Twins, triplets make classes a family affair

Luxury Queen Mattresses from only $999

TEACHERS and staff at Frankston High School could be forgiven for sometimes thinking they are seeing double, or even triple.

Classes in the current year 12 have achieved some sort of record with the inclusion five sets of twins and one set of triplets.

Luckily, only two of the twins and two of the triplets are identical and they all have different interests.

Ward funds still on chopping block Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au AN incoming state government will press ahead with axing councillors’ discretionary ward funds no matter which major political party wins next month’s state election.

The Times can reveal the Liberal and Labor parties both intend to ban ward grants as part of a wider clampdown on councillors’ conduct across Victoria.

The Local Government Inspectorate investigated the use of ward funds by 32 of the state’s councils last year and found just four councils – Greater Dandenong City Council, Maribyrnong City Council, South Gippsland City Council and Greater Geelong City Council - had “demonstrated accountable practices” when distributing ward funds.

The LGI found insufficient governance around most councils’ ward funds programs meant “fraudulent or corrupt practices by individual councillors, whereby funds may be committed to self-interest groups” could occur.

Frankston Council was named as one of several councils “where the administration of a council’s councillors’ discretionary funds program may give rise to serious breaches of the [Local Government] Act.” The report noted “[Frankston] councillors have publicly committed funds to sports groups, and advertised this in council publications, just prior to the election period.”

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said council revised its ward funds process “as a result of the release of the Inspectorate Report”.

“The amended process requires all

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden

discretionary fund allocations to be approved by the full council upon the tabling of an appropriate Notice of Motion by an individual councillor including supporting documentation,” Mr Hovenden said.

“These arrangements are still in place today and the process is both fair and transparent.”

Frankston’s nine councillors are currently able to distribute $135,000 to community groups or individuals each financial year. Each councillor has a discretionary ward funds limit of $15,000.

The Coalition state government moved to ban ward funds as part of a bill to set higher conduct standards for councillors but was unable to pass the legislation before the end of Parliament’s sitting term before next month’s state election.

Labor spokesman for local government Richard Wynne told The Times the opposition agreed with most of the provisions within the legislation but

had failed to reach compromise with the state government on some of the detail.

“This legislation has been sitting in the parliament for weeks and we’ve been ready to debate it,” Mr Wynne said.

“It shows how chaotic this government has become that they couldn’t get such an important piece of legislation passed.”

Mr Wynne said Labor would “absolutely” seek to scrap the ward grants program across Victoria if it wins government next month.

“It is vital the use of public funds is transparent,” he said.

Local Government Minister Tim Bull said the Coalition government “is committed to implementing reforms to strengthen council governance and councillor conduct.”

“A re-elected Napthine Government will ensure this Bill is re-introduced and passed as quickly as possible at the beginning of the next term of Parliament,” Mr Bull said.

“The only reason this much-needed reform has not already become law is due to Labor’s obstructionism in the Parliament.”

Mr Wynne said Labor had disagreed on giving mayors the power to throw councillors out of council chambers during debates and removing the right of an individual councillor to abstain from voting on a matter before council.

He said Labor also did not back the Coalition’s push to have an independent person be involved in the selection of council CEOs. “That’s a matter for councils,” Mr Wynne said.

Tying the knot

FRANKSTON MP Geoff Shaw took time out for a special ceremony before the election campaign heats up ahead of the state election on 29 November. Mr Shaw married Bianca Shaw yesterday, Sunday 26 October, as family and friends celebrated the couple’s union.

Disability no deterrent to Adam Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A SEVERE physical disability hasn’t prevented Frankston High School student Adam Goodridge from completing his Year 12 studies.

He inspires his classmates – and even his senior campus principal, Helen Wilson.

And, as a salute to his achievements, Adam has been presented with the school’s Optima Semper award reflecting the motto, ‘Of Best Always’.

Adam has had athetoid quadriplegic cerebral palsy since birth, due to damage to his brain while it was developing.

Even though he is unable to physically speak or write, he uses a speech device as well as a laptop to communicate with his teachers and fellow students and to submit his work.

The disability is no deterrent to Adam’s enthusiasm for school life: He participates in all activities, including sports classes, swimming sessions, weight lifting, presentation nights, the Year 12 formal and the valedictory dinner.

“He even took over a section of the dance floor with his moves at the formal!” Mrs Wilson said.

“Adam is a very conscientious student, always submitting his work on time to the best of his abilities – and he has a great sense of humour.”

A huge Richmond fan, Adam often has a bet with a year level coordinator when the Tigers play the Sydney Swans: if Richmond wins, the coordinator has to walk around in black and yellow for a day, if Sydney wins, Adam has to have red and white balloons on his wheelchair.

Adam has this year successfully completed English, Further Mathematics, Business Management, Accounting and Information Technology.

His passion is information technology, and next year he hopes to study for a diploma in Computer Systems or Information Technology at Chisholm Institute.

Monster sale THE Joy of the Earth community garden is having a ‘monster garage sale’ 9am-1pm, Saturday 15 November. Lots of bargains will include books, clothes, furniture, plants, jewellery and handmade crafts. Enjoy a sausage sizzle, cakes, and hot and cold drinks.

The garden is at 15A Joy St, Frankston, behind the health centre/kindergarten.

‘Once were leaders’

MAX Gillies’ performance of ‘Once Were Leaders’ will be held at the Frankston Arts Centre, Davey St, at 7.30pm, Saturday 1 November.

Gillies has been a keen observer of the political combat zone for half a century. His fascination with the ups and downs of political leadership is variously sociological, historical, behavioural, psychological, ideological and parody.

Once Gillies used to apply make-up, wigs and prosthetic enhancements in order to disguise himself. He doesn't have those bits and pieces anymore. But he has accumulated a rich collection of pen portraits.

Join him as he shares memories of a life spent on the fringes of power, mining the archive for his favourite speeches, orations and soliloquies.

The show is over two hours and 20 minutes, including interval.

Prices: Member $45, full $55, concession $50.

More selfies needed No barrier: Adam Goodridge did not let his disability prevent him from finishing his Year 12 studies.

Picture: Gary Sissons

“I will be sad to see Adam leave the school – he has taught us all so much,” Mrs Wilson said.

“Most importantly, despite our differences, we all share the same goals and needs and a sense of belonging to a community.

“Frankston High School has provided Adam with a strong sense of belonging to both the school and his peer group who are very supportive and accepting of the wonderful young man that he is.”

FRANKSTON Arts Centre is looking for selfies from those happy to share them for an upcoming brochure. The faces of those contributing won’t be used large – but they will appear – and they could earn their owner a nice prize.

Those keen to assist with a selfie should email thefac@frankston.vic.gov.au with Selfie in the subject line. Please include contact details in the message.

Frankston Arts Centre is a business unit of Frankston City Council.

Building foundation for epilepsy help Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LIVING with epilepsy can be a lonely experience but it does not have to be that way. A new support group hopes to establish itself in the south east to bring together families whose loved ones suffer from the at times debilitating neurological disorder.

The Epilepsy Foundation, established by a group of concerned parents in 1964 to provide support and information to all Victorians affected by epilepsy, is hosting an information session at Patterson Lakes Community House this week about managing epilepsy.

The foundation is aiming to form an epilepsy support group in the south east having successfully hosted such forums for many years in Melbourne and other regions of Victoria.

Seaford resident Sue is a nurse who lives with her daughter Rebekah who has epilepsy. She welcomed the Epilepsy Foundation push to bring more support services to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Sue and Rebekah sometimes travel to Melbourne for group support sessions to meet other families living with epilepsy but Sue said the journey can sometimes be difficult due to “uncertainty and anxiety” surrounding epileptic seizures.

“There are no social resources down this way to talk with other people about the challenges of living with epilepsy,” Sue said.

“Epilepsy Foundation is unable to put us in direct contact with other families for privacy reasons so a local epilepsy support group would be great.”

Sue said her family “had battled” with epilepsy with 35-year-old Rebekah’s condition “changing in nature over the years” after she was initially diagnosed at the age of 12.

Rebekah’s seizures are irregular and unpredictable.

“We’re never at ease… she has gone from being completely unconscious in the past which is scary enough to having complex partial seizures,” Sue said.

“It has affected her life in many ways, not only has it isolated her from her peers, put a halt to her education, but it has stopped her from doing a lot of activities that others would be able to take in their stride.”

Epilepsy Foundation peer support coordinator David Clunn said the volunteer organisation had a range of groups supporting each other around the state, including AWEsome, a support group for adults living with epilepsy.

“For some people it can be problematic attending meetings that are not close to home,” Mr Clunn said.

“Epilepsy can be really isolating and people can lose confidence so a south east group would be a chance for carers and those who have epilepsy to come along for a chat.”

Mr Clunn said Frankston Hospital neurologist and associate professor Ernest Butler will speak at the Patterson Lakes information session “about the diagnosis and management of epilepsy and how it can affect people at any age.”

