Mustering an insight into world of work AN outdoor event at Rosebud Secondary College on Friday gave year 10 students an insight into what it would be like to work in local businesses and trades.

The first Careers Ute Muster provided the youngsters with the real-world information they will need to make positive and informed choices to guide their career pathways.

Eleven local trades, business and industry representatives – together with their utes and work equipment – were on display in the outdoor “trade show”. They demonstrated and explained their work, shared their knowledge and provided information about building local community networks.

About 160 students spent 20 minutes at each “station”, exploring the various options within the world of work in each particular industry or trade. They were told the pre-requisites and the “nitty gritty” of exactly what was required to do a particular job on a day-to-day basis.

Seawinds Community Hub CEO Heather Barton said this “real world” information was vital in helping students understand what a career choice entailed, and how they can develop the potential to gain local employment in a particular industry.

“Armed with this information, they are better able to set goals and make decisions for their own future,” she said.

Protest wave sinks ramp plan Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A GROUNDSWELL of opposition to a new boat ramp at Rye flooded in to the Mornington Peninsula Shire council chamber last Monday evening.

Councillors, in front of a packed public gallery, voted down the shire’s own planning permit application for a fourth boat ramp after 175 written objections were lodged against the plan to build the $1.2 million ramp.

Numerous objectors addressed coun-

cillors at the meeting, held on 13 February, voicing their concerns about a rise in jet-ski use in the area and associated dangers to rare Burranun dolphins which frequent Rye waters.

Nepean ward councillor Hugh Fraser backed the construction of the additional ramp located on the north side of Point Nepean Rd near Rye pier. Fellow ward councillor Bryan Payne opposed building the new ramp in the form presented to council.

Polperro Dolphin Swims operator Judith Muir was one of eight objectors

who spoke at the meeting.

Ms Muir said more vessels using the Rye boat ramp would lead to more dolphin injuries and deaths.

“We can no longer report jet-skis because we were threatened with sabotage of our boat,” she said.

The swim-with-the-dolphins tour operator said the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning did not have enough wildlife officers assigned to patrol the area.

“Jet-skiers that we’ve tried to have conversations with, at 100 kilometres

an hour, tell us they can’t see a dolphin,” Ms Muir said.

“There have been two dolphin deaths from blunt force injury from jet skis.”

She said international researchers who have visited Rye “are appalled” at the lack of protection for the Burranun dolphins.

Cr Fraser argued the project should proceed as part of the Rye Recreational Boating Precinct Plan and council could “build on it” by improving nearby road access to the foreshore.

“This is a great start for the renewal

Rye Community Alliance chairwoman Mechelle Cheers told the meeting that boaters and jet-skiers “are not the major foreshore user”.

“The alliance has always worked well with the shire but not over the extension of the launching facilities,” Ms Cheers said.

“There is a ruthless determination to expand the facilities regardless of the facts and the depth of community concern.”

Ending the cycle of domestic violence Reclaiming lives: Karen Stevens will hold a women’s domestic violence forum, 11am, Wednesday 22 March, at Seawinds Community Hub, Rosebud.

Picture: Yanni

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE adage of getting knocked down and then getting straight back up again describes Karen Stevens, 46, of Rosebud, to a tee.

Unfortunately, the knock part literally happened, not once but three times, until Ms Stevens said to herself “enough is enough” and moved out.

The penny had dropped; she realised the cycle of domestic violence would be repeated if she stayed around.

“I didn’t want to pass that pattern onto my children,” she said.

Across the Mornington Peninsula hundreds of domestic violence victims are struggling to get their lives back on track. “I know because I was one of them,” Ms Stevens said.

“Then, after years of falling back into the same abusive cycle, I decided to do something about it.”

She helps women to take back their power and reclaim their lives. “I now advocate for, and mentor, women to love themselves boldly and create a better life for them and their children,” she said.

“I have helped many women, not only locally but also around the world [thanks to the internet], to thrive and be free.”

Sadly, women who have survived domestic violence do not have the luxury of “falling to pieces”, she said.

“They must be strong and keep going for their children, keeping as much normality as possible to reduce the emotional trauma and stress in their lives.

“Women deserve to have the freedom to feel good about themselves and to be loved and feel safe.”

Ms Stevens said there were not enough resources or support for women after the actual violence and many just fell back into the same cycle of violence time after time.

“After seeing counsellors, psychologists, doctors and others, and still not getting any real results, I decided

to take a different approach using energy healing and working with the mind-body-spirit connection – and it worked like magic.

“After healing myself and working with energy to release old beliefs and trauma, I have managed to inspire other women to strive for more.

“I now mentor women so they can live without limits, heal their lives and end the cycle of violence for good.”

Ms Stevens hosts one-on-one and group coaching classes for women seeking to escape domestic violence and recover from its traumatic effects.

“We all play a part on domestic violence,” she said. “We are either victims or perpetrators but we are still involved.

“My role is to help women change their mindsets and to recognise a cycle of violence early on and be able to say stop.

“The trouble is that some women are so beaten down they don’t know how to escape it.”

Ms Stevens will hold a women’s domestic violence forum, 11am, Wednesday 22 March, at Seawinds Community Hub, Rosebud. Details: 0417 873 476.

Shire quiet on top level pays Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has refused to confirm the remuneration of council CEO Carl Cowie and four executives who report directly to the shire’s highest-paid employee.

The shire’s reluctance to reveal exactly how much executive pay and perks cost ratepayers at the highest level of council comes amid enterprise bargaining agreement negotiations with council staff.

Employees are being offered a 6.8 per cent pay rise over three years as part of a proposed pay deal.

Permanent staff have also been offered a $1000 “incentive” payment to accept the new EBA, with reduced redundancy and sick leave provisions ac-

cording to the Australian Services Union, that could cost ratepayers about $1 million ("Unfair, underhanded’ $1000 offer", The News 13/2/17).

Casual staff have been offered $300 each, according to the union.

When asked for details of Mr Cowie’s remuneration, any additional allowances and a pay rise resulting from the latest performance review conducted by councillors, shire communications manager Mark Kestigian referred to information publicly available.

“This information is updated yearly in the annual report and is available from the shire’s website,” he said in a statement.

The annual report lists income ranges, not specific salary figures, for council’s top executives.

The report states council’s highestpaid employee was paid $310,000-

$319,999, excluding retirement benefits, for the 12 months to June 2016.

The News can reveal Mr Cowie’s remuneration, including superannuation, was increased to about $395,000 late last year.

The CEO was also given an allowance of up to $30,000 for a study tour to be linked to council business.

The organisation chart in council’s annual report shows chief financial officer Matt Green, governance manager Joe Spiteri, chief operating officer Alison Leighton and media communications and events manager Mark Kestigian report directly to the CEO. Mr Kestigian did not respond to further questions asking for more information than that provided in council’s annual report or a request to match the relevant job titles with the income band figures in the latest report.

The annual report lists one senior officer receives $260,000-$269,999 a year excluding superannuation. Two others are paid $200,000-$209,999 and a fourth receives $190,000-$199,999.

Neighbouring Frankston Council also referred The News to its latest annual report when asked about CEO Dennis Hovenden and executives’ pay.

Frankston’s annual report shows Mr Hovenden was paid $330,000$339,999, excluding superannuation, in the 2015-16 financial year.

Kingston Council said CEO John Nevins’ total annual remuneration is $376,511.66, adding that he had opted to buy one weeks' extra leave in an offer available to all full-time staff.

“Kingston Council sets its senior officer salaries based on benchmarking against other metropolitan councils,” Kingston mayor Cr David Eden said.

“The CEO oversees an organisation of 1400 staff members, an annual operating budget of $200 million and assets valued at $2.2billion and brings years of experience in the sector to the role.”

In October 2014 Mornington Peninsula and Frankston councils voted at a meeting of state councils to have the Municipal Association of Victoria — the body representing councils statewide — list more information about MAV executives’ pay in the association's annual reports.

The two councils backed a motion for the MAV to list executive contract start and end dates and total remuneration paid including any external appointments approved by the MAV board.

The motion to disclose contractual arrangements for key MAV management personnel was lost.

Ramp sinks Continued from Page 1 Ms Cheers said there was congestion at the existing boat ramp on only a few days each summer.

Councillors voted down the planning permit application with a brief show of hands. No division was called so the names of the councillors who backed and opposed the new ramp were not recorded.

