Step to carbon neutrality David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au THE shire council could close the Rye tip by late 2018 as it seeks to become carbon neutral.

The goal of becoming carbon neutral advanced another step at the council’s meeting on Monday last week when councillors voted to develop a policy that includes the vital step of closing the tip or landfill.

The tip emits nearly half the shire’s carbon dioxide. If it remains open following the opening of a new “cell” for waste, emissions will rise by nearly half by 2050 instead of falling by about three-quarters, the meeting was told.

Shire waste could be sent to the huge landfill about an hour away in Hamp-

ton Park if Rye tip were to close.

First steps in the carbon neutral plan include improving energy efficiency, upgrading street lights, more use of solar power, offsetting remaining emissions by buying carbon offsets within the shire, and short-term spending.

Part of the strategy involves revegetation that would absorb CO2 in the quest to have the shire accredited as carbon neutral. A variety of other programs, including a pilot program with sporting clubs and a federally funded shire aged and disability care project, aim to cut energy costs for residents across the peninsula.

The shire renewable resources team led by Jessica Wingad was congratulated by Cr Tim Rodgers, who set the new policy in motion at a meeting last

November.

He praised Ms Wingad and her team for the “brilliant” report. For the past decade the shire had involved the community in climate change, with speakers including Professor Tim Flannery addressing meetings in the shire, he said.

“We had about 3000 people attend our Climate Change Conversation meetings around the peninsula,” Cr Rodgers said. “The halls were packed. People were very keen to find out about the issue of climate change.

They wanted to know about the science, the facts and the future.

“And they wanted to know what council and they could do to mitigate and adapt to climate change.”

Now we all know the facts, he said.

“We all know that sea levels are rising,

summers are getting hotter, heatwaves are killing the frail and elderly, our drains are failing to cope with storms, coasts are crumbling, and the bushfire season continues to lengthen.

“So the research says that we must do something about it and we have got to do something about it now – both to mitigate and adapt.”

The carbon neutral report was about mitigation, he said. “It is about the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council doing its bit; our bit to become carbon neutral.”

The next step in the program occurs at the 14 September council meeting when the shire’s municipal waste and resource recovery strategy is due to be discussed. The future of Rye tip will no doubt come up.

SAFETY Beach residents could have been forgiven for thinking they were in the Yukon on Sunday last week when 22 samoyeds came strolling along the beach.

Along with a Jack Russell and dalmatian they posed for a group photo on the jetty and then walked to the Tassels Cove off-leash beach for a play and run with the locals, before walking around Martha Cove boardwalk.

The occasion was a monthly pet walk by members of The Samoyed Club of Victoria which visits different locations in Victoria. The aim is to promote the breed and to encourage socialisation and education among pet owners and the public.

Previous walks have taken in the Botanic Gardens, a ferry to Queenscliff, and parts of Melbourne. Also, the samoyed Santa sled team tows Santa through shopping centres at Mornington and Mt Eliza and childcare centres and nursing homes around Melbourne each year. Last year members participated in the “I Gave a Woof” fundraiser at Rosebud, a fund raising effort by The Angel Op Shop’s Pink Angels.

Club members say samoyeds have lovely temperaments and patiently allow young children to snuggle and cuddle them.

They were originally used to hunt seals, herd reindeer and haul sleds for the Samoyede people of north western Siberia, and were treated as members of the family.

For more information about the club’s monthly pet walks, puppy inquiries or general information, visit samoyedclubvictoria.com All samoyed owners are welcome to come along and join the fun.

Two die in Rosebud bus crash Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TWO elderly women from a Rosebud West retirement home are dead after a collision between a mini bus and a sedan at Rosebud on Wednesday.

The women, aged 88 and 91, were with five other residents from Ti Tree Lodge Retirement Village travelling in Eastbourne Rd when their mini bus collided head-on with a white Holden Commodore at 9.44am.

Also on board were a female staff member and volunteer male bus driver.

A 23-year-old Coburg man was charged Friday night with two counts of culpable driving, two counts of dangerous driving causing death, reckless conduct endangering life, theft of motor vehicle and driving while disqualified.

The 88-year-old woman died at the scene while the 91-year-old, who was flown by air ambulance to The Alfred with facial and chest injuries and leg fractures, died in hospital on Thursday.

The others on the bus – including a 49-year-old staff member and 70-yearold volunteer driver – were also taken to hospital: one to The Alfred suffering pelvic injuries; four to Frankston Hospital in a stable condition and two to Dandenong Hospital also in a stable condition.

Detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit attended the crash site and closed Eastbourne Rd between Jetty Rd and Rosebud Av. Lodge managing director Chas Jacobsen said on Friday his thoughts were with everyone affected by the accident.

“Ti Tree is a community of 200

residents who have all been shaken by Wednesday’s tragedy,” Mr Jacobsen said.

“Our staff, volunteers, family members and the wider community have also been devastated by this accident.

“But we have also been heartened by the incredible amount of support, goodwill and kindness shown by the Mornington Peninsula community.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the support of so many people.

“I’m also incredibly grateful to emergency services who helped our residents, staff and volunteers at the scene, as well as at the Frankston, Dandenong and Alfred hospitals. We are so very lucky to have such dedicated police, ambulance and hospital professionals to help us in times of need and I cannot thank them enough.”

Mr Jacobsen said counselling was available to support residents, families, staff and volunteers at the Rose-

bud West centre.

He said the condition of the five other residents on the mini-bus had improved and three had returned to the facility. The staff member and volunteer who was driving the mini-bus received minor injuries.

“Our thoughts continue to be with everyone affected by the accident, and we will continue to offer support,” Mr Jacobsen said.

“Our priority is to ensure that every-

one has all of the support possible at this difficult time.

“The welfare of our residents, staff and volunteers is always paramount, so we are working hard to contact all of the families of the people on the minibus to ensure loved ones are given updates as they become available.”

Shire loses gondola bush ‘offset’ after delay GONDOLA company Skylift will “offset” proposed tree and bushland clearing on Arthurs Seat by paying to rehabilitate land outside Mornington Peninsula Shire after delays over a proposed land swap within the shire.

The move was revealed by Skylift chairman Simon McKeon soon after the company and the state government signed a 50-year lease late last month.

Mr McKeon told The News that Skylift had gone “through the usual ‘bush broker’ channels” after a proposed land swap of two areas on Arthurs Seat that would have “involved enlarging the Arthurs Seat State Park” was “not embraced by council”.

He said it was “possible that some saw it as a way of preventing our project proceeding, which was silly as we

simply solved it another way, which will assist another shire”.

Skylift has been offered a number of sites in the so-called Gippsland Plain bioregion (which includes the Mornington Peninsula) and is set to sign a deal as early as next week.

Mr McKeon revealed the proposed land swap in early 2014 at a public meeting in Dromana when he said 55 hectares of “shire-controlled” land had been identified by shire and Parks Victoria officers as a suitable vegetation offset for clearing at the gondola’s bottom station, the gondola corridor up Arthurs Seat, and the top station where about 3.7 hectares will be cleared.

The 55ha (140 acres) was given to the Shire of Flinders in 1974 when a developer subdivided land west of

Purves Rd between Seamists Drive and Waterfall Gully Rd. It is known as the Concept Spur land, is adjacent to the state park, is zoned green wedge and would unlikely ever be rezoned for homes but one lot in the subdivision sold for $1 million four years ago. This would make the 55ha worth at least $8.8 million in the unlikely event of it coming on the open market.

Concept Spur was to be swapped for government (Crown) land on the Arthurs Seat escarpment in Boundary Rd, Dromana, known as Parkdale Estate, part of which is now Hillview Community Reserve. The rest is green wedge land. It is close to Hillview Quarries’ disused Pioneer quarry, which a company associated with Hillview (with backing from the shire) wanted to use

as a rubbish tip. This was knocked on the head by the EPA two years ago.

Last year, the shire said the “potential transfer of shire-controlled land into Arthurs Seat State Park has been raised as one potential option to achieve the native vegetation offset required by this proposed development [Skylift]”. This would have the benefit of “keeping the offset in our community and may provide a higher degree of protection for the land”.

In March, Red Hill resident Mark Fancett (who stood in the Red Hill Ward by-election last year) asked about the land swap during question time at a council meeting.

“What is the status of the proposed land swap of the Concept Spur land with Parks Victoria. Has the council

or council officers discussed this land with the chairlift consortium as a potential vegetation offset?”

The question was answered by environment director Stephen Chapple (who was retrenched late last month): “There have been discussions that have occurred between council and the relevant state department, Parks Victoria, in relation to a potential transfer.

Council has been briefed on this recently; it has not come before council yet. The concept is to potentially look at investigating a like-for-like swap for the Concept Spur site in exchange of the Parkdale Estate site.

The shire has been asked for comment.

