Laughter the key to 65 happy years NGAIRE and William Domon of Hastings celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary last Thursday. Both turned 90 in September and celebrated their birthdays with family at Hastings Seniors Citizens Club. The couple met at Blackpool in the United Kingdom and married in Nottingham on 1 November 1947. William, a Canadian, was working in a cafe when they met, and had retired from the army. Ngaire, who was born in New Zealand, got a job in the same cafe. They met in March and married in November. Ngaire and William retired to Australia in 1984 after living in England for 16 years and Canada for nearly 36 years. They say the key to a long marriage is enjoying each other’s company and finding the amusing side to life, quite obvious when you see how much they laugh. Happy days: Ngaire and William in their garden. Picture: Yanni

Different dredge rules By Mike Hast THE Department of Sustainability and Environment says it authorised dredged spoil from the Tooradin boat launching ramp to be pumped into the channel as it had the potential to become acid sulfate soil. More than 1000 cubic metres of silt and sediment was pumped into the Tooradin Channel last month, bring-

ing a chorus of complaints from both anglers and environmentalists. A cutter suction dredge took a week to pump spoil 1000 metres downstream on outgoing tides, making the popular fishing area waters turbid and putting a whitish grey plume down the channel and into Western Port. Fishing experts say whiting will not be caught in the Tooradin Channel, a

popular destination for Western Port fishers, for at least three months. The previous two times the boat ramp was dredged saw spoil pumped onto land and placed in a coffer dam. The decision to allow so-called outflow dredging at Tooradin is curious given DSE is making the Crib Point Stony Point foreshore committee of management’s contractor pump spoil

from the Stony Point ramp onto land (see box Page 3). A DSE spokesperson said the Tooradin dredging had been authorised under the Coastal Management Act 1995 “Parks Victoria also granted the [foreshore committee] a works authority permit,” they said. “Several conditions were attached to the consent including measures to

minimise turbidity and close monitoring of spoil disposal. At any time during the dredging operations, EPA may direct the operator to suspend or modify the operations. “The dredge spoil at Tooradin is fine silt and has the potential to become acid sulfate soil, which can be harmful when oxidised.

Our youngest councillor MT Eliza university student Andrew Dixon has a new interest in his busy life – Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. The 25-year-old was perhaps a surprising winner at the council election when he grabbed the last of three seats in Briars Ward, the new super ward that takes in the former Mt Eliza, Mornington and Balcombe (Mt Martha) wards. Cr Dixon joins his Briars colleagues Bev Colomb of Mornington and Anne Shaw of Mt Eliza in representing more than 42,000 voters. Many judges thought Leigh Eustace, who had represented Mt Eliza since 2008, would be elected, but the 11-candidate field revealed in late September and the preference deals done between candidates muddied the waters. When the calculation button was pushed at Rosebud TAFE at about 10pm on Sunday night last week, more than two hours later than scheduled, the candidates with fewest votes were eliminated and their preferences distributed to higher-scoring people. The same process occurred as first Anne Shaw reached the quota of 25 per cent and then Bev Colomb, with their “spare” votes allocated to candidates still in the hunt. Andrew Dixon was the third and last elected, setting off scenes of congratulations and joy from supporters, other councillors, his dad Greg Dixon and his girlfriend Cait Whelan. He partly attributed his success to new media. “I had a website and a Facebook page, and asked people to send me

their ideas and suggestions as well as spread the word about my campaign,” he said. Cr Dixon said he hoped to keep his website, but The News understands he may be asked to take it down under local government governance rules. The youngest councillor since the shire was formed in 1994 is studying arts and business at Monash University’s Caulfield campus. He hopes to graduate next August or September after completing a summer unit and a full semester of four subjects next year. Cr Dixon ran a low-key campaign,

printed just 3000 flyers where other candidates printed 20,000 plus, had two signs that were nicked soon after he put them up, and was kicked out of Bentons Square and Centro shopping centres before he had time to talk with shoppers. He has been a member of the Mornington branch of the Liberal Party for about three years, but has no ambition for higher office. “I’m just delighted to be elected to the council and give young people a voice,” he said.

At Hastings Family Dental we believe that caring for your children’s teeth from an early age is of the utmost importance. Children’s teeth need to be looked after gently and carefully. Baby teeth or primary teeth help children to speak clearly and chew, they also pave the way for secondary teeth. By following a simple dental routine, you can help give your children healthy teeth and gums. It is very important not to wait until your child experiences a toothache to visit the dentist. By having routine check-ups from an early age, it can help to eliminate the fear of the dental setting and establish a good dental routine they can follow throughout their lives. The first visit is usually a short one. Our aim is to give your child a chance to get to know our fantastic dental team and experience our modern clinic in a friendly and non-threatening manner. During this visit our dental team will do the following: Cavity risk assessment Examine your child’s teeth for decay Examine your child’s gums and soft tissue for disease or problems Evaluate the way your child’s teeth fit together, “the bite”. Identify any potential problems or deleterious habits. Show you and your child how to properly clean his or her teeth at home.

A tale of two dredging protocols Continued from Page 1 “Pumping the spoil to an underwater location minimises the potential release of sulfuric acid into Western Port.” Although DSE says the Environment Protection Authority “may direct the operator to suspend or modify the operations” when the EPA was contacted by The News, it said “the steps for a planning permit don’t involve EPA apart for comment”. EPA spokeswoman Tanya O’Shea said: “The Department of Natural Resources and Environment [sic: DSE] receives applications and forwards them to EPA for consideration before a decision is taken on issuing consent.” Doug Newton of Western Port Seagrass Partnership said the group had “sought advice from its expert panel” about the Tooradin dredging and “discharge of spoil to the channel”. “Our port, seagrass and marine experts all concur that the best practice is the one set down in the EPA dredging guidelines and note that this has been the approach used in previous maintenance dredging at this site,” Mr Newton said. “We sought advice from both DSE and EPA as to why this standard approach had been abandoned and asked that the dredging be deferred until we had been briefed and allowed to consider any scientific advice that may have been used to justify the decision and to provide evidence to us that no adverse impact would result. “Our appeal to DSE has not been responded to, even though we copied our concerns to the Minister for the Environment. “Our approach to Hastings MP Neale Burgess, although acknowledged by his electorate assistant, has nevertheless gone unanswered. “Conversations with EPA suggest that they never received a referral or were not asked to comment on the proposal. “The dredging has occurred in the meantime and it is clear that DSE either does not have the capacity to respond to our reasonable requests or is unable to justify its instruction to Parks Victoria to abandon best practice, or is too arrogant to bother responding. “Whatever the reason, it is unacceptable and rings alarm bells about proper process and due diligence. How can we be assured the bigger issue of the Port of Hastings development can be conducted in a professional way and the environment protected when even a small project like dredging a boat ramp can be so poorly managed and justified? “It is too late to intervene, but we will be interested in pursuing what went wrong and why, in an effort to make sure this does not recur.” Long pipe: Part of the dredging line that is taking spoil from the Stony Point boat ramp and channel to a coffer dam on the foreshore. Pictures: Yanni

Stony Point ramp spoil going on land SPOIL from the dredging of the Stony Point boat ramp currently underway is being pumped onto land. A pipe takes the spoil about 1.5 kilometres up Stony Point Rd to a coffer dam built on the foreshore in 2003 for previous dredging. This was when authorities told the Crib Point Stony Point foreshore

one metre at low tide at the end of the ramp and in the channel out into Western Port. The boat ramp and channel is dredged about every three or four years depending on how weather and tides move the seabed. Some storms can actually clean out the channel. Mike Hast

Breast screens visits JUST over 50 per cent of women in the Hastings electorate are having a mammogram every two years, below the state average of 55 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is critically important that we continue to build on our local level of screening because finding cancer early saves lives,â&#x20AC;? Hastings MP Neale Burgess said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest risk factor for breast cancer is being a woman over 50 years of age.â&#x20AC;? With one in nine women being diagnosed with the disease, the free mammogram screening program is the best way of finding cancer early, before any symptoms are noticed and when treatment is likely to be most successful.â&#x20AC;? More than 225,000 women in Victoria aged 50-69 get a screening each year. Nearest screening centres to the Hastings region are: Screening Service Frankston, 39 Playne St, Frankston; Screening Rosebud, 926 Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud. Bookings essential on 13 20 50 or go to www.breastscreen.org.au

DSE three-year plan for burns THE Department of Sustainability and Environment has released details of planned burns and other fire prevention activities over the next three years on the Mornington Peninsula. Burns planned between now and autumn include Arthurs Seat, Cape Schanck (Greens Bush), Tuerong (Devilbend), Balnarring, French Island, Portsea, Rosebud, Langwarrin, Frankston and Frankston North. The amount of land to be burnt in the Port Phillip region jumps from 6228ha in 2012-13 to 9885ha in 2013-14. DSE fire program manager Bernard Barbetti said the fire operations plans had been finalised after DSE and Parks Victoria reviewed feedback from â&#x20AC;&#x153;communities and stakeholdersâ&#x20AC;? on the draft plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire operations plans outline where planned burns, slashing, track works and construction of fire breaks

are intended to be carried out over the next three years, depending on weather and other conditions,â&#x20AC;? Mr Barbetti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decision to burn is driven by the need to reduce bushfire risk to human life, communities, essential and community infrastructure, industry, the economy and the environment.â&#x20AC;? Mr Barbetti said the plans were designed to be flexible so burns could be moved forward or back over the threeyear period to respond to conditions. Port Phillipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire operations plans can be seen online at www.dse.vic. gov.au/burns or at DSE and Parks Victoria offices. To find out where and when burns are likely to happen, visit www.dse. vic.gov.au/burns, call Victorian Bushfires Information Line on 1800 240 667 or download the FireReady smart phone app to see burns on a map.

