Police set graffiti tag net POLICE believe they are closing in on some of the most prolific and visible graffiti taggers in the Hastings, Baxter and Somerville areas. Some tags, or signatures, have made many appearances on public and private property, and Acting Sergeant Peter Howe of Hastings police has warned that anyone caught tagging “will be charged”. “This is a serious issue and we need the public to understand that graffiti is a criminal offence and very costly to the community and to property owners when it comes to cleaning it off.” Acting Sergeant Howe admits police cannot deal with the problem without help from the public. “We need public assistance to identify offenders. Apart from this being an offence, it is unsightly and gives a poor image to the towns.” He said several tags that frequently occurred would be known to quite a few people, and possibly appeared on schoolbooks. The idea behind a tag was a form of showing off and unless the author was known, the tag on its own was useless. “Tags constantly being used include ‘weezy’, ‘bufah’, ‘menace’, ‘blaze anoe’ and ‘terps’,” Acting Sergeant Howe said. Information about tags or those responsible can be emailed to hastings-uni-graffiti@police.vic.gov.au Victims of graffiti can notify police by calling 000.

Tag alert: Acting Sergeant Peter Howe is tracking prolific taggers across Hastings, Baxter and Somerville.

Teen binging problems By Keith Platt and Jo Winterbottom YOUNG people on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston have more alcohol-related problems than anywhere else south of Melbourne. Statistics from 10 municipalities show peninsula and Frankston youngsters are more likely to be assaulted, in road accidents, admitted to hospital or subjected to family violence. The problems they face are also well above the state average.

Mornington Peninsula Shire, described as “similar to Victoria” in socioeconomic characteristics, has a significantly higher rate of licensed premises per 10,000 people. “The rate of alcohol-related assaults of 18-24 year old residents, rates of serious road injuries in this age group and rates of alcohol-related hospital admissions in both age groups were significantly higher than Victorian rates,” according to most recent statis-

The statistics and ways of avoiding the harm and injury caused to young people by excessive drinking will be presented next week to parents at a seminar in Carrum Downs. The seminar, the only one in the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston region, is one of 10 being held throughout the state over the next two months

by the Australian Drug Foundation. Western Port Secondary College student welfare coordinator Tim Ward said binge drinking among teens was part of a widespread “party culture”. “Alcohol and drug use is an issue, but I couldn’t say it is any worse in Hastings than elsewhere,” he said. “We are not seeing kids slipping out to drink at lunchtime; it is at parties on the weekend.”

Legendary display for a legend

Western Port

A DISPLAY of photos and memorabilia of legendary Essendon and Hastings footballer John Coleman is at Hastings Library. The display was created by lifelong John Coleman enthusiast and Hastings resident Vic Jeremiah. Coleman originally played for Hastings Football Club, where he kicked 269 goals in 37 games over two season as full-forward.

He was recruited by Essendon and became one of the greatest Australian Rules footballers. The collection contains more than 60 items from Coleman’s career, about half of Mr Jeremiah’s collection, which he has compiled since the late 1940s. Mr Jeremiah was 10 years old when he first saw Coleman play for Hastings, which sparked his

obsession with the goal kicking icon. He has collected and compiled every newspaper article and piece of Coleman memorabilia ever released. Mr Jeremiah said there was little that ever came out about John Coleman over the years that he hasn’t collected. The collection is claimed to be the largest in the world. Matt Vowell

Kill permits too easy: MP By Mike Hast GREENS leader Greg Barber is leading a campaign to make it harder for rural landowners to get permits to kill native animals on their properties. The campaign includes forcing the Department of Sustainability and Environment to reveal how many Authority to Control Wildlife (ATCW) permits had been issued for this year. The Mornington Peninsula is one of the target areas with Mr Barber on Thursday revealing on the peninsula’s community radio station 3RPP that last year permits were issued to kill kangaroos, swamp wallabies, corellas, lorikeets, ducks and cockatoos. He said DSE had refused to say how many permits had been issued for 2012 and this information was being sought under Freedom of Information. DSE issued 2126 permits last year in Victoria. On the peninsula, permits were issued to kill or remove 246 eastern grey kangaroos, 102 little corellas, 145 musk lorikeets, 145 rainbow lorikeets, 15 maned ducks, 15 Pacific black ducks, 4 sulphur-crested cockatoo and 2 swamp wallabies. Mr Barber, speaking on RPP’s Environment Show, said it was far too easy for landowners to get permits. “Why is it that some landowners claim to have problems with birds or kangaroos when their next door neighbour doesn’t?” he asked. The application process was not rigorous enough and people did not have to adequately prove native animals were creating financial hardship. “We had one case where one family had to watch their neighbour shooting

kangaroos and in the morning they found carcasses on their property.” Recent and long-term residents lived on the peninsula because of its beautiful native wildlife, he said. Mr Barber said DSE’s refusal to provide 2012 figures meant he would be bringing a motion to the parliament on Wednesday “asking that all permits to control wildlife be tabled and placed on the public record for some healthy scrutiny”. Reacting to Mr Barber’s campaign, Environment Minister Ryan Smith on Friday 2 March issued a press release stating the government would set up a new panel “to assess applications to control wildlife across the state that are of significant community interest”.

Festival for wildlife

In the crosshairs: Left, a swamp wallaby. Above, rainbow lorikeets mainly eat the nectar and pollen of native flowers. Below, eastern grey kangaroos.

THE annual RAW (Respect For Wildlife) music festival is on Sunday 18 March at Morning Star Estate, Sunnyside Rd, Mornington. It raises money for environmental, conservation and animal rights activities. A spokesman said it would be a family focused event with entertainment and educational experiences. “There will be bands, drumming groups, roaming entertainers, handson animal experiences, face painting, rides, games, talks and more,” he said. “Raw will be a licensed event with alcohol-free areas for the children’s entertainment.” Performers include Mat McHugh (of the Beautiful Girls), Jeff Lang, Dallas Frasca, Fireballs, Dream Boogie, Papa Chango, The Animators, Steve Approved, Josh Cashman, and Lash 78.

REBUILDING of Hastings jetty starts in late March and is expected to take about five months. People will have access to the inner concrete section only and boaties will still be able to use the Hayman Pacific marina arm. Graeme Davis of Parks Victoria said the timber section would be demolished then rebuilt in concrete and a floating pontoon and gangway would replace the fixed landing. “The project will include demolition of the decommissioned slipway, removing degrading piles and timbers and installation of about 40 new piles and a new timber deck,” he said. The project will cost about $900,000. For further information, contact Parks Victoria on 13 1963 or visit www.parks.vic.gov.au

“Recent ATCW applications to control kangaroos have resulted in disagreements between landholders and other residents and we want to make sure the government has the best possible independent advice before making a decision on these types of applications,” Mr Smith said. “The panel will provide a transparency in decision-making regarding the issuing of ATCW permits, ensuring all relevant options are considered to determine an appropriate and humane wildlife management response.” Mr Barber’s website has a list of ATCW permits issued from 2008-11 and permits issued 2008-11 by municipality.

Councillor’s job sparks review call By Mike Hast CONCERNS by some shire councillors over Hastings-based councillor Reade Smith working for Mt Martha Ward councillor Anne Shaw will come to a head at the council meeting tonight (Tuesday). Cr Smith has been employed by Cr Shaw and her husband Chris Shaw at their commercial hydroponic business, Peninsula Aqua Growers in Mt Martha, for almost 12 months. Cr Bev Colomb of Mornington Ward will put up a notice of motion calling for Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell to “address rules around a councillor working for another councillor in a paid position”. Cr Colomb also will ask her colleagues to support the preparation of a report by shire officers “that gives us protocols to put in place for council to monitor and manage when a councillor is employed by another [councillor]”. On Friday, The News texted Cr Smith asking him to call to discuss Cr Colomb’s move, but received a text message in reply: “Sorry, personal matter. I’m taking the higher ethical ground on this one,” Cr Smith replied. The News asked him by text what was the higher ethical ground. Cr Smith texted: “Personal matters; paying my mortgage and bills and just surviving as a PAYE employee and representing those on the same breadline is not a tabloid story. “The higher ground is not bowing down to a game being played by bullies with sour grapes.” Cr Colomb said there was no “breach of any regulations currently”, but she believed there should be a review of processes for councillor conduct. “This all about councils being transparent and

Cr Reade Smith.

showing good governance,” she said. Cr Colomb wants shire officers to investigate if a local law could be of assistance to manage when a councillor is employed by a colleague. She said there was no implication of impropriety regarding Crs Smith and Shaw. Cr Smith has been a police officer, bouncer, manager of community development projects, and an actor and film extra. Anne and Chris Shaw have run Peninsula Aqua Growers business for about 20 years. It supplies hydroponic basil, coriander, rocket, spinach, radicchio, herbs, watercress and lettuce to restaurants, a pizza shop, fruit and vegetable shops and a Frankston South pesto maker.

