GIFT GUIDE 2016

Passion for Rebellion A passion for the drama of the Eureka Rebellion has been crafted into a novel by Hastings author Fran Henke, which she reckons would make great holiday reading.

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose, And if you ever saw it, You would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names; They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say, Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?

The retired journalist’s latest book Winds of Rebellion, is available at Petersen’s Bookstore (103 High St) Hastings; Farrell’s bookshop, Mornington; and Michael Leeworthy Gallery, Red Hill. “The story is told from the point of view of people in Geelong, who were on the side of the gold miners – as long as there was no trouble,�

Fran Henke said. “But there was of course trouble, driven by the Victorian Governor Hotham demanding outrageous licence fees to overcome the State’s debt. “The book is about ordinary people caught up in the extraordinary circumstances of 1854,� Fran explains.

Peterson’s has signed copies of the first novel in the trilogy The Other Side of the Wind. Both books are illustrated by Fran’s relief prints. “After the first, readers badgered me to know what happens next, so the sequel was born. Again they’re asking what happens next and I’m loving the characters in the story and the research so much that well, there has to be a third�, Fran said. “Maybe next year�.

Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, You’ll go down in history.

Winds of Rebellion is published by Flying Pony Press, rrp $25.

Flying Pony Press has also published ‘In Yer Face – the Bald Archy Prize’ by Fran Henke and Peter Batey, available via flyingponypress@gmail.com

Shire loses way with path charge

Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au

Powering to the top

SOMERS residents are celebrating their win against Mornington Peninsula Shire’s plan to make property owners pay for more than five kilometres of concrete paths through their town.

The landmark decision by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) may have far reaching effects for the shire and any plans it has to build new concrete paths on the peninsula.

There were tears of joy and relief from opponents of the plan when VCAT declared late Thursday that the shire’s special charge scheme was “invalid”.

Michelle Gregory saw the decision as a “resounding victory for democracy at the local level and proof that the little people have a voice if they put their minds and efforts into it”.

“Somers people have realised that they have to fight for the protection and preservation of our precious coastal village,” she said.

Infrastructure strategy manager Davey Smith said the shire “acknowledges the ruling

A lone cyclist tackles the road’s sweeping bends as paying customers in the Eagle cable car take 15 minutes to get to the top of Arthurs Seat.

The $16 million direct link to the 300 metre summit opened on Saturday and the blue gondolas now run 10am-8pm daily (except Christmas Day). Sue Sharples and her grandson Dusty, above, were able to take the easy and comfortable way to the top while the cyclist, right, worked somewhat harder before he could enjoy to the views of Port Phillip.

The Eagle runs along the same route as the former 1960s era chairlift which closed 10 years ago following a 2003 breakdown which left 18 people injured and stranded a further 50.

Development of the Eagle was not without controversy as objectors unsuccessfully railed against tree clearing, materials used for summit station, fire dangers and the colour of gondolas.

handed down by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Council will review the ruling before considering any further action on the matter”.

Cr David Gill said it was “pleasing to see local democracy is alive and kicking in Somers, where a community went up against town hall and made a difference”.

Cr Gill, elected to Red Hill ward in October, said that despite the win against the shire, he had “concerns about other aspects of our local democracy, especially about the role of councillors in being allowed to represent their community”.

Three groups of 325 residents began their David and Goliathstyle battle earlier this year after the shire notified 1245 property owners who received a “special benefit” from the path they must pay between $428 and $1712 to fund half the cost.

Lawyer, Somers resident and advocate for two of the three groups opposing the scheme, Chris Atmore, said she believed the win was a “first” in Victoria for residents fighting council-imposed special charge schemes.

CEO casts doubt on council cost comparisons Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO Carl Cowie is questioning the veracity of figures which show shire councillor expenses far exceed those at neighbouring councils.

A ratepayer at last Monday evening’s public council meeting asked Mr Cowie to explain why shire councillors’ expenses in the previous 2012-16 council term “are so high in comparison” to Kingston and Frankston (“Shire’s councillors are costly”, The News 14/11/16).

Eleven shire councillors claimed $616,712 in ratepayer-funded expenses over four years compared to $205,329 for Frankston’s nine councillors and $101,807 for Kingston’s nine councillors over the same period.

