Winds of change A RETURN to wintry weather did little to dampen the enthusiasm of Peninsula Preservation Group members and supporters at Dromana Recreation Reserve on Sunday afternoon.

Hundreds packed the football club’s rooms and forecourt from 2pm to celebrate the end of the Dromana quarry tip.

The proposal was rejected by the Environment Protection Authority on 13 September and last week Peninsula Waste Management said it would not appeal the decision in the state planning tribunal, bringing to an end the $20 million plus proposal to dump municipal waste in PWM’s old quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment off Boundary Rd over 20 years.

Adults marked the occasion with a few beverages and finger food while children played in a jumping castle hired for the event.

Hundreds of “No tip” signs were placed in a trailer for recycling.

Moves are now afoot to have the quarry land made part of the adjacent Arthurs Seat State Park. See story Page 5.

Outrage over ‘fake’ photo

By Keith Platt AMBULANCE paramedic Terry-Ann Davies is outraged that she has been caught up in claims the ambulance union faked photos to influence its fight for better pay and conditions.

Based at Rosebud, Ms Davies featured prominently in a photo Health Minister David Davies said showed trollies had been pushed together at

Frankston Hospital to exaggerate overcrowding.

Ms Davies has written to the Premier Denis Napthine seeking an apology.

Mr Davis’s claims were countered by critics saying the patients were waiting for care irrespective of whether they were spread out or brought in close together for a photo.

Ms Davies said she was looking after a patient taken to Frankston in her am-

Marshall’s HOLIDAY RENTALS

bulance (MICA) and was unaware that photos had been taken.

“I got swept up in the issue. There definitely were lots of stretchers there,” she said.

People had recognised her in the photo published by Herald Sun and CCTV footage from the hospital.

“It was busy, there were even more stretchers out of shot and that’s not counting people in the [emergency de-

partment’s] waiting room.”

Ms Davies said the hospital would have electronic records of the number of patients waiting for attention or on beds.

“I am glad people are seeing through it [the faked photos claim],” she said.

“We stay with our patients until they get a bed.

“I was there three hours that night and was always close to my patient.”

Ms Davies said the way the photo was used against the union by the state government “could make patients in the Frankston area lose faith in paramedics”.

“The minister seems happy to decimate that trust. The people who photographed the crowded trollies had a noble cause; the minister’s reasons [for releasing it] seem less than noble.”

Access the key to use of council land

By Keith Platt A PRIVATE garden will be allowed to remain on public land at McCrae despite Mornington Peninsula Shire not condoning “illegal use or occupation of council land”.

The difference between the fully enclosed garden and a swimming pool built at the top of a cliff at Mt Eliza by billionaire retailer Solomon Lew appears to hinge mainly on public access.

While councillors were involved in the legal action against Mr Lew, it appears that the decision to leave the garden alone was made solely by council officers.

Demolition of the Lew pool was carried out a year ago.

The shire’s sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said on Friday that Mr Lew’s swimming pool “is significantly different in that the works undertaken not only compromised public access but also compromised the long-term management of the coastal reserve by creating a real and imminent threat to the stability of the cliff top”.

The shire eventually won a battle to force Mr Lew to demolish the pool.

“The actions taken by council at Mt Eliza were proportionate to the risk and necessary to avoid long-term maintenance and management costs to the community,” Mr Atkins said.

The McCrae garden, which includes a steel bridge and paving stones, is enclosed by a hedge, has a locked gate and no public access.

The garden is at the top of a reserve running from Point Nepean Rd to The Eyrie.

Contractors have recently completed a wooden and concrete walkway beside the reserve as part of works to stop severe gully erosion.

The path stops abruptly at the garden, with steps leading up to the roadway.

There is no visible public path anywhere near Mr Lew’s pool, although bush appears to have been cleared and a seat added to the clearing just outside the boundary of a neighbouring property.

Mr Atkins sees the “situation” at McCrae as not inhibiting or restricting public access or creating an “ongoing threat to the stability of the land or its public purpose”.

“Council does not in any case condone the illegal use or occupation of council land whether that land is a public park, a drainage reserve or a roadway,” Mr Atkins said in response to questions from The News.

“However, each case is different and the shire takes a considered and responsible approach to resolving these

matters as individual circumstances dictate.

“Most matters are dealt with under delegation at officer level.”

Mr Atkins said council “does not maintain a publicly available register of known encroachments” on council land.

As reported last week, the McCrae path has been reopened without fanfare by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

A sign erected by the shire in 2010 said the $950,000 (estimated) drainage stabilisation and path construction project had been completed in August 2010.

Last week Mr Atkins said the cost of the project had originally been estimated at $1.6 million including design, project planning, supervision, civil construction and landscaping.

“Expenditure on this project is currently at $1 million with an estimated additional $50,000 required to complete the remaining landscaping and the overall project,” Mr Atkins said.

“The major component of the cost for this project relates to the civil works component that was contracted to be $823,000 with the remainder of the cost to date being spread over the other components of the project.”

Lois and Michelle-Ann are very passionate about this area of the business and are proud to be the largest stockists of breast prosthesis, pocketed bras and swimwear in Australia. The Pink Room is headed

Call into Michelle-Ann for the lastest designer bras and swimwear.

They’re located at 147 Main St, Mornington or phone 5975 3649.

Inspiration for the breast cancer community The journey for women undergoing breast cancer can often prevent them from planning and thinking about their future.

To combat this, Michelle-Ann Swimwear & Lingerie and Advanced Breast Care are launching the Be Inspired. Inspire Others campaign to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Managing Director of Advanced Breast Care, Penny Dudding, said that the Inspiration Project encourages breast cancer survivors to provide hope, encouragement and inspiration to women currently undergoing treatment.

“The shared experience of breast cancer can create a bond between strangers and the purpose of the Inspiration Project is to bring together the local community,” Penny said.

“Every week there are many women

diagnosed with breast cancer, but rather than focus on those statistics we want our friends, clients and their families to be able to concentrate on the increasing rates of long-term survival.”

Penny is an experienced bra and prosthesis ¿tter and has been working with within the industry for over 18 years.

“Working with women who have breast cancer, or are survivors of breast cancer, on a day-to-day basis means we see all spectrums of emotion.”

“We want to be able to give back to our community and the Be Inspired.

Inspire Others campaign is our way of encouraging our clients to embrace the future.”

Michelle-Ann Swimwear & Lingerie owners Michelle-Ann and Lois Mitchell said they are encouraging long term survivors to share a poem,

Push to make quarry part of state park

of Greens Bush, part of 900ha bought by the Green family in 1926. They had used the land for farming but much of the natural bushland was untouched.

In 1986 a public appeal was launched by the Victorian Conservation Trust (now Trust For Nature) to buy the remaining area and Victorians donated more than $1.3 million. Greens Bush is now part of Mornington Peninsula National Park Peninsula Preservation Group president Jacinta Banks said the group would support moves to make the quarry part of the state park.

Ross Trust set a precedent in September when it donated 47ha of bushland at Pakenham to Cardinia Shire.

The trust bought the land in the 1980s for a future quarry but said it was now “surplus to its commercial interests”.

It will be called Hillview Bushland Reserve. The council allowed an adjacent seven hectares to be subdivided into nine residential blocks with profits from their sale going to the trust.

By Mike Hast THE Dromana quarry tip proposal is dead but moves are afoot to make the 18-hectare site part of Arthurs Seat State Park, which wraps around three sides of the quarry land.

The end of the quarry tip came in a statement from Peninsula Waste Management board chairman Ian Vaughan last Wednesday: “Directors have decided not to appeal the EPA’s decision not to grant a works approval for the landfill proposal”.

“A works approval permit was not granted due to some technical concerns, and the fact that Melbourne’s waste management policy is currently under development by the Victorian government and relevant authorities, moving toward a more centralised disposal concept,” Mr Vaughan said.

PWM will now withdraw its planning application made to Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The R E Ross Trust, which owns PWM (and Hillview Quarries), stated the disused quarry had been identified as the next landfill for the region by “government agencies”.

Trust chairman Eda Ritchie wrote to lead objector Peninsula Preservation Group: “It was our belief that with high-quality construction and management, this was a community service which was important, and it would also be a significant source of income for the extension of the work of the Ross Trust, which makes a difference to many disadvantaged people, and of which we are very proud.”

