Platform to perform SCHOOL productions of all sorts, guest speakers and soirees as well as music, dance and drama events now have a purpose-built venue at Patterson River Secondary College. Principal Maree Vinocuroff said the $1.5 million performing arts centre had a capacity of 250 people. Funds to build it came from the state government and the school. The centre took eight months to complete after having been “in the pipeline for 17 years”. “It’s a fantastic, professional learning space catering to the various needs of our many performing arts students,” Ms Vinocuroff said. The shows will go on: Dance teacher Hannah Tucker with Patterson River Secondary College dancers at the school’s new performing arts centre. Picture: Yanni
Rates cap ‘no problem’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON residents should not fear cuts to services when the state government’s rates capping policy comes into force next financial year, according to Kingston Council. Council corporate services manager Paul Franklin has assured Kingston
residents that “council is well-prepared for rate capping and has taken it into account in its planning forecasts for the next several years”. The Labor state government crunched the rate rise numbers for councils across Victoria to reveal ratepayers faced an average rates rise of 5.99 per cent for each of the past ten years. Local Government Minister Natalie
Hutchins called the figure “an unfair and unsustainable burden for Victorian ratepayers”. The government will cap Victorian councils’ rates from 2016-17 in a move to “ensure councils are more open and accountable with their budgets”. Some councils believe the cap, dubbed the Fair Go Rates cap by the government, will mean councils will
not be able to deliver expected services to ratepayers. Ms Hutchins has dismissed this argument. “Our Fair Go Rates cap won’t cut existing budgets and it won’t stop councils providing much-needed services and facilities,” she said in a statement released over the weekend. “What it will deliver is greater value
for money and councils that listen and respond to the needs of their community.” Mr Franklin said Kingston Council’s rate rises for the past three years have been below the state average. Council’s rates rose 4.45 per cent in 2013-14, 4.06 per cent in 2014-15 and 4.25 per cent for 2015-16. Continued Page 9

Time to take out the trash in Green Wedge Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au History in homes: Dorothy Booth, left, and Veronica Hahn have gathered household collectables to be displayed at the Old Bakery Museum in Mentone. Picture: Yanni
World turns but past not forgotten A WORLD of collectible items that were once part of our everyday past is on display at the Old Bakery Museum, Mentone. The ‘Where have all the houses gone?’ exhibition also includes a series of photographs of aesthetically pleasing houses that have long since been knocked down and replaced with townhouses or apartments. The collectibles are from a time pre-and-post war when things were made strongly to last – there was no such term as “planned obsolescence”. Nothing was expected to be just thrown away and everything was expected to be repaired at least once in its lifetime. Shoe soles were repaired at home using metal wear protectors, saucepans had new handles attached and tyres were patched – not replaced. The everyday items were found in everyone’s homes: Dad shaved with them, mum cooked with them, the kids played with them - and everybody used them. The interesting memorabilia donated over the years
includes a Coolgardie safe, range of food mixing devices, tool for stringing beans, metal kitchen utensils, women’s compacts, battery powered home medical apparatus – even a grape-seedling tool. The display provides an intriguing and relevant snapshot of Mordialloc and Mentone is quieter times, when people knew their neighbours and kept a spare key under the mat. Ah, those were the days ... Organiser Dorothy Booth said: “At long last we are up and running and ready for people to come and see where all the houses have gone. “It took us longer than expected, due to illness, but we think people will like our exhibition when they see what is on display. “See if you know anything about the house we are trying to find.” The Where Have All The Houses Gone exhibition is at the Old Bakery Museum, Mentone, Sundays 2-4pm .

RUBBISH tips and concrete crushers will be banned from Kingston’s Green Wedge after a state government decision last week to rezone about 366 hectares of land in Heatherton and Clarinda. The Green Wedge land north of Kingston and Heatherton Rds, and outside the urban growth boundary, was a Special Use Zone meaning waste businesses could operate in the area. Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne announced last Wednesday (14 October) that the land will be rezoned to a Green Wedge A Zone meaning existing waste industry businesses will have to cease operations when their existing leases run out. The decision was made in time to foil an attempt by the Alex Fraser Group to extend its concrete crushing operations in Clarinda until 2038. The company had been due to appeal to VCAT on 26 October against Kingston Council’s decision to refuse a licence extension (‘Come in number C143, your time is (nearly) up’, The News 7/10/15). Council had written to the state government in May asking for a C143 planning amendment to be approved to rezone the land from Special Use to Green Wedge A Zone. Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill welcomed the Planning Minister’s decision to approve council’s rezoning request and hailed it as “a landmark” for future generations. “We’re thrilled to have this major initiative approved. This is no ordinary decision, but instead is one that will bring positive change to the south east of Melbourne for years and decades to come.
“There are very few moments where a council is called upon to make decisions that will endure for generations; this decision is one of those moments. “Council and the community have been clear that the Kingston Green Wedge is no longer a place for the waste industry, and while Kingston is willing to play its part in hosting modern stateof-the-art waste recovery facilities we believe these should be directed towards industrial areas and away from parklands and suburban streets.” The mayor said landfill sites will be “rehabilitated and ultimately turned into public parkland for the chain of parks, a process which will take decades”. Mr Wynne said council can now proceed with long-term plans for the Green Wedge and pursue the chain of parks proposal, freeing up land for open public use, which was drafted in the 1970s. “We said before the election that we would protect Melbourne’s green wedges, and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” he said. “The rezoning will turn this spot into one which families and the community can enjoy, making Kingston a more liveable place to be.” Defenders of the South East Green Wedge secretary Barry Ross said the group is “absolutely delighted” with the Planning Minister’s decision. “This is a mighty victory for the Green Wedge. It’s the most significant step forward to happen in the last decade. “This has made it very clear the government is going to protect the Green Wedge and we hope that will be a deterrent to any other ill-advised attempts to carve it up.” Neighbouring residents have long complained to council about odours and dust from landfills in the Heatherton and Clarinda area.