Bag buy reveals ring mystery THERE is a possibility a peninsula man is missing his wedding ring. A Hastings woman bought a distinctive-looking bag from Vinnies in Hastings in June. After looking inside, she noticed what appeared to be a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding band. The woman handed it to Hastings

police in the hope the person who had misplaced the ring would report it to police, but so far nobody has enquired. If you donated a green bag in a peninsula donation bin or to Vinnies in Hastings and you are missing your wedding ring, email agnikf@yahoo.com

Dolphins call Port Phillip home A COMMUNITY of common dolphins has left the open ocean to live in the shallows of eastern Port Phillip, something unique to the bay. Compared to the bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time resident bottlenose dolphins, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;commonsâ&#x20AC;? are much smaller and their backs are darker. They also have a pattern on their sides and many have a prominent flash of yellow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing our best to understand why they are here and what we need to do to protect them. We need help,â&#x20AC;? the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research director Sue Mason said.

The study is part of her PhD. The population of nearly 20 seems to live between Frankston and Dromana and includes at least two new calves born in recent months. Institute director Jeff Weir said the community can help the dolphins by obeying the dolphin watching regulations when out on the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliberately approach them closer than 100 metres in a boat or 300 metres on a power ski,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine if they come to you, but slow down or stop if it is safe, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow when they swim away.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Weir said reports of sightings helped researchers build up a picture of dolphin movements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those lucky enough to see the dolphins from their balconies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially from Mornington to Safety Beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the institute is looking for land-based vantage points to track the dolphins,â&#x20AC;? he said.

THE state’s health system is buckling under the pressure of savage funding cuts made by the Baillieu government as 46,131 Victorian wait for vital treatment, says Eastern Victoria MP Johan Scheffer. “Locally, Rosebud hospital has done a great job with 45 fewer people on the elective surgery waiting list this quarter, but the hospital has spent longer on bypass and fewer patients are being transferred to a hospital bed in less than eight hours when compared to last quarter,” Mr Scheffer said. “The $4.32 million deficit that Peninsula Health ran last financial year is affecting Rosebud Hospital and Mr Baillieu’s $616 million worth of health cuts is only making the situation worse.”

Haymaking danger THE hay season is one of the most hazardous times for farmers. WorkSafe is calling on all farmers to ensure the safety of themselves and their employees during the hay harvest. “With the hay season upon us, the dangers often involved in farming will be magnified, particularly if the weather turns and people rush to get silage cut and stored,” said WorkSafe’s general manager of health and safety operations Lisa Sturzenegger. “Taking the time to think through how the job can be done as safely as possible, understanding the hazards at every stage of the harvesting operation and following it with action could make a huge difference.” Safety issues identified on farms include dangers of machine blockages, fire, overhead power lines, working alone, machine guards and equip-

ment being used for other than its intended purpose. Ms Sturzenegger said getting on top of farm safety was often challenging because it might not be something farmers thought about every day. “Farms need to be treated like any other workplace, even if it’s a small, family-operated business,” she said. “Farmers, workers and contractors have shared obligations when working on farms – they don’t have to be dangerous. Farms can be made safer, but it needs a team effort. “It’s about knowing what can go wrong and how to safely fix or assess the issue, even if you’ve done it a thousand times before.” Guidance farmers can use to help make workplaces safer is at: worksafe.vic.gov.au

OPINION

It’s Lynn Bowden by length of the straight “IT has to be a woman,” hisses a voice in Emu’s ear. “We’ve had too many years of testosterone. We need a calming woman for a change.” Mrs Emu is right, her patient spouse has to agree, as he runs his eye over the field of contenders for next shire mayor. The most recent mayoral trifecta (counting backwards) has been Frank Martin, Graham Pittock and David Gibb before we get to Ann Shaw in 2009 and Bev Colomb in 2008. Emu explains to his beloved that two new elements must be considered when considering who should get the golden chain and the $78,000 mayoral allowance this year. The shire’s top citizen for 2013 – leaving aside, of course, CEO Michael Kennedy, who assumes the title is his for as long as councillors keep reappointing him unopposed – is an easy tip, many believe. The first new element stemming from the recently decided election is the three new runners in the field – all maidens, who must be instantly dismissed from the mayoral stakes since they have no form but their election promises, which are as inadmissable as the form of a colt capering in a paddock. This leaves a field of eight. The second element, in case you hadn’t noticed, is that the shire had its first election under the new split multiand single-ward structure. This might not have come to your attention since the shire did its best to keep it secret, apparently still sulking after having its single-member ward preference chucked out by the VEC. Council bureaucrats generally find the “one dog, one dung heap” single-

Mayoral form guide 2012 member ward system easier to control. Passing on from the trio of tyros (Crs David Garnock, Hugh Fraser and Andrew Dixon), we can dismiss mayors of the past four or five years as real contenders, since traditionally (and correctly, in the Emu’s opinion) the position is largely ceremonial, exceedingly well remunerated and should be passed on in an orderly fashion. Otherwise the vastly wise, incredibly experienced and mercifully taciturn Bill Goodrem – alas, gone by popular vote from the new two-member Nepean Ward – would have worn the golden necklace permanently. So the Emus have ruled out past mayors Pittock, Gibb, Shaw, Colomb and Shaw. Cr Shaw was also mayor in 2004, which makes her doubly ineligible. David Gibb also served as mayor 1999-2000, when he was even more clean-shaven than he is now. The other aspect of mayoralty is, as Mrs Emu has pointed out pointedly, is the pay packet. Frank Martin is finishing his mayoral year some $78,000 the richer for his effort. And while the stable hands are whispering he’d like another term, possibly to polish his skills as meeting chair (who can forget the points of order he repeatedly put to himself at tense and rowdy moments?), he must pass on the baton, the golden chain and the golden

Cr Lynn Bowden emolument to the next in line. Who should that be? The Emus are strong supporters of Cr Lynn Bowden, for several reasons. First, she is an impressive, accomplished performer both in the chamber and in her electorate. Second, it is time

for the Western Port/northern side of the shire to get the golden guernsey. It is 10 years since a mayor came from that area. Third, Cr Bowden is one of the Class of 2008, the last of those in the chamber who has not served a mayoral term.

Cr Bowden – low-key, affable, competent, smart and impartial – will be an excellent chairwoman – important attributes in a council with three newcomers and a new electoral system. She is not likely to allow any colleague to co-chair meetings from the floor, as occurred all too frequently in 2012. And she will be a fine first citizen. All this means Emu has narrowed the field of mayoral candidates to three: Bowden, newly re-elected Tim Rodgers and Antonella Celi. Of these, bookies would have Lynn Bowden as, theoretically, the unbackable favourite. But this doesn’t take into account the fevered lobbying now going on around the stables, especially the duchessing of the new trio. Cr Rodgers was mayor in 2007 and Cr Celi has been on council a mere two years and has just shifted from L to P plates. Perhaps she could be elected deputy mayor. Mrs Emu has been reading over her spouse’s shoulder, again. “Quite right,” she squawked emphatically. “It’s time for another lady mayor. “Last year was a bit of a shambles from time to time. Too much ageing testosterone!” She fixed her loving but ageing partner with a baleful gaze. He feels the strange, shrivelling sensation often associated with that look.  The mayor and deputy mayor will be elected at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s annual council meeting at 6pm Monday 12 November. This meeting also will see the investiture of all newly elected councillors.

