FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bob tails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight

Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal.

Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say.

He was made of snow, but the children know he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around!

Oh, Frosty, the Snowman, was alive as he could be; and the children say he could laugh and play, just the same as you and me.

Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, look at Frosty go.

Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, over the hills of snow.

Frosty the Snowman, knew the sun was hot that day, so he said, “Let’s run, and we’ll have some fun now, before I melt away.”

Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there, all around the square, sayin’, “Catch me if you can.”

He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop; and only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, “Stop!”

For Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye, sayin’ “Don’t cry, I’ll be back again some day.”

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh

UNWANTED catch: Snapper Point Angling Club president Russell Sheppard says the paid parking trial near Mornington pier will disadvantage boat users and is against Better Boating intention. See Page 12 Picture: Gary Sissons

Paid parking trial starts Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE summer paid parking trial is now underway at three Mornington Peninsula foreshore car parks.

Despite concerns about fairness and its online operation, Mornington Peninsula Shire last week said it had “compiled everything you need to know to park with ease”.

The three car parks at Sunnyside Beach, Mounty Eliza, Schnapper Point (near the pier), Mornington and near Flinders pier.

Two and four hour restrictions apply

at Mornington, but Sunnyside and Flinders have no time limits.

Parking is free for peninsula residents who have an e-permit and $6.50 an hour for visitors or $19.50 a day at Sunnyside and Flinders.

The pay parking fees visitors must download the PayStay app and follow the prompts. They can also pay by calling PayStay or visiting their website on the day of their visit.

Peninsula residents must obtain a free e-permit from the shire’s website: mornpen.vic.gov.au/epermits A statement issued by the shire on Friday 1 December said parking rules

- “made with the help of Mornington Peninsula residents and businesses” - at the three chosen car parks “have been refined to minimise the impact on visitors and ensure the tradition of a ‘day at the beach’ is not compromised”.

The paid trial parking trial had stemmed from council’s mid-year decision ”to provide equal access to popular beaches and fairly distributing the cost of maintaining these areas”.

A 15-minute “grace period” would ensure that there would be no charge for vehicles dropping off or picking up passengers or that had been unable

to find a vacant park.

The trial at the three car parks would test the concept, rules and technology before council made any more decisions on paid parking.

The mayor Cr Simon Brooks said all parking payments were electronic and linked to the vehicle registrations, “so there will be no parking meters or paper tickets issued”.

Revenue from the trial would be used to maintain foreshores and other services, including grass mowing, managing trees and cleaning beaches.

Brooks said e-permits for residents and businesses and their staff to park

free the three locations were available on council’s website.

“Any decision to roll the system out to other council-managed foreshore car parks will not be made until a full assessment of the success or otherwise of this pilot has been established,” he said.

Information about using the app and e-permits is available at: mornpen.vic. gov.au/epermits Comments about the paid parking trial can be made at: mornpen.vic.gov. au/paidparking Fishers caught in paid parking net - Page 9

Vape warning after extreme reaction Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au A FORMER Mornington Secondary College student has blamed vaping for an extreme allergic reaction that led to medical treatment.

Now in his 20s and a cigarette smoker, he had turned to flavoured, over the counter vapes in an effort to quit, but believes he ended up suffering an allergic reaction from unknown chemicals contained in the product.

His skin began itching and his lips “blew up” to three or four times their size within hours of vaping, he told The News.

“It was pretty scary, I wasn’t sure what was going on but I know that an anaphylactic response can be really dangerous,” he said.

“I went to the doctor and when he confirmed it was most likely the additives in the vape, I threw it straight in the bin.”

The man, who did not want to be named, said he was warning others to stay away for the products unless prescribed by a doctor.

E-cigarettes are prescription only and release a controlled amount of nicotine. But non-nicotine vapes that can be bought over the counter often contain a cocktail of chemicals that have been known to cause allergic reactions in some users.

Some imported products still allegedly contain traces of nicotine.

Allergic reactions can be mild, such as itchiness or rashes, or severe, like anaphylactic shock. Common symptoms of an allergy related to vaping are throat irritation, coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

In May, two high school students were taken to hospital after suffering a severe reaction to a vaping product in Melbourne.

The boys from Whitefriars College, in Melbourne's east, fell ill in the morning just hours apart.

Some of the ingredients alleged to have been found in vapes include acrolein (known cancercausing agents), heavy metals and flavourings linked to lung disease.

Last week the federal government acted by banning imports of disposable vapes from January 2024 to curb the growing popularity of the devices with young people.

The ban will be expanded in March to include all non-therapeutic vapes, including refillable devices, while importers of vapes for medical

purposes will need a permit from the Office of Drug control.

Additional legislation next year will apply the same prohibitions to domestic manufacturers.

Health Minister Mark Butler has said that some vapes were deliberately targeting young people, with cute pictures on them and bubblegum flavouring.

Doctors and nurses will still be able to prescribe therapeutic vapes where clinically appropriate, but therapeutic vapes will be restricted from using flavours, have limited nicotine levels and be sold in pharmaceutical packaging under new rules.

New rules may lead to NDIS housing NEW rules exempting certain community accommodation from planning permits are expected to speed up construction of a new purposebuilt NDIS development in Rosebud, potentially paving the way for similar accommodation elsewhere on the Mornington Peninsula.

The project by builders Balmain and Co to be launched on Monday (4 December) with a turning of the sod and welcome to country ceremony, is expected to fill a need for NDIS housing in the area.

According to data, around 75 per cent of NDIS housing is older stock, and not fit for purpose for a range of client needs.

There is also a shortage of properties on the peninsula according to developer spokesperson Jess Jones, with only two vacancies currently listed on the peninsula for NDIS housing.

Balmain and Co plans to build seven units (four two-bedroom and three one-bedroom) over three levels in The Crescent, Rosebud, housing up to 11 participants.

Jones said the state government last year changed the planning laws to allow builders to develop NDIS accommodation without a planning permit, under “community care” accommodation.

Clause 52.22 was brought in to “facilitate the establishment of community care accommodation”.

To be eligible, developments must not accommodate more than 20 clients, not including staff.

A 2018 study by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute shows Australia’s supply of specialty disability accommodation needs to grow by 60 per cent to house the 28,000 people the NDIS expects to finance.

The report identified another 33,200 people with very high support needs who may require SDA on top of the 17,500 already in this form of housing. Of these 33,200 people, 6200 people are under 64 residing in aged care.

Record penalty for labour hire firm AN unlicensed labour hire company that provided workers to farms in Rosebud, Devon Meadows, Koo Wee Rup and Torquay has been issued a total penalty of $617,916 – the highest in Australian history for breaches of labour hire law.

A L Star Express, of Keysborough, was found to have knowingly and repeatedly contravened the Labour Hire Licensing Act 2018 (Vic) when it supplied workers to four separate horticulture businesses, without holding a labour hire licence.

The workers jobs included picking fruit and vegetables and other horticulture tasks.

