Landing flip ends interstate outing Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au LONG-TIME Peninsula Aero Club member Jim Wickham is “a little bit upset” about the dramatic finish to his return flight from a central NSW flying event on Sunday morning. Half way along the Tyabb airfield runway a wheel of his replica Russian Yakovlev Yak 9 slipped into soft turf at the side of the bitumen causing it to veer off course. Both wheels then dug into the grass and the plane slowly rose up and gradually flipped over onto its back. It was left with damage to its wheel, wing, propeller and rudder. Mr Wickham, of Moorooduc, was unhurt but trapped inside the cockpit until freed by emergency services. Straight afterwards he reportedly had his screwdriver out and was removing parts to disconnect the battery. Mr Wickham, in his 60s, got bogged in the same aircraft at the club’s 2012 air show – but with less dramatic results. Aero club president Peter Bernardi said “we don’t know exactly what happened. Off runway: The Yak 9 which flipped after landing at Tyabb airfield on Sunday. No one was injured in the crash. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Perhaps there was a gust of wind from the west that set him off course. Once he got one wheel in the grass it pulled him over”. “It happened slowly and he had time to put his head between his knees and just let it go over. “He got out without even a scratch but, of course, he was a little bit upset. He’s a very fastidious person and had prepared the aircraft well.” Mr Wickham was assessed at the scene by emergency services but did not require treatment. He is tipped to be busy this week fixing the damage to his aircraft. Mr Bernardi described the stronglybuilt single-engine fighter aircraft as being “formidable fighting aircraft” when used against the Luftwaffe in World War II later against Australia and the United States in the Korean War. Mr Wickham’s plane was built in 2002 but with a larger US-made engine. Mr Wickham has two other Yaks, two Mustang replicas, a Spitfire replica and a helicopter.  On Sunday 9 August Carl Solomons, 59, of Patterson Lakes, died when his Cavalon twin-seater aircraft hit power lines and crashed into shallow water on a flight between Tyabb airfield and Tooradin. His passenger, 37, was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with serious injuries.

Staff ‘upset, intimidated’ by coal protesters – MP Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FLINDERS MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt has condemned “aggressive behaviour” by protesters towards staff at his Hastings office. Mr Hunt said the behaviour of two men during an anti-coal mine protest organised by GetUp on Wednesday was “utterly unacceptable”. “A member of staff was deeply upset and intimidated by two of the protesters,” Mr Hunt said. “This aggressive behaviour by two male protesters towards a female staff member is utterly unacceptable and should be condemned by GetUp. “I certainly hope their behaviour is not representative of the organisation and did not represent the general behaviour of the delegation.” A letter from “Simon Hawking, Somers” published in Saturday’s The Age said he had been one of two adults who carried a crate of coal into Mr Hunt’s office “as a symbolic manifestation of what the minister was consigning the nation to” [by permitting the Adani Mining coal mine in Queensland]. “We were equal parts astonished, amused and despairing to be asked indignantly, ‘So you’re going to pollute our office with coal?’” Mr Hawking said the “one concession” was the welcoming, by Mr Hunt’s office staff, of children bearing gifts “in the form of animal-shaped balloons representing the Great Barrier Reef marine life”. Mr Hunt said the Coalition government “inherited a reef from Labor that was on the watch list and on the way to being listed as in-danger”. Government efforts since then to protect reef had led to it being removed from the “in-danger”

listing by the World Heritage Committee. “The committee praised Australia as a global leader in its management of the reef,” Mr Hunt said. Protesters are fighting against the Indian-based Adani Mining’s plans for Carmichael open cut coal mine near Moranbah in central Queensland and the export of coal from the Abbot Point port, near the Great Barrier Reef. The government’s approval for the mine was set aside by the Federal Court in August after being presented with evidence of a bungle within Mr Hunt’s department which meant there were no provisions to protect the endangered yakka skink and ornamental snake. As a result, the government wants to change the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act that grants a right of legal appeal to third parties. However, the falling price of coal and an announcement by the Commonwealth bank of its withdrawal as Adani’s advisor may mean that the project’s “lifetime resource value of at least $300 billion” may stay in the ground. Mr Hunt, although asked by The News, did not comment on the bank’s action or provide an estimate of the number of jobs likely to be created by the coalmine. The organiser of the GetUp protest outside Mr Hunt’s office did not respond to a call from The News, which was also unable to contact Simon Hawking. GetUp describes itself as one of Australia's largest campaigning communities and claims to have more than 800,000 members. “We're an independent, grassroots, community advocacy organisation that seeks to build a more progressive Australia and hold politicians to account.”

Marine care on the syllabus PENINSULA primary school “marine ambassadors” helped a Melbourne Water maintenance crew inspect and remove rubbish from a litter net at Tanti Creek Wetlands, Mornington, last week. It was part of the Dolphin Research Institute’s hands-on ‘I sea, I care’ program. The pupils examined the types of litter caught in the net and learned about the institute’s

“catchment to coast” initiative which teaches them that litter dropped on the street can end up in the bay, posing a threat to marine animals, like the dolphin. They also learned about stormwater harvesting and completed some water quality testing. In the afternoon the pupils visited Schnapper Point to learn how to survey for dolphins and litter.

Keeping track of night hunter POWERFUL owls might be 60 centimetre s tall and have white plumage, but they are rarely seen; heard maybe, but not seen. Being a nocturnal bird of prey they are most active at night and make themselves scarce during the day. They are the largest of the avian night hunters and, as their name suggests, capable of preying on medium to large tree-dwelling mammals: ringtail possum and great glider. They also take roosting birds and animals on the ground, such as rabbits and small marsupials. Despite their strength and hunting prowess, powerful owls are listed as being endangered. The Mornington Peninsula has been identified as one area where several families do exist and Mornington Peninsula Shire and the local branch of Birdlife Australia are trying to find out where they live and roost. The monitoring program could reveal habitat critical to their survival that needs protecting. Adult powerful owls are dark brown with a white and brown flecked underside with yellow eyes. They can be heard calling at night and their voice is described as a “deep double hoot”. This time of year, the young owls begin emerging from the nest and can be heard trilling to be fed just after dusk. Shire conservation ranger Josh Gunn is asking for reports of sightings or observations of powerful owls so the locations can be included in future surveys and to broaden the

knowledge of the species' distribution on the peninsula. Max Burrows of Birdlife Australia said the powerful owls are a “top level” predator that was necessary to balance the ecosystem. "Recent surveys by the state government identified significant numbers of owls on the peninsula and we're wanting to keep up to date with sightings

and, in particular, breeding locations so they can be properly protected for the future generations of this endangered species," he said.

Woman dies in collision

Appeal change MOTORISTS will soon no longer be able to apply for an official warning based on a good driving record if they are caught speeding at more than 10kph over the limit. However, motorists will still be able to apply for an official warning under provisions for special or exceptional circumstances. A good driving record will remain a basis for appeal for motorists detected speeding by less than 10kph over the limit. The changes to the official warning notice criteria come into effect on Monday 21 September. “I think the community will agree that a motorist caught speeding at 54 km/h in a school zone shouldn’t be eligible for a warning,” road policing command Superintendent Kevin Sheridan said. “Speeding remains one of the biggest killers on our roads and this is a reminder for drivers that they are responsible for making sure they are aware of their surroundings, including speed limits, at all times.”

A CRASH between two cars on the Western Port Highway, between Bungower and Eramosa roads, Somerville, last week claimed the life of a 19-year-old Western Australian woman who died at the scene. Police have been told her car was travelling on Dandenong-Hastings Rd when she collided with an oncoming car about 5.30pm. The male driver of the second car was taken to Frankston Hospital with minor injuries. Five CFA units attended, as well as ambulance and police. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash and will prepare a report for the coroner. The road toll stands at 173. This time last year it was 165.

Dam, no escape THE freezing waters of a Tyabb dam might not be everyone’s idea of a good hiding place, but they appealed to a man running from police on Monday. Highway patrol police identified the Hastings man, 30, in O’Neills Rd as “someone we would like to speak to”, but he ran off, overland, when approached. Sergeant Simon Noonan, of Hastings police, said the fugitive “went to ground in a dam” – until police called in the dog squad which was nearby. Without hesitation one of the dogs jumped in, swam out and seized him by the arm, and brought him back to the bank. The man was taken to Frankston hospital to be treated for hyperthermia. Sergeant Noonan said he was expected to be charged with “traffic matters”.

No answers over shot in Hastings house POLICE say they are “no further advanced” in their investigations into a home invasion in Hastings, Tuesday last week, when a shot was fired inside a house in the early hours. The police Major Crime Unit visited the house in Spring St and spoke to the occupants: a couple with a young child, but no charges have been laid. It appears no one was injured in the 12.05am incident and nothing stolen. The three offenders reportedly drove off at high speed in a silver car, possibly a Holden, waking neighbours who called 000. Forensic police later took photos and looked for clues at the house, where four cars, trailer and a moped, were parked in the front yard and driveway.