Councillors ‘working too hard’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE granting of medical leave to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Lynn Bowden last week has sparked claims councillors are under too much pressure and operating in a stressful, unhealthy environment.

Last week Cr Bowden was given leave after suffering a health scare that her husband Ron Bowden, a former state MP, says may have been caused by work stress when he spoke to The News last Thursday night.

Cr Graham Pittock had earlier told The News that councillors were operating in “an unhealthy environment� and had too much work. “We’re expected to read vast amounts of information; it’s getting out of hand,� he said.

The claims may attract cynical responses from the community but councillors have experienced major stress levels in recent times due to: ď Ž Residual bad blood from the brutal aquatic centre debacle that raged for three years with the two factions of council barely able to talk to each other. ď Ž Dumping long-time CEO Michael Kennedy and appointing Carl Cowie, who has retrenched senior managers and started profound changes in the organisation with more to come. Morale among shire staff has been battered by the departure of long-time employees, and councillors have been partly blamed for the rapid change. ď Ž Controversial and divisive major

planning issues such as the Arthurs Seat gondola chairlift – which was decided by just one vote last year – and RACV’s proposed resort at Cape Schanck, which councillors refused to vote on, fearing they would be charged with conflict of interest as some were members of the RACV Club.

Rumours about Cr Bowden have been swirling around for months after the Bowdens bought a holiday house in Perth but the claim that she had been “commuting� between the peninsula and Perth was scotched by Mr Bowden late last week. “We spent three weeks in Perth in late January before the council resumed after the summer break and have not been back since and have no plans to return,� he said. “My wife has had two serious chest infections since then, which included a stay at Frankston Hospital.�

He said she was a lifelong asthmatic.

Mr Bowden said Cr Bowden had been working very hard – up to 60 hours a week – under pressure. She had become ill recently and doctors thought she had suffered a small stroke but test revealed this was not the case but her condition remained undiagnosed and more tests were being done. “She is her normal self; bright and alert, walking and talking but has been advised to take it easy so the symptoms do not return,� he said.

Mr Bowden said councillors had an abnormally high work load in recent times.

“Watson Ward residents can direct inquiries to 5950 1428 or via email councillor.support@mornpen.vic.gov. au during Cr Bowden’s absence. Nepean Ward councillor Hugh Fraser is also available to assist Watson Ward residents and ratepayers during this period.� With David Harrison

missed two meetings, in May and July.

For one she was in Canberra for a local government conference.

On Friday afternoon, the shire announced on its website that Cr Bowden had been granted leave of absence “from August 10 until October 10 due to medical reasons�.

Cr Bowden has missed seven of the past 14 council meetings including two at the start of the year, two in April, and three between mid-July and last week when she was ill and spent several days in Frankston Hospital.

Cr Pittock has missed three meetings this year, two in March and one in May when he was on holidays interstate or overseas. The Dromana resident recently represented the shire in Ireland at his own expense when he visited Dromana House in County Waterford for the 800th anniversary, keeping alive the loose connection between the two Dromanas.

Councillors Andrew Dixon, Hugh Fraser, Tim Wood, David Gibb and Anne Shaw have all missed one meeting this year, mostly through illness, and the mayor Cr Bev Colomb has

of 11 so-called ordinary council meetings (OCMs), the main meeting of councils.

He blamed illness for missing most but said he chopped the top off a thumb with a power saw, which caused him to miss one OCM. Three years ago Pinar Yesil, a Greater Dandenong councillor and Victoria’s first Muslim mayor (200809), was booted off the council after missing four consecutive meetings when she was in Turkey for more than a month dealing with “urgent family health issues� and had not obtained formal leave of absence.

Ms Yesil migrated to Australia from Turkey as a teenager and was a rising star in the ALP. Ironically, during her term as mayor, Ms Yesil implemented a charter to make councillors more accountable to the community by publishing monthly expenses and attendance reports online.

MOST Victorian councillors are diligent and attend dozens of meetings and briefings each year.

Our elected representatives are required by law to not miss four council meetings in a row unless they have obtained formal leave of absence, which can be approved by their colleagues in cases such as illness or injury.

The shire council has had a good attendance record in recent years although recent absences have seen more councillors missing meetings than usual.

In late 2013, former Red Hill Ward councillor Frank Martin took extended leave because of illness.

He was absent for more than six months before resigning and forcing a by-election last August when retired County Court judge Tim Wood was elected.

Further afield, Kingston councillor John Ronke, an 18-year council veteran, attended nine of 21 meetings last year including four

Bands into battle

Nabbed in the loo A SUSPECTED burglar hid from police in a Rosebud foreshore toilet block on Tuesday before being arrested.

The man, 26, of Rosebud, was wanted for allegedly forcing his way into the Rye home of an elderly couple, Friday 7 August, claiming he was looking for a lost dog.

Police say he grabbed an 80-yearold woman by the throat and forced her back into the hallway, but fled when the woman’s husband came to her aid.

Detective Sergeant John Coburn, of Rosebud CIU, said police spotted the man outside a Rosebud supermarket and gave chase as he cycled across Pt Nepean Rd and onto the beach.

After a short struggle, in which the man was pepper sprayed, he was arrested and charged with aggravated burglary. He has been remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 25 August.

Liberals remain divided on same-sex marriage Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au DEEP divisions within the Liberal Party over the legalisation of samesex marriage have been mirrored in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula with local federal Liberal MPs Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt at odds on the contentious subject.

Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt declined to be publicly outed as a supporter of same-sex marriage when asked by The News whether he supports its legalisation.

Mr Hunt was coy last week about his stance on the issue despite being named as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a same-sex marriage supporterâ&#x20AC;? in recent months by the The Australian and The Age newspapers and the ABC. Rather than answer the question Mr Hunt directed electorate office staff to refer The News to comments he made to David Speers on Sky News last Wednesday (12 August), the day after Liberal and National MPs spent six hours locked in behind closed doors talks to formulate a Coalition policy on the legalisation of same-sex marriage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a particular preference and that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come about,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hunt said in the Sky News interview.

Mr Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to publicly declare his opinion on same-sex marriage is the second time in as many months that the Coalition frontbencher has not answered a direct question from The News about his views on the matter.

Early last month Mr Hunt said he supported â&#x20AC;&#x153;a free vote (a conscience vote)â&#x20AC;? taking place whereby all federal Liberal MPs would be allowed to vote based on individual views rather than

The at odds couple: Liberal cabinet colleagues Bruce Billson, left, and Greg Hunt, pictured on Mr Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500km sponsored Walk for Autism last month, favour different paths on the legalisation of same-sex marriage debate.

Dunkley against SSM?

along party lines (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Same-sex marriage views differâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The News 7/7/15).

Prime Minister Tony Abbott, a long-time opponent of the legalisation of same-sex marriage, is understood to have stared down any party room suggestions for a free vote for Liberal MPs and instead favours a national plebiscite or referendum if the government wins a second term.

Dunkley MP and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson is on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Team Abbottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with regards to same-sex marriage, telling The News he backed the Coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy of â&#x20AC;&#x153;maintaining the current definition of marriageâ&#x20AC;? since this was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the undertaking given by the Coalition and many other members of parliament going into the last electionâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe and understand that people should be able to love the adult their heart wants them to love,â&#x20AC;?

Mr Billson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are very genuine strongly held yet diametrically opposed views on same sex marriage in most communities, including ours. These differing, heartfelt views expressed to me by members of the community were also reflected during the respectful

six hour meeting held with my Liberal and National colleagues.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Billson favours â&#x20AC;&#x153;the formal recognition of same sex relationshipsâ&#x20AC;? and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;going to a process after the next election that puts the question [on legalising same-sex marriage] to the people enables all individuals to have their sayâ&#x20AC;?.

His cabinet colleague Mr Hunt also tried to maintain a positive front about divisions within the Coalition, telling Sky News: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like deeply the idea of Australians and every Australian having the opportunity to participate in a grand democratic action.â&#x20AC;?

While the federal Liberal Party squabbles internally over the legalisation of same-sex marriage, Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten has vowed to enact legislation to legalise same-sex marriage within 100 days of Labor winning government.

Mr Shorten and Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus attended a marriage equality rally in Melbourne on Saturday (15 August) and the opposition leader said Labor would follow the likes of the UK and the US and legalise same-sex marriage without a plebiscite or referendum.

THE majority of voters who have expressed an opinion on same-sex marriage to Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson oppose its legalisation according to the Small Business Minister.

While appearing on ABC 774â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drive show last Wednesday (12 August) Mr Billson claimed correspondence to his electorate office suggested most Dunkley electorate residents want to keep the existing definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know in my electorate, two to one is the number that want the definition left the way it is,â&#x20AC;? Mr Billson told Drive show host Rafael Epstein.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;caller Steve from Frankstonâ&#x20AC;? subsequently challenged Mr Billson live on air and asked the Dunkley MP to substantiate the claim.

