Power cuts after the storm TOWNS across the Mornington Peninsula were on Monday still recovering from last Thursday night’s storm. While trees were relatively quickly removed from roads, allowing access to almost all areas, restoring power was not so easily achieved. Red Hill properties were particularly affected as many depend on electric pumps for water, while businesses “lost tonnes of prepared food, now melting in freezers and cool rooms”. “After more than three months of lockdowns, local businesses had geared up for a massive long weekend of trade and functions, but due to storm damage, most have been closed since 7am Friday,” Karen Golding, of Red Hill Brewery in Shoreham Road, Red Hill South, said. “It’s actually a disaster zone around here, and businesses are shocked and traumatised.” No go: Motorists were being turned back as emergency crews spent Friday clearing roads across the Mornington Peninsula.

housing …” “Here on the Mornington Peninsula we are currently failing our community on this basic human right,” she said. “We have heard stories about pensioners sleeping in their cars, domestic violence victim survivors having to stay with their abusers, long-time families having to leave their communities because of a lack of affordable rentals, and businesses operating below capacity because of a lack of workers – this is pervasive across the peninsula.” Cr Race said women were disproportionately affected by homelessness. “The causes are many and varied,

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has declared a housing crisis to force the state and federal governments to provide more and cheaper accommodation for those in need. The list of people falling into the needy category outlined by Cr Sarah Race included those fleeing domestic violence, long-term renters, hospitality and tourism staff and rough sleepers on the foreshore. Cr Race successfully pushed for the

declaration at council’s Thursday 28 October meeting saying similar housing problems also existed in Colac-Otway Shire, Surf Coast Shire and Byron Shire in NSW. “Housing across the peninsula is our number one crisis, from Balnarring to Portsea, Hastings to Mornington, we have a multifaceted crisis that has only been exacerbated by COVID-19.” Cr Race cited the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights which declares: “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and wellbeing of himself and of his family, including food, clothing,

but if we are to have vibrant communities then we need to ensure we have a mix of housing to cater for all demographics,” she said. “Housing security correlates to health and emotional wellbeing, employment prospects and economic opportunity. “It wasn’t until I became a councillor and had the opportunity to meet so many people in our community that I began to see the housing crisis unfold.” Cr Race said house prices in some areas of the peninsula had risen more than 30 per cent in the past year. She was calling on the federal gov-

ernment to help and not the state government because “it is an Australiawide issue”. “In Byron Shire 20 per cent of their housing stock are now Airbnb with terrible ramifications for that region,” she said. The Colac-Otway and Surf Coast shires have already declared housing crises, particularly in relation to key and essential worker accommodation. Working with other coastal councils could have “collective impact at the negotiating table”. Cr Race said declaring a housing crisis was a “call to arms for our shire”. Continued Page 8

The Sybils want to knock out gas

Picture: Gary Sissons Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ONCE free of lockdown and allowed out to gather as a group, the Sybil Disobedients wasted no time in arranging a performance to emphasise their belief that Australia needs a “properly articulated” plan to cope with the “climate crisis”. Dressed in their signature hooped dresses, hats and signs, the troupe walked slowly along a section of The Pines beach at Shoreham last Tuesday morning (26 October) before assembling in front of a sign in the sand marked Code Red - Climate Crisis. More specifically, the Sybils were calling for an end to gas exploration in Bass Strait. “We are forced to do this as we just feel that there is no acknowledgment by our government

about the global issue, our part in it and, most importantly, the urgency to do something meaningful now,” Jamie Edgerton said. The Sybil Disobedients are members of Extinction Rebellion Westernport, and say they represent “thousands of ordinary people living on the Mornington Peninsula and regional Victoria who feel their voices are not being heard”. “We want our federal government to state that we are in a climate emergency. Rather than squabbling about party policy, we want our federal government to commit to doing something meaningful about the climate crisis,” Mr Edgerton said. “By allowing new gas exploration leases in Bass Strait, our federal government and [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt are escalating the climate crisis,” Mr Edgerton said.

“Life is hanging by a thread; we need to address the climate crisis now.” He said the federal government was only listening to the powerful gas and oil lobby, rather than acting on the findings in the recent [United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report that says we must move away from any new gas, oil and coal extraction”. “We must end our addiction to fossil fuels and support clean, green renewable energy.” “We are running out of time to make the right decisions about acting on the climate crisis. We need to join our global partners and commit to stop fuelling the climate crisis by not exploring for new gas in Bass Strait and processing it in Hastings,” he said.v“There are so many opportunities with renewable energy for all but doing nothing now will risk everything.”

Towns ‘moved’ from Nepean to Hastings VOTERS in four Mornington Peninsula towns have been moved from one state electoral district to another. The Electoral Boundaries Commission last week released a map showing that Merricks Beach, Balnarring, Balnarring Breach and Somers from the next state election will be included in the Hastings district, now held by Liberal MP Neale Burgess. The four towns are now in Nepean, held my Labor’s Chris Brayne. Cranbourne South, Devon Meadows Pearcedale, Canons Creek and Warneet in the northern section of the Hastings district have been moved into Bass. Boundaries for the seat of Mornington held by Liberal David Morris are unchanged. With the next election due in November next year, voting patterns from the previous state election give Labor a small winning margin in Hastings and Nepean (“Labor ‘wins’ with boundary changes” The News 5/7/21). However, the changes have clipped the winning margins in Hastings and Nepean, with Mr Burgess losing his lead altogether and Mr Brayne seeing his reduced from 0.9 per cent to 0.6 per cent. Mr Morris won the last election by 5 per cent. “Redivisions are a key part of Victoria’s electoral system, as they ensure fair representation and an equal voice for all voters in state elections,” electoral commissioner Warwick Gately said. “The EBC released proposed boundaries on Wednesday 30 June 2021 and invited public comment. After considering the written suggestions and objections and holding two public hearings, the EBC has amended the proposed boundaries in 38 areas, transferring 127,425 electors to different electoral districts.” The EBC’s report and an interactive map of the new state electoral boundaries are at ebc.vic. gov.au

IN what is described as a “challenging and rewarding year” Mornington Peninsula Shire saw its annual income increase by 3.5 per cent to $264.4 million. Information contained in the 2020-21 annual report released last week shows the shire had a surplus of $7.6 million – up $2.2 million on the previous year. Most of the increase came from rates, waste services and capital grants. “While income from user fees decreased by $3.7 million as some services were restricted or closed due to lockdowns, total income for the year increased by 3.5 per cent to $264.4 million and $50.8 million was spent on 250 capital works projects,” CEO John Baker said. He said “challenges and highlights” of the year included the Caring for our Community which distributed 3186 care packages to the isolated and needy; offering relief and recovery grants of $238,000 to help individuals, notfor-profit organisations, community groups and business associations support the community through COVID-19, and the Business Support Roadmap, such as the outdoor dining and trading program and expanding the Support Local campaign. “We hosted a business round table to take stock of what had been done and

how the shire could further support the recovery of local businesses over the next 12 months,” Mr Baker said. “We worked with our community to create a shared vision of the future. More than 3000 people shared their ideas. This will guide council’s policies and priorities over the next four years.” Highlights of the year are listed as the opening of the $50 million Yawa Aquatic Centre in June – the shire’s biggest ever infrastructure project; securing money to redevelop Flinders Civic Hall; upgrading the Hastings boat ramp; restoring McCrae lighthouse; and Southern Peninsula Integrated Youth Services Hub. “We worked side by side with community organisations to mount a successful advocacy campaign against AGL’s proposed floating gas plant and pipeline at Crib Point,” Mr Baker said. “The state government boosted funding in response to our Better Buses campaign. We advocated strongly for more frequent buses, more direct bus routes and an expansion of our network and many of those changes will now take place.” Mr Baker said the past 12 months had been “incredibly busy and challenging but ultimately rewarding because we’ve learned so much”. He said the COVID-19 pandemic “has been something of a stress test for the organisation as a whole”. “Repeated lockdowns mean we’ve