Western Port News 8 September 2015

THE shire has charged the owner of a bush block in Main Ridge with illegal clearing under the Environment and Planning Act. The matter will come before Frankston Magistrates’ Court next week. The owner faces a maximum penalty of $180,000 per offence but any fine is likely to be much lower. If the prosecution is successful, the fine would likely be in the range of $5000 to $50,000. The matter of remediation will be pursued separately. About a third of the 16-hectare block was cleared in January by a contractor. A shire spokesman told The News the owner had been charged “with removing vegetation without a planning permit”. “The first mention hearing is 17 September.” The shire’s manager of planning compliance, Paul Lewis, said his department had “commenced 30 enforcement actions this calendar year – six of these being vegetation-related”. The “landlocked” block at 2 Barkers Rd off Mornington-Flinders Rd was in the news earlier in the year when Antoinette Noronho asked Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and Parks Victoria to allow her to build an access road to her land through Main Ridge Nature Conservation Reserve.

She has been accessing it via a track through the reserve and had to seek permission from Parks Victoria each time. Ms Noronho bought the 16-hectare (40-acre) block with no access road for $425,000 in January 2013 at a mortgagee’s sale. The property had been bought by Peter Quinn in 2007 for $975,000 but he failed to win approval for a road. In December, the council voted to “discontinue” 130 metres of Barkers Rd in what appeared to be a trade-off for allowing a road through part of the reserve, which was approved by councillors in June despite the opposition of 12 neighbours who said the reserve was home to swamp wallabies, echidnas, antechinus (a small marsupial) as well as 60 species of birds. At least two migratory species, rufus whistler and rufus fantail, nest in the reserve. In June, councillors were told the access road sought would do far less damage than the possible alternative – an extension of Barkers Rd, which would destroy a fern gully down the slope of Manton Creek and would require a bridge over the creek. Although the previous owner could not gain access to the land, councillors were told that every owner of land that is landlocked has the right to apply to the Supreme Court to have a right of access granted.

Cricketers off to Brisbane WESTERN Port Secondary College student Matt Foy, pictured, is off to Brisbane this month to play with the Victoria Country under-17 cricket team. Matt, of the Hastings Cricket Club, plays with South East Country Sharks and this season will be playing premier cricket with Frankston Peninsula. He and Tom Ewing, of Mt Eliza Cricket Club, have been chosen in the state country team to play eight one-day matches, 28 September-8 October. Matt’s father, Pat, is a former Sydney Swans player and a former captain-coach of Hastings Football Club who took the team to a premiership in 1992. The year 10 student has been picked as the team’s wicketkeeper, but his father reckons he’s “all right with the bat; he’s more a batsman than wicketkeeper, rather than the other way around. It will be a great experience for him”.

BUY DIRECT Police concerns over & SAVE! gangs coming south Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CRIME gangs with a disciplined culture and ability to plan and set targets has given a new potency to crime in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. The tech savvy gangs use social media, including Facebook, and encryption apps to co-ordinate activities, allowing their members to mobilise and disperse quickly, recruit members and plan their next hit. Easy access to stolen cars and quicker freeway travel times mean that our once sleepy hamlets are now high on the agenda of the often race-related gangs who regard “slap on the wrist” penalties as green cards to commit more crimes. Mornington Detective Sergeant Nick Vallas said recent raids on the peninsula could be linked to a crime gang from Dandenong. “We can’t say they are definitely gang members, but they probably are,” he said. “They adopt a common theme before committing crimes, which they call missioning. This may be to break into a car and steal it, or, if the car’s locked, to break into the house and steal the car’s keys and then steal it. The stolen cars are then used to rob other cars. “It’s this willingness to go to any lengths to achieve their aim that worries us.” Car owners are making it easy for thieves. On Saturday night, 22 August, eight cars were broken into in Bentons and Dunns roads, Mt Martha, with thieves stealing a Subaru – later recovered in Frankston North – and loose change. Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Mornington CIU, said all the cars are believed to have been unlocked. “We go on about it, but people are still making it easy for thieves.” He said the incidents are not believed to be gang related. In Mt Martha the same night, up to four men burgled a house on The Esplanade, at 3am Sunday 23 August, frightening a couple who woke to find them rifling through bedside cupboards and draws. The men, described as African or islander in appearance, were using mobile-phones as torches, going from room to room searching for valuables. They left with jewellery valued at $20,000 when the couple raised the alarm. A Hampton Park man, 24, believed to be the get-away driver, was arrested by Mornington police and, although not being charged with any offence on the night, may be charged at a later date. Frankston Embona Detective Sergeant Marty O’Brien said gangs with names such as Apex, Y2K and YKK were making life “very busy” for detectives. He said racially linked members

coming to Frankston from Dandenong and Narre Warren – some aged as young as 13 – were a “huge problem”. “Crimes by these groups have risen 10-fold over the past few years,” he said. “And 90 per cent of it relates to the Polynesians. “They get straight off the plane and are straight into it. We know who they are but we can’t do much about them.” Police are frustrated by lights sentences handed down by the courts. “One guy charged with 14 counts of armed robbery was granted bail,” Detective Sergeant O’Brien said. “Why a court would even entertain the idea of bail I don’t know.” A Melbourne police taskforce formed to tackle the threat from gangs has charged more than 70 young men over a six-month crime spree, including crimes in Frankston and on the peninsula. The youths, aged 14-24, were charged with more than 400 serious offences ranging from armed robbery to commercial burglary, car theft, driving offences and illegal gun possession. The six-month police investigation, established to target mid-level organised crime, revealed that two syndicates based in Melbourne's northern suburbs had targeted department stores and tobacconists all the way down to Frankston. Three violent thieves, who police later identified as gang members, raided two 24-hour service stations, at Dromana and Rosebud, on 29 July. The trio, with one member aged 15, stormed counters and terrorised staff with an axe and a handgun in the early morning raids. CCTV footage shows them smashing glass counters, destroying computer equipment, rifling cupboards and pointing a handgun in the face of the lone attendant – before repeating the viciousness 15 minutes later at the next service station. Money and cigarettes were stolen at both premises. Six of the gang were apprehended within the week and the youngest is now out on bail. Their arrests form part of a bigger picture, with up to 25 offenders nabbed over a spate of aggravated burglaries, vandalism, thefts from and of cars, deceptions, petrol drive offs and armed robberies across the southern suburbs in the past few weeks. “They knew each other and were acting together; there was definitely a level of planning and organisation,” Frankston Embona Detective Sergeant Alistair Hanson said. The same gang is believed responsible for smashing up to 25 car windscreens and rear and side windows in Cheltenham. Two vandals in two cars used golf clubs and a hammer to smash the windows of cars parked in streets off Centre Dandenong Rd, causing $25,000 damage. Other cars were damaged in Armadale and Caulfield.

Animals ‘live’ on A TAXIDERMY exhibition by 11-yearold Tyabb Primary School pupil Xavier Noonan will feature at the HastingsWestern Port Historical Society Museum, noon-4pm, 12-13 September and 19-20 September. President Andy Tredwell said visitors would find the show at the museum, at the corner of Marine Parade and Skinner St, Hastings, interesting. Xavier has featured on TV’s Channel 31 Antiques with Attitude program and is now on its season two introductory promotion. His “career” highlight – so far – has been a personal tour of the taxidermy department at Melbourne Museum after he answered their call for a taxidermist. Undeterred by his tender years, Xavier applied for the position only to be knocked back. “They were very impressed by him and took him on the tour which he found fascinating,” his mum Kellie said. Xavier also has works on show at the Vintage Shed and Tyabb Packing House, in Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Tyabb.

NEWS DESK MP News Group journalist David Harrison is in Thailand supporting his mate Alan Morison and his wife Chutima Sidasathian, who were charged in late 2013 with criminal defamation and computer crime over a story they published on their online website Phuketwan about abuses against Rohingya migrants in Thailand. The charges centred on a paragraph in Phuketwan on 17 July 2013 citing an investigative report by Reuters alleging that some navy officials were involved with trafficking Rohingya Muslims fleeing Myanmar (Burma). The trial generated widespread condemnation from human rights groups and the United Nations. Morison and Sidasathian faced up to seven years in jail but last week were found not guilty of all charges. The Thai navy has until the end of September to appeal. Harrison has been supporting the two journalists by organising fundraisers, a petition and a rally in Melbourne. He attended the court case in Phuket in July and returned for last week’s judgment. This article has been posted on Phuketwan and has generated worldwide interest.

