FAMILIES went fishing last Friday off Frankston Pier as part of a That’s The Thing About Fishing with Guru Glenn and Nui event for the school holidays. The day was organised by the Frankston North Community Centre and as the sun shone on the bay children, parents and grandparents banded together to try to catch big fish.

Hit-run mum death charges Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE laying of floral tributes and a public vigil united Carrum Downs residents on Sunday evening to bid a sad farewell to mother-of-two Andrea Lehane. The 34-year-old was tragically killed when run down by one of a group of “monkey-bike” riders as she walked over a pedestrian crossing to the shopping centre at about 5pm last Wednesday (23 September). A Frankston North man, 18-year-old

Caleb Jakobsson, appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court over her death on Saturday. He faces eight charges, including culpable driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop after an accident, failing to render assistance after an accident, unlicensed driving and driving an unregistered vehicle. He did not apply for bail and was remanded to reappear in court this week. It is alleged Mr Jakobsson was riding the second in a group of five monkey bikes when it hit Ms Lehane, throwing her up to seven metres along the bitu-

men, where she landed on her head and sustained serious head and chest injuries. In the collision the rider and a pillion passenger were thrown from the bike, with the passenger running off before Mr Jakobsson remounted and rode away to join the other monkey bike riders, leaving Ms Lehane for dead. Ms Lehane was taken by air ambulance to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition. Husband James made the heart-wrenching decision to turn off life support on Saturday. He will honour her wish to donate her organs.

Two boys, aged 16 and 17, have also been charged in relation to the incident. They have been bailed to appear at a children’s court on charges of reckless conduct endangering life and unlicensed driving. Floral tributes adorned the area where the incident occurred, with many shoppers still in shock on Sunday. Others were angry at the apparent lack of action over “young hoons” who frequently charge through the centre in groups, do “monos” and wheelies and harass cyclists. Continued Page 10

No go for GoPro cams on helmets

Karate king joins the greats SEAFORD dojo martial arts instructor Soke, Tony Ball, has been honoured with an induction into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame last month. Ball has been training and has trained many others in martial arts called Fudoshin Ryu Bujutsu, a blend of aikido, kung fu, judo, jujutsu, weaponry and karate, with a focus on the unity of the mind, body and spirit. Dojo black belt Senpai, Sean Hosking, said the Australian Martial Arts Hall of Fame is “very selective” when it comes to choosing hall of fame inductees. Soke Ball was inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame at a ceremonial dinner event in Hobart on 22 August for in the lifetime achievement category. “This has been a long time coming. Soke Tony Ball has

been involved in community work for many years including the ground work for the martial arts therapy program taught in many Victorian schools now,” Senpai Hosking said. Soke Ball joins other Australian inductees such as Richard Norton (actor in Mad Max: Fury Road and several Jackie Chan movies) and world heavyweight Kyokushin Karate champion Bruce Haynes. Soke Tony Ball is a martial arts teacher at the not-forprofit Yamagawa-ha Fudoshin Ryu at Seaford Community Centre, corner of Station and Broughton St, Seaford. The school plans to open a second dojo in Aspendale soon. See fudoshinmartialarts.net or call 9539 3836 for further information.

MODERN technology was on trial in Frankston Magistrates’ Court last week in a judgement with implications for motorcycle riders across Victoria. A magistrate fined motorcyclist Max Lichtenbaum $150 for wearing two small GoPro-type cameras on his helmet and dismissed an appeal by the Frankston rider to have an infringement notice issued by police thrown out. Mr Lichtenbaum had originally been fined $289 and three demerit points after he was stopped by police on 22 March in Plowman Place, Frankston while wearing the helmet-cam. Police said the 55-year-old had broken safety standards by adding extensions to his motorcycle helmet. Mr Lichtenbaum’s lawyer said last week’s court decision “is a disappointing outcome for riders and for motorcycle safety”. “Riders tell us they wear helmet cameras to improve their safety while on the roads, and that drivers and other road users show more care when there is a camera in use,” Maurice Blackburn principal Malcolm Cumming said. “And if there is a road accident or collision, helmet camera footage is among the best evidence you can get.” Mr Cumming said riders should not be punished for trying to improve road safety. He slammed helmet laws across Australia as “a dog’s breakfast”. “We continue to call for urgent re-

form in the law to fix the ambiguity around compliance of helmets with Australian Standards.” Australian Motorcycle Council helmets committee chair Guy Stanford said motorcycle helmet safety standards vary from state to state so riders crossing state borders could find themselves unwittingly pinged by police due to differing safety rules. In South Australia and Queensland, for example, road rules state a helmet only needs to comply with Australian Standards at the time of manufacture. Mr Stanford said Victorian authorities’ insistence that any helmet protrusion of more than 5 millimetres could cause injuries in an accident “has been discounted internationally”. “The whole set up for how this is being managed for Victoria is appallingly bad,” he said. Mr Stanford said crash test results globally have shown helmet cameras do not cause further injury to riders unless a hole has been drilled to bolt a camera to a helmet. He urged all state governments to implement a nationwide set of safety standards to include the right to affix a small camera to helmets. Mr Cumming said an appeal against Mr Lichtenbaum’s fine may be lodged with the Supreme Court. “We will continue to push for standardised national helmet laws that embrace new technology and rider safety.” Neil Walker

It’s on: the battle for Dunkley Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au POLITICS can be a brutal business and that has certainly been the case for Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson after he was axed from incoming Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s reshuffled cabinet last week in the wake of Mr Turnbull’s successful leadership challenge against former prime minister Tony Abbott. Mr Billson had wanted to continue in his role as Small Business Minister but was told by Mr Turnbull last weekend his time “at the boardroom table of our country”, as Mr Billson described it to The Times, had come to an abrupt end. “It’s been a bruising experience, one of great disappointment both personally and professionally, but it’s a tough business and this is part of it,” he said. “The Prime Minister made it clear to me that my demotion was nothing to do with my performance and I’d excelled in what I was doing.” Mr Turnbull appointed Higgins Liberal MP Kelly O’Dwyer as Mr Billson’s successor as Small Business Minister. As the disappointment of losing his seat at the cabinet table sinks in, Mr Billson also faces a looming battle to retain the seat of Dunkley when the federal election is called. Labor Party strategists have Dunkley in their sights as a potential ‘gain’ despite Mr Billson holding a 5.5 per cent margin at the 2013 federal election. Mr Billson declined to confirm he would definitely stand as the Liberal Party candidate for Dunkley come election time but would decide

ALP challenger lays down the law

Happier times: Liberal MP Bruce Billson out and about in Seaford last year trying to sell the much-criticised first budget of the former Abbott government. Picture: Yanni

“I’ll be having a long and deep and meaningful discussion with my family about the next phases of the career strategy,” he said. “I am the preselected candidate for the Liberal Party for Dunkley. The place runs through my veins and I love the community and I look forward to continuing to serve it. “Right now my focus is on supporting the people around me and I’ll focus on myself once I’m satisfied that the dedicated staff and people around me who have given so much are being looked after as well as they can.” MPs lose office support staff if they are ousted from cabinet. Mr Billson said he would “have to go through a period of readjustment” to political life outside of cabinet in Canberra after more than a decade as a cabinet

minister but he fully supports the new Turnbull government. “I’ve just been encouraging everyone … to stay classy and focused. I’m doing all I can do to support the success of the new government because their success is inextricably linked to our nation’s success and the opportunities and quality of life our citizens in Dunkley can enjoy.” An upside to the downside of being abruptly dumped from cabinet is a renewed ability to fully focus on winning re-election as the member for Dunkley if Mr Billson decides to continue his political career. “It’s always a juggle of limited time and lots more demand on it than you can squeeze into the diary but that contest looks very different now and you might say my diary has opened up somewhat,” he said.