Bringing power to the people By Keith Platt WHILE Australia’s two-speed economy is becoming one of the most overused phrases, brothers Brett and Stuart Davies are running a $250 million turnover company that is staking part of its future profits on the stop-start principle. But rather than lurching from one financial imperative to another, their focus on “stop-start” is all about vehicle engines: ones that turn themselves off at red lights and become active again when the lights go green. The Davies brothers head the Club Assist Corporation, a global company that is 80 per cent owned by Australian motoring clubs, principally the RACV in Victoria and the NRMA in New South Wales. Brett Davies is chairman and group chief executive; Stuart is chief executive officer and executive president. Their rise to prominence in the motoring world comes from what now seems a very simple idea – offering to help members of motoring clubs fix the most common fault that brings cars to a standstill – flat batteries. While car clubs had mobile mechanics (or agents) to send to emergency breakdowns, callouts to merely restart a car or fit and supply a battery were costly and time-consuming. An 18-month study of emergency callouts identified for the Davies brothers a niche where they could step in and help out. Already running a family-owned battery sales company, they were ideally situated to fill the obvious gap in services offered to members by the

RACV. This was in 1992. Club Assist now boasts being “the largest mobile battery service product and service provider in the world today”. In the past year the company sold more than 1.2 million batteries. The advent of all-electric cars holds little fear for Brett Davies, who says Club Assist believes EVs (electric vehicles) and stop-start technology can only increase the company’s customer base. Studies show internal combustion engines powered by petrol, diesel or gas operate up to 12.5 per cent more efficiently if they are not left to idle at traffic lights. However, turning them off and then turning them on, without any loss of momentum, requires a new electrical system with two batteries, not one. So there will be more batteries breaking down and going flat – and Club Assist will be there to help. This is the theory propelling the company’s thrust into the ever-changing world of motorised transport. “We think start-stop technology will slow the transition to EVs,” Brett Davies says, sitting in the boardroom of the company’s headquarters in Dandenong. “Start-stop is here already, but you don’t know when you see them on the road.” Davies says the start-stop technology is “flying under the radar, it’s been here eight years”. BMW, Kia and Mazda are already selling cars equipped with the fuel-saving systems. Club Assist also has provided for broken down electric vehicles with a

lithium-based emergency charging unit that will provide enough power for five or six kilometres. The compnay’s product and technical development vice-president Al Bradshaw believes 60 per cent of new cars will be stop-start by 2015. “The do-it-yourself battery charger will become a thing of the past,” Bradshaw says, while explaining the three different battery technologies needed to power the change. He says lithium batteries, suited to electric vehicles because of their lightness, are 10 times more expensive than heavy lead acid batteries. Davies believes United States authorities will next year recognise the fuel efficiencies of stop-start technology, leading the way for it to be adopted in fleet vehicles that have governmentregulated fuel efficiency targets. With no end in sight for batteries – which have a life of about 42 months – and by gearing up services for electric cars, Club Assist’s future seems assured. The gradual sale of a large chunk of the company to car clubs was always something the Davies family planned “but it has happened probably quicker than we anticipated”, says Brett Davies. One of four brothers who all went to Frankston High School, the Davies family links to car batteries go back to when his late father, Ian, owned Dandenong Batteries. Club Assist was launched by the brothers in 1991 after they spent 18 months assessing breakdowns reported by RACV members. The statistics

showed that 40 per cent of breakdowns were battery-related and 16 per cent of all breakdowns needed a new battery. “We approached the RACV and proposed offering a fully integrated service to its members. We were effectively sub-contracting to them,” Brett Davies says. “They couldn’t offer the solution on the roadside that we could.” A third brother, Scott, became part of the business in 1996, but has since been bought out by Brett and Stuart. The family remains close, with Brett and Stuart living in Mt Eliza, Scott at Red Hill and Russell about to return to Victoria. Control of Club Assist has effectively passed to motoring clubs through the Davies brothers “selling down” in three tranches, although they hold the most senior positions on the board of directors (Brett) and in the senior management team (Stuart). Sixty per cent of Club Assist is owned jointly by the RACV and NRMA, with four other clubs holding 20 per cent and the two Davies brothers 20 per cent. There are 600 employees and 3000 contractors involved in roadside service, which has been extended to include windscreens, alternators and starter motors. Its services are provided to motoring clubs in New Zealand, Europe, the United States and Canada. Brett Davies says no other roadside car repairers can respond as quickly or effectively. “There’s no direct competitor to what we do,” he says.

Batteries are all made overseas, mainly in South Korea, with some coming from China and the US. While running Dandenong Batteries the Davies family also owned the Australian Battery Company with a manufacturing plant in Western Australia, but this was eventually sold to Fiji. A decision to adopt a “cradle to the grave” approach to their products led them to set a target of recycling one battery for every one sold. “Ninety-six per cent of a battery can be recycled,” Brett Davies says, “including the lead, polypropylene casing and, to some extent, the acid. “The world is reliant on this ‘aboveground mining’ and for us it is another income stream. “We made recycling part of our first proposal to the motoring clubs. We saw the environment would be important to them and their members.” Club Assist has this year made big inroads in France, which had no motoring clubs of its own. Motorists from other countries stranded in the Gallic countryside had limited roadside assistance, but 50 per cent of vehicles were unable to be made mobile because they belonged to motoring clubs in other countries. “We went on a rescue mission to get their members moving and we’ve now got 60 vehicles on the road in France and the number of club members being made mobile again in their own vehicles has jumped from 50 to 80 per cent.” Reprinted courtesy BusinessTimes www.businesstimes.net.au

Highly charged: Brothers Stuart, left, and Brett Davies at their Dandenong headquarters.

Ken Lay who said the decision to send PSOs to Frankston was a police operational decision. Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said police should be investigating the alleged misuse of Mr Shaw’s vehicle. A spokeswoman for Victoria Police has confirmed that a letter had been received from the Labor Party about Mr Shaw and an “assessment is being made to see if any criminal offences have occurred”. One of Mr Shaw’s former employees, later sacked for stealing stock, told Mr Brouwer: “Mr Shaw was particularly keen for us to use it [the parliamentary vehicle] for [business] day trips to the country. He said if I was going to do 700km or more in a day, to let him know so he could swap cars with me … he said – if anybody asks, it’s for personal use.” The same employee said Mr Shaw gave him his parliamentary vehicle to visit Southern Cross Hardware customers in Albury, Lakes Entrance, Phillip Island, Traralgon, Wagga Wagga (New South Wales) and Yarrawonga, Mornington, Pakenham and Rosebud. A second employee said Mr Shaw told him “if anyone asked me about it, I was to say I had the car for private use”. Mr Shaw admitted incorrectly writing in the car’s logbook that he was the driver when it travelled to Warrnambool on 21 February 2011. Fuel records from 30 October to 20 December 2011 show Mr Shaw’s parliamentary vehicle travelling more than 6500 kilometres with one of his employees spending $1350 on his parliamentary fuel card.

By Keith Platt FRANKSTON MP Geoff Shaw is likely to keep his seat despite allegations of rorting the use of his parliamentary vehicle. Mr Shaw will be hoping his offer to repay any costs involving the commercial use of the vehicle and the fairly mild results of an Ombudsman’s report will be enough to allow him to keep his job. The loss of Mr Shaw’s seat would force a byelection that could threaten the government, which holds power with a one-seat majority. Liberal Party insiders have told The News that Mr Shaw would have been forced out by his colleagues if they did not have such a narrow hold on power. After a detailed investigation, the Ombudsman, George Brouwer, has recommended the misuse of Mr Shaw’s Ford Territory and fuel card be referred to the Legislative Assembly Privileges Committee, which will consider the case between now and when Parliament breaks for the summer in early December. The nine-member committee includes four Labor MPs and five government MPs, including Mornington MP David Morris. Mr Brouwer said the vehicle had been used for commercial purposes and the fuel card to buy petrol for a private vehicle. Premier Ted Baillieu has refused to comment until after the privileges committee hands down its report. He has consistently backed Mr Shaw, saying the MP had delivered extra police, funds for Frankston Hospital and protective services officers at Frankston, although the latter claim was refuted by Victoria Police Chief Commissioner

Backs to the wall: VicRoads contractors rebuild the retaining wall on the Nepean Highway near Olivers Hill in Frankston, which collapsed earlier this year. Pictures: Yanni

Three months to fix collapsed wall By Mike Hast RECONSTRUCTION of the retaining wall on Nepean Highway near Olivers Hill in Frankston will take three and a half months. Work started on the $1.4 million wall in February, but it collapsed on Thursday 19 April before it could be finished. Dramatic pictures of the wall collapsing were taken by a man walking his dog.

The first wall was built of rocks in steel cages and backfilled with sand. The second attempt is being constructed using steel posts hammered into the ground, horizontal wooden planks and backfilled with lighter material. The lighter material would “reduce the load imposed on it”, said Peter Todd, VicRoads’ regional director of Metro South East. He said VicRoads engaged consultant ARUP Pty Ltd to undertake an in-

dependent investigation into the April incident. “The new retaining wall design has been independently verified to ensure the safety of road users and workers.” Mr Todd said no lanes would be closed to motorists “however VicRoads request all road users observe the 40km/h speed limit and drive with caution”. “The bicycle lane and footpath will continue to be unavailable” during construction.

“Cyclists can use the left traffic lane and pedestrians … the footpath on the foreshore side.” Mr Todd thanked Frankston residents “for their patience while this important reconstruction work is undertaken”. VicRoads decided to build the wall to stem erosion of the cliff face, which had been monitored by a resident whose house was built close to the cliff edge. The erosion has now gone inland beyond the boundary between the VicRo-

ads land and private property. Properties on the cliff have lost up to three metres of land in the past five years. The area near the foot of Olivers Hill was once part of Frankston Brickworks and backfilled before being opened up for residential development. Houses on the steep land have to comply with strict building regulations that include concrete foundations up to 15 metres deep.