Objectors to the project said council had failed to consult the community about the plans to add the fourth ramp.

They noted the plan to build the $1.2 million ramp emerged as a capital works program project after council applied for a $588,000 boating safety and facilities grant from the state government.

Cr Payne moved a motion, unanimously backed by councillors at the meeting, to write to Labor Roads, Road Safety and Ports Minister Luke Donnellan to ask if the grant can be used to fund “other priority projects within the Rye Recreational Boating Precinct Plan” including a new jetty, repairs to the existing boat ramp, dredging around the existing facility and landscaping.

Cr Payne criticised the process for such a major project as being “most surprising” amid a lack of community consultation.

“The officers were going to pass this permit under their delegation,” he said.

“I had to call it in. Tenders were called before the approval - very strange.”

He said council officers had not informed councillors about any objections to the project at a councillor briefing session earlier this month.

Shire goes to ground over jetty Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire council is refusing to respond to concerns that a private jetty being rebuilt at Sullivan Bay, Sorrento, has contravened a planning permit requirement to build “like for like”.

As reported in The News last week, (“Anger over ‘new’ pier’s beach block”) residents are upset that the large, privately-owned structure blocks public access to the beach at high tide, despite it being part of a recently upgraded historical walk from Blairgowrie to Sorrento, heavily promoted by the council’s tourism department.

Despite several requests from The News, and a request directly from Parks Victoria to clarify the issue for publication, the shire has refused to comment.

According to the shire’s planning applications form, existing privatelyowned jetties can only be rebuilt “like for like”, which means they must adhere to the same specifications as the one that is being replaced.

It is also understood that private jetties on land subdivided from larger estates can no longer be built to the high tide mark.

Residents have said they believe that money is being put before the rights of residents’ to access the public beach.

Trevor Robinson, who regularly swims at the beach, said it seemed like the council was “on the run” by ignoring the apparent flouting of the regulations.

Another resident, Leanne Austin, said residents were not opposed to the jetty, but were upset that the new, higher structure was “obstructive”.

“There are older residents who have walked this beach for years and now they are blocked by this jetty,” she said.

“It’s too high to get over, and it’s too

low to walk under, like we used to be able to. It’s easy to see from the two other private jetties on the beach that this one is not being rebuilt the way it was.”

Deputy mayor Bryan Payne said he had asked shire officers to investigate the issue after being contacted by residents.

Appeal success SOUTHERN Peninsula Food for All’s 2016 Christmas Appeal raised $40,197 as well as toys, food and gifts for the needy.

The service was able to provide hampers for 522 families and toys for 572 children, and still have a modest reserve to begin its 2017 emergency food aid.

“Although this was well short of our target of $60,000, the overall assistance we received was boosted by the toys, food and gifts which were a great help in our Christmas giving program,” president Ken Northwood said.

“With many families and individuals under pressure due to cutbacks in Centrelink payments, and fewer hours of work than they would like, we are again anticipating an increase in requests for assistance this year.

“Thanks to the support we continue to receive from all our friends we

Have a say

‘Reform’ call from crime forum Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE Law and Order forum at the Rosebud Country Club last week was described as being an “extraordinary response from the community to discuss their feelings and concerns about the dramatic increase in crime we are seeing across the state and on the Mornington Peninsula”.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon said about

250 people were at the club on Tuesday 14 February to “vent their anger at a legal system which has largely left victims of crime behind, while it acts to defend criminals”.

One outcome of the meeting was to create a community consultative group to distil the information outlined at the forum for Mr Dixon to then present to parliament and to the state government.

“There was great support for this group from a diverse representation,

including retired police, JPs and other community members experienced in law and order issues,” he said.

The consultative group is expected to meet in the next few weeks.

Mr Dixon said those attending the forum made it clear they were concerned at the lack of penalties for breaching bail, at the increase in violent crime – with a carjacking reported in Rye – and at the delays taken for police to respond to 000 calls.

“If elected in 2018, a Coalition government will address these issues with firm laws dealing with bail breaches and criminals who perpetrate violent crimes while, at the same time, ensuring police have the resources to respond promptly to all 000 calls.

Enough is enough, was the message heard loud and clear,” Mr Dixon said.

Anyone interested in joining the consultative group can call Mr Dixon’s office on 5986 6661.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is calling for community input into how it can work with residents and businesses to protect the shire’s “green” and natural environment.

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said community feedback last year identified protecting and maintaining a clean environment as the number one challenge with 92 per cent of respondents to a shire survey also seeing preparing for extreme weather as important.

Residents wanting to have a say can fill out a survey before 21 March and leave their comments at the Chatterbox trailer or attend an interactive workshop. Details: mornpen.vic.gov. au/cleanandgreen or call 5950 1000.

The 89TH

ROSEBUD resident Nigel Edwards is “passionate” about helping people and his record of more than 76 years working in public service is proof enough.

The 91-year-old JP, civil celebrant, bowls player, senior citizens register volunteer, Rye cemetery trust chair and Rosebud Probus Club committee member recently decided to “pull back” from his commitments on advice from his doctor, retiring from 10 years as document signing at the Rosebud police station.

Mr Edwards was recently honoured by Victoria Police area commander Brett Coloe for his “character, humour and knowledge” and his invaluable service to the police and community, But while his duties at the police station may be over, the father of two and grandfather of three is still providing his JP services to people at The Village Glen retirement village where he lives.

“I wanted to keep going as long as I could, but my doctor thought I should take it easy after a few health scares, so I did,” he said.

Since retiring from Kraft Foods in the 1980s, where he was instrumental in the expansion and marketing of Vegemite when it was at its height of popularity, Mr Edward’s diary has rarely been empty, and he wouldn’t have it any way.

His community spirit was developed early on when, as a 17-year-old in 1943, he joined the Australian Air League, eventually working his way up to being its chief commissioner.

“I love taking to people and have been actively involved in the community since I was young, and it’s just what I love doing.”

Rest assured: JP Nigel Edwards is taking a step back at 91. Picture: Yanni

Ignoring cat curfew Technology leads in shoulder surgery has tragic results Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au DOMESTIC and stray cats are running amok all over the Mornington Peninsula as many cat-owners ignore the cat curfew.

Environmentalists and wildlife carers have called on Mornington Peninsula Shire to enforce its cat curfew to stop increasing numbers of cats from killing wildlife and causing a nuisance to residents.

One Hastings property is being inundated with cats every night after a nearby vacant block was cleared of old cars and sheds.

Renate Luhn said she complained to the shire and was told by one officer not to feed them and they would “go away”.

The shire adopted a 24-hour cat curfew in 1997, requiring all cats to be contained within the owner’s property, with a $100 fine for a first offence, and more than $300 for subsequent offences.

Rye wildlife carer Brenda Marmion said many of the hundreds of injured animals brought to her shelter every year had been victims of cat attacks, and had to be euthanised because of the diseases cats carry.

“Cats out at night are one of the main causes of death and injuries to wildlife, but it could be so easily prevented if the cat curfew was enforced,” she said. Most wildlife has little resistance to cats, which are an introduced species brought to Australia with European settlement.

“Lots of cat owners do the right thing, but so many don’t, and cats are left out at night to roam and kill.”

On the prowl: One of the cats that has been nightly invading the Hastings property of Renate Luhn since a nearby vacant block was cleared.

President of the Mt Eliza-based South Eastern Centre for Sustainabaility, Steve Karaktisos, said there were several ways that cats could be humanely controlled, but that laws were ineffective without enforcement.

Flinders MP and former environment minister Greg Hunt last year announced a plan to make French Island feral cat free under a communitydriven plan to make the island a safe haven for wildlife by 2020.

He was quoted as saying feral cats had directly contributed to the extinction of more than 20 mammals since first arriving in Australia.

The shire did not respond to requests for comment.

MORNINGTON ‘S The Bays Hospital is the first Victorian centre and only the second in Australia to use advanced technology that is helping to revolutionise shoulder replacement surgery.

Orthopaedic surgeon James Shiu carried out the first surgery on Capel Sound resident Pam Chitty on Friday using the technology, after leading the push to bring the groundbreaking GPS navigational computer system to Mornington.

Mrs Chitty had surgery in 1980 when she first injured her rotator cuff, but deterioration meant full replacement was the only option when even hanging out the clothes became unbearable.

Mr Shiu said patients like Mrs Chitty now had options that made surgery quicker and more effective.

