Wallaroo shows the way in innovative teaching WALLAROO primary, Hastings, is the first government school on the Mornington Peninsula accredited to use a teaching method more often available only at expensive private schools.

Last Friday 30 educators from Australia and New Zealand toured Wallaroo to see the results of the Walker Learning Approach (WLA) to education.

Principal Nicky Fammartino describes the WLA as “a total approach to teaching and learning, which includes the need for children to be active participants in their learning”.

She said the method had been developed after decades of research into “developing skills, knowledge and social interaction through a personalised and age appropriate delivery”.

The WLA included children using “creative exploration and investigation” as well as being formally instructed.

Under the WLA method children learned literacy, numeracy, general knowledge and became self-motivated, developing skills in leadership as well as “vital social and emotional life skills”.

Wallaroo received its WLA accreditation last month and Friday’s study tour followed five years of professional development and an “investment” of $100,000.

“Before Wallaroo’s accreditation, the Walker Learning Approach was only available at private schools charging fees that are out of the reach for many families,” Ms Fammartino said.

Class time: Teachers from Australia and New Zealand were at Wallaroo Primary, Hastings, to find out more about the innovative Walker Learning Approach to education.

Build two new ports, inquiry told Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MELBOURNE needs two new ports – one at Hastings and one on the western side of Port Phillip – Captain Richard Cox told the Port of Melbourne Select Committee hearing in Hastings last week.

The committee is gathering information about the Labor government's proposed long-term lease of the Port of Melbourne to commercial interests,

and came to the peninsula for the first time to hear submissions from individuals, councils including Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston, and conservation groups.

Captain Cox, a Tyabb resident and former Port of Hastings harbourmaster, told the committee that bulk trade required waterfront space for silos and tanks with wharf loading and unloading infrastructure different from that used for containers.

He said Hastings should be devel-

oped as a container port, and the western side of Port Phillip – dubbed Bay West – should be for bulk trade "combining Geelong and Melbourne port facilities".

After dumping plans for a container port at Hastings last year, the state government said Western Port should become a port for bulk trade. The area is already a bulk trade node with United Terminals (fuel) and Esso (gas and crude oil) operating north of the town, and Swiss company Puma En-

Parents appeal for slower road Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RESIDENTS of Davies Rd, Bittern, are fed up with speeding motorists putting their families at risk – and want the top brass at HMAS Cerberus to rein them in.

Neighbours on 0.8 hectare properties abutting the narrow bitumen strip – which links the base’s main entrance to Coolart and Frankston-Flinders roads – say the 90kph limit is “way too fast”, and want it reduced to 70kph.

The one-lane-each-way road has no footpaths or shoulders, allowing little space for residents, especially children, to walk.

They say lower speed limits are in force on roads capable of faster driving, and that it is anachronistic for a narrow, potentially dangerous road, to have a higher speed limit.

They say they are living in fear of a fatality that could affect their lives forever.

A Navy spokesperson said HMAS Cerberus takes the safety, welfare and concerns of the community and its members “very seriously”.

Media manager Claudia Harrison said regular presentations were made to educate and reinforce messages of safety and responsibility to the largely transient workforce.

“In partnership with local police, Cerberus recently began a road safety campaign for all drivers accessing the

base. As Defence members, employees, contractors and visitors exit the base via the West Gate they are reminded of the dangers of driving under the influence, driving while distracted and speeding,” she said.

Six-year Davies Rd residents Robin and Shelley King, who have two young children, say they see Navy personnel “come out the gate which is at the end of a 40kph zone and then plant the foot to get up to 90kph as quickly as possible”.

“It’s often the same cars and a motorbike; we know who they are because we are so close,” Mrs King said.

“Sometimes they even roar past and overtake us as we are trying to turn right into our driveway.

“The amount of traffic and the speeds have increased greatly during our time. I’ve seen massive changes and it’s frightening.”

She said children from properties on her side of the road used the school bus stop, with most walking, riding or scooting there.

“We have to warn them all the time to be careful,” she said.

“A 70kph limit would be ideal, but 80kph would be better than it is now”.

It is not just the safety of children at risk: echidnas, koalas and lizards all cross the road and residents are concerned about them, too.

“It’s silly to make our road 90kph when other, wider roads, are 70kph.”

Resident Leonie Clark, also of Davies Rd, said “90kph is just too

fast. As Cerberus is a training base, the majority of the drivers are young Pplaters. They travel 40 kph on the base but, as soon as they hit Davies Rd, they accelerate to 90kph.

away as they go past.

Julia Oakes said Davies Rd had become a “race track for Navy personal to see how fast they can get to and from work”.

“Since the gates off South Beach Rd have become the main gates the traffic has dramatically increased,” she said.

“Not only do they speed but they are overtaking each other with no respect for residents turning into their driveways and anyone walking on the road.

“It has got so bad that l drive my kids to and from the bus stop because it is too dangerous for them to walk along this road.”

The Navy displayed a smashed car at the entrance of the gates on Friday 23 October, presumably to make Navy personal aware of the dangers of speeding.

“Well, that message certainly didn't get through to them,” Mrs Oakes said.

“In the early hours next day we had a car smashed on our nature strip and he was from the Navy.”

Ms Oakes said speed limits had been dropped on nearby roads.

“We want VicRoads to reduce the limit for not only the residents but for the safety of the Navy personal who use this road every day.”

Western Port News 3 November 2015

Hearing adjourned over Hastings fire A HASTINGS businessman last week faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court charged with failing to extinguish a fire in the open on Wednesday 31 December last year.

Alan Duke, of A&A Worm Farm Waste Systems, of Frankston-Flinders Rd, appeared at a contest mention but did not enter a formal plea.

The case was adjourned until 1 December and is expected to be dealt with by diversion hearing.

On Saturday 3 January, fires burnt out a wood yard in Reid Parade, parts of Warringine reserve and threatened nearby houses in temperatures of over 40 degrees and with strong northerlies fanning the flames.

Mr Duke’s neighbour John Gaylor, of Jimmin Firewood, said the out-of-control fire “ruined my business”.

“I lost three or four years’ worth of wood and machinery,” Mr Gaylor said.

“I am talking about a lot of money here.”

Police prosecutor Andrew Chiodo said the charge of failing to extinguish a fire referred to an incident on 31 December – not the larger weekend fires which had Hastings, Crib Point and Bittern homeowners on edge.

Diversion hearings usually proceed on the basis that the defendant acknowledges responsibility for an action, and is contrite.

It is believed other charges: failing to comply with the conditions of a CFA fire permit, and leaving a fire unattended during a country fire period, have been dropped.

Mr Duke did not return calls from The News.  A report in The News last week (“Fire alarm: catastrophe in waiting”) wrongly stated that the Hastings fire on Saturday 3 January had “started in a wood yard at Hastings”.

Unanswered questions on Evocca graduation rates EVOCCA College is refusing to reveal graduation rates at its Frankston campus in the wake of a damning Senate inquiry into the funding and management of vocational education and training (VET) providers.

The Queensland based college, which has more than 40 campuses nationwide, was one of several registered training organisations offering short diploma courses criticised in the report over its marketing to students (‘College’s marketing to students slammed’, The News 27/10/15).

The Senate committee heard allegations vulnerable students with little or no chance of completing courses are enrolled by some private sector operators to boost enrolment numbers and rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits at the expense of taxpayers.

The federal government banned private colleges earlier this year from offering so-called “free” iPads and laptops to persuade students to sign on the dotted line.

Students are signed up for “study now, pay later” deals with federal VET FEE-HELP funding, paid for by taxpayers, not having to be repaid until students earn at least $50,000 per year.

The Senate committee tasked with investigating the private colleges industry recommended the repayment threshold be lowered to $30,000 or $40,000.

When asked about graduation rates at its Frankston campus Evocca College communications executive Suzanne Ross said in a statement that the college “is focused on delivering quality vocational education and training that is geared towards students generating strong outcomes”.

