A MESSAGE F R O M C O U N C I L L O R DAV I D G A R N O C K

Hi Everybody! I believe that, helped by the WesternPort Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (WCCI) guidance and persistence, we’ve achieved a lot in Hastings over the past 12 months. Stronger focus on ‘safety’ in Hastings including: •CCTV Cameras in High Street Hastings •The new Local Law to help stop illegal and dangerous riding of motorcycles within townships across the Peninsula. •The State Government’s consideration of community pressure to put TransitPolice on trains using the Stony Point railway line in the evenings and early mornings. The “Renew Hastings Pop-up Shops” have been terrific in lifting the look of High Street and have encouraged a number of ‘budding’ traders to set-up permanent businesses in Hastings. Get around town and visit the lovely locally made and sourced talented artists in occupation. Out of the six in total set up three have been leased to long term tenants. Great result.

Numerous roadworks around Hastings including: • the installation of a temporary roundabout at the intersection of Graydens & Boes Road (a permanent roundabout is expected to be installed before July next year); • the installation of a new roundabout at the intersection of Hodgins Road and Marine Parade; • the sealing & strengthening of unsealed road shoulders and the installation of new kerbs, gutters and pedestrian crossings along Marine Parade; • the commencement of the reconstruction of Hodgins Road (near West Park); and • the rehabilitation and re-sealing of parts of Hendersons Road. New Alfred Street Mall: Construction of Phase 1 should be completed by December 13th for the Pop Up Park - Lego Competition day. Planning for Phase 2 (to connect the Mall through to High Street next Financial Year) is expected to start shortly.

Successful community consultations regarding:

• Department of Justice clean-up teams

• Hastings Township Structure Plan – The WCCI’s consolidated input was greatly appreciated. The revised Plan is scheduled for Council approval on 8 December. • High Street (beautification) Streetscape Framework Plan – A consultant has been engaged by the Shire to propose some options. These are expected to be put to the WCCI for consideration early next year.

• Graffiti removal kits

• Hastings Laneway Audit (including “way-finding” Signage) – A consultant has been engaged by the Shire to propose some options. These are expected to be put to the WCCI for consideration early next year. • Hastings South “Coastal Management Plan” – The revised draft CMP incorporates valuable community feedback received during the Public Exhibition period. It is scheduled for Council approval on 8 December.

• The Shire’s summer “Clean Teams” • Better advertising of how businesses & residents can report issues (eg. defects, graffiti, rubbish) to the Shire for rectification. And, last but not least, plans to bring the Otama Submarine ashore in Hastings received a magnificent boost recently when Neale Burgess announced the State Government’s pledge of $1m to ‘kick-start’ the project. I truly appreciate strong ‘advocacy’ role that the WesternPort Chamber of Commerce and Industry has played in supportingme to pursue assistance from Federal, State and Local Government politicians and agencies for work to improve the look,feel and conditions in Hastings. Keep up the great work!

Improvements to the Shire’s & the Community’s capacity to deal with graffiti & illegally dumped rubbish in and around Hastings through such initiatives as:

Cr David Garnock

• Adopt-a-hot-spot program

- UP POP HASTINGS! Up Pop Hastings is a program to reinvigorate Hastings, bringing life through art to a sleepy township making it a more diverse shopping precinct and encouraging new tenants to town. The Up Pop Hastings programs success over the past 6 months, with six micro businesses showcasing local art and design, two of the spaces have been leased. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the artists and volunteers whom have helped make for such a fun and viable project which is only just beginning.

- W H AT ’ S N E X T T O P O P ? The WesternPort Chamber of Commerce and Industry are working around developing and activating the township with future extensions to the POP UP programme with our first POP UP PARK in the (Kmart Carpark) on Saturday December 13th. There will be a temporary one day installation, hosting a Lego Competition and free games for the whole family. Soon followed by Thursday December 18th, Hastings High Streets first ever POP UP PATCHES in car spaces on the High Street. This will offer the local businesses an opportunity to think outside the box, create a unique dining experience and add some fun to our town centre.

Peninsula loyal to Liberals Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Labor Party may have won government in Victoria, but the Mornington Peninsula stayed where it has been for years: solidly behind the Liberal Party. Saturday’s poll held no election surprises on the peninsula, with all three Liberal candidates being re-elected with safe margins. The Coalition’s loss will go down in the history books as the first one-term government in Victoria since 1955. David Morris is back for Mornington with 62.39 per cent of the vote; Martin Dixon in Nepean, with 57 per cent; and Neale Burgess, Hastings, 57.67 per cent. While Labor made inroads in all three seats – Mornington (3.8 per cent swing), Nepean (6.67 per cent) and Hastings (1.93 per cent) – the outcome never seemed in doubt. In Hastings, Mr Burgess had the smallest swing to Labor of the three peninsula Liberals. On Monday Mr Burgess said the Coalition had failed to “sell its message”, adding that “the community never gets it wrong”. While on the campaign trail Mr Burgess said he had felt a “general feeling that [the poll loss] was the way it was going to go”. The public was unaware of the achievements of the Liberal-led government.

“They didn’t want to go back to Labor but they didn’t want us, either,” Mr Burgess said. He said campaigning had “got to be about the people”. He said this year’s state budget – which contained the biggest spending on infrastructure ever seen – had been “completely forgotten” a week later by the release of the federal budget. Without committing to a particular leader for the Liberals following Denis Napthine’s decision to stand down, Mr Burgess said Labor “breathed a massive sigh of relief when Matthew Guy had not followed [the resignation of Ted] Baillieu”. Despite the loss of government, Mr Burgess said he would “fight every step of the way” to achieve his preelection commitments. Roadside billboards put up by Mr Burgess gave no hint that he represented the party, only stating that he was the State Member for Hastings and “working hard” for whichever town the billboard was erected. The billboards went up before the government entered caretaker mode and could be paid for from Mr Burgess’s normal electoral allowance, which covers office expenses. Electoral laws prohibited the signs being branded with party insignia. Campaign funds would have had to be used if they had been erected later, although they would have been allowed to carry Liberal Party branding. Before the election, Mr Burgess said

Home safe: Neale Burgess gets a congratulatory hug from one of his supporters as early counting in saturday’s poll showed he had been re-elected as Hastings MP for the third time in a row. Picture: Yanni stickers would be used to add party branding to the signs, but many seen by The News were not altered. Mr Burgess also distributed a 12page brochure without party branding in the weeks leading up to the restrictive caretaker period. A Liberal MP, who did not want to be named, told The News that some of his colleagues “think being identified

as Liberal is not helpful”. In the neighbouring seat of Bass – formerly held by the retiring Speaker Ken Smith (a former Hastings councillor) – Liberal Brian Paynter won with a 55.22 per cent majority, although there was a swing to Labor of 7.18 per cent. This swing could in part have been caused by the Coalition’s plans to build a major container port at Hast-

ings which is facing growing opposition from communities around western Port, including Phillip and French islands. Mr Burgess campaigned in favour of the port expansion and his past record. It was his third consecutive win in the electorate after failing at his first attempt in 2002. Continued Page 8

Western Port News 2 December 2014


NEWS DESK

Buses replace trains for at least 12 months Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au METRO Trains will trial new track circuit technology to try and solve the problem of faulty boom gate triggers on the Stony Point train line. If the trial is successful, the technology "could be rolled out within six months of the trial ending", says Metro spokeswoman Pauline O'Connor. This means buses will continue to replace at least three train services a day on weekdays, and will run for at least 12 months and possibly longer since the problems emerged. Buses first replaced trains in early August after several incidents in June and July saw boom gates not triggered or opening while trains were stopped at nearby stations ("Line call after gates glitch", The News, 2/9/14). Only single-carriage trains were causing trigger problems. These trains are used for off-peak services. Ms O'Connor said there had "been several faults on the Stony Point line this year where some boom gates have not operated correctly, all of which occurred while single-car sprinters were in service". "We experienced faults at the Disney St, Crib Point, and Baxter-Tooradin Rd Baxter station level crossings," she said. "There have not been any instances where a train has travelled through a level crossing with the booms in the up position, and there has never been any risk of collision with cars or pedestrians when a train has proceeded

at extreme caution. "A driver is only able to proceed through a level crossing when the booms are in the down position." Jim Chrysostomou, assistant secretary of the Rail Tram and Bus Union's locomotive division, said Metro and country train operator V/Line had known about the problem of singlecarriage country trains not triggering boom gates since 2012. Last week, The News reported that drivers had initiated the ban on driving single-carriage trains by refusing to uncouple two-carriage trains at Stony Point but Metro said it was its decision. "As a safety measure, we are running all Stony Point line services as double-cars (two-car sprinters instead of single-car) until we have a long-term solution in place," Ms O'Connor said. "Unfortunately, three services every weekday will be replaced with buses until further notice. We appreciate this is an inconvenience and apologise to our affected customers." The services with buses are the 5.41am Stony Point to Frankston service, 11.04am Stony Point to Frankston and 6.35pm Frankston to Stony Point. Boom gates were installed on the last five of 20 level crossings on the line to Frankston in 2008 and 2009 at Somerville (3) and Crib Point (2). Asked if the future of the Stony Point line was assured, Ms O'Connor said: "Normal services continue to run along the Stony Point line, except the three weekday services that have been replaced with buses.”

