Cry for help alerts rescuer to drowning Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MAN’S cry for help broke the early morning stillness of a fishing trip on Western Port Bay early Sunday morning.

Standing at the back of his boat, Cranbourne man Howard Fisher strained to pin-point the muffled sound in the dark, every nerve on edge.

“I had been asleep in my boat but I

S A L E

woke up and went out and I thought I heard a voice in the water,” he said Monday.

“I yelled out: ‘Is someone there?’ and the voice came back again.

“Suddenly I could see a couple of men in the water as they drifted down past me; it’s hard to say how far because distances are deceptive in the water.”

Conditions at 3.20am were dark but still, with wind speeds, according to the Bureau of Meteorology,

not strong enough to register on the gauge.

“I called out a few times to try to work out their position and then I saw a head bobbing and knew where they were,” Mr Fisher said.

“I woke up my friend and we pulled the anchor up and got the boat going and managed to get to the two men.”

That was the rescuer’s harrowing description of a tragedy which claimed the life of Koo Wee Rup man Ian McBride, 53, who drowned

despite the best efforts of his friend of 40 years, Colin Madden, on a fishing trip gone wrong.

Mr McQueen was described on Channel 9 news by his partner, Cherylee Kerslake, as “a big gentle giant most of the time, my grandkids absolutely loved him and he would do anything for anyone.”

The men had left Tooradin after midnight to fish off French Island.

It is believed Mr McBride fell overboard and that Mr Madden jumped

in the dark waters to save him. They became separated from their cabin cruiser and drifted slowly in what the Coast Guard estimates as a three-knot tide.

It appears Mr McBride died with his friend clinging onto him. “In my view the dead man saved the life of the living man,” long-time fisherman Mr Fisher said. “He was trying to save the life of his mate and his mate saved him.”

Luke’s death not foreseeable, inquest finds Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A CORONER’S inquest into the death of Tyabb boy Luke Batty – and the circumstances leading up to the tragedy – has found that it could not have been predicted.

Judge Ian Gray said in a 111-page finding released on Monday that the 11-year-old’s death “was not reasonably foreseeable by anyone – including his mother, Rosie Batty”.

But Mr Gray noted that circumstances leading up to the event were exacerbated by “a failure to engage [his father Greg] Anderson in the family violence system and make him accountable for his actions”.

He also stated: “Luke’s death, from the practicable point of view, was not preventable from the time he entered the cricket nets to practice with his father.”

The Flinders Christian Community College boy was killed by Mr Anderson after cricket training at Tyabb reserve in February last year – an event described by the Coroner as the “tragic death of a young life full of promise”.

Mr Anderson was shot by police and died later in hospital.

Mrs Batty was at the ground at the time and, after querying her son as to his feelings about being left alone with his father, agreed later she “knew he never believed his dad would ever hurt him, by physically hurting him”.

She said she supported Luke having a relationship with his father.

Mr Gray found that Mr Anderson had murdered his son, and that the death was preceded by years of family violence perpetrated by him on Luke and his mother.

He said he was unable to determine the reason for the killing, but noted from Mrs Batty’s evidence that Luke was growing older and wished to withdraw from his father, and that Mr

Anderson realised this and wanted to exert control over his son.

Evidence to the Coroner that Mr Anderson had a delusional disorder was accepted, but without evidence

from a full psychiatric assessment it was found that “no finding can be made with certainty about whether Mr Anderson suffered from any particular mental illness or how he might have been treated”.

Mr Gray added: “No person or agency could have reasonably been expected to foresee that Mr Anderson would be that rare perpetrator, nor Luke the rare victim, of a violent filicide.”

He made 29 recommendations, including that the State of Victoria seek to accurately identify a person’s risk of being the victim of family violence, and a perpetrator’s risk of repeating family violence.

Others referred to whether greater weight should be given to the victim’s own level of fear in assessing the risk posed to her and her children.

Mr Gray welcomed an expected overhaul of Victoria Police’s methods in treating family violence cases, including the roll out of a Risk Assessment and Management Panels to better assess risk, in the aftermath of the tragedy.

He also recommended that all agencies within the family violence system be “sufficiently supported” to provide training and professional development so they can provide realistic and effective violence risk assessments.

He described Ms Batty as a compelling witness who clearly was a “loving, careful and thoughtful mother”.

“Her decisions were completely motivated by her deep love for her son.

Continued from Page 1 Once alongside, Mr Fisher managed to haul Mr Madden aboard. He was suffering hypothermia after about an hour in the 13 degree water. The body of Mr McBride could not be retrieved until the Coast Guard arrived at 3.40am.

“I am still trying to put the pieces together,” Mr Fisher said Monday.

“It was lucky we found them when we did because the fog came in about then making it very hard to see anything.

“We sat and waited for the Coast Guard.”

Officer Jeremy West, who is based at Hastings, said the Coast Guard received the distress call at 3.30am and was at the rescue site by 3.40am.

He said Mr Madden, of Tooradin, had become disoriented after jumping in the water to save Mr McQueen and could not get back to the boat.

He said the tidal outfall was not as strong in northern bay area, meaning the two men did not drift as rapidly with the tide as they would if further

south, which would have made rescue even more difficult.

“They had drifted about 600 metres and had been in the water for about an hour, with the deceased secured to the rescue boat and still in the water when we arrived,” he said.

The men were brought ashore at Hastings and Mr Madden taken to Frankston hospital for treatment. He was expected to be released Monday.

Mr West said police were preparing a report for the Coroner.

Burn off restrictions eased for October BURN off restrictions on properties less than 1500 square metres will be eased throughout October to allow residents to burn off for fire prevention purposes.

For the whole of the month, open air burning will be allowed on land less than 1500 square metres, but only 9am-4pm, Fridays and Saturdays, provided that: No more than one cubic metre of vegetation is burnt at any one time, the fire is not within 10 metres of a neighbour’s house, and the general fire safety provisions are followed at all times.

Open air burning is prohibited on properties smaller than 1500 square metres at all other times.

Shire fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said the easing of restrictions on land less than 1500 square metres would assist owners of smaller properties to reduce fine fuel in the lead up to the fire season.

“Residents are reminded that burn-off material should not be wet, or green, and that general fire

safety precautions should be taken at all times,” he said.

“It’s a great chance to clean up around your property, but ensure you do it responsibly and safely, and keep your neighbours and local authorities informed.”

Landowners burning off should follow the general fire safety provisions which include giving notice to adjoining landowners/occupiers 24 hours prior to the burn, calling 1800 668 511 at least two hours prior to the burn to log your fire with CFA, as well as establishing a fire break of no less than three metres cleared of all flammable material.

Landowners should ensure the fire is supervised by an adult at all times, that there is sufficient fire protection equipment on hand, that vegetation being burnt is dead and dry prior to lighting, and that the fire site wind speed is not more than 20 kilometres per hour.

Open air burning regulations for blocks more than 1500 square metres and more than 40,000 square metres remain the same.

Market Day helps women in crisis

Beach bliss: Artist Monique Morey’s painting, in pastel, is an example of the works for sale at the Somers Arts Fair.

Fair day mixes fun with art SOMERS Primary School will be transformed into a magical arena of children’s activities, music, food and market stalls for the Somers Arts Fair, Sunday 25 October.

A dedicated exhibition space will be filled with artworks by collectable and emerging artists who, each year, create art exclusively for the fair’s art auction.

Organisers say the fair is the only event of its kind on the peninsula to combine the festivity of a fair with an exhibition and auction of rich and diverse art.

It will run 10am-5pm with the art auction 2pm, at Somers Primary School, 87 Camp Hill Rd, Somers.

Visitors to the 13th fair can bid to buy selected pieces, including totem poles, sculptures and paintings by award-winning artists.

As well as the traditional art auction, the fair will also feature market stalls selling glass work, jewellery

and textiles, alongside activities tents, gourmet food, barista-made coffee and local wines.

Children will be entertained on the main oval with rides, games, show bags and a variety of hands-on activities and workshops. A highlight will be the main stage with bands and live acts – all broadcast by RPP FM. Somers Arts Fair raises funds to improve classrooms, provide educational programs and playground equipment and maintain the grounds.

It embodies the best of Somers with its relaxed and friendly family atmosphere, combined with an appreciation of the finer things of life on the peninsula.

There’s a bit everything – atmosphere, art, music, food, fun and entertainment for all ages.

Visit somersartsfair.com or email info@somersartsfair.com, see facebook.com/somersartfair Entry is by gold coin donation.

A HASTINGS market day will help raise funds for Impact for Women, an organisation that aims to make a difference for women in crisis.