“It can be helpful to hear about the process after diagnosis,” Mr Clunn said.

Sue said Rebekah “has learned to

Theft charges A 37-year-old Seaford man has been charged with multiple counts of burglary and car theft after allegedly breaking into a Rosebud computer store last Wednesday night.

Police apprehended the parolee after receiving a tip-off about a forced entry through a roller door.

Detective Senior Constable Brendan Fox, of Rosebud CIU, said several laptop computers had been stacked near the door. The Jeep Cherokee the man was driving had been reported stolen from Ravenhall earlier.

He was also charged over a computer store robbery in Mt Waverley.

The man’s parole has been revoked and he has been returned to prison to serve the remainder of his term. He will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 28 January.

seize the moment and to enjoy life in the best way that she can”.

“She has been a wonderful nanny for her six nieces and nephews. She even managed in the midst of all this at times, to work as a volunteer with people with disabilities and this has given her an even great empathy with others who are in need.”

Sue and Rebekah will attend the Patterson Lakes information session to share their journey while coping with epilepsy.

“We want to reach out to people with

similar stories and to let them know that there is hope along the way,” Sue said. n The Epilepsy Foundation will host an epilepsy information session at Patterson Lakes Community Centre, 54-70 Thompson Rd, Patterson Lakes at 6.45-8.30pm on Thursday 30 October.

Light refreshments provided.

Call Juliette at the Epilepsy Foundation on 8809 0672.

The Epilepsy Foundation is partly funded by the Victorian Department of Health’s health condition support grant program.

WORK has started on a $20,000 upgrade to the roof of Seaford Community Centre.

“The roof renewal was needed at the same time as the Seaford Junior Library was facing a funding cut and uncertain future,” MP for Dunkley Bruce Billson said. “It celebrates its 50th anniversary this year as a place where children learn to read, grow their imaginations and be inspired by the many books housed there.

“The 200-seat hall provides a great space for community gatherings and concerts. Once completed, the upgrade will ensure the centre remains a great place for the community to meet, for celebrations and for children to immerse themselves in books.”

The work is due to be completed by December.

Talk about Karingal gives future pointers THE Karingal Local Area Planning Group recently had a boost in youth involvement, with McClelland College students hosting its meeting on Thursday 16 October.

President Phil Lodge and secretary Michael Long welcomed visitors, councillors and Frankston Council staff.

Student representatives Karabo Tlokotsi and Caitlyn Taylor voiced their views about the Karingal area and discussed how their school was contributing to the community. They discussed what the general school population thought about the area, and the positives and negatives of living and going to school there.

This led to a discussion between Caitlyn, Karabo and the audience over a perceived need for public toilets and drinking fountains at public facilities, such as Gretana Crescent Reserve.

Facilities such as the new PARC, Karingal PLACE and Karingal Hub were praised as being easily accessible and enjoyable. A perception that Karingal was unsafe may be “more reputation than real”. This could be overcome by having more community events to break down barriers, for example, staging carnivals, fetes, musical theatre and art events, using facilities such as Ballam Park Homestead and involving the primary and secondary schools in these events, the meeting was told.

McClelland College intends to become more involved in the local area, with the students explaining past and current projects in which it has been involved. These include Fit2Drive, the McClelland College Academy Program and a community placement trip to Fiji.

The council’s sketch plan for Gretana Crescent Reserve was displayed for

consideration and discussion. Frankston Council’s acting manager, open spaces, David Gray, showed a sketch plan for developing the reserve into a viable community asset. He pointed to associated costings and the staging of steps to achieve this. The overall amount required is more than $200,000, with a further $30,000 to remove fencing and court surfaces and sub-surfaces. Concern was expressed over the community’s share of the $50,000 cost.

Mr Lodge asked what responsibility Frankston Council had as regards implementing this plan. Cr James Dooley said most tennis clubs in Frankston were losing members and that club facilities are deteriorating.

It was agreed that the fence around the four westerly courts would be removed but that the uprights would remain in place for the time being. No written request would need to be made for this to proceed.

The north-west ward councillors volunteered to use their discretionary funds to buy a number of fruit and other trees to plant on the site. Trish Gavin offered to arrange this purchase, in conjunction with Cr Glenn Aitken. This will need a written request from KLAP. Sponsorships and partnerships will be sought during the remainder of this year and next year.

The evening was judged a success as McClelland College was able to “bridge a gap” between itself and the community.

The turn-out exceeded expectations and the students excelled in their efforts, Mr Long said.

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au DETECTING on average one melanoma each business day on patients from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula has made Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre one of the busiest clinics in Australia.

But it’s an achievement that leaves Dr Sally Shaw* cold.

“A large number of baby boomers have grown up tanning at the beach or in solariums in their youth and are now presenting with skin cancers,” she said.

“And we are seeing many young people presenting with basal cell cancers on their faces.”

The clinic was last week named overall winner and best personal services winner in the Frankston Excellence in Business Awards. This is the highest honour any business can receive in the Frankston City and Mornington Peninsula region. See ‘Business equals share awards’, Page 16.

Melanoma is the most dangerous of all skin cancers, killing around 1500 Australians each year. It is the fourth most common cancer in men and women. Melanoma is also the most common cancer in young people aged 14–39.

With the skin cancer centre on track to find more than 250 melanomas this year, Dr Shaw is blaming more than one cause.

“Research shows that using solariums before the age of 35 boosts the risk of melanoma by 59 per cent,” she said.

Check up: Dr Sally Shaw treats a patient. Picture: Yanni

“It has been estimated that each year in Australia, 281 melanomas, 43 melanoma-related deaths, and 2572 squamous cell carcinomas are attributable to solarium use - at a cost to the health system of around $3 million.” (This data is on the sunsmart website.)

Solariums’ high-pressure sunlamps emit doses of UVA as much as 12 times that of the sun, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation’s website. Not surprisingly, those who use solariums are 2.5 times more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma, and 1.5 times more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma.

According to the foundation’s research, first exposure to tanning

beds in youth increases melanoma risk by 75 per cent. Dr Shaw admits to being “extremely frustrated” at the Tasmanian government’s decision not to ban solariums by the end of the year.

She hopes this will “not be a precedent for all the other states that have agreed to ban solariums”.

“UVB in a solariums is much higher than UBB rays from the sun,” she said.

“It causes the most common form of basal cancer cell – a small scab on the nose or cheek which we cut out as they could lead to melanoma.”

Dr Shaw said Australia had 10 times the melanoma rate of Europe. “There’s something in our genetic make-up that’s triggered by the sun and which is affected by the depleted ozone layer.”

Melbourne males have a 1:25 risk of contracting melanoma and women 1.30 risk. “There’s an idea that a tan is healthy,” she said. “But in most people what you see are actually burned skin cells.”

The state government announced three years ago that solariums and tanning salons would be banned as on 1 January 2015. Their numbers have dropped 62 per cent in that time. *Dr Shaw is a founding member of the Australasian College of Skin Cancer Medicine. She holds a Diploma in Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery and was instrumental in establishing standards for skin cancer practitioners throughout Australia.

Political fight over ‘new’ train claims Continued from Page 1 Labor candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke called last Wednesday’s X’Trapolis “a political stunt”.

“There are safety concerns about the speed of the X’Trapolis train not being co-ordinated with level crossings, incomplete signalling works and gaps between the platform and carriage at certain stations,” Mr Edbrooke said.

Just one X’Trapolis train per day will run on the Frankston line until the rail network upgrades are finished in 12 months’ time.

Metro Trains advised The Times that the X’Trapolis train will be in service four times per day on the Frankston line. It will depart Frankston for Melbourne at 6.38am and 8.44am on weekdays and leave Melbourne’s Flinders St Station at 5.30am and 7.35am.

The train can travel at speeds of up to 130km/h but will be restricted to a top speed of 90km/h on the Melbourne rail network.

Metro Trains confirmed the maximum speed of the X’Trapolis fleet will not change after the late 2015 rail network upgrades.

Mr Edbrooke said the government had “rushed out a single train service… on the eve of an election”.

The arrival of the much-vaunted X’Trapolis train on the Frankston line captured media attention with press and TV news crews dispatched from Melbourne to cover Mr Mulder’s press conference at Frankston station.

Former Liberal MP Geoff Shaw, now an independent after several disagreements with the Coalition state government, arrived on the Frankston station platform and talked to Mr Mulder after the media conference.

Small cardboard replicas of the X’Trapolis train and leaflets promoting the Bayside Rail Project were distributed by Liberal Party staffers.

The first edition of a Liberal Party-produced 8-page “community newspaper” called The Southern Express was handed out to passersby.

The Liberals intend to distribute the so-called newspaper, which toes the government line on improvements to the Melbourne rail network, at train stations along the Frankston line.

