrating Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural diversity,â&#x20AC;? said Michael. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The artists use the power of hip hop, modern dance, music, art and media to engage and develop young people and influence positive change in their lives.â&#x20AC;?

Father Bob comes to Hastings By Melissa Walsh THE irrepressible Father Bob Maguire will be visiting our humble shores of Hastings this Australia Day as the Australia Day Ambassador. The bright and witty 81 year old might be “walking with a stick” as he says but the brain still goes at full speed. As one of the finalists for Senior Victorian Australian of the Year 2016 and of course an OAM recipient many years ago, Father Bob’s charismatic character shines through, inspiring the toughest of us. “I’m looking forward to coming to Hastings on Australia Day and I think Hastings has the advantage of not just being a home but a neighbourhood for people. With its Westernport Bay and identifiable landmarks it is a place that the Indigenous people would say has its own identity which is very important,” said Father Bob. Still heavily involved in raising money and awareness for community issues with the Father Bob Maguire Foundation, Father Bob says we have an obligation to our young people. “The older generations say we don’t know what’s happened to our young people but it’s because they are disappointed in their lives. We are now seeing a generation who don’t believe they
will have a better life than their parents. So the Aussies now need to be creative with their social philosophies and innovative to create better futures for our children,” said Father Bob. Father Bob says that society needs to be in touch with innovation and evolving all the time and that includes the Catholic Church. “We all need to be more in touch with what’s going on and the good thing is we have a great bloke at the top of the rung now so we will see good changes in the future.” For Father Bob being “out there” has been a process of necessity, with his philosophy that we must be involved in the community and help people who are in need. “I was actually caught between cultures with the 1960s to 80s. In the early days being out there was applauded and in the 80s it was frowned upon, where I was kind of told to get back in your box,” says the Parish Priest of some 40 years. As far as the Westernport area goes, Father Bob says it is important we try to keep the kids in school. “It is so important our kids stay in school and get a good education and we must do everything to encourage that. We need to be creative and innovative in our thinking,” he said.