Why good journalism matters By David Harrison I BEGAN my career in journalism about the same time as Alan Morison, half a century ago at the afternoon newspaper, The Herald, in Melbourne, Australia. It sold more than half a million copies a day. It was a force in the city. It was listened to by politicians, by business people, by judges and lawyers, and was loved and respected by its readers. Its journalists did not set out consciously each day to seek that approbation of its readers, who comprised about one in five of Melbourne’s population. They simply, like blind Justice, did their job – to discover and bring to the public the news of the day, whatever that news happened to be. Nor did we concern ourselves much with what public reaction might be to what we wrote. We knew we had the support of our journalistic seniors and

the public. We were part of what was then called the Fourth Estate, a term born in 18th century Britain to describe the huge influence of newspapers in the life of the nation. Originally the press – the Fourth Estate – ranked with the other three estates. These were the British parliamentary estates known as the Lords spiritual, the Lords temporal and the members of the House of Commons. That is, the press and its journalists ranked alongside the unelected members of the British House of Lords, both churchmen and the nobility, and the elected members of the Commons. The press had – and wielded – the power to bring down governments, to change government policy, and to rein in government power. Generally it used this power responsibly. This was the environment in which young journalists learned their trade.

Alan has continued to do this throughout his working life, in the finest traditions of the press. He now publishes his news in the new medium of the world wide web. He is part of the new fabric of news dissemination. He and his very impressive colleague Chutima Sidasathian have published news on their Phuketwan website that is certainly not to the taste of everyone who reads it. News has been defined as ‘’something that someone, somewhere, does not want published. All the rest is advertising”. Alan and Chutima do not deal in advertising or seek to please their readers. They simply seek out the truth and disseminate it. The consequences in the case of their reporting of people smuggling in Thailand have been very serious indeed. Both face the possibility of jail. For what? Has anyone challenged

the truth of their reporting? No. They have been faithful to the best centuriesold traditions of their calling. They are in the legal position they face because their facts have annoyed people in power in Thailand. These facts meet the classic definition – they were something that some people did not want printed. They were embarrassing, they were seen to diminish the standing of powerful people in a powerful social institution, the Royal Thai Navy, which was not mentioned in the report against which they took offence. The facts were not challenged – Alan and Chutima’s resolve to publish them, and therefore to shine a spotlight on a great and deeply troubling social issue, was under challenge. They were to be crushed as an example to others for their bold impertinence. The original publisher of the words that drew the navy’s response were not sued. They were too big and powerful.

Shame on Reuters for abandoning Phuketwan to its fate. In the long term such facts must – must – be published. The public has a right to know. All around the world, journalists daily pay for this demand on them with their freedom, sometimes their lives. Thailand needs more journalists, and more media proprietors, who will take the risk of a backlash from powerful people and institutions in what they present to the community, whatever the risk and consequence. It is vital to strong democracies for this to be done. It is vital for Thailand’s future that its powerful institutions respect the Fourth Estate and its practitioners for doing their job. The nation will never develop into a strong democracy without letting the facts – diligently gathered and responsibly reported – from being freely disseminated. It is the test every governing regime faces, and must pass.

Demise of NSW’s ‘Steeltown’ could benefit BlueScope’s Western Port plant ANALYSIS Mike Hast RUMOURS of BlueScope Steel closing its Port Kembla blast furnace in Wollongong and reorganising its Australian flat steel production could benefit the company’s plant at Hastings. BlueScope announced a full-year profit of $136.3 million on 24 August – an improvement on last year’s loss of $83 million and even larger losses in recent years – and its share price went up but these are worrying times for the nation’s biggest steel producer, its workers and other stakeholders. The financial result came out on the day the Australian share market suffered its worst fall since the global financial crisis but the company’s shares rose almost 9 per cent as it confronted its “steelmaking mortality”. BlueScope produces 2.6 million tonnes of steel each year at Wollongong, once called “Steeltown” when about 25,000 people worked there in the early 1980s. Now its 5000 workers make 500,000 tonnes more than the domestic market can take each year, so it is exported at a loss of $200 a tonne. In June, the Illawarra Mercury was first to report the shutdown rumour but it was denied by the company while conceding it was looking at options including importing steel rather than manufacturing at Port Kembla. Two weeks ago BlueScope’s outgoing CEO Paul O’Malley said the com-

pany would be forced to close its last blast furnace if it could not find $200 million in savings. In July, ABC News reporter Stephen Letts said the closure of the remaining blast furnace and a restructure – focusing on imports and the higher-margin painted products Colorbond business – could slash capital expenditure from $200 million a year to about $50 million. Using cheaper imported steel would

increase profitability by 50 per cent, while profitability across the entire company could increase by 70 to 140 per cent, another analyst said. Under this scenario, hot rolled coil would be sourced not from Port Kembla but from overseas for the Western Port plant, which makes profitable building products such as Colorbond and Zincalume on its rolling and painting lines. BlueScope might restart shipping

hot rolled coil into Western Port – this time from Asia. (The company’s ship the Iron Monarch made its last delivery to Western Port in October 2011 and BlueScope closed the hot strip mill on 19 October as part of a restructure of its Western Port and Port Kembla sites after posting a $1 billion loss and withdrawing from exporting steel products. It retrenched 2000 workers – 200 at Hastings plus 70 contractors – and closed

one of two blast furnaces at Port Kembla. At Hastings it mothballed one of three metal coating lines.) In future, flat steel products made in Hastings might be sent overseas by ship instead of being taken from the plant by train and truck for the domestic market, as is currently the case. This could see an increase in employment at the Hastings plant. BlueScope’s corporate affairs manager Michael Reay told The News “no decisions have yet been made on the future of Port Kembla steelworks” so it was too early to speculate about the Western Port plant although he did say “With respect to any potential effects on Western Port if the Port Kembla Steelworks was to close, these scenarios are currently being considered in the strategic review being undertaken”. “It is our objective to maintain steelmaking at Port Kembla and we are doing everything we can to do that and deliver the $200 million of annual cost savings we need to improve competitiveness,” he said. “The next update on the future of steelmaking at Port Kembla will be around the time of our annual meeting in November.” Asked about recent work at BlueScope’s wharf, he said: “The maintenance currently being undertaken ... is routine maintenance unrelated to any potential closure of Port Kembla Steelworks.”

Diversity a feature of award winners Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au DROMANAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S famous Butterfly House; war memorials at Somerville, Red Hill and Mornington; the former Sorrento post office; and a slab cottage built in about 1850 at Heronswood are among the places featured at the 2015 Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards. The awards are a joint effort of the peninsula branch of National Trust and Mornington Peninsula Shire, and started in 2011. They were presented on Friday 28 August by shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb and Dr Graeme Blackman, chairman of the National Trust board. Cr Colomb said the â&#x20AC;&#x153;excellent nominationsâ&#x20AC;? received this year were a good indicator that interest in the awards was as strong as ever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many fascinating and important heritage places on the peninsula and it is encouraging to see owners, heritage professionals and the community coming together to protect them,â&#x20AC;? she said. Judy Walsh, National Trust branch president, said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards were remarkable in their diversity, and congratulated the recipients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very rewarding to see the younger generation involved in heritage conservation in its various aspects including buildings, landscapes, cemeteries, gardens and

objects,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is gratifying to see the strength of commitment in a community continuing to embrace conservation of heritage places as important and acknowledging their value as cultural assets.â&#x20AC;?

Paris tragedy inspired art humour book IN January after the murders in Paris at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, Mornington Peninsula publisher, author and artist Fran Henke dispelled her dismay and anger by creating a collage on the theme of the slogan that swept the world – “Je Suis Charlie” (I Am Charlie), including Aussie references. “I’ve worked with cartoonists and satiric portraitists over more than 50 years of journalism and the tragedy hit me hard,” she said. She donated her work, Je Suis Ahmed, to Bald Archy Prize organiser Peter Batey, who created the prize in 1994 to take the mickey out of pretentious portrait prizes such as the Archibald Prize. As the reaction rolled on around the world – the most poignant cartoon coming from David Pope of the Canberra Times (“He drew first”) – Mrs Henke emailed Peter Batey suggesting they do a book celebrating Australia’s satiric portrait painters, the freedom in which they work, and his diverse career. He agreed, saying it should be launched on 24 July with the announcement of the 2015 Bald Archy winner; it was put together in just five months. In Yer Face – The Bald Archy Prize charts the growth of the prize from its start as a one-off celebration to now being Australia’s most popular touring art exhibition. It shows the significant role humour in art has played through history and in Australia since J F Archibald established The Bulletin in 1880. A former arts journalist for the

National Times and The Australian, Mrs Henke worked with Australia’s leading cartoonists, developing an appreciation for the nation’s “black and white” tradition, and interviewed artists such as Sidney Nolan, Brett

Whitely and, in London, Elmyr de Hory the notorious forger. As a theatre director, Mr Batey launched Mrs Henke’s first book in 1976 so they go back a long way, which informed her tribute to him in

the book. He has written an hilarious account of how the prize came into being. There is also a rare interview with the Bald Archy’s judge, the elegant and well-informed sulphurcrested cockatoo Maude.