In its judgement, the Supreme Court of Victoria noted that the contraventions “must be characterised as serious”, that the penalty “needs to be sufficiently high not to be the ‘price of doing business’”, and that licensing obligations could not be avoided by supplying workers through an intermediary business.

“I refer to the knowing and repeated nature of the contraventions, and the extent of the THE Beleura Cliff Path runs from Mills Beach to Caraar Creek Lane, Mornington.

Meeting over path’s future A PUBLIC meeting will be held next week to discuss the future of the Beleura cliff path, Mornington, which has been closed due to a landslide.

The Save Our Cliff Path community group says there is a 50 per cent chance of the path being permanently closed.

The path runs from Mills Beach to Caraar Creek Lane.

The public meeting will be held at 5pm on Monday 11 December at Mornington Yacht Club. The meeting has been organised by the Save Our Cliff Path community group.

contraventions, namely over several months, and affecting at least sixteen workers,” the judgement stated.

As well as prosecuting alleged contraventions of the Act, the Labour Hire Authority, which led the prosecutions, can remove labour hire providers’ ability to operate in Victoria by refusing, suspending, or cancelling their licence.

Licensing commissioner Steve Dargavel said labour hire workers picking fruit and vegetables were among Victoria’s most vulnerable and it was critical that the companies employing them were appropriately vetted and licensed to operate.

“Dodgy labour hire providers who pay workers as little as $17 an hour have no place in our industry and will be held to account,” he said.

“Significant penalties also apply for engaging unlicensed labour hire providers, so Victorian businesses should always check the LHA website to ensure their provider holds a current licence.”

Riders’s convoy delivers toys for appeal A CONVOY of up to 400 motorbikes travelled from Frankston to Rosebud Secondary College on Saturday to deliver hundreds of toys for the Food For All Christmas Appeal.

The riders gathered at Frankston pier in the morning before the police traffic management team closed Nepean Highway for 10 minutes at 9.30am to allow them to leave as a group. The next stop was at the Dromana

information centre where they filled up the triangle space before following the coast road to Rosebud.

The riders arrived at the secondary college in Eastbourne Road at about 11am, in time for morning tea and a sausage sizzle, as they unloaded their toys.

Artist captures the character of the land AN exhibition at Baluk Arts, Mount Eliza will feature work by First Nations artist from Waradjuri country, Uncle Kevin Williams.

The exhibition, Totems of the Waradjuri, will open from 6pm on Thursday 7 December and will run until the end of January.

The gallery’s Bronwyn Smart said the artist was a descendant of the Waradjuri people, born in Narrandera, New South Wales, and now resided south of the Murray River.

“As a young boy he learnt how to make boomerangs from his father and grandfather and he learnt how to paint from watching his mother in action,” she said.

“What has developed through his work over the years is an ability to be able to capture the natural characteristics of the land, as well as native Australian animals and then combine them together with the markings of the Waradjuri.

“The Waradjuri markings are markings and symbols that were discovered in the carvings within the Bora Grounds, a traditional meeting place on the land where he grew up, and they are clearly a strong influence on his arts practice.”

Smart said the gallery welcomed Williams “as he brings a new collection of works large and small with great cultural meaning and significance”.

SCULPTOR Hugh Montgomery finds raw materials and inspiration for his “characters” washed ashore after storms.

20 MILLION INSURANCE COVER 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE

ALTHOUGH he did not realise it at the time, stacking firewood 25 years ago led directly to the opening this week of an exhibition of Hugh Montgomery’s sculptures.

Included in the firewood waiting to be stacked was a “solid block of seasoned red gum” that Montgomery regarded as being “too good to burn”.

The red gum was taken to his home in Dromana and became the first of his “visitors” or “characters”, made from timber and plastics that Montgomery has collected from Mornington Peninsula beaches.

“After collecting, preparing and assembling the pieces I have made moulds of the work and then have had them cast in bronze,” he said.

The “characters” that evolved over the 25 years following the initial firewood find came when time permitted while Montgomery juggled work and family commitments.

“With each new work I have burrowed deeper into my psyche to create more complex and curious creations, “ he said.

The exhibition name, Follow the Curve, explains Montgomery’s approach to the treatment of the various bits and pieces washed onto the beaches.

Follow the Curve under Montgomery’s artistic name of H.V Montgomery, opens this week and runs until 24 December at &Gallery in Morce Avenue, Sorrento, call 0417 324 795 or visit andgalleryaustralia.net Keith Platt

A YOUNG male kangaroo has been saved from a tragic end after being trapped for three days on a Balnarring property and harassed by dogs.

The kangaroo was relentlessly pursued by neighbouring dogs, leading to a painful encounter with a fence and visible injuries.

A rescue team from Vets For Compassion was able to sedate the terrified animal, after it was seen hiding in a secluded corner of a paddock.

VFC vet and founder Elaine Ong examined the kangaroo, whose injuries included scratches on his legs and a small patch of missing fur on his shoulder. Fortunately, there were no puncture wounds or signs of a serious dog attack, which could have led to bacterial infections or stress-related conditions like capture myopathy.

After receiving essential treatments and a warm wrap for comfort, the kangaroo was released into safer, suitable habitat nearby.

Ong said the release was a moment of joy and relief for everyone involved.

On 9 November a kangaroo was euthanised on the beach at Dromana after apparently being chased and attacked by a dog (Fatal end to kangaroo’s beach visit, The News 14/11/23).

In the wake of that incident dog owners were again reminded of the need to keep their pets on leashes or under control in public areas.

Vets and assistants rescue and treat animals in emergency response during natural disasters, and work to reduce the suffering of stray animals.

The not-for-profit also assists ethical animal welfare groups in underdeveloped countries in a range of programs by upskilling and providing hands-on support to other vets..

Vets For Compassion is holding a Night of Compassion fundraising event on Saturday 9 December at Ash Marton Realty, Frankston.

The money raised will help vets and animal rescue professionals respond to daily emergency animal calls across Melbourne.

Toy joy: Sponsors, supporters, toy makers and community group leaders with a selection of this year’s toys made by Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula. Inset: Toys are sorted before distribution to the needy.

Toys on time for Christmas TOY makers from the Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula held their annual toy handover on Thursday 29 November at the workshop off Elizabeth Avenue in Rosebud.

The group has a membership of 96 men and women, 15 of whom are the dedicated toy makers. They meet each Wednesday to craft wonderful toys, with some taking them home to complete. Some of the toy makers manufacture their toys at home and

bring them in for the distribution day.

This year more than 500 toys were donated to Rosebud Salvation Army, Rosebud Food for All, and Mornington Community Support Centre.

The group is not a men’s shed and new members are welcome to join as toymakers or to learn woodturning and furniture making.

THE paid parking trial that started last Friday at three foreshore parking areas is continuing to draw criticism from ratepayers and visitors to the Mornington Peninsula.

Timed and paid parking is already implemented by all councils across Melbourne’s waterfront areas, but the change is proving a hard pill to swallow for peninsula beach users accustomed to free, all-day parking.

