Fun link to schools CHILDREN and their families were last week connected with early years’ services in Hastings at the annual Linking Schools and Early Years “Let’s Get Together” event at St Mary's Primary School.

Face painting, sensory and fine motor activities, a petting zoo and a jumping castle were enjoyed by the children while parents found out about the availability of early years’ services.

Community support from Rotary, sporting clubs, emergency services, early intervention and community health groups added to the fun.

TENSIONS between activist group GetUp and Environment Minister Greg Hunt rose another notch last week over filming of a demonstration outside his Hastings office.

Freelance cameraman Brett Tyley says a “dressing down” from Mr Hunt “was intimidating, rude and unprofessional for a man that holds that office”.

Tyley says Mr Hunt, the Liberal MP for Flinders, objected to being filmed addressing a crowd of protesters even though it was Mr Hunt “that walked into the front of the crowd who I was there to film as part of my job”.

“I was shocked at this as it is very unusual to be addressed as a cameraman. I was filming in a public space of which he had walked into and, thirdly, I have previously filmed Mr Hunt in identical circumstances where it was actually welcomed.”

Tyley’s account of the confrontation during GetUp’s demonstration to protect the Great Barrier Reef was posted on social media.

Mr Hunt, when asked to comment on Mr Tyley’s claims, said he understood the “passion of the local community” to protect the Great Barrier Reef.

“On Thursday, a meeting was organised with a small group of GetUp representatives and local residents at my office to discuss their concerns about

the reef and climate change,” he said.

“I was not notified that there would also be a large crowd outside the office, however I took the opportunity to speak with them. I then invited them all inside the office and about 30 people took up this invitation to chat with me and I spent more than an hour with them.” (See “Reef protection”, Letters Page 14) Tyley, who has worked for television networks Ten, Nine and the ABC, says Mr Hunt’s reaction to being filmed was something “I have never encountered before on any level from anyone else”.

After being told by Mr Hunt to stop filming, Tyley says he “politely asked” for permission, although he knew he did not need to do so as the demonstration was being conducted in a public place.

“He [Mr Hunt] replied ‘yes, it is a courtesy’. I then politely replied ‘I’m sorry. May I continue to film for which he turned his head and stated ‘No’.

“I stopped filming because I didn’t want a confrontation. However, one of his staff came up and stood right in front me to block my view, I guess just in case.

“In my time I have met quite a few politicians from both sides - my father at one stage even spoke to John Howard regarding policy over a breakfast and most of the time behind the scenes they are quite nice.

Coping with the challenges of caring EVERY carer has a story. Those caring for a loved one with a mental illness – and coping with the changes to their own lives – can be unsure how, or where, to get help.

Peninsula Health’s carer consultant Judy Anderson knows well the challenges, as she has 15 years’ experience caring for a family member with a debilitating mental health condition.

She often finds herself saying to other carers: “I know what you are going through,” she told The News.

“It also helps the carer to know that they are not alone in their journey and that someone else really does understand.”

Ms Anderson is sharing her story to help other carers as part of Carer’s Week, 11-18 October. Her insight and advice has helped many carers connect with support services and local community groups.

“There are support services for every situation,” she said. “Organisations like Tandem for families and carers who care for people with a mental illness and Carers Victoria provide excellent resources.

“Local support groups for carers provide connectedness, information and workshops to help with the emotional effects.”

In many cases, family and friends notice the behavioural differences and warning signs of mental illness before it is apparent to the person themselves.

“They try so hard to prove they are ok, and we are left to pick up the pieces,” Ms Anderson said.

“My life changed 15 years ago. I suspected something was wrong, but the process of finding help for Tim

Assault charges TWO police officers and a teenager have been charged with assaultrelated offences after an incident at Somers in March.

A male first constable and female senior constable, both from the Southern Metropolitan Region, were charged on summons with intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury and two counts of unlawful assault.

They will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 19 November.

A 17-year-old youth will also face the same charges.

The police officers have been transferred to other duties.

Youth robbed A YOUTH, 16, smashed a bottle and threatened another youth before demanding his mobile phone at a Hastings party, Saturday night. Detective Senior Sergeant Miru Majstorovic, of the Somerville police complex, said the victim, 16, handed over the phone and called police next day. The youths were known to each other and attending the party in Melaleuca Drive.

Mower, tools stolen Not alone: Peninsula Health’s carer consultant Judy Anderson.

[not his real name] was difficult as he was living interstate.”

He has since moved back to the Mornington Peninsula, where he grew up, and moved in with Ms Anderson, he can be supported full time.

“It was a long and emotional process,” she said. “That’s why it is important to have a lot of support when you first become a carer.

“You’ve just discovered your life will never be the same; you’re also trying to find out as much as you can

about the illness and it’s common to be grieving for the loved one who has changed.”

Grief is a common emotion among carers as they come to terms with the illness and the unexpected situation in which they find themselves.

“In our case it was devastating,” she said. “He had a promising and exciting career and future, however, his life has now taken a very different direction.

“Like many carers I am concerned

about what the future holds for our loved family member, but speaking up and reaching out will ensure that carers like me are heard, and that our concerns matter.”

For more information on caring for someone with a mental illness, call Ms Anderson on 9238 8634.

Rosebud Carers Group meets on the first Thursday of each month, and Peninsula Carers Frankston meets on the third Monday evening of each month.

Whales set a record as rig parks in bay WHALE watchers, tourism operators and environmentalists are marvelling the record number of whale sightings this year in Western Port.

Sightings of more than 110 humpbacks, one southern right and four orcas in the region have encouraged whale watching cruises to extend their schedules.

The apparent increasing numbers of whale is also providing ammunition for those opposed to an international container port being built at Hastings.

While off the state government’s agenda at the moment, the port expansion could be added to the state’s major infrasturcture list if Western Port is designated as the most appropriate site by Infrastructure Victoria.

Conservationists are also pointing to the recent

Phillip Island Nature Parks quarterly bird count that revealed record numbers of sightings and significant sightings of double banded plovers, red necked stints, Caspian terns, godwits, and red-capped plovers at Observation Point, just off the island’s coast.

Meanwhile, the oil industry and the Port of Hastings are taking advantage of the protected coastline to park an oil exploration rig, the West Telesto, near Observation Point.

The oil rig is owned and operated by Origin Energy and, when fully operational, costs around $500,000 a day to operate. Hastings Port operator Patrick has notdisclosed the port fees.

“Western Port supports international and domestic tourism, eco-tourism, marine life, bird populations and the oil industry, and Patrick just wants to park

unwanted oil exploration rigs in the same place,” Preserve Western Port Action Group chairman Jeff Nottle said.

He is calling on the state government to initiate “holistic master planning” for Western Port. “Currently, Western Port has multiple land managers, authorities and community organisations as well as the oil industry and port operators all seeking to achieve different visions for this RAMSAR protected waterway,” he said.

“The oil industry and the environment are colliding and Western Port needs protection and master planning to secure and preserve this natural asset and the vast tourist economy it supports from the oil industry and further industrialisation.”

Angels on high: Climate Guardians clamered to the roof over MP Greg Hunt’s Hastings office on Friday afternoon as part of the ongoing activism against the federal government’s positive policies towards coal mining.

Picture: Jarryd Bravo

GetUp’s recording of rally angers MP Continued from Page 1 “But, regardless of where you stand on the political sphere, I felt in this instance Mr Hunt’s dressing down of myself was intimidating, rude and unprofessional for a man that holds that office, considering the fact it was himself that walked into the front of the crowd who I was there to film as part of my job.�

GetUp members rallied outside Mr Hunt’s office three times in September.

At one rally, GetUp protesters carrying a bag of coal into Mr Hunt’s office

were met by a comment from executive officer Denise Garnock, “so you’re going to pollute our office with coal?� and the accusation from Mr Hunt that they had intimidated his staff.

Mornington Peninsula GetUp member Simon Hawking, one of two people who carried the coal int the office, denied there had been intimidation and described how three police officers “happily chatting to the crowd� would have been called in to the office if it had occurred.

GetUp describes itself as “one of

Australia’s largest campaigning communities, with a membership of over 800,000 people. We’re an independent, grassroots, community advocacy organisation that seeks to build a more progressive Australia and hold politicians to account�.

GetUp is now calling for contributions for it to continue its legal battle to stop development of Indian-owned Adani’s Carmichael coal mine in central Queensland, which will export its output through terminals at Abbot Point, within the Great Barrier Reef.