A PATTERSON Lakes man did a double take when he looked out his kitchen window and saw a woman in her 20s wandering around in his wife’s pink dressing gown, 7.15am, Sunday. The man, 57, ran outside and found his garage door partly open and noticed the dressing gown had been stolen from the clothes line. Inside he saw the woman crouching over his lawn mower holding two screwdrivers. She began to walk towards him with the screw rivers in a menacing manner and he ordered her to put them down. She ignored him, turned, and walked casually out into the street. The man called police who found the screwdrivers outside a neighbour’s house. At the same time a burglary was reported at a nearby house. Later, a resident in the same street called police to say his 2015 Range Rover was missing. It was recovered next day at Doveton. Anyone with information is asked to call Senior Constable Peter Reed, at Moorabbin police, 9556 6565.

A MIDDLE-AGED woman suffered emotional trauma during a parking dispute at the Lakeview shopping centre, Thompsons Rd, Patterson Lakes, 4.30pm, Friday. The woman had parked in a loading bay for a brief period when a man in a nearby space began shouting at her and swearing loudly. The man walked over to the woman’s car and grabbed the driver’s side window and shook it violently. He then allegedly swung his fist and punched the woman in the right cheek. She reported the incident to
Chelsea police. Anyone with information is asked to call them on 8773 3200.
Prescription refused A CHELSEA pharmacist says she was threatened and abused by a man when she refused to fill his prescription, 5.50pm, Thursday. The woman, 27, said the man made threats to kill her and blow up the Nepean Hwy business. She said the man began acting in an aggravated manner after her refusal and caused her to fear for her safety. When he left she says he used a metal object to scratch the window. Police later arrested a man, 36, and allegedly found a metal implement and chain in his pants. He has been remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on charges of making threats to kill. A date is yet to be fixed.
Hell ride A TRAIN ride to Mentone railway station turned sour for a boy, 13, of Dandenong, when his mobile phone was stolen by a 16-year-old youth, of Patterson Lakes. The boy told police the youth sat opposite him and demanded his phone. The boy initially refused but the youth threated to “hack” him – possibly with a knife – if he refused. The youth then went through the phone’s memory and switched it off. When the train stopped and the youth got off, the boy grabbed his jumper and yelled for PSOs who, after a struggle, were able to arrest him. The youth has been bailed to appear at Moorabbin Children’s Court on 18 November.
Off side A WOMAN was seriously injured when allegedly kicked in the lower back by a former acquaintance, 10.30pm, Sunday last week. The incident occurred after a children’s party at a house in Ghiran Ct, Aspendale Gardens. Police say the woman, 28, of Langwarrin, became involved in an argument with the man, 34, of Frankston, when she rejected his advances. He grabbed her arm and she punched him twice in the face in self-defence. The man then allegedly kicked her in the back and she fell to the ground. A bystander intervened and pushed the man away. The woman attended Pearcedale medical centre next day in extreme pain. Anyone with information is asked to call Frankston police on 9774 5555.
Unwelcome guests TWO intruders startled a Regent Pd, Cheltenham, woman cooking in her kitchen, 8pm, Wednesday. The men asked the woman where he husband was and one said: “I want my money.” The men began wandering through the house, opening doors to bedrooms, and stealing a New Zealand passport and $450 cash from a handbag. When the woman tried to call police one of the intruders grabbed the phone and told her: “If your husband doesn’t pay me I will hurt him,” and pointed to knuckle dusters on his fist. The men are described as Caucasian, short black hair, no facial hair, 175cm tall, wearing dark T-shirts and jeans. One of the men was aged in his 40s and the other in his 20s. Anyone with information is asked to call Kingston CIU on 9556 6565.

Saints have each-way punt on pokies Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ST KILDA Football Club has pledged to protect young people “from the risks of gambling” by signing Victoria’s responsible gambling charter but will keep pokies at its soon to be redeveloped Moorabbin headquarters which will also house training facilities for junior footballers. The AFL club, set to receive $13 million of ratepayers and taxpayers’ money from Kingston Council ($5 million) and the state government ($8 million) respectively, to help build state-of-the-art facilities at Moorabbin Reserve was one of three clubs to sign the charter last week for the first time. The Saints joined newcomers Essendon and the Western Bulldogs in signing up to the charter to “join forces” with Hawthorn, Collingwood, North Melbourne and A-League soccer team Melbourne Victory “to spread the word about responsible gambling”. St Kilda FC spokesman Luke Holmesby said the AFL club is working to finalise plans for the $28 million redevelopment of its Linton St base after deciding to return its headquarters to Kingston from Seaford. “Under these plans, gaming machines will remain but the redevelopment allows us to work with the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation to ensure we are best practice and that we adopt their guiding principles,” Mr Holmesby said. The Saints will relinquish all existing sponsorship deals with gambling organisations at the end of this month as part of the responsible gambling charter’s conditions. Mr Holmesby confirmed an associate sponsor agreement with bookmaker Ladbrokes “as ball sponsor” will end this month but
declined to put a figure on the deal, saying the club does not discuss the commercial terms of any of their corporate partnerships. In a media statement released last week the Labor state government and Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation praised the three AFL clubs, including St Kilda, for committing to the responsible gambling charter during Gambling Awareness Week (12-18 October). “The Andrews Labor Government is committed to reducing gambling related harm in our community,” Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Jane Garrett said. “This charter will help to reduce the exposure of young people to gambling through sports and better educate fans, players and members about the risks of gambling.” Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation CEO Serge Sardo said: “The charter is the centrepiece of our Gambling’s not a Game program, which encourages sporting clubs to educate members, officials and fans about the risks of gambling and to promote responsible gambling. “This is not an anti-gambling message. It’s a commitment to minimising the exposure of gambling advertising and gambling culture on young people.” The government statement also read: “Where participating clubs own or operate poker machines, they also commit to promoting the Gambler’s Help venue support program and help services.” Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill has said ratepayers money will not be used to renovate the gaming area of the Moorabbin Reserve redevelopment and he believes council’s contribution means it can have a say in minimising visitors’ exposure to pokies in the licenced area of the venue.