Dog laws’ hidden impacts

Losing the right to walk his dog: Prince Leo, with his owner John Morobito of Rye. Picture: Yanni

By Keith Platt FROM a distance, John Morobito is just another person walking his dog along one of the many pristine beaches in Mornington Peninsula National Park. His golden labrador Prince Leo comes and goes at his master’s command. Usually running toward the water after a thrown ball. The pair walk daily, the epitome of an 87-yearold man and his best friend. But Mr Morobito is breaking the law. Prince Leo is restrained by a voice, not a leash. The fact has not been lost on Parks Victoria rangers who have spoken to him several times and fined him at least twice. The beach is open to dog walkers before 9am, but their animals must be restrained by a leash. Parks is also now advocating tougher rules, including banning dogs altogether from beaches within the national park. The beaches provides a home or stopping off point for many seabirds, including the endangered hooded plover, a small bird that lays its camouflaged eggs directly onto the sand. If the eggs are not trampled underfoot by a dog or person, the chicks then run the gauntlet of marauding birds, foxes and, yes, unleashed dogs. The beach ban threatens the pleasure derived by Mr Morobito from his daily walks and the social interaction it provides him and others living in the scrub-covered sand dunes bordering much of the national park. It also highlights the difficulties of reconciling the need to preserve and nurture nature with the demands of a neighbouring residential area. Mr Morobito, who lives within easy walking distance of the beach, Number Sixteen, suffers from the eye condition macular degeneration. He is gradually losing his vision. The walk from his home to the beach is along narrow, unmade roads. If yanked by a dog on a leash he could easily stumble while negotiating the path leading onto the sand. His neighbours, also dog walkers, are appalled at him being fined and also fear the ramifications of a total ban on dogs. “If these new rules come into being, it will completely isolate people like John, and many other caring, kind, animal-loving, responsible

Western Port News 6 November 2012

dog owners who walk daily on our back beaches,” Brenda Harding said. “In some instances this is the only socialisation these people have for the whole day.” Mrs Harding said one day last year they found Mr Morobito at home where he had suffered a fall only after noting his absence from the beach. People chose to live near the back beaches to “enjoy true nature … and in particular the early morning walks with our dogs”. “If Parks takes this privilege away from us, then why are we here?” Mrs Harding said if Number Sixteen was closed to dogs, the nearest leash-free beach would be seven kilometres away. “We chose to live by this beach; we want to walk on this beach.” Mr Morobito said walking along the beach was the “only way I can be active”. Rangers had said they would investigate an exemption because of his failing eyesight, but a fine still arrived in the mail. He had also received a written warning “not to walk my dog at night, which is something I never do”.

Beach plans PARKS Victoria is seeking community feedback by 30 November on a proposal to ban dogs from Mornington Peninsula National Park, which covers the beaches and foreshore from Portsea to Bushrangers Bay. Parks says there are 32 fauna species listed as endangered, vulnerable or near threatened living in the park. Dogs are now permitted on a leash between sunrise and 9am daily in much of the park, except Greens Bush and the coastal area around Cape Schanck and Bushrangers Bay. Options put forward by Park include a seasonal ban for the whole park; restricting dogs to certain sites and adjacent beach areas; a seasonal ban in selected areas; or a total ban for the whole park. For more information go to www.parks.vic. gov.au or phone 131 963.

Esplanade works starting

Work site: The landslide that has stopped traffic on the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach since June.

THE Esplanade between Hearne and Bradford roads in Mt Martha is likely to remain closed until Christmas. VicRoads says work to repair the landslide-affected road will start mid-November and be completed by Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x153;weather permittingâ&#x20AC;?. VicRoads had initially estimated the road would be closed until the end of September. The road collapsed on 4 June, but repairs were unable to start until the completion of a Cultural Heritage Management Plan as the land is registered as a cultural heritage site. VicRoads held discussions with

Aboriginal Affairs Victoria (AAV) and hired consultants to draw up the CHMP required under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006. The plan was subsequently approved by AAV, although The News believes reconstruction of the road will be no different to that used to fix a previous landslip along the same stretch of the Esplanade closer to Safety Beach. In August 2010 VicRoads trucked in tonnes of heavy boulders to fill a gully on the seaward side of the road, which a nearby resident said had deepened to about nine metres. The same method of using rock

batters is expected to be used to repair the latest landslide, where Sheoak Creek goes under the Esplanade. In 2010 VicRoads also wrongly estimated the time taken to repair the road, but the delays were caused by the difficulty of the job rather than due process. A map showing cultural heritage sites indicates the entire Esplanade has significance, but VicRoads has not stated why is has undertaken the CHMP in just one out of three road collapses. Keith Platt

Rye’s ‘pirates’ out to play By Mike Hast DOZENS of small pirates will “invade” Rye foreshore on Friday, but don’t be alarmed – our goods, chattels and caged birds are not at risk. The invasion is the culmination of more than two years of planning and five days of building – the opening at 4pm of the Rye’s Up! Community Playground. Organisers were blown away by the construction of the adventure playground, which took five days. More than 700 people took part – from little old ladies to big, burly builders. One of three general coordinators, Miranda Gillespie, said the event was astonishing. “What happened was beyond our wildest dreams and the two Americans from playground designers Leathers and Associates, Larry Mattingly and Justin Fowler, said it was one of the best of many projects they’d been involved with,” she said. Leathers has helped 2000 communities around the world build playgrounds over more than 30 years. Ms Gillespie said many stories had come out of the project. Two older women had volunteered to help in the administration area and Ms Gillespie suggested this was under control and they might like to see if they could help down at the worksite. “Next thing I see the women carting planks of timber,” she said. “They didn’t want to come back to admin. “There were professional builders who came for one shift and ended up staying for days. One builder returned home for dinner with his family. After eating, he jumped up and said to his surprised wife ‘I’ve got to go back to the playground’. “Other builders said they should be working on a job, but would do just one more hour at the playground, then another hour. It was addictive. “The playground was made possible by the

tireless work of volunteers and the generosity of corporate sponsors and community donations.” Michael Wittingslow of carnival fame, one of three general coordinators with Ms Gillespie and Amanda Crestani, said it was “the best community project I’ve ever done in my life”. “The committee was dedicated, the construction captains were fantastic; people worked from 7am to 9pm.” He acknowledged the role of Katrina Humphrey, one of the founders of Rye’s Up, which was formed several years ago to oppose plans by fast food outlets to open in Rye. When this issue was resolved, the group turned its considerable organisational power to doing other things for the town including revegetation

and dreaming up the playground. Materials, plans and management fees for the playground, which was inspired by a pirate ship and other ideas from Rye children, cost more than $350,000, but it is worth $600,000, Mr Wittingslow said. Mornington Peninsula Shire, which owns the playground, contributed $80,000 and gained permission from land manager the Department and Sustainability and Environment to replace the old playground. Volunteers were putting the finishing touches last week, spreading mulch and laying some concrete. It was expected to pass inspection by an independent playground auditor and final approval from lead builder Ralph Mansfield.

AROUND THE REGION

Rosebud 2100 flood risk By Mike Hast TOWNS and suburbs on Port Phillip including Rosebud and McCrae could be submerged by coastal flooding combined with heavy rain events by the end of the century, says an unpublished confidential report. Port Phillip Coastal Adaption Pathways Program studied four bayside areas – Rosebud-McCrae, Mordialloc, Elwood and Southbank as well as a low-lying area in North Melbourne. The existence of the report was revealed after Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors held a private meeting on 24 September.

This was after the public gallery was cleared at the end of the final public meeting before the council went into caretaker mode in the run-up to last Saturday’s election. The equipment used to tape open meetings was accidentally left running and captured the private meeting. Four sound files of the meeting were then posted on the shire’s website without being checked. The fourth file contained the private meeting at which councillors and senior shire officers, including CEO Michael Kennedy, discussed what the council would say if the report was leaked or made public by the federal

government or the Municipal Association of Victoria. The government and MAV are joint sponsors of the report, which warns bayside areas face huge damage bills after big storms and rising sea levels. A map in the report, due to be released in February, shows flooding in large areas of Rosebud between Jetty Rd and Lonsdale St, and parts of McCrae east of Lonsdale St. This would occur during a “perfect storm” of coastal flooding combined with heavy rains when stormwater would not run into Port Phillip. The damage bill could be many millions of dollars a year by 2100 from

these extreme conditions – $20 million at Southbank, $15 million at Elwood, unknown millions at Mordialloc and $100 million at Rosebud-McCrae. The report has a cost-benefit analysis of whether to “retreat” or “adapt” as sea levels rise and storms increase. Landowners in NSW and Queensland are being told by climate experts they should consider retreating from the coast as storm surges from the Pacific combined with high sea levels threaten coastal communities. NSW has 15 “hot spots” including Batemans Bay, Collaroy and Byron Bay while Queensland has more, including the Gold Coast, Caloundra

and Noosa Heads. Places like the Gold Coast and Noosa have battled erosion for many years, but the rate has increased in modern times. The report urges Port Phillip’s floodprone communities to “adapt” as the cost of “retreat” would be far greater. Last year the federal government’s climate change unit said 250,000 coastal homes worth more than $60 billion were at risk of flooding from sea rises over the next 90 years. Although the study covered Rosebud and McCrae, many other parts of the peninsula on both Port Phillip and Western Port would be at risk.