Dove and Lyre

learned to be nimble when it comes to service delivery. We had to find ways to safely deliver essential services, support our community and continue our ambitious infrastructure program. “In the midst of all this activity, we undertook a review of many of our key services and significantly transformed our organisational structure. We spent many months designing a structure that is more flexible, customer-focused and financially sustainable.” The mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said the “extraordinary year, which began and ended with lockdowns, saw the election of a new council, including nine first-time councillors. “Our most urgent priority was and remains supporting our community and local businesses through the pandemic,” she said. “We embarked on our most ambitious community engagement project ever – to create a shared vision for the future of the peninsula – distilled by an independent citizens panel [which] will guide development of our policies and priorities. “We were one of the first municipalities in Australia to declare a climate emergency and we adopted our climate emergency response plan, Ensuring Our Future. This plan provides a 10-year roadmap to guide the peninsula towards zero emissions by 2040.”

Tensions rise over loss of power Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RED Hill and Sorrento copped the brunt of the severe storm described by United Energy as the “largest weather event to hit our network” which lashed the Mornington Peninsula last week. Spokesperson Jordan Oliver said the company was working to get power back to 210,000 customers, including many on the peninsula. “We still have around 7300 customers without electricity and our teams are still responding to more than 2300 jobs,” he said on Monday. He said linesmen had been “working around the clock to restore power” since the storm struck, Friday 29 October. “We know how frustrating this is for our customers to be without power for such a lengthy period and want to assure them we are doing everything we can to get power back on,” Mr Oliver said. He said there were more than five times the number of normal fault crews responding to the outages. “We are now facing some of the most challenging and complex work to get power back on to the remaining customers,” Mr Oliver said. Customers would be contacted when “estimated restoration times” were able to be given. “We do expect to get many of those customers back on today and tomorrow, but we are advising that some customers will remain off supply until late this week.

The loss of power at Red Hill and other peninsula towns meant the loss of water supply as they have no mains water, gas or sewerage. Karen Golding, of Red Hill Brewery in Red Hill South, said powerlines were“on the ground around the whole area”. “No one can get through to United Energy or other services to help as nearly all phone and internet services are via mobile phone towers. They lost power on Saturday, back-up batteries ran out, and most people have virtually no phone or internet,” she said. “Telstra obviously hasn’t connected

generators to towers and businesses have lost tons of prepared food, now melting in freezers and cool rooms. There are no timelines about restoration … no signs of work.” Ms Golding said Red Hill CFA members were clearing fallen branches and handing out free water. “It is actually a disaster zone around here, and businesses are shocked and traumatised,” she said. “People can’t charge phones nor make phone calls.” “No one has been informed and there seems to be no action.” Pictures: Yanni

With Stephen Taylor

Shot fired in attempted robbery ARMED Crime Squad detectives are investigating an attempted armed robbery and shooting in Tootgarook last week. A man has told police that he heard noises coming from the front of his Kareela Drive property and went outside to investigate, 4am, Tuesday 26 October. He was confronted by a man who demanded the keys to his car. The victim refused and raced back inside just before a shot was fired at the front of the house. Broken glass struck the victim, who was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The offender fled on foot. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Burglary charges POLICE who intercepted a silver VW van at Tootgarook last week had no idea it contained $20,000 in goods allegedly stolen from holiday homes at the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula. Detectives called to the scene quickly arrested a 42-year-old Frankston South woman and a 49-year-old Capel Sound man, 5.40am, Thursday 21 October. Detective Acting Sergeant Steve Reidy, of Somerville CIU, said the alleged burglaries had been committed from July to October. The woman was charged with burglary, handling stolen goods, possessing the proceeds of crime, theft, committing an indictable offence while on bail, and breaching bail conditions. She was remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 12 November. Her accomplice was charged with handling stolen goods and possessing the proceeds of crime. He was bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrates’ Court in March.

Eye from the sky A DRONE found on the beach at Sorrento was handed to police at Rosebud on Sunday 24 October. The owner can call property officer Tony Paterson at Rosebud police on 5986 0444 during business hours.

Old salt paints from the heart Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A RED Hill South artist’s work reflects his love of the sea. Ron Farnill, 94, has been painting ships and maritime scenes for decades with his works regularly on show and being sold – such as at Oak Hill Gallery where last year he sold six paintings on the opening day of his exhibition. He also won the 2018 Oak Hill Gallery members’ exhibition and conducts watercolour painting classes and demonstrations there. One of Farnill’s works was shortlisted at this year’s Mission to Seafarers’ Maritime Art Exhibition. The winner of the virtual exhibition is yet to be announced. Mr Farnill started painting as a child and won his first award in 1938. “Then the war came, and I was in the Navy, but I was able to start painting again at night school at Frankston TAFE in 1972,” he said. He was accompanied by his late wife Betty. It wasn’t all smooth sailing. “The diploma classes were into tracing scenes but I like to slap paint about and not just make copies of something,” he said. “I especially like to paint sea scenes.” After the Navy, Farnill took up sailing on Western Port as well as ocean racing and was often engaged as a delivery skipper “taking yachts to rich people”. “It was not very profitable, but something I really liked to do,” he said, re-

he said. “I’m still waiting for the big one.” Farnill, who has lived on the same small property at Red Hill South since the 1950s, said it was “very nice to be able to wander about outside” during

the pandemic. “I feel sorry for the people cooped up in the city.” Farnill is considering staging an exhibition to celebrate his 95th birthday in January.

FLEXIBLE safety barriers have been installed along Moorooduc Highway between Heatherhill and Sumner roads, Frankston. Barriers are already in place along high-risk sections of the highway, with these new barriers on the centre median and roadside with the aim of reducing the risk of run-off-road and head-on crashes. Eight crashes, with four described as serious, occurred along this stretch of road from July 2015 to June 2020.

NEWS DESK Changing backers, odds ALLEGIANCES and alliances appear to be changing along with the odds on who will be the next mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire. The shire’s 11 councillors will vote for their next leader on Tuesday 16 November. Last week’s favourite 2:1 combination of Cr Anthony Marsh for mayor with Cr Lisa Dixon as deputy has firmed to 1:1 (“Favourites pushed aside in race to the front” The News 26/10/21). Since last week, the duo of Cr Sarah Race (mayor) and Cr Dixon (deputy) has slipped from 4:1 to 6:1. Next on the list is Cr Marsh (mayor) and Cr Race (deputy) at 10:1, followed further down the field by current mayor Cr Despi O’Connor being reappointed with Cr Dixon as deputy, 20:1. Out of the running - or given a 100:1 chance at most by participants in the betting being run by shire officers - are earlier fancied contenders Crs Paul Mercurio, Antonella Celi and Susan Bissinger. Keith Platt

Housing crisis Continued from Page 1 Cr David Gill successfully moved that Cr Race’s motion included asking the state government for housing assistance, rather than just the federal government. He said the council “could be accused of bias if it did not include the state government”. “There’s no crisis accommodation on the peninsula because the state government has refused to provide it,” he said. Crs Anthony Marsh and Susan Bissinger opposed the housing crisis motion: Cr Marsh on a matter of procedure and Cr Bissinger saying it was a “springboard” for Cr Race to “go after Airbnbs” and have the industry more heavily regulated. “This will threaten our livelihoods,” she said. “We can’t start dictating housing affordability if it threatens our tourism. “We do have to advocate for the homeless, but declaring a crisis gives people a platform to bounce all kinds of weird things off and totally desensitises people to the word.”