Last week Ms Ritchie said the quarry was a disused industrial site and was not appropriate to become part of the state park.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon told The News there was “an overwhelming sense of relief among a large section of the community”.

“I’m glad it’s now finished,” he said.

Mr Dixon said it was the trust’s call as to the future of the quarry. “I’m happy to sit down with the Ross Trust and PWM to look at the options.”

The MP said he was happy to do the groundwork for the state government to possibly purchase the quarry land.

It could be returned to its natural state and there could be limited public access such as walking trails, he said.

Asked about precedents for the government buying land for parks on the peninsula, Mr Dixon cited Greens Bush in Boneo and The Sisters historic settlement site at Sorrento, “although The Sisters did not happen”.

In 1975, after lobbying by the National Trust and conservationists, the state government bought 500 hectares

Author delights Nim’s readers PENINSULA author Wendy Orr was kept busy on Sunday last week at a special screening of the film Return to Nim’s Island at Rosebud Cinemas.

The screening was held to raise funds for Peninsula Preservation Group, which has been opposing the proposed rubbish tip in an old quarry at Dromana. The tip project has been

abandoned but the screening went ahead with the group planning to use money raised for future projects. Ms Orr, who lives in Red Hill, supported the group’s anti-tip campaign.

Return to Nim’s Island is based on Ms Orr’s book Nim at Sea and is a sequel to the 2008 film Nim’s Island.

The second film stars Bindi Irwin,

the 14-year-old daughter of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, and Matthew Lillard, Toby Wallace and John Waters.

New career for CFA veteran

Call to arms for firey observers

By Chris Brennan A VETERAN of the Rosebud CFA with almost two decades service is about to retire from active duty.

After attending hundreds of fires and emergency callouts, the brigade’s trusty 1995 Mitsubishi Canter truck is now ready for a new role in the private sector.

The emergency response vehicle was replaced with a new $350,000 pumper truck in February following years of fundraising by the brigade.

Rosebud CFA Third Lieutenant Josh Elliott-Batt said the vehicle had its own on-board generator supplying 240 volt power points and would be ideally suited to a tradie.

“It’s come to the end of its useful life for us but it has served as really well so we’d like to see it move on to someone who’s going to put it to good use,” he said.

“The main market for secondhand vehicles similar to this is for tradies or it would be good for someone needing a service vehicle such as a mobile mechanic.

“There are a few vehicles like this one out on the road but they generally all have their own idiosyncrasies; some have a pump and water tank on board whereas this one is fitted out with a generator and lockers with 240volt power points, so it’s ideally suited to someone needing an independent power supply and lockers to store all their tools and equipment.”

Despite it having been in service for close to 20 years, Mr Elliot-Batt said the vehicle had only 26,000 kilometres on the clock and had been well-main-

HAVE you ever wondered how fire authorities determine the level of fire danger on any particular day or what influences the declaration of a total fire ban?

The CFA relies on a network of data gatherers to collect vital information that helps determine fire danger levels in communities across Victoria, and the authority is looking for a further 200 volunteers to join its ranks.

While satellites and high-tech weather predicting technology helps, some of the most effective data still comes from volunteer ground observaters who report regularly on grass dryness in the lead up to and during the fire season.

The information helps fire agencies determine fire danger ratings, total fire bans and when to begin the fire danger period, which marks the summer bushfire season in a particular area.

CFA scientific officer Jude Alexander said grassland data has been captured in this way since the early 1980s.

“The data helps fire agencies assess the bushfire risk on any given day, prepare for bad days and warn the public,” Ms Alexander said.

“This is key data needed by the fire agencies to help protect the community.”

“Grassland observers make a weekly observation of the state of the grass then report that information via a free call or by an online log-in to the CFA,” she said.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer can find out more by emailing grassland@cfa.vic.gov.au, calling 1800 100 168 or visiting www.cfa.vic. gov.au/grass

tained by CFA mechanics. At $19,000, he said it was a bargain.

“It’s past the end of its useful life for us,” he said. “The CFA likes us to move vehicles on when they’re coming up to 20 years of service, so being a 1995 model, we’re fast approaching that.

“But it still has many years of service left in it and we want to see someone get some good ongoing use out of it.

There’d be nothing worse than seeing it rusting in a paddock somewhere.”

Mr Elliot-Batt said the brigade’s new vehicle had allowed of a shift of role for the service.

The money raised from the sale of the Mitsubishi would help further modernise the CFA’s operation.

“We’ve already earmarked the money from the sale of the truck for

a number of things including computers for the vehicles that will allow us to get better information on the way to jobs as well as do advanced mapping, identification of water sources and that sort of stuff.”

Anyone interested in inspecting the vehicle can visit the Rosebud CFA at 99 Boneo Rd or call 5986 1358.

Worried by photo: Ambulance paramedic Terry-Ann Davies at her Hastings home before driving to Rosebud for a 14-hour shift. Picture: Yanni

Ambo upset by ‘fake’ photo Continued from Page 1

Ms Davies, a paramedic for 10 years, praised hospital staff for trying to provide beds as soon as possible.

She said Ambulance Victoria was investigating the taking of the photo and she had been interviewed as a witness.

“In the photo of me in the Herald Sun, I am clearly attending to a patient who is being sick at the time so have been distressed to be accused of not caring for my patient … and would not want my community to think I am unprofessional and not taking proper care of patients.”

Ms Davies said the photo was misleading and “appears to be a smoke screen for the release of bad surgical waiting list”.

She believed Mr Davis “foolishly misled” the public in the “stretcher shuffle beat-up in a district that affects the balance of power for the Liberals”. (The government is seen to be clinging to power with the support of independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw).

“The minister knows exactly how many stretchers were at Frankston emergency department that night,” Ms Davies said.

He knew when they arrived, how closely together they arrived, when they were triaged and when those patients were allocated beds.

“The minister also knows from viewing unedited footage of the evening that the number of stretchers was not manufactured and the view from the opposite angle showed even more stretchers than the footage he elected to cut and paste.

“Mr Davis accused paramedics of using patients as fodder yet he had no hesitation in showing the very same patients when it suited him and threw paramedics under the bus to boot.

“The Premier now has a very hot potato about to land in his lap as his health minister has maligned paramedics in the Frankston area and used Frankston patients and families to attack paramedics during wage negotiations at a time when a very vulnerable Geoff Shaw may wobble off his perch in the Frankston district, leaving the balance of power up for grabs.

“The people of Frankston will ensure the Premier and any Liberal-backed candidate that stands pays the price of this deception.”

Frankston line trains ‘out of loop’ NEW data released last week shows trains on the Frankston line are bypassing the City Loop on a regular basis, Cranbourne MP Jude Perera said.

Mr Perera said Public Transport Victoria’s quarterly service report for April to June 2013 showed more than 1200 train services had bypassed the City and Altona loops – nearly double the previous reporting period.

“These alarming statistics are further evidence that the state government has dropped the ball on public transport in favour of its dud $8 billion tunnel,” Mr Perera said.

“The Public Transport Victoria report confirms that trains on the Frankston line bypassed the City and Altona loops 169 times

for the term of April through to June 2013.

“What Frankston line train users know is that public transport is overcrowded and is failing because Premier Denis Napthine only has one transport focus and that is his dud $8 billion tunnel that makes further public transport investment decades away.

“Mr Napthine won’t invest in making public transport a priority in our local area; it is getting worse and it won’t get any better under his government. Frankston line commuters have a right to be upset at Transport Minister Terry Mulder’s claims in 2011 that he had ‘fixed’ Victoria’s transport system when the reality is it is getting worse.”

Wine away time on art trail

By Keith Platt MOOROODUC artist Mim Smallman has a studio with a vineyard and garden attached.

For a few years she juggled time between the garden, the vineyard and the studio. “But that’s it for now,� she declared to husband Rod, and is devoting her energies “full time� to her art.

Over the weekend of 26 and 27 October, Smallman’s studio in Stumpy Gully Rd will be on the map as part of the Peninsula Studio Trail’s open weekend.