Wet warning aired behind closed doors By Mike Hast AT the private council meeting on 24 September, councillors and senior shire officers wrestled with the threat of the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption Pathways Program report being leaked to the media or released by the federal government or Municipal Association of Victoria during the council caretaker period. The meeting – accidentally recorded and posted on the shire’s website – revealed shire CEO Michael Kennedy telling councillors they needed to prepare a response before going into caretaker mode as they would not be able to comment during the 32-day “blackout” period. Senior planner Allan Cowley told councillors the report did not recommend retreat from Port Phillip, unlike in NSW and Queensland where it was being suggested, which had triggered strong reactions in communities. Director of Sustainable Infrastructure Alex Atkins, who had just returned from a week interstate with coastal planners and climate change researchers, said it was “comforting to hear a lot of councils around Australia are dealing with these issues”. He said councils were learning from early engagement with communities, and cited the shire’s 2009 Climate Change Conversations – when 3000 residents attended 11 meetings across the shire – as a model of dealing with community expectations. Mr Atkins said it was important to get climate change information as early as possible and make it available to the community. The council needed to explain to people what the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption report was saying, what the council understood it to mean and “bring the community along in terms of your decision-making”. But then he criticised the media over climate change reports. There was “clearly a lot of concern among people engaged in coastal management issues that the media don’t treat this issue well” and that “they tend to jump to extreme positions and seek to divide the community in terms of the way they report these matters and that’s leading to a lot of discontent among professional researchers and

professional land managers”. Cr Leigh Eustace said shire officers had read the report “but we [councillors] haven’t. We know nothing about adaptation plans” and he would not vote on the report before getting further information. Cr Anne Shaw, the shire’s representative for several years on the Association of Bayside Municipalities, said the council had previously supported the “whole of bay approach” that was being promoted in the new report. Cr David Gibb said the council supported “the whole of bay approach, adaptation, etc” and could give this to the media if the report came out during caretaker period. CEO Michael Kennedy said it was a federal government report “that we don’t have the right to give to councillors”. Cr Eustace said there would be significant costs due to damage. Dr Kennedy: “We’ve shown the cost and benefit of retreat or adaptation.” Cr Eustace said the AECOM report into the proposed Rosebud pool site that was due to be posted on the shire’s website had the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption report removed. Dr Kennedy said the gap between the cost of retreat and adaptation was so great “it’s not a tough call”. Adaptation was the cheaper option. The Port Phillip Coastal Adaption report said it would cost $100 million to adapt “but we say it is less”. Cr Shaw said if people don’t have the right information, they’ll be upset”. Councillors then voted to accept a report that they had not read and to keep it confidential.

Sea rise could be 1.6 metres PROJECTIONS of global sea level rise have become more pessimistic over the past five years. In 2007, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted a rise of more than one metre by 2100. In 2009, the Delta Commission of the Dutch government projected up to 1.10 metres as a “high-end” scenario. In the same year, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) projected up to 1.40 metres. In 2011, the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme gave a range of 0.90-1.60 metres. Also last year, the US Army Corps of Engineers recommended using low, intermediate and high scenarios for global sea level rise when planning civil works programs, with high being 1.50 metres. The more pessimistic views are based on a number of observations, most importantly that sea level has been rising at least 50 per cent faster in the past decades than projected by the IPCC in 2007. Also, the rate of rise averaged over two decades has accelerated threefold, from about one millimetre a year at the start of the 20th century to about three millimetres a year over the past 20 years. The observed net mass loss of the two big continental ice sheets calls into question the assumption that ice accumulation in Antarctica would largely balance ice loss from Greenland during further global warming With serious sea level rise coming, experts are increasingly looking at potential impacts on coasts to plan local adaptation. Melbourne climate scientist Dr Roger Jones, a An early December storm at McCrae in 2010. regular guest on the peninsula’s community radio station RPP-FM, says a rise of 1.5 metres “is virtually unavoidable”. “Right right now $3 trillion worth of property and 40 million people are exposed to expected sea level rise. By 2070 those numbers become $35 trillion (roughly 9 per cent of forecast world GDP) and 147 million people,” he said “There is a 74 per cent chance of one or more of the world’s low-lying cities being impacted by a once-ina-century event every year.” Americans on the east coast have just experienced that 100-year storm.

Report raises questions over pool plans COMMENT QUESTIONS about the viability of building the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) on the Rosebud foreshore must be asked in light of the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption Pathways Program. Why would the shire council even consider building SPA on the foreshore if it would be regularly flooded as we move into the later years of this century?

Did the shire know about the predictions of sea level rise combined with flooding from heavy rain events when it approved the SPA site late last year? Is spending $38 million plus on SPA good use of ratepayer funds when the centre might be inaccessible in coming decades? Does the design of a foreshore SPA need to include a gigantic seawall to keep it “dry” as sea levels rise and storm surges threaten Port Phillip coastal areas?

Was the purchase of Rosebud Central Shopping Centre, announced at the end of September and being considered as an alternative place for SPA, motivated by the Port Phillip Coastal Adaption report? The council owes its community clear answers to these and other questions relating to predicted massive changes to the Mornington Peninsula coastline. Mike Hast Western Port News 6 November 2012

Cottage character

CONQUER the final frontier and live large on this enormous 3045â&#x20AC;&#x201C;square metre block and in the solid and sturdy four-bedroom home. The convenient location is close to Bittern train station and shopping centre and the block size offers plenty of room for storage needs of all descriptions. Timber and slate floors feature throughout the living areas. A large lounge room has a built-in bar and there is a separate dining area adjoining the timber kitchen. The main bedroom has a rare feature with a C-Bus system that controls the lighting. There is also an ensuite and walk-in robe. Two more bedrooms have builtin robes. A 15,000â&#x20AC;&#x201C;litre water tank services the gardens and outbuildings on the block include a double carport at the front and a large shed at the rear.

SET on a quiet no-through road, this relocated cottage has the country look and has been positioned amid well-established gardens. All rooms have distinct high ceilings, so popular with homes of this age, and ceiling fans. The lounge room has a gas log fire and airconditioning and has a relaxing outlook to the rear garden. There are two bedrooms, one has built-in robes and both share the central bathroom. The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style kitchen has a good amount of cupboards and drawers and receives some shelter from the sun and other elements from the wide front verandah. Outside is a garden shed, workshop and long carport. Pretty as a picture and priced under $300,000, this home is well-suited to a first home buyer or perhaps a retired couple looking for a quaint home rather than a unit.

Remembrance Day 2012

Commemorating the armistice REMEMBRANCE Day, also known as Armistice Day, is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of the First World War to honour the members of armed forces who died in the line of duty. It is observed on 11 November to mark the end of hostilities in the First World War in 1918. The armistice was agreed at 5am on 11 November, to come into effect at 11am Paris time; the reason the occasion is sometimes referred to as “the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”. It was the result of a hurried and desperate process. German chief of staff Paul von Hindenburg had sent a telegram on 7 November requesting a meeting with French Marshal Ferdinand Foch. He was under pressure of imminent revolution in Berlin, Munich and elsewhere in Germany. The German delegation headed by Matthias Erzberger crossed the front line in five cars and was escorted for 10 hours across the devastated war zone of northern France. They were then taken by train to a secret destination, Foch’s private train parked in a railway siding in the forest of Compiègne. Foch appeared only twice in the three days of negotiations: on the first day to ask the German delegation what they wanted and on the last day to see the signing of documents. In between, the German delegation discussed the details of the Allied terms with French and Allied officers. The armistice amounted to complete German demilitarisation, with few promises made by the

Allies in return. The naval blockade of Germany would continue until complete peace terms could be agreed. There was no question of negotiation. The Germans were able to correct a few impossible demands (for example, the decommissioning of more submarines than the fleet possessed) and registered their formal protest at the harshness of Allied terms. But they were in no position to refuse to sign. On Sunday 10 November, they were shown newspapers from Paris informing them that the Kaiser had abdicated. Erzberger was not able to get instructions from Berlin because of the fall of the government. The instructions to sign came from Hindenburg, who felt that an armistice was absolutely necessary. Signatures were made between 5.12am and 5.20am, Paris time. While hostilities formally ended at this time, the First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919. The day was specifically dedicated by King George V on 7 November 1919 as a day of remembrance for members of the armed forces killed during the “war to end all wars”. The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem In Flanders Fields. Poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders during the war, their brilliant red colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled.

Peace at last: This photograph was taken in the forest of Compiègne after reaching an agreement for the armistice that ended the First World War. The train carriage was given to Ferdinand Foch for military use by the manufacturer, Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. Foch is second from the right.

Hitler railroaded French WHEN Adolf Hitler received word from the French government that it wished to negotiate an armistice in June 1940, Hitler selected Compiègne Forest as the site for the negotiations. As Compiègne was the site of the 1918 armistice ending the Great War with a humiliating defeat for Germany, Hitler saw the location as a supreme moment of revenge for Germany over France. Hitler decided to sign the armistice in the same rail carriage where the Germans had signed the 1918 armistice. However, in the last sentence of the preamble, the drafters inserted “However, Germany does not have the intention to use the armistice conditions and armistice negotiations as a form of humiliation against such a valiant opponent” referring to the French forces. Furthermore, in Article 3, Clause 2, the drafters stated that their intention was not to heavily occupy northwest France after cessation of hostilities with Britain. In the same railway carriage in which the 1918 armistice was signed, removed from a museum building and placed on the precise spot where it was located in 1918, Hitler sat in the same chair in which Marshal Ferdinand Foch had sat when he faced the representatives of the defeated German empire. After listening to the reading of the preamble, Hitler – in a calculated gesture of disdain toward the French delegates – left the carriage, as Foch had done in 1918, leaving the negotiations to his Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (High Command of the Armed Forces) Chief, General Wilhelm Keitel. The armistice site was demolished by the Germans on Hitler’s orders three days later. The carriage was taken to Berlin as a trophy

of war, along with pieces of a large stone tablet that bore the inscription (in French): Here on the eleventh of November 1918 succumbed the criminal pride of the German Reich. Vanquished by the free peoples which it tried to enslave. The Alsace-Lorraine Monument, depicting a German eagle impaled by a sword, was destroyed and all evidence of the site obliterated, with the notable exception of the statue of Marshal Foch: Hitler ordered it to be left intact so that it would be honouring only a wasteland. The railway carriage was taken to Crawinkel in Thuringia in 1945, where it was destroyed by SS troops and the remains buried. After the war, German POW labour was used to restore the armistice site. The stone tablet’s pieces were recovered and reassembled, and a replica of the railway carriage placed at the site. The Alsace-Lorraine monument was rebuilt from scratch.