Shire’s ‘damaged’ reputation By Hugh Fraser* DYSFUNCTIONAL silliness at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council continues with the startling admission by the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor that she deliberately kept from five councillors the amendments she wished to effect to council’s proposed meeting procedure Governance Rules and the advice and guidance she had sought and received from shire CEO John Baker and the head of governance and democratic support Amanda Sapolu. Further concealing her initiative from five councillors, the mayor privately asked deputy mayor Cr Sarah Race to introduce the proposed amendments to the public council meeting. This Cr Race did one hour into debate at the council meeting on 24 August (“No-support councillors left out of email loop” The News 26/10/21). The critical amendment sought to be effected by the mayor provided that the CEO may reject a councillor’s proposed notice of motion that relates to the day-to-day management of the council by the CEO. A notice of motion by a councillor is an effective procedural tool to bring community and councillor concerns to a meeting of council and extracting accountability from the CEO and council officers. The effect of this proposed amendment, adopted on a majority 6-5 vote, is to make the CEO arbiter of what he, not council, decides are the matters for which the CEO shall be accountable to council and the community. It was a substantial amendment enhancing the power of the office of CEO to the detriment of council powers and the community. Cr O’Connor’s strident denial - “I stand on my integrity because there is nothing that I have done wrong. I haven’t broken any governance rules. Not one” - has put in issue these Govern-

Over 50?

ance Rules, her integrity, her position as mayor and impartial chairperson, the duty of the CEO and shire officers in the procedures Cr O’Connor initiated with the CEO. So, what are these Governance Rules? First, there is the primary legal requirement that each councillor comply with the council procedures required for good governance, s.28 Local Government Act 2020. Then there is the Governance (meetings procedure) Rule 12 which requires the mayor to be mindful of her “position as an impartial chairperson of a council meeting”. Most importantly for present purposes, rule 10 provides that any advice or guidance provided by an officer – which includes the CEO - to a councillor regarding a suggested motion “shall be provided to all other councillors by the officer at or about the time it is so provided”. This rule is supported by rule 11 which provides that any amendment which differs from the wording in an officer recommendation which is on the agenda “should be circulated by the proposer in writing to all councillors in advance of the commencement of the meeting where possible”. As mayor and “impartial” chairperson of the 24 August meeting which considered the proposed amendment, I believe Cr O’Connor had a legal duty to ensure compliance with these council procedures required for good governance. Further, I see the CEO as having an express legal responsibility to ensure that council receives timely and reliable advice about its obligations under the Local Government Act 2020. An amendment which diminishes a council’s responsibility to extract accountability from the CEO and management, would most certainly be “outside the powers of council” (rules 13 and 20). At every step I believe these council proce-

dures for good governance seriously failed. It was a substantial proposed amendment and ought to have been advertised for community comment. All, not just some, of the councillors ought to have been informed of the proposed amendment, the involvement of the CEO, officers and their advice or guidance. The mayor ought to have declared her partisan involvement and vacated the chair at the council meeting. I think the CEO John Baker ought to have informed all councillors that as the office of CEO took the benefit of the proposed amendment and diminished council’s ability to extract accountability from the CEO and management, council ought not proceed further without independent external legal advice. The amending rule appears to have been the product of a dysfunctional procedure, inherently unlawful, and council, if properly advised, ought never to have considered it and certainly not resolved to adopt it. The reputation of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has been damaged by this failed procedure. There have been community calls for resignations. When introducing the new Local Government Act 2020, the then local government minister told parliament: “The Act will strengthen the minister’s powers to deal with individual councillors who are contributing to or causing serious governance failures at a council.” *Hugh Fraser is a barrister, Legal Service Board member 2007-2010, and former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor (2012-2020).

Take me to court, dog owner tells shire Art show 50th Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MOUNT Eliza woman says she will go to court rather than pay a $363 dog-at-large fine because Mornington Peninsula Shire Council will not show her any evidence of her dog being outside. Mannie Hughes said she has repeatedly requested proof of the alleged breach which occurred 5.55pm, 30 May, but the shire was “stubbornly digging in its heels”, telling her to pay the fine or await a court hearing. “I feel this is a total abuse of council power and waste of court time [and] money,” Ms Hughes said. “If the council issues an infringement then the person receiving the infringement should have a right to view the evidence without having to go to court and incur additional costs. “We don’t believe that our dog, Ellie, was at large at the stated time, and all we are asking is to view the evidence to determine if this is a legitimate offence.” Ms Hughes reiterated in a letter to the council: “I will not be paying this infringement [because] it was absolutely not my dog, as my dog is always inside with me or outside on a lead or under my supervision; the council did not pick up my dog; the council [could] not obtain my dog’s microchip number from a dog they didn’t pick up; the ranger did not see the registration tag on my dog.” She said the only information was a complaint by a neighbour. “No complaints have ever been made by any other neighbours having witnessed my dog off lead,” she said. Mr Hughes said she had contacted council administration several times. “Each time they refuse our request for evidence or to view the photo. They either state that there are privacy issues - although if you go to court, you will have access to evidence in the brief - or they say that

releasing evidence is not council policy.” An email from the shire’s customer service team sent 23 September states: “As mentioned in your appeal response dated 11 August 2021, the shire will not provide you with evidence relating to the offence at this stage, if you wish for the matter to be referred to the Magistrates Court, council may decide to issue a summons and prosecute you for the alleged offence. Should you receive a summons, a full brief of evidence will be available to you. “Please confirm if you wish to have this matter referred to court.” Ms Hughes, who said 5.55pm on that late May day was 17 minutes after last light, said a ranger had told her husband they had a “blurry photo of a dog that could be a border collie”. “VicRoads allows drivers to view photographic evidence of speeding or traffic light offences, yet supposedly the only evidence here is a blurry

photo taken by a concerned neighbour, at night. Ms Hughes said in a letter to the shire: “You have never seen my dog, you didn’t capture my dog, you have not sighted the tag or microchip number, so how do you know this is my dog?” While standing firm on the fine, the shire’s community safety and compliance manager Shannon Maynard late last week admitted his department’s response to Ms Hughes’ request for evidence “could have been better”. “I am satisfied with the investigation carried out by our officers, and that the dog in question was accurately identified,” he said. “While the review decision was correct, our response to the request for evidence could have been better and we are looking to improve our responses to issues such as this. “Council officers will contact the resident to talk them through the evidence council has gathered.”