The book includes all winners of the Bald Archy Prize over its 22 years. “Finding the 12 winners – one artist has won five times, three others have won twice – was a challenge,” Mrs Henke said. “We found all but one, Peter ‘Wilko’ Wilkinson. We were particularly worried about an early winner, Alan McClure, who was in his 90s. We discovered he had only recently retired as a cartoonist on the Cootamundra Herald and he has contacted. Finding my friend and 2005 winner Tony Sowersby of Seaford was not hard. “I wanted to know who they were, what they did as ‘day jobs’. Wonderful responses and ‘selfie’ drawings started arriving. “A tribute to Peter Batey was important. Peter with Barry Humphries was co-creator of Dame Edna Everage. Peter launched my first book in 1976, now 40 years on.” The pair finished the book, sent it to the printer and arranged a launch in Sydney. Mrs Henke headed out to Melbourne Airport but missed her flight – and the launch – but arrived in time for lunch. She is a polio survivor and didn’t tick the box requesting assistance at the airport for its daunting stairs.  In Yer Face – The Bald Archy Prize has been published by Fran Henke’s imprint Flying Pony Press and costs $30 plus packing and postage of $13.

Footy stars signing up for surfing IT might be getting to the pointy end of the season for the AFL, but players were not too busy when asked to sign surfboards for a charity auction. The players stayed off the field long enough to take turns with black markers to autograph boards made in their team colours for the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch. The auction for the 18 boards starts 2.30pm Sunday 13 September at the Baha taco and music bar, 2201 Point Nepean Rd, Rye. Bids, starting at $650 a board, will be taken from the floor and over the phone. Unsold boards will be auctioned later on eBay. The boards (including a Hawks premiership board) were made at the Trigger Brothers shop, Point Leo. The 6ft 6in retro single fin boards were shaped by Simon Forward, glassed by John Jolly and finished by Al Francis finishing. Burford supplied

the blanks and Nuplex the resins. The DSA hopes to raise $20,000 through the auction which will be spent on improving beach access for the disabled at Point Leo. The Disabled Surfers Association was established over 25 years ago and has branches in every state. The Mornington Peninsula branch each year holds several surfing days for people with any disability and works to improve access to the beaches. More than100 disabled surfers and 300 volunteers attend the surfing days at Point Leo and other events are held by another DSA branch at Ocean Grove. To find out more about the DSAMP go http://disabledsurfers.org/vic/ morning-peninsula-branch/ To bid for a board go to Baha on the day or register at www.firstreef. weebly.com Keith Platt

Signed up: Four of the “footy boards” to be auctioned to raise money for the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch with, from left, branch president Joe Hart, Rod Jones (Triple R’s Dr Surf), boardmaker Phil Trigger and committee member John Bowers.

Early fire warning from government THE state government last week warned Victorians about a long, hot and dry fire season ahead but made no mention of a key driver of drier conditions and hotter temperatures across southeast Australia – El Nino. The Bureau of Meteorology said the El Nino weather pattern now building in the Pacific Ocean could be worse

than the record-breaker of 1997-98, which was one of the drivers of the so-called Millennium drought, which lasted from 1995 to 2010 in some parts of Australia. The drought in Victoria broke in March 2010 when storms pounded the state but it was not declared over until after the floods of September that year.

Dams in the state were 70 per cent full by mid-2012, the highest level for 14 years. Last week the bureau said the warming of the sea surface in the equatorial Pacific Ocean was a key indicator of El Nino conditions. It would bring lower rainfall on the east coast and southern Australia. Last Wednesday, Victoria’s Emer-

gency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley said the Southern Australia Seasonal Bushfire Outlook 201516 predicted “an above normal fire season with an increased bushfire risk for Victoria”. The government said it had allocated “more than $20 million [for] a fleet of specialist firefighting aircraft to help

keep communities safe this summer”. Almost 50 aircraft, including two large air tankers (the first one to arrive from the United States several years ago was dubbed Elvis), would be on hand to support emergency services. Some aircraft would have infrared scanners to pick up hot spots not seen by the naked eye. Mike Hast

U3A explores history of the peninsula By Joan Yalden, U3A Mornington THE Mornington Peninsula has been recognised by the National Geographic organisation as one of the most beautiful – read “must see” – regions of Australia. Capitalising on this interest, with a focus on retired or semi-retired people, the University of the Third Age Mornington has launched five short courses on the peninsula’s history of development. “The courses bring together the various geological, botanical and cultural aspects of the history of the Mornington Peninsula,” course coor-

dinator Eileen Wilson says. The first course is about the physical development of the peninsula from pre-European settlement to the pioneers of the early settlement period. Things got off to a good start on Thursday 3 September at the U3A campus with talks by two guest speakers, Ms Wilson said. Botanist, botanical illustrator and author Leon Costerman discussed the geological origins of the peninsula, and the various constituent landforms that have influenced the vegetation and human practices. He is the author of Native Trees and Shrubs of South-

Eastern Australia (1981). Boonwurrung man and archaeologist Adam Magennis, a cultural heritage advisor with Mornington Peninsula Shire, spoke on indigenous culture before European settlement. “Coming from a science background, I have a strong interest in geology and eco-systems of flora and fauna,” class member Lynette Wilks said. “Having moved recently from the city to the Mornington Peninsula I now have the time to focus my interests on the region.” U3A tutor Gill Condie said those who had lived on the peninsula all of

their lives would also enjoy the series. It continues throughout October and November discussing flora and fauna of the peninsula, bays and beaches, land use, art, culture and tourism.

was towed between two tugs, it did not touch anything a declared minimum deep was promulgated. This channel could take vessels of 18.5metres draft with no dredging to Sandy Point (same draft as coal ships using Newcastle - do we want that trade? I certainly don’t). The deepest draft vessel handled in any Victorian port was the BP Achiever on the 16 January 1986, which sailed from Western Port with a draft of 15.5metres. The courageous Yes Minister type decision required to bring the 180 metre wide Great Ship Channel into Port Philip up to international standard to take 13 metre container ships envisaged for Australia will undoubtedly increase the tidal range flooding many areas. In the near future vessels will be dumping Victorian containers in Sydney and Adelaide. Businesses will move out of Victoria to reduce their costs, the shorter the land transport distance the cheaper a product when it arrives at the consumer. The Port Of Hastings Development Authority has a Western Port original chart showing natural depths. Capt Dick Cox, former harbourmaster Port of Hastings

Barrie Hunt of Mt Eliza castigates the ALP for the Coalition government’s current debt (“ALP’s debt problem” Letters 25/8/15). I would remind him that there was a global financial crisis a few years ago which this country sailed through with the ALP in government. To save us from the woes that other countries were, and still are, experiencing, the ALP showed it was a very good manager of the economy. The Coalition won the election and told us that the adults were in charge now. It also rattled on about the debt it had been saddled with. Having tried hard and not managing to convince the electorate, suddenly there is no economic emergency. So much so that tax cuts, the establishment of the Australian Border Force, with its mountainous costs and other schemes costing billions of dollars are waved through. Is Barrie being a little naive in believing the guff put out by the Coalition? Bill Payne, Rosebud

Sport’s risky time With the end of the winter sports season nearing for a variety of sports, many clubs will be considering events such as last game functions, presentation nights, mad Mondays and trips away. Club administrators and participants need to be aware some of the dangers and legal issues that can be prevented. Clubs need to ensure that any alcohol is served only on the days and at the times allowed in their liquor licence. Failure to abide by these conditions may attract considerable fines, possible loss of licence and impact on the club’s income, not to mention poor publicity. Club administrators need to meet with event organisers to discuss what is planned and identify possible risks and measures to be taken to reduce those risks. They should ensure no-one under 18 is supplied with alcohol by older players or officials and clearly explain what the club considers

acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. Unacceptable behaviours should include drunkenness, damage to property, violence, drink driving, verbal abuse, harassment, anything that may bring the image of the club into disrepute and anything against the law. A court in deciding whether a sporting club would be liable for an injury suffered by a player, or damage to property on an end of season trip or event will depend on the circumstances of each case. Clubs could be liable if they promote and endorse these types of activities to their members and fail to warn to of possible risks. It is no longer appropriate for heavy drinking and sport to go hand in hand, especially at the end of season functions. Club administrators need to ask themselves: “How would I feel if one of our members was

to die, or be seriously injured, as a result of an alcohol related incident run by my club?” Brian Nankervis, Mornington

Bay not too shallow Bernie McComb’s letter (“Bay too shallow”, The News 25/8/15) puts two and two together making five again. The Suez Canal has been deepened to 24metres to take ultra large ships carrying oil/ore cargos, not the largest container ships which have a maximum draft of 14.0 metres. Again, “to compete with Suez” – why? Our two trades are completely different. The Western Port entrance channel is two-way and 500 metres wide between the buoys marking straight lines for shipping. There is deep water outside the buoys. In the 1960s the entrance channel was surveyed, required depth was 14.9 metres, a bar

Over protection The attempt by our border protection force to randomly check peoples’ identification smacks of Stalinism or Nazism in days gone by.

