GIFT GUIDE 2015
Joy to Mornington, the carollers sing! IT’S a very Merry Christmas in Mornington this year as Christmas decorations go up, shops put out their best displays and of course the annual Mornington Carols in the Park, this year proudly presented by Tony Ladiges from Eview Mornington Peninsula, takes place drawing thousands to the Mornington Park. On Saturday 12th December come and enjoy a fun filled day of activity. Festivities kick off from 8am with the Farmers Market in Mornington Park, where you’ll find plenty of fresh local produce and gourmet delights to fill your Christmas hampers with. Christmas in Mornington truly is a family event. From 11am Main Street Mornington will have pop up kids entertainment, Christmas buskers, letter writing to Santa and a colouring competition which gives each entrant the chance to WIN some great prizes from Mornington retailers. To top of your day, take a stroll down the Main Street to the Mornington Park where the Carols in the Park commence from 6pm. There are no Silent Nights here, it will be Jingle Bells all the way, as very special guest Silvie Paladino takes to the stage for what will be a breathtaking performance of some of her Christmas favourites. And of course, you better watch out because no Christmas celebration is complete without a visit from the big man himself, Santa Claus, arriving in his very own ‘vintage sleigh’. Mornington Carols in the Park is a fun free event the whole family can enjoy. Bring your own blanket and picnic, pull up a patch of grass and enjoy a great evening out under the stars with the Mornington community. Make sure you leave the champagne at home as this is an alcohol free event. For more information visit www.mainstreetmornington.com. au or contact Mornington Chamber of Commerce on 5975 4522.

Paladino to perform at peninsula carols
PENINSULA residents are to be envied for the third year in a row, as Ms Silvie Paladino marks the headline act for New Peninsula’s free Christmas Carols Event this December. Ms Paladino (pictured left) is regarded as having one of the best female voices in Australia. Her unparalleled theatrical success includes Les Miserables, Cats, Miss Saigon, Mamma Mia and The King and I, and is also well known to Australian audiences through her regular appearances on Carols by Candlelight. Ms Paladino said she is again looking forward to visiting the peninsula for the concert. “The peninsula is such a beautiful place, especially at Christmas time. It’s great to be a part of such a unique production; so much love is put into it each year and there’s always something for everyone.” Peninsula residents can hear Silvie Paladino and a host of other peninsula talent, for one night only, at New Peninsula Baptist Church. This is a free event for the whole family, on Sunday 13th December; for two shows- 3pm and 6pm at New Peninsula Baptist Church, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

Mayor backs climate plan at Paris talks MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire mayor Graham Pittock and his council colleague Hugh Fraser have backed Australia’s stand at the Paris climate talks. Mingling with world leaders at the United Nations climate change conference (COP 21), the two councillors have “thrown their support behind� a strategy outlined to the conference by Environment Minister and Flinders MP, Greg Hunt. Cr Pittock said the National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy was “invaluable� to local government and, in particular, to the shire which has 10 per cent of Victoria’s coastline. The shire is one of 10 Australian municipalities invited to send representatives to the talks and Cr Pittock (away for 10 days) and Cr Fraser (14 days) have each said they will make up the difference if the costs of sending them to Paris exceeds their annual $4000 allowance. The cost of sending the two councillors has been put at $12,000. The aim of the conference is to agree on a new global climate change agreement to keep global warming below 2°C. A news release issued by the shire on Friday said Australia’s strategy as announced by Mr Hunt “articulates how the country is managing the risks of a variable and changing climate�. It describes the strategy as affirming “a set of principles to guide effec-
tive adaptation practice and resilience building, looks at leading practice nationally, and considers areas for future review, consultation and action�. The shire’s communications and media manager Mark Kestigian said the description of the strategy was supplied by Mr Hunt’s office. Cr Pittock and Cr Fraser were given the green light to attend the Paris talks at the 23 November. An invite to the talks is seen as a reward for the shire having a pro-active stance on climate change. “This strategy will be invaluable to local government as a readily available common source of information, of particular importance to the Mornington Peninsula Shire with 10 per cent of Victoria’s coastline,� Cr Pittock stated in the shire’s news release which also said he had been speaking with “the international media in attendance�. “The strategy points out that councils are affected in varying degrees by the decisions of governments and each other. In coastal zones, in particular, decisions by private individuals can have significant and long term impacts on public goods. “In this I need only refer to the decision of the Victorian government to lease the Port of Melbourne, together with the right of the lessee to maintain the shipping channels in Port Phillip Bay and in Bass Strait. “The potential risks of the impact of this decision on the future Port of Hastings, the health of Port Phillip Bay and our precious beaches will be substantial.�

Award for lifesaving roadside bravery Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MT MARTHA woman who came to the aid of a fellow motorcyclist seriously injured in a collision was honoured for her bravery at Parliament House last week. The rider lost his leg, but Pamela Boyle’s actions in stemming his blood loss – using her husband’s belt as a tourniquet – almost certainly saved his life. She was among 13 Victorians to receive awards out of 155 nominations. Ambulance Services minister Jill Hennessy presented them with Community Hero medals and certificates in the ceremony which was also attended by the patients they helped in their time of need. Ms Boyle was riding with her husband and friends in a regular motorbike group near Alexandra in April last year when one, riding ahead, failed to take a bend, crashed into a tree and was flung over an electric fence into a paddock. “We learned from one of the others in the party that he had lost his leg,” she recalled last week. “My husband ran over and was taking his shirt off to assist but I saw his belt and realised it would be of better use. “We were getting zapped by the wires but I managed to crawl through the fence with the belt and we took off his leather gear off. It was all a bit gruesome. “He was conscious all the way through; I looked after his lower body while my husband talked to him all
Heros honoured: Pamela Boyle, left, at the bravey awards with Cameron Walker, Ambulance Services minister Jill Hennessy, call taker Hilary Gregson, paramedic Adam Pepper and Acting Ambulance Victoria CEO Tony Walker.
through it. It was very traumatic.” Ms Boyle said she next met the injured rider in rehabilitation “and was amazed when I saw what the surgeons had been able to do”. Then, seeing him for only the second time since the accident at the awards ceremony, she realised the value of her actions: “To see what we
did and that he was still able to be around for his family as a husband and a father, made me very proud.” Ms Boyle was nominated by Advanced Life Support Paramedic, Heather Munro. Ambulance Victoria Acting CEO Tony Walker said the injured rider had returned to work and his wife and two
children were “incredibly grateful” to Ms Boyle for her lifesaving actions. “A medical emergency can occur anywhere and often when we least expect it. How we react to that emergency can depend on our willingness to step beyond our own fear and place our own comfort and safety at risk to reach out and help another human
being in distress. “Each of the Community Heroes we celebrate here today, aged from as young as five, have done just that. These everyday Victorians have stepped in to help a friend, family member or stranger in a time of great need. Their actions are clearly heroic.”

WILDLIFE authorities are on the lookout for the person who harpooned a seal found wounded at Chinaman’s Hat, a resting platform in Port Phillip between Sorrento and Queenscliff. The harpoon was still lodged in the seal’s back and a second wound near its shoulder blades indicated it had been hit twice. The badly bleeding seal was first spotted at about 10am on Saturday 28 November by Troy Muir while conducting a tour with his family company Polperro Dolphin Swims. David Donnelly, a marine wildlife consultant with the Dolphin Research Institute was first on the scene and called in Melbourne Zoo’s marine rescue unit and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). The injured seal was sedated with a dart and taken to the Zoo for treatment. "Rescuers found the harpoon firmly embedded in the seal, with approximately two feet of gaff handle left protruding from the wound," DELWP wildlife officer Samantha Moore said. "The seal had been stabbed twice resulting in trauma across its shoulder blades." Ms Moore said the harpoon was being analysed and would be kept “as evidence”. "The Department and the general public do not tolerate deliberate harm or cruelty towards wildlife," she said. "Seals are protected animals and

Fun day – for all abilities MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s first All Abilities Come and Try Sports Day, Wednesday, at Civic Reserve Recreation Centre, Mornington, was a big success. People with disabilities, carers, families and friends attended the free event to celebrate International Day of People with a Disability. It aimed to make the most of the facilities at the leisure centre as well as feature a range of accessible activities. “The shire acknowledges the tremendous support of local sports clubs and associations, disability groups and the community,” said Cr Antonella Celi, who is the council’s representa-

tive on the All Abilities Consultative Committee. The theme of the day was: ‘Inclusion matters: access and empowerment for people of all abilities’. Supporters included Cricket Victoria, Focus, Karingal, SCOPE, Special Olympics Victoria, MYC Gymnastics, Elite Tennis Academy and the Mornington Peninsula Table Tennis Association. “We are very proud to bring this event to our community,” Cr Celi said. “One-in-five people have a disability in Australia, which equates to more than 30,000 people on the Mornington Peninsula living with some form of
disability. If you include mental illness, this figure goes even higher. “The shire is dedicated to promoting community awareness of disability access and equity issues. This event celebrates people of all abilities, and offers an opportunity for people with a disability and their carers to participate in a range of different sports and enjoy a great day out,” said Cr Celi. The day featured tennis, gymnastics, soccer, netball, football, cricket, yoga, Pilates, table tennis, SWISH (blind table tennis). A mini expo offered information about other disability recreation groups.
Taking steps to help get family moving Melissa Walsh melissah@mpnews.com.au MAYGAN Garland is 19. She has just completed year 12 and loves fashion and writing. However, unlike many others her age Maygan has always faced challenges. “It was the happiest day of my life when I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She grew and did all the things you would expect and people would stop me in the street to tell me what a beautiful baby she was,” Maygan’s mother Fiona Garland says. “One night she got sick and my baby girl’s whole life changed. By morning, Maygan was in an induced coma fighting for her life. “She was six months old and had contracted meningococcal septicaemia. It was the third worst case they had seen and they didn’t think Maygan would survive.” Maygan did survive, but lost her right leg and had a bleed to the brain, leaving her with a condition called Dystonia. “I know that one day I will lose her but, right now, Maygs is the happiest, smartest and most lovely person I have met and I have had the most precious gift given to me,” Ms Garland says. A full time disability support worker, Ms Garland cares for Maygan and her younger brother Ethan, 16, at their Mornington home but is struggling to get around since their car broke down and cannot be fixed. When Glenn Browne heard the story, he decided something needed

