Digging deep for the community CRIB Point community groups have benefitted from the generosity of workers at three petroleum and mining engineering, pipe laying and gas exploration companies at Western Port. The groups, Crib Point CFA, Crib Point Junior football/Netball Club, Crib Point Community House and Crib Point Maritime Museum, received about $4500 each raised through raffles and matched dollar-for-dollar by corporate partners PAME Engineering, Subsea 7 and Cooper Energy. “We wanted to do something for the community,” PAME Engineering’s safety manager John Saxby said. The company fabricated 67 kilometres of gas pipeline for Subsea 7 and Cooper Energy. About 55 workers started work on the 1.5 kilometre long pipe stalks in early April and finished in September. Crib Point Community House coordinator Mary Budd said her share of the donations would help provide free activities in upcoming programs.

Hydrogen plant to get all clear Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A PILOT plant at Hastings to turn hydrogen gas into liquid before being shipped to Japan is scheduled to be operating by 2020. The state government has effectively bypassed Mornington Peninsula Shire by signalling its intention to amend the planning scheme to allow the hydrogen plant to proceed. In April the state Labor government

and the federal Liberal National coalition each gave $50 million towards the $496 million project to produce hydrogen from brown coal in the Latrobe Valley (“Parties unite over power” The News 17/4/18). The gas to liquid plant will be built on “highly-suitable land” owned by BlueScope at Hastings, according to Hydrogen Engineering Australia (HEA), a consortium comprising Kawasaki Heavy Industries, J-POWER, Iwatani Corporation, Marubeni Corpo-

ration, and Australian energy provider, AGL. AGL is currently locked in a bitter dispute with Western Port residents opposed to its plans for a floating gas terminal at Crib Point and a gas pipeline to Pakenham. The consortium behind the hydrogen fuel plant says extracting hydrogen for fuel from brown coal “is an exciting opportunity for Victoria and Japan to partner for mutual benefit and to work towards creating an environmentally

sustainable solution which will put Australia on the frontline of the changing face of clean energy provision here and around the world”. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bryan Payne last week said news of the government’s takeover of planning powers for the hydrogen project “sadly reflects on the state of planning in Victoria and raises issues of where public health and safety responsibility fits with government at both the federal and state level”.

“A condition of any permit which is raced through like this because government is in caretaker mode, should carry an iron clad guarantee from the state and federal government that the community will be fully supported financially if any social or health matters arise from this project,” he said. Although the gas would be trucked to Hastings for the pilot plant, a pipeline around Wester Port was planned if a permanent project proved viable. Continued Page 10

Shire changes track on Hastings line Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has changed tack and virtually ruled out backing Baxter as the end of the electrified train line from Frankston. Shire councillors last week signalled they want an electrified rail line to Hastings, ruling out their earlier support for Baxter to be first in a two-stage electrification process. In the lead up to the Saturday 24 November state election, councillors have called on “all political parties … to commit to extending electrification of the Frankston railway line to Hastings in the current Baxter electrification business case”. In doing so, councillors have also withdrawn their support for a two-stage development that would see an electrified line go to Baxter first and then Hastings. However, the politicians are unlikely to back the shire as the cost of electrifying the line to Baxter has been put at $450 million while $3 billion may be needed to take it to Hastings. “The idea for a staged extension, starting with Baxter, leaves the possibility of waiting decades for the electric line to get to Hastings,” Cr David Gill said yesterday (Monday 5 November). “Council has now decided on a major campaign to push for the electrified rail line to go to Hastings. “Hastings is the logical place to end the electrified line because it has plenty of available industrial and residential land. “There is much more at stake than Frankston’s

need for parking and further development opportunities by moving its problems down the track. “Baxter, in the green wedge, is not the site for large scale infrastructure development.” The shire’s about face coincides with Planning Minister Richard Wynne’s announcement that a re-elected Labor government would “better protect Melbourne’s green wedges from overdevelopment”. Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said Labor will “do the planning work to connect 1881 hectares of parks and reserves … [between the] EdithvaleSeaford wetlands, Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve, Studio Park, Dame Elisabeth Arboretum, Cruden Farm, Langwarrin Flora and Fauna, Baxter Park, Sages Cottages, Moorooduc Quarry and Devilbend Natural Features Reserve”. The shire was upset earlier this year when it was left out of talks to make Baxter the end of the line, even though the town is part of the peninsula municipality. Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bryan Payne told The News on Monday that Baxter should not be the site for a one kilometre long overnight train stabling area. He said the business case study for electrifying the line from Frankston to Baxter “should go all the way to Hastings”. A recommendation adopted by shire councillors at the Monday 29 October planning services committee meeting says the business case by the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) “would best be served by extension of the electrified rail line to Hastings”.

Breakfast backs cancer research OCTOBER was Breast Cancer Awareness Month with many events fundraising for research. One was the 7th Annual Pink Ribbon Breakfast at Flinders Golf Club, Tuesday 30 October, which was attended by 110 people and supported by Flinders District Lions. The morning raised $10,300 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, which is the only national body that sponsors breast cancer research through money raised from the public. Guest speaker Dr Normand Pouliot heads the Matrix Microenvironment and Metastasis

Laboratory at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute. His laboratory focuses on the regulation of breast cancer metastasis, with a strong emphasis on the spread of breast cancer to the brain – a NBCF-funded project. “The audience were eager to learn and understand all of this and gave generously to the event,” host Monica Holland said. “Many businesses around Flinders and the region supported the event with wonderful prizes for raffles and silent auction items.”

Helping close peninsula’s housing gap MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s representative on the Triple A Housing Committee Cr Simon Brooks said that of the 2000 requests for homelessness services on the peninsula last year 895 were classed as “high priority”. Cr Brooks sourced the statistics from the June Victorian Housing Register, the centralised social housing waiting list for the Bayside/ Peninsula region. “The council has an important role to play in facilitating social housing and will actively work to develop strategies to address gaps in the housing market,” he said. The information is relevant as the council reviews its three housing policies, with the community invited to provide feedback on “how [the shire] can do more to close the housing gap”. The shire’s Draft Triple A Housing Plan, Draft Social and Affordable Housing Policy, 2018 and Draft Rooming House Policy, 2018, are on public exhibition until Friday 14 December. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the aim was to develop strategies to address gaps in the housing market. “The policies will also assist council to advocate for and facilitate sustainable housing options for the community,” he said. “They would address issues of homelessness and housing stress having regard to related matters of people’s health, social isolation, poverty, food insecurity and sense of community security. “We want community feedback to update these housing policies to ensure they continue to meet the needs of our community.” About 200 people attended Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Fair Deal Housing and Wellbeing Expo held at Rosebud Memorial Hall during Anti-Poverty Week and Gambling Harm Awareness Week recently. The expo highlighted worsening housing and homelessness issues on the peninsula in the lead up to the state and federal elections. Shire staff said the expo aimed to empower people to take action on housing issues and to offer wellbeing resources and referrals to those who are homeless or struggling to afford the costs of housing. The expo was seen as a worthwhile way of establishing new pathways to available services in a non-threatening environment for those who might otherwise lack knowledge of them or be reluctant to access them. About 30 organisations offering housing or other services attended to explain the services that are available, as well as shire officers. Other organisations, including Back in Black BBQ, CWA,

Rally to push for services ANTI-HOMELESSNESS campaigner Wayne Iremonger said he was hoping to stage a rally in Mornington later this month to push for better homelessness services on the peninsula. Mr Iremonger is one of up to 100 residents affected by the impending closure of the Capel Caravan Park in Eastbourne Road, which is expected to be redeveloped for retirement units (See Park residents worry over futures The News 12/6/2018). “Visualize the current VicRoads advertisement: Zero people killed on our roads, and ask yourself: ‘What is acceptable?’” he said. “Similarly, what is an acceptable figure for homelessness on the peninsula?” Mr Iremonger said he had asked a colleague who was organising a [homelessness] rally in the city to postpone it until after the state elections and to hold it outside the shire’s Queen Street, Mornington, offices. It would be attended by the homeless as well as assistance groups, churches, not-for-profits, and emergency food services outlets. The ABC had also been invited. “The intention is to highlight to state and local government that we do have a problem which needs urgent attention and which should be addressed as soon as humanly possible,” Mr Iremonger said. “Land for affordable housing must be released for the homeless and both local and state governments and agencies have a responsibility to make this happen. “Let’s work together to find and adopt a workable solution.” Mr Iremonger said affordable one-and-two-storey units approved by the state government were feasible options on land which had yet to be allocated.

Rosebud and District Men’s Shed and musicians from Mornington Secondary College, supported the event. The first submissions to the council’s Draft Triple A Housing Plan were lodged at the expo. See the plan on the shire’s website or take part in a workshop, 10.30am-12.30pm, Monday 26 November, at The Studio @PCT, 91 Wilsons Road, Mornington.