Preferring to work in oils, Smallman does not mind what her subject matter is: landscape, still life, portraits or abstracts. “I’ve no preference; I’m always open to where my mood goes,� she said. “I have a passion for working in oils – I like a strong palette.�

Much of her output is commissioned, with most clients being recommended by “word of mouth�.

Visitors will be able to walk around the garden and Mim’s Vineyard as well as sampling some of the Chirping Bird muscato and shiraz made from vines she planted in 1999.

Smallman dates her love of painting back to early childhood, watching her “hobby painter� father work with watercolours. “Most of my childhood was spent

living in at least a dozen places around country Victoria [and] I ended up at Gippsland Institute doing fine art,� Smallman states on her website. “After taking a break from painting and raising my three boys [now aged 21, 24 and 26], I naturally went back to my creative side and have been manic ever since, studying and perusing art all over the world. “I have spent this time gathering insight and methodology in order to paint the best possible art.�

Three years ago Smallman painted a series of portraits of Melbourne models, including six of Rhys Uhlich, who has since gone on to a career in television (Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation, The Circle, Neighbours and Coxy’s Big Break). “I loved capturing Rhys in a painting; he generously gave me his time and support. He has extraordinarily handsome features and so many wonderful looks that I’ve done six paintings of him ‌ I wanted to capture his free spirit with the love of surfing and natural surrounds. “And I’ve never had so many budding women artists offering their help with this project.â€?

Studios open 10am-5pm on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 October as part of Peninsula Studio Trail open weekend. Details: www. peninsulastudiotrail.org/

Super fun times hit peninsula airwaves believes radio can take over where commercial television programming leaves audiences wondering what to do with their evening. “If you don’t like to cook, renovate or watch rednecks kill things, you can turn on the radio, or computer, and stream or podcast programs from anywhere in the world,� he said. “These days I’m more inclined to turn off the TV, drop the iPod in the dock and listen to the ABC, BBC, American Public Media or RPP. “It does wonders for the imagination to kick back in a darkened room and listen to Garrison Keilor’s News from Lake Wobegon or Radio 4. “And now you can climb aboard each week as the Island King crew take you on an Australasian adventure.�

The Wedge and Offspring star Kate Jenkinson has teamed up with friend and long-time colleague Rebel Wilson to play Kendall in the new sitcom Super Fun Night, which was launched in the US earlier this month.

The program, which screens in prime time on Amercia’s ABC network, is scheduled for Australian release by Channel 9 early next year.

Island King will air on RPP-FM on 98.7FM on Thursday 31 October on Drive at 5.05pm. It will run for 13 weeks.

ON-air drama is set to hit Mornington Peninsula radio station RPP-FM and Super Fun Night cast member Kate Jenkinson will be at the centre of the unfolding mystery.

The community radio station is turning to drama to liven up the airwaves, with a new weekly radio serial produced in its Mornington studios set to begin later this month.

Island King follows the Australasian adventures of Will King and the crew of the 80-foot ketch Catriona in the murder mystery series.

Starring Andrew Curry, Nick Farnell, Doug Tremlett and Kate Jenkinson, the 13-part series gets off to tempestuous start in postwar French Polynesia and comes to a tense finish in Portsea.

Island King writer writer and director Peter Swan of Mt Martha wants the radio drama to remind listeners that the airwaves are still brimming with potential. “I think it’s time for some variety on the air,� he said. “Drive-time programs all seem to have the same fast talk, phone-ins and music. If I was a programmer looking for cut through, I’d be thinking about enhancing my offer with some different shows. “Crawling along the Monash Freeway might be made less painful with some well-produced drama or comedy.�

RPP manager Brendon Telfer said the station was keen to do its bit to help break up the monotony and

Rally to oppose port coal plans

By Mike Hast WESTERN Port region’s peak environment body will hold a rally on Hastings foreshore next month protesting the proposed Port of Hastings expansion including plans to export coal.

The Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council, one of the oldest “green” groups on the peninsula, founded in 1971, will mark out a symbolic area on Fred Smith Reserve for a coal-drying facility.

The reserve, part of the town’s reclaimed foreshore, runs from the bowling club to the pier.

The rally has been dubbed “No coal port for Hastings; no port expansion for Hastings”.

Protection council president Karri Giles said coal ports had been proposed for Hastings as well as in Gippsland at Ninety Mile Beach (McGauran’s Beach) and Corner Inlet (Port Anthony).

“We don’t want Hastings to be a coal port and there are many people in the region, not just environmentalists, who agree with us,” she said.

Proponents of so-called alternative brown coal products such as pellets (briquettes) and fertilisers are lobbying all levels of government for a rail line and port to export Latrobe Valley’s brown coal.

They are seeking a way to export 30 to 50 million tonnes annually in the next 15 years.

Early studies have the Ninety Mile Beach option in front of Hastings and Corner Inlet for coal proponents.

The Ninety Mile Beach option has been costed at about $3 billion but the

state government has committed to expand the Port of Hastings, which is likely to cost at least $10 billion.

Ports Minister David Hodgett reportedly said Hastings was “clearly of the most benefit to Gippsland’s position”.

“The shorter you have to move freight, the more cost-efficient it is but you can’t have ports dotted along the coast just because it is more convenient for companies to get the freight to water,” he said.

Karri Giles said one of the coal companies, Exergen, wanted to removed water from Latrobe Valley’s brown coal (to make it nearly as good as NSW and Queensland black coal) and pipe the “dewatered” coal in a slurry pipeline from Gippsland to Hastings.

It would undergo secondary dewatering at a Western Port location before being loaded on to ships for export to India, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries.

In 2011, Exergen said Crib Point jetty, which is owned by the state government, was “grossly underutilised” and would be “suitable for use, thus keeping additional infrastructure requirements to a bare minimum”.

Companies around the world are experimenting with ways to “dry” brown coal to cut its emissions when used in power stations.

Proponents of drying coal say it can reduce moisture content from more than 60 per cent to about 25 per cent and cut emissions when burned by about 30 per cent.

Ms Giles said Mr Hodgetts told a recent meeting with Blue Wedges Coalition (a coalition of 65 environment and

Eyed off: Persistent rumours about Western Port being a destination for coal products from the Latrobe Valley continue with Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council holding a rally in Hastings next month to oppose coal plans.

other groups opposed to development in both Port Phillip and Western Port) there would be bulk exports through the Port of Hastings.

“The draft Gippsland freight strategy states Gippsland being connected to Hastings by rail would enhance its exports including coal products,” Ms Giles said.

Last year, Hastings MP Neale Burgess said there would be no heavy industry at Crib Point under a Liberal-

Nationals Coalition government after The News reported the exporting of dried brown coal from Crib Point was possible due to growing demand for energy from developing economies.

Both state and federal governments are backing companies developing technology to dry brown coal and convert it to fertiliser and briquettes.

Crib Point is one of only two places in Australia with vacant industrial land next to a deep water jetty. The site is

jointly owned by Shell and Exxon Mobil through a company called Crib Point Terminals, which has no plans for the site.  Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council “No coal port for Hastings” rally, 2-3.30pm, Saturday 9 November, Fred Smith Reserve, Hastings (end of High St).

Big Day Out beckons for area bands

Con men ready to spring into action

MORNINGTON Peninsula bands are being offered the chance to win the gig of a lifetime, performing alongside some of the biggest bands in the world at 2014 Big Day Out. The entry period for the Headspace Big Day Out band competition opened last week to up and coming youth bands from across the country.

Four winners in each state will be invited to play on the Headspace stage at Big Day Out concert in their closest capital city.

Entries, which close on 27 October, can be lodged online, with bands asked to submit an original song, a picture and short bio.

Members of the public then have three weeks to vote for their favourite band, with the most popular going onto a shortlist.

An industry panel will select four winners from each state.

Mornington Peninsula band Monoxide said winning a spot to perform at Big Day Out would be a great opportunity to elevate their status.

“For us, playing on the Big Day Out stage would be the greatest opportunity of all time; it would be incredible,” Monoxide lead singer and guitarist Joseph Dipisa said.

Big Day Out CEO Adam Zammit said it was exciting to be able to offer such a unique opportunity to up and coming bands.