to be done. On Sunday December 13 he plans to take 1000 steps to launch a fundraising effort to buy the Garland’s a wheelchair compatible car. “I have known Fiona for a couple of years and when she told me about her car I knew I just had to help,” Mr Browne said. “I started the fundraising campaign five weeks ago and am raising money for the first part, which is doing the 1000 steps walk in
Ferntree Gully on Sunday at 10.30am. The response has been great. We have raised over $1000 but to get a car that is fitted with wheelchair provision is going to take a lot more than that.” Not one to look for handouts, Ms Garland has been completely blown away by the generosity of Mr Browne and others who are donating to the cause. “I cannot believe that people would do this for us and cannot thank

everyone enough,” she says. “It has been really tough without a car and we can’t afford to buy one ourselves. “At the moment we wait for taxis but they have to be wheelchair taxis and often don’t even show up, which means Maygan is missing hospital appointments as well as fun things like shopping to look for a graduation dress.” The family needs a people mover
that can be converted for wheelchair access, which in itself costs $27,000. “I really believe the community can get behind us to raise the money for them, and hope that a car yard might even donate a car to them.

Photographic salute to veterans
Anzac spirit: Rye RSL veterans Jack Lever (Army), Ken Gibson (Army), Stan Price (RAN), Les Butler (Army), Len Rowler (RAN) and Ray Ruby (Army) take their places for a photographic tribute.
Words and picture: Barry Irving THIRTY-THREE Mornington Peninsula war veterans gathered at Rye RSL on Saturday to take part in a photographic record of surviving World War II veterans. The event recognised 100 years of
the ANZAC spirit. Hundreds of veterans had their portraits taken by volunteer photographers on the day which was organised by the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers. The veterans were given copies of
their portrait. The portraits will be presented to the RSL and the Australian War Museum where they will be exhibited as part of a remembrance work to honour the service that this generation has given to Australians of all ages and backgrounds.
Art opening with all that jazz
NEXT year’s The News Mornington Art Show will open with the atmosphere of a “razzle dazzle party”. The jazz will be played by the Balnarring Bakery group, gourmet food and refreshments will be served throughout the night and more than 800 paintings will be available for sale. John Renowden of Mornington Rotary Club said the paintings covered all media and were priced from “a couple of hundred dollars to several thousand dollars”. The show opens 7pm Thursday 21 January. “The quality of artwork already entered is very high,” Mr Renowden said. “Entries range from traditional landscapes, seascapes and still life to contemporary modern art styles as well a few funky pop art pieces.” Mr Renowden said several hundred more hundred entries would arrive by the close on 18 December. “On opening night there will be a display of beautiful rustic furniture and platters made from recycled wine barrels. They will be available for
purchase and are great for outdoor settings.” Mr Renowden said the show had two “exceptional feature artists” who would each exhibit about 10 works. “Jayne Henderson features serene seascapes around the Mornington Peninsula and wildlife artist Eric Shepherd will have several Australian bird studies and big cats on display,” he said. “Buyers will have to be quick to purchase these pieces as they are usually most popular.” Art show judge pastel artist Lyn Mellady would also have “a few pieces” of her art for sale. “A new addition for this art show will be the opportunity to buy some high quality donated goods in a silent auction. Participants simply write a bid on the sheets below the items they are interested in and, if their bid is the highest at the end of the show, they win the goods.” The 44th annual Mornington Art show will run for six days, Thursday 21 January-Tuesday 26 January at the Mornington Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington.

A BUSINESS case for expanding the Port of Hastings should include compensation for the owners of property affected by dredging in the bay. Experts estimate 24 million cubic metres of spoil will be dredged from alongside wharfs and in shipping channels, severely affecting Western Port’s marine environment and increasing coastal erosion. The call to establish a compensation fund followed a submission by the Preserve Western Port Action Group (PWPAG) to a select committee hearing into the state government’s proposed leasing of the Port of Melbourne. Funding for the government’s plan to reduce the number of rail level crossings is expected to come from the 50-year lease, which effectively rules out development of a container port at Hastings. PWPAG chairman Jeff Nottle said any business case for expanding the port at Hastings “needs to include all the costs that impact on the region”. These impacts included “increased erosion and sediment flows arising from the dredging in a very high tidal flow environment” and the acceleration of erosion “particularly in the north of the bay and on the north shore of Phillip Island”. Mr Nottle said the Shire of Bass had recognised the “just how much of Western Port is at risk of inundation or erosion - and in some cases both - by climate change induced storm surges and sea level rises” by endorsing a

planning scheme amendment on Land Subject to Inundation Overlays (C82). Mr Nottle said the dredging would make things worse than what was being predicted. Estimates of the dredging required for an expanded port came from Victoria University’s supply chain institute while effects on the ecology and erosion came from “one of Australia’s leading geomorphologists Associate Professor David Kennedy of the University of Melbourne”, who had considered the Victoria University findings and the Western Port Local Coastal Hazard Assessment reports. Mr Nottle quoted Prof Kennedy as saying “the proposed development is almost certain to have major environmental impacts on the marine and coastal environment of Western Port”. He said Prof Kennedy had stated that “the potential impacts could be more widespread” due top “a general lack of knowledge of sediment transport path-
ways within the bay”. “This independent specialist analysis brings into focus the potential damage to Western Port properties and coastal foreshores and beaches that will arise from the dredging associated with the construction of a container port at Hastings,” Mr Nottle said. “The erosion and inundation caused will not be gradual and imperceptible, it will be obvious as the Western Port Local Coastal Hazard Assessment reports give us a baseline for erosion and inundation without the dredging for the port. “We believe all proponents for the construction of a container port at Hastings should support the establishment of a Western Port erosion and compensation fund as part of a business case for Hastings. “The fund could then be accessed by affected property holders and coastal land managers to restore the coast or to provide compensation.”

Stop and smell the roses: Garden designer Barry Johnson at the award presentation with World Federation of Rose Societies vicepresident Paul Hains, volunteer Jill Hardy, World Federation of Rose Societies president Kelvin Trimper, Cr Anne Shaw and deputy mayor Bev Colomb. Picture: Yanni
Rose gardens’ reputation goes international THE flowers were well and truly blooming and gardeners smiling at Mornington’s Botanical Rose Gardens when receiving an international award on Thursday 12 November. The World Federation of Rose Societies’ Award of Garden Excellence recognises exceptional standard of the rose gardens from a historical, educational and visual point of view. Mornington’s award is just the third presented in Australia since the awards began in 1995 and places Mornington among 60 rose gardens world to receive it in the world.
At the presentation, World Federation of Rose Societies president Kelvin Trimper predicted the Mornington gardens would see a rise in the number of visitors from within Australia and around the world. Gardens volunteer coordinator Graeme Dent said he drove Mr Trimper, and vice-president Australasia, Paul Hains to the airport afterwards and “by the time we got there, photographs and text had been sent around the world to millions of viewers”. “This translates into money spent by visitors on the Mornington Peninsula
on food, accommodation and visiting other tourist attractions. So, Mornington is certainly on the map for tourists,” Mr Dent said. About 4000 roses grow at the gardens with help from Navy personnel from HMAS Cerberus. The award presentation, in the Don Gordon Room, follows the June announcement by the World Federation of Rose Societies in Lyon, France. The gardens were officially opened in 2008 by gardening personality Jane Edmanson and are designed to depict a yacht with billowing spinnaker.
BEACHGOERS and boaters are being warned to take care around water in the summer months ahead. The 2014-15 Drowning Report released last week by the state government highlighted some disturbing trends. Overall the number of drowning deaths fell to 39 compared to 47 in 201314 and 35 men died with alcohol and risky behaviour contributing factors in several deaths. Nine deaths were boating related drownings. Most drownings occurred off coastal areas (49 per cent) compared to inland waterways (31 per cent). Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett said “the loss of a loved one through drowning is a tragedy”. “Thousands of people enjoy Victoria’s waterways every year and we want people to take care and look out for each other this summer,” she said. Four children, aged under four, died from drowning, and there were at least another 20 near drownings. Most of these drownings occurred around the home – in bathtubs, spas and private swimming pools. “Always supervise children around water and make sure home pools are properly fenced. Everyone can play a role in ensuring our kids are safe around the water,” Ms Garrett said. Summer lifesaving patrols are starting across Frankston beaches again but this does not mean beachgoers can become complacent while swimming offshore. Life Saving Victoria operations manager Greg Scott said people should swim
between the red and yellow flags wherever possible. “If our lifesavers can’t see you, they can’t save you” Mr Scott said. “While we encourage people to get outdoors and enjoy our coast, it’s so important that people realise just how dangerous beaches can be – even on those days of ‘perfect’ beach weather.” “Rip currents can occur at all beaches, even in the bays. They are extremely dangerous and difficult to spot.” A man drowned after being swept away off Frankston pier late last month and another four swimmers were rescued. Life Saving Victoria advises beachgoers to check the weather conditions including tides and swells and be aware of any forecasted changes. Safety signs highlighting local hazards should always be read before entering the water.
Orcas in the bay A POD of orcas, or killer whales, was spotted cruising close to shore between Safety Beach and Mornington on Friday. There were at least three orcas in the pod which Dolphin Research Institute researchers say has previously visited Port Phillip. David Donnelly, a marine wildlife consultant, said a female with a shortened fin (probably resulting from being hit by a ship’s propeller) was in the DRI’s catalogue. He said the orcas fed on sharks, fish, seals and dolphins.