Mr Hunt last week gave the go ahead for the mine subject to “the strictest conditions in Australian history�. “This coal mine is the dumbest, most dangerous and uneconomic development in Australia,� GetUp’s Sam Regester said. “Mining and burning this coal will cook the Great Barrier Reef. The mining and burning of coal causes reef waters to warm and become more acidic.

This mine’s coal will be a massive contributor to dangerous global warming and push us over the two degree limit.

“Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull needs to step in and save our reef from this damaging project we know will cause terrible damage and runaway global warming. “Australian and international banks have all rejected this mine because it is a bad investment and bad for their reputation. “Adani has lied about how many jobs it has created, ruined the environment and ridden roughshod over human rights where it has previously operated in India.�

Plan of action to cut contamination BACTERIA and contaminants are flowing into ground and surface waters from more than 30,000 unsewered properties across the Mornington Peninsula.

The problem is compounded by inadequately maintained septic tank systems.

The shire is undertaking a septic monitoring program in unsewered areas, including Arthurs Seat, Red Hill and Point Leo, and looking at options to provide sewerage.

The program includes electronic monitoring and barcoding of septic tank systems in high-risk areas as well as providing advice to septic system owners through the Smart Septics program.

The shire’s new Domestic Wastewater Management Plan aims to prevent contamination from septic tanks along with connecting properties on the southern peninsula through South East Water’s ECO system and backlog sewerage programs.

The updated plan includes a “report card” that found that the management strategies in the

shire’s 2007-14 Plan had all “been fully or substantially completed”.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the environmental and health benefits of sewerage connection were evident in improved water quality in coastal townships after the provision of sewerage and the high sewer connection rates in recentlysewered townships.

“Through the Domestic Wastewater Management Plan, the shire will work closely with South East Water, Environment Protection Authority and other partners to increase sewer connection rates, better manage existing septic tank systems and continue to improve the health of our waterways,” she said.

The 2015-18 Domestic Wastewater Management Plan is available from the shire’s website mornpen.vic.gov.au Details: Senior environmental health officer Peter O’Brien, email obripm@mornpen.vic.gov. au or call 5950 1865.

Casting an eye on snapper anglers FISHERIES officers are out to make sure anglers follow snapper bag and size limits in Western Port and Port Phillip bays.

Anyone caught over the limit will face $433 on-the-spot fines for each offence, have their boats seized or be banned from fishing.

Fisheries Victoria executive director Travis Dowling said officers would enforce catch limits, check fishing licences and educate anglers about fishing responsibly under Operation Billit.

“Snapper are an icon fish so it is important anglers fish sustainably by obeying the rules, knowing their limits and taking only what they need,” Mr Dowling said.

“Officers will be undertaking patrols in uniform and plain clothes, and from marked and unmarked vessels, including jet skis, which are a new addition to the fleet this year.”

Mr Dowling said boats would be checked on the water and at boat ramps.

“Those concealing illegal snapper catches aboard should expect to have their vessel seized on the spot and, for serious offences, the courts can prohibit anglers from fishing altogether for periods of one year or more,” he said.

Mr Dowling said fishing sustainably for snapper meant following a few simple rules: Abide by the minimum size of 28cm and the bag limit of 10, of which only three can equal or exceed 40cm, and land snapper whole so they can be measured by officers if required.

He said it was illegal to make several fishing trips in one day returning with the bag limit each time. It was illegal to shorten the length of a snapper by clipping their tails or for one angler to use more than four lines.

Rules are outlined in the Recreational Fishing Guide, which is available free from most tackle stores or by downloading the free Vic Fishing app for smartphones.

Fisheries officers and Maritime Safety Victoria officers will also check to make sure boats are carrying the correct safety equipment; stay clear of ships while under way; and do not anchor in shipping channels or fairways.

Suspicious or illegal snapper fishing can be reported to Fisheries Victoria’s 24-hour reporting line 13FISH (133474).

THE new Women’s National Premier League soccer consortium Southern United is interviewing prospective coaches and plans to announce appointees soon.

Its policy is that, if a male candidate is successful, then the best female candidate will be offered an assistant-coaching role.

The consortium represents one of the largest catchment areas in Victoria. It is an amalgam of Casey Comets, Mornington, Langwarrin, Seaford United and Peninsula Strikers juniors.

The interim board consists of Michael Woodward (Strikers and ex-local zone representative), Rob Harrington (Strikers), Rosemary Meeds (Mornington), Dawn Stone (Casey Comets), Stuart McLeod (Casey Comets), James Honey (Langwarrin) and Willie Lynn (Seaford United).

Board elections are expected to be held in

November, with the format still to be decided.

Southern United will play its home games on a rotating basis at Casey Comets, Mornington and Langwarrin as they fulfil the match-day venue criteria. Training will be shared among the other consortium members.

“This is the first time so many different clubs in the local area have come together to form the one club,” organiser Craig MacKenzie said.

“There is great expectation throughout the Casey, Frankston and peninsula areas that it can hit the ground running in 2016 and make an immediate impact.”

Chipping in for kids A NUMBER of builders in the Frankston area have put their talent and time into raising funds for Menzies (“Caring for Kids”) the best way they know how.

Buy Property Direct in conjunction with Mainline Developments are the driving force behind the fundraising campaign, which will see the two companies and their affiliated tradesmen build a home in Langwarrin, and then auction it off early next year – with all profits going directly to Menzies Frankston.

Menzies (“Caring for Kids”) is a not-for-profit organisation established in Frankston in 1901 and run by a committee of volunteers. It provides a high standard of support for young people.

Menzies was once involved as a residential care service provider, but is now focused on philanthropy, service and program support.

However, its core mission remains the same - to support young people who can no longer live with their families to be safe, educated and lead fulfilling lives.

David Brewster, managing director of Buy Property Direct, paid special thanks to Frankston CEO Dennis Hovenden and the planning team who have supported the project.

Start of something: Menzies’ Georgia Symmons, Buy Property Direct’s David Brewster and Menzies’ Kevin Johnson at the site of Picture: Yanni the new house.

Zen approach brings tearful return Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ONLINE shaming of shoplifters is the way to go for small retailers upset by frequent stock losses.

That’s the message gleaned by Zen Living proprietor Annie Zaicz who, fed up with almost-weekly shoplifts, installed CCTV cameras in her Main St, Mornington, store and watched and waited for results.

They were not long in coming: a woman in her mid-30s pushing a child in a pram was filmed rummaging among the stock and stuffing a $200 dress and a $199 handbag inside the pram’s luggage rack.

A furious Ms Zaicz was determined to track the culprit down. She posted the footage online and declared, “I hope you are not too ashamed to have your picture on Facebook. If you don’t bring my stock back immediately you can expect a knock on your door.”

That did it. The woman, with a reported Czech or Russian accent, was at the shop next morning “bawling her eyes out and pleading forgiveness”, Mrs Zaicz said.

“She was saying she didn’t know why she did it and was sorry. But she knew exactly what she was doing and I’m not the least bit sympathetic.

“I put it on Facebook because I am sick of it. I used to take a USB stick to the police once a week but they don’t really know what to do with it, and the process of finding and charging offenders is more than it’s worth.”

Mrs Zaicz said the majority of online readers “liked” the story – with

some commenting that the woman’s $900 pram meant “she couldn’t be too badly off”.

Zen Living paid $5000 for cameras and security tags – amounts probably out of reach of most of Mornington’s

small boutiques. Some may have false cameras with no ability to record events.

Mornington Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas was cautious in commending the retailer’s actions. “My

concern is that they might get it wrong and be open to the laws of libel and slander,” he said.

“There could be action taken against them by some people on those grounds.”

Kids charity push not a gamble Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A FUNDRAISING effort to help sick children that promotes the Melbourne Cup has been given the all-clear by the state government in the same week Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Jane Garrett called on the federal government to crack down on gambling adverts for the sake of young people and children.

The Starlight Foundation, a not-forprofit that improves hospital experiences for children and chronically ill teenagers, has partnered with Victoria Racing Club to sell “pin & win” Melbourne Cup lapel pins to raise money for the Starlight Express Room at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital.

Ms Garrett told The Age newspaper last week the state government is keen to begin “a national conversation” around sports betting advertising’s effect on children and said federal laws should limit the “bombardment” of gambling ads.