Cafe award for child care centre BALNARRING Early Learning Centre has won the Child Care/ School Canteen section of this year’s Mornington Peninsula Shire-run Best Bites awards. “I am excited to receive this award on behalf of our service and to be recognised for the hard work we have put into providing high quality care and education for our children and families,” centre director Christine Jeremiah said. Hummingbird Eco Retreat, Red Hill, was named Restaurant of the Year, while Mt Martha’s Milkbar & Co won Cafe of the Year. Other category winners were Bed &

Breakfast – Harmony Bed & Breakfast, Fingal; Supermarket - Ritchies IGA, Mt Eliza; Take Away - Yo My Goodness, Mornington, and Innovation - Portsea Hotel, Portsea and La Casa Nostra Deli Rosebud. An independent panel assessed finalists in each category to determine the winners. The Best Bites program recognises the most outstanding local food businesses in the areas of food safety, healthy eating, sustainability and access for all. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb presented the awards at a community council meeting in Mt

Eliza on 24 November. She said all the winners and nominees deserved their recognition. “The Best Bites winners set great examples within our local food industry by ensuring that our community has access to safe and healthy food options from businesses that use environmentally sustainable food practices, in premises that are safe and accessible,” Cr Colomb said.

Racing time puts this family on track Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MOTOR racing for Graeme Bell is a family affair. His three children – Sean, 26, Chris, 24 and Jess, 22 - are all keen racers who compete with him at club events throughout Victoria and New South Wales. Mr Bell enjoyed motor racing in the mid-1990s in a BMW 323 but, like many parents, had to put his own activities on hold while his children were little. Now they have grown up, the family races as a team at state level championships under the name of Graeme’s company, Bell Motorsport, in Marine Pde, Hastings. Racing BMWs this year Sean, of Somerville, won the BMW E30 Racing Championship for 2014. The onemake event is run at state championship race meetings all over Victoria and into NSW. His father previously won this race in the 1990s. Jess, also of Somerville, won this year’s BMW Club Driver’s Championship in only her second year of racing. Her solid aggregate points score over six races at Phillip Island, Sandown, Winton, Calder - and a hill climb near Moe - earned her the prize. She has been signed to drive for a new V8 Supercar team next year. Chris, of Bittern, was part of a fourdriver team - managed by Graeme which won the 2014 Winton Six-Hour Relay Race last month. It’s the second time they have won this event. Graeme and Sean - driving together in the recent Winton 300 two-driver

300km endurance race - won their class after qualifying 30th out of 76 cars. Their win was all the more notable as they beat some tough competition from V8 Commodores and Falcons. “It was pretty amazing that we managed to come ninth outright,” Mr Bell said. Then, to cap off the year in a worthwhile way, this family of racers joined 40 other drivers at Sandown on

22 November for a charity ride day for the BMW Car Club of Victoria, giving rides to children under the care of the Make a Wish Foundation and The Salvos. The 190 disadvantaged, disabled or ill children were taken for a ride in Porsches, BMWs, hot Toranas and Falcons, and historic cars of all makes and models. “We spent the whole day taking kids for rides and it was one of the high-

lights of the year,” Mr Bell said. He said his children “didn’t have much choice” taking up motor racing. “I was very involved and they just sort of joined in,” he said. “When they were in their teens they started to come to track days with me and learn to drive. They all had their racing licences before they had their normal car licences. “They began helping me run track days and, before long, our family time

was at track days.” Even his partner, Jo, got “dragged in”, he said. She recently bought an old Mini – a make which has a solid racing history. She hopes to eventually take it to the track. Jess summed up the familial link on her Facebook page: “Not many families have the connection we have, nor can they come together like we do at a race meet. I'm so incredibly lucky to be a part of a family that does it all together.”

Masters of the airwaves show support TYABB oval was buzzing on Monday morning with football, cricket and radio personalities coming together to support the Luke Batty Foundation and Tyabb Junior Football Club. Triple M Hot Breakfast team of Eddie McGuire, Mick Molloy and Luke Darcy put on the show with special guests Shane Warne, Billy Brownless, St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt and player Leigh Montagna. The fun day fulfilled a promise made by the Hot Breakfast team to Luke’s mother, Rosie Batty, to help restore the club to being a place of joy. Footballers from St Kilda and Collingwood, Melbourne Stars cricketers and Melbourne City soccer players held clinics alongside an animal farm, dunking machine, snake handlers, fire trucks, slushy machines and mini golf. Warne entertained by showing off his bowling skills to Mick, Darce and some lucky youngsters. Rosie Batty, top, shared the microphone with Mick Molloy, Eddie McGuire and former footballer and now radio presenter, Luke Darcy.

Rosie posed with former Test spin bowler Shane Warne, bottom right, while McGuire, top left, sang the Collingwood Football Club song with Flynn Good, 6, of Sorrento. The sad events that led to this day at Tyabb were perhaps best personified by the couple, right, who took a few reflective moments away from the performances and giveaways of the media event.

United against violence under White Ribbon ACTIVIST Phil Cleary spoke about ending family violence at White Ribbon Day celebrations and community barbecue at Hastings last week. Mr Cleary is no stranger to family violence: his only sister, Vicki, was killed by a violent ex-partner, and the incident changed forever the lives of those who loved her. He has become a vocal advocate for changes to current laws around protecting family-violence victims, and for a more regulated form of policing of perpetrators. Those gathered were confronted with statistics highlighting increases in family-violence incidents across the peninsula. Senior Sergeant Alan Courtney, of Hastings Police, said a family violence task force had been created to liaise more closely with perpetrators and victims to ensure a better outcome for affected families and individuals. Reaffirming the shire’s support for the White Ribbon message the council adopted a Commitment Statement: The

Mornington Peninsula Shire says ‘No’ to family violence in all its forms. The shire acknowledges that men are also victims of family violence, however, women and children are at greatest risk. The shire pledges to work for the prevention of family violence and commits to the following actions:  To work with key stakeholders to ensure the peninsula is a safe place and act to eliminate family violence in all its forms;  To encourage respectful relationships between all members of the community and promote the rights of everyone to live free from family violence;  To provide opportunities for women, men and children to participate equally in all spheres of public and private life;  To develop and implement a specific action plan to assist in the prevention of family violence that promotes health and wellbeing “It was the people ‘on the ground’ that made the day a real success,” Hastings Community House manager Lisa Glover said.

“Respectful Relationships Group and Hastings Community House provided a display of support message on clothing items decorated by local students and then strung up on a large clothesline. “Support messages were also available for signing on little leaves to be pinned to a ‘Hope Tree’ and on a large white ribbon themed sheet.” Both groups raised funds for the Luke Batty Foundation. Donation tins are available at Hastings Community House. Also at the White Ribbon Day event were Cr David Garnock, Hastings Senior Sergeant Alan Courtney and Peninsula Community Health’s Stewart McMullin. Anyone needing assistance can call 1800 737 732, a 24-hour, national sexual assault, family and domestic violence counselling line for those who have experienced, or is at risk of, family and domestic violence and/or sexual assault.

Continued from Page 1 Nepean MP and Education Minister Martin Dixon, re-elected for the sixth time, said the main difference in voting patterns in his electorate had been “a bigger increase for the Greens”. He had won 18 out of 20 booths and expected his lead – 13.7 per cent ahead of Labor’s Carolyn Gleixner – to increase as pre-poll and postal votes were counted. “But it’s a small consolation when you lose government,” Mr Dixon said. Six of his ministerial advisers would now be out of jobs. Mr Dixon said he would like Labor to complete the restructure of the Education Department, making it a “service to schools, not their manager”. “We were weaning schools off the department and putting resources back into them”. Mr Dixon said there was “no one reason” for the Coalition’s loss: “Nothing’s black and white in politics.” He said federal issues had made things difficult for the state government by not explaining its austerity programs. He had not seen any indication of the swing to Labor while working with Liberal candidates in marginal seats. “I was always buoyed by the reception [of voters] and their high recognition of our candidates,” Mr Dixon said. “In Frankston the Labor candidate [Paul Edbrooke] didn’t do much but unionists were out doorknocking and frightening people. “I had a positive sense we would win the election, it [the loss] was a bit of a surprise.

“I had no sense people were out there with baseball bats.” Mr Dixon would not speculate on who would replace Denis Napthine as Liberal leader: “The king’s dead. I’m just coming to terms with our loss and have been calling colleagues to see if they are OK.” While former Labor premier Steve Bracks told ABC TV viewers on election night that the new government would have a look at the contract recently signed for a geothermal spa and accommodation-based project at Point Nepean National park, Mr Dixon warned that ripping it up could lead to compensation being sought by the developer. “They haven’t said it officially, but maybe it’s another contract [as well as the East West Link] to be ripped up,” he said. “The proponent has already expended some money and maybe would expect some compensation.” Mr Dixon said he did not know of any compensation clause in the lease given to the Point Leisure group headed by Richard Shelmerdine. Mr Morris said the outgoing Coalition had been “a good government that took the right decisions but people in a few seats did not agree”. However, results for his seat of Mornington made it the third safest seat in the state. He said the election campaign for the Coalition “started from behind and was closing at the end, but not enough”. “We sold our commitments for the future but not as effectively as we should have done in the timeframe.” Mr Morris accused Labor of “tell-

ing lies for a number of years and we didn’t rebut them”. He said the lies included claims “that TAFE was destroyed” when the government had ensured that course being offered related to real jobs “and were not just lifestyle choices”. Another lie was a claim that the Coalition had “lost” 68,000 jobs when figures showed an extra 80,000 jobs being available since Labor lost power in 2010. Mr Morris said the federal government’s inability to get its budget passed “didn’t help”. “It’s a challenge for any state cam-

paign to get oxygen – to get a clear run – when the federal budget is still going. It eats into air time and other stories available to us.” Mr Morris said he would have been happy for Denis Napthine to stay as Liberal leader “in the interim”, adding that he would “see what the field is” before entering the debate over who should lead the party. “He did a good job under difficult circumstances.” Now elected to his third term as the MP for Mornington, Mr Morris said it had been “a pretty good career so far. It’s a privilege to serve.”