“Medical professionals only turned to technology when it improves accuracy and reduces operating times, and this new equipment allows faster insertion of shoulder implants with pinpoint accuracy,” he said.

A CT scan of the patient’s shoulder is downloaded onto the computer and a map of the surgery is created before the patient enters the operating theatre. The navigational tracking tools then provide real-time guidance for

the surgeon to insert the implant.

“It’s still me, the surgeon, using my own hands to perform the surgery but the system will provide me with realtime guidance,” Mr Shiu said.

“I don’t have to depend on my eye alone; the computer does it for me.”

The equipment, yet to be approved in the US, is expected to reduce patients’ time in theatre and all the associated risks and costs.

Mr Shiu said there had been many improvements in shoulder replacement surgery in the past 10 years, with the latest technology “one step further” in ensuring that implants work better, function better and last longer.

Robbers hit service stations A MAN wearing a hoodie and armed with a kitchen knife robbed the United service station in Tyabb Rd, Mornington, at 10.15pm on Wednesday 8 February.

The man, who covered his face and was described as Caucasian, pointed the knife at the attendant and demanded cash. He grabbed the till and ran off.

Within the hour, the BP service station in Mt Eliza was robbed of cash, possibly by the same man.

At about 2am, Thursday 9 February, the Caltex service station and also the 7-Eleven in McMahons Rd, Frankston, were robbed when a man threatened staff with a large knife and grabbed a quantity of cash. The man ran off through the car park on Cranbourne-Frankston Rd. It is not known if he had a car waiting.

Classical concerts ‘touch hearts’ COMPOSITIONS by Bach, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven will be played next month at two concerts by Peninsula Chamber Musicians.

The first concert is at Rosebud on Saturday 4 March, followed the next day with a performance in Mornington.

Formed in 2013, the Peninsula Chamber Musicians present “intimate chamber recitals” through to performing as an “energetic chamber orchestra”, committee president Anthony Poe said.

“The group seeks to touch the hearts of concert goers and inspire the next generation of performers.”

Mr Pope said primary and secondary school pupils and students can attend the “family friendly and engaging concerts free of charge”.

“PCM was born from the desire to create opportunities and a sense of place for peninsulabased classical musicians.”

The first concert starts at 2pm on Saturday 4 March in the All Saints Anglican Church, 1157 Point Nepean Rd, Rosebud followed by a second concert on Sunday 5 March at 2pm at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilson Rd, Mornington.

Adults $25, concession $20. Bookings: www. trybooking.com/230267.

CFA brigades from Baxter, Langwarrin, Hastings and a breathing apparatus van from Frankston battled a fire which destroyed a portable office at the rear of the Somerville recreation centre on Saturday night.

Crews were alerted to a bin fire at 10.40pm at the rear of the mechanics hall by a passer-by.

When they arrived, a large column of smoke was seen rising from the rear of the old rec centre, which itself was burnt out in November in a blaze which caused $1.75-$2 million damage.

On Sunday 5 February crews were again called to a “small” blaze inside the rec centre’s kitchen and office area, 4.45pm. Office materials may have been used to light the fire which was restricted to bench tops.

Somerville brigade captain David O’Brien said the Saturday 11 February blaze was again deliberate. “Whoever lit the fire in the dumpster pushed it into the wall of the portable and it was

fully engaged when we arrived. Flames were beginning to impact on the rear of the main building.”

105kph over limit A MOTORCYCLIST was charged after his speed was clocked at more than 100km over the limit in Mornington on Tuesday night.

Somerville Highway Patrol members detected the Suzuki GSXR600 allegedly travelling south on the Mornington-Tyabb Rd at 175kph in a 70kph zone about 11.30pm.

Police media’s Creina O’Grady said the rider, a 31-year-old Mornington man, stopped when intercepted but then attempted to drive off as police approached, colliding with the police vehicle. He was arrested and the bike impounded for 30 days at a cost of $950.

The rider is also expected to be charged on summons with reckless conduct endangering life, unregistered vehicle, disqualified driving, refuse roadside drug test, evade police and other traffic offences.

P-plater does his dash A P-PLATE driver blew 0.177, more than three times the limit, when breathalysed in Rosebud on Saturday 11 February.

Police intercepted the 22-year-old who was driving his father’s car at 2am in CanterburyJetty Rd. The Rye man was charged with drinkdriving and his licence suspended on the spot.

The car was impounded for 30 days and towing costs of $1010 charged to the owner.

Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb, of Frankston police, said the high reading for a P-plater supposed to be alcohol-free had shocked police.

“We are very lucky no one was killed or injured due to that driver’s level of impairment.”

Are you prepared for grassfire?

If you live in a rural area surrounded by grasslands or paddocks, you could be at risk of grassfire. Travelling at speeds of up to 25kph, grassfires can quickly threaten lives and property. Reduce your risk, slash or mow grass to create fuel breaks around your home, and avoid using machinery near grass on hot, dry, windy days. The reasons why are black and white.

Booked ‘speedsters’ slow to complain ROAD safety camera commissioner John Voyage is puzzled at the lack of “objective evidence” presented to him by motorists blaming their speeding fines on faulty Peninsula Link cameras.

Mr Voyage on Monday wrapped up the evidence-collecting part of an investigation which he wants to finalise in six-to-eight weeks.

His report will then go to Police Minister Lisa Neville.

Controversy has raged over the costly speed readings for months, with social media besieged by complaints that the fixed cameras were just inaccurate revenue-raisers. Those at Eramosa, Cranbourne and Loders roads came in for special criticism.

Angry drivers formed the Peninsula Link 108 group to complain about their fines, with most clocked at a contentious 108kph. They disputed the readings, with most saying they were driving on cruise control set at the 100kph speed limit.

There is even talk of a class action to recoup fines and lost demerit points.

Mr Voyage’s role is to independently monitor the road safety camera system, and to ensure all fixed and mobile road safety cameras are operating accurately and reliably.

So, when he began an investigation into the accuracy of the Peninsula Link cameras he could have expected an avalanche of evidence backing up the drivers’ claims.

“For about four months I have been inviting members of the public to provide me with objective evidence,” he said.

“I have repeatedly [called for] dash-cam footage or GPS data of trips or FineMate app tracking, or alleged infringements by drivers of trucks with speed limiters.”

But, as of Friday, he had received virtually nothing. “I have received one person’s edited data log and nothing else,” he said.

“I am surprised that the public consultation process has not revealed any other objective evidence.”

Health and socialising spring to bathers’ minds NEW research has highlighted the health and social benefits of spending time semi-immersed in a hot spring.

Family and friends tend to enjoy the shared experience, while the shedding of mobile phones and time spent in singular contemplation have emerged as being among the main attractions to a hot springs.

The latest research findings (first published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Tourism Research) are based on 4265 responses to survey of bathers at Peninsula Hot Springs, in Springs Lane, Fingal, near Rye. As well as highlighting beneficial social outcomes, he study also found bathing at the hot springs provided significant relief to respondents with severe back pain, arthritis, injury, chronic pain, depression, anxiety and insomnia.

More than 80 per cent of survey respondents said they slept better after bathing at the hot springs.

Next month (March) the hot springs will enter a “partnership” with Mentis Assist, a not-forprofit mental health organisation providing specialised support for Mornington Peninsula residents diagnosed with a mental illness.

The RMIT School of Health and Biomedical Sciences survey asked bathers to list their reasons for visiting the hot springs: more than 60 per cent rated “social – to connect with friends and family” as important. The study found 95 per cent of regular bathers most often visited with friends or family.

Nearly 70 per cent rated “being with other people” as an “important" or “somewhat important” factor that positively influences their bathing experience while “taking time out”, “peace and tranquillity of the environment” and “being in Nature” all had ratings over 50 per cent as “important” factors for their visit.

Hot springs research co-author James ClarkKennedy said findings suggested an evolution in Melbourne's “traditional playground” [the

Springs improving mental health THE partnership between Mentis Assist and Peninsula Hot Springs is based on a “shared” philosophy of “promoting mental and physical wellbeing and striving to improve the lives of people affected by mental ill-health and their carers”.

“It is estimated that one in five Australians are affected by mental illness every year. Yet only 25 percent of people with mental health conditions feel that people are caring and sympathetic toward their struggles,” the hot springs’ global and community relationship manager Yuki Davidson said.

“We are aiming to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and to raise awareness of the issues through collaborative activities and promotions.

