Firebug alert Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au DETECTIVES are searching for a firebug after last week’s series of fires at Crib Point on Monday afternoon.

They have spoken to two men, although no charges have been laid.

The alarm for the first fire was sounded about 1.30pm – nearly the same time and place of a fire one week earlier.

Embers from that fire on The Esplanade have been blamed for starting the more devastating fire which destroyed one house and six outbuildings.

“Police are investigating the Crib Point fire as an arson attack,” Mornington Peninsula Southern Metro Region Inspector Karen Nyholm said Friday afternoon.

“This is an insidious crime that has an incredible impact on a community – putting fear and terror into people. We will do everything we can to identify

and charge the person or people responsible.”

Inspector Nyholm urged people to “come forward with any suspicious activity they have witnessed, or any concerning behaviour they are aware of”.

On Friday afternoon Inspector Nyholm, CFA District 8 operations officer Arthur Haynes, Cr David Garnock and Parks Victoria officers attended a “Bushfire and arson awareness roadshow” at Hastings CFA organised by Crime Stoppers.

Inspector Nyholm said Operation Firesetter would see police keeping a close watch on “bushfire arson prone areas” and monitoring a list of suspected firebugs.

Detective Sergeant John Coburn, of Somerville police complex, said police were “chipping away” at tracking down those responsible for the three fires at Crib Point.

“We believe the first one [Monday last week] was deliberate and we suspect that fire caused the big one,”

That second blaze, as well destroying the house and outbuildings, burnt through 83 hectares of bush and grassland on a 200 metre fire front, bringing fear and anxiety to residents.

An emergency warning issued at 4pm advising residents of Crib Point, HMAS Cerberus and Stony Point that it was “Too late to leave” and to activate fire plans came just minutes after a “No immediate threat” which had already seen many residents evacuate the town.

Creek gas levels raise health fears Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au HYDROGEN sulphide gas levels in Merricks Creek are being monitored daily to avoid danger to campers and beachgoers.

Melbourne Water gave the monitoring equipment to the camping ground to measure the gas levels – which cause a strong odour – but, so far, the results are “well below levels that would trigger a response”.

The move comes as Balnarring Beach Community Association president David Gill warns that “dangerous hydrogen sulphide and methane gases from Merrick’s creek are being monitored daily and closure of our camping reserves is a possibility.

“However authorities have not, to our knowledge, warned local residents of the danger,” he said.

Melbourne Water Regional Services (South East) manager John Woodland says he is “working closely with Lord Somers camp ground management to monitor levels of the naturally occurring hydrogen sulphide gas to ensure that it does not pose a risk to the health of campground users”.

Also investigating is the Merricks Creek Working Party – a group consisting of Melbourne Water, Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning (DELWP), Mornington Peninsula Shire, Southern Rural Water and community groups.

If hydrogen sulphide levels exceed trigger levels, Melbourne Water said Mornington Peninsula shire “would ensure that the responses outlined in the environmental management plant for the foreshore reserve are implemented by the relevant agencies”.

The shire’s acting manager, renewable resources, Jess Wingad, said Melbourne Water had built a sand groyne in November

to mimic the natural closing of the estuary during summer [to] prevent any more seagrass from entering the estuary.

“Melbourne Water, the Merricks Creek Working Group and Mornington Peninsula Shire are liaising closely with the Merricks Estuary Watch group and the community to monitor the site to gauge how the estuary responds to the mouth closure,” she said.

“The temporary closure is part of a longer-term strategy to reduce the odour that has been present in the region for several years.

“It aims to reduce the seagrass accumulation in the creek in the short term so that works can be completed to the creek mouth to improve the natural hydrology of the estuary.

“Odour levels have been well below any

trigger levels or health indicators.”

Melbourne Water says there are no plans to close the campground. It said there is no methane gas present in that area.

Questions about the estuary, odour, or the working group, can be put to Melbourne Water’s Customer Service Centre on 131 722. The mailing list email is merricks@melbournewater.com.au.

Arrests over caravan blaze TWO men have been arrested and are expected to be charged on summons with arson after setting fire to a caravan on Arthur’s Seat Rd, Arthurs Seat, 10.40pm, Tuesday.

The 46-year-old, from Seaford, and 25-yearold, from Frankston, allegedly torched the single axle van, with flames spreading to nearby bushland.

Rosebud CFA crews managed to limit the extent of the fire – their job being made easier by damp conditions and lack of wind.

Arthur’s Seat Rd was blocked off as a precaution against falling braches until mid-morning Wednesday.

Detective Sergeant John Coburn, of Somerville police complex, said police were keen to talk to the driver of a BMW who warned road users about the danger about 11pm.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000, Detective Coburn, 5978 1300 or Rosebud police, 5986 0444.

Pageantry takes its place at art opening Blaze stopped: Fire crews acted quickly to extinguish a fire on a Main Creek Rd, Main Ridge, property a week ago last Saturday. Picture: Yanni

TIARAS, sashes and beaming smiles added a bit of pageantry to the opening night of this year’s The News Mornington Art Show.

The presence of Miss Western Port, Mikaela Fowler, left, and Miss Australia International, Jessica Martini, added to the night’s main attractions: more than 800 works of art.

Profits from the night and art sales go towards

projects undertaken by art show organiser, Mornington Rotary Club.

The club has run the show for 44 years, raising nearly $1 million, $650,000 of which has been spent on community projects within Mornington (from pre-schools, special development centres, scholarships and leadership programs, the lifesaving club, and scouts to the Main St

clock tower and gazebos). The rest of the money has gone to International Rotary projects such as eradicating polio, tsunami relief, and help for bushfire and flood affected communities.

The News Mornington Art Show is at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington, until Australia Day, Tuesday 26 January.

Frustration with late trains boils over Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au COMMUTERS travelling on the Frankston line faced frustrating service cancellations and delays during the early morning weekday peak hours of 7-9am last week.

Several scheduled train services were cancelled at short notice and customers were quick to vent their anger at delays on social media.

Metro Trains spokeswoman Sammie Black said an incident involving a person being struck by a train late on Monday afternoon “had a knock on effect” throughout the week.

“We understand it inconveniences customers and our aim is to ensure everyone gets to their destination while delaying the smallest number possible,” Ms Black said.

Delays on the Frankston line came in the same week Metro Trains was forced to ban V/Line trains from running on metropolitan and suburban tracks after a VLocity train, V/Line’s newest model, failed to trigger boom gates as it approached a Dandenong level crossing.

That boom gates failure follows several such incidents on the Stony Point line last year. Metro Trains installed axle counters along the line to trigger boom gates in all cases where trains approach level crossing intersections.

Wear and tear on V/Line trains’ wheels, since they travel greater distances than their metro counterparts,

are being blamed for failure to trigger boom gates.

Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said axle counters will now be installed at 29 level crossings across Melbourne’s railway network at a cost of $23 million.

Public Transport Victoria advised The News that the Stony Point line axle counters cost $5.8 million to install last year. Metro confirmed there have been no boom gate incidents since July when the axle counters were installed.

The premier Daniel Andrews blamed V/Line for the cancellation of train services across the network last week citing a “failure to adequately prepare for increased regional services – including a failure to plan for additional trackgreasing – which has led to an escalated rate of wearing on the wheels of VLocity carriages”.

“This lack of preparation has led to the cancellation of train services across the network – an unacceptable and avoidable situation that has frustrated thousands of regional commuters,” Mr Andrews said in a statement last Wednesday.

He said all travel on V/Line services will be free until Sunday 31 January “as a small acknowledgement of the frustration recent service disruptions have caused”.

The Labor state government has pledged to remove 50 level crossings, including the separation of road and rail at 11 crossings along the Frankston line.

Ground of honour: Leanne Gomm and funeral director Ted Bull lead the funeral procession for her husband Murray Gomm through a guard of honour at Somerville Football Oval on Monday. Picture: Gary Sissons

Honour guard pops farewell toast A GUARD of honour was the focus of hundreds of mourners for businessman Murray Gomm at Somerville Football Oval, Monday.

The cortege did a lap of the oval – with the 40-strong guard popping cans of beer to toast the man whose family built the Somerville hotel and ran it for many years.