Mr Cowie said he doubted the expenses were a “like with like” comparison and “after a discussion with Matt Green, chief financial officer, it seems that these numbers do not have the same things included for comparison”.

“We will find out more information about what is included in the Frankston and Kingston numbers, but our councillor expenses are well explained in each annual report,” Mr Cowie said.

“So, unfortunately, this is probably not reported accurately in the media but we will get you a correct answer to this.”

Shire councillor spending on training, conferences and seminars far outstripped Frankston and Kingston

councillor expenses over four years, according to figures officially released by all three councils.

Shire councillors spent $121,154 on such expenses over four years; Frankston councillors spent $52,293; and Kingston councillors spent just $5135 on two training courses.

No-one at council had disputed any media reports about councillor expenses before Mr Cowie’s public comments last Monday (28 November).

The shire refused to disclose councillor expenses spending for the full 2012-16 council term until after October’s council elections (“Four-month delay on costs”, The News 21/11/16).

Both Frankston and Kingston councils listed councillor expenses in annual reports for the entire 201216 council term.

The shire listed expenses for just two of the four years in its annual reports after the state government forced all councils to publish councillor expenses from the 2014-15 financial year onwards.

The shire councillor expenses figures had been requested by The News for four months before council released the expenses information after the elections.

Shire chief financial officer Matt Green, who began work at council seven months ago, has refused to name courses, conferences and seminars attended by councillors over the past four years.

However, it seems the shire has enough staff and resources to analyse Frankston and Kingston councillor expenses.

Councillors will await a report in February before adopting a new councillor expenses policy.

Warriors’ support MONEY raised through Reclink Australia’s 2017 Great Peninsula Paddle on Australia Day (26 January) will be used to re-establish the Westernport Warriors Football Team.

Players from the Hastings and Somerville areas are invited to play next season with the team which was previously led by former police officer, Andrew Brady.

Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Reclink Australia CEO John Ballis, pictured, met in Hastings last week to show their support for the Warriors and to invite the team to re-join the annual Reclink Football fixture.

“Playing with the Warriors was the only means for hundreds of disadvantaged young people and their families in the Hastings and Somerville areas to connect to the wider community and break the cycle of loss of confidence, low self-esteem, unemployment, isolation and boredom,” Mr Burgess said.

Mr Ballis said the loss of the team was a “devastating blow to the local community”. Reclink Australia hope for business backing of $15,000 in the Warriors first year.

ARTISTS, writers and musicians are invited to apply to stay at a Mornington Peninsula Shire-owned cottage on land abutting Point Nepean National Park.

The residency program based at the former gatekeeper’s cottage at Police Point Shire Park provides an opportunity for artists to work in a different environment and explore new ideas.

Balnarring-based photographer Daryl Gordon, who finished his residency at Police Point late last month, describes his time there as “a great indulgence as a creative artist”.

“It's not often that you can take time out of a busy schedule and just be. By saying that, I mean having the chance to just think about your art, which in my case is fine art photography,” Gordon said.

“I entered the residency with no pre-conceived ideas and just let the creative essence come forward. It was a great time to be able to catch my breath, breathe and create.

“I loved to unwind in a comfy chair at night after a shoot and watch the lights blinking on the bay and the ships cruising past, which is much better than any TV.” Gordon said he spent time “exploring and photographing the many different aspects of Point Nepean and the Quarantine Station”.

“Photographing the Quarantine Station during the evening was quite an eerie experience - I definitely felt like I was the only living soul there.”

The cottage where the resident

artists stay was built for the boatmen working for the nearby quarantine station and in 1901 became accommodation for the station’s gatekeeper.

The station was opened in 1852 to prevent the spread of diseases from immigrants arriving by sea.

An extension provides studio space and the cottage has been renovated to meet heritage requirements. It has two bedrooms, a reading room, studio, kitchen and dining room, bathroom, vegetable boxes and back verandah with views of Port Phillip Bay. Police Point is a nationally significant cultural heritage site in the traditional lands of the Boon wurrung balug, one of at least six clans of the

Bunurong/Boonwurrung who were part of the Kulin Nation of Central Victoria.