Student art to lift hospital patient spirits By Fran Henke VISUAL arts students at Chisholm Frankston are taking their work to the walls of Monash Health this month to cheer and stimulate patients, visitors and staff. Their show, featuring paintings, sculptures, drawing and printmaking by art and illustration students, will open in the Monash Health Art Space, 3.30pm, Thursday 17 September. The opportunity came about after a meeting between art student Eleni Theodoridi, who also works as a medical interpreter at Monash, and senior manager and curator at Monash Health, Kim Minett. Their mutual vision and enthusiasm for the role that art plays in the public health setting created the collaboration between the Chisholm students

overlay we are now faced with a high-density development that will not meet the needs of open space or preserve the wildlife haven the old reservoir has become. The shire must now come clean about the old reservoir. It’s time we were told what the true story is. Whose interests are councillors Andrew Dixon, Anne Shaw and the mayor Bev Colomb actually advocating for? To ignore SEW and the panel that recommended not pursuing social housing and to ask the Minister for Planning to be part of a pilot project or some other social housing initiative is more than disappointing. We have been let down massively, but waiting to vote the councillors out at the next elections will be too late. The horse will have bolted. This council needs to understand that we don’t want opportunist developments on every spare scrap of land. We don’t want social housing or to be part of experimental pilot projects. Equally we don’t want mansions. No housing, full stop! Residents moved to the area to avoid highdensity housing and to raise our children or retire in a more natural, clean and quiet environment where we see more than just cats, dogs and starlings. Rates in the area have increased by more than $200 this year, so we deserve greater value or at least greater advocacy for that investment. Councillors, if you want to seek responses from relevant parties, come to the reservoir at dusk and hear from those that matter the most. Rebecca Taylor, Kunyung Residents Group, Mt Eliza

Taxes for the rich The non-action on the super tax on tax-free income flows of over $100,000 is obvious. If there were a tax placed on these earnings (more than most working Australians make) the politicians would have to take a hit being as their entitlements include (in addition to helicopter rentals) a huge pension which delivers well over the $100,000 no tax cap. According to Treasurer Joe Hockey, who used the lowering interest rates as a reason to not

have already suggested to Monash Health the possibility of murals with the help of local artist and other Chisholm students. Ms Theodoridi has approached other students, including Karen Neal and Jill Marshall, who have donated work to dress the walls of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit. Local artists have begun to offer time and talent, too, including sand sculptor Natasha Kamenskaia, mixed media artist Efrossini Chaniotis and photographer Fran Henke. The Monash Children’s Hospital will open in 2017, with what Eleni hopes, will be more opportunities for the arts in the Monash Health community. The Monash Health Art Space is at level 2, Monash Medical Centre, 246 Clayton Rd, Clayton.

and Monash Health. “I believe that hospitals and other public buildings are a great art platform,” Ms Theodoridi said. “It connects and benefits people who wouldn’t necessarily go to a gallery and visual artists that wouldn't have a chance to communicate their messages to a wider spectrum of public, people from all paths in life.” Her experience of working in hospitals led to a fascination with medical images, producing prints and mixed media works on the theme of “nonmedical Interpretations of medical images”. She is undertaking the advanced diploma of creative product development at Chisholm, with a wide range of experience in community involvement, health and the arts. “This is a cause really close to my heart and I

implement this tax, you would have to have $5 million invested (at 2 per cent) to get $100,000 income. The logic for those at the bottom of the food chain is that after an asset test you are not eligible for the pension. The theory being that you can cash in your assets to live. Not so for the politicians and the top end of town. Oh, I almost forgot that the Abbott government scrapped the super co-contribution for low income people – used to be $1000 under Labor, reduced to $500 under Abbott. Another oxymoron: “The Abbot government is the government of the people”, however, if we insert the word “rich” before people it is no longer an oxymoron. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Right to object The lastest attempts by Prime Minister Tony Abbott to try and renew the dredging around Abbot Point [Queensland], build a railway to the port site and start the proposed Carmichael coal mine has been boosted by our Minister for the Environment [Flinders MP Greg Hunt], with his plans to put before Parliament a proposal to prevent Australians objecting to the mine, unless they are living near the proposed site. The mining of coal (carbon) and the burning of same will seriously add to the carbon content of our atmosphere, worldwide. The minister should remember that climate change is the responsibility of every human, no matter where they might live. I strongly object that an extremely wealthy Indian national should be given preferential treatment by silencing most Australians. If the minister does not realise this, or realise that coal equals climate change, he should resign. With electronic means of communication, we have a vast amount of knowledge at our disposal. To suggest for one moment we should not express our opinions, even if we live in another state, about protecting our environment is absurd. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Climate for fires

people died. Married is the problem word and people in this category need a separate name. Married and partners are different. Owen Quayle, Mornington

The determination of Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt to permit the Carmichael coal mine to proceed astounds me. Once these coal deposits are developed financial interests will ensure that they continue to be mined long after even [Prime Minister] Tony Abbott has recognised the devastating effects of man-made climate change. In February 2009 173 Victorians, half of them children, lost their lives to bushfires driven by 100 kph winds and an ambient temperature of 47 degrees. I believe that due to the decisions of people like Mr Hunt to delay action on the issue of global warming in support of the coal industry, bushfires like those in 2009 will become more frequent and even more severe, killing many more men, women and children. I wonder how he would feel about deaths resulting from a bushfire caused by an extreme weather event. Peter Holt, Somerville

Holiday fun MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s school holiday program provides a broad range of activities to interest children, including incursions and excursions. An extensive range of fun fare will include games, fitness, sports of all sorts, cooking, movies, ranger programs, animals, libraries, spotlight walks, dinosaurs and everything in between. Programs run each weekday from Monday 21 September through to Friday 2 October for primary school-aged children. Activities are held 7.30am-6.30pm at three venues: Mornington Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Bentons Square Community Centre, Mornington, and Hastings Community Hub, Hastings. Fees include a $20 annual family registration fee paid once per calendar year. A $51 daily fee is charged for bookings made by the due date (and $56 afterwards), and there’s a late pick-up fee of $20 (per 15 minutes). Child-care benefits and child care rebates can reduce these fees. Invoices are mailed to the nominated parent following care. Enrolment forms and a current booking form must be completed for each child each calendar year. Children should bring their own morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. For details of the fun-filled holiday program visit mornpen.vic.gov.au

Marriage problem The problem confronting me today is marriage. What does it mean? To most of us marriage involves two people, one male, one female. They get together, decide they are going to live together and, in most cases, produce offspring. They make public declarations to this effect, and so the human race goes on. Next, we have the second group. They make their decisions privately. Some may reproduce, some may not. But, if you ask “are you married” the reply is usually “No, I love my partner”. Not publicly acknowledged – B grade. Now, we have a third group – been around for ages, probably – and they want to be fitted in. Fair enough. They want to be able to say “we are the same as you, married”. No, can’t be. For the simple reason: can’t reproduce. If the human race depended on these people to carry us forward, it would disappear when these

One of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatry practices, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, is excelling in the areas of musculoskeletal medicine and tissue regeneration. Utilising the latest medical research and natural treatments, the clinics are able to help heal injuries and assist degenerative concerns such as arthritis. This means that many of the foot and leg pain and mobility concerns that usually result in long periods of medication and/or surgery, could be a thing of the past. Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh, from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics Mt. Eliza practice says, “We’ve had some outstanding results assisting; pain and mobility concerns, arthritis, soft tissue injuries and degeneration with regenerative injection therapies such as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and Prolotherapy (Proliferation of new tissue injection therapy). We’ve assisted athletes return to professional sport, relieved pain in people who’ve suffered for years, promoted healing and increased mobility in people who’ve been told that nothing can be done for them and assisted others to avoid surgery.” Similar in action, both treatments encourage the body’s natural healing mechanisms and promote the development of new collagen.

Stay Tuned Hearing – hearing with passion HI my name is Robin Tu, and I am an experienced Audiologist, also known as a hearing specialist. After I graduated from the University of Melbourne, I have been looking after the ears and hearing of the Mornington Peninsula community for the past seven years. I first recognised the importance of hearing well when I was young. My mother suffered from severe hearing issues, and this impacted on her ability to communicate with her family and friends on a daily basis. Her job prospects and her ability to even enjoy her favourite TV shows were also restricted. This made me realise the detrimental effects of hearing loss on an individual’s communication, lifestyle and overall quality of life. As a result, this provided me the passion to help people with poorer hearing. With the assistance of hearing devices, I have seen many of my clients begin to enjoy the smaller things in life again such as: enjoying a family dinner during Christmas and birthdays, catching up with friends over coffee, and not having to ask to repeat a question when talking with others. Having specialised in adult rehabilitation, I aspired to open my own hearing company to provide the best service for all my clients. I do that by providing individualised care, offering a large variety of manufactures with up-to-date technology in hearing devices, competitive pricing, and most importantly, exceptional care and service for you. My clinic is a permanent clinic, not a visiting site like some others, and is situated in the heart of Mount Eliza with easy access by buses to and from the surrounding suburbs of the Mornington Peninsula. We are located on the health strip behind the Australia Post with other health services including: Podiatry, Myopathy, Speech Pathology and Optometry, for your convenience. So please come and experience the Stay Tuned Hearing service and find out how well you can hear!

