Students brighten up the cop shop THE foyer at Rosebud police station is brighter and more colourful thanks to the creative input of Rosebud Secondary College students.

As part of their Pathways: Working with Community VCAL classes the students were invited to decorate the station’s four interior pylons with “Themes of community spirit”, following a similar project involving other peninsula schools in 2005.

Art teacher Jan Mair said the students’ work was inspired by nature, keeping the beach, skaters, and one pylon was decorated by the school’s Indigenous students.

Here, Zoe Anderson, Isabel Perrysmith, Ashley Ohlson, and Sophie Henry demonstrate their skills with their brushes.

Jet ski critics ‘demonise’ families BOATING industry association’s have condemned the “repeated and ongoing attacks on Victorian boating families”

by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

This follows the council’s push for residents to back its tough stance against the behaviour of some jet skiers on the bay (“Shire pushing hard line on jet skis The News 27/8/19).

The chair of the Personal Watercraft Industry Association and a past president and life member of the Boating Industry Association of Victoria, Da-

vid Heyes said industry or user groups had “never been consulted in any of the [newspaper] articles fuelled by the [shire] and other minority groups”.

He said “history condemns the behaviour of council and [Rye Community Alliance chair] Michelle Cheers’ hatred of the boating community with their position on the [Rye] boat ramp upgrade and hysteria over PWC use on local beaches”.

“Hatred has nothing to do with it,” Ms Cheers said in response. “It’s about everyone being able to enjoy the beaches and the water and not being affected by the noise and aggression of a minority group.”

She said more than 6000 people had

signed the alliance’s petition to ban jet skis on the southern peninsula.

Mr Heyes said a lack of equality and the lack of sharing of the waterways is “un-Australian and demonises families and children just wanting to enjoy the waterways”.

He said most PWC users were law abiding family people and “should not be marginalised for the actions of a very few”.

Mr Heyes – who works for a multinational company producing and marketing jet-ski propulsion systems – said the boating community “supported tough regulations to deal with unlawful use of craft”.

“If local residents are concerned

about boating behaviours then they should vent their concerns over how the regulations are enforced and not be discriminatory about the boating public.”

Mr Heyes said there had been “no reports of incidents or injury to bathers or jet skiers on the [Mornington] peninsula to date”.

He said the 2000 jet skiers living on the peninsula were enjoying a “legitimate family recreational pastime with the typical rider demographic of a 45-year-old successful white collar professional trade person who is married with children”.

Mr heyes also said jet skis were environmentally friendly with no strakes or

exposed propellers to damage marine life or beach goers; noiseless (“emitting less than 70dba within 30 metres”); pose no threat to amenity; have learner keys and brakes to “stop the vessel on command”; flat bottoms, and the footprint of a kayak or canoe.

Mr Heyes said jet ski clubs “working alongside the PWC industry” provided courtesy rider patrols “where jet ski concentrations are highest” to offer Transport Safety Victoria safety information and “make sure PWC operators are aware of the local rules and regulations”.

“These patrol teams interact with at least 30 PWC operators per day during the season,” he said.

Mural’s deeper meanings change and confidence.

The mayor Cr David Gill said the mural was a great opportunity to further engage students in all aspects of their school life. “They have contributed to the creation of something extraordinary and beautiful that will become a permanent feature of the Rye community,” he said.

Cr Hugh Fraser said the “terrific project will make the environment more vibrant, as well as discouraging graffiti and tagging”.

Cr Bryan Payne said the project was aimed at building stronger, safer communities, tackling exclusion and promoting equality. “It provides the opportunity for up-skilling creative young people. They learn about the process of mural development from concept to design, approval and painting techniques.”

STUDENTS at Rye Primary School have created a stunning community mural in the school grounds with help from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

The project, unveiled on Tuesday 20 August, was led by the students who designed and delivered the mural with the support of shire youth workers.

There’s a deeper meaning to the mural’s shapes, colours and moods which reflect the strong emotions associated with being a young student: The large waves signify fear; the mountains signify small steps that can make a big difference, gusts of wind signify the speed at which emotions can strike and then pass, rays of sunshine signify relief and warmth after anxiety has subsided, flames and fire signify the heat and speed of anger and aggression, spirals signify sadness and negative thinking, and seeds and flowers signify growth,

Shire’s push for better bus services Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PUBLIC transport users are backing a push by Mornington Peninsula Shire for better bus services across the peninsula.

They say about 82 per cent of the peninsula is not serviced by public transport and that the shire has the second lowest public transport service in the greater Melbourne area. Peninsula residents are five times less likely to travel to work by public transport than those in Greater Melbourne, and only 3 per cent take public transport to work compared with 15 per cent across Melbourne.

Potential users say they are unhappy with the buses, citing their infrequency, overcrowding, unreliability and lack of direct routes for making it hard to get to work and study.

They say the poor service fosters an over-reliance on cars.

The mayor Cr David Gill last week launched the Better Buses campaign, saying the lack of public transport had “social, economic and environmental impacts across the community, and was adversely affecting the daily lives of residents”.

“Better bus services are key for our residents to access jobs, education, social occasions and medical services,” he said.

“The peninsula is the forgotten land in terms of public transport. We live in a two-tiered landscape where buses only service some of our townships.

“We are suffering from a long-term lack of funding in public transport that

has reached breaking point.

“It is unacceptable that if you have a disability, or are too young or too old to drive, then you can’t get where you need to go on the peninsula.”

Cr Gill said it can take two hours – “often much more” – to go by bus from Balnarring to Mornington, a distance of about 20 kilometres. “That’s just not

acceptable,” he said.

“There are solutions, specifically introducing a cross-peninsula bus route, and extending and increasing the number of buses on existing routes, such as the 788 Portsea-to-Frankston.

“We know that $10 million a year would fix many of the problems experienced by current bus users, and in-

deed encourage more users as service levels and accessibility improve.

“This amount is small in comparison to what is spent on public transport in other areas.

“Upgrades to other routes are also urgently needed, and council is committed to working with the state government and exploring every possible

option and available solutions to this community issue.”

Mornington MP David Morris has called for a bi-partisan approach to solving public transport woes on the peninsula.

In Parliament last week he said he called on public transport minister Melissa Horne to convene an urgent meeting of all peninsula MPs and Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors to “address our public transport problems”.

“I am suggesting we need to all sit down around the table – the three local members, the councillors and the minister – and try and get some resolution, because the government cannot keep ignoring the Mornington Peninsula when it comes to public transport.”

Mr Morris said he told the parliament public transport had not kept pace with population growth. “I raised the issue of the route 788 bus,” he said.

“Ventura, the operator, agreed there was a problem. They had a solution.

The minister would not agree. The final response I got was: ‘The member’s interest in these services has been noted, and will be included in considerations for planning in the future’.

“Well, the kids who cannot get on the route 788 bus are not interested in planning for the future. They want the problem fixed now.”

The council wants residents to support the campaign on social media (#betterbuses) or by dropping a Better Buses postcard at one of 30 collection boxes across the shire.

GetUp sees ‘Labor arm’ claim as a set up Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt says the left-leaning activist GetUp was “completely and utterly engaged with the Labor Party” in his electorate during the lead-up to the May federal election.

“You could see them working with them, talking with them, handing out for each other,” Mr Hunt told his audience at the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday 14 August.

