Campaign for CEO jobseekers

Benefits flow from simple question WESTERN Port Secondary students Bridget Kupsch, Madi Watson-Bell, Zoe Mitchell, Sarah Freeman-Wright, Elanor Rich and Rebecca Johns had fun having their photos taken by Madison Morrisey as part of the school’s R U OK? day last week.

The event was coordinated by college wellbeing staff Donna Nairn and Monique DeRoche, along with year

10 leaders and support from other college staff.

This Thursday’s national R U OK? day is dedicated to reminding people to regularly “check in” with family, friends and colleagues by asking if they are OK in a meaningful way.

“Connecting regularly and meaningfully is one thing everyone can do to make a difference and possibly save

lives,” the coordinators said.

The college’s activities included a lunchtime event in the gym with students playing staff in a netball match, a talk by principal Michael Devine, music by the school drum group and sausage sizzle to raise money for another community initiative: working with residents of the Bays Nursing Home.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy believes he is “the very best person” to continue in the role he has held for the past 15 years.

A newspaper advertisement campaign for the job launched on Saturday said the successful applicant would need to “deliver inspirational and visionary leadership”.

Whoever gets the $350,000 a year job will also be expected to “drive strategic change” and have the “ability to see things from a fresh perspective”.

One day after councillors surprisingly decided to test the market rather than reappoint him, Dr Kennedy emailed staff – “team-mates” – with the results of his annual performance review.

He said his performance had been rated “Very Good, with strong achievement in his performance criteria and exceeding expectations”, adding that the rating “accurately reflects my/ our performance over 2013/14, and is consistent with council’s assessment of my performance over many years”.

The email notifying staff that he would apply to continue as CEO was followed nine days later on 21 Augusr by a news release from the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, stating that Dr Kennedy’s performance had exceeded expectations.

Looking forward: Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Antonella Celi and CEO Michael Kennedy have sought to highlight results of the CEO’s annual performance review. Picture: Yanni

“All councillors have contributed to a robust and balanced assessment, and have once again rated Dr Michael Kennedy as very good, with strong achievements in his performance criteria and exceeding expectations,” Cr Celi said.

The CEO is the only member of staff directly appointed by councillors.

Dancers to hit the bright lights… of Disneyland Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WHAT better way for a successful dance school to celebrate its 10th birthday than to perform at Disneyland. Yes, the Disneyland at Anaheim, California.

Thirty students from Dance Lab, Somerville, aged 7-15, will leave for the US on 20 September to perform before thousands of visitors at one of the world’s great tourist attractions.

They will dance at the famous Main St parade, California Adventure Park, Universal Studios and Hollywood Blvd.

The students will be accompanied by two teachers and many parents – a party of 97 on the 10-day tour.

One of the parents, Tanya Walsh, said her daughter Page, 10, was thrilled to be going. “She can’t wait,” she said.

“She’s been at the school since she was three and a half and most of the children started at that age.”

When asked why the school chose Disneyland, she said: “Why not? Miss Emily [principal Emily Grainger] looked at a few things we could do to celebrate the studio turning 10 – something different that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – and Disneyland won.”

Planning for the trip started two years ago with the students keen to entertain what will be an international audience. “They have been rehearsing really hard on their routines and given up a lot of their free time,” Ms Walsh said.

They will perform jazz style dances in two 30-minute performances at California Adventure Park, in the

Performing Arts – something they anticipate will take their dance skills to new heights.

The dance school started 10 years ago in Pearcedale, and moved to Somerville in 2008. Big things are on the horizon: next year they will move into a purpose-built studio in Guelph St, Somerville.

Main St Parade, and in two other routines in the Showcase at California Adventure Park, which is a separate audition they only found out about a fortnight ago. They will then put on a single performance on Hollywood Blvd.

The students then have two dance workshops - with The Edge Performing Arts Hollywood and Disney

lucky enough to be travelling to the US can see them at a showcase at the Cranbourne Community Theatre on Saturday.

The school runs two end-of-year concerts at the Frankston Arts Centre, competes in a number of competitions throughout the year, and runs free pre-school classes with local kindergartens.

Mental focus for art exhibition ESTABLISHED and budding artists living with a mental illness are being encouraged to submit their work to this year’s Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Mental Health Week Art Exhibition.

The exhibition is run by Mental Illness Fellowship Victoria, which showcases the talents of local artists living with a mental illness.

Last year’s winner of the People’s Choice Award, Brett Greener, is encouraging other artists from the area to give the competition a go.

“With every new piece of art I get better and learn new things. I think I’m doing well for just painting for a year and a half, but have drawn all my life,” Greener said.

Mental illness fellowship regional manager Marinette Dames said art is a “fantastic tool” to help on the road to recovery.

The exhibition is open to all artists living with mental illness in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region and there is no entry fee.

Each artist should include with their entry a statement describing the ways in which creativity benefits their mental health recovery.

The closing date for submissions is Friday 12 September. For details contact Kylie Docksey, Kath Blommestein or Katyana Dunston on 9784 6800.

The exhibition runs Wednesday, 1 October to Saturday, 11 October at Cube 37, Frankston Arts Centre. The winner of the People’s Choice Award 2014 will be announced on Thursday, 2 October at the opening ceremony, 6pm to 8pm.

Driver hurt as truck rolls PEAK hour traffic was thrown into chaos after a fully-laden concrete truck rolled over at the busy intersection of Western Port Highway and Robinsons Rd, Pearcedale, on Thursday afternoon.

Emergency services teams worked for more than an hour to free the trapped driver, who was seriously injured in the incident, by cutting away the roof of the truck’s cabin. He was airlifted to The Alfred hospital by an ambulance helicopter in a stable condition after suffering pelvic injuries in the crash.

The Central Pre-mix Concrete truck rolled over after making a right-hand turn from the Western Port Highway into Robinsons Rd about 3.50pm.

The intersection has been the site of numerous collisions and traffic snarls, despite the completion of a $1.7 upgrade in 2012. Local residents say the upgrade has done little to help alleviate issues at the intersection and have called for construction of a roundabout to control traffic. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Western Port News 9 September 2014

Women, children key to poll Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Community Legal Centre has joined an alliance of leading Victorian community organisations aiming to push family violence to the top of the state election agenda.

The legal service is a member of the Victorian Family Violence Alliance, a group of leading family violence organisations calling on the state’s political parties to commit to wide-ranging policies across housing, justice, police, health, education and other portfolios to keep women and children safe from family violence in Victoria.

Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway said the alliance’s No More Deaths campaign aimed to put family violence at the forefront of political debate top in the lead-up to November’s state election.

“We are acutely aware of the harm caused to individuals and the wider community by family violence, and the need for far-reaching and systemic change in how family violence is addressed,” Ms Galloway said.

“We are still reeling from the shocking family violence deaths that have occurred in our community. In 2013 alone, there were 29 family violence deaths in Victoria.

“Family violence is the second most common legal issue affecting our clients and can include physical assault, threats, sexual assault, harm to pets and property, emotional, psychological and financial abuse.

“It is also horrifying to consider that, in one in three cases reported to police, children witness family violence.”

Peninsula Community Legal Cen-

tre operates a duty lawyer service for family violence intervention orders at Frankston Magistrates’ Court three days a week, as well as assisting clients affected by family violence through its offices in Frankston, Rosebud, Cranbourne and Frankston North.

The No More Deaths campaign callson all political parties to support 25 key “asks” focused on keeping women and children safe and housed, making the justice system safe and supportive, holding violent perpetrators to account, breaking down “system silos” that endanger women and children, and preventing all forms of violence against women and children.

The campaign is supported by the Federation of Community Legal Centres, Domestic Violence Resource Centre Victoria, Domestic Violence Victoria, Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service, Women’s Legal Service Victoria, No to Violence and Women with Disabilities Victoria.

Domestic Violence Victoria CEO Fiona McCormack said the state election provided a critical focal point for drawing attention to the need for reform in how society addresses family violence.

“Our hearts have been torn by the horrific violence we see devastating the lives of everyday Victorians,” Ms McCormack said. “Throughout the election campaign, we will assess commitments on family violence for how they compare to other public safety and justice promises.

“What we don’t want are promises of quick fixes or a focus on just one part of the problem. Our political leaders have to stand up and be counted, to see where failure by governments to act – on safe housing, in the courts, on the status of

women and across other areas of policy and practice – puts women and children at risk of family violence.”