Asbestos work alarms Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FEATHERS were flying in Red Hill last week when neighbours discovered asbestos sheeting was being removed from a disused chicken shed near their properties. Monique Soames said she and her neighbours were outraged at not being warned by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, WorkSafe, or the EPA about the potentially hazardous works on Arthurs Seat Road and had “only come across it by pure chance”. The contractor carrying out the work says it is legal and being done in accordance with his licences and permits. WorkSafe confirmed it had been notified by the contractor but said work had been halted after complaints by nearby property owners. An inspection of the site would be made this week. Ms Soames said she had made repeated calls to the agencies to try to put a stop to the works on the 100-metre-long shed when she saw asbestos sheets lying alongside the former battery-hen shed and bagged ready to be removed. Her neighbours had made similar calls and were dismayed no one was prepared to “take ownership”. “It is only common sense that we should all have been told,” Ms Soames said. “The EPA and WorkSafe are investigating the demolition as it backs onto many properties and no one was aware it was happening at all. “The Red Hill market is on this

weekend and people are using the tennis courts which are only metres from [the] asbestos. “l am sure you will understand the community’s concerns due to a lack of information, pre-warning and surprise.” Licensed asbestos removalist David Hender said he was “lawfully engaged to perform asbestos removal/demolition works at the property and [had been] engaged by the property owner”. He said he became aware of “public concern in relation to works that are being performed on private property in

relation to the removal of dilapidated chicken sheds” and provided copies of relevant licenses and EPA permits to carry out the works. “We are a licensed demolisher and licensed B class asbestos removalist,” he said. “The works on this property fall under the B class removalist category. “Demolishing chicken sheds is not illegal [and] nor is asbestos removal.” Neighbours are not required to be notified unless their homes are within 10 metres of the demolition works. Mr Hender said all correspondence

relating to the work was being forwarded to his solicitor. The News is not suggesting Mr Hender is doing anything wrong and is acting in accordance with his licences and permits. WorkSafe’s Jeremy Venosta said the authority was investigating the job, which had been put on hold last week. The EPA’s Troy Kraska said that, as the report concerned removal of asbestos at a worksite, his department had referred it to WorkSafe and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for investigation.

A shire officer was onsite last week speaking with Ms Soames. He confirmed the works were being carried out by licensed asbestos removalists. “This is therefore a WorkSafe matter and council has no legislative power to intervene in the matter,” he said. “The contractor has done his required notification to WorkSafe and we have also passed Ms Soames detailed accounts of the onsite practices to WorkSafe, urging them to investigate. This is as much as we can do in this circumstance.” It is understood a building permit was not required for the removal of the asbestos – only for demolition of the shed structure. Mr Venosta said WorkSafe was planning to revisit the site this week. Red Hill Ward councillor David Gill said he could “understand why the neighbours were fearful”. “They didn’t know [the contractor] had permits and licences and we all know how dangerous asbestos is,” he said. “It was a windy day and it is asbestos.” Cr Gill said the council needed to play a role in informing neighbours in similar instances. “A lack of notification breeds suspicion and fear,” he said.

Fire veteran’s farewell

MOTORISTS in Mornington looked on last week as a vintage fire truck – with a coffin strapped on top – respectfully made its way from the Mornington Racecourse to the Mornington fire station in Nepean Highway. The bright red truck was part of the cortege which had farewelled veteran firefighter Murray

Swinton, who died on Thursday 11 October. He was given a guard of honour in full ceremonial uniform with medals at the service on Thursday 18 October. A wake was held at the racecourse afterwards. The 30-year veteran had served mainly at Mentone.

No government support for fencing at The Pillars

Bonfire Halloween fun

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE state government is still undecided about a temporary fence being built at The Pillars cliff jumping site despite a plea by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for its help in controlling summer hordes. Port Phillip regional director Kelly Crosthwaite said on Friday the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning was “currently reviewing the information provided by council [on] construction of a temporary fence and will continue to work closely with council to resolve this matter”. Her comment followed a public meeting at the shire’s Mornington office Thursday 1 November which discussed the council’s inability to properly manage parking issues, keep watercraft away, and prevent mainly young thrill-seekers from risking death or injury by jumping at the popular site. Along with the young people comes litter, faeces, parking woes, alcohol and de-vegetation of the site which has become a summer nightmare for nearby residents. The meeting, chaired by Cr Bev Colomb and attended by about 50 people, aimed to “let residents know what’s proposed and to get their views”. Speakers included Mornington MP David Morris, resident Gill Johns, and shire officers Jessica Wingad and Niall McDonagh. Also discussed was the council’s inability to stop water craft: the proposed exclusion zone must be approved by Parks Victoria and policed by Parks Victoria or the Water Police.

DROVES of people in crazy Halloween costumes turned out for the Rotary Club of Dromana’s Halloween and Bonfire festival in Boundary Road last week. They competed for the best costume award, and enjoyed competitions including apple bobbing, damper and marshmallow toasting, and played on the jumping castle, while enjoying lots of candy and hot food. The Diddy Reyes 59 Rockers band performed and members of the Dromana, Redhill and Mt Martha fire brigades attended, with donations going to the Rotary Club of Dromana. Dromana Fire Brigade’s Renee Fremlin said generous families also donated to the brigade. “This was wonderful as we are currently fundraising for a new fire truck and station upgrades,” she said.

Ms Crosthwaite said DELWP had been working with the council to develop a long-term plan for The Pillars. She said a plan had been finalised and adopted by council at its 11 September 2018 meeting. “The closure of the site with fencing was not supported by the community during the preparation of the long term management plan,” she said.

Hydrogen plan gets govt nod

from

Continued from Page 1 Cr Payne said the decision on the hydrogen plant was the “third major intervention on planning being removed from the public light of day safety net” by the state government on the peninsula. The other two issues involved changes to residential building heights “allowing three-storey McMansion style housing automatically for 25,000 homes” and setting up a panel to decide on an application by retail giant Kaufland to build a super store outside of the main retail areas of Mornington. Meanwhile, HEA last week issued a statement saying it was “pleased to confirm” it was expecting the state government to change the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme to allow the hydrogen processing plant at Hastings. The hydrogen gas, produced from brown coal in the Latrobe Valley, will go overseas while the CO2 released in the process is planned to be stored under the Gippsland Basin using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Pressurised tube trailers – one truck a month – will carry the gas to Hastings for the pilot project which is expected to last about one year. “While we still await formal gazettal of the amendment, HEA understands that the Minister for Planning [Richard Wynne] has contacted relevant key stakeholders to advise of an imminent approval to amend,” Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) spokesman Yoshino Yasushi said. “The HESC project sees reputable and highly experienced Japanese and Australian companies collaborating and co-investing in the development of a new and exciting energy technology.” Mr Yasushi said the hydrogen liquefaction, storage and loading plant at Hastings would have a “site footprint” of about 2.5 hectares. “The site is highly-suitable because it has existing jetty facilities and is accessible using existing road transport routes,” he said. No dredging of the bay would be required. Mr Yasushi said the pilot project will be built and operated under strict environmental regulations with “a number of detailed plans and reports must be approved to the satisfaction of [Mr Wynne}”.

Grant gets top marks from Blacks Camp BLACKS Camp Pre-School has been given a $200,000 grant to redesign and remake its outside play area. The original play and gym equipment was built and supported by Somerville Rotary Club and maintained with help from parents’ committees. The pre-school opened in November 1987 with 35 children in two groups. After several years of growth at Somerville, a third group was introduced in 1990. Enrolments reached 125 children in 1991 and the extended building opened in October 1993. “The pre-school continues to meet the needs of the community by providing kindergarten for three groups of four-year-old funded kindergarten, so the supply is still meeting the demand,” business manager Alison Carey said.

Kaufland can ‘co-exist’ with other shops Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A HUGE multi-national supermarket outside the existing commercial zone in Mornington would “destroy the prominent entry gateway to [Mornington]”. The warning comes from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council as it ramps up its criticism of the proposed Kaufland super store on the corner of Nepean Highway and Oakbank Road. The council has been sidelined by Planning Minister Richard Wynne who has appointed an advisory committee to assess the planning application. The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said having the proposed store on the edge of green wedge-zoned land would lead to “vacant shops down Main Street”. He said peninsula residents might eventually be given just 20 days to respond to the proposed 4000 square metre giant and its large car parking. The shire is being backed up by Mornington MP David Morris who said he had “no problem with any retailer coming to Mornington, but the community expects them to set up for business in one of the existing retail areas, and to comply with the same rules as our existing traders”. “Unfortunately, that’s not the case with this proposal,” he said.

“Kaufland are seeking to rezone cheaper industrial land on the edge of Mornington, away from the existing retail centres. While the land can be used for shops, the existing rules impose a maximum size of 1800 square metres. Press reports indicate the proposed store will be at least 17,000 square metres – almost 10 times the permitted size.” Controversially, Planning Minister Richard Wynne has removed the Kaufland bid from the normal local planning processes and is having it assessed by an appointed board: the Kaufland Stores in Victoria Advisory Committee, which is under his direction. Kaufland’s Didem Brennan said the process was “legitimate, transparent and accountable and encourages public engagement”. He said the store would not be a “mega mall or a massive liquor outlet” and that the panel process was “not about mass rezoning of industrial land”. “Our history shows we can co-exist with smaller retailers,” he said. The shire has taken out full page advertisements in The News to “keep [residents] informed of the matters relating to the ... supermarket to be assessed against the existing local planning scheme”.