Mr Billson said the statistic was arrived at from â&#x20AC;&#x153;emails, correspondence and calls to my office from my electorateâ&#x20AC;?.

When contacted by The News on Friday last week Mr Billson revealed there have been 634 calls and emails to his office on the subject of same-sex marriage with 105 supporting samesex marriage and 529 â&#x20AC;&#x153;for maintaining the status quoâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears I had actually been understating the views expressed by saying publicly in the past it was more than two to one, when in fact it appears to be six one,â&#x20AC;? Mr Billson said.

The caller from Frankston who challenged Mr Billson on ABC radio last week is Steve Toms, a Labor Party member and marriage equality advocate, who introduced himself to Mr Billson and fellow Drive show guest federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;familiar to both Mark and Bruceâ&#x20AC;?.

Pier ending a far cry from capital worries FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt was back in the political fast lane on Monday, in Canberra for the Liberal party room’s vote for a Speaker to replace Bronwyn Bishop.

Three days before that he had been standing at the end of Cowes pier after completing his 19-day Walk for Autism. His walk to raise $25,000 for Amaze (Autism Victoria) and the Abacus Learning Centre, Hastings, took him 500 kilometres through his electorate, which includes the southern Mornington Peninsula and Western Port, including Phillip Island.

While on his walk Mr Hunt was publicly absent from being involved in the controversy surrounding Mrs Bishop’s extensive travel expenses.

In neighbouring Dunkley, Mr Hunt’s

Woodhams O’Keeffe & Co L A W Y E R S

Liberal colleague Bruce Billson assured ABC radio listeners that Mrs Bishop “will do the right thing”. This same sentiment was also expressed by the Prime Minister Tony Abbott for the next day or so, until Mrs Bishop announced she was “sorry” and would leave the Speaker’s chair. Neither Mr Billson or Mr Abbott would be dcrawn on what they thought the “right thing” was.

Comparisons between Mr Hunt’s walk around his electorate – if publicised nationally - would no doubt have rivalled that of Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull who was all too willing to be seen disembarking from a train to Geelong, a stark contrast to Mrs Bishop’s helicopter flight to the same city.

Mr Hunt was also able to miss last week’s Cabinet meeting in Adelaide which preceded the announcement by Mr Abbott of a shipbuilding package that will help unemployment in South Australia. There was no promise to save jobs in Victoria’s ailing shipbuilding sector.

The hue and cry surrounding Monday’s election of Casey MP Tony Smith to the Speaker’s chair must have seemed a world away from Mr Hunt’s stroll around the highways and byways of Flinders.

The walk - likely to exceed its $25,000 target - will have a direct benefit for those affected by autism.

Mr Smith’s party room election was all about politics and appearances.

Puma fuel depot decision will depend on study outcome DESPITE buying land at Hastings, Puma Energy says it is conducting a feasibility study before deciding on using it for a fuel storage and distribution depot.

No permit applications have been lodged with Mornington Peninsula Shire, although any approval could be required to include detailed traffic reports, flora and fauna surveys, and cultural heritage and management plans.

The use of the land for a fuel tank farm would appear to fit in with the state government’s stated wish that the Port of Hastings be increasingly used for the import and export of “bulk” goods, such as gas, fuel and, possibly, brown coal.

Puma paid $2.2 million for eight hectares of land in Bayview Rd and is believed to have already held discussions with Esso Australia about using the Long Island Point jetty to bring ashore its imported fuels.

“Puma Energy can confirm we have purchased eight hectares of land on Bayview Rd, Hastings. This site has the potential to become a fuel import terminal, however we are in the very early stages of a feasibility study and will not be able to confirm the site’s use until this assessment has been completed,” Christie Patten, of Cole Lawson Communications, told The News.

The Brisbane-based public relations

News that Puma Energy had bought land at Hastings for a fuel storage and distribution centre came in the same week that maintenance workers at nearby Esso were taking industrial action against longer shifts, roster changes and staff cuts.

company said it was too early to give details of the size of the proposed tank farm or how many ships could be expected to bring fuel to the depot.

Neither the Port of Hastings Development Authority nor Esso would say if they had been in talks with Puma Energy.

The shire’s statutory planning manager Niall Sheehy said the shire did not “currently have an application in

Bayview Rd but we have an application for 5 Barclay Crescent (which becomes Bayview Rd) to extend an existing fuel depot”.

“An application of this nature [Puma’s] will be advertised and referred to a number of internal [shire] departments for comments as well as WorkCover.”

An industry insider said Esso had been approached

by Puma, which would need a pipe to the tank farm.

LIVE YOUR DREAMS WITH $10,000!

The jetty used by Esso is owned by the state government but Esso would need to be fully involved in the proposal. The government also owns the jetty at Crib Point, which United Petroleum uses to import petroleum products.

At the end of Long Island Drive are two gates – one on Crown land leading to the jetty and one at the entrance to Esso.

The insider told The News Puma would likely bring into Western Port 15 ships a year of about 40,000 tonnes each, a ship every 24 days.

Taking each load of fuel from the proposed tank farm on Bayview Rd opposite BlueScope’s mill would require 1000 B-double trucks, each carrying about 40 tonnes. There would be 30 truck trips each day to and from Hastings with the vehicles likely to use Frankston-Flinders Rd between Hastings and the Baxter on-ramp of Peninsula Link. This would take the trucks through Tyabb and Somerville.

The state government is already being pressured to complete the duplication of Western Port Highway to take industrial traffic off FrankstonFlinders Rd, which passes through several residential and shopping areas. The road is single lane each way between North Rd at Pearcedale and the roundabout just north of Hastings.

Puma arrived in Australia about three years ago. The Swiss company has embarked on an expansion program that will see it spend up to $250 million on storage and distribution infrastructure as the major oil refinery companies withdraw from Australia.

Puma’s major shareholders include Trafigura, and Angola’s national oil company.

Just a small jar – that takes the biscuit!

By David Harrison FOR council watchers, the shire’s austerity drive is plain to see. It’s the biscuits. Now only a small jar accompanies the pre-meeting tea and coffee, a small jar bereft of cream treats.

The gallery arrives at an hour where dinner merely beckons from the distant other side of the meeting closure, to find entry barred. And, once inside, not a cream bikkie to sustain oneself.

One shivers in the cold, dark and rain, beating futilely with whitened knuckles on the locked armoured glass door (CW tends to gaudy prose when hypothermic), callously ignored by those inside luxuriating in the warmth, who at the 10 August meeting including Fred Crump of Mornington, world traveller and veteran inquisitor on the state of the Mornington clock on the Barkly St roundabout.

So there was Fred, on the other side of the glass, questions in one hand, gesturing with a shrug that he could not help us accomplish ingress. Was that a triumphant smirk? Was that a half-devoured biscuit he was hiding in his other hand? We discovered he was gloating over the English Ashes victory.

But CW is not one for lingering bitterness, unless deprived of a cream biscuit. (Did he mention the small, poorly stocked jar?) The size of the meeting agenda drove such matters from his mind. As did the prospect of Fred’s questions.

Meeting under way, CW decided that the prayer needs a rewrite. The “Thys” must go, as verily they have been banished from the New English Bible. And we need to know what the evacuation alarm sounds like, in case a speedy egress from the chamber becomes necessary. Perhaps we should have a practice evacuation once a year.

Briefings and petitions out of the way, we came to questions. Sure enough, Fred Crump weighed in, on the local government federal conference held in Canberra, which was attended by the mayor Cr Bev Colomb. What “good tidings” had she brought back to the peninsula, he

asked, or had it been a “futile junket”?

It was a cornucopia, the mayor replied, comprising environmental, social and economic goodies, plus national broadband network tidings of great joy, and other bits and pieces including carbon neutrality initiatives and news on the arts, “which we were hoping to attract more funding to”. CW frowns on sentences that end in prepositions. Up with them he will not put.

Then the second Crump question, on the topic of war pigeons, 33 of which were awarded the Victoria Cross. Could a war memorial be built in Mornington at shire expense to commemorate them, he asked, as the RSL says it has no money.

Two pigeons were Australian-bred. Cr Colomb said she would take the matter up with the RSL. Would the pigeons prefer the “For Valour” medal – made from Crimean War cannon bronze and massively hindering their flight – to a bonus bushel of bespoke grain for the lads in the loft?

There was once a Melbourne broadsheet that had a loft atop its Collins St building to receive carrier pigeons that flew from ships arriving at Queenscliff with the latest news stowed in canisters attached to their legs – the new technology of the 19th century. They beat their rivals by a day with this system. Now news flies across the globe in milliseconds.