ALP candidate for Nepean Carolyn Gleixner agreed domestic violence deserved to be at the top of the agenda in the upcoming election campaign.

She said rising crime rates across Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula were being fuelled in part by domestic violence, showing the need for urgent action.

“It is a shocking fact that family violence is the main contributor to death, disability and injury in Australian women under the age of 45, generates years of devastation for families, and can lead to the tragic death of children,” Ms Gleixner said.

“These statistics translate into very real and traumatic situations. It’s simply not good enough.”

She said she was especially concerned about the closure of services on the peninsula that had provided support to victims of family violence.

“We have lost the prevention and crisis intervention of Elida Radig’s Domestic Violence Service and Women’s Resource Centre in Rye, which was a fantastic support to the local community.”

She added that she was a “strong supporter” of the ALP’s commitment to set up a Royal Commission into family violence, as well as the range of other initiatives proposed by the opposition.

However, the Coalition government said it was already on the front foot in addressing family violence, with a raft of new policies and initiatives recently unveiled, including the Action Plan to Address Violence Against Women and Children, which is supported by an investment of more than $100 million in 2014-15.

Hooked on Tyabb “Hey, what are you doing in Tyabb, mate?”

“Aw, just hanging around.”

Is this flying fox an advance scout from Bairnsdale where his cousins are in plague proportions? Or perhaps he took a wrong turn flying home to Yarra Bend on the Yarra, or decided he’d like to take a look at the scenery on the peninsula.

Let’s hope this one was able to unhook itself safely from the barbed wire fence on a property in Coolart Rd, Tyabb.

Racing club unveils its new ‘face’ THIS year’s Face of the Mornington Racing Club, Caitrin O’Rourke, is no stranger to racecourses.

The 29-year-old nurse from Ireland relocated to Australia two years ago and has always had a keen interest in horse racing.

“My dad and brothers had shares in horses in Ireland and I have been doing show jumping and racing since I was a lass. While I was putting myself through uni I rode track work for trainers to earn extra money,” said Ms O’Rourke, who lives next to the Mornington Racecourse with her partner, racecourse vet Eoin Kelly.

Ms O’Rourke arrived in Melbourne two years ago on Peninsula Cup Day and spent her first seven days at seven different race meetings.

“In my first week here, I spent all my time at Moonee Valley and then Mornington,” she said.

“While I was waiting for my nursing registration, I worked for Pat Carey in Mornington and Gai Waterhouse at Randwick doing track work.

“I have ridden races in Ireland and some charity races and still do work around the racecourse.

“I was attracted to Mornington because that’s where Eoin is based and have loved making it my new home. I can understand why so many people from Ireland and England have moved here.”

As a paediatric nurse at The Royal Children’s Hospital, Ms O’Rourke says racing and fashion provide a great outlet.

“I love getting dressed up to go to the races and am looking forward to

representing the local community.

I like to shop locally and support peninsula boutiques and milliners,” she said.

“Although I have competed in a few fashions on the field, this is the first time I have applied for anything like this and can’t wait to start attending functions and putting outfits together.”

Ms O’Rourke said that when it comes to fashion, it is best to stick with what works for you.

“Style is a very individual thing and it’s important to stay with what suits you,” she said.

“This spring carnival we will see bold floral prints, bold colours like bright yellows and acid orange as well as prints like houndstooth.

“My personal style is classical with nice dresses and I always seem to wear pearls.

“The most important thing is to wear what you feel comfortable and confident in. If you have a long day at the races make sure your shoes fit you well and are comfortable like wedges instead of stilettos.”

As the new Face of Mornington Racing Club, Ms O’Rourke receives a 12-month modelling and management contract, pampering and style packages and $500 cash.

She will also have the opportunity to attend fashion and race day events and be involved in on-stage interviews and hosting events, trophy presentations, media interviews and fashions on the field competitions.

Judges felt that Ms O’Rourke’s international horse racing experience, dedication to learning the ropes, savvy fashion sense, outgoing personality

Emergency help HASTINGS SES was among 35 volunteer emergency services organisations in Victoria to receive new equipment thanks to an annual AAMI equipment handover program.

SES volunteers David Woodfine and Chris Driver were on hand to accept a portable fluorescent lighting kit, spine board strap set, two winches, an airbag and an eFlares kit.

The men encourage other members of the community to join the SES “to challenge themselves, learn new skills and meet some fantastic people”.

The SES is the state’s control agency for flood, storm, earthquake and tsunami emergencies, and can call on 5000 volunteers to keep their communities safe in times of need.

As well as emergency response, volunteers help educate and prepare their neighbours for hazards and perform accredited training year-round to keep their skills sharp.

Ice charges POLICE allege a 22-year-old man from Narre Warren South had a quantity of the drug ice hidden in his clothing when arrested at the Seawinds car park, Arthurs Seat, on Tuesday 26 August at 3.30am. He was bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrate's Court.

On course: Mornington Racing Club’s Face of Racing Caitrin O’Rourke is a racecourse regular, both in the fashion and horse riding stakes.

Remanded

and natural beauty meant she was the perfect candidate to front the promotion of Mornington Racecourse.

“Caitrin wowed us with her extensive experience and extreme passion for horseracing, not only in Victoria but throughout the world, and has a keen eye for racing fashion

A 44 year old Frankston man was arrested on Arthurs Seat on Thursday 28 August at 12.40am after the drug GHB was allegedly found in his car along with a large quantity of cash.

He was arrested and charged with trafficking and remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrate's Court.

which will be a huge asset in her new role at Mornington,” racecourse manager Angela Cleland said.

Ms O’Rourke’s first appearance in her new role is at Sportingbet Peninsula Cup Day on Sunday 3 November.

Nights of footy fever and story-telling A SERIES of boys’ only storytelling nights to be held at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s libraries will celebrate “footy fever�.

The stories will be about everything footy, so those joining the ‘boys’ only zone’ should prepare to be entertained. “The story-telling nights are open to fathers, grandfathers, uncles, older brothers, carers and significant others to join the young men in their lives for some footy-flavoured storytelling,� Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi said. “These free events will include dinner, games and prizes, a tour of the library and footy stories hosted by a story teller. “Storytelling is a great way to engage, and it inspires people to share and tell more of their own stories. The sessions are sure to be welcoming and fun – and don’t forget to wear your favourite footy colours on the night!�

Session times are from 6.30-8.30pm this Friday at Mornington library; Friday 19 September at Hastings library, and Friday 26 September at Rosebud library.

Story telling sessions are open to young people aged 10-16 who must be accompanied by a significant male figure (for example, their father, uncle, older brother or grandfather). Those attending should wear their favourite football team’s colours. “Footy Fever� story telling sessions are presented by the Mornington Peninsula Literacy Villages Project and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Youth Services and Library Services teams.

Applications for the shire CEO position being advertised by the Slade Group recruitment firm close 28 September.

As reported in The News on 19 August (“CEO’s job to be advertised�) the decision to seek other candidates for the shire’s top job weas made behind closed doors at a “special� Special Purposes Committee Meeting.

It is understood that just three of the 10 councillors at the meeting voted to reappoint Dr Kennedy.

The shire media release about the councillors’ decision on the CEO was emailed at 10.21am the next day. It was followed 17 minutes later by Dr Kennedy’s “Team-mates� email to staff.

The decision to not advertise the job was made in the lead-up to a byelection to fill the then vacant Red Hill ward seat, subsequently won by Cr Tim Wood.

Dr – then Mr – Kennedy was hired as CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999. He was reappointed in 2004, 2008 and 2012, with controversy surrounding the 2004 and 2008 reappointments.

Concern was also expressed about the 2012 reappointment, many in the community feeling the market should be tested to see what calibre of applicant might be attracted to the job, which pays more than most state premiers get.

The 2008 concern culminated in an Ombudsman’s inquiry in 2009, sparked by community complaints about the reappointment process, especially that of 2004.

Then Victorian Ombudsman George Brouwer found the reappointment was lawful. But he criticised the shire’s handling of requests made under freedom of information law.

He recommended changes in how the shire dealt with FOI applications and urged counselling for then corporate support manager Noel Buck and for Dr Kennedy. Mr Buck was counselled; Dr Kennedy was not.