In Flinders, GetUp distributed three how-to-vote cards, one with former Liberal MP Julia Banks in the number one position, one with Labor’s Joshua Sinclair first and the other headed by The Greens (Vic) Nathan Lesslie.

GetUp placed Mr Hunt seventh in the nine-way contest.

Mr Sinclair has denied working “in

any way” with GetUp, saying it was “laughable” to suggest anything else (“Set up by GetUp” Letters 20/8/19).

“They even gave me an amber light rating for my environmental record.

Golly gosh, with friends like GetUp, who needs enemies?”

Mr Hunt was comfortably re-elected to the seat he has held since 2001, despite a 3.8 per cent swing against him on primary votes; Labor’s primary vote dropped nearly 3 per cent.

GetUp’s national director Paul Oosting said the organisation’s how-to-vote cards were about issues.

“They’re unique because, unlike [those of] the parties and candidates, ours show voters at least two - and up to four - ways to vote on a particular issue like climate change, not for just one candidate.”

Three days after Mr Hunt’s appearance at the press club, the Prime Min-

ister Scott Morrison accused GetUp of making “vile personal attacks” on Liberal candidates during the most recent election campaign.

Mr Morrison suggested holding a parliamentary inquiry, which would then present its findings to the Australian Electoral Commission in a fourth attempt to have GetUp recognised as an arm of Labor or the Greens.

Mr Oosting said the AEC ruling in February “confirmed the independence of our 2016 election how-to-vote campaign, highlighting that our voting guides emphasise issues, rate candidates on issues, and feature multiple candidates”.

“Forcing the AEC to once again investigate GetUp’s independence is a political stitch-up and a waste of public money.

“GetUp members are teachers and nurses, mums and dads, students and

pensioners. They spent this election campaign having heart to heart conversations with voters about the issues they care about.”

Mr Oosting said the “false and misleading attacks” against GetUp by Mr Morrison and Mr Hunt had led to a “surge in support and fundraising”.

GetUp is no stranger to Mr Hunt, having organised demonstrations against him when he was environment minister over preserving the Great Barrier Reef and the Adani coal mine. Colourful demonstrations, not always involving GetUp, saw people dressed as reef fish and even angels climbing onto the roof of his Hastings office.

In answer to question from The Australian’s Olivia Caisley, Mr Hunt told the press club that he would not comment on what the AEC “may do as an independent body” if it again investi-

gated GetUp. “I’ll just make it absolutely clear that my experience is that GetUp was completely and utterly engaged with the Labor Party on the ground in our electorate. You could see them working with them, talking with them, handing out for each other,” he said.

“They obviously cooperate, they obviously act as if they are a part of the Labor Party.”

Mr Hunt said the “common-sense observation … is that GetUp is effectively the campaigning arm of the Labor Party”.

He predicted that people who had joined GetUp “thinking they were just a simple community movement, will increasingly find themselves concerned about what is an extreme and an aggressive and an American-style political action unit here in Australia”.

NEWS DESK Rally for pets SAVE Mornington Pound Pets will hold a rally outside the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices, corner Queen and Main streets, Mornington, 3-4pm, Sunday 8 September.

The group says the rally’s aims are to “achieve change at the pound so there are better outcomes for the pets and their owners”.

It wants the shelter to follow NoKill principles, allow volunteers to assist there, and to create a foster care program. It wants all unclaimed pets listed for adoption, and all lost pets listed on the lost pets’ website.

The group wants a subsidised desexing program for pets of disadvantaged owners and have lost pets advertised for adoption in a variety of media.

Keep cats inside THE RSPCA says stray cats are eight times less likely to be reclaimed than lost dogs.

In the 2018/19 financial year the RSPCA took in 11,200 cats.

The animal welfare organisation – I line with Mornington Peninsula Shire regulations – says cats should be “contained for various reasons”.

The RSPCA says that indoor cats have the same, or better, quality lives than outdoor cats.

Benefits of keeping cats indoors include: less risk of illness, injury or death; less risk of them becoming lost, a stray or impounded by the council; less likely to harm or kill wildlife and other animals RSPCA Australia’s guide Keeping Your Cat Safe and Happy Indoors provides advice, tips and tricks to keeping or transitioning your cat indoors.

With Stephen Taylor

Youth charged over fire and burglaries A SOMERVILLE teenager has been charged with criminal damage by fire after an ATM in Eramosa Road East was scorched by a Molotov cocktail, 11.50pm, Tuesday 20 August.

Somerville CFA fire crews were able to restrict the fire to the front of the building and no other shops were damaged.

Detectives used CCTV footage to identify the 16-year-old who has also been charged over a series of burglaries at Somerville Plaza and an aggravated burglary at a Somerville house, 11.15am, Monday 26 August.

Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Jason Hocking, of Somerville CIU, said a startled resident arriving home chased the teenager along the railway line before he was arrested by police in possession of cash taken from the house.

He was allegedly wearing the same clothing shown on the bank’s CCTV the night the ATM was fire bombed.

Detective Hocking said the teenager was also charged with four counts of burglary after a series of night raids on cafes and a pharmacy in the plaza in which cash from tills and alcohol were stolen.

Detectives will allege the teenager used shopping trolleys to smash plate glass windows to gain entry to the premises at the plaza.

He has been bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date.

Detectives hunt bandits TWO men who smashed a plate glass door at the Woolworths supermarket in Baxter stole more than $130,000 in cigarettes and cash about 3.30am, Wednesday 28 August.

The men are shown on CCTV footage using an angle grinder to break into the store on Baxter-Tooradin Road and climbing over

service counters. Detectives believe the men later attempted to force a roller door at a Coles Liquorland, Ashleigh Avenue, Frankston, but failed.

They are shown wearing hoodies, masks and gloves and driving off in a dark coloured SUV. Anyone with information can call Detective Hocking 5978 1300 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Peninsula roads action TRAFFIC police taking part in the National Day of Action, above, say it is a direct response to the

“horror year which is taking place on Australian roads”.

As part of the campaign an alcohol and drug testing site was set up in Marine Parade, Hastings where 321 drivers were breath tested, with one returning a positive result for drugs.

Police say they plan to set up testing sites at random locations across the peninsula to conduct mobile and stationary speed checks.

Up until Wednesday last week 13 people had lost their lives on Frankston and Mornington Peninsula roads.

View from the Eagle

THE workers – and not the fee-paying public – had a bird’s eye view of the bay from the top of the Arthurs Seat Eagle last week.

They were carrying out annual maintenance work which cannot be carried out during normal operating periods.

“At Arthurs Seat Eagle we take your safety seriously and therefore schedule an annual shut

down to allow us to undertake major preventative maintenance works,” a notice on the company’s social media site said.

“We apologise for any inconvenience, however the safety of our guests and our ability to consistently deliver a quality experience is our utmost priority.”

The Eagle reopened Sunday 1 September.

National talk on mental health at Safety Beach ALL aspects of the mental health system will be the main topic this week at a meeting in Safety Beach.

The public meeting is part of the National Mental Health Commission’s nation-wide Connections Project to eventually provide “a new system [that] will essentially respond to a person’s individual needs in their community”.

The commission is visiting Safety Beach as part of a 26-city national tour that began in July and ends this month.

The mental health commission’s CEO, Christine Morgan, said the commission was committed to ensuring people with “living experience of mental health and suicidality were supported in the best way possible”.