Western Port before the birth of Anzac THE “Ham and Beef” Battery presented quite an impressive sight with its band, bullocks pulling the 40-pounder Armstrong gun and the soldiers marching. When Captain Ham and Corporals Young and Neaves returned from the Boer War in June 1901, they received an enthusiastic welcome at Hastings, which was reported in The Mornington Standard (20 June 1901) as “one of the biggest days in the history of Hastings”. The report revealed that a dozen bullocks were yoked to the 40-pounder gun at the gun shed and the battery, and with the band taking the lead, marched around to the school and the line of procession formed.  Taken from Hastings – People and Places Vol II.

Stay younger for longer By Lauren Ostrowski Fenton AS we grow older, we literally wear the journey of our life on our faces. The lines of grief, the valleys of laughter and the crevices of our wellbeing become permanently etched on our features. Our appearance and our level of happiness is a direct reflection of the choices we have made physically, emotionally, and spiritually in our life. So why not choose to stay younger? Choose to commit to behaviours that are proven to reduce the ageing process. I look at video footage of me years ago and at video footage now and I can definitely see the effect of decisions I have made reflected in my face. I know now that the main key to my present health is the choices I have made about how to be comfortable within my own skin. Research shows it is possible to take steps to reduce the ageing process.

home & garden

Charity begins in the garden CLIVE and Penny Blazey, founders and owners of The Diggers Club, have gifted ownership of their highly successful garden company along with family-owned properties Heronswood and St Erth to the garden and environment trust they established late in 2011. “We established the Diggers Garden and Environment Trust to ensure that the work we’ve done over the past 34 years in preserving historic gardens and houses as well as the best garden traditions through education will continue forever,” Mr Blazey said. “The public’s support has ensured that Diggers has succeeded and grown into Australia’s largest gardening club. It’s now time to make the transformation from a private, family-owned business into a not-for-profit garden charity, somewhat like the National Trust, but firmly anchored in gardening, education and heritage buildings.” The Blazeys have long admired the work of the Royal Horticultural Society in the UK and hope that over time the trust will grow to be a Down Under version of the RHS. The Royal Horticultural Society is more than 200 years old and manages the world’s largest horticultural library and iconic garden events, the Chelsea and Hampton Court flower shows. Giving away ownership of the mag-

nificent heritage properties including what was the family home, Heronswood, and a thriving business to fund the trust is an idea that the Blazeys have been considering for some time. “We wanted to ensure that the things that we’ve championed such as supporting the use of heirloom seeds and sustainable gardening methods and a strong voice against genetically modified and hybridised plants and seeds would continue,” Mr Blazey said. “We also wanted to make certain that our two organically certified gardens of about two hectares each would remain intact and always be open to the public. The only way to achieve this was to bequeath the properties and garden business to the trust to be owned by a not-for-profit garden charity.” The Diggers Club was established by Mr Blazey in 1978 with the aim of supplying unusual plants and heirloom seeds by mail order to passionate gardeners around Australia. In 1983 Blazey with his young family moved to the beautiful historic property Heronswood to create gardens as living catalogues of Diggers plants and ideas. The Diggers Club has grown with membership Australia-wide and offers gardening masterclasses and workshops. Gardening books are also published. Plants, seeds and bulbs from

their three garden shops are available via mail order. The gardens supply organic produce to onsite restaurants and have hosted Melbourne Food and Wine Festival events, visiting international guest speakers and food industry luminaries such as Stephanie Alexander, Maggie Beer and Rita Erlich. Mr Blazey has received numerous awards and commendations starting from his early involvement with the Australian Open Garden Scheme and Harvest Picnic Foundation and has been inducted as a Legend of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival and proclaimed Producer of the Year by Gourmet Traveller magazine.

home& garden Family welcome The Edney family’s garden at 1368 Stumpy Gully Rd at Moorooduc will be open to visitors as a part of the Open Gardens Australia scheme on 17 and 18 November. The garden was originally designed to cater for the family’s four young sons. As they grew older, it matured to become a place of creativity and relaxation. The garden has been designed to blend in with the surrounding environment and is child-friendly. The front of the garden is expansive with a large lawn and beds of both sculptured and natural plants designed to enclose and protect the house while offering views to beautiful wetland and over the Moorooduc plains. As visitors walk around the side of the house, the garden’s character changes to feature a gravel area with lots of strappy and drought-tolerant plants. Following the path, the next area is more formal with roses and sedum, followed by a formal entertaining area with an open-air chess board and water feature. An orchard and extensive vegetable gardens is a primary passion of the Edneys. The wetland is also open to visitors but children must be supervised at all times as there is deep water. A $7 charge to enter the garden will be donated to charities and Open Gardens Australia for running costs and community garden project grants. Visit www.opengarden.org.au for further information. The garden is also accessible for people in wheelchairs.

Hard of earring – my early days as a pirate By Stuart McCullough IT’S Bono’s fault. In 1987, the lead singer of U2 unwittingly created the template for young men who saw themselves as inwardly sensitive and poetic. In the music video for their song With or Without You, Bono wore a leather vest without a shirt and had a ponytail. He also had pierced ears. Suddenly, wearing a ponytail and getting your ears pierced was a way to tell the world that, just like Bono, beneath your adolescent exterior lurked deep pools of untapped emotion. And while such young men may, indeed, have seen themselves as inwardly sensitive and poetic, the world at large simply viewed them as idiots. I should know – I was one of those idiots. Back then, getting to ponytail stage was something of a challenge as the school I attended had a strict policy prohibiting boys from having hair on their shirt collar. It was incredibly unjust. The unfairness of the rule was magnified by the fact that our school principal at the time wore a spectacular toupee and was largely believed to be motivated by jealousy. Many of us pushed the boundaries as we cultivated nascent mullets with all the care of a prizewinning rose hedge. But such attempts were forever in peril as, at any moment, you were at risk of a teacher spotting your developing locks and demanding you get a haircut. In retrospect, I should have taken the principal on as a matter of princi-

ple. I ought to have bought myself a toupee with an inbuilt mullet. Luxurious locks would have spilled over my collar like a hairy waterfall. Demands that I rectify the flagrant breach of the “no hair on your collar” rule could be met by the simple removal of the wig. Problem solved. Sadly, I was not so clever then. If hair over your collar was frowned on, having your ear pierced was greeted with slack-jawed disbelief more befitting David Copperfield magic spectacular than a piece of jewellery. I couldn’t wait to get one. But with the weight of the entire educational establishment against us, we were forced to improvise. For a time, we would take

the small metal loops that hold groups of keys together and prise them far enough apart to slip them over our pristine lobes as “faux” earrings. This was remarkably effective for short periods of time. But because there had to be a reasonable degree of pressure to keep the ring clamped onto your ear, after 10 or so minutes your lobe would turn crimson before becoming puce. By then, people would look right past the earring to the miniature eggplant lobe to which it was clinging. It wasn’t until I reached the end of year 12 that I could finally get a piercing. Some of my friends, who were older and had left high school, had already done so and they would tell

stories as to how they had used little more than a rusty nail and a glass of whisky to do the job. Such stories, and the flaming red earlobes that were inevitably ripe with infection that went with them, stood as testament to their bravery. But I didn’t have any whisky nor did I own nail – rusty or otherwise. The local chemist sold ear-piercing kits. They came with a generous quantity of disinfectant and a length of clamping leather to stick between your teeth as you braced for the inevitable, awesome pain that comes with having a stud injected into your flesh. It was the sensible way to go about things. I’d like to think that Bono, too, had dropped by his chemist when making the leap to pierced ears. In the weeks leading up to exams and after classes were finished, I got my ears pierced. Or, to be precise, I had one ear pierced. It was the fashion at the time. For the first few weeks, you had to make do with a stud and apply large amounts of cream to ward off infection. No doubt my ear lobe wondered what it had done to deserve being harpooned in such a cavalier manner. Throughout this entire period, I was counting down the days. Finally, the day came and I would wear a proper earring. At the time, the only place that sold earrings was the chemist and they were designed only for women. I was not to be deterred and selected some large gold hoops. By that time, I

had grown out my hair and nearly had enough for a ponytail. Together with a single earring in my left ear, I thought I looked amazing if not a little like Bono himself. Photos from the era strongly suggest that this impression was largely misconceived. I did not look like Bono, nor did I look amazing. I looked exactly like the idiot I undoubtedly was. Or maybe a pirate. Things got worse from there. I got two more piercings the following year at university. But as 1990s progressed, it wasn’t enough to have your ears pierced – people were sticking metal in belly buttons, noses and eyebrows. For a time, young people had so much metal in their faces that many looked as though they’d been victims of an industrial accident. I couldn’t keep up. People often refer to the folly of youth but I don’t see it that way. It’s a good thing to be that enthusiastic and open to new ideas. To this day, there are pock holes in my ear lobes where three quite lady-like earrings once hung. I’m glad the earrings are gone, but I don’t regret for a moment getting them pierced. Besides, it could have been worse. I may have gotten my ears pierced, but at least I never wore a leather vest without a shirt. Unlike Bono. www.stuartmccullough.com

