Insight into Navy life
Here’s how it’s done: Able Seaman Sarah Perry, of HMAS Cerberus, shows a heat detecting device in the firefighting area to Amber Haslem, of Balnarring, at the open day. Picture: Gary Sissons
AN open day at HMAS Cerberus on Sunday gave thousands of visitors a rare glimpse of Navy life, as well as a great day out. Known as the Cradle of the Navy, the base has up to 800 staff and each year trains about 4000 members in all three defence forces. Commanding Officer Captain Stephen Bowater said the 30 military activities on show included interactive displays by Navy clearances divers and even cooking demonstrations by Navy and Army cooks. Training faculties were open for inspection, and there were displays by the Indigenous Dance Group and commando skydivers. The Navy’s 816 Squadron conducted wet winching evolutions. Those with an interest in history inspected rare collections housed at the HMAS Cerberus Museum. “Our emphasis is to train our men and women to the highest of professional standards so they’re well prepared to be part of the Navy and Australian Defence Forces,” Captain Bowater said. “The Open Day is a great opportunity for the public to see the range of training we offer and speak with our people about life in the ADF.”
Costly path to protest Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE high legal cost of protest is the latest stumbling block to face residents angry at plans for concrete paths at Somers. Faced with unforeseen fee increases at VCAT (Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal), the owners of about 25 per cent of properties in the town were yesterday (Monday) facing the prospect of only being represented at half
of the scheduled four-day hearing. This week’s hearing was the latest instalment of a long running campaign against the footpaths by three groups associated with the Somers Village Community Association (SVCA). The fight has already highlighted deficiencies in the shire’s use of special charge schemes to finance footpath construction, prompting an internal investigation that recommended abandoning one scheme, reviewing others and deferring nine. However, the shire has given the
Somers pathway project high priority and proposes an exposed aggregate shared pathway along Camp Hill Rd and the northern end of South Beach Rd with an exposed aggregate narrower meandering footpath along Parklands Av, Tasman Rd and the south end of South Beach Rd. On Monday the Somers protesters were “left with uncertainty” when their application for a waiver of fees was turned down by the principal registrar at VCAT. Dr Chris Atmore, advocate for two

scheme, including a video taken from a moving car of trees earmarked for removal. Dr Atmore said two of the three groups of objectors from Somers would be unable to afford to attend the final two days of the hearing. She said the costs of mounting an appeal could “put a lot of people off and yet, here on the wall [at VCAT] is the motto Fairness for all Victorians. It’s supposed to be friendlier and cheaper than going to court; this really is an indictment of the previous state government”. Page 11

of the three applicant groups, said increased VCAT fees had exceeded their budgets. She said legislative changes introduced by the previous Liberal-led state government which took effect on 1 July had “drastically increased” the cost of VCAT hearings. “They [increased costs] knock out what can be done by a lone objector who also needs to be represented by a lawyer,” she said.

New councillors to lose support Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au NEW councillors elected to Mornington Peninsula Shire council will have half the support staff available to their predecessors. Just before council elections last week CEO Carl Cowie announced that two councillor support positions will be made redundant. In an email seen by The News, Mr Cowie said he had made a judgement call to make the support team “even better” despite the loss of two jobs from a team of four female employees. All four positions were made redundant and the staff involved have been told they can apply for the two new jobs. “We have a great team of people here and we will keep improving,” Mr Cowie stated in the email to all councillors. “In the end, you pay me to make decisions and execute the council plan, sometimes the decisions seem tough, not right, sometimes it just takes time to see the fruits of the labour.” Some councillors were surprised by the timing of the decision to axe two support jobs since there will be at least seven new councillors including firsttime councillors. Just four councillors out of 11 in the previous administration – Antonella Celi, Bev Colomb, David Garnock and

Hugh Fraser – decided to stand for reelection. Departing mayor Graham Pittock said councillors had been told a new process may be put in place to support councillors that will involve personnel from other departments pitching in to help. He expressed concern at the CEO’s decision to axe the council support staff. “I hope he knows what he’s doing,” Cr Pittock said. “The four-person council support team is disappointed. They did function well but obviously there’s another plan.” Results from the 22 October council elections will not be known until 30 October at the earliest after a count overseen by the Victorian Electoral Commission. Council elections are held every four years and, since so many councillors are stepping down, the shire faces an influx of councillors who may have no experience of local government or the administration of formal meetings. Council support staff help councillors with correspondence received from ratepayers, organise councillor diaries to attend community events and act as a point of contact between councillors and council staff in various council departments. Two staff members will have to look after 11 councillors during the next four-year council term after the re-

dundancies which will be made next month. While the councillor support team has only been together for “a couple of years”, Cr Pittock said two of the employees are long-time council workers. The shire declined to answer questions about how much the redundancies would cost. “Mornington Peninsula Shire continues to review the delivery of programs to provide the best level of service to our community and to ensure ratepayer funds are used as efficiently as possible,” Mr Cowie said in a statement. “As part of this process, shire business units are continually looking for ways to improve their performance. “It is not appropriate to discuss any specific staff circumstances.” In his correspondence to the councillors, Mr Cowie said he valued their advice when discussing the council support team and other matters but ultimately: “Whether one takes the advice or opts to back oneself, that’s just an experiential judgement call and I’ll always do that, always trying to get the best result for the shire”. Mr Cowie, born in Scotland, succeeded near 16-year predecessor Michael Kennedy as shire CEO in December 2014. Mr Cowie has a business finance background and there have been several staff redundancies since his appointment amid a restructuring of council’s operations.

Behind scenes advice a Topsy service Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au NEW councillors elected this weekend who have never served on council may get a helping hand from mentorship services provided by a former Kingston councillor and mayor. Topsy Petchey, a four-time Kingston mayor and councillor for eight years until 2008, has been a consultant for hire to both Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Shire councils in the past few years. Her TePee Pty Ltd business offers mentorship, mediation and consultation advice and help for councils and companies. Frankston Council confirmed $59,695 was paid to Ms Petchey over two council terms, totalling eight years, for work done to assist council and councillors. Mornington Peninsula Shire advised that $70,600 had been paid to provide advice to councillors and help with performance reviews since October 2012, the start of the previous four-year council term. Ms Petchey often helps councillors discuss the appointment of a council chief executive officer and the CEO’s key performance targets. Frankston councillor Sandra Mayer, one of several councillors who consulted with Ms Petchey, said the former Kingston mayor taught her about the challenges facing councillors. Cr Mayer said she found the mentorship service invaluable and felt a lot of councillor infighting over the past two years at Frankston Council may not have happened if Ms Petchy had been on hand to give advice.
Frankston Council payments to Topsy Petchey* All councillors: $28,467 CEO and officers: $3237 Sandra Mayer: $9807 Kris Bolam: $8250 Christine Richards: $2242 Brian Cunial: $1787 Glenn Aitken: $1018 Colin Hampton: $633 David Asker: $274 Alistair Wardle: $274 *Payments allocated during two council terms between 2008-2016
Councillors’ counsellor: Ex-Kingston mayor Topsy Petchey is now in the consultancy business.
“She’s a really genuine person who is passionate about local government,” Cr Mayer said. “It’s a bit disappointing in this term we had people saying they’d be fine without external assistance. “This council was not interested in engaging with her and if they had they may have seen things from a different perspective – you’re not there for yourself, you’re there for your community.” Former councillor Kris Bolam, hoping to be re-elected when council election results are announced on 30 October, said he had also consulted with Ms Petchy when he was a first-time elected
Mornington Peninsula Shire refused to provide a breakdown of payments per councillor and CEO. representative to council. Mr Bolam has previously criticised council for “wasting” money on consultants. “As a new council we required a steady hand to help ensure that infighting and personality clashes did not occur,” he said. “Topsy provided a great deal of advice in preventing the infighting and personality clashes that we see at council. “There is a good use of consultants and a bad use where the value can’t be accounted for.” Mr Bolam said with six new councillors in the 2008 intake of elected rep-
resentatives, Ms Petchey’s advice was beneficial to get newcomers up to speed quickly. Frankston Council was happy to provide a breakdown of the fees paid to Ms Petchey’s consultancy company, including the allocation of costs to each councillor, but Mornington Peninsula Shire was less forthcoming in releasing information about how ratepayers’ money is spent. Shire media communications manager Mark Kestigian said caretaker provisions in force in the lead up to council elections on 22 October meant council could not release information that may affect the elections outcome. The News requested the information from the shire three weeks before the elections caretaker period began on 20 September and regularly asked when the information would be provided only to then be told the information would not be provided. Departing shire mayor Graham Pittock, who is not seeking re-election, was more open about the use of Ms Petchey’s consultancy services. “Usually it’s the mayor and maybe a councillor might occasionally ask her for advice,” he said. “It’s good to have someone to provide independent advice. She’s highly regarded and her advice is sought after. Overall, I think we get value for money.” Ms Petchey told The News she does not advertise her company’s services and is approached by councils when they need independent advice on matters such as CEO contracts. “When you’re first elected you don’t know what you don’t know. And it would have helped me, even 10 years
ago, if someone said ‘this is available to do, just tap into it’ because you’re learning on the job and so many people have never had this sort of experience,” Ms Petchey said. “I also can do the facilitation of discussions councillors have around the mayoral election - basically ensure it’s a process that stands up to scrutiny and everyone is able to present if they want to be mayor.” She said she had not done any work for Frankston Council over the past two turbulent years. Cr Pittock believed new councillors can benefit from mentorship advice. “Next year we’ll have a minimum of seven new councillors and there’s so much to learn and they do need a reliable mentor.” Fees for mentorship services are not solely listed as a councillor training expense at Frankston Council. “Payments for various professional services provided by Topsy Petchey have been allocated to relevant areas of council’s budget as determined by the service provided,” council CEO Dennis Hovenden said. “This includes training and development, consultancy and others as deemed appropriate.” Mornington Peninsula Shire has been secretive about councillor expenses this council term and has refused to release the figures for the full council term before council elections. More than $30,000 of ratepayers’ money, excluding council officers’ time, has been spent by Frankston Council on arbitration hearings into councillors’ misconduct during this council term.