“We know everyone’s experience of the mental health system is different and we want to hear from people about what has worked for them to date, their challenges and any barriers, and what they envision for the future,” she said.

“This is about ensuring that the voices of those with a living experience of mental health and suicidality are involved in Australia’s 2030 Vision for mental health, and are contributing to the design of an improved approach.”

Ms Morgan said changes in financing mental health services over the past few years, new programs and services had led to “new and exciting opportunities for doing things differently”.

“What is needed now is a unified mental health system that takes a whole-of-person, whole-oflife, whole-of-community approach to mental health. A system which is accessible in-community, is easy to navigate, and delivers meaningful outcomes for the individual.”

The Health Minister, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, encouraged everyone involved in mental health and suicide prevention, “especially those with living experience, carers, families and supporters” to attend the meeting.

“Delivering the world’s best mental health system – stigma-free and focused on prevention, is the major focus of the Australian government’s long term national health plan,” Mr Hunt said.

“We know everyone’s experience of the mental health system is different. The National Mental Health Commission wants to hear from the community of its triumphs and challenges.

“The Connections Project provides a unique opportunity for those with lived experience to be part of the conversation and I urge all interested locals to join with me in attending.”

The National Mental Health Commission’s meeting will be at Safety Beach Sailing Club, 185 Marine Drive, Safety Beach, 4.30pm6.30pm Thursday 5 September. Register at makingconnections-safetybeach.eventbrite.com. au, call 1800 220 246 or email community@nmhcconnections.com.au Keith Platt

Call for 'tap on the shoulder' for Takata SPONSORED CONTENT AR makers are calling on every Australian to tap someone they know on the shoulder - family, friends, neighbours or work colleagues - and urge them to check if their vehicles are affected by the Takata airbag recall.

The faulty airbags have the potential to kill vehicle drivers and passengers. There have been 26 reported deaths and more than 300 reported injuries globally attributed to the airbags.

The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber said the status of more than 7.8 million vehicles have been checked on the industry's airbag recall website ismyairbagsafe.com.au.

This had helped identify more than 1.2

QUICK CHECK FOR SAFETY

PRIVATE SALES

"We are pleading with owners to check the status of their vehicles. It's time everyone joined this campaign by urging family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues to check if their vehicles are affected," Mr Weber said.

"A quick tap on the shoulder could be the personal reminder that saves a life or prevents a serious injury.

"This personal approach is particularly important for the elderly and people with limited English language skills."

"We offer a simple and free checking process - visit ismyairbagsafe.com.au and enter

It is important that people buying used vehicles privately check the recall status of a vehicle.

"The ACCC has placed requirements on licensed dealers to ensure vehicles are identified and rectified prior to sale. However, these requirements do not apply to private sales of vehicles," he said.

"Our advice is clear. If you are looking to privately purchase a used vehicle, please check the vehicle's recall status on the industry website."

THOUSANDS of hand-made paper moths, including some by Mornington Peninsula schoolchildren, form the basis of the Moth Migration Project by Hilary Lorenz at Oak Hill Gallery, Mornington. Picture: Supplied

Moths central to creators’ global network WHEN it comes to moths as works of art, they can also be a metaphor for the benefits of migration.

Nocturnal pollinators without borders, moths inspired US artist Hilary Lorenz to design a “Moth Migration Project” that would see thousands of hand-painted moths come flying to her from around the world.

Lorenz sees the paper moths crowdsourced from around the world as a symbol of communication in both the physical and digital world and “a tool for building communities of diverse cultures, ages, and nationalities”.

The hand drawn and cut paper moths started arriving after Lorenz

published an invited on social media for people to depict moths native to their geographic location.

“The moths become a symbol of the global network with currently over 20,000 submissions from 26 countries,” Lorenz says.

Her Moth Migration Project “created a spirit more significant than any single community by fostering authentic connections and engaging public participation through a synergy of shared experience and embracing mutual respect for personal uniqueness and creativity”.

“The spirit of belonging is elevated when each moth making participant

receives their own postcard certification of recognition acknowledging their outstanding contribution.”

Lorenz says using crowdsourcing to create art “dramatically changed my role and my practice”.

“As an artist, I almost always work alone. Now, I feel like a conductor holding it together, encouraging each person to roll with their idea.”

She had a vision “and I knew that if I welcomed everyone in, it would be far more magnificent”.

Hilary Lozenz’s Moth Migration Project opens at Oak Hill Gallery, 100 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Mornington on Sunday 1 September. Keith Platt

Reality show may change everything for model artist Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au IT would be easy for audiences to miss the nuances that go into the staging of reality shows on TV. Engrossed in the quick repertoire of “contestants” or by their sideways glances at their partners or opponents, the set – or in the case of Channel 9’s The Block, a building under renovation – can go relatively unnoticed.

But for Mornington-based artist Maria Rodun one decoration added to a master bedroom stood out like a shining light.

Sitting atop a chest of drawers on the show’s Sunday 25 August episode was one of Rodun’s works, a painting of a nude woman she titled Folded.

It was a small thing compared to The Block’s overall presentation and its underlying dramas, but to Rodun it signalled an acceptance and validation of her art.

Her studio in a building that to all outside appearances is a factory in Mornington’s light industrial area, is divided into rooms and leased to “creatives” at Black Spot Gallery and Studios.

The space is a hive of industry for artists and designers and has enough room for exhibitions.

Rodun’s contribution to The Block was achieved when contestants were able to choose artworks from the show’s nominated supplier, the online gallery Art Lovers Australia.

Watched by hundreds of thousands, Rodun’s work was obviously spotted by some viewers and led to her social media “getting lots of engagement and a few more followers”.

“Some people have bought prints of the painting that was in the show, which is nice, and I’m still hoping for more sales and commissions,” Rodun said on Friday, five days after the show went to air.

Now a full time artist, Russian-born Rodun

Light inspirations: Maria Radun sees the “play of light” on her subjects, figures or landscapes, as the basic inspiration for work. Picture: Yanni

came to Australia with her family when she was 10, “an age when you’ve already made friends you care about deeply and you are very attached to your school and all your activities, but you’re not quite old enough to understand just what this kind of change means or know to ask for what you need”.

“Not knowing any English, the first few years were difficult. It was a strenuous time for the whole family, my parents worked hard to provide for me and my two brothers.”

However, she adapted to her new home and within two years was “talking to my Aussie friends without much of an accent”.

Rodun credits the therapeutic and healing qualities of drawing and painting as having helped her settle in.

Dreaming of being an artist, Rodun took the more practical course and studied design after leaving school.

“I also did illustration, where I could apply my drawing skills more directly, although image making was becoming highly digitised and the work, more corporate rather than artistic.”

She worked as an illustrator and graphic designer during her 20s, all the time keeping up a steady attendance at workshops and life drawing classes.

On turning 30, she decided to turn her dream into reality and enrolled in fine arts at Monash University.

Now a full time artist, Rodun says she has spent the past few years developing a “personal approach” to portraits and the figures, “while

studying the classical traditional techniques of painting”.

“Every painting is an attempt to evoke a sense of stillness and a contemplative mood that would draw the viewer into quiet conversation.”

Her painting of a nude woman mostly hidden behind a large, tightly clutched cushion is titled “The impermanence of comfort”.

Radun says her “process” often involves preliminary sketches and observational drawing to help develop composition and a better understanding of her subject.