The trial was labelled a “fiasco” at Flinders before it started and Mornington’s Schnapper Point car park is also proving problematic where Snapper Point Angling Club members and other boaties rely on easy access to car and trailer parking spots and fishing charter customers need a minimum five hours of parking (Paid parking trial ‘fiasco’ before it begins, The News 28/11/23).

The third car park in the paid parking trial is at Sunnyside Beach, Mount Eliza (No easy access to nude beach, The News 25/10/23).

Apart from 37 designated boat trailer parking area beside the yacht club, and an overflow area in Flinders Avenue, other parking spaces are time restricted for everyone, including along Schnapper Point Drive.

Angling club president Russell Sheppard said the timed parking would create mayhem for regular users, including the yacht club, recreational fishers, people with trailer sailers, jet skiers, water skiers and other families who go “cruising”.

The changes have brought in a mix of twohour and four-hour time restrictions.

Sheppard says that move is in “direct conflict” with the state government’s Better Boating intentions for parking changes at Schnapper Point and along Schnapper Point Drive.

“It is labelled as visitor paid parking trial, but it captures locals too by restricting how long they can stay,” he said.

Sheppard said the fishing club was not consulted on the changes.

The mayor Cr Simon Brooks says the new restrictions cater to a variety of groups and offer options.

“While our residents will be able to park free of charge, visitors will need to pay and both residents and visitors will need to abide by the timing restrictions,” he said.

“The car park designated for boat trailer parking, however, remains unchanged and vehicles with trailers attached will continue to be able to park in this unrestricted car park free of charge.

This is also the car park depicted on the Better Boating Victoria website as the area for boat trailer parking.

“If the boat trailer car park is full, the overflow area to park is now along Flinders Drive for vehicles with trailers attached, which can park free of charge. All day parking for customers of fishing or boat charters is also available along Flinders Drive.

“This is a pilot project and there will inevitably be a period of transition and adjustment. The aim of the pilot is to more fairly share the cost of maintaining our foreshores by asking visitors who use those areas to contribute. The new timing restrictions at Schnapper Point are aimed at encouraging vehicle turnover so that as many people as possible get to enjoy our foreshore.”

Compass points the way A NEW sculpture has been installed at the Peninsula Link’s Cranbourne Road, Frankston ramp.

Compass 2023 by artist Natasha Johns-Messenger was installed last week. The steel pole sculpture stands 14 metres high, and lights up after dark.

Johns-Messenger said the sculpture “responds to site - its scale, topography, light, spatial orientation, materiality and context. Engaging perceptual shifts inside simple geometric framing, my artworks aim to question our expectations of space and three-dimensional form”.

“The forms of Compass 2023 are based on the navigation pillars of north, south, east and west, the smallest semi-circle pointing due north. The sculpture’s semi-circular forms also reference a drawing compass and echo the circular freeway of some freeway off-ramps. At night, the north, south, east and west semi-circles will be lit with narrow beams missing the vertical supports to give the

feeling that the arcs float above,” she said. “Utilising spatial and material conundrums, my work creates a chasm between what we think we know and what we perceive, heightening awareness. The fundamental implication here is that we all play a role in authoring our world.”

The sculpture forms part of the Southern Way McClelland Commission, a program of new sculptures alternating between sites at Skye Road and Cranbourne Road along the Peninsula Link freeway every two years.

The $300,000 commission for the sculpture was awarded last year. There will be 14 commissions through the program to 2037.

Money for the sculptures is donated by Southern Way. Two previous sculptures paid through the program, Love Flower and Reflective Lullaby, have now returned to McClelland Gallery, Langwarrin.

Weekly footy skills clinics FREE pre-season football clinics being run at Mornington Park is designed to give young boys and girls the chance to learn new skills, stay active and have fun.

The Demon Squad clinic has been running every Tuesday since 14 November, with the last session on 7 December.

It is part of the Beleura Junior Football Club’s summer skills program run by parents from 5.30pm to 6.30pm at Mornington Park. The clinic is open to players of all age groups. New players are welcome to join, and players are free to come and go as they please.

The program is led by Andy Luwor, who previously coached at Beleura for six seasons, and also has coaching experience at St Kilda Next Generation Academy and at senior level with Pines Football Netball Club.

He is being assisted by other current Beleura coaches and ex-Beleura players and committee members.

Albatross at Dunes MAX Christie and the albatross have made history together at the Dunes Golf Links, Rye. While playing in the Dunes Medal Tournament Christie scored an albatross on the seventh hole on the 28 November.

While particular shots have their place in golf, such as birdie (one under par) and eagle (two under par), the albatross, or a double eagle, is rare.

In golf, an albatross is when a player scores three strokes under par on a single hole.

Christie, of Geelong Golf Club, started his record making score by hitting off from 222 meters with a five iron.

Hitting an albatross has been calculated to be a more than six million to one chance.

Christie’s performance was made in a game that saw golfers face heavy rain and wind gusts of up to 50 kilometers an hour.

He said making such a shot on the seventh hole was “truly special”.

Taste loss for single use coffee cups A CAMPAIGN to reduce single-use coffee cups on the Mornington Peninsula is gathering momentum, with some local cafes taking up the challenge and spreading the word.

A first for Victoria, the peninsula’s Plastic Free Places campaign is launching a reuse revolution at Commonfolk Coffee and HomeGround in Mornington, culminating in BYO Cup Day on 8 and 9 December.

The program is being paid for by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and delivered by the Boomerang Alliance, which represents 55 allies across Australia to tackle waste and litter.

Birte Moliere, the alliance’s Plastic Free Places facilitator, said the community was being invited to opt for reusables instead of disposable cups, with the goal of achieving 100 per cent coffee in reusables on the BYO cup days.

Moliere said the campaign show other businesses how to make the transition and how much it benefits the environment, a venue’s reputation and its bottom line.

Australians used 2.7 million single-use coffee cups a day — one billion a year. The equivalent of 16,000 single use cups were being sent to landfill or littered on the peninsula every day.

“By the time your single use cup has reached your hand, it has already left a big environmental footprint. Using up fossil fuel, paper and water resources, plus the carbon emissions resulting from its round-the-world production trip, the environmental price of a single-use cup is high”, Moliere said.

Sam Keck, co-founder of ethical coffee roaster and venues Commonfolk and social enterprise HomeGround, said small steps, like saying no to single use cups, could make a big difference.

Handling the heat

THE Hastings Police Senior Citizens Register hosted a Christmas afternoon tea at the Hastings Bowling Club, last week, pictured, where more than 100 clients and volunteers were treated to entertainment, raffles and afternoon tea.

Mornington Peninsula Local Area Commander Inspector Terry Rowlands presented volunteers with service certificates.

Thanks went out to all the volunteers and Leading Senior Constable Andrew Ellams from Hastings Police who do such a great job for local senior citizens.

POLICE are reminding people to safely use equipment over summer.