Finance man new CEO Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire councillors have dipped into the world of business finance rather than local government to find the shire’s new CEO. The appointment of Carl Cowie, who was born and educated in Scotland, was announced at a special council meeting last Wednesday. He started work on Monday. The shire was unable to provide Mr Cowie’s age or other basic information but The News believes he is in his late 40s. Previous employment history was taken from his LinkedIn listing. Mr Cowie replaces Dr Michael Kennedy, who unexpectedly left the shire mid-November after almost 16 years after being told by councillors he had not made the short list of candidates when his job was advertised for the first time since his appointment in 1999. Dr Kennedy’s $350,000 a year contract was paid out. It was due to expire in February next year. Mr Cowie is the third CEO of the super shire created by forced amalgamation almost 20 years ago. He follows Warwick Dilley (1995-99) and Dr Kennedy (1999-2014). Mayor Cr Bev Colomb said councillors were “looking forward to introducing Carl to the Mornington Peninsula community. He will bring a fresh perspective to the leadership role”. “We are excited about the opportunity to look at everything with new eyes, and explore new ideas and processes.” Cr Colomb said Mr Cowie “is an internationally experienced senior executive leader, who has used his finance background to lead significant business turnarounds”. “With experience in healthcare, facilities management, transport, manufacturing and construction project management his focus has been on building a stronger business or organisation,

maximising performance and customer satisfaction,” she said. “Through strong personal management, his philosophy is one of a ‘hands-on’ approach to building high performance teams and executing a clear business strategy.” The mayor said Mr Cowie holds qualifications in economics, finance, an MBA from Monash Mt Eliza Business School, and studied at Harvard’s School of Public Health in Boston. Mr Cowie said he was looking forward to working with everyone to make a positive contribution to the success of the shire. His most recent job was director of Admin Solutions in Melbourne (16 months), providing strategic, contract negotiation and tender advice to public, private and not-for-profit organisations. Before this he was general manager of business and industry-managed services with Spotless Group (21 months). Between December 2007 and May 2011 (3

years 6 months) he held various roles with National Patient Transport Group including chief financial officer, CEO and company secretary. Prior to this Mr Cowie was interim chief financial officer of Solar Systems (6 months), preparing the company for a major equity investor. He was finance director of Grove Group between 2005 and 2007 (2 years 1 month); chief operating officer of a private hospital in Doha, Qatar, for one year; and general manager of Caulfield Hospital for more than three years between October 2000 and January 2004. Mr Cowie completed an honours degree in business studies at Robert Gordon’s Institute of Technology in Aberdeen, Scotland, between 1985 and 1989. He is a qualified accountant and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. The new CEO is married to Terri and they have three sons and live in Wheelers Hill near Glen Waverley.

Roadside trees bushfire danger David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au A SAVAGE bushfire season is being predicted for Victoria over the next three or four months. Recent heavy rain is promoting grass growth on the Mornington Peninsula and many treed areas are cluttered with dead undergrowth and fine fuels, perfect kindling for a carelessly discarded cigarette or an arsonist. Hundreds of kilometres of shire roadsides are infested with pinus radiata, a shire-declared incendiary weed that firefighters call “Roman candles” – they carry flames at speed into treetops that on a hot day can be filled with explosive eucalypt vapour. Mornington Peninsula Shire has already inspected more than 4000 properties for fire hazards this season and has so far issued almost 1600 fire prevention notices. Property owners must ensure their land is not a fire hazard by slashing grass to 100mm (4 inches) or less as well as clearing fallen and dead vegetation. However, roadsides remain dangerous, especially main roads that would be used by residents fleeing fires. Many radiata are old and ready to fall, which can happen even on still days and would block escape routes. Little appears to have been done to seriously tackle this problem in the past 15 to 20 years. VicRoads and the shire are responsible for roadside maintenance. The shire roadsides management plan is likely to be considered by the council in mid-December. Its aims are:

 Preventing or reducing the risk of fires on roadsides.  Preventing the risk of spread of fire from the road reserve.  Managing safety of road users.  Providing control lines (for suppression of fires).  Ensuring recovery of roadside vegetation after roadside fires. So far the shire has acknowledged the pine problem by “elevating” them – removing lower branches so flammable material is above a grass fire’s reach. Removing the trees is massively expensive. The other aims of the plan are vague or come into effect during or after fires. The shire has designated 12 Neighbourhood Safer Places, all but Balnarring in coastal suburbs or townships. For hinterland dwellers, where no safe place has been declared, shire advice is to leave early on fire danger days. But many of the escape routes leading to safety in the event of north winddriven fires are pine-infested. Arthurs Seat can be highly dangerous. Escape routes from it are west down the switchback Arthurs Seat Rd to Dromana, south along pine-infested Purves Rd to a number of other infested roads, or east along heavily treed and winding Arthurs Seat Rd. The CFA has estimated a fire starting beside the Mornington Peninsula Freeway could take just four minutes to reach the Arthurs Seat summit. Authorities will need to decide whether to close the proposed Skylift chairlift on days of acute fire danger, especially with the possibility that crowds of tourists at the summit could

be stranded, their vehicles parked at the foot of the slope at the bottom station. A further danger is deliberately lit fires. One occurred in January beside the freeway at Dromana but was quickly put out although it destroyed the thatched roof cafe of historic property Heronswood. The CFA estimates more than 40 per cent of fires are deliberately lit, not all of them on high fire danger days. “Bushfires don’t wait for a Code Red day,” a veteran firefighter said. “They don’t start on schedule. People don’t slash their paddocks, the shire is only required to slash and maintain a limited roadside area. There are people who oppose cleaning up roadsides because of plants and animals and too bad for people and stock caught in any fire. “The shire has a huge problem that

Rich renovations THE Portsea and Sorrento area is tops for home renovation spending in Victoria. A report by two research companies for Westpac Bank has the area at number two in Australia behind Sydney’s suburb of Mosman, where homeowners spent $76 million. Property owners in the two high property price towns at the end of the Mornington Peninsula spent $41.7 million. Third place went to Albert Park in inner Melbourne on $41.3 million. Victoria had seven places in the top 10 including Brighton, Richmond, Toorak, Hawthorn, and Malvern– Glen Iris. About $600 million worth of residential renovations and conversions was approved in the past 12 months, a four-year, post-GFC high.

Passenger dies

just keeps on growing. I’ve watched the place turn into suburbia and they don’t think about dangers like smoke and embers. You can’t drive to safety if you can’t see where you’re going.” The firefighter said this was a particular problem on the southern peninsula, where beachgoers could be unaffected by fires on the ocean beaches until the wind swung to the southwest, blowing smoke and embers on them. “There doesn’t seem to be a plan to get people safely out of areas past Rye,” he said. “The road system simply can’t handle panicking crowds. The freeway was closed a few years ago by quite a small fire at McCrae, leaving Point Nepean Rd to cope with thousands of cars. “We just have to pray each year that it doesn’t happen down here.”

A WOMAN has died in hospital following a crash at Tuerong Saturday afternoon. Police said a Mazda and Ford collided at the intersection of Coolart and Hunts roads about 3pm. The 25-year-old female passenger of the Mazda was taken to The Alfred hospital where she later died from her injuries. The Mazda driver, a 27-year-old Carlton man, sustained minor injuries. The driver of the Ford, a 30-yearold Balnarring man, also sustained minor injuries. Rosebud highway patrol has appealed for witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au