Archibald prize winners on show at gallery

Time together: Peter and Joan Goode celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with family and friends.

Matchmakers score one for the ages SOMERS couple Joan and Peter Goode were guests of honour at a recent family gathering to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.

Their first meeting was not left to chance by matchmakers on both sides who schemed to bring them together.

The big day was in Faversham, Kent, in southern England on 1 April 1952. Peter, a mechanic, had been sent to the bank with the day’s takings so he could “check out” a teller called

Joan, who had supposedly “sent Peter her love”.

Everything clicked and the couple began dating before marrying just two years later. They produced two sons and, in 1964, decided to migrate to Australia as part of the “£10 Pom” migrant program.

After settling in Victoria, they moved to Benaraby, Queensland, in 1969 to run a roadside service station and restaurant. The next year they

moved back to Frankston before moving to Somers in 1982 to live on a one hectare property called Lavender Hill.

They have always been active in the community, helping to fundraise for the local branches of the Red Cross and Country Women’s Association.

Joan and Peter have enjoyed a memorable 60 years together and look forward to becoming first time great grandparents this Christmas.

WINNERS of this year’s Archibald Prize are coming to Mornington.

Works being exhibited at the Mornington Peninsula Gallery at Civic Reserve include Fiona Lowry’s prizewinning portrait of Penelope Seidler, which earned her $75,000, and by the former Archibald winner Tim Storrier, who won the Packing Room Prize with his work The Member, Dr Sir Leslie Colin Patterson KCB, AO. The Archibald is one of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious art prizes.

As well as the Archibalds, the gallery will have a licenced cafe marquee serving drinks, snacks and meals.

There will be merchandise in the shop

Shire’s new epoch starts with a whimper

By David Harrison Special Special Purposes Committee meeting, Mornington Peninsula Shire offices, Besgrove St, Rosebud, Monday 1 September (the first day of spring) QUESTION: Why would Council Watch have turned up to a closed-to-the-public council meeting, the ̔Special’ Special Purposes Committee Meeting (SSPC) of 1 September?

Answer: Because he had heard that this was going to be an even more special ̔Special’ Special Purposes Committee Meeting – it was likely to be open to the public. And that made it very special indeed. An epoch starter, in fact.

And so it turned out. But, other than ushering in the new epoch, it was a bit of a fizzer, more whimper than bang, involving a deferral of council business, a bit of confusion and possibly what was intended to be a Death Stare aimed at CW. Special purposes committee meetings are usually in-camera affairs, whose agendas begin by telling the public that “All reports, information and recommendations … have been designated by the Chief Executive Officer as confidential” and that “The Committee may resolve that the meeting be closed to members of the public”.

The official minutes of this SSPC begin thus, then record: “Meeting closed to the public”, in capital letters. This was a motion to exclude the public, moved by Cr Anne Shaw and seconded

by Cr Antonella Celi.

Then (stick with CW; this is epoch-making

stuff) Cr Celi moved a procedural motion, that debate begin. It lapsed for want of a seconder. The substantive motion, to exclude the public, was lost, meaning that the meeting had not been deemed confidential.

Epoch-making because the council old guard had been outvoted by the new guard, which now includes new Red Hill ward councillor Tim Wood.

So, a SSPC that was not confidential!

Behold the shining dawn of a new, open and transparent epoch. Or era, if you prefer.

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have over the years done some of their best work behind closed doors, out of sight and sound of ratepayers, with heavy penalties for any attendee, staff or councillor, caught leaking the proceedings.

It should be added swiftly and emphatically that closed meetings are essential for some council business. The trouble comes when, as shire CEO Michael Kennedy conceded recently, items he declares “confidential” can contain material that is not confidential and the meeting would thus need to be closed and opened repeatedly, like the front door of the Ritz Hotel. Not bureaucratically efficient, CW agrees. But necessary.

Back to the SSPC minutes. They record that confidential Item 3.1, “Refinancing of the 2013/2014 Commonwealth Bank of Australia Loan”, was deferred to the 8 September council meeting. Moved, Cr Hugh Fraser, seconded, Cr Tim Rodgers.

Carried, apparently after some spirited old guard resistance, CW believes. He had not at this stage arrived at the meeting, which closed at 5.42.

For the record, two councillors, Lynn Bowden and David Gibb were apologies.

Council now has two lawyers, Hugh Fraser and Tim Wood, around the table,

men with profound respect for dealing with the law in the bright spotlight of public scrutiny.

CW arrived after 5.42 and therefore was unaware that the SSPC had ended. Councillors were proceeding quietly with other business. CW took a seat, sole occupier of the gallery, and prepared to take notes.

“Excuse me, sorry, we’re in an informal meeting here, not a formal council meeting,” said meeting chair Cr David Garnock.

“So would you mind leaving? The SPC is finished.”

The SSPC meeting had been designated by the CEO as confidential, Cr Garnock said.

“No, we never went into camera,” Cr Graham Pittock interjected. “As it was a public meeting, we can tell you that the item has been deferred until next Monday.”

So CW packed up and left.

But not before an intent examination from the mayor Antonella Celi, sitting in the councillor semi-circle and quite adjacent to the gallery. The scrutiny, redolent of federal Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s famed Death Stare, lasted perhaps 30 seconds before she packed her papers and vacated the chamber.

As Death Stares go (if such it was), it needs work. Ms Bishop can, rumour has it, turn men hardened in the stoush of politics, state, federal and international, to pillars of salt, to sobbing, incoherent jellies, to useless husks, to catatonic blobs, with a Stare of just seconds.

Vlad Putin, beware. CW managed to exit the chamber as usual, an intact biped, capable of reporting another day. But he has been put on notice … with more practice the Stare might gain lethal voltage.

A special piggy bank FIVE giant piggy banks, each three metres in height and weighing in at 700 kilograms, will be travelling around the peninsula this month to raise money for children with life-threatening conditions.

The annual Very Special Kids Piggy Bank Appeal kicked off at Frankston RSL on last Friday (5 September).

Keep an eye out for the giant piggy banks as they stop at Red Hill Craft Market, Rye Hotel, Frankston Market, Commonwealth Bank in Rosebud, Commonwealth Bank in Mornington, Mornington Craft Market and Tully’s Corner Produce Store.

Very Special Kids supports 184 families in the Southern Metro region, and 830 across Victoria, that are caring for children with life-threatening conditions. With an office in Hastings, its services can be accessed from a child’s diagnosis through to recovery or bereavement, and include Victoria’s only children’s hospice, Very Special Kids House.

This year’s Piggy Bank Appeal aims to raise more than $1 million to enable the charity to continue operating its services.

Very Special Kids CEO Dr Sarah Hosking says the charity welcomes support from the Victorian community.

“Without generous donations from our community, we would not be able to offer much-needed services to these brave families,” she says.

You can make a donation or purchase merchandise online at www.piggybankappeal.org.au A calendar of piggy stops can be found on the website.

Nature recorded through the lens Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PHOTOGRAPHER Will Salter’s studio can be full of light, darkened by shadows or even bent into fantastic shapes as if by a sudden and unavoidable storm.

And that’s the way he like it, because Salter’s preferred photographic environment is the great outdoors, with all its unpredictability.

Living on the Mornington Peninsula for the past seven years, commercial photographer Salter prefers to focus on fine art photographic prints of the land and sea.

Although it will not be credited, one of his prints is being used to adorn the wall of an office being turned into an apartment in the latest series of the television show, The Glasshouse Block.

“Unfortunately I am not at liberty to reveal which image was used on the show, and which couple used it until it goes to air,” Salter says.

A resident of Balnarring, Salter likes nothing better than to venture out into the storm with his Nikon D800E camera, watching the elements collide from the cliffs near Cape Schanck.

Everything is in motion and Salter watches for changes in light and texture to create a composition that, from a more tranquil perspective, gives the viewer a fleeting glimpse of beauty created by nature during what would be classed as an adverse time.

Salter says he has always been “the explorer and adventurer with an ability to vividly share his experiences

Setting the scene: Photographer Will Salter, top left, on the cliffs near Flinders overlooking Bass Strait Picture: Daryl Gordon; a track near Cape Schanck, top; and, above, a deciduous tree frames the posts of a nearby vineyard Pictures: Will Salter

through his photography”. “I feel most alive when [nature] is at its wildest, the wind is howling, or the sun is on the horizon,” he says.