“There is no doubt that we form an effective team when a place of wellness offering mindful experiences in natural settings is combined together with Mentis’ expertise and access to local people living with the mental issues.”

Bathing benefits: New research has confirmed the social and health benefits of taking time out with family or friends to bathe in hot springs. Picture: Supplied

Mornington Peninsula], towards relaxation in healthy surrounds.

"Not too long ago friends on the peninsula had two main forums for social interaction: the beach and the pub. Families had backyard barbecues and a handful of restaurants, again where alcohol may often have been an underlining connector,” Mr Clark-Kennedy said.

Peninsula Hot Springs CEO Charles Davidson said bookings were often made by families with three and even four generations of women from

the same family “taking time out to enjoy and connect with their pure nature”.

Since opening in 2005 private pavilion bathing areas had been provided for family and friends "though social bathing was fully achievable with the opening of the Bath House in 2009 and its family bathing area".

The hot springs has more than 430,000 visitors a year and plans now underway project the number of visitors will be 600,000 a year by 2018.

Mr Clark-Kennedy said Mr Davidson’s vison

for “a place where quiet escape in tranquil surrounds for some could be offered parallel to a social experience for others” had been achieved.

Research supervisor Professor Marc Cohen said: "That the bathing environment generally precludes the use of mobile phones and other technology may further allow people to escape their usual routines and more fully relax and immersed themselves in nature, thereby further enhancing the relaxing effects of bathing."

WHAT’S ON @ MOONAH LINKS

TWILIGHT GOLF

‘Pirate’ takes a dive for walk A BACKWARD flop off the Rye jetty is not every senior citizen’s idea of fun, but if you believe it is being done for the right reasons then the commitment must be honoured.

At least that’s the belief of Barry Swayn, 70, who took the plunge on Thursday to promote a fundraiser for Oxfam, a charity working to alleviate poverty throughout the world. “It was my idea, I co-wrote the song Captain Captain with my son Christopher and then had a rush of blood in declaring we needed a video to promote the tune and the charity day, so it’s off the Pier with me, all fat bellied and ego,� Swayn said.

A Pirates Picnic will be held at 156 Weeroona St, Rye, on Sunday 5 March.

Ansalvish who will be in his Captain Jack Sparrow attire (he operates as actor Johnny Depp’s double) The song Captain Captain will bring together Suga Tree and the Warrains.

Swayn said the song would be released on the internet “later in the year, as will be the finished video clip�. “The premise is that on a global scale no one is really in charge of anything, least of all what aging rockers do in the spare time.�

Money raised at the Pirates Picnic will be given to Oxfam towards the running costs of its annual 48-hour 100 kilometre charity walk in the Dandenong Ranges. “Pirate garb is not compulsory on the day but having fun and enjoying yourself is,� Swayn said. Details: www. facebook.com/thebaackyard/

NEWS DESK Mitchell’s big test RYE boxer Jayde Mitchell will fight Les Sherrington in the first defence of his World Boxing Association Super Middleweight Oceania title at the Melbourne Park function centre on Saturday 18 March.

The defence follows Mitchell’s title win against Japan’s Shintaro Matsumoto – at the same venue as Lionel Rose claimed his world bantamweight belt against “Fighting� Harada in 1968.

Mitchell regards his upcoming fight as his “biggest test to date�. He said Sherrington, with a 35-9 win-loss record, was an “extremely experienced campaigner at middle and super middleweight holding minor world titles in both�. “I’ve been a fan of Les for some time as he’s been one of Australia’s best over his career. “I’m honoured to get the chance to test my metal against Les in this next big step.�

Positive reaction to poor conditions IT was a weak, inconsistent beach break, and the wind wasn’t favourable, but the Maladiction surfers were not about to be wiped out when it came to their February contest.

Club president Greg Lloyd described the conditions at St Andrews Beach (near Rye) as “challenging�.

Formed 20 years ago this October, the club’s riders favour long, Malibu surfboards and the stylist surfing made possible with a large deck area, although there is a contest division for “retro� short boards.

Any former members who would like to be involved in Maladiction’s 20th celebrations can contact club president Greg Lloyd through the

Facebook site or by emailing greg@ surfstoked.com.au or maladictionlongboarders@gmail.com Results: Open First Division - Rhys Collins, 1; Tomy Bellisai, 2; Ben Pitts, 3.

Open Second Division - Joe Bonato, 1; Dean Campbell, 2; Tina Balland, 3. Open Third Division - Steve Jones, 1; Andrew Sematas, 2; Brendan McCafferty, 3.

DSA at Inverloch THE Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch held its first event at Inverloch on Saturday 11 February with more than 50 surfers

and 100 volunteers. “It was epic. Absolutely epic,�

DSAMP secretary Bill Hallett said.

The large turnout at Inverloch followed the cancellation of surfing at Pt Leo on Saturday 14 January, although participants and volunteers were made welcome with a barbecue at the Point Leo lifesaving club.

The next DSAMP surf day is scheduled to be held at Point Leo on Saturday 4 March, with registrations open from 10am.

On 1 April (April Fools’ Day) the DSAMP and Maladiction will hold a teams’ surf day at The Pines beach (Atlas) Shoreham. “This is not about being a good

surfer - you could lose points for that - it's about leaving your dignity on the beach and having a giggle,� Mr Hallett said.

Entry is $200 for each four-person team and surfers will ride the “soft� surfboards used at the annual events run by the DSAMP. As well as surfing ability, points will be awarded for surfers’ costumes.

Prizes for the DSA Champs Surf Competition include $2000 in Jetstar travel vouchers; a Trigger Brothers surf pack; and dinner for four at Stillwater, Crittenden Estate from Peninsula Speech Pathology Services.

Looking for the lip: Adam Morris goes right towards his first win in a decade in the Open A division of Peninsula Surfriders Club competition.

PENINSULA Surfriders Club started its 2017 season with a contest at Rye in small, choppy surf.

Despite the conditions on Saturday 11 February, secretary Jane Featherston said “impressive performances” and “great ocean management skills and wave knowledge” were shown by surfers in the female and under-13 divisions.

Charli Wookey won the girls’ event and Taj Barber the under-13s.

Winners in the four older age divisions were Calum Nicolson (over 28), Andrew Hyde (over 35), Darren Bird (over 45) and Gavin Duffy (over 55).

In the Cadet final (under-16s) Max Burton

defeated his older rivals, adding 2000 points towards his season aggregate. Will Antonie won the under-18s and Brett Ryder the Open B. The Premier Open A division saw Adam Morris triumph in a field of 42 surfers. It was his first win after 10 years in the division.

The club’s junior development program - PSC Supergroms - was held in windy conditions the following day (Sunday 12 February) at Crunchy Point, Point Leo. The next Supergroms (under-9 to under-15) event will be on 26 March and the next club aggregate event on 18 March.

GRASS-FED IS BEST When we switch from grain-fed to grass-fed meat, then we are simply returning to the diet of our long-ago ancestors, the diet that is most in harmony with our physiology. Every cell and every system of our bodies will function better when we eat products from animals raised on grass. Grass-fed beef is naturally leaner than grain-fed beef.

ALL OUR BEEF IS GRASS-FED!

Reliance on coal is harebrained thinking Renewable energy is the future. Reading the letter from Brian Mitchelson I felt that I had entered an alternate universe (“Fire up the generators for our own cheap energy” The News 12/2/17). The harebrained thinking that coal is “free” and that Australia should export its emissions indicates a complete abrogation of the reality of renewable energy.

It is a deliberate denial of the economic and climate realities documented by hundreds of economists and scientists.

Does Mr Mitchelson not realise that we have a free, giant nuclear reactor in the sky called the sun, that emits enough energy to power every appliance on Earth for the next billion years or so?

The cost of using fossil fuels is rising daily, along with the levels of carbon in the atmosphere. The costs of solar and wind and battery technologies to capture the power of the sun are decreasing exponentially as trillions of dollars are spent on research and development of these technologies.

Right now, the cost for wind energy is nearly half that of coal, according to Lazard’s LCOE (Levelised Cost of Electricity), the industry standard for electricity cost comparisons.

But do not take my word for it. An increasing number of experts and major companies are putting their money into clean renewables instead of filthy coal. Unlike Mr Mitchelson, they know where the energy future lies in Australia and the world regardless of the non-existent energy and climate policies of the current federal government. Renewable energy creates jobs. Renewable energy does not pollute. Renewable energy grows the economy. Renewable energy is clean.

