Saints’ march of the century THE Saints came marching in last week to wish Benetas’ Corowa Court resident Rewa Pederson many happy returns on her 100th birthday. Players Luke Dunstan, Blake Acres, Nathan Brown, Nick Coffield and Jake Carlise came all the way from Moorabbin for the birthday afternoon tea at the Royal Hotel, Tuesday 23 July. Granddaughter Natalie Pederson said Ms Pederson, a passionate and lifelong St Kilda supporter, was thrilled by the attention and had a memorable birthday. “Footballers are extremely busy so it’s incredible that they could take the time out to be here for this amazing milestone,” she said. “The Saints are a big part of our family culture and my grandma has always stayed connected to them. I’m so grateful to Benetas and to St Kilda for making this happen.”

cal paper suitable for peer scrutiny be produced … rather than a blanket statement to the general public,” the scientist stated. “For ethical experimental work a real ‘opt out’ option should be in place, otherwise a research experiment would not be expected to pass the usual university research ethics committee approval. “This pathway seems to have been avoided with the involvement of health department powers over known infectious diseases processes, such as typhoid outbreaks, where overriding powers are approved. “If your street is sprayed, how can you have an ‘opt out’ option? Conversely, if people do have a real '’opt out'’ option the experimental design would appear to be compromised.” According to the DHHS there were no objections in March from residents when “a pilot spraying program using a residual pesticide” was undertaken in French, Dawn and Goyarra streets, Rye. The “trial” involved spraying trees, bushes and fences along the roads and nature strips with the “barrier spray” bifenthrin. In a letter to councillors, Blairgowrie resident Judy Muir reminded them that Argentine ants were once sprayed with the suspected carcinogen dieldrin. “Hindsight is indeed insightful,” Ms Muir said. She said a “precautionary approach is absolutely necessary before spraying” and asked councillors to “consider most carefully all aspects of random, unscientific trials on both our environment and those who live and visit here”.

Continued from Page 1 Councillors last week called for a report from CEO John Baker on the impact of poisoning mosquitos in areas of Rye, Sorrento, Blairgowrie, and Tootgarook “on the community, flora, fauna and environment of such areas”. The motion moved by Cr Hugh Fraser said there was a “paucity of information that confirms mosquitoes are the vector or cause of the infections”. Residents were concerned that “the broad use of chemical sprays appears to be very drastic action and a disproportionate response…” On Saturday, Cr Gill circulated an email containing opinions he attributed to a scientist “who prefers to be unnamed for professional purposes”. The scientist called the study “an experiment” being doner outside of an “established protocol for dealing with infectious diseases problems”. Asked by The News if chemicals in water, sprayed or "fogged", to control mosquitos was the type of "research" he envisaged when announcing the federal grant, Mr Hunt said it was “vital” to find out about the causes of this “horrible and painful medical condition”. "It is my hope that the Victorian government listens to the community to provide an effective study into the cause of the ulcer, as well as inform the local community on the scope of measures which will be undertaken, with appropriate measures taken to assist those who do not wish to participate,” Mr Hunt said. The unnamed scientist quoted by Cr Gill said other scientists were also concerned with how the Buruli ulcer study was being undertaken. “I suggest that [the shire] request that a techni-