“It’s this intimacy with the natural world that I want to share through my photographs to connect people with how they feel when out among the

elements.” He says a camera, “from a young age” has always been “the perfect companion”.

Salter’s photographic assignments started in 1995 and led to him shooting along the Zambezi River in Africa to winning the photographic rights to the Commonwealth Games baton

relay travelling across 71 nations.

Having travelled with his camera across Africa, Asia, Europe, Antarctica and the Pacific – Salter says he finds “just as much meaning and adventure in such places as he now does in his local environment”.

“It’s not about where you are, but

about being able to connect people to appreciate the natural world around them, wherever they may be.”

Salter’s limited edition photographic prints are exhibited at Cook Street Collective, Flinders, or go to willsalter@willsalter.com

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro YOU can smell it, you can see and you can feel it. Spring is here, excitement bounds, AFL finals, horse racing and snapper fishing.

In the bays - Port Phillip and Western Port - the water warms and the fishing heats up. All of the popular table fish are caught and snapper are the prime target.

Snapper are part of Melbourne folk law, they are a local institution.

Tradies swap tool trailers for boat trailers, work is either completed at a rapid rate or not at all, people talk of marks, meters, rigs, rods, burley, bait, times and tides.

The first week of the AFL finals is the preparation time for the snapper fisher. Out in the shed listening to the footy, reels are oiled and respooled, rigs are tied. The boat battery is charged, oils, plugs and filters changed and trailer checked.

Outboards are tuned and serviced and weather patterns are followed like a prophet.

The key to success during fishing season are the five Ps: prior preparation prevents poor performance. Ten per cent of the anglers catch 90 per cent of the fish, so don't sit here reading my waffle. Start prepping. Get on your gear, outboard, safety equipment, trailer, boat, electronics, car, fresh bait and navigation lights all prepared.

Already we are getting a few early season snapper, the water temperature is still low but it's on rise. Squid, flathead, couta, leather jacket, red mullet and a few gummy sharks are about in

both bays.

Preseason is over, we're into the season proper now, time to get on board!

In southern Port Phillip there are some good sized squid. While the quantity factor for squid is to the mid (Safety beach-Point Cook) to north, the large squid are to the south.

Gummy sharks are also about in the southern channels along with the occasional snapper. Those fishing the weed beds are getting a few salmon, whiting and flathead.

The deep waters from Mt Martha to Carrum are seeing anglers landing a few early season snapper, there are a lot of baits between bites as the water temperature is still low.

From the piers squid have been consistent all over the peninsula, Flinders pier has good numbers of grass whiting, Sorrento has a few salmon and Mornington and Frankston are seeing the occasional garfish. Over the next two weeks land based anglers will start getting stuck into good snapper. Places worth a try are Mt Martha, Mornington Mordialloc and Black Rock.

In Western Port squid have been very good. From Flinders to Quail bank squid up to two kilograms have been common. Anglers drifting jigs over weed beds in two to five metres have been successful. In the deeper water gummy sharks have been about. Boat anglers fishing Eagle rock, Joes Island and Crawfish rock are getting some nice early season snapper to five kilograms, while occasionally tussling with a snapper shark (school shark) or two.

Heritage works

Handpicked wine the toast of the state

OWNERS of heritage houses may be able to carry out heritage conservation projects with the help of grants from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Individual grants range from around $1000 to $2500.

Eligible properties are those covered by an individual heritage overlay, or that are significant or contributory to heritage precincts, under the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme.

For details call the shire’s strategic planning team on 5950 1928. Applications close on 10 October.

BITTERN-based Handpicked Wines has made its mark at the inaugural VIC100 Wine Awards.

The 2013 Handpicked Collection Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir won two trophies at the VIC100 awards, a showcase of Victoria’s best wines.

The Handpicked wine was named ‘VIC1’ – Victoria’s best wine – and also took out the regional award for Best Mornington Peninsula Wine.

The wins follow Handpicked being named one of the top 10 “Best New Wineries 2015” by Australian wine critic, James Halliday, and its 2013

Early catch: Ian Kunq Loh caught this snapper off Mt Eliza.

Whiting have been quiet for the last few weeks but they'll come on over the next three weeks as the water warms.

pinot noir winning the Best Mornington Peninsula Red Wine trophy at the 2014 International Cool Climate Wine Show, held in May. Chief winemaker Gary Baldwin said Handpicked’s Capella Vineyard at Bittern had been chosen for its potential to produce premium pinot noir and chardonnay wines.

The VIC100 winning wine was made with fruit from Capella Vineyard and three other peninsula vineyards.

was the winery’s first vintage from vines at the Capella Vineyard and one of Mr Baldwin’s first wines as chief winemaker.

Handpicked also owns Highbow Hill Vineyard in the Yarra Valley and Watunga Road Vineyard in the Barossa Valley. It also has relationships with growers and winemakers overseas, including France, Italy, Spain and New Zealand, as well as Australian winemaking areas Margaret River, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Tasmania and Heathcote.

Indigenous stories A RADIO program featuring indigenous stories of the peninsula – from the past to the present – will go to air each Friday for six weeks.

This first-ever series of 12 interviews will run noon-1pm on 26 September.

The pre-recorded program Stories From Boon Wurrung Country was launched at Dromana Bay Life Saving Club last week after eight months in the making.

It features stories from the traditional owners Boon Wurrung, other members of the indigenous community and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Boonwurrung Foundation elder Carolyn Briggs sets the scene throughout the series which will be broadcast on local radio station RPP 98.7FM, which has its studios in Wilson St, Mornington.

Radio producer and presenter Sina Summers said the programs were “jampacked” with stories handed down through the ages, about people’s lifestyles and events – such as the melting of the ice age 9000 years ago and the subsequent forming of the bay and Bass Strait islands. “Did you know the bay was once a fertile plain?” she asked.

Different people will talk about their lives and important events they remember and others that have been passed down to them.

An indigenous archaeologist will speak about areas of interest to the Aborigines, another about Aborigines in the education system, while others will speak about their relationships with the shire.

“Each has a different story to share about their own journey,” Ms Summers said. “For me the challenge was to make them into stories.”

The sessions will focus on indigenous life on the peninsula, although the Boon Wurrung people traditionally roamed from Werribee right across to Wilson’s Promontory.

Trafficking A St Kilda man, 19, was allegedly found in possession of the drugs ecstasy, ice and cannabis when arrested on Wednesday 27 August at 12.40am.

He was taken to Rosebud police station where he was charged with trafficking. He was bailed to appear at Dromana Magistrate’s Court.

LETTERS

FMP BUSINESS BREAKFAST SERIES

MP upsetting I am totally incensed by the comments of Flinders MP Greg Hunt which stated that groups such as Preserve Western Port (PWP) have not been critical of Labor’s Bay West proposed port site at Geelong and the dredging required to make this viable (‘Call for government protection of the bay’, The News 2/9/14). PWP strongly maintains a non-political stance and avoids any comment on any other port project.

What hypocrisy for Mr Hunt to state that as Environment Minister he cannot act on the Hastings matter as “no firm proposal” is at hand, yet neither does anything similar exist for the Labor’s alternative. He cannot have it both ways.

May I strongly recommend that instead of taking cheap shots at groups trying their best to save the “beautiful part of the world” that he is “passionate about protecting”, (as per his 2013 pre-federal election material), Mr Hunt actually does something constructive to live up to this promise. Such as acting to save the 5000 Bass Coast, (plus thousands more on the peninsula) tourism jobs at risk.

Unlike Napthine and co spending $110 million of our taxpayers money on destroying Western Port, PWP and the other groups involved are doing it on a shoestring and, even if deep down and in marked contrast to his pre-election comments (core or non-core?) Mr Hunt doesn’t agree with our stance, he should at least respect it by refraining from such remarks as above.

I feel the peninsula ratepayers and general public should be aware of the problems that have arisen from the April 2014 maintenance/spruce up of Pelican Park Recreation Centre in Hastings and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s attempted rectification.

At Easter, the centre was closed for a week but days after reopening, paint started peeling from the newly painted steam room walls and ceiling.

