Running for bright future BONEO Primary School pupils (pictured) are ready to put their best foot forward to help raise funds for a program that is helping ensure the brightest possible future for children with autism.

Light Up Autism Foundation is hosting a three-kilometre fun run this weekend to raise awareness and funds.

The organisation is running a pilot program at Boneo primary assisting six pupils with diagnosed autism spectrum disorders.

Bianca Appleford of the foundation said the fun run was an important fundraising event that would help expand the programs to more schools across the southern peninsula, and the state.

“The results from the pilot program at Boneo have been fantastic and we’d love to see the program expanded across the peninsula,” she said.

“It helps the kids not only academically but also with social skills. They usually find the playground is the most difficult place for them so our program looks at the total integration of pupils into the school program.”

The Light Up Autism Family Fun Run is from 9.30am on Sunday 17 November at Carmichael St, Tootgarook, with bib collection and warm-up starting at 8.30am.

New chairlift by 2015

By Mike Hast CONSTRUCTION of the $14 million Arthurs Seat chairlift could start as early as next spring and be completed before the end of 2015, says project chief Simon McKeon.

Mr McKeon, head of Arthurs Seat Skylift, said it was hoped to submit a “package of reports” to Mornington Peninsula Shire and Parks Victoria before the end of the year.

“If all goes well, we’re hoping to get approval by the end of the first quarter of 2014,” he told The News.

Marshall’s HOLIDAY RENTALS

“We’ll run a tender process with major chairlift makers such as Poma and Doppelmayr, and hope to start assembly and construction this time next year.”

Mr McKeon said it would be manufactured overseas as there was no one in Australia making gondola chairlifts, but the company would use local builders for the top and bottom stations, which would include kiosks/cafes.

The all-gondola lift would arrive in boxes, assembled and lifted into place.

When it opens, it will be more than

nine years since the iconic peninsula attraction last operated.

It was permanently shut down by WorkSafe in May 2006 after the last of three major incidents, which included the January 2003 collapse of one of eight pylons that injured 12 people and stranded dozens more. In March 2004 an elderly woman’s legs were crushed when her chair slid down the cable and collided with another chair.

Mr McKeon said the company had been busy since he addressed a Dromana public meeting in March.

“We’re asking Parks Victoria to invest $1.5 million to improve Arthurs Seat State Park, mainly for extra parking. We didn’t want to race ahead.”

He said there had been plans to upgrade the state park for many years.

The existing parking area at the bottom of Arthurs Seat would be redesigned to accommodate more vehicles. An existing overflow area would be improved.

A new parking area would be needed at the top, he said.

Arthurs Seat Skylift had commis-

sioned reports to go with approval applications, he said.

“We’ve done reports on such things as erosion, fire, acoustics, the environment, and cultural heritage with only the fire plan yet to be finalised.”

He said Arthurs Seat was a recognised “hot spot” and the company had been consulting with the CFA. “We’ll be able to get everyone off the chairlift in seven minutes in the event of a fire,” he said. There would be a large tank of water for fighting fires.

Hospital fails to meet emergency targets

By Chris Brennan FRANKSTON Hospital has been revealed as among the state’s worst-performing emergency departments, failing to meet the majority of targets set by the state government for timely treatment of patients.

Victorian hospital annual reports tabled recently in state parliament show nearly all emergency departments struggled to transfer patients from ambulances within specified time frames over the past financial year.

Frankston Hospital, which is operated by Peninsula Health, was able to transfer patients from ambulances within the required 40-minute time frame just 56 per cent of the time – well short of the target of 90 per cent set by the state government.

This was a key cause of ambulances “ramping” at hospitals and was undermining Ambulance Victoria’s ability to respond to new cases.

Ambulance Victoria data shows ambulance re-

sponse times have gone backward for the third year in a row, with 27 per cent of life-threating emergencies not responded to within 15 minutes and nearly a quarter of ambulance transfers to hospitals taking longer than 40 minutes.

The performance data for the hospital also showed that only 49 per cent of emergency patients were able to leave with four hours, despite a target of 75 per cent, while just 54 per cent of category 2 elective surgery patients were treated within 90 days, well short of the target.

However, Rosebud Hosptial, also operated by Peninsula Health, performed far better, meeting or exceeding most of the treatment targets.

Labor MP Jude Perera said the reports showed patients were suffering at hospitals across the state as they were forced to wait longer for ambulances to arrive as well as emergency care and elective surgery.

Mr Perera, whose electorate takes in a large

portion of Frankston City, said the Napthine government had “lost control” of the health system and accused Frankston independent MP Geoff Shaw of “sitting on his hands and doing nothing” to remedy the situation.

“These documents prove what doctors, nurses and paramedics have been saying for a long time now – that our health system has never been as bad as it is now.

“The state’s health system is struggling to cope and is starved of resources due to $826 million in Napthine government cuts,” Mr Perera said.

“These reports show the government is failing everywhere – in our clogged emergency departments, in providing elective surgery, and through the performance of our ambulance system.

“Frankston Hospital is feeling the pressure too, failing on nearly all of its key indicators.”

The state Labor Opposition also accused the Napthine government of preventing the release of

data detailing falling ambulance response times.

Labor’s Parliamentary Secretary for Health, Wade Noonan, said Opposition request to access the data had been denied for the reasons that the data would “undermine public confidence in the ambulance service” and cause a “downturn in Ambulance Victoria memberships”.

The letter outlining the rejection of Labor’s request also stated that the information could cause a “public controversy”, and could be used in the current EBA dispute with the ambulance union.

“This action by Ambulance Victoria strikes at the heart of the integrity of the Freedom of Information regime in Victoria,” Mr Noonan said.

The Peninsula Health annual report was among dozens of major metropolitan hospital, Department of Health and Ambulance Victoria annual reports to be tabled before parliament on the last day allowable under reporting requirements in a move labelled as a “cynical dump” by the Opposition.

Bidders to shell out for scallop licence

Deadly toll: A women was killed in a head-on crash on Point Nepean Road on 1 November. Picture: Andrew Mackinnon

Six people killed in horror six days on roads A 54-YEAR-old woman who died in a car crash at Sorrento was one of six people killed in six days on Victorian roads in the first week of November.

The woman was one of three people travelling south in a four-door hatch back on Point Nepean Road about 2.45pm on Friday 1 November when the driver lost control and veered onto the wrong side of the road, colliding with a sports utility vehicle that had been travelling north.

The woman, who was sitting in a rear passenger seat, died at the scene while a male front-seat passenger was air lifted to The Alfred in a critical condition. The female driver was taken to Frankston Hospital with minor injuries. The male driver and passenger in the second vehicle were also taken to Frankston Hospital with minor injuries.

The six deaths in the first week of November takes to 113 the number of people to have died on Victorian country roads so far this year, compared to 81 metropolitan deaths.

Assistant Commissioner for roads Robert Hill urged regional road users to stay vigilant, especially in the lead up to the holiday season.

“It’s easy for police to say six deaths in six days for November is disappointing, but that doesn’t even come close to what the families of those six people would be feeling right now,” he said.

“Disappointing would be an understatement – devastated would be more apt. As it gets closer to Christmas we know people are doing more travel, they’re out consuming alcohol and staying up later than usual.

PORT Phillip scallops will be back on the menu after the start of an expression of interest (EOI) process for the licence to a new hand-harvest scallop fishery.

The fishery was announced in September and the EOI process will be followed by a public auction for a single access licence.

Minister for Agriculture and Food Security Peter Walsh said: “The Victorian government is very pleased to offer this exciting opportunity, which will generate local business and employment.

“The development of this new, niche fishery will also provide an additional, sustainable supply of fresh Victorian scallops.”

Mr Walsh said there had been many enquiries about establishing such a fishery following the closure of dredge fishing in Port Phillip in 1997.

“The single licence and a conservative total allowable commercial catch across six subzones will ensure careful management of the resource,” he said.

“Auctioning the licence is a fair, open and transparent method of allocating this public resource given there are no existing rights to the fishery but there have been multiple enquiries made about such a proposal over the years.”