Joint venture: Groups are working together to protect the Mornington Peninsula’s exotic flora.
Peninsula’s rare plants protected SOME of the rarest plants on the Mornington Peninsula and French Island will be better protected under a $85,000 project between Trust for Nature and Parks Victoria. The state government money will go towards fauna population surveys, weed control, establishing herbivore exclusion zones, improved fencing, seed collection and conservation management plans. Trust for Nature regional manager Ben Cullen said one of the rarest orchids in Australia - the leafy green-
hood - occurred in some areas of the Nepean Peninsula and was considered a threatened species because of trampling, pest herbivores, urban development and “unfavourable” land management practices. Other species and communities protected by the project include the coast helmet orchid, Venus hair fern, late helmet orchid, coast tobacco, French Island spider orchid, swamp everlasting and coastal Moonah woodland. Trust for Nature and Parks Victoria are working in collaboration with
Royal Botanic Gardens, Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association, Australian Native Orchid Society and land holders to protect endangered species. “It’s really important we work collaboratively and that the community is part of the efforts to give these rare plants the best chance of survival on both public and private land,” Parks Victoria ranger Louise Bracy said. For more information about the project call Ben Cullen on 0407 044 821.

Officer celebrates 40 years on beat Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au VICTORIA’S longest serving police officers were honoured at a special morning tea at Parliament House last week. Police Minister Lisa Neville and Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton hosted the event in Queen’s Hall – where they thanked the officers for their dedication and service in keeping the community safe. Over their time the officers have witnessed changes in crime fighting techniques, including the introduction of random breath testing, drug testing and DNA profiling. It’s a whole new world. Among the 50 police honoured were Highway Patrol Sergeant Bruce Buchan, who has served at – among others stations – Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula Traffic Operations Group. Sergeant Buchan was celebrating 40 years to the day since joining the force, making him one of 242 officers to have served more than 40 years. “It is a bit of a mystery why I wanted to join,” Sergeant Buchan said last week. “A work colleague went to the same high school as I did and he told me that he knew I was going to be a copper as I was always reading Police Life magazines in the school library. The problem is I don’t remember doing this. “I do recall that, when I attended the Dandenong police station for an interview, I was asked by the senior sergeant why I wanted to join and I

replied that I wanted to help people. That’s what I saw the role of the police to be. “So, when I was accepted into the force I had been working as a legal clerk in the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works in Lt Collins St. That had been my first job and, although it was a good start, I couldn’t see myself staying there. “I left there on 15 October 1976, had the weekend off and began training at the Police Academy on 18 October. Training lasted five months and, unless you had exceptional circumstances, you had to live in there. “In those days you graduated on the Friday and began three months’ duties at a training station, which for me was the Elsternwick Police Station. It wasn’t an exciting police station and,
after my time there I, like all the others, ended up at the Russell Street Police Station where you seemed to be in a holding pattern. “I remained there until early 1978, learning the ropes, performing stints at the City Watch House, Parks and Gardens locking up drunks, Flinders Lane Police Station and East Melbourne Police Station. “As I wanted to work closer to home, I managed to transfer to the old Moorabbin Police Station. That was a good little station with a good boss and I then transferred to Frankston Police Station where my learning curve really kicked off. “Frankston has always been a busy place and you learnt a lot. I got there not long after the Frankston Riots in May 1979.
“In those days you seemed to be in court every week giving evidence for the drunks you had arrested and every court case you were involved in had the potential to be a contested hearing. You got to know your local magistrates quite well and they you, in fact, if you were a fair police member, the magistrate would seem to note this. Your reputation before the courts was very important. “After three years I decided that I needed further experiences and transferred to the Cheltenham Crime Cars. It was mainly plain clothes’ duties and life consisted of going on raids, taking out warrants and arresting crooks, but it was a lot of fun. “In 1985 I transferred back to Frankston and worked there for about 18 months before transferring to the
Traffic Operations Group at St Kilda, then to the Traffic Operations Group at Frankston. I really enjoyed those duties but it was time to take promotion and I was promoted to sergeant in 1990 at the Transit Police. That was an interesting place and I remained there for four years. I was lucky to investigate a high-profile crook while there and ended up extraditing him to Victoria from NSW. “In 1994 I managed to transfer to the new Moorabbin Police Station as a supervisor until I returned to the TOG in 95 as a supervising Sgt. Been there ever since and have seen the name change from TOG to TMU to HWP. “Of the highlights, the entire job has been an eye opener for me, and it afforded me a lot of confidence … I used to hate public speaking, but now I can talk the paint off the walls. “I think my involvement and interest in road safety has been the most satisfying of all the policing duties I have performed. It seemed at the time to be one of the only jobs within Victoria Police that you could make a real difference to the community’s driving attitudes.” Southern Metro Region Acting Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir said he was happy to “provide some words around Sergeant Buchan to recognise at local level his 40th year of service to the Victorian Community”. “Bruce has been a long serving member of the Highway Patrol in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula area over many years. He is a passionate advocate for road safety who really cares about the community and his staff.”

Award for seniors’ travel group Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A VOLUNTEER transport service which goes out of its way to get seniors out and about on the Mornington Peninsula has won an Age-Friendly Victoria award. Peninsula Transport Assist president Neil Toyne accepted the honour at a ceremony at Government House earlier this month. The service was formed to overcome two issues affecting peninsula residents without transport: the second highest proportion of elderlies in Victoria and the second lowest level of public transport. Added to this is the low proportion of taxis to residents. These factors combine to make getting around a tall order for a significant proportion of the population and a challenge for PTA organisers Neil Toyne, Andrew Morse and Don Reeves. To get things rolling, the trio registered the service as a charity in 2013 and formed a working partnership with the shire, the Brotherhood of St Laurence, and Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership. They found that many community organisations had 12-seater buses that often sat idle due to a lack of volunteers, and mulled over challenges relating to training and managing a volunteer workforce. Now the service has 50 volunteer drivers, four buses, and another 11 vehicles listed on a bus registry. “We often underestimate how

important the ability to travel is to a person’s quality of life,” PTA treasurer Andrew Morse said. “Most people don’t give a second thought about their ability to drive a car, catch a train or order a taxi. “But, for those who experience transport disadvantage, their inability to get around may leave them feeling disempowered, alone and unable to access basic services. “Our service pools community resources together. By enabling community organisations to drive further for cheaper, we help combat transport disadvantage throughout Frankston
and the Mornington Peninsula.” Mr Morse said the service enjoyed a 300 per cent jump in demand last year. In the Peninsula Transport Assist model a volunteer driver, in their own vehicle, picks up clients from their home to take them to medical, social or other engagements. “The flow-on effects of this are yet to be quantified but would represent a significant value to the community,” Mr Morse said. Volunteer drivers use their own cars to transport older people by using a central booking system and are reim-
bursed for kilometres travelled. “I think it’s important to highlight the value to our community of the ‘pooled’ bus model,” Mr Morse said. “It’s a win/win situation where our community benefits from the use of idle buses and these organisations receive a financial return that they would not otherwise receive.” As well as a volunteer committee, the service employs three part-time administration staff. “The service shows how we can make our communities more age-friendly, enabling older people to maintain their autonomy, social engagement, civic participation and wellbeing,” Mr Morse said.
MORNINGTON Peninsula identity Peter Holloway has passed away after a battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Mr Holloway, president of the Mornington Peninsula branch of the National Trust of Australia, was a respected advocate of heritage on the peninsula, and had an in-depth knowledge of the area’s history. Past president Judy Walsh will step into the role of acting president of the National Trusts’ peninsula branch. Ms Walsh said Mr Holloway’s death was a sad loss. “Peter was well known for the retention of heritage on the Mornington Peninsula,” she said. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Graham Pittock said Mr Holloway was an “exceptional help” in heritage issues and had become a good friend, despite unsuccessfully standing against him in two past council elections. “He was always honourable in defeat,” Cr Pittock said.