LABOR believes it has a chance to win the seat of Dunkley from the Liberal Party for the first time in decades with defence lawyer Peta Murphy given the job of attacking sitting MP Bruce Billson’s majority at the next federal election due to be held in January next year at the latest. Despite standing on different sides of politics Ms Murphy is familiar with Mr Billson’s former portfolio in cabinet. The 42-year-old Mt Eliza resident is a self-employed barrister. “You’re essentially your own small business,” she said. As for Mr Billson’s removal from cabinet by new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Ms Murphy believed the former Small Business Minister had paid the price for unflagging support for former prime minister Tony Abbott. “Bruce Billson was obviously very closely aligned with Tony Abbott and was hip-and-shoulder with him. It’s a matter for him but he’s now going to have to decide what he does with his future,” Ms Murphy said. “Certainly he was very close to Abbott and all those policies that Abbott put forward that the community has resoundly rejected.” Ms Murphy says she decided to enter the public political fray after years of working behind the scenes helping Labor with legal advice on its policies.

Across brief: Labor candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy.

“It’s always something I’ve been interested in because what I am interested in is community and policies that really affect the way people live.” The Labor candidate flagged “jobs” as the biggest concern for Dunkley voters. “Unemployment has risen in Dunkley in every single suburb since the election of the Abbott-Turnbull government. People are concerned about jobs for people now but also the really pressing issue of jobs for our youth once they finish their training and apprenticeships.” “It’s a combination of factors. Manufacturing is changing and we’ve lost a lot of the manufacturing base. In recent years there hasn’t been enough attention paid to the smart jobs of the future: science, technology, engineering.”

Before new dawn: Frankston Dolphins players train in front of the partially-built function centre at Frankston Park earlier this year. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

Function centre open for business THE two-storey Frankston Park Function Centre was officially opened last weekend on Saturday (19 September) by Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer, Labor Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny and Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson. With Frankston Park already home to special events, VFL football, local football, junior football and - from next year - women’s football, Cr Mayer said this modern function centre would make Frankston Park a hub for an even wider section of the local community. “This venue will cater for functions, events and conferences for local businesses, schools, sports clubs and community organisations,” she said. “It’s also another great development for Frankston, along with significant investments in the Frankston Station Precinct, Chisholm TAFE, South East Water, the PARC aquatic centre and the Frankston Yacht Club redevelopment.” Funded by the Frankston City Council ($1.5 million), State Government ($1.5 million), Frankston Football Club ($400,000), AFL Victoria ($250,000), AFL ($250,000) and federal government ($200,000), the centre will seat as many as 350 people downstairs and 220 people upstairs. “We’re listening to grassroots sports clubs, who say they need more space to grow. Our investment will help the Frankston Dolphins stage vital fundraisers - and that means a stronger club,”

Victorian Sports Minister John Eren said. The function centre will be council-owned and managed by the Frankston Dolphins as part of their Frankston Park lease agreement. AFL Victoria infrastructure and planning manager Ricky Bell said the project will help the Frankston Football Club become a strong and viable entity within the VFL. “Frankston Football Club provides local talented players an opportunity to play at the highest level possible within their local area. It is hoped that this facility development will support the club in their ongoing sustainability and continue to see Frankston Park as the premier football facility in the region.” Dolphins Acting President Joe Russo said “generous grants from Frankston Council, state government, AFL Victoria, AFL and the federal government” will enable the Frankston Football Club to provide the community sporting and social clubs with a cost-effective alternative for functions and events. “This will give the Frankston Football Club the ability to generate the income necessary so the people of Frankston can have a successful, standalone VFL football team that we can all be proud of, and which will give our local up-andcoming footballers a pathway to play football at the highest level. This is what the Frankston Football Club is all about,” he said.

Chomp, chomp: mulcher makes light work of pests A LARGE mechanical mulching machine that chews vegetation into coarse mulch has been used to remove large woody weeds in the Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve as part of works to regenerate indigenous flora species. The work involved the removal of coast tea tree and sallow wattle which are identified as priority pest plants for eradication in the reserve. Much of the mulching is done by hand using chainsaws, and this is where Parks Victoria’s tracked forestry mulcher is used – especially in the more densely weeded areas where hand removal is not practical. The treatment is then followed up with an intensive weed management program that will return the area to its native heathy woodland state. “Burning is a method sometimes used to reduce weeds, however, in this instance, it would have been detrimental to the Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve in the longer term because it would have increased vigorous woody weed regrowth,” Parks Victoria area chief ranger Bill Mallinson said. “Mulching woody weeds is superior to other methods of weed removal, such as burning, as it does not cause mass germination of the wat-

tle and tea tree seeds which are stored in the soil and can be very difficult to control. “The mulch also provides an ideal environment for the indigenous heathy woodland species to grow, which is a great outcome for the park.” Visitors will notice a change in the park where the works have been conducted. “It is not what you would usually expect good environmental park management to look like,” Mr Mallinson said. However, Parks Victoria says residents should not to be concerned as it is an important step in restoration of the indigenous heathy woodland. “At first, the initial impact of the works are not visually appealing, however, the long-term results will be a much healthier indigenous heathy woodland that will be consistent to other high quality areas within the reserve.” The mulching works also support work done by the Friends of The Pines who help control weeds and encourage balanced natural biodiversity within the reserve. Parks Victoria will continue to monitor the results of this work to ensure long-term success of the weed removal program. Details: parks. vic.gov.au or call 13 19 63.

NEWS DESK In the swim: Ageing Well Expo poster girl Lois Dennington will represent Victoria in the Australian Masters Games, 3 October.

Doomed duo: Romeo (Zachary Thomas) and Juliet (Gretel Sharp) seal their love for each other with a kiss as Dionysus Theatre’s storytellers Sam (Madeline Rintoul) and Greg (Mitchell Sholer) watch from afar, feeling they have to do something about the lovers’ fate in Shakespeare’s play.

Love is all around ‘in the round’ FICTION’S two most famous star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are coming to Frankston next month thanks to a Dionysus Theatre production of Shakespeare’s passionate and tense tragedy. Romeo & Juliet will be staged at the McClelland College Performing Arts Centre in early October and director Emma Sproule is looking forward to bringing the tale of the two lovers caught between the feuding Capulet and Montague families to life. Those who already know the story of Romeo & Juliet will still find the Dionysus Theatre take on the Shakespeare play unique. “Ours is an interpretation that focuses on the power of the story and how timeless it continues to be as we introduce two storytellers, Sam and Greg, who weave in and out of the story in order to heighten our appreciation and understanding of its effect on us, even though we know from the very

beginning exactly how it has to end,” Ms Sproule said. In a post-modern twist, Sam and Greg become players in the story and try to save the doomed titular lovers. For centuries, Romeo & Juliet has been the love story by which all others are measured, and even though so many of its elements are outdated, extreme and unrealistic, it is as relevant today as it was more than 400 years ago. Dionysus’ twist to this tale shows that it still today remains the greatest love story ever told and it continues to be told because that is the power of a great story – the power that we never tire of sharing and living them; even when we know how they will end. Romeo & Juliet will be performed ‘in the round’ at McClelland College Performing Arts Centre, 26 Alexander Crescent, Karingal, 2-10 October, 8pm. Tickets $30, $25 concession, group booking discounts. See dionysustheatre. com.au for full dates and booking information.

