Good evening: Here’s Hitch MEMBERS of the Australian and Fine Arts Society, Mornington Peninsula, are awaiting John Francis’ lecture: Who Done it? Hitchcock: Master of Suspense, at their next meeting, Friday 31 August. An internationally acclaimed speaker trained as a painter, Mr Francis was awarded the Max Beckmann Memorial Scholarship in New York and later became an artist-in-residence in Texas. He also produced and directed short films and animations. He has taught film, art and pedagogy at universities in the US and Britain. His lecture will examine the films of Hitchcock, the film director and “master of darkness”, who made more than 50 feature films, often about innocent people caught up in events beyond their control. Hitchcock’s catholic upbringing, his uneasy relationship with femininity, and his early works of the Silent Era will be discussed. His Londonbased dramas, Blackmail (1929) and Dial M for Murder (1954), will be analysed. After moving to Hollywood, Hitchcock created several masterpieces of cinema, including Vertigo (1958) and Psycho (1960). Although regarded as entertainment, cinema critics have argued that Hitchcock’s films should be regarded as artistic masterpieces. He remains by far the most studied film director of all time. ADFAS lectures are held at the Peninsula Community Theatre in Wilsons Road, Mornington, 5.30pm on Friday evenings. The hour-long, illustrated lectures are followed by light refreshments. To book call secretary Glad Hungerford 97872092. First-timers free. Other details: Call Vicky Davison 0407 810 877.

WE’RE POWERING FORWARD MAKING ENERGY MORE AFFORDABLE
As Australia’s energy system transitions the Australian Government is making energy more affordable. We’ve turned the corner on electricity prices and reined in the power of the network companies. We’ve secured agreements with retailers to give customers a better deal – saving you hundreds of dollars a year. And we’ve ensured there’s enough gas for Australians before it’s shipped off shore.
Peninsula water plan Continued from Page 1 Cr Payne said drought conditions had impacted rural communities and “should be a major signpost for governments at all levels to maximise opportunities to provide recycled water for current and future generations”. “The reality is the Victorian government should have had this scheme factored into their firefighting strategy,” he said. The shire could also consider involving part of its 230 hectare property, The Briars, Mt Martha, to demonstrate crop development, promoting the recycled water scheme and for education programs. “The development of a recycled water pipeline and system for the peninsula is vital to provide water security to the wide variety of agricultural activities, including wineries, beef production, and agricultural based tourism, as well as firefighting,” Cr Payne said. “All of these activities are key employment and sustainable employment generators.” Nepean Liberal candidate Russel Joseph said the water would be pumped to steel tanks and existing large dams that would be topped up all year. “We would not have to rely on rainfall to fill the dams which would free us from the effects of drought and climate change,” he said. “By using the recycled water we could restore environmental flows to creeks and streams. “Firefighting helicopters could simply lower their booms into large dams to fill their tanks and then be away more quickly.”

A RED Hill petrol station was fined $7929 after petroleum hydrocarbons were found leaking into a nearby stormwater drain. Environment Protection Authority Victoria southern metro manager Marleen Mathias said Mornington Peninsula Shire Council officers found the leak at the front of the United Petroleum station on Arthurs Seat Road in May and notified EPA. “Sampling by EPA officers confirmed that the stormwater system was impacted by hydrocarbons and that it had come from United Petroleum’s service station in Red Hill,” she said. “Council created a barrier downstream from the station’s stormwater discharge point to contain the spill.” Ms Mathias said the polluted stormwater was pumped out and filtered by a waste contractor engaged by United Petroleum and the hydrocarbons were disposed of at an EPA-approved site.