Using rubbish to spread clean-up message Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au
Award for bringing food to the table
A RYE woman has won the Dame Phyllis Frost Award for her project The One Tonne Challenge, which focuses on “giving back to the ocean by encouraging people to pick up rubbish at our beaches”. Josie Jones collected the award at Horsham, Saturday 15 October, in the annual Tidy Towns competition in which three Mornington Peninsula townships – Mornington, Hastings and Crib Point – were finalists in their categories. Horsham won the 48th Tidy Town Awards which are run by the Keep Australia Beautiful Council. Media personality Mark Mitchell was master of ceremonies. Ms Jones has a strong passion for the marine environment and her campaigns – The One Tonne Challenge, If you see it pick it up and I’m really a mermaid – have encouraged people to remove litter from beaches. A catalyst to her beach-cleaning work many years ago was inadvertently watching a woman bury a nappy on a beach in Tahiti. She dug it up and disposed of it properly, but the image remained and the passion for the cause was roused. The graphic designer uses her skills as an artist to create clean-up poster campaigns that, hopefully, get people onside. Sales from posters each year aid dolphin research as well as research and study into the southern right whale. Ms Jones has also visited the whale protection ship Sea Shepherd and

pushed local rubbish and recycling campaigns, including at Rye Primary School. “A lot of schools don’t even have recycling programs,” she said. Beaches along both Port Phillip and Western Port bays – where she began collecting rubbish 10 years ago – are a “soup” of plastics and litter. Her most frequent finds are cigarette butts, lollypop sticks, fast-food wrappers and plastic pieces of all sorts. Little red plastics soy caps are a bugbear. On her daily walks between the White Cliffs hill and Capel Sound she picks up on an average three kilograms of rubbish. She prefers to display her work through rubbish collection so that no-one can deny its existence, and she doesn’t ask anyone for help. “I allow my actions to be an example to others,” she said.
“Word of mouth gives leverage to the I’m really a mermaid campaign. “I am passionate about changing the views and habits of people about effective waste management.” Ms Jones said winning the award was an “awesome achievement for the area”. “Currently the trophy is being shared: it spent two days at Captains of Rye, for whom I am a designer; it is now at Freaky Tiki and then it will go to A Mini Kitchen, which sells posters for the campaign.” Six other peninsula initiatives were recognised in the Sustainable Community Awards: Mornington Community Information and Support Centre for its emergency relief centre which assists those experiencing financial crisis; Crib Point Community for the rubbish clean up after the bush fires, and Mornington Peninsula Shire and
MORNINGTON Community Information & Support Centre manager Lisa Elliott was thrilled her group was honoured in the Tidy Town awards. It won praise for its efforts in providing food for low-income earners. “The award represents our many programs aimed at alleviating financial stress by providing free healthy food,” she said. “Much of this food is sourced through Secondbite and some is cooked for our meals program. The fresh food program provides a free parcel of food to around 15,000 people each year. “The meals are assisting a small group of low-income and isolated residents with healthy sustenance, as well as a warm and friendly evening out,” she said. She thanked the shire for the “amazing support we receive in providing our most vulnerable residents with continuous support over 36 years”. “This support comes in the form of professional advice from many different sources, a generous annual financial grant and providing us with infrastructure to house our main Manton and Stony Creek Landcare Group for transforming the Red Hill Station Reserve into a useable community space. Highly Commended Awards went to Mornington Peninsula Shire and
business of support, information and guidance to visitors to the peninsula,” she said. “The Masonic Lodge has welcomed our meals program and the work we are doing and allows us to use their kitchen and main hall twice a week,” Ms Elliott said. “St Marks Uniting Church has housed our Free Fresh Food Program for the past four years and the minister John Haig and his congregation support us financially with a supply of Woolworth’s gift cards each year.” This program supports other community organisations, including Mornington Park Primary School’s breakfast, hot lunch and cooking classes. St Vincent de Paul volunteers work closely with the group. Supporters help by donating to the food pantry, op-shop and winter coat appeal. “The community action involved in providing so much support to lowincome earners has been awarded on a state level and recognises a whole community approach to supporting our most vulnerable,” Ms Elliott said. “It would be difficult to quantify the incredible ways this community supports its own, with 140 volunteers over many programs.” Mt Eliza Placemaking Group for the Mt Eliza Community Safety Signage project. Western Port (Hastings) community volunteers also received an award for their visitor information centre.

Kitchen’s open: The ribbon is cut by French Island hall committee chair Rob Thompson, Hastings Western Port Rotary Club president Linda Humphries, and former French Island Landcare president Alison Pitt. Picture: Supplied
Island treats from new kitchen FRENCH Island War Memorial Hall is the hub of community activities, and its kitchen is vital in providing a friendly and usable community space, with food at the heart of many community events. So, what could be better for the islanders than renovating the old community kitchen? Much fanfare surrounded the opening of the improved kitchen at the beginning of French Island’s Spring Community Market Day, Sunday 25 September. It has been refitted with new cabinetry, fabulous granite bench-tops, stainless steel double sink and dishwasher, as well colourful mosaic splashbacks said to reflect the
diversity of the small community. The upgrade was made possible by a grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, as well as donations from the Hastings Western Port Rotary Club, French Island Landcare and The Pinnacle. Bunnings Hastings also donated kitchen equipment. Representatives from Hastings Rotary and French Island Landcare were present to cut the ribbon following speeches made by Robert Thompson, chair of the French Island Mechanics Institute & Recreation Reserve Committee of Management, and committee member and project coordinator Rosella Battaglia.
“The whole project was very much a community effort, with almost all the tradespeople being French Island locals, except for the magnificent cabinetry supplied and fitted by Frankie Natoli, of Total Woodworks, Baxter,” Ms Battaglia said. “We also had huge volunteer support from locals and everyone worked together productively and positively. There is a great feeling of achievement and satisfaction with it. “The outcome is a beautiful and functional community kitchen. It looks fantastic and there is a real sense of community pride in the result, with lots of locals calling in for a look.” Stephen Taylor
HASTINGS resident Hannah Swinnerton, pictured with her awards, is a national finalist in the Face of Confidence Australia Pageant, held on the Gold Coast mid-month. “I placed first runner-up and so was second in Australia,” she said. Hannah, who has strong anti-bullying views, said the pageant aimed to raise the awareness of White Ribbon Australia, which campaigns to stop men’s violence against women. Hannah also won the Miss Most Helpful and Miss Social Media titles. “Miss Social Media means I received the most online votes and did the most awareness on social media,” she said. “Miss Most Helpful means I helped my director throughout the national finals whenever she needed it and I helped the other girls.” Hannah said she spoke about her bullying story on stage and got a standing ovation. She is now sharing her story at schools while continuing to train at the gym.
Novel’s tragic tale
Unfortunately, his hopes for a better pay offer went down faster than a pint on a summers day and thus his days as a columnist in this paper have returned. *** ELECTION time is so exciting. There is nothing better than filling out a ballot paper, shoving it in an envelope, signing said envelope and then shoving it in another envelope and then into a mailbox. To be perfectly honest, The Whisperer finds this to be a drag, and it leaves a bad taste in ones mouth when you have to lick those awful envelopes. Finding out information about candidates has also been difficult.
Unfortunately, there are some candidates who have a tendency to hide information. The Whisperer has a theory; if there is a question a candidate refuses to answer, the chances are they are hiding something and should probably not get your vote. *** IN the last couple of weeks there has been a lot of conversation regarding the presence of clowns in Melbourne. Fortunately, these have not made their presence felt in the Western Port townships, or have they? Mrs Whisperer, the unofficial Queen of Etiquette, shocked The Whisperer the other day by suggest-
also the irrepressible optimism of the times and the mateship, love and resilience that would come to define a budding nation. Bookings are essential. Visit ourlibrary.mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1820.
Fire ‘landscaping’
ABC journalist Paul Kennedy will visit Hastings library next month to talk about his book detailing one of Australia’s worst sporting disasters, 1pm, Tuesday 8 November. His novel Fifteen Young Men: Australia’s Untold Football Tragedy describes the loss of 15 Mornington Football Club players and officials who drowned while sailing home from Mordialloc on a cold night in 1892. His compelling recreation is of a spirited Australian town on the cusp of a new century. It captures the trauma of families and friends suffering almost unbearable loss, but
A “landscaping for bushfire” workshop will be held at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Eco Living Display Centre 10am–11am on Saturday 5 November. Fire education officer Katie McKenzie will speak about fire behaviour, good landscape design and suitable plant types to create an environment that will minimise the risk of bushfire. The session costs $5 a person and all proceeds go to the CFA. Tea, coffee and snacks will be available. For bookings visit mornpen.vic.gov. au/eventslisting.
The Western Port Whisperer
A BIG welcome back to the Western Port Whisperer, who has had a hiatus due to completing another much higher paying job. As many of you will be aware, ‘Mythbusters’ was cancelled earlier this year, but what many of you don’t know is The Whisperer was asked to audition as a replacement for the hosts. Unfortunately, the first assignment was to debunk the myth of the ‘Premiership Hangover’. As you can tell The Whisperer’s absence for several weeks, he failed this task due to too much celebrating courtesy of the Hastings Blues and the Western Bulldogs breaking their premiership droughts.
Winning ways: Hannah Swinnerton has picked up two awards on her way to the finals in the Face of Confidence Australia Pageant.
ing there are clowns all around us, they just don’t seem to wear scary masks, and are prone to appear all the time. These people are called road users, and they fail to observe the most basic road rules. Stop means stop, and The Whisperer nearly had a collision the other day with someone who clearly doesn’t know what the red, octagonal sign means. A note to all clowns on the road, red is not only the colour of your nose, but the colour used to suggest the need to stop or use caution on the roads. *** OUR friends at the shire are at it
again. A few months ago was the issue of the shire nearly forcing local Men’s Sheds to close due to increased costs. Now it appears volunteer and community groups are being hit up with extra charges just to have meetings and/or any other basic activities in shire owned facilities. The most common excuse is rate capping, however, it has been suggested to The Whisperer the reason community groups are being penalised is because they are an easy target. *** Heard a Whisper?