Tasks like welding, grinding, or other jobs that involve heat or flames are prohibited unless users follow certain rules during the fire danger period: n A fire-resistant shield or guard is in place to stop sparks, hot metal or slag from the fire. n An area at least 1.5 metres from the operation is clear of flammable material or wetted down sufficiently to prevent the spread of fire. n There is a hose connected to a reticulated water supply or water spray knapsack containing at least nine litres of water. n All offcuts and hot materials are placed in fireproof containers. n Someone is in attendance at all times while the fire is alight and has the capacity and means to extinguish the fire. n The fire is completely extinguished before the person leaves. n On declared total fire ban days tools that create heart or sparks cannot be used.

NEWS DESK Monash joins lobby group MONASH University is the latest “partner” to be signed up by the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula.

To be known as a community partner member, the committee’s CEO Josh Sinclair said Monash “will provide valuable expertise and advice towards developing our strategic plan and advocacy objectives”.

The committee’s other community partner is Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Once regarded solely as a business lobby group, the committee describes itself as being “the peak advocacy body for Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula”.

The committee’s website lists 11 “corporate gold” members, 20 corporate, 14 small business, 14 not for profit and three associations.

Other education providers on the committee include Toorak College, Woodleigh School, Balcombe Grammar, Peninsula Grammar, Mornington Secondary College and Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network.

Originally a teachers' college, Monash's Peninsula campus was previously known as the State College at Frankston. Following talks with Caulfield Institute of Technology in the early 1980s, the college became the Frankston campus of the newly formed Chisholm Institute of Technology in 1982.

In 1990, the Peninsula and Caulfield campuses of Chisholm Institute amalgamated with Monash University.

Since then, the Peninsula campus has grown to become the university's third-largest campus in Australia.

On the run for mental health Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au ATTEMPTING 50 kilometres a day for 50 days is a challenge that would make even the bravest of runners hesitate, but for Somerville man Connor Scott it was a mission with a purpose.

Scott took on the challenge to raise money for Mornington charity Speak & Share because he backs what the charity does for young people.

“I wanted to be able to help challenge the stigmas of mental illness and help this charity work on proactive responses,” he said.

From 15 October to 3 December, no matter the weather or the pain level, Scott donned his running shoes and took to the track.

“I love what the boys at Speak & Share do … when I was younger I had no idea what mental health looked like until it was too late,” he said.

“I fell into a deep depression with crippling anxiety following some life-changing events and I had no idea how to handle it or describe what was happening.

“In my mind, I’d lost the plot. I was having constant panic attacks, was struggling to get out of bed and felt like I’d lost all sense of self.

“I couldn’t bring myself to talk to anyone because I felt scared of being judged and honestly I thought I was the only person going through it.”

Sott said that after 18 months of continuing to sweep it under the rug, it became too much, and led to him attempting suicide.

“Once I did reach out to a couple of mates, I realised I wasn’t alone, that I wasn’t weak and that others were going through it, too,” he said.

He said the resulting support he received from friends and family, psychologists, counsellors and coaches have all had a huge impact on his life.

“I can happily say I’ve had the best year of my life so far. Back then, I never thought I’d be in the position that I am now. I never thought it

would pass.”

Scott said he knew it was important to empower others to speak up about their mental health.

To let people know that “it will pass”.

From needing ice packs to treat his many aches and pains and some torn quads, plus lots of extra meals to keep his weight from dropping too much, Scott – a physiotherapist - has suffered (albeit happily) for his quest.

“There were many days when I really had to

challenge myself to run 50 kilometres before work. I won’t say it was easy, but it’s been an amazing journey,” he said.

Scott’s GoFundMe page is still open, and he is aiming to raise $50,000 for Speak & Share to provide 2500 young people with the opportunity to learn about how the vulnerability is “an act of courage, not weakness”.

Time running out for comment on harbour options Have readers taken part in any community consultation about the proposed plan to commercialise Mornington harbour, put up by Parks Victori? Not likely, as there is no publicity.

Do we want to see another long jetty built alongside the existing one? Do we want to lose the moorings for the yachts that are part of our harbour landscape?

Yes, Fisherman’s jetty needs rebuilding – and the government has budgeted $4 million to do so - but now Parks has come up with further options for the future. That jetty may have an extra platform and hook. There may be visits from the Enterprize tall ship; there may be a ferry service from Docklands to Mornington and this would need a bigger turning circle and a new berth.

Imagine being seasick in a north westerly trying to berth in the harbour?

And what about the fishers, the divers, the learners trying to berth in front of the yacht club while coping with the swimmers in the water, the paddle boarders and the motorboats coming in with proposed aquaculture produce?

Parks has put up three options and we, the public, are supposed to understand the nonexisting rationale for the options. Where are the funds? Where are the environmental protection ideas?

Those of us who were involved in the proposed safe harbour and (abandoned) marina in 2010 and the harbour precinct works in 2014-15 know there are many problems in doing anything in the harbour with its shallow waters, sand movements, rising sea levels and increased storms roaring over the pier and the need for dredging if larger boats are to berth.

We need to act and to respond. The options and the plan are at Mornington Harbour – Local Port Area Plan Project | Engage Victoria and the closing date is 8 December.

No easy ‘free’ parking Residents may park free during Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s trial of paid parking at peninsula beaches [but] the process set up by the shire is a case study in “digital discrimination” (Paid parking trial ‘fiasco’ before it begins, The News 28/11/23).

To access free resident parking, you must: Own a computer; go online to the Paystay website; give away lots of personal information; make digital copies of two private documents; upload those documents; download the Paystay app.

As the meerkat says “simples” – not.

Andrew Gibson OAM, Pt Leo

Considered decisions When elected, councillors represent and work for the betterment of the community. They rely on council officers to assist them with various tasks and decision-making processes. These decisions are made after lengthy discussions and necessary inspections are carried out before presenting them at a public council meeting.

Consulting the public at every step of the way would consume valuable time and create confusion, as the final product may change significantly by the time it is presented to the public (Transparency backed, but ‘secret’ talks stay, The News 28/11/23).

Cr Antonella Celi said that councillors themselves are the best source to discover what is happening and that there are avenues available for the public to gain insight into the council’s workings.

Ignoring disability I went for a walk around Balnarring Civic Court Reserve after not being there for many months.

I saw the new covered bandstand and - from afar - it looks very impressive. However, it quickly became apparent that it is completely inaccessible.

I have pointed out Mornington Peninsula Shire’s failure to consider wheelchair accessibility in its various construction projects on numerous occasions, but this is a new low.

Presumably, the shire thinks that no-one in a wheelchair, or with impaired mobility, will wish

to participate in any event that is held on the bandstand? Shame on them.

Bianca Felix, Bittern

Government cuts I believe the tactics of police using handwritten signs on police cars as part of their industrial action is a criminal offence of Defacing of Government Property.

Possibly the reason why the government has not given the police their wage increases, and other demands is because they need to contain the debt which is blowing out with $6 million a day in interest.

Police numbers are down by 800 and this may be because Australians see policing as too dangerous as the result of the police killed in Queensland and South Australia and the August 1998 murders of Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller, which were highlighted in the Lawyer X scandal.

Police do a dangerous job, but now reality is being felt by the Allan government that the debt has to be paid and to cut the increasing interest bill for that debt.