Four questions on the Skylift gondola project followed, on trees, explosives, emergency plans and loss of flora and fauna. This topic, and elements of these questions, appear in a report elsewhere in these pages. The shire played a straight bat, referring to VCAT’s approval of the Skylift plans in a solid defence invoking the “it’s all their

doing” line. The councillor arc was substantially depleted, with David Gibb and Anne Shaw missing from the conservative ranks and Lynn Bowden, absent from the progressive-ish side.

Meeting chair Cr Colomb used her casting vote once or twice during the meeting, which covered the shire’s carbon neutrality policy and, again, the never-ending and testily contested Skylift saga.

Hunger gripped CW’s vittles when Item 5, Councillors and Delegates Reports, was announced. He made no excuse and left; hot homemade soup and toast awaited.

Check burn plans PENINSULA residents can see online the state government’s 2015-16 fire operations plan, which identifies proposed actions to reduce fire risk.

The plan will be online until it is finalised in late September. It is part of a “three-year rolling plan to reduce bushfire risk this coming summer and beyond”, said Dan White of the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

To comment on the plan, email planned. burning@delwp.vic.gov.au or call DELWP on 136 186.

Watch out for a roadside rambler MARSUPIALS are on the move. It's nearly spring and koalas are out and about. This koala has been grazing in a small eucalypt on a roadside in Mt Martha.

However, other koalas across the Mornington Peninsula not faring so well.

Generally they’re safe in the trees but, once on the ground, can easily be injured.

Koalas get attacked by dogs, hit by cars and sometimes burnt by power lines.

Jennie Bryant runs a koala hospital at Tyabb and sees “all sorts of hideous

things” afflicting the animals, from burns to amputated legs. “I sometimes cry all the way home,” she says of night time calls to stricken koalas.

Her Koala Rescue and Rehabilitation Hospital admits up to 180 koalas a year and has “a 50-50 survival rate, which is a lot better than nothing”.

The catchment for her patients is peninsula-wide and Ms Bryant works under the philosophy that “they [the animals] were here first”.

THE Arthurs Seat gondola may return to the state planning tribunal – and shire councillors – over a query about whether VCAT made an “accidental slip” in its decision on the project’s emergency plan.

A separate VCAT hearing is already pending, on Skylift’s chosen gondola colour. This matter will be heard on 11 September.

Now anti-gondola lobby group Save Our Seat has asked the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to clarify when the emergency plan should be approved by Mornington Peninsula Shire – before work begins on the $18 million project or before the ride starts operating?

The tribunal’s decision contains two conflicting references about the emergency management plan, it has been claimed.

VCAT’s “accidental slip” occurs in the condition dealing with “Bushfire/ Emergency Management Plan”. VCAT states the plan must be approved “prior to the commencement of the use” of Skylift, that is, after construction ends.

But in its discussion of fire hazard it states the plan should be approved “before the development commences as there may be matters ... that require refinements to other components of the proposal”.

This conforms with the shire’s original permit condition, which states that a bushfire emergency plan must be approved “prior to the commencement of works”. However, councillors were

told at the 10 August council meeting that the plan would need to be approved “prior to the use of the gondola … to the satisfaction of council”. This position would have to be changed if VCAT decides it slipped up in the wording of its condition.

The two matters could delay the start of work.

VCAT came in for stringent criticism over the way the Skylift matter was handled.

VCAT gave permission for 26 trees to be removed, lopped or pruned but councillors were told by shire planners that a Skylift report had identified 82 trees that may require removal or modifying, an increase of more than 215 per cent. Ten trees would be retained, the report stated.

The report said 39 trees would be removed but the rest would need to be inspected again after the ride had been built.

Cr Graham Pittock questioned officers about the “very high bushfire” danger and the plan to evacuate “maybe 300” gondola passengers to the upper station, with its “very low” bushfire rating.

“How can you evacuate people to that building that basically has no fire proofing to it? Are we opening ourselves up to liability for accepting that [low bushfire] rating?” he asked.

Shire planner Niall Sheehy said emergency services had agreed the appropriate rating was bushfire attack level 12.5. An expert witness at VCAT had confirmed this was appropriate.

Mr Sheehy said that unlike a standard house, the two gondola stations each had a static water supply of

40,000 litres and cleared areas around them. The gondola would close on Code Red days.

Opposing the shire officers’ recommendation that the council approve the revised gondola corridor plan for tree removal or trimming, Cr Hugh Fraser took aim at VCAT. “We are part of a process that has been forced on us by VCAT,” he said, “which is an entirely unsatisfactory process that has been arrived at.”

He spoke about “71 conditions dealing with a whole range of vital issues that … should have been properly agitated before VCAT in the first place”.

“There is something very, very wrong with a planning process [in which] this occurs. The material should be before VCAT in the first place [so] the matter is decided properly then and there on sufficient materials.”

Cr Fraser said the tribunal “has created what you might call a pathway to a permit, which is ultimately granted by the 71 conditions”.

“Even our own plans prescribe conditions to deal with the difficulties with the material that is provided … if we didn’t have problem material in the first place we wouldn’t be in this terrible tangle.

“The uncertainty of this absolutely beggars description. It is beyond belief that it cannot be worked out with certainty and brought before this council [so it has] proper material to work out with certainty what trees are to be removed.”

The recommendation was approved 5-3, with councillors Lynn Bowden, David Gibb and Anne Shaw absent from the meeting.

LETTERS Return the plan There have been statements made by Cr Tim Rodgers and letters to the editor regarding the state government’s decision to cancel the contract of the inappropriate development of Point Nepean relating to paying out contracts.

It should be remembered that Parks Victoria under the previous Labor government had a well-developed tourist accommodation plan which was to provide for upkeep and sustainable management of the park This would have incurred considerable cost to taxpayers when cancelled by the Liberal government and may have been in excess of $1,000,000.

Hopefully, that plan will be reinstated for the benefit of the people of Victoria and flora and fauna, rather than private developers As for developer’s promises, the Melbourne Maritime Museum as part of the Southbank development was to be half as big again as the old site (as promised by developers)and ended up only half the original size, resulting in the loss of Victoria ‘s expansive maritime history There also appears to be an undercurrent that anyone who has environmental concerns is some sort of eccentric.

There are many who want to leave our planet ‘s natural world for future generations to enjoy John Trewarne, Rye

Who’s in charge?

If there was any doubt as to who is in control of the state government’s policy in respect of Victorian national parks, Chris Smyth’s recent letter on behalf the Victorian National Parks Association categorically confirms that it is not the government (“Point planning”, Letters 11/8/15).

I found it extraordinary that Mr Smyth was able to make specific reference to a clause in a contract that it is not a party to. Assuming the Point Leisure Group did not provide a the VNPA with a copy of its contract with the state, you must therefore come to the conclusion that it was the environment minister that chose to do this as, from my research, the contract is

plan that will see Team Australia maintain its position on the emissions reduction ladder.

As we are near the very bottom of the ladder, I’m not sure they have grasped the fundamentals of team leadership or responsibility. Do they understand this game at all? The answer seems to be “no”. On an individual player basis we are currently the worst in the league for emissions and coach Hunt’s plan seems to be to improve our individual performance until we are worst in the world.

Coach Hunt isn’t up to the job and Chair Abbott is caught in the past – and not just in respect of emissions reduction. Mr Abbott’s stance on changes to equality tennis and his insistence that Team Australia field teams only in the mixed doubles is sadly out of touch. His continued promotion of the use of coal supplements to enhance Team Australia’s performance has caught the eye of the international community and could see us banned from the competition.

To avoid Team Australia’s relegation to the amateurs, it is time to sack the coach and chair and replace the board at the next AGM. Greg Gilbert, Mt Eliza

Of boats and unions currently not publicly available. So why would the state government do this unless it wanted the VNPA to assume control of developing its policy position for Point Nepean.

With Mr Smyth being categoric that the VNPA sees no role for the private development in the restoration of the historic Quarantine Station, you have to wonder whether a revised Point Nepean master plan will include any commercially invested and operated accommodation and associated facilities, if the final decision for any proposed commercial activity within Point Nepean rests with the VNPA. Perhaps the tail has wagged the dog on this issue so vigorously, it has managed to make the body of the dog completely irrelevant or perhaps even redundant.

Stuart Allen, Dromana

More than a game I was disappointed, but not surprised, by Team Australia’s press conference last Tuesday outlining our game plan for the Emissions Reduction Cup in Paris later this year. But one must at least acknowledge coach Greg Hunt’s impressive use of graphics – colour and movement can be a handy distraction at times, particularly when you have little to say or are delivering bad news.

It was pleasing to see Team Australia chair Tony Abbott there, as he has previously told us he didn’t really think Team Australia needed to participate in this international event.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right. Coach Hunt and Team Australia chair Tony Abbott are very happy with our current performance and have a

I read with interest (“Liberal airing”, Letters 11/8/15) the opinions of Ken Dyer, who talks about the fact of how many asylum seekers died (877 souls under the Labor government’s watch). Ken then goes on to complain that the Liberal government is wrong in turning back the boats. What is the fact about how many asylum seekers have drowned since the Liberal government stopped the boats from arriving here?