He said existing recreational scallop fisheries in Port Phillip would be protected as the commercial licence holder would be excluded from harvesting in recreational zones.

The EOI process closes on 18 December.

have morphed into more than the simple hearing of simple charges.

The inspectorate’s new legal direction should raise concerns in every council across Victoria.

A wider legal interpretation of conflict of interest has the potential to scare off candidates who could play a useful community role, thus weakening local government. But perhaps a happier result will flow from the case – a narrowing of the definition of conflict of interest.

The Pittock case reveals the vulnerability of councillors – and their communities – to complaints lodged aiming to “fix” the numbers.

Most complaints are simpler, usually involving councillors doing venal or foolish things – lobbying for a road upgrade and the like where a councillor would get an easily discernible benefit.

Less clear are those many areas where councillors advocate on issues with no thought that a personal advantage could be involved.

SPA at two council meetings. Those interested can listen to shire recordings of the meetings – the special council meeting of 19 March last year and the ordinary council meeting of 12 and18 June, also last year. The recordings are on the shire website.

Since the matter is before the court, little more is able to be said about the case. But at a recent pre-hearing in Dromana Magistrates’ Court, the inspectorate sought access to Tonic’s membership list, for possible interviews on how members regard the facility.

It was also stated the inspectorate was now regarding the matter as a test case, looking to establish the limits of the inspectorate’s legislative reach.

Since Cr Pittock is incurring substantial legal costs to defend himself, it seems curious that his prosecutor, backed by state government funds, would at this stage involve him in what appears to

By David Harrison THE year 1641 was a turning point for British justice. It marked the end of the Star Chamber, the court notorious for its secret hearings of anonymous complaints as well as its arbitrary and oppressive methods.

Its name lives on as a pejorative for any tribunal feared for arbitrary rulings. The chamber often heard politically motivated cases lacking either charges or witnesses. Substantial reforms to British law followed its demise.

Now, on a vastly inferior scale but with significant powers, Victoria has the Local Government Inspectorate, a tribunal that acts on anonymous complaints and can prevent a councillor from voting on an issue until an accusation is resolved.

One of the most corrosive complaints that can be made against councillors is conflict of interest.

It stops them from taking part in the democratic local government process – they cannot vote on issues about which the complaint is made – until the matter has been resolved in court.

In a close vote, a councillor’s temporary disqualification may enable passage of, say, a planning application that otherwise would be refused.

A strategically directed conflict of interest allegation can effectively cripple local government decision-making and curb councillors’ ability to represent their community for months, possibly years.

The inspectorate can be a slow investigator.

It states on its website: “Due to the volume of complaints received and the often complex nature of investigations, the investigation process can take some time.”

It assures complainants that “all complaints are dealt with in strict confidence” – that is, accused councillors will probably never know who made the complaint and will never meet their accusers – at least, not knowingly.

Facing your accuser is a central tenet of our law. Exceptions are made but only in special and extreme circumstances.

The powers granted to the inspectorate are without question exercised diligently and responsibly, and with great caution. But it is pinioned by a process that can be grievously misused by malicious or vengeful complainants, especially against businesspeople who become councillors.

A conflict of interest case is pending in Mornington Peninsula Shire. Cr Graham Pittock is awaiting trial in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on charges of conflict of interest because of comments he made on the highly contentious Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, which is proposed to include a gym.

Cr Pittock (pictured) owns a gymnasium and squash courts centre in Dromana, Tonic Squash and Gym. The charges will be heard next March. Cr Pittock has not been able to vote on the SPA, planned for Rosebud, for almost a year – and it will be almost two years between complaint and the March court case.

The complaint alleges Cr Pittock spoke against

Thus they must abstain when a new footpath is built in their street; their colleagues must in their absence approve funding for an interstate study trip. But the entire council votes themselves pay rises. Conundrum after conundrum!

Businesspeople are especially at risk; so, to a lesser degree, are those with extensive community interests outside council.

The mayor, Lynn Bowden, declared a conflict of interest during recent discussions on the Dromana quarry tip proposal because her husband Ron Bowden is chairman of waste management company SITA’s Taylors Road Landfill community engagement steering committee.

Cr David Gibb, on the board of Toorak College and owner of a share portfolio, leaves the chamber when such matters are discussed. So do other councillors where similar conflicts might arise.

Anyone can complain to the inspectorate and remain anonymous. However, “the Inspectorate prefers to communicate with complainants to obtain further information and evidence and provide outcome results ... Details of the complainant will not be released by the Inspectorate”.

The complainant “is entitled to be represented by another person and can exercise their privilege against self incrimination”, the inspectorate’s website states. This seems to mean the complainant may not even have to come faceto-face with the inspectorate.

Prosecutable offences under the inspectorate’s purview include corruption, misuse of position, bribery and undue influence, conflict of interest, disclosure of confidential information, and various election-related matters.

Senior council officers can also be investigated by the inspectorate.

Conflict of interest prosecutions of councillors appear to be rare. Only six are listed on the relevant government website from 2009 to 2012.

Five councillors were found guilty – one on three charges. Two of the guilty had no conviction recorded. One was found not guilty.

The triple conflict of interest offender was Andrea Marian of Ararat Rural City Council. The magistrate found that her “contraventions constituted a fundamental failure of her duties as a councillor and those that she represents”.

Fined $10,000 plus costs, Ms Marian appealed against the severity of the sentence. She lost the case, heard in August 2012.

County Court Judge Sue Pullen upheld the fine and costs, then disqualified Ms Marian from nominating or acting as a councillor for seven years and ordered her to pay the costs of the appeal.

“I don’t know how it could have crossed your mind that [your behaviour] was an appropriate way to conduct yourself as a councillor,” Judge Pullen remarked.

For details of the conflict of interest cases, go to www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/localgovernment/ Compliance-and-Complaints/complaints-andinvestigations/prosecutions Disclosure: I am a supporter and admirer of Cr Pittock. He is, in my opinion, one of the better councillors.

Start in sight: Artist’s drawing of the Arthurs Seat chairlift top station released by the preferred consortium headed by Simon McKeon in May 2011. No new drawings have been released as yet. The viewing tower at right will be built in stage two.

Arthurs Seat chairlift ready in 2015 Continued from Page 1 A lookout tower would be built as part of stage two.

“We’ll get the chairlift up and running before considering the tower.”

The project will require clearing of a wider corridor up the mountain.

The existing corridor is 8-10 metres wide. Mr McKeon said the gondola lift would need about 14 metres.

Trees would be planted after the chairlift had been installed, he said.

“We want to plant as close to the chairlift as possible.”

He said Skylift had identified private land next to the state park and would offer it to Parks Victoria as a so-called vegetation offset for any clearing.

Arthurs Seat Skylift was selected by

the Brumby Labor government in October 2010 to build a chairlift. It was given a 50-year lease, which required an amendment of the National Parks Act. At the time, it was hoped the chairlift would be operating by 2013.

Mr McKeon said Skylift hoped the chairlift would be used by a wide variety of people including senior citizens, people with a disability and students.

The gondolas would enable people to ride up the mountain in varied weather conditions. Skylift is aiming to capture the mid-term, midweek market, not just summer.

CSIRO chairman – said there would be no problem raising the capital. There were four shareholders: Mr McKeon, former aircraft maintenance engineer Hans Brugman and two other men, one of whom is a friend of McKeon’s.

Meanwhile, former chairlift operator Richard Hudson told The News he was still negotiating to install the old chairlift in the Adelaide Hills.

He said “the machine is in a Dromana workshop and has been upgraded”.

The proposal was being considered by the SA government, he said. It had the backing of SA Opposition Leader Steven Marshall.

A proposal to build a new one was being considered by Adelaide Hills Council.

Deathrow mums forge kitty co-op

By Chris Brennan A PENINSULA cat rescue organisation has encountered an “extraordinary” partnership between two young mother cats who are sharing parenting duties for their new-born kittens.