Swimming in gold FEW 81-year-olds are as active as Lois Dennington. Still working full time in Mornington, the octogenarian is about to represent Victoria in five swimming events at the Australian Masters Games. Ms Dennington first began competitive swimming after her youngest child left home in 1984 – now she has won so many medals that she’s lost track. “I have three photo albums full of pictures of my medals,” he quipped. She’s hoping to bring home more gold this week. “I’m competing in five events: three backstroke and two freestyle.” Ms Dennington holds the Victorian records for the 50, 100 and 200 metres backstroke in the 80-84-year-old category. A key factor in keeping her social and active is regularly attending her

swimming club, she says. An ageing population in the Frankston-Mornington Peninsula region makes it increasingly important for oldies to keep healthy and active. Peninsula Health’s successful Ageing Well Expo, held during Seniors Week, is the largest event in the region dedicated to ageing well. The expo, in its 10th year, attracts more than 1200 residents to see its specialty workshops and stalls tackling ageing issues, such as healthy eating, planning for retirement, power of attorney and mental health. The expo will be held 9.30am-2pm, Thursday 8 October, at New Peninsula Baptist Church, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

New book is a body of work STOP consulting ‘Dr Google’. A practical new book written by a medical expert, Frankston GP Dr Tony Marshal, aims to give people a basic understanding of how the human body works and its common ailments. Written in layman’s terms, Human Machine is a handy condensation of a six year medical school course tailored to the everyday person for consultation on daily health issues. With 25 years’ experience in his field, Dr Marshal, of Playne Street Mediclinic, is a regular columnist for medical magazines including Australian Doctor and Medical Observer. He said he decided to write Human Machine after finding people gener-

ally lacked an understanding of basic health literacy. Dr Marshal said that although owner’s manuals are provided for all types of appliances, gadgets, and even mobile phones, there is still no ‘owner’s manual’ for the complex machine that is the human body. “The reality is that people often go their whole lives without ever having read a basic book about their body,” he said. “This manual was an opportunity for me to fill this gap and help to educate people about how the human body works.” The book begins with a simple description of a cell and covers the basics of anatomy, physiology and

pathology, illustrating the components of all the systems that make up the human body and includes symptoms of some of the most common diseases that each organ or system can suffer, for example hypertension, asthma, stroke and diabetes and also focuses on general health issues, such as obesity, sleep disturbances, travel medicine and first aid. There is also a useful compendium of addresses and telephone numbers of local and national organisations in the Australian health system. Human Machine is on sale now at Bookpal, Amazon and other leading booksellers. A copy can also be picked up at the Playne Street Mediclinic, 490 Nepean Hwy, Frankston.

Camping fun and inspiration for diabetes fighters Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FOUR teenagers with diabetes received some welcome inspiration from former AFL player Jack Fitzpatrick in Mt Eliza last week. Ben McVea, 15, of Langwarrin, Imogen Price, 12, of Somerville, Caleb Govan, 12, of Pearcedale and Billie Angelone, 14, of Parkdale, were participants in a four-day Diabetes Victoria senior camp at Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza. They are learning how to live well with type 1 diabetes in a fun, safe and supportive environment, and shared a culture of independence through adventure. Billie Angelone was diagnosed in July 2005 when she was four. She used to cry every time she had to inject insulin, which was hard for her parents to watch. Billie can’t remember life without diabetes and is having a fun time at camp. “At home, I don’t have any friends who have diabetes,” she said. “It’s great to meet others and to receive so much support.” She’s keen to catch up with her new friends after returning home and to stay in touch through social media. She says people at home accept her diabetes but don’t necessarily understand what it’s like to live with the condition every day. She greatly enjoyed meeting professional football player Jack Fitzpatrick. “It was inspiring to hear his story,” Billie said. “It’s really motivating to hear how he manages his diabetes

to live a full and happy life. There’s nothing you can’t do if you have diabetes.” Billie believes the world is her stage and loves performing in school productions, dance, school aerobics and drama. Caleb Govan was diagnosed in October 2012. “Initially, the shock was quite overwhelming and it took some time and many tears to get our heads around it,” said his mum Rebecca, a busy mother of five. “There are no days off with diabetes but we have found that, as we accepted

the diagnoses, it just became part of our everyday life.” Caleb has been really excited about going to the camp – and has found it even better than he imagined: “I am rapt to be here for the first time. I have learned new things about diabetes and have met great people.” He plans to stay in touch with new buddy Ben McVea after camp. Caleb said he wished he didn’t have diabetes but still has a positive attitude: “I don’t hate it, I don’t like it. You just have to live with it.” Caleb loved meeting Jack Fitzpatrick

and was inspired at hearing his personal story. “If you can do that, you really can do anything. The sky is your limit,” he said. A keen “builder”, Caleb is an active boy who loves playing on the family poultry farm where there is always “something fun” to keep him occupied. Imogen Price was only three when she was diagnosed. “We felt scared and overwhelmed at the time,” her mum Amanda Cox said. “It felt like all of our life became about Imogen.” Today, almost 10 years later, Imogen

is living well with her diabetes: “It’s just a matter of control,” the 12-year old said. Imogen has had “tons of fun” at the camp and loves to socialise: “It’s fantastic to meet others with diabetes and to hear their stories.” Imogen loves ballroom dancing, reading and writing in her free time. In 2006, when Ben McVea was diagnosed, his parents Lesley and Ross felt overwhelmed. The diagnosis started a big learning process. Now, the family takes each day as it comes and tries not overreact to the highs and lows. Ben is a passionate footy player and had great fun meeting Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick said living with type 1 diabetes “can be frustrating sometimes”. “When I was diagnosed three years ago, it was quite confronting to hear that I would have to have multiple insulin injections every day for the rest of my life. “But life with diabetes doesn’t have to be a struggle. I absolutely believe that diabetes will only ever hold you back if you let it.” About 50 teenagers from all over Victoria spent four days of their school holidays at the camp. They are among 2900 Victorians aged under 18 living with type 1 diabetes. Also attending were various health professionals and diabetes educators. Diabetes Victoria organises six diabetes camps every year in partnership with the Royal Children’s Hospital and Southern Health.

Riders charged over hit-run death Tragedy: Eighteenyear-old Caleb Jakobsson was arrested, left, over the hit-run death of mother-of-two Andrea Lehane at Carrum Downs Regional Shopping Centre, right, last week. Pics: Gary Sissons

Continued from Page 1 Ms Lehane, a nurse, had children aged three and four. Their dad took them to see the floral tributes laid as a mark of respect to their mum. Detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit made the arrests at Frankston police station Friday afternoon and Saturday with the “person of most interest” – the rider of the bike which struck Ms Lehane – the last to be charged after handing himself in. CCTV footage shows the monkey bike allegedly driven by Mr Jakobsson – carrying a pillion passenger – colliding with Mrs Lehane as she nears the end of the crossing. The rider falls off and the passenger runs away while Mrs Lehane lies on the bitumen. The rider quickly gets back on and – disregarding his victim’s plight – quickly rides off in a westerly direction. Police later described the behaviour of the five motorcycle riders as “callous”. Off-duty Frankston SES member Steve Wall, who was shopping at the regional centre, witnessed the aftermath of the incident and was one of the first

to assist the stricken woman near the entrance to Safeway. “When I got out of my car she must have just been hit,” he said. “The little bikes drove past very fast.” “I started to walk towards the shop and I saw people running towards her. She was in a poor state. I got a blanket and put it over her and waited until the paramedics arrived.” Mr Wall praised the efforts on an offduty female paramedic who eased Mrs Lehane’s immediate suffering. He and another shopper used a blanket to shield the injured woman from bystanders while ambulance officers treated her. Some witnesses chased the riders but couldn’t catch them. Monkey bikes were banned by Frankston Council in 2007. The bikes, which can travel at up to 70kph, are not allowed on public roads or footpaths. The speed limit in the car park where Ms Lehane was struck is 10kph. A crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for Ms Lehane’s family had raised more than $40,000 by Sunday evening.

