Looking for Miss Western Port THE search is on again for the next Miss Western Port. The pageant is open to young women aged 15-28 in the Western Port area wanting to gain self-confidence and become actively involved in the community to make a difference to the lives of others.

At this stage there are six contesting the 2016 crown – and all have sponsors from local businesses. Preliminary judging will be held in January and the winner will be crowned on the main stage at the Western Port Festival, Saturday 20 February.

Candidates are judged on their community involvement, confidence, poise and grace.

This year’s Miss Western Port –Mikaela Fowler, 19, of Somerville – is now in America studying and will be back before judging begins for the next pageant.

“Mikaela has been a wonderful ambassador for the Western Port community, and has received many opportunities in the modelling and professional industry,” pageant coordinator Jessica Martini said.

Applications for the 2016 pageant close at the end of the month. For details visit misswesternport.org.au or email pageant@westernportfestival.org.au

Fire alarm: catastrophe in waiting Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au INVESTIGATIONS into the risk posed by bushfires to the proposed Arthurs Seat Skylift have highlighted the dangers to residents living in or around the precinct.

The Mornington Peninsula is regarded as “one of the most bushfireprone areas in the world”, according to the municipality’s official fire management plan. And the towns around Arthurs Seat and its slopes have been

S A L E

assessed as being under “extreme” risk of “catastrophic” bushfires.

The Bushfire Risk Assessment Register lists Arthurs Seat and its lookout and escarpment, Main Ridge and Waterfall Gully Central as “almost certain” to burn.

The register is part of the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s fire management plan and bases its predictions on the history of past fires in the area.

The plan also gives special mention to Hastings as being the only town with having properties classified as being a “major hazard facility” - Esso at Long

island Point and United Terminals in nearby Callannans Rd. The plan includes a list of “Neighbourhood safer places – places of last resort” where refuge can be sought during fires.

The list includes Blairgowrie, McCrae, Balnarring, Dromana, Flinders, Mt Eliza, Mt Martha, Portsea, Rosebud West, Rye and Sorrento.

There are no refuges listed for anyone seeking shelter from bushfires at Arthurs Seat, Red Hill or Main Ridge.

Ironically, the Skylift’s upper station may be the only reasonably safe refuge

available. The station includes a cafe and will be surrounded by a cleared area.

Janet Stanley, a specialist in arson who has been widely quoted by opponents of the gondola ride, believes more tourists being attracted to the area will also increase the risk of bushfires being deliberately lit.

“Most arsonists light fires close to an urban setting. Bringing large numbers of visitors to the heavily forested area close to an urban environment would greatly increase the risk of an arson attack in the area,” Dr Stanley said.

Since 1997 there have been three recorded bushfires, which burned between 160 and five hectares but which were brought under control without any great loss to property.

Major fires (loss of human life or property of $5 million or more) listed in the shire’s fire management plan start from Black Thursday in February 1851 – a statewide fire that saw countryside around Western Port covered by “raging flames” – to January 2008 when a 48ha fire affected private and government land in Boundary Rd, Dromana.

Community house given new home THE former Annie Sage centre in Blacks Camp Rd, Somerville, will be refurbished as the new home of Somerville Community House. This follows a $270,000 grant from the state government’s Interface Growth Fund.

porting real contributions to communities of interface councils – councils like the Mornington Peninsula that are just on the outside of metro Melbourne.”

Cr Colomb thanked Cr Lynn Bowden for her passion for the township and her vision through the Somerville Community Planning and Development Project.

Cr Bowden said the Somerville Community House had outgrown its current facility. “The funding support will enable refurbishment of the former kindergarten building. It’s thought that placing the community house with the Somerville Senior Citizens Centre and pre-school nearby will bring a cohesive and centralised hub of services to the Somerville community.

“Funding will also help improve programs and services across the broader Somerville community, including those for children, students and older residents,” she said.

“Delivering this community facility has been a priority of council and the community as identified through the community assessment study.

“On behalf of the community I sincerely thank the state government for their support for our town - we look forward to bringing this much-needed community facility to the community.”

The shire has contributed $30,000 towards the detailed design. The works are expected to start early next year.

Wetland protection for the birds PROTECTING wetlands in Western Port and Port Phillip which are integral to the survival of migratory birds, ranges from controlling pest plants and animals to increasing understanding about their importance.

Management of the three internationally recognised Ramsar wetlands - Edithvale-Seaford, Western Port and the western shoreline of Port Phillip Bay – is coordinated out by the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority (PPWCMA).

“In addition, the PPWCMA has started the Improving Wetlands Project supported by the state govern-

Year of the copperhead snake Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au FORGET the Chinese Year of the Sheep or Goat, in terms of snakes in the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston and southeast region, it's the year of the copperhead snake.

Peninsula licensed wildlife controller Barry Goldsmith says the copperhead is the dominant type of snake appearing as the weather warms, displacing last year's "year of the tiger snake". "I've been removing on average two a day since the warm weather kicked in," he said.

Mr Goldsmith scotched the myth that there are more snakes around this year as animal hospitals and vets report a sharp increase in pets being bitten by snakes compared with this time last year.

"It's very simple – as we reduce snake habitat by development, humans and their pets are more likely to come into contact with snakes even though we have fewer snakes than, say, 20 years ago," he said.

Building of homes, shops, roads and other infrastructure in the region is also reducing the number of places where snake-catchers can release their captures.

He cited development in Mornington, Somerville and Rosebud in recent times for creating greater chances of humans (and their pets) encountering snakes.

"What is now the Peninsula Sands estate in Rosebud South was a place where snake-catchers released relocated snakes for 100 years," he said.

Mr Goldsmith is a champion of

snakes, regularly warning that it is illegal to kill snakes, and could attract a fine of more than $6000.

"It's not only illegal but also dangerous as people could be exposing themselves to potential injury or death," he said.

"The head of a decapitated snake can live for 15 minutes or more and still bite. There was a case in NSW where a man cut a black snake in half and returned to dispose of it 24 hours later. He grabbed the front half and it bit him.

"People need to be aware snakes are moving around looking for food and water; if you see a snake in your garden, leave it alone and you won't have a problem."

Killing a snake on your property

would just leave a vacuum that would be filled by another snake, he said.

The three most common snakes in the region are copperheads, tiger snakes and red-bellied black snakes.

"Having a copperhead or red-bellied black snake on your property is a good thing as they eat tiger snakes, which are more likely to bite humans and pets," he said.

"Tigers seek prey such as mice and rats, which live in sheds and houses, as well as birds and small mammals.

"Copperheads mainly seek frogs, lizards – and other snakes."

Mr Goldsmith also warned about pets and snakes. "Snakes don't attack dogs; dogs attack snakes," he said.

Veterinarians say dogs should be kept on a leash in dunes, long grass,

bushland and beside creeks.

Snake bites are difficult to detect on dogs and cats. First reactions can include trembling, rapid breathing, vomiting, defecation and collapse.

After some of these signs, eye pupils may dilate (get bigger) and the animal's gait will become clumsy as the legs become progressively weaker.

If the dose of venom is large enough, complete paralysis will occur, followed by death if untreated with anti-venom.

If treated immediately, pets have a good chance of survival and recovery.

The best course of action is to keep your pet as calm and still as possible and get them to a vet.

THE Balnarring branch of Red Cross raised more than $3000 from its annual spring lunch at Flinders Golf Club on Wednesday 21 October which was attended by 100 guests.

Red Cross members provide all the food for the lunch and businesses donated prizes for a raffle than raised about $600 offering such prizes as an outdoor heater, wine and women’s make up.

The guest speaker for the lunch was ABC TV Australian Story producer Belinda Hawkins, pictured, who lives at Shoreham.

In her presentation Ms Hawkins expressed admiration for the work of the Red Cross worldwide and said she was more than happy to support the organisation’s fund raising efforts.

Proceeds from the lunch will go to the Red Cross’ Syrian refugee project.

leaders of a group of Christians occupying Mr Hunt’s offices in protest at the government’s asylum seeker policies.

However, all the recent protests have centred on coal from Adani’s Carmichael mine which will be exported from a terminal at Abbot Point, which environmentalists believe will damage the nearby Great Barrier Reef.

“It [Mr Hunt’s approval of the mine] was being discussed by member of the yoga class and we decided that standing on our heads outside his Hastings office was most appropriate, as Adani is an Indian company and yoga has its

Indian origin,” Ms Wrigley said.

“We discussed joining [activist group] GetUp’s protests and standing around holding placards, but decided doing head stands would be a good way of getting it across to Mr Hunt to turn his decision on its head.”

Ms Wrigley said the yoga group – “we all live in Mr Hunt’s electorate” – intended to make standing on their heads outside his office “a regular thing”.

For his part, Mr Hunt says the Adini permit will be subject to strict environmental conditions.

Six wins in Tidy Towns FIVE peninsula projects and one individual have been recognised at the Tidy Town – Sustainable Community Awards.

Three winners were:  Mornington Peninsula Shire and Southern Peninsula Community Information and Support Fresh Food Program.  Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Clean Beach and Waterway program.  The shire’s litter prevention program at Ballar Creek, Mt Eliza.

Highly commended were:  Young Leaders – Sustainability Leadership: Luke Reardon, Western Port Secondary College, Hastings.  Young Leaders – Sustainability Leadership: St Joey’s Cafe, run by year 6 pupils at St Joseph’s school, Crib Point.  Cultural Heritage: Victorian Maritime Centre’s Otama submarine project at Crib Point.