IN January 2022 Mornington Rotary Club is set to celebrate its 50th annual art exhibition. Despite COVID restrictions organisers are confident the show will go ahead “in a very similar format to previous years”. Money raised from this 50th anniversary art show will go towards several Mornington Rotary Club projects including the Bay Trail being developed by Mornington Peninsula Shire and other Rotary clubs; completing a shelter over the Rotary long table in Mornington Park; and helping provide accommodation for homeless families. Mornington Rotary, with the shire, has recently installed a women’s bathroom in the Fusion building at Mount Martha. Since 1972, Mornington Rotary has exhibited local and interstate artworks for viewing and sale. More than $1.1 million has raised from the 50 years of art shows with over 65 per cent being spent on projects in the Mornington area. Organiser John Renowden said the art show had become a “much anticipated annual calendar event for the Mornington community and its summer visitors”. “The show displays the widest range of best quality art work on the peninsula and it is proudly claimed that the Mornington Art Show is the peninsula’s biggest and best art show,” he said. The 2022, Mornington Art Show will again be held at the corner of Wilson’s Road and Nepean Highway, but in a different building. “The new Mornington Community House, incorporating the large studio, was completed this year at a cost of more than $4vmillion,” art show chair Richard Vautier said. “It offers a similar amount of hanging space to the community theatre, where we held last year’s most successful art show.” Rotary’s art show will be the first major community event in the new building. The opening night will be Thursday 20 January, and the art show will run to Australia Day, Wednesday 26 January. Works will also be able to be seen and bought online from 23-30 January.

THE MAN PUTIN COULDN’T KILL

SBS, 9.30pm

Attempted murder is no laughing matter, but this fascinating documentary bounces with tongue-incheek humour. In 2020, it seemed like a plot ripped from a Hollywood movie was playing out when Vladimir Putin’s most eloquent critic, Russian anti-corruption activist and opposition leader Alexei Navalny (pictured) was poisoned with a nerve agent midair on a ﬂight. Miraculously, he survived to tell the tale. This tale of international espionage has to be seen to be believed.

Blooms are popping up everywhere and the warmer weather has given an extra spring in people’s steps; it’s about this time of year that everyone decides they are a gardener again. Who wouldn’t when the sun is smiling? Tonight, the crew have a treasure chest of gardening ideas and tips. Costa explores the best native spring ﬂowers to suit almost any garden, and Sophie (pictured) plants containers with species that attract native bees.

TOTAL CONTROL

ABC TV, 8.40pm

It’s no surprise this Aussie political drama has returned for a second series. It featured an unforgettable performance by veteran support act Deborah Mailman (pictured above, Offspring) in her first lead role, as well as an excellent Rachel Griffiths. The biting script and blistering examination of morality told the story of a smalltown woman changing the face of the Australian political landscape, and her journey is far from over. In tonight’s first instalment of its six-episode return, Alex Irving (Mailman) faces the reality of her alliance with ruthless opposition leader Laurie Martin (William McInnes).

Despite the much-publicised exit of former director Edgar Wright, Ant-Man still managed to exceed expectations under his replacement Peyton Reed (Bring It On). Armed with the ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must use his inner hero to help Dr Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. The pair must also pull oﬀ a dangerous heist to – of course – save the world. Led by a charming performance from Rudd, this Marvel thriller is lots of familyfriendly fun. Paul Rudd plays the hero in AntMan.

No need to rush major planning changes The C219morn planning amendment incorporates the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s housing settlement and neighbourhood character strategies and proposes changes to the existing residential zones and planning controls [including building height, design, siting, landscaping, fences] which ensure housing occurs in appropriate locations and respects the peninsula’s special values and character (“Different aspects to planning rethink” The News 19/10/21). C219 also proposes to improve the operational efficiency and simplify existing planning controls to make them easier to understand and reduce the need for planning permits, particularly for one house on a lot. This means more applications will be processed by registered building surveyors, without needing a planning permit. There will be no requirement for landscape plans; no advertising; no community input; no yellow signs; no call-in opportunities; no appeals to VCAT. The proposal removes important DDO controls, which will negatively impact the neighbourhood characters on the peninsula. The proposal effectively privatises the shire’s roles of responsibility and accountability for planning. The C219 amendment is complex and lacks transparency. When residents search for their property, the summary generally states there are minimal changes affecting their property. This has given many a false sense of security. To examine any property fully, one must click on the dozens of current and proposed documents. It is imperative that residents can see what C219 looks like on the ground. It is the biggest change to planning on the peninsula since the amalgamations in 1996. If this C219 amendment goes ahead, the peninsula will look like Torquay in less than five years. Recommendations to approve, amend, reject C219 is the responsibility of our 11 councillors, and hinges on their understandings of C219. What is the rush to implement this? The councillors and the community need time to fully understand the C219 planning amendment to ensure that it is right for the protection of the peninsula. Dr Ursula de Jong, president Nepean Conservation Group

Dangerous course The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is on a dangerous course. Excluding almost half of the councillors to debate an amendment gives rise to improper governance (“Majority rules on changes before vote” The News 24/10/21. There is also a competition, of sorts, about who will be mayor for a year (“Favourites nudged in race to front” The News 26/10/21). Mayor voting in Victoria amazes me. It wastes time as the councillors are more intent on competition and losing valuable time to fight it out for the position of mayor. Where do the ratepayers stand? On shaky ground, so it would seem. In Queensland, the residents vote for their councillors and mayor, usually for three years. Much simpler to monitor and fairer because the ratepayers decide. That is democracy. Also, there is no need for “punters” to be involved. I despair of such odds. Prestigious finish? Give me strength. Anne Kruger, Rye

Bloody disgrace This would never have happened prior to amalgamation of local government and the town clerk would have seen to that (“No- Support councillors left out of loop” The News 26/10/21). What was the CEO [John Baker] doing to allow this to transpire? The mayor [Cr Despi O’Connor] should be ashamed of her action, it is nothing short of a bloody disgrace. Ian Lyons, Safety Beach.

Biased council The rise of a caucused vote of a majority vote of six councillors at the 24 August Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting by deliberately excluding five other councillors from prior knowledge of a significant proposed amendment to council’s procedure rules, increasingly looks

like bias contaminating council meetings (“‘Nosupport’ councillors left out of email loop” The News 26/10/21). That shire senior management knew of the proposed amendment and did not tell the five excluded councillors about the proposed amendment is doubly troubling. This undermines public confidence in the independence of council’s public servants. Peter T Curtin, Mornington

Disenfranchaised As five of our 11 [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors were excluded from any prior consultation about changes to council operating procedures, it is logical to state that 45 per cent of ratepayers have been disenfranchised from council decision making (“‘No-support’ councillors left out of email loop” The News 26/10/21). In a democratic society this is intolerable and leads one to wonder what ploy the six councillors “in the know” will pull next? Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Independent way to go I picked up your newspaper this morning to read over breakfast. I was stunned by the attacks on Simon Holmes a Court for his support of independent candidates across Australia for the coming federal election (“Hunt the ‘best ever’” Letters 19/10/21). As I understand it there are numerous organisations supporting independents, none of who got a mention in this hit piece. My memories of [Flinders MP Greg] Hunt are watching him high five Joe Hockey and Tony Abbott when, as environment minister, he buried the carbon price which has now been taken up around the world. The “best ever” health minister told Australia that he had ordered a million doses of Pfizer vaccine and, when the CEO of Pfizer publicly stated that he never got a phone call or an order from Mr Hunt, he shrugged and said it was not his recollection. The decades-long denial of global warming and inaction have contributed to the dire state we are in now. 84 per cent of Australians want real action on climate. Do Mr Hunt and his support team fall into that overwhelming majority or are they part of the ever-shrinking minority? Mr Holmes a Court is active in the climate space and for that I thank him. We need more like him, and we should not just praise him but amplify his voice and those who are concerned about this enormous problem. I live in hope. Bob Weis, Generation Films, Fitzroy