Gunman surrenders after eight-hour siege Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A SIEGE at a Rye cafe ended on Saturday afternoon with the surrender of a 69-year-old who had allegedly held two women hostage for almost eight hours. Police said the two women were released through the front door at about 3.20pm, followed shortly after by their alleged captor. The man, allegedly armed with two low calibre handguns, was later charged by police and remanded to appear in Frankston Court on Monday, charged with two counts of unlawful imprisonment and firearm offences. Police said the outcome, achieved without any injuries, showed the value of patience and negotiation in hostage situations. “The successful result of the women being released uninjured was achieved through patience by the police and locals that allowed them to do their job,” local police commander Inspector Karen Nyholm said. Inspector Nyholm, describing the siege as a “volatile situation,” issued an open letter thanking the public for “their understanding and support of our need to keep the area shut down at what should have been a busy Saturday morning for local traders, residents and visitors.” The drama began at about 7.45am, when a man was reportedly seen entering The Little Beach Cafe on Point Nepean Rd. The first police on the scene called for back up and at the height of the resulting siege about 80 officers, including heavily armed members of the special operations group, were stationed outside the cafe. At least one shot is alleged to have been fired into the ceiling of cafe during the stand-off. Point Nepean Rd was cordoned off between Weeroona and Weir streets and all nearby shops evacuated, including those at the Safeway shopping complex. At one stage police allowed the owner of a nearby cafe back into the cordoned off area to turn off his kitchen stoves. It is understood the 45-year-old who is the proprietor of the cafe and a female employee, 32, were held by the man who is reported to be the owner’s former partner. Owners of nearby businesses reported that in the past few months there had been frequent arguments between a man and a woman outside the cafe. Police said the siege was related to a dispute about business and a relationship. One man told police he had been assaulted and his car attacked by another man when he parked outside the cafe just before the siege began.

Hot topic: CFA Youth Brigade Program graduates demonstrate their firefighting prowess. Picture: Yanni
Firefighting on the curriculum FIREFIGHTING in all its forms was the topic at Mornington Secondary College this year with 14 students graduating, Friday. They received their CFA Youth Brigade Program certificates from Regional Commander David Sherry. The practical subjects were devised and taught by Mornington fire brigade members and volunteers as curriculum-based subjects over two sessions per week, under the guidance of Mornington fire fighter Gary Bryant. Brigade officer-in-charge Arthur Haynes said the graduation ceremony at the school was “a good day”. He said in the sessions the year 8 students
learned the skills and practices of fire science, fighting bushfires and their effect on communities, how to extinguish a fire, team work when fighting fires, how to use a radio, and navigation. Highlights were excursions to Eastern Hill – the state’s premier fire-fighting station, still with its old-fashioned fireman’s pole – and Dandenong fire station. The school initiative was previously linked to the Victoria Police youth corps, but shifted to the fire brigade this year. “Today was the culmination of the year’s training and the students were proud to receive their certificates,” Officer Haynes said. “The parents tell us that what they learned was

magnificent. “They’re beginning to put in fire plans at home, and their interest could lead to them joining the volunteer ranks or even becoming professional fire fighters.” Acting principal Jim Papas said an exercise where the students fought a simulated gas cylinder fire brought home to him the effectiveness of the course. “They worked as a team to approach the danger, all bunched up with hands on each other’s shoulders, and projecting a sense of unity,” he said. “It highlighted the high level of learning that they had achieved and showed the course was definitely worthwhile.”

It deals with some very significant health issues and challenges a number of entrenched views about the role of fat and sugar in the western diet,” he said. “It assesses the impact of these not only on obesity but, more importantly, on diabetes, early onset Alzheimer's and even cancer.” U3A course coordinator Eileen Wilson: “The views John puts forward are supported by a growing body of evidence and he has done extensive research. The bonus is that people are also losing weight, which is probably what attracted them to the course in the first place.” Following the final session for the year last week, class members said it not only provided extensive background knowledge on the topic but also on the “how to” of maintaining a diet that promoted overall health. A class member with a professional health background, Helen Gordon: “I was impressed with so much information that was evidence-based and John’s practical examples reinforced key messages and, importantly, the how to, such as buying the right foods. “The whole course had a positive

approach with no excess pressure to comply. It made dieting feasible and reachable.” Another class member, Bill Simms: “I have been using this diet over the past two years without achieving its full potential. This course has given me a better understanding and, being with lots of other people, has been
reassuring and motivating. I have now lost four kilograms.” The course will again be held at U3A Mornington next year. Enrol in a wide range of courses at U3A online or on campus, from 9am, at 5-17 Currawong St, Mornington, or visit u3amornington.com.au or call 5975 9773 or 5975 2285.
THE pets were oh, so friendly at the Peninsula Pet Expo at the Village Green, Rosebud last week – just ask dog rescuer Kim Payne, who got more than a mouthful from this cuddly fellow. The expo was a hive of activity with animals of all shapes and sizes, including miniature ponies, dogs, rats and cats, marsupials, birds from parrots to eagles, pythons, lizards and crocodiles and local snake varieties tigers and copper heads, both species found on the peninsula. Two birds of prey included the
barking owl and Twitch the peregrine falcon – a breed clocked flying at 389kph making it the fastest animal in the world. Visitors watched the cow milking, horse grooming, sheep herding and shearing, dog training and horsemanship demonstrations. There was a miniature pony show and specialty breeds cat show. A highlight for the children included free face painting and roving performers, including Shaun the Sheep and Mr Peabody & Sherman. Picture: Yanni

NEWS DESK Board assembled for train station project A BOARD will be established to oversee the Frankston Station Precinct Redevelopment. Construction on the $63 million state government project will begin in the first half of next year and is due to be completed in 2019. The board will be chaired by Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke and will include Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley, Frankston Business Network executive officer Karin Hann, Victoria Police superintendent Glen Weir, Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams, Monash University vice-chancellor Professor Leon Piterman, Chisholm Institute CEO Maria Peters, South East Water managing director Kevin Hutchings and Bayside Shopping Centre manager Gabe North. The government says the new board will provide local leadership and will work with residents and businesses to ensure the redevelopment meets the needs of the community and train passengers and visitors to Frankston. The board will be supported by government officials, including transport planning, operations and infrastructure experts from the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources and Public Transport Victoria. The station redevelopment aims to transform the heart of Frankston into a safe, modern hub for transport, TAFE and shopping, with a permanent police presence, new retail and cafe strip and a commercial hub for businesses. The redevelopment of Young St, in partnership with Frankston Council, is due to begin first. In addition to this $63 million Frankston Station Precinct Redevelopment, the Labor state government will invest $46.9 million to deliver stage one of improvements to Chisholm TAFE’s Frankston campus.
In the swim: Tammy Van Wisse, centre, and Minimbah pupils cheer along their teams during the Wellwisher swimathon.
Digging deep for Ethiopian water supply WE take for granted that water will flow from the tap when it’s turned on. It’s a welcome blessing in a first world country. But that luxury is unknown to impoverished villagers in Ethiopia, leading to a daily chore for women and girls who must fetch water for their families from the nearest well. The task can be dangerous and exhausting as the wells can be far from the safety of home. The time taken means girls are often forced to neglect their schooling and leading to them missing opportunities open only to those with an education.
Health is also a concern, with consumption of polluted water causing the deaths of one in five children. A swimathon by pupils of Woodleigh School’s Minimbah campus last year was one of many events held to raise money for wells in the African country. The idea was put to deputy principal Rod Davies by parent Ross Woodward, of Mt Eliza, who was inspired by the efforts of the Australian trust, WellWishers. Mr Woodward also knew champion swimmer Tammy Van Wisse, who was to become an enthusiastic participant in the
fundraising. The pupils swam laps against Van Wisse, helping raise almost $8000. Mr Woodward said the money is being spent on building two wells in rural villages in Tigray Province. He says the wells will provide water for hundreds of people, helping ease the daily grind on women and girls and ensuring their schooling becomes a viable option. Mr Woodward said WellWishers has arranged to place signs on the wells bearing the names of pupils whose efforts made them possible. Steve Taylor

Panic when bus misses child drop-off Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A ROSEBUD mother “went into panic mode� on 11 November when she feared her autistic son had been left on the school bus unattended – again. Belinda Hunt, whose son, Kaileb, 9, attends Peninsula Specialist College, Dromana and was being picked up and dropped off by a private school bus each day, says she now does the job herself. In March, he was “missed� by the driver of the Westernport Road Lines at school drop-off and spent either 50 minutes or several hours – depending on who’s asked – alone at the back of the bus parked at the depot. “I assumed he was at school,� Mrs Hunt said of that episode. “But they had no idea where he was. I was running around screaming for a few hours until we were notified.� Mrs Hunt said her son, in shock and unable to attract attention to himself, did not eat or drink on the bus as he waited to be discovered. Fortunately, the driver returned and “got quite a shock� to find him still in his seat. She said her high-needs child depended on people supporting him and he had been traumatised by the events. This first incident prompted Mrs Hunt to push successfully for revamped safety procedures, liaising with the bus company, school and even visiting the Student Transport Commission. “I felt they had made a mistake,� she said. “All I wanted was change. The

company and the bus driver all apologised.� The changes resulted in a review of procedures, roll checks, seat inspections by the driver and chaperone, and even placing signs on the dashboard saying the bus had been checked and was empty. But, on Wednesday 11 November, with the bus presumably running late, Mrs Hunt was again left wondering when Kaileb “went missing� during after-school drop off. Inadvertently, the driver sailed past
the usual stop without realising one of his young passengers had expected to get off where his mother was waiting. The exact details are in dispute, but Mrs Hunt, in panic, called the school and the police, while the school called the bus line which – although safety procedures were implemented for just these reasons – “still didn’t see him on the bus�. “It took a lot of calls for them to realise he should be on the bus,� she said. “I thought he had been taken or gone walkabout. We were just lucky he was
still on the bus.� It had eight children aboard that day. Mrs Hunt said Kaileb had boarded at 2.50pm and was eventually taken to the correct stop at 4.15pm, where her mother-in-law was waiting while she checked other stops for her son. “If you’d seen what I went through,� Mrs Hunt said. “I feel like if it happens again and something horrible happens it will be my fault. “I drive him to school now because I can’t put him on the bus again until the guidelines are followed.�
Westernport Road Lines depot manager Mark Turner disputed the length of time Kaileb was on the bus in the second incident, saying he was “missed for a short period of time, maybe 20 minutes� back in the first incident in March. Safety measures put in place, largely thanks to Mrs Hunt’s initiative, meant the procedural aspects of the service were “under continual review� and working well. “The second time he was in the company of the supervisor and the other students and the situation was completely different,� Mr Turner said. “The child was not left on the bus. The driver missed his stop and, within five minutes, he had received a phone call and the bus turned around and took him back to his correct stop.� He said changes implemented by the bus lines included a full day’s staff training, including learning how to recognise the different behaviours of students. “A lot of the kids behave as normal on the bus while others are challenging,� he said. “Our special school service buses are extremely busy and some small children are good at hiding. There were lots of contributing factors and some of the kids just sit there, they don’t yell out if they are missed.� Principal Peter Koop said Peninsula Specialist College “takes the safety of its students very seriously�. “We will be working with Westernport Road Lines to understand [the] circumstances surrounding this recent incident,� he said.