When The News tried to ask the Minister whether it is appropriate that gambling – via the Melbourne Cup and Victoria Racing Club – is effectively being promoted using children below the state’s legal gambling age, government spokesman Kosta Pandos forwarded a statement “attributable to a government spokesperson”.

“The fundraising activity being conducted by the Victorian Racing Club appears to be intended to promote and raise funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation,” the statement read.

“It does not appear to promote

gambling or increase the exposure of children to gambling.

“The state government is concerned about the impact of gambling advertising on children and young people.

The Minister for Gaming has written

to the federal government regarding the need to address the negative impacts of broadcast and online gambling advertising.”

The News has been approached by a public relations firm working for

the Starlight Foundation offering to arrange an interview with a local ill teenager to promote the Pin & Win fundraising campaign.

In a statement promoting campaign, VRC chief executive Simon Love said

that it was important to the club to be able to give back to the community through the Melbourne Cup Carnival each year.

“The VRC is incredibly proud to partner with Starlight this year and we encourage everyone who comes to Flemington to purchase a pin and join us in supporting Starlight to make a real difference in the lives of sick children and their families.

“Over the last 20 years through Pin & Win and the extraordinary generosity of our members, sponsors and the public we’ve helped local charities raise more than $4 million, and we’re excited to welcome Starlight to the Flemington family this year,” Mr Love said.

The Melbourne Cup pins will also be sold at Woolworths and BWS liquor stores in Victoria.

Starlight Foundation spokeswoman Nicole Campbell said the sale of the Melbourne Cup pins in retail outlets and by volunteers elsewhere “is a raffle”.

“Starlight’s Pin & Win community partnership with the Victoria Racing Club aims to raise enough funds to support 15,000 seriously ill children and their families who frequent the Starlight Express Room at the Royal Children’s Hospital.”

Buyers of limited edition $10 horseshoe diamante pins and $5 Emirates Melbourne Cup pins will enter a draw to win several prizes, including a new Lexus sports car.

See starlight.org.au for details of the Pin and Win fundraising campaign.

New cameras to focus on crime Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CRIME investigators have been hampered in their gathering of evidence by the lack of CCTV cameras in Main St, Mornington.

The absence of publicly-owned cameras operating in the street was only revealed last week during investigations into two vicious assaults against teenagers waiting for buses.

Although installed and on public display, the cameras have gradually fallen into disrepair.

Almost exactly a year ago an 18-year-old girl managed to avoid being abducted from a bus stop in the same Barkly St bus stop by slumping

on the ground.

Her abductor was unable to drag the plucky girl into a white van and she used her phone to photograph the van’s number plates as it sped off.

The man, an Afghan refugee, was subsequently prosecuted for attempted abduction and deported.

Without the girl’s quick thinking police would have been hard pressed to nab her attacker.

The girl’s actions prove the usefulness of a working CCTV system.

In another incident a fortnight ago, three students were assaulted while waiting for a bus near the corner of Barkly St, with apprehension of the offender made more difficult as none of the drama was caught on CCTV – as could have been expected as there is a

camera nearby.

Police are now hopeful that the gathering of crime-scene evidence in Mornington is about to become more reliable with the installation of 16 new CCTV cameras. They should be up and running in the shopping precinct by the end of the month.

New cameras will also be installed at Mt Eliza and Mt Martha shopping strips in a joint project by Mornington Peninsula Shire, Victoria Police, the federal government and the Department of Justice.

The 33 cameras and better laneway lighting at 11 sites in the three townships is costing $460,000. The project has been funded by the federal government with money from seized proceeds of crime.

1/7 Davies Avenue | Mount Eliza | VIC 3930 (03) 9708 8626

Many of Mornington’s street cameras installed in 2004 for $76,000 by the federal government and Mornington Chamber of Commerce and run through the Mornington police station are well past their use-by date. One was damaged by a car and another struck by lightning. Neither has been repaired.

Management of the cameras has been hampered by delays in transferring ownership from the chamber to the shire, with committees and meetings frustrated by power billing disputes and grant conditions.

More time was lost seeking funding to replace damaged cameras and to improve their coverage.

Mornington police have been “extremely frustrated” by delays in having working cameras installed at Main

St’s intersections and laneways, but are pleased action is finally being taken.

Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas said he had “been concerned [about lack of CCTV] for a long time and has raised the issue with senior managers several times”.

“Wear and tear and lack of maintenance has led to the CCTV system’s collapse,” he said – an issue compounded by delays while permission was sought from a power utility to have one camera repaired.

“What really got me fired up was when the girl was nearly abducted.

We had no evidence of the suspect’s behaviour immediately beforehand, and yet we want to give the court the best possible evidence that a working CCTV system would have provided.”

Welcome to

HASTINGS o Welcome t Getting fi t – together is the S G N I T S best and cheapest way HA Welc

HAS

ALICIA Wise, Exercise Physiologist with Atticus Regional Medicentre will be conducting weekly group exercise classes for six weeks. “Basically, exercising together is an awesome, fun way to get fit,” says Alicia.

“As a community, we can make a difference by banding together to tackle issues. One of these issues is health and fitness.”

Alicia, together with Atticus Regional Medicentre wants to help with this. As an Exercise Physiologist, she knows the importance of exercise and its value in keeping us all healthy.

“The fact is though – most people already know exercise is good for them. Then why don’t more of us do it? Motivation.

Some people are just more motivated than others and they just seem to slip exercise into their day. But, for many – that’s not true. However, doing exercise as a group is a proven way to improve things,” says Alicia.

Alicia’s six week get fit challenge will be held at Fred Smith Reserve every Tuesday morning starting Tuesday 10th November, from 10:30am – 11:30am. Everyone is welcome. The exercises aren’t going to be too “full on”. Rather, just enough to get everyone

into the spirit of things.

“With the sun out and summer around the corner, why not come along, get moving and enjoy a great community atmosphere with these free group exercise classes for six weeks.

Come on Hastings – let’s make

this an awesome, active summer,” says Alicia.

Alicia’s Free Town Exercise Classes will be held at the Fred Smith Reserve, Hastings, every Tuesday from November 10, 10.30-11.30am, for six weeks.

What does everyone want out of their life? Lots of different things.

However, there are two things in common – health and happiness.

These two things generally go together. We’ve made it our business to help people reach their life goals, by helping them maximise their health – physical and mental.

Atticus Regional Medicentre was established by Dr Floyd Gomes, a GP. He had a vision to create a plain speaking medical service that got things done. A medical service that always looked at a problem from a patient’s point of view and helped them navigate a sometimes complex medical system. And, a medical service that strived to increase the health and strength of the local community as well as the individual.

However, more than this, Dr Gomes understands the importance of helping motivate his patients. “It’s not really that helpful to tell people what often times they already know” he says.

“Eat healthy, exercise more, come back to me in 6 months and we’ll check your bloods again.” What Dr Gomes recognises is that the main limiting step to improved health is often motivation. “If someone’s highly motivated, it’s likely they’ll improve their health outcome, and feel really good about themselves happier”. The question is – how can we help people feel more motivated?

Atticus Regional Medicentre answers this. Here you will ÀQG 'RFWRUV ZRUNLQJ DORQJVLGH Exercise Physiologists, Clinical Hypnotherapists, Psychologists and

Dietitians – all with a common goal – to motivate you to maximise your health and life. To help you get there, we’ve even included a gym on site!

And, for busy parents, the waiting room itself is very child friendly, cubby house and all! Added to this, Atticus Regional Medicentre supports patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by virtue of an after-hours hotline.

Patients are able to speak directly to one of our Doctors who has access to the relevant medical notes.

Such is our commitment to outstanding patient care.

Dr Tin Mi Mi Kyaw also works at Atticus Regional Medicentre. She enjoys all areas of general practice.

Prior to her life in Australia, Tin Mi worked in Burma where she spent much time within a cardiology unit.

Address: 2104 Frankston Flinders Road, Hastings (next door to the Vet!) Phone: 5979 7777 After Hours Hotline (for registered patients of the practice): 0488 007 270

Cardiology remains a special interest of hers. Dr Tin Mi stands as a proud ambassador for Burma, having done much philanthropic work related to her homeland. She now brings that same spirit of generosity and kinship to Western Port. The team of Doctors is rounded off by Dr Seemin Ahmed.

Like Tin Mi, she enjoys all parts of general practice, as well as mental health and women’s health.