Council: dob in ‘monkey bikers’ FRANKSTON Council has urged people to report anyone illegally riding a monkey bike on public roads or footpaths in the wake of the death of 34-year-old mother of two Andrea Lehane after a collision at Carrum Downs Shopping Centre last Wednesday. “This will affect so many lives. Our hearts go out to her friends and family through this difficult time,” Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said. Frankston Council resolved to change its local law in October 2007 to ban monkey bikes on public roads and increase police powers to impound unregistered motor vehicles. “Prior to the decision, these unregistered motor vehicles were increasingly becoming an issue, due to growing residential noise complaints and frequent use on footpaths, parks and carparks,” Cr Mayer said.

“They were also driving illegally on the road, posing a danger to other road users and pedestrians.” Frankston Council is currently holding 10 monkey bikes, eight of which were seized by police in the past 12 months. “Council also has the power to destroy seized unregistered motor vehicles – however we do allow a reasonable amount of time for them to be collected before we destroy them,” said the Mayor. “We also plead with parents to refrain from buying unregistered motor vehicles for children in suburban areas. Children are not aware of the road rules and pose a potential risk, not only to themselves, to other community members.” Anyone with hoon complaints or information related to the Carrum Downs fatal incident, can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Poison canisters danger warning for beaches BEACHGOERS are being reminded not to open any containers washed up on Frankston beaches. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority warned toxic canisters in the Torres Strait, Queensland, NSW, South Australia and Tasmania. The unlabelled silver canisters contain a rat poison known as aluminium phosphide. When a canister is opened, powder reacts with moisture in the air to release highly toxic phosphine gas which is a danger to humans. While there have been no reported cases in Victoria and currents make it likely these containers will not find their way to Port Phillip Bay it is a reminder for all beachgoers to report mystery canisters washed ashore at any time. Exposure to phosphine gas can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, breathing dif-

ficulties, dizziness, tightness of the chest, diarrhoea, fluid in the lungs, liver/kidney damage, and in severe cases death. The gas is also flammable and can spontaneously ignite causing burns or small explosions. Most aluminium phosphide is imported into Australia from China and Africa, and the unused nature of the canisters suggests they have come from an unreported shipping cargo loss sometime before February 2012. The AMSA will monitor the situation and provide technical advice to local hazmat and emergency response services when the canisters are washed ashore. Queensland and NSW fire and emergency services have dealt with over 40 canisters washed up in three years. Canisters should not be moved or opened and any sightings should be reported to emergency services on 000.

Toxic danger: Rat poison, also a danger to humans, is in containers washed up on beaches.

Witty, irreverent: Salon’s works are the ‘ones that got away’ THE exhibition described as the “irreverent and playful rabble-rouser of the Archibald’s” the Salon des Refusés” is coming to Victoria – and Mornington – for the first time. The exhibition showcases what’s described as “the ones that got away” – meaning those artworks that were not granted a showing in the famous Archibald Prize. They include a prized selection of the “humorous, innovative, mad, bad and dangerous entries that were too fabulous to resist”, say Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery organisers, who take delight in hosting the only showing in Victoria. The works, torn from obscurity, include portraits of Robert Forster, Catherine Martin and Carlotta, sculpture of a homeless man by Paul Trefry that was shown in the Wynne landscape prize, portrait of Greek Consul-General Dr Starvos Kyrimis, as well as Christopher Pyett’s sensitive portrait of Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty. The Salon des Refusés was begun by the S.H. Ervin Gallery, in Sydney, in 1992, in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald and Wynne prizes not selected for hanging in the

Talking point: Paul Trefry’s Homeless still human work is of silicone, fiberglass, polyester resin and horse hair. It was a Wynne Prize entry.

official exhibition. Each year a panel is invited to go behind the scenes to select the best from the many works entered, but not chosen, for the official awards. The criteria for those selected in the Salon are quality, diversity, humour and innovation. The S.H. Ervin’s Salon des Refusés exhibition has established a reputation that rivals the selections of the “official” prize exhibitions and is often cited as a “more lively and

discerning” selection, the gallery says. It will run 10 October-29 November at the gallery in Civic Reserve, 350 Dunns Rd (corner Mornington-Tyabb and Dunns Rd), Mornington. Tickets are adults $7, with Mornington gallery and other Victorian gallery members, concession and National Trust Members $4 and children under five free.

Tug-of-war over reef and coal Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au ANTI-coal activists have rallied outside the Hastings office of local MP and environment minister Greg Hunt for the third time this month. Last Wednesday morning, members of national lobby group GetUp held a “friendly tug-of-war between ‘Team Coal’ dressed in black and ‘Team Coral’ in tropical colours” as part of a campaign to “protect the Great Barrier Reef” and protest about Mr Hunt and the Coalition government allowing more coal projects in the Galilee Basin in Queensland. Sam Regester of GetUp said the playful tug-ofwar game “highlighted the serious decision the minister had to make between greater action to protect the Great Barrier Reef and allowing more coal projects that placed the icon at risk”. “Minister Hunt must decide which side he’s on – will he stand with the community and protect the reef or side with the vested interests of the mining industry and risk its ruin,” he said. “Mr Hunt has vital decisions to make on whether he should approve the massive Carmichael mine in the Galilee Basin and a proposal for two million tonnes of dredging in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. “The Queensland government’s own report card into the state of the reef’s health released last week found our natural wonder wasn’t doing well. We need greater action to protect the reef, not more dredging, ports and coal projects that will threaten its future.” The first protest this month was on Wednesday 2 September when protesters from GetUp carried a crate of coal into Mr Hunt’s office, which elicited the now-famous comment from one of his staff members, executive officer Denise Garnock, “so you’re going to pollute our office with coal?” and a furious reaction from Mr Hunt who accused protesters of intimidating his staff. Peninsula GetUp member Simon Hawking hit back, saying there were three police officers “happily chatting to the crowd” and they would have been called in to the office if intimidation had occurred.

The second protest was on Wednesday 16 September, a bit of a fizzer as few people turned up although GetUp members and sympathisers have been stopping residents in Hastings’ main street and talking to them about the reef and coal on several days during the month. Queensland environment minister Steven Miles last week released the annual report about the health of the reef, which stated the overall condition of its inshore marine environment remained poor. The report assessed run-off and the reef’s condition between 2009-14 and found that sediment, nutrients and pesticide loads had decreased but had fallen short of meeting targets. Mr Miles said there was more bad news than good in the report. “The results are far from our targets, and progress to these targets flatlined in the period 2013-14,” he said. In July, the United Nations World Heritage Committee decided not to list the reef as “in danger” but Mr Miles said international concern about the reef was justified. “The report shows progress on meeting targets has stalled, and UNESCO’s interest was the right thing,” he said.

The smiling face of Cambodia Go kart gone A GO KART with the number 69 on the front was stolen from a property at Skye earlier this month. Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives have been told burglars forced an entry to a shed on the rural property on Ballarto Rd between 3-9 September. Detectives have released an image of the 20-year-old go kart (above) and appeal for anyone with information to come forward. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic. com.au

Clarification SINGAPORE’S Central Narcotics Bureau contacted The Times to advise an eight per cent increase in the arrest of “drug abusers” in Singapore last year (‘Force rehab for drug users’, The Times 21/9/15) was for the six months to June 2015 compared to the first six months of 2014 and not the full year. The 37 per cent of drug abusers being new abusers statistic quoted was also a comparison between the first six months of 2014 and 2015. The Christian Life-Gate organisation, a Frankson based group, says Victoria should follow Singapore with a compulsory four-month rehabilitation for drug users and 15-20 year jail sentences for drug traffickers.