Major concerns are the intrusion into the “setback of 90 metres and landscaping to reflect the environmental entry” with plans to turn the area into a 430-vehicle car park with less than 20 metres of landscaping. A 20-metre-high and 60-metre-long advertising sign on top of the building would “permanently dominate the ‘green’ gateway skyline of the entry into Mornington”. The council believes Kaufland would cause major traffic congestion on Oakbank Road and create a “rat run” through nearby streets, leading to more congestion on Bungower Road. Cr Payne said the state government had given no indication when it would put the application on show. “When it does, the community will have only 20 business days to respond,” he said. Mr Morris said the “sheer size” of the development in the Mornington Parkland Industrial Area would “put that pleasant, treed gateway to our town at risk”. He said Mr Wynne had “sidelined the council and effectively ruled out any serious local input, because he knows our councillors will stand up for our community”. “The same minister last week bypassed the council and approved a hydrogen liquefaction and loading termi-

nal at Hastings,” Mr Morris said. “The last time a minister intervened directly in local planning decisions was almost a decade ago when Justin Madden approved the Masters development … and what a white elephant that turned out to be.” Mr Morris said Mr Wynne should “abandon his hand-picked panel and allow Mornington Peninsula Shire to consider this application on its merits”. “Unfortunately, he won’t do that because he knows that these plans are a gross overdevelopment, on the wrong site, and that it simply doesn’t stack up.” Mr Brennan said Kaufland was making a “significant investment in Australia that will generate thousands of jobs and create opportunities for local businesses”. “An open and public process [was] now underway to consider the first six Victorian Kaufland stores, as well as our proposed Australian head office.” Mr Brennan said Kaufland was “committed to engaging with local communities and partners in an honest, transparent and fair way.” “Regardless of the prescribed planning process, Kaufland will continue to engage with local councils in whose communities we are seeking to invest.”

Kaufland store for Mornington Gateway Have your say The Victorian Minister for Planning the Hon Richard Wynne has removed the decision making power from your elected Councillors to an Advisory Committee of three people he has appointed. The state government will now consider an application for a major supermarket development on the gateway site to Mornington. This issues paper has been developed by the Council to assist members of the community to understand the potential impact of the proposed development and to have their say. Rules of making a submission applied by the government: Pro forma letters or petitions will be treated as a single submission and only the first person or sender will receive a reply.

What is a Kaufland Store? Kaufland’s “hypermarket” model is described as a cross between a supermarket and a Kmart, with supermarket staples and extras like bikes or car maintenance supplies.

The Size It is proposed to be more than 4,000 square metres which will include a number of smaller tenancies.

The Issues 1. The proposed location is on the border of the green wedge and will destroy the prominent entry gateway to Mornington which has a setback of 90 metres and landscaping to reflect the environmental entry.

Indicative image

2. The current plans envisage minimum landscaping and turning the 90 metre setback into a 430 vehicle car park with less than a twenty metre strip of landscaping. 3. A twenty-metre-high and sixty-metre-long advertising sign on top of the building will dominate the ‘green’ gateway skyline. 4. The establishment of such a major retail site on industrial land outside the Mornington Activity Centre could have a major impact on the retail economy within the Mornington Village and result in vacant shops down Main Street. 5. The proposal will cause major traffic congestion on Oakbank Road and create a “rat run” through the local streets causing more congestion on Bungower Road.

Labor names candidates WHILE the Liberal Party contenders for the three state electorates that make up the Mornington Peninsula are making promises on a weekly (if not daily) basis, the Labor Party has been slow to name its candidates. Faced with an uphill battle to win any one of the seats, Labor last week listed Ryan White as standing for Mornington, Simon Meyer, Hastings and Chris Brayne, Nepean. Mr Brayne announced his own candidature last month (“Labor’s late start in Nepean”, The News 1/10/18).

He is opposing Liberal Russell Joseph, who is trying to win the seat of his former boss, Martin Dixon, who has announced his retirement. Mr Joseph, Mr Dixon’s electorate officer since 2014, was one of five candidates who sought preselection for the seat held by the Liberals with a safe 16 per cent margin on a two party preferred basis. In Mornington, Labor’s Ryan White will try to defeat Liberal David Morris, who also has a seemingly safe hold on the seat with a 26 per cent two

party preferred basis. Hastings, held by Liberal Neale Burgess (16 per cent), is being contested for Labor by Simon Meyer. ALP Victoria did not respond by deadline when asked by The News for details of its three peninsula candidates. The party’s state website states: “Victorian Labor is fighting hard to end the Turnbull Morrison Liberal government and the damage it has caused in Victoria.” Keith Platt

Mental health offer

“Programs could include social events for young people or regular services in communities without a permanent headspace location.” All three candidates have also been promising, if re-elected and their party gains government, to improve sports grounds within their respective electorates. “Currently only serviced by portable buildings, the Emil Madsen soccer and netball facility in Mt Eliza is desperately in need of a fit-for-purpose sporting pavilion, access roads and paths to cater for the local sporting clubs,” Mr Morris said on Friday. “The $5.3 million project could fund an appropriate home base for clubs and provide female friendly facilities. “Only a Liberal government will provide our community sports clubs with the backing they need to get back in control and build the facilities they need to support local population growth.” Mr Morris said the centrepiece of “this record investment in suburban

and country sports” was a $89 million “grassroots sport fund”. Meanwhile, Mr Burgess teamed up with his federal counterpart, Dunkley MP Chris Crewther, in announcing a $6 million “commitment” to the “re-development” of Lloyd Park, Langwarrin. A joint news release stated “the project will see Lloyd Park re-developed for the benefit of local community groups including the Langwarrin football, netball, cricket and tennis clubs as well as the Langwarrin scouts”. “The funding boost will see the federal Liberal government provide $3 million, with an elected state Liberal government to match this contribution.” Lloyd park is within the Frankston municipality and Frankston Council has not made any commitment to the plan outlined by the politicians. Mr Crewther did not say if the federal government’s commitment was dependent on the LNP being reelected next year.

THE state Opposition says it will pay $1.4 million over four years for headspace to provide outreach services to 12 to 25 year olds in regional Victoria and Melbourne, including the Mornington Peninsula. “Young people on the peninsula will be able to access mental health support easier and closer to home under an elected Liberal Nationals government,” Hastings MP Neale Burgess said. The state election is on Saturday 24 November. Russell Joseph, Mr Burgess’s Liberal colleague who is standing for the seat of Nepean, said he had “been a strong supporter of the headspace model and the establishment of a satellite/outreach service in Rosebud from the Frankston centre”. Mr Burgess said the peninsula needed extra support “as it is critical that youth in our local community have access to more social events that keep them occupied, focused and engaged”.

Cruel end: This magpie chick was bludgeoned to death at Martha Cove. Picture: Supplied

Chick bludgeoned to death CRYSTAL Ocean wildlife volunteer Georgia Naylor was horrified to find a fledgling magpie stoned to death at Mt Martha Cove last week. The bird’s distressed parents remained nearby mourning the loss of their chick on the corner of The Cove and Fathom Street, Martha Cove. “I can’t believe a human being could have done this,” Ms Naylor said. “The chick had been repeatedly bludgeoned with a big rock.” To make matters worse her children were in the car and very upset at the disturbing sight. Ms Naylor said birds at that age were too young to fly or find food for themselves and relied on their parents to teach them.

“Magpies are devoted to their young and when they feel safe in a neighbourhood stay for generations,” she said. Now she fells the distressed parents may search for a new home. Ms Naylor reported the case to the RSPCA and Wildlife Australia and then returned wearing a vest and gloves to move the dead chick away from the road for its parents’ safety. “It was still covered in blood on its head and beak,” she said. “People need to show more respect to birds and animals; I’m beginning to lose respect for the human race.” Crystal Ocean wildlife Shelter’s Brenda Marmion said: “This is a horrific act of violence against a helpless chick.” Stephen Taylor

Let’s get creative: Margaret Thompson and Maryanne MacPhee teach art at U3A Mornington. Picture: Supplied

Exhibition shows art class results MORE than 200 paintings, drawings and sculptures, plus a roomful of beautiful craft pieces, helped attract a good-size crowd to U3A Mornington’s recent Art and Craft show. Held over two days at the Currawong Community Centre it showcased the creativity of local ‘third-age’ artists and craftspeople. “Our students rose to the challenge and presented us with spectacular works of art in all manner of mediums, reflecting each artist’s individual talent and style,” tutor Margaret Thompson said. More than a dozen art/craft classes run each year at U3A Mornington. Most are quickly filled

by members. A Drawing Wildlife in Pastels course has now been added. There is also a self-help group where keen students pursue their own art practices with support from fellow students. However, the demand for art tuition is such that U3A Mornington would like to hear from a local art or craft practitioner who’d like to volunteer as a new course tutor next year. Enrolments for next year’s classes open on 23 January. New members may join at that time, either on the website or at the Currawong Street campus of U3A Mornington. Details: U3AM office 5975 9773.