“This year 79.4 per cent of graduates from Evocca College Frankston have either continued with further study or are in employment.”

When asked how many students had graduated at its Frankston campus, Ms Ross subsequently replied: “It’s Evocca’s policy not to disclose statistics relating to specific campuses.”

Data released by the Department of Education and Training reveals Evocca had 27,907 students enrolled nationally last year but just 1053 stu-

Marketing under fire: Evocca College opened its Frankston campus in Balmoral St in 2013.

dents completed courses, a completion rate of less than 4 per cent.

Evocca received more than $250 million in VET FEEHELP funding in 2014 according to the Department’s figures.

“Evocca College has completion rates which are well in excess of the industry average for both public and private VET FEE-HELP providers,” Ms Ross said.

Department of Education and Training statistics show Evocca College’s benchmarked progress rate of units completed by students against units undertaken was 27.6 per cent against a national average of 64.4 per cent for VET FEE-HELP providers nationally.

MP’s office a drawcard for protests COMMENT

By Keith Platt THE Hastings office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt was again “occupied” and under siege on Friday by environmentalists concerned by the federal government’s pro-coal policies.

As Environment Minister, Mr Hunt has become a main target of protests, most recently in response to his reapproval of the Indian corporation Adani’s Carmichael coal mine in central Queensland.

The protesters are concerned by the mining of coal and its subsequent use contributing to greenhouse gases as well as threats to the Great Barrier Reef by ships carrying the coal from terminals at Abbot Point.

Although most federal ministers are subjected to protests, Mr Hunt, because of his portfolio, seems to attract more than his share of public criticism – both outside his office, in the media and, especially, social media.

As well as entering his office, protesters are increasingly climbing onto its roof. They come prepared, using ladders to gain access.

Last month it was a group of women from Climate Guardians dressed as angels, on Friday two women and a man holding a banner dubbing Mr Hunt as Minister for Coal. The trio wore hard hats.

The Australian Federal Police is now looking at stepping up security at Mr Hunt’s office because of the additional safety risks to protesters and staff, Mr Hunt’s electorate communications officer Samantha Robin said yesterday, Monday.

While the protests outside his office are not usually attended by a large number of environmental campaigners or covered by mainstream media, their message is potentially far reaching as videos and stills are quickly posted on the internet.

Just about every decision by Mr Hunt is disputed and dissected on social media platforms.

For the record: Protesters on the roof, street theatre below. Protest activities outside the Hastings office of Environment Ministrer Greg Hunt are all recorded and quickly packaged to be spread on social media.

Inner sanction: Protesters are now a regular sight inside Mr Hunt’s office and have in the past disputed his claims that his staff had been intimidated.

Pictures: Yanni

Perhaps most worryingly to Mr Hunt, many of protesters live in his electorate – they are not just bussed in for the day.

Certainly an issue has become “local” when members of a small yoga group decided to stand on their heads to persuade Mr Hunt to overturn his re-approval of the Carmichael mine (“Group goes heels over head against coal mine”, The News, 27/10/15).

When Mr Hunt recently accused protesters of intimidating his staff, those involved were happy to be identified and quick to provide their side of the story. The two men who carried coal into the minister’s Hastings

office, who both live in the Flinders electorate, contacted The News and denied that intimidation had occurred.

They said police were present and would have intervened if anyone had been threatened.

Next year’s federal poll is being touted as a “Facebook election” with political parties being able to target specific voters on issues of personal interest.

However, the very nature of the internet and quick response available on social media may water down the effect of the money being spent by the parties on Facebook advertisements.

Mr Hunt left Australia on Sunday

for Paris to attend ministerial level talks leading into the climate change summit, which will be attended by the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

He was not in his office for Friday’s

protest, but earlier in the day was happy to be on safer waters with a stand-up paddleboard at Dromana to promote water quality testing with members of Clean Ocean Foundation.

Hastings has enough room for containers – hearing told Continued from Page 1 Captain Cox said 60 per cent of containers coming into the Port of Melbourne were taken by road to the “Dandenong and Braeside area”.

There was not enough room to store containers west of Melbourne but Hastings had 3500 hectares zoned for port-related use. Melbourne had just 560 hectares.

He said the government should lease the Port of Melbourne for 10 years not 50.

Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston Council told the committee Melbourne’s second container port should be at Hastings.

“Port development at Hastings is integral to driving continued industry development and business innovation” in the southeast, the shire’s submission stated.

It would bring $1 billion in gross regional product by the mid-2030 and an extra 5700 jobs.

Both councils oppose any further deepening of

The Heads and Port Phillip shipping channels.

Preserve Western Port Action Group told the committee an expanded Port of Hastings would have “serious adverse consequences for the everyday life of the region, its economy, its social fabric and its biodiversity”.

“Construction will involve substantial dredging in Western Port, which in turn will speed up the tides, which will redefine the coastline and compound the effects of climate change.”

There was a risk of damaging seagrass and marine animals and endangering the biodiversity and food chains of the region.

Other risks included increased air and noise pollution, illegal discharge of ballast water, collisions and oil spills, and road congestion.

Western Port’s $620 million a year tourism industry (including Phillip Island’s famous penguin parade) would be harmed. It currently provided 5000 full-time jobs.

Public’s view sought for transport study FEEDBACK is being sought on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s “sustainable transport strategy”.

The strategy outlines a vision for sustainable transport and how it can contribute to the shire’s health, economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Priorities are increasing transport options for older residents; providing better access to schools and jobs; easing traffic congestion; reducing car use; integrating transport and land use planning, and promoting walking and riding.

The strategy is on view until 7 December. Complete the online survey at the shire’s website or, post comments to rita. kontas@mornpen.vic.gov.au by 5pm Tuesday 7 December.

Witnesses sought POLICE are seeking witnesses to a headon collision at Fingal, 3pm, Sunday last week.

It is believed a 74-year-old Rye woman was driving a grey Mazda sedan on Browns Rd, near Springs Lane, while a North Ringwood woman, 37, was driving a white Suzuki swift in the opposite direction.

Both women were taken to The Alfred hospital with serious, but non-life threatening, injuries.

Anyone who saw the incident should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Council knocks back Tully’s wine outlet Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE owner of Tully's Corner Produce Store on the Moorooduc Highway, Moorooduc, was not a happy man when he left the council chamber in Rosebud on Monday last week.

Frank Brancatisano wanted the council to approve his application to sell in his store bottled wine produced by three nearby wineries – Barmah Park Vineyard and Stumpy Gully Vineyard in Moorooduc, and Massoni Vineyard in Mt Eliza.

He'd spent a motza on reports from town planner Ratio Consultants and was confident that green wedge zone changes made by Coalition planning minister Matthew Guy, before the Napthine government was rolled by Labor, would allow packaged wine sales – so-called "primary produce".

Shire planner James Bryan had recommended the application be approved but when the vote came, it was 6-3 against.

Mr Bryan's report to councillors stated Tully's had a permit for retail sales and "primary produce sales" issued in 2007 but this did not include alcohol or "non-food" products.

Now Tully's wanted to use a corner of its building to "sell wine sourced from vines from adjacent land" during its normal opening hours (9am-6pm Monday-Saturday and 10am-6pm on Sunday).

Just one objection was received by

the shire. A Mt Eliza resident stated that the sale of alcoholic products in the green wedge zone was usually in the form of a "cellar door" for wine produced on a property.

"This application equates to a bottle shop and is prohibited in the green wedge. The sale of locally produced alcoholic products as a means of enhancing the peninsula tourism experience is better conducted from cellar doors.

"The application confuses green wedge zone cellar door-type operations with the traditional bottle shop."

Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association supported the Tully's application as did several winemakers.

Mr Bryan said green wedge zone changes made by Mr Guy meant "sale of wine produced from grapes grown on 'adjacent land' is now considered to be primary produce sales".

"The sale of wine is to be limited to wines produced from grapes grown within a 3 kilometre radius of [Tully's]".