“Not only are we giving young musicians a chance to shine nationally and internationally, but also we are

POLICE and Consumer Affairs officials have warned homeowners to be on the lookout for travelling con men offering cheap deals for odd jobs.

Crime Stoppers Victoria and Consumer Affairs Victoria have warned Mornington Peninsula residents to be especially wary of “today-only” deals over the busy spring renovation period.

Minister for Consumer Affairs Heidi Victoria said cheap, shoddy work on houses could cost much more in the long run.

She said travelling con men become more active with the arrival of spring, targeting homeowners as they started to look at ways to repair or upgrade their properties.

“They doorknock for work such as painting, roof restoration, driveway work and tree-lopping and put you under pressure to agree to get the work done immediately,” she said “Sometimes they even drive you to bank teller machines to get payment upfront.

“If you suspect a travelling con man is knocking, don’t open your door, but if you do speak to them, ask them to leave. If they refuse, they’re breaking the law.”

Residents are being asked to record as much information as possible about suspected con men, such as the name they use, physical description and vehicle make and registration details.

Crime Stoppers Victoria chief

Big opportunity: Monoxide lead singer and guitarist Joseph Dipisa is keen to hit the Big Day Out stage.

Day Out will help us reach thousands of young people,” he said.

“We want to improve the lives of young Australians, so we need to make sure they know there’s youth friendly support available.”

Headspace also runs FReeZA, which hosts popular regional Push Start Battle of the Bands competitions.

driving attention to Headspace centres and the critical the work they do for the state of youth mental health in Australia,” Mr Zammit said.

Headspace CEO Chris Tanti said initiatives such as the Big Day Out band competition helped put mental health on the agenda in a way that made sense to young people.

Better eating beckons A WORKSHOP that aims to improve dietary habits will be conducted by naturopath and nutritionist Melissa Rolfe at the Grand Hotel in Mornington next month.

Ms Rolfe said figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed that only 5.5 per cent of Australian adults met their daily intake requirement for fruits and vegetables.

For the 25-34 age group, the figure was a mere 3.4 per cent.

The workshop aims to show busy people how easy and quick it is to get enough fruits and vegetable into the daily diet.

Ms Rolfe will demonstrate how to prepare meals “in mere minutes” with fresh, seasonal ingredients to boost health.

“The workshop addresses the issues of time, taste and how to do it easily so the whole family can benefit,” she said.

“The workshop will helps correct one of the key causes of chronic disease – poor diet.

“Participants will be shown how to stock their kitchen, what tools they need and how to follow recipes and taste the results.

“They will be given a booklet of recipes and information to get them started.

“Feedback about the amazing flavour is always overwhelming, which is vital in getting people to eat more fruit and vegetables.”

The workshop will be run in partnership with Mornington business Gluten Free Foods and is also suitable for people with coeliac disease and wheat intolerance. Foods prepared will be dairy free and vegan.

The workshop is from 1-5pm on Saturday 16 November. Booking are required as places are limited.

executive Samantha Hunter said homeowners needed to be vigilant to protect themselves and others.

“We’re asking you to not only report approaches made to you, but also look out for your relatives and neighbours who may be more susceptible to con men,” Ms Hunter said.

In 2012-13, Consumer Affairs Victoria received 98 reports of travelling con men.

Authorities also noticed a shift from regional areas to the outer suburbs, with seven out of 10 of all reports coming from outer metropolitan areas.

“In September 2011, a national taskforce was established with other fair trading agencies, police, Customs, immigration and traffic authorities to combat and improve detection of travelling con men crossing state borders,” Ms Victoria said.

The nationally coordinated approach resulted in 53 prosecutions nationwide, fines and court costs of more than $475,000 with federal authorities taking action to deport 46 people for breaches of visa conditions.

Sightings of travelling con men will be highlighted on a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/StopTravelling ConMen) as well as Consumer Affairs Vic- toria’s social media channels.

Serious anglers snap into action MORE than 2000 “serious� recreational anglers will hit the waters of Port Phillip and Western Port for the 30th annual Tea Tree Snapper Fishing Competition next month.

Hosted by Mornington-based Snapper Point Angling Club, the event is Australia’s largest saltwater fishing competition, attracting anglers from across Victoria and interstate.

There are more than $130,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, including three boats and all manner of fishing tackle and boating accessories, with the fiercest competition in the “heaviest catch� section.

Eager anglers hopeful of winning the title of Victorian Amateur Snapper Champion can start fishing from 5am on Friday 2 November with the action continuing up to midnight.

Weigh-in is from 9pm to midnight at Carrum, Mornington, Rye and Hastings boat ramps. Official weighins and prize presentations will take place on Saturday 2 November from 10am to 2pm at Mornington Racecourse.

Entry forms must be lodged by Tuesday 22 October.

Last year’s winner, Leigh Johnston of Pakenham, reeled in a 9.88 kilogram whopper in Western Port, while junior winner, 15-year-old Dillon Paul of Wallan, snapped up a 7.22kg beauty in Port Phillip.

John Beasy of the angling club warned that fisheries officers would be out and about at boat ramps and popular fishing spots during the competition to ensure competitors were fishing within the rules.

The bag limit for snapper is 10 fish of at least 28 centimetres length, of which only three may be over 40 centimetres. Recreational anglers cannot sell the fish they catch.

Mr Beasy said police would be checking boats at various ramps and at the racecourse to ensure compliance with boating requirements.

He said early signs were this would be another bumper snapper season and predicted a record catch at this year’s event, provided the weather played its part.

Snapper catches have improved markedly in recent years, thanks mainly to the cessation of scallop dredging in 1997 and efforts to protect the Yarra and Port Phillip from pollution.

Petition procession to see MP Hunt

Paperweight: MP Greg Hunt helps GetUp protesters carry their Great Barrier Reef anti-dredging petition into his Hastings office.

Picture: Yanni

By Keith Platt ORANGE T-shirts, costumes fashioned on marine creatures and a couple of guide dogs in training were part of the procession that made its way to the Hastings office of Environment Minister Greg Hunt.

The line of about 100 GetUp supporters on Monday last week wound its way from outside the Pelican Park Recreation Centre on the foreshore to

a courtyard outside Mr Hunt’s office.

Four were ushered into the office where a waiting Mr Hunt was presented with a 240,000-signature petition calling on him to prevent a “coal-shipping superhighway� being dredged on Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef.

GetUp says Mr Hunt can stop three million cubic metres of seabed being dug up to provide deeper and wider

shipping channels through the World Heritage-listed reef.

It may be a long way from Hastings, but GetUp saw the protest march as “our chance to be heard before Minister Hunt makes any decisions that risk causing irreparable damage to our reef�.

The protesters almost missed their chance as Mr Hunt’s schedule did not allow for unexpected delays.

As previously arranged, Mr Hunt was waiting at his office for the marchers, but they did not start walking until their photographer–filmmaker arrived about half an hour late.

Apparently his car had broken down.

As the accessible Mr Hunt spoke to protesters outside, one of his minders was recording the event on a smartphone.

Neither Mr Hunt’s man or GetUp’s

cameraman was inside the office to record the petition handover.

GetUp says the petition presented to Mr Hunt was one its “largest of all time� and sent “a massive message to our government about protecting our reef�.

The marchers were told that once they were outside Mr Hunt’s office, their “job� would be “to stand around, smile and watch�.

Fire shatters leisure business dream

By Chris Brennan THREE people including a firefighter were taken to hospital after a major blaze ripped through a recently opened trampoline and leisure centre in Seaford.

More than 90 firefighters and 20 fire trucks battled the blaze at Gravity Zone in Oliphant Way for four hours after being called to the centre about 1.30am on Friday.

An Ambulance Victoria spokesperson said a man suffering a leg injury and two other men suffering smoke inhalation had been taken to Frankston

Hospital. All have since been released.

The leisure centre, which features 158 trampolines spread over 3000 square metres, suffered about $2.5 million worth of damage. It had been open only one month at the time of the fire.

Country Fire Authority crews from Frankston, Carrum Downs, Springvale, Dandenong, Patterson River, Skye, Hallam, Mt Eliza and Scoresby arrived to find the building engulfed in flames.

A CFA spokesperson said firefighters faced a tough battle due to flames having broken through the roof, but were

able to bring the fire under control with the use of two large ladder platform vehicles that enabled them to fight the blaze from above.