A BEAUTIFUL slice of Mount Eliza, so reminiscent of the Italian riviera, complete with tennis court and a dazzling 180-degree view of the bay, Porta Coeli, translated to Heavens Gate couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a more apt name for this divine home. Boasting the ultimate combination of luxury and location every room is bathed in natural light and from the sprawling 2636 square metre block there is a private walkway down to Canadian Bay Beach. Embraced by lush gardens bordered by giant towering hedges,the property has an excellent aspect to take full advantage of the water vista and incredible sunsets. The sweeping floor plan
provides three bedrooms and open plan living spaces, with a delightful kitchen showcasing true character mixed with absolute luxury. A clever design has everything easily accessible and there are refined appointments such as the curved marble breakfast bar, dishwasher and Ilve oven. It is however the astounding alfresco terrace that is the beating heart of this vibrant property with most zones opening out to this space. A lovely dining hall, an elegant formal lounge with fireplace and the enormous master bedroom suite all have access to this point to bask in the sun and the views. The terrace has a vergola opening roof to protect from the
elements, and from here you look over the tennis court across to the bay. The master bedroom suite encompasses one wing of the home and comprises a huge dressing room, adjoining study and an opulent ensuite with shower, spa bath and marble counters. A parents retreat serves well as a library, with the study a potential fourth bedroom if required. To further add to this already significant holding is the possibility to purchase the vacant adjoining block at 65 Williams Road which measures about 2796 square metres.

Jolly koala rescued, more on way Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au AN unexpected visitor dropped in to central Frankston last week. A koala was removed from a garden in Jolly St on Wednesday (2 December) after Animalia Wildlife Shelter rescuers were called out by a homeowner concerned for the animal’s welfare. The female koala, named Jolly by shelter staff after the street she was found in, is now safely booked in for a short-term stay at Animalia’s shelter at Kenilworth Ave. Wildlife shelter president Michelle Thomas says koalas are increasing wandering into suburban streets in Frankston and need to be protected. “We’ve always had koalas in Frankston. I’ve been rescuing for 28 years and we’ve always had calls about koalas in Frankston but it’s never been this close [to the centre] before,” she said. Ms Thomas said koalas travel along Cranbourne Rd to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Cranbourne and eat leaves from gumtrees in the dividing lanes of the freeway on their way through. Koalas can travel up to 10 kilometres per day or night, according to Ms Thomas, but do prefer to be on the move under cover of darkness. Koalas are increasingly seen crossing Cranbourne Rd in Langwarrin near the Busy Bees Plant Nursery, even during daylight hours, and Ms Thomas urged motorists to look out for the furry travellers while driving through the area – mainly at the Kelvin Grove intersection but also along Dandenong-Hastings Rd near Browns Rd. It is the height of the breeding season for koalas and Ms Thomas reckons Jolly may have been on the move to avoid the unwanted attentions of frisky males. She said
males also move out of their usual routines and areas to avoid competition with older males during breeding season. Jolly’s age is uncertain. “I only sedate them if there’s been an injury and I don’t know if she’s got a joey in the pouch. She may have a joey in the pouch,” Ms Thomas said. The wildlife rescuer says it may be time for “climbing poles” to be installed in housing estates where koalas are beginning to roam. She said such poles have been erected in “koala zones” in NSW and Queensland housing estates since the marsupials often cannot climb out of a garden if they get in. “They’re at risk of attack from dogs ... if there’s two dogs in a backyard they can rip a koala apart,” Ms Thomas said. Jolly will thankfully spend a few days living a life of luxury at the wildlife shelter before she is released back into the wild, possibly in the Sweetwater Creek Nature Reserve which may have been her ultimate destination on her journey. Anyone who sees a koala in their garden in central Frankston or Langwarrin should call the Animalia Wildlife Shelter and Rescue service on 0435 822 699 so the animal can be removed for its own safety and released elsewhere. Animalia Wildlife Shelter is a not-forprofit organisation and relies on donations to continue its animal rescue work. Donations can be made via Westpac Bank BSB 033 138, account number 434072. The shelter is currently taking part in a Dreams for a Better World competition for a $5000 grant from super fund company Sunsuper. Voting is open until 20 December at dreamsforabetterworld.com.au

Cliff track talks THE Beleura cliff path, Mornington, remains officially closed, despite being used by many people each day. Safety barriers erected by Mornington Peninsula Shire have been pushed aside, providing access to the cracked and crumbling bitumen path up the steep cliff. Its use is expected to increase over summer but the shire has yet to say when, or if, the seriously eroded path will be repaired and made safe. The previous mayor Cr Bev Colomb has praised the state government for a $50,000 grant, although Mornington MP David Morris says the amount falls well short of the amount needed. A public meeting at the shire’s offices in Queen St, Mornington, will enable residents and members of the Beleura Cliff Path Steering group to questions councillors and officers about why the path remains closed two years after it was affected by a landslip. The landslip was caused by drainage from properties along the cliff top in Kalimna Drive. The meeting starts 5pm, Wednesday 16 December. Details: www.beleuracliffpath.com.au
Leaders united: Religious and community leaders are united in their wish for peace.
Muslims lead the way in peace talks LEADERS from six major religions went to a mosque in Langwarrin to explain the role their faith was taking to promote peace. President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Australia Inam-ul-Haq Kauser said “the majority” of Muslims were peaceful and that terrorist attacks had nothing to do with Islam. “There are only a handful of [Muslims] who are troublemakers, who are creating the whole trouble,” Imam Kauser said in his keynote address at the Conference of World Religions at the Bait-ul-Salam (House of Peace) Mosque on Sunday 29 November. The theme of the conference – attended by 350 community leaders, including police and politicians - was “The role of my religion in promoting peace”. The conference came two weeks after a wave of terrorist attacks in the Middle East and Paris left hundreds dead and even more people injured. “Do not feel that all Muslims verify
them [the terrorists] and support them. We do not support them,” Imam Kauser said. “If the 1.8 billion Muslims, God forbid, become terrorists, what is going to happen? They are not terrorists.” Imam Kauser said Islam was being terrorised and was in need of “more help than anyone else”. He said Muslims were suffering as a result of a handful of terrorists, and compared their plight to “a mother who is suffering because of her son’s bad deeds”. Imam Kauser said the world was being terrorised and “heading towards a brink of fire and a third world war”. He said “man has gone away from his lord” and “people are not talking about peace but rather they are talking about the differences”. Imam Kauser believed peace could be achieved by religious and political leaders getting together and promoting peace.