Ted Bull, of Ted Bull Funerals, said Mr Gomm oversaw the hotel’s smorgasbord which was “the best meal in town with queues out the door”.

Mr Gomm, 60, had been in good health until being diagnosed with colorectal cancer in December 2014.

Wife of 30 years, Leanne, said her husband was “born and bred” in Hast-

ings and Somerville and had the area’s history flowing through his veins: he was reportedly the great-grandson of the first white woman born in Somerville.

“We met at the hotel all those years ago and our families were friends,” she said. “He was a lovely husband.”

Mr Gomm – as did his pioneer family – lived his whole life in the district, following in his father’s footsteps in running the hotel, and later breeding racehorses at Orkney Farm, corner Eramosa and Coolart roads.

He was president of the Somerville Football Club and a committee member of the Somerville Cricket Club, and regarded as fine player, official and all-round tireless worker for

the club since 1967. An extract from genealogy website Familytreecircles said Mr Gomm was “merely following a family tradition” in supporting the club. In April 2010 it quipped: “The Gomm family has had a constant presence at the Somerville Football Club since the club was born in the 1890s, with Murray's father, grandfather and countless other family members heavily influential in the club's development.

“Congratulations Murray on being named this week’s Bendigo Bank Local Footy Hero.”

Mr Gomm leaves a daughter by a previous marriage, Belinda, 39, and a son, Riley, 18.

Bridge works for overseas aid Western Port

THE Balnarring branch of the Red Cross has raised more than $45,000 over the past two years for a range of international causes.

Its latest fundraising activity – a bridge day and lunch at Flinders Golf Club – attracted 112 participants and raised more than $3300.

“Without the dedication of our members who cooked, cleaned up, sold raffle tickets,

moved furniture and performed scores of other tasks we would not have had such a successful day,” branch president Jill Duboudin said.

Causes helped by the Balnarring branch over the past two years include Syrian refugees, the Ebola crisis, Red Cross Calling, Philippines disaster relief, Australian Community Aid, Nepal earthquake and Hurricane Haiyan.

On the cards: Guests of Balnarring Red Cross playing bridge at Flinders Golf Club.

Dog gone! Emergency crews called to save would-be rescuer stuck on cliff A WOMAN stuck on a cliff at the former Moorooduc quarry, Mt Eliza Regional Park, Tuesday morning, may be lucky to escape a fine for breaching “No dogs allowed” signs.

A sign clearly displayed near the fall site states: “Environmentally sensitive area: No dogs, no bikes – penalties apply”.

The woman and her German shorthaired pointer, Mailey, had to be winched to safety after slipping 15 metres down the quarry face about 10am.

They were on a ledge for about 90 minutes.

A friend alerted rescue crews who assembled up top and prepared to bring her back to the top. They included CFA crews from Mt Eliza, Dandenong and Frankston and Frankston SES. A high-angle rescue team from Dandenong and CFA specialist rescue crews pulled the dog up first using a K9 harness, which goes over the head to prevent biting, and then the woman, aged in her mid-20s.

“Our crew arrived shortly after 10am to find a woman in her 20s trapped and inaccessible,” Brodie White of Mt Eliza CFA said.

“She appeared to have gone to the aid of her dog after it jumped a fence and became stuck on steep terrain.”

Mr White said a portable radio was sent down to the women so she could communicate with her rescuers.

The rescue was completed at 11.30am and the woman was given the all clear by paramedics.

“It was mild for Gunnamatta but what we call mild is based on our experiences of the conditions we can get here.”

Club president Greg Goulet said the rips on Sunday were “fairly strong”.

“Someone not familiar with Gunnamatta, especially if they are not a strong swimmer, would find the conditions way out of their depth,” he said.

About 120 swimmers were at the beach.

Mr Murphy said lifesavers had performed 27 rescues at Gunnamatta this summer and “a couple of thousand preventative measures”.

Surf Life Saving Australia describes Gunnamatta beach as “extremely hazardous” due to its high waves and strong rips, with lifesavers performing an average of 113 rescues each year – the second highest in the state.

A MAN, 27, drowned at Gunnamatta beach, Sunday, while swimming with friends about 500 metres west of the area patrolled by lifesavers.

The Taiwanese national, of Box Hill, got into trouble after being caught in a rip and pulled off a sandbank at 1.20pm.

His two friends alerted lifesavers, who ran back along the beach. One swam out to the boy and brought him ashore.

The lifesavers performed CPR until Ambulance Victoria crews arrived to take over, but he could not be revived and died at the scene.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

Gunnamatta club captain Patrick Murphy described conditions as “moderate”, with a one metre swells, a stiff south-westerly wind, and many rips.

Apprentice looks forward despite setbacks MORNINGTON’S Mikaela Lawrence has her sights set on joining the top ranks of race-winning jockeys.

Already working for Morningtonbased trainer Sam Pritchard-Gordon (P-G Racing), Lawrence has now joined Racing Victoria’s apprentice jockey training program.

“Mikaela, 21, is the oldest of four students selected for the program’s first year class, and has fought hard to earn her position in the high performance program, having not come from a horsey background,” Racing Victoria’s media and communications officer Daniel Miles said.

In announcing Lawrence’s induction into the elite jockey training program, the P-G Racing website described the 49 kilogram apprentice as “a great example of someone breaking in to a very tough industry from a non-racing background”.

Lawrence began her racing career as a stable hand to Peter Moody and was soon promoted to riding track work.

But in August 2014 she broke her back, only returning to the saddle about a year ago at P-G Racing’s Kingscote Stables.

Since her return Lawrence has ridden some of the stable’s gallops and a few jump outs, including a win at Balnarring.

Lawrence was one of seven apprentice jockeys hopeful of beginning their journey to Group 1 glory inducted into this year’s jockey training program.

She is the oldest of four riders selected to join the first-year apprentice class, with three other jockeys joining the third and fourth year classes after starting their riding careers interstate.

Gurus to speak BUSINESS owners are being encouraged to listen to the views of “peninsula business gurus” Jonathan Reichwald and Tania Treasure while breakfasting at Mornington Golf Club.

The meal with speakers is the first event for the year being held by Peninsula Business Networking.

Mr Reichwald is economic development coordinator at Frankston Council and Ms Treasure economic development and tourism manager for Mornington Peninsula Shire.

They will outline “local business support initiatives” planned this year by their respective councils.

The 7-8.30am networking breakfast is at Mornington Golf Club, Tallis Drive, Mornington, Tuesday 2 February. Cost: $20 members, $35 non-members. Details: Melinda Ryan 0409 101 822 or www.peninsulabusinessnetwork.org.au

Lawrence joins Jackie Elliot, Emily Azzopardi and Liam Riordan in the first year apprentice class.

Athlete development and industry careers advisor Melissa Weatherley said the apprentices would receive “extensive coaching to develop the skills, relationships and experience necessary to succeed at the highest level”.

“These young riders will not only hone their race riding skills, learn how to live, eat and train as elite sports people, but will also be equipped with the requisite support to develop a successful career once they decide to retire from professional riding,” Weatherley said.

Twenty three of the program’s 50 apprentices are women, continuing a trend of increased participation over the past three years since a record intake of female apprentices in 2014.

Weatherley said the select group underwent a stringent talent identification process to gain entry into the fouryear high performance program which offers specialist learning in areas such as race riding, performance analysis, sports science and sports medicine, as well as media, finance and business skills.

The aspiring jockeys will be coached by retired jockey Matthew Pumpa, former Victorian trainer Matthew Hyland and jockey wellbeing and safety officer, Ron Hall.

Jobs to go as Masters signals the end ABOUT 200 jobs will be lost in Mornington and Carrum Downs with closure of the Masters “home improvement” stores.

The demise of the Woolworths-owned Masters chain comes as no surprise, considering its much-publicised failure to gain market share.

Each store employs about 100 staff full-time, part-time and casual.

A Woolworth’s media team on Tuesday said the Masters stores would “remain open as normal for some months to come”.

“What we’ve announced is we intend to exit the business. How we exit, which will either be through the sale process or a wind-up process, has yet to be decided

Happy Birthday!

To celebrate, we are offering FREE Hearing Test and 30 day Free Trial.

and an outcome on this is some time away.