Hastings and Mornington were finalists for the overall Tidy Town Award, which was won by Horsham.

Green waste A FREE green waste weekend will be held at all Mornington Peninsula Shire tips on Saturday and Sunday, 14 and 15 November. Residents and ratepayers only will be able to dump green waste from residential vehicles and trailers.

No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste will be accepted and proof of residency is required, such as a driver’s licence with a current address.

Because of the popularity of the free days, delays are to be expected, particularly at the beginning and end of each day. The Tyabb site can be used to avoid delays at Mornington, which can only accept up to three cubic metres of green waste a trip. Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber. Residents in the shire’s urban areas can also pay to use 240-litre fortnightly kerbside green waste bins.

“The no charge green waste weekend is a good opportunity for all residents to clean up around their properties, especially in the approach to summer and the fire season,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said.

Resource recovery centres are at Truemans Rd, Rye, McKirdys Rd, Tyabb and Watt Rd, Mornington. Opening hours are 8am-5pm, Saturday and Sunday.

Talking about GM A PUBLIC lecture on genetically manipulated food and healthy nutrition will be held 7pm, Friday 30 October, at Mt Eliza community hall, Mt Eliza.

The South Eastern Centre for Sustainability will be hosting the lecture as part of its annual general meeting.

President Steven Karakitsos says those attending would learn about the dangers of GM food and ways to improve their eating habits.

“They will be able to change their lifestyles for the better with the advice of two outstanding cutting-edge activists and nutritionists Bob Phelps and Joey De Backer,” he said.

Mr Phelps founded Gene Ethics in 1988 with the aim of protecting public health, environment and seed heritage from the impacts of genetically manipulated plants, animals and microbes. “We require sustainable food systems to feed everyone well when our climates change, and oil and phosphates run out,” he said.

“New GM techniques, nanomaterials and food irradiation also challenge food safety. Strong scientific assessment, regulations and food labels are essential.”

Ms De Backer is an accredited practising dietitian and holistic nutritionist, founder of Living Nutrition and creator of the Healthy Habits program. She promotes the consumption of slow food, that is: seasonal, local, organic and whole, which is not only healthier for us but for our planet, too.

Changing our eating habits can be hard so she counsels clients on mindful eating and getting in tune with our bodies and our eating behaviours so we can make healthy choices.

Music and light refreshments are included.

Clearing the way for gondola construction THE peace at Arthurs Seat was disturbed by the sounds of tree lopping and bush clearing last week as Wangaratta-based contractors working for Arthurs Seat Skylift removed vegetation at the sites of the proposed bottom and top gondola stations.

It was the first major work by Skylift on the $16 million ride, which it is hoped will be open before Christmas next year.

On Friday morning, Skylift's Simon McKeon and Hans Brugman inspected the two sites with representatives of Doppelmayr of Austria, which will be fabricating the ride, and Parks Victoria officers including district manager Libby Jude.

The clearing Monday to Thursday last week

followed work by Parks Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire mid-October, which Ms Jude said was part of "fire preparedness works in Arthurs Seat State Park for the Skylift [gondola] project".

The summit picnic area off Purves Rd and the car park at the bottom will be closed during construction.

Parks is encouraging visitors to picnic at "the expansive and secluded Seawinds Gardens, just a short 600 metres walk from the summit picnic area". Picnic and barbecue facilities will remain available at the main picnic area to the north (Port Phillip side) of Arthurs Seat Rd. Mike Hast

Counting rare, common, fish

Counting koalas KOALAS living on the Mornington Peninsula will be included in a count being held across Victoria next Saturday week.

The “citizen science” project by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) has been designed to “increase our understanding of koalas and contribute to their management”, according to Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister Lisa Neville.

“By registering and taking part in the count, the community can assist by recording where they did as well as where they did not see koalas.

“The citizen science data captured from the Great Victorian Koala Count will be used to inform conservation, protection and management actions for koalas and their habitats.”

The count will take place on Saturday 7 November.

For more information and to register for the count go to www.delwp. vic.gov.au/koala-count.

WATCHING goldfish in a bowl can be restful or compared to waiting for grass to appear.

But that won’t be the outcome for hundreds of divers and snorkelers in the water at Rye and Flinders this summer as part of the biggest citizen science event on Victoria’s marine calendar, the Great Victorian Fish Count.

“The huge amount of enthusiasm volunteers have for the Great Victorian Fish Count reflects the deep knowledge and passion that exists in local communities for our marine life,” Caitlin Griffith from the Victorian National Parks Association said today.

“This enthusiasm makes it possible to contribute large amounts of real, usable data to marine managers and improves our understanding of Victoria’s waters.”

Now in its 11th year, the fish count is organised by the VPNA, Parks Victoria, Museum Victoria, Coastcare

Victoria, dive operators and community groups. It will run from Saturday 21 November to Sunday 6 December.

This year’s count is looking for “fish on the move”, and will focus on species that may be expanding their distribution and populations as a result of changes in the marine environment, such as ocean warming due to climate change.

Fish counters will be asked to watch for well-known fish as well as species that may be new or unusual to the area, logging unusual or rare sightings on the Redmap project (redmap.org. au).

Redmap is a national citizen science project that records data and maps marine species that may be extending their range in Australia in response to changes in the marine environment.

Registrations for the Great Victorian Fish Count are open to dive clubs and community groups. Details: fishcount. vnpa.org.au or call 9347 5188.

Rate cap may not quell cash demands David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au COUNCILS looking to get around the state government’s rate cap plan are believed to feel they have found an answer – special charge schemes, which are specifically excluded from the rate cap rules.

Large city law firms who specialise in local government are advising councils, which hotly oppose the plan to end the pattern of big rate rises, on how to deal with the cap.

Councils use special charge schemes to require landowners to pay part of the cost of such works as footpaths, bicycle paths, street kerbing and channelling, drainage, roadworks and off-street parking.

Of these works, the Local Government Act names only drainage required to protect public health.

Other references could be interpreted to encompass a wide range of works for which councils could impose a special charge.

Lawyers are emphasising the possibilities of the Act’s wording in section 163, which refers broadly to raising money “in relation to the performance of a function or the exercise of a power of the council”.

But the Essential Services Commission, author of the rate cap proposal, has warned councils it will closely

monitor use of the Act to stymie its proposal if it becomes clear section 163 is being used to try to sidestep the cap on council spending.

The cap plan has not yet gone through state Parliament. It could be opposed in the Legislative Council, where the government does not have a majority.

Statewide rates are proposed to be set at around three per cent in 201617 after years of annual bills of twice – and often more – that size.

Legal firms studying rate capping are believed to include Maddocks, the city law firm that advises Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Another firm, Macquarie Local Government Lawyers, is telling clients they should use section 163 “to raise special rates and special charges for any purpose considered to be within the attainment of their objectives”. (Macquarie’s emphasis.)

The firm’s website advertises the imminent arrival of its new special charge publication, the 2016 edition of its Special Rates and Charges Manual. This is being “completely revised” to include material not in its $895 first edition of 2012.

The new manual includes “the several cases which have been decided

by VCAT on special rates and charges since the publication of the first edition”.

It will, the firm says, “continue to be a valuable tool for all council officers who are required to prepare or administer any special rate or special charge scheme”.

The manual will contain working examples and “completed pro-formas” and will continue to contain “all of the documentation necessary for a council to declare and levy a special rate or special charge under section 163”.

Macquarie specifies five areas:  Promotion of a retail shopping centre.  Promotion of a commercial business precinct.  Construction of a road.  Construction of a footpath.  Provision of drainage infrastructure.

While information on special charge schemes proved almost impossible to find on the Mornington Peninsula Shire website, other councils were not so reticent.

Bass Coast Shire speaks of the “user pays system that is known as a special charge” by which the state government “recognises that councils need help to provide improved infrastructure for their local communities”.

“Legislation allows councils to pass on the cost of constructing sealed roads, kerb and channel, footpaths, underground drainage and other capital infrastructure to the owner of

a property that generally receives a unique benefit from the construction works,” Bass Coast explains.

The Aireys Inlet & District Association in 2010 told its members that residents “may find projects [proposed as special charge schemes] neither beneficial nor necessary.

“It is questionable whether the benefit of a sealed road outweighs the increase in traffic, the increase in speeding cars, the increase in buses, and the total loss of neighbourhood character,” it said. “Whether infrastructure is necessary is also highly subjective.”

In a rebuttal that anticipates the current case against rate capping, the association went on: “The [Surf Coast Shire’s] policy on infrastructure special rate or charge scheme states that special charge schemes are necessary because infrastructure demands exceed available financial resources.

“This argument is flawed on two counts. First, the job of the council is to allocate limited financial resources in a responsible and expedient manner throughout the shire. If infrastructure is needed, then money will be allocated for that project on a needs basis, as is often the case now…

“Second, residents should not be expected to pay money, often many thousands of dollars, in addition to their rates.”

It then criticises the Surf Coast Shire, saying: “It is disturbing that council’s website indicates the only recourse for objection to a special charge scheme is through VCAT. This is not the case.

“It is only fair that residents should be informed of the provision [in the Local Government Act] … that a council cannot make a declaration to levy a special charge if the council receives objections from the majority of rateable properties in respect to which the special charge scheme would be imposed.

“So, if more than half of the owners of the rateable properties object to a special charge scheme then it will not proceed.”

This writer was unable to find such information on the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s website despite a diligent search using “special charge scheme” and other relevant words.