Obviously the new policy is working. Even the Labor leader agrees it is a better policy.

While I agree that that we need to have compassion and understanding for asylum seekers, we also have a right to know who we are welcoming to our country and we need to be in a position to support them. There are only so many tax dollars for our governments to spend and, unfortunately, they don’t come from a bottomless pit.

New app connecting teachers and schools A SMART new app connecting casual relief teachers and schools has recently been launched in Melbourne’s south-east.

The EzStaff app has been developed by Mornington Peninsula IT teacher, Evan Rutherford. The app enables teachers to create a personalised profile that is instantly visible to a wide range of schools, to dictate their own availability through an online calendar, and to decide how far they wish to travel to and from work. The EzStaff app then automatically scans teacher’s calendars and only the profiles of available CRT’S on the day become visible to schools. School managers view these profiles, match the skills and experience of the teacher to their needs and book their teacher quickly, without cost.

As a relief teacher manager, Evan saw the need for the app after becoming frustrated with the early morning ‘ring around’ to find teacher replacements. He also wanted to create a resource that was sympathetic to the needs of both schools and teachers.

“That is why there is no charge for schools to register and use the EzStaff app. Registration is also free to CRT’s and there is only a nominal charge payable on acceptance of a confirmed booking which enables us to operate EzStaff,” said Evan. “The initial response from schools and teachers has been very encouraging with a growing number of schools and teachers registering to join the EzStaff Community”.

Patrika Rowley, Deputy Principal at St. Joseph’s School Sorrento, says that, “EzStaff has been a great relief for me in organising CRT’s at our school. It is always tricky to get good relief teachers down here and this tool will save me time and money”.

Schools and CRT’s wishing to register or find out more can go to www.EzStaff.com.au

LETTERS Although I have some respect for the work of unions and the job they do in advocating for employees, last night I was most upset to receive an automated call from the Electrical Trades Union spreading mistruths about the free trade agreement signed with China. The call claimed Australian Chinese companies will have unrestricted access to Chinese workers for major projects, threatening Australian jobs. As someone who follows these things closely I know this is completely false: The agreement will not allow unrestricted access to the Australian labour market by Chinese workers. It will not allow Australian employment laws or conditions to be undermined. This kind of false marketing by the ETU should be investigated.

Eliza Foster, Mt Eliza

Wages penalty From my view eliminating penalty rates will lead to lower wages for already the lowest paid workers, women and students.

I don’t believe it will necessarily mean more people employed. The money will be pocketed by the employers and not extra employment.

I remember when so-called equal pay was first mooted, the detractors said the life we knew was going to be a disaster. All these years later some women are still not getting equal pay for equal work. If the outcome of the Productivity Commission’s recent report on Australia’s workplace relations framework is implemented, the net result will be lower wages and fewer commodities sold.

What do most low income people do with their wages? Spend. Not only on necessities of life but, if there’s any extra, they buy cloths, books and reduce their HEC’s fees.

When is there going to be an inquiry into the excesses of CEOs who, in my opinion, are over paid for the job they do even if the company they are in charge of is not making its way, suc as Australia Post.

While running a B&B I had the privilege of having a former CEO of Woolworths stay who told me his salary was based on being not more than 10 times that of the company’s lowest paid

worker.

When are the banks, local governments and, dare I say, parliamentarians, going to work seven days or perhaps nights, for no extra pay?

We have over recent weeks seen how the age of entitlement is alive and well for the hoy ploy.

I also remember when seven day a week trading was introduced and how that was going increase productivity and more jobs. I am sure if there was a review it also would be a proved a fallacy.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Unexpected reaction Wow! I expected some response to my letter (“Liberal support”, 4/8/15 ) but your readers sure jumped to Labor’s defence in a big way. First, a very well researched letter from Ken Dyer (“Liberal airing”, 11/8/15 ) that I would have found compelling reading, if it was not for the fact that on the day the paper hit the stands, a report, commissioned by Labor when in government, was published in the city papers and I quote “Labor’s plan to cut carbon emissions by 40 to 60 per cent by 2030 would deliver a devastating blow to the economy, stopping $600 billion from economic growth over the next 15 years.

It would also cost tens of thousands of jobs, a 2013 Treasury and Department of Industry and Climate Change modelling report has revealed.”

I think I will rest my case on that issue. While on the subject of Mr Dyer, I stand corrected on my statement that there were no boats in the last 12 months, as it seems that someone saw a boat, apparently carrying Vietnamese ( according to John Cain, “Do-nothing Liberals”, Letters 11/8/15. ) that were taken to Sri Lanka. I bet the Sri Lankans were happy about that.

The whole point of my letter was to point out what a wonderful country we live in, where freedom of speech is a given and no matter what party we support, we can have our say and be safe from retribution.

My last word must go to Denise Hassett ( “Failed Captain”, Letters 11/8/15). There is a saying as old as politics itself: The only poll that matters is on election day and, on that day, a majority of your fellow Australians certainly

disagreed with you.

Michael Free, Mt Martha

Citizenship bid I totally agree with everything Douglas McClary wrote (“Would-be citizen”, Letters 4/8/15). My wife and I have lived in Australia for 10 years on 410 visas. We have committed to this country, we actually chose to live here and would dearly like to show our committment by becoming citizens, but are prevented from doing so.

I was interested to read Douglas’ comment about [Dunkley MP] Bruce Billson’s disappointing attitude on the subject of temporary residents. I would like to report on the view of Flinders MP Greg Hunt (my local MP) on the subject, but his secretary would not even grant me an audience with him to discuss the matter.

Unfortunately I am not able to vote for his opponent at the next election as we temporary residents are not allowed to vote, despite the taxes we are obliged to pay. So much for the Eureka Stockade mantra of “No taxation without representation.”

So please, dear readers, support Ian Goodenough’s campaign to enable us to get full residency and then citizenship. The government seems to have a hang-up about giving us Medicare cover, but that is not what we are seeking.

We already have to have private medical cover and are happy to continue that way.

All we want is to be fully a part of the beautiful country in we chose to live.

Stephen Pratt, Bittern

Trawling for fact Over the past six months I have been trying to ascertain [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s position on the “supertrawler” (as it is known) the, renamed Geelong Star.

There is much controversy over this very large fishing trawler being allowed to operate in Australian waters and, clearly, it does catch an enormous amount of fish species and, in the process, bycatch - species that are not the target of the trawler. Unfortunately, much of this bycatch perishes in the process.

Greg Hunt has replied to my question about

why such a huge fishing trawler, (98 meters) is allowed to operate in Australian waters. His emailed answer was that it was a bi-partisan agreement by the Coalition, the ALP and the Greens that the “definition” of 130 meters was to be set as the upper limit of such a trawler to operate in Australian waters.

The Greens have categorically denied that they agreed to such a definition and have told me they do not believe the Geelong Star should be allowed to operate in Australian waters.

So here we have our local federal MP saying one thing and the Greens (emailed to me from Senator Whish Wilson) denying they made such an agreement.

Are the Greens and Greg Hunt prepared to put in writing the facts of this issue? Because, as I said, it appears the truth is not being told.

Andrew Raff, Ry

Pollies united Finally something that our federal representatives can work together on with a united front.

No insults or accusations going back and forth on this one. Hate, animosity and party politics have been put aside.

They are circling the wagons and going out of their way to support the entitlements spending scandal. Spending is not illegal and morals have nothing to do with the issue.

The bi-partisan legislative committee on entitlement investigation has been established and named: “Aggrandised, Prevaricating Investigation Governing, Tumescent Relegation of Uniform Grievous Honourariums!”

de Kraan New head: Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer is chair of the South East Melbourne Group of Councils.

Regional plan joint effort Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au COUNCILS have decided there is strength in numbers with the launch of a South East Melbourne Group of Councils regional plan to push the region’s case for business investment, jobs and more education opportunities.

The SEM Group of Councils includes Frankston, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Kingston, Casey, Bass Coast, Cardinia and Greater Dandenong councils.

Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer has been elected chair of the SEM Group of Councils for a 12-month term until November on a rotational basis.

She said the four-year regional plan brings together seven municipalities to find common ground to collectively lobby federal and state governments and the private sector to invest in the South East Melbourne region.

“The South East Melbourne region is welcoming around 120 new families each week, with our population expected to pass one million by 2030, and this means we need the state government committing to infrastructure and job-generating projects now,” Cr Mayer said.

“The Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island are two of Victoria’s premier destinations, while 30 per cent of all shipping containers from the Port of Melbourne end up in South East Melbourne, so development linked to tourism and shipping are certainly areas we will be pushing hard, including the Port of Hastings expansion.”