A ROSEBUD man has been charged with carjacking, conduct endangering serious injury, recklessly causing injury, theft, and driving offences over an alleged carjacking in Frankston, Friday 5 October. Frankston CIU said transit police nabbed the 20-year-old after authorised officers found him on a train without a ticket. It was then realised he was wanted over the Beach Street incident. The man was also charged the man with possession of a knife – a controlled weapon. He was remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Bashed at reserve A 60-year-old man has told Frankston police he was robbed by a pack of up to 10 people in Seaford on 27 October. The man told police the incident occurred at Seaford North Reserve at 9.50pm, when he was called out to by a member of the group, and was struck on the back of the head. The man said they stole his wallet which contained a small amount of cash. He reported the alleged incident to PSOs at Seaford Police Station.

Wonder women’s bayside fundraiser

Work starts on new shed

WONDER Woman Walk organiser Helen Powell said she was “amazed and overwhelmed” by the huge turn-out of supporters, Sunday 14 October. The 60 women taking part raised more than $13,000 for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation when they walked along the beach and foreshore from Safety Beach to Sorrento. Ms Powell was diagnosed with ovarian cancer five years ago after just two weeks of minor symptoms and is still being treated for the disease. “I could not believe that I could be diagnosed with such an advanced cancer without knowing,” Ms Powell said. “With little to no symptoms and no early detection most women are diagnosed when the cancer has already spread, making it very difficult to treat. “This is why it is the most lethal of the gynaecological cancers. To put it in perspective, only 40 per cent of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will survive more than five years compared to 90 per cent of those diagnosed with breast cancer. “We need an early detection test to increase survival rates and this requires funding that can be maintained.” Ms Powell and colleague Jennifer Dordevic came up with the Wonder Woman Walk concept three years ago with six friends taking part. Last year the number increased to 18 and this year 60 women joined in. The Wonder Woman Walkers smashed their $9000 target and, with more than $13,000 raised so far this year, donations are still coming in. “It was a beautiful day for the walk and the members of the public showed much interest and encouragement as the superheros walked past,” Ms Powell said. She was overwhelmed with the interest from friends, colleagues from Monash University, strangers and friendsof-friends, with many travelling from country Victoria and one from Sydney to join the walk. Others included Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation CEO Lucinda Nolan and colleague Tamika Webb. “Sisters, mums, daughters, colleagues all walked together; it was very moving,” she said. Kate Sicilliano, who could not do the walk, put on a picnic lunch which raised more money for the cause. “We would love more women to get involved and any business which would like to be involved, too,” Ms Powell said. Stephen Taylor

MEMBERS of the Mount Martha Men’s Shed watched last week as the first so0d was turned on the site of their new building. The members have been raising money for the past 18 months to build their new shed at the New Peninsula Community Centre, in Craigie Road, Mt Martha. They have outgrown their old building since starting the group three years ago. Money for the new shed has come from the state government, Mornington Peninsula Shire, New Peninsula Baptist Church, Mt Martha Community Bank branch of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and donations. The shed also expects to receive federal government money. “What started three years ago in a small shed here at the New Peninsula Community Centre has now grown to be a hub for a diverse group of men from the community to come together and share life,” Mount Martha Men’s Shed president Andrew Doncovio said. “The vision of the men’s shed movement is very much aligned with our church’s desire to provide support networks for those in need in our communities,” the church’s senior minister David Rietveld said. Flinders MP Greg Hunt MP said men’s shed’s “provide a safe, inclusive environment for Aussie males to come together to chat and put their years of skill to good use, as well as learn new ones”. The new shed is expecte4d to be completed by mid-2019.

STROLLING among the moonahs are, from left, Tracy Vickers, Fiona Urwin, Jeneane Dart and Fairlie Dunlop. While celebrating a refreshment stop along the Wonder Woman Walk are Annick Sweeny (supporter), Angela Wall, Lisa French, Vicki Ashton, Helen Powell and Anita Steele.

ON THE COVER

SPECTACULAR TOWNHOUSE STYLE FOR A LIFE BY THE BAY SHOWCASING a superior design with an emphasis on space, convenience and lifestyle, this executive home is simply breathtaking. Some of the highlights include multiple alfresco areas from which you can view the bay and city, there is an in-ground pool with cascading waterfall, and a huge garage with large parking bay provides secure off-street parking. The versatile floor plan caters well to dual-living accommodations with an incredible 623 square metres (67 square) of living space, where access to each floor can be reached via a hidden elevator. A wonderful sense of space and openness has been created by the inspired use of skylights, clerestory windows and varying ceiling heights. From the impressive entry foyer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with powder room and study - you move through to a comfortable living zone adjoining a kitchen and meals area, which in turn opens out to the magnificent terrace for sublime poolside entertaining. Three bedrooms all have built-in robes and share the fully tiled family bathroom. This whole area can create a self-contained apartment if desired. Upstairs is the superb lounge and family area that features a gas log fire and a built-in bar with wine fridge, and the good times can easily spill out to the front balcony where you can savour the bays views and sea breezes. The room is anchored by handsome red gum timber floors that create a nice contrast against the marble and Caesarstone bench tops found in the well-appointed kitchen, which showcases a premium finish with a range of Bosch stainless-steel appliances. The lavish master bedroom has its own private balcony and also comprises a large walk-in robe and the luxurious ensuite is finished with marble tiles. Taking the lift, or poolside stairs, back down to the lower level you come to the huge home cinema room and a third bathroom.

Safe for the Libs, but not good for residents Why do we on the Mornington Peninsula in the state electorate of Nepean keep voting Liberal? Are we just stupid? When we look across Port Phillip at Geelong we see politicians on both sides falling all over themselves, promising this and that to be elected but, when we see the reality of voting for one side of politics, making Nepean a safe Liberal seat, we get nothing. Year after year nothing is done to upgrade our major roads, Peninsula Link stops at Jetty Road, Rosebud and has done since the 1980s, and I don’t think Martin Dixon, our retiring Liberal MP, has done anything to continue it onto Melbourne Road in Rye, distributing the traffic from Dromana to Sorrento. Point Nepean Road is another lost cause. It is the same dilapidated road that my father drove in the 1950s when he brought us down for the Christmas holidays, except for improvement at Rosebud and other shopping centres along this two-lane country road. Voting for a Liberal member has got Nepean residents nothing except a golden handshake for the Liberal member in retirement, and you could say the same thing with [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt, our federal member. Oh, he his good at cutting ribbons for small things, but major roads is not one of them. Think before you cast your vote this time for state and federal governments, think of what these politician have done for us in Nepean, as transport is not one of them. As we get older and our car licenses are taken from us, there are no trains, the bus service is a joke and taxis are too costly, a mobility scooter won’t get you far. We on the real Mornington Peninsula, from Dromana to Sorrento, have been left for dead in this safe Liberal electorate. Anthony Misell, Capel Sound

Refugee statistics Christine Fry needs to update her knowledge on refugee intake (“Refugees have a choice” Letters 30/10/18). When you look at refugees resettled through UNHCR, Australia lists fourth in 2015 with 9000 resettled refugees. Last year, 27,626 resettled refugees arrived in Australia, with the increase being due to the one-off commitment of 12,000 places for Syrian and Iraqi refugees and delays in the processing of refugee applications, which saw a reduction in arrivals in 2015. Here are the countries that resettled the most refugees through UNHCR in 2015: United States (66,500); Canada (20,000); Australia (9400); and Norway (2400) But while most refugees who are resettled in Australia come through the UN, this isn’t the only way it happens. Of the 2.34 million people given refugee status in 2015, only 0.1 per cent (2377 people) were given refugee status in Australia. At the end of 2015, Australia had 20,677asylum applications pending. Australia received 16,117 asylum applications in 2015, ranking it 61st relative to GDP worldwide. As comparison, a country such as Sweden in 2015 received 162,877 asylum seeker applications, plus 3400 UNHCR resettled refugees. When it comes to the total number of refugees recognised and resettled by a country, Australia ranks 25th (and 32nd on a per capita basis). These are the top five countries by that measure: Turkey, Russia, Germany, Tanzania and the United States. On a per capita basis, that list becomes: Turkey, Lebanon, Djibouti, Jordan and Rwanda. In the 10 years to December 31, 2015 the 139,398 refugees recognised or resettled by Australia accounted for 0.99 per cent of the global total of 14,129,593 — with Australia ranked 26th overall, 31st per capita and 46th relative to national GDP. Catarina Luczak, Somerville

Blame Labor/Greens I read with interest Ann Renkins’ comments calling on the Prime Minister Scott Morrison to apologise to the 52,000 plus illegal immigrants who were intercepted trying to sneak into Aus-

tralia through the back door (“Timely apology; show sympathy to refugees” Letters 30/10/18). Surely she must have her wires crossed? It was the Labor/Greens alliance that caused misery with adults and babies drowning at sea. The Labor/Greens alliance which opened 17 new detention centres, Manus Island and the detention centre on Christmas Island. What Scott Morrison did was to stop the boats. And now, after five years, having had to try and ascertain the true background and identity of people with no documents and who refuse to say where they are from, we are down to the last few. In the past nine weeks more than 50 children have been resettled. Yes, we need an apology, just not from Scott Morrison, who deserves our thanks. Michael Free, Mt Martha

Train priorities During the time of the Kennett Liberal government, the railway to Mornington was closed. The Liberals now want to electrify the railway as far as Baxter, which in 2016 had a population of 2162. This still leaves Mornington, population 23,989 in 2016, without a rail connection into Frankston and beyond. The population of the Mornington Peninsula was 155,000 in 2016 and is now 164,000 and growing. A discussion with the Mornington MP David Morris about the lack of regular and reliable public transport brought a shrug of his shoulders. The existing railway tracks and property are still in place. The local rail enthusiasts run tourist trains almost every weekend. There is no excuse for inaction by politicians. John Always, Mt Martha

Planning omission At a recent public state election forum held at RMIT, Labor and Liberal MPs were invited to present election policies and take questions from a 100 or so concerned citizens. Mornington’s MP, David Morris, to his credit, was one of the four MPs who turned up; none were from Daniel Andrews’s ALP government. Mr Morris talked about Phillip Island and Hume councils as well as being drawn into the City of Melbourne elections, but at no time did he mention Mornington or the threat to the green wedge and beyond the urban zone; property developer plans to build five-storey buildings in Kunyung Road, Mt Eliza; and potential subdivisions to the last Ansett cliff top estate. Surely Mr Morris has the responsibility to support his electorate and show more determination on such issues? His law and order policies are a red herring or, in this case, a blue herring, as where are the alternative political candidates in this safe Liberal seat? Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza Community Alliance and Kunyung Road Action Group Editor: The Labor Party last week named its three candidates for the three Mornington Peninsula electorates – Ryan White, Mornington; Chris Brayne, Nepean (“Labor’s late start in Nepean” The News 1/10/18); and Simon Meyer, Hastings.