The futility of the search was reminiscent of lucky dips at fetes where, for a modest sum, boys and girls can rummage for a gift in a barrel filled with sawdust.

Winners: Woodleigh School’s winning bowls team members relax after their win.

Bowlers top the class WOODLEIGH School (Baxter) pipped Somerville Secondary College and Flinders College (Tyabb) to win the Somerville Bowls Club schools’ trophy on Wednesday 14 October.

Each school had six teams playing three bowl pairs over 16 ends. Players were from years 7, 8 and 9.

Woodleigh’s win means each of the schools has had a win in the past three

years. This heralds a keenly fought contest next year to see who can win the trophy a second time.

“With the spotlight on school children getting out and being physical, our club thought this would be a great example to other schools to take up the challenge,” Somerville’s bowls director Trevor Griffin said.

NBN roll-out nears

ville and Tyabb – 13,700 houses – will have to wait until the first quarter of the following year.

The national target is to have fast internet available to every home and business in Australia by 2020.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt said the NBN aims to transform education, health care and other important online services.

THE National Broadband Network will be rolled out to about 4700 houses in Balnarring, Balnarring Beach, Flinders, Point Leo, Red Hill, Red Hill South, Shoreham and Somers during the second quarter of 2016.

Feet on the road for safer driving A WALKING and running event is the main financial force behind a driver education program for thousands of year 11 students across the Mornington Peninsula.

The annual Arthurs Seat Challenge raises money for the Fit2Drive program to help students become safer road users by focusing on better decision making when faced with risky situations.

The program also increases community support, sharing knowledge with parents and schools in our local area.

“It has been remarkable to see the growth and expansion of road safety

education across the peninsula, and the shared response to reducing road fatality and injury involving young people since the inception of this program at our local secondary schools,” BlueScope Western Port plant manager Jim Graham said.

Mr Graham said BlueScope was “thrilled” to continue its support of the Arthurs Seat Challenge fun run, to be held this year on Sunday 8 November.

“BlueScope has been manufacturing steel on the peninsula for more than 40 years and has been a supporter and major sponsor of the challenge since the first event in 2002.”

In that time the number of participants in the challenge had grown from less than 200 to 2000.

“Our company’s core values of keeping people safe and supporting our local community are in direct alignment with the Fit2Drive Program and the Arthurs Seat Challenge,” Mr Graham said.

“We look forward to seeing great representation from the community and we will certainly have a strong squad from BlueScope challenging on the day.”

Fire alarm Continued from Page 1 Other fires on the list occurred at Flinders, Somers, Crib Point, HMAS Cerberus, Red Hill, Mt Martha Park and Arthurs Seat.

The plan does not include a February 2013 fire that began on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Dromana and spread to the historic Heronswood property, completely destroying its thatched roof cafe.

A fire that started in a wood yard at Hastings in January 2014 quickly spread into Warringine Reserve, threatening nearby houses and Crib Point.

Four weeks ago firefighters managed to control a blaze heading towards BlueScope’s Western Port steel works at Hastings.

Although relatively quickly contained, the fire was heading towards the steel works and Esso’s gas plant at nearby Long Island Point, which is listed as a major hazard facility.

In the same area, United Terminals in Callannan St, is currently being extended and is also listed as a major hazard facility.

Once built, a fuel storage and distribution centre by Puma Energy in Bayview Rd will further add to the combustability of the Hastings port area.

Last week Nepean MP Martin Dixon warned that the peninsula’s green countryside was deceptive: “Fire authorities say a major fire is now not a matter of if, but when.”

Mr Dixon told Parliament he had “a number of worries regarding the fire season this year”.

“Locals do not believe the forecast because the forecast last year was very inaccurate. The tens of thousands of

city day visitors and renters know little if anything about [fire] awareness,” he said.

“The southern peninsula is one of the three most dangerous fire timbered areas, very explosive tea trees, massive seasonal population increases and totally congested freeways, roads and streets, and, being a peninsula, there is a lack of exit and access routes for emergency vehicles.”

Mr Dixon complimented CFA brigades on their preparedness but called on “all relevant government department agencies and ministers to facilitate more emergency clean-ups and to educate residents and visitors about their responsibility to clear up their land and have a thorough [knowledge] that if a major fire starts and you are on the southern peninsula, you will not be able to leave”.

“There will be no escape, so plan accordingly,” Mr Dixon said.

While opponents of Skylift’s gondola point out the possible dire consequences to people sheltering from raging fires at either its upper or lower stations, the risk to life and property goes well beyond this one development.

“It is hard to comprehend why a gondola would be placed in an area of such fire risk, potentially placing many more people in danger and increasing the risk to the local residents, firefighters and the environment,” said Dr Stanley, who is Monash Sustainability Institute’s chief research officer.

“If a large fire occurred then other nearby localities would be also endangered, with potentially a much wider effect than the areas itemised in [the shire’s fire management plan].”

The gondola itself has been the subject of heated debate over its susceptibility to bushfire.

A separate bushfire emergency plan commissioned by Arthurs Seat Skylift

describes how the company’s employees will respond to a bushfire threat before the arrival and handing over of control to emergency services.

The plan “has been designed to assist management to protect life and property in the event of a bushfire”.

The bushfire emergency plan comes with lists of contact phone numbers and colourful flow charts showing various actions and delegations should there be a fire. However, it provides no guarantees: “Ideally, instructions for how staff and Skylift visitors respond to a bushfire situation (evacuation or shelter-in-place) will be provided by emergency services personnel,” the report states.

“It must be recognised, however, that in some situations, emergency services will not be present and it will fall to the Arthurs Seat Skylift management (operations manager/chief warden) to determine a course of action.”

The plan says the pre-cast concrete upper station, which includes a cafe for 100 patrons, will be built to Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) of 12.5 and be surrounded by a “defendable area”.

The Skylift’s 34 gondolas can carry up to 212 people.

Council’s fire prevention officer can order a clean-up of properties seen as being at risk.

The peninsula has two fire brigade groups, Western Port Group (13 brigades) and Peninsula Group (eight brigades). The 21 brigades have more than 600 firefighters, who respond to about 4000 fires and emergencies each year.

Houses at risk: Properties in south Hastings and Crib Point were threatened by a fire in January which was finally contained within the Warringine coastal reserve.

Keeping family memories alive

PROUD SUPPLIER FOR THE BLOCK GLASSHOUSE

OVERHEARD at a wake: “Dad used to yarn about the Mornington Peninsula in the old days.

Remember the wagon trip and setting up camp, the possum and its stoush with the dog? And his sister’s first boyfriend? I can’t remember the details, just that it was funny. If only I had listened. If only he had written them down for the family.”

These memories are typical of the conversations that take place each month when members of the Mainly Memoirs group get together.

“Everyone has a story to tell. Members each produce a piece either prompted by a photograph or some incident. Read aloud, we discuss them and if necessary make suggestions,” organiser Colleen Isaac said.

Members say the group helps them focus on recording their family’s shared memories for the next generation.

Ms Isaacs said the exercise also helped improve writing skills.

“The bonus for participants is that the experiences are so different. Some are funny, some

tragic, others nostalgic,” she said.

“All are informative. We have heard vividly described life in California in the 1950s and 1960s, South and East Africa under colonial rule, personalities on a Lutheran farm near Albury, hitch-hiking in Europe, and being bailed up in redneck Southern USA.” Mainly Memoirs meets midday-1.55pm on the second Monday of the month in the community room at Rosebud Library.

Guardians in the surf for 50 years GUNNAMATTA Surf Life Saving Club members celebrate 50 years of “saving lives and serving the community” this summer.

The long stretch of beach they patrol at the southern end of Truemans Rd, Rosebud, faces Bass Strait between Portsea and Cape Schanck.

Before the club was established in 1966 many battles were fought between the former Shire of Flinders and the community about whether this area of the coast should even be open to the public as it was regarded as too dangerous for swimming.

There were calls for the council to “close 30 kilometres of coast to avoid drownings” – rather than partially developing the beaches to cater for swimmers without regard for their safety.

In 1963, Truemans Rd was graded as a sandy track to allow access to the beach to “salvage items from wrecked ships” and for fisherman to cast their lines. Public toilets were also built.

With beach access, came swimmers.

And that caused even more friction, with stories of councillors “patrolling” the beach and asking people to leave. Other councillors called for the installation of rocket launchers to rescue those in danger of drowning.

Lifesavers from the Point Leo club made some rescues as they ventured to Gunnamatta for a swim and surf on a good day.

Following several drownings and public concern over the years, Gunnamatta Surf Life Saving Club was established and patrols started in December 1966.

Rescuers at the ready: Gunnamatta lifesavers rescued two fathers caught in wild seas at St Andrews on a hot summer’s day in 1975. There were no mobile phones to call for help and the lifesavers were based in a small tin shed. Fifty years later the club is about to celebrate its 50th year of continually being available to rescue swimmers caught in the seas that were once thought too dangerous to enter. Rescue pictures: Keith Platt

Some foundation members of Gunnamatta came from the Point Leo club.

The first clubhouse was a six-car tin shed provided by the Shire of Flinders and set on the edge of the primary sand dune overlooking the beach.

Over the years the club raised enough money to build a new clubhouse on the other side of the dune. It provides accommodation, storage for life-saving equipment and areas for training members – including a large contingent of Nippers.

Last year the club spent more than

$120,000 on part of the building that had suffered the effects of exposure to the elements.

Spokesperson Phil Webb says that since its foundation, club members have rescued 4413 people at the beach – an average of 90 a year.