ALL SMILES. Don Mckenzie is back at Bay West where his real estate careert started eleven years ago

Career comes full circle to work with the next generation FAMILY means a great deal to Don McKenzie, and it is that irresistible pull that once again has him as part of Bay West Real Estate. Don began his real estate career with Bay West in 2004 when it was owned by Gary Barnes and Brad Wilcox – Gary continues to operate Bay West Real Estate Somerville, however the owner of the independent Hastings office is now Dayle Wilcox, who as Director is joined by her sister, Sally, cousin Sean Crimmins, and long term Bay West employee, Kylie Roberts. Don’s move back to Bay West was largely brought on by the retirement of Sid Ferguson – a director of Satchwells Real Estate, and manager of the company’s Hastings office, which will close next month after 31 years in the town. Don had worked with Satchwells since 2007, after leaving Bay West who had a short lived re-brand as Barry Plant. “Because we had such a great working relationship with Satchwells, giving Don a new home was an easy choice and the transition has been very smooth” Kylie Roberts said. “Don has a record that speaks for itself, having consistently sold 80 to 100 properties a year for 10 years. His arrival here at Bay West is a huge win for us”. Don agreed by saying “The sense of family is very strong here, which is certainly what attracted me to start with.” Bay West Real Estate is at shop 1/109 High Street, Hastings.

NEWS DESK

Every one of these dogs has its day at work Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au EVERY day dogs are heading off to work from their homes in and around Seaford and Frankston. Once on the lead, they learn new skills and how to socialise in the wider world. They’re off to shopping centres, riding escalators and sitting quietly in cafes. Some go to children’s playgrounds and join in the fun, even going down slides. But all this activity has a serious side; the dogs are being trained to help children cope with their lives. Based in Seaford, Dogs for Kids with Disabilities (DKD), has already provided 40 families with assistance and companion dogs. It can train 8-12 dogs a year and has 30 families on its waiting list. Once allocated a trained dog, the families are themselves trained over two weeks in how to make sure the dog is obedient and retains its skills. DKD founder Katie Hunter says there are two training levels for the dogs: companions and assistance. Companion dogs “are a best mate for kids”, Hunter says. “They provide unconditional love and can be building blocks for a child learning new skills”. “Just walking a dog in the street can be a circuit breaker. It’s the same for someone with disabilities, a dog can be a conversation starter.” These companion dogs are taught a few tricks and even join their young masters in the playground.

Working dog: Dogs for Kids with Disabilities founder Katie Hunter out training with a Labrador destined to become a child’s “best mate”. Picture: Gary Sissons

“They can go down slides and are taught to give hugs and nudges with their nose. This can help if a child has a meltdown, lessening stress and shortening the intensity by lowering anxiety.” Assistance dogs are trained to be much more aware, even to the point of dropping to the ground and providing an anchor for children who are “bolters and runners”. A special harness is used to link the dog and child. “It’s almost as if the dog is taking

the child for a walk and keeping them safe,” Hunter says. “This can help with children who can’t be left alone and are hard to handle, which makes shopping difficult.” Once the harness is on, the dog is fully focussed on its job. “When the harness is off, they become a dog again.” Hunter’s skills began nearly a decade ago when she worked as a trainer of guide dogs for the blind. The dogs she selects for assistance

and companion training come from the breeding stock of guide schools. The dogs are mainly Labradors, golden retrievers and the so-called designer dogs, crossbred poodles, which are especially good for children with allergies. Hunter attributes her 70 per cent success rate to the quality of puppies provided by the breeders. At eight weeks of age they are taken in by volunteer “puppy raisers” and do not start their vocational training

until they are 14 months. This is the beginning of their working life. Living with families at “B and B homes”, the apprentices are collected by trainers each morning and returned at night. They spend nights and weekends with their “families”. Trainers are responsible for four dogs, each of which is taken on at least two 20-30-minute public outings a day. At the moment DKD has 23 puppies in volunteer homes. With that many dogs now under her ultimate care Ms Hunter admits to not knowing individual names. “I have a list.” The breeding, intensive training and care does not come cheap, and Ms Hunter says families wanting an assistance or companion dog often need a “fundraising program” to buy a dog. Assistance dogs are $30,000$40,000 and companions $16,000. “We ask families to have a fundraising program to see if they can get $8000 towards the companion dogs and we try to find $25,000 {from available grants] for assistance dog clients,” Ms Hunter says. The volunteer DKD committee helps and advises families on fundraising activities. As if she didn’t spend enough time with dogs, Hunter at home has a standard poodle and a Dalmatian cross. Dogs for Kids with Disabilities needs families in Seaford, Frankston, Langwarrin or Chelsea to look after puppies. Details www.dkd.org.au or call 9786 2909.

Diamond Denture Studio As one of the leading denture clinics on the peninsula, Diamond Dentures provides a range of services including manufacturing and repairing of quality precision dentures, custom fitted sports mouth guards and same day services. Having worked in the industry for over 35 years, dental prosthetist, Tony Finn decided it was time to open a denture clinic in Hastings and did so three years ago. “We provide dentures using the most advanced techniques combining and with the creative flair of our technicians, we will provide you with natural looking and comfortable new dentures,” said Tony, who understands that it takes individualized treatment and consultation to satisfy each patient’s requirements. “We do all types of dentures from full to partial. It doesn’t matter if it is one tooth that is lost or the majority of them, it all has an effect on your teeth eventually,” said Tony. “A lot

of people think if a back tooth falls out not to worry but, in time, that may cause the teeth in the front to become gapped as they compensate and shift.” When you go to see Tony at Diamond Dentures, he will determine what your denture requirements are and how to meet them, using state of the art technology. “We also do denture repairs and offer ongoing treatment so you can come back and make sure your dentures are still working for you after a couple of years.” As well and full and partial dentures, Diamond Dentures also do custom fitted mouth guards and sports mouth guards. Diamond Dentures is at 190 High Street, Hastings, opposite the Community Health Centre. Phone 5979 3007. www.diamonddentures.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Body of a woman found on beach Compiled by Melissa Walsh

papers.

THE Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd., has engaged an additional driver for the Frankston Garage and has also installed an additional modern Buick car at the Mornington Garage. *** THE next consignment of goods ready to be sent to Central Depot, Federal Government House from the local branch is now on view at Ritchie’s Stores, corner Bay and Playne street. *** WE are pleased to state that Private Daniel Downs, who enlisted from Frankston, and contracted meningitis while at the Seymour camp, and was conveyed to the Alfred Hospital, is now improving. *** WE hear that Zephuron, the Grand National Steeplechase Winner, is to be at once transferred to Frankston and spelled locally for a month or so, as the chestnut’s trainer, Mr M. J. Farrell has enlisted and is already in camp. *** A fatal case of meningitis occurred at Seaford on Monday last, Mr Robert Campbell being the victim. He was conveyed to the Alfred Hospital, where he succumbed to the attack on the following day. *** ATTENTION is drawn to a meeting of Councillors of the Centre Riding, to be held in the Shire Hall, Somerville, at 8 p.m. this evening (Saturday), to assist and give any information required in regard to filling in the War Census