Teacher’s aim to be top of class LONGSTANDING Hastings Primary School teacher Julie Bryant, right, has been selected in the top three primary teachers in Victoria for this year’s Victorian Education Excellence awards, to be announced on Friday (28 October). She is also in the running for the Lindsay Thompson Award as overall state winner in all nine categories. Hastings Primary School principal Sue Lyons said staff at the school worked hard to ensure the community “knows about us and takes pride in the education local schools have to offer”. “In the recent nominations for the Victorian Education Excellence awards I nominated long standing early childhood teacher Julie Bryant for the Primary Teacher of the Year award,” she said. “Ms Bryant has taught in the Hastings community for over 30 years and made significant contributions to the children and families in Hastings. “We are thrilled that of many nominations across the state, she has been selected in the top three primary school teachers.” The education department’s overview described Ms Bryant as having a “deep understanding and regard for the children that enter her classroom every day. “She recognises that not every child progresses at the same rate – some need more time, others more support,” it said. “With a special interest in the early years, Ms Bryant has led key transition and wellbeing programs that are giving every child at Hastings Primary School the very best start. “Through her own research, further studies and a commitment to improving outlook and outcomes for local families, Ms Bryant has been instrumental in delivering practical strategies such as Kidsmatter, Linking Schools and early Years partnership and Flying Start at her school. “She has worked tirelessly with school colleagues, early educators and allied community services to continuously improve student development, well-being and learning outcomes.” Stephen Taylor
Week wait for poll result THE results of the weekend’s council elections will not be known until more than seven days after polling day. Voters had until 6pm on Friday (21 October) to complete and return ballot papers to the Victorian Electoral Commission to be counted but the election overseer will also count any votes received before midday on Friday 28 October to account for any postal delays. Mornington Peninsula Shire council votes will be tallied by computer count. Provisional results are expected between noon on Friday 28 October and Sunday 30 October and will be listed on the VEC’s website. Results for all elections are provisional until the official declaration of results, between Monday 31 October and Friday 4 November, for all council elections across Victoria.

Hurry!
Cricketers hit – again CRIB Point Cricket Club has been hit by intruders for the third time in the past few months. No cash was stolen in the early morning Friday 21 October break-in but Senior Sergeant Allan Paxton, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said $2000 damage was caused when thieves forced the front sliding glass door and then smashed an internal roller door and shelving. CCTV footage is being examined. It is believed to show two men wearing hoodies inside the building at 4.30am. Club president Ricky Thompson said the club had learned from the string of break-ins in March, August and, now, October, not to leave any cash in the clubhouse. He said the robberies were an “expensive inconvenience” for club officers who were called out in the middle of the night to meet police on site. “The thieves don’t get anything out of it except causing damage to the clubrooms,” he said. More security upgrades are planned at the club.
Crews halt shed fire MT ELIZA Fire Brigade members extinguished a potentially dangerous shed fire on Saturday afternoon last week. Lieutenant Mark Turnham said the shed was “fully involved” when the two Mt Eliza trucks and one Frankston truck arrived at the Winona Rd property. The shed containing garden tools was next to a garage and house and the blaze took 15-20 minutes to control. The cause is unknown. “The crews did well to protect the garage and house,” Lieutenant Turnham said.
Cost threat to Somers paths appeal Continued from Page 1 Dr Atmore said the groups representing more than 300 Somers property owners say the footpaths as planned by the shire “will destroy vegetation, compromise habitat for wildlife including koalas, and will detract from the character and amenity of Somers”. “Each of the three applicant groups has in the last few days been told by VCAT that we will have to pay $783.90 each for each day of the four-day hearing,” she said last week. “This comes to a total of $3135.60 for each group and a grand total of $9406.80 for the community. The council is not required to pay hearing fees.” Dr Atmore said the groups budgeted for their legal costs in August after the failure to reach agreement at a compulsory case conference. “As a community group with limited funds, we had sought confirmation of the costs at each stage of the VCAT process,” she said. “On 24 September we sought and received clarification about the daily fees for the expected four-day hearing - $341.50 a day, totalling $1366 each for the proposed four days of the hearing. There was also a possibility that this cost would be shared among the three groups, but as we
5975 4665
weren’t sure, we budgeted for $1366 for each group and hence sought funds from individual donors - mainly the signatory applicants - to cover this.” Dr Atmore said it had since been confirmed that the costs would have been shared “if the proceedings hadn’t been reclassified as complex”. “However, on Friday 14 October we received an email from VCAT informing us that the matter had been deemed a complex case, which attracts much higher fees. “The new total of $9406.80 is nearly double what we have expended on legal advice, while council pays for its two lawyers out of our rates, and up to nearly five times the cost of what we might have expected to pay after being informed by VCAT on 24 September.” David Gill, a candidate for the Red Hill ward in the current council elections, said the footpath protesters “want a delay with the hearing”. “This [fee rise] is an example of how difficult it is for ordinary people to win at VCAT,” Mr Gill said. “For them to win is almost a miracle. “The price has been put up at short notice and I believe the council has used the system to stop the residents from having a fair hearing.”