The council refused the application, stating "the sale of liquor from a retail premises fails to comply with the purpose and intent of" green wedge zone rules, and it would "result in an intensification of a retail use, which is prohibited in the green wedge".

• Mr Brancatisano won approval from the council earlier this year to open a 200 square metre bottle shop at Moorooduc Coolstores, just 1.4km from Tully's.

To encourage residents to reduce green waste around their homes, Mornington Peninsula Shire will hold a ‘No Charge” Green Waste disposal weekend at all Resource Recovery Centres 14 – 15 November 2015 The “No Charge” Green Waste Weekend is for Shire residents or ratepayers only, with green waste to be delivered only from residential vehicles and trailers. No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste accepted.

Resource Recovery Centres are located in Truemans Road Rye, McKirdys Road Tyabb and Watt Road Mornington. Opening hours are from 8.00am until 5.00pm Saturday and Sunday.

Please note that due to the popularity of this event delays are to be expected at the Resource Recovery Centres, particularly at the beginning and the end of each day.

Mornington can only accept up to 3 cubic metres of green waste per trip.

Need to save, not pave, paradise COMMENT

By David Gill MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is trying to avoid the state government’s rate cap plan by using special charge schemes.

These are schemes where landowners pay what amounts to de facto rate increases for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in almost any kind of public works by councils.

A revealed by David Harrison last week (“Rate cap may not quell cash demands”, The News 27/10/15), it is not surprising that there is little information about special charge schemes on the shire’s website.

The shire is implementing a special charge concrete footpath scheme for every ratepayer in Somers even though the works involve just a few streets.

Until they received a formal notification many ratepayers were unaware that such a user pays scheme was intended, bringing with it a backdoor rate rise of up to $1700.

The shire did no earlier notification but left publicity to the pro-active proponent of the scheme, the Somers Residents’ Association (SRA).

There was no high level of community engagement so often talked about by our council.

The SRA explained the scheme in its newsletters mailed by the council as: Comprising narrow, meandering informal paths; Not concrete but exposed aggregate (concrete with the normal pebbles in concrete not trowelled under); Council and the federal government were the only income sources mentioned; Minimum vegetation removal and low visual effect.

The SRA then conducted two surveys based on this information and presented the

shire with enough evidence of support for the scheme for it to accept the proposal.

The 5.5 kilometre long path will be up to two metres wide and cost $1.5 million.

I believe it will forever alter the quiet coastal village charm of Somers.

Questions of fairness remain.

Why did the shire not directly poll ratepayers?

Why didn’t the council not tell us that the majority could stop a special charge scheme before the declaration of a levy?

I have met with shire CEO Carl Cowie and discussed the role of the SRA and shire officers. He has said that he will look into transparency issues in the lead up to the formal notice sent out to all ratepayers.

A new group called the Somers Village Community Association (SVCA) has been formed because its members think the SRA is so out of touch that it wants to “pave paradise”(with apologies to Joni Mitchell).

The Somers Village Community Association offers an alternative and is dedicated to being inclusive, transparent and connected to the community.

The SCVA hopes that Somers will be able to retain its coastal village charm as a peaceful haven and not become just another suburb.

As a former resident of Somers and member of the Somers foreshore committee until recently, I believe the SRA requires reform.

I wonder which coastal village or peninsula town will be next to wake up to a letter announcing the start of another user pays special charge scheme that could lift their rates by thousands of dollars?

The shire is developing a coastal village strategy and has put on hold some roadside works until it is finalised.

Surely the concrete footpath scheme for Somers – a coastal village - should also await this important policy.

Family bond: Barney and Alex Downs are still able to enjoy each other’s company.

Picture: Yanni

Barney makes himself right at home Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au JACK Russell-cross Barney is still right at home with his master, Alex Downs, even though they are living in aged care.

And that companionship is doing both of them the world of good.

They live at Peninsula Grange Aged Care, Mornington, with Barney’s upkeep paid for by a Pets in Aged Care grant from Animal Welfare League Australia.

The money goes towards training for one-eyed Barney – the only resident-owned pet – who needs to be taught to eat on his own, rather than accompanying Mr Downs to the dining area.

“He’s a quirky little fellow loved by all the residents but, in the dining area, he gets so many tidbits that it’s not good for his health,” Peninsula Grange events coordinator Katie Turner said.

“He gets stressed when he’s not with Mr Downs and so we are going to use the grant to teach him to be comfortable when eating alone.”

She said this would preserve the pair’s close bond, and also ease the integration of more resident-owned pets into the Booker Av premises.

“The ongoing stimulation, interaction and

emotional wellbeing that Barney generates in Alex’s life are priceless,’’ Ms Turner said.

“Their health is of the utmost importance to the staff, as is the comfort and happiness of all our residents. So, it is critical that we have a process for managing pets here.’’

The money will pay for such things as live-in costs, vet bills, grooming, training, dog walking and feeding.

That’s all good news for Barney, 7, who likes the companionship of other residents almost as much as he does his master’s. “He seems to be sitting next to a different person every time I see him,” Ms Turner said.

The AWLA's interim executive officer Stuart Gillies said evidence showed pets made people happier and healthier. “So, making provision for their pets in aged care accommodation makes good sense,’’ he said.

“Directors of successful pet–friendly aged care facilities have told us that pets contribute to community feeling and encourage friendships between residents.

“When a resident is strongly bonded to their pet and the live-in pet situation is well managed, the benefits to that resident, other residents and staff should not be underestimated.”

Pictures: Rob Patrick

Annual visitors flock to Flinders JUST as many families pride themselves on an annual visit to a favourite holiday spot so it is for thousands of birds that regard Western Port as one of their homes.

The large bay and its islands include internationally recognised wetlands which governments have an obligation to protect under the Ramsar treaty as well as beaches.

One migratory bird that regularly flies in to Flinders is back for its 14 th recorded visit.

Flagged when two years old, the ruddy turnstone has been making a

24,000 kilometre round trip since 2003. Another two-year-old was flagged in 2007.

Victorian Wader Study Group member Penny Johns keenly awaits the arrival of the birds each year and says four other turnstones spotted this year dropped in one their way back to King Island where they were originally flagged.

Ms Johns and other birdwatchers have been flagging turnstones, red-necked stints and other migratory shorebirds at Flinders since the mid1990s.

“Ruddy turnstones are very site faithful,” Ms Johns said. “That was one of the reasons that we chose that species to attach geolocators to in 2007.

“We had to re-catch them to download the information and we knew there was a good chance of that.

“However, their numbers are in decline. In 1997 there were 150 here when we first flagged them. Today we are lucky to see 20.”

Ms Johns said some good news was that a pair of hooded plovers was nesting at Flinders, the first recorded there for 20 years.

The sounds of music help Art show’s musical background students find their way SONGS and music cut across all boundaries and a concert being held in Mornington this month is being held to help young people take up education rather than crime.

Run by the Brotherhood of St Laurence, the RESET program helps students fit back into mainstream classes at Monterey Secondary College, Frankston.

Concert organisers say lyrics of the song Street Angel sung by Colleen Hewitt about the plight of street kids best expresses their thoughts: “The soul of our nation shines through the eyes of her children.�

The RESET - (Re-engaging Early Secondary Education and Training) - project is designed for 10 and 14 year olds living in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula who are disengaged from school and involved with crime.

Since late last year the program has been run in a stand-alone room in the college grounds.

While operating independently, the RESET students, who are enrolled at the college, participate in several school activities, including sport.

They are helped to develop interpersonal problem solving and other skills. One member of RESET’s team is a psychologist, whose work with the students includes cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

The program began in response to concerns by Victoria Police and schools that young people were likely to live a life of ongoing disadvantage

and crime without appropriate help.

The college provides a part-time teacher’s aide and its staff help to facilitate the transition of young people from the RESET program into mainstream classes.