Carbon pledge changes shire’s course Mt Eliza Community Hall, Monday 24 November. The usual fine nourishment followed by some feisty debate in a meeting that ran over time. By David Harrison DID Council Watch detect a frisson running through the meeting as it ranged across topics from growing fruit and vegies on your nature strip (who owns them?) to who chairs council meetings? Was the frisson in any way associated with anticipation about the meeting two days later, at which the new shire chief executive officer was to be announced? The councillors all knew the new CEO’s identity and were commendably, annoyingly for CW, zipper-lipped. Perhaps the secret distracted them. Back to the nature strip. While growing produce outside your house is not entirely frivolous – ask that hugely bearded ABC TV gardening chap – it was, on a scale of 10, about 3 compared with councillors committing the shire to carbon neutrality. (Who owns the vegies? asked Cr Tim Rodgers, perhaps envisioning his gravid Grosse Lisse vanishing the night before a free range salad soiree.) What is important is that prams and wheelchairs, and even pedestrians, can negotiate their way past your house. Such additions as a sprinkler system and/or fake grass must not impede passers-by. Probably a bit late to plant Grosse Lisse this year. Deeply significant was councillors’ vote on committing the shire to a carbon-neutral future. A vigorous debate proceeded. Some councillors

tried to water down “commit” to “investigate”, but the majority was having none of it. For CW, “commit” was the crux. One commits to a course of action, then investigates the best way to achieve the goal that has been set. To investigate allows for an escape route at the end of the process. Cr Rodgers was proposing in his motion that the commitment be immediate and absolute. A secondary issue was that all references to “committed to sustainable peninsula” be abolished and that the stylised multi-coloured triangular logo also be done away with, leaving us with the sea snail shell logo. This also met resistance, on grounds of cost and need to consult the community. The counter-argument prevailed – that “sustainable” had become a tainted term, captured and used as a smokescreen by some business rogues. Besides, argued Cr Hugh Fraser, shire executives with titles such as “sustainable” environment and “sustainable” organisation were forever explaining to the community just what their job was. Exhume the chief financial officer, says CW, and the planning director, or even plain old planning manager. Older readers probably still yearn for the town clerk, replaced by the chief executive officer in the Kennett era. Cr Fraser argued that the shire had

to move away from the “sustainable peninsula” slogans to grapple with the need to become carbon neutral, by looking at practical ways to deal with carbon rather than sticking with the “malleable concept” of sustainability. Cr Andrew Dixon felt the proposal was “for the new CEO” as it dealt in part with organisational structure. Warming to his theme, he was cautioned by the chair for intemperate language and raising his voice. CW felt he had an arguable point on pre-empting input from the new CEO, who we now know is Carl Cowie, a Scot, dour or otherwise, who will be at his desk and responsible for all staff matters by the time you read this. Cr David Gibb, seeking investigation rather than commitment on carbon, argued that information should be gathered and the community consulted. “We might have to buy carbon credits … I’d like to know [if that will be the case],” he said. “I think that within bounds I’m prepared to spend that money, but I’d like to know that the community thinks about that because it might have a direct impact on the rate burden.” Cr Fraser argued the council “had to start with the commitment – Cr Gibb has himself said he’d like to commit”. “The only issue then is, let’s gather the information and then let’s fix the date and then let’s fix what needs to be done. It’s an important statement of principle that we commit to a policy of carbon neutrality.” Cr David Garnock said he was committed to carbon neutrality “in due course, too, when we have investigated it properly”. The cost of

buying carbon credits overseas “could be absolutely mammoth”. He believed the community would support carbon neutrality, following up with an Andrew Dixon language moment for which he instantly apologised. He is, we must remember, ex-navy. Cr Rodgers was pleased with councillors’ general support for a carbon commitment. We have wind, he said, we have sun, “we are 98 per cent sure we have a massive geothermal thing under [the peninsula], proved by Point Nepean and the hot springs.” (The development at Point Nepean’s Quarantine Station must find underground hot water or it will not go ahead. It will almost certainly find its water.) After much debate about amended and substantive motions, the vote on this profound matter was called. In the absence of Cr Lynn Bowden, mayor Bev Colomb had used her casting vote twice to get the meeting to this point. For the commitment to carbon neutrality: Andrew Dixon, Tim Wood, Tim Rodgers, Hugh Fraser, Graham Pittock, Antonella Celi, Bev Colomb. Against: Anne Shaw, David Garnock, David Gibb. CW commends this very important green debate to readers. It can be found on the shire website, mornpen.vic.gov.au; our shire>our council>minutes & agendas>council meeting audio recordings>2014>24 November.

No profit coffee MT MARTHA’S newest coffee shop is not aiming to make a profit. Its owners say the coffee is good and they’ll be selling “something nice to eat”, their reason for operating is “all about people”. The Salvos are opening a “pop in” style cafe this month 9am–3pm Fridays at the front of their church building at 750 Nepean Highway. “The main purpose is to give people a place to meet others, where we hope community will grow in a safe and welcoming space,” Salvo officer Lieutenant Sean Mapleback said. “We come across many in our community who are simply lonely and this will be a chance to come and enjoy cafe-standard coffee and a chat without worrying about sitting too long at a table.” The Sanctuary Cafe will offer coffee and cake at “an inexpensive price” and its opening hours will be extended to include Mondays in the new year. “We’re not aiming to be the most popular and it’s not a money-making venture,” Lieutenant Mapleback said. “It’s about creating a space for everyone, a space for interaction and conversation, and creating a sense of community and belonging.”

Cafe collects toys CHRISTMAS has come early to Mornington cafe Via Boffe, with staff and customers collecting gifts for The Smith Family’s annual Toy & Book Appeal. Owner, Susanne Xipolitos, hopes to encourage the community to consider those less fortunate by inviting them to donate new toys and books. These will be distributed to disadvantaged children on Sunday 14 December.

Coast guide charts peninsula’s wild shore Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au AUTHOR Graham Patterson took a financial risk last year when he self-published his book Coastal guide to nature and history – Port Phillip Bay. It was the first of what he hoped would be a series of Coastal Guide Books about his 40 years walking the Victorian shoreline. He started the ambitious task in his mid-20s and is now in his mid-60s, and has covered three-quarters of the coast. “Whether I finish the task depends on my fitness,” he said. Mr Patterson, 66, a retired secondary school science teacher, was surprised at the reception the book received. It has sold in bookshops, to special interest groups, school libraries and to friends and acquaintances. Now the second volume has just been published – Coastal guide to nature and history 2 – Mornington Peninsula’s ocean shore, Western Port, Phillip Island & French Island. The two books provide a comprehensive guide to the peninsula’s 190 kilometres of coast, almost 10 per cent of Victoria's coastline. When he started walking the shores in the early 1970s, he had no ambition to publish a book or books. “I was doing it for my own pleasure and fitness,” he said. But during the walks he began to wonder about what he was seeing. What are these animals and plants? How was the rock layer in that cliff formed? What was this place like when it was in the range of indigenous tribes and then settled by Europeans? He started walking sections for the second book about 15 years ago and has covered all 320 kilometres, which includes the Bass Strait coast from Point Nepean to Flinders, right around Western Port, and around its two main islands, French and Phillip. Ocean emotion: Graham Patterson has walked Victoria’s coastline between South Australia and Wilsons Promontory, and written the second in a series of books, Coastal guide to nature and history 2 – Mornington Peninsula’s ocean shore, Western Port, Phillip Island & French Island. Picture: Gary Sissons

It contains general walking and safety advice, Aboriginal and European history, and information about coastal animals and plants, landforms, and coast management. “It’s not exclusively a walking book but more a small encyclopedia of the region,” he told The News. Mr Patterson spent hours researching in libraries and historical societies as well as talking with experts. He returned to places previously walked after having the book idea to take photos and has included historic images from the State Library of Victoria and other sources. He walked the coast of French Island in two lots of two days. A Parks Victoria ranger drove him to various points. He spent many stints walking around Phillip Island. “Access to the coast has become more restricted over the years,” he said. “Several places used by birds for breeding are now inaccessible, which is a good thing. The northern end of Western Port was a challenge. “There was no point trying to walk between Tooradin airfield and the Bunyip River as the shore is lined with mangroves and mudflats. I paddled this stretch in my kayak but was reminded of the struggles of the early European settlers when I misjudged the tide and became stranded near the Bunyip River.” He used his paddle on the mud as a makeshift walking plank and dragged the kayak free after much effort. “In 1857 Alex Mickle and his wife Agnes had to spend the night on their boat when they became stuck in the mud. Agnes later told her friends she was not perturbed as she had her knitting. I didn’t have knitting so was pleased to get out of there before nightfall.” The book covers the creation of Western Port when land between faultlines began to sink millions of years ago. Other sections include advice for walkers, safety and tides, Aboriginal and European history, animals and plants, landforms, and coastal management. The book, which was printed in Melbourne, has maps, a list of references and further reading, and a comprehensive index.  Coastal guide to nature and history 2 – Mornington Peninsula’s ocean shore, Western Port, Phillip Island & French Island by Graham Patterson, 176 pages, paperback, $30 post-free from www.coastalguidebooks.net.au

NEWS DESK Poster ploy I am sure that the citizens of Bittern, who are fair minded and considerate of other residents point of view, would be disgusted as I was on learning that on voting morning an adult watched by four other adults also wearing a Liberal blazened t-shirt, tore down and tried to hide the posters of another party, outside the Bittern Primary School. I don’t want to be governed by a party whose leadership encourages this sort of behavour by its selected represantives. Peter Strickland, Bittern

Build pool now I write to you finally sick and tired of the lack of action from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council over our non-pool. I cannot understand how, after 10 years we still do not have a set location let alone a turned sod that would indicate the start of construction [for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic centre, SPA]. If I understand the situation, the shire council has in the past agreed on at least two occasions to build the pool on Point Nepean Rd at Boneo Rd. But we now, 10 years later, find ourselves without agreement as to the location of the now old non-pool. Meanwhile, the residents and visitors to this area have to travel to the new pool at Frankston [Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre] or to the older pool at Hastings [Pelican Park Recreation Centre]. How can this farce continue? And what does our local member [Nepean MP Martin Dixon] think of all this? I would like to know, but we haven’t heard from him for some time. I would think that the solution is

fairly simple - pick a location and build it. The shire CEO apparently gets paid more than the premier of the state perhaps its time the wage was earned. And what of the democratic process? If our elected officials have voted in favour of the pool, how and why do the nay sayers have this overturned - twice? I am sick of this indecision and delay. The timeline on this inaction is embarrassing for the shire. Bernie Magee, Rosebud Editor: In the lead up to last Saturday’ state election Nepean MP Martin Dixon offered $3 million towards the pool. However, the Coalition lost government and the incoming Labor government has made no such commitment.