Kids charity push not a gamble Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A FUNDRAISING effort to help sick children that promotes the Melbourne Cup has been given the all-clear by the state government in the same week Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Jane Garrett called on the federal government to crack down on gambling adverts for the sake of young people and children. The Starlight Foundation, a not-forprofit that improves hospital experiences for children and chronically ill teenagers, has partnered with Victoria Racing Club to sell “pin & win” Melbourne Cup lapel pins to raise money for the Starlight Express Room at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital. Ms Garrett told The Age newspaper last week the state government is keen to begin “a national conversation” around sports betting advertising’s effect on children and said federal laws should limit the “bombardment” of gambling ads. When The News tried to ask the Minister whether it is appropriate that gambling – via the Melbourne Cup and Victoria Racing Club – is effectively being promoted using children below the state’s legal gambling age, government spokesman Kosta Pandos forwarded a statement “attributable to a government spokesperson”. “The fundraising activity being conducted by the Victorian Racing Club appears to be intended to promote and raise funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation,” the statement read. “It does not appear to promote

gambling or increase the exposure of children to gambling. “The state government is concerned about the impact of gambling advertising on children and young people. The Minister for Gaming has written
to the federal government regarding the need to address the negative impacts of broadcast and online gambling advertising.” The News has been approached by a public relations firm working for
the Starlight Foundation offering to arrange an interview with a local ill teenager to promote the Pin & Win fundraising campaign. In a statement promoting campaign, VRC chief executive Simon Love said
BURDETT’S
that it was important to the club to be able to give back to the community through the Melbourne Cup Carnival each year. “The VRC is incredibly proud to partner with Starlight this year and we encourage everyone who comes to Flemington to purchase a pin and join us in supporting Starlight to make a real difference in the lives of sick children and their families. “Over the last 20 years through Pin & Win and the extraordinary generosity of our members, sponsors and the public we’ve helped local charities raise more than $4 million, and we’re excited to welcome Starlight to the Flemington family this year,” Mr Love said. The Melbourne Cup pins will also be sold at Woolworths and BWS liquor stores in Victoria. Starlight Foundation spokeswoman Nicole Campbell said the sale of the Melbourne Cup pins in retail outlets and by volunteers elsewhere “is a raffle”. “Starlight’s Pin & Win community partnership with the Victoria Racing Club aims to raise enough funds to support 15,000 seriously ill children and their families who frequent the Starlight Express Room at the Royal Children’s Hospital.” Buyers of limited edition $10 horseshoe diamante pins and $5 Emirates Melbourne Cup pins will enter a draw to win several prizes, including a new Lexus sports car. See starlight.org.au for details of the Pin and Win fundraising campaign.

Tracks to reopen: The Frankston Motorcycle Park will be open again after the facility was shut in April following a fatal collision on the main track. Picture: Gary Sissons
Motorcycle park open for summer KEEN motocross riders will be able to take to the track again at the Frankston Motorcycle Park after the Frankston City Motor Park Incorporated club signed a new lease agreement last Wednesday (14 October). The motorcycle park has been closed since of the death of 25-year-old Danny Edlington in early April after a collision on the main track at the Frankston Motorcycle Park (‘Fatality closes motorcycle track’, The Times 13/4/15). Council has agreed to a new management model and the park will now operate under an affiliation with Motorcycling Victoria. Club members will be covered by MV’s insurance policy. The imminent reopening of the park ends months of uncertainty over the future of the facility. Club president Ralph Ridley welcomed the signing of the lease. “We look forward to welcoming our mem-
bers back to the motorcycle park and working together to get back to doing what we all love,” he said. Council set up a transition committee, including members of the motorcycle club committee, to find a way to reopen the track “without compromising the safety of riders”. Cr Glenn Aitken, chair of the transition committee, thanked all those involved for their patience and time spent working with council to reopen the motorcycle park. “If we hadn’t had the cooperation of the club’s committee membership, the track wouldn’t be reopening,” Cr Aitken said. “I also wish to acknowledge the participation and assistance of Motorcycling Victoria.” The club will manage memberships and fees at the motorcycle park and will shortly announce the reopening date to their members.