The fire is believed to have been started by a workman using a welder near a foam pit, the CFA spokesperson said. Gravity Zone owners said they were devastated at news of the fire but vowed to rebuild. “We are all devastated at what has become of our dream,� a message on the centre’s Facebook page reads. “The hard work, sweat and tears of so many people created something of

You were all wonderful. We want you to know that we would dearly love you all back with us when we open our doors again. “And to all those happy little faces ... don’t forget us. We will rebuild and hopefully have you back before you know it!�

Unicycle Sam rides for the love of his sister ACTOR Samuel Johnson entertained shoppers in Main St, Mornington, on Thursday as part of his year-long quest to raise $1 million for cancer research and ride his unicycle 15,000 kilometres around Australia.

Johnson is aiming to break the Guinness World Record for unicycling, currently held by an American who rode 14,686km across 48 states.

Money raised will go to the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

Best known for his roles in Secret Life of Us, Crackerjack, Underbelly II and Rush – Johnson rode his unicycle on the footpath and road in front Bendigo Bank, catching the interest of passers-by and asking them to donate to his charitable foundation Love Your Sister.

Johnson’s quest is to honour a promise he made to his sister Connie that he would help her raise awareness of breast cancer, raise a big pot of money and beat the unicycling world record.

Connie has breast cancer that has spread to her lungs, liver, pelvis, spine and knee.

“This time it’s terminal and she has a life expectancy of 6-12 months,” Johnson has said.

The Mornington connection is that Samuel and Connie attended Mornington Secondary College as teenagers.

The school is raising $15,000 for Johnson’s charity, matching dollars to kilometres. Fundraising events have included a swimathon, sausage sizzles and cake stalls.

Johnson left Federation Square in Melbourne in February, accompanied

by the college’s 40-strong Police Youth Drum Corps and watched by 350 Mornington students.

He hopes to reach his twin targets by the end of the year. So far he has cycled 10,200 kilometres and raised almost $800,000.

Connie Johnson has faced cancer twice before. The 35-year-old mother of two boys had a bone tumour in her leg at age 11, which was halted by chemotherapy, and had a tumour in her womb at age 22.

Johnson has unicycle “form”. He rode from Sydney to Melbourne in 2003 and raised $500,000 for the children’s cancer charity Canteen, which had helped Connie in her early years.

He has been riding for up to eight hours a day, a physically taxing task.

“It’s been extremely painful and painfully extreme,” he told one of his supporters. “But I won’t be enduring half of what my sister is going through.”

He wants to remind every Australian woman about the need to be “breast aware”, to promote early detection and improve survival rates.

In Main St on Thursday, Johnson’s appearance was supported by the bank, Rotary Club of Mornington sizzling sausages and about 20 members of the drum corps.

Lyle headlines cancer research golf day

By Rob Vanderzalm of Rosebud Country Club PGA Tour player and cancer survivor Jarrod Lyle inspired more than 200 people at Rosebud Country Club last week to mark the 40th year of the Cancer Research Golf Day. Lyle spoke about his fight with leukaemia and return to professional golf.

This year’s Cancer Research Golf Day raised more than $12,500.

Rosebud Country Club has raised more than $400,000 for the Cancer Council of Victoria since the event’s inception.

Almost 200 golfers from the Morn-

ington Peninsula, Melbourne and interstate took to the two golf courses.

The golf was followed by dinner with presentations and a silent auction with items generously donated by businesses.

Rosebud Country Club and the Cancer Council of Victoria greatly acknowledge the wonderful support of everyone involved.

Playing for a cause: Jarrod Lyle at Rosebud Country Club with the club’s members, staff and Cancer Council of Victoria representatives.

Art show attracts 350

We would also like to thank Sorrento Chamber of Commerce for including us in its Arts Heritage weekend, and Mornington Peninsula Shire for its contribution towards Seniors Week activities.

Imagine immersing yourself in a twelve-day non-stop full-on work-life experience exploring a diverse range of science career options. That’s what the NATIONAL YOUTH SCIENCE FORUM (NYSF) is, and local students Melissa Bailey and Declan Wain from Rosebud Secondary College have been selected to attend NYSF in 2014.

In addition, participants at NYSF engage in a series of energetic debates where they question the legal, political, and ethical implications of science’s hottest topics. They also consider the communication challenges related to talking about science.

The Rotary Club of Sorrento 2nd Annual Shutterbugs Beach Boats and Bays competition is one of many projects organised by our Rotary club members to embrace the community of the Mornington Peninsula.

The competition, Beach Boats and Bays, is a project designed for school children who have an interest in photography. The competition runs from 5th October until 12th December 2013 - a fun educational opportunity for children to showcase their skills in this highly popular art form.

The NYSF has monitored the progress of its past students, and we have observed that the vast majority of them enrolled in a science or engineering degree at university, and that most of them continue to work in a UHODWHG ¿HOG The NYSF is delivered in conjunction with Rotary Clubs of Australia, and its partners from Australian Industry, government and research providers that generously support the students in January.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Ceremony held at Tyabb school, fruitgrower meeting goes bust Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 October 1913.

AT the Tyabb State school, No 3129, on Tuesday, 7th of October, a very pleasing ceremony took place. It was the presentation of the A.N.A., prize for the best kept school ground in the Metropolitan No 1 school area extending from Albert Park to Flinders. The presentation consisted of a large picture entitled ‘The Opening of the first Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia.’ Cr A. J. Alden, chairman of the school committee, occupied the chair and introduced Cr D. Buckley, of the Balnarring A.N.A., lodge, who attended with Mr Berryman to make the presentation.

Cr Buckley congratulated the teachers and scholars on the condition of their well-kept ground and of being successful in gaining first prize in the A.N.A., competition in such a large area. He (the speaker) also hoped that the same energy would be displayed in the future as had been done in the past, not only in the school ground but in school work generally.

The head teacher, Mr T. H. White, thanked the members of the Balnarring Lodge for their attendance, and stated that the grounds in the future would not be neglected, and that the present success was very gratifying and would be an inducement to increase energy. Mr White also thanked Cr Alden for his presence. *** THE last meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association, which was to be held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Monday evening, lapsed owing to

there not being a sufficient number of members present. Only two members, besides the president and secretary, were in attendance, the inclemency of the weather no doubt accounting for the absence of others. *** IT is reported that Mr F. C. Doherty, of Mornington, has disposed of his livery and letting stables to Mr Daw, of Melbourne. On Friday, November 14th, a grand concert in connection with the Hastings branch L.O.L., will be held at Hastings. Full particulars will be given later. *** IN the paragraph of thanks to the ladies who assisted in the opening of the wing of the Boys’ Home, appearing to last week’s issue, the name Mrs D. H Chandler should read Mrs T. D. Chandler. *** THE Home Mission Fund collection recently made at St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, resulted in £8 7s 6d being subscribed to the Fund. This is the largest amount ever collected with the exception of last year. *** AN important unreserved clearing sale of furniture and effects, poultry, etc., will be conducted by Messrs Brody and Mason at their rooms, Frankston, on Wednesday next. Owing to the large quantity of goods to be disposed of, the sale will commence at 1 o’clock sharp. *** THE object of the Frankston Choral and Orchestral Society’s concert at Somerville is to raise money to try and make the Society self-supporting,

and this in itself should warrant a good attendance. *** WE are pleased to state that Mrs Coop, wife of our genial boniface, is slowly recovering after her recent severe illness. Mr A. C. Westaway, who also has recently passed through a severe illness, is now, his many friends will be pleased to learn, on the high road to recovery.

It would take a Sherlock Holmes - the best of his life to find any appreciable difference, in meaning at any rate, in the two paragraphs.

*** THE beautiful soaking rain which fell at the beginning of the week in this district came not before it was wanted. One resident reports having engaged a man to plough, but the ground proved too hard, and the

ploughing had to be postponed till after the rain. *** THE adjourned meeting of the Mornington Shire Council was held on Monday last instead of Thursday, as was first intended. Though all the councillors were notified previously to that effect, no word was received by us, therefore our reporter was not in attendance, though, fortunately, through the courtesy of our contemporary, we were able to get a full report of the proceedings.