Rape prompts warning to women and youth By Jo Winterbottom POLICE have warned women and young people to stay off Hastings streets after dark following the brutal sexual assault of a teenager in the grounds of a Hastings school last week. Detective Acting Sergeant Nick Sweetman, of the sexual offences and child abuse investigation team in Frankston, said police were working around the clock to find the armed attacker, believed to be a man aged between 40 and 50 who runs “a bit like a chicken�, may have a speech

impediment and smells “like a wet dog. This was a very brutal attack and is being treated as a major crime,� he said. “It is a warning to all people not to be out by themselves after dark; they just shouldn’t be putting themselves at risk.� The 17-year-old girl was in Hastings visiting her father and was walking home along High St outside Western Port Secondary College at 4.15am on Sunday 4 March. The girl was attacked from behind and dragged into the school grounds

where she was raped at knife-point. Detective Acting Sergeant Sweetman said the man at first ran past the girl on High St and turned left into Olivia Way. Video footage from newly installed cameras at Western Port Secondary College showed a man with a distinctive running style jogging past the school just before the attack occurred. “The victim told us her attacker had a very strange running motion in which he flaps and rotates his arms, a bit like a chicken,� he said. The girl also said the man mumbled,

may have had a speech impediment and reeked of a “pungent odour, like a wet dog�. He was lying in wait for the girl when she turned into Olivia Way, where he pounced and grabbed her from behind and held a knife to her throat. Detective Acting Sergeant Sweetman said the man was seen running from the Villawood Drive area just before the attack and returning there about 4.45am, directly after the girl was raped. “This was a very brutal attack and is being treated as a major crime,� he said.

The offender was described as short at 165cm, of slim build, Caucasian appearance and aged between 40 and 50. He was wearing a grey, open-faced balaclava, black top, blue jeans and runners. It is believed the weapon he used was a kitchen knife with a white handle and silver blade. Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the sexual offences and child abuse investigation team on 9784 5608.

Crib ‘house’ not closing By Jo Winterbottom REPORTS of the death of Crib Point Community House are greatly exaggerated. That’s the message from community house coordinator Mary Budd, who was surprised to hear of the demise of the community house when shopping in Crib Point recently. “I was at the shops and overheard some people talking about how the community house had closed down, which was news to me,� she said. The house is open for business as usual, as it has been for 30 years. “I think the confusion has arisen because our occasional care centre closed at the end of last year,� Ms Budd said. Crib Point was one of dozens of community houses forced to abandon occasional care when the state

government announced funding for the service would be slashed in 2012. The state had taken up the slack when the federal government cut out its share the year before. Ms Budd acknowledged it was a terrible blow for the community house and parents in Crib Point, but said she had tried to compensate by opening the house to more playgroups and parent groups. “We have everything here and the parents really need it; they need to meet other parents and take a bit of time out,� she said. Thursday is playgroup day, when the house is open to parents and children from 9am to 3pm. Individual playgroups can be accommodated on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Training, educational and recreational groups meet during the week

and the adjacent community garden continues to flourish. The community house will host the Patchwork and Art Expo over the weekend of 24 and 25 March. With the peninsula having become a centre of the patchworking art over recent years, Ms Budd said there would be a comprehensive display of quilts and wall hangings, as well as artworks from groups that meet at the community house. Mornington Peninsula crafters will show their handiwork and give demonstrations 9am-3pm each day. For details call the community house on 5983 9888 or go to www.cpch.org. au Not closing: Mary Budd outside Crib Point Community House last Friday. Picture: Yanni

Long-awaited highway roadworks to start ROADWORKS at the intersection of Nepean Highway and White Hill Rd in Dromana starts this week. The work involves the installation of a roundabout at the intersection and will include improvements to the bicycle path, street lighting and the intersection of White Hill Rd and Dunns Creek Rd. Work is expected to be completed expected in August. VicRoads will manage the work to minimise disruption to traffic, but lane

closures and speed restrictions will be in place at various times to ensure the safety of workers and the general community, a VicRoads spokesman said. “Minor delays to traffic are to be expected during the work and VicRoads asks road users to be alert to changed traffic conditions and observe any signs in place,� he said.

Labourer’s gets $10,000 payout for unpaid work A MORNINGTON labourer has been back-paid $10,000 by a Bendigo company that had underpaid him for 11 months. Australian Building and Construction commissioner Leigh Johns said the 23-year-old man had worked for the building company casually between June 2010 and May 2011. “The company incorrectly assumed that because its enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) had expired, it should pay the labourer according to the generic building and construction award rate,� he said. “However, if an EBA has expired it continues to apply unless it has been formally terminated or a new agree-

ment has been negotiated. “No company wants to face hefty back-payments, especially not smaller employers in the building and construction industry.� Mr Johns said it was a priority of the ABCC to educate employers about their obligations and provide advice and guidance to assist them to comply with workplace laws. “The commission promotes fair and productive building and construction work. It also monitors compliance and investigates breaches of national workplace legislation.� For details call ABCC on 1800 003 338 or visit www.abcc.gov.au

Pioneering woman: Suzanne Boyd (who nominated Hope Black), Hastings MP Neale Burgess, pioneering museum curator and teacher Hope Black, now 92, and Minister for Women’s Affairs Mary Wooldridge.

Museum curator honoured By Jo Winterbottom IT can’t have been easy for Hope Macpherson to make her mark as the first female curator of the National Museum of Victoria in the deeply conservative 1950s. In the 1960s, while things may have been swinging elsewhere, she was forced to resign when she chose to marry, due to a prohibition on married women in the Victorian Public Service. Not one to waste time complaining, Mrs Hope Black retrained as a teacher and spent 13 years passing on her love of science to country students. Mrs Black, of Somerville, was one of 20 women added to the Victorian Honour Roll of Women as part of celebrations to mark International Women’s Day last Thursday.

Solar Power Generators - Renewable Energy

Now 92, she said her years at the museum were the most satisfying in a distinguished career of leading-edge research, teaching and pioneering feats such as being among the first female researchers to visit Antarctica in 1959. ‘The most rewarding part of my career was working at the museum, imparting an understanding of, and a love of, science,� she said last week. A passion for zoology led the 18-year-old Hope Macpherson to seek a job in the taxidermy department at the National Museum of Victoria (now Museum Victoria). According to museum historians, then director John Mahoney deemed it “inappropriate� for a woman to work in taxidermy, but recognised Hope’s brimming drive and talent, employing her as an assistant

preparing displays and dioramas. After completing a science degree at Melbourne University, she was made Curator of Molluscs in 1946, a position she held until forced to retire in 1965. Mrs Black was part of the museum team that travelled with pack horses to survey the Snowy River Gorge prior to construction of the hydroelectric scheme and she led ground-breaking surveys of Port Phillip, producing data that is still used as a benchmark for surveys. As a curator, Mrs Black pioneered methods to involve the broader community in the life of the museum, establishing volunteer programs and special interest clubs. She also developed a science education course for blind children.