“I’ve never seen anything like it before,” Peninsula Cat Rescue president Joy Herring said of the highly unusual interaction between the two felines.

“Mother cats can kill each other fighting to protect their babies and we normally have to be very careful to keep them totally separate.

“But these two seem to share a special bond and have taken to sharing the parenting duties together. One of them does the cleaning and the other does the feeding.”

The two mother cats were among 14 adult felines rescued from a country property about four weeks ago. One of them gave birth en route to Peninsula Cat Rescue carers, but only one of her kittens survived.

The second cat gave birth about an hour later, with two kittens surviving, but the stress from her ordeal meant she was unable to produce enough milk to feed them and she appeared to reject them.

Carers placed the seemingly rejected kittens with with the first mother, who was producing ample milk, and she accepted them as her own.

But the second mother appeared to be pining for her “lost” babies and began “crying” in anguish.

“So with great trepidation and close supervision, we opened the door to where the other mother cat was caring for the babies to see what would happen,” Ms Herring explained.

“She immediately went over to the kittens and started licking them, and then the mothers touched noses then started licking each other, and then the babies together.

“It was very strange and totally unexpected.

No one I’ve spoken to has ever heard of any-

thing like this happening.

“Now they’re like a family together and share the parenting duties. They are both very young, probably only about 9 months old themselves, and they were on death row together so that might explain their unusual bond. It’s as though

they understood what was going on.”

The three kittens are now about four weeks old and “thriving” under their merged family arrangement.

Laidback style a key element of our country court A RETIRED barrister friend from the Parish of Mornington went to Dromana court house Wednesday arvo to check on a case he was doing on Thursday for a friend, pro bono, as is his want.

He travelled by bus and on arriving found the court coordinator sitting in a deck chair outside the court, with other uncomfortablelooking people hanging around her.

What’s going on? asked the retired barrister.

“We can’t get in,” she said. “I’ve lost the keys. Replacement keys are coming from Frankston. Are

you here on a case,” she asked.

“Well no, I came on a bus,” said our friend, astounded by the situation.

Others standing around said they were witnesses in cases due to he heard and had taken the afternoon off to appear.

The magistrate was nowhere to be seen, possibly sitting in his motor car with the air-con running.

The coordinator asked our friend if he was appearing tomorrow in the same clothes, presumably so she’d recognise him. “No I’m coming in Speedos,” he joked. (It was getting silly by this time.)

There was discussion about where she might have put the keys. Apparently no one thought to ask the defendants if one was skilled in burglary.

Our friend say it was a good thing he didn’t know any local journos. The woman groaned. But of course he did.

Only in Dromana, said our friend, shaking his head as he headed for the bus stop to return home.

Keynote: The keys were found in the coordinator’s car the next day.

Melbourne and surrounding areas switch on 10 December 2013* The analog TV switch off is happening on 10 December 2013* – and there’s no turning back. After this date you won’t see anything if you’re not ready for digital-only TV.

What do I have to do?

Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner.

Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to.

Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling.

If you have any other questions, or to find your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.

Don’t put it off any longer. Get ready for digital TV today. *Please note: switch off may occur earlier in some towns. Residents in these towns will be informed about the switchover dates. See the website for more information.

Beware march of menacing alien invader

Halfway to Christmas target FOOD For All is almost halfway to its 2013 Christmas Appeal target of $55,000.

The southern peninsula-based group’s coordinator Diane Falconer last week said the total was close to $22,000 after “a generous donation from the Southern Peninsula Commu-

nity Fund Opportunity Shop in Rye”.

“Last year our volunteers made up 437 Christmas hampers with food and treats for children and adults,” she said.

Schools and groups including Rosebud CWA were busy covering hamper boxes with Christmas decorations.

Collection bins for non-perishable

goods are at Woolworths in Rosebud, Rosebud West and Rye; Coles in Rosebud, Ritchies in Dromana, and most local churches.

Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible and can be sent to Food For All, PO Box 440, Rosebud 3939.

PENINSULA gardeners have been warned to be on the lookout for Disa bracteata (the African orchid or perennial African weed orchid), a new and emerging weed in the region.

It is extensively naturalised in western and southern Australia and is now marching menacingly eastwards.

There are small populations on French Island, at Devilbend Reserve and Greens Bush and the plants have most recently been found beside Point Leo Rd in Red Hill.

It is a pernicious, self-pollinating, colony-forming weed with quantities of dust-like seeds with the potential to become widespread very quickly.

Paul Gullan of Viridans Biological Databases warns that African orchid is a ground orchid growing to about 30cm with small yellow, green and brown flowers arranged in a dense spiral on fleshy stems.

It is known from a range of disturbed woodland, heathland and grassland environments of lowland Victoria but its full geographic and ecological potential is yet to be determined.

African orchid was first formally recorded in Victoria near Bacchus Marsh, west of Melbourne, in 1994, but was noted by some botanists a few years earlier, and has since been found in about 25 localities in the western half of the state.

The first Australian record was from WA in 1944. In 1988 it was discovered in SA, and there has been a single record for Tasmania.

Sneaky invader: The African orchid or perennial African weed orchid is streaming across Victoria.

Mr Gullan said there is no clear evidence on how African orchid has become established as a naturalised alien but the assumption is that it escaped from private cultivated collections.

If this is true, it probably did not happen very many times as the species was not commonly grown.

Orchids are well known for the range of adaptations to specific environments and insect pollen vectors, and it is these that have made them fascinating to botanists and horticulturalists for centuries.

It is the lack of specific adaptations that has allowed African orchid to become a successful invader in Australia, growing almost anywhere, especially on disturbed ground, and reproduces in large numbers.

Old ritual for a safe season on the water BOATS from the Coast Guard, Victoria Police, Victoria Marine Rescue, lifesaving clubs and the SES were blessed by the Venerable Alan Hughes, Archdeacon of Frankston, on Sunday.

The practise, organised by the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association for more than 30 years in conjunction with St Paul’s Anglican Church in Frankston, comes from European fishing communities’ practice of blessing their fleet’s safe return at the beginning of each fishing season.

The event started with a church service at St Paul’s at 10am before participants walked down to Frankston pier.

Frankston Council had arranged a temporary gangway to enable people to walk on to the pier, which is undergoing renovation, expected to be completed by the end of November.

The Frankston Flotilla was the first land-based coast guard HQ in Australia. Commander Anthony Mayall said the annual blessing of the Fleet was a symbol of his flotilla’s preparation to safely provide an emergency service to the boating public on Port Phillip and Western Port.

“We encourage all the boating and fishing fraternity to regularly check the serviceability of their vessel, ensure they have and use appropriate safety equipment, and to the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard App called Safetrx for every trip so if you need assistance, we will be able to locate you.”

The Safetrx App is at Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Shire work could spark bushfires SPRING is when Mornington Peninsula Shire “installs” a tinder-dry incendiary strip along the edges of all the shire’s roads, says a leading conservation group in the region.

Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna Association (SPIFFA) says the use of weed-killer by the shire and VicRoads spraying and killing two-metre woody weeds – and everything around and under them – creates “a bushfire waiting to happen at the last place in the district you need a fire to start: the base of Arthurs Seat”.

“Meanwhile, some of our last biodiversity, on roadsides, languishes under a heavy load of highly flammable annual grassy weeds, boneseed, pittosporums and pines.

“On the Nepean Peninsula, roadside pre-summer vegetation pruning crews merely cut back the abundant and highly flammable woody weeds such as polygala with the indigenous roadside shrubberies even though they have saws and a chipper. Instead, fire-resistant succulents like bower spinach and seaberry saltbush are cut and chipped with the rest “They refuse to touch boxthorn at all. That’s why even freshly pruned roads have African boxthorn (laden with berries) ballooning out toward the road edges.

“Removing most of those roadside weedy ‘fuel’ plants is easily within the current works capability and could be done by properly directed pruning crews. This is not confined to this part of the shire.

“All roadside pruning should also aim to eliminate any woody weeds encountered on the road reserve, even if only for fuel reduction purposes.