Imam Kauser said the 126-year-old Ahmadiyya Muslim sect rejected violence and had “never participated in any boycotts or terrorist activities”. “We have educated our youths very well. There is no question that our youths are involved in any terrorist activities in any part of the world.” Pandit Abhay Anand Awashthi, president of the Hindu Council of Australia, told the conference that religion had “the wisdom and capacity” to bring peace and prosperity to the world. The need for religions to work together to achieve world peace was backed up by Rabbi Lange, of Jewish Care Victoria. The Buddhist Society of Australia’s Michael Wells stressed the importance of finding refuge in oneself and taking their personal qualities “from a heart of kindness, from a place of peace and from a place of wisdom to influence the world”.
Retired Anglican priest the Rev Philip Manktelow said “love and peaceful harmony is a desire that we will all harbour in our hearts and in our minds. We believe that peace is a goal that we can all strive for and that we can live in peace”. Eradicating misinterpretations “back home” could help “achieve so much”, said Sikh Amar Singh. Opposition multicultural affairs and scrutiny of government spokesperson Inga Peulich said she had been to the Langwarrin mosque several times for “events that promote intercultural dialogue, interfaith dialogue” and praised its members for “really trying to be leaders in our community on building that communication and understanding that I think world peace and certainly peace in our communities we are so dependant upon”. The conference ended with a silent prayer led by Imam Kauser. Keith Platt
Young crime time rampage Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CHILDREN aged 12-16 were involved in an extensive crime rampage that could cost hundreds of thousands in damages to vehicle owners and shopkeepers last Wednesday night (2 December). Over ten hours – from 7.45pm-5am – the group of six: Stole keys to a Ford Territory from change rooms at Peninsula Aquatic Centre before driving off and, at 10.40pm, attempted to break in to the victim’s Frankston South house but were disturbed and fled; Attempted two aggravated burglaries in Mt Eliza, one at Summerhill Cres, 10.45pm, where an elderly man was threatened with a garden stake and told to hand over car keys and cash, but refused, and the second, in Archer Cl, 11.10pm, where they took a garage remote control from a car in the driveway, entered the house and stole a wallet and keys to a BMW and headed towards Frankston North; Used the victim’s credit cards to buy food and petrol at a McDonald’s in Cranbourne and a BP service station in Berwick; Drove in convoy on a ram-raid spree in which the Ford Territory was reversed into a pizza shop in Clyde North, smashing the plate-glass window and stealing petty cash; Attempted to enter a Cranbourne bakery but were refused entry, then using the Territory to extensively damage the baker’s car, parked outside; Used the Territory to ram through the window of a Cranbourne liquor outlet, activating the alarm and fleeing; Rammed the window of a Langwarrin pizza shop, causing extensive damage to the front of the business; Attempted to rob a Cranbourne West Subway store, but were unsuccessful; Further along the same road, in Langwarrin, reversed the Territory into a coffee shop and pizza shop, taking out the doors and the window frames.
Inside they stole petty cash – and a gelato; Rammed the front window of a Chinese restaurant in Frankston, stealing a bottle of water; Again used the Territory to smash through the front windows of the Hogsbreath Café, Karingal, stealing a small amount of cash and alcohol; Collided with a taxi in Frankston and dumped the Territory in Delacombe Park. Five offenders aged 12-16 were arrested over the next two days, 26-27 November. All are from Frankston. A sixth, 15, was arrested in Cranbourne on Sunday. Detective Sergeant Paul Mealia, of Frankston CIU, said they boys had been charged with a range of offences, with the 15 and 16 year olds regarded as the main offenders. The 15 year old was charged with multiple counts of armed robbery, aggravated burglary, criminal damage, burglary, theft, obtaining property by deception and unlicensed driving. The 16 year old was charged with multiple counts of aggravated burglary, burglary, attempted theft and theft of a motor car, deceptions, theft, unlicensed driving and criminal damage. They will appear at children’s court at a later date. The others – who may or may not have been in the cars for the whole time – have been charged with related offences. The BMW was later found extensively damaged in Cranbourne North. Its theft – and the subsequent valiant attempt by its owner’s partner to chase it down – received airtime on radio 3AW Friday morning. Despite passing several patrol cars at speed – and with the victim’s partner driving behind it and pleading for assistance via radio – police were obliged to obey their contentious no-pursuit policy. Frankston police Superintendent Glenn Weir defended their inaction, saying lives were placed at risk by chasing offenders, who may be unlicensed and have no driving experience.
Three pointer: Frankston City Council Mayor Cr James Dooley, Bruce Billson MP, and Nathan Jolly from Frankston and District Basketball Association discuss how the project will help the community.
Billson funding ‘slam dunk’ THE Frankston Regional Basketball Centre expansion and redevelopment project will receive $4.95 million from the Australian Government’s National Stronger Regions Fund, boosting local jobs, community infrastructure and support programs, Dunkley MP Bruce Billson has announced. “Our energetic basketball fraternity and 7,000 members of the Frankston and District Basketball Association know that the growing popularity of the sport has seen the current facilities bursting at the seams,” said Mr Billson. The $12.5 million construction can now procced with the Frankston Stadium expanding to a 10 court facility including a show-court with spectator seating capable of hosting major events; multisport line marking; updated kiosk, reception and administration facilities; improved change rooms and toilet facilities; car parking and landscaping. As well as adding a further 4 indoor courts, the expanded and modernise complex will provide a
purpose-built venue for district, State and national league and wheelchair basketball competition as well as transform the facility into a ‘community hub’ and a focus for youth services. Beyond the job creation and economic boost of the construction phase, the completed facility will provide additional operational employment opportunities, support local education, training, health and research programs and function as a disaster event/emergency service response and care centre when required. “This hard-won grant we have worked long and hard to secure adds to the $2.5 million grant from the previous State Liberal Government and the Frankston City and FDBA contributions will finally ensure that Victoria’s 5th largest basketball association has the facilities it needs to grow, prosper and strengthen our community into the future.”

IF you’re one of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who suffer joint pain, osteoarthritis, tendinopathy or bursitis you’ll be aware of how difficult it can be to find relief, especially longterm relief. Often benefits from treatments for these conditions are short lived or involve ongoing medication or surgery. Long- term solutions are not easy to come by, especially natural ones with proven medical effectiveness. But thanks to the latest advances in medical science and the partnership between one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal and sports podiatrists, Dr. Paul Dowie, and some of Australia’s leading orthopedic and regenerative medicine doctors and rehabilitation experts, ‘Joint & Tissue Regeneration Clinics’ has been born. Regeneration Clinics has a unique case management and multifaceted approach. Using the latest medically proven regenerative therapies such as prolotherapy, platelet rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy along with nutrition therapy and exercise rehabilitation they are having great success assisting healing and regeneration of tissues. Regeneration Clinics has also developed a unique patient case management program which involves their team of leading experts working together across multiple modalities, to thoroughly assess, diagnose, prescribe, implement and review comprehensive and holistic treatment plans. “If we can assist the function of damaged tissue, correct and re-educate muscle patterns and identify stresses, deficiencies, biological weaknesses and sensitivities we can provide all the support the body needs to heal itself, with the help of these wonderful new regenerative therapies.” Dr. Dowie says Regeneration Clinics also have a strong focus on preventative treatment as well as ongoing management and are passionate about educating, supporting and empowering their patients in
regards to their healing. “When we work together we can achieve amazing results. We’ve been able to assist thousands of people to avoid surgery and harmful medications as well as help many who’ve previously been told nothing can be done for them. Assisting people to get their lives back through increased mobility and relief from pain, without negative side-effects, is very rewarding,“ Dr. Dowie says. If you have painful or arthritic joints, injuries that won’t heal, or damaged tissue such as tendons, ligaments, muscles or cartilage, ‘Regeneration Clinics’ just may be your answer. ‘Regeneration Clinics’ are located in Nepean Highway, Moorabbin and Kew East.