This also occurred two years ago when the same works were carried out, resulting in another closure for a repaint.

I believe wall and ceiling replacements are to be carried out next month, which is great news, but this problem would never have recurred if lessons were learnt. Male and female change rooms underwent a thorough overhaul, including new cubicle doors and partitions which weren’t failing in any way that I know of. Painting in showers which started peeling within days, rough and untidy grouting in new tile work and slippery painted floors was some of the work done.

After many complaints, the floors had more grit added to curb the slip issue, but it has since deteriorated in looks. I do not know if the slip rating is being affected.

Paint has been removed from the showers, leaving plain concrete, which is great and practical, but we still have the issue of shower runoff crossing more than one cubicle to get to the main drain. Other people showering are standing in other peoples’ shower runoff.

A minor issue is with new and brighter lighting in the dressing area. Surely better lighting at the basins and mirrors would have been more sensible.

I have had much correspondence with the shire and am frustrated with the whole situation.

I wanted to go public some time ago but

thought I would wait for resolutions, which I feel now was an error of judgement.

Who is paying for all these essential rectifications resulting from poor workmanship and poor decision-making? The bulk of it would be from ratepayers I would guess.

Jenny Hutchinson, Hastings

Liberal trust I refer to Ken Dyer’s letter (‘Ludicrous Plan’, Letters – The News 26/8/14) and to other recent letters on the much-debated expansion of the Port of Hastings. Firstly, I wish to commend Hastings MP Neale Burgess on his full page advertisement “Why Hastings is the answer!” (The News Page 3, 26/8/14).

I wonder how many of the naysayers in our community have actually bothered to read it!.

Sure, Victorian governments have changed their tune on several occasions over many years as to the best location for a port. However, it must be remembered that forgetting the current Coalition’s term, we have had 21 years of Labor in 28 years of Victorian governments.

There’s also been a good number of stuff-ups along that road without naming the obvious culprits. We will be continuing to pay big bucks from our tax take for years to come thanks mainly to the past decisions of our Labor government.

The Port of Melbourne will run out of capacity in a decade or so and if we do nothing, or even contemplate the disaster that Labor is suggesting over the other side of Port Phillip, we might as well start to close down Victoria earlier in the day or take a daily siesta while the world moves on.

I love the Mornington Peninsula and would also love to see local and sustainable jobs for my grandchildren down this neck of the woods.

In the end, you have to put your trust in governments with some perceived ethics, and I have a much greater faith in those of a Liberal persuasion to do the right thing.

Barrie Macmillan, Somerville

No jobs in port The mind boggles when, after pointing to the incredible damage human interference at the catchments and swamps around Western Port has caused, Dick Cox seems to suggest that the dredging for the port of Hastings could be OK if only it would be done environmentally sensitively (‘Disaster here now’, Letters, The News 2/9/14). At the beginning of his letter he blames some of the damage to the bay on the removal of mangroves. That is exactly what is going to happen to the north of the existing port if [expansion] ever goes ahead.

The great worry for many environmentalists, fisher people and the tourist trade, is that Flinders MP and Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt will act as he has in the case of the coal port dredging in Queensland, and just let it pass, even against good advise from the scientist who should know. Or worse still, he’ll abrogate his responsibility for the environment nationally, to the vested interests of the states.

This port is not going to bring the thousands of local jobs as promised by real estate agents or politicians with vested interests or ideological barrows to push. This port will be almost completely automated, as will be the proposed transport links.

All we here in the Western Port region will get is a spoiled environment and the loss of tourism and recreational fishing.

This is no development for a Ramsar protected world heritage area.

Dick Cox trusts in the decency of vested multinational interests. I do not share that misplaced trust.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Crude oil spill The letter “Historical port” by Mike Lean, CEO of the Port of Hastings Development Authority (The News 26/8/14) contains a significant factual error. Mr Lean claims “it needs to be pointed out that the Port of Hastings has been an active port for more than 50 years and in that time handled large quantities of crude oil, gas and steel without any environmental incidents”.

It is on record that Esso Australia, acting as a service provider to Esso Australia Resources, was convicted on 12 June 1992 of a pollution offence under the Victorian Environment Protection Act 1970 following a spill of 10,000 litres of crude oil at its Long Island Point facility. Esso Australia Pty Ltd was fined $5000 plus $1450 costs.

Mr Lean would have known of Esso being subject to proceedings under a state law for the protection of the environment or the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, or should have known of the proceedings, and should not have submitted his letter with his comments on “environmental incidents”.

As no retraction or correction has been forthcoming, I believe his position is now untenable.

Maurice Schinkel, Cowes

Channels run deep A letter in a recent edition of The News by Linda Drewitt of Balnarring queries the depth of Western Port’s shipping channel.

The shipping channel that provides access to the current Port of Hastings has a declared depth of 14 metres. It is naturally deep, with the majority of it approximately 20 metres. That means the channel can currently manage the next generation of ships that cannot be accommodated at the Port of Melbourne.

The Port of Hastings Development Authority is undertaking a comprehensive series of studies and assessments of Western Port to assess the potential effects of the development of a container port facility, including the amount of material that may need to be dredged, It is interesting to note that the BP Achiever, the ship with the deepest draft to ever visit any Victorian port, left from Long Island Point in January 1986. Its draft was 15.5m.

We will continue to engage with the community to provide information on this significant project over the course of the project’s planning and development.

Mike Lean, CEO Port of Hastings Development Authority

Plan ‘ready to go’ I refer to the article under the heading “Hosking calls for traffic fix” (The News 2/9/14). During 11 years in government Labor did nothing to fix the Tyabb school zone and now suddenly, just months out from an election, pretends to be concerned about the area.

Had the Labor spokesperson for roads both-

ered to speak to one of the schools he would have been told that I have been working closely with the schools, council, the Department of Education and VicRoads and together we have a finalised plan and funding in place to address the issues left by the previous government.

Prior to the 2010 state election the school and I contacted the Brumby government many times trying to get the issue addressed; however it was not at all interested.

Upon winning government in 2010 I worked closely with the schools, the Minister for Education, the Education Department, VicRoads and council to put together a plan to address the issues and secure the funding.

The school now has the finalised plan and funding to implement it.

Neale Burgess, MP for Hastings

Conflict questioned I was disgusted to read that Cr Graham Pittock was found guilty of a conflict of interest for voting on the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre in council (‘Pittock guilty of conflict over gym’, The News 2/9/14). How is his business going to be affected in Dromana?

This decision effectively bars Dromana residents from having a say on how their rates are spent.

Council was notified of Cr Pittock’s squash and gym business by an “anonymous” tip-off and you don’t have to be blind Freddie to know where the tip-off came from considering the toxicity permeating the air in council chambers.

It is to be hoped that no other councillor or their relatives or friends have any interests in say, a wellness centre on the southern peninsula.

Is it a conflict of interest if a farmer on the council has a vote on the farm rate?

Is council allowed to operate a commercial business that will jeopardise the operations of a similar private commercial business and, if it is, why are councillors allowed to vote on something that would obviously be a conflict of interest for the shire?

This council really is the pits.

John Cain, McCrae

Transport pain I received a parking fine at Kananook station which made me wonder about people trying to work in the city. The fine was for parking on the mud and was imposed by a highway patrol officer in a $100,000 plus bells and whistles car. I wondered why he was patrolling car parks when I had idiots screaming up Oliver’s Hill at 100kph plus. Bandits are robbing service stations and he is wandering around car parks looking for criminals parking on the mud.

I wonder why we have had 100 per cent population growth in the area since I arrived 1972 and yet we have the same car parking? There’s been a bit of tar, but little else has changed.

A big thing has been made of rebuilding Mornington pier so people can hang a fishing line off, yet we have no improvements for the vast number of people trying to use our rail service.

The state spends millions on advertisements telling us to use the train but there’s no parking.

Is it me, or has the entire government lost the plot? We have had lots of information on the growth in demand yet we are still in the 1970s with our planning?

Still giving after all these years ALL suited up, with short-back-andsides haircuts neatly brushed, these foundation members of the Rotary Club of Hastings-Westernport laid the foundations for the club which has served the community since 1969.

Known as The Originals, the longtime members set about “giving back to the community” just like Rotarians do today, according to the director of Rotary Foundations, Don Prout, top left, who’s been a faithful servant of

the club for all those 45 years.