Renewable energy is the future.

Ken Dyer, Queensland

Quick change Obviously Mr Mitchelson is one of our climate change deniers when it comes to humans having anything to do with it (“Fire up the generators for our own cheap energy” The News 12/2/17).

The majority of climate scientists would caution us to take this issue a little more seriously.

His misleading argument about climate changes over the millennia is of course partially correct. But what he conveniently omitted is the fact these changes occurred over very long time lines in the past. Ever since industrialisation of human activities we see runaway warming of our planet.

And every year we break yet another record in global temperature, flood events, drought or some other climactic event that affects great masses of humans.

His mantra of let someone else deal with the problems I cause is, first of all, incredibly selfish and short-sighted; and secondly it condemns future generations to a very bleak and dangerous life.

Digging up any more coal anywhere is no solution for the long-term viability of the human

race and it must stop now.

And I haven’t even talked about the wholesale destruction of our native forests or the elephant in the room: population growth.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Alternate reasons Brian A Mitchelson (“Fire up the generators for our own cheap energy” The News 12/2/17) makes some good points. Of course the climate is subject to change, but is the real cause being identified? Initial theories that it is due to CO2 are less than credible and no one seems to be able to relate changes in CO2 levels to changes in “climate”.

No one talks about the effect of the increase in the use of energy in our environment as a contributor, yet there are some basic scientific laws (such as the first law of thermodynamics, often defined in terms of the Carnot Cycle) which would tend to give a more rational explanation.

In simple terms, every time you drive your car, 90 per cent of the energy expended by the combustion of fuel in your engine is radiated straight into the atmosphere as heat.

Would that have any effect on climate change?

If you want to stop CO2, why not ban effervescent drinks?

John Kuchel, Rosebud West

Powering down Hazelwood [power station] is closing and, should the parties that sit on the left of the political spectrum achieve their aims, all the coal-generated power in the Latrobe Valley will eventually cease and we will all feel the financial impact of this.

Victoria has historically been the industrial powerhouse of this nation but, sadly, many are now departing this state as a direct result of the cost and uncertainty of the energy policies, many of which are purely ideological.

While Victorians feel deep sympathy for the workers in the valley who will be thrown out of work, it would be fair to conclude that many, if not most, may have voted for the parties who have for years openly promoted the complete closure of the valley’s coal-fired power stations.

Sometimes you actually get what you wish for and, in some cases, you get what you voted for.

Neville and Lorna Congress, Rosebud

will bring a solution.

Power supplies are so vitally important, their production, distribution and development must be taken away from the politicians because, frankly, they cannot be trusted no matter which political persuasion.

Power needs to be organised by a completely independent organisation, which is neither beholden to political manipulation nor big business greed.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Traffic up to speed As an commuter to the city and north and eastern suburbs I am bemused at the letters complaining about the Mornington Peninsula’s roads and the proposed freeway extension, which would seem the solution to provide the silver bullet to solve all traffic problems.

My experience, apart from three or four days a year, is that the traffic jams are coming from Melbourne where the four lanes from East Link come into two at the Portsea turnoff.

Going to the city on approaching the Monash there are very substantial hold-ups.

If someone can explain how the proposed extension would solve this I’d be delighted to hear.

The inclusion of the two roundabouts at Truemans and Browns roads have done a magnificent job in moving traffic In my reading of the excellent advisory signs Mornington Peninsula Shire has installed with time travel to Sorrento and vice versa, the time variations have been only about eight minutes.

Travelling down the Monash can take more than one hour.

If the freeway was to be done the huge feeder traffic coming off could change the ambiance of Rye, Blairgowrie and Sorrento. There’s an old saying, be careful what you wish for.

John Trewarne, Rye

The dove came first Just to correct any racist misconceptions (“Cull the possums”, Letters, 13/2/17), the spotted dove with its “unAustralian” call is native to eastern Asia generally. It was introduced here in the 1800s but not from Pakistan, as that country did not exist until 1949.

Lao Yan, Frankston

Not keeping watch I was recently down at Tootgarook with my wife and on the same day that someone grabbed my sunglasses (Ray Bans) from next to our umbrella on the sand I found a watch in the water engraved “Confirmation 23 10 02” with love from a certain lady.

Power not politics

Use levy for NDIS

Alexander Von Humboldt (1769-1859) a Prusssian geographer and an experienced thinking scientist, recognised that cutting down trees to grow wheat in South America would alter the climate and reduce rainfall.

With all the knowledge gained since the 18th century, we have not learnt this lesson, or at least our political leaders have not learnt. Our climate scientists have been saying this for decades. Yet again South Australia is being used as a political football in the power supply game.

No amount of shouting from the front bench

The National Disability Insurance Scheme is far to important to be bartered off with cuts to other programs for vulnerable people, who are already under great pressures of every day life.

Surely as one of the most wealthy countries in the world and a relatively low taxing nation, the funding of NDIS should be a priority and paid for by increasing the Medicare levy? I am sure fair minded people will agree.

Who knows, in the future one of our loved ones might need this much fought for important service.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Devastating debate So here we are again, with politicians bouncing the issue of better support for people with a disability around the floor of Parliament like the proverbial football. Unfortunately, all that’s being achieved is a massive own goal.

At what point did it seem like a good idea to pit welfare and families against the National Disability Insurance Scheme? For starters, it’s not even a logical argument when the Productivity Commission found that the NDIS would be more cost effective than the status quo.

So, having dispensed with the notion that there was a cheaper alternative, the only thing that can be called into question is that of need. Do our politicians believe that people with a disability need and deserve more and better than they’ve historically received, or don’t they?

People across this country have suffered immeasurably as a result of a devastatingly underfunded disability sector. And now, implicitly, they’re being asked to apologise for getting what they need, to the detriment of their fellow citizens.

I can only imagine what it must feel like for someone who has been waiting desperately for support, as they watch this debacle play out.

From being told that you had a right to a fulfilling life – that you are a valued member of your community and part of this country’s fabric – to having your desperation publicly weighed and measured against that of some of the poorest members of our community.

There was never any question that the introduction of the NDIS would be a steep learning curve, and an expensive one at that, but giving with one hand while taking away with the other is downright cruelty.

Ultimately, in social and moral terms, we are all the poorer for this debate.

Andrew Donne, chief executive Endeavour Foundation, Queensland

Water being wasted We are two weeks away from summer’s end with [water] storages near 70 per cent full, yet [the Premier] Daniel Andrews still hopes to pump in 50 gigalitres from his faulty desalination plant.

Melbourne’s storages are at a healthy 68.1 per cent, but Daniel Andrews is determined to dump his 50gl of desal water in just before the winter filling season starts.

During a hearing of Parliament’s Public Accounts and Estimates Committee the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) confirmed it would take up to four months to deliver the desal order.

It won’t be long before autumn and winter rains start filling the dams again, so Labor should forget the water order and focus on getting a refund for customers instead.

The department also confirmed on Tuesday that in the last year Melbourne Water customers paid more than $600 million in “service fees” for a desal plant that doesn’t work.

Melburnians didn’t want a $24 billion desal plant and they definitely don’t need a $27 million water order this year, but Daniel Andrews put politics ahead of people and households continue to foot the bill.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

New laws prohibit wartime amusement Compiled by Cameron McCullough FURTHER action has been taken under the war precautions regulations to limit expenditure on places of amusement.

A new regulation, dated 14th February, which comes into operation forthwith, provides that no person, firm, company, society, club or association shall, without the written consent of the Treasurer, erect any building or structure for amusement purposes; make any structural alterations in or to a building used, or intended to be used, for amusement purposes; or expend money for the purpose of establishing an amusement business at or in any building or structure which is not at the commencement of the new regulation used primarily for amusement purposes.

“Amusement” is defined under the regulation as any exhibition, performance, amusement, game or sport for admission to which payment is or is intended to be made.

Hitherto such restrictions as are set out above have been confined to companies or firms. They now, however, apply to all individuals. *** LANCE-CORPORAL Harold Dial, after being a long time at the front has been invalided home, and he arrived at Frankston on Thursday evening, where he received a warm welcome from a number of his friends. *** WE have received a further budget of letters referring to who should and who should not be on the “Wattle” Club committee.

As no good can be done by prolonging the discussion we decline to publish

anything further on the subject. *** AS the result of a drunken carousal amongst a number of tramps the Frankston police arrested two men and a woman on the 14th inst.

