Message from the Premier & Minister to respond. These Victorians do an incredible job in keeping our state safe.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP

The Hon Lisa Neville MP

Premier of Victoria

Minister for Police and Emergency Services

But they can’t do it alone. We all have a responsibility to plan and prepare for fire.

Our emergency services are ready for a long, hot and dry fire season.

Whether you’re in the bush, near the beach, close to grassland or paddocks, you need to prepare now.

A record fleet of 50 aircraft and thousands of volunteers and career firefighters are ready

There are some simple steps you can take straight away to stay safe this fire season.

Make a fire plan and know your trigger to enact it. Talk to your loved ones and make sure they know the plan too. Know where you’ll get your emergency information from and have your emergency kit ready to go.

And for more information on how to prepare, visit vic.gov.au/knowfire.

Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

Prepare early for survival.

Danger lies in the healthy grass growth fed by spring rains, says CFA Assistant Chief Officer for the South East Region Trevor Owen.

The lush, tall grasslands are expected to quickly dry out to a fire hazard within a few weeks, Mr Owen said. Residents hit by the devastating Bunyip State Park fires in March will be particularly nervous.

The fuel loads remain high in surrounding forest at Maryknoll, Garfield and Bunyip. Even in suburban areas, parks and reserves carry high fuel loads of trees, shrubs and grass.

“Being prepared” is again the

key advice. Preparation, such as cutting back shrubs and trees to allow clear gate access for fire trucks, needs to happen now, not on the day of the fire. Also remember

“What’s more important is your life.” to remove mulch from around the base of homes, maintain sprinklers and water pumps in working order, get appropriate hoses and remove leaves from roof gutters.

Don’t expect fireys to save your property - especially in a high

fire-risk area on a severely hot day, Mr Owen says. “You can’t expect firefighters and volunteers to put themselves in danger to protect a property that they are unlikely to save anyway. “Last season, people’s assumptions were that we would.

“People need to accept responsibility and do what they can to protect themselves, not assume that a fire truck will be there.”

As hard as it is, Mr Owen says the best decision may be to leave earlier in the day and to accept your property might be destroyed.

Bid to ban booze from beach Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A MOVE to make Mordialloc Beach a 24 hour alcohol-free zone has been proposed by Kingston Council.

The plan to ban all consumption of alcohol at the beach is currently out for public consultation on the Your Kingston Your Say website.

“The summer period sees a significant increase in the use of the Mordialloc foreshore area throughout the Kingston Police Service Area, in particular foreshore areas from Mordialloc to Carrum, to which significant police resources are allocated at the Mordialloc Pier and Peter Scullin Reserve where a number of assaults and public order incidents have occurred,”

the website reads.

“Council believes amending the current Mordialloc alcohol-free zone will lead to a safer and improved environment for foreshore users with positive environmental and social implications.”

Council says the proposal for a 24 hour ban was put forward following a request from Mordialloc Police.

Alcohol restrictions are currently enforced on the foreshore area from 9pm until 7am. The booze free zone spans from Mordialloc Creek to Epson Road, and from the beach up to the Mordialloc train station An alcohol ban on the Mordialloc foreshore was first implemented in 1999, and was expanded in 2006. 24 hour alcohol bans are currently in op-

eration and enforced at foreshore areas in Chelsea and Carrum.

The public consultation period for the proposal opened on 28 October.

Feedback will be accepted until 18 November.

SIXTEEN local centenarians shared over 1600 years worth of stories at a special luncheon last week.

The 100 Years of Memories luncheon was held on 8 November, bringing together the Kingston municipality’s most senior citizens.

Kingston’s oldest resident, 110-year-old Hiek Neang, was among the attendees on the day. She moved to Australia from Cambodia in her earlier years, and has been in Mordialloc for over a decade. She said moving to Australia had let her live a “paradise life”.

Ms Neang has six children, 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Her daughter and grand-

daughter joined her for the afternoon.

“Live in today, life is like a light it can be clicked off any time,” is the advice Ms Neang offers members of younger generations Other attendees included sisters Ada Richardson and Jean Proven, 104 and 100-years-old.

Of the sixteen attendees who had reached the century milestone, fifteen were women and just one was a man.

Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley, who ironically is one of the youngest mayors ever elected in Victoria, went along with youth mayor Jack O’Connor. “The most recent study in 2017 found Australia had more than 4400 people aged over 100, and the

number is growing as we take care Editorial.Challenge.2017 of and respect our senior citizens,” she said. “The fact that we have so many residents in their early hundreds shows just what a wonderful place Kingston is to live.”