The whole team at Atticus Regional Medicentre is highly focussed and professional. Yet – at the same time, we’re willing to have a laugh with our patients. Indeed, we hope you feel at home. After all – laughter and relaxation both make great medicine!

Dynamic duo who remade the news

The Western Port Whisperer THE Whisperer would like to start off by scotching the whispers that he is actually an alien life-form sent to infiltrate human society and observe their habits as an advanced party that will precede a full scale invasion.

The Whisperer would suggest that while NASA is looking for life on Mars, their next big mission should visit planet Earth, as sometimes their is a large absence of intelligent life here. *** THE Whisperer loves being back in ‘Whisperer Land’, however, the money is not the best, thus a new business venture is on the cards.

The idea results from recent hot weather, and a whisper about a government department rumoured to only send out contractors to mow grass on its land once a year.

The Whisperer’s income could be boosted by mowing grass on properties where the owners are too lazy, or bureaucratic pencil pushers refuse to send out contractors them.

With summer arriving soon, everyone needs to do their bit to ensure properties and public lands are well maintained. The Western Port townships are all too familiar with bushfire threats, with two events where the CFA has issued advice messages to local communities in the last 10 months!

No one, whether a local resident, property owner or a government authority, should be allowed to leave grass growing upwards of a meter high, as the Whisperer has spotted on roadsides, rail lines and private property recently. The only thing that should be reaching towards the sky is our expectation the

aforementioned people do their job, and not the grass which is so poorly maintained. *** WHILE on the high horse, the Whisperer has done some research, which notes there are 12 Neighbourhood Safer Places in the Mornington Peninsula Shire. These are areas designated as places of last resort during a bushfire.

What surprises the Whisperer is none of these exist in the Cerberus or Watson wards, which cover an area including Baxter, Somerville, Tyabb, Hastings, Bittern, Crib Point, Tuerong, Moorooduc, and Merricks North.

The Whisperer is hopeful that considering some of the communities just listed have been under threat from bushfires in the last 10 months, such an oversight will be rectified in the near future.

If communities along the Port Phillip coastline can have safer places, surely Western Port can have a couple too. *** THE Whisperer picked up a copy of the High Street Hastings Draft Streetscape Design Framework, and was surprised to discover that the front cover image indicates we drive on the right hand side of the road in the Western Port region. The Whisperer wishes to confirm this is not the case. We are still in Australia, thus we drive on the left. *** UNTIL next time, happy mowing and take care driving. If you’ve heard a whisper, let The Whisperer know: westernportwhisperer@gmail.com

The two of us Graham for nine all-too-short years led The Age from the front, from the middle and from the sides.

It is one hell of a job being editor. The pressures are enormous, particularly when you are charged – as Graham, at the age of 36, wanted to be charged – with making the paper the best, the most relevant and the most influential and trusted journal that you can.

Graham first identified the best talent from within the company and brought in talent from without. Then he nurtured, encouraged and cajoled to get what he wanted from a terrific group of journalists, photographers and cartoonists.

It was a very large team with a captain who, to use a football expression, was the undisputed Brownlow medallist. He was, after all, a Walkley Award winner and a terrific writer.

[Macdonald returned from Cambridge University in the late 1950s, “flaunting a brand-new degree in law and history�, to learn the family business from the editorial floor to the board room.]

Anyone new to the reporters’ room in 1959 could see immediately that the driving force was Graham. He just dominated with his ideas, his encouragement and his leadership. He had the respect of all.

When I became managing director my good fortune was that he was still there. He was appointed editor in 1966 – it was a no-brainer.

He became a close friend and partner. Our approach to what needed to be done melded, matured and expanded. For nine stimulating years things happened. The paper grew in impact and in reputation – and not just as the “Spencer Street Soviet�.

Then, in 1975 the Graham Perkin era tragically ended. [Perkin died at home of a heart attack early on 16 October.]

This evening is about Graham Perkin and his influence on Australian journalism – and the reputation he gave The Age nationally and internationally. Graham believed that newspapers were, as he put it, “a public trust, as well as a private business�.

He introduced the concept of telling readers

TYABB OP SHOP

GRAHAM Perkin about what we were doing and who were doing it. He believed in the need for public trust and The Age’s role in representing it in challenging the decision makers, in holding their collective feet to the fire – and in allowing readers to know what was happening and why.

Both of us believed that democracy only works if you have a free and questioning media, which provides an early warning system so the community can have its say before decisions are made behind closed doors.

Graham’s one-eyed allegiance to the Melbourne Football Club should also be mentioned – he said that having a managing director being equally one-eyed about Collingwood [Macdonald was Magpies’ president for four years in the 1980s] provided him with a steady second income.

Melbourne won most encounters in those days, though on the golf course Graham was less successful, as his approach was purely physical – the further the better was his motto.

He was great company, had a terrific sense of humour – the Savage Club was his environment rather than the Melbourne Club.

Graham filled a significant place in my life with nothing off-limits for debate and discussion – including the perennial theme of how to make The Age a better paper.

His name will live on as a symbol for all that was best in Australian journalism – and still can be.

By David Harrisson THE Melbourne Press Club last week commemorated the death of Graham Perkin, one of Australia’s great journalists, 40 years ago. He was vitally alive in that room for the many who worked with him, and for those honouring the legend he has become, an enduring and inextinguishable presence in the annals of Melbourne.

Ranald Macdonald, a former managing director of David Syme and Company who now lives at Flinders, appointed Graham Perkin editor and with him revived The Age, making it a newspaper of world renown. He spoke at the commemoration dinner. This is an edited text of his address:

NEWS DESK Healthy approach to pause that restores ORGANISERS of the annual Peninsula Health and Sustainability Expo say their perspective on health and wellbeing practices can help people pause to try out mindfulness techniques.

Now in its fifth year, the expo provides tips and demonstrations on environmentally friendly practices and wellbeing techniques.

Fiona Redding, nicknamed the Happiness Hunter, is one of 60 Mornington Peninsula businesses, health practitioners, nutritionists and wellness operators who “care passionately about living in a holistic and happy way”.

“It doesn’t take much to change your own lifestyle – but sometimes it can be overwhelming to know where to start, and who to turn to,” she said. “This is such a terrific opportunity to make those connections and changes.”

The expo is 10am-4pm, Sunday 25 October, at Mornington Racecourse. Tickets are $3 adults ($5 a double).

Details: phse.com.au or facebook.com/ PeninsulaHealthWellbeingExpo Health and happiness: Organisers of the Peninsula Health and Sustainability Expo look to mindfulness for well grounded living.

LETTERS Reef protection I understand the passion of the local community to protect the Great Barrier Reef and I respect their views. We all care deeply about the reef and that is why as minister I have taken historic steps to protect the reef and put in place the $2 billion Reef 2050 sustainability plan.

When I came to office there were five major plans for capital dredge disposal in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Those plans are now gone, so five has become zero.

I have implemented a ban on capital dredge disposal in the entire marine park.

We know that science is important to understand how to improve the health of the reef and improve our management. For this reason I have established the National Environmental Science Program with a tropical water quality research hub with $32 million in funding.

These and other ground new measures we’ve put in place led UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee to praise Australia as a world leader in its management of the reef and to recommend against it being listed as “in danger”.

We do acknowledge that there are ongoing challenges, including climate change which is a threat to reefs around the world.

I am confident that we have strong environmental policies in place to ensure Australia plays its part in tackling that challenge.

We are meeting our emissions reductions targets for 2020 and on a per capita basis, our 2030 target is equal to the highest in the G20.

On Thursday, a meeting was organised with a small group of GetUp representatives and local residents at my office to discuss their concerns about the reef and climate change. I was not notified that there would also be a large crowd outside the office, however I took the opportunity to speak with them. I then invited them all inside and about 30 people came to chat with me and I spent more than an hour with them.

Greg Hunt, MP for Flinders and Environment Minister

Concreting Somers It started as an idea around seven years ago and was described as a soft meandering path. The group called the Somers Residents Association promoted the project in a newsletter.

A petition requesting a show of support for this project was circulated among the residents and the results tabled.

Imagine the response of the residents when these figures of support were submitted to Mornington Peninsula Shire to support the development of a three to five metre wide slash through our natural nature strip vegetation to lay down a

PAGE 14

Western Port News 20 October 2015

proposed 2.2 meter wide concrete path.