A SMILE goes a long way and that’s certainly the case for a significant number of children in Cambodia. Dental Health Services Victoria CEO Dr Deborah Cole said a donation of dental equipment to a village in Siem Reap in Cambodia had made a big difference to the community. The donation was part of the Green Gecko Project which the Rotary Club of Frankston Peninsula 2.0 supports. “Seeing all the smiling faces and children brushing their teeth was absolutely amazing, uplifting and quite inspirational,” Dr Cole said. Green Gecko Project co-founder Tania Palmer thanked DHSV in a letter noting “because of the generosity we are now one step closer to achieving our dream of offering access to dental care to those who would otherwise be unable to afford it.” Rotary member Trudy Poole said the dental project in the town was progressing well. “For the past eight years we have engaged a local Khmer dentist, Dr Hor, to look after more than 100 Green Gecko children’s dental needs. “The Green Gecko Project’s philosophy is to create a sustainable community and having a reliable local young Khmer dentist that is available, especially when an emergency arises, is so important and is further enhancing the sustainability model. “The new hygiene room is now generously equipped by DHSV and it also serves as a place where the little ones practise what good oral health means. “My husband and I are planning to go back to Gecko at the end of January to see how the project is progressing.”

Auditioning for life in film THE “thrill of the performance” drives Mt Martha actor and director Callum Needham, who has written, produced, directed and acted in his own short film, Fatum, being shown at the Astor Theatre, East St Kilda, in November. Named after the Latin word for destiny or fate, Fatum has a strong anti-bullying theme and also offers a positive message for young teens not to bow to peer or parental pressure but to follow their dreams. Needham, who attended Mt Martha Primary School and Mt Eliza Secondary College, began his acting career in Grade 6 in primary school productions and continued right to the end of secondary school. He then took a gap year to visit Europe. Now 21 he is in his final year at Deakin University where he has been

studying film and digital media for the past three years. Fatum is the result of an assignment in which he had to write and direct his own composition. He is soon to audition for both the National Institute of Dramatic Art and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and hopes to be able to continue to follow his acting ambitions at one of these academies. Needham has also written, produced and acted in other Deakin productions, and has had another of his films: These Four Walls, short listed for the Rosebud Short Film Festival. Fatum may be entered this year. Aspiring to a career “treading the boards” is not for the faint-hearted. “WAAPA has a single audition with the aspiring actor doing a Shakespearian monologue, while NIDA demands both a Shakespearean

monologue and a contemporary piece in front of all those auditioning,” he said. “At the end they sit us down and whittle away reducing us from 40 to three, so it’s pretty soul-destroying. I first did an audition there when I was in Year 12 aged 17. I didn’t know what to expect then but I will be doing it all again at the end of the year.” Needham said acting was all about feeling emotions in whatever character he portrays. “If I am playing an evil character I want the audience to hate me,” he said. “If I am playing a lovable character I want them to love me. It’s not about entertaining the audience but making them feel.” He said acting was also about being someone else. “You can be a child and just play,” he said. Stephen Taylor

Roo slaughter on our roads Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORE than 70 kangaroos have been hit and killed by vehicles on Mornington Peninsula roads this year, says animal activist Craig Thomson. Mr Thomson, secretary of Animalia Wildlife Shelter, said roos were being forced on to road reserves by property owners building “9-foot [3-metre] kangaroo-proof fences, especially in the Tuerong to Cape Schanck area”. “The fences limit their ability to move across the land,” he said. “Kangaroos on the peninsula are

an isolated population and we could loose them forever if we don’t protect them.” He said most roos killed were eastern greys, the dominant species in the region. “This is an extraordinarily large number of animals to be killed in a short period of time. It is a miracle that no motorists or passengers have been killed yet.” He said it was often thought that large numbers of roos being killed on roads was the sign of an expanding kangaroo population but this was not the case on the peninsula.

“We are clearing too much vegetation including areas for market gardens.” He said there had been reports of roos entering people’s front yards more frequently. One woman in Cape Schanck was now keeping her gate closed all the time as she was worried about roos accidentally harming her children and pets. “Habitat loss is pushing kangaroos on to roadside verges,” Mr Thomson said. “Many verges are on narrow roads with high speed limits so it is only a matter of time before someone is killed, while we continue to loose our

biodiversity and a tourist drawcard.” A shire spokesman said the decline of the kangaroo population was due to a number of factors including “specialised boundary exclusion fencing including electric fences”, pastoral land being replaced by intensive horticulture such as vegetable growing, and increased traffic volumes. “Threats to kangaroo populations from development are ever-present around the edge of Melbourne and beyond to the peninsula.” Construction of so-called “kangaroo exclusion fences” does not require a planning permit.

Road deaths: More than 70 kangaroos have been killed on peninsula roads this year and wildlife protector Craig Thomson blames roo-proof fences and clearing of habitat. Picture supplied

More patrols to protect hooded plovers PARKS Victoria is increasing ranger patrols on peninsula surf beaches in an attempt to help protect the endangered hooded plover during its breeding season from September to March. Parks Victoria’s peninsula chief ranger Kris Rowe said residents and visitors must abide by dog restrictions. The tougher regime is due to the disappointing breeding season in 201415. Just four chicks survived to fledgling (flying) stage out of 34 chicks hatched. There are fewer than 600 hooded plovers left in Victoria. Mr Rowe said the hooded plover population in Mornington Peninsula National Park was one of the largest in Victoria. “However it has a lower

level of breeding success than those in other Victorian coastal areas and is particularly vulnerable to the presence of dogs,” he said. “Increased ranger patrols will target dog walkers who breach restrictions such as not having their dog on a lead, walking a dog outside regulated times (between sunrise and 9am) or walking a dog in prohibited zones. “Dogs are prohibited at all times in specific signposted zones throughout the national park, including between Portsea and Flinders, to protect breeding habitats of plovers and other protected species. “Dog walking is permitted on-lead between sunrise and 9am only along

sections of the national park that are marked by signs. These areas consist of about 14km of coast between Sorrento and Rye and additional sections at Portsea Surf Beach, St Andrews Beach and Flinders Ocean Beach.” He said it was the responsibility of dog owners to ensure they were aware of the restrictions and were doing the right thing. “We can’t emphasise enough how important it is for everyone to abide by the rules so that we can give the hooded plovers their best chance of survival,” he said. Alternative areas for dog walking on the southern peninsula include some Port Phillip beaches and leash-

free reserves managed by Mornington Peninsula Shire. For detailed information and maps, visit www.parks.vic.gov.au or call 13 1963. For advice on dog walking areas outside the national park, visit www. mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 1300 850 600. Mike Hast

Warning: Parks Victoria is stepping up ranger patrols on peninsula surf beaches and warning dog owners about complying with dog-walking rules to better protect the endangered hooded plover. Picture supplied