The party’s logo is nowhere to be seen in the “newspaper” which also contains crosswords, details about local events and soup recipes alongside state government propaganda pieces spruiking the Coalition’s public transport pledges in the lead up to the state election.

Public Transport Users Association spokesman Daniel Bowen took to his personal blog after the X’Trapolis launch event in Frankston to note Coalition MPs reckoned “the arrival of the first X’Trapolis train in service on the Frankston line was a miraculous huge leap forward for train travellers — a rocket-powered, laser-guided teleportation device that can get you to your destination in seconds.”

Media focus: Transport Minister Terry Mulder, above, holds court at Frankston Train Station after the arrival of the first X’Trapolis train on the Frankston line and, right, shares a joke with former Liberal MP Geoff Shaw despite the recent animosity between Mr Shaw and Premier Denis Napthine.

Tipper truck drivers spoil cemetery celebration Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au INDUSTRIAL action by Victorian tipper truck drivers threatens to spoil the party for Bunurong Memorial Park following last week’s announcement of a major expansion of the Bangholme cemetery and crematorium, which came with a promise to put the “fun” back into funerals.

The Transport Workers Union last week organised strike action and picket lines at worksites across Melbourne, including Bunurong Memorial Park, in support of better pay for tipper truck owner-operators.

The memorial park, which was established in 1994 and services Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs including Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, is undergoing a massive expansion program, with 8500 grave sites to be added to the current 2100 graves.

The expansion will include the planting of 80,000 native trees and the addition of function rooms, three chapels, a florist, cafe and a children's playground as the memorial park seeks to expand its appeal to include a wide range of social activities, including weddings and conventions.

However, the works require thousands of tonnes of soil to be added to the site on Frankston-Dandenong Rd – and that soil needs to be transported by tipper truck operators who claim they are being underpaid and forced to work in unsafe and unfair conditions.

On Thursday, Health Minister David Davis joined a ceremony marking the start of the expansion works at Bunurong, while outside, TWU-aligned tipper truck operators picketed the worksite.

TWU organiser Luke McCrone said tipper truck owner-drivers were being driven to the wall by inadequate pay which was making their jobs unviable and forcing them to work in unsafe conditions.

The drivers own their trucks and are paid by plant hire companies on a per-load basis. But that amount is not enough to cover maintenance and

repayments on their trucks. The union has been lobbying for the past four months for a 10 per cent pay rise on behalf of the drivers but the plant hire companies are yet to agree, despite most acknowledging the need for a review of pay conditions.

Mr McCrone said the pay demands by tipper truck drivers were far from excessive and that underpaying owner drivers threatened to create unsafe conditions on worksites and public roads.

“They are only asking for what is fair because at the moment, they can’t make ends meet,” Mr McCrone said. “What that means is that drivers may be forced to forgo vital maintenance of their vehicles or put off replacing tyres because they simply can’t afford it, and that’s clearly not a situation anyone wants to see.

“Drivers are forced to rush between jobs to get that extra load, which means taking shortcuts and that makes our roads more dangerous for everyone. It’s not a situation these owner drivers want to be in, nor one they should be forced into to simply put food on the table.”

Bunurong was among about 40 worksites targeted by the TWU last week, with rolling industrial action tipped to continue throughout this week.

Back inside the cemetery, Mr Davis told officials and guests the investment by Bunurong’s operator, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, would transform the memorial park into the largest in Melbourne's south-east and meet the needs of the community for the next 70 years.

“The 101-hectare Bunurong Memorial Park currently has about 2100 graves, 260 mausoleum crypts and 1370 cremation memorial spots available but this will expand,” Mr Davis said. “Given that our population continues to increase, it is important that we have the right services and facilities in place, now and in the future.”

However, Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust CEO Jonathan Tribe said the project was far more than just an expansion, outlining a strategy to reposition the cemetery as a major social hub that would be visited by thousands of people

a day, including wedding parties, sporting groups and “networking breakfast” attendees.

“Our vision for Bunurong is to transform a traditional cemetery into a ‘new age’ memorial park visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year,” Mr Tribe said.

“We want to demystify cemeteries and get people to regard them as great community assets – green, relaxing places where you can socialise with family and friends. That’s how people in the Victorian era regarded cemeteries.

Mr Tribe said master plan included landscaping and design work that would promote a “distinctive Australian theme”, with the regenerated indigenous natural environment to provide habitat for local fauna. The master plan retains the

crematorium, mausoleum and Greek Orthodox Church, while existing “interments” will not to be impacted by the development.

The first of five expansion stages, which is schedules to be completed by 2016, will see the construction of “multi-faith meditation rooms” as well as landscaping works.

Mr Tribe said SMCT research had shown that in the 1860s, about 5000 people would visit the Melbourne General Cemetery on a summer Sunday, with visitors “picnicking in the gardens and promenade along the wide pathways”.

“In the twentieth century, people developed a morbid attitude towards cemeteries,” Mr Tribe said. “Bunurong Memorial Park is a community space that will help change that perception.”

Tale of two ports in debate Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au BOTH major political parties agree a second major Victorian container port will definitely be built and that any port will have a significant environmental impact on its surrounds.

But that was the closest Ports Minister David Hodgett and his shadow counterpart, the ALP’s Natalie Hutchins, came to agreement at an at times charged debate in Hastings this month.

Mr Hodgett and Ms Hutchins squared off at the Hastings Community Hub in front of an audience of about 150 people, including politicians, residents, community groups and businesspeople.

The Coalition state government is committed to Hastings as the location of Victoria’s second major port. Labor is pushing for a port at Bay West, near Geelong.

The state government believes Hastings is a “natural deepwater port” so less dredging would be needed than at Bay West. Labor argues a lack of road and rail infrastructure in Western Port makes an expanded Port of Hastings not viable.

Ms Hutchins said Labor would establish an independent body, Infrastructure Victoria, if it wins government next month to assess major infrastructure projects.

Infrastructure Victoria would independently advise on the best location for a second container port.

She said a second container port “is not likely to be required for another 25 years” so it was important to take more time to ensure the correct decision is

Ports Minister David Hodgett

Shadow ports spokeswoman Natalie Hutchins

made to consider “environmental sensitivities”, especially since a container port at Hastings in Western Port, which is within a listed Ramsar site, could put “about 5000 full-time [ecotourism] jobs”, including those at Phillip Island, at risk.

“An independent body needs to take a step back, have the politics taken out of it, have the environmental reports put on the table, have all of the assessment public, not hidden in… secret government reports.”

Mr Hodgett accused Labor of “playing politics” with the port expansion decision and said former Labor ports minister Tim Pallas had been “a champion” for Hastings as the state’s second container port.

“Tim Pallas gave a ringing endorsement of Hastings as the best option and your current position is only going

to prolong the inevitable and you will then build a port here after you’ve gone through some sort of process for 12 to 18 months with Infrastructure Victoria,” Mr Hodgett said.

Mr Hodgett said “about 100” employees and contractors at the Hastings office of the Port of Hastings Development Authority would lose their jobs if Labor did not proceed with the Hastings port expansion and Labor “would be turning your backs on the thousands of jobs that would be created in the south east by the port despite knowing it is the best option.”

Ms Hutchins said Labor would “look at other opportunities for the region” if it wins government.

“I think there are some real opportunities for this region in relation to regional cruising which is a successful business growing at 20 per cent in other states…

where you prioritise the domestic market of cruise ships and bring them into regions such as this which have fantastic ecotourism opportunities,” she said.

Mr Hodgett raised the spectre of a port at Hastings being used to import and export bitumen or coal if a container port failed to eventuate.

“What else will they [Labor] look at to import and export through Hastings?

Will it be bitumen, bulk chemicals, coal or urea?” he asked.

Boral Asphalt dropped plans in 2011 to build a bitumen plant in Crib Point amid a community backlash and opposition from the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Then Labor planning minister Justin Madden had granted Boral a permit to build the plant.

Perhaps the most fiery exchange between Mr Hodgett and Ms Hutchins came when the shadow ports spokeswoman claimed the ports minister, the Premier and trucking magnate Lindsay Fox “as a property developer” had visited a major shipping company to discuss using Hastings as a container port.

“I have never gone to see a shipping company with the Premier... that’s factually incorrect,” Mr Hodgett said. n The Hastings debate on Monday 13 October was hosted by the Western Port Chamber of Commerce and Industry and moderated by former Hastings police Inspector Gordon Charteris.

Mr Hodgett and Ms Hutchins also debated the location of a second container port at a community event in Geelong on Monday 6 October.

Eat with volunteers IF you love cooking - and the companionship of a delicious shared meal - then a new Brotherhood of St Laurence social eating service may appeal.

The Brotherhood is calling for volunteers to help with its Dine IN program.

Designed to help build older people’s friendships and sense of community around the sharing of food, Dine IN volunteers from Rosebud and Mornington will host a roast dinner or a small Sunday lunch in their own home for three to six people.

Another volunteer will help prepare the food and collect the groceries, and then converse with guests.