Organiser Jenny Scott said around 30 stallholders would add to the event, which will have face painting for the kids and raffles throughout the day.

“International fashion designer Henry Roth will assist on the afternoon, Tyabb Scouts will be cooking, plus we will be running a live auction to help raise money for the cause,” Ms Scott said.

The market will be opened by Impact for Women founder Kathy Kaplan OAM. She launched the idea in May, 2006, with a group of friends. Their goal was to make a difference to women and children in crisis – specifically to Victorian women and their children living in crisis accommodations due to domestic violence.

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the shire was committed to raising awareness and working to prevent family violence in the community.

“In May the shire adopted its Prevention of Family Violence Implementation Plan which complements its endorsement of the Statement of Commitment for the Prevention of Family Violence in November last year,” she said.

“As a community we support activities that promote the peninsula as a safe place and that act to eliminate violence in all of its forms.

“I encourage the community to get behind this market day event to help raise funds for the work of Impact for Women within our community.”

The market will run 10am-4pm, Saturday 10 October, at Hastings Community Hall, High St. Entry is by a gold coin donation.

A DINNER at the Mornington Golf Club was a fun way for Mornington Lodge members to celebrate 125 years of service to the community.

The lodge has been part of the town since 1890 – with Freemasons raising $30,000-$40,000 each year for charitable projects.

A major project launched at the dinner is one close to all their hearts: a plan to raise $125,000 to help stamp out family violence.

A driving force behind the project was special guest at the dinner: Australian of the Year Rosie Batty, whose campaign for compulsory reporting of child abuse cases has generated a lasting response. She also established the Luke Batty Foundation to assist women and children affected by domestic violence.

In a show of solidarity, the Grand Lodge has said it will double the money raised by Mornington Lodge.

Among other events, the lodge is soon to unveil a plaque near the door of the former Mornington Mechanics Hall facade in Main St. Freemasons met there from 1890 until moving to the present location in Barkly St in 1921.

The founding Master, Henry Erskine Moor, was a civil engineer and shire secretary.

Freemasons have also arranged for decorative pavers referring to the lodge to be included in the surrounds of the Avenue of Honour Memorial Rotunda to be built in Mornington Park on Barkly St.

Flower festival

A FLOWER festival will be held at St Peter’s Anglican Church in Mornington, 16-18 October. Beleura House and Gardens and Tallis Foundation director and trustee Anthony Knight will open the show at 5pm. The official opening is by invitation only.

The show will be judged by Glenda Nielsen, of the Victorian Floral Art Association. It will assist with funding the redevelopment of Bellamy Hall.

The St Peter’s and St Martin’s Community Centre will support a range of programs for residents of all ages.

Entry is $5. Opening times are Friday 5-8pm, Saturday 10am-4pm and Sunday 1-4pm.

Competitive and non-competitive entries are welcome. Details: Parish office, 5975 0198.

Charges over takeaway MORNINGTON man has been arrested after a sandwich shop in the town’s industrial area was raided overnight Sunday last week.

Police will allege the man, 36, stole a coffee machine, cash register, meat slicing machine and laptop computer from the shop in Bruce St. All but the laptop have been recovered.

Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock, of Mornington CIU, said the man had been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in January.

Poison canisters danger warning for beaches BEACHGOERS are being reminded not to open any containers washed up on Frankston beaches.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority warned toxic canisters in the Torres Strait, Queensland, NSW, South Australia and Tasmania. The unlabelled silver canisters contain a rat poison known as aluminium phosphide.

When a canister is opened, powder reacts with moisture in the air to release highly toxic phosphine gas which is a danger to humans.

While there have been no reported cases in Victoria and currents make it likely these containers will not find their way to Port Phillip Bay it is a reminder for all beachgoers to report mystery canisters washed ashore at any time.

Exposure to phosphine gas can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, breathing dif-

ficulties, dizziness, tightness of the chest, diarrhoea, fluid in the lungs, liver/kidney damage, and in severe cases death.

The gas is also flammable and can spontaneously ignite causing burns or small explosions.

Most aluminium phosphide is imported into Australia from China and Africa, and the unused nature of the canisters suggests they have come from an unreported shipping cargo loss sometime before February 2012.

The AMSA will monitor the situation and provide technical advice to local hazmat and emergency response services when the canisters are washed ashore.

Queensland and NSW fire and emergency services have dealt with over 40 canisters washed up in three years.

Canisters should not be moved or opened and any sightings should be reported to emergency services on 000.

DEMENTIA IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN AUSTRALIA.

Toxic danger: Rat poison, also a danger to humans, is in containers washed up on beaches.

I spy: water-bug detectives investigate Coolart’s visitors COOLART’s homestead and wetlands have established themselves as a fixture in history and nature education programs on the Mornington Peninsula.

The venue hosts Bush Kinders, school excursions and holidays programs offering an insight into the area’s history and natural science.

Now, children are discovering just who and what has moved into the wetlands and historic homestead in the lead-up to the school holidays.

They are part of Parks Victoria’s junior ranger program that shares the hidden mysteries of special places with the children who become history and nature detectives.

The junior rangers program is a free, spring school holiday program for those aged 6-12.

It aims to keep them active outdoors, and connected with their environment and history.

Parks Victoria ranger and activity leader Kim Cott said the Coolart programs recognised that children respond well to hands-on experiences in the outdoors. “I love seeing kids take charge of the super-sleuthing activities and come up

with theories and suggestions for nature,” she said.

“This is science, geography and history coming alive before their eyes, and we often ignite a new-found interest in the outdoors for some kids.”

Coolart Homestead and Wetlands Water Watch – A Bugs Life raises fascinating questions and surprise answers on wetland aquatic creatures as the children wade through the wetlands, she said.

For junior historians who love tales with a history twist, Coolart’s I Spy a Big House will also capture their creativity and imagination.

Junior ranger activities are free, but bookings are essential at juniorrangers.com.au Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Various times are available from 10am-noon or 1:30–3pm.

Coolart Homestead and Wetlands is on Lord Somers Rd, Somers. The park is open daily 9am-5pm.

Making a difference: Chloe Tuppen, Nicky Mih and Claire Schnackenberg of Free To Shine. Picture: Yanni

Education ‘key to beat sex trade’ A HUMAN rights organisation based in Mornington helps girls in rural Cambodia get an education and this, in turn, makes them less vulnerable to people traffickers and the ubiquitous sex trade.

Mornington resident Nicky Mih established Free To Shine in 2010 to “make a difference” to the thousands of southeast Asian girls who find themselves exploited through poverty, lack of education, and ignorance.

“The organisation began with a simple idea: ‘It starts with you’,” she said.

“I kept reading these harrowing stories about girls in the sex trade and it got to the point that I had to act, I had to do something to help.”

So Ms Mih, with a background in teaching and working with children, packed her bags and headed to Cambodia. She arrived in Siem Reap and spent a month with survivors of sex slavery.

What she heard horrified her.

There are a number of great organisations in the cities helping girls escape the sex trade, but rural areas are often overlooked. The difficulties accessing remote communities and villages have stopped other organisations from helping these girls, but not Ms Mih. Claire Schnackenberg, who is doing an internship at Free To Shine, said studying was the most effective way to stop people traffickers, as well as listening to the stories of survivors and local

victims, so Ms Mih decided to make education her organisation’s main focus.

“She found that girls who were better educated were far less likely to be targeted, and that simply being in school can make all the difference,” Ms Schnackenberg said.

“Involving the local community is also essential in getting sponsors and supporters.”

In five years, Ms Mih and Free To Shine have put 500 at-risk girls back in school and provided them with basic human rights such as clean water, shelter and food.

Backed by a team of dedicated young women, including a group of Mornington residents, Free To Shine also helps Australian women.

By providing leadership opportunities, as well as skills in working in a human rights organisation, the women involved are helping girls on an international scale and getting the experience they need to enact change in their communities.

Free To Shine’s Mornington Masquerade Party is on Saturday 10 October. The night of dancing, music and fun supports an organisation committed to helping Cambodian girls.

Alongside its annual party the group runs movie nights and participates in fun runs.

Creek clean up in good hands Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WATSON Creek Catchment Group has almost completed a restoration project in the upper area of the creek, along one of its tributaries.

And they are happy to have had some much-needed help from volunteer groups along the way, including Somerville Secondary College and the Peninsula North Men’s Shed.

The VCAL students and teachers Catherine Arnold and Josh Blanchard, along with other volunteers, helped plant about 4000 native trees, shrubs and grasses along the creek bank. They also got rid of blackberries, pampas grass and other weeds which had been taking over.