Concessions end Denise Hassett's letter (‘Concession alert’, Letters, The News 25/11/14) prompted me to peruse the Australian Parliament website. Your pensioner readers will find the following section of an Australian Parliament article to be of interest: “Terminating funding for concessions: The Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) entitles holders to a range of benefits including cheaper medicines under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme as well as a wide range of discounts and services provided by state, territory and local governments. Most important among the concessions provided by state and territory governments are discounts on rates, utility bills, motor vehicle registration charges and public transport fares. For example, in New South Wales, PCC holders can receive a $225 rebate on their yearly electricity bills and are ex-

empt from fees for licences, registration and the motor vehicle tax. Under the National Partnership Agreement on certain concessions for pensioner concession card and Seniors Card holders, the Commonwealth provides financial assistance to the states and territories for the provision of these concessions to PCC holders. The most recent agreement commenced in January 2013 and is set to expire on 30 June 2016. The Commonwealth intends to terminate this agreement from 1 July 2014, and will no longer provide financial assistance to the states and territories for the provision of concessions, providing savings of $1.3 billion over four years. The states and territories are yet to issue a response to this measure but it is likely that, without this financial assistance, many concessions currently available will be withdrawn or reduced. Any changes will raise the cost of living for pensioners and retirees, particularly in terms of energy bills and transport costs.” Barry Hocking, Mt Martha

Preferences I find it interesting that [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon, who claims to be so concerned about the environment, public space and the green wedge, has listed the Greens last on his [voting] preference list. So you gotta wonder what he is all about: certainly not committed enough to list the party most likely to uphold his self-proclaimed values second on his preferences. The Greens, of course, trump all parties in these endeavours. You would think he would list second the candidate most likely to support his self-proclaimed objectives. But no, it is not about supporting the candidate who could do the best job for

the constituency; it is all about getting elected and, if he doesn’t, then why care who does? Joe lenzo, Safety Beach

Suicide concern I would like your readers to reconsider some perspectives from the male viewpoint as we tire of the continuous accounts of “male bashing” (misandry) that is so constantly in the media. There are two viewpoints that must be considered with these matters to achieve equity. It is positively shocking that one woman dies by domestic violence each week, but it is also shocking that six men a day die by suicide. Fallacious restraining orders are one of the causes of (younger) male suicide even though the police and magistrates do an honest job in ascertaining the validity of such orders. It is said that a significant percentage of domestic violence is not reported, invalidating the statistics so often quoted. There are eight types of domestic violence (Australian government review 2012). I contend that men rarely report domestic violence – ask any police person. Hopelessness and despair is very common among yesterday’s men over 65 and so also is suicide. Our quest could well be to make men feel like today’s men. It can be done collaboratively. Suicide can be regarded as a permanent solution to a temporary problem. In fact everything can best be done collaboratively in terms of domestic violence and suicide. The suggestion is that we should look at things another way, not this counter-productive “us versus them” continuum and frenzies of misandry. Tony Nicholl, Mt Eliza

Red Cross appeal As the festive season approaches and as we reach the end of our centenary year, I am reminded of the wonderful work of our Red Cross volunteers. Each year our volunteers give hundreds of hours of their time to help people in crisis, not only in our local community but right around the world. I am also constantly humbled by the generous public support we receive for our everyday work. Donations to Red Cross help provide a healthy breakfast for kids who might otherwise go to school hungry, allow us to make a phone call every day to check that elderly or isolated people are OK, and help ensure remote communities in the Asia-Pacific have access to clean drinking water. We also work in communities to help vulnerable families cope with the pressures of life, build pathways out of homelessness and work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples. Despite our best efforts however, there are always new families that need our help each year, new communities that find themselves in crisis, and a growing number of lonely, elderly people who find themselves cut off from friends and family. At this time of the year, when the generosity of all Australians shines through I would like to urge everyone to put a little something aside for people and families in crisis. To give to the Red Cross Festive Appeal go to redcross.org.au or phone 1800 811 700. Your tax-deductible gift to the appeal in our centenary year will make a real difference. Toni Aslett, executive director Australian Red Cross

Stirling service – and apple pies – earn Mabel a service award

Inaugural award: Alf Tallon Memorial Community Service Award winner Mabel Vidamour, second from right, with Greg Hood, Angela Snelson, and Dominic Tallon.

WESTERN Port Stroke Recovery Support Group treasurer Mabel Vidamour has been awarded the inaugural Alf Tallon Memorial Community Service Award. Other award finalists were Maria Chemis, nominated by Hastings Community House, and Ben Loois, Hastings Blue Light Basketball. Secretary Angela Snelson praised Ms Vidamour’s years of work in fundraising and assistance, as well as being “Queen of Apple Pies”, a reference to her habit of bringing a freshly baked apple pie to each meeting. The stroke recovery group – which provides active support to victims and carers – has been active for several years and meets twice a month in Hastings. Ms Vidamour received a plaque in recognition of her service and nominated the group to receive

the $1000 cash. The Alf Tallon Memorial Community Service Award was conceived a year ago after the death of Hastings Community Bank director Alf Tallon. He opened his real estate business in 1976 and became a prominent figure in the community. Mr Tallon died in October last year but, even during his final illness, was involved in community activities as treasurer of both The Oberon Society and the Western Port Tourism Association. He was on the Western Port Chamber of Commerce committee as well as working with the Community Bank. His son, Dominic, is a member of the bank’s board. “It is a fitting tribute to Alf’s years of community service that we continue to honour his name with this ongoing award,” Hastings Community

Bank chairman Vic Rodwell said. “The reaction to this award has been remarkable. There are so many groups out there who do incredible things for the community: things that make our community strong. “The award was based on the level of community service given by the individual, together with the circumstances under which these services were performed. We had a number of nominations, and their quality was such that, although there can be only one winner, we felt compelled to make two smaller awards as well. Even then there were other highly worthy nominations.” The stroke recovery group meets at 11 am on the first and third Monday of each month at The Walleroo Community Centre. Visitors are welcome.

A survivor’s write to survive Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au FEW people have had to endure the scale of tragedy and heartache suffered by Melbourne mother Susan Berg. Fewer still have come out the other side radiating the warmth and passion for life the 44-year-old author now exudes. Orphaned as a teenager following a boating accident in Western Port in which she was the sole survivor, Berg's life rapidly unravelled. It took almost a quarter of a century of pain and self-loathing for the former Toorak College staff member and Mornington Peninsula resident to find the courage and fortitude to declare peace on herself. The journey she outlines in her recently-released autobiography The Girl Who Lived doesn't so much follow the well-worn path of darkness to light as a heartbreaking decent from light to dense blackness and then back again. In 1985 the then 15-year-old Berg's sheltered life of privilege was torn apart in an instant when her mother, father and brother drowned. But tragedy was to become even more familiar in the years that followed. “In the next 12 months alone, I lost my grandmother, uncle and cousin, along with two kittens and a goldfish,” Berg writes. “Everything I loved died. “Before my 16th birthday, I’d been raped by a trusted family friend, introduced to drugs and preyed upon by a man who lured me into a seedy sexual world ... I was a teenager on the path of self-destruction.” The chaos continued through her teenage years and included a string of destructive and abusive relationships, culminating with her falling pregnant at 19. In stark contrast, Berg's life 29 years ago could scarcely have been more idyllic as she set out with her mother, father and brother on a crisp October afternoon for a fishing trip on Western Port. The tight-knit family set out from their four hectare property at Silvan in the Yarra Ranges where Berg, a doted upon youngest child, had her own horse and enjoyed the company of two older sisters, a brother and swag of pets. Her father was a doctor and her mother a career nurse. The one gripe of her otherwise happy life was the weekly church attendances she

Write track: It took more than three decades, but Susan Berg’s book has finally given her “permission to enjoy life”. Picture: Gary Sissons

was required to partake in with her devoutly Christian family. Unlike her two sisters, Berg enjoyed the regular fishing outings in the family's small boat and had been particularly looking forward to the fateful Sunday outing. “It was a crisp October afternoon, a perfect day for fishing,” Berg recalls. “But our joyous day ended abruptly when, as the sun went down, our boat took on water and sank.” With life jackets helping keep them afloat, the stricken family decided to remain with the now capsized boat and await emergency assistance. But as the darkness deepened, it became clear help was unlikely arrive any time soon, so they agreed to try to swim to shore. They prayed together then set out side by side into the unknown. However, they soon became separated. Her father was the first to struggle,

so her brother went to his assistance while she and her mother swam on in search of help. Not long afterwards, her mother fell behind. Berg had considered turning around but reasoned their best chance of survival was one of them making it to shore to raise the alarm. But it would be hours before Berg reached the safety of dry land on French Island. “Separated from my parents and brother, I swam in the darkness for hours, overcoming the threat of hypothermia, shark attacks and quick-sand mud. “After crawling through pitch-black swamplands, I had arrived at an old prison island; a place virtually void of human life.” She spotted the light of a farmhouse but by the time she was able to raise the alarm, it was 11pm, more than three hours after the boat had capsized.