And that is only part of the thousands who have avoided trouble every summer through the efforts of lifesavers taking preventative action, such as guiding them away from rips and dangerous currents, and ensuring they swim between the red and yellow flags.

“The motto of Surf Life Saving Australia is Vigilance and Service.

Preventing the need for rescues, and providing first aid and public education on surf awareness, is part of the package offered by lifesavers at Gunnamatta,” Mr Webb said.

One dramatic rescue in December 1975 was captured on film by Mornington Peninsula News Group editor Keith Platt.

The club is seeking to contact those who were part of the club over the past 50 years to join the celebrations.

Functions planned to celebrate the anniversary, begin with an open day on Saturday 23 January 2016 at the clubhouse.

The club is also seeking recollections from those who have been rescued or have memories of their time at Gunnamatta. Sponsors are always welcome as the club recovers from substantial costs incurred with the recent re-building.

LETTERS Limited time The road works for the eastern (south bound) service centre on Peninsula Link at Baxter have been completed for some time, and yet an 80kph speed limit still applies.

Similar service centres on the Hume Highway and Geelong Freeway, with similar exit and on ramps, are not similarly encumbered.

I perceive several possible reasons why the freeway limit of 100 kph might not have been restored. The root cause of each possibility is not particularly palatable: 1. Perhaps there is some feature of the exit and on ramps which renders them unsafe in comparison to the ramps on the Hume and Geelong freeway.

2. Perhaps some influence has been exerted upon the RTA in order to retain the road work speed limit, so as to give prospective customers more time to consider turning in to the service centre.

3. The RTA hasn’t yet got around to removing the signs.

I believe that it is past time that the 80 kph speed limit was removed.

Trail of destruction In response to Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean (“Bay Trail supporter”, Letters, 13/10/2015) we have very serious concerns regarding a recent proposal by Mornington Peninsula Shire to build parallel pathways along the foreshore from Rye to Blairgowrie.

We support the proposed pathway along Point Nepean Rd, however to build another pathway parallel to this and along the foreshore will cause extensive and irreversible damage.

It will claim several kilometers of native vegetation along the foreshore, 4.4 metres wide (2.4m + 1m clearance either side) to be replaced with what we assume would mostly be concrete aggregate.

Imagine a bulldozer ploughing along an already very fragile and narrow width foreshore and you begin to understand the extent of damage being proposed.

The vegetation along the foreshore acts as a natural barrier to coastal erosion and to approve such a project will further fragment and weaken the coastline.

It shows an irresponsible lack of consideration and understanding of coastal processes by its minority group proponents.

The foreshore is cherished by locals and visitors alike for its natural character and its existing meandering walking tracks.

This project will forever damage our iconic foreshore; it’s completely unnecessary when a suitable bay trail pathway would exist just

metres away. This irrevocable destruction of our coastline must be prevented.

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Privacy warning Shop owners or managers posting CCTV footage on social media of people who they accuse of being shoplifters or thieves need to be very careful (“Zen approach brings tearful return”, The News, 20/10/15).

The matter is not proven. The CCTV images can [only] presume. If the customer is an innocent browser or indeed has a receipt, what then?

If anyone posted my identity on social media and called me a thief (presuming I was innocent) I would sue the pants off that person for defamation, slander, libel, [contravention of] Privacy Act laws; and [seek] compensation.

I would seek to have a large amount of money awarded, or that person’s house in lieu.

Lucky Joe If former Treasurer Joe Hockey spits the dummy and resigns his seat midway through his term, why is he rewarded to go on to be possibly be Australia’s next ambassador to Washington, the most coveted ambassadorship of all.

In big business we see CEOs who do a really bad job rewarded with bonuses or golden handshakes.

If Joe Hockey’s new job does come to pass, surely his entitlements as a former member of Parliament should be put in a trust, his new salary will surely be adequate with all the perks it attracts.

There is also another question that needs to be asked: is Joe Hockey the best qualified person for this lucrative job?

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Busy minister [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has become a very busy man lately. Part time Minister for Cities and, in my view, definitely part time Minister for the Environment.

A short while ago he presented his grand design for Melbourne along with the promise of grand amounts of money to his Liberal colleague, [Opposition leader] Matthew Guy amid grand media coverage.

The only problem was that Matt is not in government, [the Premier] Dan Andrews is. So, he was the bloke Mr Hunt should have talked with, instead of giving him the good news via radio and television coverage.

Greg Hunt has shown just last week how good an Environment Minister he is by allowing Adani to mine in central Queensland, threatening the Great Barrier Reef.

He claims to have put in place the "strictest conditions in Australia's history". (“Tensions rise as MP calls cut”, The News 20/10/15). He doesn't say if he will close the mine should they breach these strict conditions.

While all this is going on, Greg Hunt may remember that some weeks ago, I asked him to get the Turnbull government to restore the funding for the PenBus. He should do the right thing by his community: get the funding. His constituents deserve some reward continually for returning you into office.

John Cain, McCrae

Feeling let down One could almost feel sorry for Flinders MP Greg Hunt, were it not for his actions.

The GetUp delegation that was so graciously taken into his electoral office heard the spin and party line statements we all are so used to (“Tensions rise as MP calls cut”, The News 20/10/15).

After surviving this experience and not going mad, the protesters were assured that if they could get a letter detailing their concerns about the proposed Carmichael mine in Queensland, he would gladly receive it and hand it on to the Queensland government.

Of course the innocent throng of concerned citizens assumed that this would mean he would not make any decisions on granting a permit for the said mine in the near future. How wrong they were.

After a lot of hard work by many of the concerned citizen, to get the letter drafted and as many signatures as possible under it, we learned after a very few days that our glorious Minister for the Environment had granted this permit with great fanfare and spin about the many conditions which "surely" will protect our greatest natural asset from being adversely effected or even destroyed by this mega mine proposal. Let alone the effect on farming in the vicinity of this behemoth.

So, in my humble opinion, I urge Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to please get rid of this survivour of the Abbott government.

Greg Hunt appears to be still on this mantra of promising one thing and doing exactly the opposite, something that we so hated under Abbott.

We feel a little let down Mr Hunt.

DIY environment Global warming? Call it climate change. Falsify the readings, scientists need to get more finance and it’s not warming much lately.

The hole in the ozone layer was to eliminate mankind years ago – now that’s crap.

There have been predictions that dams will never fill, Perth and coastal towns will be ghost

towns and raging bushfires everywhere last summer.

Climate change ruined our southern [peninsula] beaches when anyone with a brain knows it was dredging at The Heads. Dan the man wants to do another Myki/desalinisation plant deal with the Port of Melbourne, to dig deeper, to get a better price. Heaven help our [Port Phillip] bay – but we will blame climate change.

Our Great Barrier Reef, to be extinct so many tims? Strange how the environment seems to correct itself. That is not crap.

I was captain/coach of Yallourn Football Club (1968-69) and coal sometimes caused problems over the beautiful English village. The washing would need a re-wash and my now healthy 52-year-old son would arrive home from kindergarten and need a bath.

Driving past these days, little white puffs of steam emerge. Nothing like the photos we see.

So please “crap” writers, apologise to [former prime minister Tony] Abbott.

Don Palmer, Dromana

Pt Nepean a haven I recently visited the former Quarantine Station at Point Nepean National Park, Portsea, which was later used to house army medical staff. My friend and I were disgusted when we saw empty buildings which had been lying idle for many years that could be used to house the homeless, or refugees.

We have a public housing crisis with people living in parks and bus shelters, children living behind barbed wire in refugee camps and the threat of civil war in Israel.

Charity groups like the Salvos, St Vincent De Paul, Hanover and Mission Australia continue to scream out for facilities each day, yet I cannot understand why these perfectly good, solid buildings are only maintained by a couple of window cleaners just to please the tourist trade.

My sister, who passed away at Easter, worked for Hanover and later Mission Australia as a case manager, and was always struggling to find suitable accommodation, just like the other charities.

Why does a Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor want to spend $100 million on offices to house pen pushers when there are more important issues to consider?

It’s about time the politicians and shire – which spends millions on leisure centres, yacht clubs and tourism – got their priorities in order.

Coal fuels a hot spring debate over MP EMU can hear a strange but familiar sound. It is coming from the garden, where his Blushing Bride is sitting in bright spring sun, reading the local newspaper. Luckily, that week’s paper contained no revelations about the goings-on at Emu Ruo, the Emu ancestral pile.

It is a sort of gasping-huffing noise vaguely recalled from long ago. A mystery sound. Emu concentrates.

That’s it! The sound of a steam train at rest. Emu has a flashback to his youth, of climbing into the driver’s cab of a steam loco that was gently gasping and chuffing on a goods siding in his little town, awaiting the call.

Those locos were alive, he and his mates thought, thrilling at the possibility of being taken for an unscheduled adventure. Then came diesels, dead and dead boring, their drivers’ compartment locked against roving boys.

Outside, the sound was growing.

Then the scrape of a chair. Emu braced. The bride, light of his life, was astir. She was ingressing Emu’s lair.

“This paper,” she began in an accusing tone, brandishing the publication, “is making Greg Hunt’s

PAGE 14

life miserable. You must have a word with the editor. All these protesters gathering at his office, carrying coal.

Your reporting is just encouraging them.”

Emu’s beak opened and closed several times but wisely (he thought) he remained mute. “His” reporting?

Is such news “his” fault?

“He’s doing good work for Australia,” the BB went on, “approving coal mines so less fortunate people overseas can have electricity. And we make friends with rich Indians.”