Casting an eye on snapper anglers
PAGE 8
FISHERIES officers are out to make sure anglers follow snapper bag and size limits in Western Port and Port Phillip bays. Anyone caught over the limit will face $433 on-the-spot fines for each offence, have their boats seized or be banned from fishing. Fisheries Victoria executive director Travis Dowling said officers would enforce catch limits, check fishing licences and educate anglers about fishing responsibly under Operation Billit. “Snapper are an icon fish so it is important anglers fish sustainably by obeying the rules, knowing their limits and taking only what they need,” Mr Dowling said. “Officers will be undertaking patrols in uniform and plain clothes, and from marked and unmarked vessels, including jet skis, which are a new addition to the fleet this year.” Mr Dowling said boats would be checked on the water and at boat ramps. “Those concealing illegal snapper catches aboard should expect to have their vessel seized on the spot and, for serious offences, the courts can prohibit anglers from fishing altogether for periods of one year or more,” he said. Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 21 October 2015
Mr Dowling said fishing sustainably for snapper meant following a few simple rules: Abide by the minimum size of 28cm and the bag limit of 10, of which only three can equal or exceed 40cm, and land snapper whole so they can be measured by officers if required. He said it was illegal to make several fishing trips in one day returning with the bag limit each time. It was illegal to shorten the length of a snapper by clipping their tails or for one angler to use more than four lines. Rules are outlined in the Recreational Fishing Guide, which is available free from most tackle stores or by downloading the free Vic Fishing app for smartphones. Fisheries officers and Maritime Safety Victoria officers will also check to make sure boats are carrying the correct safety equipment; stay clear of ships while under way; and do not anchor in shipping channels or fairways. Suspicious or illegal snapper fishing can be reported to Fisheries Victoria’s 24-hour reporting line 13FISH (133474).
Yarn art trail inspires IMAGINATIONS young and old will be treated to a display of interesting creations on Longbeach Place’s storybook yarn art trail running throughout October. Residents are invited to wander about the community to see art works created with yarn. Myriad displays and exhibits will show off elves and fairies, local flora and fauna, as well as story book creations Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, The Magic Beach, Elmer the Patchwork Elephant, Charlotte and the Ants, Noah’s Ark, The Tree of Life and even the wetlands. Children will hear the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as they wander along Wonka Walk and thrill to the magic of the bush along the Possum Magic Food Trail. The Wonka Walk, at noon today (Wednesday) starts at St Francis Xavier Primary School and heads past St Francis Xavier parish and Frankston Primary School. It then tours the display in the courtyard at Cube 37 before meandering past a few local businesses and ending at Frankston library which will have its own display. Frankston senior citizens’ groups will be involved, as well as the Baden Powell, Delacombe Park and Bayview kindergartens, and Ballam Park Preschool. St Anne’s Primary School, Seaford, has been sweetening up the pathways with their colourful finger-knitted lollipops. The Possum Magic food trail – to be held during Children’s Week 24 October-1 November – runs along Argyle Av, between Fowler St and the bike track, and then along the bike track to Bicentennial Park. Follow as Hush the young possum travels Australia and eats some good Australian food. Longbeach Place manager Lorna Stevenson said the storybook yarn art trail “crosses all age barriers and engages the whole community”. “It’s a really positive and wellness kind of project,” she said.
Council relaxed about rates cap Continued from Page 1 “Kingston Council is very serious about providing quality services to our community in a financially responsible manner and has consistently seen rate rises below the state average,” Mr Franklin said. Government statistics show Kingston Council’s rates have risen an average of 6.6 per cent over the past decade, with a 10 per cent rise in 2007-08 and 9.8 per cent jump in 2011-12 two financially painful peaks for ratepayers. An Essential Services Commission report on Labor’s plan to cap council rates has recommended an annual cap of 3.05 per cent but the state government has not decided on a rate rise limit yet. Councils will be able to appeal to the ESC to raise rates above any cap limit “in extraordinary circumstances” once the government’s policy comes into force.