Money raised through the Mornington concert will help supply students involved in the RESET program with text books and stationary and pay for their transport.

The concert, A Christmas Cracker, is billed as featuring a bass, a baritone, a soprano and a pianist as well as three tenors.

Guest artist is Berlin-based tenor Michael Smallwood who returns to Melbourne for this month’s Melbourne Art and Song Collective at the Melbourne Recital Centre. Also on the bill is The Aspidistra Vocal Quartet, with tenors Richard Hobson and Adrian McEniery, baritone Michael Leighton Jones and bass Jerzy Kozlowski with Michael Fulcher.

The program is by MC Michael Leighton Jones and will also feature the Brotherhood's own soprano Meredith Kerr.

A Christmas Cracker, 7.30pm 27 November Mornington Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington (Melway 145 E2). Tickets: $60 (concession $50) include tea, coffee and wine from Prancing Hill Estate at interval. Bookings: mpearce@bsl. org.au or call 0407 145 552.

The Brotherhood of St Laurence can arrange transport from aged care homes and other venues.

Mag award puts aero club top of the nation

Beware: con men on the move

PENINSULA Aero Club, Tyabb, has been named Aero Club of the Year.

This comes through aviation magazine, Australian Flying, acting for the Royal Aeronautical Society, Australian Division.

“Of all the clubs in the country, Peninsula Aero Club’s submission won,” president Peter Bernardi said.

The award was presented by Captain David Jacobson, a former commercial airline pilot with 24,000 flying hours’ experience.

It recognises the club’s outstanding support, facilities and training to the general aviation community, as well as its high standards of safety in operations, while creating an environment that fosters participation in aviation.

The award also acknowledges the efforts of club members and the committee as being valuable members of the general aviation community.

“It is a fantastic achievement for the aero club,” Mr Bernardi said.

The November/December edition of Australian Flying award reads: “Peninsula Aero Club is not only a vibrant club for visitors and aviators, but also the body that administers Mornington Peninsula Airport at Tyabb in Victoria.

“With around 530 members, PAC provides facilities for social gatherings, maintenance organisations, warbird collectors, Air Ambulance, Victoria Police Air Wing, Royal Flying Doctor Service and firebombing operations.

“PAC is also actively involved in encouraging secondary school students to explore flying careers through the Student Flight Training

THE state government is warning Victorians about a coming spike in the number of dodgy door-to-door tradespeople trying to rip off people.

Consumer affairs minister Jane Garrett said summer was the peak time for con men offering cheap "today only" cash deals on jobs such as painting, roof and driveway repairs.

In 2014-15, Consumer Affairs Victoria received 486 reports of travelling con men, with reported losses totalling $1.35 million. Reports spike between January and March.

Ms Garrett said con men often ask for cash payments up front, then take the money and run. They leave behind unfinished or poor quality work.

Victorians are encouraged to report con men to a national hot line – 1300 133 408 – or call police.

Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Fyffe of Frankston police said a gang of Irish gypsies several years ago had conned several "vulnerable" elderly homeowners out of tens of thousands of dollars by promising to repair their roofs.

The gang extracted deposit money and cash for supplies, returned next day and appeared to do work on the roof but caused more damage, he said. Some con men used fake business cards from a legitimate company.

The men were caught, had their visas revoked and were deported to Ireland.

Sergeant Fyffe urged residents to be careful of itinerant tradies. Never pay money up front. If the price sounds too good to be true it usually is.

"If you need a tradie, look online or in the Yellow Pages," he said.

program.

“Members are also very active in Angel Flight and the club is one of the major supporters of FunFlight.”

Mr Bernardi said club management’s view was that Tyabb airport is “an integral part of the Tyabb community”.

The aero club will host the Christmas Toy Run with the Antique

Aeroplane Association of Australia on Saturday 28 November.

“Our Tyabb community is invited to join us,” Mr Bernardi said. “It’s our way of giving something back.

“We’ll have aircraft on display, some fantastic heavy metal going through its paces in the sky and, afterwards, on display near the clubhouse.

“There will be a free sausage sizzle

lunch and club members will be out and about with their planes.”

Visitors can take unwrapped gifts for Food for All, which has been working across the Mornington Peninsula for the past 24 years. Toys are needed for children aged 8-14. Lego or similar are always popular.

Tyabb Air Show will be held on the long weekend, Sunday 13 March.

LETTERS Supporting the cap Councils trying various means to get around the state government-imposed rate cap ("Rate cap may not quell cash calls", The News, 27/10/15) are apparently too stupid to understand that the government is telling them to curb their expansionism.

Rates are already becoming a crippling burden and many people have to use credit to pay them.

I don't believe ratepayers want new services, departments, or features (empire building) that councils say we need.

A lot of council functions are contracted out: a simple building permit for a garage in 1982 cost me $10, under privatisation it is now $400.

The reality is we hardly need councils at all.

We have computers and the horse and buggy era is over.

Most councils need to become smaller, not larger. Rates need to go down each year, not up.

The second rate, the shifty "municipal charge", needs to be abolished. I know that populations are increasing, requiring expanded existing services, but more houses equals more rate income.

This country of about 24 million people does not need three levels of government. I wonder how many tens (or hundreds) of billions of dollars does this third tier of government cost the citizens and taxpayers?

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

MP appears rattled I attended the peaceful and friendly gathering outside Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s office and photographer Brett Tyler is absolutely accurate in describing the behaviour of the Environment Minister as intimidating, rude and unprofessional (“Tensions rise as MP calls ‘cut’”, The News 20/10/15).

Inside Mr Hunt’s office things were not much better as he continued to be very defensive and adversarial. It was hardly a cosy "chat" but a good patronising talking to.

Mr Hunt clearly wasn’t there to listen but to intimidate well-meaning and concerned constituents. When I protested to Minister Hunt about his patronising manner he told me I should “toughen up”. One constituent actually out of the meeting in disgust.

During the meeting I asked him to respond to the assessment of Australia’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by Lord Deben , chairman of the UK's Committee on Climate Change.

Lord Deben has described Australia’s efforts as “sad and a “disgrace” (ABC, The Drum 7/10/15).

Mr Hunt responded by saying that he had met with Lord Deben and that Lord Deben had said to him that Australia was doing well with climate change but he had toe the line of the UK Climate

Change Commission. Mr Hunt then said that he had asked that Lord Deben not therefore criticise Australia’s efforts publicly.

Mr Hunt’s behaviour would surely indicate that he must be seriously rattled by the continuing protests, not just outside his office, but right across Australia and indeed the world. One wonders if Mr Hunt has to swim against the tide of expert opinion to maintain his grip on a ministerial position that he considers more important than the future for our children and grandchildren.

Unreliable energy As a Greens supporter Rupert Steiner (“Greener approach”, Letters 20/1/15) is strong on rhetoric and weak on energy facts. We can all subscribe to the concept of “sustainable development” and whatever is meant by “a more equal way of living for all people”: but what are the realities?: Renewable energy sources are not 24 hour reliable.

Renewables are more expensive sources of energy than coal based power, which is why they are subsidised through legislation to force the purchase by electricity retailers of 20 per cent of their needs by 2020. This cost is passed on to all electricity users, and we do not like it.

Battery storage technology may one day be developed to enable solar to meet our domestic needs at a price that is affordable to all countries.

Hydro power is limited, unless the Greens are planning on building massive dams Nuclear power is reliable and does not produce carbon dioxide, but may have long term disposable issues, which are manageable.

Mathematical models on which all the dire predictions for climate change are based have been shown to be wrong.

Trees and plants are relishing the slightly higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and research suggests they have shown improved growth rates. Perhaps the solution is the development of plants and trees with accelerated ability to convert carbon dioxide into carbon fix trees; is that where our research money should go?

Taking sensible steps to make the most efficient use of fossil fuels that we have to use makes sense.