The chances of a container port at an expanded Port of Hastings, pushed by the previous Coalition state government, seem remote, after the Andrews government agreed to a “no compete for at least 50 years” clause in a plan to lease the Port of Melbourne.

The state government has instead earmarked Hastings to be used as a “bulk” port, adding processed brown coal to the existing trade in petroleum products and natural gas.

Despite the government stance, the south east councils hope the plan for a container port at Hastings is not completely dead since they see the project as a boost to business in the region.

Infrastructure Victoria has been tasked by the

state government with investigating whether a container port at Hastings or Bay West near Geelong is most practical.

The SEM Group’s regional plan, released last week, “supports a polycentric city approach” and nominates Dandenong, Frankston and Narre Warren-Fountain Gate as “centres for employment” to ease pressure on public transport since “a high proportion of our residents travel long distances to find suitable employment”.

Delays in rolling out high-speed broadband internet services have also been identified in the plan as “an impediment to economic growth”.

Other aims of the regional plan include:  Establishment of a manufacturing connectivity centre in Dandenong South  Progress the planning for South Eastern Airport  Funding for east-west road linkages including upgrading and extension of Thompsons Rd through to Pakenham  Upgrade the Frankston transit interchange, including the train station, and redevelopment of surrounding land The plan is pushing for the establishment of “a regional boating facility” in Frankston despite Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden admitting a boating marina at Olivers Hill is a lower priority than other infrastructure projects.

Tourism is also been pushed as a growth industry for Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula as part of the regional plan.

Cr Mayer and Mornington Peninsula Shire deputy mayor Graham Pittock and council officers attended a Victorian Visitor Information Centre Summit at the RACV Cape Schanck resort organised by the Victoria Tourism Industry Council.

Shire business development team leader Tania Treasure said “the summit is a great economic benefit to our region, attracting 120 delegates from throughout Victoria to our region at a time of the year that is traditionally quiet for our tourism industry”.

Ms Treasure said council representatives visited tourism businesses during the summit held on 12-14 August to learn about “best practice in managing and operating a visitor information centre and trends in servicing our visitors”.

Understand ‘chaos’ disorder for recovery Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au ITS very name means those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can face criticism and families can also be stigmatised.

The word ‘borderline’ tends to make many think there is not really anything wrong with someone diagnosed with BDP and an individual’s ‘personality’ is often judged by others.

In fact, the ‘borderline’ aspect refers to the disorder being on the borderline of psychosis and neurosis and the causes of BDP are not yet fully understood.

For those facing life with the mental disorder the road to recovery can be paved with criticism and others not taking the condition seriously.

BPD sufferers often self-harm, engage in impulsive “self-sabotaging” behaviour, suffer relationship problems and can be at risk of suicide in extreme cases.

A new support group for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula families aims to battle the stigma and offer help to families who are affected by BPD. Anne Reeve, the founder of National Education Alliance BPD in Australia, says it may be preferable to call the mental disorder “emotional dysregulation” since BPD is an inability to regulate emotions.

NEA BPD is a US based organisation and Ms Reeves says the group are world leaders in research, education and specialist programs around BPD. “Families suffer from no direction

in Australia. BPD mostly emerges in late childhood and early adolescence,” she said.

“It’s controversial to diagnose BDP in Australia for someone under the age of 20 because it’s believed your personality doesn’t form until you’re 25 but it’s important to get an early diagnosis. If you get an early diagnosis you can get appropriate treatment.

“Unfortunately the name borderline personality disorder is a name that invokes fear in the hearts of everyone ... there’s a huge stigma.”

The Family Connections program, hosted over 12 weeks early next month

by Peninsula Health in Frankston, is based on dialectical behaviour therapy to recognise and change destructive patterns of behaviour to offer BPD sufferers and their families a way to cope with the mental illness.

Mind Australia family practitioner Kristine Clements, who will head up the Frankston program, knows all too well the stigma associated with BPD, having struggled with her daughter’s disorder.

“The system does tend to blame families. Those with BPD don’t respond to most therapies or medication and get put in the troublemaker basket.”

The Langwarrin resident says being unable to regulate emotions means BDP sufferers have “an inability not to react to an emotion. Whatever they feel is ‘times 10’.”

Ms Clements says family members should understand “it’s not their fault but with certain information they can improve the quality of life for themselves and their families.”

“The idea of the course is families

come to improve their own ability to manage what’s happening and with that there’s a flow-on effect,” she said.

She said parents are not to blame.

“You might be treating all your children the same way because you don’t know and you’re upsetting the child with BPD and exacerbating the situation.

“Families who have been involved in causing harm to a child are not the families who come to our course. We all, as parents, unwittingly do things that can be really invalidating for someone with a BPD.” The Family Connections program is designed specifically to support family members and help them understand the disorder and the chaos when the illness impacts on those closest to a BPD sufferer.

Ms Reeve said families should speak to a GP about BDP and ask for a referral to a specialist.

“There are treatments now that can cure about 70 per cent of people with borderline personality disorder so the really important message is there is hope you can lead a normal and fulfilling life if you’re diagnosed with BPD.” Family Connections classes will be held at Peninsula Health, 4 Spray St, Frankston from 1 September on 12 consecutive Tuesday evenings, 6-8pm.

See bpdaustralia.com or call Anne Reeve on 0408 561 983 for further program information and booking details. The program is free.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Municipal election next Thursday Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE winning number for the pony won

by Mr John E. Jones, of Moorooduc for Red Cross Fund is 257. T. Brown, Naval Base, Crib Point. The net proceeds are £20. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a special horse and cattle sale on Monday next, commencing at noon, in the Cricklewood farm yard, near the Frankston Railway Station, when a good yarding of both horses and cattle is expected.

The list booked up to time of going to press is advertised in another column. On Saturday next the same firm will sell on account of the owner on the premises, Racecourse Farm, Frankston, cattle, farm implements and sundries. The sale will commence at 2 o’clock, the particulars of which are advertised *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Wednesday evening in the Mechanics’ Hall. A full report of the proceedings will appear in our next issue. *** ON Tuesday evening Mr W. P. Mason will address the ratepayers in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall at 8 o’clock, and at the conclusion of his address Mr A. Clements will express his views on municipal matters. *** THE hon. sec. of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund (Dr Plowman) desires to acknowledge the receipt of

the sum of £3 11s 9d from Mrs W. H. O’Gredy. This handsome amount was realised by her sale of golliwogs, made by herself. *** THE members of the Wattle Club have made elaborate arrangements to entertain a large number of returned wounded soldiers at Clarendon House this afternoon. Tea is to be provided between 3 and 4 o’clock, after which the public are cordially invited. *** The Peninsula Motor Garage Proprietory, Ltd, wish to notify that they have changed the name of the company from the Frankston Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. They have been established about 18 months at Frankston, and have also opened a garage at Mornington. They have a good supply of cars at both places, and may be rung up at any hour, either night or day. They are also agents for the Buick and Grant cars, and keep a good supply of all motor accessories in stock. *** MR and Mrs Sheridan were tendered a social evening at the Prince of Wales Hotel on the 9th inst., on their return from their honeymoon trip to the Gippsland Lakes and Buchan Caves.

Mrs Garrood, sen. received them in the drawing-room, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Mr C. P. Watson proposed the toast of the happy pair, and a most pleasant evening was spent. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co. will hold a large property and clearing sale at

Shoreham on Friday next, on account of Messrs Arthur and John Penman, who have sold their property.

The property consists of an 80 acre well improved and compact farm, subdivided into 8 paddocks on which is erected a 5 roomed W.B house, and numerous out buildings.

The whole of the stock implements and furniture will also be placed under the hammer. *** OFFICIAL news has been received this week from the Secretary of Defence of a number of the lads of the peninsula having received wounds while fighting at the Dardanelles.

While the news is bad, we must take comfort that it is not worse.

The following are amongst the number:—Second-Lieutenant Fisher (second occasion) Privates L. Polglase, P Sheridan, O.Young, and Driver Bert Roberts (the two last mentioned were employers at the “Standard” office prior to enlisting) all of Frankston, and L. Birch of Mornington. *** WATTLE CLUB. This newly formed club provided a very pleasant evening’s entertainment in the Mechanics’ Institute, on Saturday, August 7th. The chief form of amusement was dancing, with songs at intervals, which were all rendered in splendid style, and were much appreciated by the audience.

To raise funds for the Australian sick and wounded soldiers is the object of the club, as well as to provide amusement and recreation for dozens of

young people, who can, while spending the small sum of 6d for a long evening’s entertainment, help to swell the fund for our heroes.

The Club has started with a membership of over 50, and there is every indication that this number will be double before long.