LETTERS Third world scenes Picture any third world country with trash littering the streets, beaches and parks and currently that is what Frankston looks like. Any Mornington Peninsula Shire resident who complains about not having the option of hard rubbish collection needs to take a drive around Frankston. It has been at least six weeks since the first signs that a hard rubbish collection was about to take place. How hard can it be to narrow the pick-up to a specific area within a specific week? Six weeks of rubbish being dumped on nature strips, rubbish blowing across roads and into other properties and teenagers taking anything that looks like it can be ridden and dumping it into Mt Eliza where somebody else has to deal with it. The City of Frankston needs to consider whether its already bad reputation needs to be tarnished further by hard rubbish collection. I can only imagine what international tourists would be thinking to see this mess outside practically every property. In this six-week period, I have also noticed the additional general street rubbish that is obviously being thrown from cars. Why wouldn't our serial offending litterers feel that it is even more acceptable to add to the junk? My appreciation goes to Mornington Peninsula Shire for not succumbing to the pressure of local residents to duplicate this appalling practice. Raeleigh Speedie, Mt Eliza
Liberal negativity I'm definitely not a defender of the Labor party, but Nepean MP Martin Dixon could have been a little more measured in his spray on the state government (“Labor’s jobs loss”, Letters 1/12/15). The great waste of money he accuses Labor of is, to a great part, to be blamed on the born to rule attitude of the one term Liberal government he was part of. If his government had not promised by stealth to hand over huge compensation payments for last minute contracts signed on the eve of a state election, we would have no such waste. This hypocrisy is breath taking. It seems the Liberal party has not learned a thing from the disastrous Abbott years. It's negativity all the way. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach Editor: The letter criticising the state Labor government was co-signed by Mr Dixon, Mornington MP David Morris and Hastings MP Neale Burgess.
Sad departure I was saddened to hear that our present Member of Parliament [Dunkley MP] Bruce Billson has decided to not recontest the upcoming federal election. As someone who has worked with Bruce over the past 14 years, regardless of his political affiliation, I can attest to his energy and passion for the people of Frankston. Since his election in 1996, Bruce has sought to be accessible to the people of Frankston and has not been shy about pursuing favourable outcomes for our area. During my time in local government, he was a pleasure to deal with and played a major part in the bidding war between the major political
parties that ultimately saw Frankston allocated the federal grants required to build the fabulous Frankston Regional Aquatic Centre. I thank Bruce Billson for his substantial service and can only hope that his successor will be just as tireless in advocating for the people of Frankston. Kris Bolam, JP, former Frankston Mayor
Similarly, respected physicists have calculated that the same minor role applies for the effect of “greenhouse gasses”. I am supporting a former work colleague by reviewing his paper to be published in a peerreviewed journal. It points out the glaring incorrect physics of diagrams given by the IPCC in its 2005 AR4 report. Henry Broadbent, Somers
Convert offices
Cynical approach
It was heartening to see so many people at the Western Port Takes A Stand White Ribbon Day March and it started me thinking of how many women and children need emergency accommodation. When the so-called super councils were developed some years back, it was thought that we would no longer need individual shire offices now that Rosebud is the main centre. While recognising the need for a presence in various towns, like Hastings, I cannot understand why such large buildings are retained. Surely each small town could rent an office, rather like the electoral office in Hastings, and free up the large old council offices for dividing into emergency accommodation. If not feasible to refurbish the offices for this purpose, I imagine they could be sold and the proceeds go to building at least one emergency accommodation centre. I would also suggest that rather than dollars going to unnecessary things like paying $12,000 for two councillors to attend the Paris climate talks and $18,000 being proposed for conducting a name change consultation for West Rosebud, this could be used to help those in need. Do other people have ideas on how we could tighten our belts for the benefit of our residents? Mel Farnbach, Balnarring
Let’s pretend for one moment that David Harrison presents an accurate view of the personality clashes that happen in Mornington Peninsula Shire’s council chamber (“The blow-up we had to have”, Council Watch, 1/12/15). Assume that despite regular meetings with his long time friend Cr Graham Pittock, he is an “independent observer.” Let’s accept that despite having never once having had a conversation with me he knows exactly what motivated me to spend four years of my late 20s in the public eye – presumably, membership of the “conservative faction” that’s been “dominating” council policy over the past decade. And let’s accept that my misbehaviour in the chamber is just sour grapes over losing the power to force through Cr David Gibb’s pet SPA (Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre) project, well outside the boundaries of Briars ward. Even if we accept every piece of this outlandish fantasy narrative, does that make it OK to promise your vote to other councillors in exchange for total control over policy as a group? Is it really acceptable to use Cr Pittock’s [inaugural] mayoral speech as the entire council’s new strategic direction? After years of criticism over almost every area of council expenditure, Graham Pittock suggested the alternative mayor (me) “might not have wanted to go” [to the Paris climate change talks], which is why this important issue was shoehorned into an already full agenda. You’re damn right I wouldn’t have, because I think this behaviour is the very reason the state government is capping rates. But, as the mayor told Harrison on their latest scheduled catch-up, “we must seek efficiencies”, and last week in the chamber I’d already “had my turn”. The cynical truth is that every argument sycophantic machine politicians have put forward about the debt position and expenditure was nothing but a front for a political argument they didn’t have the honesty or rhetorical skills to put forward in public. Andrew Dixon, councillor Briars Ward
Incorrect physics Gary Wragg’s statement (“The science is right”, Letters 24/11/15) referring to “97 per cent of the world’s climate scientists” reminds me that 500 years ago everybody thought that the Sun orbited the Earth. John Cook (Google him) also said “Satellites measure reductions in heat escaping to space direct empirical evidence that carbon emissions are trapping heat”. I disagree. The real reason is that there is now less cloud to reflect heat back than previously. The increased electric “wind” from the sun over the past 50 years more strongly deflects the cosmic rays providing charged particles for the moisture to condense on and form clouds. Experiments, particularly in Mexico, showed that improved clouds and rainfall result by injecting charged particles into the air. The claims by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that “greenhouse gasses” are the prime cause of Earth’s increasing temperature cannot be correct. Their computerised proofs are based on bad physics and incorrect assumptions or deliberate omissions. The IPCC 2012 AR5 report ignores the effect of lack of cosmic ray engendered clouds. It is of similar size as the “greenhouse effect”. The action of a greenhouse is attributed to the selective properties of the glass by keeping in low temperature heat waves. A scientist in 1907 proved that this effect is very small (about one per cent) and that it is the enclosure preventing heat loss that matters.
A better way Rejoice we have one MP [Graham Watt, Burwood] who has the wit, courage and human sensitivity not to join the noisy handclapping herd after [Australian of the Year] Rosie Batty's speech [in state parliament 26/11/15] on domestic violence. A minute’s silence in respect for her dead son [Luke] would have been much more appropriate. Maureen Federico, Frankston South
Marginal way to go The saying "never let the truth stand in the way of a good story "is being put on display once again from [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon who must have an irrelevance problem. He knows that Penbus is a federal issue. His
Canberra mates ceased the funding, not state Labor. He might approach [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt for the reinstatement of that; I'm not having any luck. Mr Dixon’s lot got kicked out because of the arrogance the was displayed by the Napthine government forcing the East/West link on the voters virtually on the eve of the election in a deal that was struck hastily, resulting in his happy group leaving Victorians with a $400 million debt. The promises that [Premier Daniel] Andrews has made needs the support of the Upper House, which he doesn't have control over. What exactly did Martin Dixon do for our side of the Mornington Peninsula the two times he has been in government? He didn't improve our transport problems and lack of action over Moorooduc Primary School is another example. Just those two instances alone prove that it is not the Andrews government that has treated us with contempt, but the conservatives’ attitude to safe seats, of which this is one. Martin Dixon once more is going around criticising a Labor government on the maintenance of state parks and the lack of action on the Hastings submarine project, when clearly he was sitting on his hands suffering from lethargy and doing nothing while waiting to be kicked out of office. The only way we can expect to get some advantages for our electorate is to make Nepean a marginal seat, which probably won’t happen because of the hotbeds of conservatism such as the elderly citizens and bowling clubs.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Sad drowning fatality in Frankston Compiled by Melissa Walsh A wire has been received by the friends of Sergeant Alex O. Kerr, that he is sick, and was removed to Malta by the hospital ship, on the 29th November. *** MISS Beatrice Andrews has succeeded in passing the junior division of the Trinity College of Music, London. This is the second examination Miss Andrews has passed this year. *** INTENDING competitors at the Frankston New Year’s Day Sports are reminded that entries for the wood chops close on Monday next, 13th inst. and for the Pedestrian and Wheel events on Thursday December 16th. *** IN the latest casualty list published it is notified that Private C. H. McLear, of Dromana, is under hospital treatment in Egypt. His many Peninsula friends wish him a speedy and complete restoration to health. *** READERS are reminded of the euchre party and dance which is to be held this evening, in the Mechanics’ Hall. The prizes are well worth trying for, and the “Wattles” Club members are sparing no pains to make the evening a success in every way. *** JUSTICE Walton says :—”My experience as recorder of Nigan, and Judge of the High Court since 1901, has led me to the conclusion that
more than 99 per cent of the trials for crimes of violence have their origin in intemperance. *** A grand garden fete and open air concert will be held in the Somerville park, December 18th, in aid of the fund for wounded soldiers. Several returned heroes will be present, and various entertainment,including a shooting gallery, etc, will be provided for them. Members of the Mornington Junction rifle club have generously offered their services, and the shooting gallery will be conducted by them. The Hastings brass band will also be in attendance. In the evening an open air concert will be held, and a splendid programme, including items by the favorite singer, Miss Brewer, will be submitted. — Proceedings will be opened by the Hon. D. E McBryde at 2 p m. Full particulars are advertised. *** A very sad drowning fatality occurred at Frankston on Saturday evening, a Mr Charles Moore, of Burleigh, Fairfield Park being the victim. The deceased who was foreman at one of the Standard Shoe Company’s factories, was on a weekend visit to Frankston, accompanied by his wife and two children. After tea Moore, who was a strong swimmer went in for a bathe at the piles in the vicinity of the old bathe. After being in the water some time he waved his hand cheerfully to his family, who were watching him from
the shore, and in a few minutes later he disappeared. Assistance was asked and quickly obtained from the township. Messrs H. Garrood and C. Hagan without undressing, at once went into the water to try and recover the body. After searching for five or six minutes, the body was discovered by Mr Garrood near one of the piles, and a boat’s crew, consisting of the Burton Bros and W. Gregory, who had been hailed, came up, and under the direction of Mr E M’Comb, the body was brought to the shore. Strenuous efforts were at once made to resuscitate the body, but without avail, and Dr Maxwell, on his arrival, said that the man was dead. The cause of death was given as a fit, while in the water, brought on by bathing too soon after a hearty meal. The remains were taken to Melbourne by rail on Tuesday for internment. *** “TWO Bays”, Somerville, was the scene of an exceptionally pretty wedding on Tuesday last, when Mr C. Mervyan Clemenger, son of Mr H. M. Clemenger, “Preston Villa”, Moreland, was united in holy matrimony to Ruby, only daughter of Cr and Mrs G. Griffeth, Somerville. The Rev Butchers, of Cranbourne, assisted by Mr Neil McDonald, officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, had as bridesmaids the Misses Ruby and Lily Clemenger. They looked charming in dresses of white Crepe de chene, with mob caps trimmed with pink roses
and bouquets of pink roses and maiden hair fern. The train bearers were Miss Gwen Clemenger and Master Keith Page. The bride looked exceedingly pretty in bridal robes of white crepe de chene, covered with limerick lace, with the customary orange blossoms and veil. The bridegroom was supported by Mr W. Fautley, as best man, and Mr J. Stenniker as groomsman. The mother of the bride wore gunmetal crepe de chene and black hat, and the bride groom’s mother wore black crepe de chene and black hat. After the ceremony the guests were invited to breakfast. The specially prepared hall had been suitably decorated for the occasion, and the guests sat down to a feast, catered for by Mr Bieri, of Mornington, in his best style. *** TANTI Market. Monday, Dec 6th. Alex Scott and Co. report holding their usual monthly sale at Tanti on the above date, when they had another big yarding, establishing a record for the yards. There was a big attendance of buyers including several from outside centres, and prices obtained were right up to late rates. They made a total clearance. Milkers £8 to £15 springers to £12 10s, fat cows to £10 15s store cows £8 10s, 18 mth heifers to £4 10s, 2yr old to £5 10s, Steers to £4 15s, bulls to £8 2s 6d, poddies 38s to 67s 6d, pigs— porkers to 94s, stores to 52s, suckers £1 to 31s. ***
AUSTRALIAN Expeditionary Forces. Recruits Wanted. Every many physically fit is wanted. Conditions of enlistment - Age—18 to 45 years. Minimum height—5 feet 2 inches. Chest measurement—33 inches. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot, where arrangements will be made for medical examination. Persons who are considered suitable will be granted free Railway tickets to the Metropolis for final medical examination and enlistment. *** MORNINGTON Races. With the exception of the two pony races, fields were poor at the meeting on Thursday at Mornington. The weather was fine, though a trifle warm, and there was a satisfactory attendance, despite the fact that the special train from the metropolis was not as well patronised as usual. Half the profits from the fixture are to be devoted to the Australian Sick and Wounded Soldiers’ Fund. *** AN appeal to the editor. Sir-I beg to appeal for assistance to help cheer the sick soldiers at Langwarrin this Christmas. The Frankston Red Cross Branch has inaugurated a scheme for supplying small hospital bags, and finds it necessary to ask for help to fill these bags with useful presents and small delicacies.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Ronda Rousey irrelevance syndrome By Stuart McCullough YUCK. If I had to sum up the recent outbreak of Ultimate Fighting Championship-mania, that’s the word I’d choose. Yuck and, moreover, double yuck with a cherry on top. Watching people kick and punch each other in the name of entertainment would be hilarious if it occurred, say, on the set of A Country Practice or spontaneously during a performance of HMAS Pinafore but as a stand-alone event it is little short of vulgar. And now that the carnival has left town, presumably taking the cash of hard-working Melbournians with it, the time has come to ask the question: what on earth just happened? Until a few weeks ago, I’d never heard of Ronda Rousey. Perhaps I’d been living in a state of denial as well as the State of Victoria, but I had as been blissfully ignorant as to her existence as she has been to mine. Frankly, I suspect that arrangement suited us both. But everything changed when I caught a train to Southern Cross station and was confronted by a forty foot Ronda plastered over one side of Etihad Stadium. Ronda, it seemed, was coming to Melbourne whether I liked it or not. And the reason for her arrival was unmistakable. She was not coming here to attend the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, to watch the second XI have their cricket match rained out at the Lakeside oval or visit the fairy penguins but beat the living cheezels out of someone. It’s been a while since I’ve seen anything resembling a fight. It would have been years ago as people waited
for taxis after the pub closed and the guy who ran the hotdog van had just run out of mustard. My response to such outbursts has changed little over the years; I’ve always done my best to avoid physical altercations by keeping
my distance and always carrying my own emergency mustard. But a private supply of condiments is of little use when it comes to steering clear of the world’s largest mixed martial arts competition.
In the days leading up to the bout, the media fell over itself to breathlessly report on every dimension of the upcoming battle. That we didn’t hear the thoughts of various contestants on the state of the continental breakfast at their hotel can only be oversight of colossal dimensions. Ronda, it must be said, was everywhere, telling us all what she planned to do to her opponent, Holly Holm. It was, of course, twelve different versions of ‘I intend to snap her like a twig’. That such statements were reported on and, in fact, were deemed to be news at all made it feel as though we’d entered some kind of parallel universe. Much like boxing, there was a weigh-in. Sadly, this was not done in the style of ‘The Biggest Loser’ and the contest was not settled on the basis of who had avoided eating sneaky doughnuts over the past week. Rather, it was a loathsomely self-indulgent piece of not very good theatre ¬(think Cats as performed by those undertaking a court-ordered community service order rather than The Iceman Cometh by the MTC) in which the two protagonists were apparently unable to control their enmity for each other and wanted to bypass the Octagon and hold the fight in the weigh-in room instead. In the interests of saving time, this would have done us all a massive favour. Fact is, in the real world, this kind of uncontrollable hatred for another person is something that warrants immediate therapy. But although the alleged altercation was cornier than Kansas and hammier than a truckload of pigs, it was broadcast as a
means of building anticipation for the main event. I can’t say I watched the fight proper. The ten seconds I saw on the news that night seemed more than enough. I saw one woman kick another woman in the head and then punch her. Frankly, if I want to see that kind of thing, I’d hang out at taxi ranks and wait until the hotdog van runs out of mustard. But having given the matter much thought, I’ve decided that the problem with mixed martial arts is that they’re not mixed enough. Mixing judo, boxing and other assorted forms of assault together is just thuggery. It should be combined with other less violent combat sports. Such as chess. The game between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fisher played in Reykjavik in 1972 is considered one of the greatest battles between two chess masters of all time. But imagine how much better it might have been if, after moving his rook, Fisher had then slapped Spassky before driving him into the floor? You can’t tell me that Ultimate Fighting Chess wouldn’t give both sports a much-needed shot in the arm. But until the powers that be finally relent and allow chess, darts, hopscotch and paper-rock-scissors to form part of the broader mixed martial arts arsenal, I think I’ll ignore it. With any luck, it will never pass this way again. A week after the tournament, I happened to drop in to JB Hi Fi only to find a box set of Ronda’s greatest fights that had been heavily discounted. It may have been a bargain, but it still seemed to great a price to pay. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