Big business rules Why do I feel so frustrated with the federal government’s failure to act on climate change? Why is our prime minister [Scott Morrison] relying on carbon capture and storage (which is expensive in dollars and energy, and likely to be unsuccessful) and on technology that doesn’t exist yet and may never exist? The answer is clear after watching Big Deal, episode 2, on ABC TV recently. The government doesn’t want to bite the hand that feeds it. The fossil fuel industry (coal and gas) makes huge donations to the major political parties, especially the Liberal Party. Donations to political parties are making our democracy a farce. The system of political donations needs to be abolished. The government pays political candidates to run their campaigns. Donations just corrupt the process. What is at stake is not just the survival of a particular political party or a particular industry. What is at stake is our continued existence as a human race. This imperative seems to be lost on our leaders. It is not just the annual carbon emissions that is the problem. It is the accumulation of all emissions in the atmosphere over many years. The concentration now exceeds 500 parts per million (ppm). The pre-industrial level was about 280 ppm. (Alan Pears, Renew, Issue 156, p 93). The higher the concentration of these gases, the more that heat is re-radiated back to earth, instead of escaping to space. The earth is becoming a hot house with soar-

ing temperatures, wild fluctuations in weather due to changing winds, and the consequent fires, floods and landslides, not to mention the melting ice and rising sea levels. Our earth is becoming uninhabitable, slowly but surely, and all our leaders do is rearrange deck chairs. It defies belief. Janet Turnbull, Mornington

Climate trick Some of the previous letters on this page, presumably written by rusted on LNP voters, pose the “logic” that Simon Holmes a Court is a radical left winger because he is trying to get something done on climate change and because he is a billionaire (“Hunt the ‘best ever’” Letters 19/10/21). From the United Nations: “Current world commitments add up to a less than one per cent reduction by 2030 compared to 2010 levels. To keep global warming below 1.5 degrees C, emissions have to be cut by at least 45 per cent by 2030.” Current world commitments to cut global carbon emissions will fall 60 per cent short of their 2050 net zero target, the International Energy Agency has said. The 2015 Paris agreement required nations to step up their short-term national ambition every five years. The LNP has done nothing. Australia’s pathetic claim to be meeting and beating targets because of an old land clearing accounting trick is fooling no one except LNP supporters and any others who seem unable to critically examine the evidence. Why would anyone imagine that doing next to nothing (and the LNP is proposing next to nothing) would actually provide a real benefit? Sure, there might be a short term benefit to a few, but to have a resulting uninhabitable Australia, seems like complete stupidity to me. Those LNP voters who think [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt is the best health minister ever - he is the minister who ordered insufficient PPE early on and who could not be bothered to meet Pfizer last year to get us vaccines four months earlier. He is the minister who has not ordered any tests so that the more than 500,000 immunocompromised Australians can see if they have actually made any or sufficient antibodies to the vaccine. Susan Czermak, Mornington

Pressure needed Hopefully those people in the Red Hill and Main Ridge areas and further afield in difficult circumstances because of loss of power due to storm damage are being given priority by the state government and Nepean MP, Chris Brayne, in the restoration of power. There is a need to direct United Energy because these large areas of the Mornington Peninsula have no water reticulation and often require electrical water pumps from their underground and header tanks to provide water for toilets, showering and washing. It was very dangerous over the weekend, even driving on those roads, because of numerous powerlines down and trees and large branches sometime held up only by sagging powerlines. Thank you to the volunteers from the SES and Country Fire Authority for the incredible work that they are undertaking. David Gill, councillor Red Hill Ward

Trust green policies The RE Ross Trust is currently claiming to care deeply for the environment, presumably on the basis of its philanthropic donations to many worthy environmental groups. In fact, the trust is currently seeking applications for grants and is specifically targeting potential recipients located on the Mornington Peninsula. A quick examination of the trust’s annual reports reveals that this largesse towards green groups coincided perfectly with the time that an application was made directly to the Minister for Planning [Richard Wynne] to develop a new extractive industry site on Arthur’s Seat. Prior to this, funding had been provided overwhelmingly to educational and community groups. Since the application was made to Mr Wynne, millions of dollars have been directed to environmental projects. I believe that all of these projects clearly deserve funding in their own right. Perhaps I am being overly cynical, but I also believe that this is an attempt at blatant greenwashing by the Ross Trust in an effort to improve its green credentials as part of the EES

process. It would appear that the green wedge and biolink of the Mornington Peninsula hinterland are to be destroyed by the trust, ironically in order to fund environmental restoration and research projects elsewhere. It is difficult to believe in or to be impressed by the trust’s concept of environmental stewardship. In fact, it leaves a lot to be desired. Romy Lipszyc, Main Ridge

Lessons from polio During the 1950s polio epidemic which left dozens of kids who survived permanently crippled, the hastily researched Salk vaccine was administered to all children who lined up at schools everywhere for their jab without question. With no social media spreading misinformation the disease was virtually eradicated. It must be said however that politicians having had a greater fear of public backlash for any bad decisions than they seem to have today, earned a greater respect from a more ethical society. With anti-vaxxers demanding what they see as their civil liberties, the way things stand now, no disease will ever be wiped out again. If the Premier Daniel Andrews did not blatantly embrace the communist dictator Xe Jinping, then he might have a bit more credibility in his mandatory jab and unpredictable lockdown policies. Austin Sadler, Mornington

Climate summit scam Our Prime Minister Scott Morrison is to attend the COP26 climate conference and is expected to succumb to the demands of the United Nations and our sensationalist daily media and agree to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, mostly by not burning coal, or even digging it. Will he make them aware that China has 1083 coal fired electricity generators, India 281, and a thousand or two elsewhere? We have 24. China has ramped up its coal mine production because of industrial necessity and to provide you with most of the things that you use or wear, and to increase its wealth. China also imports and burns nearly one million tonnes of coal a day. Just by the way, there are over 400 nuclear power plants in the world generating electricity, including 50 in China, 22 in India; more coming, but absolutely none in Australia. Maybe some in our submarines by 2050. Scotty is ex-marketing and he must know a giant scam when he sees it. I expect him to protect Australia’s interests and, yes, just sign up, knowing he can break any contract, like he did with the French submarines. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Costly parking Saturday car parking in central Melbourne is now cheaper than in Frankston. Frankston traders trying to recover from six brutal lockdowns must be looking enviously at their Melbourne counterparts and wondering why it is cheaper for shoppers to park all day in Bourke Street than at Bayside. The City of Melbourne has introduced the discount, in conjunction with dozens of parking facilities run by private operators, from last Friday until Christmas Day – to bring people back to the CBD. It will cost motorists just $5 a day on weekends and after 4pm weekdays. Frankston’s main multi-storey parking centre costs $15 every day (except on Sundays). Absurdly, Bayside’s owner, Vicinity Centres, charges shoppers to park at Frankston but not at Vicinity’s premium Chadstone centre, which is free. Bayside’s nearby rival, the newly expanded and renovated Karingal Hub, offers 2750 free car parks, including 650 new spaces added this year. This is a great alternative for locals who want to “buy local” to support Frankston businesses. Lord Mayor Sally Capp’s Melbourne CBD parking discount shows what an influence parking affordability, and good public transport, can have on where people choose to shop, work and play. Let’s get real, Frankston Council, the state government and Vicinity – if you want to revitalise central Frankston, face the facts, be honest and admit we have a problem: it’s high parking charges that drive people away.