A very interesting item on Saturday night’s programme was a few well spoken remarks by Mr Gray, who, on behalf of the Wattle Club, welcomed back to Frankston Mr Malcome and Mr Connell, two soldiers who had done their duty as far as they were able, but instead of now fighting in the trenches with their brave comrades, had been compelled to return to the homes they had gone out to defend.

“They are jolly good fellows” was heartily sung.

Messrs Malcome and Connell feelingly responded, and hoped before long to be sufficiently recovered to go to the front. A coffee supper, in which all took part, followed by the National Anthem, brought a most successful evening to a close. *** WE regret to have to call attention to the fact, as announced by advertisement in another column, that the presentation to volunteers recently enlisted from Frankston and the immediate district, arranged for Monday next, 23rd August, has been postponed. We understand that this is partly due to the outbreak of cerebrospinal meningitis and partly due to the difficulty of getting into touch with the recruits, who have recently been transferred from

Seymour to Broadmeadows. *** MUNICIPAL Elections. In the Centre and East Ridings of the Shire the two retiring members have been returned unopposed, the rate payers evidently being well satisfied with the past services of these two gentlemen, and are well satisfied to entrust their interests to them for another term of three years.

In the North Riding the seat rendered vacant by the retirement of Cr Ritchie will be contested for by three gentlemen, and considerable local interest is already excited as to who will eventually head the poll.

The candidates are Messrs W. P. Mason, M. Clements and O. Bailey. Mr Mason has never tried to enter municipal life before, but has always taken a keen interest in the advancement of the district and is a shrewd business man, and should make a very useful man at the council table.

Mr Clements has had former experience as a councillor in other parts and if elected, will doubtless prove a useful member. Mr Bailey is not as well known as the other two candidates, and we understand, never had any experience as a councillor. He has a good gift of language, and if elected will no doubt be able to give expression to his views at the council table.

The election takes place on Thursday next in the Mechanics’ Institute, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 August, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The art of selling things

By Stuart McCullough CLEARLY, anything is now possible.

News that Jimmy Barnes has been awarded his own ice cream flavour has completely knocked me sideways and caused me to question everything I once believed. The decision to give Jimmy his own variety is, of course, highly inappropriate for a number of reasons, not least of which the fact that the ice cream in question is a Peters’ ‘Drumstick’ and, to the very best of my knowledge, Jimmy couldn’t do a para-diddle if his life depended on it.

Don’t get me wrong; Jimmy is great and deserves to be honoured. I’m just not sure that an ice cream – as tasty and delicious as it may be – is quite the way to do it.

I must have missed a meeting. I don’t remember exactly when we, as a nation, decided that the best way to respect a lifetime of good work and achievement was through dessert. I realize the whole ‘Sir Phil’ royal knighthood debacle set the honours system back a notch or two, but the way things are headed, it looks like we’re on the verge of ditching ‘Australian of the Year’ in favour of a signature range of fudge flavours and breakfast cereals. But maybe there’s little point resisting. Instead of trying to stop the inevitable, the time has come to embrace it.

Musicians should all be required to endorse something other than their own work. By combining groceries and rock music, we will stimulate economic activity that makes everyone a winner. ‘Nick Cave and Bad Seeds

Seedless Watermelons’ would revolutionise the fruit and vegetable market.

Midnight Oil’s ‘Power and the Passionfruit’ would draw overdue attention to the quiet achiever of natural snack foods. In fact, we should move towards a model whereby it’s illegal to sell something that doesn’t carry the authoritative weight of celebrity endorsement. Forget food star ratings and nutritional advice; I just want to know if Beyonce likes it.

Southern Peninsula News 18 August 2015

It shouldn’t just be rock stars, though. There’s no reason why other artists shouldn’t also get their share of cross-promotional glory. German composer Carl Orff may have shuffled off this mortal coil, but there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be rolled out to lend his name to the right product. His best-known work, ‘O Fortuna’ comes from Carmen Burina. Pairing him with an affordable small sedan is, frankly, a match made in advertising heaven.

People would be queuing up to part with their hard-earned and get behind the wheel of a Carl Orff ‘Carmen Barina’. The stereo would be set to play ‘O Fortuna’ on a continuous loop which, if nothing else, will frighten pedestrians at a intersections and make the guy with a bottle of detergent and the squidgy mop think twice about offering to clean your windscreen.

It’s a little known fact that the author of the quantum theory, Max Planck, was a massive fan of Barbeque Shapes. Indeed, his thoughts on atomic and sub-atomic particles were said to be deeply influenced by the little bits of red flavouring found on his favourite savoury biscuit. When having to decide between Barbeque Shapes and, say, one of those seaweed infused crackers that (to me at any rate) taste like tablets of nothing, surely the endorsement of Germany’s finest theoretical physicist would influence your decision-making.

Friedrich Nietzsche may have been a nihilist, but he loved nothing more than to hunker down on a wet afternoon for a few rounds of ‘Hungry, Hungry Hippo’. This set him apart from most other philosophers of the era including his hero, Arthur Schopenhauer, who was known to prefer ‘Ker-plunk’. That the link between great philosophers and popular board games has not been promoted before now is, I feel, something of an indictment on the advertising world more generally.

When I look at a product like the Ab-Cruncher I think of two things:

a washboard stomach you could eat your dinner on and Gore Vidal. But for too long these two entities for good have been campaigning for a better world separately when they ought to have combined forces long ago. Not only did Gore produce some substantial pieces of literature; he was renown in literary circles for his well-defined abdominal muscles.

Julius Caesar is an obvious candidate to endorse a set of stainless steel knives that never need sharpening; the kind that can slice through a regular household brick as easily as a piece of cheese and Benito Mussolini a natural fit for some type of hair replacement clinic. Kaiser Wilhelm had a passion for multi-grain bread and there’s nothing Napoleon Bonaparte liked more after a long day on the Russian frontier than a cup of tea with a Jaffa Cake. This will revolutionise the way we shop.

It’s an interesting question: what’s the best way to pay tribute to someone? I suppose ice cream is as good as any. You can win medals, plaques and statuettes, but you can’t put them in a bowl and shove them into your mouth by the spoonful whilst watching reruns of The Bill. I have to admit that I’m yet to try Jimmy’s ice cream. I’d like to tell you that I’m waiting until he comes out with a line of microwave meals and a gourmet cheese but it’s not true. Nor can I say that I don’t have the stomach for it. Rather, it’s just not to my taste. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

ON A MISSION TO CAPTURE YOUR IMAGINATION

By Andrea Lo ouise Thom mas

Amsterdam-born artist, Philippe de Kraan is intent on taking Mornington by storm – art storm that is. His 48th solo exhibition, A Moment in Time, is coming to Oak Hill Gallery in September and the streets businesses and publications of Mornington are ablaze with images of his colourful expressionist paintings. De Kraan paints with exuberant passion and he wants to share that with others. Of the upcoming show he said: “I want people to walk away from his exhibition with their imaginations going wild!”

It hard not to be struck by De Kraan’s work; his bold, bright expressionistic paintings are eye catching both in content and in colour. He works meticulously over long periods of time with exacting precision. He spent three and a half years painting a one 10 x 6.5 foot canvas, The Gathering, with a miniature (000) paintbrush! It was the only way to achieve the effect he wanted.

Patience and dedication to detail are clearly strengths. Have a close look at the pages of the book sitting open on the park bench in his painting, Mornington Delight.

“To have mastered the essence of expression is what I’d like my artistic legacy to be,” he explained. His portraits certainly do just that. There is depth, expression and fine detail in their faces.

When he lived in Europe he used to pay sitting fees to beggars, the elderly, local fishermen and children alike to capture their personal stories. “When you paint a person, you have to make them live. You have to touch the soul,” he revealed. All his work always depicts the human form in some way.

Whether expressive oils and watercolours or meticulous brush and ink work, de Kraan has produced a body of work equal to his intended legacy. Don’t miss this unique solo exhibition opening on Sunday 5 September from 2-4 pm and continuing until Wednesday 30 September at Oak Hill Gallery, 100 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Mornington, 5973 4299, oakhillgallery. com.au View de Kraan’s work at dekraan.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Finals fight goes down to the wire NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE scene has been set for an explosive final round of Nepean League football after the completion of round 15 on Saturday.

There were two significant results to keep an eye on over the weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the outcome of Rye v Somerville and the result of Frankston v Red Hill.

Red Hill was working towards getting the points away to the Bombers while also hoping that Rye could beat Somerville.

Had that been the case, Red Hill would have taken Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in the top five.

Whilst Red Hill held up its end of the bargain, smashing the Bombers convincingly by 113 points, Rye wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to beat Somerville.

However, Rye managed just nine goals against the Eagles while the visitors rammed home 18 majors, winning by 47 points.

The Hillmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning margin, coupled with Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s losing margin, meant that the gap of 18 per cent at the start of the day between the two teams was reduced to just 3.5 per cent by the end of the afternoon.