We ‘deserve better’ One might think that [senior manager project engagement] Kelly Parkinson and his employer AGL had received the message by now (“Supply concerns drive gas import ‘urgency’” The News 24/10/18). In his diatribe Mr Parkinson and AGL continue to display their unbridled desperation to get their floating gas terminal at Crib Point. AGL’s modus operandi is classic corporate sleight of hand. Hire as many “independent experts” to produce as much one-sided information as possible and then keep rehashing the same old rehearsed arguments, most of which have proven to be false and misleading (such as the promise of jobs, cheaper gas prices and the false guarantee of supply). Twenty-six public meetings (AGL’s figure) sounds impressive. The trouble is that AGL’s version of community consultation is to steam-

roll and brainwash with mountains of spin, dodgy “expert” reports and fear tactics. Should that fail then throw some cash bribes at local community groups and sporting clubs. If only AGL hadn’t offloaded our gas reserves in the first place. The company’s track record simply shows that it cannot be trusted environmentally, economically or ethically. Sadly, the EIS will only serve to delay what I regard as bullying tactics and environmental vandalism. Ironically, Planning Minister Richard Wynne appears to be following suite. Bypassing local government planning rules, he wrote to the mayor of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Brian Payne, last week, to inform him he had used his ministerial powers to approve the construction of a hydrogen liquefaction and loading terminal in the shire. It will be built at BlueScope Steel’s terminal site at the Port of Hastings in Western Port. No community consultation at all. Western Port deserves better, but we are going to have to fight for it. Bill Mitchell, Somers

Divided community The steering committee of Save Westernport was recently informed that a person driving a white ute was systematically driving around and taking down No AGL posters from fences and roadside locations. One of our members replaced the signs on her front fence 15 times before she gave up. And I came home to find my own sign unceremoniously torn and cut off from my front gate. Why would any resident of the Western Port area feel so passionate about wanting to have a large polluting gas factory with its accompanying pipeline and visiting LNG tankers compromising the fragile ecology of a renowned fishing spot and Internationally designated Ramsar wetland installed? AGL has made it quite clear that it will create very few jobs. However, AGL has approached local businesses and sporting associations with offers of substantial amounts of money and other benefits if they support AGL to use the bay for its hugely profitable plan. For the residents who have felt left behind, or sidelined by mainstream society, the jobless and disenfranchised, finally it feels like someone is taking notice of them. The boredom and bitterness of many of those left behind by the push of large corporations to exploit and plunder for the benefit and profit of its stakeholders is, in their naive view, finally going to be mitigated. And a community divided is a community which can easily be persuaded to sit back and passively allow a huge corporate to come in and irreversibly ruin yet another one of nature’s vital refuges. Candy van Rood, Crib Point

Environmental credibility Rupert Steiner is spot on regarding AGL’s senior management project engagement, Kelly Parkinson denying any adverse impacts of the proposed Crib Point gas import project and promoting it as “a safe and environmentally responsible project” (“Questionable claims” Letters 30/10/18). The allusion to chlorine in drinking water being safe is misleading – chlorine is added to drinking water to kill life forms in the water. The statement “when the water returns to Western Port it will break down to an undetectable level within 20 seconds” presumably refers to the concentration of 0.1 mg/l of chlorine in the discharged water becoming undetectable. No reference can be found in AGL’s report “Chlorine in seawater heat exchange process at Crib Point” to chlorine being undetectable within 20 seconds of discharge. Rather, the report identifies the complex reactions between chlorine and bromine in seawater, notes that the resulting toxicity from bromine generated products may be greater than chlorine in the pH range of the seawater and identifies chlorine concentrations after initial dilution and six-hour chemical reaction at 16-18oC as 0.006 – 0.001 mg/l, depending on the number and type of discharge outlets. Recognising the susceptibility of a number of larval and juvenile marine species to chlorine-based toxicants at the concentrations stated in the report, together with the volume of 450,000 cubic meters of chlorinated water being discharged daily, the article by Parkinson would have been more assuring had it absolutely excluded the possibility that no tidal plume

of chlorine-based toxicants will spread to the adjacent Ramsar wetlands, adversely impacting on resident species. The Western Port community deserves technically credible statements on this important issue – not vague assurances that all will be well. John Humphrey, Bittern

Power play If anyone needs a reminder that both Labor and LNP are in the pay of the carbon lobby, the latest decision by Planning Minister Richard Wynne to give the go ahead for a hydrogen liquefaction and shipping facility at Hastings, just a minute before going into caretaker mode, says it all. The brown coal from AGL’S Latrobe Valley coal deposits will be burned to make hydrogen. But the whole process is still in a developmental phase and no one has any idea if the proposed carbon sequestration for this project even is achievable. But obviously our minister must have had a vision of the future and knows that this is possible. Shame on you Mr Wynne. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach Editor: The Labor state government and the Liberal Natioonal federal government have eacg given $50 million towards the hydrogen project led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries (“Parties unite over power” The News 17/4/18).

Government rip off How do you think I feel when I do not have mains water and have to pay the parks and gardens levy to the tune of $238.75, which goes up each year (“All time levy” Letters 30/10/18)? Audrey Doueal is lucky with only $77.10. I have phoned and been told I have to pay, but no one has helped me with rebates for building tanks to supply the house with water or with electricity as every time you turn on a tap the pump goes on. Imaging what amount of revenue this adds up to? Why has there not been any move to advise how much is collected and how much parks and gardens actually use and what happens to the balance.? Transparency is needed and the whole system should be overhauled. John Thompson Dromana

Kaufland? Can’t wait There is a bit of indignation that the German Kaufland supermarket chain is seeking permits from the state government rather than Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to build a giant complex in Mornington (“Make supermarket giant ‘compete fairly’” The News 30/10/18). A huge development like this proposal is likely beyond the ken of a local council. The business acumen of the shire appears to be wholly directed to generating as much tourism as possible and eliminating council carbon emissions. The ethical status of our council is illustrated by a rates surcharge of nearly $200, in defiance of a government-imposed rates cap introduced to reign in excessive rates. The intellectual capacity of our council can be gauged by them expecting us to believe that the surcharge is for waste services already paid for by general rates. Bring on the development. The sooner the better. It will be of great benefit to all residents. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Mental health priority Many will say too many royal commissions, but the proposed royal commission into mental health in Victoria by Premier Daniel Andrews, if he is re-elected, is welcome news to us carers who try and navigate a broken system. Mental Health for far to long has been the Cinderella of health in this country. As people like Professor McGorry and Professor Alan Fels, former chair of The National Mental Commission, have both stated on many occasions, more needs to done to fix an antiquated mental health system. I have a son with schizophrenia, diagnosed over 20 years, and believe me it has been and is a roller-coaster ride due to lack of continuity of care and resources in the public system. More money is not necessary the answer, but how and where it is spent. I will be making a submission to the proposed royal commission and encourage others to do so. We need a bipartisan approach, so come on [state Liberal leader] Mathew Guy, do the right thing and ensure that we get this much-needed royal commission.