The Corner
Still in its original home since it started, the Corner Café is aptly named after the original Martin’s Corner store that sat on the site from the early 1920s. “It is wonderful to still be at the original site,” says owner, Tracey, who wants to continue to bring the history of the area into the café. “We have put out a request for people to come in with their old photos and memorabilia of the area so that we can display it and then pass it on to the historical society. I imagine there will be people who have been camping here for 40 or 50 years and have incredible photos or stories to tell. And then of course there’s the people who have lived in the area for generations.” Tracey and her team love working in the Rosebud area and are delighted to be part of the Rosebud community. “We feel very strongly about the revival of the tradition and the history
COME AND CELEBRATE 10 YEARS WITH US of Martin’s Corner,” says Tracey, with the Corner Café and Catering still a big part of the Blue Mini group. “We have given the café a wonderful revamp, with a fresh coat of paint and a new logo. There’s a great new summer menu but we have kept the old favorites as well.” With a fabulous community focus and a passion for paying homage to the Rosebud area, Tracey and her
team welcome visitors and locals alike to bring in their photos and memorabilia to encapsulate the wonderful history of the seaside township.

Ara Ketu will be the first show to kick start the program for 2016. Featuring Brazilian carnival dancers, AfroBrazilian music, dazzling costumes and stunning dance – it promises to create an irresistible experience. Don’t miss this night of pulsating rhythms and percussive grooves. The smash-hit production winner of the Obie Award, 4000 miles is a poignant and unsentimental family drama about the relationship between a grandson and grandmother from one of America’s brightest playwrights. Vincent is a dance theatre work about the life, loss and love of Vincent Van Gogh. This production focuses on the mental illness that plagued a man that would become one of the most revered artists in history. The Shakespearean classic Othello is a production of violent exploration of the thin line that separates love and jealousy, a relentless journey of vicious passion, contemporarily depicted as only Bell Shakespeare can.
Wuthering Heights (pictured right) reworked for the stage featuring a breathtaking design and a stellar cast, shake & stir invites you to drop by the Heights and revisit an old favourite. A physical theatre performance without dialogue, If These Walls Could Talk, speaks volumes through movement, dance and music and a touch of visual arts.

Old Boys shoot to top PROVINCIAL By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys shot to the top of the MPCA Provincial ladder on Saturday after picking up an outright victory over Pines. The Old Boys already had the win on week one of the match after bowling out the visitors for 87 before declaring their innings on 7/104. Pines resumed on Saturday in a reasonable position of 2/52 with Nick Wilcox and Rhys Chalkley at the crease. Chalkley went quickly for one and Wilcox followed shortly after, making 49. The Pines’ middle order was resilient before POB eventually bowled them out for 189. Needing about 170 to pick up the outright victory, Peninsula Old Boys did it with eight batsmen still in the
sheds. Matt Hyden was superb for his side, leading the charge and making 86, while Wade Pelzer opened with 65. Mornington and Somerville played out an absolute cliff-hanger, with the home side hanging on by just five runs. After making 242 on the first day at Alexandra Park, Mornington started the second day in blistering fashion, rolling the first four Somerville batsmen for just 32 runs. Luke Popov removed both openers before Michael Heib and Matt Foon got amongst the wickets and had the Eagles on the back foot. But Somerville skipper Leigh Lowry dug in and helped himself to 68, while the likes of Jack Barbour (26) and Jack Kennedy (62*) gave the visitors a real sniff. At 6/200 and with the likes of Craig
Black and Matt Roach still to come, it appeared the Eagles were in the box seat. Black made 32 and Roach 17, however, ducks to Jarryd Parker and Blake Terlaak saw the Eagles lose their final three wickets for just three runs. Somerville was bowled out for 237. Heib finished with four wickets and Foon three. Further down the Peninsula at Sorrento, the home side and Baxter also played a nail biter. Defending 223, Baxter had Sorrento resuming at 1/14 on day two. Nick Jewell, Bobby Wilson and Anthony Blackwell all ended up back in the sheds with the total at 106. When Corey Harris (42) was snared by Chris Brittain without adding to the score, the Sorras seemed to have little chance. Enter Chris King,
Jayden Morgan and Jackson Casper. Morgan helped his side get to 130 before he went for 15, but Casper and King added another 93 runs to tie the game before King went out for 57. Number 11 Connor McMahon just needed to survive to allow Casper to regain the strike and hit the winning run. With six overs still left in the game, Casper just needed to pick up a single, which he did, to gift Sorrento the 12 points. Crib Point easily accounted for Langwarrin, maintaining its position in the top two. Defending 223, the Magpies had Langwarrin resuming at 1/4. After Nathan Volpe made 41 and Jake Prosser 29, the Kangas were rolled for just 113. Glenn Barclay snared 4/19 for the Pies and Jacob
Cook helped himself to 4/25. Moorooduc performed as expected to beat Rye outright. Rye made just 57 in its first innings while Moorooduc declared at 8/145 after resuming on day two at 4/98. The Ducs then bowled out Rye for a second time for 98 before picking up the necessary 16 runs to win outright. Adam Bayley finished with figures of 8/17, including a hat-trick on the first day. Long Island defeated Mt Eliza with relative ease. The Islanders began the day on 0/16, chasing the Mounties’ 121. The visitors got there with only four wickets down. Scott Phillips top scored with 64 after taking 4/26 with the ball on the first day. Mike Reynolds was also solid for the Islanders with 60.
Braves and Hillmen on top DISTRICT By IT Gully BADEN Powell and Red Hill remain clear at the top of the MPCA District ladder after recording easy victories on Saturday. The Braves and Hillmen are 12 points clear of their nearest rivals Pearcedale, who also recovered to win comfortably. Flinders and Heatherhill round out the top five. There are four teams all on 24 points, just one game outside of the top four. Red Hill was just 71 runs short of victory with 10 wickets in hand against Seaford Tigers when play resumed at Red Hill Reserve. Whilst the Tigers tried to make life difficult for the home side, it didn’t prevent them from recording an effortless 83-run victory. In reality, the game was all over early when the openers Riley Shaw (41) and Callum Rowe (38) put on a partnership of 81. Although Simon Dart went cheaply, Brent Martin strode to the crease and hit 46, ensuring his side got over the line. Corey Hand was outstanding for the Tigers with 6/54 from 23.4 overs. Baden Powell were never going to lose their match against Delacombe Park, however a greater fight from the visitors was expected. The Braves made a whopping 7/314 on the opening day of the match at Overport Rd. Other than Jon Gurthrie, who opened with 50 and Rowan Charles with 26, the rest of the Parkers failed to score more than eight runs. Andrew Christides’ total of eight was a consolation prize for the Parkers. Ryan Barnett was outstanding for the Braves, opening the bowling with 6/19 off 15 overs, giving him 18 wickets for the season. Rhys Elmi rounded out a great personal game with 2/8, along with his 61 runs. Carrum have slumped to secondlast on the District ladder after being smashed by Flinders. Defending 227, the Sharks had Carrum in all sorts of trouble as day two
PAGE 64
began with the top four batsmen in the sheds, just 29 runs between them. Shaun Foster ended up with 27, adding nine runs to his overnight total, while Lachy Dobson flew the flag at the end with an unbeaten 38. The Lions were bowled out for 130. Matt Burns finished with 4/20 from 21.4 overs to be the pick of the Flinders bowlers. Pearcedale were in real strife at the beginning of the second day against Mt Martha. Chasing 143 for victory, the Panthers resumed on 4/39. That quickly became 5/62 when Shayne Gillings went out for seven. However, Chris Dew (75) was joined at the crease by the extremely talented Max Blackburn, who played his best innings in three seasons, dominating the Reds’ attack and finishing with 133. Pearcedale were eventually bowled out in the 68th over for 272, a victory of 130 runs. Heatherhill won a clincher with Seaford, claiming victory by just six runs. Resuming on 1/6 chasing Heatherhill’s 176, Seaford (170) had their chances but just couldn’t get over the line. Jake Theobald was the best of the Hills’ bowlers, with 4/47 from 17.5 overs. The Hills are now just outside the top four on percentage alone Main Ridge and Boneo played out a runfest, with the home side winning the day. Boneo set the Ridge 294 for victory after scoring 8/293 on the first day. The home side was wobbly early, before Travis Barker (65) and Gareth Wyatt (59) steadied the ship. Bailey McLellan (32), James Abbott (31) and Jason Albress (44) all got going in the middle order to steer the Ridge to 7/306. Leigh Janssen was the best of the Pandas’ bowlers with 3/70 rom 26 overs.