Supported and fee-paying residencies at $300 a week are available, from two to six weeks. Artists must participate in public programs that contribute to the cultural life of the Mornington Peninsula.

To apply visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/ PolicePointArtistInResidence. Submissions close Tuesday 31 January.

Time called on a mechanical career Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IT was 1968 and the Premier of Victoria was Henry Bolte, John Gorton was Prime Minister, Lionel Rose was world bantamweight champion, The Seekers were Australians of the Year and Rain Lover won the Melbourne Cup. On the roads, Victorian-built Holdens and Fords were the vehicles of choice.

And David Bristow began his fledging career at Balnarring Motors.

Last week, after 48 years and two months, Mr Bristow said goodbye to the business which has been a big part of his life and also that of his son, also David.

A mechanical engineer, Mr Bristow, 74, started working at the FrankstonFlinders Rd business soon after his father bought grazing property Chatsworth Park further up the road.

The garage’s mechanic had been killed in a car accident and his brother, the then-proprietor, had only one functional arm and was unable to run the business properly.

Mr Bristow, then 25, said he was asked if he “could lend him a hand” and joined the business in what is now the Paton’s Real Estate building for three years before taking over and having the garage built next door. It cost $12,000.

“That was before there was anything else in the village except a country store and the fire brigade in the old Nissan hut over the road,” he recalled.

End of an era: David Bristow, and son, also David, left, have sold the Balnarring garage, above, which dates back to when Holdens and Fords ruled Australia’s roads. Picture: Gary Sissons

“We used to sell three brands of petrol: Shell, Golden Fleece and BP, and now they sell Caltex.

“I also had a showroom to sell Toyota cars for the Nicholson Motors dealership in Mornington, maybe selling one a fortnight on a commission basis.”

Mr Bristow, a councillor at the former Shire of Hastings for six years, had more strings to his bow than just cars. As a young man he used his mechanical prowess to design artificial

limbs at a South Melbourne factory, as well as making gas-powered arms for amputees.

In a change of tack, he then used those skills to make innovative and ground-breaking camera equipment for award-winning films and TV commercials, working with pioneer cameraman Mike Browning.

“I made all the special effects rigs, such as cameras under helicopters and on cars,” he said.

A special memory is making special

equipment to film the award-winning Australian government pavilion at the 1988 Brisbane Commonwealth Games.

Another is making an advertisement for Beaurepaire Tyres – “Trust Your Reflexes” – at the Balnarring garage.

“I have a saying: ‘I design something and I make it’. I have a draw full of patents that, unfortunately, aren’t worth the paper they are written on.”

Son David – who has a computer background – joined the Balnarring business 18 years ago, helping his

father cope with the new generation of computer-equipped vehicles. Sadly, at around the same time Mr Bristow’s wife, Dorothy, died of cancer.

Now retired, Mr Bristow will devote more time to his Coolart Rd property as well as land at Yarram where he runs cattle. “I’ll also look after my health and spend more time fishing.”

One major retirement project is to document and categorise the “millions of pictures” he has taken over the years – especially of his TV days.

Work has started on a new roundabout at the intersection of Jetty Road and Old Cape Schanck Road. The work is being funded through the federal government’s National Black Spot Program as a result of a significant crash history in the area. The new roundabout is expected to be completed this month.

Entryway to The Briars Detailed plans are being finalised for future traffic improvements to The Briars’ Nepean Highway access road in Mount Martha.

Entryway works will include asphalt kerb, signage, planting, and splitter traffic island construction.

Internally, the narrow access road will be widened to accommodate two-way traffic with the addition of an upgraded road seal and drainage improvement works.

Construction is scheduled for early 2017.

Melbourne Rd speed limit A decision is pending following the community consultation period to reduce the speed limit through Blairgowrie. We proposed a 70km/h speed limit along the length of Melbourne Road to improve the consistency in speed limits between Iolanda Street, Rye and Waverly Street, Sorrento. The outcome is with VicRoads and we expect a decision by 12 December.

Shire loses path fight Continued from Page 1 “This will be talked about for a long time, it’s a great example of a small community showing that what they want is important,” Dr Atmore said.

“We, the community, have shown that we love Somers just the way it is, and we don’t want concrete paths that don’t belong here.”