Kingston has 30 living residents who have celebrated their 100th birthdays.

The Southern Golf Club in Keysborough played host to the event.

Vehicles face airbag registration ban SPONSORED CONTENT

T

HE Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries is urgently appealing to all car owners to check if their vehicle has a faulty Takata airbag. Failure to do so may result in more owners having their vehicle deregistered.

FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber said state and territory government traffic authorities were considering the deregistration of more vehicles fitted with faulty Alpha and critical airbags where owners had ignored repeated requests to have their vehicle airbags replaced.

Car owners can avoid the potential deregistration of these vehicles by having the faulty airbags, which could result in the death or serious injury of vehicle drivers and passengers, replaced as soon as possible.

PAGE 2

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News

"Nobody wants to see car owners inconvenienced by having their vehicles deregistered, but it seems it is the only way we can convince some unresponsive owners to allow us to fix their cars," Mr Weber said.

"This is a last resort action to ensure we track down owners of vehicles with Alpha and critical airbags who have ignored multiple appeals from manufacturers and government agencies."

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission recently announced that nearly 20,000 additional vehicles already under recall for faulty Takata airbags have now been reclassified by manufacturers as "critical." The critical classification places the vehicles in a high-risk category alongside Alpha-equipped vehicles.

"The ACCC has warned vehicles fitted

13 November 2019

with airbags listed as critical should not be driven and the FCAI strongly agrees with that warning," Mr Weber said.

In Australia, one death and one serious injury associated with faulty Takata airbags have been recorded. At September 30, 2019 Australian car manufacturers have rectified faulty Takata airbags in more than 2.46 million vehicles, but there were 373,886 vehicles still subject to the national recall.

These vehicles are located throughout Australia, particularly in outer capital-city suburbs and in regional and rural areas.

To check if your vehicle is affected go to www.ismyairbagsafe.com.au and enter your vehicle's registration and state or territory, or text TAKATA to 0487 AIRBAG (247 224).

Sports spending ticked off REDEVELOPMENTS of four local sports precincts are set to get underway after council ticked off the contracts last week.

Roy Dore Reserve in Carrum, Jack Grut Reserve in Mordialloc, Aspendale Gardens Sports Grounds, and Chadwick Reserve in Dingley Village will each get facelifts.

A new pavilion will be the centrepiece of works at Roy Dore Reserve, with the project expected to cost a little under $6 million. Works at the Carrum ground are expected to be

finished by late next year.

Just over $4 million will be poured into works at Aspendale Gardens Sports Grounds, with four football pitches or two AFL sized ovals, cricket nets, and lighting set to be installed.

Over $1 million will be spent at Mordialloc’s Jack Grut Reserve to replace the social room.

Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said “many of our sporting pavilions were built half a century ago when sport was designed with only men in

mind. We are transforming sporting facilities across all of Kingston to provide modern facilities with disability access and female-friendly changerooms, so they can be used by all.”

“This is a great use of ratepayer funds as these facilities not only serve thousands of local families taking part in a wide range of sports including AFL, cricket, soccer, netball and rugby but are also home to other community groups including Carrum Radio and the Mordialloc Brass Band,” she said.

A LETTER has been distributed to Clarinda residents by recycler Alex Fraser Group detailing their proposal for a 10 to 15 year permit extension to operate at their Clarinda site.

The letter pitching their case was sent out last week, and signed by Alex Fraser Group director Peter Murphy.

Alex Fraser Group says that if their site is shutdown, that “Victoria’s recycling crisis would worsen, with more materials which could be recycled potentially going to landfill.”

“The permit for this vital recycling facility is due to expire in 2023, and, without an extension from Kingston City Council, the site will shut down.

As allowed under the current permit, Alex Fraser has applied to Kingston City Council for a 10 to 15-year extension, to give time to find and relocate to an alternative site,” Mr Murphy wrote.

“A council decision to extend the permit at Clarinda would provide a vital solution to Victoria’s recycling crisis. It will also ensure the continued supply of sustainable materials needed for infrastructure projects planned for Melbourne south east like the Suburban Rail Loop, South Eastern Roads Upgrade, and Mordialloc Freeway.”