The bodies of her father, Dr Edwin Berg, 57, mother Valarie Berg, 42, and 16-year-old brother William were found the following morning. Soon after the tragedy, she and her sisters publicly vowed to “do their parents proud” by devoting themselves to leading the productive, morally upstanding lives the believed their parents would have wished for. But within a year, Berg had dropped out of school and wandered far from her promised path. “It had a lot to do with survivor's guilt,” Berg said last week. “I couldn't help feeling that I had done something wrong, that I should have been the one who died. “I entered a very dark place and struggled to find any meaning in life. “It was really thanks to the birth of my son that I was able to shift my focus somewhat and get away from the destructive behaviour.”

Despite remaining for the most part a single mother, Berg was able to forge a successful career as an executive assistant to some of the country's top CEOs. By 2007, she had brought her own house in Frankston and was enjoying material success. But she continued to struggle to find any real meaning in her life. Then four years ago, something shifted within her. She decided to drop her guilt and pursue happiness. “I guess I finally gave myself permission to enjoy life.” After deciding to pursue her dream of becoming a writer, she left her job, sold her home and set off on an “spectacular journey” riding her motorbike on a solo round trip from Melbourne to Byron Bay. She then went to Bali, where she lived in Ubud for six months while writing The Girl Who Lived, then continued her quest in Thailand. The writing experience proved cathartic. “I was difficult reliving all those memories, but it really helped with the healing process. “It's turned out to be the best thing I have ever done, such a fantastic experience. “Now I finally feel I'm being true to myself. I love life and embrace every moment.” She now hopes her story will help inspire others to let go of their pain and find inner peace and happiness. After returning from South East Asia in 2012, Berg took up a job as the executive assistant to the head of Toorak College's junior school. While she said she enjoyed her time with the school, she recently decided to leave and dedicate herself to life as writer. “To find true happiness you have to pursue your dreams, whatever the risks,” she said. “I want to live my life to the fullest and, hopefully, that will inspire others to do the same.” Susan Berg can be contacted via her website www.susanberg.com.au or Facebook page, Susan Berg The Girl Who Lived.

Anglers caught up in animal ethics row Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CATCHING a large stingray off Portsea pier last week was probably a legal – but not socially responsible act, fishing writer Paul Pingiaro said last week. Smooth back rays are not protected as long as the angler plans to eat his catch - and not just leave it to die on the beach, according to Fisheries Victoria. In the incident, a group of Asian men had caught the stingray – known as Old George by locals - and dragged it down to the beach before being coerced into releasing it by a passerby. It reportedly then swam back under the pier and, hopefully, survived. (‘Anger over resident stingray catch’, The News, 25/11/2014). Pingiaro, whose column regularly appears in The News and who runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point and Yaringa Boat Hire at Somerville, said publicity surrounding the catch could be used on social media to denigrate recreational angling. “I am concerned that fishing is becoming a political pastime,” he said. “Different people – such as PETA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals] - could use it to push their own political agenda. “It’s all about the perception of fishing.” Pingiaro said “a lot of people with a lot of pull” monitored and trolled through social media and he occasionally saw reposted images – such as the stingray – that could be used to further their aims.

Fish trap: Paul Pigiaro warns that anglers could “tarnish their sport” by catching too many fish.

“The world is getting too savvy,” he said. “Fishermen are their own harshest critics, but they should know that they need to be more aware. That stingray catch could tarnish the sport.” Asked if recreational anglers sometimes let their egos get in the way of responsible fishing, Pingiaro said the “green eyed monster could rear its head” when anglers are out to catch their personal best. “It’s a lot like golf,

or anything that can be measured by size and weight,” he said. “It can be brutal out there; very emotive.” Pingiaro said the need for commercial netting bans in the bay had not been scientifically established. “We’ve had the Hutchins’ family [forebears of Neville and Dalton] netting off Fisherman’s Beach [Mornington] since the early 1900s and, if anyone should have the right to fish here, it is them.

“The government can’t just turn around and say ‘You are banned’. They can’t just use minimal evidence and ban it because everything that is sustainable should be ok; they can’t just lock people out, such as the netters. “If you could use that logic, then, if and when the Greens get into government, they could use that as a precedent to ban recreational angling.” He said all user groups should be considered equally and only scientific – not emotional - evidence used to manage them. Pingiaro said “most people on the Mornington Peninsula are privy to using a rod and line – it’s part of our lifestyle”. But he said he didn’t like seeing “huge culls” of fish. “Do we have to catch our bag limit?” he asked. “This is quite an emotive issue; people see red on both sides. It is not for one body to yell and scream but for the fisheries and the government to scientifically study the science and plan to manage the bay’s sustainability.” PETA spokesman Claire Fryer said fishing “is far from a healthy and harmless pastime”. “No one would consider doing to other animals what some so casually do to sea animals - trick them into impaling themselves in the mouth and pulling them into an environment where they can’t breathe. “Fish, like this stingray – even when released after being caught - can suffer from damage to their delicate fins and mouths making it impossible to eat. “Other problems include losing their protective scale coating, making them

vulnerable to disease, with a dangerous build-up of lactic acid in their muscles and oxygen depletion. “Researchers at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation found that as many as 43 per cent of fish released after being caught died within six days. But, whether they are bass or basset hounds, catfish or cats, all animals treasure their lives and feel pain.” She said a British government animal welfare advisor, Dr Donald Broom, had proved that fish feel pain like all animals. “The scientific literature is quite clear,” he reportedly said. “Anatomically, physiologically and biologically, the pain system in fish is virtually the same as in birds and mammals.” Ms Fryer quoted Dr Austin Williams, a US national marine fisheries service zoologist, as saying fish “are sentient organisms, so of course they feel pain”. “Angling doesn’t just hurt fish, either. Every year, anglers leave behind a trail of victims that includes millions of birds, turtles, and other animals who suffer debilitating injuries after swallowing fish hooks or becoming entangled in fishing line. Wildlife rehabilitators say that discarded fishing tackle is one of the greatest threats to aquatic animals. “We cannot dismiss the rights and feelings of fish simply because we perceive them to be less intelligent than other animals. Superior intelligence does not entitle one human being to abuse another, so why should it entitle humans to abuse other animals?”

Change of season brings a different catch to the table By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro AS spring draws to a close and we enter into summer our fishing options open further. Mako shark, kingfish, whiting, salmon, garfish and another round of squid. Yep, if you're into fishing the Mornington Peninsula is a fine place to be The fishing on the Port Phillip side of the peninsula has been a bit everywhere. Some boats are compiling some great catches, yet others only a few meters away have been coming home bare. These results can sometimes be attributed to varying levels of ability. Currently, this is more to do with the mood of the fish than the angler's ability to angle. While snapper are still the major tar-

get of many anglers, squid and whiting are about and quite a few anglers are targeting them with some good results. Some good flathead continue to be landed both in close and in the snapper grounds. The occasional salmon is about, but there are no great numbers at the moment. Squid, garfish, leatherjacket and whiting have been the mainstay of the piers. From the beaches there are a few salmon about and as this water gets warmer the flathead will start to show as well. For those fishing at gummy sharks have been targeted with success. Over in Western Port the whiting have been good on both Quail and Tyabb banks. Best results have varied

between two and five metres. Australian pippies have been the best bait. The snapper in Western Port are biting like their kin in Port Phillip. There is no great consistency in results, although they are there in good numbers. Other species making a welcome addition to creels are gummy sharks, trevally, salmon, leatherjacket, grass whiting and rock flathead.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).morningtonboathire. com.au or call 5975 5479).

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Good rain promises bumper crops this season Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE monthly meeting of committee of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association in the Mechanics Hall on Monday next at 8pm when the report of the show committee will be considered and other business. *** THE Mornington Racing Club have accepted the offer of Mr P. F. Hogan of Prahran, at £10, for the publican’s booth at the meetings on December 8, and the refreshment and luncheon booth will be at the capable hands of Mr Bien. The chief secretary has proclaimed race day a public holiday throughout the shire of Mornington. *** MR J. A. Jensen, assistant minister of Defence, accompanied by Rear Admiral Sir William Creswell, visited the Westernport Naval Base on Saturday for the purpose of inspecting the works in progress there. Sir Creswell stated that the work in progress was proceeding satisfactorily. Good progress had been made and he was well satisfied with what he had seen during the tour of inspection. *** THE lads of the district who have joined the Second Expeditionary Force, will be farewelled in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening, when they will be presented with souvenirs to keep in remembrance of old friends. A good programme will be gone through consisting of Patriotic songs and addresses and a farce by the members of St Pauls Club. The Brass

Band will also play several selections. *** A court of Petty Sessions was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday, before Messrs Tanner PM, C. G. V. Williams, and W. Ottes, J.P’s. Several cases of children being absent from school and cases of nonvaccination were brought up by Constable McCormack and the parents were fined in various cases. *** AS a result of competitive examinations, held in October, Mr Frank Plowman, son of Dr Plowman of Frankston, has gained eligibility for entrance to the Duntroon Military College of the Commonwealth. In Victoria there were 83 candidates and many other competitors from other states. Mr Plowman was tenth in order of merit of all the commonwealth candidates. It may be mentioned that this year he won from scratch the Geelong Grammar School mile walk and was second in the state event at the Combine Sports (all starting from scratch). *** THE Frankston Choral Society’s Concert, given as a complimentary to Rosa Alba (the brilliant new soprano) takes place this (Saturday) evening, and promises to be one of the best ever given in the hall. A first class programme has been arranged, including several songs by Rosa Alba and Frederic Earp (the popular. English baritone) will give a recital of “’Ye old English Lyrics and Folk Songs.”