Volunteers from the Peninsula North Men’s Shed, Baxter, made nesting boxes from recycled timber donated

by Ingham Enterprises, which create breeding havens for various bird species and micro bats.

Watson Creek Catchment Group president Anne Tyrrell said Watson Creek had once been thought of as the most polluted creek in the Port Phillip/ Western Port catchment area, but its health has gradually been improving with the co-operation of landowners and businesses, she said.

“Lots of projects are being undertaken in revegetation, fencing off the waterway from stock, controlling weed infestation and reducing chemical and other pollutants entering the creek

system,” she said.

Ms Tyrrell said many people were unaware of the creek and its many tributaries: “It’s even mistaken for a drain in some areas,” she said.

However, as Somerville Secondary College VCAL students saw on Tuesday when they visited the final property the creek passes before entering Watson Inlet, it is a wonder-

ful asset, attracting many birds and directly impacting on marine life in the inlet and, thus, the whole of Western Port Bay. The group walked through riparian and then saltmarsh areas to the creek.

There, Melbourne Water education officer Jane Petch explained the necessity of responsible management, the effects of human impact on creek

water quality, and the importance of frogs in our environment.

Colleague Lance Lloyd gave an overview of the Water Stewardship Program being undertaken by the Westernport Biosphere, which is working with Watson Creek and looking at developing water management plans with landholders and businesses.

The smiling face of Cambodia A SMILE goes a long way and that’s certainly the case for a significant number of children in Cambodia.

Dental Health Services Victoria CEO Dr Deborah Cole said a donation of dental equipment to a village in Siem Reap in Cambodia had made a big difference to the community.

The donation was part of the Green Gecko Project which the Rotary Club of Frankston Peninsula 2.0 supports.

“Seeing all the smiling faces and children brushing their teeth was absolutely amazing, uplifting and quite inspirational,” Dr Cole said.

Green Gecko Project co-founder Tania Palmer thanked DHSV in a letter noting “because of the generosity we are now one step closer to achieving our dream of offering access to dental care to those who would otherwise be unable to afford it.”

Rotary member Trudy Poole said the dental project in the town was progressing well.

“For the past eight years we have engaged a local Khmer dentist, Dr Hor, to look after more than 100 Green Gecko children’s dental needs.

“The Green Gecko Project’s philosophy is to create a sustainable community and having a reliable local young Khmer dentist that is available, especially when an emergency arises, is so important and is further enhancing the sustainability model.

“The new hygiene room is now generously equipped by DHSV and it also serves as a place where the little ones practise what good oral health means.

Tug-of-war over reef and coal Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au

Fun times for seniors at festival activities

ANTI-coal activists have rallied outside the Hastings office of local MP and environment minister Greg Hunt for the third time this month.

Last Wednesday morning, members of national lobby group GetUp held a “friendly tug-of-war between ‘Team Coal’ dressed in black and ‘Team Coral’ in tropical colours” as part of a campaign to “protect the Great Barrier Reef” and protest about Mr Hunt and the Coalition government allowing more coal projects in the Galilee Basin in Queensland.

Sam Regester of GetUp said the playful tug-ofwar game “highlighted the serious decision the minister had to make between greater action to protect the Great Barrier Reef and allowing more coal projects that placed the icon at risk”.

“Minister Hunt must decide which side he’s on – will he stand with the community and protect the reef or side with the vested interests of the mining industry and risk its ruin,” he said.

“Mr Hunt has vital decisions to make on whether he should approve the massive Carmichael mine in the Galilee Basin and a proposal for two million tonnes of dredging in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

“The Queensland government’s own report card into the state of the reef’s health released last week found our natural wonder wasn’t doing well. We need greater action to protect the reef, not more dredging, ports and coal projects that will threaten its future.”

The first protest this month was on Wednesday 2 September when protesters from GetUp carried a crate of coal into Mr Hunt’s office, which elicited the now-famous comment from one of his staff members, executive officer Denise Garnock, “so you’re going to pollute our office with coal?” and a furious reaction from Mr Hunt who accused protesters of intimidating his staff.

THE autumn of one’s life need not be dull, and the Mornington Peninsula Victorian Seniors Festival program has swags of fun activities to keep everyone entertained.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the festival throughout late September and October offered many free and low-cost events and activities designed for older people, their families and friends.

Local festival highlights include film screenings, museum displays, golf tournaments, volunteering workshops, Archibald Prize bus trip to Ballarat Art Gallery, senior citizens club activities, croquet and bowls open days, The 10th Annual Ageing Well Expo and activities at libraries and U3As. “The Seniors Festival is about getting out and getting involved in activities and events we have to offer on the peninsula,” she said. “You can try your hand at croquet, visit your local seniors club, play a round of golf, or attend a lecture – there’s something for everyone.

“The theme of this year’s festival is Celebrating Communities, recognising the great role seniors play in community life.

“We are pleased to support and promote the 2015 Victorian Seniors Festival activities on the peninsula.”

Download the Mornington Peninsula program at mornpen.vic.gov.au or pick up a copy from the shire offices.

Public transport services are free for Victorian Seniors Card holders. Free metropolitan trams, buses and trains and regional bus services will run from Sundays 4-11 October.

Free travel will be available on V/Line rail and coach services on Tuesday 6, Wednesday 7, Thursday 8, Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October.

Persistent: GetUp members opposing new coal mines in Queensland have again protested outside the Hastings office of peninsula MP and environment minister Greg Hunt, the third time this month. Picture: Yanni

Peninsula GetUp member Simon Hawking hit back, saying there were three police officers “happily chatting to the crowd” and they would have been called in to the office if intimidation had occurred.

The second protest was on Wednesday 16 September, a bit of a fizzer as few people turned up although GetUp members and sympathisers have been stopping residents in Hastings’ main street and talking to them about the reef and coal on several days during the month.

Queensland environment minister Steven Miles last week released the annual report about the health of the reef, which stated the overall condition of its inshore marine environment remained poor.

The report assessed run-off and the reef’s condition between 2009-14 and found that sediment, nutrients and pesticide loads had decreased but had fallen short of meeting targets.

Mr Miles said there was more bad news than good in the report. “The results are far from our targets, and progress to these targets flatlined in the period 2013-14,” he said.

In July, the United Nations World Heritage Committee decided not to list the reef as “in danger” but Mr Miles said international concern about the reef was justified.

“The report shows progress on meeting targets has stalled, and UNESCO’s interest was the right thing,” he said.

Witty, irreverent: Salon’s works are the ‘ones that got away’

Strong message: Mt Martha Junior Football Club members proudly show off their smoke-free charter.

No butts as footy club leads way MT Martha Junior Football Club is the first junior sporting club to sign on to the Frankston Mornington Peninsula Smoke Free Charter.

President Warren Davies said the club hoped other sporting clubs will follow their lead and sign the charter.

“It’s been really well received at the club.

Even the smokers think it’s a good initiative; they don’t want their kids to become smokers either, so they’re happy to be involved.”

By signing the charter, the club has made a public commitment to reduce the number of people who smoke and to protect people from the damaging effects of secondhand smoke through putting up more “no smoking” signs.

“It’s about educating and role modelling for the kids,” Mr Davies said. “There won’t be any coaches, runners or supporters smoking on the sidelines and there’ll be information in the club-

rooms about the dangers of smoking.”

Health promotion practitioner Andie Murphy is asking sporting clubs to join the junior football club and support smoke-free sporting.

“Smoking rates on the Mornington Peninsula are 10 per cent higher than the Victorian average,” he said. “By making a stand against smoking, sporting clubs can help empower the community to take action for their health and wellbeing – after all, sporting clubs are the heartbeat of our community.”

Sporting clubs interested in talking action can email Andie Murphy at amurphy@phcn.vic.gov. au Peninsula Health has quit smoking support services at Frankston, Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings. For a face-to-face appointment call 1300 665 781.

LAST 3 WEEKS! DON’T MISS OUT!

THE exhibition described as the “irreverent and playful rabble-rouser of the Archibald’s” the Salon des Refusés” is coming to Victoria – and Mornington – for the first time.

The exhibition showcases what’s described as “the ones that got away” – meaning those artworks that were not granted a showing in the famous Archibald Prize.

They include a prized selection of the “humorous, innovative, mad, bad and dangerous entries that were too fabulous to resist”, say Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery organisers, who take delight in hosting the only showing in Victoria.

The works, torn from obscurity, include portraits of Robert Forster, Catherine Martin and Carlotta, sculpture of a homeless man by Paul Trefry that was shown in the Wynne landscape prize, portrait of Greek Consul-General Dr Starvos Kyrimis, as well as Christopher Pyett’s sensitive portrait of Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty.