“Spraying the same plants year in, year out, usually with the same non-specific (kills everything) herbicide is the sure-fire way to create her-

bicide-resistance in weeds. Everyone with a basic chemical user’s certificate learns that.

“Many drains are sprayed in this shire. Spraying herbicides near a waterway is specifically prohibited on the label and is therefore illegal without a special permit. Spraying drains is spraying near a waterway. Drains are waterways. When it rains, any excess herbicide goes into solution again and washes into a bigger waterway.”

SPIFFA believes that “the sustainable shire” is lagging far behind others in respect of its continued excessive, lazy, “chemical-mowing” use of herbicides like Roundup and wants to see the shire carry out yearly audits of herbicide use and commit to reducing that year by year.

The conservation group also believes that very significant fuel load reductions could be made by managing weeds on roadsides with the proper resourcing and methodology. “This doesn’t need to cost a fortune; it just needs to be expertly informed, systematic and sustained. Herbicide should always be the last resort.”

Rye, St Andrews Beach and Blairgowrie on the Nepean section of the peninsula were included on the list of 42 high fire danger towns in Victoria in the wake of the devastating fires of Black Saturday in February 2009, while Arthurs Seat, with a long and colourful fire history, was not.

It has been stated that the listing was not due to a scientific rating of extreme inherent flammability of this bushland type or the presence of any recent fire history, with research showing that the last known bushfire of any size on the Nepean peninsula was in January 1910.

This part of the peninsula is on the list because of the high number of holidaymakers in shortterm rentals who have no fire plan.

Crackdown: Police and Bunnings staff will be giving away free anti-number plate theft screws. Picture: Yanni

Police clamp on number plate theft POLICE will be handing out free one-way screws at Mornington Peninsula Bunnings stores as part of a campaign to clamp down on number plate theft.

Members of the public can get advice and assistance on fitting anti-theft screws in the car park of Rosebud Bunnings this Saturday from 9ammidday and at Mornington Bunning on Saturday 7 December.

The initiative is part of a three-month operation, dubbed SAFEPL8, part of a joint initiative between the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, Victorian Automobile Club of Victoria, Crime Stoppers and Neighbourhood Watch.

More than 10,000 number plates were reported stolen to Victoria Police over the past financial

year, prompting a call for community assistance to tackle the problem.

Detective Sergeant Rob Clark of Mornington crime investigation unit said the one-way screws were the simplest way to deter thieves from removing number plates.

He said number plate theft was often a gateway to more serious crime, including burglaries, drug dealing and petrol drive-offs.

“We’re asking for members of the public to be vigilant when it comes to preventing number plate theft by fitting one-way screws,” Detective Clark said.

He said any extra time required by a thief to remove number plates greatly reduced the risk of them being stolen.

Search for lost NZ student POLICE and SES rescue teams are continuing the search for the body of a 20-year-old student from New Zealand who disappeared off rocks at Pearses Beach, near Blairgowrie, on Wednesday afternoon after helping to save his friend.

The man’s distraught mother, father and brother visited the site with police over the weekend amid calls for the Melbourne University student be considered for a bravery award.

The man, of Korean descent, was visiting the Mornington Peninsula with two friends when one of them slipped off rocks into rough seas about 2pm.

Sorrento police said the man had bravely jumped into the water and helped his friend

safely back onto the rocks but was then swept out to sea when hit by a large wave as he attempted to climb out of the water.

“He’s helped save his friend’s life in an act of bravery,” police said. “His family and friends are obviously distraught and we’re doing all we can to locate him.

“At this stage we’re treating this as a recovery operation.”

A rescue helicopter arrived within an hour of the incident but was unable to locate the man.

Uniformed police from a number of peninsula stations were joined by the police air wing and divers as well as SES and coast guard volunteers to continue the search over the weekend.

Precious photos taken POLICE are appealing for public help to find laptop computers stolen during a burglary in Rosebud last Saturday.

The victim went shopping with a friend about midday and returned to her Feltham Crt home at about 4pm to find her house had been broken into.

On closer inspection the victim realised that her and

her friend’s laptop computers had been stolen along with medication. The laptop contained a large number of photos of her husband who died earlier this year.

Two laptops, two computer tablet devices and medication was stolen during the burglary.

School fete back after 20 years DROMANA Primary School is bringing back the school fete after an absence of 20 years.

With a focus on good-old fashioned family fun and a nod to the school carnivals of yesteryear, a twilight fete will be held at the McCulloch St school on Friday 22 November from 5-9pm.

It has been organised by the parents and friends committee.

“Money raised will be a welcome addition to the many programs we offer our children,” Dromana principal Martin Page said.

Mr Page said part of the income would go to the school’s sensory garden and “hands-on learning” experiences.

The fete will be run in conjunction with the Chaplaincy Committee’s Christmas market in the nearby hall.

The fete will feature live music by local band 184connexion, carnival rides, animals, Christmas market stalls, CFA demonstrations, face painting, showbags, lucky dips, homemade cake stalls, plants and food stalls.

Pupils have painted handmade wooden signs (pictured) and will run stalls.

Call for catch and release

By Mike Hast ALMOST 2000 anglers weighed-in more than 1800 fish in the Tea Tree snapper fishing competition this month but fishos with an eye for sustainability are calling for rule changes.

Anglers packed launching ramp car parks on Western Port and Port Phillip for the annual event that started in the early hours of Friday 1 November and ended the next day.

Weigh-ins were held at Patterson River and Mornington Racecourse, where prizewinners were announced.

Among the competitors were 218 juniors.

Almost 760 snapper came from Western Port.

The Victorian Snapper Report Facebook page was brimming with reports and comments about anglers â&#x20AC;&#x153;upgradingâ&#x20AC;? their catch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; throwing dead fish back into the water after catching a bigger snapper.

The problem was most prevalent in northern Port Phillip.

Some posts were highly critical of anglers, calling those who had thrown away fish â&#x20AC;&#x153;greedyâ&#x20AC;?.

Others asked anglers who had seen people â&#x20AC;&#x153;upgradingâ&#x20AC;? if they had recorded boat rego numbers.

Another said anglers who had not caught fish should go to Fawkner Beacon and collect a snapper from the many floating in the water.

The problem is connected to Victorian bag limits of three fish over 40 centimetres and seven smaller fish for a total of 10.

In the mid-2000s, about 6000 fish were caught at one event, angering fishing authorities and environmentalists.

Snapper Point Angling Club thought it had solved the problem of overfishing when it started giving random capture prizes such as boats

with motors and trailers rather than to those with the biggest fish. One angling professional, who did not want to be named, said the club could solve the problem easily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to have catch and release,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The club could issue fish rulers and fishos take a picture on a smart phone and send it to the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prizes could be randomly drawn from phone numbers to encourage participation.â&#x20AC;?

The angling club posted results on its website on the weekend.

Open section winners: Heaviest: David Steen of Carrum (10.26 kg), new Victorian snapper champion.

Second heaviest: Vic Way of Bayswater North (9.43 kg).

Third heaviest: Rob Zenz of Berwick (9.28 kg).

Junior section winners: Heaviest fish: Sofia Howard of Wallan (8.25 kg).

Second heaviest: Harry Dettmann of Coldstream (7.75 kg).

Third heaviest: Jay Derbincat of Hoppers Crossing (6.64 kg).

Random capture prizes: Major prize from JV Marine World, a Quintrex 4.81-metre Fishabout, with a Quintrex trailer, fitted with a 60hp four-stroke motor with power tilt and trim. Winner: Justin Seabrook of Coburg.

Second â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 3.7-metre Quintrex Dart and Dunbier trailer fitted with a 15hp Suzuki two-stroke motor, complete with registration and safety gear from JV Marine World. Winner: Mile Gorgioski of Endeavour Hills.

Third â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from JV Marine World, a Quintrex 4-metre Dart and Dunbier trailer with a 30hp Suzuki two-stroke motor. Winner: Lee Lansdown of Croydon North.