At the October hearing, Dr Atmore told the tribunal the footpaths as planned by the shire “will destroy vegetation, compromise habitat for wildlife including koalas, and will detract from the character and amenity of Somers”.

However, the tribunal’s decision was based on the shire’s failure to provide adequate details of the proposal in a public notice.

The issue had effectively divided the Somers township, with some residents wanting the council to build 5.5 kilometres of concrete paths to improve access around the town; others insisted that the concrete paths were not in keeping with the coastal environment.

The fight grew increasingly bitter throughout the year, with opponents accusing the shire of a lack of transparency, claims that residents were not surveyed properly and suspicion that the council had shown favouritism to a residents’ group which supported the scheme, and at one stage even referenced the group’s survey in its justification for the scheme.

The high legal cost of taking the protest to VCAT was a major stumbling block for opponents, who were almost forced to abandon their fight when the estimated fees for the four-day hearing more than doubled and an application for a fee waiver was denied.

Dr Atmore said she was “extremely grateful” for the donations from people around Victoria that enabled all three groups to raise the $3135.60 each to proceed.

Another resident, Pam Bannister, said the win felt like The Castle, in reference to a movie about ordinary people winning against bureaucracy.

“The community is absolutely rapt,” she said.

Resident and retired estate agent Andrew Satchwell said the decision was not only a win for Somers residents, but the wider community of other coastal villages.

“It has been a prolonged battle with many hurdles to jump,” he said.

“It’s great to see that little people can stand up for themselves and not be afraid to take the fight up if they believe in the cause.”

Dr Atmore said the tribunal’s ruling had important implications for other infrastructure proposals being considered by the shire, forcing more effective community consultation and a change in the way it operated its special charge schemes.

Police Point Artist in Residence Expression of Interest Emerging and established artists, writers, musicians and creatives are encouraged to apply for a 2017 residency at the historic Gatekeeper’s Cottage, Police Point Shire Park, Portsea, on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.

Woman critical after being being swept into sea at Cape Schanck A WOMAN washed off the rocks at Cape Schanck late Saturday night was rescued by members of her family with the help of SES, police, ambulance and Fisheries officers.

The 35-year-old, of Hampton Park, was crab fishing when a big wave, exacerbated by the low tide, surged into the group, dragging her under in rough water, at about 10pm.

The woman was pulled from the water by members of her family who called Triple 0 and began performing CPR. “She swallowed a fair bit of water,” Senior Sergeant Phillip Hulley, of

Frankston police, said Monday.

Intermittent phone coverage made pinpointing the exact location for rescue crews difficult, but Rosebud police managed to direct the air ambulance which winched down a paramedic.

The woman was taken up the beach to a waiting ambulance which met the air ambulance at The National Golf Club for the trip to The Alfred hospital.

On Monday afternoon her condition was reported as “critical”.

BEACHGOERS are reminded to keep their distance from seals resting on beaches in Western Port and Port Phillip bays beaches.

Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning manager program manager Suraya VI said some seals may appear sick or emaciated, but should not be approached under any circumstances.

“While we understand that seeing a seal in poor condition may be upsetting, approaching the seal or trying to move it will cause an already stressed animal further distress,” she said.

“If people sighted seals or seal pups lying on the beach, leave them in peace and enjoy their

presence from afar.

“We are really lucky to see marine mammals such as seals and dolphins so close up in their natural environment, but they are wild animals, and it’s up to us to give them the space they need.”

It is illegal to approach within 30 metres of a seal on land, and dogs are not permitted within 50 metres of a seal on land. At boat ramps or other man-made structures such as piers, people must stay at least five metres away from seals.

Anyone who finds an unwell seal should call the AGL marine response unit on 1300 245 678 or DELWP on 136 186.

Educate to protect the environment Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au IF there was just one thing that Greg Hunt the retiring executive officer of the South East Council Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA), could proclaim as the best way to protect the environment for future generations, it is “education”.

The former science teacher with a passion for the natural world has spent his 43-year career advocating for change in the way individuals and organisations manage resources. Education has always been a huge part of that process, whether it’s investigating options for energy conservation, or promoting broader thinking on energy use.