The Brotherhood's Michael Hillier said the charity would pay for all ingredients, as well as gas and electricity costs. ''Dine IN is a great way to connect and help make a difference in isolated seniors' lives," he said. "We're trialling it in Rosebud and Mornington where older people participating will be carefully selected.

"They must be independent with their mobility and care needs.

Volunteers will receive training and support."

The Brotherhood is holding an information day 10am-noon, Thursday 6 November, at the Mornington Community Information Centre, and 10am-noon, Friday 7 November, at Rosebud library.

Twins, triplets make classes a family affair Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TEACHERS may have been forgiven for thinking they were seeing double – and even triple – at Frankston High School this year.

The year 12 cohort had five sets of twins and one set of triplets.

Senior campus principal Helen Wilson admits she has never had so many at the one time. “They all relate well with one another and are very close with their siblings,” she said.

Only two of the twins and two of the triplets are identical and they all have different interests.

While the twins and triplets are usually in different classes, Mrs Wilson said: “if they were in the same class they would probably sit together.

“This is a unique situation as far as enrolments are concerned, but it has been lovely.”

The twins and triplets are: Sarah and Rebecca Wallace: Both studied year 12 outdoor education in

year 11 and received the same study score – 49. Sarah wants to pursue a career as an outdoor education and PE teacher and Rebecca wants to study a bachelor of global studies combined with a bachelor of science.

Brittany and Daniel Van Zeil: School captain Brittany has been selected in the Generations in Jazz Academy, to perform with James Morrison. She hopes to study science or biomedicine at Melbourne University and volunteer at Camp America. Daniel’s team came first in the state in the Chemistry Titration competition. He hopes to continue his studies in chemistry.

Mahalay and Max Gore: Mahalay would like to study psychology with honours. Max would like to study a bachelor of science degree.

Sebastian and Ben Farchione: Sebastian performed at the Victorian State Schools Spectacular. He has also been selected in the Generations in Jazz Academy, to perform with James Morrison. He hopes to study

astronomy and astrophysics after music. Ben hopes to study animation at Swinburne University and, eventually, direct films. He is the senior concert band captain.

Anna and Bridget Petry: Bridget would like a career in fashion and design after studying at RMIT. She won the VET Fashion and Design Award. Anna would also like to attend RMIT and study a bachelor of design fashion (honours). Anna won the VET Applied Fashion Design Technology Award.

Triplets are Ethan, Niall and Tylan Mehmed: Ethan hopes to study a business course at university and continue acting. Niall hopes to complete a degree in engineering (chemical or aerospace). Tylan wants to work in the elite sports industry in relation to business, umpire at the AFL level and, perhaps, join the police force when he is 21.

The year’s over for the year 12s – they start their exams on Wednesday with English.

Business equals share awards IT was a family affair at the Frankston and Mornington Excellence in Business Awards at the Frankston Arts Centre last week.

Dr Sally Shaw and husband Michael Savage both won awards for their respective businesses.

Dr Shaw - owner of Peninsula Skin Cancer Centres in Mornington and Frankston - won the award for personal services and was also named the overall winner of the business finalists.

Husband Michael accepted the Hall of Fame award for his Enchanted Adventure Garden at Arthurs Seat, which had won the Tourism business award three years running.

Spoils of victory: Entrepreneur Michael Savage and Dr Sally Shaw.

“It was the first time we had entered the Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre and we were pretty confident we could win our category, but I’m so excited to win the overall business prize,” Dr Shaw said as she juggled her trophies and certificates. “Michael hasn’t won that one.”

Michael was very supportive of his wife’s triumph: “Sally has worked very hard over the past 10 years to build up her skin cancer practice and deserves to win the overall prize tonight.

“Now the skin cancer clinic will have to work towards joining the Enchanted Adventure Garden in the Hall of Fame.”

Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre was rewarded for its high rate of skin cancer detection: one melanoma a day, and also for its community awareness programs for skin cancer detection and sun protection.

Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre is the major sponsor of Frankston City Council’s Senior’s Festival this month.

Choir tunes into a musical future Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE School of Hard Knocks Frankston Chapter choir had its first “come and try” day last Wednesday, with around 55 prospective choir members, volunteers and agency workers attending the launch at the Uniting Church in High St. “It was the first day of engaging with the choir and it was very exciting,” patron and choirmaster Jonathan Welch said.

It will be running every Wednesday until mid-December.

“We still have a few hurdles to overcome but the important thing for us is that we are able to rely on the support of community groups.

It’s about the community getting together to back this project and helping make it successful.”

The choir is being modelled on the original, successful choir featuring the disadvantaged and homeless, aiming to give them a purpose and focus in life – rather than just a drab, humdrum existence on the streets.

The concept was launched at a Rotary Club of Frankston Long Island fundraiser at the Frankston International Motel last month attended by Dr Welch and community supporters.

The group is hoping to attract prospective choir members as well as agency workers and anyone who may be interested in volunteering to help with lunches and support members.

Youth training organisation Steps catered for, and cooked, lunch for

those attending Wednesday’s Choir launch. Trainer and recruiter Bruce Ranken, his team of trainee cooks and a qualified chief “did a sensational job”, according to those attending.

Mr Ranken said the five students were studying Certificate III in commercial cookery and working with job service agencies and the unemployed. Many came from the training organisation’s Frankston office.

“They had a ball,” he said.

“They enjoyed cooking for the choir and learning new skills and menu planning. They got first-hand experience in plating meals.

“Some of the trainees (aged 1955) had never spoken to a customer before; some have never worked at all.”

Dr Welch said those auditioning for the choir were “having fun, meeting each other and doing warm-up singing exercises”. Many are clients of a Frankston soup kitchen.

“This is a big, collaborative model; it requires the help of lots of people and various sectors, so we hope the local business sector and local schools get on board so the choir can have a very long life.”

Choir organisers say the costs to the community of backing the choirs are recouped in the long run as members benefit from improved health, confidence and self-esteem. They become less of a burden on society and can become positive contributors.

“When people become disengaged they face loneliness and isolation

issues. Through the choirs they re-establish positive links with the community, with potential employers, and so reconnect and rejuvenate their lives. There are definite cost-savings in the longer term.”

Past District Governor Rotary International Janet McCahon described the event as “uplifting for so many people in Frankston who are on the fringe of society. There are lots of prospective members here.”

Community Support Frankston manager Steve Phillips said “today is about receiving expressions of interest; to see who wants to be in the choir – as a singer, a singing ‘buddy’ or as an agency helping the disadvantaged.

Mystery buyers save sanctuary Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au DREAMS do come true. Just ask animal carer Maryrose Kersting.

Her Black and White Swan sanctuary in Balnarring was saved from probable development on Saturday when two “white knights” stepped in and bought it at auction and then handed it back to her “until I die”.

The threat of eviction from the four hectare property – and the fate of the 250 animals she cares for – had been traumatic for the 70-year-old pensioner who has run the sanctuary as a labour of love for the past 20 years. It is her life.

The animals – wallabies, pademelons, brush-tailed bettongs, sugar gliders, ringtail and brushtail possums, ducks, geese, emus, lorikeets, cockatoos and, of course, black and white swans – will now be spared the trauma of being rounded up, corralled and shipped off to who knows where.

The identities of the two buyers remained a mystery yesterday, although one is believed to be a doctor and the other a developer.

Agents Satchwells Real Estate would not reveal any details other than to disclose that the opening vendor bid was for $1 million. The property was then passed in and negotiations continued privately with the eventual buyers.

The anticipated price was tipped to be around $1.2 million.

“Two men got together and bought it for me,” a jubilant Mrs Kersting said yesterday.

“I don’t know who they are.

“They said they would come and see me when they work out all the details, but that I can stay here until I die.”

Mrs Kersting said the “price is a secret, but if they want to do things that way then that’s fair”.

About 80 people attended the Stumpy Gully Rd auction, which had been heavily publicised.

Prospective bidders may have been deterred by the groundswell of community galvanised through the media.

Mrs Kersting had received offers of financial support, free floats for the animals’ transport and free labour in the sorry event of a sale.

It is believed nearby landowners even offered to “hive off” portions of their land to provide new homes for the animals if Mrs Kersting was forced off.

A large sign on a ute at the gate proclaimed: ‘Save our sanctuary’.

“Yes, it was very busy here with Stumpy Gully Rd loaded with cars,” Mrs Kersting said. “I am so relieved and so are my animals.

“I would like to thank all the lovely people for their support. It was amazing.”

One of her helpers, Nigel Williamson, of Nigel’s Animal Rescue, said: “We are ecstatic. To have had to find a new home for her and the animals would have been mission impossible. I can’t believe what just transpired.”

Mr Williamson said the two buyers had contacted his group beforehand to alert them to their intentions. While “not at liberty to reveal their names” he said they “are now very heavily sought after by the media”.

