Joe Camilleri and the Black Sorrows headline bumper Australia Day music line-up MUSIC lovers attending this year’s Australia Day celebrations will be treated to a bumper line-up of free live entertainment across the peninsula. Headline act Joe Camilleri and the Black Sorrows will get the Mornington crowd grooving along to their blues and roots classics when they take to the main stage from 8pm.

Also performing at Mornington is Darren Middleton, best known for his work as lead guitarist and songwriter for Australian rock band Powderfinger. Bec and Dave Campbell (Dave of Captain Spalding) will entertain the audience at Mount Eliza with their set of classic dance tunes, swing favourites and the very best music of today.

By the Pier is the place to be in Dromana, with local legends The Warrains heading up a huge day of live and local entertainment, including the famous pianist Andrew Farrell (aka The Wizard), all-female a cappella group Ling Marra and renowned Australian performers Lisa Edwards and Michael Christian.

After kicking things off at Mornington Park, soul maestros The Jerome Smith Band will head south to entertain the crowds at Rye, where they will be joined by rocking blues musician James Southwell and Australian Blues Foundation ‘Hall of Fame’ inductees, Kevin Borich Express.

Celebrations at Rosebud Village Green will start with the dreamy sounds of Cape Schanck brother-sister duo Luck-Louise performing on the soundshell main stage, followed by Bendigo folk duo Deer Prudence and Melbourne blue-

grass/gypsy band Scrimshaw Four. Down at the ‘pointy end’, legendary peninsula rockers Munster Terrace and Cruizin’ will return to Sorrento RSL for yet another Australia Day of funky fun live tunes.

With all of this and so much more on offer, there really is something for the whole family to enjoy on the peninsula this Australia Day. For full details of all events, phone 1300 850 600 or go to www. mornpen.vic.gov.au/australiaday

Middleton comes to Mornington

By Melissa Walsh THIS Australia Day, Mornington will experience the incredible talents of Darren Middleton, best known for his contributions to the legacy of Australian music as the guitarist in iconic Brisbane band Powderfinger who took the nation by storm dominating the Australian charts from their humble beginnings in 1992, right up until their disbanding in 2010. Middleton will grace the Mornington stage with violinist Kelly Lane from Skipping Girl Vinegar, belting out a selection of tunes.

“I am really looking forward to hitting the peninsula as I haven’t been there for quite some time,” says Middleton, who has previously visited Sorrento. “I love doing smaller gigs now I have stepped into my solo career as they are so different from my Powderfinger days.”

Middleton has recently released his album Splinters, a follow up to his 2013 full length debut solo album Translations.

With each new song on the new album, Darren sheds a splinter of his soul, carving unique stories that join together in creating a solid body of work that has as much depth as the strongest of heartwood. The album is relatable and touches on many themes and relationships; the relationship we have with our inner self, friends, lovers, in business, the world and society.

“All of our life is a relationship, an ever evolving and changing landscape of security, safety, hurdles, loss and discovery and both with Translations and Splinters, I am basically looking at my journey so far and laying it bare in songs,” says Middleton. “When I write now it is like I have zoomed in and taken a snapshot of my own personal existence. It is a great time in my life to be able to play this music to smaller audiences in more intimate settings.”

Middleton will be playing a range of songs from albums, old band stuff and possibly some covers on Australia Day. “I don’t have set list, just see how we feel at the time and the feel of the audience,” says Middleton.

MORNINGTON ART SHOW

STILL GOING STRONG AFTER 44 YEARS THE News Mornington Art Show has established itself as the biggest and best quality Art Show on the Mornington Peninsula and one of the best in Victoria according to the comments of various show judges.

The 44th annual Mornington Art show runs for six days from Thursday 21 January until Tuesday 26 January.

As a change from recent years, opening night will be on the Thursday before Australia Day and will have a gala party atmosphere. Gourmet finger food will be served by waitresses and waiters and refreshments will be available from the bar area.

Music will punctuate the evening and feature artists will mingle with guests.

Feature artists this year are Jayne Henderson and nationally acclaimed local artist Eric Shepherd.

Art show judge and widely recognised pastel artist Lyn Mellady will also exhibit some of her work There will be more than 800 paintings for sale created in a range of media.

“The great attraction of the Mornington

art show is the wide variety of art genre from local and interstate artists employing a wide range of media”, art show director Rotarian John Renowden said.

“The range of original works available at prices from a couple of hundred dollars to several thousand dollars is most extensive.”

Opening night tickets are available online at www./mornington artshow.com. au or from Farrells Bookstore, corner Main and Barkly streets, Mornington.

“We aim to maintain the tradition of presenting a high quality art show with a wide range of exhibits from local and interstate artists at a range of prices to suit all purchasers,” said Mr Renowden.

All profits from the art show help finance a range of community and international projects of the Mornington Rotary Club.

The News Mornington Art Show is at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington, Thursday 21 January until Australia Day, Tuesday 26 January.

“Sunflowers” by Feature Artist Eric Shepherd

STUDENT ART ON DISPLAY ART from VCE students attending Toorak College, Mornington Secondary College and Balcombe Grammar will again be on display at The News Mornington Art Show. These “artists of the future” are a popular attraction at the show.

Student art sees photography, painting and various material constructions employed by students as their expressive form.

Some of the works chosen for this year’s display were also selected to represent their schools for consideration for Victoria’s “Top Arts” display assembled from Victorian Secondary schools. It is noted that last year’s winner of our student art show award, Lauren De Ryke had her work selected as a Top Arts piece and it now hangs in the Deputy Premiers office.

The student art work for this year is varied and demonstrates a wide range of art forms.

Alexandra (pictured) from Toorak College explores the impact of globalization on the natural world. Her work laments the destruction of forests in order to build cities and industrialise our world. She writes,“ My sculpture creates a discussion between why we continue to cut down and destroy nature when we know we are polluting the world.”

SIX DAYS ONLY THERE are two significant changes in relation to this year’s The News Mornington Art show.

Firstly, the art show will run for six days from 21 January to 26 January. This is a few days shorter than in previous years. “Aiming to finish on Australia Day, we found our show kept getting a day longer as the 26th of January moved through the week. Hence we decided to run for six days from 21 January,” art show director John Renowden said.

Secondly, the art show will open on Thursday evening 21 January rather than the usual Friday night. “It was decided that this would be better because of the Australia day weekend which may see some of our patrons away for the weekend,” Mr Renowden said.

The opening will start at 7pm and the show will open 10am-5pm daily.

“Opening night will be a social highlight with good food, good refreshments, good music and good company in a fun filled party atmosphere.

BMW Mornington will have the latest vehicle on display with a delightful prize for an opening night visitor.”

More than 800 paintings have been selected for the show with a wide range of styles and media on display. Prices range from $150 to over $4000. “The quality is excellent and will provide a visual array of original art as if three or four galleries had combined. Artists are local, Victorian and from interstate,” Mr Renowden said.

“Whether you come to opening night ore during the days of this show the Rotary Club of Mornington organizers are confident that you will find it well worth a visit.”

Jazz from the Balnarring Bakery Jazz Trio will be featured on the opening night of the Art Show, Thursday 21 January at 7pm.

The music in the foyer of the hall, from these skilled musicians, will compliment the evening and will be bright and cheerful without being too intrusive.

Gourmet food and refreshments will be served during the evening and a lucky door prize will be selected from those in attendance. Opening night sponsor AMCLA Medical invites all connected with the medical field to attend.

As one of the largest and best quality Art Shows in Victoria, there will be over 800 paintings on display from all artistic genres and from a wide range of media.

FEATURE ARTISTS AND ART SHOW JUDGE TWO exceptional feature artists will exhibit several pieces of their work at this year’s art show.Jayne Henderson features serene seascapes around the Mornington Peninsula and wildlife artist Eric Shepherd will have several Australian bird studies and big cats on display.

Jayne Henderson is a popular artist who captures local peninsula scenes magnificently. Her treatment of rugged cliff faces and inviting blue waters of the bay are visual reminders of the beauty of the Mornington Peninsula.

Jayne has supported the Mornington Art Show for many years.

Her work has received awards from a range of judges and is quickly selected by astute buyers. Her work is realistically and affordably priced for those seeking an original art piece for homes or office.

Eric Shepherd came to Australia from England in 1980 and has es-

tablished himself as one of Australia’s leading wildlife artists. His birdlife is featured on the popular Maxwell and William’s range of china mugs and related tableware.

His paintings can also be seen on calendars, greeting cards and limited edition prints.

Eric’s work ranges from wildlife portraits of animals and birds through to contemporary landscapes and nudes. He works in oils, acrylics and watercolours and effectively brings his subjects to life. The work of Eric Shepherd will clearly be a visual highlight of the 44th Mornington Art Show.

Purchases will have to be quick to purchase these pieces as they are usually most popular.

Pastel artist of high acclaim Lyn Mellady, who is our Art Show judge, will also have a few pieces of her art for sale. Lyn is a pastel artist of international repute.

Born in Quirindi, NSW, about six decades ago, Lyn trained as a Primary School Teacher and has enjoyed teaching ballet. In 1981 she became a full time artist and travelled extensively around Eastern Australia painting what she describes as “the untamed, but fragile beauty of our rivers, beaches and forests”.

Lyn’s preferred medium is pastel but since 1984 she has received many awards for both pastel and oil.

She was a finalist in the International Pastel Landscape Excellence Awards 2001 and she appears in several art reference books. Lyn is an outstanding exponent of the soft pastel medium.

Lyn Mellady (right)has been selected for inclusion in a publication of “The World’s Best Charcoal/Pastel Artists” and has also been featured on-line as one of the world’s best 13 seascape artists.

BARREL ART ON DISPLAY ON opening night there will be a display of Barrel art designs ...beautiful rustic furniture and platters etc made from the oak timber from recycled wine barrels. These are available for purchase and great for entertaining and for outdoor settings.

The concept of creating quality furniture from used wine barrels is a creative initiative of Frankston based furniture maker Carl Smith.

After completing school and

PAGE F

Mornington News 19 January 2016

working in the construction industry for over a decade Carl decided on a career change relating to his passion for working with wood.

He formed Barrel Art Designs and over the last two or three years he has developed the concept with over 40 designs now in his product range.