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Grand manor TAKING its name from a suburb in south-east London, Bexley Heath is set in peaceful Balnarring, a world away from its Old Dart namesake and the busy A2 motorway that weaves through it. Totally private, the property is accessed via a tree-lined driveway that slowly reveals a grand, stately home. The house is surrounded by an expansive lawn area and an incredible variety of trees and shrubs that are sure to keep the green thumb of the family happy for many hours. From the wide entry, resplendent with gleaming floor tiles, is a large formal lounge featuring a fireplace with beautiful marble surrounds, a separate study, and magnificent formal dining room with large windows that provide a serene outlook to the ornamental lake. Also on the ground floor is a spacious kitchen with a walk-in pantry and a delightful dining area with garden views through a bay window.

A separate family room opens out to an alfresco timber deck, and along one side of the home is an undercover entertaining area with fabulous bar and barbecue facilities.

There are three double bedrooms upstairs; two share a second bathroom while the palatial master bedroom is complete with an ensuite and spa, and access out to a private verandah. The rumpus room on this level provides handy extra living space or a play area for children. The property measures about 2.75 hectares and the grounds and surrounding outbuildings are excellent. A boat-house style dwelling set on the banks of the lake features a lounge, kitchen and bathroom, and can accommodate up to eight people. There is a cubby house with swings and a slide, and a secondary house with two mezzanines that will sleep a further four to six people. The property is set up for equestrian pursuits, with space for two horse floats. In addition, there are two stables, loose boxes, arena and round yard, as well as many other facilities for a home business. Beautifully private, this tranquil property is surprisingly close to Balnarring village. Be sure to experience the wisteria walk set in a water lily alcove on the lake.

Healthy Living

Helping kids put best foot forward SOME common observations or concerns with regards to children’s feet and legs include: flat feet, growing pains and shin pain.

These are often of great concern to parents, so we asked leading Sports Podiatrist, Dr Paul Dowie from Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, to clarify.

Flat Feet It’s a common misconception that the appearance of flat feet in children, is cause for concern.

This is not always the case. The presence of flexible flat feet in children is usually painless and perfectly ‘normal’ in many cases. In very young children, the ‘fat pad’ in the arch of the foot may give an appearance of a flat foot but this is often not the case.

The important thing to understand is that flat feet are not something parents should worry about, unless there is pain or balance issues.

Children with diagnosed flat-foot deformity will have instability in the foot and therefore foot, arch, heel, or ankle pain.

Excessive rolling inward of the ankles also often leads to lower back, hip, knee, or leg pain. If a child regularly complains of pain and it’s interfering with normal play and leading to inactivity, it should always be investigated by a podiatrist experienced with assessing and treating musculoskeletal issues, optimally a Sports Podiatrist.

Pigeon toe & Out toe The appearance of in-toeing (pigeon toes) or out-toeing (duck feet) may affect the capacity of a child to run, jump or balance well. These issues may be assisted during the developmental years and can be thoroughly checked by a sports podiatrist.

Growing Pains Non-specific growing pains in children and teenagers are a common complaint, often causing deep ache-like leg pain during the night.

Specific inflammatory growing pains can be evident in the heel (Sever’s disease or calcaneal apophysitis) or at the knee (Osgood-schlatters disease). These are often due to overstrain of the growth plates of growing bones, particularly in very active kids. In such cases physical activity should be reduced and a sports podiatrist consulted as soon as possible. With correct management, sporting activities can be continued.

Shin Pain Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), anterior leg pain and compartment syndrome, all commonly referred to as shin splints, are also quite common. Again, these issues should be checked by a sports podiatrist and with proper diagnosis, can often be easily addressed.

If you or your child have any foot or leg pain you can get expert help from Dr. Dowie at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza. Mention this article when booking and get $50 off initial consultations. Call 1300 328 300.

Southern Peninsula News 12 November 2013

Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 November 1913.

VERY unsatisfactory conditions prevail at the new State school, No. 3544. About a fortnight ago the head teacher, Miss Audley, was taken ill, and obtained leave of absence on that account.

For several days, however, no teacher was sent to take her place, and nobody seemed to know when one was expected to arrive. Since then, a teacher from the suburbs was in attendance for a few days only, and during the past week the school has remained empty again, with the result that the children are left wandering about the roads, after having put in an appearance at the school to see if a teacher has arrived or not. *** IN aid of some local deserving cause or charity yet to be named, about Xmas time a high-class concert is proposed to be given in Frankston.

The artists, which will include Melbourne’s best professional artists and theatricals, will be the guests of Mornington Road residents, who will organise and manage the concert. *** THE Frankston Brass Band will play in the street this evening (weather permitting). A collection will be taken up in aid of the uniform fund. The secretary of the Frankston Sports Club (Mr J. A. Benson) desires to acknowledge, with thanks, donations of 10s 6d each from Mr H. M. Collins and Mr L. R. N. Utber. *** MR A. Edwards, of Geelong, has disposed of his cottage in Waterloo Place, Mornington, to Mr J. McLellan, of Three-Chain Road, Moorooduc, at a satisfactory price. *** DURING the Cup Carnival we note from the Melbourne weekly papers that amongst the guests at the Grand Rose, Melbourne, were Major, Mrs and the Misses Campbell, of Amesfield Park, Frankston. *** THE Glideway (Queensland) Sheffield handicap was last week won by the ex-Frankstonite, Frank Jolly. This is the first time he has donned the spike shoes in Queensland since he ran at the last local New Year’s Day Sports. Jolly won his heat and semi-final which he won by a clear yard. *** TENDERS for the publican’s booth and the refreshment booth for the Mornington races, which take place at the Drywood Estate racecourse on Tuesday, December 2nd, close with the secretary, Mr H. Downward, on Wednesday next, 19th inst. Entries for the various events close on Monday, November 24th. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held on Monday last, before Messrs Crawford and Clements, J.P., A. Coxall, for failing to send his child to school the required number of days, was fined 5s. Wm Tabb sued John E. Burke for £2 15s, for work and labour done, but the Bench decided, after hearing the evidence, which was in direct conflict, of both parties, to adjourn the case for 11 days. *** A MEETING of the Mount Eliza Branch of the P.L.P. was held on Wednesday last, Mrs Jas Grice presiding. Miss McDowell explained the objects of the proposed union of the P.L.P. and People’s Party, and it was unanimously decided that amalgamation would be desirable. The name of the Union will be the Victorian Liberal Union, and will consist of Men’s League and Women’s League. *** THE Mornington Schools excursion to Royal

Park took place on Wednesday last. Although it rained incessantly in the early morning, it abated before the train left Mornington, and fine weather prevailed until the afternoon, when a few showers fell. On the whole, the outing was a great success and most enjoyable.

Over 400 adults and children from Mornington and Osborne boarded the special, and a good number were picked up at Moorooduc, Mornington Junction, and Langwarrin. *** THE last of the series of socials held under the auspices of St. Paul’s Club, Frankston, eventuated in the Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday evening last. There was a splendid attendance, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. Mr R. T. Picking acted as chairman, and the following programme was gone through: Orchestral item, Frankston Orchestra; part song, St. Paul’s Choir; song, Miss A. Bowell; song, Mr W. G. Jennings (encore); recitation, Miss Sheridan; orchestral item, Frankston Orchestra; comedietta, “A Regular Fix,” Messrs Elliott, Allan, Hague, Bailey and Ellis, and Misses Williams, Reynolds, Picking and Baxter. After the programme, the chairman thanked those who had so ably assisted, especially Mr Jennings for the trouble he had taken. Supper was then handed round, after which a short dance, which proved very enjoyable, was held. *** CR Geo. Keast, our oldestablished storekeeper, has invested in a handsome Ford motor car. This is, we understand, the first importation of the kind to Somerville, and we wish Mr Keast every success on his new venture. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason conducted a successful sale here on Wednesday. There was a good yarding and good prices were realised.