No butts as footy club leads way MT Martha Junior Football Club is the first junior sporting club to sign on to the Frankston Mornington Peninsula Smoke Free Charter. President Warren Davies said the club hoped other sporting clubs will follow their lead and sign the charter. “It’s been really well received at the club. Even the smokers think it’s a good initiative; they don’t want their kids to become smokers either, so they’re happy to be involved.” By signing the charter, the club has made a public commitment to reduce the number of people who smoke and to protect people from the damaging effects of secondhand smoke through putting up more “no smoking” signs. “It’s about educating and role modelling for the kids,” Mr Davies said. “There won’t be any coaches, runners or supporters smoking on the sidelines and there’ll be information in the clubrooms about the dangers of smoking.” Health promotion practitioner Andie Murphy is asking sporting clubs to join the junior football club and support smoke-free sporting. “Smoking rates on the Mornington Peninsula are 10 per cent higher than the Victorian average,” he said. “By making a stand against smoking, sporting clubs can help empower the community to take action for their health and wellbeing – after all, sporting clubs are the heartbeat of our community.” Sporting clubs interested in talking action can email Andie Murphy at amurphy@phcn. vic.gov.au Peninsula Health has quit smoking support services at Frankston, Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

First hand account from Gallipoli Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of cattle, sheep and sundries to dispose of. The sale will commence at half past twelve o’clock. *** A PUBLIC meeting is called for Monday evening next by Mr G.Griffeth, president of the shire, in the Fruitgrowers’ Hall, Somerville, for the purpose of forming a branch of the Patriots’ League. Mr M. F. King, of Melbourne, will address the meeting. *** AT the recent examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Academy and Royal College of music the following pupils have passed:—Millie Dodd, primary division; Beatrice Andrews, elementary division, and Margaret Lander, higher division. *** IN future mails including letters, newspapers, packets and parcels for Expeditionary Forces will close at General Post Office, Melbourne, at 5 p.m. on day preceding despatch of mails. Letters from country districts must arrive at time stated to ensure despatch by outgoing mails. *** AFTER a delay of about 18 months owing to some of the parts having gone astray in transit, the work of mounting the cannon in Bay Street, Frankston, is being now proceeded with. It has long been an eyesore, lying in its dismounted state, which hap-

pily will now be removed. *** IN our report of the send-off to Frankston volunteers last week an error occurred in stating that the presentation to Private R. Dixon had been made by Mornington residents. It should have been that the presentation was made by three of Mr Dixon’s personal friends in Frankston. *** A PRESENTATION was made to Miss Gale, last week by the pupils of the Frankston State School in the shape of a nice clock, the occasion being the departure of that young lady to Dookie, to which school she has been appointed. Miss Gale was a favorite with her pupils and also with the fellow-teachers, and their best wishes go with her for her future welfare. *** THE many friends of Mr and Mrs F. T. Hill, will sincerely regret to hear that they have received word from the Defence Department that their son Eric is amongst the missing at Gallipoli. It will be remembered that their eldest son, William, was killed at the front some months ago. We trust that later news will soon be received that Eric has been found and is again in the ranks. *** WE have received a copy of the 44th annual report of the Young Mens’ Christian Association of Melbourne for the year ending 30th June last. It is very nicely got up in pamphlet form, with photos and views of their vari-

ous tents both in Victoria and Egypt. The book gives a short resume of the large amount of work carried out during the past year, more particularly at Broadmeadows (Victoria) and at the Egyptian Bases, in connection with the comfort of our Australian lads. A special contribution is asked to aid the association’s efforts during this time of war. *** LETTERS from the Front. (From Private Alex. Meldrum, of Somerville, now at Gallipoli) I suppose before you receive this letter you will have heard that I got slightly wounded at Gallipoli and hope that you do not run away with the idea that I am blown to pieces. I am one of the fortunate ones and only received slight injuries. It was last Thursday, 5th August, that we got notice to pack up our belongings and get ready to advance early next morning, so we started by sewing white patches on our shirts, one on the back and one on each sleeve, as we had to attack in our shirt sleeves. Our bundles were thrown into big heaps on the edge of the cliff and we were then issued with our iron rations. Then came our first disappointment — we were not to attack till Saturday morning — so we sat in our trenches all night and shivered. I can’t say we slept, at any rate, I didn’t. We waited till 4.30 in the evening when things got moving on our right and we gained three lines of trenches, as the Turks just simply took to their heels. This put us in great jumps. In the meantime the warships had moved

up the bay and started shelling the trenches in our direct front at 8 o’clock in the evening. At midnight our warships started shelling these trenches and it was like hell let loose. Pieces of shell were hitting all round us and I didn’t think there would be a Turk left alive in those trenches, but that is where we got a shock. At 4 in the morning, just breaking day, our red light signal flashed to stop the bombardment. In an instant we were out of our trenches and off dashed the first line. I was in the second, about ten yards in their rear. The last shell had scarcely exploded then, and before we had covered half the distance we met a wall of lead from machine guns, rifles and bombs. It was simply hell itself and the men of our first line dropped and dropped until by the time the trench was reached you could count the survivors on your fingers. At this time my line was about half way and had lost heavily, so we pulled ourselves together and rushed forward. I had only gone about five yards when I felt a bullet go through my hat and it knocked me out. I seemed to lie there for a terrible long time, but it could not have been many seconds. I put my hand to my head and could feel the blood running, but the bullet had just ploughed along the bone, and I soon felt alright. I could hear our chaps cheering as they charged, so I jumped up and went on again. I got within ten yards of the trench when another bullet struck me over the right eye and I again fell. At

this time there didn’t seem to be any of our chaps left. Another bullet went through my boot just nicking a piece out of my heel. I was also bleeding at the shoulder, so I left my rifle and crawled back, as we had got the order to retire. The wound in my shoulder was caused by a bit of casing. I had it taken out, but have no idea when I got it. I think I was very lucky to get out of it so easy as the bullets were thick and close enough to make things unpleasant. We lost a terrible lot of men. I do not know the exact figures, but about 10 per cent, of the 8th are all that escaped. 470 of us started, but there are only 53 left. It is hard to describe what a charge is like, such as ours, and just as hard to imagine. It was awful to see our chaps lying round. I won’t try and tell you about it as I wish to forget a lot of it myself. We struck a hail of petrol bombs which exploded all round us and burnt up everything that was near. I only hope we will have a chance of getting some of our own back before long as we have been very unlucky since we have been here. O well I am a bit tired, so must ring off, hoping all are well at home, and do not worry over my few scratches as will soon be alright. *** DANDENONG Market report: A fair yarding of all classes of cattle forward, and an improvement in prices all round. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 2 October, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom By Stuart McCullough IMAGINE this: aliens land and take you hostage. Spirited away to their spacecraft, you are then dragged to meet their leader; a vile green beast with a glistening fang and one gigantic blinking eye, and are told that you must sum up all the achievements of Western Civilization in a single word or you will either be vapourised by their laser or, worse, forced to become a contestant on Family Feud. Under these heightened circumstances, what word do you choose to try and save your skin? Something naff like ‘hope’ or stomach-churningly turgid as ‘love’? There’s no way an alien leader is going to swallow that. The answer is simple. The word that best describes all of Western Civilization is as follows: Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom. So begins and ends ‘Tutti Frutti’. For those unfamiliar with it, ‘Tutti Frutti’ is not merely a record by Richard Wayne Penniman (better known as ‘Little Richard’). It’s Christmas, all your good birthdays and that time you managed to merge onto the Kings Way off-ramp without someone threatening to careen into your back bumper, all rolled into two and half mind-blowing minutes. Forget the Vostock 1 and the Mercury-Redstone 3; ‘Tutti Frutti’ is when human kind truly left this planet. It is an achievement that remains without equal. The Renaissance and its glut of cultural polymaths like Leonardo Da Vinci and other assorted clever clogs are but dunces. Little Richard is a ge-

nius without equal. While it’s fair to say that any one individual did not invent rock and roll, Little Richard deserves a fair chunk of the credit. This was the song that changed everything. He was fond as describing himself as the architect of rock and roll, but I don’t think that’s going far enough. For me, Little Rich-