The Salon des Refusés was begun by the S.H. Ervin Gallery, in Sydney, in 1992, in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald and Wynne prizes not selected for hanging in the

official exhibition.

Each year a panel is invited to go behind the scenes to select the best from the many works entered, but not chosen, for the official awards. The criteria for those selected in the Salon are quality, diversity, humour and innovation.

The S.H. Ervin’s Salon des Refusés exhibition has established a reputation that rivals the selections of the “official” prize exhibitions and is often cited as a “more lively and

Fence award taken in stride A FENCE made from recycled and reclaimed timber? What a good idea!

That’s what Rye resident Lisa Hart thought as she and her family nailed on the eclectic range of palings. Their new front fence was taking shape and they were proud of it – despite its rather “individual” appearance.

Lisa even sought help from her friends on Facebook: “Hi all, we are currently building some new fences from recycled or reclaimed timber, and we need more palings. Anything will do; it doesn’t have to be fence palings, and it can be painted or unpainted – the more character the better.

“The timber needs to be over 1200mm long and not too thick, but any shape will do. So, if you see any on your travels, or have some stashed away that you no longer need, please let us know.

“Here is a photo of our work so far to give you an idea.”

But, it seems, not all the neighbours agreed, with a laminated note placed in their letterbox one morning saying: “Congratulations, you officially have the ugliest fence in Rye, if not the

Tickets are adults $7, with Mornington gallery and other Victorian gallery members, concession and National Trust Members $4 and children under five free. There is free entry for seniors during the Victorian Seniors Festival, Tuesdays 13, 20 and 27 October.

Hit-run mum death charges Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE laying of floral tributes and a public vigil united Carrum Downs residents on Sunday evening to bid a sad farewell to mother-of-two Andrea Lehane.

The 34-year-old was tragically killed when run down by one of a group of “monkey-bike” riders as she walked over a pedestrian crossing to the shopping centre at about 5pm last Wednesday (23 September).

A Frankston North man, 18-yearold Caleb Jakobsson, appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court over her death on Saturday. He faces eight charges, including culpable driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop after an accident, failing to render assistance after an accident, unlicensed driving and driving an unregistered vehicle.

He did not apply for bail and was remanded to reappear in court this week.

It is alleged Mr Jakobsson was riding the second in a group of four monkey bikes when it hit Ms Lehane, throwing her up to seven metres along the bitumen, where she landed on her head and sustained serious head and chest injuries.

In the collision the rider and a pillion passenger were thrown from the bike, with the passenger running off before Mr Jakobsson remounted and rode away to join the other monkey bike riders, leaving Ms Lehane for dead.

Ms Lehane was taken by air ambulance to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition. Husband James made the heart-wrenching decision to turn off life support on Saturday. He will honour her wish to donate her organs.

Two boys, aged 16 and 17, have also been charged in relation to the incident. They have been bailed to appear at a children’s court on charges of reckless conduct endangering life and unlicensed driving.

Floral tributes adorned the area where the incident occurred, with many shoppers still in shock on Sunday. Others were angry at the apparent lack of action over “young hoons” who frequently charge through the centre in groups, do “monos” and wheelies and harass cyclists.

Ms Lehane, a nurse, had children aged three and four. Their dad took them to see the floral tributes laid as a mark of respect to their mum.

Detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit made the arrests at Frankston police station Friday afternoon and Saturday with the “person of most interest” – the rider of the bike which struck Ms Lehane – the last to be charged after handing himself in.

CCTV footage shows the monkey bike allegedly driven by Mr Jakobsson – carrying a pillion passenger – colliding with Mrs Lehane as she nears the end of the crossing.

The rider falls off and the passenger runs away while Mrs Lehane lies on the bitumen. The rider quickly gets back on and – disregarding his vic-

tim’s plight – quickly rides off in a westerly direction.

Police later described the behaviour of the five motorcycle riders as “callous”.

Off-duty Frankston SES member Steve Wall, who was shopping at the regional centre, witnessed the aftermath of the incident and was one of the first to assist the stricken woman near the entrance to Safeway.

“When I got out of my car she must have just been hit,” he said. “The little bikes drove past very fast.”

“I started to walk towards the shop and I saw people running towards her. She was in a poor state. I got a blanket and put it over her and waited until the paramedics arrived.”

Mr Wall praised the efforts on an off-duty female paramedic who eased Mrs Lehane’s immediate suffering.

He and another shopper used a blanket to shield the injured woman from bystanders while ambulance officers treated her.

Some witnesses chased the riders but couldn’t catch them.

Monkey bikes were banned by Frankston Council in 2007. The bikes, which can travel at up to 70kph, are not allowed on public roads or footpaths. The speed limit in the car park where Ms Lehane was struck is 10kph. A crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for Ms Lehane’s family had raised more than $40,000 by Sunday evening. See the ‘Andrea Lehane Memorial Account’ at gofundme.com

Frankston Council call to dob in ‘monkey bikers’ FRANKSTON Council has urged people to report anyone illegally riding a monkey bike on public roads or footpaths in the wake of the death of 34-year-old mother of two Andrea Lehane after a collision at Carrum Downs Shopping Centre last Wednesday.

“This will affect so many lives. Our hearts go out to her friends and family through this difficult time,” Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said.

Frankston Council resolved to change its local law in October 2007 to ban monkey bikes on public roads and increase police powers to impound unregistered motor vehicles.

“Prior to the decision, these unregistered motor vehicles were increasingly becoming an issue, due to growing residential noise complaints and frequent use on footpaths, parks and carparks,” Cr Mayer said.

“They were also driving illegally on the road, posing a danger to other road users and pedestrians.”

Frankston Council is currently holding 10 monkey bikes, eight of which were seized by police in the past 12 months.

“Council also has the power to destroy seized unregistered motor vehicles – however we do allow a reasonable amount of time for them to be collected before we destroy them,” said the Mayor.

“We also plead with parents to refrain from buying unregistered motor vehicles for children in suburban areas. Children are not aware of the road rules and pose a potential risk, not only to themselves, to other community members.”

Anyone with hoon complaints or information related to the Carrum Downs fatal incident, can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Mornington BMW partner for racing THE Mornington Racing Club and Mornington BMW, the Peninsula’s leading BMW dealership, are proud to announce they are uniting for a partnership as of 1 October 2015.

The foundation of the partnership secures Mornington BMW with naming rights for the 2015 Mornington BMW Cup and its $300,000 Listed flagship race.

Along with 2015 Mornington BMW Cup Day designation rights, the partnership includes substantial on-course signage and branding presence, and also allows for on-course promotional activity, brand integration into content and entertainment opportunities.

Mornington BMW has been an ongoing partner of the Mornington Racing Club for many years, previously sponsoring the Mornington BMW Fashions on the Field competition and support races on Peninsula Cup Day. Manager of Mornington Racing Club, Angela Cleland, was extremely happy about the partnership.

“The Mornington Cup has been a major event on the Mornington Peninsula for 67 years which has been further cemented with the day

becoming a standalone race day in Victoria during Autumn.

“Mornington showcases the finest in horseflesh; BMW, the finest in horsepower.

The two complement each other perfectly, a match we know well from a long standing and successful partnership.

“We’re thrilled at partnering with Mornington BMW and look forward to working with their talented team to confirm the Mornington BMW Cup as an iconic event for the Mornington Peninsula.”

Mornington BMW General Manager, Aaron Cosstick, is equally delighted with the company’s confirmation of the Mornington BMW Cup. “Mornington BMW has had a long standing association with the sport of kings, and we are very excited to strengthen our relationship with the sport by solidifying our partnering with the Mornington Racing Club as naming rights partner of the Mornington BMW Cup.” “This sponsorship will cement Mornington BMW’s position as a premium automotive partner of racing on the peninsula,” Cosstick said.

Hats N Hooves Luncheon to support Statewide Autistic Services Inc. THE 2015 staging of the Mornington Racing Club’s Mornington Peninsula Hats N Hooves Charity Luncheon looms as an extra special event.

As is custom in the lead-up to Mornington’s feature spring race day William Hill Peninsula Cup day, proceeds will be directed to local Charity Statewide Autistic Services Inc. ( SASI) based in Frankston, and supporting the local area.

SASI offers teenagers and adults with high needs autism and other complex disabilities the education and support they need to live with dignity, respect and as independently as possible.

Funds raised will be used to contribute to a 4 day camp for people with autism for expenses such as accommodation, food, transport and equipment with every dollar raised giving one more person the opportunity to live the life they

dream. All money donated goes to benefit our client in a tangible way.