“If Woolworths is unable to sell all of the business and has to close any of its operations, we will seek to provide alternate employment opportunities within the Woolworths Group to all current [Masters] employees.”

Preferably, the stores would be sold as going concerns – or perhaps taken over by supermarket giants Costco or the German-owned Lidl – and remain employers of local staff.

Lidl, rated the fourth-largest retailer in the world, with $128 billion in annual sales, has reportedly been in discussions with logistics providers and has applied for a wide range of home brand trademarks for a presence in Australia.

THE public is being invited to Point Nepean National Park to inspect and comment on plans for the park’s Quarantine Station precinct.

The latest move by Parks Victoria follows the November 2015 election of a Labor state government which knocked back commercial developments accepted by the previous Liberal-led coalition government.

The government and Parks Victoria is using a 2010 master plan as a base for future development and use of the Quarantine Station area.

Public information sessions will be held 10am-3pm in Badcoe Hall at the park Friday 5 February and Saturday 6 February.

Environment, Climate Change and Water Lisa Neville says the discussion paper is a precursor to a master plan being finalised in late this year.

“We want a plan in place that reflects current policy, community views, and future options for the site that both the government and the community agree upon,” Ms Neville said.

A news release issued by Ms Neville on Monday said Point Nepean “has a long and rich history, spanning Aboriginal occupation, its role as an important Australian military and defence facility, and most recently, as a national park”. “Protecting this significant heritage to ensure this rich history is conserved for future generations is of primary importance.”

The discussion paper and options for input can be found at www.parks. vic.gov.au/pointnepeanplan

CRIB POINT FIRES

Ruins reveal

Hunt for firebug Continued from Page 1 CFA District 8 operations officer Arthur Haynes, who issued the emergency alert to residents to stay home rather than flee, said staying was the safer option.

“When we say stay at home that means there is no time left: trying to get out would scare people and possibly create panic,” he said on Friday.

“We made the right call.”

Thirty fire trucks and 130 firefighters brought the blaze under control by 11.30pm. An Ericson air crane and two helicopters fought the fire.

Mr Haynes said he was “still dumbfounded” by the speed of the fire as it made its way south – and then did an about-face with the south-westerly wind change.

“It was a classic example of how a wind change can alter circumstances,” he said.

“We had a lot of resources at the southern end to stop the fire and then the wind changed and it went back and sideways to the north east. It was a typical peninsula fire: small and fastmoving.”

Hastings CFA captain Jim Atkinson said good training allowed his crews to work well together fighting the blaze. “We had 40 firefighters from here and three vehicles who worked all night and the following day.”

Detective Coburn said that, in a possibly linked incident the next day, Tuesday, two boys aged about 14 were disturbed setting fire to old tyres and bracken on a vacant block in Governors Rd, Crib Point.

A neighbour spotted them using a gas torch to start a fire at 5.30pm. CFA crews already in the area were able to quickly put out the small fire.

The teenagers rode off through scrub

in the direction of Crib Point football oval on small motor bikes. One of the boys reportedly has light brown, shoulder-length dreadlocks.

About 350 people attended a community meeting organised by Mornington Peninsula Shire and the CFA at Bittern basketball stadium following Monday’s fire.

“Our police role here is to assist the CFA with road management and any evacuations required. We implore the community to assess things early, take note of the warnings and act,” Inspector Nyholm told the meeting.

A relief centre is open at Somerville Recreation Centre on Edward St. The mayor Cr Graham Pittock said the community had worked together well in the emergency to mitigate losses.

“What I saw was an improvement on last year,” he said, in reference to fires

on 3 January 2015 which destroyed large areas of Warringine Reserve, Hastings.

“All the fire services said the public had done well – but arson makes it a difficult situation for us all,” Cr Pittock said.

Cr David Garnock said the latest fire was “a horrible incident, but it brought out the best in people”.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has organised a meeting this Thursday for community leaders to discuss how they “can work together in the recovery process”.

The CFA advises residents to monitor conditions and remain aware of the latest fire information, with a Severe Fire Danger Rating for the Central District.

Anyone with information about the fires can call Detective Sergeant Coburn on 5978 1431.

Anglers caught in fisheries net A TRAWING expedition by fisheries officers on land and sea netted 144 anglers breaking such rules as catching too many fish, using too many lines and keeping undersized catches.

Despite the number of anglers booked, Fisheries Victoria says its Operation Billit found “the vast majority” of anglers in Western Port and Port Phillip “are doing so legally”.

The operation was targeting snapper anglers but caught one angler with too many calamari and another with abalone.

“We inspected 2100 recreational anglers on the water and at the boat ramps, we detected a total of 144 offenders were detected,” Fisheries Victoria’s Bob Hutton said.

“This was not a covert operation and was widely publicised before it started, so there is no real excuse for those 144 anglers not knowing, or deliberately flouting, fishing regulations.

“One man will be going to court for allegedly exceeding the catch limit of southern calamari and another will face abalone related charges.”

Altogether 39 infringement notices were issued, two relating to exceeding the catch limit of snapper. Those fish were seized and the anglers fined $455 each.

Other offences detected included taking other species below minimum size, which also generated a $455 fine, using more than four lines in marine waters and fishing without a licence.

“All of these rules are outlined in the Recreational Fishing Guide, which is available free from most good tackle stores or by downloading the free ‘Vic Fishing’ app for smartphones,” Mr Hutton said.

Anyone who sees or suspects illegal fishing can call the 24-hour reporting line 13 3474.

New boat boost to water safety Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE launching of the Volunteer Marine Rescue’s latest vessel, Darbyshire III, at Mornington on Sunday last week, is a boost to water safety and a tragic reminder of how the service came about.

The Noosa Cat 3000, a nine-metre, state-of-theart vessel, was officially launched by Sue Darbyshire, the widow of the man who gave the boat its name.

Paul Darbyshire drowned within sight of the shore in 1980, prompting a public push for better safety measures for bay users.

So moved and upset were Mornington police – two were among those watching the drama from the clifftop - that they organised a public meeting at Mornington Racecourse in June of that year with 120 residents attending.

“We can never forget why our rescue service was formed, and do everything possible to ensure nobody else loses their life in the bays,” VMR president Tim Warner said.

Darbyshire III was built in Queensland to the strictest of survey standards and VMR’s requirements. This means it wasn’t cheap: the cost to buy and equip it was $363,000 – made possible with 80 per cent coming from the state government’s Boating Safety and Facilities Program.

The boat joins VMR’s fleet of three Noosa Cats servicing Port Phillip and Western Port bays and out into Bass Strait.

Under the direction of the Victorian Water Police, VMR Mornington has carried out thousands of rescues.

Over the past four years, VMR Mornington and

Hastings carried out 14 per cent of the state’s marine rescues.

“That’s 700 times our pagers have been activated. We do not have the data to substantiate the previous 32 years, but if we use the same formula, we have assisted more than 7000 boaters in distress in our 36-year history,” Mr Warner said.

“Typically, a rescue took us an average of over an hour to locate a vessel. Now, with most vessels

having a GPS unit, we are generally alongside within 10-15 minutes of launching.”

In 2006 through a series of events, VMR took over Westernport Marine Rescue, and now has another modern vessel, the Alwyn Tamo, and a crew in Hastings to service Western Port Bay and Bass Strait,” Mr Warner said “They are often called on to conduct searches along with water police out into Bass Strait in

LETTERS Firefighting heroes I would just like to say a big thank you to the Crib Point CFA and also to all the other CFAs which sent trucks to help us out this week. I saw trucks from as far away as Edithvale, Berwick and Tooradin. These people are just amazing the way they get stuck into the fires and all of them volunteers.

I went to the meeting in Bittern on Monday night to update us on the situation and needless to say there were a few people who complained. I would like to know if they volunteer to help people in any way, I seriously doubt that they do.

But back to the point of this letter, yesterday I went with my two and a half year old grandson to the Crib Point CFA to give them some sandwiches. I went to Coles in Hastings to purchase some sandwich fillings and thought I would ask if they could help in any way. Well, a couple of minutes later I had a couple of slabs of bottled water, some packets of sausages and 12 loaves of bread to help out. And to top it off the lady who I asked about help gave me $20 out of her own purse towards the fillings, thank you Della. And then, after three hours making sandwiches, Toby and I got in the car and off we went.