There needs to be a cut in government public servants and government spending, or more taxes will be handed out to Victorians and Victorian business as seen in the latest the cruise ship tax which will hit the Victorian tourist industry and, of course, employment.

Cliff path is an asset not a liability

As one of the silent vast majority, I don’t think that Mornington Peninsula Shire Council flying the gay pride flag is cute, woke, politically correct, necessary, desirable, or very smart (Dialogue’ terminated over flag, The News 28/11/23).

I too would like to know who instigated the action and why; is it permanent and how much ratepayers money is involved?

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

After the dramatic landslips closed the Beleura cliff path, Mornington, in late 2022, we met with Mornington Peninsula Shire expecting to hear about a search for the causes of the slips, unravelling the drains problem, and plans to get the job started. But the shire said the cost was too high; the state government had to fork out.

Before anything could actually be done, a geotechnical review of the path was needed to bring the state government on board. This was to be the start line.

Our long-held view was that drain failures were the main cause of all previous landslips, and 2022 was no exception. The main game was to fix the drains. You can’t change the geo-tech structure of the cliff, but you can change the drains. We lost that argument.

But here’s another problem. The Stantec Geotech Report still isn’t ready for release. This is 12 months after the landslips. We hope to get it a couple of days of days before the public meeting we have organised for Monday 11 December, 5 pm at the Mornington Yacht Club.

The reason for the meeting is to let people know how serious the delays are in tackling the real issues of the path. And secondly, to help the shire understand the strong feelings people have about the future of this path.

The shire sees the Beleura cliff path as a liability. We see it as an asset.

We are only at the start line.

Storage problems

Sighs of Christmas

cation of the Baxter line? No. In fact, Australia has little to show for the mountainous debt accrued by the self-declared party of money managers.

Now, Ms McKenzie and Mr Groth would like us to believe that projects such as these can be easily achieved because their party had “promised” funds for their completion. It is a pity then that this money didn’t get spent during the near decade in power that the coalition had.

It is just so easy to govern from the Opposition benches, isn’t it Sam and Zoe? Dr Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Flag needs answers

The CarbonNet project is funded with state and federal taxpayer money to build a 100 kilometres pipeline from Loy Yang to Golden Beach, supposedly to store carbon dioxide produced from converting brown coal to hydrogen (Carbon capture hoax, The News 27/11/23). The plan is to store the waste CO2 underneath the sandstone in the Gippsland Basin approximately 1.5km beneath the seabed via pressurised injection wells. Golden Beach has been described as “Gippsland’s secret hideaway paradise.”

The Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) project will be unable to proceed if the CO2 waste can’t be safely transported and stored.

Chevron’s Gorgon LNG project in Western Australia, also trying to store carbon dioxide under sandstone, has run into ongoing technical difficulties causing delays and cost blowouts.

The presence of “solids, gas and oil in the water pumped to the surface” has caused disposal issues, and injection pressure has caused earth tremors.

Chevron, which has already spent over $3 billion on CO2 injection, is planning a “significant additional investment” to modify the wells.

There’s a strong possibility that any taxpayer money spent on the CarbonNet HESC project will go the same way — money down the well.

Oh Dear, oh deer, oh not more reindeer.

Searching in vain for some other stable animals such as lowing cattle, or bleating lambs, I was overwhelmed by crass commercial exploitative children’s art adorning Main Street, Mornington.

One glimmer in the dark were some symbolic stars topping Christmas trees, so congrats to those primary schoolies. Boo bah sucks to the rest of the tosh.

Full marks to the colourful display boards that brighten up the streetscape, and the good news is that there are plenty of empty boards for us God botherers, people of faith, church attendees whose lives are undoubtedly extended by congregating in friendly, supportive, charitable funds provision, missionary providers and, yes, some free child minding, not to mention the delicious cookies that my church serves to one and all.

Space for a gentle reminder that all you nonbelievers get a wonderful holiday because a baby was born in a Bethlehem stable with adoring parents, animals all around, a star outside to guide some big wigs who kindly gave some perfumed gifts (perhaps helping dampen the animal pongs) and from this simple scene came a nativity story, shared by many millions of people ever since.

Gardens are good

Coalition of debt

How good are community gardens (Growing community spirit, The News 28/11/23)? A friendly outdoor space to meet with others, learn and share ideas, and grow fresh, seasonal produce is very special indeed.

In my experience, community garden gatherings and working bees also offer sensational freshly baked food.

Growing your own is not only more sustainable, but usually more nutritious and cheaper than buying from the shops. It’s therefore wonderful that community gardens are increasing in number across the peninsula.

Those keen to get growing can contact Morn-

It was great to see the double page spread devoted to Liberals Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie and Nepean MP Sam Groth complaining about funding cuts to infrastructure programs (Reverse freeway budget cuts - MP and ‘Blatant’ disregard for peninsula, The News 28/11/23). Presumably, we will soon see a double page spread given to local Labor MPs and candidates? These two MPs should realise that the funding cuts were made to reduce some of the nearly $1trillion debt left by the previous coalition government, you know, the “debt and deficit party”.

What have we got to see for that debt? The Jetty Road, Rosebud overpass? No. The electrifi-

No more debt Just as I was writing this letter to pat myself on the back for the letters to The News and the state and federal governments on the Jetty Road, Rosebud roundabout and saving $74 million by fixing the problem for $1m, Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie helped me out in her newsletter and recently delivered, at my expense: “Government has ripped out over $300 million and cancelled the Jetty Road overpass”.

Yes it would be nice to have all of these projects and more, and maybe even some social welfare programs not blocked by the federal opposition. Unfortunately, no one wants to pay for them as can be demonstrated by the coalition’s stage 3 tax cuts.

We cannot continue to drive Australia into even more debt. The Commonwealth will pay just under $18 billion in interest on almost $1 trillion of debt (note I did not point my finger at the coalition). Australia’s total interest bill is then expected to climb above $20 billion in 2024-25 and reach $26 billion in 2026-27.

I am guessing that Zoe thinks that $313b of tax cuts with the benefits flowing disproportionately to high income earners and men should be offset with $313b worth of pre-election pork car parks and another trillion dollars of debt.

Still patting myself on the back for my efforts in getting a cost effective solution to the pedestrian crosswalk at Jetty Road roundabout and preventing another bottleneck at the Boneo Road roundabout.

It is only a problem six weekends a year when the tourists invade.

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

MONDAY

THEN YOU RUN

SBS VICELAND, 9.25pm

FRIDAY

Most teenagers complain their parents aren’t edgy enough, but freshly finished high-schooler Tara (Leah McNamara, pictured below) doesn’t have that problem.

In this vividly styled Irish thriller, you could say her family has gone too far the other way. A buddy summer holiday trip turned drug-laden nightmare, the ludicrous and morbidly comical developments are fast-paced and (mostly) fun. Normal People’s McNamara is outstanding as Tara, who is not only contending with gangsters in Rotterdam after shockingly discovering her estranged father is a drug kingpin, but guns, gore and even a serial killer.