So the stage has been set for a thrill-

ing final round this Saturday.

Going into the final home and away game of the season, Red Hill is in sixth place on 40 points with a percentage of 134.73.

Somerville is in fifth place with 44 points and a percentage of 131.10. Rye is in fourth place with 44 points and a percentage of 138.24.

Red Hill tackles Dromana at home.

On paper and with a finals berth on offer (potentially), the Hillmen would be favourites. However, the Tigers have beaten Red Hill on the last three occasions.

Somerville go up against Crib Point.

The Eagles will be favourites but noone can underestimate the capabilities of the Pies, despite their horror season.

Rye travels to Shark Park to tackle Sorrento. There is no love lost between these sides and the Sharks would love nothing more than to destroy Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season. Especially after their controversial loss to the Demons in the corresponding game earlier in the season.

The likely scenario looks like this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Red Hill and Somerville wins and Rye loses. Rye drops out, despite 11 wins from 16 games, Somerville jumps to fourth and the Hillmen sneak into fifth.

There is also a battle at the top of the ladder.

Sorrento (44 points and 177.55 per cent) will still have an eye on top spot and the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s added incentive to beat Rye. Top of the table Rosebud (48/186 per cent) travel to Hastings (44/174.79).

Rosebud just has to win to maintain top spot.

There is no question that Sorrento is the side that everyone believes heads into the finals series as favourites.

Dromana was coming off a super win the week before against Rye and were sensational early. However, the Sharks booted five goals to four points in the second quarter and ended the contest.

Myles Pitt finished with seven majors and was the key player on the ground, while Leigh Treeby and Ryan Potter were outstanding.

Kieran Voelkl was superb for the Tigers, while Sam Guerts, Sam Fowler and Richard Sydnenham all played Under 18s and then had an impact in the seniors.

Rye v Somerville was billed as the match of the round.

Whilst the footy played was entertaining, Rye was never in the contest after the 10-minute mark of the second quarter.

Rye was within five points of the

Eagles at quarter time and dominated the first 10 minutes of the second and opened-up a two goal break.

However, Somerville then kicked the next six goals of the second quarter and iced the contest.

The Eagles were equally as impressive in the second half with nine goals to four, winning 18.8 (116) to 9.15 (69).

Whilst Somerville skipper Justin Farrelly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gain the possessions for say Josh Collie to Jedd Sutton (four goals), he typified how the Eagles need to play to be a threat. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fazâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was the biggest man on the field and his second and third efforts were superb. He had the better of Rhett Sutton in the ruck and around the ground.

Kane McKenzie was also significant in defence and Billy Rolfe was at his finest too with three goals.

Timmy McGenniss had 21 possessions in the first half and had 25 when he left the field with an ankle tweak midway through the third. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be right for Crib Point this week.

Stephen Crowe played in the twos but is still struggling, while Ben Sedgewick and Rowan Hogenbirk both missed through quad strains.

Rye went into the match without key defender Ryan Taylor, as well as Ben

Winters-Kerr. Kris Bardon was Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, along with Scott Sterling, Jai Lloyd and Steven Daniher.

Ryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day was typified when Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Shaw called for a handball from Rye defender Leigh Morse in the third quarter. Without hesitation, Morse dished it off and Shaw ran into an open goal.

In other matches, Hastings overcame a slow start to kick 17.13 (115) to 6.13 (49) against Crib Point, Red Hill belted Frankston with Harry Larwill booting seven goals and Paul Wintle dominating Beau Muston, Rosebud booted 30.31 (211) to Tyabbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5.3 (33) with Tom Baker kicking six and Devon Meadows rubbed enormous salt into the wounds of Pearcedale, who were humiliated 20.17 (137) to 8.11 (59).

Pearcedale has been lucky that the dramas at the MPNFL and Crib Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demise has been leading the news this season.

The Panthers invested enormous money into the season and were optimistic about the year.

The year has been nothing short of disastrous.

The Meadows on the other hand should have some pretty exciting times ahead.

Stonecats strangle another victim PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW is slowly sucking the life out of Peninsula Division football after disposing of yet another premiership aspirant on Saturday in Mornington.

The game started in tight fashion but the home side gained the ascendancy midway through the second quarter and collectively pushed their feet on the throats of their opponent for the entire second half, eventually winning 17.12 (114) to 7.7 (49).

The Stonecats opened up a 17-point break at half time after trailing by the smallest of margins at the first change.

The lead should have been so much more than three goals at half time, given the Stonecats had squandered some opportunities (4.7 to 2.1) in the second quarter.

Mornington would have gone into the rooms at the long interval believing that if they could tidy some things up, that they were well in the contest.

Wrong! Frankston YCW came out and booted six goals to one in the third and the game was all over at the final interval (12.10 to 5.4).

Again, the Stonecats had sucked the life out of an opponent.

Scott McLeod with three goals was at his very best. He is a powerful

player with great endurance and an undeniable appetite for the contest and victory.

Anthony Barry was sensational again from half back, setting up the defensive structures and driving his team into attack.

Ben Tellis has been talking about the fact that this is his last season. When you’re playing this brand of football, in this side, the last thing ‘BT’ should be thinking about is hanging up the boots.

David Bodley was the go to forward, finishing with five goals, while Craig Nankervis is grossly underrated. Nankervis wins his own footy, is decisive with the use of it and gets it plenty of times each match.

Frankston YCW doesn’t have a weak link. Ricky Morris returned in the reserves yesterday and kicked a goal.

‘Magic’ is the obvious replacement for Ben Buckley, who tore his ACL against Edithvale in the dying minutes of the match last week.

The Stonecats have proven that they are significantly better than any other side in the competition. In fact, they are plus-70 points between their points for and points against on average this season. That’s more than 10 goals better (on average) than any other side.

If Peninsula Division supporters are hopeful of an exciting finals series,

they better change their mindset.

Frankston YCW coach Scott Mathers doesn’t agree.

“You’re right Toey, at times, you sit back as coach of this team and admire what they are doing on the field,” Mathers said.

“However, if you let your guard down for any period of time, then the opposition can make life difficult.

“Anything can happen on any given day and whilst we’re in good form, that can change pretty quickly if our mindset and application isn’t right,” Mathers said.

Mathers agreed that Ricky Morris was an obvious choice to replace Buckley.

“Magic has had some issues getting his body right this season and he’s got a lot of work to do. He needs a lot of match condition and we need to be confident that his body is right.

“No doubt Ricky is a very good player but he’s coming from a fair way back. Our depth is good at the moment and there are a number of players putting their hand up,” Mathers said.

Pines booted 11 goals to one in the final quarter to belt Seaford by 66 points on Saturday.

In an entertaining, tight contest all afternoon, the Pythons put on a clinic in the final 30 minutes to seal the match with some blistering footy.

Guy Hendry and Aaron Edwards booted seven goals each for the winners while Luke Potts showed once again that he is a class above at this level.

Aaron Walton was equally as impressive for Seaford with eight goals, while Jason Tendler also played a significant role with four majors.

The score was 14.8 (92) to 14.7 (91) at three quarter time. The final score was 25.15 (165) to 15.9 (99).

Edithvale-Aspendale bounced back from its horror defeat last week at the hands of YCW to beat Bonbeach by 22 points.

Wayward kicking by the Eagles (10.15 to 8.5) kept the Sharks in the contest right to the very end on the scoreboard, however, in general play, the Eagles were superior.

Matthew Clark was absolutely superb once again for the winners while Tim Mavric back in the line-up made a significant difference. Aaron Pawel was also back in the ruck for the visitors, which again helped with their structures.

Darcy Warke was again available from the Stingrays and was lively forward of centre with four goals.

Chris Bryan played arguably his best game for Bonbeach with three goals, while Gary Carpenter was at his best yet again.

Langwarrin controlled its match all afternoon against Chelsea, winning comfortably 22.13 (145) to 11.12 (78).

For the second week in a row, exciting forward Kieran Albanese dominated in the front half, finishing with six goals in his best game for the club.

Former junior teammate Blake Harkness was also super impressive while Rikki Johnston was again at his absolute best.

Johnston is a short-price favorite to win the club’s best and fairest after former Dromana premiership teammate Liam Hogan took the title last season.

Jason Clark kicked four goals for the Seagulls while Brad Clark was also a strong performer through the middle of the ground.

Mt Eliza spearhead Justin Van Unen is just five goals away from kicking 100 after booting eight goals in his team’s 26.21 (177) to 6.4 (40) victory against Karingal.

The Mounties started with eight goals to zip in the opening quarter and finished in the final term with 10 goals to one.

Rohan Heasley and Ben Landry dominated through the middle of the ground for the winners.

Hadley Tomamichel and Tom Wilkinson picked-up the votes for Karingal.