Along the way they have helped scores of disadvantaged people in “disastrous” situations overseas, helping to prevent polio and malaria, providing shelter boxes and wheelchairs, mosquito nets and clothing to areas hard hit by tsunamis or earthquakes, bushfires or floods.

Recently, the club assisted villages in Tonga with a $500 grant that was matched four to one by the New

Zealand government. The money went towards helping villages become self-sufficient, improve their vegetable crops and erect fencing to keep pigs out of gardens.

Their fundraising work helps those closer to home, too. Members responded to a talk by Hastings SES officer Danielle de-Natris last week by donating $500. Other causes include helping local schools with breakfasts, mock job interviews and scholarships.

PUPILS from Woodleigh School’s junior campus, Minimbah, are making a big splash about their latest fundraising project.

They have challenged marathon swimmer Tammy van Wisse to an endurance race, with the pupils earning sponsorship money for each lap they complete. Money raised will go towards digging wells in Ethiopia.

Each well costs $6000.

Around 150 pupils will join in the challenge against van Wisse, 46, at the Mornington Secondary College pool on Wednesday 17 September.

POLICE are attempting to identify the owners of more than 100 assorted tools believed to have been stolen from houses, sheds and vehicles across the Western Port region.

The tools were recovered from a Hastings residence following a police search last Wednesday.

A 24-year-old Hastings man who resided at the address was arrested and charged with multiple counts of burglary, theft and handling stolen goods.

Police are now faced with the daunting task of trying to locate the owners of the stolen items, which include numerous power tools.

Hastings detectives said the incident served a timely reminder of the need for people to engrave their tools with names and phone numbers to both deter theft and assist in their return should they be lost or stolen.

Anyone having lost tools or work equipment over the past few months can contact Hastings crime investigation unit of 5970 7800.

LOVE THIS HOME

Grand lifestyle in Somers CRESSWELL is an outstanding lifestyle property, measuring well over 4 hectares, with the picturesque land featuring a small dam in the far corner and several paddocks with sheds that would cater to a small amount of livestock. Several outbuildings have power and town water connected, with the largest featuring a stove, shower and combustion heater.

The beautiful main home is at the end of a private driveway that has iron gates across the entrance that is flanked by two impressive stone pillars. The gravel driveway loops around in front of the home to provide plenty of parking and there is a double carport. A vast, well-maintained lawn area surrounds the home, and from the lovely open-air timber deck you gaze across the entire property. As you enter, there is an inviting formal lounge and parlour separated by a brick feature wall, and the galley-style kitchen is well-placed to cater for casual family meals or for larger gatherings in the formal dining room. To complete the list is a games room, a study and three bedrooms.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Farewelling the Frankston volunteers Compiled by Melissa Hodge THE annual meeting of the Peninsula Cricket Association will be held on Wednesday next. *** LOST the red rag waved at the Patriotic concert on Tuesday last. Finder please return to the Veteran. *** IF ‘Smitho’ goes through the Germans like he goes through the footballers he will be sure to reach Berlin. *** EVEN the patriotic meeting started late at Frankston. We hope the forces fighting for us at the front will never arrive half an hour too late. *** CAPT. Guy Madden expressed regret that he was unable to attend at the presentation to the members of the expeditionary force on Tuesday last. *** THE Mechanics Hall was tastefully and elegantly decorated for the Patriotic concert by the ladies. A lot of the success of the evening was brought about by the patriotic atmosphere.

Flags, wars, and rumours of war everywhere. *** MAJOR Campbell, who is well known in Frankston, was accorded a hearty welcome when he came forward to make the first presentation to members of the expeditionary force at the big Frankston meeting. *** COL. H. M. Grimwade was unable to attend at the patriotic concert, Frankston. Two wristlet watches sent

by Col. Grimwade were presented to the soldiers by Capt. S. Sherlock. *** IT is rumoured that a number of well known citizens have already volunteered to join the second expeditionary force. If each country town sends the same quota as Frankston there will be sufficient to fill the Broadmeadows training grounds. *** MR J. Reynolds, caretaker of the Frankston gardens, has received from the State nursery the following Acacia seeds :-Acacia Elsta, Cedar Wattle, Vericillata, Stricta, Sydney Green, Golden Wattle Broad Leaf, Descolar, Bileyana, Cootamuundra, Decurranu, Any one desirous of planting Australian Wattle may obtain seeds gratis from Mr Reynolds, Bay Street. *** WE understand that the Bay View Hotel, Frankston is about to change hands. Mrs Gregory, after carrying on the business for over 21 years, is about to retire, having leased the hotel to Mr Hunt, late of Drouin. Residents will be pleased to learn that although retiring from business it is not the intention of the family to leave Frankston, but will in future live privately. *** A MEEETING of the Tyabb cemetery trustees was held on Friday last, Cr C. Murray occupying the chair, A letter was read from W. J. Haddock, asking that the remuneration for sexton be increased to £1 per grave. The matter was deferred till next meeting. ***

AT the Frankston Court on Monday, before Messrs Clements, Williams and Baxter, J’s.P., Arthur Balderson, Arthur Wm. Whittle and Win. Cuming were charged by the police with driving their motors on the footpath at Frankston on the 23rd of August last.

As the police did not press for a heavy penalty, owing to the admitted nearly impossible state of the roadway, the bench fined each defendant 10s, without costs. *** CONTRIBUTIONS to the Frankston Patriotic Fund are still coming in.

Among other donations the New Frankston Masonic Lodge has given five guineas. The sports committee have donated five pounds and Mr Thos. Bailey of the Frankston Nurseries has contributed five pounds. Any donations, no matter how small, will be thankfully received by Dr Maxwell, President, or Dr Plowman, Hon.Treasurer of the fund. We intend to publish a full list of contributors next week. *** A PAINFULLY sudden death occurred at Lang Lang on Saturday last, the victim being Mr Walter Mackie, brother of Mr Len Mackie of Frankston. The deceased was well known in this district, and was one of Frankston’s most prominent footballers three seasons ago. Mackie was in his usual health in the morning, and in the afternoon was engaged in playing football, and never appeared in better health or spirits. At one stage of the game he secured the ball and had a long run, after which he went back to his place in the field.

After standing a few minutes his knees seemed to give way, and he fell forward on his face, quite dead. The cause of his collapse was heart disease, and at the inquest the doctor expressed surprise that deceased had lived so long. The remains were interred in the Lang Lang cemetery on Tuesday last.

A widow and family of three children are left to mourn their sad loss. *** FAREWELLING THE FRANKSTON VOLUNTEERS. The Frankston Mechanics Hall was taxed to its utmost capacity on Tuesday evening when between 400 and 500 residents and friends of local volunteers for the war assembled for the purpose of bidding them farewell prior to their departure.

The hall was tastefully decorated with flags and on the stage several stands of rifles were stacked. The proceedings throughout were marked by the utmost enthusiasm, and as each volunteer had his watch strapped to his wrist the hall resounded with cheers. The brass band played several selections in front of the building commencing the programme by playing “God Save the King”.

Dr Maxwell (chairman to the movement) then called upon Mr Bath, who sang ‘The Deathless Army.’ Mr Mat Elliot then gave a recitation, “The Relief of Kimberley,” in good style.

“Womans Ways,” by Miss Ray Picking, was a nice contribution. M.C. Ellis was in good voice and joining heartily, in the chorus. Mr Fred Hinton then gave a number of his imitations, and was loudly applauded. Mr J. G.

Garrood gave a good rendering of the famous old song, “Death of Nelson”.

The chairman then read the following telegrams: “Rialta, Melbourne - Regret retained on duty tonight so cannot attend send off. My best wishes to Frankston volunteers - Harold Grimwade.”

“Mornington - sorry unable to be with you. God bless our troops. Au revoir from all at Mornington - Alfred Bates.”

“Mornington - Wish boys au revoir.

Good luck - Lou Harrison.”

The chairman then explained the purpose of the meeting - to say farewell to the volunteers. Only those who have had actual experience with grim war with all its possibilities, can realise what our men are voluntarily facing. It is therefore the more to their credit that they are prepared to take the risk of never coining back (for they and their friends must take that risk). We who are remaining at home promise them that their welfare shall be in the keeping of our hearts. We trust that, having done their duty for their country, they will return and receive the right royal welcome which we shall prepare for them in this hall.