German atrocities - A ghastly record - A war of civilization Compiled by Brodie Cowburn THE atrocities committed by the Germans in France and Belgium should induce all eligible Australians to enlist, for they show at a glance what Germany will do to Australia if she is ever allowed to come here. It is vitally important to remember in this connection that the only guarantee that she will not come here now or later lies in an outright victory for the Allies - a victory which every eligible Australian should at this moment be helping to win. By far the most terrible document published since the War began - perhaps, indeed, the most terrible document ever given to the world is the official report of the British Commission appointed to examine into the Belgian atrocities. The report is a terrible record of cruelty and lust. Captives and non-combatants were systematically mutilated by the German Army, apparently in accordance with some secret and hideous injunction set down in the devil’s handbook of “frightfulness.” Civilians were freely shot, apparently for the sheer joy of murder. Little children were mutilated, and women were repeatedly violated and then hacked to death, so that their bodies became unrecognisable. Here are two instances of mutilation: “In the blacksmith’s shop in Hofstade I saw the blacksmith dead with his hands cut off and his wrists still tied. Our whole company saw him, I should think. In another house I saw a child of 10 to 11 years kneeling; he was dead, a bayonet had been stuck through his chest. “The other woman was about 20 years old. She had a bayonet wound in the head and her legs had been cut almost off. The whole room was covered in blood. The bodies of the two women were lying side by side, and that of the man a little apart. We entered another house further on, on the same side of the road. In the downstairs room was a hanging lamp, and a boy of about 10 years of age was hanging to it by a piece of string. The string was round his neck. He has a bayonet wound in the stomach. There was a pool of blood under the body. The blood had dried, I think. I did not touch any of these four bodies.” The atrocities on women should come home with terrible force to every Australian who values his manhood. Such loathsome acts as the following were of repeated occurrence: “When we entered Hofstade in August last, or some village near to it, a girl of about 18 or 19 years of age complained to me and my comrades (four) that she had been violated by several German soldiers for a period of about two hours before we entered the village on the threshold of a house in full daylight and in view of villagers. When I saw her she was covered only with a chemise and skirt.” In the name of humanity, every Australian of military age is today asked to enlist, so that these horrors may be avenged, and the world may be made safe for ever from the possibility of their recurrence. If Germany is not beaten, Australian homes may yet be visited by the Hun during the lifetime of you to whom this appeal is addressed. Go forth and play your part. *** MRS. W. P. Mason of “Tally Oh’’ requests us to notify that she intends to form an orchestra in Frankston for patriotic purposes and will be pleased if those willing to join will notify her at the above address. *** ON Tuesday, 19th November, at 3 o’clock, M r Bernard Michael will offer for sale it the Royal hotel, Dandeuong, a farm property at Carrum, known as Walsh’s, containing 100 acres (about), Situated two miles from Seaford and Frankston Railway Stations by a good road.

There is four rooms 1 wooden house and out buildings. *** REV J. E. Warren, of Balaclava, will conduct the three services on Sunday next in connection with the Frankston Methodist Sunday School Anniversary. A special feature will be the singing of the children, assisted by an efficient orchestra. On the following Monday evening there will be a public entertainment, when an attractive programme will be presented. *** STRAYED into my Paddock, Humphries Road, Frankston, Chestnut Pony, white face, two white spots on back, no visible brands. Owner can have same by paying expenses. T. REEVES, Frankston, *** A.I.F. Xmas Book. An unexpected opportunity is now afforded the public of Australia to secure copies of a second great souvenir of the part played by Australians in the war. This is the “A.I.F. Xmas Book” previously issued only to the troops overseas. It forms a companion publication of the “Anzac Book” a few copies of which are still obtainable. While the “Anzac Book” dealt with the campaign in Gallipoli, the “Xmas Book” relates wholly to the briliant exploits of the Australians in France. It contains over 150 engravings ranging from grave to gay and covers the period from the arrival of the A.I.F. in France to the date of issue. There are pictures of every battlefield over which the Australians fought. These were taken at frequent intervals in the actual fighting at Florubaix. Armentieres, Pozieres, Mouquet Farm, the Somme in winter, Flers, Martinpuich, Le Sars Bapaume, Bullecourt, the Hindenburg Line, Measines, Polygon Wood and Ypres. The “Xmas Book” has been described by a high British authority as “the finest collection of war photographs I have yet seen.” It has been published under the direction of a committee composed of Major General N. M. Symth, Major General E. G. Sinclair Maclagan and Mr C. E. W. Bean official war correspondent. For Australia the sale of the “Xmas Book” has been placed in the hands of a committee of which Mr Thomas Trumble, secretary for Defence, is chairman. Copies may be had at 4s 6d each from leading booksellers.

Already £4,500 has been paid into the troops patriotic funds from the sale of the books and it is hoped that a further substantial contribution will result from the sale affected in Australia. *** Our Letter Box. TO THE EDITOR Sir, An earnest endeavour is now being made to establish a sub branch of the returned sailors’ and soldiers’ Imperial League in Frankston. A meeting is called for Saturday, 16th inst., in the Mechanics’ Institute, at 7 p.m. In reply to Mr C. Wood’s letter of an earlier date, the bye-laws and rules of the constitution, as already established in various sub branches, will be adopted. Dealing with memberships, the rule reads: Any person who has served in, or with, the British army or navy, on active service, and who is not now eligible for enlistment will be entitled to membership. Hoping to see a good number. V. N. HYNDES. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 9 November 1918

Rate your hearing at Nepean Hearing

4 Million Australians have a hearing loss NEPEAN Hearing is offering free hearing tests and rating your Hearing for Your Age (for the over 40’s). The number of Australians who are hearing impaired is increasing because of • the Ageing Population –we are living longer • excessive Noise - in the workplace and high level music Hearing loss is often described as the ‘invisible disability’. People often wait for 5-10 years before they seek help. Hearing loss may also be a contributing factor in the speed of onset of dementia. The degree of loss is also correlated to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to know about your hearing. Many people ignore the signs of hearing loss, which include turning the TV or stereo up so loud that others complain, frequently needing to ask others to repeat themselves and not being able to hear properly on the telephone. Constant ringing is also another warning sign of hearing loss. As technology advances, many people with hearing loss benefit from hearing aids. These innovations have made a positive difference in the way they can communicate and enjoy their lives.

Nepean Hearing is an independently owned clinic and the audiologists are University of Melbourne trained. For hearing screenings our main office is located across the road from Frankston Hospital at 13 Hastings Road, Frankston, phone: 9783 7520. We are also located at: 171 Camms Road, Cranbourne, phone: 5966 1117, and Hastings Community Health 185 High Street Hastings, phone: 97837520.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Your Guide to Being the Office DJ By Stuart McCullough IT’S an awesome responsibility. One that sat on my shoulders like fullgrown gorilla without impulse control. Get it right, and it would bring people together. Get it wrong, and it could repel those in attendance resulting in a room that was cavernously empty and echoing with the sound of failure. Not that I wasn’t up for the challenge. After all, it was my first official attempt at being the ‘office DJ’. I say ‘official’ in that my colleagues have borne the brunt of my musical predilections. There have been car trips where the question ‘I can’t believe you’ve never heard of [insert band name here]’ which, but for the fact that I had complete control of the stereo, would have resulted in awkward silence. But this was different. This was an event with guests. Trying to keep people broadly happy was the name of the game. There was no room for error and, as a result, obscure musical choices would need to be kept to an absolute minimum. My history as a disc jockey might best be described as ‘checkered’ if you’re being polite and ‘controversial’ if you’re being honest. I can recall being let loose at someone’s twentyfirst and managing to clear the dance floor in record time. Turns out, very few people like Lyle Lovett as much as I do. Or my last day of high school when I commandeered the public address system and confused a generation of youngsters by spinning Chad Morgan’s ‘The Sheik From Scrubby Creek’, followed by Dolly Parton’s ‘9 to 5’. (I was being ironic. I think.) There are family functions too nu-

merous to mention when my musical choices have dented the momentum somewhat. My insistence that we ditch the more traditional ‘Happy Birthday’ in favour of Carl Orff’s ‘Carmina Burana’ was not as well received as I’d hoped. And it caused quite some confusion for the twelve year old whose birthday it was. Ditto the time that I decided that the Beastie Boys would be a suitable a backdrop only for stunned silence to follow as an avalanche of f-bombs fell down over Sunday lunch. Glancing through the songs on my computer, I knew that simply selecting ‘shuffle’ and hoping for the best would be tempting fate. And fate, as

we know, is an absolute sucker for temptation. Granted, I could see some Sam Cooke and James Brown; things I knew that everybody could enjoy. But I could also see less appropriate songs, such as Andrew WK’s somewhat selfexplanatory ‘Party ‘Til You Puke’ and the never-appropriate-at-work ‘Nude School’ by Painters and Dockers. I would have to make playlist specific to the occasion. But before selecting which tunes to inflict on workmates and guests alike, I needed to build a sense of anticipation. More importantly, I needed to lower expectations. So that whatever I came up with would feel like welcome relief. When word got out that I was

putting together a playlist, I’d be sure to say something encouraging like, ‘I sure hope everyone likes gangster rap as much as I do.’ Generally, this was greeted with a shuffling of feet and an avoidance of eye contact. Had expectations been any lower, you could trip over them. I knew I’d overstepped the mark when a larger than expected number of potential guests offered their apologies. But it’s not just a matter of the songs. It’s also the question of volume. The wrong choice when it comes to volume can completely ruin an office event. Too soft and you run the risk of being a total buzz kill. Too loud and you may drive people out of the

venue. The latter describes my entire career as a musician when, invariably, we cranked up the amps and the sea of people on the dance floor would part as though Moses himself was rocking to microphone. Importantly, I ran a series of tests. I tried various songs at different volumes and tried to calculate the sound-absorbing effect of a room full of people. As best I could tell, it was loud enough to be heard (and, importantly, to let everyone know awesome my taste in music is) without stifling conversation. I gravitated towards the classics. I’m talking Solomon Burke, Joe Tex, Aretha Franklin and Etta James. Everyone likes soul music. Except, of course, Vladimir Putin, who is completely immune to human emotion and is on the record as being a huge fan of the band Aqua. Luckily, Putin wasn’t coming. He always brings down the mood and there was not a cinder’s chance in hell that I was going to give ‘Barbie Girl’ a spin, no matter how much he begged. At the right moment, I connected the laptop to the Bluetooth speaker and we were away. Music started. There was even the ultimate office DJ accolade of heads nodding in an appreciative manner. Importantly, nobody left the room to get away from the noise I was making. Music is a funny thing. It can and should bring people together. But it requires care and planning, and should not be left to chance. I’m all for algorithms that read your mind, but there’s something to be said for something that requires time and effort. And avoiding Aqua. Rock on. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Light work: Pines made light work of Baden Powell to claim the first innings. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Pines’ bowling puts Baden Powell to the sword By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