Hosted by fashion blogger Lauren Brain, the Mornington Peninsula Hats and Hooves Charity Luncheon, to be held in the Gunnamatta Room at Mornington Racecourse, includes:  All-inclusive three-course luncheon and beverages (excluding spirits)  Fashion parade brought to you by the fashion precincts of the Mornington Peninsula  Live auctions, silent auctions and raffle with all proceeds going to SASI  Fantastic door prizes to be won  Prize for table wearing the best hats Tickets to the Luncheon are available from the Mornington Racing Club on (03) 5975 3310.

No go for helmet GoPro MODERN technology was on trial in Frankston Magistrates’ Court last week in a judgement with implications for motorcycle riders across Victoria.

A magistrate fined motorcyclist Max Lichtenbaum $150 for wearing two small GoPro-type cameras on his helmet and dismissed an appeal by the Frankston rider to have an infringement notice issued by police thrown out.

Mr Lichtenbaum had originally been fined $289 and three demerit points after he was stopped by police on 22 March in Plowman Place, Frankston while wearing the helmet-cam.

Police said the 55-year-old had broken safety standards by adding extensions to his motorcycle helmet.

Mr Lichtenbaum’s lawyer said last week’s court decision “is a disappointing outcome for riders and for motorcycle safety”.

“Riders tell us they wear helmet cameras to improve their safety while on the roads, and that drivers and other road users show more care when there is a camera in use,” Maurice Blackburn principal Malcolm Cumming said.

“And if there is a road accident or collision, helmet camera footage is among the best evidence you can get.”

Mr Cumming said riders should not be punished for trying to improve road safety. He slammed helmet laws across Australia as “a dog’s breakfast”.

“We continue to call for urgent re-

form in the law to fix the ambiguity around compliance of helmets with Australian Standards.”

Australian Motorcycle Council helmets committee chair Guy Stanford said motorcycle helmet safety standards vary from state to state so riders crossing state borders could find themselves unwittingly pinged by police due to differing safety rules.

In South Australia and Queensland, for example, road rules state a helmet only needs to comply with Australian Standards at the time of manufacture.

Mr Stanford said Victorian authorities’ insistence that any helmet protrusion of more than 5 millimetres could cause injuries in an accident “has been discounted internationally”.

“The whole set up for how this is being managed for Victoria is appallingly bad,” he said.

Mr Stanford said crash test results globally have shown helmet cameras do not cause further injury to riders unless a hole has been drilled to bolt a camera to a helmet.

He urged all state governments to implement a nationwide set of safety standards to include the right to affix a small camera to helmets.

Mr Cumming said an appeal against Mr Lichtenbaum’s fine may be lodged with the Supreme Court.

“We will continue to push for standardised national helmet laws that embrace new technology and rider safety.”

Auditioning for life in film Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE “thrill of the performance” drives Mt Martha actor and director Callum Needham, who has written, produced, directed and acted in his own short film, Fatum, being shown at the Astor Theatre, East St Kilda, in November.

Named after the Latin word for destiny or fate, Fatum has a strong anti-bullying theme and also offers a positive message for young teens not to bow to peer or parental pressure but to follow their dreams.

Needham, who attended Mt Martha Primary School and Mt Eliza Secondary College, began his acting career in Grade 6 in primary school productions and continued right to the end of secondary school. He then took a gap year to visit Europe.

Now 21 he is in his final year at Deakin University where he has been studying film and digital media for the past three years. Fatum is the result of an assignment in which he had to write and direct his own composition. “I felt strongly about the central theme as a result of past experiences and it just came naturally.”

He is soon to audition for both the National Institute of Dramatic Art and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and hopes to be able to continue to follow his acting ambitions at one of these academies.

Needham has also written, produced and acted in other Deakin productions, and has had another of his films: These Four Walls, short listed

Break a leg: Mt Martha actor Callum Needham thrills to the curtain call. Picture: Yanni

for the Rosebud Short Film Festival.

Fatum may be entered this year.

Aspiring to a career “treading the boards” is not for the faint-hearted.

“WAAPA has a single audition with the aspiring actor doing a Shakespearian monologue, while NIDA demands both a Shakespearean monologue and a contemporary piece in front of all those auditioning,” he said last week.

“At the end they sit us down and whittle away reducing us from 40 to three, so it’s pretty soul-destroying.

“I first did an audition there when I

was in Year 12 aged 17. I didn’t know what to expect then but I will be doing it all again at the end of the year.”

Needham said acting was all about feeling emotions in whatever character he portrays. “If I am playing an evil character I want the audience to hate me,” he said. “If I am playing a lovable character I want them to love me. It’s not about entertaining the audience but making them feel.”

He said acting was also about being someone else. “You can be a child and just play,” he said.

Roo slaughter on our roads Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORE than 70 kangaroos have been hit and killed by vehicles on Mornington Peninsula roads this year, says animal activist Craig Thomson.

Mr Thomson, secretary of Animalia Wildlife Shelter, said roos were being forced on to road reserves by property owners building “9-foot [3-metre] kangaroo-proof fences, especially in the Tuerong to Cape Schanck area”.

“The fences limit their ability to move across the land,” he said.

“Kangaroos on the peninsula are

an isolated population and we could loose them forever if we don’t protect them.”

He said most roos killed were eastern greys, the dominant species in the region.

“This is an extraordinarily large number of animals to be killed in a short period of time. It is a miracle that no motorists or passengers have been killed yet.”

He said it was often thought that large numbers of roos being killed on roads was the sign of an expanding kangaroo population but this was not the case on the peninsula.

“We are clearing too much vegetation including areas for market gardens.”

He said there had been reports of roos entering people’s front yards more frequently. One woman in Cape Schanck was now keeping her gate closed all the time as she was worried about roos accidentally harming her children and pets.

“Habitat loss is pushing kangaroos on to roadside verges,” Mr Thomson said.

“Many verges are on narrow roads with high speed limits so it is only a matter of time before someone is killed, while we continue to loose our

biodiversity and a tourist drawcard.”

A shire spokesman said the decline of the kangaroo population was due to a number of factors including “specialised boundary exclusion fencing including electric fences”, pastoral land being replaced by intensive horticulture such as vegetable growing, and increased traffic volumes.

“Threats to kangaroo populations from development are ever-present around the edge of Melbourne and beyond to the peninsula.”

Construction of so-called “kangaroo exclusion fences” does not require a planning permit.

Road deaths: More than 70 kangaroos have been killed on peninsula roads this year and wildlife protector Craig Thomson blames roo-proof fences and clearing of habitat. Picture supplied

More patrols to protect hooded plovers PARKS Victoria is increasing ranger patrols on peninsula surf beaches in an attempt to help protect the endangered hooded plover during its breeding season from September to March.

Parks Victoria’s peninsula chief ranger Kris Rowe said residents and visitors must abide by dog restrictions.

The tougher regime is due to the disappointing breeding season in 201415. Just four chicks survived to fledgling (flying) stage out of 34 chicks hatched. There are fewer than 600 hooded plovers left in Victoria.

Mr Rowe said the hooded plover population in Mornington Peninsula National Park was one of the largest in Victoria. “However it has a lower

level of breeding success than those in other Victorian coastal areas and is particularly vulnerable to the presence of dogs,” he said.

“Increased ranger patrols will target dog walkers who breach restrictions such as not having their dog on a lead, walking a dog outside regulated times (between sunrise and 9am) or walking a dog in prohibited zones.

“Dogs are prohibited at all times in specific signposted zones throughout the national park, including between Portsea and Flinders, to protect breeding habitats of plovers and other protected species.

“Dog walking is permitted on-lead between sunrise and 9am only along

sections of the national park that are marked by signs. These areas consist of about 14km of coast between Sorrento and Rye and additional sections at Portsea Surf Beach, St Andrews Beach and Flinders Ocean Beach.”

He said it was the responsibility of dog owners to ensure they were aware of the restrictions and were doing the right thing.

“We can’t emphasise enough how important it is for everyone to abide by the rules so that we can give the hooded plovers their best chance of survival,” he said.

Alternative areas for dog walking on the southern peninsula include some Port Phillip beaches and leash-

free reserves managed by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

For detailed information and maps, visit www.parks.vic.gov.au or call 13 1963. For advice on dog walking areas outside the national park, visit www. mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 1300 850 600.

Camping fun and inspiration for diabetes fighters Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FOUR teenagers with diabetes received some welcome inspiration from former AFL player Jack Fitzpatrick in Mt Eliza last week.