Mr W. Myers, who is favorably known as a raconteur will recite and the Choral Society will render several madrigals and glee. Taken altogether, the concert should be well worth listening to, and we would advise those who wish to get a good seat to go early and avoid the crush. *** THE necessity of posting Christmas letters and pickets early is emphasised in an order issued to Commonwealth post masters, directing them to take action to invite the co-operation of the public in the matter. Attention is drawn to the fact that early posting of Christmas matter ensures timely delivery, but posting with a hare margin for delivery on Christmas day is likely to defeat its own object because of delay, due to congestion. As a means of avoiding congestion, and to provide for the expeditious delivery of mail matter at this period, postal articles, other than news papers, which it is desired should be delivered but not opened by the addressee until Christmas or New Year and bearing the endorsement “Not to be opened until Christmas” or other suitable inscription, may now be posted. *** IT will be seen by an advertisement in another column that a sea trip from Stony Point to San Remo has been organised by the Westernport Progress Association for Thursday evening. If the weather is favourable this is one of the most enjoyable excursions

possible. Their steam will return from San Remo to catch the special train at Stony Point at 6.30pm. Only 160 tickets have been printed so that early purchase of tickets is advisable to prevent disappointment on the day. The price of each ticket is 3/6 for the sea journey (the ordinary return cost being 10s.) Tickets can be obtainable in Frankston from Dr Plowman, hon secretary to the Association, Mr F. G. Chamberlin, and Mr J. Reynolds. . *** MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next when they will have a good yarding of stock, also sheep and lambs. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason’s monthly sale at Somerville will be held on Wednesday next, for which entries are invited by the auctioneers. *** A QUIET wedding was celebrated at the Roman Catholic Church, Frankston, on Monday last, the contract or Miss Annie Brody, eldest daughter of Mr Frank Brody of Frankston, and Mr J. S. Jordon. After the ceremoony the happy couple left by evening train for the Gippsland Lakes where the honeymoon will be spent. *** MR and Mrs G. Griffith intend celebrating the opening of their new Two-Bays building at the Moorooduc Railway Station by a concert, dance, and supper on Wednesday evening

next. A small charge will be made for admission, which it is intending to donate to the Lady Helen Munro Ferguson’s Red Cross Fund. *** MR Alec Clarey will give his interesting and amusing cure on Phrenology in the Mechanics Hall Frankston on Wednesday evening next week when he will read the heads of those who submit themselves to him. *** IT is with regret that we announce the death of Miss Emily McLear, second daughter of Mr and Mrs G. McLear, of “Mayfield” Dromana. The deceased, who was only 18 years of age, had been in ill health for some time. But her death came as a shock to her family and friends. The funeral which took place on Wednesday at 2 o’clock was very well attended. Rev Sherwood affiliating at the grave. Deepest sympathy is felt by all for the family on their bereavement. *** THE rain last week did a great amount of good to orchid and nurseries. The fruit trees in the district never looked better and are carrying a fair crop especially Jonathon apples. Buyers are operating freely and much higher prices are offering for fruit that has been the case for many years, the reason being the failure of crops in all other parts. The Mutton bird eggers hive returned from the rockeries at Philip Island with good baskets upwards of 500 dozen being secured by the Somerville contingent. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 December, 1914.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Reinventing myself in the blink of an eye By Stuart McCullough IS it ever too late to reinvent yourself? Like week-old bread or the pair of unwashed socks that fall behind the back of the couch and are discovered only upon moving out, I have become stale. It’s time to jazz things up a little. By ‘jazz things up’ I don’t mean speaking in an odd time signature before undertaking a twelve-minute solo that sends people to sleep, growing a goatee while wearing a black skivvy or even donning a beret indoors, but some mild kind of metamorphosis that makes life a little more interesting. They options are many and varied. I could always try and alter my physical appearance; lose a little weight, perhaps even up the exercise quotient in the faint hope that my t-shirts will soon struggle to contain bulging muscles rather than wobble like a plate full of trifle. But all that sounds like a lot of effort. There must be a simpler option. Maybe some type of catchphrase would help. It works a treat on television sitcoms; there’s no reason it wouldn’t do the same in real life. But which catchphrase should I claim as my own? I can’t imagine myself telling another person to ‘Sit on it, bucko’. The circumstances in which I might reasonably ask ‘Whatchoo talkin’ ‘bout Willis?’ without exposing myself to substantial ridicule are, by any measure, limited. The time for ‘aye currumba’ has, sadly, been and gone. ‘Book ‘em Danno’ would be flat-out confusing. Stealing someone else’s catchphrase is a tricky business. They generally belong to an individual and either sound disingenuous or

hopelessly out of date when found in the mouths of others. It will have to be something else. It’s often said that clothes maketh the man. Given that I, as I’m writing this, am wearing tracksuit pants and a t-shirt bearing the slogan, ‘I do all my own stunts’, I can only hope that this is wrong. Clothing aside, what re-

Western Port News 2 December 2014

ally maketh a man memorable is his jewellery. In high school, I owned a silver chain. Presumably I was hoping to ward off vampires when I should have chosen something that repelled mosquitoes instead. The man-chain is a distinct look that deserves further consideration. When a man wears a necklace, more often than not, a cou-

ple of buttons are sacrificed in order to ensure the full magnificence of the work is on display. Perhaps it’s time to give up on neckties and pursue the man-chain? After a moment’s thought, I suspect I speak for everyone when I say, ‘Thanks, but no thanks’. I like to keep my buttons securely fastened. Those who like to take it down a notch and treat their chest like a display pillow for precious metals are, frankly, far too bohemian for my tastes. Of course, there are other options - it doesn’t have to be a necklace. Piercings are always a popular option. I had my ears pierced at the end of high school and it would be a shame to puncture them all over again as I feel they’ve only recently ceased to be infected. As for other piercings – nose, eyebrow or other parts too far-flung and uncomfortable to mention – they don’t say ‘reinvention’ so much as they scream ‘middle-age crisis’. Besides, what if I pierce something only to have it deflate like a leaky lilo? There’s something I’ve never been game to try. It doesn’t involve putting on a costume or violating your physical integrity but it just might be the pathway to reinvention. Winking. I’ve long held a fascination for those who feel so confident with their place in the world that they’ll wink at another person while speaking to them. Whenever it happens, my first instinct is to question whether, in fact, I just imagined it. That’s the thing about winking at others – it’s so audacious that it makes the other person question their very sanity. You never see a wink coming. That’s because there’s never an appropriate

time to let one fly. It simply comes out of nowhere and leaves you feeling as though everything you know is wrong. Truth be told, I’ve never really had the right amount of confidence. There’s always the risk of misjudging. If you wink at someone and they ask you whether there’s something in your eye, you know you’ve made a complete hash of it. Or they think you’re lying; that whatever you’ve just said is an utter falsehood, all because you closed one eye and not the other. Worse still is the possibility that you might come across as kind of creepy and rather than drawing others into your confidence you have, in fact, repelled them as surely as a can of Mortein. I’ve decided. There will be no winking. Reinvention can’t be forced, it must occur naturally. Unless, of course, you’re Madonna which, for the most part, I am not. Besides, winking is not much use to those who write. There’s something about it that fails to translate to the page. Winking may be fine for some, but for me the risks are simply too great. Pretending to be a winker would be to defy my natural instincts. Nor do I intend to get a bunch of piercings that make my eyes water before ripping the top two buttons off every single one of my shirts and adopting the man-chain. Just because you can reinvent yourself doesn’t mean you should. Inertia has its upside. There’s something to be said for staying right…where…you… are. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

scoreboard Hills manage to lose ‘the unlosable’ PROVINCIAL By IT Gully HEATHERHILL remains winless at the bottom of the MPCA Provincial ladder after Langwarrin staged a magnificent come from behind victory. Kangas spin king Dwayne Doig snared 7/30 off 31.2 overs and master bowler Adrian Mack took 3/39 from 22 overs to drag their team over the line. After the first day of the match, it appeared there was no way that Langwarrin could win after being bowled out for just 93. Heatherhill resumed on day two, just 24 runs shy of victory with six wickets in hand. However, Doig and Mack went to work and between them snared 5/8 to have the Hills nine down. Jon Powell, who was the Heatherhill weapon with the ball taking seven wickets, almost won them the game with the bat, batting at 11. Powell made 10 runs and got the Hills to within five runs of victory before he danced down the pitch to a Doig floater. Keeper Taylor Smith whipped off the bails to give him his fifth dismissal of the innings nd Doig’s seventh scalp. Heatherhill was all out for 89 in the 65th over. Langwarrin fared better with the bat in the second innings, finishing on 4/151, Matty Prosser unbeaten on 48 to give him his highest score in First XI cricket. Crib Point completed the expected and knocked over Rye outright.