Photographs can be a useful reference but are not “always as true to the real thing”. But they are “convenient, unchanging, detailed” and allow her to “take my time in the comfort of my studio”.

However, it is the play of light on a subject that always forms the basis for inspiration.

“I view figures, still life and landscapes as opportunities to explore the effects of light on form. As a former designer, I am also drawn to strong composition, balance and of course, colour,” she says.

“I am intrigued by how we perceive ourselves through the eyes of others. I like to explore ideas relating to our relationship with our own bodies, drawing upon my own personal experience from the perspective of a woman in contemporary society.”

While enjoying “the personal connection, mutual understanding and empathy that develops between artist and the model”, Radun also often depicts herself, as she did with Folded, the work chosen by The Block contestants, Matt and El’ise.

“It’s a probably common for artists to use themselves this way, as models are expensive,” she says If sales and inquiries in the wake of The Block are any indication, the days of needing use herself as a model may be drawing to a close.

Recharged – and your pick-up is on the way

Power to the people: Driver Rob Arrowsmith is happy with his electric car’s ‘fuel’ economy.

Picture: Yanni

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Uber driver Rob Arrowsmith has taken charge of his fuel expenses by going all-electric in his Hyundai Ioniq.

He typically does a fast charge for free at the Peninsula Home centre on Nepean Highway, Mornington, before heading out to collect passengers, or plugs in for an in-depth charge overnight at his Edithvale home for about $8.

The dual-port 22kW AURA charger was installed at Peninsula Home in mid-July. It is free and does not need a smart phone app for access. It provides

40-120km of battery-powered driving for every hour of charge, depending on the type of electric vehicle.

Mr Arrowsmith says he gets 200km from a full charge and drives 50,000km a year. Since switching over from a petrol-powered car he says he saves $5000 a year in fuel bills which means that, over 10 years, he will recoup the $50,000 cost of his car.

“Electric vehicles are great around town,” Mr Arrowsmith said. “Contrary to petrol cars, electric vehicles thrive in stop-start traffic because they recharge their batteries as they slow down – a process called regenerative braking.

“On the other hand, they are not as fuel efficient as petrol-powered cars on long trips, so they have to be

recharged more often.”

This is becoming less of a problem as charging stations are beginning to spring up around Melbourne and interstate, with apps available that show their locations. There is one at Mt Martha and one at Rosebud.

Mr Arrowsmith said a July trip to Parkes in central NSW for the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing illustrated his car’s fuel economy. “We stopped to recharge at Euroa, then Barnawartha North, which has a solarbattery system, and then at Narrandera, Parkes and West Wyalong. It was a great trip and didn’t cost us a cent in fuel bills, whereas it would have cost us $150 in a petrol-powered car.

“It all depends on how you drive.

In the six months I have owned the car I reckon I have saved $2000 that I would have spent on petrol.”

Mr Arrowsmith said his only regret since buying his car in February is that he didn’t spend $15,000 more on a car with a bigger battery, such as a $65,000 Nissan Kona, which would have given him a range of 450km between charges.

“Battery technology is improving so fast that costs are coming down rapidly,” he said. “One company is even making adaptors that fool a car’s computer into thinking it is talking to its own manufacturer’s make of battery when it’s another make entirely.

“Soon you will be able to buy batteries that go into all electric vehicles

which will bring the prices down.”

Electric vehicle specialists EVolution Australia director Russ Shepherd said many families were delaying buying their next car while waiting for suitable electric vehicle options.

“Family and budget friendly cars, such as the Tesla 3 and Nissan LEAF, will change the face of driving as we know it, and many other manufacturers are planning to launch EVs in coming months,” he said.

“Transport accounts for the second largest source of greenhouse gas pollution in Australia, and emissions are projected to continue to grow up to 2030, so it’s vital we curb our use of traditional diesel and petrol vehicles as soon as possible.”

Revenue raising with rates and straying animals Why would we expect anything else but smoke and mirrors from Mornington Peninsula Shire and the state government (“Rate rise above CPI despite government ‘cap’” Letters 28/8/19)?

Rate capping was just a way for the state government to not get blamed for council rate rises. It then agreed to annual property revaluations.

My capital improved value has gone from $610,000 in 2017/2018 to $890,000 in 2018/2019 to $980,000 for 2019/2020.

If this keeps going it will force a lot of retired people and those on fixed incomes out of their homes because of excessive rates.

As far as the warning to vets on reporting stray animals, in most cases the animals have been let out by accident and the vets who want to do the right thing are being penalised. It is nothing more than revenue raising (“Vets wary of shire’s ‘strays’ contract” The News 20/8/19). After all, we have to find money to pay the salaries of senior officers.

Unfortunately, councils seem to have lost sight of what they were intended to be - the supplier of local services to the residents of their municipalities, not just another level of empire-building government.

We would all be better off f they stopped sitting around thinking up new creative ways on “how to get more out of our ratepayers” and just do their jobs.

I used to have a high opinion of the local council, but every time I hit one of the increasing number of potholes in our roads it brings it home to me how things have deteriorated in the last 10 years or so.

I bet the largest expenditure in VicRoads’ budget is the “rough roads ahead” signs that seem to go up instead of fixing them. I guess the cost of a sign is cheaper. Barry Kirkpatrick, Mt Martha

Rates reflect value James McLoughlin’s complaint about his latest rates notice highlights a common misconception about how individual rates are calculated (“Rate rise above CPI despite government cap” Letters 28/8/19).

As mayor, I am sometimes asked why rates have increased by more than the 2.5 per cent cap set by the state government.

The rate cap means council’s overall income from rates can only be increased by 2.5 per cent.

However, an individual’s contribution to the council’s overall rates income pool is determined by the value of their property. It is based on the progressive tax principal, the higher the value of your property, the larger your share of rates.

If the value of your property has changed substantially in the annual assessment, your share of the total rates pool may be higher or lower than the 2.5 per cent cap. If your rates have increased more than the 2.5 per cent cap, it means that the value of your property has increased more than the average increase across the shire.

Mr McLoughlin also expressed the opinion that the shire’s requirement for vets to report any stray dog returned to its owner is motivated purely by the desire to impose a fine. The truth is the state

government mandates this action by local councils under the Domestic Animals Act 1994.

David Gill, Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor

Recognising Buruli Thank you for your ongoing effective coverage of the issues around the Buruli ulcer (“No to fogging in ‘mossie’ fight” The News 28/8/19). Like many locals I am relieved that the chemical “fogging” will not occur.

One vital action was recommended by Dr Jon Priestley, of Blairgowrie at the Rye public forum.

He urged that all health professionals and workers be educated to recognise possible ulcers and arrange swabs early to enable fast treatment. This will reduce the terrible complications of delayed treatment.

Given that visitor infections are on the rise all of Victoria’s medical people need this information.

Joy Kitch, Blairgowrie

On the home front Stop smoking? Brilliant idea, forgetting the nervous breakdown certainty. I’ll take the odds, four years over the average age for males, shooting for another seven at 90.

Surely by then we will have seen the backside of our current prime minister, renamed SeldomSeen. Spends so much time overseas maybe he should stay there? But wait. Then we would have to stomach our deputy PM, Michael McCormack, the brain machine?

Sco Mo to the rescue. A warship to the Gulf, royal commissions into banks, child abuse, aged care, the Murray-Darling Basin, mental health.