Ben McVea, 15, of Langwarrin, Imogen Price, 12, of Somerville, Caleb Govan, 12, of Pearcedale and Billie Angelone, 14, of Parkdale, were participants in a four-day Diabetes Victoria senior camp at Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza.

They are learning how to live well with type 1 diabetes in a fun, safe and supportive environment, and shared a culture of independence through adventure.

Billie Angelone was diagnosed in July 2005 when she was four. She used to cry every time she had to inject insulin, which was hard for her parents to watch.

Billie can’t remember life without diabetes and is having a fun time at camp.

“At home, I don’t have any friends who have diabetes,” she said.

“It’s great to meet others and to receive so much support.”

She’s keen to catch up with her new friends after returning home and to stay in touch through social media.

She says people at home accept her diabetes but don’t necessarily understand what it’s like to live with the condition every day. She greatly enjoyed meeting professional football player Jack Fitzpatrick.

“It was inspiring to hear his story,” Billie said. “It’s really motivating to hear how he manages his diabetes

Nothing they can’t do: Billie, Imogen, Ben and Caleb talk with former AFL player Jack Fitzpatrick. All are living with type 1 diabetes.

to live a full and happy life. There’s nothing you can’t do if you have diabetes.”

Billie believes the world is her stage and loves performing in school productions, dance, school aerobics and drama.

Caleb Govan was diagnosed in October 2012. “Initially, the shock was quite overwhelming and it took some time and many tears to get our heads around it,” said his mum Rebecca, a busy mother of five.

“There are no days off with diabetes but we have found that, as we accepted

the diagnoses, it just became part of our everyday life.”

Caleb has been really excited about going to the camp – and has found it even better than he imagined: “I am rapt to be here for the first time. I have learned new things about diabetes and have met great people.” He plans to stay in touch with new buddy Ben McVea after camp.

Caleb said he wished he didn’t have diabetes but still has a positive attitude: “I don’t hate it, I don’t like it.

You just have to live with it.”

Caleb loved meeting Jack Fitzpatrick

and was inspired at hearing his personal story. “If you can do that, you really can do anything. The sky is your limit,” he said.

A keen “builder”, Caleb is an active boy who loves playing on the family poultry farm where there is always “something fun” to keep him occupied.

Imogen Price was only three when she was diagnosed. “We felt scared and overwhelmed at the time,” her mum Amanda Cox said. “It felt like all of our life became about Imogen.”

Today, almost 10 years later, Imogen

is living well with her diabetes: “It’s just a matter of control,” the 12-year old said.

Imogen has had “tons of fun” at the camp and loves to socialise: “It’s fantastic to meet others with diabetes and to hear their stories.”

Imogen loves ballroom dancing, reading and writing in her free time.

In 2006, when Ben McVea was diagnosed, his parents Lesley and Ross felt overwhelmed. The diagnosis started a big learning process. Now, the family takes each day as it comes and tries not overreact to the highs and lows.

Ben is a passionate footy player and had great fun meeting Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick said living with type 1 diabetes “can be frustrating sometimes”.

“When I was diagnosed three years ago, it was quite confronting to hear that I would have to have multiple insulin injections every day for the rest of my life.

“But life with diabetes doesn’t have to be a struggle. I absolutely believe that diabetes will only ever hold you back if you let it.”

About 50 teenagers from all over Victoria spent four days of their school holidays at the camp. They are among 2900 Victorians aged under 18 living with type 1 diabetes. Also attending were various health professionals and diabetes educators.

Diabetes Victoria organises six diabetes camps every year in partnership with the Royal Children’s Hospital and Southern Health.

Healthy Living Help for arthritic feet and knees ARE you one of the many people who suffer arthritis in your feet, knee’s or hips?

Arthritis can occur at any age, and literally means “pain within a joint.” As a result, arthritis is a term used broadly to refer to a number of different conditions.

There are three types of arthritis that may affect your foot, ankle and knee.

Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative or “wear and tear” arthritis, is a common problem for many people after they reach middle age. Over the years, the smooth, gliding surface covering the ends of bones (cartilage) becomes worn and frayed. This results in inflammation, swelling, and pain in the joint.

Osteoarthritis progresses slowly and the pain and stiffness it causes worsens over time.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Unlike osteoarthritis, which follows a predictable pattern in certain joints, rheumatoid arthritis is a system-wide disease. It is an inflammatory disease where the patient’s own immune system attacks and destroys cartilage.

Post-Traumatic Arthritis Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after an injury. This type of arthritis is similar to osteoarthritis and may develop years after a fracture, severe sprain, or ligament injury.

Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are many treatment options available to assist with pain and maintain mobility so you can stay active and live a fulfilling life, reducing the need

for ongoing medications or surgery.

It’s important to seek help early so that treatment can begin as soon as possible but also important is getting a correct diagnosis and addressing aggravating factors so the most appropriate treatment can be provided.

The good news is expert help is just around the corner. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal Podiatry practices specifically focuses on assisting pain, injury and degenerative issues, including arthritis. With enormous success assisting many living on the peninsula, for over 7 years, they utilize the very latest medical science and treatments to help patients avoid surgery and get active again.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

First hand account from Gallipoli Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of cattle, sheep and sundries to dispose of. The sale will commence at half past twelve o’clock. *** A PUBLIC meeting is called for Monday evening next by Mr G.Griffeth, president of the shire, in the Fruitgrowers’ Hall, Somerville, for the purpose of forming a branch of the Patriots’ League. Mr M. F. King, of Melbourne, will address the meeting. *** AT the recent examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Academy and Royal College of music the following pupils have passed:—Millie Dodd, primary division; Beatrice Andrews, elementary division, and Margaret Lander, higher division. *** IN future mails including letters, newspapers, packets and parcels for Expeditionary Forces will close at General Post Office, Melbourne, at 5 p.m. on day preceding despatch of mails. Letters from country districts must arrive at time stated to ensure despatch by outgoing mails. *** AFTER a delay of about 18 months owing to some of the parts having gone astray in transit, the work of mounting the cannon in Bay Street, Frankston, is being now proceeded with. It has long been an eyesore, lying in its dismounted state, which hap-

pily will now be removed. *** IN our report of the send-off to Frankston volunteers last week an error occurred in stating that the presentation to Private R. Dixon had been made by Mornington residents.

It should have been that the presentation was made by three of Mr Dixon’s personal friends in Frankston. *** A PRESENTATION was made to Miss Gale, last week by the pupils of the Frankston State School in the shape of a nice clock, the occasion being the departure of that young lady to Dookie, to which school she has been appointed.

Miss Gale was a favorite with her pupils and also with the fellow-teachers, and their best wishes go with her for her future welfare. *** THE many friends of Mr and Mrs F. T. Hill, will sincerely regret to hear that they have received word from the Defence Department that their son Eric is amongst the missing at Gallipoli. It will be remembered that their eldest son, William, was killed at the front some months ago.

We trust that later news will soon be received that Eric has been found and is again in the ranks. *** WE have received a copy of the 44th annual report of the Young Mens’ Christian Association of Melbourne for the year ending 30th June last. It is very nicely got up in pamphlet form, with photos and views of their vari-

ous tents both in Victoria and Egypt.

The book gives a short resume of the large amount of work carried out during the past year, more particularly at Broadmeadows (Victoria) and at the Egyptian Bases, in connection with the comfort of our Australian lads. A special contribution is asked to aid the association’s efforts during this time of war. *** LETTERS from the Front. (From Private Alex. Meldrum, of Somerville, now at Gallipoli) I suppose before you receive this letter you will have heard that I got slightly wounded at Gallipoli and hope that you do not run away with the idea that I am blown to pieces. I am one of the fortunate ones and only received slight injuries.

It was last Thursday, 5th August, that we got notice to pack up our belongings and get ready to advance early next morning, so we started by sewing white patches on our shirts, one on the back and one on each sleeve, as we had to attack in our shirt sleeves.

Our bundles were thrown into big heaps on the edge of the cliff and we were then issued with our iron rations.

Then came our first disappointment — we were not to attack till Saturday morning — so we sat in our trenches all night and shivered. I can’t say we slept, at any rate, I didn’t.

We waited till 4.30 in the evening when things got moving on our right and we gained three lines of trenches, as the Turks just simply took to their heels. This put us in great jumps. In the meantime the warships had moved

up the bay and started shelling the trenches in our direct front at 8 o’clock in the evening. At midnight our warships started shelling these trenches and it was like hell let loose. Pieces of shell were hitting all round us and I didn’t think there would be a Turk left alive in those trenches, but that is where we got a shock.