*** WE regret to have to chronicle the death of Mr A. Findlay, late station master, at Frankston, which took place at Bacchus Marsh, on Saturday last. The deceased gentleman was esteemed by all Frankston citizens with whom he came in contact. *** THOSE who like a comfortable shave and a good hair cut will be pleased to hear that Mr C. W. Wood has established himself in business in premises opposite Brody and Mason’s, Bay Street, Frankston. He has had the premises nicely fitted up with every convenience, and has a good stock of tobacco and cigars of the best brands. *** ATTENTION is again directed to T. R. B Morton and Son’s clearing sale at Ingle Park, Bittern, on Tuesday next. This sale is one of the most important yet held in the district, everything being of first class quality and selected under Mr Ingham’s own supervision from the best of Melbourne ware houses. A full list of the articles appear in our advertising columns. *** THE news that Captain Sherlock had sustained serious injury by being thrown from a horse which he was schooling over jumps at the Seymour Camp on Tuesday last, was received with universal regret in Frankston. He was conveyed to the Base Hospital, Melbourne the same day in an unconscious state, and from the meagre particulars to hand we learn that he is still

unconscious, though slightly easier. *** THE body of a woman was washed up on the beach at high tide at “Moondah,” between Frankston and Mornington, on Thursday morning. The woman was about 55 to 60 years of age, 5 feet 2 inches high, slight, with grey hair and grey eyes. She was wearing a heavy brown coat and black dress with white stripes, and new shoes. The body was taken to the Mornington police station, where it awaits identification. Appearances indicated that the body had been only a few hours in the water. *** A grand Patriotic Dance, in aid of Australia’s Sick and Wounded Soldiers will be held in the Nor Mess Hall, on the works at Finders Naval Base, on Friday, 24th inst. The concert programme will be a good one,and will be farther enhanced by two artists from Melbourne, and a pianist from Allan’s music warehouse. The hall is a very capacious one, having 25,000 feet dancing space, will be specially fitted up for the convenience of the dancers, and as there will be a full moon on the occasion there will doubtless be a record attendance. *** IT will be seen from an advertisement in another column that a fourth presentation will be made on Monday, Sept 20th to volunteers to the front, drawn from Frankston and the immediate district. It will be remembered that the pre-

sentation was originally arranged for Aug 23rd but the function had to be postponed owing to the outbreak of cerebro-spinal-meningitis, the moving of the reinforcements and the inability of the recruits to obtain leave. The Hon. Sec (Dr Plowman) desires that friends of any recently enrolled recruits will send to him the names of the latter together with their exact camp addresses. If this is done his work will be greatly facilitated. *** WE are in receipt of the “Patriot”, a leading Brisbane paper, and from it we take the following cutting, which appears under a splendid portrait of Mr Frank Jolly, of Frankston:— “Skater versus Pedestrian” — Recently Mark Gilbert, the skater, challenged Frank Jolly, the sprinter, to a race over four laps of 135 yards each— Jolly getting a start of one lap or in other words 135 yards in 540 yards. The event took place on August 21st, at the Brisbane Roller Rink, when there was a large gathering to witness the race, including many of the fair sex; and when Jolly won easily by nearly a lap it was seen that the result was a popular one. The winner is local representative of the Vacuum Oil Company Ltd., and a well known ex- Victorian sprinter; while Gilbert hails from Manchester, England, and has a big Brisbane reputation as a skater. *** THE Peninsula Football Association held its final meeting for the season at Somerville, on Wednesday eve-

ning last, when delegates representing Mornington, Langwarrin, Naval Base, Somerville, Frankston, and Tyabb were present. Dromana and Hastings were unrepresented. A letter was received from Major Lloyd, enclosing donation of £1, which was received with thanks. The balance sheet was then read which showed receipts £155 10s 1d; expenditure, £138 18s 9d; credit balance, £16 11s 4d ; and after paying the two trophies of £5, and £2 10s left a balance of £8 13s 4d in the bank. Mr Jones moved that the fine of £2 2s be refunded to the Naval Base Club, on the grounds that the club contracting the fine was defunct, seconded by Mr Barnes. After the matter had been fully discussed the motion was lost on the show of hands. After the routine business had been finished, the President said he had much pleasure in declaring Mornington club premiers for 1915, and Langwarrin runners up. The Mornington club had been in the association since its formation, and this was the first time they had won, and they were proud of their victory. Mr Wesley responded on behalf of the Mornington Club, and Guard Fletcher also responded on behalf of the Guards. Votes of thanks were passed to the President and Secretary, to which both gentlemen responded, and the meeting terminated. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 September, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Tips for surviving a public transport strike By Stuart McCullough ‘PLAN your journey’. This advice flashed at me as I set off for work on Friday. In big urgent letters, the sign warned of the impending train strike while also offering sage counsel as how to best respond to the imminent crisis. But of course! Plainly, my preferred approach of not planning my journey would no longer suffice. Stepping outside my front door and letting anarchy ensue simple does not cut the mustard in these strike-plagued times. A different approach is called for. Until now, it has never occurred to me to plan my journey. Usually, I just get my things and set off, hoping for the best and generally arriving at my preferred destination several weeks after I was first expected. Sure, it’s inefficient but I believed Robert Frost when he said that taking the road less travelled had made all the difference even if it also made him chronically late. Until now, getting from A to B has been something of a magical mystery tour that has taken in C, D, E and various other parts of the alphabet in between. To be honest, I was expecting that my trip to work would be a car park that rolled forward a metre or two from time to time and one in which my usual travel experience was painfully extended. It wasn’t like that at all. In fact, there was less traffic than normal. It could only mean that a large number of fellow commuters had either decided to work from home or taken the day off. They had, it seems, planned their journey by abandoning it altogether. There have, of course, been public transport strikes throughout history. People often forget that the only

reason it took Odysseus ten years to return home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy was because of a snap tram strike. Clearly, Odysseus did not plan his journey. When Johnny Cash sang, I Walk the Line, it was something only made possible because there were no trains running. Not that this is much comfort when the Frankston to Flinders Street service vanishes for hours on end. Having been told to plan my journey, there was little else for me to do other than to take this advice to heart. I poured over maps, I stared at the heavens in a desultory attempt to predict the weather and I wet my finger before

holding it aloft to see if I could tell which direction these ill-winds were blowing. But no matter how much effort I put into these activities, there was simply no getting around the fact that I was ‘here’ and I needed to get ‘there’. Frankly, no amount of planning could change that stark fact. My first attempt left much to be desired. The initial draft of my plan saw me get from the house to Caulfield Station by riding on a donkey. There I would use an invisible sword to ward off evil spirits before training a dragon that I had doted on since infancy until it was willing to wear a saddle and fly me the rest of the way to the office.

As planned journeys go, mine was exquisite. But if it had a fault at all, it was (perhaps) slightly impractical and not as time efficient as it could have been. In terms of being late to work, telling your boss that it took you longer to train your dragon than you had first anticipated is rarely going to be viewed as an acceptable excuse. Perhaps I’ve got it all wrong. Maybe I’m being far too linear about it all. When the sign told me to ‘plan’ my journey, it could well be that this was not literally a direction to stare at a map for hours on end as though I was planning to deposit troops on the beaches of Normandy but a more philosophical

suggestion. ‘Plan your journey’, much like ‘Count your blessings one by one’ is not something to be taken literally – it’d take you all afternoon. In fact, perhaps ‘plan your journey’ is not so much a piece of advice as it is a musical suggestion. Without a moment to lose, I quickly downloaded Don’t Stop Believin’ by American rock group Journey. I would plan my journey by creating a playlist containing the only song by the band Journey that I know. To be quite honest, I feel conflicted. While according to the internet, Don’t Stop Believin’ is an anthem that contains one of the greatest opening keyboard riffs of all time, it’s not really to my taste. The fact that it’s just over four minutes long means that I’ll need to listen to it roughly forty seven times on my way in to work. This, I feel, is unlikely to do much for my mood. Let’s be honest: public transport strikes suck. On Friday at a rally of striking workers, one of the union officials was quoted as saying that this would be a long campaign as it was ‘a marathon, not a sprint’. To be fair, it’s only a marathon because the train from the city to Frankston isn’t operating. It seems we’re in it for the long haul and that there will be a lot more journeys to plan in the weeks ahead. If we are heading back to the 1970s, perhaps we can do so in a more complete sense. Along with public transport strikes, maybe we can look forward to other things that made the seventies great, like flared trousers, power blackouts and stagflation. Here’s hoping. Until then, don’t stop believin’. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

MUNSTER TERRACE RACK UP THIRTY YEARS OF ENTERTAINING Peninsula based rock band Munster Terrace have been performing around the traps for 30 years now, and they will be celebrating this milestone with a special show at the Rye RSL on Saturday the 12th of September. The band first formed in 1985, and their debut gig was on the 7th of May of that year (supporting The Saints on their return to Australia after some years based in the U.K). It took a year or so for the early version of “Munster” to find its’ feet, but by late 1986 the line-up was stable, and the band was a full-time proposition. During the late 80s and early 90s Munster Terrace were regulars at venues all over the peninsula, with long-term residencies at locations such as The Continental Hotel – Sorrento, The Rye Hotel, The Rosebud Hotel, The Flinders Hotel, both The Westernport and Kings Creek Hotels in Hastings, The Cruz Club in Mornington, The Somerville Hotel, The Baxter Tavern, The Vines (Daveys) in Frankston, and Kelly’s Hotel in Cranbourne (to name but a few). Although classic rock covers were featured in the live repertoire, the band’s focus during this time was on original material, and two of the band’s first three singles received “mainstream” attention. The first Single - Rollin’ made the MMM (EON F.M) playlist, and the third - Real Human Being received national exposure via MTV. The Late 90s and early 00s saw the band move more towards corporate functions, though residencies continued at some of the previously mentioned venues, as well as at places like the Coolstores in Mooroduc.