UNDER THE VINES

ABC TV, 8.30pm

Filmed in New Zealand’s stunning Central Otago, the idyllic backdrop of green pastures and meandering vines sit enticingly alongside the capers of fish-out-of-water winery owners Daisy (Rebecca Gibney, pictured left) and Louis (Charles Edwards). Tonight, sunshine abounds, but it’s not all warmth and rays of hope for the crew at Oakley Wines. There’s unexpected news that implicates everyone when an old friend of Stanley’s turns up, shattering the status quo.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S WEEKLY

TEN, 7.30pm

If you aren’t lit up in Christmas mode already with carols blaring, the pudding mix triumphantly in the freezer and a present list done and dusted, this annual extravaganza from the iconic magazine is assured to deck your halls with ideas. Hosted by Sarah Harris (pictured right).

Would you scoff the leftover ham sitting idly in the fridge two weeks after it was served up to the extended family? In this festive special, the truth comes out. Playful Andy Lee (pictured above) returns to the hosting chair and the 100 faces on screen to find out what tickles the group’s fancy during Christmas time. Joining the merry festivities as panellists are glamorous Love Island Australia host Sophie Monk and comedians Tommy Little and Anne Edmonds. There’s also a surprise guest in store.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston shooting case – Accused commited for trial Compiled by Cameron McCullough PETER Gordon Hannah, an ex-constable of police, appeared, on Tuesday, before Messrs. Armstrong (chairman) Oates, and Brown, J.’sP., on remand from the City Court, and was charged with having, on the 18th inst., shot with intent to murder Senior Constable James Culhane, and Constable James Alexander Graham.

Sub-Inspector Spratling prosecuted, Detective Sergeant Armstrong assisting.

Accused was defended by Mr. E. F. S. England.

In outlining the case Sub-Inspector Spratling detailed the happenings from the time accused was seen in the Prince of Wales Hotel, up to the time the shooting took place.

James Culhane, senior constable, sworn, said “that on the 17 of November, 1923, at about 11 p.m., in company with Constable Graham, he saw accused at the Prince of Wales Hotel, under the influence of liquor.

Hannah greeted me saying, “ Good night.” I said, “Good night, Jim,” and shook hands. He also greeted Graham, asking him why he was not on strike.

Graham said, “It’s too late to go out now.” Hannah said, “It’s not too late – come out, and be a man.”

He then handed a pamphlet to each of us. We then left the hotel, and went over to the verandah of the Pier Hotel. Hannah came out of the Prince of Wales Hotel, and walked to a motor car, and it appeared that the driver was trying to get him into the car.

We then went into the Bay View Hotel. Accused followed. He again spoke of the strike. I walked out, followed

by Graham, and was only out a few seconds later when I heard a struggle.

IN THE

Going back I saw Graham on his back on the floor. Accused was kneeling over him with his thumb pressed into Graham’s neck. I remonstrated with him, telling him it would do his case no good.” He said, “You go to ––––. This is only a scab. I’m going to kill him.”

“I got him off, and he rushed at me.

After struggling with him Graham came to my assistance.”

“We took Hannah out of the hotel to a car. I asked if that was Hannah’s car.

The driver said yes. I told accused to go get in it, and go home, and we tried to get him in; but owing to his damaging the car the driver refused to take him, and drove away.

“Accused took up a fighting attitude, and we arrested him and took him to the watch-house, accused struggling all the way. Inside the police station gates he said he would go quietly, and was taken to the office. I opened the door and went inside, and led Hannah in. He was between us.

“Just as I was lighting the gas I heard a shot, saw a flash, and heard Graham fall. I asked Graham if he was hurt, he did not answer, and then, as I was stooping over Graham, I heard another shot, and felt a stinging pain in the back. I fell out of the office, and crawling round the side, leant against the wall. Accused walked past me, and said, ‘Do you want another, Jim.’ I answered ‘No,’ I’ve had enough.’ My wife rushed out with a candle, and, helped me in. I crawled over to Dr. Maxwell’s, and was taken to a hospital, where an operation was performed by Drs Maxwell and Le Souef.

“I was in uniform, and was wearing the overcoat and clothes produced, which showed bullet holes. I have known accused some time, and was

friendly with him.”

Questioned by the Crown Prosecutor: “How far was it from the motor car to the police station?”

“About a quarter of a mile.”

“Have you given all the material facts?”

“I have.”

James Alexander Graham, mounted constable, stationed at Frankston, sworn, said that the evidence given by the previous witness was true and correct, up to the time of leaving the Bay View Hotel, when Senior Constable Culhane went out.

Accused, who was very drunk, said to me, “Jimmy, you are a scab,” and catching hold of me threw me to the floor.

He got on top of me and pressed his thumb to my throat, saying, as he did so, “I will kill you; you are only a b— scab.” Culhane pulled him off. Witness corroborated the evidence leading up to the arrest, and said, “When we took accused into the office, I was behind him.

I saw a flash and heard a shot, and felt a stinging pain in my left shoulder. I fell to the floor. The flash came from the direction of the accused. I got up and went onto the path, and saw Culhane leaning against the wall. I then went into the street, and ran to the Bay View Hotel. While there someone opened my shirt, and a bullet fell out, similar to that produced at the time.

Dr. Maxwell, said “at about 12.30am on November 18 Mrs. Culhane called personally, and in consequence of what I was told, I went to the Bay View Hotel, and saw Graham. From what he told me I went to the police station, from thence to my surgery, where I saw Culhane staggering up the path. I assisted him in and examined him. I found he

was shot, and seriously injured.

I took him in a cab to a private hospital, where I further examined him, and found a wound above the left shoulder blade, bleeding freely.”

Questioned, the doctor said: “The wound could have been caused by a bullet. I had Culhane X-rayed on the 19th, and the bullet located. An operation was performed on Tuesday, and the bullet removed.”

Constable T. Nicholls, Mordialloc, said: “On 18th November, at about 4am, I was on the Mordialloc Bridge, I saw a car approaching me from the direction of Frankston, which I stopped, I said to accused, ‘What is your name?’

He said, ‘What is that to do with you?’

I replied, ‘I am a constable of police, stationed at Mordialloc, and I am looking for an ex-constable named Hannah, who is said to have shot two Frankston police.” I also said, “Are you Hannah?” Accused said, “No, my name is Brown.” I asked him what he was. He replied, “A labourer, out of employment,” I said to him, “Were you ever in the police force?” He said, “No,” and denied being at Frankston that night.” I asked him where he got the mark above his eye.” He said, “I was in a brawl at Chelsea.”

After further conversation I took him to the police station. I telephoned Frankston, and Detective Sergeant Armstrong and Constable Ryan, who later arrived, identified him as exConstable Hannah. He was searched, and the revolver produced was found in his possession containing three live cartridges and two empty shells. Detective Sergeant Armstrong informed the accused, in answer to his question, that he would be charged with shooting Culhane and Graham with intent to murder.

He was taken to MeIbourne by Detective Sergeant Armstrong.”