Mr Murphy wrote that if the site shut down by 2023, the land would be unavailable for public use. The letter sent to Clarinda residents detailed the recycler’s plan for the land if an extension of their permit is issued.

“To provide certainty about the

site’s long term use, Alex Fraser has committed to give the Kingston community ownership of the 22 hectares of land in 2033. We’d love to see this land redeveloped to serve the community as a public park and recreation space, which could include facilities for netball, soccer and football,” the letter read.

“To help fund this kind of community development, Alex Fraser would lease the land from the community until the planning permit expires in 2038, providing Kingston City Council with $1 million in rent every year for five years.”

The News reported in February this year that the group had circulated a brochure to council seeking a 10 year extension of their permit.

A 15 year permit was granted to the Alex Fraser Group in 2008, with an exit date of 2023 targeted.

The Alex Fraser Group made a push for a 15 year licence extension in late 2014, but they faced unanimous opposition from the previous Kingston Council. That move was eventually blocked when planning minister Richard Wynne announced Green Wedge land north of Kingston and Heatherton Rds would be rezoned from Special Use, allowing waste businesses, to a Green Wedge A Zone (‘Time to take out the trash in Green Wedge’, The News, 21/10/15).

Kingston councillor Steve Staikos confirmed on social media that the Alex Fraser Group’s application for an extension of their permit had been officially lodged with council.

Submissions about the plan can be made to council at kingston.vic.gov. au

Service to honour slain officer Call for 5G information A SERVICE to honour the memory of Constable Angela Taylor will be held at Mornington police station this week.

A plaque dedicated to Constable Taylor will be mounted beside an Angela Taylor rosebush during the service, Wednesday 13 November.

Constable Taylor’s family and friends, the Blue Ribbon Foundation, and local police and senior police officers will gather to celebrate Constable Taylor’s life and recognise her service to the community.

Constable Taylor was the first policewoman in Australia to be murdered on duty when a car bomb was detonated in front of the Russell Street police headquarters on Easter Thursday, 27 March 1986. She suffered what would become fatal injuries and died 24 days later on 20 April 1986.

She was only 21.

Senior Sergeant Natalie Dollard said officers from Southern Metro Division 4 raised the funds for the plaque over the past year. “We wanted to formally recognise the Angela Taylor rosebush at the Mornington police station and ensure that its significance was understood,” Senior Sergeant Dollard said.

“Constable Taylor’s memory lives on and has done at Mornington police station since 2002 when retired police veteran Sergeant Neil Fortune planted one of the original roses at the front of the station.

“This Angela Taylor Rose continues to flourish all these years later at the base of the flagpole.

“The rose is currently in full bloom and is ready for the ceremony next week.”

Care and Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care will be tuition free for eligible students.

Carrum MP and parliamentary secretary for early childhood education Sonya Kilkenny said that since January, 36,000 students statewide had started free TAFE courses.

“As we start the roll out of funded three year old kindergartens across Victoria, our biggest reform in early childhood education ever, now is the perfect time for anyone considering working in kinders or childcare to enrol in our TAFEs and take up the opportunity of becoming qualified in early childhood education without the worry of tuition fees,” she said.

KINGSTON Council has called out telecommunication companies to consult more with the community when it comes to the rollout of 5G technology.

A news release sent out by council last week read “Kingston Council has called on telecommunications companies to properly consult and advise the community before rolling out the 5G network in the area. Council believes telecommunications companies should advertise any proposed changes to ensure the surrounding community were kept well informed.”

The mayor Georgina Oxley said “very little notification is given and the community was often left in the dark.”

“We want to see the same type of advertising as you would for a planning application, with neighbours alerted and signage displayed on site,” she said.

“Our community has clearly said that a tiny ad in the back of the newspaper simply isn’t good enough. Many people have real concerns about the impact of 5G and deserve to be aware of changes in their area.

“While council does not have the power to enforce a change, it will be advocating strongly on behalf of the local community.”

Clubs get grant dollars TWO local sporting clubs have been awarded grants through VicHealth’s This Girl Can campaign.

The campaign aims to get more women involved in sports.

Bonbeach YCW junior sports club was awarded just under $3000 to introduce under 13s and under 16s girls cricket teams, and a program for girls of all abilities to play netball.

Carrum Downs Tennis Club received $2700 to introduce a Mum’s tennis program.

Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “The This Girl Can campaign has been hugely successful at showing that women and girls, as well as a wide variety of people from different backgrounds, want to be active and live healthy lives.”