It’s tight at the top SUB-DISTRICT
Taking one for the team: Dromana were left battered after being bowled out for just 86. Picture: Andrew Hurst
BURDETT’S
By IT Gully DROMANA and Hastings are locked together at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after round five wrapped up on Saturday. In a very even 2015-16 competition, a buffer at the top of the table and early wins before Christmas are just what the clubs are looking for. The Blues weren’t overly impressive in their match against Balnarring, however they still scraped together enough for the 12 points. Dromana proved just how tight the competition was, humiliated by Frankston YCW. The Stonecats are just outside of third place on percentage after picking up the very important win against the Hoppers. Defending 7/169, the Stonecats’ bowlers needed to produce something special against a batting line up that included Greg McCann, Darren Kerr, Mark Whitehead, Sam Fowler and Aaron Kaddatz. The highest run scorer of the top five was McCann, who opened with 13. The rest scored just 12 runs between them, leaving Dromana bowled out for just 86 after 33 overs. The evergreen Andrew Kitson was at his absolute best for the Stonecats with four wickets, while Lai Leaunoa also claimed four wickets, including a couple of important ones in Kerr and Kaddatz. Hastings had all but won the game when they arrived at Thomas Barclay Reserve on Saturday. Chasing 94 for victory against
Balnarring, the home side resumed at 2/52. After Al Kristensen (48) and Tim Birch (43) had secured victory, the Blues eventually capitulated and were bowled out for 130. Justin Brown picked up his best bowling figures for the Saints’ season with 4/18, while Brenton Taylor snared 3/14 from seven overs. Skye were lucky to survive an outright loss to Tootgarook, losing 13 wickets for the day. The Frogs made 9/327 with Matt Whelan scoring a big ton last week. Skye were never going to get those runs. Whelan backed up his brilliant century with the bat to claim 3/29 for the visitors in the first innings. Skye were bowled out for 93. The home side fought hard in the second innings and finished on 3/71. Rosebud came within three wickets of victory against Ballam Park. The Buds made 6/242 on the first day of the match and rolled the Knights for 52 in the first innings. Jason Nagel snared 5/26 for the Buds while son Patrick made his 15th wicket for the season picking up 4/20. Ballam Park batted just 21 overs. In the second innings, an unbeaten 34 from Zac Pedderson saved the Knights from an outright loss. Brian Doughty claimed 3/20 in the second innings. In the final match, Tyabb fell 17 runs short of victory against Carrum Downs. Chasing 259 for victory, the Yabbies made 9/242, with Michael Edwards top-scoring on 78.

GIFT GUIDE 2015 Volunteers to the rescue with sound boating tips MORNINGTON’S award-winning Volunteer Marine Rescue service, now entering its 35th summer of operation, offers five recreational boating safety tips: 1. Before you go out, check the weather forecast. A calm day can quickly turn ugly on the water. Keep an eye out for changing weather conditions by monitoring the forecast. Check out www.bom.gov.au 2. Always wear a lifejacket and insist your crew and guests do the same. While it is only a requirement to wear one in certain situations, the low cost of automatically inflating PFDs is cheap insurance. Remember, it’s only a lifejacket if you’re wearing it – and make sure it’s in good condition. 3. Check all safety equipment before heading out. Make sure everyone on the vessel knows where it is stored and how to operate it. 4. Always makes sure you have enough fuel – one-third for the trip out, one-third for the trip home and a third in reserve. 5. Stay with your vessel. In the event you end up in the water, ensure you and all occupants stay with the boat. It is far easier for rescue authorities to find you.
About VMR MORNINGTON Community Bay Rescue Service, now VMR Mornington and Hastings, was formed in May 1980 when a boating accident occurred within sight of land, and police stood helpless on the cliff top watching one of the occupants trying to reach shore. By the time a boat could be located, launched and reached the overturned vessel, the swimmer had drowned. The incident sat heavily on the shoulders
of Mornington police who decided not to let it happen again. The name of the man who lost his life that day, Paul Darbyshire, was honoured when the service named its first rescue craft The Darbyshire. VMR operates three purpose-built search and rescue vessels, two at Mornington and one at Hastings. Members assist boaties and other marine users under the direction of water police. VMR’s mission is “Serving our local community in the protection of life at sea”. VMR president Col Strawbridge said the service was staffed solely by volunteers, mostly boaties and anglers living on the peninsula. “Our volunteers all love being on the water and, more importantly, helping others. They respond 24-7 and we can be on the water and underway in about 10-15 minutes,” he said. VMR is a free service, but each year needs to raise more than $67,000 for maintenance, fuel, a berth at Western Port Marina and other costs. “VMR has been fortunate to receive grants from the state government for Yamaha engines for its three vessels,” Mr Strawbridge said. “Our Hastings vessel is fitted with the most advanced FLIR camera, usually found only on police and military vessels. “FLIR, or forward looking infrared, is invaluable on night searches when people are in the water. It detects thermal heat and is a night vision camera that can ‘see’ 1.2 kilometres.” For more information about VMR, look up www.vmrmornington.com.au
Keeping boaties safe: Volunteer Marine Rescue volunteers power across Port Phillip near Mornington harbour on one of their boats. The service was founded in 1980.

GIFT GUIDE 2015
Check the car before summer holidays BEFORE the holidays and a road trip to a favourite beach or inland destination, a pre-summer check of the car should be a priority. The RACVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website states the most common problem affecting motorists during summer is an overheated engine, but a few simple checks can reduce the risk of being stranded. The pre-summer checklist should include not only the radiator and cooling system, but also the electrical system, brakes and tyres, plus an overall â&#x20AC;&#x153;spring cleanâ&#x20AC;?. Cooling system Top up your radiator coolant to the required level, taking care to add the correct amount of coolant mixture as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Check all radiator hoses (including heater hoses) for firmness, replace any that are spongy or leaking, and keep spares of the main hoses and belts in the boot for emergencies. The fan belt and any other drive belts, such as for air-conditioning or power steering, need to be inspected thoroughly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for fraying and correct tension â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so they do not slip. Any belts that are even slightly frayed should be replaced. Electrical Batteries manufactured nowadays are maintenance-free but check the water level and top them up if necessary. Use distilled water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; never use tap water as it will harm the battery. Routine maintenance should include removing any corrosion from battery
terminals, which can then be smeared with petroleum jelly to slow the corrosion process. An added precaution is to wipe the high-tension leads, sparkplugs and distributor cap with a dry cloth. Tyres All tyres, including the spare, must be properly inflated to cope with the demands of long trips and hot weather. Check the pressures when the tyres are cold. Recommended tyre pressures are
printed on a sticker affixed to most cars. Tread depth should not be less than a match head. Many tyres now have tread wear indicators to remove the guesswork. Uneven wearing of tyres may indicate a fault with the steering, suspension or wheel alignment, and these items should be checked if in doubt. Brakes Consult a brake specialist if the car has a tendency to pull to one side

when braking, if the brake pedal goes too close to the floor or has any other symptoms that seem unusual. Check the hand brake as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; park the car on a hill, put it in neutral and, if it does not hold firm on the handbrake, have it checked and adjusted. Clean lights and windows Car windows should always be kept clean, as dirty glass can drastically reduce the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision when heading towards oncoming headlights or a low sun. Dirt increases the effect of glare.
Exterior dirt is easy to wash off, but it can be a constant battle to keep the inside of the glass free from the hazy film that builds up when a car is parked in the sun. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;hazeâ&#x20AC;? can usually be wiped off with a chamois, methylated spirits or most domestic glass or general cleaners, but there is no magic formula to eliminate the problem altogether. For good visbllity, keep the windscreen washer bottle topped up, and clean all lights and lenses.