Allan Johnston, motor driver, gave evidence of the hiring of the car, and said accused appeared to have been drinking; and had drinks on the way to Frankston. “I pulled up near a hotel, and accused got out. Coming back he asked me to have a drink, and I refused.

Accused went back to the hotel, and after waiting for about 9 minutes I went to look for accused, and saw him with two policemen, one of which I can identify as Constable Graham. I saw the quarrelling, and came out and started the engine. I next saw accused with two policemen, who were trying to get him into the car. I refused to take him owing to his having done considerable damage to the car, and drove off.”

Detective Sergeant Armstrong, sworn, said: “That, in consequence of what I was told I went to Mordialloc Police Station, and saw accused.

Accused was taken to the City watchhouse, where a further search was made, and 10 live cartridges were found (produced). The two bullets (produced) were handed to me on November 21st by Constable Graham, and Dr. Maxwell, and have remained in my possession ever since.”

This closed the case for the Crown.

Accused, who pleaded not guilty, reserved his defence, and was committed to appear at the Criminal Sessions on December 10th.

Bail was allowed as before, Messrs.

Harold William Webb and John Esmond being accepted as bondsmen. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 5 & 7 Dec 1923

Finally, relief from your hip pain DOES this describe YOU? • You get hip pain laying on your side in bed, and just can’t get to sleep.

• You place a pillow between your legs to help you get to sleep but laying on the painful side is still waking you.

• You find yourself standing on one leg with your other hip hanging lower, or you sitting with crossed legs causes the pain • You are a runner worried your hip pain will get worse and stop you from exercising.

If so then read on.

The pain on the outside of the hip can be due to inflammation of the gluteal tendon, of Gluteus Medius and Minimus, where the gluteal muscles attach. It can also be where a bursa (a fat pad called the trochanteric bursa) can become inflamed. The hip pain may be associated with a stiff back.

Physiotherapist Brett Blanch-Hellyer, says that it is an injury affected by hip weakness and postural habits that place the tendons under stress. It requires a full analysis of the hip and lower limb, looking from the foot to the back biomechanics.

It can require massage, and specific strengthening exercises for the gluteal muscles as well as improving core stability to control pelvic movement.

In addition to the above solutions, there is a recent healing technology that is making a profound difference to outside of the hip pain sufferers.

Physiotherapist, Brett Blanch-Hellyer

Practice owner, Paul Rowson says “Shockwave Therapy is often useful, because the gluteal tendons are a connective tissue, not a muscle. It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to. It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area.

Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon.”

Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, golfer’s and tennis elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems,

and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries.

Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients.

Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance.

But for more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results.

“The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a success rate up to 90%” Brett says.

The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period

to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation” Brett says, “like most physio hands-on treatments, with a little discomfort during the treatment.”

Paul says, “After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain. The best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It prevents a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections.

The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and

cannot be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders. “ “It is important to know that Shockwave has a long-term effect.

Most of the time you have good outcomes, without having to have further treatments.”

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Hall v Oates: Writs on my List

By Stuart McCullough SAY it isn’t so. If further proof were needed that the world is hurtling towards hell in a handbasket, it comes in the form of news that one of pop music’s most enduring and beloved duos are locked in legal disputation. When news broke that Hall had sought and been granted a restraining order against Oates, I struggled to believe that it wasn’t some kind of cosmic hoax. No matter the circumstances, I felt in my bones that this kind of action wasn’t something that I, in good conscience, could support.

In fact, my exact words at the time were ‘No, I can’t go for that.’

If you don’t know who ‘Hall and Oates’ are, I can only say that you’re out of touch. Put simply, Hall and Oates are the greatest duo since sausage and sliced bread. Other musical duos can’t hold a candle to their catalogue of superior pop and soul.

The Captain and Tenille? Not even close. Chas and Dave? Don’t make me laugh. Hall and Oates are responsible for some of the most amazing music of the 1970s and 1980s. Their songs were part of the soundtrack to my childhood.

It’d make more sense if the restraining order was specific to John Oates’s moustache. Large and with a reputation for unprovoked violence, it was often feared that the moustache of John Oates might one day break free from captivity and seriously injure an unsuspecting Madonna fan. That’s why his ‘tache was often sedated and under armed guard. It was a safety thing. But as far as I can tell, the

restraining order is against John Oates in his entirety rather than confined to an errant piece of facial hair.

Details are scant and it’s difficult not to speculate. How did it come to this? I’ve been in lots of bands where my musical contributions might best be described as ‘negligible’ and my personality not so much an irritant as it was a source of ongoing and severe mental anguish, and yet none of my band mates ever saw the need to get a

restraining order. Frankly, I deserved one. It might even have taught me a lesson about the importance of harmonising vaguely in key and not blaming every atonal squawk that had the misfortune to escape my mouth as advanced jazz improvisation and something that real music lovers would ‘get’. John Oates was always in tune.

Some are born to pop stardom. Others have stardom thrust upon them.

The road to fame for Hall and Oates was littered with great music that was broadly ignored by the record-buying public. Their first album landed in 1973 – entitled ‘Whole Oats’, it was produced by Atlantic Records’ legendary producer, Arif Mardin and didn’t trouble the charts. That’s despite being some to some spectacular songs like ‘Fall in Philadelphia’, ‘Waterwheel’ and ‘Goodnight and Good morning’.

Their second album, ‘Abandoned Luncheonette’ fared little better, although was home to the song ‘She’s Gone’ which would go on to become a hit three years later after it was covered by someone else. Still, they stuck at it for one more record before parting ways with their label. It wasn’t until their fifth album that they started to get some serious traction with the song ‘Rich Girl’. But their moment truly arrived in the as one decade fell into the other. The eighties – or the first part of the eighties – was theirs. They had an ability to blend a disparate array of influences from soul, folk and rock into perfect slices of pop music. They stood astride the first half of the decade like a musical colossus, notching up hit after hit until, eventually, fashions changed and they fell out of style.

Hall and Oates were from Philadelphia. And Philadelphia is a very important city for our family as it’s my sister in law’s hometown. Suffice to say, ‘Go Eagles’. Before she married my brother, a group of us spent time in Philadelphia. More than just the city that witnessed the signing of

the Declaration of Independence and the steps to the Philadelphia Museum of Art that were once pounded into submission so memorably by Sylvester Stallone in ‘Rocky’, Philadelphia has a rich musical history. I was keen to experience it, first hand.

When I arrived, I was certain there would be a Hall and Oates museum.

I longed to go there. I imagined myself being thrilled by the big drum kit from the ‘Out of Touch’ video, or learning how to do the ‘shoulder shimmy’ dance so beautifully executed by Darryl in the video to ‘Maneater’. Perhaps they still had John Oates’ moustache in captivity.

But, sadly, there was no such place.

Bands aren’t commemorated with statues or museums. They just tour the nostalgia circuit.

That they’ve fallen out is bad enough. That the reason for their falling out is unknown is intolerable.

Luckily, I have family members in Philadelphia as we speak and I am assured they’re looking into it. Hopefully we get some answers soon.