The woman, who gave the name of Ruby Hewson but is also known to the police as Ruby Moore, was charged with (1) stealing from one William Tabb (better known locally as ‘Bullocky Bill’) a leather purse containing £1 10s ; (2) with using indecent language and (3) with having no lawful means of support.

The men were charged with drunkenness, offensive language, and vagrancy.

The “lady” was brought before Capt.

Sherlock, J,P., the same evening, and remanded till the 19th inst.

She was then conveyed to Melbourne Gaol.

On the following morning Wm Ford appeared before Mr Oates, J.P., charged with drunkenness and offensive language. He pleaded guilty.

On the first charge Ford was fined 2s 6d or three hours, and for the “language” he was compelled reluctanaly to contribute 15s to the revenue.

The second man. Edward Stewart, was charged with vagrancy.

Constable Ryan stated that since the man’s arrest it had been found that he had absconded from the Benevolent Asylum, and he suggested that the prisoner be discharged on condition that he returned to the a institution.

Mr Oates discharged Stewart on this condition. *** LETTER from the Front. The following

letter has been received from Pte Jack W. Reynolds, Sussex, England.

JUST a few lines hoping your paper is having as good a circulation as it was when I was last in Frankston.

No doubt you will recall my face to mind when you know where I came from.

Previous to returning to England, I was with Mrs Gregory, who was at that time licensee of the Bay View Hotel.

The time I am speaking of was from Febuary to August, 1914, but I was in Frankston long, enough for nearly all to know me.

Well, I am writing this letter to let my friends know what I have been through since I left Australia. I left Australia with the first contingent on October 31st, and landed in England 19th December, 1914 after a very pleasent journey home.

I was not home for more than a month, when I was packed off to France. That is the worst of being a reservist you don’t get any training at home. As soon as we arrived in France, they sent us straight up to the firing line.

The weather was bitterly cold at time, it being the time when so many men were sent home with frostbite.

After coming straight from Australia you can guess I felt the cold a bit.

The first time we went into the trenches, we were in for three days and all the time up to our waists in water, and were jolly glad to get relieved. We had to keep on going into the trenches up to March, when we had to go into a charge at Neove Chapelle. I came out of that alright.

Then we were shifted along the line a

bit and worked our way till we came to Festubert, when we had to go into two charges. I came out of the lot without a scratch.

We then carried on, making raids now and again till 25th September 1915, when we had to take a charge at Loos.

I came out of that alright, after that we had to make a bombing attack on 15th Oct. at Loos again. We only lost a few men there. Then we carried on again, making raids till the middle of December, when we were sent back for a rest which was well earned.

We only had a rest for seven days and were put in a different division, along with some of Kitchener’s battalions to show them how to go about in the trenches.

After our rest was up, the battalion moved to go into the trenches again, but I did not go in with them this time. It happened to be my turn for leave, and I was glad of it.

When the time came for me to go back, I didn’t like it. Of course we kept on going in and out of the trenches making raids nearly every time we went in. In July last year, after doing twenty four days in the trenches we were shifted to the Somme. We had to retire that night to a certain town. We had to march about 15 miles to our billets so left the station at 4 o’clock in the morning and arrived at our billets about 9 o’clock.

We had not been there five hours when we had orders to shift at once, and had to march another thirteen and a half miles. You can guess we were tired out after our day’s March.

We stayed in billets all that night but

had to shift off again next morning, and that same night we had to sleep on ground that had been taken. We had to move off again the next day, and after resting for a few hours, shifted up in the first line. That was the roadway.

The first order we got was to dig ourselves in. No sooner had we started than the Germans started shelling us.

All the night it was Just like h—. Anyway we stuck to our work and nearly got it finished, when we got the order to prepare to attack.

We went over the top about nine o’clock, and had over a thousand yards to go to get to our objective.

All the while we were going over the Germans were firing at us from the right and left flanks and the front with rifle, machine gun and gun fire. So you can guess we had it pretty hot. We were only 20 yards from the Germans barbed wire when I was wounded. I got hit about half past nine, and got it in the right thigh. This was on 15th July.

It took me about six or seven hours to get in, but after I got back I was all for blighty.

From the time I was wounded to the time I was discharged from hospital (October 31st) was three months and a half . I should have been discharged before, only I had an abscess form in the wound and had to have an operation on it, and I am now going on quite well.

Well, having told you of what I have been through since I left Australia, I will close wishing your paper every succes. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 24 February, 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Great Escape Claus...

By Stuart McCullough IT must have sounded so promising – a coveted job as part of a high-profile family. It would have been too good to resist. But even things that seem enormously exciting can quickly lose their glittery charm. What starts with a bright, warm burst of optimism quickly turns cold as the bitter wind of reality sweeps in. Imagine; your eyes scanning the classifieds when you fatefully stumble across the following words: Wanted – Mrs Claus. No previous experience necessary. It would be as though all your Christmases had come at once.

How apt.

Like much of Melbourne, I was out doing some last minute shopping. In a major victory, I had secured a parking spot in the multilevel car park where I’d noticed the levels were no longer named after colours or numbers but after Dante’s nine circles of hell instead. I was parked in ‘Purgatory’, I think. Approaching the entire exercise as though I was undertaking a military extraction operation, I moved quickly to get in and out in the shortest possible time possible. To reinforce the point, I was dressed head to toe in military fatigues.

The Department store was drenched in Christmas Spirit. It was as though a gigantic Yuletide cloud had recently passed overhead resulting in a downpour of tinsel, coloured foil and other assorted holiday decorations. Music seeped through the speakers. Personally I was not convinced that the song, ‘I’m Feeling Sexual’ by Neiked featuring Dyo was quite the right choice for Christmas. Despite this setback, I was

PAGE 38

Southern Peninsula News

feeling pretty good about myself having already picked up several sure-fire smash-hit presents, including a Star Wars Chess set that saw Luke and Darth play out their oedipal supremacy death-match as nature intended – on a chess board. As I passed by the LastMinute-Office-Kris-Kringle aisle past something I like to think of as ‘Hamper 21 February 2017

Mountain’, I noticed the kerfuffle.

Throughout the store snaked a long line of people. This serpentine queue of human desperation seemed not to be going very far very quickly, although I could see many of those lining up had dressed for the occasion. My interest was piqued. In fact, it’s fair to say that my interest was super-piqued with

a cherry on top. Could it be that these well-dressed people all knew something I didn’t? Was there a present even more awesome than a Star Wars Chess set (as unlikely as this may seem) or had the queue for the toilets simply gotten out of hand? I needed to know the answer.

Like an icebreaker driving into the Antarctic ice, I pushed through crowds of people. Standing on the very tips of my toes, I saw him. Sitting astride the kind of golden throne usually preserved for either monarchs or gangsta rappers, Father Christmas sat like a cashed-up beneficent overlord, posing for photos.

It was clear he was going to be there for some time, such was the demand. I instantly resolved not to join the queue.

Firstly, I didn’t have time. Also, there’s something sad if not a little bit creepy about turning up for a Santa photo by yourself.

Leaving the Department store, the sounds of ‘Neiked’ if not ‘Dyo’ still ringing in my ears, I headed out into the great expanse of the shopping centre. Several hours later, laden with loot and my blood sugar levels in free-fall, I staggered past the welcoming arms of the in-store alarm barriers and back to the Department store. Instantly, my ears were caressed by the gentle sounds of Neiked featuring Dyo and ‘I’m Feeling Sexual’ which, I’ll admit, was starting to grow on me. Whether this was an encore performance or some outrageously extended remix version is hard to say.

The line in front of St Nick was resolutely long. But, a mere twenty metres

to the right, sat Mrs Claus, skimming through messages on her iPhone, without a soul to speak to. She cut a lonely figure, which is probably why she was attempting to FaceTime Rudolph. It’s easy to imagine the discussion back at Santa’s workshop – if we split up, we can get through twice as many photos.

How could they have predicted that a cruel and unfeeling world would callously under-estimate the contribution of Mrs. Claus to the whole operation?

As she sat that there, as lonely as a death row inmate, the only consolation I could offer was escape.

Mrs Claus and I busted out behind the menswear section to the car park.

The engine started and the radio came to life (naturally, it was Neikid featuring Dyo and their Yuletide classic ‘I’m Feeling Sexual’). As I headed down the exit ramp towards both the Nepean Highway and, more generally, freedom; I was both surprised and alarmed to find my passenger standing on her seat, her torso protruding through the sunroof, shouting ‘so long suckers’ at the top of her lungs.