Cattle were sold up to £6 6s, heifers to £2 2s, springers to £2 16s. Pigs and horses were also disposed of at satisfactory prices. A painful accident occurred to Mr D. McLaurin on Friday last. He was using an axe, which, in some manner slipped, and inflicted. a nasty gash in his instep, which necessitated medical treatment.

We will be pleased to learn of Mr McLaurin’s speedy recovery. *** THE anniversary services of the Methodist Church here was celebrated on Sunday last, when Rev. G. H. Neilson preached three sermons. The 10.30 a.m. service was for the Sunday School children, and the subject of “Spiders” interested them very much. The kindergarten children sat on the platform in their special chairs, and after the service took their places in their classroom, and parents visited them while at their studies. The afternoon and evening services were well attended. A special feature of the services was the singing by an augmented choir in the church. Those who were capable of judging stated that it was the best music given by the choir in the church.

The ‘parts’ were nicely balanced. The anthems rendered were:- “Bless the Lord O My Soul,” “How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sound,” and “ What are these.” Miss Annie Barber tastefully and sympathetically officiated at the organ.

Mrs Alfred Thornell decorated the church in her artistic manner, and the minister publicly commented on the beauty of the decorations.

The collections for the day amounted to £16 odd.

Cr Geo. Keast, our old established storekeeper, has invested in a handsome Ford motor car. This is, we understand, the first importation of the kind in Somerville.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Detour de farce a Claytons detour

By Stuart McCullough CLAYTONS. In the 1980s and beyond, it was said to be the drink you were having when you weren’t having a drink. It assumed that to be in a social setting without a glass in your hand was a form of heresy; right up with shaving your moustache off, failing to own a pair of thongs or being unable to open a beer bottle with your belt.

More than that, it supposed we were a nation of soaks who would rather suck spilled grog from a cardboard placemat than go without and, if faced with abstinence, would go to any lengths to avoid admitting we were on the wagon. Then along came Claytons, a placebo that made you feel a little safer, all the while assuring your friends that you hadn’t turned into some kind of killjoy. But more than just an eerily brown beverage, Claytons became a full-blown adjective.

The adverts may have disappeared, but the meaning has survived to this day. When people use the term now, they’re not referring to a substitute beverage but to something that, despite all outward appearances, falls short of the genuine article. A Claytons effort is not much of an effort at all. To be described as a “Claytons boyfriend” means that you’re only good for show.

A Claytons offer is anything but genuine.

I don’t remember my father ever owning a bottle of the brown stuff.

Instead, we preferred our placebo alcoholic beverages sweeter and with bubbles. It was called Maison and was, more or less, Fanta for grownups. Although it was basically pretend

champagne, our parents still thought it deserved the good crystal glasses.

Maison was a feature at our family functions for decades but, in recent years, I’ve noticed it has receded in favour of the real thing. Maison probably tastes a whole lot sweeter than Claytons, but that’s not enough for it to be used as an adjective. No one ever

speaks of a Maison anything.

For years the term Claytons has had the most hollow of rings. It was once an insult but is, I think, a far more adaptable term these days. Now that we have entered an age in which ordinarily sane people, as well as Fabio, are prepared to declare that they “can’t believe it’s not butter”, it’s clear that

anything goes. For there is a time to be repulsed by fakery and a time to embrace it. After decades of resistance we are now, I think, living in the age of Claytons.

We were heading down to Tyabb for a visit. At the time, work was still continuing on Peninsula Link and, as a result, we were unable to take our normal route. Instead, we were greeted with a big yellow sign that said Detour. That it was directing me away from my normal route was unsettling, but if we ignored the sign and ploughed through a worksite, I figured there was a good chance we’d either be unable to get through or that surprised workers would deeply resent our intrusion. We decided to take the hint and turned left.

The rules of a detour are reasonably simple – you are directed away from your normal route but are returned to it once you’re past the obstacle. These rules have been with us for thousands of years and are well understood.

Understood by all, that is, except for those responsible for this particular detour.

We were expected for lunch in Tyabb, where the Maison runs free.

However, having been diverted at Baxter, we now appeared to be heading directly towards Orbost. The landscape began to change as a canopy of foliage closed in overhead. Clearly we were not in Kansas anymore, much less the greater Baxter region and I began to whisper “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” under my breath. Still, the detour signs continued, directing us further into the wilderness.

It was unlike any detour I had ever experience before. If the road signs don’t bring you back on course, then it’s no longer a detour but a diversion. It was, in fact, a Claytons detour.

Eventually, the road petered out altogether and we were left staring into the face of Bass Strait. I called my father and explained that we had been taken off course. All my brothers and sisters, it seemed, had already arrived and the first bottle of Maison was open. I told him not to wait.

Robert Frost once wrote about taking the road less travelled, claiming that it had made all the difference. At the time he posted those words on his blog, I’d like to think he was probably sipping from a tumbler full of Claytons. In an age of GPS, people take the road less travelled far less frequently than they used to. Granted, life is more efficient that way, but it is less surprising also. Thanks to our Claytons detour, we were forced to travel through areas we otherwise wouldn’t have seen.

Getting blown off course can be strange but it can also give you a new perspective on things. In fact, that’s exactly how the best discoveries are made. If Alexander Fleming had done a better job tidying his lab, penicillin would never have been invented. He’d done a Claytons job only. Thank goodness. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s something worth raising a glass of strange brown liquid to. Cheers. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance THE Rolling Stones’ Sweet Summer Sun - Hyde Park Live is released this week on DVD and Blu-Ray, and Shock Entertainment has given The News a promotional prize pack to give away.

It contains a DVD, Blu-Ray and T-shirt and could be yours by sending your name and address on the back of an envelope to: Rolling Stones Live, MP News Group, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915.

Chronicling the Stones’ triumphant return to London’s Hyde Park with a two-hour live concert, the highlights package includes new and unseen backstage footage.

More than 100,000 delirious fans packed the venue for two spectacular concerts to see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood do what they do best.

The Stones delivered a five star performance packed with hits such as Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Miss You, It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll, Gimme Shelter, Doom and Gloom and Sympathy for the Devil, as well as one or two surprises.

Jagger said: “It was a great gig…

It was beautiful with the sun going down over Hyde Park. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the Rolling Stones’ 50 years than doing it on our home patch in front of 100,000 people on a glorious summer night…enjoy it… we certainly did.”

Richards commented: “Coming back to Hyde Park was like a full circle being drawn, and the band were in top form. We thought what could be more appropriate than having a great summer in London.”

From the second the Stones stepped onto the stage each night, through to the dazzling pyrotechnic display that heralded the end of the show, fans old and new were treated to a nonstop, hit after hit performance, which took them through the Stones’ huge back catalogue. Richards wowed the crowds by weaving his charismatic guitar licks with Wood’s immense

solos, Jagger was on spectacular form, his boundless energy on stage matched by a number of stunning outfit changes, and Watts, the unflappable heartbeat, driving the band on through the set.

Former guitarist Mick Taylor – whose live debut with the Stones took place at the original 1969 Hyde Park concert – joined the band on stage to guest on the bluesy Midnight Rambler and on closing track Satisfaction, while long-term live band members Lisa Fischer, Darryl Jones, Chuck Leavell, Bernard Fowler, Bobby Keys and Tim Ries all added their inimitable flair and finesse.

Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live is the perfect way for concertgoers to relive their memories from the gigs, and for their fans to see the band back where they truly belong: live on stage in their hometown.

The Rolling Stones’ Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live out on DVD and Blu-Ray 15 November. www. shock.com.au

NINE long-lost episodes of Doctor Who not seen since the 1960s have been recovered from a storeroom in Nigeria.

The previously lost shows were among 11 traced to a TV relay station and the find brings back to life an entire six episode story. Archive director Phillip Morris unearthed the programs by looking up the records of overseas shipments of tapes made by the BBC. Mr Morris said: “I remember wiping the dust off the masking tape on the canisters and my heart missed as l saw the words Doctor Who. The newly found stories included The Enemy of the World (1967) and The Web of Fear (1968), both starring Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor. *** AUSTRALIA Post has officially marked the start of the festive season with the release of this year’s Christmas stamps, featuring familiar emblems and the traditional Nativity scene.