Somers residents will be paying for this ugly path - $1700 if it passes in front of your premises or $ 400 plus, if you are a ratepayer living anywhere in Somers.

This type of ratepayer pays path project has never been done on the peninsula before. The council said it has been but has still failed to tell us where or when.

There is a massive groundswell of disbelief and opposition.

Red and white “no concrete paths” signs are visible on the properties of many of the Somers residents.

Many are opposed to this project and want a clear and transparent survey of all ratepayers to show honestly the level of support for the paths.

Many ratepayers are writing to their local MP and the councillors involved in this project approval process.

The Somers Village Community Group will have a stall at the Somers Art Fair, Sunday 25 October with more material and the chance for discussion.

Michelle Gregory, Somers

Greener approach Alan Reid's letter (“Power to India”, The News 13/10/15) is wrong on so many levels it smacks of the intent to be misleading. The world is facing global warming above the assumed reasonably safe level of two degrees by the end of the century, and the time of burning carbon intensive fuels is well and truly over.

His pronouncement that the Greens are hell bent on denying developing nations a chance to become as destructive to the environment as the developed nations were over the past 200 years, is a falsehood.

The Greens would like to see sustainable development of all nations and we in the so called developed nations have to help the developing nations in this endeavour.

First we have to give an example by changing our unsustainable way of living and hand over sustainable energy production methods to them.

The fact is, if we keep doing business as usual, in the way we treat the environment and encourage the developing world to do the same, it will be these nations that will face the worst effects of global warming and the climactic effects this will produce.

The Greens do not want to deny them the chance of a sustainable life. On the contrary, we advocate a more equal way of living for all people on the only planet we have.

It is time to set the myth to rest that it is OK to dig up, pump out or otherwise develop more greenhouse gas producing fuels. Many places in the world have realised this and some nations

are 100 per cent carbon neutral in their energy production. Australia is one of the nations that could easily produce all its energy from renewable sources, but for the will of our government to make it happen.

The poor of the world will not thank us if we destroy the biosphere of our planet for purely for profit.

I feel Mr Reid is promoting such a way, and I cannot agree with such a dead end view of life on this world.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

PM’s praise The new Prime Minister [Malcolm Turnbull] must surely be joking. Praising Tony Abbott as a great prime minister at the NSW Liberal Party love in. Love his sense of humour.

Next, he will be telling us that Joe Hockey was the best treasurer Australia has ever had.

Is Malcolm trying to turn the bull?

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Roundabout wrong In response to the letter from the Bruce and Jane MacDonald (“Roundabout support”, The News 13/10/15) about the proposed roundabouts in Wooralla Drive, Mt Eliza, I would offer the following: Firstly, I am in full agreement about the need to slow traffic – particularly down the hill towards the 80 kph zone – it’s just that a roundabout is not the only option. We certainly don’t have any roundabouts in Tower Rd, except for the overplanted one at the top of the hill, which is absolutely necessary and appropriate given the number of intersecting roads. What we have in Tower Rd are two “slow points” which are effective traffic calming devices.

If the aim is to slow the traffic down the hill, surely the installation of chicanes, slow points or even speed humps would be more effective and certainly save hundreds of thousands of our dollars. This could be done anywhere between the top of the hill and Maughan Rd. Roundabouts are an excellent solution when properly placed as they allow traffic from intersecting roads a reasonable and equitable chance to enter the flow. This is clearly evident at the Moorooduc Road/Wooralla Drive intersection. I would question whether there is a reasonable case for this at both Wooralla Drive sites? In addition, the gradient and sheer drop at the Brighton Crescent site will be a serious and therefore expensive engineering challenge using money that may be better allocated within the shire.

Secondly, I have still been unable to find any corroborated evidence of fatalities at either in-

tersection. This is not to say there have been no accidents on that road, just none at the proposed roundabout sites.

I am willing to be corrected on this on seeing some actual data.

Greg Dixon, Mt Eliza

Right of passage As a pet owner, I empathise with the anguish of a hurt animal, however as a cyclist I feel the letter (“Ring the bell”, The News 13/10/15) lacked vital information to enable a balanced opinion.

The path in Karingal referred to is surely the Peninsula Link path as this is often frequented by “Lycra-clad” cyclists and is the only shared thoroughfare in the area. I also feel that had your pet been leashed, this would have been a strongly argued point in your piece and certainly an avoidable accident.

I also question how the cyclist managed to get back on her bike and ride off if she didn't stop to begin with.

This track is a shared path for all, but does not extend to off-leash dogs being exercised.

There are designated areas for this (which can be found on the Frankston Council website) and it is an offence that often causes issues.

Calling the cyclist careless is possibly correct as we didn't bear witness, however, allowing an animal to carelessly roam a very busy shared path is equally (if not more) irresponsible.

Mark Williams, Carrum Downs

Helper thanked I write to thank the kind lady who stopped, assisted and drove my daughter to the Rosebud hospital following a collision among a peloton (group) of Round the Bay riders, of which my daughter was one, at the corner of Carmichael St and Point Nepean Rd on Sunday 11 October.

Inquiries the next day at the hospital revealed no details of this wonderful lady, to whom I am very grateful.

Fortunately, my daughter sustained only minor injuries. Incidentally, some riders in other mishaps were admitted to this hospital with far worse injuries.

I would appreciate being able to thank this kind lady personally for her concern and kindness to my daughter so, if she reads this, or if anyone knows who she is, please call me on 5985 9537.

Kitchen heats up in election approach David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE seemingly long wait over, it was all eager anticipation on 14 October at the first Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting in almost a month – at least for the eager ratepayers who filed into the gallery to observe democracy at work. There were … oh, let’s see … at least three or four of us.

Councillors were not exactly tripping the light fantastic as they took their places. Their feet seemed leaden. CW sensed a frisson, always likely to produce some reportable highlights.

They came, but CW was slightly repulsed by several of them.

A significant sight for the keen observer was the state of Cr Andrew “Billy” Dixon’s head. He had been coiffed by an expert hand, scissored deftly from dragged-through-hedge-backwards to smart young tory about town.

The popular hedge hairstyle has long intrigued comb-dependent CW. One must conclude that it requires more maintenance than a short back and sides– it requires un-combing – and must madden mothers of a neat disposition.

The hedge simile is said to be Gaelic slang, its earliest citation found in the Hereford Journal of February 1857, when, reporting on a poultry show, it stated: “In the class for any distinct breed came a pen of those curious birds … the frizzled fowls … looking as if they had been drawn through a hedge backwards.”

Readers may care to glance at the accompanying pictures, of a frizzled fowl and of Cr Dixon in his pre-coiffed days, to get the full drift. Note particularly the fowl’s startled look.

But CW digresses grievously. Sober business was impending and the side was two councillors down, with Lynn Bowden joined on leave of absence by David Gibb.

It began with a summary of briefings councillors had received on seven subjects, from the proposal to rename Rosebud West Capel Sound and a report on rate capping to the perennial issue of public transport, this time in the form of the PenBus and its future.

How depressing that a scheme as successful as this one might fall victim to a funding cut.

Then CEO Carl Cowie summarised the shire’s achievements over the 2014-15 year, an impressive list that can be viewed on the shire website, mornpen.vic.gov.au, along with the financial statements and performance statement for the past year.

A shire report followed on unsewered peninsula communities – take note, residents of Point Leo, Arthurs Seat, Red Hill and Cape Schanck – and its long term intention to reticulate every residence and business.

Councillors gave the OK to two previously discussed plans – Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento, and Rosebud’s Jetty Rd foreshore – then voted to defer an item on Rye Senior Citizens Club unallocated funds to the 26 October council meeting.

At this point, with the meeting moving along smoothly, the gallery was anticipating an early night and possibly home in time for Four Corners with a cuppa. Then matters gang’ed agley, as aft [OK] they do, when flood mapping became the subject for discussion.

Staff had put forward an amended recom-

mendation, dramatically different from that in the agenda, which had not been seen by Nepean ward councillors Tim Rodgers and Hugh Fraser.

Devoted readers of this journal may recall a recent report of builders’ tart remarks about the flood maps and their impact on business, mainly as they applied to the Nepean ward end of the shire.

CW did not see the amendment until it was lodged on meeting day. He thought the whole item, especially the original staff recommendation, pussy-footed around the core concern about the maps – their basic accuracy and efficacy – and that the new recommendation did little to tackle these concerns.