Hunt has a varied employment background, but the environment has always been his mainstay. He spent his first 14 working years with the education department teaching young people about the world around them, before moving on to various environmental organisations where he was able to draw on his education and advocacy background to implement change.

While he has spent the past 10 years at SECCCA working closely with local governments to try to reduce the impacts of a changing climate and dwindling resources, he is quick to point out that it’s certainly not a problem specific to government. To sum up Hunt’s mantra on the environment – it’s “everybody’s problem”.

In fact it is one of his proudest achievements so far that he and his SECCCA colleagues have been able to drive the point that climate change is everybody’s problem – not just that of governments to “react”, but up to every individual and every organisation to rethink how they use resources and how they can do it better.

Although he will continue to advocate for the environment as a consultant and public speaker after leaving SECCCA, it is the ground-breaking projects he oversaw while at the alliance that

Miss opportunity APPLICATIONS are open for Miss Western Port 2017, which is run by Western Port Festivals and billed as an opportunity for young women to “ascertain skills which build self-confidence, public speaking and other important life skills”.

The pageant aims to create opportunities for Western Port girls 16 to 25 who make a positive impact in the community by creating awareness about relevant issues, community groups and events.

Entrants are judged on their community service involvement, ability to connect with people from all walks of life, poise and presence, interviewing skills and confidence.

Applications close early January.

will be his legacy.

These include the Eco Driver program, a much lauded, nationally-recognised program to help drivers use their vehicles more efficiently; the Energy Saver Study, which involved reducing the energy use of households while increasing the “comfort and health” of residents; the Save it for the Game program, which helped sports clubs and organisations recognise and make changes to energy consumption; and the ‘Financial risk and Adaptation program, which was geared towards energy-saving measures for councils.

While he loved the job at SECCCA, Hunt says it’s time to move on, as he’s not “getting any younger”. He feels happy with what he has been able to oversee at SECCCA, but would like governments, particularly federal, to step up and provide “leadership” with ongoing investment and policy consistency.

While he had a great working relationship with the former environment minister with who he shares the name Greg Hunt, he would love to be able encourage politicians to “swim against the tide” and not let politics intrude on what they should be doing.

“There is no substitute for change.”

As for retirement, Hunt is heavily involved in consultancy work, public speaking and strategic planning, and in his spare time travels the state to pursue his love of birds, both as a watcher and a researcher.

“To see a male splendid wren in full breeding plumage is a sight to behold. We are so lucky, but that might not be available to future generations.”

ECCCA is an incorporated body and a network of nine councils with a mission to investigate and deliver projects and research programs at a regional level.

Fewer cats will be killed if owners obey the law Protesters gathering to draw attention to the high kill rates of impounded cats bring to mind what I regard to be a far more urgent and critical problem (“Protesters call to end cat kill� The News 29/11/16).

A high proportion of cat owners are blatantly ignoring Mornington Peninsula Shire’s cat curfew. Cats may be seen roaming the streets at any time of day and night. Given the number of cats on the streets, it is apparent that the shire has no real interest in enforcing the curfew.

It is also apparent that many cat owners, if not a majority, have little or no concern for the damage their pets are causing to wildlife.

Repeated requests by me for neighbours to confine their cats in accordance with shire regulations have been ignored and, on several occasions, I have had to endure the sight of adult birds in my bird-attracting garden desperately swooping cats with baby birds in their jaws.

It is common knowledge that cats are natural born killers and cause massive damage to populations of native animals.

The fact that many cats are not reclaimed by their owners when impounded further highlights not only the neglect of some cat owners, but that the unchecked population of cats is also a major issue. I for one would prefer to see the humane euthanasia of these impounded felines than for them to be released to owners who allow them to roam at will.

If owners were to face the choice of either confining their cats properly in accordance with the law, or losing them to euthanasia if impounded, several problems would be simultaneously be resolved as the number of cats at large was massively reduced, the number impounded minimised, and local wildlife given some reprieve.

John Adamson, Rye

Unnecessary council Why did we need to elect a new council? It does not seem to matter what individual councillors may want to communicate to officers of our shire on behalf of constituents. The final arbiter of any request will be an unaccountable shadowy figure in the bowls of our council chambers, the governance manager (“New policy a surprise for councillors� The News 29/11/16).