Teen binge drinking problems Continued from Page 1

All students at Western Port complete a ‘Party Safe’ drug and alcohol education program run by Mr Ward and his team, which includes an adolescent health nurse. The school’s ‘Footprints’ program is a regular pastoral care and personal development program that also addresses drug and alcohol issues. “Adolescence is about the most difficult time in life; that’s why we have such a strong welfare emphasis at secondary schools,” Mr Ward said. Dr David Rankin, Frankston Hospital’s executive director of medical services, confirmed alcohol was a major factor in the injuries sustained by many young people arriving at the emergency department. “Not only does alcohol interfere with young people’s coordination, it impairs their judgement and their relationship with others,” Dr Rankin said. “Too often the doctors and nurses in our emergency department are required to clean up the chaos caused by alcohol use and misuse. “The injuries are sustained in many ways but assaults and car accidents are high on that list and unfortunately often involve innocent bystanders. “While it is the injured young people and their friends who divert our doctors and nurses, absorbing our

limited capacity in the emergency department, it is the culture and society that condones and endorses their behaviour that perpetrates this significant burden on the health system. “Like their emergency colleagues on the police force and in ambulances, our nurses and doctors too often need to assist young people who have paid a very high price for their, or their friends, use of alcohol.” The Australian Drug Foundation seminar follows new laws introduced last November that ban adults supplying alcohol to minors in a private residence unless they have parental consent. “Previous law on the supply of alcohol to minors did not apply to private residences, which on occasion resulted in irresponsible adults supplying significant amounts of alcohol to minors without their parents’ knowledge,” Mental Health Minister Mary Wooldridge said. “We aren’t seeking to limit decisions parents make in relation to their children, but we are seeking to limit the decisions that other people make in relation to children who are not their own.” The foundation says young people who binge drink are more at risk of harms such as sexual assault, injury or even death. “Alcohol causes health risks that accumulate over a lifetime. The

younger someone starts drinking, the longer they’ll be exposed to those risks,” chief executive John Rogerson said. Acting CEO of VicHealth, associate professor John Fitzgerald, said alcohol consumption was one of the biggest social issues facing Victoria’s young people. The forums are an interactive education program designed to give parents the practical help and advice they need to deal with alcohol use by their children. They will cover:  The harm that adolescent alcohol consumption can cause.  How parents can assist their children to negotiate adolescence without experiencing alcohol-related risks or damage.  The secondary supply law. Organisers hope the seminar brings parents together who will

then form their own support network. The seminar will be hosted by the Australian Drug Foundation’s community mobilisation policy officer Sarah Jaggard and feature speakers Geoff Munro, the foundation’s policy director, and Leigh Bartlett, regional youth affairs consultant with the Barwon Adolescent Task Force. For more information about the new law or for an education pack on the secondary supply of alcohol, visit www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/ teendrinkinglaw  Walleroo Community Centre in Hastings will run a drug and alcohol education program for parents of teenagers in May. ‘Talking Teens and Alcohol/Drugs’ is free and open to all parents and carers of children aged under 18. Details: Helena, 9721 3656 or 0432 499 814.

Extra city trains on weekends WEEKEND trains from 10.30am to 7pm on the Frankston line will run every 10 minutes instead of every 20 minutes as from 22 April. Metro timetable changes will also provide more direct trains from Flinders Street to Southern Cross station to make it easier to get to events such as football matches, concerts and shows during the day and in the evening.

Minister for Public Transport Terry Mulder said Metro would operate 14,353 train trips across Melbourne each week. “Special trains will continue for night and more popular sporting events,” he said. Details will be out before 22 April at www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au and www.metrotrains.com.au Printed timetables are due on 10 April.

Couples caught in the middle

Shining on stage: A scene from David Williamson’s Let the Sunshine with, from left, Toni Scanlan, Dennis Coard, Ryan Hayward, Peter Phelps, Hannah Norris and Alexandra Fowler.

A TASTE of life in Noosa is coming to Frankston with the staging of David Williamson’s satirical comedy Let the Sunshine. Toby (Dennis Coard) and Ros (Toni Scanlan) are retired left-wing radicals who flee to the upmarket Sunshine Coast seaside town to escape scandal in Sydney. Ros meets old school friend Natasha (Alexandra Fowler), who is married to wealthy property developer Ron (Peter Phelps). The connection between the two couples seems destined to be brief and acrimonious except for one thing: when their

children find romance together, the patter of tiny feet brings on the clashing of egos and then, in usual Williamson fashion, it’s on for young and old. The play has been described as a hilarious snapshot of middle Australia, dealing with ageing, the questionable benefits of materialism and how the errant actions of sons and daughters can affect a long-term marriage. Let the Sunshine, Frankston Arts Centre, 8pm on Friday 23 March and 1pm Saturday 24 March. Bookings: 9784 1060

Nearly felled over ‘anti-women’ jibe By Mike Hast FRANKSTON councillor Colin Hampton could take two News Limited newspapers to the Australian Press Council over a headline and parts of a story on a website late last month. Cr Hampton says the headline in the Melbourne daily Herald Sun ‘Fury over female putdown: Women should forget local politics and look after the kids’ – made it look like he was anti-women. A similar headline appeared on the paper’s website. The story came from the Frankston Standard Leader and was put on the daily newspaper’s website on 24 February. It was about an attempt by Frankston councilors Christine Richards and Sandra Mayer to get council colleagues to support a workshop encouraging more women to run for council at the elections in October. Cr Hampton says he nearly fell off his chair when his wife showed him the story. “The story said I had infuriated my female colleagues by claiming women were too busy to stand for council because they had to look after the kids. I was pointing out that women have more hassles being part of a council than men.” Cr Hampton said the story greatly overstated the reactions of Crs Richards and Mayer. There was no fury from them, he said. Cr Richards said Cr Hampton was entitled to vote any way he wished on council matters. Cr Hampton said he voted against Cr Richards’s motion as he believed it contravened the United Nations declaration of human rights, which states everyone is entitled to rights and freedoms without distinction of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political opinion, birth or other status. “I never said women should not be on councils

and should stay at home,” he said. “The story and headline were an affront to me.” He had helped get three women into state parliament and one almost into the federal parliament, he said. “I worked on campaigns for Maureen Lyster, Jane Hill and Jenny Lindell, and for Helen Constas,” he said.(Ms Lyster was MP for Chelsea Province in the upper house 1985-92, Jane Hill won the seat of Frankston in 1992 and Jenny Lindell held Carrum 1999-2010. Ms Constas gave Dunkley MP Bruce Billson a fright at the 2010 federal election.) Cr Richards said women may be the majority of the population, “but you wouldn’t know it if you walked into most of Victoria’s 79 council chambers”. The Frankston mayor of 2010 said: “Last year less than 30 per cent of councillors and only 23 per cent of mayors were women. We asked our colleagues to help redress the imbalance.” There were only two of nine women on Frankston Council “not because women don’t attract votes, but because not enough women are prepared to stand for election”. “Only 10 women stood for the council in 2008 among 29 candidates. We want to encourage other Frankston women to stand in this year’s local government elections in October. “This is the level of government where you’d be expecting women to shine.” The fuss over Cr Hampton’s remarks has had the unintended effect of bringing the workshop to a wider audience. Mornington Peninsula Shire has four women councillors out of 11, just over the state average.

Thousands due at Easter fun day NEW Peninsula Baptist Church’s annual Free Family Fun Day to celebrate Easter is expected to attract 6000 people to the church in Craigie Rd, Mt Martha. Free activities include amusement rides, crafts for children (face painting, plaster mould painting and woodwork), displays by police, CFA, SES and marine rescue, music, food (barbecue, hot snacks and drinks), four-wheel drive demonstrations, vintage cars and hot rod displays. Event organiser Merv Williams said the fun day would be run by hundreds of volunteers and was the church’s

Easter gift to the community. “We will have the biggest offering of activities, food and rides in the 15-year history of the event,â€? he said. “People are amazed that they walk away after a full day of entertainment without having to pay for a thing.â€? ď Ž New Peninsula Church Free Family Fun Day, 10am on Saturday 17 March, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha. Free parking. Details: 5973 8888, email office@newpeninsula.com.au or visit www.newpeninsula.com.au Fun in sun: A section of the crowd at last year’s event.

Deputy mayor flouts convention to back MP By Mike Hast DEPUTY mayor Cr Anne Shaw has ignored a local government convention by backing federal politician Greg Hunt. In late January, Cr Shaw wrote a letter supporting Mr Hunt’s nomination for pre-selection in the federal seat of Flinders. The Victorian division of the Liberal Party late last month unsurprisingly endorsed Mr Hunt as its candidate for Flinders at the 2013 election. Mr Hunt, who has an office in Hastings, won the seat in 2001 when Peter Reith retired and was re-elected in 2004, 2007 and 2010.