Over $700,000 in grant money was handed out to sporting cubs statewide through the VicHealth program.

It’s not “Fake News”

Santa’s Place on the Peninsula is really leaving After nearly 20 years, Santa’s Place really is leaving Moorooduc.

Santa’s Place has grown over the years to become a tradition for families at Christmas time to come in, relax, and check out the array of new season products from traditional, colourful and unusual. A ride on the tractor to choose a Christmas Tree is always a hit with the children.

Santa’s Place has seen many well-known families from all walks of life as well as “Christmas Tragics” who just love everything Christmas. A few “scrooges” have also been dragged in to just sit in the coffee shop and enjoy the “serenity” of it all while their other halves shop (often sneaking a bit extra in their bags).

Santa’s Place can’t thank our regulars enough, some who have travelled from overseas, interstate and country areas every year. Your loyalty is greatly appreciated.

with Brodie Cowburn

House of cards A MAN has been arrested in Carrum after police allegedly found an embossing machine used to create fake IDs, and large quantities of manufactured driver’s licenses and credit cards.

Police executed a search warrant at a Stephens Streets home on 9 November, where they found the machine and the cards, as well as an allegedly stolen car, power tools, and allegedly stolen mail.

A 43-year-old Carrum man was arrested at the scene, and charged with handle stolen goods, theft of motor vehicle, commit indictable offence whilst on bail, possess identifying information relating to another person, possess proceeds of crime and possess methylamphetamine.

He was remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, 10 November. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

been released (below). Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Stolen from car

Theft investigated THE theft and use of a credit card from Parkdale is being investigated by police.

Kingston Crime Investigation Unit detectives were told that a bag of clothes and a wallet was stolen from a Parkers Road apartment sometime between 7am and 4.30pm on 29 October.

The card stolen from the address was used at a Glenferrie supermarket a little before midnight by an unknown woman, who was accompanied by a man. The offenders are also alleged to have stolen mobile phones from the same supermarket.

The woman is described by police as in her 20s with red hair, a solid build, and wearing a purple hooded top. The man is described by police in his 20s or 30s, with dark hair, and a medium build. He was wearing black pants, a polo shirt, a headlamp, and had no shoes on.

Images of two people wanted by police have

Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said “we shouldn’t have to remind people of the dangers of drink and drug driving, not wearing seatbelts, of using your phone while driving, yet here we are again seeing people blatantly disregarding the law.”

“Operation Furlong may now be over but enforcement doesn’t stop; until the message sinks in, our officers will continue breath and drug testing drivers and speed-checking vehicles to keep our roads safe,” he said.

“Sadly, two people also lost their lives during the operation in separate incidents in Moorooduc and Werribee South. Our thoughts go out to those families at what will undoubtedly be a difficult time and unfortunately one they will associate with the Melbourne Cup for years to come.

“No one deserves to lose a loved one in these circumstances and we need everyone to play their part in keeping our roads safe.”

Road operation FRANKSTON and Carrum Downs police helped to implement a five day road safety operation last week.

The operation ran from 1 November to 5 November. Statewide, 10,900 traffic offences and 925 criminal offences were detected.

4200 were caught speeding, 662 on their phones, over 1000 were caught driving in unregistered cars, and just under 400 were found to be driving unlicensed.

250 drink drivers and 271 drug drivers were caught by police over a five day period.

THE theft of a wallet and glasses from a car on Evergreen Circuit, Cheltenham is being investigated by police.

Police believe the theft occurred between 8.30pm on 10 October and 6am on 11 October.

Between 6.15am and 7.10am on 11 October, credit cards from the stolen wallet were used at service stations and stores in Carnegie, Caulfield, Elsternwick, Bentleigh and McKinnon.

An image of a man (below) police wish to speak to has been released. Information to Crime Stoppers.

Bike riders warned POLICE have begun a renewed push to stop monkey bike riders in Frankston North and Carrum Downs.

Monkey bike riding and hooning in areas such as the Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve have caused police to put out a renewed call for information that might lead to arrests.

“Police would desperately love to prevent another serious injury or death in relation to these motorcycles. We don’t need to lose another innocent person to this dangerous behaviour,” a police spokesperson said.

“Police are appealing for any information relating to these activities, photos/dashcam/ CCTV as well as where these bikes are coming and going from. They live somewhere and their neighbours and family know something. Anonymous reports are welcome.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston football premiers entertained Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Tuesday evening Mrs Parker, wife of Mr E. J. Parker, president of the Frankston Football Club, tendered a complimentary dinner to the premiers of the recent competition, at the Bay View Hotel.