From simple wine glass and bottle holders, serving boards and clocks through to tables, bar stools, wine racks and the popular range of ‘loafer chairs’ Carl’s de-

signs has a timeless rustic appeal.

Mostly made from oak timber the products are strong and durable.

Carl has regular stalls at Red Hill, Mornington and Yarra Glen craft markets and his work can also be found in selected galleries and art shows.

The work of this young designer/ furniture maker will be featured on stage at the Mornington Art Show for your observation or purchase.

Harbour tests junior sailors MORNINGTON Yacht Club juniors enjoyed the scenery – but not the wild weather – at the recent Laser, 420 and Optimist class championships in Sydney.

Races were held at Newcastle, Sandringham (NSW), Rose Bay, Botany Bay and on Sydney Harbour, with Rear Commodore Chris Jackson saying the wet, windy days had posed “a big challenge� for the young group. “They have certainly learnt heaps, and return much more experienced.�

The Optimists, especially, copped a beating on Botany Bay. “During the first few days there were gusts over 25 knots and over 100mm of rain,� Mr Jackson said. “Visibility was so poor that a support boat had to turn on its powerful lights to show the finish line. The kids got much better at avoiding spectacular nose dives and capsizing on the run. “Sailing at the end of Kingsford Smith runway was also interesting. On the last day three Optimists were laid flat as a 747 flew low overhead.�

Waste threatens carbon neutrality David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au LAWYERS and an internal governance team helped draw up a newspaper advertisement which appears to contradict a Mornington Peninsula Council decision to close Rye tip by 30 June, 2018.

The advertisement, published on 28 October, stated that the shire was “strongly considering� closing the site – certainly not an accurate reflection of the councillors’ decision.

Without closing the tip and exporting its waste off the peninsula the shire

will almost certainly be unable to meet its aim of being “carbon neutral�.

Keeping its waste on the peninsula could also be embarrassing in the wake of the shire being named as one of two Australian municipalities to sign an international Compact of Mayors for its efforts in minimising climate change.

The official explanation for the nonspecific wording of the advertisement states that “strongly considering� closing the tip was consistent with the status of the council’s resolution when advertising for expressions of interest by waste carriers. “This wording was agreed on as it provided the market confidence that

the council was in a position to proceed to contract, contingent on the outcome of the EOI [expression of interest] process as specified in the council recommendation,� renewable resources team leader Jess Wingad said.

The decision to close Rye tip was overturned at council’s 14 December meeting with a 5-4 vote to retain the tip pending an alternative waste technology solution and to investigate dumping waste at Tyabb.

But that decision may not stand beyond this year’s first meeting on 27 January, when councillors will debate a motion to rescind the 14 December decision, which threw into disarray the

shire policy to achieve carbon neutrality as quickly as possible.

Retaining shire waste on the peninsula at Tyabb will make it virtually impossible to achieve carbon neutrality.

The gist of discussion at the first meeting was to move waste away from the shire. The phrase “off the peninsula� appeared six times in the officer’s report presented to that meeting.

The October advertisement did not mention this. Ms Wingad: “The requirement to dispose of waste ‘off the Peninsula’ is implied through the resolution as there are no other licenced [sic] landfills on the Mornington Peninsula that can take municipal waste.�

The advertisement does not mention the requirement to move waste off the peninsula, stating only that “provision of a landfill� would be required “for the receipt and disposal of municipal waste�.

Ms Wingad accompanied the mayor Cr Graham Pittock and Cr Hugh Fraser as part of the shire’s delegation to the the Paris climate talks in December.

The shire said Ms Wingad was at the talks to “learn the latest global trends and their potential application locally�.

Ratepayers bore the estimated $18,000 cost for the three. The two councillors say they will repay any expenditure over the $16,000 they are allowed each four-year term.

Owners thrilled with Magic Millions run Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ALTHOUGH he didn’t win the Magic Millions 2-year-old Classic on the Gold Coast, the nine local owners couldn’t be happier with Mornington horse Claro El Banco.

In only his fourth race – and third since winning the Magic Millions Clockwise Classic over 1000 metres at Ballarat in November – the gelding came eighth in a field of 16, earning $10,000 prizemoney.

“He ran well considering the barrier draw – number 17 – and didn’t lose ground,” said part-owner Peter Seaman, of Somerville, who attended the $2.5 million race Saturday last week.

“We are all very proud of him and loved the whole Magic Millions experience. It was fantastic just being there: where else could you be enjoying champagne with [the Queen’s grandchild] Zara Phillips and [businessman] Gerry Harvey at the barrier draw?”

Big prizemoney added to the thrill of the race in what were described as challenging conditions. The winner, Capitalist, received $1.2 million, second placed Nikitas $370,000, third-placed Candika $180,000, fourth $90,000 fifth $50,000 and all the others $10,000.

Claro El Banco seemed to feel right at home, with Mornington trainer Jason Petch saying his charge had “thrived” in the two-week lead-up to the feature race on Saturday 9 January, despite tiring late to finish seventh in the Wyong Magic Millions Classic

over 1100 metres on the way there.

“A lot of horses can come up to this warmer climate and they can thrive and he now looks like a piece of shiny copper – his coat is magnificent,” he told Racing News before the race.

Another part-owner, Roy Farrell, of Mornington, said Claro El Banco was one of two Victorian horses in the race – the other guided by well-known trainer David Hayes. “He ran a tremen-

dous race and the jockey, Glyn Schofield’s, report afterwards was glowing.

“We are only a group of small-time owners and lovers of racing. We have now doubled our outlay in prizemoney, and it is an absolute thrill to even get this far.”

The nine owners paid $80,000 for the horse which won $155,000 at Ballarat in November – allowing him entry to the Magic Millions – and $10,000 last week.

He’ll now have a well-earned rest at Beaudesert, near Brisbane, before contesting some of the big autumn races in Melbourne.

Mr Seaman said Claro El Banco could race at the Gold Coast again as a three and four year old. “He has a bright future up there,” he said. “And he likes running the wrong way (clockwise, as in NSW, and not counterclockwise, as in Victoria).

The owners paid tribute to smalltime trainer Petch, who was still driving home along the east coast last week. “He really puts in,” Mr Seaman said.

“My heart goes out to him. We get messages daily; he had a two-to-threeweek plan for the race and he organised track riders beforehand.

“He’s really done the right thing by us.”

Sailors battle competitors, wild weather JUNIOR sailors from Mornington Yacht Club weathered the worst of the storms in NSW during the recent Laser, 420 and Optimist class championships.

The club had 15 Optimist sailors competing, eight 420 sailors and two Laser sailors, with around 30 parents and six siblings accompanying them and offering support. Coaches were Mel Hitchen-Haw, Johnny Rodgers and Bunny Warren.

Laser sailors Rhett and Tyrone Gowans competed in the Gold fleet at the Belmont 16ft Sailing Club, Newcastle, with Rhett, sailing Rhett's Rig, coming sixth and Tyrone, sailing Tubby, coming 29th out of 92 competitors.

Mornington sailors Stan Austin and Kristian Tipvsky came 14th out of 34 competitors in the 420s at Woollahra Sailing Club, Rose Bay. Sophie Jackson and Ella Sharman came 15th and Caroline Brown and Jack Purcell 21st.

The Victorian International 420 team won the 2016 state championships.

Matilda Richardson and Jazzy Evenden made it into Gold fleet at the Australian National Optimist Championships at the Georges River Sailing Club, Sandringham NSW. Lily Richardson bounced back from a tough qualifying series to place sixth in silver and John Faulkner sailed to a good ninth.

MYC Rear Commodore Chris Jackson said the junior sailors had a huge seven days of sailing in the Optimists class on Botany Bay. “During the first few days the weather was atrocious with gusts over 25 knots and over 100mm of rain,” he said. “Visibility was so poor that a

support boat had to turn on its powerful lights to show the finish line.

“The kids got much better at avoiding spectacular nose dives and capsizing on the run.

“Sailing at the end of Kingsford Smith runway was also interesting. On the last day three Optimists were laid flat as a 747 flew low overhead.

“Needless to say, the week was a big challenge for the young group. They

have certainly learnt heaps, and return much more experienced.”

Fifteen Optimists sailed in the three fleets, with most in Open fleet. The qualifying series was sailed in heavy, wet conditions, but then the final series was in lighter conditions, meaning the lighter kids who had a tough few days came back stronger at the end, Mr Jackson said.

Art, summer and the spirit of things IT’S summertime: a time to experience the beach, the sea and the bush on the Mornington Peninsula. And, this summer, Lamppost Gallery, Mt Eliza, offers another way to connect with the Australian landscape.

It’s Still Life is an exhibition of sculptures by artist, writer, TV producer and actor Nathan King, whose art explores states of being in the natural world. A leaf becomes a skeleton and a sea anemone becomes a shellcasing …

Following these shifts and changes in natural forms, King’s work explores nature, its diversity and transience. Discarded, fallen and forgotten remnants of nature are salvaged and assembled into sculptural forms to accentuate the connections, reflections and relationships of each thing to everything else.

The shape, colour, form and movement in one object is found reflected in another, as if they are related and yet they may be a rock, twig, seed pod, or a shell. When assembled together, the interconnectivity in nature becomes clear.

“I create these sculptures to elevate nature in our eyes,” King said.

“The spirit of being is expressed in such a variety of manifestations that there is a certain sense of wonder for me. I think that we can all too easily forget that sense of awe and wonder as we live in our urbanised, contemporary world.

“A lot of art reflects our own clever abilities and skills in rendering the natural world in one medium or another. We risk losing our connection to the spirit and energies of the natural

Elevating nature: Nathan King’s works connect with the landscape.

world in our rush to impress our own capabilities.

“These remnants and objects have a history of being – they are not what they once were, their present state is merely a reflection of their original form. Of course, they haven’t stopped ‘being’ – the spirit of their existence has just shape-shifted into another form.

“This is a reminder to us about the changing nature of existence. Neither is better than the other – it’s just a different state of existence. These sculptures remind me that that is so.”

King was brought up in London and knew nothing of the natural world until he discovered the “wondrous Austral-

ian landscape”.

“I have never lost that profound sense of shift and change it brought into my worldview and my life,” he said. “It dramatically shifted my sense of self. I would like to impart something of that understanding to others through my artwork.”