Cr Shaw’s support for the MP breaks a long-standing convention that Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors not get involved in federal politics. The Mt Martha Ward councillor has not broken any law, but The News believes some of her 10 council colleagues are privately annoyed at her action. None would speak on the record, reflecting the council’s mostly successful attempts to project a collegiate public image. Cr Shaw “reference� for Mr Hunt is signed “Councillor Anne Shaw, Deputy Mayor, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council�. In the letter she says

she is “delighted to support the nomination of Hon. Greg Hunt M.P., as Liberal candidate for the Federal seat of Flinders�. “Greg is an exceptional Member of Parliament. I have worked closely with Greg twice in the capacity of Mayor and for nine years as a Councillor of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, I can testify that Greg is a passionate and highly effective advocate for the people of the Flinders electorate.� Cr Shaw describes Mr Hunt as enthusiastic, energetic, well respected and a genuine leader. He has “tremendous support from the community, which he has devel-

oped as a highly popular and visible local member�. She states that “in time he will make a major contribution to the Party’s national future�. Last week, Cr Shaw said Mr Hunt had asked her for a personal reference in support of his pre-selection and “I was happy to do so�. “My letter is not on council letterhead; it’s not an official council document,� she said. Cr Shaw said if it had been on shire letterhead she would have asked her colleagues. Local government councillors in Australia have wrestled with the vex-

ing issue of party politics for many years. Many aspiring councillors or those seeking re-election have gone to the electorate saying they do not belong to the major political parties. Mornington Peninsula Shire councils elected since 1997 have been particularly scrupulous in avoiding party politics. Shire councillors do not hand out how-to-vote cards for politicians. Councillors can be members of major political parties, but often find themselves voting against their Liberal or Labor colleagues in the council chamber.

The

history of your

school

Baxter Primary School – Together we achieve IN 1837 Captain Benjamin Baxter (born in Cork, Ireland) and Martha Baxter and their two daughters arrived in Sydney from Cork, Ireland. In 1839 they moved from Sydney to Melbourne and Captain Baxter took on the position of postmaster at an office located east of Flinders St on the Yarra River. In 1840 Captain Baxter was granted a lease of 15,360 acres (about 6200ha) south of Melbourne. This was known as Baxter’s cattle station and later named ‘Carrup Car-rup’, meaning ‘rising land in the middle of marshes’. Relationships were reportedly good with the local Aboriginal group, the Taltals, part of the Bunurong tribe. John Sage (Sage’s Cottage), an overseer, cattle driver and farmer, was a friend of Captain Baxter. In 1853 Mr Sage married Captain Baxter’s daughter Maria. On 27 May 1890 Langwarrin Railway Station School was established with six rooms. It was near the corner of Moorooduc Highway and Sages Rd. The headmaster was Charles Herbert Whitley. In 1894 there were 59 children enrolled. In March 1902 a new school was built at Mulberry Hill, near

the corner of Golf Links Rd and McClelland Drive. This was the family home of the Lindsey family. In March 1906 the school was renamed Mornington Junction School. In 1914 the name of the school and town area was changed to Baxter, after the area’s first settler Captain Baxter. In March 1943 there were 28 pupils enrolled. On 31 March 1955 the school building was moved to its current location on Larnach Rd at the Six Ways crossroad). A neighbouring school, Bembridge School, was closed at the same time and its school building was also moved to the new Baxter site. In 1958 a school teacher’s residence was built next to the school, where the ‘drop and go’ car park is now. In 1975 the brick classrooms, art room and library were officially opened. They are now used by Years 1 and 2. In November 1984 the school

residence was sold and removed. In 1990 the Centenary Hall was officially opened. In 1995 a large area of land was purchased to enlarge the playing area. This included a soccer field and gardens. In 2002 the enclosed fourclassroom ‘gallery’ area was completed. In 2011 the BER fourclassroom learning centre was opened. Baxter Primary School is in an attractive rural setting. Established in the 1890s the school has had a long and proud service to the community for more than 120 years. The school still has the main 1930s building incorporated into the current administration wing and it is proudly maintained by the school community. Our focus is on teaching and learning, and our goals are aimed at improving all children’s numeracy and literacy skills. The school’s priority is to offer children a stimulating and safe environment that caters for individual needs and encourages every child to strive for excellence in all they do. “Together we achieve.” Andrew Forrest, Principal

While coastal landscapes, such as that of the Nepean Peninsula are highly valued by the wider community for their scenic beauty and for recreational activities, they are also highly desirable as real estate. One of the consequences of increasing suburbanisation has been the loss of character of place. Balancing the economic, social and infrastructure needs of growing residential and tourism communities with environmental sustainability and the capacity of such a sensitive coastal landscape is a considerable planning conundrum. The Nepean Conservation Group is not against development per se, but we are against inappropriate development. We value our planning overlays – environmental and heritage – and we ask

that they are upheld and enforced. We ask that permit applications are just that – requests to vary the stipulations of the overlays – with very sound reasons to do so. Unfortunately, permission is generally granted for any application, unless there is an objection, and then the outcome is generally a compromise of the overlay. When estate agents take to advertising the new large contemporary ‘MacMansions’ on the Nepean Peninsula as “... it’s just like living in the city…”, we know our character of place has been seriously compromised. How are we going to stop simply transplanting the suburb into our fragile coastal environment?

Viewpoint: Nepean Conservation Group members relaxed on the protected lawns of Point Nepean after their annual general meeting. Above right is committee member Richard Holland, with president Ursula de Jong, retiring vice-president Charles Cayless and Anne Cayless.

THE Nepean Conservation Group’s annual general meeting was held on Saturday 18 February at Point Nepean National Park. The NCG deals with issues as diverse as vegetation and development overlays; heritage; townscapes; public access; neighbourhood character; hooded plovers; historic towns and fire protection. In conjunction with Parks Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula Shire the NCG coordinates friends groups that care for bushland parks and coastal reserves, for flora and fauna, on the Nepean Peninsula.

By Ursula de Jong, president Nepean Conservation Group COASTAL areas such as the Nepean Peninsula, the southern part of the Mornington Peninsula, have been undergoing change faster than most other areas in Victoria. Environmental and heritage overlays have not protected the historic town of Sorrento nor its hinterland. Coastal scenic quality is an amenity that attracts new residents, yet is threatened by new development accompanying them. The pressures of the “sea change” phenomenon, increased tourism and holiday home ownership, and ever-improving access have had major impacts.

Renovated to perfection FROM the welcoming feel you get when you push open the white picket gate to the absolute eye-opening grandeur of what’s been accomplished inside, once inside this incredible home you will want to buy and stay. The interior has been meticulously renovated to bring back classic period charm. Superb examples are the polished Baltic pine floorboards and the gorgeous, free-standing Federation green bathtub. Yet the home still offers modern conveniences like a stainless-steel dishwasher and under-bench oven. The kitchen is the standout part of the home – large, bright and functional, it is an entertainer’s dream with tiled splashbacks, pantry and island breakfast bar. The formal lounge has a gas heater with log fire effect and the elegant dining room has a chandelier. There are two bedrooms, both with built-in robes. One is currently used as a study. Outside is an impressive undercover deck with bench seating and extra storage space, and a cosy little courtyard. The backyard has a lawn area and the block has good fences, with drive-through access from the double carport at the front.

AROUND THE PENINSULA

Councillor slams pool ‘news’ By Mike Hast SHIRE councillor Graham Pittock has slammed the shire announcement about the Rosebud aquatic centre, saying it is misleading. “I want to disassociate myself from the press release,” he said. “It’s not telling the whole story.” On Wednesday last week, shire mayor Cr Frank Martin said in the release that state Environment Minister Ryan Smith had consented to a pool complex being built on Rosebud’s foreshore. Cr Martin stated the site identified was adjacent to Rosebud Memorial Hall, and stressed that the size and function of the much-appreciated Village Green would not be impacted. Cr Pittock, last year’s mayor, said the press release was inaccurate as the shire was in the process of seeking per-

mission for a second site for the pool complex, known as the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre or SPA. “The mayor wrote to the environment minister last December seeking permission to build the pool on the foreshore between Rosebud Carnival Park and Rosebud Bowling Club, a distance of about 450 metres,” he said. “Mr Smith has given consent for a site at the carnival park and the adjacent memorial hall, nowhere else. “Now shire officers and CEO Michael Kennedy have asked Mr Smith for permission to build on a site about 250 metres further east. They want to move the lawn bowls club and use its land, but there is not enough space.” Cr Pittock said a large part of the Village Green, which was next to the bowls club, would have to be used.

“For Cr Martin to publicly state the Village Green would not be impacted is a furphy,” he said. Cr Pittock said he had become annoyed at a council briefing on Monday when councillors were told the Village Green was safe. “I had a copy of Frank’s letter in my computer and printed out a dozen copies for all councillors.” He said there was silence in the room after he distributed the letter. Cr Pittock believes he has the support of at least four other councillors in his quest to make the SPA planning process more transparent. The SPA issue will impact on all Mornington Peninsula Shire ratepayers as the costs is expected to be between $30 and $35 million. Dr Kennedy and shire officers have

not yet told the council how they intend to raise the money to build SPA, the second of three aquatic centres planned for the peninsula. The aquatic centre at Hastings, Pelican Park, opened in December 2003 and the third centre will be in Mornington. Frankston Council last year approved a $46 million aquatic centre and said it would be paid for with higher rates, grants from state and federal government, and borrowings. Frankston is debt-free, but the shire owes about $38 million.  The shire is holding a special council meeting about the aquatic centre at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington, at 7pm on Monday 19 March. It has cancelled a development assessments committee meeting that was scheduled for that day.