“Australians enjoy sending and receiving their Christmas greetings through the post, it’s a more personal and real experience,” said Australia Post Managing Director and CEO Ahmed Fahour.

The two traditional Christmas stamps depict the Virgin Mary and Christ Child and shepherds adoring the Christ Child. They are based on a painting by Australian artist Paul Newton, which is shown fully in the miniature sheet.

The four non-traditional stamps feature familiar Christmas symbols: a Christmas tree, gift, candle and a bell. They are designed by Lisa Christensen of the Australia Post Design Studio.

When choosing Christmas cards, senders should remember to select standard sizes (no larger than 130mm x 240m) to qualify for the 55c stamp rate for Australia and $1.70 (New Zealand), $1.80 (Asia Pacific) or $2.55 (rest of the world) stamp rate

and/or SBS World News viewers; ditto Age readers and behavioural type documentary watchers. I’ve yet to meet a sensible person who does not watch “rubbish” at some time or other. Why should they feel a sense of superiority purely because of any television show? *** MONEY may well be the root of all evil but it surely stands head and shoulders as No1 for true love.

Being “in love” with your darling and love of your children, maybe even your country are high on the list, but money love reigns supreme.

Heart love carries with it hope, fear, jealousy and sweet dreams. True, people regularly say money is not important, but it’s never by people who have none. All about “happiness” perhaps, but no money, no nothing.

Money carries wisdom, honour, fame, graft and respect, earned or otherwise. “This is she on whom the whole world waits hand and foot, the all-powerful and all-ruling Goddess Money. No? Ask Andrew Demetriou. *** HEALTH Minister David Davis is banning smoking at train stations early next year to “improve the health and wellbeing of public transport users”. Pure clear air, apart from thousands of motor vehicles driving past while waiting. Bye-bye passive smoke, a scientific fact according to medical gurus. I commend, indeed

agree with all those people writing to newspapers on climate change backed by substantial scientific evidence.

What bothers me is many of them wrote those same letters on passive smoking where, to my knowledge, there has never been any scientific proof. A strange set of preferences.

Kids living in the streets, families living with poverty, a 15-year wait for public housing and our politicians are concerned about train stops? *** “SMALL business does better under a Liberal government”. I’ve heard this mournful cry for the past 50 years from the many letters to newspapers and some of my “business” friends.

For the life of me I have yet to see evidence of small business owners doing better under either government.

Promises, promises. Maybe they simply “feel” more secure, for unknown reasons. Small Business Minister Bruce Billson is on the job, looking at the 80 per cent market share of Coles and Woolworths.

Expect nothing. *** AS a teenager it was generally accepted among my mates (similar to The Dead End Kids movies of the1930s) that my taste in music (songs, back then) was corny. This opinion remained over the years and survives to this day and I still don’t understand why? I have a spot on Arts About (3RPP 98.7 Sundays 11am to

midday) and nominate a song each week. Same comments - corny?

Recently I nominated Gay Pirates

by Cosmo Jarvis and the comment was “a very hip to the moment artist/ song- very impressed”. Bully for me; I’ve graduated, become arty-farty?

Perhaps I’ll follow with Mario’s Ave Maria followed by Slim Dusty?

Corny? It’s called taste. *** YES, I’m well aware there’s lots to write about on our political front; Tony’s live export switch, ditto the boats, weddings, Julie as Foreign Minister, Christopher Pyne re-writing teaching methods but after a long year of politics I thought I’d give it all a miss for a month. Anyway, it’s amusing reading all those letters from Liberal voters justifying Tony’s every move. *** HAVING said that, our mate Joe Hockey, best known as the Minister for Orchestrated Misinformation (“it’s time now to listen to the Australian people”?) is to axe the mining tax costing us $3.5 million, but not to worry, the cutting of the Schoolkids Bonus, the Low Income Superannuation Contribution and the Income Support Bonus will more than cover our losses. Joe (middle name blow) is in there punching, for us. The more expensive high-income super accounts remain in force. ***

A Grain of Salt THE Melbourne Cup long weekend began the influx to downtown Rye, it’s been and gone for now until the dreaded carnival arrives along with Greeks, Italians, Croatians, Lebanese, Asians, Latvians and Aussies accompanied by Range Rovers, Utes and jet skis. A veritable multicultural mishmash. Funny if we did the switch; 20,000 on a holiday in Melbourne, sashay along Swanston Street, five, six, seven abreast, bugger anyone wanting to pass, eating ice creams, shorts and bare chests for men, bikinis for the ladies, iPhones listening to Sir Cliff Richard, anklebiters and barking Shih Tzus. Trapped all of January, unless willing to risk life and limb on the long drive to Chelsea to lunch with my sisters. Not to worry, a small price to pay for 11 months of relative peace, assuming I can safely walk across the road to the Rye RSL. Think positive! Good for small businesses, Woolworths and Coles, (no specials ’till late February, except for cokes). Welcome all? *** I’M no Big Brother watcher; maybe a few episodes years back was enough. The real fascination is the reaction I get when I occasionally lie and suggest I’m looking forward to tonight’s episode, or whatever. “How can you watch that rubbish?” and the like, mostly with a superior attitude as to taste. This same reaction (though not as harsh) can come from ABC

By Cliff Ellen RANDOM thoughts: Find out who decided to improve packaging on almost everything we buy and jail them. Sleepmaker research into 1,000 people found two out of every three couples end the day by fighting; a simple “yes” would have solved their problems. Do you ever wonder what Eddie Obeid was like as a lad? Comic journalist master hypocrite Andrew Bolt: “Socialism is the refuge of the totalitarian”, on Clive Palmer; “sinister, irrational and a self-serving bully”; again the pot and the kettle. Forty per cent of underperforming teachers is plain nonsense; more accurately 90 per cent underperforming politicians. Leave my mate Ned (Kelly) in peace; he deserves it. A reconciliation game between St Kilda and Collingwood and another free trip for Nicky Winmar? Motive: more money for the AFL – to offset the Irish debacle?

Dobbing in is a cancer, don’t fall for it.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Sorras in box seat against neighbours PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully THE majority of MPCA Provincial matches are in the balance as we head into day two this weekend.

The only match that appears to be all over is between Sorrento and Rye, where the Sharks are just 27 runs away from victory with 10 wickets in hand.

There was one match that was affected by the rain, Crib Point versus Moorooduc. They will play a one-day game this Saturday.

Rye’s ordinary start to the season continued on Saturday against its neighbour Sorrento, bowled out for just 118.

It appeared earlier though that Rye would not make it to 50 after the Sharks took the first two wickets before Rye had scored a run.

At one stage the Demons were 3/5,

before opener Tommy Barrand (12) and Ben Ashworth (27) stemmed the tide.

Skipper Darren Groves then contributed 16 and James Crowe 20, before wickets began to tumble again.

Of the 118 runs the Demons scored, 20 of them were extras.

Ryan O’Connor was the chief destroyer for the Sharks with 4/21 from 16 overs, while AJ King helped himself to 3/33 (including 10 maidens) from 21 overs to give him eight wickets for the season. Chris King claimed 2/35.

In reply, the Sharks faced the last 20 overs of the day and clubbed 0/92, Jedd Flack unbeaten on 36 and Nick Jewell not out 47.

It seems an outright win is on the minds of the Sharks.

Langwarrin old stagers Danny Weare and Mal Coutts saved their

side from a shocking day with the bat against Mt Eliza.

Winning the toss, the Kangas lost early wickets before Weare came to the crease. The left hander made 79 runs to take him past 200 (234) for the season. It was his second half century of the year to add to last week’s 105.

Coutts joined Weare with the score on 6/110 and enjoyed a 48-run partnership with him. Coutts went on to make 46 and help push the total to 210.

Tom’s Baron and Ewing took 3/56 and 3/66 respectively for the Mounties, while Sam Creffield claimed 2/28.