There was a representative gathering of players and members of the Club.

Great care had been expended by the hostess in preparing for the occasion.

The banquet hall was a blaze of color composed of flags and floral effects with an artistic blending of red and black, representing the victorious team’s colors.

The Union Jack and Australian Flag appropriately occupied pride of place, and accorded perfectly with the sentiments of the guests.

It is a noteworthy fact that not less than 14 players out of 18 are Returned Soldiers.

Meeting on the evening of the first anniversary of the armistice gave added zest to the proceedings.

The table decorations were in keeping with the other excellent appointments, and reflected great credit on these responsible for the work.

Mr H. J. McCulloch occupied the chair, and he had on his right hand Mr E. J. Parker, the president, and on his left Mr W. Cain, captain of the premier team.

The Chairman gave the toast of The King and the company rose, and sang The National Anthem.

Mr Brierley presided at the piano.

In proposing the toast of the Premier Team Mr W. W. Young said the task allotted him afforded him great

pleasure.

The winning of the premiership by the Frankston Club was a cause of extreme gratification.

While members of the club and its supporters were naturally jubilant at the victory gained, the players themselves accepted their honors with becoming modesty.

The Frankston team had fought a great uphill fight, and had gained the premiership by sheer merit.

They had started out practically a new team, many of the players being strangers to one another.

It had taken time for them to settle down and work with a system.

The result of the earlier matches proved this.

Their ultimate victory was therefore all the more creditable. (Cheers.)

He hoped that the coming years had still further honors in store for the Frankston club. (Cheers. ) Mr. J. A. Cameron on being called up to respond received an ovation mingled with cries of “good old Joker.”

He admitted that the Frankston team had justly earned his victory.

His further remarks indicated that the winning of the Peninsula premiership still left the successful team a long way short of perfection.

Not till the last two or three matches, he said, did Frankston play anything like competition winners.

Success only came when they pulled themselves together and developed something like “system”.

His advice was to call out some of the old players and make room for the young men.

“Some of us are too old”, he rather ruefully admitted, “my idea is that the best team is a youngsters team.”–Applause.

Mr W. Cain in an excellent speech, proved that football is not his only forte.

As captain of the premier team he thanked the “boys” who on the field had carried for him that proud distinction.

It afforded him pleasure to think of how Saturday after Saturday the boys had taken their places, regardless of injuries and other disabilities, imbued seemingly with the great idea of keeping up the standard of the team and winning. (cheers) He had to pay special tribute to his friend “Joker” Cameron, who as vice captain had made the speaker’s duties comparatively light. (Hear Hear).

The speaker also thanked the committee, patrons, and all supporters of the club for the loyal support extended to the team right through.

He hoped the players would continue to strive to keep football at a high standard, and that the good feeling that had prevailed right through the season would continue.

They were all proud of the honors won, and he hoped the ambition of all would be to still keep the pennant waving over Frankston, (cheers.)

The toast of “The Hostess” was given by Mr C. Dalman.

This was not the first time Frankston had been premiers, but he believed it was the first time in the history of the club that the president’s wife had entertained the premier team. (Cheers).

He believed that one of the factors

that made for the success of the team was the interest displayed by the ladies, (Applause.)

The present splendid banquet would long serve to revive kindly memories of Mrs Parker in the minds of Frankston Footballers, (Cheers.)

The chairman in endorsing the foregoing remarks said that in his long experience he had never seen such an excellent dinner in connection with a football function.

The toast was suitably acknowledged on behalf of Mrs Parker.

Other speakers included Messrs Moon, C. Willox, Egan, Verney, Murphy, Bolger and the president.

The singing of Auld Lang Syne terminated a most successful evening. *** THE first motor wagon load of new potatoes left Frankston on Wednesday night for the Victorian market.

They were grown at Mt Eliza by Mr. J. Bradbury, of the Fernery, Frankston, and are of the variety known as Arren Chief. *** MR. A. Sullivan, of the Frankston Boot Emporium, has purchased the boot repairing business of Mr G. Farmer, which the new proprietor will conduct on up-to-date lines, in addition to his popular Bay Street establishment. *** ON Friday evening next the recently established Frankston Grammar School purpose holding their first concert, the proceeds to be devoted to the sports and school equipment funds.