I am used to Toby dressing up as Batman in his mask and cape and didn't think any more about him being in his “disguise”. When we got to the Crib Point CFA all the people there made such a fuss about Batman arriving with sandwiches, they even took a photo of him, he was so happy, just beaming.

These people, and there were many of them there, had lots to do and worry about but they made Batman feel very welcome and I thank them very much for this.

My grandchildren call the firemen their “fire heroes” and I think lots of the residents in Crib Point feel the same. A very big thank you to you fire heroes.

Beach behaviour There is nothing unusual about shire hall beach this year. Neil Gilbert (“Changes at beach”, Letters 19/1/16) asks what has caused this rocky change. Shire Hall Beach has simply returned to how it always used to be.

PAGE 12

Western Port News 26 January 2016

The rocky edge along the waterline was exactly how it was in the 1960s and 70s.

This is just cyclical wave and weather work. No scandal, nothing to do with recent pier works.

I can still recall locals picking out a sandy path through the rocks and my grandmother entering the water in her "swimming shoes" - a more stylish version of current day Crocs.

Coal exported Rupert Steiner was not handing out how to vote cards for Clive Palmer (“Changing sides”, Letters 12/1/16). I stood next to him.

Regarding the truth of coal exports the writer, Barrie Macmillan, should base argument on the facts, not conjecture.

The COAL-ition was not transparent about the intentions regarding coal exports over the midterm. Plans were certainly being made.

In the same way as Clive Palmer has massive coal rights but has not extracted a tonne, the plans for container exports of upgraded lignite (brown coal) are there. Both projects just have more hurdles to jump.

In an interview on ABC radio the day before the election that changed the government the Gippsland resources and infrastructure group said it was their intention to export coal briquettes to China.

VicRoads had advised the company on road capacity to Hastings and $25 million was given to Shanghai electric to produce upgraded coal that could be exported in containers. Having failed to meet its first milestone, the Andrew's government has just cancelled the funding.

In case you think upgraded coal cannot be exported in containers, it already is. They are called heat heads. They are made from carbonised brown coal from the Latrobe Valley and are transported in containers through the Port of Melbourne.

Can we please have proper and reasonable discussion without the vernacular more common in pub brawls.

Australians should be very proud of the agreement reached in Paris and our contribution to the negotiations. We played a very constructive role and our commitment to reduce emissions by 2628 per cent by 2030 is credible and significant.

We have an established suite of policies that are cutting emissions to tackle climate change.

At the centre of this is the Emissions Reduction Fund – which has already contracted 92.8 million tonnes of abatement.

In Paris, there was a lot of interest from other countries about how we are reducing emissions through soil carbon, revegetation, capturing landfill gas and energy efficiency.

Australia is recognised as a world leader for our work, research and development in these areas.

Other countries are interested in how we’re cutting emissions and tackling climate change

A CLOSE watch is being kept on power boats and jet skis to protect seals and other animals in Port Phillip.

An increase in patrols by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning along the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula coastline follows rare visit to the region from an Antarctic crab-eater seal and the return of Australian fur seal Arcto to Dromana.

The crab-eater seal was only 11th of its kind spotted in Victoria since 1856 and the first since 1999, while the bull seal Arcto was back at Dromana for the third year running.

With peak boating season in full swing, the DELWP Port Phillip Region is using its own jet skis and patrol boat

without a carbon tax that pushes up the price of electricity for Australian families.

We are playing our part in tackling climate change without putting Australia’s economy and jobs at risk.

The historic Paris agreement sets in place an enduring, dynamic framework where all countries play their part to meet the global challenge of climate change. The agreement sets a path for keeping global temperature increases to well below two degrees.

Greg Hunt, Environment Minister and MP for Flinders

Christmas spirit During December, two Mornington families opened their Christmas-themed decorated homes for viewing as a fundraiser, with all donations going to Special Olympics Melbourne Southern club.

At one of the locations, up to 300 people visited each night and revelled in the Christmas fairyland.

to protect the bay’s dolphins, seals and other marine life.

“We’re now ramping up our patrols all along the peninsula coastline where we expect hundreds of jet skiers and boaties to be present during the Australia Day holiday period,” DELWP compliance officer Abby Smith said.

Fines for driving too close to marine animals ranged from $228 (on the spot) or $3033 if taken to court.

Ms Smith said vessels should cut their speed to five knots or less if near a dolphin or whale “and drive away from the animal”.

High impact vessels like jet skis must remain 300 metres away from whales and dolphins. Recreational boats must remain 100m away from

Special Olympics is a volunteer based sporting organisation offering sports training and competition to people with an intellectual disability and provides many developmental pathways for these athletes, starting with training leading on to regional, state and national competitions and, for a few, representation at world championships.

Donations at these two Christmas wonderlands totalled almost $2000 and will help support these athletes reach their dreams through training and competitions in 2016. It should be noted that 100 per cent of donations reaches the charity.

Special Olympics Melbourne Southern thanks visitors and local residents, who generously donated at the two “open homes”.

Super savings I am dismayed that it looks like more workers will lose their entitlements, superannuation, holi-

dolphins and 200m from whales, except if approached.

“We’re partnering with other organisations like the Australian Marine Mammal Conservation Foundation to provide a visible presence and take action when necessary to ensure people are doing the right thing by the bay’s wildlife.

“Having so many recreational users on the water will disturb the behavioural patterns of dolphins and other precious species, so we ask people to behave responsibly and minimise any interactions with the bay’s wildlife.”

day pay as a result of the nickel company run by Clive Palmer going into receivership.

When is a responsible government or opposition going to legislate that all workers superannuation entitlements be paid by companies into a separate bank account in trust for their employees.

How many more workers have to lose their superannuation and other entitlements? The funds do not belong to companies or employers and it should be part of their obligations to contribute the legal amount as set down by legislation. If they can’t afford to put the money aside, then they should not be in business.

Workers have in the past forgone wage increases in lieu of superannuation payments.

The legislation should be introduced as soon as possible, with severe penalties for companies and employees that do not comply.

Maybe it’s time the union movement put some pressure on the government and opposition to act on this matter.

• Caravan Hire • Camper Hire • Caravan Accessories • Caravan Sale • Caravan Servicing PREPARING your garden for summer is critical with our long hot Australian summers. Here’s a few tips for helping your garden survive those sizzling days.

• Mulch and water plants with buds deeply once or twice weekly during hot, dry weather to limit buds and plants drying out and dropping off.

• Help potted plants stay col, especially those in terracotta pots which are prone to overheating. Stand potted plants in saucers filled with sand instead of water, and then keep the sand moist so the plant can take what it needs.

• If potted plants dry out to the point where re-wetting is hard, soak them in a bucket of water for half an hour, then drain.

• Water plants when it is cool, not in the middle of the day when the sun is at its hottest.

• Avoid mildew on roses, pumpkin,

melon, and other vegetables by spraying plants weekly with a solution made from one part cow’s milk to 10 parts water. It is an effective preventative.

• Don’t over cut the lawns when you mow as longer turf wears better and suppresses weeds. Use a seaweed tonic on the lawn once a month for faster growth.

• Make sure hoses and irrigation systems are free of leaks so the water is flowing freely to plants and there is no wastage. If you have a water tank, use mosquito mesh to stop mozzies and frogs entering tanks and pipes.

• Protect any new planting from the summer heat with shelter or shade cloth.

• If you are time poor, a bit of mulch and a few strategically placed flowers will give your garden a lift without too much time or expense.

Prout To Be A Rotarian Peter McCullough and Vic Jeremiah.

DON Prout moved to Tyabb when he completed his electrical apprenticeship at the age of 21. For the past 66 years he has conducted his business as an electrician in the district, although these days he is “more-or-less” retired.

Over the decades he has been involved in a variety of community activities with Rotary being a special interest.

This is Don’s story.

Earlier Prouts. Don’s knowledge of his grandfather, Samuel Prout, is limited other than he spent some time in South Africa where he managed a gold mine. He was a keen musician as evidenced by the photograph of the Johannesburg Brass Band which was taken around 1900.