When I first learned that Hall and Oates were in some kind of unspecified dispute, it felt like part of my childhood had died. It also made me go back to some of those glorious songs. Perhaps it’s just a misunderstanding. Maybe they’ll find a way to put their differences aside. I hope so.

If they do manage to get over it, it’d surely make my dreams come true. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Season 2024 officially kicks off with The Sunshine Club, a feel good 1940s Australian musical about an Aboriginal returned soldier who comes home to find some things haven’t changed. He decides to do something positive about it. The Visitors, a thought-provoking Aboriginal drama about one of the most impactful days in Australian history is sure to move its audience. Rounding out the theatre season is a jazzy new show called The Tap Pack that will have audiences snapping their fingers and tapping their feet to beats from the 1950s to the noughties.

Comedy fans will be laughing out loud

Painting a championship portrait SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BILLY Painting joined Rosebud last week hellbent on being part of the Olympic Park club’s title tilt next year.

“I’m not just here to make up the numbers – I’m here to win the league,” Painting said.

“And from what I hear that seems to be the mentality of everyone down there.”

Painting’s switch ended a sevenyear stint at Skye United and the 28-year-old central defender is hoping the move reignites his passion for football.

“I really needed a new challenge because I’d fallen out of love with the game,” he said.

“I don’t really know why.

“I just knew that I needed a change but leaving Skye was a very hard thing to do.

“I spoke to a few players at Skye’s presentation and while I didn’t really get the chance to say goodbye I’ll be down there watching them next year whenever I get the chance.”

English-born Painting arrived in Melbourne in 2008 and played with a host of clubs – Berwick City, Croydon, Box Hill, Bentleigh Greens, Langwarrin, Casey Comets and Seaford United – before arriving at Skye Recreation Reserve.

Ironically the initial link with Rosebud came through Skye assistant coach Peter Natsis who had applied for the then vacant coaching role in September and Painting was one of four players he intended bringing with him.

Although Natsis ended his interest in the job Rosebud keeper Colin McCormack knew Painting well and played a significant role in convincing him to make the move.

And no-one at Olympic Park was more delighted than new head coach Stuart Johnson who was glowing in his praise of the experienced defender.

“Billy is such a lovely footballer, really graceful and I like that in a defender,” Johnston said.

“We’ve also signed Jhai Watts who is a midfielder with a really good engine and he can also fill-in as a central defender.

“Having a spine with Colin, Billy and Jhai with a couple more to come in we’ll have experience there which is really important.”

Watts has played in Melbourne’s north-west at State 4 and State 5 levels with Lara and Bell Park.

’Buds new boy: Billy Painting in action for Skye United.

The big defender has joined Rosebud.

Picture: Gemma Sliz

Another newcomer is midfielder Frank Barrett who has been involved with one of Plymouth Argyle’s development centres.

However Johnson concedes that there are players who have indicated that they could look elsewhere and two of those are young striker Noah Musso and experienced defender Dougie Cunnison.

Musso had a breakout senior season this year winning State 5 South’s best and fairest and Golden Boot awards while Cunnison is a former Keilor Park captain.

“Noah definitely falls into the category of ‘what does the future hold for me’ and I don’t know what he’ll do at the end of the day,” Johnson added.

“Whether or not we sign Dougie is an ongoing conversation but signing someone like Billy gives us an alternative in that space immediately.”

In NPL2 news Langwarrin’s first pre-season hit-out resulted in a 4-3 away loss to Manningham United

Blues at Petty’s Reserve on Friday night.

West Australian striker Joe O’Brien, Archie Macphee and Jacob Brito scored for Langy and head coach Jamie Skelly was pleased with the display.

“It was good to get 45 minutes into all the players, there were some good passages of play and an opportunity for some younger players to test themselves against a good quality team,” Skelly said.

“There’s still likely to be two or three more key signings as we are looking to strengthen in all areas of the pitch.”

In State 3 news Frankston Pines made the deadline last week for payment of part of its annual fees to Football Victoria.

The governing body recently announced that member clubs owed nearly $2 million in unpaid fees and threatened to kick clubs out of State League if a significant part of their debt

wasn’t settled by the end of November.

FV is expected to name Pines in an updated list of financially compliant clubs shortly.

The major makeover of Pines’ squad continues under new coach Donn Delaney and assistant Trevor Johnston.

The bulk of the newcomers are from Peninsula Strikers, Delaney’s old stomping ground, but he’s also got players at training from a range of clubs including Mazenod and Mount Eliza.

An under-16 group from State 4 neighbour Chelsea also is training at Monterey.

“We’re looking okay and we’ll get better as we definitely have some quality boys there,” Delaney said.

A core group of players have left but that was anticipated and played an important role in Delaney being hired.

“Well that was part of the process

wasn’t it,” Delaney added.

“We wanted a restart and to get some youth into the group and that is what we are doing.”

The departures include captain Ryan Ratcliffe, Joey O’Connor and Dylan Waugh while a number of players are undecided about whether or not to stay.

Ratcliffe is a former Malvern City captain and joined Pines from Tasmanian club Launceston United for the 2022 season.

“I was really disappointed that we went down this year,” Ratcliffe said.

“If we had kept the team that got us up from State 3 I have no doubts that we would have done really well in State 2.

“But now there’s a new coach, a new environment so maybe it’s for the best that a core group has moved on.

“I haven’t spoken to a lot of the boys to be honest as I left the (Facebook) group chat about three weeks ago.

“When Donn got the job I had it confirmed by other players not the club and when I got a text from Donn I told him I was going to look elsewhere.”

Relegation back to State 3 hit Ratcliffe hard but he hopes the club recovers quickly.

“As the captain I took responsibility for the relegation.

“Someone had to do that and I put my hand up.

“They are trying to go down a different path now so I wish them well and I hope that a new fresh approach works for them.”

O’Connor joined Pines from Casey Comets five years ago.

Like Ratcliffe he was a walk-up start whenever available and is a major loss.

He’s training with Brandon Park.

Waugh will have arthroscopic hip surgery on Thursday and will wait on the outcome before deciding where he’ll play next year.

“Essentially I have to get the hip joint cleaned out and part of the hip bones shaved off as they have been rubbing and causing damage for years.

“The surgeon will advise me as to whether or not I can keep playing and if I do decide to play on I think I’ll drop down a league or two.”

The departed players will have no shortage of suitors and already local clubs in State 2 and State 4 have shown interest.

Christmas GIFT GUIDE 2023 RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donder and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all

We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, And a Happy New Year.

Good tidings to you, And all of your kin, Good tidings for Christmas, And a Happy New Year.

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw it you would even say it glows.

We all know that Santa’s coming, We all know that Santa’s coming, We all know that Santa’s coming, And soon will be here.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games.

Good tidings to you, And all of your kin, Good tidings for Christmas, And a Happy New Year.

Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, And a Happy New Year

Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas GIFT GUIDE 2023 HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’ angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.”

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ, by highest heav’n adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the favored one.

Veil’d in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail, th’incarnate Deity: Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail! the heav’n born Prince of peace!

Hail! the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