Emu is subjected to the pitiless summer glow of her glare. “And they’re filming him – against his wishes. What’s happened to manners?”

For readers who are unaware, Mr Hunt, federal MP for the electorate named Flinders, which encompasses the Mornington Peninsula, the Western Port islands and farther-flung lands, is the nation’s environment

Western Port News 27 October 2015

guardian.

He has been in lively dispute with a protest group, GetUp, over his stance on coal mined in Queensland exported from a port adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, particularly a mine owned by Adani, a giant Indian outfit with what some claim is a coalcoloured reputation.

“Look at what he’s doing, that nice young Mr Hunt,” exclaims Mrs Emu. “He’s bending over backwards to make sure the Great Barrier Reef is protected. He’s put 36 strict conditions on the Carmichael mine. The reef will be snug as a bug in a rug.

No problems there.”

Emu has brought the errant beak under control and is keeping it tight.

He knows of the spouse’s devotion to Mr Hunt. She knew, and was devoted to, his father, Alan, also an environmental guardian in his day. Only trouble lies in alternative views on the Hunts, pere et fils, as GetUp has found, somewhat to its delight.

“He understands the greenies’ passion to protect the reef. He went out on to the footpath from his office to talk with them,” Mrs Emu says, glancing at the front page for the facts.

“But he didn’t expect such a large crowd – he was outnumbered. And then he saw the cameraman. It was the last straw! It seems a politician can’t meet people in a public place nowadays without having a camera poked in his face. He told the cameraman to stop and that should have been the end of it.”

Emu’s beak is quivering under the pressure of pent-up withheld arguments about politicians and cameras when it suits them to talk. His iron will is saving the day.

The BB, fragrant blossom of his heart, has had her say. She swivels abruptly and huffs and puffs back to the sunshine, leaving an afterglow of indignation.

Emu collects his thoughts and relaxes the beak-clamping muscles.

He has boggled over the defence of the gargantuan new coal mine as a splendid moral decision – surely politicians can’t believe some of the rot they spout – and the suggestion that opponents of such projects should be legally barred from trying to stop them.

The huff-puff has subsided. But now Emu is steamed up.

Can defence of a coal mine logi-

cally be supported because it will create thousands of jobs? Will it do that? What will these workers do?

Service the giant driverless trucks that now cart coal?

And will the argument be trotted out to support, say, an employment revival plan involving button-up boots and horse-drawn hansom cabs?

Or local plants making modern vehicles without the help of robots?

Coal is redundant and damaging.

It must be phased out. It is an enemy of the environment – Mr Hunt’s portfolio responsibility – its choking carbon emissions damaging air quality and dangerously raising the global temperature. Coking, steaming or brown, coal damages the planet.

But Emu sympathises with Mr Hunt. Even under his new, improved leader, there are barbarians around the cabinet table, pushing the fatally filthy stuff. He, like all politicians, wants to control the message.

Cameramen and reporters don’t help when they rock up uninvited to record events that don’t involve baby kissing.

But for heaven’s sake, don’t tell the fragrant blossom that these are Emu’s thoughts.

Sky’s the limit: Evocca College markets itself as a springboard for students to further their education and career.

Picture: Gary Sissons

College’s marketing to students slammed Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A COLLEGE with a campus in Frankston has been criticised over its marketing practices in a Senate inquiry into the funding and management of vocational education and training (VET) providers and by an education sector regulator.

The Senate inquiry report released this month named Evocca College as one of several registered training organisations (RTOs) across Australia to face accusations of targeting vulnerable students with little or no chance of completing courses to boost enrolment numbers and hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of profits.

Evocca denied the allegations in submissions to the inquiry.

The inquiry found evidence of “rampant abuse” by privately owned RTOs and called on the federal government to immediately reviewing funding of courses and the imposition of minimum standards for students eligibility to protect “the most vulnerable members of the community, including the long-term unemployed or disadvantaged, migrants and people with disabilities”.

Students receive federal VET FEEHELP funding, paid for by taxpayers, to pay colleges such as Evocca for training and courses. Students

do not have to repay fees to the federal government until they earn at least $50,000 per year.

Queensland-based Evocca College, which has more than 40 campuses across the country including a campus at Balmoral St in Frankston, markets itself as an education pathway provider to further study at university. The college also offers courses to “upskill” career prospects.

The Senate report revealed payments to Evocca, mostly stumped up by taxpayers via federal government VET FEE-HELP funding, soared from $1.83 million in 2011 to $131.25 million in 2014.

A substantial amount of the money paid to RTOs such as Evocca is unlikely to ever be repaid, according to the Senate inquiry findings.

The Senate committee recommended that “given the evidence of rampant abuse, accelerating costs, and doubling of bad debt the government launches an immediate review into the operation and regulation of VET FEE-HELP.” Colleges were slammed by the Senate committee for offering so-called “free” iPads and laptops to entice students to sign up for courses costing up to $20,000 per year.

The Senate inquiry noted a former tutor with Evocca College “expressed her concerns about seeing this technique in practice in the college’s marketing, particularly as it focused on

people for whom a ‘free’ computer or tablet would be a significant drawcard”.

“I found the approach taken to recruit and screen students inappropriate. Promotional stands were set up in shopping centres during business hours, with iPads being the main promotional tool to attract students. Disadvantaged, unemployed people appeared to be Evocca’s main target audience,” former tutor Julie Skinner told the inquiry.

“I’m sure many people signed up because they were delighted to be getting a ‘free’ iPad when in fact they didn’t really understand they were signing up for a $20,000 iPad.” In a submission to the Senate committee, Evocca claimed Ms Skinner had raised no objections to the college’s marketing or teaching methods while an employee.

“Evocca’s mindset is that of educational experience. All staff believe that if a student is capable and willing to study, there should be no barriers preventing them from gaining an education,” its counter submission stated.

“The Evocca teaching model is based on doing everything we can to support students and ensure that they remain as engaged as possible, with a robust system in place for the ongoing management of students, including regular one-to-one catch ups with tutors, to ensure that these objectives are achieved.”

The Senate’s final report on VET providers was released on Friday 16 October and last week the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), a federal government watchdog, released the findings of its audit on 21 private colleges after a jump in student complaints about VET FEE-HELP. The ASQA said just eight of the 21 education providers audited were fully compliant with VET FEE-HELP regulations.

One company, Phoenix Institute, had its registration for VET FEE-HELP revoked and six providers will face “ongoing regulatory scrutiny”.

Evocca was one of seven colleges “able to demonstrate full compliance with the relevant requirements at the conclusion of the audit”, the ASQA said.

The ASQA chief commissioner Chris Robinson will work with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, consumer law agencies and the Department of Education and Training to monitor all RTOs’ compliance with VET FEE-HELP regulations.

The audit by the ASQA found Evocca College had “non-compliance with the Standards regarding the RTO’s assessment system, the accuracy of its marketing, and its complaint and appeals policies and procedures”.

“In response, the RTO provided rectification evidence of how it had

addressed these matters,” the ASQA report noted.

Evocca has had conditions imposed on its operations and must now “retain enrolment and assessment records for 12 months” and “report data back to [the] ASQA on a regular basis”.

Evocca College referred The News to a media statement previously released

by CEO Craig White when questioned about the Senate report findings and the conditions imposed by the ASQA. “We look forward to continuing to provide ASQA with any information that it may request,” Mr White in the statement.

“As an industry leader we fully support the various legislation and initiatives that have been and will be put in place that will assist in ensuring a quality regulated industry for students.”

Evocca founder Robert Gordon stepped down as CEO in June following allegations about “unethical practices and low graduation rates” aired on ABC’s 7.30 Report.

ABC reported Evocca had received more than $400 million in VET-FEE HELP funding nationally.

Evocca did not reply before publication to questions about graduation rates at its Frankston campus and VETFEE HELP funding repayments by Frankston students.

Time for swimming lessons again AS summer approaches and the cooler months are left behind, thoughts turn to beach, pool and water play. YMCA Somerville runs swimming lesson 6 days a week catering for babies from as young as 6 months old all the way through to Adults and all swimming abilities. The YMCA feels 6 months of age is the minimum age appropriate to commence babies’ water familiarisation.

They believe that swimming lessons are not just learning freestyle, backstroke and improving stroke technique and competitive skills.

Overall water safety is also a main focus. Each level of their programs are designed to teach children the water safety skills they require to be confident in a variety of aquatic environments.

Nationally accredited Swimming Instructors are passionate about teaching every child. Each

instructor takes the time to ensure children are engaged and happy and have the correct environment to learn. The YMCA Swimming Lessons program ensures consistency and progress while remaining enjoyable and varied. Children progress through swimming lesson levels at their own pace with a recognition certificate issued after each level is completed so parents understand the skills their child has learned.

YMCA Somerville also caters to mature swimmers with Adult swimming lessons.

Alarming statistics released by Lifesaving Victoria reveal an increase in drowning deaths in the mature age group. YMCA Somerville encourages water safety skills to be learned or improved regardless of age.

YMCA Somerville is at 55 Grant Road, Somerville.

All smiles for local dental practice anniversary

Hair Salon

“THIS year has passed so quickly,” said Dr Pilar Wright and Gisella Villavicencio, who have been working so hard in establishing their Somerville dental practice they couldn’t believe their first anniversary was upon them. “It seems like yesterday that we opened our doors.”

Somerville Family Dental Care has quickly become a popular choice for dental services among the local community. The dentists ‘gentle touch and the caring team at the practice ensure all patients feel welcome and safe. The first anniversary event last Saturday showed how quickly they have made connections and friendships, with many patients joining in the celebrations.