Perhaps this is because the process is, er, fluid – unconscious puns involving words such as “streamline” abounded in the ensuing debate – with substantial parts of the flood map subject still being put in place.

The amendment was “not in my papers”, couriered on Friday, Cr Fraser said.

A flood of explanations followed. Those with a special interest in this arcane matter might like to listen to the audio record of the meeting, to be found on the website. The item begins about 40 minutes into the meeting.

Cr Fraser’s move to further amend the recommendation, to open the mapping process to the public, ran into fierce resistance. The convoluted discussion that followed was unseemly in a number of ways, from outright unrebuked high-volume rudeness to (in CW’s opinion) ineffectual attempts to guide debate.

Some participants fitted the tart observation of Benjamin Disraeli about the style of his great House of Commons rival William Gladstone who, Disraeli said, was “inebriated with the exuberance of [their] own verbosity”.

This caustic remark came to mind when one debater loftily informed fellow councillors – two of them lawyers, whose business is words – that “everything is made of words – that’s what frames the world. It’s a no-brainer. We use words every day”.

It was a revelation that momentarily stunned the chamber into silence.

CW, learning at the meeting that the electronic flood maps would be available on the shire website “later this week”, searched for “flood map” at 3.30pm Friday, but was disappointed to find nothing relevant to this brand-new initiative in the first 80 listings the site displayed.

Not late enough in the week, possibly, or possibly “flood map” was not specific enough to find the maps.

Typing CW’s property address into the search box, also recommended, produced a list, number six of which was “bathing box heritage stage 2”, at which CW, resident of an elevated block, gave up. His reliance on words had failed him.

One thought about meeting tension occurred to CW later. We are close to November and a new mayor. Presumably numbers are being counted, deals are being made, candidates are working on their images. Tension? We’re in for a month more of it – at least.

Police honour colleague A FUNERAL service will be held at the Police Academy, Wheelers Hill, on Tuesday (20 October) for Leading Senior Constable Simone Carroll, a mother in her mid-30s, who died last week.

She is believed to have taken her own life at the Seaford Multi-Disciplinary Centre, Monday, after 12 years on the force.

The coroner is investigating the incident, in which the policewoman is believed to have shot herself with her service revolver.

The Seaford centre is one of the four in Victoria providing support and services for adults and

children who have experienced sexual assault.

It is believed that more than 40 Victoria Police officers have committed suicide since 1990.

Police Association secretary Ron Iddles told radio station 3AW that officers had to deal with confronting work issues.

“One in five of the general community will suffer depression, and if you overlay police work, which has got relatively harder and more stressing over the last couple of years … the statistics are in excess of 200 members in the past 12 months are going off sick with mental illness,” he said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Six year old girl dies after train fall Compiled by Melissa Walsh PRIVATE A. McArthur, of Mornington, is reported wounded. *** ON account of the ordinary train being cancelled on Saturday, the mails will arrive at 5.14, and be delivered up to 6 pm at the local post office, *** DR and Mrs Maxwell are at present spending a holiday at Healesville. Dr Bartram is attending to duties in the meantime. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Horticultural Society will be held on Monday evening next, when Mr T. M. Bourke will deliver a lecture on cooperation. *** A welcome home, will be given Lieutenant Fisher, Sergeant Polglase and Private O. Young at the Wattles Club dance this evening. *** OUR readers are reminded that Professor Mudd will deliver his lecture “Will we win this War?” in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, on Thursday evening next. He will also deliver it at Tyabb on Monday, at Somerville on Tuesday, and at Langwarrin on Wednesday evening. The chair will be taken at 8 o’clock on each evening. *** OWNERS of canine pets are warned to keep them on the chain at present if they wish to keep them alive, for some low-down despicable scoundrel is laying poisoned baits broadcast about the township, and quite a number of

residents have lost their favorite dogs by this means. It is a pity that the perpetrator of these acts cannot be traced, and get meted out to him the punishment he so richly deserves. *** WHILE travelling in a train with her parents from Melbourne to Mornington on Friday last, Mary Way, aged six, living in Glencairn avenue, Coburg, fell out of an open door, sustaining depressed fracture of the skull. She was taken to the Children’s Hospital and operated on but she died on Saturday morning. The girl’s father, David Way, a clerk in the Railway department, says he was travelling with his wife and six children. When about a mile from the Carrum railway station a door of the carriage swung open, and the child, who was sitting near a window next her sister fell out. He is unable to account for the opening of the door. *** THE following letter has been received from Driver A. G. Young, from Heliopolis Hospital, Cairo, dated August, 29th. As you see, I am still here though I don’t suppose it will be many days longer now—in fact, I expect to be sent to a convalescent camp any day. Am feeling A1 again, though still a bit weak. The Doctor let me up the other day for the first time. When I asked him if I could, he gave a bit of a grin and said “Oh Yes! Get up by all means, but don’t go playing football, or anything like that.” I didn’t notice the sarcasm, but I remembered his grin as soon as I did get up. My knees

played “God save the King”, and all the other national anthems and I was jolly glad to crawl back to bed again.

I am being fed on jelly, chicken, beef, tea etc. and I am getting better every day. It is very lonely though, and I have not seen a soul I know since Kenny Webb came to see me. I expected him again yesterday, but he didn’t turn up. Luckily there is plenty of reading matter here so I don’t do too badly on the whole. I expect by the time you get this I will be back on Gallipoli again. I hope to be at any rate.

Egypt is no good to me; and though Gallipoli is no blooming modern garden of Eden it will always do me in preference to Egypt.

I have managed to scrape up enough paper to write through tearing out bank leaves from three books I have been reading. By the way you wouldn’t credit the number of books I have been through to get these three pages. I think others must have been on the same game as myself—in fact, several others, or else the publishers show lamentable want of foresight in not including a few blanks in all their books. I have been here on my back for nearly 3 weeks—19 days to be exact, and though they treat you alright, I will be glad to get my marching orders.

It must be nearly a month now since I was taken on to the hospital boat and for a while I had a pretty rotten time, but it will be “what ho!” for Johnny the Turk again soon. The first few weeks over there were awful. I don’t think I could go through the same ex-

perience again but I was wonderfully lucky, and got nothing worse than a few frights, a scratch on the arm, and a hole through a brand new packet of cigarettes. That happened just before I got the fever though, and when there was comparatively little lead about. It was shrapnel in both cases, and I think the loss of the cigarettes was the worst mishap of the two. I didn’t even have to go to the doctor with my arm, and I am afraid the scar— not quite as big as a threepenny bit— will not last till I get hone. I think I had better get a photo taken of it before it goes. I am keeping the cigarettes as a curio, but I hope I don’t run too short of tobacco, or I will be tempted to smoke them though they are all in halves.

Vagg, who was wounded during the first week, came in again yesterday with a batch of wounded and sick.

He was not wounded again, but his old wound was giving him trouble. I saw Oliver several times over there (which means Gallipoli) and he was OK. We had a few yarns together, but you can imagine we didn’t get too much time to ourselves. He gave me two letters from home though, the first I had seen for—oh several years.

It is months since I had a letter but have filled in a form and sent to base (where the letters are first sorted) and they have promised to send them on.

The Sisters here are splendid, and they seem to be run off their legs. An old lady who visits here two or three times a week, asked me where I came from, and I said Victoria. “Oh Yes” she said “I’ve been there three times

on my way home. I stayed a couple of days there— not right in Victoria, but in the suburbs.” I was nearly going to ask her if it was King Island or Tassy she stayed at, but thought I’d better not. I wish to goodness the war would hurry up and finish, so that a fellow could get home. It looks like lasting a while yet though. *** THE season’s prospects are considerably above what were foreshadowed last year, though the spring here is later than was foreshadowed a month or two ago. Heavy August and September rains were the chief cause. The spring has, however, fairly started and all grass, crops and orchard prospects seem excellent. The recent efforts of the Roads’ Board seconded by those of the local councillor have given us main and bye roads rather better in quality than we possessed last year, though there still remains plenty of room for more effort. The use of a road grader seems to be justified in the ease and quickness by which dangerous roads can be made to assume quite a workman-like aspect. The good work of the Balnarring Red Cross League continues. The complete receipts for the Jumble Fair held on 18th ult. is £37 8s 1d. £3 3s were sent to the “Xmas at the front” appeal, and £3 3s to the Australian Red Cross Society. The balance £31 2s 1d is to be spent for local necessities—wool, flannel, etc, for the soldiers’ needs.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 October, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

An Open Letter to Tucker Carlson of ‘Fox and Friends’

By Stuart McCullough YOU have some nerve, mister. When I first heard you’d said Australia ‘has no freedom’, my first instinct was to call emergency services; that’s how convinced I was that your pants were on fire. What possessed you! (I’d like to think is was the ghost of Ethel Merman, in which case it wouldn’t have been something you said so much as sang whilst wearing a pair of fishnets.