Cr Graham Pittock.

Pool foreshore go ahead sparks controversy By Mike Hast ENVIRONMENT Minister Ryan Smith’s approval of the aquatic centre on the Rosebud foreshore has been attacked by a Labor MP in state parliament. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Frank Martin said the shire had its long-awaited consent from the government to build the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA). He said it was “a significant milestone in the SPA project, as it completes the coastal consent process, subject to the shire providing information specified by the minister”. But the gloss was taken off the announcement when Upper House MP Johan Scheffer criticised Mr Smith’s approval, telling the parliament “developments on Crown land should be coastal dependent”. “The Victorian Coastal Strategy sets out the conditions that the minister must satisfy in making his decision to give his consent.” “The test here is that the minister must be satisfied that the Rosebud Aquatic Centre could not function unless it was built on the foreshore.” Mr Scheffer called on Mr Smith to release the advice he relied on for the pool approval. The environment minister’s consent is for a site that includes the existing Rosebud Memorial Hall. The hall will be part of the 7500 square metre, two-storey complex that is expected to cost between $30 and $35 million. The hall is in the south-east corner of the building with the bulk of the pool complex on the carnival land. But the shire is also looking at building the pool about 250 metres further east on land partly occupied by Rosebud Bowling Club, which would have to move. This site would also require removal of Rosebud Motor Boat Squadron. The shire would have to return to Minister Smith for approval of this new site.

Grand plan: This is the only map or plan of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre ever publicly released by the shire since the project was first mooted seven years ago shows the Rosebud Memorial Hall at bottom right as part of the two-storey complex. This illustration is of the ground floor only. The Rosebud Yacht Club on the beach is at the top.

Foreshore pool opponents the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association said Mr Smith’s consent was “a Clayton’s approval”. Association president Alan Nelsen said Mr Smith had not approved the Rosebud Coastal Management Plan, which had the pool at its heart. “The minister may have given consent, but he has asked for more information on seven contentious issues,” Dr Nelsen said. These included if the pool had broad-based community support; evidence of so-called net community benefit; a report about coastal vulnerability including storm surges and sea level rise; a proper design of the complex, which the shire had never done; traffic and parking studies; and its economic viability and how the shire would pay for it. Dr Nelsen said another $1 million on reports would have to be spent by the shire, but “we still won’t have certainty”. “The association has never opposed an aquatic centre in Rosebud, but it must not be built on the foreshore.” He said the shire’s stubborn determination over seven years to secure a foreshore had cost millions. “The cost of the pool has gone up from $18 to more than $30 million. “Frankston gained $12.5 million for its pool from the government, but money is no longer available.” Dr Nelsen, a retired engineer, said building an aquatic centre on the foreshore would cost more than inland.

AROUND THE PENINSULA

Bird guards told to go after beach fight By Keith Platt VULNERABLE hooded plover chicks are being left unguarded at St Andrews beach after volunteer “wardens” were ordered out of the area by Parks Victoria. The Parks ban followed a dog owner allegedly attacking a member of Shorebird Shepherd on Saturday March 3 as he was protecting two chicks. The assault and subsequent ban has already sparked new calls for dogs to be banned throughout the entire Mornington Peninsula National Park or have them limited to one or two defined areas. Volunteer plover guard Malcolm Brown said he was pushed to the ground after he photographed an unleashed dog at the beach. Mr Brown said the irate dog owner tried to grab the iPhone he had used to take images of the man and his dog. The images were given to police at Rosebud and Parks Victoria, but the next day Parks suspended “all hooded plover wardening and field related volunteering activities within the Mornington Peninsula National Park”. An email from ranger Darren Mitchell said Parks would review the incident and asked that all volunteers be told to keep away. Mr Brown said he had been guarding two nine-day-old plover chicks at St Andrews when tackled to the ground by a dog walker “obviously upset by the national park dog walking regulations”. He said he was left with minor abrasions but believes “the dog walker left

the beach with a broken tooth”. Volunteers from Shorebird Shepherd said the chicks were alive and well the following day. “While the hooded plover population on the Mornington Peninsula has been stable for many years, this breeding season has been the worst in the past decade,” Mr Brown said. “Of the 50 attempts by hooded plovers to nest in the national park this summer, only three chicks have lived longer than 20 days.” Mr Brown said there were fewer than 600 hooded plovers in Victoria. A spokesman for SPIFFA (Southern

Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association) said the incident highlighted “problems with having volunteers try to influence public behaviour”. “The one incident shutting the whole shebang down also serves to illustrate the precarious nature of the current situation. Now the birds are officially unsupervised altogether,” he said. “Blind Freddy can see that a crucial level Parks management is not serious about preserving this particular population and that dogs carry more weight than endangered species in this national park.” The spokesman said Parks “barely tolerate the volunteer wardens, but it’s

cheap and looks like they’re actually doing something that has an impact on the threats and, more importantly, keeps the activists busy”. He said members of SPIFFA would be asked to advocate there be no dogs allowed in the national park, which stretches along the coast from Flinders to Portsea. Signatures would be collected for an online petition at the www.spiffa.org website, which received 200 hits a day. “The organised dog walker people seem to concentrate on the Blairgowrie front beach and pretend that dogs on the back beach issue isn’t in their

remit. I can’t see them raising a peep as a group. “They ignored the working group invitation and dealt themselves out of the management planning. “What are the impediments to providing strategic, dog-friendly beaches that are easily accessible and in a central location, such as Rye back beach and Sorrento back beach and banning dogs in the rest of the national park? “What are the impediments to instituting strictly enforced temporary beach closures to people and dogs during critical times in the breeding cycle (from nesting to fledging)?”

She has been cruising around Australia for three weeks.

HISTORY

A gathering of the Wilsons THE Western Port Festival parade, previously known as the Hastings Day parade, on Saturday 25 February included an entry of the HastingsWestern Port Historical Society – a variety of cars, a truck and a tractor. They were on show after the parade at the Hastings Museum precinct. Although the weather was extremely hot, the museum had displays of children’s artwork, the 40 pounder 1864 Armstrong gun, the Johanna fishing boat, Dad’s Shed and photos of earlier Hastings. Visitors were able to partake of Devonshire tea in the historic c1900 Pioneer Cottage and also to purchase cottage garden plants. Wilsons gather Recently at the Hastings Museum descendants of the Wilson family gathered. There have been a number of Wilson families living in the area but not all are related. The descendants who gathered were from the William Sorell Wilson and William McDonald Wilson lines. The brothers were born in Tasmania in 1822 and 1830 and came to Victoria in 1856. They tried their luck on the goldfields and eventually settled on the peninsula at Mornington and Hastings. Their parents, William Hartley and Margaret, were free settlers from Scotland who arrived in Hobart in 1820. William Hartley Wilson was appointed state architect but resigned in 1824 as he felt his salary was not sufficient for his responsibilities. He became an overseer of convicts build-

Tennis in 1920s ing the Richmond Bridge. There is a plaque recognising his involvement on one of the pillars of the bridge. William Sorell Wilson was baptised in Hobart by Reverend Bobby Knopwood, the first chaplain of the colony. William lived at Hastings with his family and is buried at Tyabb Cemetery at Hastings. His nephew, William McDonald Wilson (son of John), also lived at Hastings (pictured above with his sister Ellen). Shirley Davies, vice-president of Hastings-Western Port Historical Society, continues the family connection of her great-grandfather at Hastings. Wilson Ave in Bittern is named after the family. William Sorell Wilson owned considerable land in the area in the 1880s. For the Hastings get-together the

Wilson family came from various parts of Melbourne and the country to plan and discuss further research into the family.

THIS photo, taken about 1925, includes players and family members of the Balnarring Tennis Club. In the 1920s the court was at the Balnarring Cricket and Sports Reserve on Balnarring Rd, between the cricket oval and the road. Tennis as a social sport was very popular in the early years. Balnarring had a competitive team that played at least as early as 1908. That year it was noted that Balnarring had “played Dromana and whopped them”. Among the players pictured are Ron Stone, Les Cole, L Mairs and Violet Davis.