ard is not only the architect but the plumber, the electrician and the dude that puts the blinds up also. That the song exists at all is a miracle. Little Richard was born in Macon, Georgia in 1932. In many ways, his upbringing exemplifies the tension between the spirit and the flesh that underpins the very best rock and roll. His

father was a deacon at the local church who also sold bootlegged moonshine liquor and ran a nightclub. As a child, Little Richard loved to sing in the church choir, but even then his voice was extremely dominant and he had a tendency to overpower the other singers, earning him the nickname ‘War Hawk’. Leaving home at sixteen, Little Richard travelled with various touring shows and, at one point, even worked as a drag performer. He started making records in the early fifties, but no one noticed. In early 1955, he dropped in a two-song demo to Specialty Records. Early sessions failed to yield a hit. It was only after the producer, ‘Bumps’ Blackwell saw Little Richard perform at the Dew Drop Inn and heard ‘Tutti Frutti’ that things turned around. But there was a problem: the song had been improvised in performances on the chitlin’ circuit and its lyrics were risqué even by today’s standards, much less those in the mid-fifties. A songwriter, Dorothy LaBostrie, was brought in to tone down the innuendo and the song was recorded in just three takes in September before being unleashed on an unsuspecting public in November. The world would never be the same again. Oddly, Pat Boone recorded a version of Tutti Frutti a short time later and both versions were on the American charts at once, with Pat peaking at number 12, and Little Richard at 17. Little Richard later claimed that white kids preferred his version, but had the Pat Boone rendition on hand to mollify their parents.

In 1955, the charts were dominated by songs like ‘Sixteen Tons’ by Tennessee Ernie Ford and ‘Mr. Sandman’ by The Chordettes. The former was a song about coal mining; the latter was subsequently re-written and vastly improved by Metallica. Into this polite world, Little Richard arrived. From the first instant, it sounds like nothing else with an acapella introduction that is unintelligible and yet makes perfect sense. The word ‘Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom’ imitates a drum pattern. The band goes like the clappers from the get go. The whole thing is nothing short of anarchy. Music no longer needed to be pleasing to the ear or in any way sweet. Rather, it had permission to be terrifying. Songs like Tutti Frutti were regarded as a threat to society back in 1955. You can’t say that about One Direction. Or, if you can, then not for the same reasons. This year is its sixtieth anniversary. You’d think a recording that old would sound frail or tame. Polite even. But listening to it now, it still sounds immensely powerful. It makes pretty anything you might hear on the radio sound lame and half asleep – the voice all but threatens to tear through the speakers at any moment. Death metal sounds like an afternoon nap in comparison. Aliens would, of course, be either highly intimidated or deeply impressed. Either way, they’d soon let you go on your way, saying only ‘Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom’ as their farewell. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Ynot help, and have a great time too Real estate agent Tony Ladiges, has lived on the Mornington Peninsula his entire life and currently lives in Mornington with his wife Jade, daughter Grace and son Spencer. “I’ve had amazing life experiences,” said Tony. “One of my ultimate goals has always been to assist those less fortunate than myself.” To achieve this goal, Tony has taken time out of corporate life to establish ‘ynot help foundation’; an achievement he is extremely proud of.

HUNTERS & COLLECTORS RELEASE THEIR FIRST EVER ANTHOLOGY By Cameron McCullough

“The real essence of rock music,” Mark Seymour pondered at the end of 1983, “It’s just passion, it’s just really pure.” More than three decades later, that statement is a neat summation of the new Hunters & Collectors collection, which is simply titled Anthology. These 40 songs tell the tale of a remarkable 18 years, from the band’s early alternative days at St Kilda’s Crystal Ballroom – when Rolling Stone magazine dubbed them “White punks on funk” – to their years as a touring machine, playing to the suburban masses in sweaty beer barns. “We felt that if we couldn’t convey something to normal people who work nine-to-five then we might as well forget it,” Mark Seymour explained in 1985. This was an Australian band unlike any

other. Their unforgettable debut single, Talking To A Stranger, was inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s The Albatross; the timeless Throw Your Arms Around Me is the Aussie classic that was recorded three times but was never a big chart hit; The Slab is an ode to onanism; while a song about Napoleon’s chef, Holy Grail, ended up becoming a footy anthem. Mushroom Records started a new subsidiary, the White Label, to sign Hunters & Collectors. The band demanded artistic control. Mushroom boss Michael Gudinski famously likened dealing with them to dealing with the Communist Party. This is a story of egalitarianism. The collaborative energy of a rumbling rhythm section and the blistering Horns of Contempt, with songs that captured the brutal beauty of the Australian landscape. “We’ve always aimed to sound Australian,” Mark Seymour noted in 1986. Drummer

Doug Falconer called it “The Great Aussie Tug”, referring to the roaring backbeat necessary in a pub environment. For a generation of punters, these songs provided the soundtrack to their gig-going years. A Hunters & Collectors gig was a tribal experience. Paul Kelly remembers seeing the band in the 80s, when they were “gathering an army”. “Their audience was mainly young men, hungry for devotion,” Paul observed in his memoir. “Hunnas had a big, fat industrial bass sound, an anthemic horn section, and their singlet-clad singer, as fit as a trout, held nothing back.” At the start of the 90s, asked how he would like to be remembered, Mark Seymour responded: “I suppose if there is one thing that I’d like to be remembered for artistically, it’s getting all those people singing, ‘You don’t make me feel like I’m a woman any more.’”

Hunters & Collectors were Australia’s last great pub rock band. “They defined new parameters for Australian music,” critic Toby Creswell wrote when he was editor of Rolling Stone. “And Mark Seymour’s lyrics captured the Australian experience in a way no other writer has.” Anthology – culled from the band’s nine albums – follows the Hunnas’ live reformation, which coincided with the charttopping tribute album, Crucible, and saw the band perform at the AFL Grand Final and do shows with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and The Rolling Stones. The tour won the 2014 Helpmann Award for Best Australian Contemporary Concert, but the band is adamant there will be no new Hunters & Collectors albums. This is it. And Anthology shows why Hunters & Collectors mattered – and why they still do.

Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative or “wear and tear” arthritis, is a common problem for many people after they reach middle age. Over the years, the smooth, gliding surface covering the ends of bones (cartilage) becomes worn and frayed. This results in inflammation, swelling, and pain in the joint. Osteoarthritis progresses slowly and the pain and stiffness it causes worsens over time. Rheumatoid Arthritis Unlike osteoarthritis, which follows a predictable pattern in certain joints, rheumatoid arthritis is a system-wide disease. It is an inflammatory disease where the patient’s own immune system attacks and destroys cartilage. Post-Traumatic Arthritis Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after an injury. This type of arthritis is similar to osteoarthritis and may develop years after a fracture, severe sprain, or ligament injury. Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are many treatment options available to assist with pain and maintain mobility so you can stay active and live a fulfilling life, reducing the need

for ongoing medications or surgery. It’s important to seek help early so that treatment can begin as soon as possible but also important is getting a correct diagnosis and addressing aggravating factors so the most appropriate treatment can be provided. The good news is expert help is just around the corner. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal Podiatry practices specifically focuses on assisting pain, injury and degenerative issues, including arthritis. With enormous success assisting many living on the peninsula, for over 7 years, they utilize the very latest medical science and treatments to help patients avoid surgery and get active again.

Foot health and ageing As our feet grow older, they naturally develop more problems. But painful and uncomfortable feet are not a natural part of growing old, or something to put up with. At Foot Street Podiatry the foot pain relief clinic we can improve comfort, relieve pain and keep you on your feet for life. Mirrors of health The condition of our feet often provides early indications of conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, and circulatory disease. For this reason, the human foot is sometimes called the ‘mirror of health’.