That’s just a personal preference, of course.) I understand you made this somewhat astonishing claim whilst debating gun control. Maybe it something you said in the heat of the moment – if your trousers were ablaze, the heat of the moment would have been pretty intense.

Normally when writing to a wellknown TV presenter, this is the point at which I say I’m a long-term fan.

Fact is, though, I’d never heard of ‘Fox and Friends’. The name of your program sounds immensely convivial; a place where bonhomie is always in plentiful supply and comrades warm themselves around an open fire with a tumbler of whiskey whilst swapping amusing anecdotes before falling to the floor in an inebriated heap.

Alternatively, I thought it might have something to do with Basil Brush, the beloved children’s puppet. Sadly, your show does not centre on an amusing anthropomorphic fox, nor are their tumblers of whiskey and an open fire.

More’s the pity.

The first thing I’d say about ‘Fox and Friends’ is that furniture seems to be in short supply. Presumably that’s why all three of you are sitting on the same couch, looking supremely un-

Dissin’ Oz: Nobody can knock Australia except for Australians! Source: Twitter

comfortable and so uptight that if the energy expended in clenching your buttocks together could be harnessed, it would surely power a small village.

The three of you look like you’re waiting for a job interview. Perhaps the lack of comfortable seating goes

someway to explaining your extraordinary outburst.

The other point that becomes immediately obvious upon even the most cursory of glances is that ‘Fox and Friends’ not so much combat between intellectual gladiators as it is a

drunken scuffle in the car park. I’m not sure I can even call it a ‘debate’.

This was not so much a case of reasoned argument as it was mild hysteria. Granted, sometimes hysteria can be a good thing: ask any Def Leppard fan. Sometimes, however, hysteria can be soul-numbingly disappointing, as anyone who’s had to listen to a nextdoor neighbour perform ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ at three o’clock in the morning can surely attest.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but Australia does have freedom. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that we have oodles of the stuff, so much so that it sits around in buckets. Just this morning, I scraped a chunk of it off the bottom of my shoe. Trust me, you can’t turn around in this country without tripping over a pile of freedom. Had you done your research, you’d have known that ‘freedom’ is, in fact, Australia’s third largest export, just behind iron ore and Hugh Jackman.

You also claimed that people can go to prison for expressing unpopular views in Australia. Were that true, then proceedings for your extradition to our fair land would already have commenced. Actually, we’d probably be doing you a favour. Not only does Australia have plenty of freedom, it has enough chairs for everyone – you’d never have to sit awkwardly on a couch with other people again. Ever.

In making these claims, you did not cite any specific examples, research or statistics. Frankly, I envy you. It must be glorious to live in a fact-free Universe where evidence is regarded as a trivial inconvenience that can be bypassed. Things must be so much easier

that way. I must say that until this current controversy, I had no idea who you were so I ‘Googled’ you. Granted, doing so is perilously close to research and, accordingly, you probably consider it an affront, but I wanted to get a better idea of where you were coming from. Wikipedia describes you as a ‘pundit’. I can only assume that the designation of ‘pundit’ relieves you of the burden of any actual effort to support your views. It must be awesome.

There’s no nice way to say this, Tucker, so I’ll resort to some Australian vernacular. Frankly, your remarks have gone down like a cold cup of sick. Some people have gone so far as to suggest that you’ve made a complete goose of yourself. If you’re not careful, we may seek to punish you by inviting you to some rubbishy pseudoliterary festival or making you responsible for half-time entertainment at the next Australian Rules Grand Final. (Trust me, it’s a poison chalice.

Just ask Meat Loaf.) Luckily, you can avoid all this unpleasantness.

Don’t let the first thing that pops into your head escape over your lips. Next time you think about shooting your mouth off about gun control (sorry for the pun), stop and think instead.

Granted, stopping and thinking makes for awkward television, but it makes for much better discussion. Better yet, you might want to get down here. Call it a ‘fact finding’ mission and I will personally give you a guided tour of the joint. Until then, I look forward to your imminent retraction. Kind regards, Stuart McCullough, Tyabb, Australia. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Salon des Refusés has established an excellent reputation that rivals the selections of the ‘official’ prize exhibitions and is often cited as a more lively and discerning selection. At Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery until 29 November, the 2015 Salon features portraits of Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty, gardening dynamo Costa Georgiadis, popular author Jackie French, chef Armando Percuoco and acclaimed designer Catherine Martin.

me long before her Australian of the year award.

A major interest for me is in the music of colour.

The portrait is based on the secondary triad of orange, green, and violet. These are hardly ever found in their purest forms, but being taken to their extremes provide interesting harmonies and tones. Yellow was Luke’s favourite colour and so at Rosie’s request some of the space is yellow in his memory.”

Local Mornington Peninsula artist Christopher Pyett painted Rosie Batty. He says of his portrait: “I approached Rosie to ask her to sit for

BRAITHWAITE ROCKS THE CHELSEA HEIGHTS

By Melissa Walsh Daryl Braithwaite and band will be performing at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on November 2.

Braithwaite, the former Countdown King of Pop is looking forward to returning to the Chelsea Heights, where they have always had a great reception.

“We are heading to the Chelsea Heights again, which is a great gig. The venue is terrific with lots of space and a great sound,” says Braithwaite. “It’s the audience that make it and the Chelsea Heights always delivers.”

Braithwaite has spent most of his life doing what he loves, and after more than 40 years in the music industry, is still going strong, releasing his latest album, Forever The Tourist, a couple of years ago, and continuing to play gigs every weekend.

“I love singing and performing on stage, and

the spontaneity of live gigs,” says Braithwaite, who has spent a bit of time on the peninsula surfing, his other great passion.

Horses and Howzat always sure to get the crowd pumping, and throwing in a few from Forever the Tourist as well.

“It’s just really important to keep passionate about what you do,” says Daryl. “I was lucky enough to have a great start with Sherbet in 1970. We were all guys just doing what we loved, and I can’t believe I still get to do it.”

“It’s taken a while for it to take off but “Not Too Late” is becoming popular at the gigs now too which is awesome. It proves that its never too late and you just have to be persistent.”

Braithwaite says performing is not hard work at all.

Braithwaite says the band is looking forward to the November Chelsea Heights gig.

“I sometimes feel guilty. I have mates who have normal jobs and I still get to do this for a living,” he says with a laugh. “Although over the years I take the live aspect very seriously as far as the sound and the lights and that we play with a purpose.”

“Its one of the bigger pubs and I have grown to enjoy it a lot over the years,” says Braithwaite, who has been playing with the same band for decades. “John is the longest serving band member, at around 25 years and the others have been around 20 years together.”

Braithwaite and the band will be playing a heap of the old favourites, of course with

As for keeping the energy levels racing,

Braithwaite says it’s all about having passion for the music and performing.

“Its like anything. If you enjoy it you will put the work in.”

And as for writing, he says it’s not his favourite thing to do but every now and again an idea will hit him.

“Its funny, I actually had an idea today for a song about summer, I haven’t decided yet but I was walking through the lobby of the hotel and started thinking about it. You never know what might come out of it,” he says.

With a voice that soars with inspiration, soul and warmth, following the success of Sherbet, and an incredible solo career, Braithwaite continues to play sell out gigs across Australia and the Chelsea Heights is no exception.

WESTERN PORT

scoreboard Islanders in command PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LONG Island has placed itself in a commanding position against Pines in MPCA Provincial cricket after scoring 9/263 on day one of the match.

Despite a shaky start that saw the home team 3/49, Islanders’ skipper Scott Phillips (70), along with Justin Bridgeman (31) took the score to 117.

Strong performances from Andrew Tweddle (49) and keeper Michael Chaplin (42) in the middle order then ensured the Islanders batted out their 80 overs and posted a strong score.

Craig Entwhistle and Nick Wilcox each claimed a couple of wickets each for the Piners.

The Piners will need to bat a lot better than they did in the opening round last week to be any chance of victory.