We have read during a feverish month how a gallant fight has been put up by the allies, how British pluck and doggedness has in the past risen superior to difficulties and is providing material for future history.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 12 Sept, 1914.

Relief for joint pain WHILE joint pain can occur in many different areas of the body, some of the most common joint pain is experienced in the feet, toes, ankles and knees. Why? We asked Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh, from one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal podiatry practices, Foot and Leg Pain Clinics to explain.

“Your feet are your foundation and support your entire body weight. Your feet and legs are also responsible for so much of your daily activity, it’s not surprising we experience pain and discomfort in these areas.”

Joint pain can include aching, swelling and stiffness and can make standing, walking and other activities painful.

“There are many causes of joint pain. It can be the result of an injury or soft tissue degeneration but could also be a sign of arthritis. Therefore it is very important to have an accurate diagnosis.”

Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are the most common. These types of arthritis share some similar characteristics, but the cause behind the symptoms is very different and so requires different treatment.

Osteoarthritis is caused by mechanical wear and tear of joints, so usually occurs in older people. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the bodies own immune system attacks the joints and can affect people of all ages, including children.

When it comes to diagnosing and treating pain and injury associated with the feet and legs, a podiatrist with expertise in musculoskeletal concerns is the best and most qualified practitioner to assist.

Apart from thorough and accurate diagnostics and assessment, an experienced podiatrist focused on musculoskeletal concerns can provide a whole range of advice and treatments.

These may include: specific exercises for strengthening and conditioning the feet and legs,

general exercise and nutritional advice to assist healing and weight bearing strain, addressing faulty biomechanics, orthoses prescription, advice on appropriate shoe selection, dry needling and natural regenerative injection therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma).

“Thanks to advances in the latest medical research and treatments we’re able to assist symptoms associated with joint pain, injuries and tissue degeneration better than ever before” Dr. Kavanagh says.

If you have joint pain or stiffness you can get expert advice at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Rye and Mt Eliza. Call 1300 328 300.

WHAT’S NEW

Ten new faces at new-look Coles COLES will create 10 new jobs when it officially opens its new-look supermarket at Somerville at 7am on Wednesday, 10 September.

More than 100 Coles team members will work at the refurbished Somerville store and shoppers can expect excellent value for their groceries.

Coles Somerville store manager Greg Simpkins said he was looking forward to welcoming locals into the refurbished store, which will introduce a brand new bakery and new-look health and beauty section.

“I am really confident that shoppers will enjoy our newly-refreshed store and will be extremely happy with the additional range of products on offer,” he said.

“We have always focused on providing great value and an excellent range for local families and the new refurbishment has allowed us to do this even more so.”

As Coles celebrates its 100th year as an Australianowned company, Somerville store customers are set to notice the brand new bakery section in particular.

The all-encompassing fresh produce section is now to be displayed on ice, maintaining freshness for longer across a wide variety of fruit and vegetables products. The existing ‘Scoop and Weigh’ cabinet will remain, filled with a huge selection of nuts and dried fruit mixes, perfect for those lunchbox and work-day snacks.

A gourmet delicatessen, complete with olive bar and fresh cheese selection, will provide shoppers with a range of new products to sample. Customers can also select from a wide range of pre-packaged deli meats, dips and antipasto products from the ‘deli-on-the-go’ cabinet.

For those interested in freshly-baked bread rolls and sweets, as well as a newly-extended gluten free range, Bakery Manager Nevena Rapajic and her team of seven in-store bakers now offer baked goods for any occasion.

Coles Somerville is located at Centro Somerville Shopping Centre at 49 Eramosa Road, Somerville and is open from 7am – 10pm, 7 days.

Q REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

OUR RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES Patients rank St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital number one Our hospital has been ranked the number one private rehabilitation hospital operator by our inpatients according to the latest independent Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey results. The Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey is conducted annually and asks patients a number of questions about their entire hospital stay including the clinical management of their condition, rooms, meals, admission and discharge.

Our hospital’s average inpatient score of 88.4 from 92 in patients who responded (a response rate of 60.5%) placed our hospital in the 99th percentile when benchmarked against other private rehabilitation hospitals.

The results of our 2013 Australian Council of Healthcare clinical indicators showed that 99.2% of our patients return to accommodation equal to or greater than pre-episode

accommodation. This is 19.3% greater than the national average of 79.9% and 14% greater than the benchmark group average of 85.2%.

The Australian Rehabilitation Outcome Centre (AROC) manages the collection and reporting of Functional Improvement Measures (FIM) across all Australian rehabilitation hospitals.

The FIM measures a patient’s functional ability to carry out an activity independently versus their need for assistance from another person or a device. Patients functional ability is measured upon arrival and then again at discharge.

Our hospital’s functional ability gain was 97.9% against a national standard of 95.9%. Our patients scored 1.2 points higher than other private rehabilitation hospitals nationally. For our patients this means that their ability to return to normal social activities such as bowling, golf or just walking along the beach is greater.

If you would like to attend our hospital, please see your doctor for a referral.

Sharks storm into grand final NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO marched into the Nepean League grand final on Saturday with a stirring victory over Crib Point in the second semi final.

Scores were locked together at 9.9 (63) at three quarter time at Hastings’ Thomas Barclay Oval, however Sorrento stepped up a gear in the final quarter and went on to win 16.13 (109) to 13.9 (87).

The loss sees Crib Point play Rye in this weekend’s preliminary final after the Demons smashed Dromana on Sunday.

In Saturday’s game, for the second week in succession, Myles Pitt booted six goals for the winners, while Leigh Poholke made it 86 goals for the season with another haul of four.

The Sharks’ ability to play on big grounds was questioned going into the match, given they had lost to Hastings and Red Hill on their big grounds.

However, Sorrento was the team that was full of running when it mattered most in the last quarter.

The Sharks rammed home seven goals to four, highlighting that they are in tip top shape leading into yet another grand final.

Grand finals are becoming a habit for the red and white and it wasn’t lost on coach Troy Schwarze.

“I keep telling the blokes that grand finals don’t come easily but I think there’s some of them that don’t quite believe me anymore,” said Schwarze.

“It’s been a pretty good period for the club but we are under no illusions about where our season sits right now.

“The job is only half done and there’s a lot of preparation that needs to go into the next couple of weeks.

“We’ll have a light night on Tuesday but we’ll really start cranking things up after that.”

Last season, Sorrento limped into the grand final after a tough campaign and were blown away by Dromana in the big dance.

Schwarze believes his team is in far better shape this season.

“Look, we needed to get the week off last season but didn’t and it really took a toll on us,” said Schwarze.

“This season, while you like to get the break, we’re in far greater shape than we have been in the past. We’re pretty fresh and I reckon the way we’ve run out games has proven that.

“Crib Point is a great footy team and they showed on Saturday that their best is devastating, but I was pretty happy with the way we responded and maintained the pressure for four quarters,” said Schwarze.

Troy himself was clearly the best player on the ground, playing in the middle, as opposed to his usual role at half-back.

His brother Ben played across halfback again and while not as dominant as last week, played his role. James Hallahan played on a wing for the majority of the match.

Kayle Stringer-Morris was back into the team and at his best after missing last week with hamstring tightness and Tyrren Head was a fine contributor.

Crib Point wasn’t as clean with the footy as the Sharks and this was the reason they went down.

Players who usually hold marks were dropping them and their execution wasn’t a good as usual.

It will be good for the Pies to get a

final out of the way.

Jon Flack really did keep the Pies in the game with five goals while Glenn Boyd booted three and probably should have finished with another three.

On Sunday, Rye continued its devastating form and belted Dromana 19.14 (128) to 8.11 (59).

The Demons were sensational from the first bounce to the final siren, showing too much system, run and commitment for the Tigers.

Other than a ten minute period in the first quarter, Dromana looked tired, sore and, to be honest, mentally out of

Western Port News 9 September 2014

season 2014.

They went into the game without Terry Wheeler (broken hand), Andy Kiely (groin) and Anthony Bruhn (back), while Stuart Cleeve and Michael Falconer didn’t play for the majority of the season. Bruhn and Wheeler are their two best players.