There are more than 300 different foot conditions. Some are inherited, but for older people, most stem from the impact of years of use. However, even among people in their retirement years, many foot problems can be treated successfully, and the pain of foot conditions relieved. Older people should have their feet measured for shoe sizes more frequently, rather than presuming that their shoe sizes remain constant.

YMCA Victoria believes that everybody, regardless of their age, has the right to be healthier, happier and more connected to their community, which is why they believe that you are never too old to come on camp. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be misled by the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Campâ&#x20AC;?. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sleeping in tents.

Your camp experience will become an unforgettable retreat, leaving you feeling refreshed and reenergised.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creating an inclusive environment at camp was very important; we wanted a place where everyone, of all ages and abilities, is able to participate in adventure activities.â&#x20AC;?

Ultimate prize: Frankston YCW capped off a fantastic season by seeing off Mornington 18.15 (123) to 5.6 (36) in Sunday’s Peninsula League Grand Final. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

Stonecats are Premiers PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW capped off a wonderful season by winning the Peninsula League premiership by a whopping 87 points over Mornington on Sunday. The Stonecats have been by far the best side in the competition this season, having had a 77-point average winning margin this season. On Sunday at the Kars St Oval, the Stonecats dominated to win 18.15 (123) to 5.6 (36). Frankston YCW’s previous two encounters against Mornington saw them win by 10 goals and almost 15 goals. On Sunday, it was much of the same. The Stonecats were prepared, disciplined, clinical and professional, a trademark that has been with this clubs since the years of Josh Kendall, Paul Theobald, Joey Lane and Mark Berenger.

It graduated through the ‘Bugsy’ Barry years and is now front and centre in the current coach Scott Mathers. Mathers worked his way through the Under 18’s, like Buggsy, and has now coached back-to-back flags. Mathers has ensured that this group stays hungry and professional. When the final siren sounded on Sunday, players swarmed to tough midfielder Luke Collins, who was under a pack all day clearing the ball out to runners. Collins had lost his father the night before the game – the passion for a teammate was testament to the YCW Football Club. From the first bounce, there was a commitment to the cause from the Stonecats – they were first to the footy, relentless in their pressure and disciplined to their structures. While Mornington was able to withstand the pressure in the first quarter, they just couldn’t maintain it.

The juggernaut put them to the sword in the second quarter and the game was over at half time, 11.9 (75) to 1.2 (8). The Stonecats won the clearances, 33 to 29, such was the battle between Ash Eames and Michael Gay. Eames won the duel. The Stonecats dominated the inside 50s, 55 to 38. Mornington’s entries were more a kick and hope arrangement. Tony Lester was judged the RPP Best on Ground, voted by former Langwarrin premiership coach Gavin Artico, Jason Chapple, yours truly and Michael Voss. Jack Mazurek was given the VCFL medal for best on ground – he was super also. The Stonecats were superb. League medal winner Kyle Hutchison booted four goals, along with Lew Roberts. Jesse Coghlan was superb on Jack-

son Calder, Kevin Lylak, Byron Barry and Anthony Barry dominated in the back half. Ryan Santon and Brenton Credlin are two of the most outstanding youngsters in the competition and they were superb in the Grand Final. Scott McLeod was brilliant when the game needed to be won in the first half with 12 possessions in the opening hour and Jai Coghlan was one of the best five players on the ground. Talk about leadership, Coghlan had it in spades. Ben Tellis is a star. If you’re contemplating retirement legend, forget about it. He kicked two goals and had more than 15 possessions. David Bodley (two goals), Paul Minchington (two goals), Brad Ulms and Anthony Bruhn (one goal) all looked dangerous when the ball went inside. Daniel Waddell, despite all the years he has been at YCW (with a Dromana flag in between), finally won his first

senior flag with the Stonecats. Knee injuries cost him in the past. Craig Nankervis was simply brilliant. His work rate, along with Collingwood VFL player and local boy Lachy Wallace (23 possessions), were instrumental in the win. It was a tough day for the Dogs. Danny and Dale Nolan could hold their heads high after the game, along with Adam Symes, who is as tough as a cat’s head. Jai Haddock was tireless, tough and relentless and Ryan O’Dell was superb. The Dogs can build their club around these two blokes. The season belonged to the Frankston YCW. They were a pleasure to watch, on every occasion. Congratulations needs to go to club president Gerry Wintle and his team – what a well-run, professional club that just oozes success. Well done, Frankston YCW Football Club.

Bulls land ‘three-timer’ Poholke FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt KARINGAL Football Club has landed the biggest blow in off-season recruiting, landing three-time Sorrento premiership forward Leigh Poholke. Yours truly broke the exclusive story on the RPP Footy Show and Toe Punt Facebook Page on Saturday morning. The 2014 Nepean League MVP and Team of the Year player has gone to the Bulls to “personally challenge” himself. Poholke said he had been fortunate in his career to be at a “great club” and one that has enjoyed a lot of success. However, Poholke said it was time for a change. “I want to challenge myself. I think that I can bring the experience I have gained from being in a successful club and help out the Karingal Football Club. “I have always heard great things about Karingal and people I spoke to before I made my decision were very positive about the way the club is managed. “For me, I’m young, the club has a great group of kids coming through and there’s plenty of irons in the fire for further recruits.” Poholke conceded that he had been offered a lot of money to coach in the Alberton League, reportedly $30,000 a year but wanted to stay closer to home to run his personal landscape gardening business.

Fevola to play at Bombers Former Carlton and Brisbane Lions full forward Brendan Fevola will line up

for Frankston Bombers in Round 1 next season. The Bombers will tackle Pearcedale in the opening round of the Nepean League 2016 season, on Good Friday. In further exciting news, Bombers are expected to confirm this week that the game will be played at the home of Frankston Dolphins at Kars St. Coach Beau Muston said it was an exciting get for the club. “We’ve been working pretty hard in the past 12 months to change the perceptions of the club,” Muston said. “This means that we need to start doing things a bit differently and become more relevant in the competition. “Having Brendan for one game is an investment but we’re sure that on Good Friday, there’ll be plenty of people who want to come to Kars St to watch the opening round and ‘Fev’ running around.

Jewell not signed Despite rumours to the contrary since round six of the Nepean League season, Rosebud premiership coach Nick Jewell said there was nothing to ‘officially’ announce at Sorrento. “I know what the rumours are but there is nothing official at this stage,” Jewell said. However, Nick was informed by Leigh Poholke on Thursday night that he wasn’t playing football at Sorrento next season. “I was at cricket training and when I came out there were three missed calls from Leigh. At that stage I thought to myself, this can’t be good news,” Nick said.

If Jewell hadn’t signed at Sorrento, one wonders why it would be bad news that Poholke has signed at Sorrento. In further news from Nick, he said there was no truth to the rumour that Leigh Treeby was in the running for the Rosebud job.

Stratton unhappy New Crib Point coach Taylor Stratton was unhappy to read the paper last week, claiming he had been recruiting teammates as far back as Round 15 to join him at Crib Point. “I wasn’t even coach of Crib Point in Round 15 – so I’m not sure where that came from,” Stratton said. “If players want to join me at Crib, then fantastic, however, it’s not my intention to go through every player on the Hastings list and try and get them across. “My brother Kain will join me but at this stage I think that will be it. If we can get everyone on the track at the start of pre-season training, I have no doubt we’ll be right up there again next season.

Hamish to Pines Pines are hopeful that they can land former North Melbourne and Geelong ruckman Hamish McIntosh. The stumbling block at present appears to be the asking price, however, it is believed that he is very interested in joining his former teammate Aaron Edwards at the club.