The Floods of Moorooduc, Mornington and Tyabb By Peter McCullough THIS is a part 2 of the family history as told by 83-year-old Roy Flood. In part 1 we read about Roy’s great-grandfather James Flood, his grandparents George and Harriet Flood and his parents Cliff and Elsa. In this edition we learn something of Roy himself. In Part 3 we will have an account of Elsa’s family, the Bieri’s of Mornington, and some information on Tyabb Primary School which played a significant role in the life of the Floods. Apologies to Roy for an error made by The News in last weeks story: although he was referred to as Roy at the start, by the end he was Ray. Sorry about that, Roy! Part 2 – Roy’s Story ROY’S schooling started at Tyabb State School in 1934. With his brother and sister he would walk to school although sometimes they would get a ride from the baker (Mr. Moore) or the butcher ( Mr. Sage), both from Somerville. At times Roy would get a ride on the way home on the back of Ron Benton’s horse; it spent the day in the paddock on the west side of the school. Christmas 1936 was when Roy received his first pushbike; “I can still remember Dad holding it on the side of the old Chev car as we came home from Mornington.” That put an end to walking to school. Later he was given Alan’s racing bike and that lasted for many years. “I remember one day we were going fishing and I was riding my bike down Graydens Road and Charlie Hodgins was coming the other way driving five cows. Just as I got near them the last three cows decided to change sides. I hit the last one on the rump and went right over, finishing with the bike on top of me and a very buckled front wheel”, Roy recalls. When Roy went to work with Alan at John W. Stamps in 1944 he enrolled at Collingwood Tech to do his trade

schooling. He received his certificate in 1949, and then did a management course at RMIT which was paid for by Stamps. After the pushbikes the boys graduated to motor bikes. Alan had an early 350 SV BSA which during the war was run on power kerosene as petrol was rationed. Roy and he

would ride it to Frankston, leave it at a friend’s place and catch the train to Melbourne. Then they would catch the tram to Carlton where they boarded with a family and from where they could walk to work. In 1946 Roy bought a 1923 V twin 750 Harley Davidson and side car from a friend of Monty Middleton at Main Ridge and Alan bought a Royal Enfield 500SV which he put a sidecar on at times. In 1948 Roy bought a new 500OHV AJS which cost 240 pounds; he was 20 years old. Alan then bought a 500OHV Norton which cost 270 pounds, and their friend Bruce Smith bought a 500 OHV Aerial which cost 260 pounds. Russell Pullen had a 350 OHV twin Triumph. They went on many trips in those early years. Roy’s first set of four wheels was an ex-service Fargo van from Stamps (1932) which he bought in 1952. It was most reliable and Jean and he went on their honeymoon in it to Geelong and Warrnambool in 1953. Between that year and 1984 they lived in the old house built by Cliff in 1920: it was then demolished and replaced by a two story brick veneer. The old house saw the arrival of sons Gary (born 1955), Rob (1957), and Jamie (1962) and daughter Cathie (1970). For 25 years Alan and Roy operated the Tyabb garage under the name of A & R Flood Pty Ltd. They carried out car and truck repairs and repairs to farm machinery. They also manufactured fork lifts to be mobile or tractor mounted to suit the smaller cool stores that were around the district. Roy then became a shopkeeper, owning Beach Side Hardware in

Mt. Martha between 1983 and 1986. During the following 10 years he operated Doveton Hardware with his son, Rob. Jean and Roy moved to Mt. Martha 11 years ago and Jean enjoyed good health until she was diagnosed with cancer about 4 years ago. She passed away on 14 December last year. (The Western Port News of 20 December, 2011 printed Jean’s obituary-Ed.) During his time in the garage at Tyabb Roy made a go-kart and belonged to the Mornington Peninsula Go-Kart Club. He raced on a track at the back of Rosebud and their go- kart was an open-space frame with a 125cc BSA motor bike motor in it. It went very well most times. He was picked to race at Seymour for the Victorian championships but did not win; by then they were importing flexible frames and hot motors from the USA. They really flew. The go-kart eventually became Roy’s lawn mower. Alan and Roy also made a 16 foot plywood runabout which started with

an Austin 7 motor and finished with an A40 motor. They had many good fishing trips out on Western Port in this boat. During his time on the farm Roy only had two tractors. The first was a 1949 E27N petro/kero model Fordson which he paid 450 pounds for. He bought it in Red Hill and drove it home. His other tractor was a Caterpillar R4 petro/kero ex-US army track model with blade and tree pusher on the front. He bought it for 1000 pounds and sold it for $3,000. Apart from family and work, the other major interest in Roy’s life has been scouting. He first joined the scouts in 1939 when the hall was in Peacock Lane. This hall was built around 1932 on land that was given to the scouts by Tyabb Coolstores and a floor was put in during 1933.The saw mill was erected in front of the hall around 1938. The Scout Masters in those days were P.A. Twyford (known as PAT), Fred Renouf, Harold Thornell and Ken

Grant. Some of the scouts were Bob Houfe (Troop Leader), Gaza Shaw, his brother Alan, Eric Unthank, John and Peter Willoughby, Neville Shaw, Neville Mair, Les Thornell and a few more making up two patrols. In 1941 Roy went to 1st Frankston Scout Group which met in the hall near the High School. The Scout Master was Bob Holland who had been an excellent leader for many years and who did a great job during the war years. In 1943 when the family returned to the farm Roy rejoined Tyabb and obtained his 1st Class badge. When he went to work in Melbourne in 1944 he gave scouting away. In 1949 it was decided that the scout

hall in Tyabb should be moved to its present location on the border of the Recreation Reserve. A nominal rent of one shilling a year was set. Gary joined the cubs at Tyabb in 1964 and, after much discussion, Roy was persuaded to become Group Leader which he did in 1966. Robert and Jamie also went through cubs and scouts. In May 1969 Roy was appointed District Scout Leader, Frankston District, and later became Assistant District Commissioner with Ken Cameron as District Commissioner. In 1977 it was decided to alter the Districts, including Tyabb, Somerville and Hastings into the Mornington District with Roy as District Commissioner, a warrant he

held for 12 years. He then became District President for 6 years. Finally after 30 years as an adult leader he retired to spend more time at home but, having taken up golf in 1990, he found it soon absorbed most of his spare time. Roy attended the 1st Pacific Jamboree in Fiji in 1973 as a Troop Leader in charge of 36 boys and 4 leaders, and had a great time. He also attended the 16th World Jamboree at Cataract Scout Park in NSW in 198788. “Scouting is very time consuming, but also very rewarding; I hope it goes on for ever,” Roy said. Another interest was football. Roy joined the Tyabb Club in 1947 and,

when it disbanded, transferred to Hastings where he played 133 senior games, mainly as a backman. The Western Port News published on 14 September 2010 contained a story titled “The Footballing Floods” by Vic Jeremiah. It told of the contribution made to the Hastings Football Club by Roy and his sons. More recently Roy has taken up golf playing mainly at Mornington where he has won a few trophies. In 1978 Roy became a JP and served in that capacity for 27 years. He is also an ex-member of the Tyabb Fire Brigade and was on the Tyabb Recreation Ground Committee. He was on the School Council of the State School and is an ex-member of the

Tyabb Cricket Club and Mornington Golf Club. Roy played junior cricket for Tyabb before going to the city to work. When he returned home to take over the garage with Alan he resumed and was made captain of the thirds. At various levels he played 96 games over about 15 years. Roy has always enjoyed the challenge of making things; apart from the go-kart and boat, he has also painstakingly restored a 1925 Rugby Roadster motor car and a 1951 Bantam BSA motor cycle. However his proudest achievement is the grandfather clock which he made for the loungeroom. Next weeek: The Bieri family

A lifetime of scouting Scouting started for Roy with a tent in the backyard. After a life of service, he was awarded the Medal of Merit in 1989 by Chief Scout in Australia, Sir Ninian Stephens.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Master of the puppets By Stuart McCullough THE youth group was something to do on a Friday night. It was a place to catch up with your friends and run around the church hall for a couple of hours before being picked up by parents. But within this social gathering of carefree young people there existed an elite, highly specialised unit. Rather than play games for a couple of hours, they devoted their time to the noble art of puppetry. I was then as I am now – in total awe of their talent. More than anything, I wanted to be included. The puppetry division of the youth group went to various churches performing short skits to entertain children. These days, of course, attempts to entertain children have been abandoned in favour of the PS3. All scripts were devised by the group. While the results were hardly Shakespearian, it ought to be remembered there’s not a single work of the Bard suitable for performance at a Sunday morning church service. The puppeteers were the closest thing to a performing arts ensemble in the greater Hastings area. I had no creative outlet to speak of at the time and I desperately needed something. But, like any high-level team, they didn’t allow just anyone to bowl up and start doing sketches; you had to earn your place – by building your own puppet. After declaring my life’s ambition was to become a puppeteer, I was handed a needle, thread, foam and offcut material, along with the direction to “get cracking”.