Perhaps Mr Steiner on behalf of fellow greenies can answer simple questions: What are the reliable renewable energy sources that are available 24 hours, 365 days at a competitive cost today to replace the cost effective brown coal that powers Victoria (but produces significant carbon dioxide)? Alan Reid, Sorrento

Time to change Yes there is human produced global warming.

The majority of climate scientists have come to that conclusion. Dissenters mostly speak for the carbon extraction industries, greedy speculators or flat earth believers.

We are heading into another period of El Nino-produced dry conditions with large areas of southern Australia already facing diminished or no grain production. Will this once again last 10 years, or will it be worse?

We have to stop digging up the world’s carbon fuels and turn to renewables quickly to hold global warming to a maximum of two per cent above average temperatures at the turn of this century.

Hopefully the world will come away from the Paris climate talks with a meaningful and achievable target for carbon emissions.

The Great Barrier Reef is in danger of being damaged irreparably, by the warming of the oceans, proposed mega mines, dredging for new ports and huge coal ships. Bad agricultural practices are releasing nutrients into the water of the reef.

Don Palmer’s great love of coal fired power stations in the La Trobe valley seem to have lasted only a year (“DIY environment”, Letters 27/10/15).

After his recounting the joys of washing clothes several times to get them clean and his son’s experience with soot from the power plants, I assume he moved away as soon as he could and came to Dromana. Their puffs of white clouds seem to have turned into a great big fire not so long ago, from which a lot of people in the La Trobe Valley will suffer for a while yet.

I won’t rush to apologise to [former prime minister] Tony Abbott in a hurry. He is too busy to accept it at the moment anyway, seeing he is now preaching his three-word slogans on the other side of the world.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Bay Trail “facts” wrong I was alarmed to read the misinformation put forward by Kelvin Stingel (“Trail of Destruction”, Letters, 27/10/2015) and I would like to reassure the community that the assertions he made against this project are entirely uninformed.

Mr Stingel has not been involved in any of the community Bay Trail discussions over the past 18 months. Contrary to his claims, the proposed missing links will still meander through the foreshore to complement the existing sections of the Bay Trail walk and will preserve and respect valuable vegetation and cultural heritage.

Point Nepean Rd started life as an indigenous walking track and part of our Bay Trail vision is to restore the quiet charm and cultural heritage of this walk with geographically significant indigenous vegetation. Further, each of the Boon Wurrung representative groups are very eager to share their story at key points along the trail and I am extremely grateful for their input and support to date.

Mr Stingel is unaware that much of the walk, particularly around these sensitive areas, will be

managed by raised boardwalks, allowing protection of indigenous cultural heritage, growth of vegetation and free movement of small native animals. The missing links will certainly not be “4.4m wide ... concrete … parallel to Point Nepean Rd” as he asserts.

Further, to suggest that completion of these missing links will lead to the “irrevocable destruction of our coastline” is wrong. The foreshore management committee, Mornington Peninsula Shire, various local community groups, all indigenous groups, Government MPs and myself are all supportive of the draft alignments and budgets for the trail and will be jointly submitting these to Environment Minister Lisa Neville in coming weeks to seek budget approval next year.

Mr Stingel is welcome to meet with me if he would like to be fully briefed on the facts.

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Bus needs support As we all know, the funding for the Peninsula Bus which is used by students to get from the Mornington Peninsula to universities, has been de-funded by the federal government. Despite desperate pleas to our local representative, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, refunding this essential service is not a priority of his. Oh well, maybe in the next election year.

I thought that there had been a lifeline thrown to this service by the state government with $4.1 million from the Interface Growth Fund. I have since learned that this money can only be used for infrastructure projects and with respect to PenBus, the guidelines were very clear that “out-of-scope” applications – operating costs, roads and public transport infrastructure - were not included.

I found those that I talked to at Mornington Peninsula Shire would like to do nothing better than use some of these funds for the PenBus but their hands are tied.

The shire is actively petitioning the state government to help out with this important service and are also looking at other options, which would not be their first choice.

It is sad that Mr Hunt appears too busy publishing four colour brochures telling us about all of the gladhanding he is doing around the peninsula (but nothing of significance), intimidating photographers in public space, and fast tracking obsolete coal mines to destroy our farms and environment to do something about this. Just another instance of cost shifting to local government.

The Western Port Whisperer THE Whisperer and Mrs Whisperer love dancing, similar to the way Kath and Kel would in the TV series Kath and Kim. Music these days is extremely irritating, especially when your neighbours like listening to *bang bang doof doof* in the early hours of the morning. The Whisperer hates it, as Mrs Whisperer wakes up and resumes the nagging on some minor yet overlooked matter. Here are some tips to annoying neighbours everywhere.

1. You may feel the need to play loud music. The reality is your individual need is outweighed by the needs of those around you. If you need to play music late at night, try headphones. In case your hearing has been effected by too much loud music, TRY HEADPHONES! 2. Avoid using violence to resolve matters: instead try talking and compromise. Leave the swearing, assaults, death threats, vandalism and other claptrap for the Hollywood big screen.

3. Sort out issues before they escalate. Again, leave the re-enactments of war to Hollywood. *** SPEAKING about annoying noises is anyone else sick of ‘mini- bikes’ driving around at night? The Whisperer understands this is an ongoing issue in Somerville, Hastings and around bushland reserves in Bittern and Crib Point. The Whisperer has heard rumours that a rider was caught and charged, howev-

PAGE 12

Western Port News 3 November 2015

er their bike was not impounded, despite laws being in place for some time now. A further rumour suggests this might be due to access issues at the storage compound where impounded bikes are stored. The Whisperer hopes mini-bike issues are treated with a stronger priority, as their prevalence has not declined since impound laws were introduced last year. *** AS an observer of all things community safety, the Whisperer is disappointed to see lighting installed in O’Toole Walk (pictured) back in July, has not been switched four months after installation, despite spiel from relevant authorities that community safety is a top priority.

In this time an entire laneway in Mornington (near the cinema) has been redeveloped, with lighting included. It seems redeveloping a laneway in Mornington is easier than flicking a switch in Hastings. While some of us play it safe when betting in the Melbourne Cup, the Whisperer thinks it’s a safe bet the relevant authorities will come up with some excuse for this blunder. *** UNTIL next time, get along with your neighbours and gamble responsibly. If you’ve heard a whisper, let The Whisperer know: westernportwhisperer@gmail.com

Car race takes its toll on Ironman Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au

In charge: Southern United president Theresa Deas and senior coach Stuart Munro. Picture: Darryl Kennedy

Southern United selects next season’s coaches

By Craig MacKenzie SOUTHERN United Soccer Club has named Theresa Deas as president and Stuart Munro as head coach. It is one of eight clubs contesting next year’s inaugural Victorian Women’s National Premier League competition.

Deas is a former Matilda’s goalkeeper who made her Victorian state debut aged 14 and her international debut at 17. She was inducted into Football Federation Australia’s Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Football Federation Victoria equivalent in 2011.

Married with two daughters she has managed the national women’s team, Victorian state teams, is a former director of Women’s Soccer Victoria, worked as a women’s football develop-

ment officer and project officer and sat on the FFV women’s standing committee.

Munro has had a celebrated career as a professional footballer and as a coach. The Scot played with St Mirren and Alloa before establishing himself with Glasgow giant Rangers where he played for seven years. He also played with English clubs Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City before coming to Australia in 1997 to join Sydney United.

Munro has coached Gippsland Falcons, Carlton, Parramatta Power, South Melbourne, Oakleigh Cannons and Dandenong Thunder and has been assistant coach of Perth Glory.

Southern United is expected to announce the rest of its coaching staff shortly.

NEXT year’s Ironman Asia Pacific Championship race has been cancelled and Frankston Council fears the region’s economy will take a multimillion dollar hit as a result.

Race organisers blamed a scheduling conflict with the Melbourne Grand Prix on the same weekend of 17-20 March as the reason to pull the pin on the swim, cycle and run triathlon but authorities say both events could have been accommodated.