Long Island’s batsmen have plenty of work to do on day two against Mornington.

After their bowlers did the job dismissing the dangerous Doggies for

just 129, their top order wasn’t able to follow suit and will resume at 4/22 this week.

Earlier in the day, Scott Phillips (4/54) and Andrew Tweddle (3/31) were at their best as they rolled the Dogs cheaply.

Jake Pankhurst (36) started well for the Dogs and made his highest score for the season. Jack Heseltine (35) was then required to dig deep after a flurry of wickets. Ryan Martin (14) was the only other Mornington batsman to reach double figures.

Former Mornington skipper Luke Popov stepped right up to the plate when he was given the new ball to defend his team’s score.

Popov removed the top three batsmen in Paul Hartle, Aaron Paxton and Justin Bridgeman to send the Islanders onto the back foot. Stephen Hocking was the other out bastman.

Heatherhill has set Peninsula Old Boys 191 for victory.

A middle order fight back saw the Hills go from 3/15 to 6/152, thanks largely to Nathan Martin (29), Matty Meagher (29) and Randil Gamage (68).

The Hills lost their last five wickets for 38 runs.

Jon Forrest and Dylan O’Malley both snared three wickets each for the Old Boys while Justin Parkes opened with 2/9 from seven overs.

Baxter is in a commanding position against Mt Martha after making 9/246 on their home deck.

Dale Irving (52), Dean Sterry (51), Leigh Patterson (44) and Daniel Warwick (30) all got strong starts against the visitors.

Curtis Stone was the highlight for Mt Martha in what was otherwise a tough day. Stone claimed six wickets to give him 10 for the season.

Parkers continue impressive start DISTRICT

By IT Gully DELACOMBE Park continued its impressive start to the season with a strong batting performance against Hastings in round four of District cricket.

The Parkers won the toss on their home deck and elected to bat against the Blues.

The start was superb for the visitors, claiming the opening two wickets for just 19 runs. Better still, in-form batsman Jon Guthrie and his opening partner Andrew Christides were both back in the sheds.

However, this brought Chris Brittain (71) and Simon Dignan together at the crease. ‘Diggers’ was hampered by injury last season and missed a bit of cricket, however, he proved with an agonising 99 runs on Saturday just how important he is to this side.

Dignan was caught by Brad Watson off the bowling of Luke Hewitt, just one run short of his ton.

Nick Christides then helped himself to 25 to help the home team to 9/268.

Hewitt and Tim Birch were the best with the ball for the Blues with 3/55 and 3/90 respectively. Mitch Floyd opened with 2/12 from his 10 overs.

Seaford had a day out with the bat, scoring 9/257 against Ballam Park.

Skipper Damien Lawrence blasted 103 for the home side while David Laing joined in the run feast with 53.

At the tail, Geoff Smith contributed 33 to push the total past 250.

Matty Roach was the pick of the Knights’ bowlers with 4/82 from 19 overs, while Anthony Joel snared 2/29 and Matthew O’Malley 2/63.

Top-of-the-table Somerville has set Pines a more than reasonable target of 237 for victory.

The Eagles were in some early strife losing their top three batsmen for just one run.

Pines’ opening quicks Nick Wilcox and Brett Remy removed Keith Burdett (1), Nick Marshall (0) and Jack Barbour (0) and the home side was on the back foot.

Thankfully for the Eagles, the

middle order was able to get things back on track.

Ben Delaney (20), Sam Delaney (43), Justin Allsop (57) and Jack Kennedy (55) all ensured that the Piners were going to have to chase a reasonable score to win.

Remy and Ricky Ramsdale both finished with three wickets to be the pick of the bowlers.

Boneo is very much right in its match against Carrum after a good afternoon with the ball.

Boneo lost the toss and was first to take the new ball, which proved to be just fine for them.

The visitors picked up the first two wickets with the score on three and then made light work of the tail to end Carrum’s innings at 9/181 off its 80 overs.

Josh Dent top scored for Carrum with 65, Dylan Steed hit 39 and Shaun Foster 36 to give him 212 runs for the season.

Leigh Janssen was outstanding with the ball for Boneo, picking up five wickets, while Chris Jobling and Cameron Williams took one each.

With less than 200 runs to get at Roy Dore Reserve, Boneo is a real show.

Main Ridge has placed itself in a strong position against Baden Powell after dismissing the home side for just 159.

Scott Millar bowled a whopping 40 overs for the Ridge to return the impressive figures of 3/76, including 14 maidens.

James Abbott bowled 20 overs and finished with 3/17.

Keeper-batsman Sam Mullavey top scored for the Braves with 53, while Rhys Elmi hit 27.

Corey Hand fell four runs short of a century (96) as his Seaford Tigers managed 246 against Flinders.

Hand, along with David James (41) and Warren Junkeer (30), helped the home side to a more than competitive total. Shane Beggs (4/53) was the best of the Flinders bowlers while Nathan Hunt also picked up a couple of wickets.

Dromana gets among the runs SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully DROMANA had an unfamiliar day out with the bat on Saturday to place itself in a commanding position against Tyabb in Sub District cricket.

The Hoppers smacked 7/274 against the Yabbies at Tyabb Reserve, Jedd Savage outstanding with 113. Savage faced 166 balls and hit 13 fours and two sixes to assist his side to its best score in some time.

Mark Whitehead opened the innings and made a welcome return to form after his previous four innings netted just 25 runs. His 53 of 95 balls got his side away to the flier it needed and gave the skipper some real confidence.

Zac Klan made 32 and then Mathew Schelfhout (27) and Jason McKenzie (26) made some valuable runs at the end of the innings for the visitors.

Frankston YCW has set Tootgarook 219 for victory after making 9/218 at Truemans Rd Reserve on Saturday.

A number of YCW batsmen made starts on the weekend, Mathew Lane the best of them with 58, while Peter Wilkins (30) and Paul Bradley (30) were the next best with the bat.

Frankston YCW declared its innings four overs short of its allotted 80 to have a late afternoon crack at the home side.

Tootgarook will resume at 0/5.

In other good news for the Stonecats, father and son Rob and Jason Bedford made their comeback in the Second XI. Jason is not out 11 and Rob is yet to bat.

The match between Carrum Downs and Rosebud will go down to the wire after the Cougars made 193 on Saturday.

Coach resigns

Shane Walford opened the innings with 56 for the home side while Chamara Perera came it at nine and helped himelf to an unbeaten 38. Josh Spittal also made 32.

Brian Doughty was the pick of the bowlers for the Buds with 4/59 from 18.5 overs, giving him 13 scalps for the season, while teenager Pat Nagel made an impression in his First XI debut, snaring 3/34 from 16 overs.

Skye appears to be in a spot of bother against Pearcedale, although we have come to expect all kinds of surprises in Sub-District this season.

Skye was bowled out for just 144, Shayne Gillings doing the job for the Panthers with 4/64 and Chris Dew claiming 2/5. The home side is 0/7 in reply.

Balnarring and Red Hill will play a one-day game this weekend after rain affected play.

MT ELIZA is looking for a new coach after Jason Watts resigned last week.

Watts turned his back on the club after a new committee took over the management of the club at a recent annual general meeting.

A new ticket, headed by former Mt Eliza FC president Dave Morrison, took over the management of the club, unopposed at the AGM. Watts, who took the club to a grand final and the finals in the past two seasons, said he was left with little choice but to resign.

“I was employed by the outgoing committee and we were headed in a certain direction together. I am a loyal bloke and didn’t feel I could continue my role with the new committee,” Watts said.

Morrison said he was left with little choice but to take control of the management of the club.

“It’s important to point out that we all have the best interests of the footy club at heart,” Morrison said.

“If we (the new committee) believed the club was heading in the right direction, we would not have got involved. A number of people had some concerns with the direction and as a result, I agreed, with their support, to stand for election at the AGM. As it turned out, we were voted in unopposed.”

Morrison said the club was currently interviewing for Watts’ replacement and hoped to announce a decision by November 15.