Open garden’s book signing bonus CHELSEA Flower Show winner Phillip Johnson will be signing copies of his book Connected: The Sustainable Landscapes of Phillip Johnson, at Seaton Farm’s open days this weekend.

The landscape gardener’s team made history at last year’s show when their design for the Trailfinders Australian Garden, presented by Flemings, was awarded the Best in Show medal - a feat not previously achieved by an Australian team.

Seaton Farm – at 22 Turners Rd, Balnarring, is opening its gates for Open Gardens Australia 10am-4.30pm, Saturday and Sunday.

Owned by Elwyn and Andrew Duncan since 1996, the 20-hectare property has been developed in two stages. It has two hectares of natural bush and almost a hectare of buildings. There’s a garden and a new planting of 200 pinot vines.

“When we bought the farm, the 100-year-old cottage was derelict but, after renovation, it provides cosy accommodation,” Mrs Duncan said.

“We commissioned architect Ross Henry to build us a single-storey farmhouse to complement the old cottage and existing sheds, and were delighted with the result.”

While the house was under construction, the couple approached Mr Johnson to build a frog pond. Then, when the house was finished, Preston Williams landscaped to the north of the house as well as the vegetable garden. Raised planter boxes on the paved patio have proven to be and ideal place for the visually stunning xanthorrhoeas.

At the time of purchase there was no garden, apart from some venerable old trees that have provided a majestic backdrop as the garden was developed. “The one old tree that we absolutely treasure is the enormous elm, which is now the centrepiece of our top garden and a topic of conversation for all who visit,” Mrs Duncan said.

Early on, the couple had two guiding principles: to minimise the effects of the wind without losing the more distant vistas, and to create a

habitat for wildlife. “The elaeagnus hedge has proved an excellent foil for the wind around the cottage, and, elsewhere, we have tried to plant in groups, or copses, with open areas between,” she said.

“As many plants have limited flowering seasons, we have also tried to use plants with variations of foliage, hoping this will ensure year-round interest in the garden.

“In stage one of the garden development we

used a variety of plants, both native and other, in relaxed garden beds around the cottage, and then around the perimeter of the lawn.”

The second major stage of garden development began around the new house. “We decided to use only native plants, and to try and restrict ourselves to those varieties that had already proven hardy in our conditions,” Mrs Duncan said.

“I love grevilleas, as do the birds, but the only

ones that seem to thrive here are the expensive grafted ones. I am now trying to placate the honeyeaters with eremophilas. A number of the eucalypts have done well, correas seem to be very reliable, and also calothamnus. But the real find for this garden has been the different varieties of adenanthos.”

Proceeds from the garden opening will go to Peninsula Riding Develops Abilities.

The Award Committee was most impressed by the quality of the entries, which included a range of fictional and non-fictional pieces addressing women’s health issues such as abortion, eggdonors, fertility, Indigenous Women’s Health and prescription drug misuse.

RANZCOG President, Professor Michael Permezel, presented Kate with the award in person at Toorak College on Tuesday, 9 September. Professor Permezel had high praise for Kate’s essay addressing the immensely important issue of ‘Obstetric Fistula’. “It remains a common cause of long term distress for women who give birth in countries with essentially no access to obstetric care. Although most common now in sub-Saharan Africa, it also occurs in some of the more remote areas of our near neighbours including Papua New Guinea.”

Kate said researching and writing her winning essay has inspired her to try and make a difference to this serious women’s health problem. “I would really like to pursue this issue further by organising some sort of awareness and fundraising campaign within my school.”

At the presentation, Professor Permezel also announced that from 2015

the prize will be named the Liam and Frankie Davison Award in memory of “an enormously popular and devoted couple who were lost in the MH17 air disaster over the Ukraine.”

Liam Davison was a valued member of staff at RANZCOG, responsible for

e-Learning, and Frankie a teacher at Toorak College for many years.

The RANZCOG Board, with the support of Liam and Frankie’s children, Milly and Sam, have decided to rename the award in recognition of Liam and Frankie’s shared passion for nurturing

Passion set in stone STONE Outdoors has been manufacturing concrete pavers and architectural products in Carrum Downs for more than two decades.

While historically they have sold through designers, trades and a network of retail stores they have found that more homeowners are now seeking them out directly.

“Customers often express surprise and finding such a stylish showroom in the middle of an industrial area! There are also a lot more people who are aware of the benefits of buying local – the service, the benefit to the local economy and the environmental benefits” said Craig Bourne of STONE Outdoors.

“We love concrete “ Craig says of the team at STONE. “Many architects and designers feel the same way – they see concrete as a creative medium”.

STONE prides themselves on being large enough to handle large commercial but still small and flexible enough to create custom pieces and look after homeowners with small residential projects.

“We have a huge range that includes ‘problem solving’ pieces such as the integrated skimmer covers. It is such a shame when you see a beautiful swimming pool – and then see one of those ugly plastic skimmer covers along the edge! We make an integrated skimmer

box lid - it might seem like a little detail but it makes a big difference”.

STONE staff clearly cares about getting the details right – and they are happy to consult regarding projects of any size.

“We want to support people who are creating beautiful spaces – we help them get the details right because we believe details make the design.”

The STONE team were excited to report on their recent achievements – a Sustainability Victoria award and grant under the ‘Smarter resources, Smarter Business’ program.

“We won the award and grant for an innovative project that allows us to reuse material that used to go to waste. This project has allowed us to reduce our carbon footprint and has made our production more efficient and our product a more sustainable choice”.

With an extensive range of over 2000 products, professional and experienced service, STONE Outdoors will inspire the creation of beautiful spaces.

STONE Outdoors is at 10 Daniel Drive, Carrum Downs.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Excitement as Melbourne Cup coming up Compiled by Melissa Hodge MR.W.J.Air, Specialist Optician Collins Street, will be visiting Mornington during November, and may be consulted at “Stella Maris”. Appointments made. *** THE “Herald” last week says Zephuron, the National winner, looks the picture of health. The chestnut has been allotted 11st 51b in the Cup steeplechase, and if present arrangements are adhered to he will meet his engagement in that event.

He is likely to be ridden by A Hawkins.

Zephuron is such a dashing jumper that it is always worth the money to see him striding over big fences. *** THIS month’s meeting of the Somerville Fruit Growers Association will be held on Monday next, when the following business will be transacted: Report of Conference by Mr F. N. Roper, fixing date of next show, and information re fruit crops. *** THE Hurdle Race at Moonee Valley, on Saturday last, was won by the top weight, Bill Brandon, by a long neck.

The winner carried 10st 10lb, and started favorite at 6 to 4 against. The Moonee Valley Cup of 750 sovereigns was won in record time by Gladys, starting at 10 to 1 against. *** ON Tuesday next the Melbourne Cup will be run, for which the judge’s placing may be somewhat as follows: St Carwyne or Uncle Sam 1, Ulva’s

Isle 2, Sylvanmore 3. *** THE hot weather experienced during this week has had the effect of causing snakes to become numerous, and caution will require to be exercised to avoid treading on the possibility of snakes.

Rev. Mr Jackson despatched two already this week, in close proximity to his residence. *** MESSRS Alex. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at. Tanti, on Monday next, when there will be a good yarding of cattle and sheep. *** A CONCERT was held in the Langwarrin Hall on Wednesday last in aid of the shelter shed for the State school.

The principal part of the programme was contributed by members of St. Paul Club, Frankston.

Cr Lloyd occupied the chair.

The following ladies and gentlemen took part; Mrs Dodd, Mrs Ellis, Misses Bowell, Williams, D Stephenson, Messrs C. E, Dodd, J. Y Twyford.

The programme was wound up by two farces, entitled “Love, the winner” and “The kiss in the dark” which were well received and heartily applauded.

The fund will benefit to the extent of £2 5s. *** THERE is a considerable difference between a musical sound and a noise.

A noise is an irregular first fast and then slow kind of thing.

Most folk are so built that they

would very much rather have the regular movement – the measured sound.

They prefer music to a noise.

In the Methodist Church, Frankston, the singing of the choir and congregation is usually good, and a distinct help to the services, but the congregation may look for an improvement in the musical part of the services, for a new organ has been installed.

The instrument is a good one, and in the capable hands of Miss Sherlock will be heard to advantage.

This young lady was in excellent voice Sunday night last, when she delighted the congregation with the solo, “Nearer my God to Thee.”

On Sunday evening next, the Rev. R. Jackson will conduct the service, which will be of a musical character, *** THE adjourned meeting of the Frankston Athletics Club was held in the Mechanics Hall, Frankston on Friday evening last.

Present Captain Sherlock (president, in the chair), Dr Maxwell, Mess’s May, Bates, Richardson, Dalman, McComb, Walker, Williams, Young, Wilcox, Chamberlin and Benson.

Apologies were received for nonattendance from Dr Plowman, Messrs Picking, Hartland, Jolly, Oates Mosley, Ritchie, and Clements.