As we were not notified on the usual meeting day that the meeting was to be adjourned our reporter was in attendance as usual, and he was politely told in the street that there would be no meeting, as some of the councillors would be away. He interviewed the secretary (Mr Crosbie), who told him the same thing, and added that the meeting would probably be held on the following Thursday.

In the absence of any news to the contrary, we took it for granted that last Thursday would be the meeting day, and arrangements for our reporter to attend were consequently made. The first intimation that any alteration had been made was when the mail on Tuesday evening brought a memo from Mr Crosbie as follows: “Our meeting was held yesterday. I quite forgot to let you know that they decided to hold the adjourned meeting on Monday instead of Thursday, as they first intended. Some of my councillors took exception to the paragraph in your paper in reference to the meeting lapsing for want of a quorum, and would like you to correct it

by saying, ‘that owing to several of the councillors not being able to be present it was decided to adjourn the meeting until the following Monday.’

-Yours truly, J. CROSBIE.’ The paragraph in our last week’s issue read as follows:- “There was no meeting of the Mornington Shire Council on Thursday, owing to a sufficient number of members not being present.” It would take a Sherlock Holmes – the best of his life to find any appreciable difference, in meaning at any rate, in the two paragraphs.

The “some of my councillors,” as our report shows, was Cr Bates, who said the paragraph was a slur on the Council, especially the new members, as it represented that they were not attending the meetings. He moved that they be asked to contradict it.

It will be seen by the corrected paragraph we were asked to insert that “owing to several councillors not being able to be present it was decided to adjourn the meeting until the following Monday,” while in the preceding paragraph of his memo, Mr Crosbie says, “I quite forgot to let you know – that they decided to hold the adjourned meeting on Monday instead of Thursday, as they at first intended.” Sure there is something wrong somewhere, or why such a conflict of statements.

In justice to our subscribers and ourselves we make this explanation of our reporter’s absence from the Council table, and all we can do is to take Mr Crosbie’s explanation, that he “quite forgot to let us know.” As for the corrected (?) paragraph, well, further comment is needless.

Local women join breast cancer fight CURVES Rosebud, the weight loss and fitness centre specially designed for women, has joined forces with the Cancer Council.

From 14 to 26 October, the club will waive its usual joining fee when a donation is made to the Cancer Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Heart Pinkâ&#x20AC;? campaign.

The club will run a series of events and initiatives throughout October, including hosting a Cancer Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Night In party and selling Pink Ribbon Day merchandise.

The aim is to raise funds for vital breast and gynecological cancer research, prevention and support services during Breast Cancer Awareness month in October.

This year, Curvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clubs across Australia are striving to meet the fundraising goal of $250,000.

Curves clubs have been fundraising for Cancer Council for the past seven years and have raised more than $1.4 million.

The funds raised have helped Cancer Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer research, prevention and support services for Australians affected by cancer. One of the services is Breast Cancer Connect, where a newly diagnosed patient is paired with a volunteer cancer survivor to ease them through their cancer journey.

Excess weight, lack of physical activity and an unhealthy diet are among the most preventable causes of disease. It is our hope that this month local women are motivated to come through our

doors and take the first steps toward leading a more cancer smart lifestyle.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Australia, with 1 in 8 being diagnosed by the age of 85. We are proud to support Cancer Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invaluable work, which supports many women affected by cancer in Australia each year.

Me versus â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: part one

By Stuart McCullough EVERYBODY loves an underdog.

Trouble is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;underdogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; status is generally well deserved and anyone stuck with the title is more likely to suffer an absolute trouncing than they are to triumph against the odds. This is especially so when your adversary is not another person or even a team but a corporation. When doing battle against a company, you are not merely pitting yourself against a brand name and logo but the very establishment that permits big business to get away with murder of not only the blue, but red, beige and turquoise variety also.

When faced with such a foe, it is very much a case of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the underdogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; versus â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Man.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In his masterpiece, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;1984â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, George Orwell wrote about an all-powerful authoritarian figure he called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and, for decades, this term symbolised tyranny and general awfulness. Then, in act of supreme irony, it was turned into a TV show so putrid that people looked back with fondness to a time when â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; represented oppression and not a soulsapping time sink where the lowest common denominator digs itself a basement for the sole purpose of descending even lower. My only hope is that the producers of the television show will return to the source and conclude the series by ensuring that Big Brother does to the housemates what he did to Winston in 1984.

Given that the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is currently in use, we must now refer to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. In broad terms, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; represents all that you and I are born

to resist. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is to blame for everything wrong in the world; from the melting of the polar ice caps to the new Miley Cyrus album, through to the fact that the car spaces at your local supermarket are ever so slightly too small to fit a standard sized car. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; who gave us Hyper-colour t-shirts and, in a fit of pique, took them away again, before later deciding that hipster jeans might be a good idea.

The Man is cruel, unkind and dedicated to making your life more difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was also to blame for airing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Breaking Badâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on pay television rather than free to air.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not ashamed to admit that I became addicted to the adventures of Walter White in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Breaking Badâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. So much so that I was reduced to downloading

FIRST SHOW

episodes as soon as they were available for sale rather than waiting for the DVD. It became something of a ritual. I would arrive home on a Tuesday, download the next episode, then watch it on the computer. It was, so I thought, perfect. Until it all went wrong.

I was purchasing the show from a very large company that, for the sake of anonymity, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Orange.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Frankly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still getting used to the idea of being able to purchase movies and music without getting up off the couch. When it works, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible.

But when something goes wrong, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like being robbed of a superpower. At first, everything seemed fine. I clicked the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;purchaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; button and was greeted by the standard and, no doubt, foolproof warning that, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This purchase

may contain objectionable material,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and asking me to vouch that I was over fifteen with my mouse. But without warning, I was told there was a problem and the purchase could not be completed. I was marooned.

I was directed to check my account.

It declared that there was a problem with the previous purchase and informed me that I was now in debt to Orange Corporation to the tune of three bucks ninety five. All it could suggest was that I get another credit card. This sounded like an over-reaction. I decided to call. Problem was, finding a number was akin to trying to find a needle in a haystack. Granted, I could have downloaded the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Needle In A Haystackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; app from the Orange store, but it would have set me back

another ninety-nine cents and, in any event, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem with the account. Eventually, after several links whose sole purpose it was to discourage human contact, I found a phone number.

I can still remember an era before call centres existed. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be certain, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure people were happier then. There were fewer wars, the sun shone and butterflies filled the air. As is the way with call centres, I was first placed on hold for about forty minutes during which the same thirty seconds of music were played repeatedly on a loop. For a company that sells and has access to millions of pieces of music, this seemed deliberately provocative.

When I eventually got through, it was like being transported to a magical far-away land. Judging by the accent, the magical kingdom in question was New Zealand. After explaining myself, the call centre staff member looked at my account before returning to tell me that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working. This much I had figured out for myself.

Indeed, had this not already dawned on me, I would have been unlikely to have subjected myself to eighty consecutive performances of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;guitar noodleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the hope of getting through.

She then promised to escalate it and I assumed she meant to the United Nations or Geneva but, as it turns out, she meant to India. I was told they would be in touch. I immediately looked to the heavens to see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d already activated the Bat-signal before she said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d email me. I could only wait. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance MT Eliza singer-songwriter Lachlan Bryan and his band The Wildes have been in the music industry since 2008.

This brilliant alternative-country performer, who has been travelling under the mainstream radar, came from left field with his alternative swamp country album Black Coffee (WJO), which smashed its way into the ARIA charts, debuting at No 4 on the Top 20 Australian artist country albums chart, No 6 on the Top 40 Country albums chart and No 12 on the Top 20 Australian artist albums chart (all genres).

In 2012 Bryan released his solo album Shadow of the Gun, and embarked on an epic 23-state tour of the United States.

It was on this tour that he wrote most of what would become the new record, inspired by rundown hotels, roadside diners, desert landscapes and cheap, supermarket sixpacks.

The title track, for instance, was written at 9am on a napkin in a Mexican restaurant outside Chicago.

“Shadow of the Gun was a dark album for me and it was where I was at the time, written over a few years,” he said.