THE Carrum Downs branch of Bendigo Bank is holding a charity auction for the Lehane family on Sunday 25 October, 2.30-6pm at the Seaford Hotel, 362 FrankstonDandenong Rd, Seaford. The bank has set up a fundraising account for the family of Andrea Lehane, who died in after a collision with a monkey bike at Carrum Downs Regional Shopping Centre last month. Ms Lehane is survived by her husband James and children aged 3 and 4. See bendigobank.com.au or call Bendigo Bank on 1300 236 344 for information about the charity auction.
Soccer women go in search of coaches THE new Women’s National Premier League soccer consortium Southern United is interviewing prospective coaches and plans to announce appointees soon. Its policy is that, if a male candidate is successful, then the best female candidate will be offered an assistantcoaching role. The consortium represents one of the largest catchment areas in Victoria. It is an amalgam of Casey Comets, Mornington, Langwarrin, Seaford United and Peninsula Strikers juniors. The interim board consists of
Michael Woodward (Strikers and exlocal zone representative), Rob Harrington (Strikers), Rosemary Meeds (Mornington), Dawn Stone (Casey Comets), Stuart McLeod (Casey Comets), James Honey (Langwarrin) and Willie Lynn (Seaford United). Board elections are expected to be held in November, with the format still to be decided. Southern United will play its home games on a rotating basis at Casey Comets, Mornington and Langwarrin as they fulfil the match-day venue criteria. Training will be shared among the other consortium members.
“This is the first time so many different clubs in the local area have come together to form the one club,” organiser Craig MacKenzie said. “There is great expectation throughout the Casey, Frankston and peninsula areas that it can hit the ground running in 2016 and make an immediate impact.” Southern United trial dates and venues for Southern area Under-13, 15 and 18 girls’ teams will be held 10am-noon, Saturday 24 October, Lawton Park, Barrett’s Rd, Langwarrin.
Get united behind soccer team SOUTHERN United Football Club has been awarded one of eight new Women’s National Premier League licences for next season. It will soon hold trials for under-13, under-15 and under-18 players from all over the Mornington Peninsula, with successful players called back for a second round. Southern area trials will be held at Langwarrin Soccer Club, Barretts Rd, Langwarrin South, 10am-noon, Saturday 24 October. South East Area trials will be held 6.30-8.30pm, Tuesday 20 October and Thursday 22 October, at Casey Comets Soccer Club, O’Tooles Rd, Cranbourne. Club treasurer Rosemary Meads sees it as an “historic event for the peninsula as it was the first time female soccer players wishing to play at an elite level – state and national – can train and play locally. Traditionally they have had to travel 45 minutes to over an hour to play with a club of this level.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Six year old girl dies after train fall Compiled by Melissa Walsh PRIVATE A. McArthur, of Mornington, is reported wounded. *** ON account of the ordinary train being cancelled on Saturday, the mails will arrive at 5.14, and be delivered up to 6 pm at the local post office, *** DR and Mrs Maxwell are at present spending a holiday at Healesville. Dr Bartram is attending to duties in the meantime. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Horticultural Society will be held on Monday evening next, when Mr T. M. Bourke will deliver a lecture on cooperation. *** A welcome home, will be given Lieutenant Fisher, Sergeant Polglase and Private O. Young at the Wattles Club dance this evening. *** OUR readers are reminded that Professor Mudd will deliver his lecture “Will we win this War?” in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, on Thursday evening next. He will also deliver it at Tyabb on Monday, at Somerville on Tuesday, and at Langwarrin on Wednesday evening. The chair will be taken at 8 o’clock on each evening. *** OWNERS of canine pets are warned to keep them on the chain at present if they wish to keep them alive, for some low-down despicable scoundrel is laying poisoned baits broadcast about the township, and quite a number of
residents have lost their favorite dogs by this means. It is a pity that the perpetrator of these acts cannot be traced, and get meted out to him the punishment he so richly deserves. *** WHILE travelling in a train with her parents from Melbourne to Mornington on Friday last, Mary Way, aged six, living in Glencairn avenue, Coburg, fell out of an open door, sustaining depressed fracture of the skull. She was taken to the Children’s Hospital and operated on but she died on Saturday morning. The girl’s father, David Way, a clerk in the Railway department, says he was travelling with his wife and six children. When about a mile from the Carrum railway station a door of the carriage swung open, and the child, who was sitting near a window next her sister fell out. He is unable to account for the opening of the door. *** THE following letter has been received from Driver A. G. Young, from Heliopolis Hospital, Cairo, dated August, 29th. As you see, I am still here though I don’t suppose it will be many days longer now—in fact, I expect to be sent to a convalescent camp any day. Am feeling A1 again, though still a bit weak. The Doctor let me up the other day for the first time. When I asked him if I could, he gave a bit of a grin and said “Oh Yes! Get up by all means, but don’t go playing football, or anything like that.” I didn’t notice the sarcasm, but I remembered his grin as soon as I did get up. My knees
played “God save the King”, and all the other national anthems and I was jolly glad to crawl back to bed again. I am being fed on jelly, chicken, beef, tea etc. and I am getting better every day. It is very lonely though, and I have not seen a soul I know since Kenny Webb came to see me. I expected him again yesterday, but he didn’t turn up. Luckily there is plenty of reading matter here so I don’t do too badly on the whole. I expect by the time you get this I will be back on Gallipoli again. I hope to be at any rate. Egypt is no good to me; and though Gallipoli is no blooming modern garden of Eden it will always do me in preference to Egypt. I have managed to scrape up enough paper to write through tearing out bank leaves from three books I have been reading. By the way you wouldn’t credit the number of books I have been through to get these three pages. I think others must have been on the same game as myself—in fact, several others, or else the publishers show lamentable want of foresight in not including a few blanks in all their books. I have been here on my back for nearly 3 weeks—19 days to be exact, and though they treat you alright, I will be glad to get my marching orders. It must be nearly a month now since I was taken on to the hospital boat and for a while I had a pretty rotten time, but it will be “what ho!” for Johnny the Turk again soon. The first few weeks over there were awful. I don’t think I could go through the same ex-