The resignation of Mr Utber from the committee was accepted with regret, on the motion of Mr Bates, seconded by Mr Richardson. It was unanimously resolved that the sports meeting be held as usual on New Year’s Day, on the motion of Mr Rich-

Keep fishing, not trolling

By Paul "Tracker" Pingiaro THE sensitive new age fisho.

Anglers have become very conscious of social media, this is due to both a thirst for information and a driven desire to protect their right to fish.

In a world where size matters and numbers are gold, information is key.

Fishing reports, photos and shared information see anglers trawl the web in search of the upper hand for vital pieces of the puzzle.

The fishing community is aware of the groups that want sustainable recreational fishing outlawed. Anglers posting photos of fish covered in blood or catches of large legal bags are often also berated by their peers as many in the fishing community see such media as forming fuel for the fringe green groups.

Recreational fishing is a multibillion dollar user pays industry.

While it's formally policed, informally the fishing community is its toughest critic.

Put simply, those in the fishing community understand their passion is a finite resource requiring proper management.

That being said, people should remember that we are a society that bases legal principals on innocence until proven guilty.

Accusing people of illegal acts can be defamatory and the fishing community needs to stand as one and not behave like trolls or keyboard warriors.

The right to cast a line has become the Mornington Peninsula's favorite recreational past-

ardson, seconded by Mr Bates.

Captain Sherlock moved and Mr Dalman seconded, that Mr W. W. Young be appointed secretary to the club, in the place of Mr Benson, who had resigned owing to pressure of business, and that Mr Mark Williams’ offer to be assistant-secretary, accepted with thanks carried.

On the motion of Mr Williams, seconded by Mr Richardson, it was decided that any profits arising out of the meeting should be donated to the local Patriotic Fund. *** CR Murphy, selected Labor Candidate for Mornington, addressed a public meeting in the Frankston Hall on Tuesday, October 27th, Mr Millard in the chair.

The candidate, after some reference to the war and drought and their effect on the people’s minds, is causing considerable apathy in the coming State elections, proceeded to discuss and criticise the failure of the present Victorian Government to meet the necessity of the people in connection with closer settlement.

The Government has made a miserable failure of their efforts to settle people on the land and the Closer Settlement Board Administration was, according to the report of the subcommittee appointed by Mr Watt to inquire into the settlers’ grievances, in a hopelessly involved and chaotic condition, and stood condemned by every person in authority, even the chairman of the Board himself, who stated that an apple cart would not be run on such

lines as the Closer Settlement Board was muddling along on.

This condition of affairs in the most important department in the Public Service was certainly alarming, and when we consider the number of settlers who had failed to make a living on their holdings and had gone out of existence as factors in wealth production, it can easily be seen the amount of damage done to the State, financially and economically, as well as the severe injury done these settlers who were numbered by the hundred; practical and experienced farmers for the most part, who had been obliged to abandon their allotments after one, two or three years of struggling.

At the present time the area unoccupied on estates purchased by the Board was 50,250 acres and valued at £431,000, most of which represented abandoned allotments.

The arrears of settlers up to date to the Board amounted to £150,263. *** A MEETING was held in the Tyabb hall on Monday evening last in connection with the Tyabb annual picnic.

Cr Alden occupied the chair.

It was decided that a grand concert be held to raise funds for prizes, date of which is Friday, December 4th.

Full particulars will be advertised later.

The picnic will be held in the Tyabb Park on Wednesday, January 6th, 1915.

time. From September until May more than 10,000 participants, on average, will drown a bait each week.

So, keep fishing, keep within the limits, keep safe and keep it civil.

From the bays – Port Phillip and Western Port - at the moment it's snapper, snapper, snapper. The red fever has taken hold and don't expect it to let up until late December.

So many anglers are missing the "mark" as not every fish lives in 19-21 metres of water. In fact, the really good bags have come in from 8-18.5 metres.

In Port Phillip the snapper are following a gradient, 19m in Mt Martha, 18.5m Mornington, 18m Frankston, 16m Seaford, 10-12m Rickets Point and then 6-10m at Williamstown. It's a typical snapper season, the first for a while.

In Western Port it's another typical classic season with good numbers of fish where they

should be, including Eagle Rock, Lysaghts and Rhyll.

The water temperature is heating up and so is the bite.

The snapper are going well both on the change of tide and run, it's just a matter of putting the right bait in the right place at the right time.

While the red fever infects most anglers this time of year, don't forget squid, whiting, gummy shark and flathead are all on the bite as well and are equally responsive to the rise in water temperature.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Insolent, arrogant, incompetent? Awesome!

By Stuart McCullough PERHAPS something was lost in translation. Or maybe Russian journalists are simply accustomed to telling people what they really think of them so long as said people are (a) not Vladimir Putin and (b) located somewhere on the other side of the earth.

There’s no doubt about it – our Prime Minister has been comprehensively slagged off. In Cyrillic script, no less.

Mr. Abbott was accused by Russian newspaper Pravda of ‘insolence, arrogance and incompetence’. It’s heady stuff. Some nations might go completely berserk in response to so energetic an attempt to disparage their leader. Not Australia. Even the most cursory glance at online comments showed many people were either falling over themselves to agree or were concerned that Pravda didn’t go quite far enough. It’s as if people assumed that news of the planned seven dollar Medicare co-payment had finally reached the Kremlin and that this was the inevitable denouncement. If we didn’t previously confuse Russia, our response to their transcontinental sledging has guaranteed their on-going befuddlement.

We’re strange in that respect. The right to give our elected officials absolute hell is dear to us. Indeed, lampooning politicians is something of a national sport – it would be unpatriotic not to. We have the absolute freedom to needle anyone in public office. We’re lucky in that regard. In Russia, however, that kind of carry on can earn you a permanent holiday in

a Siberian Gulag or the ultimate short straw of being Vladimir Putin’s horse.

(It’s a little known fact that the Russian oligarch’s favourite quadruped is a former dissident journalist dressed as a horse. Google the footage. That’s why the horse has a mullet.) Pity the folks in the Russian newspaper industry – they probably think they’ve struck a chord. How wrong they are.

Frankston Times 27 October 2014

Fact is, our freedom to criticize the living bejesus out of anyone we like is lost on the folks at Pravda. Maybe this experience will teach them something about us.

However, the lessons arising from this fiasco are not confined to the Northern hemisphere. To anyone who heard Pravda’s slurs and thought about grabbing the nearest virtual pitchfork

and joining in, dig a little deeper. Not content with merely giving Mr. Abbott a whack, Pravda went further. Much further. In fact, the same editorial went on to accuse all of us of having a ‘colonial chip’ on our collective shoulder.

Fair enough, I suppose. It also referred to NATO as a terrorist organization. So far, so weird. Even if that outlandish claim garnered only a general shrug of the shoulders, it was then that Pravda really went for broke. According to Russia’s leading daily newspaper and premier greyhound racing form guide, we like to ‘crawl up the anatomy’ of our American friends. That is, if we aren’t already too busy sucking up to our colonial masters in England. That, dear Pravda, is a bridge too far. In fact, the words of a former PM spring to mind: fair suck of the sauce bottle.

Now it’s clear to me. They’re not just having a crack at our Prime Minister.

They’re having a red hot go at all of us. Suddenly a shirt front doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Sure, there’s an awkward touch of, ‘You. Me. Carpark.

Now’ about it. But sometimes you’ve got to make a point. So while Tony Abbott is sizing up his Russian counterpart, I’d like to say a few things to Pravda.

First of all, no one should attack our elected officials except us. It’s one thing for those of us who live here to tip a bucket on our Prime Minister, but it’s an egregious violation of our sovereign right to sink the slipper when foreign newspapers start to get in on the act. In fact, it’s a blatant attempt to cut our national lunch and I, for one,

won’t stand for it. If I want to refer to Mr. Abbott as a coconut husk with a pair of ears tied on, it’s my right as an Australian to do so. Pravda, on the other hand, should back off.

It’s also worth remembering how this thing got started. In an interview with ABC, the Prime Minister dared suggest that Russia should co-operate with the MH17 investigation. There are plenty of times when our officials cause us to be embarrassed. It’s part of the job description. But not this time.

This time he was, as it happens, speaking for all of us.

We have another great tradition.

Whenever someone calls us names, we adopt those insults and wear them as badges of honour. We should proudly claim Pravda’s slings and arrows as our own. So yes, we’re insolent. Yes, we’re arrogant. And YES, we’re incompetent (although you try assembling a flat-pack bookcase with nothing but pictures for instructions and an ‘Allan key’ as see how you get on).

Maybe I’m upset over nothing. After all, it’s Pravda. I can always cancel my subscription. If we’d been attacked by the Australian Women’s Weekly or even Best Bets, that would be a worry.