The annual race, held in the south east of Melbourne, begins in Frankston and ends at St Kilda with the bike stage taking place along Eastlink after the swim stage at Frankston.

In a statement last Thursday (29 October) World Triathlon Corporation Asia Pacific CEO Geoff Meyer said the cancellation was due to “challenges that have arisen due to a scheduling conflict with another major event in the Melbourne calendar”.

The Australian Formula One Grand Prix was originally scheduled to be held in Melbourne on 31 March-3 April but was moved to 17-20 March.

“Holding both events on the same day was explored; however, the impact on the city, surrounding communities, roads and emergency services was not manageable for an event to be delivered in Melbourne to the level required for our athletes’ safety and satisfaction,” Mr Meyer said.

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said the Ironman race cancellation is “a devastating blow” to Frankston.

“This annual international event brings widereaching benefits to local businesses, on both the day of the event and ahead of the race. It attracts 15,000 spectators and 2,500 competitors to

Frankston City, who contribute an additional $2.2 million to the economy.”

Cr Mayer said council had notified the Ironman race organisers that the entire event could be hosted in the Bayside region to avoid traffic clashes with Grand Prix attendees.

“This would turn a potential issue into an opportunity that would benefit the south east Melbourne region.”

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said he is “bitterly disappointed” World Triathlon Corporation decided not to proceed with next year’s event.

He understood competitor registration numbers were lower than expected for 2016 compared to previous years.

“The organisers were presented with a range of options, including changing the route so the event finished in Frankston, but they’ve nonetheless decided to cancel the event for commercial reasons,” he said.

A spokesman for Sports Minister John Eren said there was no logistical reason to cancel next year’s Ironman event.

“This is a commercial decision made by the World Triathlon Corporation and is not due to a clash with another event,” spokesman Patrick Lane said.

“Victoria is more than capable of hosting the big events side by side at the same time - our track record proves it.”

The triathlon was first held in 2011 and next year was the final race before the partially taxpayer funded event’s contract was due for renegotation.

World Triathlon Corporation says all athletes registered for the 2016 Ironman Asia-Pacific Championship Melbourne will be offered race transfer and race refund options.

Last ditch effort to save dam land for frogs Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE co-founder of Kunyung Residents Group, formed to lobby for South East Water's decommissioned Mt Eliza reservoir to be turned into a reserve, has started an online petition.

The blurb accompanying Rebecca Taylor's change.org petition is an impassioned letter to Premier Daniel Andrews, planning minister Richard Wynne, South East Water, and Mornington Peninsula Shire requesting the land become a wildlife reserve instead

of a 24-lot housing estate.

It is headed "South East Water customers, would you give up a $6 savings on your bill to save a frog?"

The dam was decommissioned in 1999 and has become a haven for wildlife. It is on the corner of Barmah and Kanya roads near Kunyung Rd. Wildlife experts say the fenced 2.8-hectare block contains about 100 locally significant flora and fauna species including the only substantial frog population in Mt Eliza. It is home to native birds and mammals – including the endangered grey-headed flying fox – and holds the only established

colony of now locally rare kangaroo grass as well as orchids.

In early 2014, South East Water asked the shire to rezone the 24 blocks of about 1000 square metres each via a planning scheme amendment, which must be approved by planning Minister Richard Wynne. SEW wants to sell the blocks to developers for full price, estimated to be worth between $10–$13 million.

An independent planning panel heard from all parties in August, and recommended the land be used for houses with no reserve, disappointing residents, the shire and Mornington

MP David Morris who in the Parliament had called on state environment minister Lisa Neville to "give the land to the people" for a reserve.

"Transport magnate Sir Reg Ansett bought the land in the late 1950s and gave it to State Rivers and Water Supply Commission for a reservoir instead of a site on his land nearby.

A submission to set aside two lots for public housing was rejected by the panel as was a request by the shire that one hectare be public open space.

The panel report has been sent to Mr Wynne, who has the final say.

In her letter, Ms Taylor says the

water authority told her money from the land sale would be passed on to its customer. "At the current market value of the land, this would equate to a $6 one-off saving for each of its 1.65 million customers.

"Join with us to tell South East Water and the Victorian Andrews Government that we would prefer that they use our $6 saving for a more altruistic purpose of preserving the environment of the reservoir."

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Long awaited ‘Caste’ opens Tuesday Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE annual meeting of the Tyabb Annual Picnic will be held on Monday evening next at 8 o’clock. *** THE “Wattles” Club are holding one of their popular dances tonight (Saturday) when a good time is expected.

One shilling will be charged for admission, and a good supper will be provided. *** WORD has been received at the Frankston Post Office, that on and after the 1st November mails will be due at Frankston at 2.39 p.m. daily, in lieu of 6.11 p.m. as formerly. *** WE have received some schedules and entry forms, relating to the Moorabin Show which will be held at Cheltenham, on the 13th inst.

The proceeds are being devoted to the Australian Sick and Wounded Soldiers Fund, and we understand that quite a number of donations in goods have been received, which will be offered by auction by Mr W. P. Fairlam on the day of the Show. Entries close on the 9th November at the Show office, Cheltenham. *** THE name of Sapper Harold T. H. Reeve appears in the list of those who have died of wounds at Gallipoli. He was the nephew of Messrs C. and T. Cooper, of Frankston, 26 years of age, and followed the occupation of a plummer.

Though he enlisted from Euroa, he

was well known in this district, and was a member of the Malvern and Dandenong brass bands, for both of which he did service as a cornet player. He leaves a father and brother, who reside at Rutherglen. *** THE members of St Paul’s Club, Frankston, have been putting through a big double task in preparing scenery as well as learning and rehearsing their parts in the great three act com edy “Caste,” which is to be staged at Carrum on Tuesday night, and at Frankston on Wednesday night.

The new scenery has been made on new and special lines, and is parti cularly adapted for quick changes be tween the acts. It comprises two separate interiors, and represents a spacious drawing room and a common living room.

The play itself is one of the finest comedies ever staged. It combines farce, burlesque, high class comedy and touching drama, in never ending variety. Written forty years ago, for the Prince of Wales’ Theatre, London, it was recently produced at large theatres in Sydney and Melbourne.

Its theme is one of never failing interest, the law of caste and the meaning of social distinctions. In spite of the great difficulties which attend the staging of such a farce as this, the offering by St Paul’s Club should be well worth seeing.. The rehearsing has been thorough going and the players are well suited to their parts. There will be one or two musical items, as well as the comedy.

As the piece is not short, the audience is requested to be started by eight o’clock sharp. *** A somewhat novel provision has been incorporated in the Justices Act, consolidated, and it is now law. Where a person who is in gaol is prepared to pay a part of his fine the governor of the gaol can accept it and, calculating what portion of the total sentence it represents, deduct that time from the sentence.

If, for instance, a man has been fined a pound and can pay 10s his sentence in default of payment would be reduced by half. This system has been in vogue for some time in New South Wales, where it has been found to work well, and its adoption here meets with the approval of the Crown Law officers, *** THE prolific growth of crops this season is causing officials at the Lands department apprehension of dangers by fire. It has therefore been deemed necessary to issue a very special caution as to the lighting of fires and burning off.

The Minister of Lands invites the cooperation and assistance of all concerned in minimising the risk that must inevitably occur during the approaching summer season.

Wherever possible assistance is to be given to Australian fruit growers to obtain insulated space for perishable goods on transports. *** MR Jensen, Minister for the Navy,

stated on Wednesday that the Director of Transport Captain Clarkson, had recommended to him that a conference should be held with the fruit growers in Australia with regard to their wants over the coming shipping season.

The Minister added that it was his intention, therefore, to have a conference held in about ten days time in Melbourne with a view to ascertaining the amount of insulated space required upon the transports.