Dr’s Pilar and Gisella wanted to sincerely thank all the people who have supported and assisted them during this past year so they threw the doors open to give everyone a great time.

Breakfast and refreshments were provided and the kids had a ball with face-painting, a piñata, and a special visit from the Tooth Fairy.

During the speeches at the Somerville Family

Dental Care first anniversary event, Dr’s Pilar and Gisella stated that their parents instilled in them a strong work ethic and taught them the importance of hard work, to never give up and to fight for your dreams. It was a special moment when their first patient, Di Cummins, received a gift of recognition and delivered a lovely response relating to her experience as a patient. Di then drew the lucky winner of the eagerly awaited ‘Free Teeth Whitening’ door prize, which as chance would have it was won by her sister.

These delightful dentists have quickly fallen in love with Somerville; Pilar has already moved here with her family, and Gisella and her husband won’t be far behind.

They invite all members of the community to feel free to call in, say hello and experience the warm environment they have created at 1163 Frankston-Flinders Road. New patients are welcome and appointments can be made by calling 5977 7704.

Ice epidemic forum in Hastings

Health Care Professionals

ATTICUS Health is proud to announce â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Responding To Communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forums, an initiative designed to empower the community of Hastings to have a voice. The first event will address the ICE epidemic and its impact on the community and is open to users, families and friends, local stakeholders, community leader, elders and support services.

This is an opportunity to come together to learn about Methamphetamine, how to support a friend, treatment and referral pathways and how we can collaboratively move forward to address our local needs. Guest speakers include Maria Cassar (Psychologist), Glenn Munso (founder of Youth You Program), Bunjilwarra (Koori Youth Alcohol and Drug Healing Service) and Peninsula Health.

The Forum will be held at Atticus Regional Medicentre, 2104 Frankston Flinders Rd, Hastings on Wednesday November 18, 6.30pm-8.30pm.

Throughout the year, a variety of RTC forums will be held, addressing the needs and the gaps in our community. If you have any thoughts about a topic that you would like us to address, please feel free to get in touch.

For registration or further information please contact Atticus Regional Medicentre, 2104 Frankston Flinders Road, Hastings.

Western Port

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Such is our commitment to outstanding patient care.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Atticus Regional Medicentre – committed to helping you get “there”

Diamond Denture Studio As one of the leading denture clinics on the peninsula, Diamond Dentures provides a range of services including manufacturing and repairing of quality precision dentures, custom fitted sports mouth guards and same day services.

Having worked in the industry for over 35 years, dental prosthetist, Tony Finn decided it was time to open a denture clinic in Hastings and did so three years ago.

“We provide dentures using the most advanced techniques combining and with the creative flair of our technicians, we will provide you with natural looking and comfortable new dentures,” said Tony, who understands that it takes individualized treatment and consultation to satisfy each patient’s requirements.

“We do all types of dentures from full to partial. It doesn’t matter if it is one tooth that is lost or the majority of them, it all has an effect on your teeth eventually,” said Tony. “A lot

of people think if a back tooth falls out not to worry but, in time, that may cause the teeth in the front to become gapped as they compensate and shift.”

When you go to see Tony at Diamond Dentures, he will determine what your denture requirements are and how to meet them, using state of the art technology.

“We also do denture repairs and offer ongoing treatment so you can come back and make sure your dentures are still working for you after a couple of years.”

As well and full and partial dentures, Diamond Dentures also do custom fitted mouth guards and sports mouth guards.

Diamond Dentures is at 190 High Street, Hastings, opposite the Community Health Centre.

EVERY DAY TWO WOMEN UNDER 40 ARE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER. Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be an expert or use a special technique. Take the time to get to know the normal look and feel of your breasts as part of your daily routine, for example, while showering, dressing or looking in the mirror. Knowing what is normal for you will help you to detect any new breast changes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too early to start being breast aware.

CHANGES TO LOOK FOR INCLUDE: - a new lump or lumpiness, especially if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only in one breast - a change in the size or shape of your breast - a change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion - a nipple discharge - a change in the skin of your breast such as redness or dimpling - an unusual pain that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away.

Most breast changes are not due to cancer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but see your doctor to be sure. ,I \RX Ă&#x20AC;QG D EUHDVW FKDQJH WKDW LV QHZ RU XQXVXDO IRU \RX see your GP without delay.

KNOWING YOUR BREASTS COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Message in a bottle finds way home Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday, when there will be a good muster of cattle, etc., as advertised. *** OWING to Tuesday next, November 2 (Cup Day), being proclaimed a public holiday there will only be the one delivery of letters—in the morning—at Frankston Post Office. There will also be only the morning despatch of mails. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council will be held at Somerville on Thursday next, at which tenders will be received for a number of works which are advertised in an other column. *** WE are pleased to note that Captain Sherlock has so far recovered from the severe injuries received by him while in camp at Seymour, that he has now left the hospital and is allowed to return to his home at Frankston. *** AT St Paul’s Church, Frankston, last Sunday, the whole of the collections were in aid of the Hospital Fund. The amount received (£4 6s 6d), was very gratifying — being more than has been given even at most prosperous times. *** THE preacher at St Paul’s Church Frankston, tomorrow (Sunday) night, will be Rev A. J. Thompson of Tyabb and Somerville. Rev G. A. Kitchen will be preaching at Tyabb, in connec-

tion with the Church Festival. *** ATTENTION is drawn to Messrs Brody and Mason’s advertisement in another column, of an extensive clearing sale of household furniture and sundries, which takes place today (Saturday) at their mart, Bay street, Frankston, where the goods have been brought from Oakleigh and district for convenience of sale. The sale is a large and miscellaneous one, and will commence at 2 o’clock punctually. *** THE Langwarrin Tennis Club has just completed another tournament for a prize donated by the club, the victor being Mr C. Ludwig. This is the second tournament this year. The previous one fell to Mr H. Carrs, the trophy being a very fine racket and press, the gift of the president of the club, Mr W. Williams, of Rupertstan.

The arrangements were well carried out by the hon. sec., Miss Kelso. It is proposed to have an afternoon party today at the court when the trophy will be presented to Mr Ludwig. Arrangements are in progress for a return match with Clyde at an early date. *** AN interesting lecturette will be given in the Somerville Agricultural Hall on Friday evening next entitled, “The Errors and Graces of Speech,” “Literature and the War,” by Mr Robert Jones, Principal of the Individual Tuition College, Melbourne, the funds to be given to the Somerville Red Cross Society.

Mr Jones is giving his services free of

expense to the society. From the title of the lecture it should prove intellectual and humorous, and those attending besides benefiting a worthy object will enjoy a pleasant and profitable evening. *** AN interesting lecture was delivered in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Thursday evening, by Professor Mudd, on behalf of the Methodist Home Mission Fund. The title of the lecture was “ Will we win this war”.

The chair was occupied by Professor Adams, of Ormond College, and there was a good attendance, who were kept thoroughly interested for upwards of two hours.

The lecturer was quite convinced that victory would eventually be won by the Allies, and based his belief on the superiority of the British both in numbers and valor, and also quoting ancient history in proof of his argument that might never yet overcome right, and that the Kaiser and his following would eventually have to bow to the inevitable.

A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the Professor on the conclusion of the lecture. *** THE annual installation and investiture of officers of the New Frankston Lodge, No 217, took place on Friday last in the Lodge Room. The ceremony was performed by grand lodge officers. There was also a good attendance of members from sister lodges.

The following officers were duly in stalled:—W.M. Bro W. P. Mason;

I.P.M. Wor Bro G. May; S.M. Bro J. A. Benson; J.W. Bro W. Armstrong; Treasurer, Bro. F. G. Plummer; Secretary, Bro, Mark Brody; DC., Wor. Bro. W. H. Schultz; Almoner, Wor. Bro. T. S. Robinson; S.D., Bro. W. M. Hanton; J.D., Bro F. G. Hanton ; Inner Guard. Bro E M. M’Comb; Tyler, Wor Bro T. Nichols; Stewards, Bros C. E. Wood, W. M. Billings and S. B. Fletcher.

At the conclusion of the business the brethren were invited to a banquet, at which the usual masonic toasts were duly honored and responded to. A good programme of songs and recitations was rendered during the evening, and a most enjoyable time was spent. *** WHILE walking along the beach, near the Mile Bridge, Frankston, a few days ago, Mr J. Reynolds picked up a sealed bottle, and on opening it found a sheet of paper with the following writing on it :—”Private Westaback.— Received bottle of wine, saved six lives. Return bottle to owner, Mrs. O. Windley, Empire Theatre, Coventry street, South Melbourne—Love to Ethel— G. O Downing, S. Warwick, D. Mc’Cormick.”

Mr Reynolds followed out the instructions and forwarded the note to address named, and received the following letter in reply.—”Empire Theatre, Coventry St, South Melbourne.—Dear Sir.— Just a line to let you know we received the note you found in the bottle.

It was thrown off the transport — last Monday week by my husband. I

sent him a parcel just before the boat sailed, and the bottle of wine was in it.

I suppose they thought there might be a chance of someone finding it, I was very pleased to get it. The lady it was addressed to was his sister, and she gave it to me. The names of the men on the back were his mates, I expect he put them there to let us know who had it. Thanking you for your kindness. I remain yours.—E. Westerbeck.” *** IN response to the appeal from Gallipoli for Sugar Bags, the Frankston branch will receive and forward to the Melbourne Town Hall any bags that are available from this district. They may be left at the Mechanics’ every second Wednesday (November 10th, November 24th, and December 8th) or with any member of the Committee.