perience again but I was wonderfully lucky, and got nothing worse than a few frights, a scratch on the arm, and a hole through a brand new packet of cigarettes. That happened just before I got the fever though, and when there was comparatively little lead about. It was shrapnel in both cases, and I think the loss of the cigarettes was the worst mishap of the two. I didn’t even have to go to the doctor with my arm, and I am afraid the scar— not quite as big as a threepenny bit— will not last till I get hone. I think I had better get a photo taken of it before it goes. I am keeping the cigarettes as a curio, but I hope I don’t run too short of tobacco, or I will be tempted to smoke them though they are all in halves. Vagg, who was wounded during the first week, came in again yesterday with a batch of wounded and sick. He was not wounded again, but his old wound was giving him trouble. I saw Oliver several times over there (which means Gallipoli) and he was OK. We had a few yarns together, but you can imagine we didn’t get too much time to ourselves. He gave me two letters from home though, the first I had seen for—oh several years. It is months since I had a letter but have filled in a form and sent to base (where the letters are first sorted) and they have promised to send them on. The Sisters here are splendid, and they seem to be run off their legs. An old lady who visits here two or three times a week, asked me where I came from, and I said Victoria. “Oh Yes” she said “I’ve been there three times
on my way home. I stayed a couple of days there— not right in Victoria, but in the suburbs.” I was nearly going to ask her if it was King Island or Tassy she stayed at, but thought I’d better not. I wish to goodness the war would hurry up and finish, so that a fellow could get home. It looks like lasting a while yet though. *** THE season’s prospects are considerably above what were foreshadowed last year, though the spring here is later than was foreshadowed a month or two ago. Heavy August and September rains were the chief cause. The spring has, however, fairly started and all grass, crops and orchard prospects seem excellent. The recent efforts of the Roads’ Board seconded by those of the local councillor have given us main and bye roads rather better in quality than we possessed last year, though there still remains plenty of room for more effort. The use of a road grader seems to be justified in the ease and quickness by which dangerous roads can be made to assume quite a workman-like aspect. The good work of the Balnarring Red Cross League continues. The complete receipts for the Jumble Fair held on 18th ult. is £37 8s 1d. £3 3s were sent to the “Xmas at the front” appeal, and £3 3s to the Australian Red Cross Society. The balance £31 2s 1d is to be spent for local necessities—wool, flannel, etc, for the soldiers’ needs. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 October, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
An Open Letter to Tucker Carlson of ‘Fox and Friends’ By Stuart McCullough YOU have some nerve, mister. When I first heard you’d said Australia ‘has no freedom’, my first instinct was to call emergency services; that’s how convinced I was that your pants were on fire. What possessed you! (I’d like to think is was the ghost of Ethel Merman, in which case it wouldn’t have been something you said so much as sang whilst wearing a pair of fishnets. That’s just a personal preference, of course.) I understand you made this somewhat astonishing claim whilst debating gun control. Maybe it something you said in the heat of the moment – if your trousers were ablaze, the heat of the moment would have been pretty intense. Normally when writing to a wellknown TV presenter, this is the point at which I say I’m a long-term fan. Fact is, though, I’d never heard of ‘Fox and Friends’. The name of your program sounds immensely convivial; a place where bonhomie is always in plentiful supply and comrades warm themselves around an open fire with a tumbler of whiskey whilst swapping amusing anecdotes before falling to the floor in an inebriated heap. Alternatively, I thought it might have something to do with Basil Brush, the beloved children’s puppet. Sadly, your show does not centre on an amusing anthropomorphic fox, nor are their tumblers of whiskey and an open fire. More’s the pity. The first thing I’d say about ‘Fox and Friends’ is that furniture seems to be in short supply. Presumably that’s why all three of you are sitting on the same couch, looking supremely un-
Dissin’ Oz: Nobody can knock Australia except for Australians! Source: Twitter
comfortable and so uptight that if the energy expended in clenching your buttocks together could be harnessed, it would surely power a small village. The three of you look like you’re waiting for a job interview. Perhaps the lack of comfortable seating goes
someway to explaining your extraordinary outburst. The other point that becomes immediately obvious upon even the most cursory of glances is that ‘Fox and Friends’ not so much combat between intellectual gladiators as it is a
drunken scuffle in the car park. I’m not sure I can even call it a ‘debate’. This was not so much a case of reasoned argument as it was mild hysteria. Granted, sometimes hysteria can be a good thing: ask any Def Leppard fan. Sometimes, however, hysteria can be soul-numbingly disappointing, as anyone who’s had to listen to a nextdoor neighbour perform ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’ at three o’clock in the morning can surely attest. I hate to be the one to tell you, but Australia does have freedom. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that we have oodles of the stuff, so much so that it sits around in buckets. Just this morning, I scraped a chunk of it off the bottom of my shoe. Trust me, you can’t turn around in this country without tripping over a pile of freedom. Had you done your research, you’d have known that ‘freedom’ is, in fact, Australia’s third largest export, just behind iron ore and Hugh Jackman. You also claimed that people can go to prison for expressing unpopular views in Australia. Were that true, then proceedings for your extradition to our fair land would already have commenced. Actually, we’d probably be doing you a favour. Not only does Australia have plenty of freedom, it has enough chairs for everyone – you’d never have to sit awkwardly on a couch with other people again. Ever. In making these claims, you did not cite any specific examples, research or statistics. Frankly, I envy you. It must be glorious to live in a fact-free Universe where evidence is regarded as a trivial inconvenience that can be bypassed. Things must be so much easier
that way. I must say that until this current controversy, I had no idea who you were so I ‘Googled’ you. Granted, doing so is perilously close to research and, accordingly, you probably consider it an affront, but I wanted to get a better idea of where you were coming from. Wikipedia describes you as a ‘pundit’. I can only assume that the designation of ‘pundit’ relieves you of the burden of any actual effort to support your views. It must be awesome. There’s no nice way to say this, Tucker, so I’ll resort to some Australian vernacular. Frankly, your remarks have gone down like a cold cup of sick. Some people have gone so far as to suggest that you’ve made a complete goose of yourself. If you’re not careful, we may seek to punish you by inviting you to some rubbishy pseudoliterary festival or making you responsible for half-time entertainment at the next Australian Rules Grand Final. (Trust me, it’s a poison chalice. Just ask Meat Loaf.) Luckily, you can avoid all this unpleasantness. Don’t let the first thing that pops into your head escape over your lips. Next time you think about shooting your mouth off about gun control (sorry for the pun), stop and think instead. Granted, stopping and thinking makes for awkward television, but it makes for much better discussion. Better yet, you might want to get down here. Call it a ‘fact finding’ mission and I will personally give you a guided tour of the joint. Until then, I look forward to your imminent retraction. Kind regards, Stuart McCullough, Tyabb, Australia. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