HISTORY

Discovery tour takes in sights of Western Port FORTY-five people attended the recent Discovery School seminar at Hastings Hub. Valda Cole, Keith Holmes, Libby Skidmore, Jeff Weir, Joy Coleman and John Woolley spoke on various topics about the heritage of the region. The Saturday evening dinner was at the Hastings Club with a highlight being short talks about HastingsWestern Port Historical Society (by Shirley Davies), Somerville Tyabb & District Heritage Society (Brenda Thornell) and the South Eastern Historical Association (Libby Skidmore). The next day a coach toured Bittern and Crib Point including a drive around HMAS Cerberus and a stop for morning tea during which Toni Munday gave an interesting talk and tour of Cerbeus Museum, which has had several recent additions. Then it was off to Coolart at Somers for a welcome from Jenny Thomas as well as lunch and tour. The tour also visited the rooms of Somerville Tyabb & District Heritage Society and Hastings Museum where Harry Cole explained the history

and workings of the 40-pounder Armstrong gun.

School visits HASTINGS Museum has much to offer children and recently there have been visits by preschoolers of Hastings and Grade 3 students of Tyabb. Tours can be adapted to the ages of pupils and students attending. For example, teddy bears were brought in for preschoolers to hug. For details, call secretary Ann Sullivan on 0448 023 287.

Final coffee HASTINGS-Western Port Historical Society’s next morning coffee, the last for 2012, is at 10.15am on Thursday 8 November at Hastings Museum, corner Marine Pde and Skinner St. The guest speaker will be Helen Begg on “Outback school capers”, her experiences with children in the outback. Entrance fee is $5 a person with proceeds going to society projects. There will be a small selection of cottage garden plants for sale.

Summer fun: The Cheese Chasers of Balnarring Beach in about 1920. A man with a tomahawk chasing a paper cheese can be seen at the bottom of the banner

Sixcees made own cheesy fun the ritual of “cheese chasing”. Each year a round cheese was made out of paper and was chased around the camp with tomahawks. Other campers joined in the fun. The name adopted by the group was Cheese Chasers CeCessionists Camping Club or the Sixcees. The Sixcees later bought land at Balnarring East (now called Somers).

The Cheese Chasers were a group of friends who, in the early 1900s, camped each year at Frankston. After one of the group drowned, they abandoned Frankston as their annual holiday spot and cycled to Balnarring instead where they would set up camp. One year they buried a cheese that had become over-ripe and this lead to

Sharks bite back as Baxter roll Cribby PROVINCIAL By IT Gully AT the end of day one in the MPCA Provincial match between Sorrento and Moorooduc, it looked like the visitors were in with a chance. The dominant player of the competition, Nick Jewell, was back in the sheds, as was his batting partner of the first two matches, Jedd Falck. However, many had forgotten the Sharks still had plenty of firepower on the list. Nick Davern, skipper Anthony Blackwell and the talented Leigh Poholke were all players who had dominated in the past. With the openers out, it was up to these three to get the job done. Not surprisingly, they didn’t disappoint. Davern hit 51, Blackwell 87 and Poholke 64 as the Sharks recorded a

comfortable 59-run victory. Chasing 236 for victory, last year’s grand finalists finished the day on 294. Moorooduc used seven bowlers in a bid to get back in the match. Bobby Wilson was the best of them with 3/53 from nine overs, while Michael Whincup and Stuart Plunkett each claimed two wickets. Mt Martha achieved the desired result and defeated Ballam Park outright. The Reds bowled the Knights for 102 on day one before scoring 5/106 on the same afternoon, giving them a full 75 overs to go for outright victory. Day two was a carbon copy of day one. Ballam Park was rolled for 111 in 55.2 overs, giving Mt Martha 24 overs to make 108 required for victory. The Reds reached the target in just 15 overs, losing four wickets along the way.

Mt Eliza was able to pull off the win of the round against arch-rival and neighbour, Peninsula Old Boys. The Mounties scored 9/166 in their innings, which didn’t appear to be enough despite the slow surface at Emil Madsen Reserve. But the home side’s bowlers, led by Justin Grant and Lyle House, did the job and rolled the opposition for just 148 in 71 overs. The home side needed just four bowlers for the afternoon, Grant picking up 5/40 from 24 overs and House claiming 3/65 from 29 overs. Sam Creffield was the only other wicket-taker. Brandon Lawler was the best of the Old Boys’ batsmen with 55, and Glenn Prendergast scored 29. Mornington pulled off a sensational victory, knocking over Rye by less than 20 runs. After scoring just 142 runs last week-

end, it looked as though the Doggies were at least 60 runs short of the mark. But some sensational bowling from Glenn Wood with 4/42 and Luke Harper with two wickets, helped to bowl Rye out for just 129 in the 60th over. The real match-winner for the Doggies, however, was skipper Luke Popov, who led from the front. “Pop” bowled 29 overs, nine maidens and finished with 4/43. The best of the Rye bats was Stuart Boraston with 27. It was always going to be very tough going for Crib Point to get the 198 needed for victory against Baxter in a one-day match. The reigning premier may have lost the openers quickly, but Daniel Warwick went to town with an unbeaten 105 and Dale Irving put on a show with 55. Luke Herrington took 3/40 for the Pies.

The Magpies were bowled out in the second last over, 40 runs short of the total. Mark Blake top-scored for the Pies with 36 and Ricky Thompson was next best with 33, while Henry Dolphin opened with 20. Baxter shared the wickets around, Dale Irving and Ben Matters taking three each, and Trav Sawers snaring 2/7 from four overs. Long Island was able to defend 229 against Heatherhill. The Hills lost wickets consistently throughout the innings, eventually dismissed for 168. Dean Shaw top-scored with 30, John Hille Jnr scored 26 and youngster Kristian Miller was next best with 19. Greg Lamb was on fire again for the Islanders with five wickets, and Justin Bridgeman snared four after scoring a ton with the bat.

‘Ramma’ sinks Ridge with big ton, Hastings falls short against Braves DISTRICT By IT Gully PINES coach Ricky Ramsdale picked up where he left off last season in his side’s premiership year, guiding his team home against Main Ridge and belting 153 in the process in MPCA District cricket. “Ramma” strode to the crease with his side in some early trouble at 3/55, chasing the Ridge’s total of 271. However, firstly with Nick Wilcox (40) and then Brett Hudgson (56), Ramsdale dominated the Main Ridge attack and eventually claimed a more than comfortable victory. Pines made 6/348 in its 75 overs, losing just three wickets for almost 300 runs after the initial collapse. Harley Parker kicked off the innings

with aggression, scoring a quick-fire 37. Gareth Wyatt and Daniel Jennings each picked up two wickets for Main Ridge. The home side used eight bowlers in a bid to remove Ramsdale. Stalwart Jason Albress was the one to finally do it. Pines is now in the four. As expected, Baden Powell was able to get the runs required to beat Hastings. Chasing just 141 for victory, Adam Landry was not out overnight and went on to score 32. Skipper Rhys Elmi helped himself to 31 and Elia Carter stole any chance Hastings had of winning the game with 69. Isuru Dias picked up four wickets for the Blues and Scott Phillips snared three.

The game ended by agreement when Andrew Norris was removed for 14 with three overs left and the Braves leading by more than 50 runs. Delacombe Park went for the outright victory against Frankston YCW but fell six wickets short. After scoring 259 in week one, the Parkers rolled YCW for 112 in their first innings, Shane Deal taking 4/28. In the second innings, YCW resisted, although it lost four wickets. Nick Christides, after scoring 27 with the bat, took 3/13 in the second innings. Langwarrin remains six points clear at the top of the District table after defeating Flinders. It was an uninspiring day of cricket at Flinders, the home side never look-

ing like chasing the 320 required for victory. The Langwarrin bowlers were on top from the outset and Flinders finished on 9/205 from its 75 overs. Dwayne Doig was again the pick of the Langwarrin bowlers with 3/73, while Mal Coutts was more than serviceable with 2/44. Tommy Clements was the best of the Flinders bats with 66, Tim Clarke opened with 34 and Andrew Power was solid with 30. After pulling off a sensational round two victory, Seaford come down to earth with a thud, belted by Carrum to the tune of 186 runs. Bowled out for 125, Seaford then spent plenty of time in the field as Carrum banged on 9/311. Dean Polson had a day out, smashing

an unbeaten 158, and James Dent was the next best with 35. Seaford skipper Nathan Volpe was the best of his team’s bowlers with 3/46, and Andy McMannis took 2/76. Boneo was always going to have to do something extraordinary to get the 318 runs Somerville had set the week before. In the end, it proved to be too much. Boneo was rolled for 219, Leigh Lowry scoring an unbeaten 87 before running out of partners. Cam Williams scored 38 and Alex Petrovic 45 for Boneo. Aaron Kaddatz has kicked off the year in magnificent fashion for the Eagles and picked up another fourwicket haul, while Russell Wilkes is Mr Consistency and contributed 3/56.