Samuel Prout had five children, one of whom was Stan who started his working life on a dairy farm at Woolamai. While there he met Ella O’Meara who also grew up on a dairy farm.

They were married at the Presbyterian Church in Coburg where they built a house.

Stan worked initially as a driver for City Motor Service which had a government contract; his passengers ranged from the Prime Minister to

Dame Nellie Melba, and, on one occasion in 1928, he drove a young Elizabeth Greene to her wedding to Keith Murdoch. Stan was later in charge of the service department before leaving to purchase a mixed business in East Melbourne.

The business venture was quite successful, enabling Stan to achieve his goal of returning to the country. Ac-

cordingly, in the late 1940’s, he purchased an orchard of 30 acres on the Frankston-Flinders Road (then called Hastings Road) in Tyabb. Subsequently he and Ella retired to a home in Jones Road, Somerville where they lived for the rest of their lives.

Don -The Early Years. Don was an only child and was born in Brunswick on 29 August, 1928. He attended Mo-

reland Primary and Secondary Schools and then attempted to join the navy but was advised to do an apprenticeship first. About this time his parents relocated to East Melbourne which meant that Don was a student at Collingwood Technical School. After two years of a carpentry and joinery apprenticeship, Don transferred to an electrical apprenticeship which he completed successfully. Collingwood Tech. in those days was something of a nursery for potential sportsmen: Ron Richards and Len Fitzgerald (both of Collingwood) and Harold Shillinglaw (Fitzroy) were to become League footballers while Neil Harvey-the last remaining member of Bradman’s 1948 Invincibles-was a more than handy cricketer.

Don was of course working during his apprenticeship years and, after his parents moved to Tyabb, he boarded at the YMCA and other places until he completed the apprenticeship.

Although his mother had sent him

off for piano lessons for some years he was far more interested in playing the drums. He played the kettle drum in the school band and in the Salvation Army band while living in Moreland. During his teenage years he played regularly with several bands. This love of music has been a constant in Don’s life and he often plays the keyboard at home where the local Probus Club has a musical afternoon every second month.

Don played football for about 20 years, starting with the school team and then Black Rock before he moved to Tyabb.

Scouting was an early interest. Don joined the Moreland Cubs before moving on to Scouts. Later, when living in East Melbourne, he joined the Sea Scouts at Ivanhoe and would ride his pushbike across to attend meetings. In those years, while living in town, the bike was Don’s only means of transport to and from work.

The Move to Tyabb Don was 21 when he completed his apprenticeship and decided to join the rest of the family in Tyabb. His initial intention was to join the navy but his father mentioned that about 300 properties in the area were about to have electricity connected and advised him that this would be an opportune time to set up his own business. And so the firm of D. Prout & Co. Pty.Ltd., electrical contractors, was established: it still trades under that name with son Andrew in charge.

Over the years 33 apprentices have learned the trade from Don and Andrew and the business can proudly say that it has had some customers for over 40 years. Don and his wife, Shirley, continue to make a contribution by helping with the paperwork.

As soon as he moved to Tyabb Don resumed playing football, generally at full-forward, with Tyabb and then, when they went into recess, with Somerville. Don also played cricket with Tyabb until he was 43. As well as playing cricket for Tyabb on a Saturday, Don also played in a social competition on a Sunday based around Mornington.

He was a member of the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association and was involved in the building of their clubrooms at the Hooper Oval in Graydens Road. Locally he was on the committee and held the position of Vice-President of both the football and cricket clubs.

He is a life member of both.

Marriage to Shirley When Don was eight he spent his school holidays visiting relatives in Dunolly. Nearby lived the family of the local shoe repairer, Jim Edwards, which included a two year old daughter named Shirley. When Shirley was five the family moved to Frankston where her father continued to work as a cobbler, firstly from a shop in Playne Street and later on the Nepean Highway.

Shirley attended Frankston and Seaford Primary Schools. In her last year of schooling she obtained a part-time job at the newsagency opposite the station in Frankston , and eventually went to work there full-time.

At the age of sixteen Shirley attended a dance at the Frankston RSL and happened to encounter a 22 year old from

Tyabb who recalled their “meeting” at Dunolly some 14 years earlier. Although Shirley has suggested that for Don it must have been “love at first sight”, Don is quick to refute this idea!

On Australia Day, 1957 Don and Shirley were married at the Frankston Methodist Church; the day was chosen

by Shirley so that Don would have no excuse if he forgot their anniversary!

They have two children: Susan, born in 1958, and Andrew, born in 1963. Although Susan now lives in Queensland from where she runs a safety equipment business, her two children, Brennan and Rebecca Gillies, are residents of the Peninsula. The former is a horticulturist and the latter is a charge nurse at Rosebud Hospital.

Like his father Andrew played football and cricket and is a life member of both local clubs. He also enjoys golf and fishing. In her younger days Susan was a keen netballer with Hastings.

Later Interests.

As mentioned earlier, both Don and Shirley are member of the Hastings Combined Probus Club, and both have held the position of President in their 15 years of involvement.

Don’s main interest since his football/cricket days has been Rotary. He

was an inaugural member when the Hastings Rotary Club was formed in 1969 and has held many positions in the club over the past 46 years. Don is a Past President and has just retired as Chairman of the Rotary Foundation District Committee. He has received a Citation Award and has been the recipient of a Paul Harris Fellowship. During this long period of service Shirley has been a Rotary-ann and was also awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship.

Don and Shirley were on the Steer-

ing Committee for the establishment of Devil Bend Golf Club and both have been members at Long Island for 32 years. Shirley has won the championship at C grade level. Bowls has been another interest; they have been members at Somerville where Don was a pennant member for eight years. The lure of fishing has not passed unnoticed: Don has his own boat and has fished Western Port Bay since 1949.

With the hard yards behind them, Don and Shirley caught the travel bug

in the 1990’s: to New Zealand in 1991 and then an extensive tour of Europe in 1993. Assistance to the hospital in Suva was one of Rotary’s special projects and this led to a trip to Fiji for Don and Shirley in 1997.

Today, in their retirement, Don and Shirley Prout can enjoy the view from their home of 26 years in Peach Grove, Tyabb, and feel that they have made a long and significant contribution to their community.

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS IN REAL ESTATE!

Over the years Chris has personally sold over 2,000 properties of all types in the Hastings, Bittern, Crib Point, and Tyabb townships by both private treaty and Public Auction.

He has been an active Auctioneer and Member of the REIV for over 30 years and served as a member of the legislation, town planning and forms committee of the Institute.

Elected as a councillor for the Hastings ward of the Shire of Hastings in the early 1990’s he served as the Council representative on the Regional Planning body and was chairman of the Regional Library Service. He also represented the council on the first Port of Hastings Land Use Structure Plan study. The knowledge and contacts made at this time has given Chris a thorough understanding of Town Planning, Subdivision and Local Government processes.

On Australia Day this year our principal Chris Watt will celebrate 40 years in the Real Estate profession.

After serving 3 years in the Army as a surveyor, he commenced his career as a sales representative on 26th January 1976 with a company called Finn & Kempe Pty Ltd in their office at Emerald in the Dandenong Ranges in the days when the only equipment in the office was a big black telephone with a round dial on every desk, a manual Remington typewriter which the receptionist used to type up the correspondence (keeping a “carbon copy” in the file) and a pad of “Sale notes” - also with a piece of carbon paper behind the front page to make copies.

His first employer, was Gordon “Ned or Neddles” Phin, who started his career in the 1950’s as a land salesman in the Glen Waverley - Mt Waverley area with Wilmore and Randell. George Wilmore and Reg. Randall revolutionised the land sales business in the early 20th Century by employing a huge sales team to sell land door to door on Vendor Terms and later advertised on television using the announcer Hal Todd to advertise land for sale in Country Victoria mostly on Graham Kennedys In Melbourne Tonight (IMT) show on Channel 9.

After a short time at Emerald he moved to the big smoke in the City of Knox and worked in a team of 6 sales staff (all men in those days) at Peter Evans Real Estate in the then brand new Mountain Gate Shopping Centre on the corner of Ferntree Gully Road and Burwood Highway in Ferntree Gully.