Surprised because moments earlier she’d seemed so placid. Alarmed because I knew that at the bottom of the ramp was one of those low hanging metal bars that are the scourge of large four-wheel drive vehicles and if my guest wasn’t careful, she was in danger of a substantial conk to the noggin. The echoing clang of metal colliding with flesh told me my fears were well founded. As a slightly concussed Mrs Claus slumped into my seat, she leaned over and said, ‘Take me to the North Pole.’

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Doggies in control PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON has the upper hand in its crucial match against Langwarrin after the opening day of Round 10 in MPCA Provincial cricket.

Coming into the match in fourth place on the ladder and 12 points behind the Kangas, the Doggies need to win to ensure it is in the best possible position going into the final match of the season, a one-dayer.

Mt Eliza is breathing down the neck of the Dogs, just eight points behind in fifth place. The Mounties are locked in a tough struggle against Sorrento and were 4/174 before rain stopped play after 68 overs.

The Dogs hit 210 in 70 overs

against the Kangas, Brad McDonald the chief run getter with 73.

Langwarrin shared the wickets around with Jake Prosser the best of them with 3/38, while Mal Coutts and Matt Prosser claimed a couple of wickets each.

The home side has got away to a shocking start in reply, reeling at 2/10 with Simon McEvoy again back in the sheds early and Aaron Edwards out for two. Leigh Lambert has both wickets for the Dogs.

Mt Eliza will be hoping for some more runs when it bats for another 12 overs this week against Sorrento.

The Mounties will resume in a strong position and will be looking for another 60-70 runs to set the Sharks a tough total.

Keith Biggs is still at the crease on 40 while Damien Kent and Tim Strickland both hit 35.

Sorrento skipper Bobby Wilson has 2/46 from his 22 overs.

Baxter has one wicket in hand with four overs to bat after play was stopped in their top of the table clash with Peninsula Old Boys.

Baxter will resume at 9/194 after a couple of run outs cost the home team.

Jon Forrest was again the pick of the bowlers for the Old Boys with 2/27 while Tom Feldgen also claimed a couple of wickets.

Pearcedale are just 33 runs away from a victory against Somerville with nine wickets in hand.

The Eagles batted first and Leigh

Lowry top scored with 30, while Sean parker opened with 26.

Shayne Gillings was again at his very best with the ball, ripping through the Eagles to finish with 6/46 from 19 overs, while Nick Pettitt helped himself to 2/20.

In reply, Chris Dew is unbeaten on 56 while Brad Trotter was the man out for 22.

Long Island has set Moorooduc 165 for victory thanks to a wagging tail of Andrew Tweddle (38) and Stuart Swift (36). At one stage the Islanders were 6/65.

Reece Cordeux had an outstanding day with the ball, picking up 4/24 from 18 overs, while Ben Marsh chimed in with a couple.

In reply, the Ducs are 1/22.

Crib Point are again in some strife with the bat after the bowlers did the good work with the ball against Pines.

The Pies are 3/24 in reply to Pines total of 136.

Rhys Chalkley was the best of the bats for Pines with 52, while Pat Jackson ensured the score got over 100 with 19 runs of his own.

Matty Blake did the damage with the ball for the Pies, picking up 5/22 from 13.2 overs, while Glenn Barclay and Brad Davidson got a couple of wickets each.

Duane Annable and Luke Herrington are the not out batsmen after the Pies lost the three wickets in the final 12 overs of play.

McQueen causes headache for Reds DISTRICT

By IT Gully MT MARTHA has some enormous work to do to maintain its position in the top four after the first day of play in MPCA District cricket.

In the final two-day game of the season against Seaford, the Reds will be chasing 277 for victory after Seaford had a day out with the bat on day one of the match.

The Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chances of claiming victory have been made that much harder by the fact that Alex Mason is already back in the sheds after the visitors faced the final 13 overs of the day.

A massive 154 from Ryan McQueen was the key to the big total for Seaford, while Faisal Payenda opened with 26 and Luke McGennisken hit 32 at the end.

Curtis Stone was the pick of the bowlers for the Reds, taking 5/61 from 18 overs, while Kyle bendle and Brett Wilkinson picked up a couple of wickets each.

Mt Martha, who will resume on 1/10, are currently on 74 points and in fourth position on the District ladder.

Heatherhill (third) and Main Ridge (second) are also on 74 points, while Delacombe Park (66 points), Rosebud (66 points) and Baden Powell (62 points) are outside the top bracket but ready to pounce.

Delacombe Park is in the box seat to pick up a win and remain in the finals hunt after holding Red Hill to 9/180. Rain stopped play after 77 overs.

Matthew Merifield top scored for the Hillmen with 46, Carl Robinson hit 45, Simon Dart was out for 30 and Nick Esipoff hit a very handy unbeaten 27. He and Jimmy McCall will be hoping for another 20-plus runs in the final three overs this week.

Andrew Stapleton was again the pick of the Delacombe Park bowlers with 4/69 from 29 overs, while Andrew Mock and Lachy Klauer were both run out.

Baden Powell are in a strong position to keep up the challenge for a top four place after bowling out Flinders for 107.

Skipper Rhys Elmi was superb for

The Main game: Main Ridge have already beaten Heatherhill after bowling them out for 96. Picture: Rab Siddhi

the Braves with 3/15 off 22 overs, while Taylor Harrison claimed 3/32 from 17 overs. Ryan Barnett picked up 2/13 from three overs.

In reply, the Braves are 1/11.

Main Ridge have already beaten Heatherhill.

The Hills batted first and were rolled for 96 with Sam Lyons taking

4/44. Matt Meagher top scored with 26.

While the Ridge didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare much better with the bat, they are still in front at 7/121. Shaun Foster top scored with 35 while Luke Collins (17) and Ed Aarons (19) are the not out batsmen.

Rosebud has plenty of work to

do in its match against Rye, despite bowling out the Demons for 94.

Tom Baron top scored for the Demons with 22 while Billy Quigley (4/23) and Jason Nagel (4/16) did the damage with the ball.

In reply, the Buds are 3/23 with Matt Maher, Brian Doughty and Quigley all back in the sheds.

Seaford Tigers have set Boneo a tough task in their match after Ash Mills hit 109 to help his side to 9/265.

Jon Plakourakis was also more than solid with 63.

Boneo skipper Leigh Janssen was the pick of the bowlers with 4/60 from 23 overs.

Blues’ brothers on fire SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS are sure to finish on top of the MPCA Sub Distrct ladder after smashing 9/318 against second place Ballam Park on Saturday.

The Blues’ brothers Luke and Jake Hewitt dominated, Luke falling short of triple figures by just one run after running out of overs.

Luke finished on 99 after 80 overs while younger brother Jake hit eight

fours in his total of 64.

Rob Hearn contributed 45 and Ash Cole hit 48 to help the Blues well over 300.

Knights’ skipper Stuart Plunkett bowled 40 overs for a return of 2/121, while David Cross bowled 25 overs for a return of 1/102. Zac Clements snared 2/22 from seven overs.

Plunkett and Cross will need to do it all with the bat this week again if the Knights are any chance of winning.

YCW is in the box seat to end Car-

rum’s run at the finals. The Stonecats, in third place on the ladder on 66 points while the Lions are one of three teams on 54 points, rolled the visitors for 132 on Saturday.

Nathan Hudgson was superb for

the Yabbies with the ball, taking 5/61 from 20 overs, while Joel Wylie and Brad Fly picked up two wickets each.

Tyabb are 2/59 in reply.

Dromana are just 17 runs away from victory with six wickets in hand against Skye.

Craig Dunlop was on fire for the Hoppers, taking 6/33 from 18 overs.

Southern sets sights on international coup SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOUTHERN United is hoping to sign an international midfielder as it prepares to kick-off the 2017 NPL women’s season.

The consortium club’s negotiations with the player are advanced but Southern has been careful to ensure that every new signing is a good fit for the inclusive culture the fledgling club is trying to nurture.

It’s believed that the player has made over 100 appearances for her country but recently was granted permanent residency in Australia and is currently interstate.

Southern’s sole visa player is Florida native Courtney Hueston, a midfielder who has played with the Miami Hurricanes and recently graduated from Florida Institute of Technology playing her senior football with the FIT Panthers.