It’s Still Life opens 7-9pm, Friday 5 February, at Lamppost Gallery in the foyer of St James the Less Church, corner Nepean Highway and Koetong Pde, Mt Eliza. It runs until 28 February. Gallery hours are noon-4pm Wednesday to Sunday.

BUY DIRECT Rescuers fly high & SAVE! for safety’s sake Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SURF rescue helicopters are patrolling peninsula beaches daily to keep a look out for sharks, rips and people in distress in the water this summer.

Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett said the helicopter rescue service, run by Life Saving Victoria, had already completed 50 patrols along Victoria’s coastline this summer.

“Rips are dangerous and unpredictable. Have a plan, check for warning signs and know what you're going to do if you or your kids get caught in a rip,” Ms Garrett said.

Life Saving Victoria says it is almost certain at least one person will drown on peninsula beaches this summer. Five people drowned here in the 2014-15 financial year, which represents 13 per cent of the 39 drownings across Victoria. In the 10-year period 2004-14, 41 people drowned on the peninsula and 115 were taken to hospital after almost drowning.

Westpac lifesaver rescue helicopters have responded to 250 emergencies since the summer of 2009-10, including five incidents in the first week of this year alone.

Two crews will scan the water looking for people in distress, boating accidents, rip currents and marine life, such as sharks. They will patrol the coastline from Waratah Bay in South Gippsland to Apollo Bay in south-western Victoria.

Pilots will alert lifeguards on the ground and

sound sirens from the air if they spot sharks swimming close to beaches.

Their role is becoming increasingly relevant with more people getting into trouble in the water. Many are unaware of the dangers of rips and currents. A Hampton Park man was saved from drowning at Blairgowrie’s Koonya surf beach, Christmas Eve. Three bystanders braved the surf for two hours to rescue the man who had drifted 500 metres out to sea. The 56-year-old was barely breathing and having difficulty staying afloat.

A man and a woman died last week in The Alfred hospital after getting into trouble at Woolamai beach, Phillip Island, Sunday 10 January.

They were among a group of seven family and work colleagues who got into trouble in waistdeep water, 7.30pm. The sandbank on which they were standing gave way and rips pulled them out of their depth, they said.

Fortunately for the others, surfers and off-duty lifesavers were on hand to pull them from the water, perform CPR, and call emergency services.

The surf rescue choppers can also support search-and-rescue operations for missing swimmers and boats, winch people to safety, and respond to distress signals sent by fishermen and others who find themselves in trouble on the water.

Patrols will run daily until Australia Day – when thousands of holidaymakers head to Victoria’s beaches and coastal towns. It will then run weekends and public holidays until Easter.

FANTASTIC DEALS ON ALL ROLLER BLINDS

Taking a jog for memory UP to 300 people are expected to participate in Alzheimer’s Australia’s memory walk and jog at Point Nepean National Park, Sunday 24 January.

The fundraising event is part of Alzheimer’s Australia’s efforts to raise awareness about dementia across Victoria.

They estimate that 3240 of the state’s 81,000 people with dementia live on the Mornington Peninsula. Without a medical breakthrough that figure is predicted to rise to 10,153 people by 2050.

The memory walk and Jog starts at the Quarantine Station with a 7 kilometre run at 8am, and 3.5km walk and 3.5km run at 9.30am. The event finishes at 11am.

The idea of holding a memory walk and jog started in Homebush NSW and has grown, with events held late last year at Geelong and Bendigo.

Other events are planned early this year at Doncaster and Albury Wodonga.

Alzheimer’s Australia hopes to raise $50,000 through the event at Point Nepean.

“Many participants walk in memory of loved ones who have died from dementia and for those living with a diagnosis,” spokesperson Christine Bolt said.

Shire invites financial advice BUSINESSES and members of the community have been invited to provide feedback on an economic strategy for the Mornington Peninsula.

The shire’s Draft Economic Development Strategy 2016-19 – designed in consultation with the local businesses – outlines key activities aimed at supporting economic, business and employment growth throughout the region.

The strategy lists seven primary focus areas which have been identified to help established industries grow and to enhance emerging sectors while supporting business and workforce growth and resilience.

Strategic industry sectors, such as tourism, food, health and niche manufacturing, form a key focus of the strategy, as do townships, the Port of Hastings and growth in business and workforce capacity.

Within each of these sectors are “signature” projects, with key initiatives designed to support businesses in improving productivity and capability.

The primary focus areas and key initiatives were determined in line with a set of guiding principles, resulting in a strategy that builds on economic strengths, is consistent with local values, creates growth opportunities for established and emerging industries, and is evidence-based, shire officers say.

The mayor, Cr Graham Pittock, said the strategy aimed to set council priorities to support business growth and increase job opportunities across the peninsula.

Missing soldiers AMATEUR historian Lambis Englezos will speak about finding the missing soldiers from Fromelles at a talk at Sorrento Museum, 8pm, Friday 5 February.

On 19 July 1916 the Fifth Australian Division was involved in “a terrible battle” near the French village of Fromelles. Almost 2000 men died.

After doing his research, Mr Englezos was shocked by the futility of this action and by the number of casualties. He then found a discrepancy between the number of men listed as missing and the number of unidentified soldiers in nearby cemeteries.

Mr Lambis met some of the survivors of Fromelles – the so called “19th July men” – and visited the site in 2002 to search for the missing men.

In his talk Mr Lambis will describe his long and determined journey to discover the answers, despite frustration by authorities and red tape.

People power sought to rescue stalled museum Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE future of the estimated $25 million Victorian Maritime Centre at Hastings now rests on harnessing “people power”.

A petition calling for government support and a public meeting planned for either February or March are both are seen as crucial to enlisting widespread support from the community, particularly in its hometown of Hastings.

However, the two vessels at the heart of the project – the 2030 tonne submarine Otama and former Port Phillip Sea Pilots ship Wyuna - languish at anchor, both unable to find a permanent berth.

The Otama has been at Crib Point for 12 years and needs $50,000 spent on its moorings by May while the Wyuna is at Bell Bay, Tasmania, after Melbourne City Council said it was unable to provide a berth at Docklands.

The Western Port Oberon Association which plans to use both vessels as the main drawcards and income generators of maritime centre is running low on funds after spending money in the erroneous belief that it would receive $1 million from the state government, no matter which party won the November 2015 election. The money was promised

by Liberal Hastings MP Neale Burgess but, unfortunately for the Otama association, his commitment was not part of the Labor Party platform. Mr Burgess was re-elected but his party was not.

Federal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt re-

mains a staunch supporter of the maritime centre and this year acknowledged the dedication of some of the association’s members by presenting them with his own “Flinders Awards”.

Meanwhile the association’s two vessels remain tied up by bureaucractic and financial problems.

The Otama was in trouble from the start of its arrival in late April 2003 when the association’s plans to bring it ashore at Hastings were not supported by government departments which controlled the foreshore.

The association’s president Max Bryant believes the lack of a berth for the Wyuna may have more to do with the government’s intended sale of the Port of Melbourne than space around Melbourne’s wharves.

The woes of the association are clearly stated by Mr Bryant in its December 2015 SubScriber newsletter.

Mr Bryant begins his end of year report by explaining its lateness because of a declining membership (about 130) and “we do not have enough people to tackle all the tasks”.

He says membership fees ($50 a family including joining fee and then $25 a year) will “help preserve our maritime history”.

“The biggest low of the year was our so called million dollar grant prior to the last election. All were ecstatic when we learned we had successfully secured this grant which was supposedly not subject to the election.

On the pretence of receiving the grant funds were expended only to discover after the election the funds did not exist,” Mr Bryant

stated.

Using figures from a 2004 “Macroplan” by a now former Mornington Peninsula Shire executive, Mr Bryant said “the community has lost $63.7 million dollars in revenue thus far and no one appears to be accountable”.

That 12-year-old report - which was not commissioned by the shire - estimated the maritime centre would employ 40 people, have 50,000 visitors a year and have an income of $4.5 million.

Mr Bryant told The News last Monday week that the shire is “100 per cent behind the project, there’s no doubt about that”.

“We’ve now got to convince the politicians and get the people behind us,” he said.

He said “a lot of people, some very important people, are coming to our aid”.

“I hope we’ll have a breakthrough in the near future,” Mr Bryant said.

He said the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) was “aboard” and backing the project.

The Otama is proposed to be lifted out of the water on the outer seawall of the Hastings marina while the Wyuna would have a wet berth alongside.

Visitors would access both vessels through the maritime centre, with the Wyuna being used as a shore-based school camp.

When advocating for the maritime centre at Hastings, Mr Bryant cites the success of the $24 million West Australian Maritime Museum which opened in December 2002.

He says there are now maritime museums at Freemantle, Geraldton and Albany.

Marine history all at sea

All tied up: The Wyuna, top, has been refitted and made seaworthy to be brought from Tasmania to Victoria but there is no berth available. The submarine Otama, left, is already in Western Port but unable to be brought ashore at Hastings because of a mixture of red tape, planning rules and lack of money. The two vessels are the planned centrepiece of the Victorian Maritime Centre.

THE two vessels integral to the success of Victorian Maritime Centre being built at Hastings are in trouble.

The Otama, an Oberon class submarine, is anchored off Crib Point and needs new mooring cables by May if it is to survive winter storms. Cost of the cables is put at $50,000.

The other vessel owned by the Western Port Oberon Association, the Wyuna, was built in 1953 and donated to the association in 2013.

Although extensively refitted and undergoing sea trials she remains in Tasmania because there is no berth available in Melbourne.

Association president Mx Bryant said the Wyuna is a classic 20th century design and spent 26 years with the Port Phillip Sea Pilots before being used as a training ship for the Australian Maritime College in Launceston until 2004.

Several other plans for the use of the Wyuna fell through until it was given to the association which wants to use it as a school camp.

In his end of year report Mr Bryant sees the latest instalment in the Wyuna’s history as a “sorry tale … laying at anchor unattended in Bell Bay where Tasports dumped her”.

Mr Bryant said the Wyuna was partly restored and then “ran beautifully at over 14 knots downriver to Beauty Point … {before] completing sea trails”.