The Magpies had already claimed the 12 points before the second day of the match after bowling the Demons out for 128. Crib Point resumed at 2/150 after Luke Herrington made 72. Rob Hearn added just four runs (70) to his overnight score before the Pies declared at 6/181. Rye was bowled out for 114 in its second dig, Brad Davidson the destroyer for the Pies with 5/47, while Glenn Barclay picked up 3/40, giving him match figures of 7/81. Crib Point needed just 60 odd runs to pick-up the outright, which it did without losing a wicket. Henry Dolphin was unbeaten on 37. Sorrento continued its march, smashing Mornington by six wickets. The Dogs did everything right when it set the Sorras a total of 250 for victory on the first day. However, Corey Harris made an unbeaten 119 and Nick Jewell helped himself to another half century (61) to give the Sharks an easy victory. The usual potent Mornington attack didn’t provide any problem for the home side, who sit pretty on top of the table. Despite an unbeaten 101 from Long Island master Scott Phillips, it wasn’t enough to help his side claim the points against Peninsula Old Boys. Set 245 for victory, the Islanders were looking alright at 2/80, before losing two quick wickets. Simon Dignan joined Phillips at the crease and again, the Islanders looked as though they were getting back on top,

before Dignan was removed for 21 with the score on 147. Stephen Hocking was the next to join Phillips and together, they pushed the score beyond 200. Hocking’s dismissal saw the end of the Islander’s push for victory. The Old Boys claimed 5/25, thanks largely to the efforts of Tom Feldgen, who picked-up two of the last five wickets (both bowled), to give him 3/36 from nine overs. Long Island was bowled out for 226. Moorooduc successfully defended its 157 against Pines. The Ducs notched up their first win of the season after rolling the Piners for just 141. Pines resumed at 3/41, however, Greg Pullen bowled wonderfully well for the Ducs, claiming 5/31 from 16 overs. Jeremy Weare was Pines only shining light with 76. At the other end of the scale, five Pines batsmen were dismissed for ducks. Baxter got the job done against Mt Eliza, winning by 36 runs. Baxter resumed at 2/68 on the second day after Mt Eliza made 171 in their first innings. A sensational 102 from Daniel Warwick and 40 from Shane McComb ensured the home side picked up the 12 pints. Mt Eliza still only has the one win for the season, while Baxter remains at the top of the ladder.

Parkers in strife, Red Hill further in front DISTRICT By IT Gully LAST year’s MPCA District grand finalists Delacombe Park are in danger of missing the finals this season after going down yet again on Saturday. Up against Main Ridge, Delacombe needed just 162 runs to claim victory. They resumed three wickets down but things didn’t improve, eventually bowled out for just 123. Shane Deal was the team’s highest scorer with 32. Andrew Christides was left unbeaten on 25. Scott Millar was outstanding for the Ridge with 5/67 from 34 overs, while Gareth Wyatt claimed 3/12 from eight overs. Carrum staged a great victory over Mt Martha, winning a tight one by just two runs. Set 166 for victory, the Lions needed just 43 runs with five wickets in hand on the second day. It was a scrape but they got there, thanks largely to the start the openers gave, Shaun Foster scoring 55 and Dale O’Neil 36. Seaford Tigers knocked over Hastings as expected. The Blues remain on the bottom of the ladder after being bowled out for just 63. Hastings resumed at 3/8 after bowling the Tigers out for 148 on the opening day. However, other than an unbeaten 38 from Luke Hewitt, the Blues were ordinary with the bat. Matty Meagher was sensational for the Tigers with 8/20.

Carey Sawosz finish with match figures of 6/49 after claiming two second innings’ wickets. Seaford did well to pick-up the 220 needed for victory against Flinders. It appeared the Sharks may have done enough after the first day of the match, scoring 8/220, however, Seaford got the runs with three wickets in hand. Faisal Payenda top scored for Seaford with 51, Paul Hartle chippedin with an unbeaten 47. Andy McMannis was still there at the end too with 38. There were some tense moments for Seaford when they lost 4/35 to slump to 7/145, however, Hartle and McMannis steered the ship home. Somerville did it easy against Baden Powell. Set 167 for victory, Somerville finished the afternoon on 7/214. Leigh Lowry top scored for his team with 70, while Andrew West hit 47. Brendan Jovic was the pick of the Braves bowlers with 4/80. Red Hill extended its lead at the top of the table with an outright victory against Boneo. The Hillmen rolled the Pandas for 75 and 173 while declaring both of their innings just five wickets down. Ryan Jellie with 97 was the shining light for Boneo in what was otherwise a very poor match for them.

Braddles get the job done SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association legend Paul Bradley made life extremely tough for Rosebud on Saturday, preventing them from having any chance of winning the game. The Buds had already lost on first innings at the conclusion of day one, after scoring just 53. Frankston YCW resumed on 3/58, five runs ahead, and their plan was clearly to prevent Rosebud from having the opportunity to bat again. Sam Preston made 16 off 142 balls and batted for three hours, while Paul Bradly made 88 and batted for three and a half hours. Eventually, the Stonecats faced 103 overs and made 176 runs. It was enough to stop the Buds in their tracks. Jason Nagel finished with 4/44 from 33 overs for the Buds while Adam Bryant snared 2/51. Carrum Downs was always in the box seat against Tootgarook after setting the opposition 284 for victory. It proved to be 140 too many for the visitors, bowled out for 144. Chris Maloney was the pick of the Cougars’ bowler with 3/37 from 16 overs, while Stuart Swift, Chamara Perera and Shane Walford all claimed two wickets each. Ballam Park escaped an outright loss to Pearcedale, however, it still lost on first innings. The Knights were bowled out for 107 on the first day and at stumps

the Dales were cruising at 1/116. Pearcedale went after the runs early on day two and eventually declared their innings at 5/208. Brad Trotter added 36 runs to his overnight total to make 80, while Shayne Gillings hit 44 and Gav Moore 41. Ballam Park struggled early in their second innings, reeling at 5/70, however, prevented the outright, batting the rest of the day and finishing on 6/222. Nick Papachristofilou top scored with 73 before being run out, while Jon Plakourakis helped himself to 57. Dromana dropped to the bottom of the ladder after losing to Skye. Defending 227, Skye had to work hard early to get wickets but once the top four were gone, the rest fell cheaply, netting just 37 runs between them. Mark Whitehead top scored for the Hoppers with 33. Paul Fillipone was superb for Skye, grabbing 6/47 from 20 overs. Balnarring got the 12 points and now sit comfortably in fourth place on the ladder after a strong victory against Tyabb. Chasing 193 for victory, the Yabbies were bowled out for 158. Jacob Cook was the man who did all the damage for the Saints, picking-up a career-best 8/37.

Motoring Corolla reveals its ‘dark’ side AUSTRALIA’S best-selling car, Toyota Corolla, has struck an edgy new pose with a value-added special-edition model dubbed the RZ. Corolla RZ reveals a stylish “dark” side with a range of black treatments for the wheels, grille, bumpers, mirrors and rear garnish. But the news is all bright for customers as the special-edition model offers $2,000 of added features for just $1,000 above the Ascent Sport hatch on which it is based. The RZ arrives with the Corolla nameplate having topped local sales charts in seven months this year, giving it an overall lead of just over 900 vehicles to the end of October. Corolla was Australia’s best-selling car in 2013. Added equipment for the Corolla RZ starts with the convenience of satellite navigation with maps accessible on the audio system’s 6.1-inch touch-screen display, along with vision from the already-standard reversing camera. The interior also gains “RZ” branded mats for the driver and front passenger, along with Corolla hatch regulars including six-speaker audio, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, air-conditioning and seatbelt warning alarm for all five seats. Looks really count on the outside – and this is where Toyota has enhanced the sporty stance of the hatch with eye-catching black detailing. Most impressive are the racy 16-inch black gloss alloy wheels that are matched with black caps bearing the Toyota emblem. The car’s revised front also displays a subtle mean streak with the black hero colour being used to surround the Toyota emblem in the upper grille. Black is also the colour of choice for the front bumper mouldings and the leading edge at

The dark theme continues at the rear with black used for a new garnish below the hatch glass and for the rear bumper moulding. The six available exterior colours are all optional paints included in the price. The Corolla RZ is distinguished with decals at the front, rear and along the lower edge of the side doors. The black decals feature silver highlights on cars with Wildfire (red), Inferno (orange) and Tidal Blue exterior metallic paints while the highlights are orange for cars painted in Crystal Pearl, Silver Pearl and Positano Bronze. The RZ, like every Corolla, comes with seven airbags, vehicle stability and traction control, anti-skid brakes and the maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating.

Hastings is the Hidden Treasure of the Peninsula and it is perhaps from its regal namesake that Hastings developed its strength and ability for growth and development. From its humble beginnings in the mid 1800’s, when a few huts dotted the banks of Kings Creek (the Kings were the first land owners in the region), to the successful commercial hub that it is today.