SALON SUCCESS Salon des Refusés has established an excellent reputation that rivals the selections of the ‘official’ prize exhibitions and is often cited as a more lively and discerning selection.

These are hardly ever found in their purest forms, but being taken to their extremes provide interesting harmonies and tones. Yellow was Luke’s favourite colour and so at Rosie’s request some of the space is yellow in his memory.”
Local Mornington Peninsula artist Christopher Pyett painted Rosie Batty. He says of his portrait: “I approached Rosie to ask her to sit for

BRAITHWAITE ROCKS THE CHELSEA HEIGHTS By Melissa Walsh Daryl Braithwaite and band will be performing at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on November 2. Braithwaite, the former Countdown King of Pop is looking forward to returning to the Chelsea Heights, where they have always had a great reception. “We are heading to the Chelsea Heights again, which is a great gig. The venue is terrific with lots of space and a great sound,” says Braithwaite. “It’s the audience that make it and the Chelsea Heights always delivers.” Braithwaite has spent most of his life doing what he loves, and after more than 40 years in the music industry, is still going strong, releasing his latest album, Forever The Tourist, a couple of years ago, and continuing to play gigs every weekend. “I love singing and performing on stage, and
the spontaneity of live gigs,” says Braithwaite, who has spent a bit of time on the peninsula surfing, his other great passion.
Horses and Howzat always sure to get the crowd pumping, and throwing in a few from Forever the Tourist as well.
“It’s just really important to keep passionate about what you do,” says Daryl. “I was lucky enough to have a great start with Sherbet in 1970. We were all guys just doing what we loved, and I can’t believe I still get to do it.”
“It’s taken a while for it to take off but “Not Too Late” is becoming popular at the gigs now too which is awesome. It proves that its never too late and you just have to be persistent.”
Braithwaite says performing is not hard work at all.
Braithwaite says the band is looking forward to the November Chelsea Heights gig.
“I sometimes feel guilty. I have mates who have normal jobs and I still get to do this for a living,” he says with a laugh. “Although over the years I take the live aspect very seriously as far as the sound and the lights and that we play with a purpose.”
“Its one of the bigger pubs and I have grown to enjoy it a lot over the years,” says Braithwaite, who has been playing with the same band for decades. “John is the longest serving band member, at around 25 years and the others have been around 20 years together.”
Braithwaite and the band will be playing a heap of the old favourites, of course with

Braithwaite says it’s all about having passion for the music and performing. “Its like anything. If you enjoy it you will put the work in.” And as for writing, he says it’s not his favourite thing to do but every now and again an idea will hit him. “Its funny, I actually had an idea today for a song about summer, I haven’t decided yet but I was walking through the lobby of the hotel and started thinking about it. You never know what might come out of it,” he says. With a voice that soars with inspiration, soul and warmth, following the success of Sherbet, and an incredible solo career, Braithwaite continues to play sell out gigs across Australia and the Chelsea Heights is no exception.
Granny’s guide to babywearing By Yvette O’Dowd HAVE you ever seen a young mum with her baby seemingly strapped against her body with what looks like a tablecloth? Welcome to the modern take of the ancient art of babywearing! Babywearing is a way of both carrying and comforting babies and toddlers and is as old as time. Yet, while most cultures around the world have continued the practice uninterrupted, the western world lost its way when prams were invented. In many countries, wearing babies became associated with hippies, incense and mung beans! Thankfully, Australia worked out that baby slings gave busy mothers free hands to get on with things way back in the 1960s! The Founder of the Nursing Mothers’ Association of Australia (NMAA), Mary Paton, created a scene when she was photographed for the Herald newspaper with her baby on her back in a sling while she vacuumed! The newspaper office was flooded with enquiries and NMAA went on the produce their Meh Tai baby carrier for almost 50 years!! Europe caught on when another mum brought South American tradition to modern Germany and the US came
on-board in the 1980s when a paediatrician brought ring slings to the mainland from Hawaii and the Over The Shoulder Baby Holder was born! I was one of those mothers turning heads, when I wore my own babies born in the 80s and early 90s. And despite the warnings of clingy, dependent children, I watched my children grow into confident, independent adults! It turns out babywearing helps form secure attachments between parent and child and is recognised for reducing crying and unsettled
behaviour. Now a new generation are enjoying this special bond. Since those early days, baby carrier designs have evolved and changed, drawing on the wisdom of traditional cultures as well as the wonders of modern materials. Today, social media and internet retailers have seen a new wave of interest in babywearing. There is even an International Babywearing Week held each year! Safe and comfortable babywearing is the focus of educators and consult-
ants, who have developed guidelines known as the T.I.C.K.S. Community groups, like South Eastern Babywearing Group, run sling meets where parents can come together to share tips and techniques, help newcomers choose from an overwhelming range of options and learn about babywearing safety. So – back to those metres of tablecloths! Woven wraps, often 5m long, are just one type of carrier. From budget-friendly mass production to bespoke hand-woven works of art, these eye-catching pieces which wrap origami-like around the adult body actually hold both babies and toddlers securely and safely. Practiced techniques amaze onlookers who wonder if they should offer to help – but it’s okay, mum or dad knows what they are doing. Other options include shorter fabric pieces locked at the shoulder by metal rings or traditional Asian designs where a simple rectangle with a strap at each corner. And for those confused by all that fabric, modern designers come to the rescue with ergonomics, buckles and straps providing the support of a traditional carrier with the convenience of modern back packs!

And if the idea of strapping a baby to your chest and walking along the beach front sounds a bit tame, then there are even exercise classes which incorporate babywearing into routines designed to get new mums off the couch and moving back towards fitness! So, next time you spot a local mum deftly securing her baby before setting off through the farmers market pram-free and ready to shop, give her a smile and admire her style – she’s wearing her baby and continuing an ancient tradition in a modern world. *** Yvette O’Dowd probably isn’t your typical grandmother.