Locally, revelations associated with Crown casino, the recycling crisis, franchise cheats, wage theft, education scams and defective (Federation Square) buildings.

Despite the overwhelming evidence to abolish robodebt, the government refuses to do so. A flawed scheme contrary to basic legal principles (guilty before innocence).

As Northcote cricketer Bill Lawry would say: “It’s all happening”.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Hydrogen conundrum After attending yet another “community information” session at the Hub in Hastings and speaking to the same person I had spoken to at a previous session, I again came away non the wiser. At previous events I wanted some information on the composition of the solid residue left after turning 160 tonnes of brown coal into three tonnes of hydrogen, and how and where Kawasaki intended to safely store or dispose of this residue. The very polite and nice young woman at the “information” session was very apologetic for not having come back to me with the relevant information.

When I mentioned that I may have to put send another letter to The News about the inability of Kawasaki to answer a very pertinent question about its processes, she asked for me to give them a week to get back to me. Sadly, more than a week has passed and I’m still waiting on in-

Southern Peninsula News 4 September 2019

formation I had been seeking at several of their “information sessions”.

Why, after I through my state government’s $50million contribution to this ill thought out venture, can’t get a simple answer to a simple question?

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Children don’t know I’m not surprised that Rupert Steiner will be marching with the school children against climate change on 20 September (“March for change” Letters 27/8/19). I have not taken much notice of what the children are demanding, nobody does, and I don’t think the children know either. I’d say they are victims of Facebook.

Mr Steiner says that beach erosion is caused by climate change, and that I remind him of the two old blokes in the balcony on the Muppet Show making comments. A decade ago the Port Phillip Heads were significantly opened up for the passage of larger, deeper container ships so that the Port of Melbourne could make more money. The heads were always a bulwark bottleneck, a resistance, to the huge oceanic tides rushing into the bay. Our government was warned that opening up this gap would cause severe and different currents, higher peak tides, erosion of beaches, sand and cliffs. This is exactly what happened.

Mr Steiner can march with the misguided children until his toes turn green, but if he wants to restore the bay he has to make the moon recede and, while he’s at it, pour some water onto the sun, which manufactures our climate.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

centre.

To suggest that teachers are influencing young minds is ludicrous to say the least. The United Nations’ 2012-2014 survey on sea level increases in the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere is, let me see, oh yes, five years out of date? I also noticed in the Channel 9 news that right now, our dams are at 59 capacity, that’s not very good for this time of year. Climate change is happening, even in our backyard.

John Cain, McCrae

Duty of care. Where?

Why is it that we need news organisations to expose what we all know and make the government take action after the whole herd of brumbies have bolted from the corral? How can they find corruption and our gambling control boards miss it?

The we hear that high-rolling tourists are being invited to hunt and kill wombats at a luxury hunting lodge run by a Chinese businessman with links to Crown casino.

And now we find that Home Affairs had an agreement to fast-track visa applications for Crown customers and claims that federal MPs attempted to influence visa approvals for international high rollers.

It seems we need a royal commission on the effectiveness of these industry policing agencies.

Or maybe a royal commission to investigate why the scope of royal commissions is so narrow and why they have no powers of prosecution?

What is the duty of care that our elected officials have to us? Not much, I would suggest.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

And now, the news

Disabled toilets for all

I just wish to clear up a couple of points about my source of news (“Fox avoids change” Letters 27/8/19). If John Cain had done 10 seconds of research he would have realised that all news presenters mentioned are actually on Sky News and not Fox. He also failed to mention Richardson, Conroy and Butler, from the left, who also have shows and appear on Sky. I tend to watch 7 News followed by the ABC and read both papers.

Mr Cain asks if Fox News told me that the Okjokull glacier in Greenland had disappeared. No it didn’t. But Sky News told me that one with the same name in Iceland had.

Mr Cain and Rupert Steiner have to be respected for their views, but I wish they would check their facts before jumping into print and making statements that a simple Google click could correct.

Michael Free, Mt Martha

Disabled toilets can be used by anyone (“Disabled only” Letters 14/8/19). You can get clarification of this by contacting Mornington Peninsula Shire’s building surveyor.

The building code was amended many years ago to include disabled facilities.

Developers never wanted to install them, so the compromise was that the number of male and female toilets would be reduced on the basis that everyone would have access to the disabled ones.

What has the world come to when we have uneducated, inaccurate opinions printed in the paper as if they are facts?

Name and address supplied, Mornington

Moveable monoxide We are apparently immune to climate change because it’s all happening up in the Northern Hemisphere; we have no need to worry as it seems it’s not going to come down here (“A northern problem” Letters 28/8/19).

But what about the lungs of the world burning virtually out of control? Carbon monoxide poisoning won’t stay up north and parts of South America are reasonably close to the equator.

Let’s hope those stumps on the beach boxes in Mt Martha go a lot deeper into the sand (“MPs disagree with experts over beach’s survival” The News 28/8/19).

The “little miss 16” on Sky News was probably a “set up”. No child is that unenlightened and I recall one current affair program being caught spreading needles around a drug rehabilitation

‘Goliath’ downed Thanks to all the 80 plus submissions against the Kaufland shopping development [at Mornington] who ranged from the combined retail interests of Ritchies, the Mornington Village centre, Mornington and Mt Eliza chambers of commerce, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Mornington Environmental Association, South Eastern Centre for Sustainability, Guard our Gateway group, David Morris MP, and individuals who stood up for their rights and presented at the public hearing. You should be proud of your efforts for this was as David and Goliath situation.

Now, how can we convince Bata, the company which owns that site, to be open and consultative about use of its site? Community consultation and stakeholders should start creating new achievable projects to make the best use of this land assuming Bata will quit their business and investment interests and realise that the world has changed.

A thoughtful ear FOR many people, the couch is the first image that comes to mind when they think of psychotherapy with a notepad and quiet, contemplative therapist writing down your every word. These days, the world of psychology has changed dramatically, with behaviour therapy including an emphasis on the thoughts and feelings of the person. Clinical psychologist, Kerrie Salsbury talks about therapy today and how it can change people’s lives.

Treatment of emotional or psychological problems can be traced to antiquity, when the ancient Greeks were the first to identify mental illness as a medical condition, rather than a sign of malevolent deities. While their understanding of the nature of the mental illness was not always correct and their treatments rather unusual, they did recognize the treatment value of encouraging and consoling words, with invaluable results that continue today.

“I am passionate about supporting adults and older persons with a diverse range of mental health difficulties, and specialise in disordered eating and gender dysphoria among other issues,” said Ms Salsbury, who has recently started as a practitioner at Whole Medicine in Rosebud. “I work with clients who have experienced trauma, feel intense moments of sadness, irritability, and anxiety with an aim to provide an empathic and supportive environment, which fosters personal insight, growth and positive change.”

For Salsbury, who made the sea change to the peninsula with her family in the past few months, helping people

with her unique specialties is something she is keen to offer to the area.

“I have done a lot of work around disordered eating, particularly in regards to bariatric surgery, having worked alongside several bariatric surgeons,” said Salsbury, who specialises in pre-operative assessments and advice, and supporting clients long term. “It is rewarding to be able to help people throughout what is probably one of the most significant journeys in their life.”

Salsbury says her philosophy is about embracing health at every size.

“The most important thing is to encourage my clients to adopt lifestyle habits for the purpose of health and well-being, rather than weight control.