Root’s beautiful cantanta “The Flower Queen” will be rendered by

the pupils under the leadership of their headmaster, Mr Austin, who himself takes the part of Recluse.

The music is bright and melodious and the whole action lends itself to graceful and picturesque appearances.

We confidently recommend this concert to our music loving community and predict a very successful evening. *** AT the monthly meeting of the committee of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute, held on Monday evening, Cr. W. P. Mason, (vice president) in the chair, an application was received from Mr. E. Barrett, Secretary of the Local Committee for Repatriation, asking if one of the ante rooms attached to hall could be available as an office for Repatriation purposes.

It was decided to offer the room used in connection with the court work at a nominal rental of 2s 6d per week. *** TYABB. A WELCOME HOME. A monster “Welcome Home “’ was tendered to about a dozen local lads on Friday evening last.

Cr Turner occupied the chair, and presentations were made by Cr Murray.

Other speakers were Capt Guy and Capt. Gates, and Capt L. G. Cole replied on behalf of the “Diggers”.

A splendid programme was submitted, which was followed by a dance, and kept going until the early hours. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 November 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Passwords of Eternal Damnation

By Stuart McCullough I’LL admit I panicked. By which I mean I suffered something more than a momentary flood of adrenalin but short of frothing at the mouth; but it was panic, nevertheless. I had forgotten my password. In a world that requires a password for almost everything you do, this is a problem. When did passwords become so critically important? Honestly, you can’t so much as buy a pair of socks on-line without creating some kind of password that you’re expected to remember for the rest of your life. It’s unreasonable. In a mad scramble, I looked for a way out.

The closest I got was a button that said ‘Forgot password’ but I’d already managed to do that. It could only make things worse.

As I stared at the screen, waiting for either inspiration or lightning to strike, I began to wonder how I might begin my new passwordfree existence. Like people who choose to live a subsistence life off the grid in a tin shack in the middle of the bush, living on possum meat and coming to town twice per year to mail semithreatening letters to the Green Guide, I would become a perennial outsider; a maverick who chooses to rebel against the social mores and conventions in order to play by his own rules.

Which sounds cooler than it should.

There’s more to remember now. When I was a kid, the one thing you really had to commit to memory was your home phone number. I turned mine into a song that, after a couple of Bacardi Breezers, I am prone to performing to this day, whether I’ve been asked to or not. (And, to be honest, performing your old phone number is not something that anyone in their right or left mind is likely ever to request.)

As a pre-teen show off, I mastered the whole phone number thing quite quickly but came unstuck when my parents selfishly moved house and I had to commit a new one to memory. I was then put to the test once more when the

PAGE 12

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News

world as I knew it was rocked to its foundations as the ‘059’ system was abolished and ‘3’ was added at the front end. Once more, I rose to the challenge.

At a certain point, I had a card that gave me access to the wonderful world of ATMs. It pains me to say it, but I remember when ATMs first started appearing. We were visiting friends of my father’s in Wangaratta and we watched in wide-mouthed wonder from the car as he alighted to get cash from a machine. The future had arrived and we could see it on our way to dinner at a Chinese restaurant.

These miracle cards meant you had to remember another number. A PIN number was top

13 November 2019

secret information delivered to you in special, tamper-proof paper. To open it, you had to tear along the perforated edges and unfold it as though you were about to announce the winner for Best Supporting Actress. Once this critical information had been memorized, you had to immediately and securely destroy the information by eating the paper. Or, at least, that was my preferred approach.

Remembering your PIN was the most important thing in the world. Failing to do so would bring humiliation and, worse still, a trip to the branch proper where you were subject to the unique degradation that was trying to prove to a total stranger that you were, in fact, you. That

is not as easy as it sounds. After a time, it was more a matter of muscle memory than anything else and, from time to time, I was left to stare at the keys as I tried to summon up my PIN number.

Now everything demands a password. Even things that, in my personal opinion, cannot truly be considered to password worthy. Want to buy a pair of socks? Log in to you customer account.

Like to pay a bill? Notwithstanding the pleasure that comes from parting with your hard-earned cash just to keep the lights on, you also have to come up with a password. Preferably one that you’ll remember for longer than it takes you to type it out in the first place.

Worse still, the Internet is very judgmental.