Islanders in command PROVINCIAL
By IT Gully LONG Island has placed itself in a commanding position against Pines in MPCA Provincial cricket after scoring 9/263 on day one of the match. Despite a shaky start that saw the home team 3/49, Islanders’ skipper Scott Phillips (70), along with Justin Bridgeman (31) took the score to 117. Strong performances from Andrew Tweddle (49) and keeper Michael Chaplin (42) in the middle order then ensured the Islanders batted out their 80 overs and posted a strong score. Craig Entwhistle and Nick Wilcox each claimed a couple of wickets each for the Piners.
The Piners will need to bat a lot better than they did in the opening round last week to be any chance of victory. Langwarrin gave up a solid start but still managed to post a competitive score of 228 against Sorrento. The opening pair of Matt Prosser (77) and Simon McEvoy put on 128 for the opening stand but the Kangas pretty much lost their way after that. Jake Prosser scored 22 batting at three and Mitch Bromley was more than handy again in the middle order, however, the rest failed. Jayden Morgan was the surprise packet, opening the bowling and claiming 3/56 from 20 overs, while Bobby Parslow put on a show, snaring 5/25 from 18.5 overs. He bowled 11 maidens.
Mornington has again failed with the bat, this time against Moorooduc. However, the Dogs’ bowlers have placed them in the box seat. The Doggies struggled against Langwarrin last week in the one day game and on Saturday, limped to 177 against the Ducs. Brad McDonald top scored with 59 and Michael Heib scored 36. The home side rolled their more fancied opponents in the 66th over. Leigh Lambert (3/27 from 19), Sushant Gupta (3/33) and Ross Cordeaux (3/31) were more than solid for the Ducs. Unfortunately, the Moorooduc batsmen couldn’t sustain the good work done earlier and fell to 3/30 after facing the final 14 overs of the
afternoon. Dogs’ quick Luke Popov has 2/13 Only three Baxter batsmen made more than 10 runs on Saturday against Rye, however, it was enough to give them a competitive total of 205. Dale Irving hit 67, Shane McComb 49 and Ben Matters 46 at the Greg Beck Oval. Tom Baron was superb for the Demons, taking 7/63 from 33 overs. Max Cairns was a solid support opening the bowling with two wickets. Dale Irving and Chamika Sattambi then went to work with the ball for Baxter, picking up two early wickets to have the visitors 2/12 at stumps. Brad Rossborough has once again started the season in blistering fashion, smacking an unbeaten 110 for
Somerville against Mt Eliza. Rossborough received some solid support from Nick Marshall (44) at the top of the order and Jack Barbour (20) late in the innings, however, no other batsman got into double figures. Somehow, thanks to Rossborough, the Eagles batted their 80 overs for 235 runs. Nick Baron was the pick of the Mt Eliza bowlers with 5/39 from 18 overs. Peninsula Old Boys dominated the first day of their match against Crib Point. The visitors won the toss and batted first and made 8/301 in their 80 overs. Brad Arnold and Glen Barclay picked-up two wickets each for the Magpies.
Miller lifts the Hills DISTRICT
By IT Gully IT’S been a long time since Heatherhill has dominated a day of cricket but it certainly did that on day one of their MPCA District clash against Flinders. The domination came on the back of young gun Kristian Miller, who smashed 133 against the Sharks. Opening the innings, Miller clubbed 18 fours and two sixes as he dominated all eight Flinders bowlers used to try and dismiss him. Jake Theobald provided solid support for him early with 35 before skipper Nathan Martin got in on the act and helped himself to 66. Miller was eventually dismissed by Max Royal before Jordan Creely (32) and Zach Horsley (20) had a bit of fun at the end. The Hills posted a more than competitive 7/299. Royal was the best of the Flinders’ bowlers with 3/72 while the evergreen Shane Beggs claimed two wickets. Pearcedale’s start to the season in District ranks continued in impressive fashion against Boneo, posting 288 from 80 overs. Chris Dew dominated with 91, Matt Cousland opened with 53, Mitch Andrew scored 42 and Max Blackburn hit 33 to help the Panthers to the big total. Sean Spencer was the best of the Boneo bowlers with 4/53, while Cam Williams claimed 3/70. Seaford Tigers are in some real strife against Baden Powell after being rolled in the 52nd over for just 126. Jon Plakourakis top scored for the Tigers at the top of the order with 33, while Corey Hand scored 20 in the middle order. The Braves shared the wickets around. Tom Wood was the pick of them though with 3/24 from 11
overs. In reply, the Braves are cruising at 1/89 with Wood dominating with 64 in just 28 overs. The match between Carrum and Red Hill is sure to go down to the wire after 14 wickets fell on the first day. The Hillmen won the toss and sent Carrum into bat. It proved to be a good decision, the Lions rolled for just 152. Hayden Moulton saved the day for the home side with 64, while new skipper Andy Johnson hit 26. Brent Martin picked up three wickets and Glenn Collett opened with the more than tidy figures of 2/34 from 15 overs. However, in reply, the Hillmen are in some early trouble at 4/44 after Jeremy Graves grabbed 3/16. Simon Dart is still at the crease. Main Ridge is in some trouble against Seaford, resuming on day two at 3/41, chasing 201. Earlier in the day, the Ridge were superb with the ball, rolling the home side in just 63 overs. Chris Cleef top scored for Seaford with 55 and Ryan McQueen scored 42. Luke Collins (3/37) and Nick McNamara each took two wickets for the Ridge. Gareth Wyatt is not out 19. Mt Martha has set Delacombe Park a modest total of 187 for victory. The Reds opened well with Alex Mason scoring 56 and Mitchel Darville hitting 40, while Kade Bendle was superb in the middle order with 53. They were the only three batsmen to get into double figures. Shane Deal picked up 5/56 for the Parkers. In reply, Delacombe is 0/12 from three overs. 187 looks lean at Delacombe Park and the Reds’ bowlers will need to be at their best.

Skyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the limit for Buds SUB-DISTRICT
By IT Gully Rosebud will head into day two of its match against Skye in a commanding position after belting 9/316 in 76 overs on Saturday. A superb 108 from young keeper Kane Donald set up the massive total, however, it came on the back of some solid early batting as well. Matt Maher scored 60 batting at four and skipper Brad Glenn hit 36. Jason Mathers was rolled for a duck. Pat Clish was the best of the Skye bowlers, claiming all five of the nine wickets. Skye faced the final four overs of the day but escaped without loss. Dromana has some work to do on day two to get the win against Hastings. The Hoppers batted first after winning the toss and scored 168. Andrew West top scored with 39 and Darren Kerr opened with 32, while Zac Klan made a cameo 22 late in the innings.