Chris obtained a Certificate of Real Estate Management in 1983 and after two years of additional study in sales, marketing, psychology and conveyancing practice was awarded a Certificate of Business Studies in Real Estate from Prahran TAFE obtaining his full estate agents license on 28th August 1984.

He then moved to Crib Point to take up the role of Manager of the then Crowders Real Estate office in Hastings before opening the business known today as Century 21 Home Port on 1st September 1986 at its present location on Frankston-Flinders Road (there were no shops available for rent on High Street at the time).

More recently Chris represented the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry on the Port Land Use and Transport Structure Plan (PLUTS) carried out by Maunsel Consulting and is currently a member of the Chambers management committee.

These days Chris specialises in Commercial and Industrial property sales and leasing and leaves most of the residential business to his sales team headed by his brother Andrew Watt, who is also a fully licensed estate agent who has been in the industry for over 25 years.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Bush and grass fire claims homes Compiled by Melissa Walsh MR Jas Croskell, a very old resident of Frankston, departed this life last week at the ripe age of 84 years. An extended notice will appear in our next issue. *** THE “Wattles” Club will give one of their popular socials and dances in the Frankston Mechanics this (Saturday) evening, the proceeds being devoted to the fund for sick and wounded soldiers. *** ON Monday next (A.N.A.Day) a grand fete will be held at Tyabb in aid of the Red Cross funds. The Hastings Band will enliven proceedings during the day, and the ladies have made special arrangements to have luncheon ready at 12 o’clock. *** THE Dromana Sports Club intend holding their annual sports meeting on Wednesday, 16th February, for which they have issued a good programme, which appears in another column. Entries for all the events close with the hon. sec (Mr J. C. Griffith, junr.,) on Tuesday, 8th February. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a clearing sale of farm stock and implements, on account of Mr J. E. Boag, who has enlisted, on Friday next, at half-past 1 sharp, on the premises, three quarters of a mile from Dromana pier. ***

MISS L. Wheeler, L L.C.M., 1st class honors, book prizes, etc., the talented pianist and organist from Bendigo, will be commencing practice in Frankston, according to particulars in our advertising columns. We learn that all pupils prepared by Miss Wheeler have credibly passed their examinations, and therefore welcome the addition to Frankston of these educational facilities. *** THE War Council of Victoria appeal to all the citizens of the State to support the War Loan and thus play the part demanded of them to help to make victory certain. The loan is a safe and advantageous investment, which can only become insecure if the title to the whole of our National wealth fails through defeat.

Every one should apply for some of the bonds. Applications may be made through and particulars of investment will be given by the Manager of the local branch of the State Savings Bank. *** THE last meeting for the present, of the small working party of the ladies of Langwarrin, organized by Mrs W. Williams, of “Rupertstan” was held on the 19th inst, at the Recreation Hall, Langwarrin, kindly lent for all those meetings by Mr Berry. At the conclusion, 57 bags were forwarded to the Lady Mayoress’s Patriotic League, making the satisfactory total of 179 forwarded to date. *** A bush and grass fire broke out on the

east side of Frankston last Sunday, and rapidly spread to the railway near the reservoir. In its devastating track three houses were destroyed and it approached so close to the quarters of the Langwarrin station that Mr McNalley’s residence was only saved by the timely aid of a company of soldiers under Lieut. McFaul. Great credit is due to this officer and Pioneer Sergeant Samson, for their energy and foresight in preventing the spread of the flames. *** THE State War Councils throughout Australia are making a strong appeal to the citizens of the Commonwealth to support and support liberally to the full extent of their means, the second War Loan. Although £10,000,000 has been asked for, more is wanted to prosecute the war so far as Australia is concerned.

Copies of the appeal have been circulated to all post office agencies of the Commonwealth Bank and to branches of the State Savings Banks, and the public are invited to obtain one early and to consider seriously the position with which we are faced and to respond to the best of their ability. *** IT will be seen in our advertising columns that an amended notice appears of a poll to be held in the three ridings of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings to determine the question as to whether consent shall be given to the Frankston Gas Company to supply the Shire with electric light and

power.

The Council earnestly requests every ratepayer in favor of the installation of the electric light to record his or her vote on the occasion. As no postal voting is allowed, it is possible that a few malcontents might defeat the proposal, if those who desire it were apathetic and did not take the trouble to personally vote. It may be useful to again point out that the establishment of electric lighting will cost the ratepayer absolutely nothing—that no ratepayer need use electricity unless he or she desires to do so, and that gas will continue to be supplied as desired for domestic or other purposes. *** WEDDING Bells. Holy Trinity Church, Hastings was the scene of a quiet, but pretty wedding, on Wednesday, 19th inst, when Mr Will. Gregory, son of Mr and Mrs A. H. Gregory, of Frankston, and Miss Alice Bowell, second daughter of Mr and Mrs Bowell, of Hastings, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony.

Rev F. E. Watts performed the ceremony. The church had been decorated very prettily for the occasion and the bride looked beautiful as she entered, on the arm of her father, who gave her away. The Wedding March was played by Miss Parkes. The bride’s gown was a creation of white silk and lace, with wreath and handsome veil, she wore a rope of pearls and carried a wonderfully pretty bouquet of white flowers. ***

THE following letter was recently received from Signaller J. Andrews by his mother:— Just a few lines to let you know we are all back in our little dug-outs. It seems strange now after being in tents. I think all the chaps are like myself—all fit and well again for another “go.” We are looking forward for our mail this time, the last one went down, which I suppose you know.

We had a very heavy snow storm.

It was a beautiful sight to see all the hills covered with snow. It was not a bit cold while it was snowing, but, my word when it was thawing, it was dreadfully cold, and my feet have been dead ever since, they have no life in them yet.

The next time you write could you send me a pocket camera and some spools. I could get you some good snaps, just to give you a little idea of what some of our chaps had to go through. This snow storm has been the earliest, as the winter does not start till January. Could you get me a nice warm cardigan jacket and a good pair of gloves ? I am working in an observation station and cannot get very much exercise. I think I will get a good job out of this as our Lieut. asked me to study up my signalling, as the new brigades are so very short of signalling officers. That would not be too bad, and, my word ! I can tell you, I am trying my best to please him. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 January, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

An open letter to the Essendon Football Club

By Stuart McCullough CALL it fate. Or kismet. But whatever it is, it’s clear that the stars are well and truly aligned.

Here you are, in need of players to field a team.

And here am I; with a spare pair of boots, shorts that leave little to the imagination and a whole lot of time on my hands. Destiny has brought us together. In anticipation of your call, I have commenced an exacting regimen of physical training.

I’ve done at least a dozen pushups, albeit not all at once and not whilst lying down (the floor needed a vacuum). I am now in the greatest shape in my life, which I think might be a squircle, and I am ready to make my debut as a professional footballer.

I was always destined to be a professional athlete. But more than just supreme skills, I bring something to the table other players simply cannot: life experience. This should be of considerable interest to your football club. For starters, unlike most new recruits, I will not have a ridiculous haircut. This is attributable both to old-fashioned common sense as well as a shortage of material. Nor will I decorate myself like a human colouring book as so many footballers do, looking like they’re on day release rather than the interchange bench. As for the risk of staying out late and doing something stupid at a nightclub, rest assured – it’s hard to make a goose of yourself when you’re in bed by ten o’clock after binge-watching episodes of ‘The Wire’.

Monosyllabic press conferences will be a thing of the past. In fact, forget press conferences altogether. Instead, I’ll invite journalists over for a full-blown dinner party with cabana and barbecue shapes, cheese fondue and a fruit platter – the works. There will be no more grunting or glazing over in response to questions from the press as I expound at length. I will never, ever say that I’m taking things ‘one game at a time’, preferring instead to hand out copies of my five year strategic plan to members of the assembled media. Yes sir, things are going to be different.

That’s not the only change I plan to make. I will not refer to my teammates as ‘the boys’.

It’s a term that’s always made me feel uncomfortable; suggesting, as it does, that many of our professional athletes are in a state of perpetual arrested development that sees them lumped with the emotional intelligence of a twelve year old.

I realize that it’s supposed to make it sound as though the group is an indivisible entity, but who are we kidding? Football clubs are, like most workplaces, replete with petty jealousies and conflict driven by the unauthorized taking of the last tub of yoghurt from the communal fridge.