The size required is the 70lb bag, and it is requested that if possible each should be patched, and that a tape should be sewn at one side about quarter distance from the top. The third installment of articles, sent away from the Frankston branch to the Central Depot, Federal Government house, on the 13th October consisted of five cases containing:—22 flannel shirts, 10 cotton shirts, 4 cotton pyjama suits 3 flannelette pyjama suits, 70 pr socks, 9 surgeon’s gowns 12 pillow-slips, 12 hospital bags 6 hospital bags, 6 face washers, 3 helmets, 3prs mittens, 3 prs slippers, 1 kid-lined vest, 1 drawsheet, 80 bandages.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Fozzie, Fozzie, Fozzie; Oi, Oi, Oi

By Stuart McCullough THEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S no other way of saying it: everything has changed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a case of a few cushions here or a stick of furniture there; life has altered in a manner that is far more fundamental. Instead of our old life where we did what we wanted when we wanted, we are now in a perpetual state of readiness, in which are spring-loaded to leap to attention in an instant. For the ranks of our household have swollen from two to three after the arrival of our dog. Already I have been asked what having a puppy has been like. I answer that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot like having a demanding houseguest, albeit one whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacularly incontinent.

We named her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fozzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This is partly because she sort-of looks like a bear but mostly because my wife wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me call her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beyonceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We consulted far and wide as to a suitable name and receive a veritable avalanche of suggestions including â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lunaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cinderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and (my personal favourite) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Patriciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The true test of a dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is whether you are willing to yell it out whilst at the local dog park. It was on this basis, that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beyonceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was discounted from consideration at an early stage. However, as with any name, a number of variations have already developed, including, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fozzie-a-tronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fozz-o-maticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fozz-tasticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fozzaliciousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Remarkably, she responds to all of these.

But having a dog means change by the bucket load. As someone who is not so much resistant to change as flatout allergic to it, this presents all manner of challenges. These started early

when my sixteen year-old nephew Jake and I were directed to take a trip to the local pet store for things the pup could chew on. Specifically, we were told to purchase an item made (and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just no delicate way to put this)

of bovine genitals.

I am not the kind of person who feels comfortable walking into a shop, slapping my hand down on the counter and then demanding, in a loud and clear voice, to be directed to the supply of

gift-wrapped.

Our living room has been transformed. Aside from the occasional bully stick, there are weird soft toys everywhere. I have named them all.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Captain Octopusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Super Duckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Justin Beaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and some blue thing that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite identify as being anything in particular and which I may end up calling â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Le Freakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Then there are all kinds of chew toys, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kongsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (which are kind of like canine Pez dispensers), ropes and tug toys.

Whereas once our house neat and pristine, with cushions artfully positioned beside books and magazines, it now looks like a dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treasure chest has recently exploded.

Training continues apace. So far, we have mastered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rolloverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Now we just need to teach these things to the dog and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be set.

Granted, there have been some unfortunate incidents of which I do not wish to say too much, save that it has completely transformed my relationship to urine. Whilst sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning quickly, I beginning to suspect that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been too ambitious. Granted, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still early days. But at this stage my plans to teach Fozzie how to dive a manual arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking too flash.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if I was mentally unready or whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really possible to prepare for a change of this magnitude. Soon, though, what is novel will become routine. What now feels like upheaval will simply be a part of everyday life. So be it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny that something so small and furry should teach us exactly that. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

bull junk. Rather, this is a delicate task that requires the upmost of discretion.

The trouble with an item like this is that, for reasons of general politeness, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destined to be called something other than what it is. But, try as we might, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify anything that might be some poor creatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family jewels. Despite our best efforts, we had to ask for help.

The weird thing about pet stores is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like Dr. Frankensteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laboratory, with ears and snouts and other assorted bits of anatomy available for purchase. Inevitably, those working at the pet store were all young and female, which added substantially to the general level of creepiness involved. Rather than flat-out ask, I decided to embark on a far more subtle form of interrogation. I started by asking whether the store could recommend something for a dog to chew. A mere three hours later, an exhausted shop assistant introduced Jake and I to something called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the bully stickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Gently, I enquired as to the ingredients, whereupon the sales assistant turned a deep shade of puce before admitting that a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bully stickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was, in fact, the former family jewels of a certain quadruped.

Glory be, our epic search was over!

Better yet, we had managed to track down the elusive â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bully stickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; without having to ask for its contents by name.

However, much of our good work was undone when, upon hearing that a bully stick was, indeed, bull genitals, my nephew and I responded by punching the sky and high-fiving. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take two!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I cried, before demanding that they be

THE BASICS: THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME

By Neil Walker GOTYE has gone back to The Basics and the band is dropping in on Mornington as part of their national tour in support of their latest The Age of Entitlement album.

Guitarist Tim Heath says The Basics drummer Wally De Backer, known as the solo artist Gotye, is heading back to Australia from the US where he is recording the follow-up to his commercially successful Making Mirrors album which spawned the global smash Somebody That I Used To Know.

Heath says November’s Mornington gig, the last in the tour, will be “pretty energetic and perhaps emotional” amid hints The Basics may call it a day.

Although if the band does break up permanently it will not be due to any jealousy or bitchiness over De Backer’s success as Gotye.

Far from being somebody that Gotye’s longterm bandmates used to know, Heath joked De Backer’s modesty and ability to remain unfazed by commercial success means The Basics, who have been together since 2004, are able to work together again without any egomania dominating proceedings.

Heath admits though that he, De Backer and bassist Kris Schroeder now play shorter tours when they hit the road.

“I think we really enjoy playing together and in the last few years we’ve sort of done it sporadically and the tours have been shorter because the older you get the harder it is to go on the road. You get tired and grumpy more easily so we’ve sort of made them shorter so our tempers don’t flare as much.”

Gotye’s global success hasn’t put a downer on The Basics. Heath admits it was “surreal” but “fantastic” to see and hear Somebody That I Used To Know, featuring Kimbra, suddenly take off across the world.

“We had a three-year hiatus and in that time

I was in France, Spain and Portugal and that was when the song really went big. I’d hear it on every radio station in those countries.

“Wally never really talks himself up and I don’t think he sees certain achievements that others would so highly. When he got nominated for a Grammy I was on the phone to him that day and having a regular chat. I didn’t know about it and he didn’t even mention it.”

As for The Basics the latest tour comes in the wake of the release of the band’s eighth album called The Age of Entitlement, a phrase used by the now departed Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey who described the country as “a nation of lifters, not leaners” when he delivered his controversial 2014 budget which many regarded as unfair on poorer Australians.

It’s a departure from The Basics’ indie-pop rock roots and sees the band addressing the state and shame of the nation as they see it.

Schroeder wrote most of the songs for The Age of Entitlement album before The Basics headed off to the UK to record the tracks at the Abbey Road Studios in London, made famous by The Beatles who often recorded there and named their 1969 Abbey Road album in its honour.

“Kris came back with some songs that were political and Wally and I looked at each other and went ‘this is a bit different’ but I think we all agreed that the sentiment was something we all shared and agreed on,” Heath said.

“The songs seemed to me not so much political but more social. A comment about culture and a part of the Australian psyche that was becoming complacent, complaining about things but not doing a lot about it.”

The opening lines from album opener Whatever Happened to the Working Class? leaves listeners in no doubt about who The Basics

mostly blame for Australia’s cultural malaise: ‘Whatever happened to the working class?/ We’ve got politicians sitting on their arse/ Whittling away at the few rights that we’ve got left/I was listening to the radio and how big business stole the show and I wonder ‘who’s there to stop them now?’’.

The not so great Australian public are also condemned for their indifference to politics in the album’s lyrics.

Heath notes: “I think most Australians are very lucky to be able to live relatively comfortably and it’s quite easy to forget we’re quite safe in our houses compared to most people in the world and that things like big-screen televisions and swimming pools start to take up most of what’s been discussed or thought about by a certain section of the community.”

The Basics themselves decided to “have a go” at politics to show complacency enables politicians to often fail to represent their community’s best interests.

The Basics Rock’n’Roll Party registered to contest an Upper House seat at last year’s Victorian election. Heath says winning a seat was always a long shot but the party’s formation “was a way to show people could go out and become a politician and try to change things rather than just sit on the couch and complain about it”.

“It started off as an idea to show people who are generally pissed off with the state of Australian politics who feel disempowered somewhat that anyone can start a political party.

All you need is members and then you’re on the ballot paper. We hoped that people would see that and think they may give it a go next time. So it’ll be interesting to see if it had any effect.”

Recording The Age of Entitlement was a dream come true for The Basics since the trio

are big fans of The Beatles, Heath said.

“The first time we walked in it was pretty amazing. I was pretty speechless because everything is quite original but it’s also a working studio.

“You’re walking down the corridors and there’s old tape machines that have been used since the ‘40s and ‘50s and of course Studio Two where The Beatles recorded still looks the same so you look at photos of them and then you walk in there and it’s amazing.

“All the microphones are still there. For one take we did the engineer called for ‘the John Lennon microphone’. It’s really cool and neat they haven’t sold it or auctioned it off to a museum or something.”

“I recorded a couple of tracks on a piano they recorded A Day in the Life on ... just to sit there ... is kind of surreal.”