Steven Gaertner looked injured and only lasted a half and Paul Minchington knocked himself out in the first quarter and struggled from that point on.

Rye went into the clash without in and under midfielder Braeden Dennis, who was interstate for personal

reasons. Matt Dunn hurt his leg in the third quarter and will be unlikely to come up for the preliminary final, leaving Dennis to come back in.

On Saturday, in his 198th game for Rye, skipper Rhett Sutton dominated and Ryan Semmel was simply sensational. His work in and under and on the outside left supporters and spectators speechless. He is as good as I’ve seen on the peninsula in 25 years covering local footy.

The defence was again superb, led by the likes of Adam Kirkwood, Leigh Morse, Ryan Taylor and Chris Gleeson. Matty Sibberas totally shut

out Toby Banks after he got off the chain early, while Anthony Joel again played a vital role.

In attack, the Demons were also dangerous. Brady Egan, Aaron Findlay and Ben Holmes presented all afternoon and Benny WintersKerr made a nuisance of himself. The opposition latched on hook, line and sinker.

Rye have always been attractive on paper. I’ve always predicted their best is better than anyone else. They now understand how to go about bringing their best every week.

Stonecats cruise into big dance PENINSULA LEAGUE

Dizzying heights: Despite this great grab, Dromana did not have what it took to win the day, going down to Rye by 69 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW continued its domination of the 2014 Peninsula League season with a dominant performance against Bonbeach in the second semi final.

The Stonecats stormed into the Peninsula League grand final with a 15.15 (105) to 11.4 (70) victory.

Bonbeach will now face Mornington in the preliminary final after the Doggies overcame reigning premiers Edithvale-Aspendale by 28 points.

The scoreboard was a true reflection of the match. The Stonecats dominated from the first bounce and given its 30 scoring shots to 15, should have won the contest by a lot more.

Bonbeach went into the game without a recognised ruckman, given the fact that Dylan Jones and James Norton were both out of the side.

The Sharks were also missing Rob Horler and Brad Sykes, who have both been outstanding contributors for Bonbeach this season.

The Stonecats brought four players back into their lineup for the match, including Dale Carroil and Ricky Morris. While Morris didn’t have a big impact on the game, Carroll was superb at both ends of the ground.

The lack of genuine talls for Bonbeach gave Ash Eames the opportunity to dominate the contest, and he did just that.

Eames would have taken close to 20 marks, the majority of which were across half-back.

Anthony ‘Bundy’ Barry wasn’t selected because of an aductor strain, which meant the defenders needed a hand. Eames has always been

brilliant at that.

The Stonecats had winners all over the ground, none more than Scott McLeod and Billy Rolfe. Their run, second efforts and ball skills were a highlight of the match.

Dave Bodley booted seven goals in the first half and really had the better of Anthony Raso and Jason Gumbleton. Jason Ferraro became the third opponent in the second half and restricted him to four behinds.

Ferraro was the obvious choice to go to Bodley much sooner than he did.

Ben Buckley got a lot of the footy and Lachy Wallace was also in and among it.

It was much harder to find a group of good players at Bonbeach.

The half-back line was tireless.

Jackson Casey and Gary Carpenter were outstanding.

After the match, YCW coach Scott Mathers agreed that it was “almost” the complete performance.

“Look, when you go into a game with the best ruckman in the league (Eames) and they don’t have any ruckmen, things are going to be tough for the opposition. Ash needed to take advantage of the situation and he did, giving us first use of the footy all day,” said Mathers.

“When you have the footy in your hands, you control the game and Eames gave us that opportunity more times than not.”

YCW was penalised in the third quarter when it was realised that Matt Hogan was not on the team sheet.

Hogan was subsequently ordered to stay off the field.

Logic prevailed though and it was deemed a simple administrative mess up and he was able to come onto the field.

“It was pretty tough at the time

because it really hurt our rotations and blokes were starting to cramp up,” said Mathers.

“I think common sense prevailed though because it wasn’t like we were playing an unregistered player or a player who didn’t qualify.

“We simply left Bundy’s name on the team sheet as to not give too much away prior to the game. We just didn’t replace him with Hogan before lodging the paperwork.”

Frankston YCW will be having no easy time on the track in the lead up to the grand final.

“It will be hard work and business as usual,” said Mather.

“It’s important the guys’ minds remain on the job at hand. Changing things or giving them light nights etc won’t help anyone.

“We have started our finals campaign positively, however the job is only half done,” said Mathers.

On Sunday, Mornington booted four goals to one in the third quarter to set-up a 10.14 (74) to 6.10 (46) win over Edithvale-Aspendale.

Scores were locked together at 4.7 apiece at half time before Mornington took control.

Dale Nolan booted five goals in a best on ground performance for the Dogs while Jai Haddock and James Halsall starred.

Mark Mullins and Tim Mannix were the best of the Eagles, while Tim Mavric, who has been hammered by injury this season, was also outstanding.

The Dogs beat Bonbeach in round three by 43 points at home before losing to them in round ten by 32 points.

There is no doubt that the open spaces of Frankston Park this Sunday will suit the Doggies.

Ground flooding fails to alter final plans

By Toe Punt POLICE are investigating a break in at Hastings’ Thomas Barclay Reserve that resulted in the ground being found under water last Thursday morning.

Hastings Football Club officials arrived at the ground on Thursday to find the sprinkler system on and the ground flooded.

It is believed that someone who had

access to keys to the ground and the club’s sprinkler system was responsible.

Police have said that the sprinkler system was tampered with at 9pm on Wednesday night. This information was sourced from the computer system of the sprinkler system.

There were plenty of conspiracy theories going around late in the week as to who may have turned the sprinklers on.

Hastings legend and committee member Kevin Miles said whoever did it knew exactly what they were doing.

“First of all, they had access to the ground and the sprinkler system. Secondly, they knew how to manipulate the sprinkler system,” Miles said.

“Now, I’m no expert but I think only a small number of people have access to keys etc. There could be others but

there wouldn’t be too many people who would have access,” said Miles.

The other interesting thing to consider was that there were some clubs who did not want the finals played at Hastings. Some clubs had even written to the league requesting that the venue be changed.

When the league was advised on Thursday morning that the ground was under water, the response was “the

Pies downed but not out CRIB POINT FNC

By Jared Newton CRIB Point’s first foray into finals for a decade didn’t go quite to plan with a 22-point loss to seasoned finals campaigners Sorrento at Hastings.

The Pies jumped out of the blocks quickly with a goal to Brad Davidson but several other early shots at goal were off target. Sorrento capitalised at the other end with three quick goals of their own to take the lead which they managed to hold for most of the day.

The game was a tight affair for the full four quarters and pundits would’ve been brave to declare a winner during the bruising encounter.

Every time Sorrento looked like they might kick away the Pies pegged them back with a response. But despite getting the score back to level pegging the Pies could not get a buffer of their own to really apply the pressure.

Towards the end it was Sorrento finishing the stronger of the two teams as they found themselves in a position they’ve been in many times before and knew exactly what was required to grind out the win to take it 16.13 (109) to 13.9 (87).

For the Pies, Flack was the standout with a five-goal bag. Boyd proved a handful as a marking target and finished with three. Davidson and Smith provided a lot of run across half forward to kick two apiece.

Down back, Dean Warry showed

the comp why he’s one of Nepean’s best defenders with his stopping and rebounding skills on Poholke after he kicked three very early goals. His rebounding out of the back half provided the Pies with much drive throughout the match.

Through the middle the points were shared in the ruck and clearances with two quality midfields going toe to toe.

Despite all this it was the experience of the Sharks that got them over the line. After the match Magpies coach Duane Annable was disappointed but remained upbeat about a performance the boys could be proud of. For the club it was its first finals appearance and the coach felt they could hold their heads high as they showed the league they deserved to be there.

This week the Pies need to put the disappointment of Saturday behind them and focus on winning their way to the big dance by getting past a rampant Rye. Rye have a lot of star quality on their list and won’t be easy to overcome. Like Sorrento they boast a list that’s been there and done it all before.

However last week’s taste should be enough to give the boys the confidence that they’re good enough to overcome them and win their way to their first Grand Final in 13 years.

Finals intensity: Crib Point lost its first final in a decade to Sorrento and must now beat Rye to make it to the Grand Final. Pictures: Andrew Hurst