OBITUARY

Harry Cole – family, nurseries and community OBITUARY

Harry Rowland Cole 28 January 1927 – 23 September 2021 By Peter McCullough HARRY Cole, a highly-respected descendant of a pioneering Western Port family, passed away on 23 September. He was 94. Harry was the much-loved husband of Valda for 68 years and dearly loved and caring father of Peter (deceased), David & Andrew and daughters-in-law Sylvie & Celia. He was the adored ‘Pa’ of James, Alison, Sarah, Richard, Nicholas, Thomas & Hilary and their wives, husbands and partners, as well as great grandfather of Abigail, Charlie & François. Because of existing restrictions the funeral service, held at Tobin Brothers Mt. Martha on 29 September, was limited to family members. Tributes were given by sons Andrew and David, grandson James, and wife Valda. This obituary is based on their comments. *** Harry Rowland Cole was born at the Somerville Hospital on 28 January 1927, the youngest of five children born to Lewis (Lew) and Elma Cole. His siblings were Lewis (then 12), Merle (7), Alice (5) and Joyce (deceased). Lew was a greatgrandson of Guy Cole whose various sons had prominent nurseries in Melbourne in the 1840’s and which, in due course, extended to outer regions including Tyabb. Harry’s grandfather, George Graham Cole, who established the Fernbank Nurseries at Tyabb in 1884, also served as President of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings in 1910. Furthermore, Harry’s maternal great-grandfather, James Wood Clarke, featured in the early settlement of Somerville and, together with Alfred Jones and James Grant*, purchased land in 1863 for the building of a church which also served as a school and community centre in Lower Somerville. Harry grew up with a love of boats and always cherished his memories of trips on Western Port Bay with his father. Holidays on Phillip Island were a family tradition which has continued. He attended Tyabb Railway Primary School where he developed a great interest in native flora and fauna. Away from school he enjoyed fishing, rabbiting…and tree climbing! Harry was a wizard at model making and carpentry, winning first prize at the Royal Melbourne Show for a cabinet he made as a student. Following primary school Harry

attended Frankston High School where he joined the Air Training Corps. Travel to Frankston was on articulated semi-trailers; these had been designed for the influx of American service personnel who required transport from the Frankston Railway Station to the Mt. Martha camp for their well-earned R&R. On leaving school Harry worked in the family nurseries for a brief period before joining the Services. Harry’s father, Lew, had spent seven months on the Gallipoli Peninsula during World War I and the rest of the war in desert campaigns, including Beersheba. He was mentioned in despatches and held the rank of captain when the war finished. Two of Lew’s brothers (Geoffrey Laurence Cole and Harry Theodore Cole) also served, with the latter losing his life in France in August 1918. A few months after the outbreak of World War II Lew Cole was back in uniform: Captain L.G.Cole served as Railway Transport Officer at Seymour where he supervised the movement of troops across the southern region. Harry’s brother, Lewis Stanley Cole, enlisted soon after his father only to have the misfortune to be captured with the fall of Singapore and spend three years enduring the horrors of Changi

and the Burma railway. Harry’s sister Merle joined the AWAS and younger sister Alice embarked on a nursing career. With the absence of his father and siblings, Harry helped his mother to ‘keep the home fires burning’; that is, except when his propensity towards tree climbing got the better of him and he finished up on crutches. On his 18th birthday Harry enlisted. In March 1945 he formally joined the RAAF and commenced Air Crew Training. However, following VE Day, that scheme was cancelled and in August 1945 Harry was transferred to the RAN Reserve. Until his discharge on 26 May 1947 Able Seaman Cole was engaged in dumping old and unstable ammunition and explosives in Bass Strait and off the east coast. This was dangerous work and Harry’s time was spent on the armament supply carrier HMAS Woomera which later blew up off Sydney Heads with some loss of life. Back in Civvy Street, Harry reentered the nursery industry and, as a member of the Nurserymen and Seedsmen’s Association of Victoria, he produced large numbers of deciduous fruit trees for prominent orchardists throughout Victoria. Harry also retained his interest in flying,

gaining his pilot’s licence and flying out of Essendon and Moorabbin as a member of the Royal Victorian Flying Club. Just down the road in the Hastings direction was another family of pioneering orchardists: the Grants. In 1931 the two Cole sisters attended the 4th birthday of Valda Grant and apologized for the absence of Harry who had a cold. Valda stood quietly by, wondering who this Harry was. She was soon to find out as Valda Grant and Harry Cole both attended Tyabb Railway Primary School and Frankston High School but, with the outbreak of war, they went down different paths. About the time of Harry’s discharge from the navy Valda returned home after six years in Melbourne, taking up a position as personal secretary to the Commodore Superintendent of Naval Training at Flinders Naval Depot. Love blossomed and the couple were married in Malvern on 8 April 1953. Harry and Valda built their family home ‘Karawatha’ on 50 acres and welcomed the arrival of Peter (1954), David (1955), and Andrew (1960). Next door was the old family home, ‘Fernbank’, occupied by Harry’s mother and sister Alice. Around the two homes a very happy atmosphere prevailed, even in the 1970’s when ‘Karawatha’ rang with ‘The Sound of Music’, amplified by the young sons to be heard a mile away! Harry’s taste in music ranged from classical to The Beatles; he also welcomed anyone who was up for a hand of euchre. Harry was very much in his element while working in the nursery. Although it was back-breaking work, the whole process of striking cuttings, cracking kernels, growing root stock as well as budding and grafting the desired fruit tree variety required a great deal of dexterity and Harry was up for the task. Then, with the advent of the European Common Market, Australia and its orchard industry lost overseas preferences. Due to the effect this had on the nursery industry, Harry diversified into the newly established chicken meat industry, supplying birds to Golden Poultry located in Somerville. By the 1970’s he was growing 70,000 birds four times a year. Again, this was hard work with feeding, constant cleaning, checking of air temperature, conditions and ventilation, general animal husbandry as well as the unpleasant task of picking up dead chickens. Despite the hardships and long hours chicken pick-up time was invariably 1 a.m. – Harry never complained

as he realised that his hard work was enabling him to provide for his much-loved family. Harry would have emphatically endorsed the old adage ‘A bit of hard work never hurt anyone’. This sentiment was endorsed by David in his tribute when he spoke of the time when he was a newly-graduated architect and working long hours; too long in the opinion of his mother. Valda’s gentle reprimand of her son appeared to be falling on deaf ears and she turned to her husband for support: “You speak to him, Harry.” Harry enquired as to the time that he was starting work each morning and received the reply “5 a.m.” “Hmm”, said Harry, “for someone your age that’s a reasonable time to start.” While the poultry industry was time consuming, the propagation of fruit trees and connection to general farming of the broad acre land was always there and kept Harry grounded. He never did things by halves: if Valda enquired about some vegetables a whole paddock would be planted in pumpkins or a vast array of irrigated and trellised tomatoes would appear. Away from the poultry sheds and the paddocks, Harry pursued his interest in local history and was a member of the Hastings-Western Port Historical Society, the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and the Anglican Historical Society. He supported Valda in her historical research and activities and his local knowledge was often helpful. In 1997 the couple co-authored ‘Mr. Bass’s Western Port’; Harry was able to apply his knowledge of seamanship, charts and nautical navigation in order to interpret the original logs of George Bass on his voyage from Sydney to Western Port in 1797-98. Harry’s interest in carpentry and craft were often quite evident. On display at the museum of the Hastings-Western Port Historical Society is an old Armstrong 40 pound breach loading gun which was once used by the Victorian Rangers based in Hastings in the late 1890’s. Harry was instrumental in its location and restoration which included fabricating, from the original plans, wooden models of the key missing operative elements of the breach and firing mechanism that enabled these to be cast, machined, and the gun fully restored. On a grander scale, in their tributes David and Andrew recalled the building of the beach shack at Phillip Island and ‘the boat.’ The latter was described by Andrew as ‘more like an ice breaker’ but provided great