At 4 in the morning, just breaking day, our red light signal flashed to stop the bombardment. In an instant we were out of our trenches and off dashed the first line. I was in the second, about ten yards in their rear. The last shell had scarcely exploded then, and before we had covered half the distance we met a wall of lead from machine guns, rifles and bombs.

It was simply hell itself and the men of our first line dropped and dropped until by the time the trench was reached you could count the survivors on your fingers. At this time my line was about half way and had lost heavily, so we pulled ourselves together and rushed forward.

I had only gone about five yards when I felt a bullet go through my hat and it knocked me out. I seemed to lie there for a terrible long time, but it could not have been many seconds.

I put my hand to my head and could feel the blood running, but the bullet had just ploughed along the bone, and I soon felt alright.

I could hear our chaps cheering as they charged, so I jumped up and went on again. I got within ten yards of the trench when another bullet struck me over the right eye and I again fell. At

this time there didn’t seem to be any of our chaps left. Another bullet went through my boot just nicking a piece out of my heel. I was also bleeding at the shoulder, so I left my rifle and crawled back, as we had got the order to retire.

The wound in my shoulder was caused by a bit of casing. I had it taken out, but have no idea when I got it. I think I was very lucky to get out of it so easy as the bullets were thick and close enough to make things unpleasant. We lost a terrible lot of men. I do not know the exact figures, but about 10 per cent, of the 8th are all that escaped. 470 of us started, but there are only 53 left.

It is hard to describe what a charge is like, such as ours, and just as hard to imagine. It was awful to see our chaps lying round. I won’t try and tell you about it as I wish to forget a lot of it myself. We struck a hail of petrol bombs which exploded all round us and burnt up everything that was near.

I only hope we will have a chance of getting some of our own back before long as we have been very unlucky since we have been here. O well I am a bit tired, so must ring off, hoping all are well at home, and do not worry over my few scratches as will soon be alright. *** DANDENONG Market report: A fair yarding of all classes of cattle forward, and an improvement in prices all round.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom

By Stuart McCullough IMAGINE this: aliens land and take you hostage. Spirited away to their spacecraft, you are then dragged to meet their leader; a vile green beast with a glistening fang and one gigantic blinking eye, and are told that you must sum up all the achievements of Western Civilization in a single word or you will either be vapourised by their laser or, worse, forced to become a contestant on Family Feud.

Under these heightened circumstances, what word do you choose to try and save your skin? Something naff like ‘hope’ or stomach-churningly turgid as ‘love’? There’s no way an alien leader is going to swallow that.

The answer is simple. The word that best describes all of Western Civilization is as follows: Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom.

So begins and ends ‘Tutti Frutti’.

For those unfamiliar with it, ‘Tutti Frutti’ is not merely a record by Richard Wayne Penniman (better known as ‘Little Richard’). It’s Christmas, all your good birthdays and that time you managed to merge onto the Kings Way off-ramp without someone threatening to careen into your back bumper, all rolled into two and half mind-blowing minutes.

Forget the Vostock 1 and the Mercury-Redstone 3; ‘Tutti Frutti’ is when human kind truly left this planet. It is an achievement that remains without equal. The Renaissance and its glut of cultural polymaths like Leonardo Da Vinci and other assorted clever clogs are but dunces. Little Richard is a ge-

PAGE 48

nius without equal.

While it’s fair to say that any one individual did not invent rock and roll, Little Richard deserves a fair chunk of the credit. This was the song that changed everything. He was fond as describing himself as the architect of rock and roll, but I don’t think that’s going far enough. For me, Little Rich-

Western Port News 29 September 2015

ard is not only the architect but the plumber, the electrician and the dude that puts the blinds up also.

That the song exists at all is a miracle. Little Richard was born in Macon, Georgia in 1932. In many ways, his upbringing exemplifies the tension between the spirit and the flesh that underpins the very best rock and roll. His

father was a deacon at the local church who also sold bootlegged moonshine liquor and ran a nightclub. As a child, Little Richard loved to sing in the church choir, but even then his voice was extremely dominant and he had a tendency to overpower the other singers, earning him the nickname ‘War Hawk’.

Leaving home at sixteen, Little Richard travelled with various touring shows and, at one point, even worked as a drag performer. He started making records in the early fifties, but no one noticed. In early 1955, he dropped in a two-song demo to Specialty Records.

Early sessions failed to yield a hit. It was only after the producer, ‘Bumps’ Blackwell saw Little Richard perform at the Dew Drop Inn and heard ‘Tutti Frutti’ that things turned around. But there was a problem: the song had been improvised in performances on the chitlin’ circuit and its lyrics were risqué even by today’s standards, much less those in the mid-fifties.

A songwriter, Dorothy LaBostrie, was brought in to tone down the innuendo and the song was recorded in just three takes in September before being unleashed on an unsuspecting public in November. The world would never be the same again. Oddly, Pat Boone recorded a version of Tutti Frutti a short time later and both versions were on the American charts at once, with Pat peaking at number 12, and Little Richard at 17. Little Richard later claimed that white kids preferred his version, but had the Pat Boone rendition on hand to mollify their parents.

In 1955, the charts were dominated by songs like ‘Sixteen Tons’ by Tennessee Ernie Ford and ‘Mr. Sandman’

by The Chordettes. The former was a song about coal mining; the latter was subsequently re-written and vastly improved by Metallica. Into this polite world, Little Richard arrived.

From the first instant, it sounds like nothing else with an acapella introduction that is unintelligible and yet makes perfect sense. The word ‘Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom’ imitates a drum pattern. The band goes like the clappers from the get go. The whole thing is nothing short of anarchy. Music no longer needed to be pleasing to the ear or in any way sweet. Rather, it had permission to be terrifying. Songs like Tutti Frutti were regarded as a threat to society back in 1955. You can’t say that about One Direction. Or, if you can, then not for the same reasons.

This year is its sixtieth anniversary.

You’d think a recording that old would sound frail or tame. Polite even. But listening to it now, it still sounds immensely powerful. It makes pretty anything you might hear on the radio sound lame and half asleep – the voice all but threatens to tear through the speakers at any moment. Death metal sounds like an afternoon nap in comparison. Aliens would, of course, be either highly intimidated or deeply impressed. Either way, they’d soon let you go on your way, saying only ‘Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom’ as their farewell. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

HUNTERS & COLLECTORS RELEASE THEIR FIRST EVER ANTHOLOGY

By Cameron McCullough

“The real essence of rock music,” Mark Seymour pondered at the end of 1983, “It’s just passion, it’s just really pure.”

More than three decades later, that statement is a neat summation of the new Hunters & Collectors collection, which is simply titled Anthology.

These 40 songs tell the tale of a remarkable 18 years, from the band’s early alternative days at St Kilda’s Crystal Ballroom – when Rolling Stone magazine dubbed them “White punks on funk” – to their years as a touring machine, playing to the suburban masses in sweaty beer barns.

“We felt that if we couldn’t convey something to normal people who work nine-to-five then we might as well forget it,” Mark Seymour explained in 1985.

This was an Australian band unlike any

other. Their unforgettable debut single, Talking To A Stranger, was inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s The Albatross; the timeless Throw Your Arms Around Me is the Aussie classic that was recorded three times but was never a big chart hit; The Slab is an ode to onanism; while a song about Napoleon’s chef, Holy Grail, ended up becoming a footy anthem.

Mushroom Records started a new subsidiary, the White Label, to sign Hunters & Collectors. The band demanded artistic control. Mushroom boss Michael Gudinski famously likened dealing with them to dealing with the Communist Party.

This is a story of egalitarianism. The collaborative energy of a rumbling rhythm section and the blistering Horns of Contempt, with songs that captured the brutal beauty of the Australian landscape.

“We’ve always aimed to sound Australian,” Mark Seymour noted in 1986. Drummer

Doug Falconer called it “The Great Aussie Tug”, referring to the roaring backbeat necessary in a pub environment.

For a generation of punters, these songs provided the soundtrack to their gig-going years. A Hunters & Collectors gig was a tribal experience. Paul Kelly remembers seeing the band in the 80s, when they were “gathering an army”.

“Their audience was mainly young men, hungry for devotion,” Paul observed in his memoir. “Hunnas had a big, fat industrial bass sound, an anthemic horn section, and their singlet-clad singer, as fit as a trout, held nothing back.”

At the start of the 90s, asked how he would like to be remembered, Mark Seymour responded: “I suppose if there is one thing that I’d like to be remembered for artistically, it’s getting all those people singing, ‘You don’t make me feel like I’m a woman any more.’”

Hunters & Collectors were Australia’s last great pub rock band.