But Pravda? I don’t think so. According to the Internet, which is always right about these things, Pravda is the mouthpiece of Vladimir Putin. I, for one, am relieved. Now that his mouthpiece has been located, it can’t be too long before they find his shirt. Here’s hoping. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Mounties’ bowlers need to shine PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MT ELIZA’s bowlers will be hoping to be at the peak of their powers when they take to the field against Sorrento this Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket.

After winning the toss and batting at David McFarlin Reserve on Saturday, the Mounties batted first and racked up 9/228 in their 80 overs.

Ben Tracy made it two half centuries on the trot for the visitors with 70 runs while Luke Marshall batted higher up the order and contributed 40.

Tristan Faithfull scored 30 before he became Nick Davern’s one and only victim and again, Jason Mathers was left with his wicket intact, having scored 44.

AJ King was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers, taking his second six-wicket haul in as many weeks.

Whilst it wasn’t as good as his 6/28 against Rye in the last game, 6/53 from 25 overs was still a magnificent performance.

Likewise at Lloyd Park, Mornington’s bowlers will need to produce something pretty special to restrict home team Langwarrin.

However, despite making just 9/158 from its 80 overs, the Doggies are still in the box seat to win this match.

Last season on two separate occasions, Mornington ripped through Langwarrin’s batting line-up.

However, on Saturday, it was the Kangas’ bowlers who were in control.

The spin twins of Dwayne Doig (2/55) and Jake D’Artri (1/35)

Blues in box seat against Carrum DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS is in the box seat to win its first game of the season in District cricket.

Up against Carrum at Roy Dore Reserve, the Blues won the toss and skipper Timmy Birch had little hesitation in batting first.

He needed at least one of his openers to score runs and Daniel Esler obliged, scoring 47, while Aaron Wilson played a very important role at three, making 31.

Luke Hewitt and Birch have been the backbone of this side for a couple of seasons and they proved to be shining lights again.

Hewitt scored 48 and Birch was still there at the end of the innings with an unbeaten 78, having hit 12 fours and a six.

Brent McGill played a handy cameo role at the end of the innings, smashing a quick fire 31, which included two fours and two sixes.

Liam Dobson was the pick of the Lions’ bowlers with 5/96 from 28 overs. Jackson Fry bowled just eight overs.

Baden Powell is up against it in its match against Flinders.

Winning the toss and batting first on their home deck, the Braves were bowled out for just 128.

In a wonderful display of bowling, Matthew Burns bowled 26 overs, bowled nine maidens and finished with the extraordinary figures of 9/45.

The only batsman Burns was unable to get out was Julian Pharaoh, who top scored for the Braves with 45.

Max Royal upset Burns’ perfect day by claiming the wicket of Pharaoh, getting him caught behind.

In reply, Tim Clarke is already back in the sheds for the Sharks after being run out. Flinders will resume on 1/8.

Red Hill’s bowlers have plenty of work to do if they are to get the points against Delacombe Park.

However, despite an unbeaten 106 from skipper Simon Dart, 192 doesn’t look enough against the Devils at the small Delacombe ground.

Andrew Brown was the next highest scorer for the Hillmen, who

bowled 50 overs between them and went for just 90 runs. Adrian Mack was also dominant, bowling 13 overs and finishing with 0/12.

Brad McDonald was the best of the Mornington batsmen with 55, while Ben Clements made 32.

Long Island is just 15 runs shy of winning its match against Moorooduc.

The Ducs batted first on Saturday but were overwhelmed by the Islanders’ bowling attack.

Bobby Wilson was the only batsman to get going for Moorooduc, scoring 36.

Simon Dignan (2/10), Mike Reynolds (2/18), Scott Phillips (2/28) and Andrew Tweddle (2/36) were all on song for the Islanders.

In reply, the home side was 4/89 at

stumps, Peter Connell the top scorer with 27.

Ross Cordeux and Bobby Wilson had each claimed two wickets for the Ducs.

Crib Point has set Pines 204 for victory in their match at Crib Point Reserve.

Brad Davidson top scored for the Magpies with 70 while Jack Johnson finished unbeaten on 35 and Henry Dolphins scored 30 at the top of the order.

Piners’ coach Ricky Ramsdale was the best of the bowlers with 5/60, while Sam Noden claimed 3/47 in his first senior game for the season.

Peninsula Old Boys are in a commanding position in their match against Baxter after scoring 9/228.

New skipper Matt Hyden was again

dominant for the Old Boys with 96, while Wade Pelzer scored 29.

In the final game, Rye looks set to win its first match of the season against Heatherhill.

The Demons batted first at Bruce Park on Saturday and scored an impressive 262.

Andrew Hitchener top scored for the Demons with 54, James Crowe opened with 33 and Tommy Baron scored 32 batting at eight.

Brad Maxwell was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 3/69 while Brett Maxwell claimed 2/62. Jake Theobald and Steven O’Donnell each picked-up two wickets.

In reply, the Hills are in some early trouble at 1/1.

didn’t have any answers for the Devils’ Chris Brittain and Shane Deal.

The home side skipper claimed 5/36 while Deal picked-up 3/39.

Boneo is in all sorts of trouble yet again, this time against Seaford Tigers.

Batting first, the Pandas scored just 9/145 in their 80 overs. Damian Smith came to the crease with the score at 5/81. The Pandas went from 3/80 to 6/81 in a blink of an eye.

Smith faced 121 balls for his 35. Glen Petersen opened the batting and made 26 from 103 balls.

Tom Burgdorf was the best of the Tigers’ bowlers with 4/36, while David James helped himself to 3/19.

Mt Martha has set Seaford 201 for victory after scoring 9/200in their 80 overs at Seaford Reserve.

The Reds got some great service from Alex Mason at the top of the order, scoring 37 and Brett Wilkinson strolled to the crease with his side in some trouble at 5/83. He scored 51 and with the support of Brad Schreuder (34), they were able to push the score to a competitive total.

Faisal Payenda was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/75 while Mathew Herbert claimed 3/19 from 17 overs.

In the final match, Somerville is in a very commanding position against Main Ridge.

The Eagles batted first on their home deck and scored 9/251with Leigh Lowry getting amongst the runs with 57 and all-rounder Aaron Kaddatz also getting 51.

James Abbott bowled 20 overs for the Cougars and finished with figures of 3/41, including seven maidens.

Lachlan Hay and Jason Albress each picked up two wickets.

Frogs’ bats hop to it SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK has set Balnarring a massive challenge in round three of MPCA Sub District cricket.

The Frogs batted first on Saturday on their home deck and scored 9/255 in their 80 overs, setting the Saints a massive run chase to claim victory.

The home side didn’t start well, losing both openers before the score had reached double figures.

However, Matt Whelan and Ralston Keyt were bought together at the crease and shared a 70-run partnership before Whelan went for 35. Keyt went on to top score with 75.

Skipper Gerard Clarke contributed 29 and Rob French 26 in the middle order while the tail had some wag, pushing the total beyond 250.

Jacob Cook was the best of the Saints’ bowlers with 3/69 from 20 overs while Justin Brown bowled 32 overs and finished with figures of 3/101.

Frankston YCW is on the verge of victory against Skye but one can’t help but think that there is still plenty of cricket left in this match.

On day one of the clash at Peninsula Reserve, 15 wickets fell for the afternoon.

Skye was bowled out for 71 after Paul Bradley (3/6), Andrew Kitson (3/15) and Adam Murihead (3/28) all claimed wickets.

The Burras’ skipper Rob Gruar was the only batsman to make an impression with 26.

In reply, the Stonecats are 5/98,

Luke Hutchison the saviour with an unbeaten 51.

Rosebud bowlers will need to be at their best to defend the 161 against Pearcedale.

The evergreen Brad Glenn top scored for the Buds with 52 while Kane Donald was next best with 26.

The Dales’ bowlers were in control, Shayne Gillings the pick of them with 4/44, while Chris Dew and Kaine Smith claimed two wickets each.

Dromana scored 168 against Carrum Downs but their opponents look to be in the best position to win.

Greg McCann top scored for the Hoppers with 45 while coach Mark Whitehead scored 27 and Jedd Savage 26.

Shane Walford made it eight wickets for the season for the Cougars with 4/35 from 17 overs. Stuart Swift and Ryan Lynch each picked-up two wickets.

In reply, the Cougars are in some early trouble at 2/29.

Ballam Park will be looking for two wins on the trot when it defends 176 against Tyabb.

Zac Pedderson top scored for the Kinights with 40 on Saturday while Jon Plakourakis scored 39.

For the Yabbies, the best of the bowlers were Brodie Bennett, who claimed 4/39 and James Mathieson, who picked up 3/40.

In reply, the Knights had six overs at the opposition and had them 1/8 at the close of play.

Knights’ skipper Ryan O’Connor has overnight figures of 1/1 from three overs.

Casey pulls the pin, league in crisis FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt THE PCN Sports Alliance, which governs local football on the Mornington Peninsula, is in damage control after the Casey Cardinia Football Netball League sought to withdraw from their management.