PINES have put on a clinical bowling performance to easily claim the first innings over Baden Powell. Baden Powell’s first four wickets fell for just 18 runs, leaving them little hope of getting anywhere near Pines’ total. Damien Lawrence was pick of the bowlers for Pines, tearing through the tail to claim figures of 4/16 off 16 overs. Pines then enforced the follow on, and left Pines at 1/20 going into their second innings. Red Hill faced off a decent charge from Somerville to hold their first innings lead, although an impressive knock of 49 runs from opener Brenton Alp caused the Hillmen some headaches. Brent Martin was at his best for Red Hill, claiming figures of 5/47. Somerville fell just short of their target of 184, ending up all out for 152. The result is particularly disappointing given they looked a good chance at 7/147. Main Ridge have fallen agonisingly shirt of catching up to Crib Point’s first innings total in their two-dayer match. Crib Point set a healthy total of 190 to chase at Ditterich Reserve, and were given a good run for their money. William Noall’s middle order knock of 49 nearly proved the difference, as his side was bowled out just 8 runs short of taking the lead. Ridge’s last

three batsmen combined for just four runs. At Ballam Park East, Long Island’s dismal first innings total of 75 was quite easily surpassed by Moorooduc. Madushanka Perera’s innings of 61 was nearly enough to pass the total alone, as his side combined for a good total of 168 all out. Long Island showed a little more fight as they got their second innings underway, pulling up stumps at 4/137.

DISTRICT

ROSEBUD struggled to defend their first innings total of 145 against Carrum at Roy Dore reserve. Carrum’s openers got things off on the right foot, and at 0/55 they looked to be cruising their way to a win. John Mitchell was handy with 49 before being dismissed by the impressive Billy Quigley. Carrum surpassed 145 with 7 wickets still in hand. Delacombe Park comfortably went to work about defending 235, as the Seaford Tigers struggled to make a splash in their innings. Thanks to Ricky Ramsdale’s brilliant 4/20 off 20 overs, the Tigers ended up all out for 108. Delacombe Park’s second inning got off to a shakier start, they finished the day at 2/30 off only 8 overs. Hastings easily won the first innings over Seaford, as they batted to 3/178 before declaring. This easily surpassed hastings’ dismal 81 runs from

their first innings. Seaford set about their second innings with a little more purpose, but still ended the day at 7/105. Mitch Anderson was the pick of their batsmen, putting together a total of 43. Mt Martha had to work hard to surpass a total of 145 from Heatherhill. Rhys Whitling’s late innings total of 45 proved a huge help as his side claimed the first innings and finished at 9/162. Rye got nowhere near Dromana’s tame total of 125, as they were left all out and rattled for just 56 runs off 29 overs. Zacc Clan played the game of his life, claiming a brilliant 8/16 off 14 overs. Six of those wickets came from clean bowling his opponents. Dromana followed up with a good second innings total of 3/126 before declaring. Rye were sent in to bat once again and ended up at 4/94 before the end of play for the day.

SUB DISTRICT

FRANKSTON YCW have had little trouble defending their first innings total of 207 at Peninsula Reserve, claiming an easy win over Skye. Skye could only answer with 83 before losing all their wickets, they were sent to follow on for their second innings, and ended the day at a far from inspiring 5/94. All ten Stonecats fieldsmen bowled during the second innings.

At Citation Reserve, Tootgarook have pulled off a miracle to claim victory over balnarring. Chasing a difficult first innings total of 212 to win, Tootgarook’s openers combined for just 13 runs. Luckily first drop batsman Robert French was in an aggressive mood, as he hit 61 runs from only 56 balls. He hit 13 fours, showing he was not much in the mood for too much running between wickets. After the quick loss of three wickets for four runs in the middle order, Tim Symons came in to steady the ship with a cool 58 not out from 131 deliveries. A decent performance from the tail saw Tootgarook successfully reach 213 with two wickets to spare. Carrum Downs will also be devastated to have let slip their first innings lead of 250 over Tyabb. Starting slowly at 2/9 then at 3/35, all looked doom and gloom for the Yabbies. Jarrod White put his hand up for his struggling side, and put together a magnificent century. He claimed 105 runs from 211 deliveries. A brilliant innings of 94 from middle order partner Michael Edwards was enough to put Tyabb ahead at 4/253 from 76 overs.

PROVINCIAL

FLINDERS battled hard to meet Mt Eliza’s total of 203 in Provincial cricket on Saturday, but a tail order collapse

has left them falling short. Blake Hogan-Keogh left his side in pole position with an innings of 87, but those that followed could not build on his hard work. From 4/152, Mt Eliza ended up all out for 178. Pearcedale’s middle order were brave, but fell well short of meeting Mornington’s target of 276. Kaine Smith came within a run of a half century but it wasn’t enough, as his Pearcedale outfit were bowled out for 182. Langwarrin would have felt comfortable heading into the second day of their match against Peninsula Old Boys, defending a total of 295. At 3/120, OB looked to be gaining on their opponents, before two quick wickets fell. Wade Pelzer battled hard with 78, but once he was dismissed the innings fell apart. Peninsula OB were dismissed for 211. Sorrento have pulled off an impossible task to close out the weekend, chasing down Baxter’s mammoth first innings total of 6/318. Opener Corey Harris took matters into his own hands for the Sharks, scoring a stunning 128 to set his side up for a great escape. With time running out, Sorrento made their target with a little more than three overs to spare. They were left with seven wickets in hand and can hold their heads high after a brilliant showing.

Verdun: ‘We’ll win the league’ SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie DANNY Verdun has thrown down the gauntlet to opposition clubs in State 2 South-East declaring that Peninsula Strikers will win the championship next season. Recently appointed as head coach of the Centenary Park club Verdun addressed an audience of mainly current and prospective players last Thursday evening at Strikers’ home ground. Over 70 people attended and listened intently as Verdun told them what he expected from his players. “It doesn’t matter how old you are or your output as a footballer this is all about the attitude you bring to this club,” Verdun said. “If the attitude and hunger is not there, if the desire is not there along with the discipline to do the job that this club deserves – these are the most important things I want to get through to you tonight and this is what the club expects from you.” Verdun touched on his own migrant experience after coming to Australia from his native Uruguay to emphasise the importance of persistence in the face of adversity and the link between hard work and success. He then outlined his aims for next season. “This club is going to win this league next year,” he said. “I’ve had people come up to me at the end of a season and pat me on the back for finishing third and I’m telling you I can’t stand that. “We’re here to win.” There is no doubt that Verdun and assistant Neil Standish who also spoke at the meeting will bring a core group of players with them from previous club Knox City and if they can retain the bulk of Strikers’ 2018 squad then Verdun’s target is realistic. Strikers’ Players’ Player of the Year Alex Van Heerwarden and forward John Prescott have been linked with Langwarrin. Prescott was at Thursday’s meeting while Van Heerwarden was on holiday. Strikers recently made major changes off the field with Trevor Johnston stepping down as president and being replaced by Marty Sutherland, a 40-year-old who hails from Inverness in Scotland. Sutherland played with famous Highland League club Forres Mechanics and has been with Strikers for seven years. Johnston led the club for two years wiping out its debt and eventually

forging a good relationship with Strikers’ junior wing and Sutherland plans to build on Johnston’s achievements. “I wanted to carry on the good work that Trevor has done and to continue his legacy,” Sutherland said. “That’s really important especially with the juniors coming in.” Evidence of the now positive relationship between Strikers’ senior and junior clubs is the presence of seven members from the juniors on Sutherland’s 15-strong committee including junior president Adrian Scalpi. “It’s really important to continue to work with the juniors and we want our reserve team to be an under-23 side,” Sutherland added. He also wants to end the coaching instability that has plagued the club in recent times. Verdun is Strikers’ eighth senior coach in just over 12 months following in the footsteps of Craig Lewis, Billy Buchanan, Willie Raines, Andy O’Dell, Jamie Paterson, Lenny Greenan and Jamie Skelly. The club also has had to cope with a large player turnover. “I think we used 47 players last season and we don’t want to go through that again,” Sutherland said. Verdun’s first session as head coach will be on Tuesday 11 December at Centenary Park. There will be a break over Christmas and New Year before pre-season