“During this period the berth in Melbourne at Docklands disappeared due to proposed wharf renovations being brought forward

by Melbourne City Council. We ended up stranded; thankfully Tasports came to our aid and allowed us to stay alongside at Inspection Head. The Tasports management at that time thankfully were aware of our financial situation and after initially issuing a berth notice of a fee of $442 a day agreed to waive

Trading in trash

the fee and we pay for power consumption only.

“The very day the harbourmaster retired the original notice was reinstated without any warning and back dated. We had budgeted for the cost of the power not the berthing fee.

Tasports also had wharf renovations being carried out at the berth so we had a limited tenure at Inspection Head.”

Months were then spent unsuccessfully looking for a berth at Melbourne. The same result came from inquiries at “ports from Portland to Eden”.

Tasports was then under pressure to move the Wyuna or face penalties for holding up contracted port works.

It finally seemed a berth was available at the old Hydro wharf in bell Bay, only to see the opportunity disappear when the pilot decided it was unsuitable.

“We had inspected the wharf with the representative of the owners and deemed it suitable [but] apparently we were not qualified to make that determination,” Mr Bryant stated.

The pilots eventually called to say Wyuna would be sailing within hours and told Mr Bryant to organise a crew.

“How they expected me to muster a volunteer crew in such short notice I have no idea,” he said.

“When this was relayed to the pilots they said they would use a tug to move her and place the vessel on anchor in the bay. I made it quite clear we were not in a position to not only fund a tug but did not have the infrastructure set up to man a vessel on anchor, this was also relayed to the harbourmaster still they went ahead.

“Wyuna was unceremoniously dragged away from the wharf by a tug and taken out in to the bay and dropped on anchor where she rests.”

A VOLUNTEER beach clean-up with a twist will be held at Rye front beach, 10.30am-3pm, Sunday 24 January.

Organiser Sacha Guggenheimer said the Seaside Scavenge concept, Trash–Trade, was all about collecting and trading beach litter for secondhand clothes.

“Come and trade the trash you collect on the beach for stylish secondhand threads donated by salty folk to raise awareness of marine debris and plastic pollution,” she said.

Those attending should register before starting. They should also bring their own gloves. Prizes will be given throughout the day.

Events will include a recyclingthemed session of children’s yoga at noon; trashy craft workshop, 1pm; and a talk by Captain Trash from the Bay Keeper, 2pm.

Dive2U will provide free tank refills for divers participating in the clean-up.

“This voluntary community event aims to raise awareness of the modern disposable plastic culture through fun, creativity and science,” Ms Guggenheimer said.

“Our intention is to raise awareness among people who otherwise may not be attracted to the idea of a beach clean-up.”

Morning tea talks TWO speakers will feature at a free women’s morning tea at St Mark’s Anglican Church, opposite the Dromana Hub, 10am, Monday 15 February. Wendy Bright will talk about her work on a mercy ship, and Mary Sayers will talk about growing proteas.

Focusing on life down under Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SHEREE Marris submerges herself in her work. An outspoken advocate the Mornington Peninsula, she concentrates on its rarely seen and hidden attractions.

To actually see Marris at work requires some beach accessories, but not the ones advertised in style magazines or found hanging in trendy boutiques.

An aquatic scientist, Marris is more usually billed as a “marine educator” and has long promoted the attractions that live under the waters of Port Phillip.

Marris has been widely published and exposed on TV and radio in her quest to highlight the unusual and unexpected life forms that dwell beneath the bay’s surface.

Her latest foray into the abundant waters is the documentary, Melbourne Down Under, which “brings to life” the coffee table book of the same name she published in 2011.

A trailer for the production shows glimpses of life, and death, between the surface and the seabed, including seals and birds have successfully adapted to catching their prey underwater.

The film shows the beauty and majesty unwittingly presented by life forms that live solely in the watery environment, their colours, agility and movement, especially shoals of fish.

It also shows how suddenly things can change: the crab moving towards the camera with claws raised is oblivious to the danger from behind until the octopus strikes.

On the other side of the ledger a moment of wonder is created when a seal comes nose to nose with a weedy sea dragon, an seahorse-related marine fish that has to be seen to be believed.

The former Hastings resident and Young Australian of the Year (2002), Marris says the documentary aims “to promote the wonders of Port Phillip, encourage exploration and use it as a platform to discuss how we can look after it”.

“If people don’t know what exists on our front door step we can’t expect them to care.”

Most of the footage is shot in the waters around the peninsula by Marris and a small team of cinematographers. ”We also filmed a number of world first behavioural sequences which was exciting,” Marris said.

Free screenings of Melbourne Down Under are being held at the Speigel Zelt (Three Palms), 154 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento, 1-5pm and 2-8pm Monday 25 January.

The first session includes a display of “beachcombing treasures” for children while the later session also includes the feature, Sex in the Sea.

The other world: Filmmaker, author and marine educator Sheree Marris takes a dive in Port Phillip, left, home to a variety of life forms, including the southern blue devil, right.

Light trumps heat on councillors’ Paris jaunt “PUBLIC debate can sometimes produce a lot of heat but not much light.” The light of Emu’s life, his Blushing Bride, has just walked into his man cave and made a pronouncement, wearing her profound scholarly look. It comes out of the blue: Emu thought she was pulling weeds in the vegie patch.

But, one can get inspiration while thinning young carrots, he supposes as he braces for more philosophy. And wait long he does not have to.

“I’ve been doing some research.

About this council trip to Paris. Two of them went – and a staffer.” Emu is vaguely aware of what she speaks. He senses an impending fact avalanche.

The Blushing Bride did a semester on research techniques at one of her courses, from which Emu has been subjected to much information, useful and otherwise. He braces.

“I am contemplating a Letter to the Editor about Paris,” the BB intones, “to set a few people straight. They have been writing to the editor saying it was junket and other unkind and uninformed things and they don’t have all the facts. I do.”

And, Emu must say that, to his surprise, his spouse does indeed have some pretty good facts. She has printed them out and now waves them at him – a thick sheaf of paper that contains an entire council annual report, marked with stick-on tag place-holders and decorated with litres of yellow highlighter.

“Look,” she says, flicking to a section headed Councillor Expenses.

“They’re entitled, by law” – her glare and tone emphasise these words – “by

law,” she repeats, “to be reimbursed for travel costs, mileage for their own car, child care…”

The list momentarily becomes white noise until Emu hears “… conferences and training expenses” emphasised in that tone. He snaps back into concentration mode.

This, it appears, is the gist of it. The Paris jaunt, to a global climate change conference, was paid for out of this allowance. Emu, a latter day environmentalist, is keen on carbon neutrality.

The family ancestral pile, Emu Ruo, was largely decarbonised several years ago after the BB did a course on waste gases and the like. Emu is largely gasfree these days.

“The rules are very strict,” says the BB, waving another document at him.

As it flashes past he spots the words “policy” and “Local Government Regulations”. It is titled Attendance

at Interstate & Overseas Seminars and Conferences Policy.

Not snappy but informative, even down to which form (A1808648) must be filled in by attendees “for inclusion in the appropriate statutory register”.

“It’s all governed by the Local Government Act,” Mrs Emu says. And every dollar must be accounted for. There were no ratepayer-paid trips to the Folies Bergère or the Moulin Rouge, I can assure you.

“What do the critics want? For councillors to have to fork out to get better educated, or to gather information vital to the shire’s future? Is that how business works? I don’t think so.”

The BB can teeter towards the edge of socialistic thoughts from time to time. “For a talented woman with children not to stand for council because she can’t afford to pay for child care?

For councillors to have pay to tel-

ephone ratepayers? For travelling to meetings? Where would these people stop? No pay, no allowances?”

She is running hot. “Their pay – it’s called an allowance – is about $28,000 a year. Who gives up a heap of spare time for that? They put in a lot of hours for us and they cop a lot of criticism.

It’s so unfair.”

Emu is barely able to believe what he is hearing. He must ask his spouse later what she has been reading, what New Year resolution she has made, if the parsnip wine is a good vintage.

A defender of councillors she has not previously been.

“What did the councillors learn in Paris, apart from the fact that Australia is near the bottom of the world heap on tackling in climate change? Here’s the shire, heading for carbon neutrality, setting a good example, and out come the critics!”

She pauses and sinks into a chair, seemingly exhausted. Emu eyes her cautiously. He suggests gently that she might like a cup of bush tea. She nods.

“We’ll hear when the Paris report goes to council, how much the councillors have learned.

“They must, by law, lodge a report.

Then the critics can have their say. Unless they want to continue with their uninformed comments.”

Is she planning to stand for council, Emu wonders. It is an election year.

Not that she’d be claiming for child care. It must be the climate change thing, he decides as he fills the kettle.

She’s a mother after all, and mothers never take their eye off the welfare of the next generations. Yes, that must be it.

“Cake with that, Dear?” he asks, suddenly very fond of her. He hopes there is cake.

FROGS become more obvious after summer rains.

Often heard but not seen, some of the common species to look out for are the common froglet, striped marsh frog and growling grass frog.

To encourage the frogs to stick around, the Backyard Buddies program of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife has issued tips on making a pond.

“Water is incredibly important for Australia’s wildlife, especially our huge variety of frogs,” foundation CEO Susanna Bradshaw said.

“A pond can offer an easy, permanent water source for your local amphibian buddies and will also benefit lots of other native animals too.

“Australia is home to over 200 species of frogs that are found nowhere else in the world. Sadly Australia also has one of the highest rates of amphibian extinction in the world.

So anything that can be done around Frankston or the Mornington Peninsula to provide habitat for them will be a big help.”

Ms Bradshaw said frogs are facing threats from Chytrid fungus, water pollution, drought and predation from introduced pests.

“Their numbers haven’t plummeted like this since the extinction of the dinosaurs,” Ms Bradshaw said.

Providing a pond was “the best thing you can do for local frogs”.

The presence of frog indicated a healthy ecosystem “as they are very sensitive to chemicals and environmental degradation” and cautioned against touching frogs as they reacted

to sunscreen or insect repellent.

“We strongly advise that you do not relocate frogs or tadpoles as you could unintentionally be spreading the deadly Chytrid fungus,” she said.

“While not all frogs live around ponds, they all need a water

SAFETY ALERT SA. Maritime No 2015 - 1

NOTICE TO OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF ALL VESSELS Safety alerts are published by Transport Safety Victoria (TSV) under section 197 of the Transport Integration Act 2010 (Vic) to promote the safe operation of transport services.