Initial support for many of my clients consists of equipping them with mindfulness tools to reduce emotional eating, non-hungry eating, mindless eating, and cravings for sugar or carbohydrates.

Longer term, I encourage my clients to explore what drives the negative attitudes and beliefs that keeps them locked into disordered eating behaviours, addictive patterns, or body dissatisfaction,” said Salsbury. “I have seen an increase in patients coming to me with disordered eating and, particularly in high school, bulimia has almost become a norm. It is the silent disease, unlike anorexia which can be clearly seen. Binging and purging is a slippery slope but can be stopped with education and understanding.”

Salsbury says that therapy can be a bit up and down and it is important for patients to know that.

“It can be a challenging road for anyone. Learning to sit in uncomfortable

feelings is sometimes a necessary step which can make you feel like you have gone backwards. However, the benefits are profound when you think of the changes waiting around the corner once people have dealt and understood issues in their lives,” said Salsbury.

“We have seen an increase in the last two to three years of those seeking help from a psychologist in relation to gender dysphoria,” she said. “Gender dysphoria is the distress felt by people whose sense of being male or female differs from the gender they are assigned at birth based on their sex. For some people, the difference between their gender identity and physical characteristics can cause significant and persistent emotional distress.”

Salsbury says gender dysphoria has probably been around for years but was misunderstood.

“The great thing is we now have holistic teams working with gender dysphoric clients. My role, as a clinical psychologist, is to guide clients through the uncomfortable emotions and help them find distress tolerance tools. Quite often this doesn’t work, so we then need to work out the next step with a team of professionals.”

For Salsbury, working as a clinical psychologist has become so much more than just a job.

“It is the most rewarding thing I can ever imagine doing. It is life changing and I am lucky to be able to show each individual that I am here for them, which may be something they had never experienced in their life.” www.wholemedicine.com.au

Finally, Relief From Your Hip Pain DOES this describe YOU? • You get hip pain laying on your side in bed, and just can’t get to sleep.

• You place a pillow between your legs to help you get to sleep but laying on the painful side is still waking you.

• You find yourself standing on one leg with your other hip hanging lower, or you sitting with crossed legs causes the pain • You are a runner worried your hip pain will get worse and stop you from exercising.

If so then read on.

The pain on the outside of the hip can be due to inflammation of the gluteal tendon, of Gluteus Medius and Minimus, where the gluteal muscles attach. It can also be where a bursa (a fat pad called the trochanteric bursa) can become inflamed. The hip pain may be associated with a stiff back.

Physiotherapist May Wan, says that it is an injury affected by hip weakness and postural habits that place the tendons under stress. It requires a full analysis of the hip and lower limb, looking from the foot to the back biomechanics.

It can require massage, and specific strengthening exercises for the gluteal muscles as well as improving core stability to control pelvic movement.

In addition to the above solutions, there is a recent healing technology that is making a profound difference to outside of the hip pain sufferers.

Practice owner, Paul Rowson says

Physiotherapist, May Wan. “Shockwave Therapy is often useful, because the gluteal tendons are a connective tissue, not a muscle. It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to. It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area.

Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon.”

Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, golfer’s and tennis elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems,

and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries.

Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients.

Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance.

But for more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results.

“The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a success rate up to 90%” May says.

The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period

to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation” May says, “like most physio hands-on treatments, with a little discomfort during the treatment.”

Paul says, “After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain. The best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It prevents a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections.

The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and

cannot be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders. “ “It is important to know that Shockwave has a long-term effect.

Most of the time you have good outcomes, without having to have further treatments.”

Shockwave is now available in Balnarring. Call the practice now and speak to one of our physios to see if Shockwave suits your condition.

Cr Mason was particularly emphatic on the point that something definite must be done to procure an improved service and to keep the Company strictly to its agreement.

It was decided to hold a special meeting of the Council on Thursday, 18th inst., when definite action will be taken. *** TODAY and tonight—Bazaar at Langwarrin. The orchestra to be in attendance. *** TODAY’S football match, Frankston v.

Present: Cr Oates (chairman), and Messrs Mark Brody (correspondent), H. McComb, Johns, Nicholson, Ward and W. Crawford Young.

The head teacher (Mr Jennings) reported that the school bell was now placed in position, and would be brought into use at once.

Miss Murphy, of the teaching staff, had resigned, and her place taken by Miss Gale.

Owing to illness, Mr Jennings had been unable to plant out 200 olive trees on Arbor Day. It was resolved that the trees be planted along the foreshore on a suitable date, to be fixed by the teacher.

The clearing and levelling of portion of the school ground was left in the hands of Mr Brody.

It was decided to ask the Council to improve the footpath in front of

the school. Some ti-tree standing at a corner of a street near the school was referred to as a danger to children, inasmuch as it hid the approach of motor cars. Steps are to be taken to have the spot referred to made safe.

The committee decided to take action in irregular attendance cases, and the teacher was instructed to submit monthly reports in connection with same.

A letter of congratulation is to be sent to Beatrice Elizabeth Lewis one of the scholars, who has not missed a single day during the last 3 years.

From 28th August, 1916, 23rd August, 1919, she attended 1202 days.

The chairman and members welcomed Mr Jennings back after his severe illness, and expressed the hope that he would soon be restored to robust health again. *** HEARD in the Train.

That another new year is in sight and Frankston is still minus a brass band.

That general interest is beginning to concentrate in the matter of erecting a Soldiers’ Memorial at Frankston.

That the local branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association is now working effectively in this connection.

That the Frankston Rechabites are setting a good example by organising an entertainment in aid of the Memorial Fund.

That they have arranged with the Hon S. Manger to give his lantern slide lecture at Frankston on a date during next month. Mr Manger has only recently returned from America and the views connected with his trip

have been drawing crowded audiences in and around Melbourne.

That the semi-final football match will draw a record crowd to the Somerville ground today. A special train leaves Frankston at 2.15pm.

That the Frankston New Year’s Day Sports, 1920, will prove something out of the ordinary.

The new office bearers elected on Monday night intend putting a lot of “ginger” into the movement.

That Thursday’s Council meeting saw the introduction of four representatives who won municipal honors for the first time in last week’s election.

That there is work for the Peninsula Progress Associations to do immediately in the matter of securing an improved train service for the summer months. Recent alterations made by the Commissioners prolongs the journey between Frankston and Melbourne by from 4 to 8 minutes.

That Hastings is contemplating a big sports carnival for Boxing Day in aid of the Soldiers Memorial Fund.

It is proposed to run a special train from Mordialloc for the occasion.

average robustness.

That the retiring president Mr J B. Jolly is prepared to donate £5 to the fund of the Association conditionally on 9 others contributing a like amount – Also conditionally that he is not asked to retain the presidentship. *** THE now Shire President (Cr Turner) signalised his appointment by putting through the Council business in record time on Thursday. *** CAPT Maxwell was not well enough to resume his medical practice at Frankston this week as intended and it may be some weeks before he is sufficiently strong to take up active work again.

In the meantime Dr Owen is acting as his locum temens. *** MISS Hay, of Frankston House, returned to Frankston last week.

Her intended holiday was unfortunately spoiled by illness and she was an inmate of Dr McKeddies private hospital for several weeks.

Her many friends will be pleased to know that she is now enjoying much improved health. *** ONE of the scholars at the Frankston State School (Beatrice Lewis,) has not missed a single school day in 3 years.