The nine CCFNL clubs, Beaconsfield, Berwick, Cranbourne, Doveton, Hampton Park, Narre Warren, Pakenham, ROC and Tooradin, are waiting on an invitation to a special meeting where they will seek exemption from Rule 14.1, which states 12 months’ notice must be given of the club’s intention to resign from the league.

The clubs have raised points against PCNSA which include poor

communication, a lack of trust, exorbitant fees, poor strategic direction and a general lack of service and attention.

AFL Victoria Country’s have attempted to play mediator between the two parties, however, the CCFNL Clubs are sticking firm.

The CCFNL clubs have sent a list of their grievances to both AFL Vic Country and PCNSA, with AFL Vic Country Football Manager Brett Connell and AFL South East Region General Manager Jeremy Bourke meeting last week with PCNSA Chairman Stuart Gilchrist and CEO Jeff Jones to discuss the club’s issues.

Regardless of the talks, the clubs want nothing to do with PCNSA in 2015 as they look to break free and

govern their own competition.

It is believed that AFL Vic Country’s intervention has come about after PCNSA raised concerns that the departure of the CCFNL clubs would have a serious impact on its operations going forward.

Both Peninsula and Nepean League clubs expressed enormous concerns this season about the management and promotion of the league.

The 32 clubs under the management of the PCN Sports Alliance were asked to respond to the proposal mid-year through the league offices but only two clubs responded.

AFL Victoria will announce before Christmas where the trials will take place.

AFL Victoria general manager Steven Reaper said the input from different football regions would be crucial before final guidelines would be announced.

As part of the survey that was filled out by 369 clubs across Victoria, 83 per cent believed whatever changes were made needed

to be implemented statewide.

Around half of the clubs surveyed pushed for a statewide salary cap, although AFL Victoria said most of those not pushing for the cap were not opposed to it; rather they remained unsure.

“The working party agrees that any salary cap mechanism needs to be tailored for specific regions to incorporate demographic and geographical challenges faced by individual leagues across the state,” Reaper said.

“It also understands a salary cap needs to be supported by other measures, such as a player points system or an alternative equalisation provision, to have the desired impact on escalating player payments, and must also be enforceable.”

GRAEME POWELL MAZDA FRANKSTON Isuzu teams take class wins at 2014 Safari

The Number 1 Selling Mazda MASTER DEALER on the Bayside Peninsula

MAZDA 3 FIVE out of five is a good score in any game, but particularly when it means the whole team has crossed the finish line after the gruelling 2014 Australasian Safari cross-country rally.

Sydney-based Isuzu Motorsports has taken out three class wins in the seven-day event which covered more than 3000km of the Western Australian outback.

WA’s Adrian Di Lallo and co-driver Rodger ‘Roj’ Pedersen were the best placed of the three official Isuzu Motorsports entries, their production-class Isuzu MU-X wagon in fifth outright and first in class in their home state event.

‘Roj’ Pedersen said the final day of the event was the toughest stage of the week.

“Two kilometres into the stage it was pouring with rain and muddy. Bucketing down and really hard going. We brushed a tree and got lost – so did most others actually – and we lost a lot of time trying to find the right way, but we made it.

“I feel really good now, you know, tired, but it’s a great feeling to finish Safari. Sitting next to Adrian, and the whole experience, it’s been awesome.”

Thailand’s Olan Sornsirirat and Veerachai Thorangkoon – the third team in the official ‘Isuzu trio’ – were second in class behind Di Lallo and Pedersen, and seventh outright in their D-MAX ute.

Team leaders Bruce Garland and Harry Suzuki came in 17th and took a class win, despite missing two full days repairing their Dakar-spec Isuzu D-MAX (and being handed extra time penalties for failing to finish those days). Their car was halted by an electrical fault 37km into Day Three while running in fourth place.

Aside from the strong results posted by the official Isuzu Motorsports entrants, the two other

Isuzu crews being helped by the Garland/Suzuki team have also come home well.

The Thai-entered D-MAX crewed by Vorapot Bunchuaylua and Chupong Chaiwan came home in sixth and first in class, while the Isuzu MU-X being campaigned by Safari stalwart Reg Owen and co-driver Russell Cairns finished second in the same class and 13th outright.

“We’ve ended up with a really great result with the team, and all the cars went really well – it’s just a fantastic feeling,” said Garland.

“Today was unbelievable with the rain bucketing down. A whole lot of us got lost and then Steve Riley [who had been leading the event] got stuck in a ditch and a bunch of us helped pull him out. We got soaking wet and covered in mud, but we still had a good time. That’s what Safari is all about.

“All of the Isuzu Motorsports vehicles were better off than so many of the others. They were all slipping and sliding all over the place today, or getting punctures all the time in the rough stuff, but our Toyo tyres do the job for us, no matter whether it’s wet or dry.”

Competitors tackled three stages on the final day, taking them from Exmouth – the gateway to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area – to Carnarvon, where the Gascoyne River meets the Indian Ocean, around 900km north of the West Australian capital of Perth.

The final stage – the 156.69km ‘Murchison Mega Finale’, and a lengthy transport stage before it – took competitors from Carnarvon to Kalbarri, where the Murchison River meets the Indian Ocean, 592km north of Perth. The celebrations – after seven days and more than 3000km of endurance racing – continued well into the night.

Central Carpark, site of the current cinemas

Lazy days spent on the beach

St Paul’s Church of England

The beach looking towards Olivers Hill

Serving the community since 1947

In 1947 Les and Marge Hunter together with Mr Fred Burke decided to open a tyre service on the corner of Beach and Lewis Street, Frankston where it still stands after 66 years.

In an old tin shed a retreading factory was born with Les at the helm and Marge working tirelessly ensuring the bills were paid. As the face of tyres was changing the retreading factory closed, petrol bowsers were introduced and tyre sales became the main source of revenue. Les and Marge continued to work with a clear vision of having a successful business providing for their three little boys. In 1971 one of those little boys Geoffrey commenced working full time with his parents in the business and over the next 42 years blessed with his parents work ethic he was in integral part of the business.

In 1977 there was a name change to Frankston Tyrepower. In 1980 Geoff took on the day to day running of the business he knew that progress was invertible. The business continued to grow going from strength to strength.

In 1992 new premises were built, Marge and Les both saw

their dreams come to fruition but sadly Marge passed away in ‘92 followed by Les in ‘93. Geoff and his wife Jill were keen to maintain petrol sales and driveaway service but with mounting pressure from oil companies slowly independents were squeezed out of the market.

Tyres and mechanical became the main focus of the business.

Integrity, honesty and service has always been Geoffs mantra.

Geoff has recently semi retired. Tyrepower is now managed

by Chris Smith supported by Barry Copper, both long term employees, a great staff and of course Beth Hunter, Geoff’s and Jill’s daughter, overseeing the financials, making sure the bills are paid as her grandma did many years before her.

Frankston Tyrepower continues to provide their customers, some of whom are fourth generation. Much has changed over the years in and around Tyrepower but one thing has always remained the same, great service, honesty, integrity and most of all competitive pricing. With hope this will continue over the next 66 years.

FRANKSTON REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

Serving our community for the past 10 years.

St John of God Health Care purchased Nepean Rehabilitation Hospital in 2004 from a group of doctors who had established it as a private rehabilitation hospital in 2000. The hospital was originally established in 1970 as Peninsula Private Hospital, which relocated to premises nearby.

Our hospital, known then, as St John of God Nepean Rehabilitation Hospital changed its name in 2012 to St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital to better reflect and connect more with the community we proudly serve.

In early years our hospital focused on orthopaedics and reconditioning but now, with an improved multidisciplinary approach, we are able to support patients through recovery with many programs including:

• Cardiac • Chronic Pain Management • Falls & Balance • Hydrotherapy • Multiple trauma • Neurological • Parkinson’s Disease • Oncology • Orthopaedic • Outpatient programs • Stroke • Parkinson’s Disease • Pulmonary • Reconditioning • Stroke • Dietary programs • Speech therapy programs Our patients are the centre of the model of care we deliver at our hospital. A holistic approach has proven to enhance the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual wellbeing of our patients.

We also strongly believe in supporting our community with our Social Outreach projects: • Youth homelessness is a critical social issue in Frankston and to help address this concern, our hospital, in conjunction with the Peninsula Community Ownership Foundation (PenCOF), funds the employment of a full time “Open Family” Outreach Youth Worker to work with these youth on a daily basis. Our hospital continually organises a collection of nappies and other baby goods to assist homeless and disadvantaged young mums that come into contact with the service.

• We support the Frankston Churches Community Breakfast Program with eggs, bacon, juice and two volunteer caregivers each month.

• Each year our Christmas Hamper drive provides a range of goods, donated by our caregivers, patients and their families, to the St Vincent de Paul Society who provide hampers to our local families.

We commence our drive in November each year.