Western Port News 8 September 2015

A second Album “The Transition” was released during this time, as well as Munster originals being featured on two compilation albums. Munster Terrace haven’t officially released any new original material since 2003’s “Storybook” Album, but they continue to write/compose, and continue to perform high energy showcases of classic rock covers. Venues at which the band has performed regularly in more recent years include: The Retronome, Rye – (which has now become Baha), Beaches in Mornington, and (of course) their current “home base” - The Rye RSL. All up, the band has clocked up 1200 gigs since its debut, and (needless to say) these figures would indicate that a huge number of peninsula dwellers/visitors have been entertained by Munster Terrace over the years. To survive for 30 years, and to remain a popular live act for all that time is surely a fair effort by anyone’s standards, and the band feels it’s a milestone worth celebrating. So – “The Munsters” are inviting everyone to come along and celebrate with them in a night of live classic rock music, memories, and with a few special surprises thrown in... These include a concert–style lighting spectacular supplied by South Coast Mobile Discos, and also appearances by some special guest artists that have played a role in Munster’s journey. There is no cover charge, and no booking requirements if you intend to turn up for the show only, but if you’d like to secure a table for a pre-show meal; reservations can be made via 59852595.

scoreboard Buds are burning hot NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt ROSEBUD is now raging hot favourite to win the Nepean Division premiership after beating Somerville for the third time this season. The Buds led for all but two minutes of the second quarter of Saturday’s second semi final at Rye’s RJ Rowley Reserve, eventually winning 10.17 (77) to 9.7 (61). While the Buds advanced straight to the grand final, Somerville will play Sorrento in this Saturday’s preliminary final at Tyabb. Rosebud was always in control of the match against Somerville and never looked as though they were going to lose it. Coming off a bye and two 100 plus point wins against Hastings and Tyabb in their last two matches had zero impact on the Buds, who won the game with bigger, stronger bodies and a greater desire for the contest. The likes of Rohan Forrest, Nick Boswell, Greg Bentley, Jason Bristow, Brad McDonald and Rhys Bancroft were just too strong and powerful for their Somerville opponents. The Eagles love to get on the outside and run and carry the footy, however at no stage were they given that opportunity on Saturday. Rosebud coach Nick Jewell wanted a tough, inside game of footy and that’s exactly what he got. Somerville has averaged 16 goals a match this season but on three occasions in 2015, they have not been able to boot more than nine against Rosebud. Rosebud’s defence was superb. Keegan Downie, who is a natural forward and started in attack, found himself in defence minding Luke Rowe. Rowe had zero impact on the match, such was the great job that Downie did. Seb Kremich smashed Billy Rolfe, Matt Baker dominated Tommy Shaw and the likes of Daniel Wilson, Nick Boswell, Jack Jarman and Kurtis Corrin ran the ball out of the Rosebud defensive zone with ease and precision. Nick Boswell was brilliant. He gained more meterage than any other player on the ground, waltzing around opponents and steaming out of defence as though the Eagles’ forwards were witches hats. Every time Tom Baker went near the footy, he had two or three opponents, which allowed Lachy Armstrong to get on his bike and be the ‘go to’ at high half forward. He worked tirelessly. In the ruck, Ben Dwyer was clearly the best big man on the ground. He dominated against both Justin Farrelly and Scott Simpson. His work around the ground was also outstanding. The best player on the park was Forrest. He finished with more than 25 touches and three goals. His work at stoppages was simply awesome. He was unstoppable. The Somerville playmakers were all well beaten. Tim McGennis had just 19 possessions, many of which were ineffective. Rowan Hogenbirk had 17 and was more dangerous in attack than he was on the ball. There is no doubt that he is still struggling with the thigh injury and has no power to break away from stoppages. Josh Collie was quiet with 13 touches and Justin Allsop had nine. Adrian Speedy and Ben Sedgewick were clearly the best players for Somerville, while Josh Westerman was also superb, either across half back or through the middle of the ground. The Eagles just didn’t have the ability to work their way out of the tough situation. Players got frustrated with the lack of space and constant pressure. Some were simply unable to find another gear. The reality is that finals footy is completely different. When Sorrento turned up the heat in the last quarter in Somerville’s first final, they wiltered under the pressure. Luckily, the Eagles were able to sneak home. On Saturday against Rosebud, the Eagles couldn’t handle the pressure again. This doesn’t come down to ability, it comes down to mental toughness. Somerville has a very short amount of time to develop a tougher mindset to be able to cope with the pressure. Sorrento will get another crack at Somerville in this Saturday’s preliminary final after tipping Red Hill out of the finals on Sunday. The Sharks proved yet again that they can never be underestimated, jumping the Hillmen early and going on to record a comfortable 18.8 (116) to 9.16 (70) victory. The Sharks were never troubled by the Hillmen, who went into the game as favourites. Red Hill had the aid of the breeze in the final quarter but Sorrento pushed hard against the breeze and recorded a solid victory. Somerville has beaten Sorrento on three occasions this season, however, the Sharks will go into Saturday’s prelim chock-full of confidence.

Constant pressure: Somerville had no answer for Rosebud’s pressure game, losing by 16 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst Western Port News 8 September 2015

The steamrolling Stonecats PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE Frankston YCW freight train continued to steamroll anything in its path on Saturday at Frankston Park, belting Mornington by 89 points in the Peninsula Division qualifying final. After resting up to eight players last week in the final home and away game of the season, the Stonecats came out firing from the first bounce on Saturday and eventually humiliated the team that almost snatched a premiership from them at the same venue last year. I have been saying it for months and have been accused of being disrespectful to the other teams in the competition, however I reiterate again, this is the most powerful side that I have seen on the peninsula in more than a decade. It’s going to take a special performance from a very good footy team to prevent YCW from tasting the ultimate success. The Stonecats do not have a weak link. They have bigger, stronger bodies than any other team, they have a wonderful blend of experience and young, raw, talent and they have outside midfielders who are well over 6.3’. Frankston YCW booted 10 goals in the opening half and 13 in the second. More impressively though was the fact that they restricted the opposition to just nine goals for the match. The 23.13 (151) to 9.8 (62) final

score was nothing more than embarrassing for Mornington. The Dogs are supposed to be among the top three teams in the competition. They certainly didn’t play like they were. Mornington kicked the first goal of the match and led but the moment of excitement was short lived for Doggies’ supporters. Mornington was that disappointed in the efforts of their team that they didn’t even register their goal kickers or best players after the game. From a club perspective, that was a poor reflection of the leadership of the club. The Frankston YCW team manager Kevin Mulvogue on the other hand got cramps in his fingers given the even spread of performances from his team. Anthony Bruhn is at home at Frankston Park and he booted seven goals for the winners on Saturday, while David Bodley and Lew Roberts booted three each. A further seven players contributed on the scoreboard. Craig Nankervis is one of the most unheralded players in the competition, however, rarely does he put in a bad game and he always gives his coach Scott Mathers everything he has in the tank. Jessie Coghlan and Ryan Santon were dominant and Ash Eames succeeded in his efforts to make a point that he believed he was the best big man in the competition. The Stonecats will go into this Saturday’s preliminary final against Mt Eliza full of confidence after belting

the Redlegs the last time they played. Edithvale-Aspendale led all day in the elimination final to knock Pines out of the 2015 season. The Eagles went into the game without key players in Aaron Pawel in the ruck and Matt Kremmer up forward. However, despite the structural effects, Mick Meehan booted four goals and Jarrod Garth three for the Eagles while Todd Woodbridge dominated on the wing. Woodbridge had three opponents for the afternoon and was given enormous body pressure from the persistent Luke Holdcroft, however, withstood the attention and racked-up the possessions. Brett O’Hanlon helped Edithvale set up the victory in the third quarter after leading by just four points at three quarter time. With the aid of the breeze, the Eagles booted 4.9 to 3.1 in the third quarter to set-up a 24 point lead. Pines had 19 inside 50m entries in the last quarter and got within 13 points, however Darcy Warke booted his third goal on the siren to hand the Eagles a 14.12 (96) to 10.17 (77) victory. Guy Hendry booted five goals for the Pythons, while Aaron Edwards worked tirelessly at both ends of the ground. Skipper Beau Hendry was also very good for the red and green in the back half. The Eagles will play Mornington in the First Semi Final next week.

By Toe Punt THE Peninsula and Nepean Teams of the Year will be announced at MPNFL presentation dinners over the next couple of weeks. Coaches were asked to provide ‘their’ team of the year, based on the matches they had seen in season 2015. Media commentators Brent Clinnick and yours truly, Toe Punt, also put together a team based on the enormous amount of footy we have seen this season. In Peninsula, there were a total of 66 players nominated in the squad. In Nepean, there were 60 players nominated. It was then my responsibility to put the teams together. This was done based on the number of ‘votes’ that players received from coaches. Players with the most number of votes automatically made the team. Where there were players with an equal number of votes, I looked at whether their own coach nominated them. This was used mainly for the interchange players, as the large majority of the starting 18 in both teams picked themselves, based on the number of votes they received. As always, the selected team is sure to raise plenty of discussion.