Since 23rd August 1916 to 23rd August 1919 she attended 1202 days.

The school committee has sent her a congratulatory letter. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 September 1919

TIM FREEDMAN - WHITLAMS CLASSICS AND A FEW NEW SONGS gold albums in their repertoire.

Tim’s solo performances are a mixture of charming cynicism and delicate piano, and have become as popular as his four-piece band shows. The Whitlams’ success has always been about the emotional core of his songs, and when the rock adornments are removed and the band left at home, that core is laid bare in the intimate atmosphere of a piano bar. Tim’s show will draw songs from across his entire career including “No Aphrodisiac”, “Blow Up the Pokies”, “Buy Now and Pay Later” and “Thank You (for loving me at my worst)”.

The last few years have seen the band play their “Best of” with every state orchestra

around the country including seven nights with the Sydney Symphony at the Sydney Opera House. Their 1997 album, “Eternal Nightcap”, was recently voted No. 17 in the Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time on Triple J. In January 2019 The Whitlams were the house band on ABC’s ‘Australian of the Year’ telecast in which they mashed Baker Boys “Mr La Di Da Di” with their own hit “You Sound Like Louise Burdett”. More recently they completed a national tour playing their 1999 album “Love this City” which was given a four star review in the Sydney Morning Herald saying the album ”has held up as well as Freedman’s affecting tenor”.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Eastern Freeway is the Eighth Wonder of the World

By Stuart McCullough I’VE had enough. The groundswell of cynicism, the avalanche of snide remarks; it’s simply too much. That people react to joyous news with such unbridled skepticism and unquenchable scorn is a dark stain on humanity’s shriveled soul. Enough! I, for one, won’t stand for it. I renounce every snide remark and piece of poisonous commentary and declare that I am over-the-moon happy. Whereas others greet the news that part of the Eastern Freeway is being considered for heritage listing with a spray of invective, I say ‘about time’.

I mean, seriously, what took them so long? Who hasn’t been stuck in traffic waiting on the off-ramp to Punt Road and been overwhelmed by the wonder, the beauty and pure concrete grandeur that is the Eastern Freeway?

Frankly, a heritage listing doesn’t go far enough. I intend to continue campaigning until the most visually stunning piece of freeway known to humanity is declared the eighth wonder of the world. The Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Forest, Uluru and the Eastern Freeway; they should all be celebrated and protected.

It’s going to be great for tourism.

As news spreads, they’ll be turning up here by the planeload in the hope of getting a glimpse of the thing.

Ideally, busloads of tourists will use the Eastern Freeway to travel down and visit the Fairy Penguins, thereby experiencing two of our greatest attractions in one afternoon. The only thing I’m concerned about is that the emergency lane may not be sufficient for buses that wish to pull over so that eager visitors can take photos. It’d be

PAGE 32

Southern Peninsula News

a crime not to take loads of pictures.

The possibilities are endless. I see postcards, hats and key rings. Posters, commemorative plates and spoons as well as snow domes will crowd the shelves. I’m not quite sure how to approach soft toys, but I’m sure we’ll figure something out. Apparel that says ‘My Grandma visited the Eastern Freeway and all I got was this lousy t-shirt’ will be keenly sought-after.

There will be DVDs too, featuring slow motion images of the freeway (which is how it often feels when you’re stuck on it) with a voice over

by Sam Neill describing our most historically significant freeway.

4 September 2019

So much has happened in that stretch of freeway. There’s the spot near Bulleen Road where Bourke and Wills, along with their camels perished after getting stuck in peak hour. There’s the stretch where President Bill Clinton was forced to wait when returning from a top-secret trip to Tyabb to do a spot of presidential antiquing while Hillary was fishing for flathead on Frankston Pier. Then there’s the bit just before the Punt Road off-ramp where Albert Einstein got a flat tyre and developed the Theory of Relativity whilet trying to get the wheel nuts off. It’s a little known fact that the Treaty of Versailles was

not, as many believe, signed somewhere in France but in the back of a maxi-taxi on our very own Eastern Freeway. ‘Versailles’ was, in actual fact, the name of the driver. This is history that should be celebrated.

This is not the kind monumental paradigm-shifting event that can be commemorated with a mere plaque.

We need to make a proper fuss. Some type of ceremony with dancers, music and an appearance by the Little River Band could do the trick. Or perhaps a festival that lasts a week and is capped off with a public holiday. No festival in the history of the universe will ever have been so suited

to having food trucks. Marvel at the drainage. Bathe in the splendour of the transit lane. Ponder the meaning of life as you gaze upon the Chandler Highway overpass. There’ll be something for everyone. Bring the kids.

I get that there are some incurable cynics who prefer to scoff at the news that the Eastern Freeway will be heritage listed. I find that sad. What those professional naysayers fail to grasp is the sheer potential that has now been unleashed upon Melbourne.

Because if the Eastern Freeway is eligible for heritage listing then, truly, anything is possible. Think about that for a moment. If a congested stretch of concrete and bitumen can be safeguarded for reasons of cultural or aesthetic significance, then there’s no reason why any one of us might not be named Secretary General of the United Nations. Let your imagination run riot as you consider all that could be.

If the Eastern Freeway is heritage listed, then I look forward to Punt Road being nominated for the Gold Logie. Camberwell Junction deserves an Oscar. The big roundabout at the top of Elizabeth Street should absolutely be up for a Grammy. How it didn’t win ‘Best New Artist’ after they installed the traffic lights is a complete mystery. Personally, I’d like to see the roundabout on Coolart and Mornington-Tyabb Roads shortlisted for the Nobel Peace Prize. I am personally willing to travel to Oslo for that. Doubtless, I’ll need to travel on the Eastern Freeway to get myself to the airport. That seems fitting, somehow. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Bulls charge into Grand Final DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn ANOTHER huge performance from star forward Marc Holt has put Karingal in the Grand Final with a win over Langwarrin.

Somerville Recreation Reserve played host to the clash on Saturday.

It was a rematch of the qualifying final from two weeks ago, in which Langwarrin were able to get the win.

Karingal came rushing out of the gates with a four goals to zero first term, before the Kangaroos bounced back to close the lead to 12 by half time.

The Bulls stretched their lead back out to five goals by three-quarter time, and held on to claim the win 8.11 (59) to 14.7 (91).

Karingal have Marc Holt to thank for booking their Grand Final spot.

The full forward booted nine goals for the afternoon and proved to be the difference. Holt had come into finals with some form troubles, but has since come alive with 20 goals in his last two games.

Andrew McInnes and Lucas Vanraay also played big parts for the Bulls.

Karingal will face off against Red Hill in the Grand Final on Saturday.

The sides will play at 2.30pm at Skybus Stadium in Frankston. Red Hill will be looking for payback after falling short in last year’s big dance.

Reigning premiers crash out DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn PINES have gone crashing out of the MPNFL in straight sets after a shock 62 point loss to Bonbeach.

The reigning premiers came into finals in patchy form, and weren’t able to correct course.

Pines started well and went into the first break with the lead, but looked a completely different side after quarter time.

Bonbeach got the upper hand with a seven goals to one second term, and never let it slip from there.

The Sharks were able to keep the Pythons at an arm’s length in the third term, and finished the job with a stunning six goals to one final quarter.