As hinted earlier, The Basics future days in the life are clouded but, if the Mornington gig is the end of the road forever for the band, Heath reckons The Age of Entitlement is as good a way as any to go out raging against the dying of the light (on the hill).

Not many bands speak out about how politics shapes culture now after protest music peaked in the 1970s and early 1980s.

“It may be one of the last records we make, I’m not sure,” Heath said.

“Maybe we thought it is time to maybe make a comment on Australian society. I think sometimes it is important for artists to make people think politically and socially ... and show a different perspective on the world.”

The Basics play The Grand Hotel, 124 Main Street Mornington on Sunday 1 November, doors open 7pm. Tickets $25. See moshtix. com.au or call The Grand Hotel on 03 5975 2001.

scoreboard Baxter rocket up to fourth PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully BAXTER rocketed from the bottom of the MPCA Provincial ladder to the top four on Saturday after a demolition on Rye that resulted in an outright win.

After scoring a very modest 205 with just three batsmen making double figures, the Baxter bowlers then went to work and knocked over 18 wickets on the second day.

Rye resumed at 2/12 on Saturday and added just six runs before the wickets started to tumble again.

Andrew Hitchener (17) and Dean Collins (12) were the only Demons to get into double figures.

Rye was dismissed the first time

around in the 30th over for just 48.

Chamika Sattambi took 6/17 off 10.3 overs and Dale Irving helped himself to 3/21.

Rye faired a little better in the second innings, however, it didn’t stop them from being rolled for 88.

Hitchener again top scored with 21.

Ben Matters was the pick of the bowlers for Baxter in the second innings, picking-up 4/30, while Irving took 3/38 off 11.

Mornington got its season back on track after beating Moorooduc in a close one.

Defending 177, Mornington had the Ducs in some early strife at the conclusion of day one at 3/30 with Luke Popov claiming 2/12.

However, Leigh Lambert (37) and

Panthers set the early pace DISTRICT

By IT Gully RED HILL, Seaford, Pearcedale and Baden Powell hold the top four positions on the MPCA District ladder after just two rounds.

Pearcedale could be considered the surprise packet of the quartet, given the Panthers are the new kids on the block in District ranks.

However, when you pull-in a recruit such as Shane Maggs, who has been playing District cricket for more than 10 years, your fortunes are going to change considerably.

On Saturday, Maggs snared 3/12 and 4/49 as Pearcedale destroyed Boneo.

Defending a whopping 288, the Panthers then rolled the Pandas for 72 with Maggs taking three and Kane Smith (3/18) and Shayne Gillings (2/10) also getting in on the act.

The home side was forced to put the pads on again and have a second crack. They faired better but still lost 6/99 before the game was called to a close.

Cam Williams scored an unbeaten 42 in the second innings to save Boneo from an embaressing outright defeat.

Red Hill resumed at 4/44 against Carrum, chasing 152. The game was in the balance at the beginning of day two.

However, by the end of the day’s play, the Hillmen had against flexed their collective muscles and made an opposition look second rate.

The visitors amassed 8/299 with Matt Merifield belting 132 before being run out.

Skipper Simon Dart helped himself to 84 and Luke Toy scored 25. Red Hill batted for 86 overs.

Jeremy Graves had 3/16 overnight for the Lions and finished with 3/52.

Baden Powell made light work of Seaford Tigers, scoring 9/236 in reply to the Tigers 126.

Resuming at 1/89, the Braves were just 38 runs away from victory with

PAGE 64

nine wickets in hand when play on day two resumed.

The Braves lost their second wicket with the score on 115 and by the time the third wicket fell, they had won the game.

Opener Tom Wood top scored for the Braves with 84, while Ryan Barnett scored an unbeaten 50.

Matty Meagher picked-up 4/66 to be the best of the Tigers’ bowlers, while Corey Hand snared 3/55.

Seaford kept the pressure on Main Ridge in their contest on day two to win by 36 runs.

Resuming at 3/41, chasing Seaford’s 201, the Ridge looked good early with Gareth Wyatt (67) and Billy Sakalis (55) taking the score to 128 without loss.

However, 3/128 quickly became 6/142 and the Ridge were in a world of pain.

Paul Hartle was the pick of the bowlers with 4/42, while Tiron Fernando claimed 3/37 on debut.

An ‘oh so close’ century to Nick Christides (99) guided Delacombe Park to a strong win against Mt Martha.

Joel Malcolm was also solid for the Parkers with 46 to help them to 223, chasing 188 for victory.

Kyle Bendle was the pick of the Mt Martha bowlers with 6/46.

Western Port News 27 October 2015

Michael Whincup (37) offered some resistance in the middle order and took the score past 100 for the loss of just four wickets.

The Ducs then lost 4/17 and the Doggies were back in command.

Sam Adams (14) and Ross Cordeux (10) gave the home side a sniff late in the game and got the score to 164 before Jack Heseltine picked-up his second wicket and handed Mornington the 12 points.

Chasing 238, Sorrento cruised past the target with the loss of just two wickets.

Nick Jewell was not out 84 at the conclusion of the 67th over when

Sorrento past the total, while Jedd Falck was not out at the other end on 65.

Earlier, opener Kane Gordon scored 52 and put-on a 52-run opening partnership with Corey Harris (22).

Somerville’s Matty Roach was named the RPP player of the match after he picked-up 4/44 to help his side to a comfortable 79-run win against Mt Eliza.

The Eagles started well and had the Redlegs 2/10 before Justin Grant (54) come to the crease.

However, other than Matthew Travena, who scored 39, the Redlegs were never in the contest.

While Roach claimed four wickets, Jack Kennedy snared 3/54 and Russell Wilkes 3/23.

Peninsula Old Boys made light work of Crib Point, winning by almost 200 runs.

Defending 8/301, the Old Boys worked the Magpies over and rolled them in the 56th over for just 108.

Rob Hearn top scored for the Pies with 30.

Long Island had no problems defending its 9/263 against Pines.

Pines was bowled out for 188 in the 69th over, thanks largely to 30 runs each from number nine and 10 batsmen Nick Wilcox and Rick Anstiss.

Earlier in the day, Craig Entwhistle top scored with 73 for Pines.

Scott Phillips was dominant for the Islanders with 6/67 from 25 overs, while Jake Middleton and Andrew Tweddle claimed two wickets each.

The Frenchman got the job done for the Frogs, Rob scoring 82 and Travis 63.

Mitsubishi premier their eX concept SUV THE Mitsubishi eX Concept is a vision for a compact SUV powered by a next-generation EV system.

In terms of design, it evokes the image of a city-friendly sports crossover and merges the elegance and stylishness of a “shooting brake” (a term for a coupé with flowing styling fused with a hatchback car, the term originates from British hunting-use horse carriages) with compact SUV lines.

The front end expresses a new interpretation of MMC’s Dynamic Shield front design concept. In both its exterior and interior, the Mitsubishi eX Concept indicates future direction of MMC Design.

The next-generation EV system employs a high-capacity and highperformance battery together with compact high-output electric motors making it lighter and more efficient.

With further weight reductions in the vehicle itself, it can provide a cruising range of 400 km.

Installing the drive battery beneath the body has lowered the centre of gravity and together with its Twin Motor 4WD and S-AWC integrated vehicle dynamics control system, helps provide handling control which faithfully reflects driver inputs as well as outstanding vehicle stability.

The Mitsubishi eX Concept is a next-generation SUV a step ahead of EVs to date.

Other features include the application of automated driving technology which combines connected car systems, utilising next-generation information services and advanced

active safety technology.

Mitsubishi’s eX Concept quickly and precisely utilises its safety features to detect malfunctions or abnormalities early and advises the driver to take the vehicle in for repair or servicing.

Exterior Design The Mitsubishi eX Concept’s active, pulsating design uses a very dense, solid form that gives it a strong presence, looking as if it has been carved from a single block, as well as marrying the elegance and stylishness of a “shooting brake” car

with the lines of a compact SUV. While the luggage compartment provides ample space for outdoor gear, the Mitsubishi eX Concept establishes styling which evokes an image of a sports crossover zipping nimbly around town.

The front is a new interpretation of the MMC Dynamic Shield design concept. For the Mitsubishi eX Concept, the design takes a slightly more functional direction.

In addition to the visual expression of the “shield” shape, to protect people and the car alike, its daytime running lamps and the turning

signal in the top are more visible to pedestrians while the headlights are located under the ends of the bumper to prevent blinding oncoming vehicles and pedestrians.

Another element that serves to enhance a feeling of reassurance is the use of rubber coating on the underside and the sides of the fascia where contact is possible with people or obstacles.

Interior The easy-access doors without centre pillars lead occupants into a pleasing interior space.

To also express what defines a “shooting brake” car inside the Mitsubishi eX Concept, the driver and passenger seats use different colours to give each side a different ambience, making for an interior space which is both sporty but also bright refined and spacious overall.

The use of a framed structure covered with soft-touch material for the dashboard and other major elements of the front compartment not only creates a sense of being light in weight visually – the car’s structure actually reduces its weight.

The centre console houses two portable batteries which can be used outside of the car to support the active lifestyles.

The Mitsubishi eX Concept also employs an augmented reality (AR) as well as the Intelligent Display located in the centre of the instrument housing to give information to the driver.

Linking to an information network using connected car technology, the Mitsubishi eX Concept brings new ways of enjoying the in-car experience.

Employing augmented reality technology, information acquired through connected car system is displayed on the windscreen.

Displaying information within their forward field of vision allows drivers to view changes in road conditions without having to make major movements beyond their line of sight.