These disputes are the reason ‘trade week’ was invented. It’s time for honesty. From now on, other players will be ‘workmates’ or, if strictly necessary, ‘colleagues’.

As a past player of the Tyabb Junior Football Club, you should be happy to have me. But if I really do need to list my achievements in order to get you over the line, so be it. At the 1984 Club Pie Night and Raffle Draw, I was awarded ‘Best Dressed’. The following year I backed that up with a certificate for ‘Most Punctual’. Say what you will about the Brownlow, but it’s no substitute for turning up on time. For three years

running, I got a small statuette describing me as the ‘most improved’ player. Assuming that I have continued that stunning trajectory, it boggles the mind to think about how good I must be by now.

I was a halfback flanker. To this day, I hear people on the street describing me a flanker. That said, my hearing is not what it used to be and I’ll concede that these people may, in fact, be referring to me as something that simply sounds like ‘flanker’. I am also an excellent tackler. During an awkward growth spurt in the mid-eighties, I even perfected the art of tackling myself. The ball would be heading in my general direction and I would start running only to immediately fall over. It did wonders for my match stats.

If that doesn’t persuade you, consider this: Tyabb is just one town over from Hastings. And Hastings produced the greatest player ever to strap on the boots for your club, namely John Coleman. It would be a sentimental pick. Although I can’t claim to have kicked as many goals on the football field a John Coleman, I have kicked many other goals in life more generally, including a killer reverse park opposite the supermarket just last week.

But, fact is, I’m only writing this letter because I’m starting to get concerned. I would have thought you’d have phoned by now. Essendon: it’s time to think way, way, way outside the box.

Pick me to join your rag-tag bunch of underdogs.

I am prepared to supply my own boots, socks, oranges and have even come up with my own nickname: the Exfoliater. I’m not sure what it means, but it sure sounds impressive. I realize you’ve got plenty on your mind and to expedite the process, I’ve also enclosed a sample to test at your convenience. Careful with the lid, though, as I’m not sure it’s watertight. Please send through the dates and times for training sessions when you get a chance. If, despite this letter, you decide not to select me, please retain the sample as my gift to you. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Western Port News 26 January 2016

Music  Arts  Food DALLAS CRANE HEAD TO THE GRAND ON SCOUNDRELS TOUR

By Billy Dixon at Melbourne’s Hothouse Audio with Craig Harnath and engineering whiz-kid Jez Giddings, Scoundrels rounds up some of the band’s finest works to date with songs like The Sunnyside and Disillusioned proving just how gloriously majestic two guitars can be in front of a driving rhythm section.

SOMEWHERE back in 1996, a stupid conversation took place between four young blokes in a dusty oil shed on the trucking yards of Port Melbourne’s Dallas Crane Transport that went something like, “so ya reckon we could do this for a living?”

Almost 20 years later, Dallas Crane have become a not only a lauded constituent of the Australian rock ‘n roll scene, but a trendproof mainstay that continues to exhilarate audiences wherever they bloody well set foot!

Some used to call them, “Australia’s hardest working band,” playing their guts out to anyone who’d listen, in which most cases was a packed out pub anywhere around Australia.

They gave everything every time you saw them; no microphone left un-scolded, no denim jacket left un-soaked and no audience left anything other than completely satisfied with what they had just witnessed for the last hour and a bit. Even You Am I’s Tim Rogers had them down as his favourite band, immortalising them in their song Who Put The Devil In You? After some more-than-healthy Triple J support in the early part of the

The revitalised songwriting effort has yielded ten time-hardy gems on an extremely solid return-toform release from the band. Dave Larkin’s Come To Light and The Good Times demonstrates the band is far from done with it’s penchant for the splendid epic, whilst guitarist/singer Pete Satchell adds his own gentler touch on the compelling and beautiful Lucky Me.

millennium, the band were chased down by legendary Australian label Albert Productions (AC/DC, The Easybeats,) to come and add to their already killer legacy by laying down some choice cuts over two albums; one of their first rock signings in many years.

Their first offering, Dallas Crane /

Dallas Crane was so well received, it even had Australian Idol’s Mark Holden begrudgingly asking the question, ‘who the hell are these guys, and how are they getting triple ARIA Award nominations?’

A little time away from the scene after their Australian tour with The Who in 2009 meant not a lot of

activity for Dallas Crane over the last couple of years, but if their brand new long player Scoundrels is anything to go by, the Crane faithful can rest easy knowing that none of that original pent-up verve and vigor went missing in their brief sabbatical.

Recorded throughout 2014-2015

“Scoundrels” showcases a new level of sophistication in the band’s songwriting, not slowing in vitality or intrigue until the very last note.

It’s become available to the wider public through the band’s own Nylon Sounds label.

Scoundrels tour will hit ‘Grand Live’ @ Grand Hotel Mornington on Friday 29 January. Tickets at www.grand. net.au or at the door. Call Grand Hotel Mornington on (03) 5975 2001 for more information.

MICHALA BANAS  SCREEN GEM

By Andrea Louise Thomas Michala Banas began her screen career as a toddler on a TV commercial in her native New Zealand. She was cast in her first film at five. Her family moved to Australia when she was ten and she debuted on Australian TV at seventeen. Banas has played many roles, but perhaps her most memorable character is the one she is playing right now in Upper Middle Bogan. Amber Wheeler is an abrasive, foul-mouthed uberbogan and audiences love her.

MINT: What are the qualities of a great film?

BANAS: Story and writing are the keys to making anything good.

Honesty, care, love and authenticity are also great.

MINT: How did you decide to become an actress?

BANAS: My father, John Banas, was an actor who became a director and ran a theatre when I was a child. He went into writing later. Of course that influenced me. I grew up in the industry. I started when I was very young. I just always loved performing. It’s the only thing I felt passionate about and still really feel passionate about which is pretty awesome after 30 odd years.

It’s a fascinating job.

Banas will be heading to the Mornington Peninsula in February as part of the celebrity judging panel for the Peninsula Short Film Festival. I caught up with her to chat about her career and her next role as PSFF judge.

MINT: Let’s talk about Amber Wheeler…. Is this role the most fun you’ve had on screen?

MINT: What will you be looking for when judging?

BANAS: I just like to be entertained - whatever the genre. Sometimes people think they have to be really clever, but often it’s the simple films that are the best and the strongest. For me it doesn’t have to be fancy, I just have to be engaged with the story. Story and human behaviour are the areas I’m most interested in. I am going to go with what touches me most.

MINT: What advantages do you think short film has over feature films?

BANAS: If you’re starting out or you’ve never made a film before

BANAS: Yeah, I think so. We’re shooting our third season soon and I actually I can’t wait to do it and that’s completely honest. I love her.

She’s so fun. She’s got such a big heart under all of that stuff. Robyn Butler’s writing is so amazing, so brilliant and well thought out. She’s made my job very easy. I have to celebrate that. it’s a really great place to start because you can do it yourself. You can make short films on a smaller budget. Also, when you’re making bigger, more expensive films, you

have to give over control of certain creative ideas. Keeping it within your creative control is important for storytellers.

MINT: How do you channel the Australian bogan?

BANAS: I’m not that far away. We’ve all got it in us. I think Australians love this show because we’re all

a bit of both. We’ve all got the snobby part of us and then we have the part of us that wants to eat hot chips on the couch and swear like a truck driver. Amber is not a stretch for me to be honest.

She just speaks her mind, which I really admire.

MINT: If you could create any kind of female character for TV, what would she be like?

BANAS: I just want to see more women in leading roles of varying ages in general. I love strong women. I think that’s pretty clear with Amber, but strong doesn’t mean you’re not vulnerable. There seems to be a lot stuff on film that puts women in one category, not like in real life where we cross over into all the worlds of career, family and all that. I love it when the balance is right because it’s more truthful.

MINT: What would you like to try that you haven’t tried yet?

BANAS: I’d like to direct.

Come meet Banas at the Peninsula Short Film Festival on Saturday, February 6 at the Village Green, Rosebud. Event starts at 4 pm.