Passwords can’t just be passwords. They’re evaluated in terms of whether they’re ‘weak’ or ‘strong’. To be honest, it hurts my feelings when they claim that something I’ve spent the first part of three and a half seconds concocting isn’t up to scratch. There’s no pleasing them.

Sometimes, they show you a code that you have to type in, only it’s like the letters are drunk and have been dropped from a great height, because they’re hard to read. My favourite, though, is when they make you click a box that says ‘I am not a robot’. I know that only a robot would ever be stupid enough to declare that they’re not a robot, so I always leave that one blank.

Passwords accumulate over time. Like t-shirts or weeds in your garden. In a perverse way, they define us. After all, when all’s said and done, we are the sum total of usernames and passwords.

I’m thinking about passing them on to the next generation. I want them to enjoy them after I’ve gone. Then, when the big day finally comes and I kick the bucket, I’ll doubtless ascend to the Pearly Gates to receive my eternal reward only to discover that it’s password protected. Damnation. Literally. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Dart game: Red Hill and Mooroduc’s clash was rained out, but not before an entertaining century by Red Hill’s Simon Dart. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Rain wreaks havoc on the round but not before some impressive totals

By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

A KNOCK of 98 from Nick Jewell helped Long Island to a comfortable win over Pearcedale last weekend.

Pearcedale came in to bat first in the one day clash, and finished up at 8/143 from their 40 overs.

Andrew Tweddle took 4/23 to help restrict Pearcedale to a low total.

With Jewell in full flight, Long Island were able to reach their target with relative ease. They claimed the win with eight wickets and 18 overs to spare.

At Ditterich Reserve, a stunning century from Damien Lawrence helped Pines get a win over Main Ridge.

Lawrence came in as opener, and contributed to a brilliant 172 run second wicket partnership.

Pines set Main Ridge a target of 235 to chase down, and defended it well.

Main Ridge were not able to score at a quick enough rate, and finished at

4/113 at the end of 40 overs.

At Bruce Park, Somerville claimed a win over Heatherhill, chasing down their total of 152 with 8 wickets in hand.

Red Hill and Moorooduc’s clash ended up rained off, but not before Simon Dart managed to score an entertaining ton for the Hillmen.

DISTRICT

A HALF century from opening batsman Henry Dolphin has helped Crib Point to a win over Mt Martha.

Mt Martha won the toss and chose to bat first. They found themselves struggling, and could only put 134 runs on the board before the expiration of their innings.

Crib Point had little trouble chasing down that total, and ended up securing victory with five wickets in hand and 13 overs left to play.

Delacombe Park also had similar fortune in their clash against Dromana, as they managed to chase down a total of 130 with 13 overs to play.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News

13 November 2019

Number three batsman Andrew Christides was Delacombe Park’s best, scoring a half century.

Hastings’ match at home against Carrum got off to a strong start. They went in to bat first and put 192 runs on the board, with Luke Hewitt reaching a half century.

Unfortunately for Hastings and Carrum, rain brought a premature end to their game.

Rosebud and Seaford Tigers also didn’t get a result on a rain interrupted day.

TYABB secured an impressive win last weekend in a rain interrupted round of Sub District cricket.

Tyabb played host to Rye, and got things started with a big 91 run opening stand. Opener Michael Edwards got things started on the right foot and scored a half century.

Tyabb set a total of 8/200 off their 40 overs, which would prove to be too difficult a mountain for Rye to climb.

Jordan Baldes was Rye’s best with ball in hand, taking a five wicket haul.

At the end of their 40 over innings, Rye were just under 70 runs short of victory.

At Peninsula Reserve, Frankston YCW nabbed the win in a low scoring clash against Carrum Downs.

The Stonecats were sent in to bat first and only put 71 runs on the board before being bowled out.

Faced with the difficult task of defending their small total, YCW’s bowlers were impressive. Levi McLoughlin-Dore was influential, posting career best figures of 5/13 to help restrict Carrum Downs to just 44.

None of Carrum Downs top order batsman managed to reach double digit figures.

Playing on the road against Boneo, Ballam Park batted first and set a decent total of 186. With the weather starting to turn, Boneo looked to make quick work of it and score quickly.

In the end, the rain won out and the match was called a draw.

Tootgarook and Balnarring also couldn’t fight through the weather, and had their clash called a draw.

Skye and Seaford’s match was also rained off.

PROVINCIAL

MORNINGTON played host to Baxter on Saturday in a competitive clash.