Safety alerts are intended to provide information only and must be read in conjunction with obligations under relevant legislation.

SUBJECT

Recent changes to marine regulations - new definition of Port Phillip Heads.

ISSUE A recent coronial inquest prompted Transport Safety Victoria to review the risks to safety for boating in the vicinity of Port Phillip Heads. Recognising the various navigational hazards in the area, TSV sought an expansion to the area defined as Port Phillip Heads within the meaning of the Marine Safety Regulations 2012.

This amendment has now taken effect and the new definition of Port Phillip Heads in regulation 4 of the Marine Safety Regulations is: Port Phillip Heads means all the waters between an imaginary line drawn between Short/and Bluff and Point Nepean, and the seaward limits of an imaginary line consisting the arc of a circle with a radius of 3 nautical miles centred on Point Lonsdale.

This definition of Port Phillip Heads now includes the area at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, where conditions are known to present additional risks to vessels operating there.

The defined area is shown in the diagram to the right:

LIFEJACKET WEAR IS MANDATORY IN THE RED AREA Port Phillip Heads is a “designated hazardous area” as defined in the regulation 101 4(a): the vessel is crossing or attempting to cross an ocean bar or operating within a designated hazardous area.

Additional safety measures are imposed on vessels in designated hazardous areas, including mandatory PFD wearing.

THIS ADVICE IS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

More information about designated hazardous areas is available from our website transportsafety.vic.gov.au/maritime-safety in the Newsroom and in the lifejacket section of chapter 4 of the Victorian Recreational Boating Handbook.

ARCTO has become a regular attraction at Dromana, but the rules are: look but don’t touch.

The adult bull seal first landed on the beach two summers ago and this year took up residence for four days early in January.

On warm days beachgoers vying for their own bit of sand make it a bit hard to avoid the Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus), although Arcto seems happy enough to share.

“This is Arcto's third straight summer at Dromana and we want to make sure people stay at least 30 metres from him if he does come back," De-

partment of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) authorised officer Abby Smith said.

Protected under the Wildlife Act, onlookers must stay at least 30 metres (dogs 50m) from Arcto and not touch or feed him.

Ms Smith said she had “checked” the seal when he first appeared this year and found him to be in “fair to average health”.

“He is a wild animal in his natural environment and we do not wish to unnecessarily interact with him," she said.

"While we understand some peo-

ple might be curious or excited to see Arcto, the best chance of him staying in a non-stressed state is if people keep their distance.

"We ask also those who might have dogs in the area to take a common sense approach by using a leash and remaining vigilant if Arcto is nearby.

Ms Smith said the seal could have “all the time it needs” on the beach before getting “back into the swim of things”.

LETTERS Path petition Mornington Peninsula Shire Council ignored a petition signed by 90 per cent of contactable owners opposing a scheme to construct footpaths in McCrae.

As property owners we like the informality of McCrae and its difference from suburban Melbourne.

We are also concerned with the cost of the footpaths. The cost to each owner in the original Scheme was $2522 or $1261 depending on which side of the street has the single footpath. These are not insignificant amounts to be paid for something most do not want.

Further galling to many property owners was the last minute introduction

by Cr David Gibb of a reduction to residents of up to $500 in one of the streets because it is connected to a freeway underpass. The reduction should apply across the whole scheme.

The change was introduced without any warning or consultation and came after more than six months of promotion by council of the original scheme. The shire’s documentation indicated that the underpass had already been considered.

If most councillors did not know of the motion or its content before it was voted on this should raise concerns about council governance.

The Local Government Act emphasises that council’s criteria for apportionment of contributions to special charge schemes must be fair, even and equitable and owners should be consulted before the scheme is declared. This did not happen for what is now a very different scheme. A modification that creates inequality is not an insignificant change.

It seems council will do anything to continue to seal all streets and roads irrespective of ratepayers’ wishes, the effect on the environment, loss of vegetation and the unwanted transformation to an urbanised concrete filled streetscape.

Changes at beach What has happened to Shire Hall Beach, Mornington? What was once a convenient, popular swimming beach for residents and visitors no longer exists.

A massive amount of sand has been scoured from the eastern end of the beach and now, to access the water, people have to walk over stones and rocks.

Where once it was an excellent safe sandy beach for children playing in the shallows, it is now a no-go area.

What has caused this negative transformation, who or what is responsible, and what if anything can be done to restore the beach to its previous usable state?

Neil Gilbert, Mornington

Fire lessons Especially for regional townships, how scary is it that before the fires arrived in Western Australia grid power electricity failed, so that water supply also failed?

During hot dry periods demand for electricity is high. Coal-fired power stations consume huge amounts of water.

If Hazelwood caught fire again, would there be enough water to hose it down without major power brown outs?

Here’s an idea, to be sure of water and power supply, how about a pipeline from a huge desalination plant to Hazelwood, both owned by GDF-SUEZ, taxpayer funded, of course?

When will we get serious about distributed electricity generation to reduce danger from grid power failure, especially for regional townships exposed to bush fire?

the proposed dredging of Western Port full stop (“Changing sides”, Letters 12/1/16).

Barry Macmillan’s assertions that I campaigned for Clive Palmer or anyone else is fanciful to say the least. I was handing out [publicity] for the Greens.

All I would like to say about the Liberal crew is that their behaviour at pre-poll towards the person from Palmer United Party was a complete disgrace and I probably stood up to their bullying towards this poor woman trying to do her job.

Barrie Macmillan, in typical Liberal fashion under Abbott, seems stuck in the past and appears ready to say and do anything to defend what I see as socially bankrupt ideas of a failing neo conservative agenda.

Hats off to him, he is consistent with the person I met at pre poll in Hastings and who I'm looking forward to seeing at the hustings later this year.

Farewell Bowie It is very sad to know that one of the greatest literary and music geniuses of this century passed away on 10 January - David Jones, known as David Bowie.

He was a great mentor for the liberation of gay.

I had followed him since 1968 and he was my inspiration to be who I am and my own identity with my poetry and song writing.

A great genius will be missed, from one genius to another: Thanks.

Storm damage: Severe weather events like this storm in July 2013 can damage bathing boxes which can be repaired with counci8l authorisation.

Clean up time PIECES of asbestos and paint scrapings have been left lying in the sand around a recently renovated beach box at Fishermans Beach, Mornington.

A dog walker spotted the litter last week and called The News to complain about health dangers and unsightliness posed by the crumbling asbestos and paint.

Mornington Peninsula Shire says there are regulations to manage bathing boxes.

“Reconstruction and alterations must be authorised by council and planning and building permits obtained,” chief financial officer Matthew Hubbard said.

“Where a building permit is issued, the works are inspected and approved by a licensed building surveyor.”

Mr Hubbard said annual inspections were made “to determine beach box condition and notify licensees of any issues, such as maintenance, repairs, unauthorised additions, and graffiti.”

On the waterfront WAVES of crowds soaked up the weekend sunshine at the Frankston Waterfront Festival at the weekend (Saturday 16-Sunday 17 January) enjoying family-friendly activities including thrill rides, live music, markets and water sports. The annual festival, a celebration of Frankston’s bayside location, is swelling in popularity each year. Pictures: Gary Sissons

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Public farewells discontinue soon Compiled by Melissa Walsh MRS J Millard has received a cable this week from her grandson, Sergeant Alex Kerr, to the effect that he was leaving for Australia after having been wounded in the head at Gallipoli. *** A number of wounded soldiers were entertained by “The Wattles” Club at the Park, Frankston, on last Sunday afternoon, when a most enjoyable time was spent. *** THE Dramatic entertainment advertised to take place at Somerville this evening, in aid of the Red Cross, has been postponed on account of the recruiting meeting being held the same evening. *** AT the special meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers, held on Monday evening, it was decided to hold the annual show as usual, on 15th March next, 20 per cent of the profits to be devoted to local patriotic funds. *** SIR John Madden will deliver an address in the Somerville Hall this evening, on behalf of the recruiting movement now being carried on throughout this Commonwealth.

Lieutenant Fisher and others will also address the meeting *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute will be held on Thursday evening next, and the Somerville Mechanics will hold

theirs on the following evening. *** MESSRS T R B Morton and Son will hold a sale of 80 town lots on the ground, Railway Station Estate, Bittern, on Monday, 31st January. For particulars see advt. *** FOLLOWING up his vigorous policy to develop the military reserve at Langwarrin, Major Robson, Staff Officer Engineers, entered into consultation with Mr Hermann, the well known geologist of the Victorian Mines Department. The result has been that from four bores water has been struck in three cases.

The test gave in one case 59 gallons per hour and in the other 350 gallons per hour, or a total of over 10,000 gallons daily. The boring has been engineered and expeditiously carried out by Mr W. Anderson, a practical and experienced drill foreman. *** CAPTAIN Coyle, who left Langwarrin Camp last week for duty at head quarters, is one of the best known members of the A. and I. Staff. As Camp Commandant at Langwarrin he reorganised the office staff, and by the erection of separate kitchens completely altered the system of cooking, by which means the troops are now better fed and quicker served.

He provided more cold water shower baths and arranged for sea bathing three times a week. He rendered every aid for the Christmas treat and biography shows for the patients.

He earned the gratitude of property

owners in the Frankston shire by the excellent system of military police, and used every effort to protect orchardists from raiding. At the last meeting of the Langwarrin Progressive Association a vote of thanks was passed for his services. Risen from the ranks, he has learnt by experience and intuition that laws must not be rigid, but, like a rubber band, should contract or expand. The essence of a soldier, his very presence inspired confidence. He raised the prestige of the military; and was rapidly gaining popularity. He comes of a type that fought our battles against Napoleon, and one whom Charles Lever would have delighted to honor. *** AT a meeting of the Langwarrin Progressive Association, held on Monday evening, Mr J. N. Marsh was unanimously elected a member.

Three more nominations were received at the meeting, and altogether the association promises to soon become as strong and prosperous as in its earlier history. *** ALTHOUGH the weather continues to dry, the fruit crops promise to be of good quality and size. Prices for apricots and plums have been good, but with early apples very low prices have ruled. This was caused by the large importation of American apples. As this has now ceased more payable prices can be confidently looked for.