New councillors face great expectations Congratulations to the yet to be announced new Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors and their successful campaign to serve the residents the shire. I hope they realise that residents have invested and entrusted them with the power to make MPSC the envy of every other municipality in Australia. It’s going to be a huge job and a long hard slog because MPSC is coming off an extremely low base. They should adopt the mantra of [former football great] Ron Barrassi: “If it is to be, then it’s up to me.� First and foremost, they should not rush to elect a mayor. Previous experience as a councillor is not an essential requirement to be a figurehead. Residents do not want a mere figurehead. We want a “can do and will do� mayor. A mayor who will take personal interest in the operations of council officers to ensure that local laws are obeyed and enforced. The next new CEO should be put through the same vetting process. Does anyone know if we currently have a CEO? An even more stringent vetting process is required for hiring unit managers and their officers. They should all know the local laws and how to enforce them - that is their job. They should also know that it is their duty to respond to letters, emails, messages and telephone calls. Finally, to make it abundantly clear that MPSC is serious about improving its rating, notify all employees in writing that it intends to reinstate the age old consequence for dereliction of duty, for negligence, for indulging in deceitful practises and blatant fabrications - dismissal. There are plenty of well qualified, even better qualified unemployed people waiting to replace them. Having been elected to council, I hope councillors don’t let your supporters down. Jane Smith, Hastings
Humanitarian approach Refugees make up a very small part of the 800,000 people coming to Australia each year: short and longer term immigrants, students and workers. The government’s current policies for refugees, which are shrouded in secrecy, seem punitive and short-sighted and certainly lacking understanding of the plight of refugees. It also seems that refugees coming by boat are considered separately to immigrants and that the huge numbers of arrivals is not common knowledge to government advisors. It is a relief to know that there are people and organisations looking at the whole picture in a humanitarian way, with a view to finding solutions to very difficult and complex issues around refugees in Australia and around the world. The government has many people in our communities who would support changes to our current policies of mandatory detention and certainly to allow the men, women and children to come to Australia from both offshore detention
to get this pathway built to create a precedent for shifting the financial burden of infrastructure development onto ordinary ratepayers. Rate capping by the state government is making it harder for councils to just increase rates to ever higher levels, so this scheme would enable local government to circumvent the new laws. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
centres. We need big thinkers in government, not the narrow-minded rhetoric and cruel unsustainable and expensive policies advocated and supported by our government. Our taxes could be spent much more wisely and successfully and we should look to the advice of the people who will suggest considered policies to manage this complex issue. Ann Renkin, Shoreham
Health labels a joke It has been a year since the introduction of “health star� food labels and health ratings on packaged food and they are a complete joke and waste of time because they are optional. Virtually no product has them. Most people have never heard of them. I don’t want some government agency telling me what is healthy for this individual. This foolish scheme should be immediately abandoned and replaced with a system that is valid, informative and compulsory. As a diabetic it is critical that I know the percentage of sugar in a food. I will then decide how healthy, or poisonous, that food is. The same goes for fat. All Australians must be made aware of these simple facts, given that we have serious epidemics of diabetes and obesity in this country. People don’t know what they are eating. Such labelling must be compulsory and conspicuous. Like the cancer warnings on cigarette packets. We also must know where the food is made. We have strict food hygiene regulations in this country,�clean and green�, and this is what I want to buy. Some other countries use raw human sewage as crop fertiliser, some have appalling food hygiene standards. Eating E-coli cannot be healthy. The misleading label “Made in Australia (or Belgium, France, USA) from local or imported ingredients� should be made illegal. It means simply local water added or packed here from the cheapest possible ingredients imported from somewhere. There is also the use of GM foods (genetically modified). Surely I have the right to know if the canola margarine I may use is made from this? Will we ever get protective and informative food labelling or is our government putting free trade agreements and food industry profits ahead of the health of Australians? Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
High price to protest The shire’s ill-conceived concrete pathway program for Somers is coming up for a hearing at VCAT this week. But the opponents to this totally over the top proposal by Mornington Peninsula Shire have been hit with a demand for around $9000 to be able to be part of the proceedings at VCAT. This demand was communicated less than a week before the hearing. It seems justice and local government are possibly conspiring to disenfranchise our local population. It seems as if the shire is hell bent
Save the ducks My family members and myself are totally and extremely angry, shocked, horrified, disgusted and appalled beyond words at our the Daniel Andrews government-approved duck shooting season, which is nothing less than a huge massive insult and affront to everyone and everything good, decent, humane and ethical. Please support animal welfare in Australia and contact the premier to totally stop this so-called sport permanently. Sharon Bayer, Frankston
Save the Dolphins The AFL hasn’t trousered any of my hard earned for over 30 years. Having witnessed Sting being paid more than $1 million to perform three songs at this year’s Grand Final while, at the same time, seeing the Frankston Dolphins and their creditors allowed to go to the wall, I won’t be patronising the AFL in any way in the foreseeable future either. Michael Long, Frankston
Peninsula crime wave The latest crime statistics confirm what I have already been hearing from locals and that is that we are in the midst of an increasing crime wave on the Mornington Peninsula. We have seen a 9.4 per cent increase in crime over the past 12 months and the Andrews Labor government still believes that, in defence of its own ideological purity, we deserve to feel unsafe in our own homes. Unfortunately the government has done nothing to resolve this issue which has been building up since it stopped recruiting enough front line police after the 2014 election. Our hinterland areas are particularly vulnerable as the response times are now extending out to the point where criminals can operate with virtual impunity, knowing that they will be out of the area long before the police arrive. I will continue to take these concerns direct to the police minister whose only solution to date is to slash funding for the very successful Neighborhood Watch program, without any plan to actually reduce crime and restore order to our community. Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean
Powerful argument The almost total blackout of South Australia, in part, to unusually strong winds and weather conditions, clearly demonstrated what climate change scientists have been predicting for a long time: more frequent and stronger unseasonable weather conditions. Prime Minister Turnbull showed his colours by jumping in, boots and all, attributing the total blackout as a demonstration of the unreliability of renewable energy. Photographs of the power towers crumpled on the ground, clearly suggest that these towers were not designed to withstand a strong wind. One wonders, was it cost cutting, or design, or lack of understanding of the real effects of
climate change which caused the damage. In Europe the towers are often caked in ice yet they withstand similar or greater winds. With the cutting of research grants to the CSIRO, some of which could have been used to research power from wave action, we lost another source of power which would have provided extra energy when sun or wind fails. The prime minister and other ministers will, I hope, learn from this episode. More thought and professional advice before making such misleading statements would be advisable. Peter Strickland, Balnarring
Not a solo act Cr Hugh Fraser is obviously misinformed when he says I am putting at risk much needed capital investment by the state government and council to revitalise Rye (“Community ignored� Letters 11/10/16). The $588,000 boating safety and facilities grant won’t be lost should the boat/jet ski facilities be made more efficient rather than expanded. These government grants are offered every year and are a very easy-to-get bucket of funds, which the Mornington Peninsula Shire regularly taps into. Cr Fraser mentions these innovative and exciting proposals revitalising Rye. There is nothing innovative or exciting about the foreshore plans that have been presented to date. However, Rye is finally being paid some attention. If Rye received funds to actually do something that was needed or wanted rather than funding allocated for more plans, that would be exciting. Rye’s popularity as a place to live and visit is growing in leaps and bounds. Its common knowledge that the younger set see Rye emerging as the Fitzroy of the south. Planning and development of Rye around the Fitzroy concept and other aspects of Rye’s unique funky character would indeed be innovative. Mechelle Cheers, Rye
Misleading application I believe it is disingenuous of Cr Hugh Fraser to say that I have put at risk much needed capital investment to revitalise Rye, as the $588,000 grant is specifically for the construction of a fourth boat ramp (“Community ignored� Letters 11/10/16). It is questionable whether it is needed as it wasn’t a priority in two of three council reports and the other only did so only after it had dismissed a recommendation in the major report. How will an extra boat ramp revitalise Rye? I have not conveniently overlooked facts. It is precisely because the Boat Ramp Precinct Plan had “in principle approval� that I have attempted to have the decision overturned. It was also because the “input from further consultations� was ignored that I have pursued the matter further. The community and I were misled into believing that our input would be considered, when the decision had already been made. The grant application also misled the state government, as [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon has stated in parliament. I have attended consultations about the draft Rye foreshore master plan, but Cr Fraser is mistaken about my attendance at the Rye Movement and Place public meeting as I was overseas. No one is more passionate about Rye than me, but any changes need to be properly thought through and the community consulted before the release of any plan. David Trunfull, Rye

Message from the Premier This summer is forecast to be a dangerous fire season. Fire Action Week is the time for all Victorians to begin preparing. Many communities throughout Victoria have been battling with persistent rain and rising flood waters. This rainfall has provided the stimulus for increased growth of vegetation in forested, bush and grass fire areas across the state. As summer intensifies, these regions will dry out quickly, increasing the risk of uncontrollable fires, especially over the Christmas and summer holiday period.
stay safe. Leaving early means leaving before a fire starts – not when you can see flames or smell smoke. Leaving early means avoiding panic, being trapped and making the wrong decisions that could be dire.
The steps to take are simple:
Use Fire Action Week to prepare your home and property and think about summer fire safety, especially if you live in bush and grass fire prone areas. Taking the right steps now will help make your decisions in an emergency easier and clearer.
neighbours about what you’ll do on high risk days and have a plan if fire threatens you and your home this summer
The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria
Emergency services are working with communities, businesses, local councils and government to reduce the risk in your area, while ensuring resources are in place to respond to all emergencies. However, it is up to you to understand the risk in your area, monitor conditions and take responsibility for your own safety and the safety of your household.
THE REASONS ARE BLACK AND WHITE.
Fire Action Week The Right Time To Prepare
2. Check Fire Danger Ratings daily
at emergency.vic.gov.au to find out how dangerous a fire would be if one started and monitor warnings, especially when the Fire Danger Rating is Severe, Extreme or Code Red
3. Pack an emergency kit of
essentials – including important documents, a first aid kit, medications, blankets, water and a battery powered radio – and keep it handy Planning and preparing for fire is everyone’s responsibility. Make it yours this week and help keep your family and the community safe this summer. For more information on how to get prepared, go to emergency.vic.gov.au.
Taking steps to get prepared before summer means you know what to do when a fire starts. Talk to your family and friends about how you’ll know when to leave and where to go to
Be Fire Ready.
1. Talk to your household and
1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days. 2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass. 3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home. 4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and well away from branches of mature trees. 5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres. 6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to). 7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

Tune in to ABC local radio, commercial and designated community radio stations or Sky News TV, phone the Victorian Bushfire Information Line (1800 240 667), visit emergency.vic.gov.au, and download the VicEmergency App.
Fire Action Week, 23-30 October, is Victoria’s annual fire planning and preparation week. Right now, forecasts show that there is potential for an above average fire season in Victoria in the west of the state. Fire Action Week is a great time to increase your understanding of the fire risk where you live, prepare your property, and talk to your household about what you’ll do to stay safe from fire.