Pines looked a shell of the side which lifted the trophy last season. They crashed out of finals with a 9.10 (64) to 18.18 (126) win.

Mitchell Gent was best on ground for the Sharks, kicking four goals. Trent DennisLane also put four goals on the board At RJ Rowley Reserve, Sorrento punched their Grand Final ticket with a win over Dromana.

Sorennto looked dominant from the start, and were comfortably ahead by over 50 points at half time.

After the main break Dromana showed more fight, but it was far too little far too late. Sorrento secured their spot in the premiership decider with a 16.12 (108) to 7.9 (51) win.

A seven goal haul from Leigh Poholke was instrumental for the Sharks, while Nick Corp also performed well with five majors.

Dromana will do battle with Bonbeach on Sunday, 8 September at Olympic Oval. The winner of the preliminary final clash will face Sorrento in the Grand Final.

First title for Somerville Eagles SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOMERVILLE Eagles are the toast of local soccer after clinching the State 5 South championship last Saturday.

And the side jointly led by coach Scott Morrison and player-coach Dave Greening did it in style with a gutsy away win against Bunyip District Strikers.

Somerville was forced to play most of the contest with 10 men after Matt Swanson reacted to a bad challenge by throwing the ball at his opponent and being sent off in the 22nd minute.

The champion elect had taken the lead in the 9th minute when a Luke Hodge flick-on was clinically finished by Greening.

But a goalkeeping error by Nathan Brown allowed Bunyip’s Gareth Davies to equalise in the 20th minute with a long-range effort.

A Ben Meiklem cross rebounded off the crossbar right on half-time and Greening reacted quickest to restore Somerville’s lead.

Daniel Vigilanti equalised straight after the restart but a superb Callum Richardson volley in the 62nd minute made it 3-2 and when Greening notched his hat-trick in the 70th minute Somerville supporters knew that the club’s first ever State League championship was in touching distance.

The final whistle was the cue for celebration among Somerville players, coaching staff, committee and fans and for veteran striker Mark Pagliarulo it was a special moment as it was his first trophy of any kind in 17 seasons.

Co-coach Dave Greening was full of praise for the players and for the off-field support he had received.

“Scott, Stan (Packer) and myself are so proud of all the boys,” Greening said.

“We had a two-year plan when we came here and we’ve been able to achieve our aims.

“The spirit here is incredible and I particularly want to thank Craig Bozelle, Luke Mulder and Zach Peddersen who do a remarkable amount of work for this club.”

In NPL2 news Langwarrin lost 2-1 away to Manningham United Blues on Saturday.

Langy was 1-0 down when defender Jaiden Madafferi was given a straight red in the 42nd minute.

Substitute Damir Stoilovic scored Langy’s consolation goal in the 93rd

Title triumph: Somerville Eagles celebrate winning the State 5 South championship last weekend.

minute.

Scottish striker John Baird is expected to head back to the UK next week to take up a short-term deal with Raith Rovers but hopes to return to Melbourne early next year.

In State 1 news Mornington lost 5-1 away to league leader Nunawading City last weekend.

Mornington is in transition as the club tries to integrate younger players into its matchday squad however the loss to Nunawading was the club’s 10th this season, the most defeats it has recorded in a single season for at least 15 years.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers lost 2-1 away to North Caulfield on Sunday despite going 1-0 up after five minutes thanks to Grant Lane.

Strikers will be aiming to finish in the top half of the table and play a major role in the promotion outcome when they host second-placed South Springvale this weekend.

In State 3 news Skye United is now just one win from promotion after defeating Frankston Pines 2-0 at Skye Recreation Reserve on Friday night.

A man-of-the-match performance from keeper Jonathan Crook kept Pines at bay.

The hosts hit the front in the 15th

minute when Jason Nowakowski broke through into a one-on-one and squared the ball for a simple tap in for striker Mitch Blake.

Five minutes later Blake turned provider as he lashed the ball across the face of goal and Nowakowski finished well to make it 2-0.

The second half was a different story as Pines gained the upper hand and put Skye under the pump.

Crook was immense and even saved from the penalty spot in the 82nd minute after Billy Painting was judged to have fouled inside the box.

The Kiwi keeper won the Chris Attard Medal while Kevin Brown was judged best afield for Pines.

Teenage Pines defender Christian Malgioglio was stretchered off shortly after Nowakowski’s goal and taken by ambulance to Frankston Hospital.

As we went to press he was due to have an MRI scan to ascertain the extent of the injury to his left knee.

In State 4 news Baxter won the derby clash with Seaford United 2-0 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday.

The scoreline could have been more convincing for the visitors had Lewis Gibson, Charlie Jones, Lawrence Komba and substitute Abdul

Darmanii converted clearcut chances.

At times Seaford looked fragile at the back while rarely troubling Baxter keeper James Foster.

The one time Foster was called into the thick of the action he responded in style.

Seaford player-coach Matt MorrisThomas had come off the bench in the 56th minute and in the 69th minute his clever curling free kick struck the base of the far post and bounced up where Kurt Wagner-Goldsworthy headed firmly from close range only for Foster to effect a superb reflex save by parrying wide for a corner.

Baxter led 2-0 at half-time and deservedly so.

Niko Juric’s free kick in the 11th minute was headed home by Baxter central defender Matt McDermott who had an excellent match.

Stuart McKenzie usually appears in centre midfield for Baxter but was used up front against Seaford and was a constant threat.

Baxter hit Seaford on the break after clearing a corner in the 35th minute and McKenzie broke through striking a low shot across Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi and in off the far post.

Seaford huffed and puffed in the

second half but to no effect.

Meanwhile Rosebud signed off on a successful first season in State 5 South with a thumping 6-1 home win over Hampton Park United.

First half doubles to Callum Norton and Blake Hicks had the home side in control at half-time and second-half goals from Beau Sharpe and Chris Parry completed the scoreline.

However, the day was soured by the abandonment of the reserves match when the referee was allegedly assaulted by a Hampton Park player who had been sent off.

Aspendale Stingrays claimed all three points in a nine-goal thriller at Power Reserve downing home side Endeavour Hills Fire 5-4 on Saturday.

The Stingrays twice came from behind in one of their best displays of the season.

After going 1-0 down in the 3rd minute they hit back to lead 3-2 at half-time thanks to a Kieran Hughes strike, a Nathan Barnett header and a penalty conversion from Kenan Nuhanovic whose initial attempt was parried only for him to tuck away the rebound.

The home side equalised early in the second half then took a 4-3 lead after 77 minutes when Eid Sarwari completed his hat-trick.

But the Stingrays hit back when Nuhanovic struck again following an Adrian Pace cross in the 82nd minute.

Just when a draw looked certain midfielder Rory Carmichael, who had been the Stingrays’ best player, settled the issue in the 90th minute from 10 metres out.

This week’s games for the final round of the season: SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Eastern Lions (Lawton Park), Mornington v Eltham Redbacks (Dallas Brooks Park), Peninsula Strikers v South Springvale (Centenary Park), Skye Utd v Monash Uni (Skye Recreation Reserve), Middle Park v Frankston Pines (Albert Park Field 16), Baxter v Springvale City (Baxter Park), Chelsea v Seaford Utd (Edithvale Recreation Reserve), Somerville v Casey Panthers (Tyabb Recreation Reserve), Rosebud v Pakenham Utd (Olympic Park), Aspendale v Knox Utd (Jack Grut Reserve).