enjoyment for family members when fishing in Western Port Bay. Harry served a lengthy period on the vestry at All Saints, Tyabb and as a lay reader in the Parish of Hastings where he was a representative on the Melbourne Diocesan Synod and the Parish’s Honorary Secretary for several decades. Another involvement was as radio communicator for the Fire Brigade with the corner of one room at ‘Karawatha’ set aside for a radio link

with the Moorooduc Fire Station. Earlier, Harry had been an active participant in the formation of the Tyabb Rural Fire Brigade. Harry left the poultry industry in 1984 and, in ‘retirement’, he was able to spend more time on gardening and on the propagation of native, fruit and ornamental trees. A section of the farm was sold and Harry and Valda moved to South Frankston where they enjoyed a number of years of suburban living. Then, in

1992, they moved to a one acre property in Seaview Road, Tyabb, where Valda’s parents (Ray and Ruby Grant) had lived in retirement, and from where Harry could look across the waters of Western Port Bay, watch the planes landing and taking off from Tyabb airstrip, and continue gardening. Harry’s hard work provided certain rewards for in retirement he and Valda travelled extensively overseas as well as around Australia in their

campervan. Earlier, their sons attended the Peninsula School in Mt. Eliza. On graduating from university they pursued careers in education, architecture and civil engineering. In 2014 the couple moved to St. John’s Village in Somerville, to become part of a caring community and where Harry continued to pursue local activities. Although his health began to fail in his 90’s, Harry appreciated the fact that he was still living in his local area where

he could be visited by family and friends. Harry Rowland Cole was a cheerful and thoughtful man with a wide range of activities who will be greatly missed by his family and friends. *James Grant was the great grandfather of Harry’s wife, Valda.

Finally, relief from your hip pain DOES this describe YOU? • You get hip pain laying on your side in bed, and just can’t get to sleep. • You place a pillow between your legs to help you get to sleep but laying on the painful side is still waking you. • You find yourself standing on one leg with your other hip hanging lower, or you sitting with crossed legs causes the pain • You are a runner worried your hip pain will get worse and stop you from exercising. If so then read on. The pain on the outside of the hip can be due to inflammation of the gluteal tendon, of Gluteus Medius and Minimus, where the gluteal muscles attach. It can also be where a bursa (a fat pad called the trochanteric bursa) can become inflamed. The hip pain may be associated with a stiff back. Physiotherapist Mark Charalambous, says that it is an injury affected by hip weakness and postural habits that place the tendons under stress. It requires a full analysis of the hip and lower limb, looking from the foot to the back biomechanics. It can require massage, and specific strengthening exercises for the gluteal muscles as well as improving core stability to control pelvic movement. In addition to the above solutions, there is a recent healing technology that is making a profound difference to outside of the hip pain sufferers. Practice owner, Paul Rowson says

Physiotherapist, Mark Charalambous “Shockwave Therapy is often useful, because the gluteal tendons are a connective tissue, not a muscle. It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to. It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area. Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon.” Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, golfer’s and tennis elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems,

and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries. Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients. Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance. But for more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results. “The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a success rate up to 90%” Mark says. The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period

to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation” Mark says, “like most physio hands-on treatments, with a little discomfort during the treatment.” Paul says, “After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain. The best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It prevents a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections. The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and cannot

be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders. “ “It is important to know that Shockwave has a long-term effect. Most of the time you have good outcomes, without having to have further treatments.” Shockwave is now available in Balnarring.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Sadness at death of returned soldier Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE death occurred on Sunday night last, at St. Vincent’s Hospital, of Mr Frederick Benson, who had been a resident of this district for several years. The cause of death was an abscess on the brain. Deceased was 29 years of age, and was a fine, robust specimen of Australian manhood. He was ill for less than a week, and the news of his demise came as a painful surprise to his many friends throughout the Peninsula, where he was held in the highest esteem. The late Mr Benson married the daughter of Mrs Reynolds, of Frankston, and very deep sympathy is felt for the young widow and her infant son. The funeral, which took place at Frankston on Tuesday, was very largely attended. Many Returned Soldiers’ were in attendance, deceased having been a member of the A.I.F., with a very fine war record. The Rev. A. P. McFarlane conducted the service at the graveside, the “Last Post” being sounded by Trumpeter Willie Lewis, of Frankston. Our Special Correspondent of Somerville writes: “Much surprise and regret has been expressed here at the sadden and untimely death of Mr Frederick Benson, who until recently was, with his family, a resident here. He was very well known and highly respected throughout the district, and much sympathy is felt for his wife and children.” ***

IN THE

Frankston Police Court Frederick William Barnes, of Mascot Avenue, Carrum, the owner of a property in Point Nepean Road, on which a shop was being erected, proceeded against J. T. Carrol, the adjoining owner for an order that a new dividing fence be erected. Mr. A. L. Williams, who appeared for Mr. Barnes, stated the present fence was old and was partly wire and partly ti-tree. The position was a residential one, and good fences were necessary, and should be ordered. After hearing the evidence the Police Magistrate said the existing fence was not sufficient, and proper fencing should be put up. An order was made that defendant erect half of the fence with 5ft. 6in. palings, except that red gum posts be substituted for jarrah. *** A PARTY of Cheltenham residents who recently visited Phillip Island to take part in wedding festivities, had an exciting experience. They had motored from Cheltenham to Stony Point, and then crossed to Cowes in the S. S. Genista. The return journey to Hastings was made by motor boat, but the trip across Westernport Bay was very rough, waves breaking right over the boat, almost all being drenched. It was a tired, but never the less, happy party that landed at Hastings after an eventful passage. *** THE statement made by one of city weeklies to the effect that a live mine had been lost in Port Phillip Bay has

been ridiculed by the Naval Department, who aver that the lost mine was a “dud,” and, therefore quite harmless to shipping. It was alleged in the Press that whilst towing a barge loaded with live mines, destined for Westernport, one of the mines was lost overboard, and that the loss was not discovered until the Pioneer had steamed into Crib Point. The mine was discovered seven days later. *** WHILST motor cycling in the vicinity of Dandenong on Saturday last, Mr Harold Grimwade, son of BrigadierGeneral Grimwade, of Frankston, met with a serious accident, but, although his injuries are very serious, his recovery is expected. General Grimwade was at Frankston at the time of the accident, but he immediately motored to Dandenong. *** THE Langwarrin Recreation Reserve Committee, through its enthusiastic Vice President, Mr T.