resumes on Tuesday 8 January four days before the first of a series of preseason games all at home. In NPL2 Langwarrin continues to build an imposing senior squad for 2019 with news that Springvale White Eagles’ top scorer for the past three seasons, Damir Stoilovic, has agreed to join the Lawton Park outfit. The 21-year-old has scored 35 goals in three seasons and in 2016 was named NPL2 Young Player of the Year. “Damir has been of interest for some time and I watched him on numerous occasions towards the end of the season,” Langwarrin head coach Scott Miller said. “He’ll provide the squad with further quality and depth and more importantly a real balance in our attacking midfield options.” Stoilovic and other recent signings David Stirton, Luis Covarrubias and Jordan Templin are evidence of a new-look senior squad with much improved strikepower as Langwarrin targets a top six finish in NPL2 which would maintain its second-tier status when the elite competition is restructured for the 2020 season. And you can expect more new signings to arrive at Lawton Park. Meanwhile Langwarrin under-16s head coach Doug Hodgson has recently returned from a business trip to the UK and has arranged a series of tour

matches for his squad in England next year. Hodgson is a former Sheffield United defender and was the first Australian to move into management at a professional club in England during his stint as The Blades reserves manager. He has arranged games against Wolves, Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United and is hoping to add a match against Watford to the itinerary. In NPLW news Southern United announced last week that physiotherapist Anna Trnka would again work with the players after assisting them with running retraining and sports injury management throughout the 2018 season. Trnka has been part of the Back in Motion Patterson Lakes team since February 2017 after moving to Melbourne from country Victoria. She competed as an elite crosscountry skier for nine years before retiring in 2015 having represented Australia at the World Championships in Val di Fiemme, Italy (2013) and in Falun, Sweden (2015). Trnka’s focus is on active rehabilitation and exercise therapy to help players eliminate pain, prevent injury and enhance performance and her special physiotherapy interests include running assessments, injury prevention screening and Pilates. In State 3 South-East news Frankston Pines announced the resigning of Lewis Potter and Luke Murray last week. Potter, 29, has been with Leicester City’s academy squad and has played with Langwarrin and Strikers. He can play at the back or in midfield.

“I’m delighted we have retained Lewis for 2019,” senior coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor said. “He will be important for us both as a player and as a role model for the younger players we have brought in. “He’s an experienced footballer with good technique who likes to keep the ball on the deck.” Murray, 23, is a former Peninsula Strikers and Seaford United player who has played at the back, in midfield and up front at Monterey Reserve. He had spells with South Melbourne and Dandenong Thunder as a junior player. “Luke is a dynamic, technically skilled player who can play in a number of positions and he’ll prove his worth during the season,” Taylor said. Murray is convinced that Pines can bounce straight back after the disappointment of being relegated from State 2 South-East last season. “There’s no way I could leave after we went down and I want to win the league with Pines next year,” Murray said. “I think having ‘Squizzy’ in charge and with the new players he’s bringing in it might be just what the club needed.” Pines also confirmed last week that former president Gary Hodgson and wife Pip, who had served as club treasurer, had been granted life membership. “Both Gary and Pip have worked tirelessly over many years to ensure the club not only survived but were instrumental in gaining approval for the new $3.8 million new clubrooms that will be built at Monterey Reserve,” president Steve Spencer said. “This is a very small way that the club can repay Gary and Pip for everything they have done and achieved over the years.” However one of the downsides of the Hodgsons stepping down from the committee is the increasing likelihood that their son, CJ, has played his last game for Pines. The 25-year-old has played in most outfield positions at Monterey Reserve and has even played in goal but he is due to meet with Doveton officials this week. In an off-season story published in these pages late last year Hodgson said he’d be at Pines as long as his parents were involved which gives newly promoted State 1 South-East outfit Doveton a second-to-none chance to get its man.

Weir aces Cup day feature By Ben Triandafillou THOUSANDS of race goers packed into the Mornington Racecourse on Sunday 4 November for the annual Peninsula Cup. The highlight of the year for the Mornington Racecourse saw a crowd of more than 9,300 people flock into the stands to witness the Warrnambool-based master trainer, Darren Weir, claim yet another country cup. Having also won the Mornington Cup in March with Kings Will Dream, Weir backed-up his success on Sunday to take out the Peninsula Cup with five-year-old stallion, Royal Ace. Despite drifting in the market before the race, Royal Ace managed to run over the heavily supported Mornington-based gelding, Call It A Day, in the final 50 metres of the straight to land the victory. The win made it back-to-back victories for the son of Casino Prince who claimed a benchmark 78 race at Moe in emphatic fashion at his start prior. Royal Ace held a half-length margin over the Wez Hunter-trained Call It A Day (second) and the Maher/ Eustace-trained gelding, Black Sail (third). Winning jockey Ben Allen said his mount, Royal Ace, can be quite a good horse when he starts to switch on. “He’s definitely got his own personality,” Allen said. “When he does have his mind on the job, he can really gallop so that was good.

“I was happy [with the pace], he was in a rhythm and it was just a nice gallop the whole way and I think that’s what made him come into the race really well. “It’s good to get another winner for Weiry and the team, so I couldn’t be happier.” Gallant runner-up, Call It A Day, is likely to back-up into a 2000m race at Flemington on Saturday 10 November, according to trainer Wez Hunter. Hunter said he thought his gelding was very tough, after having a hard run out in front. “I thought he was very brave,” he said. “Ideally we would have wanted a softer lead but he stuck on bravely and I thought he did well.” “He licked out the bin this morning (Monday), and even though he hasn’t raced over 2000m, I think he’ll run it out strongly. “He’ll be hard fit having had 11 starts this preparation and he’s racing very well.” Gun Sydney-based jockey, Tommy Berry, is likely to stay aboard Call It A Day when he heads to Flemington. Overall, the Mornington-based trainers had a relatively successful day at the feature race meeting with the Tony Noonan-trained Raven’s Blaze (Race 3) and the Chris Meagher-trained Born Bad (Race 2) both saluting earlier in the day. The Tony Noonan-trained mare, Raven’s Blaze, was one of the most dominant winners on the card, scoring a comfortable 3.25-length victory to

break her maiden first-up. Following the victory, Noonan said he’ll give the mare another run in two to three weeks’ time before looking towards the autumn for softer tracks. The Chris Meagher-trained gelding,

Born Bad, was also a strong maiden winner at his second career start. The win landed apprentice jockey, Jessica Eaton, her first victory at Mornington for her master trainer, Chris Meagher.

Mitchell bullish, Pen Boxing take three-pronged attack By Ben Triandafillou SEVERAL top boxers from the Mornington Peninsula will be out to finish the year off with a bang when they line-up at the Melbourne Pavilion on Friday 14 December. WBC top-10 ranked fighter, Jayde Mitchell, headlines the card and will face the well-travelled Danish boxer, Kim Poulsen, in the main event. Mitchell will be looking to end his 2018 campaign with a regional title defence following his clear-cut victory over power-puncher Kerry Foley on Friday 7 September. While Mitchell understands that Poulsen is a highly experienced fighter with a record of 28 wins and four losses, he is still supremely confident heading into the night. “I watched footage of him, he’s a well-skilled fighter but I have to put a really good show on if I’m serious about going to bigger and better things,” he said. “He’s well-travelled and fought across the world. I’m expecting him to be in good shape, and even though he has come to fight, he won’t be getting the win.” Poulsen, who was fighting in the welterweight division just a couple of years ago, has returned in the supermiddleweight class in which Mitchell believes he has no right to be in. “I’m not looking past him, I’m looking through him,” he said. “He’s got no business being in my weight division. It’ll be a seek-anddestroy mission to finish the year off with a bang.” Mitchell has big plans ahead for next year and is hoping to end this campaign on a high. “Hopefully we can go from this to one of the biggest domestic fights in

March next year against Zac Dunn,” he said. “It’s going to be an exciting year next year and the offers are really starting to come in now.” Also lining-up on the card is professional boxer, Kane Watts, who has been training alongside Mitchell and his father, Len Mitchell. Watts will be aiming to claim the WBA Oceania title and search for a spot in the top-15 world ratings. Peninsula Boxing will also have a few fighters on the undercard with the likes of Jason Whateley, Jai Alexander and Lochie Higgins all set to step into the ring. Whateley, who is coming off a professional debut victory, will be lining up for his second fight at the

elite level. Peninsula Boxing head coach Marcos Amado believes that Whateley will most likely need to fight an opponent “above and beyond”, with competitors being so hard to find. “No one wants to be in the ring against him,” Amado said. “We’re not looking past this fight but it’s going to be the first belt and the first step towards bigger and better things.” Jai Alexander will likely have a similar problem when finding opponents, having had just the two fights for the year. “He’s also been very difficult to get a fight for but we’ll probably know a bit better with whom they’re up against in the last two to three weeks

before the night,” Amado said. Finally, Higgins will be going up a weight division into the super-middleweight class for the first time. Amado said they’ll be playing it slightly more cautious when coming up against some bigger and heavier hitters as they go from the 72kg to the 76kg of the super-middleweight class. This will be the fighters final hitout for the year and Amado said he

couldn’t be happier with their preparation heading into it. “Everyone’s put in a really solid camp,” he said. “After that we’ll probably have four weeks off and start getting back into things again in the second week of January.” Tickets for the night can be purchased through the boxers.