Poultry keepers, owing to the reduction in feed prices, are gaining more

profitable returns, and flocks have increased to former sizes. *** YOUNG men are still enlisting from this district, and so far they have received a very nice farewell and presentation at the local hall. On Saturday evening, January 22, Norman and Peter Taylor have a send off, and at a later date, yet to be fixed, several more will be guests at a farewell concert. As it is intended soon to discontinue these public farewells, all the eligibles should hurry up, and not lose such a chance of being publicly honored through their bashfulness or timidity. *** DURING the school holidays the committee have had the shelter shed asphalted, and also have other improvements under way. We note the Cranbourne Shire has been allotted £50 from the Government for the purpose of making much needed improvements to the west boundary road, near the railway station and military camp. The traffic on this road has been very heavy for some time, and the prospect of its being made passable has given much satisfaction to the residents. *** THERE was a large attendance at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, on Wednesday evening, in response to the appeal of the sub-committee of the North Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, with the object of stimulating the enrolment of volunteers to go to the front in de-

fence of the Empire and to induce recipients of the war census appeals to reply in the affirmative.

Cr Griffeth, President of the Shire, occupied the chair, and proceedings were commenced by singing “God Save the King”, Mrs M’Cormack playing the accompaniment. Apologies for inability to attend were read from Sir William Irvine, Major Blizzard, and Commander Brewis, R.N. The chairman explained the formation of the recruiting movement, and said it was their united determination to stand by the old flag, and the council is putting forth every effort to fall in line with the movement. He hoped that those who had fallen at Gallipoli, would act as a stimulus to others to enlist, and help to bring this great war to a termination, and that the Shire of Frankston and Hastings would bring forward their required quota.

He then introduced Sir John Madden, and asked him to move the first resolution which was the same as that recently passed at the Town Hall, Melbourne. Sir John Madden, on rising was received with hearty cheers.

He said that every Australian worthy of the name—and what an immensely lofty, undying name it must be henceforth!—that no man who thinks his services may be of use will hesitate to come forward and place himself and his services at the disposal of his country. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 January, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Heavy metal and the art of happiness

By Stuart McCullough IT’S official: listening to heavy metal music makes you happy. Upon hearing the news I raced home and destroyed every album in the house by Angus and Julia Stone, Jack Johnson and every other surfing hippie that isn’t Jack Johnson but sounds exactly like him.

I’ll admit that, for a moment, I felt fantastic. However, none of these albums were mine and their destruction – even if in the name of science – was somewhat controversial and so my sense of euphoria was short lived. Until now, I’d always thought the reason those guys in Metallica were so happy was because they’d just had a money fight in which they’d tossed wads of cash at each other, but it turns out it’s the music rather than the financial recompense that’s the cause of all this joy.

According to the study, heavy metal makes you happy because it empathizes with you when you’re down. In that sense, it’s kind of like Blues music. But surely the explanation can’t be that simple? There must be something more to it than mere aural empathy? Heavy metal is so much more than music: it’s a way of life. Forget the Dalai Lama and burn your selfhelp books, we should all embrace the metal lifestyle in order to find the happiness we all so richly deserve. To understand why heavy metal music is the cause for such delight and unmitigated bliss, it is necessary to consider the elements of metal.

Tight pants. If you don’t own a pair of tight pants, get some without further delay. And when I say ‘tight’ I’m talking about something that’s more or less a second skin and causes a ‘pre-

PAGE 50

served fruit’ effect on your delicate areas. I mean tight. Not only is it a superb look that’s forever fashionable, it’s crucial if you want to reach the high notes as you sing along to Iron Maiden’s ‘Run For the Hills’. Critically, it robs parts of your anatomy from an over-supply of blood. This,

Mornington News 19 January 2016

I feel, makes life in general a lot less complicated. The band Madness may well have extolled the virtues of Baggy Trousers and this, I feel, goes some way to explaining why the group was named ‘Madness’ and not ‘Happiness’. True bliss is found in tight pants.

The Double Kick Drum. Within the genre of heavy metal music, the use of the double kick drum is nigh on mandatory. But elsewhere, it’s as rare as a left-handed hammer. Scour the collected works of Britney Spears and nary a double kick drum you will find.

Indeed, the lack of double kick drum may well be a contributing factor to Celine Dion’s slide into obscurity.

There’s something wonderfully over the top about a double kick drum. It is a glorious thing that someone, somewhere once asked: why make do with one kick drum when you can have two? Given the vast majority of drummers are equipped with two feet rather than one, it’s a compelling question.

It’s also a declaration: there’s no hiding when the drummer has a double kick drum. Setting up a double kick drum says: we pledge allegiance to heavy metal, regardless of the ridicule and opprobrium it brings us. It’s to be admired.

Pale Skin. It’s often said that exposure to the sun is vital for producing vitamin B without which we are doomed to misery. That’s rubbish. Being left at the mercy of the sun is an invitation to sunburn, not happiness.

True contentment is a studio tan. The pastier the better. It screams devotion to the art of metal at the expense of everything else, especially outdoor exercise.

Proper Band Names. You can keep ‘Hootie and the Blowfish’ – it sounds like a children’s picture book. ‘The Beatles’ is an affront to spelling. ‘The Hooters’ sang about ‘All You Zombies’ before quitting the business and opening a chain of restaurants. Just

as we knew they always would. ‘The Foo Fighters’ should be a cartoon, not a rock band. Even worse are those bands that decide to double down. Duran Duran. Mr. Mister. Talk Talk. All of them equally dreadful. Frankly, the state of band names outside of metal are abysmal. Real bands have names that mean something; like Slayer, Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth and The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza.

The Mullet. It truly is the prince of haircuts. More than that, it’s about balance. Heavy metal is one of the last remaining sanctuaries for the mullet haircut. Once, it roamed throughout pop music like a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex, but just like that majestic beast, it is now pretty much extinct.

Except, that is, within the world of metal. Business up front, party at the back: what more can you ask for from a haircut?

Head-banging.

It’s something you just don’t get with Kanye West.

There’s something very primal about throwing yourself back and forward in time with the music. Forget dancing and anything that involves your hips.

Science has spoken. Resistance is futile. No further correspondence will be entered in to. Instead of a balanced diet and plenty of sunlight, I should have been standing in front of a Marshall Stack and hammering on to my heart’s content. The answer is clear: I must surrender to metal if I ever want to be happy. It’s time to slip into some black jeans and let the ecstasy begin.

WHAT’S NEW...

On the Beach – A Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition WHEN bans on daylight bathing were lifted in 1902, the beach became a prime leisure destination. The beach became not only a public space of recreation but also a place where the Australian identity was developing, for many epitomizing the liberties of Australia’s society.

On the beach brings together 76 outstanding and iconic paintings, photographs and installations to consider the defining relationship we have to the shore.

The exhibition features works by Vernon Ah Kee, Arthur Boyd, Gordon Bennett, Daniel Boyd, Max Dupain, Charles Meere, Tracey Moffatt, David Moore, Sidney Nolan, Polixeni Papapetrou, John Perceval, Scott Redford, Jeffrey Smart, Albert Tucker, Guan Wei and Anne Zahalka, as well as outstanding recently discovered works by George Caddy. A champion jitterbug dancer, Caddy’s photographs of ‘beachobatics’ were kept undisturbed in a shoebox for 60 years until they were ‘discovered’ by his son after his death. They capture the exuberance and optimism of Australian society between the wars.

The beach first became a prime leisure destination in the early decades of the twentieth century. Up to Federation many artists had looked to the bush to galvanise a fledging nationalism, but during the interwar years this shifted and increasingly the beach became the site of Australian identity.

Already by 1908 one Melbourne newspaper commented upon the ‘vast throng of holidaymakers all along the coast.’

In the years following the First World War, against a backdrop of a growing interest in physical fitness, the beach was seen as a place for creating ‘a fine healthy race of men.’ Understandings of the beach as an Australian way of life emerged during this period and increasingly the Australian type was associated with bronzed athletic bodies on the beach.

On the beach looks at artists’ responses to the stereotype of the interwar period and juxtaposes modernist works with contemporary artists’ responses to include a more culturally diverse mix of people.

SETH SENTRY

By Billy Dixon

When you career begins in the furthest corners of a sleepy seaside village, nearly two hours from the centre of Melbourne, you’re going to have to put in some serious legwork if the rest of the world’s going to recognise you. Seth Morton lived on the Mornington Peninsula for nearly 20 years before a career in music beckoned him elsewhere. A small market that seemed to cater exclusively to cover bands and a general lack of industry saw the Peninsula of the mid-2000s unable to cater for an emerging artist of his calibre. Seth dropped his last name, adopted the Sentry moniker and left for the big city, where dreams could be realised.

Even if he’d failed in his quest, at least there are some great record stores up in town. “I moved to Melbourne when I was 19… a long time ago. There was no music scene here.

There were no live music venues and nobody was into rap music… except for me and one other guy at high school.” Though Sorrento, Seth’s home town, punches well above its weight in the retail sector, the offers were limited. “It was whatever music I could find at the cinema / video shop / CD shop in the village, which is where I got all my music. Luckily, I found Wu Tang albums and Gravedigger CDs, a whole bunch of old school, late-‘90s rap music.

If people told me about something I’d have to go and order it in – you couldn’t exactly jump on Spotify!”

The move has been kind to Seth. While he no doubt misses the reverie of old friends at the Frankston skate park, his life changed when he met Perry Chapman, A.K.A. Pez. “I met Pez through a girl that I knew… she said I should meet up with Pez and Matik, so I did. Then I met 360 through Pez, we started doing gigs

PAGE 54

Mornington News 19 January 2016

and writing songs together and Pez ended up producing my whole EP, and a bunch of songs off the next album as well. When you’ve all got similar interests and passions, it’s easy to make friends.”

Thankfully, geography is no longer the creativity-choking force it once was. Yeah, the internet’s been around for a generation now, but what this generation’s done with it in the last decade has permanently changed the world. You can submerge yourself in the greasiest, darkest depths of an industry from the comfort of an arm chair, all the while behind a protective layer of bulletproof glass. Says Seth of the way things have changed, “I felt like I had to make a move to a different area because I physically couldn’t do what I needed to do on a daily basis, or interact with the people I needed to in order to be immersed in the music scene.