Films screen at 7pm. Don’t miss Banas as the indomitable Amber Wheeler in Upper Middle Bogan starting soon on ABC, Thursday nights at 8:30.

Magpies clear in second PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully CRIB Point are eight points clear in second place on the MPCA Provincial ladder after picking up an outright win against Baxter on Saturday.

The Magpies headed into the second day of the clash having already won the match after bowling out Baxter for 88 on day one.

Resuming at 7/179, the Pies added just 12 more runs before Baxter were back out to bat. Ricky Thompson top scored for the Magpies with 45, which included three fours and two sixes.

The second innings didn’t fare much better for Baxter. In fact, it was much, much worse.

The visitors lasted just 37.4 overs in the second innings and were rolled for just 53. Skipper Daniel Warwick

top scored with 20 and was one of only two Baxter batsmen to make it to double figures (Todd Quinn made 12).

Brad Davidson snared 4/14 from 12.4 overs, Jacob Cook claimed 3/24 to give him 9/67 for the match and Glenn Barclay helped himself to 2/7, handing him five wickets for the match.

Sorrento kept its season alive with a dramatic one run win against Moorooduc.

Resuming at 0/4 and looking at 217 for victory, Sorrento picked up the required runs with less than 10 balls remaining and two wickets in hand.

However, by the end of the match, the Sorras were bowled out for the target of 217 heading into the 80th over.

Corey Harris (35) and Liam O’Connor (30) got the visitors away to a good start in the chase, however

they then lost 4/28 to be on the back foot.

Leigh Poholke made 20 and the returning AJ King, named RPP’s Player of the Day, hit a match winning 48 and took the score to 217.

Rob Parslow (10) and Ryan O’Connor (12) were important in the end also.

Moorooduc skipper Leigh lambert was the best of the bowlers with 4/61 off 25 overs, while Cameron Bailey claimed 3/38.

Mornington also kept its season alive with an outright victory against Rye. The Doggies replied to Rye’s first innings score of 65 with 132 runs without loss (declared) on day one.

Rye resumed on day two at 3/51.

They were bowled out for 57.

Michael Heib picked up seven wickets for Mornington to give him

an amazing 13 wickets for the match.

The Dogs are now one of five teams sitting on 56 points on the ladder.

Fourth placed Sorrento is on 60 points.

Pines skipper Ricky Ramsdale celebrated his birthday in style on Saturday, taking 5/46 to help his side enjoy a convincing 150 run win against Langwarrin.

The Kangas started okay in the whopping 299 run chase with Simon McEvoy (23) and Matt Prosser (31) opening with 53.

However, it fell away quickly after that, Daniel Bray batting at nine getting the next highest score of 24.

Pat Jackson snared 2/32 off 19 overs for Pines.

Eivion Bowen dominated Mt Eliza on Saturday, taking 7/51 off 21 overs as Peninsula Old Boys recorded a 62 run win.

Keith Biggs top scored for the Mounties with 49 and Justin Grant hit 45, however, there was little to no support elsewhere.

Somerville maintained its position in the top four with a six run win against Long Island.

Chasing 172 for victory, the win was left up to one man – skipper Leigh Lowry.

Entering the fray at 2/6, Lowry proceeded to dominate the Long Island attack and hit an unbeaten 103.

The next highest score was Justin Allsop with 21.

Long Island’s Scott Phillips took 2/61 and orchestrated two sensational run outs which, at that stage of the match, looked match winning.

Lowry was a one man show and brought victory to the Eagles.

Parkers still in the mix after missing outright win DISTRICT

By IT Gully DELACOMBE Park failed in its attempt to pick up an outright victory over Seaford Tigers on Saturday in MPCA District cricket but is still a smoky to play finals.

The Parkers were on the verge of victory after the first day’s play after scoring 175 and then having the Tigers in real trouble at 5/72 at the end of the day.

The Tigers made just five more runs before being bowled out for 77.

Shane Deal claimed 4/21 and Andrew Stapleton 3/23 for the Parkers.

Delacombe Park then made 99 in 35 overs with Rowan Charles top scoring with 24 before sending the Tigers back out for another hit.

Jordan Watters claimed another three wickets to give him six for the match.

The Parkers looked on target for the outright when they had the Tigers 4/19, however, Matt Meagher (36) and Darren James (26) ensured they survived the day. The Tigers ended on 6/95.

Pearcedale has lit up the finals race with a three wicket victory over Baden Powell.

Chasing 186 for victory, the Panthers got the runs with three wickets and a handful of overs to spare.

Brad Trotter and Matt Cousland put on a 59 run opening stand, which is just what the Panthers were looking for.

Max Blackburn then brought his “A-game” yet again and his 66 in the middle order, together with Chris Dew’s 24, was enough to get the Panthers across the line and within 12 points of second place.

Sam Harrison was the pick of the Baden Powell bowlers with 3/33.

After such a dominant season to this point, the loss certainly won’t be a bad thing for the Braves.

Carrum went within six runs of beating fifth placed Seaford (205) on Saturday.

Hayden Moulton got the Lions away to a flier at the top of the order with 53 and Jake D’Atri (23), Ryan Dyer (24) and Lachy Dobson (23) then added some grunt in the middle order.

When Andy Johnson came out to bat at number 11 with a broken elbow, the Lions needed another 21 runs to win.

Johnson scored an unbeaten 16 but it wasn’t enough to get his side over the line. Rory Brown was the last wicket to fall with the score on 199.

Heatherhill remains in touch with the top four after a big win over Boneo.

The Hills made 185 in their first innings before rolling Boneo for 111. The Hills then sent Boneo in once again, however, they survived an outright attempt and finished on 6/116.

Flinders was always up against it to score 304 to claim victory over Red Hill. They fell 65 runs short.

Andrew Power with 82 was the stand out for Flinders in the chase.

Matt Grayson opened with 29, Tom Clements scored 24 and Dwayne Field 26.

Brent Martin and Andrew Mock were the keys in the win for the Hillmen, claiming 4/81 and 4/40 respectively.

Main Ridge successfully defended its 165 runs against Mt Martha.

Resuming at 1/9, Mt Martha was bowled out in the 80th over for just 130.

Mitch Darville top scored for the Reds with 31 while Brett Wilkinson scored 26.

Adam Bryant was the pick of the Main Ridge bowlers with five wickets.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

By IT Gully DROMANA maintained its dominance in MPCA Sub District cricket, picking up a solid 29 run win against Balnarring.

With its season on the line, Balnarring resumed on day two at 1/42, chasing 193 for victory. At that stage of the game, the pendulum was certainly swaying in favour of the Saints.

However, an early run out of Mark Walles on the second day put the Saints on the back foot. Tom Hilet was also run out when he was cruising with 23 runs. Dromana was taking advantage of the luck in the match.

Aaron Kaddatz continued his dominant season with 3/40, Danny Timmer claimed 2/31 and skipper Darren Kerr snared 2/1 off two overs to seal the deal.

Balnarring was all out for 163 in the 57th over.

Brenton Taylor was the highest run scorer for the Saints with 40.

Frankston YCW’s season is still well and truly alive after beating second placed Hastings.

The Stonecats were certainly favorites to win resuming on 2/85, chasing Hastings’ first innings total of 173.

PAGE 46

Western Port News 26 January 2016

Lai Leaunoa (49) and Jason Bedford (53) resumed and added 43 runs before both falling victim.

Levi McLoughlin-Dore then hit 20 in the middle order to get the Stonecats within range.

However, Hastings struck back and had YCW 6/167, 7/171 and 8/172.

The Blues needed two wickets and the Stonecats two runs.

YCW won out, Andrew Kitson and Sammy Fulton both scoring five runs each to drag the score to 184 in 44 overs.

Liam Bradshaw was sensational for the Blues with a season high 5/37 while Luke Hewitt claimed 4/51.

Carrum Downs went hard at an outright victory against Skye but had to settle for the 12 points.

Skye resumed at 2/2 in its first innings in reply to Carrum Downs’ 7/294.

The visitors were bowled out for 102. Chamara Perera and Stuart Swift took 3/15 and 3/30 respectively.

In their second innings, Skye batted for 46 overs for a score of 5/57. Perera added two second innings wickets while Michael O’Driscoll snared 3/24 off 10 overs.