Bryan used the album to express the complex array of feelings swirling around inside him.

Black Coffee was an entirely different project. He wrote all the songs earlier this year and recorded them at Music Cellar Studios in Erina on the NSW central coast in two days.

309 is the debut single from Black Coffee, which was co-written with Bill Chambers who also sings on the recording.

“Bill and I liked this song a lot,” Bryan said. “And when it came time to record, it only seemed right to share the vocals. It appeals to the wicked side in both of us.”

“Bill Chambers is one person in the industry for the music. He puts music first and you can tell.

“Bill is always helping other people; he is talented, genuine and I

By Gary Turner

have connected with Bill on a musical level; he is the real thing.”

“309 set the scene for the vibe of the album. It’s a driving album and 309 is a highway song. People are coming up to me saying they love my new album and that is as good as being on the charts.”

Singer-songwriter Melody Pool helps out on backing vocals on seven of the 10 tracks and shares vocals with Bryan on Forty Days and Nights.

“We are like brother and sister. She can play anything with strings and, like Bill, Melody only has music crossing her mind. She has a big future.”

Bryan is influenced by Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Graham Parsons, Jack White, Joe Pugg, Paul Kelly and Gillian Welch.

He has shared the stage with Steve Earle and John Hiatt. Bryan describes Nick Cave as smart and stylish. “Nick Cave makes me feel patriotic.”

Bryan paid tribute to his manager, Tracey Collier. “Tracey has suffered some incredible misfortunes in the past few years but she kept believing in me and gave me huge support in putting this album together. Much credit goes to Tracey.”

I asked Bryan about Nashville.

“Eventually we will release Black Coffee in the US and follow up with a tour.

“Not so much as breeze into Nashville and be a star but I want to do the travelling troubadour thing and travel around the countryside doing gigs.

Even singing to 50 people is a good gig. It’s better than a lot of jobs I have done.”

Bryan deployed The Wildes for this album, the band he formed in 2008, meeting the drummer, Mat Duniam, on a train trip to the city.

Most band members are Mornington Peninsula musicians including guitarist Andy Wrigglesworth (also part of the Weeping Willows), Shaun Ryan on bass guitar, Mat Duniam on drums, and former Toorak College teacher Laura Coates (Weeping Willows).

Bryan played guitar, piano and vocals.

Other performers players on Black Coffee included Zoe Rinkel (vocals), whose father Erik is a drama teacher at the Peninsula School, Melody Pool (vocals), Rod McCormack (banjo, dobro and organ) and Texan pedal steel player Tommy Detamore.

Black Coffee was produced by Bryan, The Wildes and Rod McCormack,

ing together.

During my 40 years of marriage to darling we had arguments big and small. She would order me out of the house, always I refused. If a super argument she would threaten to walk out of our marriage. I would say “go” but generally the reply was words to the effect that I would have to pay.

Occasionally darling would in fact go, into the night, for hours. Maybe hide in the car, visit a shoulder, who knows? It would blow over, never sure of whose fault, but mine according to darling. Pay her credit card, problem vamoosed, all sweet.

Later, living alone, I realised I had underestimated darling’s true value tenfold. Unless you have a partner who beats you or disrespects you why do it? It’s almost always a loss.

A lonely future sometimes selfishly glamourised by false thoughts of freedom (?) and sex. Everybody pays, particularly the kids. Forget it. It’s a comfortable bed, albeit in separate rooms, and cheaper. Enjoy. *** ALWAYS amusing when News Limited journalists cry fowl on misreporting.

Terry McCrann, right wing coalition financial journalist for the Herald-Sun writes a piece on Paul Barry (Media Watch; ABC TV) and Paul’s bias against News Limited, highlighting “loose with the truth” to suit a per-

ceived left wing point of view.

Andrew Bolt trainee Rita Panahi with her usual diatribe on smoking (second hand smoke often blows into indoor areas adversely affecting 87% of us sensible folk) follows up on Barry (lunatic left).

To prove their honesty, integrity and sensibility, why not write a similar article on the Coaltion climate change policy in the light of the IPCC report (259 scientists from 30 countries) and the 90 to 95% liklihood humanity is warming the planet?

Not in a month of Sundays. Two pots and the kettle. As it happens I agree with Terry. Paul Barry is a pain we all know where, definitely loose with the truth. *** LIKE flies to a honeypot.

Many years ago the newspapers were sprouting Nunawading as “the place to be”. I thought they had gone troppo. Flat and dull. Wrong again Cliffie.

They bought and moved in their thousands, a massive spider web of lost streets, crescents and the dreaded courts; seemingly all happy little vegemites. But time moves on, now it’s apartments, way up in the sky with water views, or cheaper glimpses, and restricted stickybeak neighbours.

The luxury lifestyle, the 25th floor, the bay, boats, a massive kitchen-living area. Even Frankston?

No newspapers at breakfast; mustn’t miss that view. Eat and enjoy. Wall TV’s playing the breaky news in the background? No thinking required.

All so easily convinced, like those buyers of safer cars, a la subaru forresters? Weird stuff. Baaa. *** MEDICAL rules revisited: A heavy cold, influenza or bedridden you suffer in silence, unless you have a partner.

If in need of pills or have a mysterious pain you see a doctor who will advise you to stop smoking.

If you fear anything of a really serious nature you go to the lovely people staffing the Rosebud hospital where I spent Saturday night 21/9. One gorgeous girl on the counter and a second gorgeous girl checking my blood pressure. Fixed me up nicely, bossy; escaped 1am. Well done ladies and doctor.

Which reminds me, what happened to the “one-stop shops” for aged care services allowing people to seamlessly move from basic help at home to residential aged care services, and after hours GP services? Where is Teddy Baillieu? *** COLLINGWOOD heroes Jolly, Didak and Shaw brutally discarded after wonderful service and “rat pack” references alluding to a form of cancer.

Benny Johnson able to retire with dignity, Thomas escapes. Perhaps the ac-

and engineered by Jeff McCormack and recorded in McCormack’s Music Cellar Studios.

Best tracks include 309, Forty Days and Nights, Black Coffee, some early 1950s-style country with Kiss Me or Kill Me, the up-tempo Dragging My Chain, and You. Bryan will launch Black Coffee at the Tamworth Music Festival at Family Hotel at midday on Friday 24 January.

He will appear at the Revolver Bandroom in Prahran on Wednesday 13 November and Peninsula Music Festival in Mt Eliza, on Sunday 12 January 12.

For more information and a copy of Black Coffee, visit www.lachlanbryan.com or email tracey@kickmusic. com.au *** PINK will release her live DVD, which was filmed in Melbourne on 22 November.

The Truth About Love: Live from Melbourne was filmed at Rod Laver Arena in July.

It will be released two weeks before it appears on the shelves in the US. Pink played a record-breaking 18 shows at Rod Laver Arena to more than 250,000 fans. *** SIXTIES rock band The Kinks is talking about a reunion to mark the band’s 50th anniversary next year.

Lead singer Ray Davies said: “I was talking to my brother Dave (vocals and guitar) two weeks ago and we are negotiating.”

The Kinks was one of Britain’s most enduring and respected groups with hits You Really Got Me, Waterloo Sunset, Lola, Apeman, Sunny Afternoon and more.

A Grain of Salt HAWTHORN, a likeable club with dreadful colours deserved victory despite charity goals in the first, second and third quarters, confusing the dockers by playing the wide open spaces.

We wonder why the AFL forced Fremantle to play a final at Geelong, disallowed the wearing of their purple shorts and insisted their qualifying final be played at night?

Alistair Clarkson a genius; Ross Lyons an also ran? Nonsense of course.

Sports reporters get well paid for rubbish.

Enjoyed Wayne Carey, Paul Roos and Greg Baum, not so Mark Robinson due to unrelenting bias throughout the Essendon supplements scandal though egged on by the patronising Gerard Whateley.

Again the AFL was all about money at the expense of supporters, particularly families. *** WHY so many divorces?

In my day there was very little thinking. We went out with girls (if lucky), met one who was mad about you and you enjoyed her love, particularly the hanky panky, and got married. That was it.

Move to step two, as in the job, kids, good times, arguments whatever, with the thought of divorce never an option.