Wherever it is possible he intended to assist the fruitgrowers to get their perishable goods on the market in Londod during the months of February, March, April, and May. *** “Polly my pet, my brightest little batswing. and most brilliant burner” Sam the gasman in “Caste.” *** ON Tuesday evening 16th November, the Hon Samuel Mauger (Greatest Temperance Reformer in Australia) will lecture in the local town hall.

The lecture will be on “The War and its affects.” On Thursday evening last the business people of this town met in the hall to discuss the best ways and means of assisting the band. The band is worthy of assistance and it was agreed to hold a concert and dance on November 19th. The programme for the concert will consist of Melbourne and local talent. The following officers were duly elected.— Chairman Mr R. Davis; secretary, Mr E T Kinninmont; treasurer, Mrs O’Neill; committee, Messrs H Knox, P. Ryan, D. Hoban, A. T. Denison, A. Campbell,

F. Strickland, A. Perrot, G. Hoglund(?) and Mrs Kay. “M’ladyship, you and me’d have a dream together on the quiet.” Eccles, in “Caste.” *** AN error crept in the paragraph devoted to the Langwarrin Tennis Club last issue. Mr Herbert Oates was the winner of the racket and press, not Mr H Carrs, as reported. *** TWO of our young men, W.Thomas and Leo.McNally, have entered into partnership as market gardeners to supply the residents cost to the railway station. They do not intend to compete for outside local trade. Any surplus supplies will be sent to Melbourne for export. We wish them every success. *** MISS Gillard, who succeeded Mr H Tidiman, as health teacher of the local state school here, is proving very painstaking with the scholars, and good results are to be expected at the examinations to be held this month. *** AT a committee meeting it was decided to asphalt the floor of the shelter shed of the school. Mr G. Upton was elected correspondent and Mr P.J.Murray treasurer. It was decided to grant a school holiday one day this month to enable scholars to attend the Methodist Sunday School picnic. *** VERY few of our punters picked Patrobas for the Cup. In one instance a soldier invested £5 and won £100.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Captain Tightpants and the exploding casserole of death

By Stuart McCullough WITH the benefit of hindsight, I am not proud of my behaviour. Frankly, I could have been more compassionate, more sympathetic. But in your late teens and early twenties, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nuanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is something of a stranger and every emotion is extreme. I was no different in this regard. It was these traits together whether a lack of guile that can only be described as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spectacularâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that made me a truly lousy housemate.

Share house living is an experience best enjoyed as nostalgia. As wonderful as it is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time in your life that you spend the rest of your days trying never to repeat. I remember it as a shock to the system. One day, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living at home with your parents and in danger of being grounded if you so much as leave a pair of socks on the ground. The next youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in squalor, surrounded by anarchy and setting secondhand furniture on fire in an attempt to keep warm.

I lived with all kinds of people.

From artists to religious zealots to new age hippies and engineers. There were insomniacs and those who hibernated until well after noon. Left wing, right wing, chicken wing: I cohabitated with them all. As for me, a reasonable description might be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;steadfastly uptightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. But as uptight as I was, it was nothing compared to one guy I lived with.

I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use his real name. For all I know, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mellowed out and is now the nicest guy in the world. For the sake of anonymity, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call him â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Winston Churchillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. No, wait â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I can do better. Perhaps â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Captain Tightpantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a more suitable name. Me and the

Captain lived with another guy who, although entirely reasonable and normal should also be awarded the cloak of anonymity so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to call him â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chuck Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The three of us lived in a share house in Clayton.

We were all quite different; the Cap-

tain, Chuck and I. What we had in common was our domestic ineptitude.

None of us could cook or had any idea how to run a household. Wide-eyed and witless, we simply did the best we could. Back then, the cornerstone of my culinary repertoire was a dish

I now refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cheese glue with tunaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Frankly, I was a hopeless cook.

The Captain, on the other hand, was not quite as good as I was.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what its official title was. Perhaps â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the slabâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Consisting of mixed vegetables doused in an anonymous syrup, crowned with a layer of burnt chops as some kind of carnivorous canopy; all poured into a glass casserole dish and frozen solid. When Captain Tightpants produced this solidified chunk of yuck from the deep freeze of the Kelvinator, I had my doubts. These doubts quickly transformed to outright suspicion as the Captain proceeded to cook his frozensolid monstrosity by plonking it on the stovetop and cranking up the heat way, way up.

The coil turned a bright, sulfuric red.

The slab groaned as the heat and deepfreeze wrestled with each other. When it gave way, it sounded like thunder.

With a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;crackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the glass casserole dish exploded, sending vegetable remnants and the chop covering in all directions across the kitchen. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit, I found it somewhat amusing. That, or so I thought, was the last Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see of the slab.

But I was so very wrong. When dinner was served, it looked a lot like post-explosion vegetable casserole.

Granted, as a result of the force of the blast, it was hard to recognize anything much. Demanding an explanation, I was told by Captain Tightpants that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d saved the meal by scraping off the blast debris into a saucepan and reheating it. Lifting the first forkful, I could see shards of glass sticking out.

I instantly declared I would eat not one mouthful on occupational health and

safety grounds. Chuck D needed little persuading and joined my boycott. We quickly let the table; electing, instead, to get fish and chips. The Captain ate every last morsel.

A more mature person might have steered clear and avoided conflict. Or maybe even found a new place to live.

I, however, was not a mature person. I decided that the best way to deal with such a delicate situation was to write a story about it and submit it to a radio station. It was, apparently, read out with some fanfare. Frankly, I spilled my guts more than I ought to have.

I wrote about the time the Captain tore down a picture of musician Paul Kelly on the grounds that he â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;looked Satanicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, choosing to omit that I had then put it up again after defacing it through the addition of horns and a tail. I recounted his violin playing that, to me at least, sounded like a mosquito death-spiral, leaving out the fact that I owned an acoustic guitar and was prone to caterwauling of my own.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear them read it out. But I knew Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d crossed a line when parishioners from Captain Tightpantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church turned up at the house to stage an intervention. At the time, I was predictably unrepentant. But now, with the benefit of hindsight, I have come to regret my actions. As is the way with share houses, we each drifted in our own direction and I have no idea what became of the Captain. Maybe he mellowed out. Part of me likes to think he became a chef. But wherever you may be, dear Captain Tightpants, I wish you well. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Music  Arts  Food THE MOUNTAIN: A COMING OF AGE

By Melissa Walsh Lachlan Bryan is back and forth from his house in Richmond and Mt Eliza but still calls the peninsula home.

“Shaun Ryan, our bass player, helped a lot with the vocals too, and this album we concentrated a lot more on the singing as the sound.”

The 34-year-old country music sensation has done the peninsula proud with his band Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes since their album debut six years ago.

For the release of this record, Bryan says he’s grown a mountain climber’s beard, and reckons he needs it.

The dynamic team has since had three hit albums and released their fourth, The Mountain, on 25 September.

The highly anticipated album comes two years after their smash hit, 2013’s Black Coffee, which won the 2014 Golden Guitar for Alternative Country Album of the Year and The Age Music Victoria Award for Best Country Album of the Year. The album, which debuted at number 12 on the ARIA Australian Albums Charts, confirmed Bryan as one of Australia’s finest new country singers and songwriters.

The Alternative Country and Folk band released their much awaited album last week, coinciding with a national tour.

Billed as Bryan’s most personal album yet, The Mountain features 12 brand new songs recorded in his hometown of Melbourne.

“The songs on the new album are definitely more personal, and a sign I think that we are maturing as musicians. It’s not just about the music, it’s about telling a story,” says Bryan. “When I first started writing

“There’s blood in these songs, between the lines and the back story. It’s the most personal we have done,” says Bryan of the landmark recording from one of the country’s most versatile collectives.

songs I was influenced by people like Bob Dylan and Tom Waites, who write more about other people. I decided to dig deep and write from my own personal experience for this album.”

Bryan says the reason it’s called The Mountain is to signify the journey.

“It’s like a coming of age album, with a personal element of the journey of going through hard times. When you reach the top of the mountain you realise it’s all about the journey, and that you still have to come

back down, and find another peak to climb,” he says.