*** IN the Methodist Church at Langwarrin, in the presence of a large congregation last Sunday afternoon Rev. C. Angwin dedicated to the glory of God, for the preaching of His gospel, and in memory of two late residents, Mr and Mrs Corlett, saw a very handsome polished Blackwood pulpit, the gift of the members of the Corlett family in recognition of their indebtedness to their parents, and an outward manifestation of the affection with which in their hearts they cherish their memory. *** FRANKSTON residents intend giving a welcome home to Capt Bruce, M.P., who returns to Australia next week. Attention is directed to the advt. in today’s issue calling a meeting to arrange the function. *** THE Licensing Court has approved of the transfer of the licence of the Tanti Hotel, Mornington, from Mrs Adelia Hunt to Mr Samuel Trusler. *** MR Harry Golds, of Messrs Harrison and Golds, the local wood merchants, who has been suffering from a poisoned hand for several weeks past, has now recovered sufficiently to resume his business occupation. *** AT the Cheltenham Court on Oct 19 Clarence Cornish, of East Malvern, was fined £3 for throwing an empty beer bottle from the Frankston train on August 27th. One of the Justices wanted to make the fine £5 or £10, but the majority thought £3 would meet the case.

*** IN today’s issue, Mr Herbert Downward advertises the programme of the race meeting to be held at Mornington on Thursday, Nov 10th. As the proceeds of the meeting go to the Somerville Soldiers’ Memorial Hall, it is to be hoped that the attendance will be exceptionally large. The Shire Secretary (Mr John E. Jones) advises that a public holiday has been duly proclaimed throughout the Shire of Frankston and Hastings for Thursday, November 10th, the day fixed for the above race meeting. *** GENERAL regret has been expressed at the impending departure of Tyabb’s station-master, Mr Len Morrow, who has been transferred to Middle Footscray. During their stay here, Mr and Mrs Morrow have made themselves very popular, and “Len” will be much missed in football and cricket circles. *** REV. A. P. McFarlane wrote to the Seaford Progress Association complaining of the untidy condition in which the hall was left their meetings. Members were very indignant at the charge made, and stated that there was no foundation for such an assertion. They expressed the opinion that although the church did not receive a handsome rental from the P.A., the association had held two working “bees,” and saved the building from collapse. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 28 October 1921

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Middle Age of Reason By Stuart McCullough ONCE more, the dance begins. It’s the one that occurs annually between my brother and I when our birthdays roll around. You see there’s just under a year between us which means that, for a short time, we’re the same age. It’s been that way since we were kids and I see no prospect of it changing any time soon. So it is that my brother has now, once more, caught up to me. The meaning, however, of this temporary state of equilibrium has changed over time. Suffice to say, it used to be an opportunity for my brother to claim that he was no longer my younger brother. Now, however, the tables, chairs and possibly the curtains have turned. This overlap now definitely works to my advantage. I can still hear him – a broad grin wrapped around his face telling me that I was no longer ‘the boss’ of him. Upon hearing this, I was always somewhat conflicted. Firstly, I was unaware that I had been ‘the boss’ of my younger brother. Had I known, it’s fair to say I would have taken full advantage of the awesome power and responsibility it brings. Secondly, there was the small matter of mathematics. Foolishly, I would try to explain that I was still older by several hundred days and that this would never change. He was immune to my attempts to reason. In retrospect, that was part of the fun – he knew that refusing to concede would drive me crazy. Which it duly did. But things are different now. Whereas once, being the same age was seen

by my brother as something to celebrate, middle age has seen a recalibration of sorts. The intersection of our Venn diagram is now seen by my brother as something to fear. Rather than have him lord it over me, it is now I who lords it over him. Somewhat callously, I now repeat to him the same thing he used to say to me –

‘we’re the same age’. Somewhat gratuitously, I have then added the word ‘sucker’. Denial is not only a river in Egypt but a powerful force that lurks in all of us. My brother has been insisting that he is still ‘mid-forties’ even though he’s much closer to fifty. It’s obviously a point of some sensitivity. As an older

brother (for all but four days a year), it is my duty to exploit this mercilessly. I do this using a variety of techniques. Each year, I make a calendar full of family photos. On my brother’s birthday, there’s a picture of him, under which I posted the caption ‘late forties’. It sat on the wall at my father’s house all year. Only last week, I sent him a picture of it. As soon as lockdown was lifted, he was straight over there with a big, black texta, crossing out ‘late’ and scrawling ‘mid’ over the top. It was an act that reeked of desperation and texta (so aromatic!). Earlier this week, I sent him a gift. I included an inscription that simply said ‘happy fiftieth birthday’. It is, so I will claim, a matter of rounding up. He later sent a photo of himself holding the card, pointing towards the message with a look of consternation on his face. The message accompanying it declared with the force of multiple exclamation points, ‘mid forties!!!!’ But if it’s my brother’s birthday, it means that very soon I have a birthday of my own to contend with. Sadly, for me, there’s no way I can use the term ‘mid-forties’ and keep a straight, albeit slightly creased, face. It’s a big one, and there’s no getting around it. ‘Fifty’ sounds so gargantuan, but it is what it is. To prepare, I did some research. When I was younger, ‘research’ was something you did at a library. Now it’s something you ‘Google’. The results were both perplexing and concerning. I typed in ‘fifty is the new…’ hoping to get a much younger virtual age

for myself. The first thing that came up was a question: ‘is fifty the new thirty?’ Excitedly, I clicked on the link expecting to be showered with life affirming declarations of positivity only to find a single word – ‘no’. The search also coughed up other helpful titles such as ‘how to survive turning fifty’ which makes it sound too much like a near-run thing. There were variations on the theme including ‘fifty is the new forty’ and, perhaps with my brother in mind, ‘fifty is the new midforties’. I’ve never much been a fan of my birthday. I have, however, been lucky to have a brother whose birthday was right next to mine, meaning that I never really had to go through all the fuss on my own. Fifty, it seems, is the new fifty. It means that all those people I went to school with are reaching the same point. It’s impossible not to think of all those mullets and perms and to wonder what became of their owners. It seems like both forever ago and only yesterday. Tonight, I’ll see my brother. He’ll use the term ‘mid-forties’ more often than can be considered reasonable in the circumstances. It will be a joyous occasion all the same. Not least for the fact that we can see each other in person. And even if my brother is currently growing a beard that screams ‘Santa-in-training’, when he uses the term ‘mid-forties’ I won’t say a thing. Other than, of course, ‘happy birthday Cameron.’ stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Crowds finally cheering on course again HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou FAMILY, friends and avid racegoers flocked to Mornington racecourse for the first time in 18 months with over 2,000 people attending Sunday’s Peninsula Cup meeting.

Anthony and Sam Freedman’s first starter Unflinching and Pat Carey’s Starlight Scope provided another couple of winners for the local trainers who generally rise to the fore at their home track. Mornington Racing Club general manager Ashley Robertson was thrilled to finally have people back on track.

“Obviously over the last 18 months all we’ve wanted to do is get our members back on course as well as owners and the general public at large,” Robertson said. “The challenge has been just doing it with the COVID protocols and Racing Victoria protocols that we need to abide by. “I’ve been getting around and talking to people and they’re very thankful to the club to be able to be back on course and are just really enjoying

being here. The weather held up unbelievably aswell – 20 degrees and light winds is just perfect for racing.” Heading into Mornington’s summer program where the club has six race meetings from December through to January, Robertson said he is hoping to see even further restrictions eased with the meetings being largely restriction free. Mornington’s next meeting will be run on Thursday 18 November.