A win fit for King of the Islanders SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully FRENCH Island caused the upset of the season so far on Saturday when it knocked over Red Hill in MPCA Sub-district cricket. Chasing just 95 for victory, the Islanders didn’t do it in style, but managed to win by more than 20 runs. Ben King was the star for the Islanders, scoring 61 of the team’s total of 119. At one stage in the match, it appeared as though Red Hill was going to be able to defend its ordinary total. The Hillmen had the Islanders 4/38 overnight, but Ben and Jacob King went about giving their side some real hope early on day two. Although Jacob went for just seven, it was enough to take the Islanders from 4/38 to 5/68. At this point, it was game on. Aaron King then strode to the crease and helped the score to 80 before he was bowled by Simon Dart. When the eighth wicket fell, the Islanders were still five short of victory. Noel Thompson’s single run was enough to ensure victory while King did the scoring. Red Hill’s opening bowlers Glenn Collett

and Dart each picked up two wickets, as did Luke Toy, who had figures of 2/11. Balnarring successfully defended 324, but it didn’t come without a fight from Dromana. Opener Zac Klan scored 100 for the Hoppers and Andrew Thompson 92 as they went within 60 runs of claiming an unlikely victory. The Hoppers finished day two eight wickets down, but ran out of overs. Brodie Hilet was the pick of the Balnarring bowlers with 3/62, and Luke Chapple snared 2/66. Rosebud was able to hold off Skye, winning comfortably by almost 80 runs to keep its unbeaten record intact. Defending 218, the Buds rolled Skye for 141, Scott Clark the chief wicket-taker with 3/17, while Abbotsford recruit Cam Keepa helped himself to 2/25 opening the bowling. The evergreen Brad Glenn snared 2/12 and Darren Kerr picked up 2/49. The match between Tyabb and Seaford Tigers went down to the wire, the home team holding off the Tigers to win by just six runs. Tyabb, defending 166, bowled the Tigers

out in the 66th over for 160. The Tigers appeared to be cruising at 5/136, but it quickly became 6/136. They then lost 3/0 to be 9/150, before Jordy Watters was knocked over with the score on 160. Nathan Hudgson opened the bowling for the Yabbies and snared 4/66 from 24.5 overs, and Jack Raeside had a significant impact on the result, taking 4/32 from 21 overs. Ash Mills top-scored for Seaford with 32, and Corey Hand made 30. Pearcedale defeated Carrum Downs by 34 runs. Defending 197, the Panthers dismissed the Cougars for 163 in the 54th over. The game appeared all over with the score on 8/125, but the tail of Chamara Perera (27) and Tim Aydin (23) kept the game going and give Pearcedale some tense moments. Earlier, Cougars skipper Steven Worker made 49. Justin Heysham was the best of the Pearcedale bowlers with 4/27 from 13 overs, while Warren TeGiffel took three wickets to go with his 29 runs.

Favourites look likely in Emirates OVER the years the Emirates Stakes on the final day of the Melbourne Cup carnival has been a race very much for outsiders starting at odds of up to 100/1. This year the trend is likely to be broken with the winner coming in at single figures. At this stage there appears to be four outstanding prospects – Ambidexter, Fat Al, Fawkner and Solzhenitsyn – and they all will be solidly backed. The Queenslander Solzhenitsyn has put together an impressive record since joining the Eagle Farm stables of Robert Heathcote. Two starts back Solzhenitsyn won the Group 1 Toorak Handicap at Caulfield and there were legitimate excuses when he ran third to gun Kiwi Silent Achiever in the Schweppes Crystal Mile at Moonee Valley. He will be much better suited to the roomier stretches of Flemington as well as dropping back to handicap conditions. The consistent Peter Snowdentrained Ambidexter goes into the Emirates with sound credentials. After finishing a courageous second in the Group 1 Epsom Handicap at Randwick, he covered ground and seemed lost when fifth in the Schweppes Crystal Mile. He is another who will be better suited at headquarters. The Melbourne spring carnival has

extra 200 metres is going to suit him. Another to come into calculations is Happy Trails following the booking of in-form jockey Damien Oliver. Happy Trails has been out of the money at his two starts since winning the Feehan Stakes at Moonee Valley. However, there were legitimate excuses for him as he was not suited by the distance when racing in the Turnbull Stakes (2000 metres) and Cox Plate (2040 metres). Also, he was pushed into a forward position in the Cox Plate and this told against him in the straight. Selections: 1 Solzhenitsyn 2 Fawkner 3 Ambidexter 4 Fat Al Horses worth keeping in mind from Derby Day are Lunar Rise, Union Gap, Right To Roam, Dare To Dream, Ibicenco, Shamexpress, Sizzling, Prairie Star, Rawnaq, Oasis Bloom, Invest, Outlandish Lad, Morant and McClintock. Best: Union Gap.

so far been disappointing for leading Sydney conditioner Gai Waterhouse, but Fat Al provides her with a chance to break the drought in the majors. The four-year-old led throughout

under a lightweight to win the Epsom Handicap in gutsy fashion and has been kept fresh for this week’s assignment. Lloyd Williams-owned Fawkner

pressed his claims with a whirlwind finish to score over 1400 metres at Flemington on Saturday. It was his fourth win in succession and his fifth win at the track and obviously the

Baden Powell’s hard-fought win HASTINGS CRICKET By Greg Bradshaw HASTINGS Firsts were defending only 141 with Scott Phillips scoring 69 of them. Baden Powell resumed on 1/44 with the Hastings bowlers looking for early wickets. Issy Dias made the first breakthrough after 7 overs then Phillips picked up the scalp of Landry for 32, Baden Powell 3/63. The next pair put on 33 runs, when Dias came back with immediate effect with two wickets in two overs, 5/97, and the Blues had a sniff but the next pair dug to get within five runs of victory when the sixth wicket fell, 6/136, then cruising to 7/199 when the stumps were drawn. Dias again bowled superbly taking 4/64 from 25 overs while Phillips took 3/49 also off 25 overs. Six catches were dropped. Hastings Seconds scored 10/93 on day one and Baden Powell resumed at 1/78. Baden Powell was looking for quick runs to make Hastings bat again and press for an outright result. This they did, cruising to 2/162 before declaring. Carey Sawosz took the only wicket to fall. Hastings had 57 overs to bat to save the game and, again as with the first innings, wickets fell regularly, 5/26 after only 18 overs. Captain Jason Slocombe then dug in to bat 37 overs for 17 runs showing how to value your wicket. He combined with Chris White (31) and Dave Craig (19) to save

the side from outright defeat, finishing with 108 and leaving Baden Powell only two overs to make 40 runs, which didn’t happen. The Thirds played Tootgarook, which batted first. The Toot top order batted very well with one batsman making 100 out of 7/216. The bowlers toiled hard with Kayne Lewis being the pick with 2/23 off 10 tidy overs, Kevin Watson 2/33 off 5 and Matt Sawosz 2/43 off 7. Greg Bradshaw and Matt Foy opened the batting and got off to a

flyer, 0/59 after 10 overs. The runs kept flowing with Bradshaw finally out for 71 in the 18th over, 1/96, with Foy following soon after for a solid 21, 2/107. Pat Foy and Chris Marsh kept the runs flowing with Marsh scoring a breezy 32, 3/161, Foy kept his head as wickets began to fall, 5/183 with 10 overs to play. Nathan Goodacre provided support as the score cruised along finishing at 7/218 off 37 overs with Foy scoring 60no. Under-15s versus Rosebud-

Boneo. Rosebud-Boneo 10/135. Hastings batted steadily against some tidy bowling, 1/26 after 14 overs, then collapsed to 4/34 when Matt Foy and Billy Jeremiah came together and added 42 runs with Jeremiah scoring 11. Foy kept going but the tail showed little resistance as Hastings were dismissed for 109 with Foy batting through the innings making 45no Under-13s versus Mt Martha. Hastings 10/160, Mt Martha resumed on 1/12. The bowlers performed well, taking wickets at regular intervals, 7/61 before an eightyear-old produced a classy innings of 36 to be last man out and nearly get Mt Martha over the line, 10/119. The wickets were shared around with Corbin Overton taking 2/12 off 6 overs, Blake Mealey 2/7 off 4, Jackson Coles 1/8 off 6, Ryan McNamara 1/10 off 6 (and four catches), Pat Wilson 1/10 off 5 and Thomas Finn 1/22. Under-11s versus Balnarring. Hastings scored 3/76 off 20 over with Finn making 14, Matt Dodd 9 and Kayde Seymour 5. Balnarring replied with 10/54 with Devlin Webb taking 2/2, Thomas Buckley 2/2, Seymour 1/8 and Lochie Robertson 1/2. The highlight was the boys’ catching, fielding and runouts. The side has a bye next round. Coming event: The Hastings Milo In2Cricket program begins this Friday 9 November at 5pm for one hour.