Warnings are also available on VicEmergency's Twitter (@vicemergency) and Facebook (facebook.com/vicemergency), and CFA’s Twitter (@CFA_Updates) and On hot, dry, windy days, fires will start and spread quickly. The best way to protect yourself and your family is to leave early.
Making informed decisions is vital to your safety during a fire. Now is the best time to understand your fire risk and get prepared, not when a fire starts.
If you live in an urban area near grasslands, walk at least two streets back if a fire starts. If you live two or three streets away from grassland and a grassfire starts, stay where you are. Grassfires are unlikely to spread into built up areas.
This week, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about the fire risk where you live and make plans for what you’ll do on hot, dry, windy days. Make sure you know where to check Fire Danger Ratings (Vic Emergency website and app). Over summer, you’ll need to check the ratings daily to understand the fire risk in your area. Remember, as ratings increase, so does your risk of fire
In the lead-up to summer, CFA and MFB brigades around the state are getting out and about in their community to talk about preparing for fire. You can check cfa.vic.gov.au/ events for information on what’s happening in your local area
Last summer there were over 2,000 warnings issued in Victoria. It’s up to you to stay informed by using more than one source of information, understanding the three levels of warnings, what they mean and what you should do.

Planning and preparation Taking steps to get prepared before the fire season means you know what to do when you’re at risk of fire. It’s important to prepare your property for fire, but you also need to plan and prepare for your safety. • Pack important documents, photos, medications, money and clothes so you can leave easily before a fire starts • Talk to your family and friends about how you’ll know when to leave and where to go to stay safe. Leaving early is the safest option to protect yourself and your family. Leaving early means leaving the area before a fire starts – not when you can see flames or smell smoke. Leaving early means avoiding panic, being trapped, making the wrong choices and risking serious injury or death • Do you have family, friends or neighbours who might need help preparing to leave early? Talk to them about when they’re going to leave, where they’re going to go, and how you can help • Fire Danger Ratings are a good way to decide when to leave. They are not a weather forecast – they tell you how dangerous a fire would be if one started. As the ratings increase, so does the risk of a fast moving and uncontrollable fire. • Never drive if you can see smoke or fire. Thick smoke will make it hard to see and traffic jams and accidents are likely. You also need to keep the roads clear for emergency services • You could be at serious risk of uncontrollable fires on Severe, Extreme and Code Red days. It’s up to you to stay informed. Check the Fire Danger Ratings daily and act to protect yourself and your family • Prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Early action can prevent fires threatening lives and property.
If you see smoke or fire, call Triple Zero (‘000’) immediately. If you see something suspicious, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 • Preparing your property gives it the best chance of survival during a fire, even if you plan to leave early • Keep trees, overhanging branches and shrubs to a minimum near your home, particularly around and under windows. A big clean up before the fire season can make a huge difference to the survival of your home in a bushfire • Embers are one of the most common causes of homes burning down during a bushfire, even if the fire front doesn’t reach the property. Check where leaves and twigs gather around your home as this is where embers are likely to fall. Keep these areas clear all summer • Before you leave, make sure you remove all flammable items from around your home. Houses have been lost from things as simple as embers landing on a doormat • Keep leaf litter, shrubs and any other fuels to a minimum under trees on your property. This will help to stop a fire from reaching the tree tops, which will reduce embers and the fire intensity near your home • Check that your home and contents insurance is current and includes a level of cover that will be in line with current building standards and regulations. Changes in those building standards and regulations mean that replacement homes must be built to better withstand natural disasters which can add to the cost of rebuilding. For information on how to stay safe this summer, visit emergency.vic.gov.au or ring the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667

Wildfire Safety Bunkers Pty Ltd are committed to supplying and installing superior quality, fully engineered, Government accredited, purposebuilt bushfire bunkers. Wildfire bunkers are rated to the highest current Australian Standard (BAL-FZ), Bushfire Attack Level – Flame Zone. Each year in Australia our weather seems to become more unpredictable with higher than average winds and extreme temperatures. Forecasts from the Climate Institute of Australia and the CSIRO predict that Australia will experience an increasing occurrence of WILDFIRE events that threaten life and property. The fire season will start earlier and last longer and will be more intense throughout the season’s length. Residents who live in isolated areas and areas of surrounding bush land are at high risk during the bushfire season and may wish to consider the installation of a bushfire shelter. When situations change and the time to execute your evacuation plan has been cut short, a Wildfire Safety Bunker could be a resident’s last option.
Anthony Tratt, owner and Managing Director of Wildfire Safety Bunkers said, “We have been in the bushfire shelter business for many years now and our products have been welcomed by residents Australia wide. “I believe the reasons our units have become so popular is that they have been extensively tested and accredited by the Government, they can be installed in a short amount of time, they can be landscaped into existing garden beds and embankments, and they are at an affordable price point “. Wildfire has received many awards over the past years, these include two High Commendations from the 2012 and 2016 Resilient Australia Awards and in 2015 the Product Innovation Award from the Bushfire Building Council of Australia. Wildfire have installed units in all areas of the M0rning Peninsula so call Wildfire today on 1800 559 859 for a free no obligation quotation and please visit our website at – www.wildfiresafetybunkers.com.au.

WITH panoramic vistas of Port Phillip Bay all the way to the city skyline, this majestic four-bedroom home, complete with luxury guest apartment, offers inspiring coastal living across four storeys burgeoning with lavish appointments. From the street there is a double garage off the entry foyer where an internal lift is ready to whisk you between the three distinct levels of the home. The deluxe self-contained apartment on the first floor features open-plan living and dining areas opening to one of three large decks, there is a chic kitchen with Smeg appliances, and handsome polished timber floors extend through into the main bedroom.
Complete with a sleek bathroom and a separate laundry, this is an opulent option for extended family. The show stopping main living and dining area on level two is awash with natural light from the large windows that frame the bay view and open to the second viewing deck.

Incorporated into this zone is the beautiful kitchen with stone counter tops and stainless-steel appliances also by Smeg, while a private alfresco patio at the rear of the home offers a more intimate entertaining option when relaxing with friends and family.
The magnificent bedroom level is where the incredible view really takes hold with a seemingly endless outlook across the water. The superb master bedroom showcases a fine walk-in wardrobe, and a dazzling ensuite has a corner spa bath. Two more established bedrooms also have access to the viewing deck and share the divine family bathroom with wet-room shower, and at the top of the staircase is a handy extra living space with a separate study a useful fourth bedroom if required.