Langwarrin gave up a solid start but still managed to post a competitive score of 228 against Sorrento.

The opening pair of Matt Prosser (77) and Simon McEvoy put on 128 for the opening stand but the Kangas pretty much lost their way after that.

Jake Prosser scored 22 batting at three and Mitch Bromley was more than handy again in the middle order, however, the rest failed.

Jayden Morgan was the surprise packet, opening the bowling and claiming 3/56 from 20 overs, while Bobby Parslow put on a show, snaring 5/25 from 18.5 overs. He bowled 11 maidens.

Mornington has again failed with the bat, this time against Moorooduc.

However, the Dogs’ bowlers have placed them in the box seat.

The Doggies struggled against Langwarrin last week in the one day game and on Saturday, limped to 177 against the Ducs. Brad McDonald top scored with 59 and Michael Heib scored 36.

The home side rolled their more fancied opponents in the 66th over.

Leigh Lambert (3/27 from 19), Sushant Gupta (3/33) and Ross Cordeaux (3/31) were more than solid for the Ducs.

Unfortunately, the Moorooduc batsmen couldn’t sustain the good work done earlier and fell to 3/30 after facing the final 14 overs of the

afternoon. Dogs’ quick Luke Popov has 2/13 Only three Baxter batsmen made more than 10 runs on Saturday against Rye, however, it was enough to give them a competitive total of 205.

Dale Irving hit 67, Shane McComb 49 and Ben Matters 46 at the Greg Beck Oval.

Tom Baron was superb for the Demons, taking 7/63 from 33 overs.

Max Cairns was a solid support opening the bowling with two wickets.

Dale Irving and Chamika Sattambi then went to work with the ball for Baxter, picking up two early wickets to have the visitors 2/12 at stumps.

Brad Rossborough has once again started the season in blistering fashion, smacking an unbeaten 110 for

Miller lifts the Hills DISTRICT

By IT Gully IT’S been a long time since Heatherhill has dominated a day of cricket but it certainly did that on day one of their MPCA District clash against Flinders.

The domination came on the back of young gun Kristian Miller, who smashed 133 against the Sharks.

Opening the innings, Miller clubbed 18 fours and two sixes as he dominated all eight Flinders bowlers used to try and dismiss him.

Jake Theobald provided solid support for him early with 35 before skipper Nathan Martin got in on the act and helped himself to 66.

Miller was eventually dismissed

by Max Royal before Jordan Creely (32) and Zach Horsley (20) had a bit of fun at the end.

The Hills posted a more than competitive 7/299.

Royal was the best of the Flinders’ bowlers with 3/72 while the evergreen Shane Beggs claimed two wickets.

Pearcedale’s start to the season in District ranks continued in impressive fashion against Boneo, posting 288 from 80 overs.

Chris Dew dominated with 91, Matt Cousland opened with 53, Mitch Andrew scored 42 and Max Blackburn hit 33 to help the Panthers to the big total.

Sean Spencer was the best of the Boneo bowlers with 4/53, while Cam Williams claimed 3/70.

Seaford Tigers are in some real strife against Baden Powell after being rolled in the 52nd over for just 126.

Jon Plakourakis top scored for the Tigers at the top of the order with 33, while Corey Hand scored 20 in the middle order.

The Braves shared the wickets around. Tom Wood was the pick of them though with 3/24 from 11

PAGE 46

overs.

In reply, the Braves are cruising at 1/89 with Wood dominating with 64 in just 28 overs.

The match between Carrum and Red Hill is sure to go down to the wire after 14 wickets fell on the first day.

The Hillmen won the toss and sent Carrum into bat. It proved to be a good decision, the Lions rolled for just 152.

Hayden Moulton saved the day for the home side with 64, while new skipper Andy Johnson hit 26.

Brent Martin picked up three wickets and Glenn Collett opened with the more than tidy figures of 2/34 from 15 overs.

However, in reply, the Hillmen are in some early trouble at 4/44 after Jeremy Graves grabbed 3/16. Simon Dart is still at the crease.

Main Ridge is in some trouble against Seaford, resuming on day two at 3/41, chasing 201.

Earlier in the day, the Ridge were superb with the ball, rolling the home side in just 63 overs.

Chris Cleef top scored for Seaford with 55 and Ryan McQueen scored 42.

Luke Collins (3/37) and Nick McNamara each took two wickets for the Ridge.

Gareth Wyatt is not out 19.

Mt Martha has set Delacombe Park a modest total of 187 for victory.

The Reds opened well with Alex Mason scoring 56 and Mitchel Darville hitting 40, while Kade Bendle was superb in the middle order with 53. They were the only three batsmen to get into double figures.

Shane Deal picked up 5/56 for the Parkers.

In reply, Delacombe is 0/12 from three overs. 187 looks lean at Delacombe Park and the Reds’ bowlers will need to be at their best.

Skye’s not the limit for Buds SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully Rosebud will head into day two of its match against Skye in a commanding position after belting 9/316 in 76 overs on Saturday.

Matt Maher scored 60 batting at four and skipper Brad Glenn hit 36. Jason Mathers was rolled for a duck.

Pat Clish was the best of the Skye bowlers, claiming all five of the nine wickets.

Motoring

New Commodore the most powerful ever THE launch of Commodore VFII introduced a new 6.2-litre LS3 engine to all V8 models, bringing with it a sensational V8 soundtrack courtesy of a bi-modal exhaust and mechanical sound enhancer, in addition to all-new styling cues including bonnet vents and front fascia ducts.

The powerful LS3 6.2-litre V8 engine delivers 304kW of power and a stunning 570Nm of torque, with peak torque delivered earlier in the rev range compared to the outgoing model, ensuring VFII is the quickest Commodore ever.

Holdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering team has redesigned the Redline sedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rear suspension stabilizer bar and, in conjunction with a reduction in rear spring rate and retuned dampers, has been able to achieve improvements to both overall ride comfort and handling. Redline Sportwagon and Ute also benefit from the revised damper tuning, resulting in enhanced ride comfort.

Partnering the new engine are a number of brake options, each designed to fulfill the needs of specific customers. Holdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well tested standard brake option provides exceptional everyday performance, whilst the optional Performance Brake package, developed for heavy duty Police applications now becomes available for retail V8 customers. The top of the range, SS-V Redline model now boasts Brembo brakes on all four wheels to further optimise track day performance.

Holdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lead Development Engineer, Amelinda Watt, said develop-

ing optimum vehicle performance relied on extensive real world testing undertaken by Holden engineers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tested this car over approximately 250,000 kilometres in a range of environments, from Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alpine Ranges to the Surf Coast and Great Ocean Road, fine tuning VFII to ensure it performs to the high standards Commodore drivers expect,â&#x20AC;? said Ms. Watt.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 6.2-litre LS3 engine combined with the revised differential ratio and suspension changes means this Commodore is, without doubt, the best weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to the engine and tuning, we have undertaken a great deal of work to make sure VFII has the soundtrack to back up its performance. The application of a bi-modal exhaust, mechanical

sound enhancer and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Baillie Tipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ensures youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear VFII before you see it.â&#x20AC;?

The newly introduced bi-modal exhaust is activated using a button on VFIIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight-inch colour touchscreen and intelligently detects driver input to create a distinct and unmistakable engine symphony.

Holdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief Engineer, Andrew Holmes, described the challenges in

introducing the new 6.2-litre engine and pointed to the revised design of the car as a key factor in enhancing many of the cars performance attributes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the considerations in utilising the bigger engine is heat management and airflow. We spent time at Monash University to develop aerodynamic performance and engaged heavily with our design team to make sure we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a thing,â&#x20AC;? said Mr. Holmes All VFII sports models receive a new front fascia complete with a larger grille, facilitating improved cooling airflow. Additionally fascia ducts allow for improved aerodynamic performance by reducing the size of the wake off the front corner of the vehicle.

VFII V8 sports models receive a further engine cooling aide in hood vents that allow the release of hot air directly out of the engine bay while simultaneously giving the car a more aggressive appearance. The hood vents have also been engineered to effectively redirect water away from critical electrical components in the engine bay.

Holdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Design Director, Richard Ferlazzo, said VFIIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design changes complimented the engineering work done under the hood and ensured the car continued to stand out on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The functional design changes give VFII a much more aggressive appearance and give customers another reason to come and take a look at the car,â&#x20AC;? said Mr. Ferlazzo.