It’s different now because where you’re at doesn’t matter so much… it’s almost at the point where you don’t need to release a physical CD anymore.”

That’s not to suggest that pursuing Seth’s path would be easy now. In a world where everybody has become a publisher, the next competition for your listener’s earballs is already in post-production. The technology might be more readily available, but that doesn’t mean ability is. “I started writing music when I was 15, so yeah, it took a long time. But it never felt like it because I was so immersed in it, enjoying what I was doing, approaching every open mic night I could. It never felt like a long time coming because I had my head down in it, and I actually loved the process.” His best advice for the budding rapper or hip-hop artist is “the more you write, the better you get, and the more you

immerse yourself in it, the more people you’re going to draw toward you.

“Or you could be like Adele, and sell 3.8 million copies in your first week!” Yes, or that. But for the rest of us, what matters is that you’re passionate about creation. Without that drive, with only a destination in mind, promising young artists lose their way, succumbing to old marketing tricks to get eyeballs and likes on pages.

“They essentially become ‘meme’ pages. They don’t post any music, they’re not personable, it’s just about posting funny shit.” Which, ironically, can really subtract from the impression one might wish to cultivate. Perhaps even more ironically, Seth himself was once “that annoying dude who was spamming everyone my music, trying to get everyone to listen, once I’d made the decision to really go for it.” Even so, it was always about the music.

Which brings us to our third and final irony in this literary trifecta – Seth isn’t entirely about music 100% of the time. While an artist having hobbies and interests outside their field isn’t exactly news (or, for that matter, ironic), it can make them human, connecting an artist to their community roots. For Seth, that’s gaming and skating. Konami’s latest entry, Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain (starring Kiefer Sutherland) was passing the time until his game bugged out and he lost his progress. Enter, Star Wars Battlefront…unfortunately, that’s about all the info you’ll get from Wikipedia – he’s even managed to keep his date of birth hidden, apparently unintentionally.

But even Seth Sentry needs to leave the house for inspiration. No longer able to “skate the park” in Frankston, he’s sought adrenaline through 10,000-strong crowds at festivals like

Falls. “I still skate, but everything hurts now!

Apart from the fact I just broke my foot recently, when I fall off a skateboard these days everything is in pain.” A good enough reason to stick to the festival crowds, although he notes the different ambience in such an arena compared to a one-night headline act.

“The intimate stuff is cool, but with 10,000 kids going mental, it’s hard to pass the festivals. It’s a little more detached, you’re there to perform and the crowd’s so far away from you that you can’t see any individual person’s face, they just become one big, hard-to-see entity. And that’s great – you turn it on, people go wild and you get a nice adrenaline rush and I love that, but I also love the intimate side of things. Gigs where you can actually talk to people, have the audience yell shit out, and feed off it.”

As for the rest of the year? Seth Sentry’s returning to Melbourne’s south east at the end of the month to rock the Chelsea Heights Hotel, and that’s actually close enough to the Mornington Peninsula that there might even be a few familiar faces in the crowd. He’s got a couple more tours to knock over for this album, at which point he’ll whisk himself away to somewhere comfortable yet inspiring, somewhere he can do some serious writing. There’s “a bunch of surprises coming out this year, little features and stuff that I can’t get too specific about.”

We love surprises, especially when coupled with vague descriptions of activity, because that usually means something big is looming.

Stay tuned!

Seth Sentry is playing at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Monday, 25th January, 2016. Tickets available at the venue or from oztix.com.au.

Doggies have one last crack PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON is going all out in one last ditch effort to make the MPCA Provincial finals.

Sitting in 10th place heading into their Round eight match against Rye, the Dogs found themselves 20 points behind second placed Long Island.

There was no other result Mornington could afford than an outright win and the 20 points that came with it.

After the completion of day one, the Dogs are on track to achieve their objective.

Mornington won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Demons at RJ Rowley Reserve.

The home side lasted 37.4 overs for a net return of 65 runs.

Michael Heib was the destroyer with six wickets while Matt Dunn

top scored with 22 for Rye. The Dogs then batted for 22 overs.

It was enough time for Matt Foon to belt an unbeaten 100 while Brad McDonald hit 31 at the other end.

The Dogs finished their innings at 0/132 before sending Rye back in for the final 20 overs of the day.

Mornington needs seven wickets and the Demons need a further 17 runs to make Mornington bat again.

Rye will resume on day two at 3/51 with skipper Tommy Baron still at the crease, unbeaten on 31.

Heib has another two second innings’ wickets to give him eight for the match at this stage.

Crib Point has knocked Baxter out of the top four.

Playing on their home deck, the Pies sent Baxter into bat first and proceeded to roll them for just 88 in 30.1 overs.

Jacob Cook was outstanding with

the new ball for the home side, snaring 6/43 while Glenn Barclay claimed 3/37.

Ben Brittain was again the only Baxter batsman to offer any real resistance, top scoring with 24.

In reply, the Magpies were 4/44 at one stage before Ricky Thompson (39 not out) and Neil Clark (30) came out to bat. Rob Hearn also made 35 at the top of the order.

The Pies will resume at 7/169, 81 runs ahead of the visitors.

Ben Smith was the pick of the Baxter bowlers with 3/31.

Long Island has set fourth-placed Somerville 172 for victory.

The Islanders were bowled out with two overs remaining for the day.

Somerville will resume at 0/4.

Moorooduc has left Sorrento with some work to do in their match at Moorooduc Reserve.

Winning the toss and batting first, the sixth-placed Ducs made 216 in 75.1 overs.

At one stage Moorooduc was in real trouble at 6/77. However, Nick Williams hit an unbeaten 95 and Adam Bayley hit 28 and together put up almost 100 for the seventh wicket.

Bobby Wilson claimed three wickets for the Sorras while Ryan O’Connor, who left Ballam Park mid-season, claimed a couple of wickets.

In reply, Sorrento is 0/4.

Pines and Langwarrin are in battle in a “last roll of the dice” affair. The loser of this match can kiss their finals chances goodbye.

After day one, Pines are the unbackable favorites after Rhys Chalkley (104) and Nick Wilcox (81) put on 153 for the opening stand.

Former Roo Brent Magill then

made a quick fire 29 at the end of the innings to help the Piners to 298.

Nathan Volpe was the best of the Langwarrin bowlers with 6/48 from 8.5 overs.

Top of the table Peninsula Old Boys has set Mt Eliza 234 for victory after making 233 in 79 overs.

Eivion Bowen top scored for the Old Boys with 63 runs while Glen Prendergast hit 53 at the top of the order. The batting order was very different for this clash with Brandon Lawler and Dylan O’Malley batting down the list and Wil Crowder and Bowen batting higher.

Justin Grant was the best of the Mounties’ bowlers with 4/90 from 28 overs.

Scramble is on for top places DISTRICT

By IT Gully WITH finals well and truly on the line in MPCA District cricket, every game is important for every team as we head for the finish line for the season.

Whilst Baden Powell and Red Hill are safe at the top of the table, the scramble for the final two places has been left between five clubs.

Heatherhill is one of those clubs fighting for a spot in the four and after day one against bottom of the table Boneo, they are on target to collect maximum points (20) for an outright win.

Knowing full well that an outright opportunity beckoned, the Hills with Neil Martin at the helm, played their cards very strategically in a bid to get the desired result.

They won the toss and batted first, with Kristian Miller hitting a teamhigh score of 45. However, after just 21 overs, the Hills declared their innings and sent Boneo into bat.

The Pandas batted for 58.4 overs for a return of 111 runs.

Jake Theobald was the best of the bowlers with 4/22, giving him 25 wickets across the various formats for the season.

Ben Davies, who made his debut last week, backed up his strong first efforts with 3/22 from 16 overs.

Baden Powell was restricted to one of its lowest scores of the season against third-placed Pearcedale.

While Travis Kellerman continued his purple patch with the bat making 77 at the top of the innings, the rest of the top order, for a change, failed to fire a shot.

Chris Dew was simply outstanding for the Panthers with 7/42 from 26 overs, including nine maidens.

He removed the top four batsmen, including the in-form Tom Wood and Rhys Elmi.

The Panthers batted the final three overs for the day without loss.

A Pearcedale win would be massive for the competition and really open up the premiership race.

PAGE 56

Delacombe Park’s season still has a flicker of hope and they are in a sensational position against Seaford Tigers.

The Tigers won the toss and sent Delacombe into bat. The visitors made 175 in 50.5 overs with Rowan Charles top scoring with 46 and Shane Deal getting 39.

Jordan Watters was the best of the Tigers’ bowlers with three wickets.

In reply, the Tigers are in a world of pain at 5/72. Deal, who remains the most underrated cricketer in the MPCA, has 2/17.

Flinders is currently in fourth place on the ladder but that won’t be the case at 6.10pm this Saturday night after day one of the match against Red Hill.

The Sharks need to chase down 304 to beat the Hillmen. That simply won’t happen.

On Saturday, Simon Dart helped himself to another century for Red Hill, the skipper scoring 108. Rheede Hopgood scored 57 and Andrew Mock chimed in with 35 at the end when the score was already settled.

Shane Beggs bowled 14 overs for the Sharks and picked-up 3/54.

With the likes of Lincoln Toy and Glenn Collett headlining the Red Hill attack, 304 is well out of Flinders’ reach.

Mt Martha and Main Ridge are out of the race for finals but remain engaged in a duel at Ferrero Reserve.

The Reds sent Main Ridge into bat first and the visitors made 165 in 74 overs. Gareth Wyatt top scored with 34. Curtis Stone was the pick of the Mt Martha bowlers with 3/24 from 16 overs.

Kyle Bendle and Jake Smart each collected two wickets.

In reply, Mt Martha faced the final six overs of the day and lost Alex Mason along the way. They’ll resume at 1/9.

FRANKSTON FOOTBALL CLUB

CLUB

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK and Ballam Park are playing for their seasons in MPCA Sub-District cricket in Round eight.

Both sides are just half a game outside of the top four. A loss in this match could end their seasons.

The Knights have gone through some tough times of late, with Ryan O’Connor pulling the pin and heading home to Sorrento mid-season.

However, some of the “old stagers” have again rallied around the club and are hoping to get them into the finals.

After day one of the clash against the Frogs at Truemans Road Reserve, it appears the Knights are up against it.