True, thinking was no great part of our DNA but we knew the option of living alone was far worse than stay-

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

A big day for the batsmen PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully IT was a great day for batsmen on Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket with all batting teams in strong positions heading into the second day.

Heatherhill, Mt Eliza and Mornington all scored more than 250 runs batting first, while Sorrento and Peninsula Old Boys managed 230 or more against Mt Martha and Langwarrin respectively.

The lowest score of the round was 185, scored by Baxter on the normally slow Baxter Park ground.

So heading into day two this weekend, all bowling sides will be in the box seat to win the match.

There were no triple figures on Saturday, Mt Eliza’s Luke Marshall top-scoring for the day with 94 and Mornington’s Ben Clements hitting 93.

Former Frankston Peninsula legend Darren Groves was the best of the bowlers over the round, claiming 5/23 for Rye against the Mounties.

At Lloyd Park, Langwarrin spin king Dwayne Doig again tweaked his way to a bag of wickets, taking 7/73 against the Old Boys.

Doig bowled 36 overs and had nine maidens.

The Old Boys batted their entire 80 overs, finishing on 9/230.

Mornington won the toss and batted against Crib Point.

While Ryan Martin went early in the day, Anthony Gapes and Clements put on 119 for the second wicket, Gapes making 59.

Matt Foon was quickly in the sheds for a blob before Luke Popov joined Clements at the crease. Popov scored 46.

Henry Dolphin was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers with 3/64.

Sorrento made 232 in 67 overs against Mt Martha.

The Reds had to face the last 12 overs on the day and finished on 1/10.

They have a lot of work to do at their Sorrento ground.

Dean Shaw top-scored for Heatherhill with 75 at the top of the order, helping his side to 260 against Moorooduc.

Randill Gamage was next best with 47 while skipper Matty Meagher helped himself to 41.

Sushant Gupta was the best of the Ducs’ bowlers with 4/54, while Shaun Manby was up and about again with

the ball, snaring 3/61.

While Luke Marshall scored 94 for the Mounties on Saturday, Timmy Strickland blasted a quick-fire 42 against Rye. A score of 263 is going to be hard to chase down for the Demons at Wooralla Drive.

Dale Irving top-scored for Baxter with 33, while Darren Uccello opened the batting with 32 against Long Island. Baxter finished their 80 overs at 9/185.

The Islanders used seven bowlers, Scott Phillips the pick of them with 3/39 from 15 overs.

Delaney brothers put on a willow show DISTRICT

By IT Gully SOMERVILLE brothers Ben and Sam Delaney put on a batting clinic in their match against Hastings in MPCA District cricket on Saturday.

The pair was brought together at the crease when the Eagles were cruising at 4/140.

The brothers stayed together in the middle to ensure the home side secured a commanding position.

Sam made 78 runs in the 83-run partnership, while Ben went on to score 100.

The tail wagged nicely too for the Eagles, ensuring they passed 300, finishing their 80 overs on 8/328.

Last year’s grand finalists are in a strong position to roll the Blues this weekend.

Ben Johnson was the best of the Blues bowlers with 2/61, while Luke Hewitt claimed 2/63.

The match between Seaford and Boneo is in the balance.

Boneo was superb with the ball, bowling first and dismissing the home side for just 116.

Cameron Williams took 3/15 and Chris Jobling 3/32 as the visitors

ripped through the Seaford batting line-up.

The only bats to make an impression were Ryan McQueen with 33 and David Anderson with 34.

However, the Boneo batsmen couldn’t back up the great work of their bowlers. At stumps after facing 40 overs, Boneo was reeling at 5/86.

Leigh Lowry is back in the sheds after scoring 22 and Ryan Jellie raised 20.

Jon Guthrie top-scored for Delacombe Park in its match against Carrum with 42.

Underated all-rounder Shane Deal

scored 41 and Steven Anderson 31 to help the Parkers to 218.

Before Deal and Anderson came to the crease, the Parkers were in some serious trouble at 7/136.

The start was good, Guthrie and Andrew Christides (34) producing a 59-run opening partnership.

However, the home side lost 6/77 to be in some trouble. Liam Dobson was the best of the Carrum bowlers with 3/36 from 13.2 overs.

Main Ridge batsmen have a lot of work to do to chase down Seaford Tigers’ 264.

While Jason Albress (4/85) and

Scott Millar (4/96) did the job with the ball for the Ridge, it couldn’t prevent a strong total on the small Main Ridge ground.

Ballam Park is in super strife again, already losing to Baden Powell.

Bowled out for just 72, the Braves are already at 5/122 and will be eying an early season outright.

Anjula Perera picked up 3/9 for the Braves, while Rhys Elmi was the top scorer on the day with 26.

Pines is in the box seat against Flinders after bowling them out for just 135.

Pines is 1/10 in reply.

A hard worker gets 100 SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully CARRUM Downs skipper Steve Worker scored an impressive century on Saturday to put his side in a commanding position heading into day two of the match against Pearcedale.

The Cougars were in some early trouble at 4/89, before Worker came to the crease to join Anthony Hunter.

Hunter went on to make 49, while Worker finished unbeaten on 101.

The Cougars were eventually bowled out with nine overs to play for 276.

Justin Heysham was the best of the Pearcedale bowlers with 3/15 from 12 overs, while Kaine Smith claimed 3/45 off 13. Chris Dew also took two wickets.

Recruits for Hillmen RED Hill coach Tony Blackford said last week the recruits would continue and he hasn’t let the faithful down.

The Hillmen added Frankston YCW dual premiership player Paul Wintle to the list last week.

You can add Wintle to Jarred Eames from

In reply, the Panthers are 0/11.

Balnarring is in awful trouble against Rosebud.

The Buds batted first and didn’t have the greatest of days, being bowled out for 178.

At one stage, the Buds were reeling at 7/59, but Mathew Maher (70) and Jason Nagel (24) took the score to 162.

Nagel was then able to back things up with his bowling, picking up 2/14 from 14 overs to have Balnarring on the back foot.

Brian Doughty also claimed two wickets and Jason Pierce one to have the visitors in all sorts of trouble at 5/46.

Tootgarook has already beaten Dromana.

The Hoppers batted first and were dismissed for 127 in 36 overs.

Zac Klan and David Timmer top-scored for the home side with 29 each. Tootgarook then needed Karingal, Nick Batemen from Frankston Dolphins and Blake McCormack from YCW. They will also sign a 100-game VFL midfielder this week.

Former Hastings forward Dylan Hand is also in the mix up the Hill, while another key forward from a peninsula club is being targeted.

“We have room for one more I think and then I believe we’ve had a very good recruiting period,” Blackford said.

Karingal hires Coates KARINGAL has appointed Steve Coates as senior coach.

only 44 overs to score 191 and seal victory.

Brilliant Red Hill all-rounder Simon Dart top-scored with 87 in his side’s 233 against Frankston YCW. Lincoln Toy scored 29 and Jayden Pain 27 to help the Hillmen to a more than competitive score.

Paul Bradley was the best of the YCW bowlers with 4/34, while Adam Muirhead also helped himself to 4/65 from 23 overs.

In the final match, Tyabb has set Skye 223 for victory after Ben Van Wees (46) led his side to 222.

The Tyabb middle order had a real impact, Rienzie Wijeratne scoring 35 and Jack Raeside 33.

Leigh Smith and Paul Fillipone picked up 4/60 and 4/82 respectively.

Coates, best known for his work at Noble Park, has had coaching stints at both Garfield and ROC. His connection to Karingal came through Troy Callahan.

Coates will be a non-playing coach. His first task will be to try and stop the avalanche of players who are said to be leaving.

Dale Alanis and Steve Charalambous have been linked to other clubs, as has Chris Hay. Hay said last week he hadn’t spoken officially to any clubs about making a move.

“I’d like to get some of the money I’m rumoured to be getting though,” “Cocky” said.

Holden celebrates 35 years of Commodore with special edition

HOLDEN is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Commodore with the introduction of the special edition ‘VF Commodore International’ sedan and Sportwagon.

Building on the already highly specified VF range, Commodore International adds additional luxury and sports features including leather appointed seats, 18 inch alloy wheels, Blind Spot Alert and Reverse Traffic Alert.