A crusade against the body blues Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au IT is a stark statistic; 91 per cent of all women hate their bodies. That was the finding of Taryn Brumfitt who interviewed more than 5000 women on the subject while making her landmark film on body image, Embrace. The statistic was no surprise to one Mount Martha mother, Yasmin Chandler, who has suffered from a lifelong negative body image, and is only now breaking free from its effects. “It has taken up far too much of my life,” Yasmin said. “If I am raw about this, if I put myself out there, maybe other people will benefit from my honesty.” Yasmin’s journey to body acceptance has been a long one. But there is no doubting where it started. “I was an early developer. By the age of eleven, I had a womanly body. I found myself being teased at school, and it was a issue that consumed too much of my thoughts.” After Yasmin left school she spent most of her work life in very competitive and male-dominated industries. Firstly in car sales, and later in horse racing. “I was very obsessed with making money, with being successful. But deep down, I wasn’t feeling fulfilled in life.” After leaving the car industry, Yasmin worked with her husband in his horse training business. “I became 100 per cent focused on the success of my husband. “I began to forget about my own success in life.”
Things changed dramatically nearly three years ago when Yasmin’s marriage fell apart. “I literally took a year off from life to sort it out,” Yasmin said. “I realised that I had been pursuing someone else’s goals. Not only that, I had spent my entire adult life thinking about performing and achieving goals, making money mostly! “Now I was lost. I was totally shattered and, I must admit, I had become someone I just didn’t like anymore.” Yasmin, now a single mum with two young children, made the decision to go back to basics. “To change my mindset, that money and success was not the answer, but passion, desire and a absolutely love for what you do is what make you soul tick. “That void quickly disappeared when I followed my heart’s desire in my career choice and no longer valued myself on what I could earn.” Yasmin’s business, Mojo Makeovers, was born. “I am sure many women are just like me. When we have our mojo, we feel invincible, life follows in harmony. We let go of insecurities and walk with confidence. I decided to dedicate my time to helping women get their mojo back! “Mojo Makeovers is a tranquil, peaceful, discrete environment for women to completely let go, be one with themselves and escape from the outside world.” Services include Venus Viva skin rejuvenation, facials, essential oils, nutrition products, Jane Iredale makeup, and the Environ skin care range. “My mission is for women to look
in the mirror and fall back in love with their skin.” Yasmin also founded ‘The Listening Lounge’ – a confidential, nonjudgemental and safe place where women can air worries, thoughts or challenges. “After seeing Embrace, I realised I had to bring it to Mornington to help other women who, like me, have been obsessed with body image issues,” said Yasmin. “I was amazed to discover that 10% of young women suffer from eating disorders and more than 50% of 5-12 year olds want to lose weight. “I feel like this is a journey I have to go on for the good of my daughters. I don’t want them wasting their time worrying and obsessing like I did”. After some determined effort, Yasmin arranged for the movie to be screened at Mornington Cinemas on 28 October, which quickly sold out. “I have managed to get approval for another screening on 18 November at 7pm. Tickets are flying out the door already, so get in quickly if you’d like to come along!” said Yasmin. Yasmin is now happy and healthy. She has moved on from her separation and maintains a great relationship with the father of her daughters. “I have found my inner peace. Now I want to share it around.” Mojo Makeovers is based in Mount Martha. To find out more about Yasmin’s business, see mojomakeovers. com.au. To book to see Embrace on 18 November call 0418 144 427.
Respect yourself: Yasmin Chandler is on a mission to help women get their mojo back and embrace who they are. Picture: Cameron McCullough

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
W. L. Gregory writes to his parents from the front Compiled by Cameron McCullough The following letter has been received from W. L. Gregory by his parents: Just a line to tell you I am getting on as good as gold since I got smacked. I dare say you have got my card by this from the Convalescent Camp at Boulogne. I told you I would give you a description of what it was like when I wrote. To sum the whole thing up it was just like hell let loose. Anyone that reads about it at home cannot imagine what it was like. One division of Australians went in (I cannot name the division as it would only get crossed out) and they had to take Posieres. They had as hard a fight as anything on the line. We saw them come out and I can tell you it made our chaps think a bit. Another division (Australian) was sent in to relieve them and we had to relieve this division. We knew that things were going very hard with them but our chaps stuck to it and were as lively as crickets when they were going in. We sent one Battalion to the front but they had to retire back, the fire was that hot. They got up later at night and relieved the men that were in after the terrific bombardment. The next morning that division had to be sent out for re-organization as they had lost heavily. Our battalion went up the same night and two companies faced the bombardment and got through and relieved the men in the firing line and supports. Then one of the pluckiest things happened for the time we were in the trenches. Some of the battalion that was sent
out for re organization got surrounded by about fifty Germans. The Germans had taken them prisoners and were getting back to their lines when Lieut Jacka V. C. hopped over the trench and called to two platoons to follow him. They went out and captured all the Germans and got our own boys back. It was a great piece of work, considering the fire they had to go through. That night we moved up into the reserves and the following afternoon into the firing line. They were shelling us with shrapnel the whole way up. I do not think we had a casualty going up. We had no sooner got in than Fritz started bombarding. You talk about shells coming over, they were falling like peas, the shelling was that heavy. What put heart into our boys more than anything was the fire that our Artillery was sending back to Fritz. We were getting it bad enough, but I would not have lived in Fritz’s trenches for all the money in the world. I think for every shell he threw over our Artillery threw five or six. They were going that fast you could hear an incessant humming as they were going over. It used to be just the thing to hear the big 9in and 14in shells going over our heads during the day towards Fritz’s lines. The Tommy artillery used to fire them from about six miles back. Every time we heard one you should have heard the boys cheering it. In the front line we had no trench at all. We had to take up our positions in big shell holes and build it up with sandbags. You would get up against the parapet wondering where the next shell
was going to drop. It was only a matter of going in and waiting your turn to get knocked, and of course, if you were lucky you would come out alright. In one of the machine gun bays (position where the men and guns are) I saw one section levelled to one man. They were all killed or wounded, but he stuck there waiting to see if an attack was going to be made by Fritz, until he was relieved by another section. All the night through we had to keep observing to see if there was going to be a counter attack by Fritz. If he had come he would have got a pretty warm reception I can tell you. The boys were worked up to a nice pitch waiting, We were all glad when dawn came. I think it was more to see what damage had been done. The following afternoon our company was relieved and we went back into the supports, thinking we were going to have a rest, but Fritz started up a very heavy bombardment and gave us a pretty rough time. The trenches were levelled to the ground in places by the shells. There were numerous cases where chaps had to dig their mates out during the night while the shelling was at its heaviest, they having been buried in the trench. That night our company lost thirty wounded, and 4 killed. Up till now I have only told you about our losses. Well, they are slight to what the Germans are losing. They brought up their 48th and 168th reserve regiments to have a go at us but they lost very heavily. I was talking to an A.M.C. orderly and he said our killed were very slight
compared with the wounded. A great number of our men were wounded slightly with shrapnel. Of course these count as casualties. Everywhere you look you can see dead Germans lying. We hadn’t the time to bury them. Well, to get on then with the story. Our company was being relieved that night, after 48 hours in the trenches. In the morning I lost one of my best mates in Joe Bickley from Hastings. He and I had been together right from the the start. He got badly but not seriously wounded. He and I had our dugouts with about a foot of earth separating us. During the night two other chaps got shelled out of their dugouts and came to Joe and I. One got with him and the other with me About five in the morning a shrapnel shell burst and a piece or two flew back and got Joe and the chap who was with him. It hit them both through the leg about the thigh. Both had their legs shattered. The chap who was with me got a big piece through the shoulder and I never got a scratch. Just before this a big piece bigger than a hen egg hit me on the back but glanced off doing no damage. I had the three of them to look after on my own for about three hours, the stretcher-bearers being occupied elsewhere. Vince Callanan form Balnarring was with us and was marked as missing but I have found out since that he was sent down to the dressing station with shell shock. He will be alright by now. That night I got my crack as we were being relieved. We had got well behind
our support trenches when Fritz started putting shrapnel into us. One came right at us and of course we all bobbed, (one bobs naturally after they have been there a while when they hear a shell coming) but did not get low enough. One piece killed one poor chap just behind me, another took the rear portion of another chap off, and the third piece got me in the head. It hit my rifle and smashed it, then went through my helmet and stopped at my skull. The doctor told me that I am one of the luckiest chaps at the present moment. They sent me to Boulogne to the 13th General Hospital (English). From there I was transferred to the 1st Convalescent Camp after having a few days treatment and rest. I asked the doctor to put me out of there and let me get back to the Battalion. It didn’t seem to suit me although it is a beautiful little camp. I get dissatisfied being on my own. I am now at the Base waiting to get back to the Battalion. The wound has not quite healed yet. You will have to hand this around if any one wants any news as I have said everything. I hope to get back soon to have another go. I do not think I can tell you any more as I am just blown out for news. I hope to see Fred any day now, as I hear his division is somewhere kicking round. I have not seen a letter from you all for at least ten weeks. Well I will have to close; hoping you are in the best of health with best love from your loving son. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 October, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Frightening the daylight savings out of me By Stuart McCullough THANK goodness that’s over. Goodbye to my least favourite night of the year and the dreadful week that inevitably follows in its wake. Farewell for another twelve months when it will, once more, lob upon the doorstep like a marooned but distantly related backpacker determined to move in and devour the contents of the refrigerator wholesale. But for now I must suffer through the consequences of its most unwelcome arrival. Truth be told, I’m tired, grumpy and for this entire week have felt as though I’m running late. Thanks for nothing, daylight savings. Once upon a time, daylight savings was shorter. In fact, it used to start in the last weekend of October. But like some deadly virus, it has slowly spread and now occupies half the year. That means that for a whole six months, we’re running on summertime. Summer, however, is just as long as it always was. I don’t recall anyone voting to expand daylight savings. It’s one of those things that just seems to have happened when we were putting the bins out or looking the other way. Perhaps it’s climate change. As the earth’s temperature increases, maybe summer and (therefore) summertime, has increased along with it. Doubtless, the Paris accord contains a sub-clause somewhere up the back that reinforces the need to curb emissions and halt the increase in global temperatures in order to contain the spread of daylight savings. Sometimes, looming disasters are described by the number of minutes until midnight. This method, of course, becomes wholly redundant