Tootgarook bowled Ballam Park out for 152 in 61 overs. Jarryd Ward top scoring for the Knights with 29 and Zac Clements scored 28.

Scott Sterling and Matt Whelan each claimed three wickets for the Frogs.

In reply, Whelan has gone to town and scored an unbeaten 54 in 19 overs.

Toogarook will resume at 1/75.

The evergreen Jason Mathers wound back the clock a decade or two on Saturday, scoring 120 for Rosebud as they amassed 310 against Tyabb.

With Billy Quigley (61) getting the team away to a flier at the top of the innings, Mathers strode to the crease at number five with his side in some bother at 3/43. Mathers then put on 153 with Quigley while Jason Nagel

came in at the end and smashed 65.

Frankston YCW’s season is well and truly still alive after the opening day of its match against Hastings.

The Blues won the toss and batted first and set a score of 173. Jake Hewitt was the star with the bat for the Blues with 95, while Isuru Dias hit 27 at the end of the innings.

At one stage, Hastings was 6/75.

Lai Leaunoa opened the bowling for the Stonecats and took 4/25 from 17 overs, while teenager Sam Fulton claimed 3/41 from 14 overs with the new pill.

In reply, the Stonecats are in command at 2/85 with Leaunoa (29) and Jason Bedford (21) still at the crease.

Carrum Downs, currently in fourth place on the ladder, took another jolt in the arm for finals action after Mark Snelling belted 123 against Skye.

The Cougars made 7/294 in 75 overs before sending Skye in for the final five overs of the day.

Skye lost 2/2. Earlier, Scott Rodda picked-up 5/83 for Skye.

Top-of-the-table Dromana still has its work cut out to beat Balnarring.

The Hoppers batted first and made 192 in 65 overs, Jack Fowler top scoring with 51 and Jeff Bluhm scoring 48.

Mitch Kleinig was superb for the Saints with 4/54 from 13 overs while Justin Brown claimed 3/41.

Brenton Taylor will resume on 29 for the Saints as they resume at 1/42.

Australia Day 2016 road closures Mornington Peninsula is hosting many events over the Australia Day period ranging from flag raising ceremonies, children’s activities, parade, fun run and fireworks.

In order to safely deliver the peninsula’s Australia Day program of events, the Shire’s operational plan involves closing roads and carparks with some impacts on local surroundings.

Keepings your pet safe during fireworks AUSTRALIA Day, Tuesday 26 January, will be celebrated across the Mornington Peninsula with various activities, including fantastic fireworks displays at Rye and Mornington.

While most of us will enjoy the festivities, it can be a frightening time for pets.

Many animals are sensitive to the noise of fireworks and can become so distressed that they attempt to escape, resulting in lost and injured pets.

This year’s fireworks displays will show from 9-9:30pm on the Rye Foreshore and at Schnapper Point, Mornington.

Leaving pets in the backyard is not enough to protect them from the effects of fireworks.

Animals have been known to

jump fences or dig holes in a panicked attempt to escape the noise.

The Shire Ranger Team is always willing to discuss the issues of preparedness for a firework event, as well as other aspects of responsible pet ownership. RSPCA Victoria also has some helpful advice on how to keep your pet safe during fireworks and other festivities: • Prepare early • Seek advice from your local Vet. In severe cases of fright and phobias, mild sedative medication can be administered to your pet prior to the event.

• Keep your pet inside for the duration of the fireworks.

• Make sure your pet is exercised and fed before the

Mornington News 19 January 2016

fireworks begin.

• Close all windows and doors to minimise noise and stop them escaping.

• Ensure your pet is wearing appropriate identification and registration tags at all times. Make sure your pet is micro-chipped so they can be returned quickly if they manage to escape.

• Ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable with adequate bedding, blankets, toys and plenty of water.

If you have found an animal, or your pet has gone missing, contact the Shire on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000. Alternatively, visit the Lost Pets section of the Shire website www.mornpen.vic.gov.au/ Animals_Pets

MORNINGTON ART SHOW ART SHOW PROFITS NEARING $1MILLION OVER the 44 years of the Mornington Rotary Art Show figures indicate that the total money raised is close to $1 million.

The figures also show that more than $650,000 has been spent on the Mornington community projects.

These projects are extensive and range from support for pre-schools,

special development centres, student scholarships and leadership programs, the lifesaving club, and scouts to constructions such as the clock tower and several gazebo shelters around Mornington.

The rest of the money has been spent on International Rotary projects such as the eradication

of polio throughout the world, Tsunami relief, and support for bushfire and flood affected communities. Support for Medical research through Australian Rotary Health has also been possible through art show funds. Mornington Rotary is proud that it established Australian Rotary Health for medical research

almost 35 years ago following the vision of Rotarian Ian Scott a local bank manager. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current focus on Mental Health research with an emphasis on preventative mental health strategies.

All funds raised by Rotary are spent on such projects at the local, national or international level. The

art show raises its money from entry fees, the sale of paintings and from costs covered by our generous sponsors.

Perhaps funds from the 2016 art show will enable the $1million mark to be reached.

LAURENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ART RISES TO PUBLIC PROMINENCE LAUREN De Rycke attended Mornington Secondary School where she undertook her Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) in 2015, choosing photography as one of her VCE subjects.

As part of her final artworks, Laurenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographic images titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we destroy nature, we destroy ourselvesâ&#x20AC;? aimed to capture mankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destructive effect upon our environment.

She was spurred on by a disagreement with her grandfather over sustainability issues and set out to create work that would express her ideas. Lauren put in approximately sixty hours to create her pieces which included many hours of location research, travelling across Victoria identifying the perfect

sites to illustrate her environmental message, particularly the industrial areas of Footscray, Morwell, Yallourn, Newport, together with Lang Lang, The Briars, and nearby Mornington Peninsula sites, even the local tip!

The resulting imagery expresses her views on mankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destructive effect on nature and forces us to question in our modern world, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How developed have we really become?â&#x20AC;?

In January 2015, Lauren entered one of her pieces in the Mornington Rotary Art Exhibition where it was awarded first prize in the VCE student category.

From over 3000 applicants, Lauren was then selected as one of only 42 students to have their

artwork featured in the National Gallery of Victoria as part of the Start Up: Top Arts 2015 exhibition. Only young artists who had completed Art or Studio Arts for the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and received a mark of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? or above were eligible to feature in the gallery.

The Start Up: Top Arts 2015 Exhibits were on display at the Ian Potter Centre in Federation Square between March and June 2015.

Towards the end of the exhibition, she was contacted by the office of the Deputy Premier of Victoria, James Merlino, and requested to exhibit her work in the foyer of Treasury Place in Melbourne where it is on display to visiting dignitaries until June.

Indigenous Hip Hop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; More than just a dance

By Melissa Walsh GET ready to be amazed when Indigenous Hip Hop (IHHP) arrives on the peninsula to energise crowds on Australia Day. The interactive hip hop works on the principle of using the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;arts for changeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, focusing on Indigenous young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths, developing their skills and attitudes and working closely with partners to support community development.

The group started about 10 years ago with two young guys, Michael Farah and Dion Brownfield, who wanted to use dance as a medium for change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around about 2006, Dion and I met at a festival in a remote community in WA, and worked out that we had a great opportunity to use youth dance as a medium for change, taking it to remote communities and local festivals all over the country,â&#x20AC;? said dancer and choreographer, Michael of the multicultural group with indigenous and non-indigenous people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically it snowballed to going from five artists and now we have about 40 artists, dancers, music producers, film makers, artists, rappers, singers and we are still doing the work we do which is going to communities, and festivals.â&#x20AC;?

IHHP uses dance as a tool of engagement to have a lot of fun and create awareness around health and the longest living culture around the world which is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not too heavy, it is a celebration, and we focus on the good things that are working for people as well as the reality of drinking, smoking and bullying for example.â&#x20AC;?

IHHP believes that in order to work towards â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Closing the Gapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and address disadvantage faced by Indigenous young people, programs need to support the development of physical, social and emotional wellbeing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hip hop gives young Indigenous people and their communities a voice to not only let their issues be heard but empowers them to find their own solutions. Through its projects, IHHP fuse Indigenous culture and the sub-youth culture of hip hop to engage with and develop skills and confidence amongst Indigenous young people, celebrating Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural diversity,â&#x20AC;? said Michael. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The artists use the power of hip hop, modern dance, music, art and media to engage and develop young people and influence positive change in their lives.â&#x20AC;?

Father Bob comes to Hastings

By Melissa Walsh THE irrepressible Father Bob Maguire will be visiting our humble shores of Hastings this Australia Day as the Australia Day Ambassador. The bright and witty 81 year old might be “walking with a stick” as he says but the brain still goes at full speed.

As one of the finalists for Senior Victorian Australian of the Year 2016 and of course an OAM recipient many years ago, Father Bob’s charismatic character shines through, inspiring the toughest of us.

“I’m looking forward to coming to Hastings on Australia Day and I think Hastings has the advantage of not just being a home but a neighbourhood for people. With its Westernport Bay and identifiable landmarks it is a place that the Indigenous people would say has its own identity which is very important,” said Father Bob. Still heavily involved in raising money and awareness for community issues with the Father Bob Maguire Foundation, Father Bob says we have an obligation to our young people.

“The older generations say we don’t know what’s happened to our young people but it’s because they are disappointed in their lives. We are now seeing a generation who don’t believe they

will have a better life than their parents. So the Aussies now need to be creative with their social philosophies and innovative to create better futures for our children,” said Father Bob. Father Bob says that society needs to be in touch with innovation and evolving all the time and that includes the Catholic Church.

“We all need to be more in touch with what’s going on and the good thing is we have a great bloke at the top of the rung now so we will see good changes in the future.”

For Father Bob being “out there” has been a process of necessity, with his philosophy that we must be involved in the community and help people who are in need.

“I was actually caught between cultures with the 1960s to 80s. In the early days being out there was applauded and in the 80s it was frowned upon, where I was kind of told to get back in your box,” says the Parish Priest of some 40 years.

As far as the Westernport area goes, Father Bob says it is important we try to keep the kids in school.

“It is so important our kids stay in school and get a good education and we must do everything to encourage that. We need to be creative and innovative in our thinking,” he said.