“They defined new parameters for Australian music,” critic Toby Creswell wrote when he was editor of Rolling Stone. “And Mark Seymour’s lyrics captured the Australian experience in a way no other writer has.”

Anthology – culled from the band’s nine albums – follows the Hunnas’ live reformation, which coincided with the charttopping tribute album, Crucible, and saw the band perform at the AFL Grand Final and do shows with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and The Rolling Stones.

The tour won the 2014 Helpmann Award for Best Australian Contemporary Concert, but the band is adamant there will be no new Hunters & Collectors albums.

This is it. And Anthology shows why Hunters & Collectors mattered – and why they still do.

Ynot help, and have a great time too Real estate agent Tony Ladiges, has lived on the Mornington Peninsula his entire life and currently lives in Mornington with his wife Jade, daughter Grace and son Spencer.

“I’ve had amazing life experiences,” said Tony.

“One of my ultimate goals has always been to assist those less fortunate than myself.”

To achieve this goal, Tony has taken time out of corporate life to establish ‘ynot help foundation’; an achievement he is extremely proud of.

With an extensive background in the entertainment industry including acting roles in television, film and theatre, Tony will utilise his business management experience combined with his entertainment industry connections to present exciting functions to raise funds to help change people’s lives for the better.

“Life hands people challenges at certain points in their journey,” said Tony.

“Sometimes these challenges are difficult to cope with for various reasons. It is impossible to help everyone; however ‘ynot’ strives to help as many people as we possibly can”.

Through his other passion; his real estate business at Eview Real Estate Group Mornington Peninsula, Tony is donating a portion of every real estate transaction to the ‘ynot help’ foundation.

He is excited about upcoming ‘ynot help’ events. In particularly the foundation’s inaugural event on 12 November.

Lah Lah’s Big Live Band will perform an exclusive show for the kids, with proceeds going to The Southern Peninsula Cancer Support Group.

Lah-Lah is Australia’s premier band for children and their families. A band like no other in Australia.

The stars of ABC 4 KIDS and CBeebies will have the whole family up singing and dancing along with them.

Don’t miss your chance to see Lah Lah’s Big Live Band at Frankston Arts Centre on 12 November.

Stonecats are Premiers PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW capped off a wonderful season by winning the Peninsula League premiership by a whopping 87 points over Mornington on Sunday.

The Stonecats have been by far the best side in the competition this season, having had a 77-point average winning margin this season.

On Sunday at the Kars St Oval, the Stonecats dominated to win 18.15 (123) to 5.6 (36).

Frankston YCW’s previous two encounters against Mornington saw them win by 10 goals and almost 15 goals.

On Sunday, it was much of the same.

The Stonecats were prepared, disciplined, clinical and professional, a trademark that has been with this clubs since the years of Josh Kendall, Paul Theobald, Joey Lane and Mark Berenger.

It graduated through the ‘Bugsy’ Barry years and is now front and centre in the current coach Scott Mathers.

Mathers worked his way through the Under 18’s, like Buggsy, and has now coached back-to-back flags.

Mathers has ensured that this group stays hungry and professional.

When the final siren sounded on Sunday, players swarmed to tough midfielder Luke Collins, who was under a pack all day clearing the ball out to runners.

Collins had lost his father the night before the game – the passion for a teammate was testament to the YCW Football Club.

From the first bounce, there was a commitment to the cause from the Stonecats – they were first to the footy, relentless in their pressure and disciplined to their structures.

While Mornington was able to withstand the pressure in the first quarter, they just couldn’t maintain it.

The juggernaut put them to the sword in the second quarter and the game was over at half time, 11.9 (75) to 1.2 (8).

The Stonecats won the clearances, 33 to 29, such was the battle between Ash Eames and Michael Gay. Eames won the duel.

were more a kick and hope arrangement.

Tony Lester was judged the RPP Best on Ground, voted by former Langwarrin premiership coach Gavin Artico, Jason Chapple, yours truly and Michael Voss.

and Anthony Barry dominated in the back half. Ryan Santon and Brenton Credlin are two of the most outstanding youngsters in the competition and they were superb in the Grand Final.

Scott McLeod was brilliant when the game needed to be won in the first half with 12 possessions in the opening hour and Jai Coghlan was one of the best five players on the ground.

Talk about leadership, Coghlan had it in spades.

Ben Tellis is a star. If you’re contemplating retirement legend, forget about it. He kicked two goals and had more than 15 possessions.

David Bodley (two goals), Paul Minchington (two goals), Brad Ulms and Anthony Bruhn (one goal) all looked dangerous when the ball went inside.

Daniel Waddell, despite all the years he has been at YCW (with a Dromana flag in between), finally won his first senior flag with the Stonecats. Knee injuries cost him in the past.

Craig Nankervis was simply brilliant. His work rate, along with Collingwood VFL player and local boy Lachy Wallace (23 possessions), were instrumental in the win.

It was a tough day for the Dogs.

their heads high after the game, along with Adam Symes, who is as tough as a cat’s head.

Jai Haddock was tireless, tough and relentless and Ryan O’Dell was superb. The Dogs can build their club around these two blokes.

The season belonged to the Frankston YCW. They were a pleasure to watch, on every occasion.

Congratulations needs to go to club president Gerry Wintle and his team – what a well-run, professional club that just oozes success.

Well done, Frankston YCW Football Club.

Bulls land ‘three-timer’ Poholke FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt KARINGAL Football Club has landed the biggest blow in off-season recruiting, landing three-time Sorrento premiership forward Leigh Poholke.

Yours truly broke the exclusive story on the RPP Footy Show and Toe Punt Facebook Page on Saturday morning.

The 2014 Nepean League MVP and Team of the Year player has gone to the Bulls to “personally challenge” himself.

Poholke said he had been fortunate in his career to be at a “great club” and one that has enjoyed a lot of success.

However, Poholke said it was time for a change.

“I want to challenge myself. I think that I can bring the experience I have gained from being in a successful club and help out the Karingal Football Club.

“I have always heard great things about Karingal and people I spoke to before I made my decision were very positive about the way the club is managed.

“For me, I’m young, the club has a great group of kids coming through and there’s plenty of irons in the fire for further recruits.”

Poholke conceded that he had been offered a lot of money to coach in the Alberton League, reportedly $30,000 a year but wanted to stay closer to home to run his personal landscape gardening business.

Fevola to play at Bombers Former Carlton and Brisbane Lions full forward Brendan Fevola will line up

for Frankston Bombers in Round 1 next season.

The Bombers will tackle Pearcedale in the opening round of the Nepean League 2016 season, on Good Friday.

In further exciting news, Bombers are expected to confirm this week that the game will be played at the home of Frankston Dolphins at Kars St. Coach Beau Muston said it was an exciting get for the club.

“We’ve been working pretty hard in the past 12 months to change the perceptions of the club,” Muston said.

“This means that we need to start doing things a bit differently and become more relevant in the competition.

“Having Brendan for one game is an investment but we’re sure that on Good Friday, there’ll be plenty of people who want to come to Kars St to watch the opening round and ‘Fev’ running around.

Jewell not signed Despite rumours to the contrary since round six of the Nepean League season, Rosebud premiership coach Nick Jewell said there was nothing to ‘officially’ announce at Sorrento.

“I know what the rumours are but there is nothing official at this stage,” Jewell said.

However, Nick was informed by Leigh Poholke on Thursday night that he wasn’t playing football at Sorrento next season.

“I was at cricket training and when I came out there were three missed calls from Leigh. At that stage I thought to myself, this can’t be good news,” Nick said.

If Jewell hadn’t signed at Sorrento, one wonders why it would be bad news that Poholke has signed at Sorrento.

In further news from Nick, he said there was no truth to the rumour that Leigh Treeby was in the running for the Rosebud job.

Stratton unhappy New Crib Point coach Taylor Stratton was unhappy to read the paper last week, claiming he had been recruiting teammates as far back as Round 15 to join him at Crib Point.

“I wasn’t even coach of Crib Point in Round 15 – so I’m not sure where that came from,” Stratton said.

“If players want to join me at Crib, then fantastic, however, it’s not my intention to go through every player on the Hastings list and try and get them across.

“My brother Kain will join me but at this stage I think that will be it. If we can get everyone on the track at the start of pre-season training, I have no doubt we’ll be right up there again next season.

Hamish to Pines Pines are hopeful that they can land former North Melbourne and Geelong ruckman Hamish McIntosh.

The stumbling block at present appears to be the asking price, however, it is believed that he is very interested in joining his former teammate Aaron Edwards at the club.