For Bryan and the rest of the band, this album has been particularly enjoyable to make.

“We took longer to write and record this one. Our drummer, Mat Duniam, who’s a Frankston boy, did all the arrangements for the horn section, and had a lot of input into the songs,” says Bryan, who first met Duniam on a train on the Frankston line.

Recording The Mountain in the studio, Bryan was joined by drummer Mat Duniam, bassist Shaun Ryan, and guitarist Damian Cafarell, alongside legendary session player James Gillard (Paul Kelly, Kasey Chambers), pianist Ben Grayson (The Bamboos), and pedal steel player Seamus O’Sullivan (Ruby Boots, Bakersfield Glee Club).

The Mountain has been called Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes at “their careworn, uncluttered best. Lacquered throughout with nostalgic guitar parts straight out of the Sun Records playbook, the album traverses dancehall rock’n’roll, heartworn alt. countryAmericana, and freewheeling rockabilly.”

To coincide with the album’s release Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes will be playing at The Caravan Club on Saturday 7 November. lachlanbryan.com

Wickets tumble at Mt Eliza PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully IT was a tough day for batsmen in ordinary conditions on Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket.

The result was 16 wickets falling in the match between top teams Mt Eliza and Baxter.

Mt Eliza won the toss and elected to bat in the round three match at Emil Madsden Reserve but things went pearâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;shaped after the openers in Tim Clarke (30) and Chris Whisbey (16) went out.

Other than Brendan Jovic at 11, the

Mt Eliza batsmen failed to get into double figures.

The likes of Justin Grant (4), Tim Stickland (5) and Keith Briggs (4) all failed with the bat and the home team was bowled out for just 111.

Chamika Sattambi made it 13 wickets in three matches after snaring 5/26 from 12.1 overs.

Ben Brittain bowled eight overs, had four maidens and took 2/16.

Baxter was certainly in the box seat going out to bat. However, at stumps, the visitors were reeling at 6/74.

Openers Shane McComb and Daniel Lanati were both dismissed with

Tigers tame Panthers DISTRICT

By IT Gully SEAFORD Tigers has put itself in a strong position to pick up the 12 points after taming the Pearcedale Panthers in District cricket on Saturday.

The newly promoted Panthers have started the 201516 season in sensational fashion, winning their first two matches, however they did stumble against the Tigers on Saturday.

It was only a few seasons ago that these sides were playing against each other in Sub District.

The Panthers batted first and were rolled for just 128.

Shane Maggs (34) and Shayne Gillings (40) were the only batsmen to offer any resistance, while Brad Trotter did open with 15 and Chris Dew hit 16.

Jordan Watters, who has promised to burst onto the scene for a number of seasons, was superb for the Tigers with the new ball, snaring 5/57 off 22 overs.

The evergreen Ash Mills was also on top of his game yet again with 3/12.

In reply, Anthony Joel is already back in the sheds courtesy of Dew (1/1) after the Tigers had to face the last two overs of the day. They will resume at 1/7.

Boneo has set Red Hill a reasonable target for victory after scoring 182 themselves on Saturday up at the hill.

Batting first, the Pandas scored their highest total of the year and put themselves in a reasonable position to challenge on day two.

Tom McCarthy has taken this competition by the scruff of the neck for Red Hill, picking up 5/33 to add to his six wickets in round two. He has 11/68 from 42 overs with 20 maidens in two matches.

Andrew Mock and Lincoln Toy each claimed two wickets.

In reply, the Hillmen are 0/10.

Carrum will need to bat better than it has in the opening two matches of the season to get the 176 runs required to beat Mt Martha.

The Reds batted first on Saturday and made 175, thanks largely to 45 runs from wicket keeper/batsman Ben Shorthouse, who batted at three, 29 from Brett Wilkinson and 20 from Tim Moran.

Jeremy Graves was the pick of the Carrum bowlers, opening with 3/29, while Liam Dobson and Jake Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atri each snared two wickets.

In reply, Carrum faced the last three overs of the day and will resume at 0/5.

Bowling into the record books: Glenn Barclay took 9/24 off 18 overs against Rye on Saturday; a Crib Point Cricket Club record. Picture: Ricky Thompson

Western Port News 3 November 2015

the score on five and Daniel Warwick fell for 13 when the score was on 26.

Four runs later, Chris Brittain (10) was back in the sheds.

Todd Quinn (13) and Leigh Paterson (10) will resume not out this week while Ben Brittain is more than handy with the bat also.

One senses this one will go to the wire.

Jovic was the pick of the bowlers for the Redlegs with 4/20 from nine overs.

Pines has set Moorooduc 188 for victory after the home side survived 72 overs on Saturday.

Jeremy Weare returned for the

Piners and had an immediate impact, opening with 30, while Pat Jackson contributed 28 batting at four. Rhys Chalkley (35) was also a significant contributor at seven.

Moorooduc skipper Leigh Lambert was the best of the bowlers with 5/41 from 18.2 overs.

In reply, the Ducs are 0/2.

Rye is once again in terrible shape, this time against Crib Point.

The Demons are staring at another outright loss after being bowled out for 67 in the first innings on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve.

Andrew Hitchener was again the

Rye batsman to contribute on the scoreboard with 15, while Andrew Dunn scored 17.

Glen Barclay was sensational for the Magpies, picking up nine wickets.

Brad Arnold prevented Barclay from picking up all 10.

The Magpies then put together a quick fire 6/106 with Luke Herrington smacking 55 and Ricky Thompson an unbeaten 24 before sending the Demons back into bat at the end of the day.

Rye will resume at 2/26, still 13 runs behind with eight wickets in hand.

In other Red Hill club news, veteran club administrator Jim White has taken over as President of the club replacing Roger Siversen, Roger will stay with the club and assist with sponsorship and marketing.

In other news ď Ž Chris Hay has returned to Karingal after spending a couple of seasons at Tarwin. ď Ž Sorrento has signed 25-year-old key forward/ruckman and three times State VAFA representative centre half forward Nick Corp.

He was runner up in Old Collegians B&F in A Grade Amateurs last year. ď Ž Sorrento is also in deep discussions with a multiple peninsula league team of the year forward.

ď Ž Rye signed Rosebud young-gun Sean Downie, who later withdrew his interest to go to the club to remain at Rosebud. However, Jimmy Jennings and James Appleford have both returned from Dolphins while they have also secured VAFA representative player Harry Witty. ď Ž Rosebud has lost gun forward Tom Baker to Casey, while premiership stars Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest have also left. Bristow is going to Parkdale and Forrest, despite what some may say, is tossing up between Parkdale and Sorrento. ď Ž Former Rye and Pines coach Steve Ryan is now in charge at St Bedes/Mentone. ď Ž Mt Eliza is likely to lose stars Rohan Heasley, Scott Lockwood and Bean Lean in the transition, while Dave Willett has signed at Chelsea as assistant coach. ď Ž Edithvale has lost Matt Clark, Brad Tagg and Pat Poore to Foster to play with Nick Connellan and Brent Bowden, Brett Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hanlon has gone to play in the bush and Tim Mavric and Jordy Derbyshire have gone to Hampton Park.

Benson farewelled Ian Benson, who has been involved in local football for more than 40 years and has served as an administrator for more than 25 years, was made redundant by AFL SE last week.

Benson, who has had a significant impact on the competition in the past three decades, did not fit into the new-look structure of the competition.

The transition from Peninsula Alliance to AFL SE has seen all former administrators, Jeff Jones, Ian Benson and Sue Jones all moved on.

All league directors, who were charged with the responsibility to provide strategic direction and manage financial governance of the competition, were also voted out by clubs earlier this year.

At the end of the current financial year, the MPNFL recorded a loss of $150,000, which eliminated all cash reserves.

Fortunately, the clubs were able to hang-on to their only asset, the MPNFL headquarters at Somerville.