Candela Ferreyra Bas is captain of the seniors and Hueston is vicecaptain.

Southern is in the unique position of having co-coaches for the senior squad.

Bill Mihaloudis has coached at Heidelberg United and South Melbourne while Rob Giabardo has coached in the US and been involved with Beaumaris, Dandenong Thunder and Oakleigh Cannons.

“Our first year was a tough, turbulent year and we’ve had to rebuild the squad but one thing’s for sure, we know we will be very competitive and we’d like to think we can give the league a shake this year,” said Mihaloudis.

“We are very careful about the players we sign because we want the right players here who can also work with the juniors and we have started a mentoring program which we will expand in coming weeks,” said Giabardo.

Mark Cassar is Southern’s technical director, Phil Weiss (ex-Seaford United and Casey Comets) is goalkeeping coach, George Perpina is under-18s coach, Aaron Myatt is under-15s coach while former Matilda Debbie Nichols (head coach) and Emma Bracken (assistant) are again in charge of the under-13s.

Two newcomers to Myatt’s under-15 squad best exemplify the commitment and dedication the club talks about when the topic of club culture arises.

Midfielder Monique Lapenta from Traralgon City and striker Lily Aitken from Traralgon Olympians face a four-hour round trip but have not missed a training session since last October.

Here are the club’s 2017 squads with the previous club of new players in brackets: Under 13s:

Meanwhile the local season kicked off in earnest on Saturday with FFV newcomer Somerville Eagles competing in its first ever official match, an FFA Cup tie against Mitchell Rangers at Monterey Reserve.

Somerville marked the historic event with an entertaining 5-2 win highlighted by three stunning goals – superb volleys from Bjorn Kutschera and Matt Swanson in the first half and a breathtaking free kick in the second half from Damien Finnegan.

State 2 South East outfit Peninsula Strikers boosted its title aspirations last week by signing Aziz Bayeh from Doveton to lead the frontline.

“His impact on the playing group at training last Thursday was immediate and you could see the energy levels rise,” said head coach Craig Lewis.

“This solidifies our ambitions and we were very aggressive in pursuing Aziz who initially decided to stay at Doveton.”

Bayeh scored twice in Saturday’s 3-3 friendly against Beaumaris but failed to convert a second half penalty.

State 1 juggernaut Mornington has been buoyed by news that an application to have the main pitch at Dallas Brooks Park fully floodlit has been approved.

Mornington Shire Council and the state government will pitch in $70,000 and the club will foot the remaining $25,000 for the project which will start on 1 October this year.

Frankston Pines is expected to sign striker Munib Mohamed from Swinburne and Saj Sugrim, a left-sided player from Morwell Pegasus.

The club is poised to announce the capture of four more Mauritian imports in the next fortnight.

Here are the results of some recent friendlies: Seaford Utd 5 Riversdale 3, Frankston Pines 2 Harrisfield Hurricanes 1, Langwarrin 3 Skye Utd 3, Peninsula Strikers 3 Beaumaris 3, Rosebud Heart 2 Elwood 4, Casey Comets 2 Eltham 3.

On Thursday 23 February Peninsula Strikers take on Mornington at Centenary Park at 6.30pm, on Saturday 25 February Casey Comets plays Mazenod at Comets Stadium at 1pm and 3pm and on Sunday 26 February Langwarrin hosts Whittlesea Utd at Lawton Park at 1pm and 3pm.

The draw for next weekend’s FFA Cup matches will be made today (Monday).

Young apprentice in recovery after race fall

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON apprentice jockey, Jack Martin, will be out for several weeks after a race fall at Ballarat on Tuesday the 7th February, after recently being promoted to an “A Grade Licensed Apprentice Jockey” allowing him to ride throughout the Autumn Racing Carnival.

Jack Martin was cleared of any serious injuries after being dislodged off the Shane Nichols- trained Ocean Magic in the opening race at Ballarat.

The filly was able to quickly recover

to follow the rest of the field home, while medical staff rushed to Martin’s aid.

Complaining of a sore shoulder and ankle, Jack Martin had several scans at the Ballarat Base Hospital before being cleared of any structural breaks, however did suffer some soft-tissue damage.

The 21-year-old was released from hospital on Thursday the 9th February and it is expected to be a four to six week recovery period.

The incident follows a successful

week for Martin, winning his first Caulfield metro race aboard the Kym Hann-trained Glenrowan Prince in the $60,000 John Moule Handicap (1100m) on Saturday 4th February.

This was a small milestone for Martin as it provides him with a victory at every metropolitan race-track in Victoria.

The win also provided trainer Kym Hann with his first city winner, a memorable moment that will be sure to last a lifetime.

Recently young Jack Martin was

upgraded from a “B Grade Apprentice Jockey” to an “A Grade Apprentice Jockey” allowing him to ride in Saturday race meetings over the Autumn Carnival and if given the opportunity also Group races.

The decision was made by the Racing Victoria stewards and is generally based around the apprentice jockey’s recent performance and consistency at race meetings.

Under his master Pat Carey, Jack Martin has gained an abundance of knowledge and experience and

successfully graduated from Racing Victoria’s Apprentice Jockey Training Program in 2015.

Jack Martin is currently fifth in the Victorian Apprentice Jockey Premiership standings with 24 winners and holding a strike rate of 7.8 per cent.

Martin sustained a shoulder tear in the race fall but is recovering very well and feeling a bit better each day according to the Victorian Jockeys’ Association representative, Matthew Hyland.

Mornington trainer salutes in Stakes race

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON trainer, Michael Mehegan, earned his first stakes winner last Saturday the 11th February, with his very first runner in a black-type race.

Mehegan decided to pass up on heading to Tasmania and instead took his four year old mare, Prussian Vixen (pictured), to Caulfield to target the Group Three Bellmaine Stakes.

Just back from suspension, Mornington jockey, Jake Noonan, guided the mare to victory in an all-the-way win holding off the fast-finishing Silent Sedition ($3 Favourite) with Ameristralia ($5.50) tailing close behind in third.

“She had previously won at Caulfield, 2 starts back, in a nice race so I knew she would be competitive at black type level and if she put her best foot forward she would be very hard to beat, particularly under the weight conditions,” said Michael Mehegan.

“It was very satisfying to win our first Group race with our first Group starter, especially with a horse that we bred and owned. Surprisingly I was nowhere near as nervous as I thought I would be as I believed her best would be good enough to win, particularly under the set weight and penalty conditions, as she always tries her heart out.”

Noonan had to do it tough dropping to the 55kgs when returning from suspension but with a brilliant ride and a sharp response from Prussian Vixen, it was all worth it as the classy mare held on to salute by a half-head.

“Thank goodness it was worth it,” said Noonan.

“Michael promised me a 24th birthday present and he rewarded me here.” “[Dropping to] 55 after a suspension, first day after, is always testing but it’s always worthwhile when you’re get-

ting on good classy mares like her.”

“She’s in terrific form and every time you raise the bar on her she always steps up.”

“Good on Michael, she’s earnt over 200k in prize money and its good for him to get a bit of black-type with her.”

This is a major stepping stone for Mehegan as he returns after an extraordinarily difficult past few years.

Making a complete recovery in 2012 after being incapacitated for a lengthy

Sudoku and crossword solutions

period of eight years as a result of an accident sustained while working as a horse breaker, Mehegan’s leg was again re-fractured in 2013 when a horse slipped and fell onto it.

Mehegan was forced to spend another two years in rehabilitation until re-entering the racing scene in 2015.

After a disappointing last preparation, Mehegan’s prized thoroughbred was back at her best after an impressive Sandown jump-out and a brave fourth at her first-up run behind

Crystal Dreamer.

“She didn’t come up in the Spring, she had a few soft tissue issues that were preventing her from racing at her best. We thought it best to give her a decent spell and it seems to have paid off as she is in great form,” said Michael Mehegan.

Absolutely flying this prep, Prussian Vixen has placed in her last three starts including an impressive victory in the Mary Lewis Handicap (1100m) at Caulfield last month defeating the

talented Darren Weir- trained, Lyuba.

Prussian Vixen is more than likely going to head towards the Hareeba Stakes (1200m) at her home track of Mornington on the 25th March (Mornington Cup Day) according to trainer Michael Mehegan.

Mehegan is currently in a rebuilding phase with his small stables at the Mornington Racecourse and is hoping Prussian Vixens tough win is a stepping stone for the year ahead.