Mornington were sent in to bat first, and got off on the wrong foot when they lost opener Matt Foon for a duck.

They recovered well, and ended up at 7/164 at the end of their 40 overs.

Baxter’s top order put on a good show in response, with Dale Irving and Daniel Warwick falling just short of their half centuries.

Baxter ended up victorious, getting the win with five wickets in hand and eight overs left to bat before stumps.

Mt Eliza played well and put 180 runs on the board against Langwarrin, but couldn’t get a result as rain brought an end to the day. Bad weather also stopped play between Peninsula OB and Baden Powell.

Matt Cartwright rides first career winner HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based apprentice jockey, Matthew Cartwright, rode his first winner in just his third career race at Swan Hill on Tuesday 29 October.

Hopping aboard the Dean Krongoldtrained mare Miss Inception, Cartwright sat just outside the leader before kicking clear in the straight to win under hands-and-heels riding.

The stable apprentice to his mother and grandmother, Leonie Proctor and Lyn Tolson, and son of former jockey, Rikki Cartwright, the up-and-coming hoop seemed destined to follow a similar path to his family in horse racing.

But to score his first win so early in his career is a feat in itself.

“I was over the moon to get my first winner so early and to get the opportunity off Dean to do it was great – there’s no better feeling really,” Mattehw Cartwright said.

An avid motocross rider as well, the 17-year-old eventually got hooked into horse racing from watching his father Rikki race across the state.

“I’ve been around the horses my

whole life and I just got more into it over time and began to ride trackwork,” Matthew said. “Because I was light it just pushed me even more into wanting to become a jockey because I love riding horses.”

Cartwright, who comfortably walks around at 49.5kg, has been riding trackwork for the past three years and now also works for Ciaron Maher and David Eustace at Caulfield every Monday and Tuesday.

The hoop said he’s obviously found riding in races different to riding trackwork, but with the more experience he’s having, the more comfortable he’s feeling under race pressure.

“My first ride was at Yarra Valley over 1000m and it was great – I loved every bit of it,” he said. “We jumped well and wanted to roll forward but there were a few others that also wanted to, so we got caught wide throughout, but I had a good experience and had fun out there.

“I’ve made a few mistakes but just the more rides and more experience I’m having, its just helping me to improve, so hopefully we can get another win on the board sometime soon.”

Mitchell eyes Russian opponent BLAIRGOWRIE boxer Jayde Mitchell will headline the recently launched National Boxing Series in its Melbourne debut at the State Basketball Centre, Wantirna, Saturday 23 November.

“This will be the first of three events held in Melbourne over the next 12 months with other shows in the series taking place in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra,” he said.

middleweight, will fight former world champion Stanislav Kashtanov, of Russia, over 10 rounds in what’s being described as “one of the fights of the year in Australian boxing”.

“This is a massive coup for the event that will have major ramifications for the winner,” Hoskins said.

“With such a prominent fighter as Kashtanov this fight now takes on considerably more significance for Mitchell and will most likely result in a world title opportunity if he wins.”

The concept aims to showcase Australia’s best young talent to a national TV audience televised live through Fox Sports.

Hosking Promotions will team up with D & L Events, the promoter of Jeff Horn, to bring the series to life in Victoria. This comes after a successful co-promotion in August when Michael Zerafa upset the much-fancied Horn in front of 5000 people at the Bendigo Stadium.

Tickets are available online through Ticketek.

Facts you may not know about fire Conditions in Victoria make it one of the most bushfire-prone regions in the world, along with California and Spain.

Just two weeks of hot, dry and windy weather creates potentially disastrous bushfire conditions that normal Victorian homes are not equipped to survive.

At 1100°C, radiant heat from bushfires can kill from up to 300 metres away and cause trees to combust without touching them.

Fires can travel at 25km/h, making them impossible to outrun. A change in wind direction can alter their trajectory in seconds and they move twice as fast uphill on a slope of just 10 degrees.

Burning embers can spread bushfires up to 40km ahead of the fire front, starting dangerous new spot fires in seconds.

Rural grassfires can be just as dangerous as bushfires, travelling faster and starting earlier due to grass drying out more quickly.

Fires can start on any day but the higher the rating, the more unpredictable, uncontrollable and fast moving it will be.

The Fire Danger Rating tells you how dangerous a fire would be if one started.

CODE RED

When the rating reaches Extreme or above, leaving high-risk bushfire areas the night before or early in the day is your safest option.