when you have to wind the clock forward an hour. Folks, we are in serious trouble. I truly resent the start of daylight savings. Every hour I have is precious, especially those in the middle
Western Port News 25 October 2016
of the night because that’s when I do all my best sleeping. If they dropped an hour between four and five o’clock on a Monday afternoon, I probably wouldn’t mind so much. But to be robbed of a whole hour over the
weekend is patently unfair. It’s nothing short of burglary. The effect was exacerbated by the fact that I was unaware that it was due to start as early in October as it was. I felt as though the whole catastrophic experience snuck up on me whilst my back was turned. I was, it seems, completely unprepared. I mean, where does that missing hour go? Not just mine, but yours too. Just imagine all the things you could have achieved this week with another sixty minutes in your back pocket. You could have finished that book you’ve been reading, gone for a long walk or cooked a meal. Instead, you’ve been way, way, way too busy because some unelected time bandit stole an hour that rightly belongs to you. They have some nerve. When daylight savings kicks off, the first thing I feel is tired. Then I spend the rest of the entire week that follows trying to get over the fact that I feel tired. And it’s not just me that’s suffering. The dog is confused. The curtains are fading and the cow that I’m currently renting the back room to is confused-as-all-get-out in terms of when to rock up for milking. It’s an incredibly unsatisfactory state of affairs. I can’t begin to think how Flava Flav copes with these kind of shenanigans. I think it’s time we reconsidered the whole idea of moving the clock hand around as though it were some kind of plaything. Time should march to its own beat. It ought to be sacrosanct. This madness must stop. If we don’t act now, daylight savings will continue its ceaseless march and take over the entire year. Soon, there’ll be no more regular time. Normal time will cease
to matter at all and, instead, we’ll always be an hour ahead of where we should be. My fear is that taking over the whole year won’t be enough for those daylight savings extremists who believe we’re all better off from the exercise inherent in winding the clock forward. Having successfully moved the clocks forward by an hour, there’s now a risk that they’ll seek to claim yet another hour, leaving us a full one hundred and twenty minutes adrift from reality. Before we know it, time will be meaningless. I appreciate that Queensland has long recognized that daylight savings is dangerous. They have continued to hold out against the advancing tide of summertime, perhaps sensing that it was the thin end of the wedge. I plan to move there. I will seek refuge in the sunshine state to pursue a life free from the tyranny of daylight savings. Only in Queensland will I able to keep the hour that rightfully belongs to me. There are some practical impediments, though. Upping sticks and moving north is far easier said than done. There’s another way. Instead of moving, perhaps this is a problem that should be faced head on. It’s time to take a stand. Or, at least, it would be time to take a stand if some oxygen thief hadn’t wound the clock forward. As of this moment, I will be boycotting daylight savings. If you and I are due to meet, you might wish to take this into account, lest you should end up twiddling your thumbs for an hour. Time, I feel, is on my side. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Getting ready to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Count Us Inâ&#x20AC;? By Melissa McCullough MUSIC: Count Us In is Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest schools initiative, where students across the country sing the same song, on the same day, at the same time. Encouraging young people to become passionate about music and music education, 2016 marks the 10th year of Music: Count Us In and the invitation is out for all Australian schools to get involved. Schools have register now, learn this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s song and join more than half a million kids for Celebration Day on Thursday November 3rd. What is Music: Count Us In? Working directly with schools and teachers, Music: Count Us In exists to assist teachers in providing quality music education and to address the gap in specialist music education provision in many Australian schools. The program is both a participation program and an advocacy program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; raising the profile of music education on the national stage, and providing hundreds of thousands of students with practical music learning. Spurred on by a 2007 National School Music Review which pointed to glaring inadequacies in music education in schools, the report included a recommendation to raise the status
of music in schools. Music: Count Us In was the response. Its purpose â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to energise and engage teachers, principals, school communities, and families, and to provide quality music participation opportunities, available to all. The program has far exceeded expectations, extending into all states and territories, and connecting with schools of every shape and size. It is freely available to every student in the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and beyond. Commendably it has also been consistently supported by both sides of politics, in a bipartisan show of federal support for school music, which extends through until at least 2018. Actor and singer Jay Lagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aia of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Play Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fame joins Music: Count Us In 2016 as program mentor, commenting: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to seeing how people interpret the song. This is very much a story that you send to different communities and they come back with their versions of the story. To get together on that special Celebration Day and for everyone to sing it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be very exciting!â&#x20AC;? Registration is still open. Register for free at www.musicaustralia.org. au
JAY chatted to the kids from St. Macartanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish Primary school in Mornington about Music Count Us In: Lucy (pictured): Every year at our school we get together in the hall for Music Count Us In and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to it this year. Pearl: How long did it take to make, (organise), Music Count Us In 2016? Jay: Music Australia works on each yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Music Count Us In across the whole year, taking time to organise the students picked to help write and record the song and then to share it across the country with everyone. Ava: How many Music Count Us In songs have there been? Jay: There have been 10 songs in total. This year is Music Count Us Inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 Year Anniversary Judd: Why is the Music Count Us In program so important? Jay: Designed to encourage young people to become passionate about music and music education, the program is both a participation program and an advocacy program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; raising the profile of music education on the national stage, and providing hundreds of thousands of students with practical music learning.

Rain plays havoc By IT Gully RAIN was the only winner in MPCA cricket on Saturday. There was some cricket played throughout the competition and there were some results, however most games ended in draws. Provincial In Provincial cricket, all matches ended in draws despite a few overs being bowled throughout the afternoon. Langwarrin got out in the middle against Baxter, chasing down 256 for victory. Play was ended with the home side 4/93, Simon McEvoy top scoring for the Kangas with 42. Dale Irving picked up a couple of wickets for Baxter while Chris Brittain and Justin Bridgeman snagged one each. The only other play in Provincial cricket was at Alexandra Park. Chasing 193 for victory, Pines resumed in some real trouble at 3/8. Harley Peace-Stirling offered some resistance when play resumed and score 33. Stumps were finally drawn though with the Piners 6/63 off 28.5 overs. Leigh Lambert was superb with the ball for Mornington with 3/23 off eight overs, while Adrian Dale picked up 2/6 off 4.5 overs and Matt Foon jagged 1/8 off eight overs. In other results, Mt Eliza (9/235)
drew with Crib Point, Sorrento (8/270) drew with Somerville, Long Island (156) drew with Pearcedale (0/17) and Peninsula Old Boys (0/71) drew with Moorooduc (139). District There was no play in District cricket, although there were to two results on the first day of play. Red Hill picked up the valuable 12 points against Rye after beating them on first innings last week. The Demons were bowled out for 32 and 61 on the opening day while Red Hill blasted a quick fire 7/185 before declaring. Glen Collett was at his best for the Hillmen with 5/16 from 11 overs while Simon Dart claimed 5/13 from 7.4 overs. Felix McKillop top scored with 76 and Brent Martin hit 46 for the Hillmen. Collett picked up 2/12 in the second innings and Lincoln Toy claimed 2/6. Mt Martha also got the chocolates against Boneo. The Pandas were sent in by the home side on the first day and were bowled out for just 44 in 31.3 overs - ‘extras’ was the highest score with nine. Rhys Whitling was the pick of the Reds’ bowlers with 5/11 from eight overs while Kyle Bendle helped himself to 3/11 of 6.3 overs. In reply, the Reds declared at 8/140,
chasing quick runs. Mitch Darville top scored for the home side with 45 while Sean Spencer and Leigh Janssen picked up 4/45 and 4/33 respectively for Boneo with the ball. At stumps, Boneo was 2/41 in its second innings, still 55 runs behind. There was no play on day two. In other results, Baden Powell (217) drew with Seaford (0/40), Main Ridge and Rosebud drew without any play, Heatherhill (2/91) drew with Seaford Tigers (175) and Flinders (9/229) drew with Delacombe Park. Sub District Ballam Park picked up a valuable 12 points in Sub District cricket, the only team to get a result in the grade. Skye batted first and was bowled out for 67 on the first day while Ballam Park responded with 5/175 before declaring. Aaron Barrett scored 35 and Dave Roach 43 while skipper Stuart Plunkett top scored with 55 to go with his 6/30 with the ball. Skye batted for 39 overs in the second innings and was in real trouble at 6/63 before rain got hold of the match. In other matches Carrum (200) drew with Dromana, Carrum Downs (2/57) drew with Balnarring (218), Hastings (164) escaped with a draw against Tootgarook (3/120) and Frankston YCW (2/6) drew with Tyabb (181).
The great escape: Pines held off defeat and were 6/63 at stumps. Picture: Rab Siddhi