When Neil Young sang about “needle and the damage done”, I doubt he was talking about sewing a puppet. But as I got to work, I harpooned myself so many times my hands looked as if I’d been juggling a couple of echidnas. While my desire to perform ran deep, the needle ran even deeper. By the end, I needed so many bandages that had I sewn buttons for eyes; they would have passed for puppets. Nothing went right. While I worked as closely to the blueprint as I could,

the results were not as other puppets. While the others were neat and in proportion, mine was fundamentally skew-whiff. Without exception, it was the pug-ugliest puppet to ever have the misfortune of being created. It had an oversized head that gave it more than a passing resemblance to Humpty Dumpty after he went out backwards off the wall. It was more likely to frighten children than entertain them. In a desperate bid to mask its

ROMANCE ADVENTURE MYSTERY THE MEANING OF

EXISTENCE (AND OTHER SHORT STORIES)

STUART McCULLOUGH

This book has none of these things. What it does have is short stories and long laughs.

hideous visage, I decided to give it a feature that distinguished it from every other puppet in the company – age. Thus ‘Grandpa’ was born by means of some white carpet for hair that skirted around its skull and a pair of crudely fashioned wire glasses. When I unveiled Grandpa, there was a slight gasp from the other puppeteers. After a short intermission and some heated debate, I was permitted to enter the fold. It was a dream come true. Not a particularly good dream – probably one of those you enjoy at that time but of which you can’t remember a single detail once you wake up kind of deals – but a dream nevertheless. I finally got a chance to do something creative. I even got to sneak a couple of jokes into the script. Initial misgivings aside, with the introduction of an older cast member, the puppet troupe went, if not from strength to strength, then at least from one morning church service to another. The thing about puppetry is that it is physically demanding. We would kneel behind the curtain and hold the puppets above our heads. Some of these skits went for 10 or more minutes. After the first 60 seconds or so, the blood drained from your arm and you began to lose all feeling. Your knees started to cramp and you experienced a strange sensation along the length of your spine. I realise that many people might suggest that knees don’t get cramps, but I can only say in response that these people have never been on the business end of a puppet.

There’s an old expression about someone having the weight of the world on their shoulders. Nobody talks about having the weight of a puppet on their shoulders, but they should. When you’re knees-down behind a curtain and trying to operate a puppet that, all of the sudden, seems to weigh a lot more than it did 10 minutes ago, you know what physical commitment is. Before I was ever in a band, I was in a puppet troupe. During my first major public performance, everything was going perfectly until disaster and a chronic case of hand-cramp struck. Let me say that when the mouth on the puppet no longer moves, it’s not puppetry – it’s just sticking your hand in the air. It would never happen in this day and age. At the very first sign of muscular paralysis, a team of trainers would be all over you, squirting brightly coloured electrolyte drinks into your mouth and giving your arms and shoulders a rub down. Back then, you were abandoned to the forces of nature. From behind the curtain, I could hear people starting to snigger. It soon blossomed into full-blown laughter, drowning out my wonderful dialogue. It was here that my life as a puppeteer began and ended. For the most part, I try to put it out of my mind, but it’s a losing battle. Even today, I can barely pick up a sock without wanting to put it over my hand. For I may have left puppetry, but it has never wholly left me. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance A NEW era of music excitement came over me on Friday 2 March when my old music companion 3MP came through the car stereo. Troubled talk radio station MTR had come to a grinding halt at 5pm and former Frankston-based 3MP had come out of hibernation; although it is on a digital radio channel. MTR had a flashy launch with names like Steve Price, Sam Newman, Jason Akermanis and Andrew Bolt, but while they had a star-studded onair team, the weak signal in parts of Melbourne was a setback. In the end MTR didn’t move above 2 per cent audience share, although Steve Price approached 3 per cent. MTR was never able to challenge commercial talk station leader 3AW. MTR was taking some programs from Sydney, and this was never going to work. I contacted Steve Price prior to MTR’s launch suggesting he needed a good lead-in to his breakfast show with a local, live midnight to dawn show. The suggestion was based on a bit of experience – I presented midnightdawn shifts at 3UZ, 3AK and SEN after stints doing breakfast on 3CV, drive 3CS, weekends 3GL and nights

at 4BU. 3MP was born in the Bayside shopping centre in Frankston in 1976, ‘MP’ standing for Mornington Peninsula. Announcers included Shawn Cosgrove, Steve Meechan, Dean Matters, Keith McGowan, Mark Irvine and Jane Holmes. Former MIX FM program director Mark Johnson joined 3MP/SEN as joint program director and lifted the easy listening format to a more modern, contemporary format. On Friday night, driving to and from my favourite Mt Eliza restaurant, 3MP was blasting through the car stereo.

Deborah and I were singing along to Simon and Garfunkel, Steve Winwood, The Monkees, Hot Chocolate, Gerry Rafferty and others. For many years Brisbane AM music station 4KQ Classic Hits has drawn a healthy constant ratings of about 7 per cent. There’s no reason Pacific Star Network, joint owner of MTR, can’t consider relaunching 3MP with a new team. Surely they can only improve on the doleful ratings of MTR. Welcome back 3MP. www.3mp.com.au *** JIM Keays formed the Masters Apprentices, originally called the Mustangs, in Adelaide in the mid-Sixties before heading to Melbourne in 1966 where the band signed a recording contract with Astor Records and released its first hit Undecided. I caught up with Jim Keays recently while he was flying across the country to promote his new solo album Dirty Dirty (Shock). “By the time we recorded Undecided we knew we had something going for us. We’d built up quite a live following. While Undecided was a big hit, band members preferred Wars or

Hands of Time,” Keays said. It was the start of a journey that saw more than 10 Top 40 hits. Recently Jim’s close friend Ted Lethborg compiled a heap of obscure garage punk/psycho pop songs and brought them to Jim. “I thought the idea was a bit silly and thought people would say it is unusual for me to do this type of project. “But it was fun going back to my musical roots and attempting to capture the first flush of excitement that I felt back then when we practised in a garage.” The new album, recorded at the Hot House St Kilda, has produced the single Whisky Woman. Other tracks include Midnight Bus, Time Has Come Today, Save My Soul, and Mystic Eyes, and early reports have the album selling very well. “I didn’t want to record Midnight Bus, but other people said put it on the album.” Due to health issues with myeloma cancer, Jim is unable to perform live gigs but insists he will do a showcase gig for the official album launch. “If I could perform live I would, but my ongoing treatment with various drugs and bone marrow takes its toll on my energy levels.”

males than females, truly believe themselves to know all the answers? Where does this conceit come from? Worse, and consistently, they arrive at this conclusion when they are barely halfway through living a life. Believe me, you need longer. Even the younger ones, a couple and a newly arrived baby, suddenly know all the answers? Worse are the many after completing a university degree on any subject, including medicine; even psychology for goodness sake? Presto, their wisdom extends to all areas. “Be not wise in thine own eyes” – King Solomon. *** According to my “bible” (News for Seniors) I can earn $3000 plus a year without affecting my pension, which is about my yearly beer expenditure give or take a thousand depending on the company. Perhaps I should be thinking outside the square, or is it the circle? What jobs are on offer that were not on offer in my day; 1943? Aha! A counsellor? Everybody needs counselling it seems. “The provision of financial counselling is critical in helping people to understand their options and in helping them to get back on their feet.” I could do a course of study for 12 months resulting in a Diploma of

Counselling. But wait, they’re not all in work, so there would be a preferential, “who you know” operating system. And, I’m not a female. Yes, I’ll drink water; that or stop smoking. *** BACK to Foxtel sport for six months until Collingwood’s last match of 2012. There may well be no commercials during playing time, but how to cope with football experts (ex-players?) during and between quarters? They all talk too much but, please, don’t let Dermott call the Collingwood games. His supposed insights are boring, nice bloke though he may be. Then there’s AFL 360 four nights a week with self-righteous Gerard Whateley (he would say insightful?) and Herald Sun Essendon publicist Mark Robinson. One night was difficult enough but four? Thankfully there’s On The Couch to balance out most of the rubbish; also After The Bounce, which is worse than AFL 360 and League Teams (but no Brian Taylor) before the season proper starts. The only real value for the extra $96 is seeing a match without the commercials after every goal. Go Nathan. *** THE secret is out. It began in earnest about 10 years ago and has gradually

become more and more known. Our Mornington Peninsula is the place to be, particularly after a visit to Melbourne’s world of chaos. There’s still much to be done however, like upgrading public transport, better internet access and the establishment of a swimming pool complex across the road from the Rye Hotel. It’s obvious the train line should be extended from Frankston to Mornington, the bus service at least doubled and a solution to the Point Nepean Rd bottleneck between Rosebud and Rye. Internet access, a lifeline for many, should be demanded. The swimming pool? Well, we live in hope as always. Perhaps a move to the Western Port side of the peninsula; more peace, serenity, fewer dreadfully designed new units going up in any vacant space. If the carnival remains I suggest the Truemans Rd tip as the spot to set it up. *** TED’S big pre-election promise: the establishment of a broad-based anticorruption commission by July 2010 giving new powers to investigate everyone except politicians. No? Politicians are included? It’s all so amusing.

By Gary Turner Jim’s solo album Boy From the Stars (EMI) remains one of my favourites and I was at Dallas Brooks Hall in 1974 for the visually spectacular launch and witnessed the amazing production at Sunbury. Players on Dirty Dirty are Davey Lane (guitar, vocals), Ted Lethborg (bass, vocals), Brett Wolfenden (drums, vocals) and Jim Keays (vocals, harmonica). Guests include Dan Mansfield (organ) and Craig Harnath (maracas). It was mastered by Gil Matthews and produced by Ted Lethbord. www.jimkeays.com *** SHOCK Records has given The News copies of Dirty Dirty to give away. To win one, write your name and address on the back of an envelope and tell us what 1970s Masters Apprentices song was re-recorded and hit the Top 10 again. Send to Jim Keays CD Contest, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915.

A Grain of Salt THE following information is easily available, but due to the consistent knowledge (?) I receive from people who claim to know the truth, I’ll restate it here: asylum seekers do not have automatic access to Centrelink payments, or get a health card, or automatic emergency relief services, or job services or public housing. For every 1000 people, we have one refugee seeking (by right) asylum and in most cases because leaving was a matter of life and death. Yes, there is a resource centre to help these displaced people, and so there should be. *** SO Magda has “come out” of the closet, or the wardrobe, or wherever. Good for Magda, but why is it such big news? The lady is an actress and, believe me, sexual preferences are a non-event in the arty farty world of the “arts”, as they should be. If it was an AFL footballer coming out – wow! And when he ran onto the field we would see and hear first-hand the ratbags of the world “coming out” as ratbags. If the AFL vilification laws are in full force, we may require all of Premier Baillieu’s 940 new Protective Service Officers on hand to evict the many minuscule minds. Go Magda. *** WHY do so many people, more

Joke!!! ON a special teacher’s day, a kindergarten teacher was receiving gifts from her pupils. The florist’s son handed her a gift. She shooked it, held it over her head, and said, “I bet I know what it is - flowers!” “That’s right!” said the boy, “but how did you know?” “Just a wild guess,” she said. The next pupil was the candy store owner’s daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shooked it, and said, “I bet I can guess what it is - a box of candy!” “That’s right! But how did you know?” asked the girl. “Just a lucky guess,” said the teacher. The next gift was from the liquor store owner’s son. The teacher held the bag over her head and noticed that it was leaking. She touched a drop of the leakage with her finger and tasted it. “Is it wine?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied. The teacher repeated the process, touching another drop of the leakage to her tongue. “Is it champagne?” she asked. “No,” the boy replied. The teacher then said, “I give up, what is it?” The boy replied, “A puppy!”

ANSWER:

By Cliff Ellen Even those who rely on that smaller daily newspaper for their political knowledge know it’s double Dutch, like Ted’s poker machines promises. A showpiece of the perfect mirage. How can Premier Ted lament job losses while announcing the probable sacking of 3600 public servants? Then again, he hasn’t sacked the underpaid nurses yet. *** Politics explained: Next Tuesday, which you know is Monday, there’ll be a mothers’ meeting for fathers only. Admission free, pay at the door, bring your own seat and sit on the floor. There’ll be real live monkeys stuffed with straw. And men eating cooked potatoes raw. Mzzz Melody reigns, for now.

Saturday night at the drive-in

Tapping in to social days bakery and collect the pies. Before this happened, someone would take the tap out and test the depth with a broom handle, and it would be decided that it was most essential another barrel be procured. Now this had to be done very stealthily, as the pub closed at 6, but we always managed to be successful. With the second keg, the experts, generally about three by this time, always managed to do a better job. Or at least they seemed to. It was at one of these nights, at about 2 in the morning, that the idea of conducting an Empire [Commonwealth] Games originated. We had a 50-, 100-, and 200-yard dash across the ground, and to make it more official Frank Kerr went home and got his shotgun to start each race. How he did not manage to shoot some of them I will never know. When the runners were halfway across the ground

Got any sport news?

in the 200 yarder, Frank let fly with the second barrel, just over their heads. One of the competitors was Charlie “Rainbow� Gresham, so named because his hair appeared to be a different colour from different angles. Charlie fancied himself as a bit of a sprinter but was of a nervous disposition; he was going so fast at the finish that he went straight through the tea-tree and into the creek. The Games came to an abrupt end during the third lap of the bike race, when some idiot stretched a rope across the track and there was one hell of a crash. There were wheels, spokes and bodies lying everywhere, and underneath the pile was our secretary, Dall Haddock, complaining that half his ribs were broken We did not have the facilities of the present players, but boy did we have some fun. They were indeed days to be remembered. From Blue Power (written by the late Norm Francis).

TODAY we have our carpeted social club with dinner dances, discos and such, but the social lot of players in years gone by was very different. We had two, maybe three, pie nights a year. I can remember one night conducted under the grandstand in a room 12 foot by eight and half full of old “Digger’s� treasures. The keg arrived about 7 o’clock, which was carried in by a couple of blokes, placed on a rubbing down trestle, with a boot each side to stop it from rolling about. Then followed the usual argument among about a dozen experts on how to belt the tap in. The loss of precious fluid during this operation was generally about a gallon due, no doubt, to the treatment the barrel had received on its journey from the pub to its final resting place on the table. What was left was a problem also. It was hard to get anything but froth out of the first half, while the remainder was always a bit flat. About 9 o’clock someone would be detailed to go to the

The company opened in March 1982 with just two employees on 1000 square metres of land. In the early days staff had to wear gumboots as there was no concrete or bitumen and the area after rain was ankledeep in mud. At the time Everist mainly supplied fencing and landscape materials to a small customer base. With the recent purchase of an adjoining property, Everist now has 16,000sqm of space including 900sqm of hardware space, a large office and a staff amenities area on the upper floor with a kitchen, shower and meeting room. The company now has 14 employees. Everist Timber now sports an unmissable presence in town with huge signs, and two road frontages. With

deliveries coming in the back, customers have an unrivalled experience in the yard. The business is a great success story; it has weathered the times and seen recessions come and go. More recently has seen the arrival of “big box� competition, but thanks to a loyal and parochial customer base, Everist Timber has continued to grow. It is little wonder as owner Richard Everist is a man who lives and breathes Hastings. A champion footballer in his time, his business is now heavily involved in many aspects of the town, with a particular focus on sports. A major sponsor of three local football clubs, the company also supports the local tennis club, golf club and bowling club as well as 10 local schools. Everist Timber stocks virtually all of the items that a builder or carpenter would require when building a project of any size, from replacing a post on the verandah

to building a million dollar home. This ranges from stumps and sub floor materials, framing and insulation, timber flooring, doors, windows and architrave to exterior cladding, decking and landscaping timber and materials. Everist also supplys timber for rural contracting and suburban house fencing. They supply all standard auxiliary items required for construction, including cement sheet products, ply and MDF sheeting, concrete and cement and select hardwood and pine. There is also an extensive range of hardware and tools. The company pride itself on a superior level of customer service that sees customers coming back time and time again. The people at Everist Timber are very proud of their achievements over the past 30 years, and would like to thank the community for its ongoing support.