Unaccountable that is to the ratepayers of this shire’s constituents. I fear for our right as citizens to have any influence over our rulers in the “castle�, just to use a quite appropriate Kafkaesque term.

An example of this is the approval of a development plan for a parcel of land in Balnarring, next to the present doctor’s surgery which has been vehemently opposed by locals for its footprint and intrusion on neighbours. I would have thought it should have been decided with the assistance of our new council, but it seems to have been done just when the new councillors had not been sworn in yet. It obviously “needed� to be decided while the wheels of a fully working council where not in place.

A sign being carried by one of the protesters on Sunday 30 November outside Mornington Peninsula Shire’s “community animal shelter� in Watt Rd, Mornington.

The protesters said they were demonstrating against the number of cats which were put down after being held at the shelter. The shire says 26 cats were put down between June and August this year but was unable to say how many cats were impounded.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Costly councillors I must confess to considerable anger when I hear of councillors spending too much in their limited roles as councillors, unless they are actively helping the community for more than a pathetic five hours a week as happens in far too many councils across the state.

And I should know because I was a councillor in another area and I put in an average 30 hours a week for the same “pay� as those who put in less than one fifth of the same.

And I have seen at first-hand how some councillors can waste money.

So to cut to the chase, how about council change its rules? Every month or, at the very worst, every three, a list is published for all to see of how much councillors are spending and on what. Transparency in practice. Hiding nothing.

Any councillor who refuses is sent straight to IBAC (Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Committee) for a full and formal investigation.

Anything less is unacceptable for ratepayers.

Ange Kenos, Tootgarook

Decision maker Just as the Great Genghis Khan didn’t need advice from lesser mortals, so too it appears our shire’s great leader, CEO Carl Cowie. He has made it clear in his “Councillor and staff interaction policy� that he is the “... only officer appointed by councillors ... (who) will decide whether a request (for information) by elected representatives (and presumably by electors) will be granted or denied�, (“New policy a surprise for councillors� The News 29/11/16).

I see this policy as suppressing the concept of democratic representative government, and tantamount to the head of the Commonwealth public service telling the federal parliament that he was the final arbiter of what information federal politicians could disclose.

Geoffrey Gordon, Mt Eliza

Councillors ‘nobbled’ Unable to understand the full implications of the machinations within the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, I at least understand that the council bureaucrats have effectively nobbled our elected representatives, the councillors (“New policy a surprise for councillors� The News 29/11/16).

I have to wonder if this move is to prevent any further milking of the council cow by some councillors, such as trips to Copenhagen and Paris, paid personal education courses and abnormally large expenses.

Perhaps it might put a damper on the pet fantasies of some councillors, like expensive carbon emission reductions, solar lighting and even tourism promotion. (Wonderful tourists,

causing pollution, road accidents, chaos, loss of our amenities, and carbon emissions.)

Next, it would be really good to see the bureaucracy itself contract in size instead of forever empire building, expanding into unwanted and unnecessary services, causing ever increasing rates. Perhaps rates could then contract downwards. (Only joking).

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Pool needed Leaving aside the responsibility of all parents to teach their darlings to swim and learn the times tables by the time they have completed sixth grade, I have a question for Premier Daniel Andrews. We have schools down here in Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento teeming with children to that sixth grade, and one skinny mini pool in the Rosebud industrial area. What plans are in place for our excellent teachers to carry out his wishes?

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Not rascists I refer to Patricia Rayner’s letter (“White Australia� Letters 22/11/16) in which she accuses the immigration minister, and other Australians who do not support her ideas of how the immigration process should work, as being terrible people.

She states that all the people who arrived by boats and are being held in offshore detention centres should be released immediately, brought to Australia and be placed in our communities.

In her words, to do otherwise, is to be “brutal and devoid of compassion�.

She further states that these people are being held hostage; that we are practicing the White Australia Policy; that illegal arrivals are not a burden on Australia’s economy; that politicians are not listening to what people are saying; and that racist elements in our society are being pandered to.

I am highly offended by Ms Rayner’s accusatory rant, as I’m sure many others are.

Considering that Australia is one of only 27 countries in the world that takes refugees via the United Nation’s humanitarian program and consistently ranks in the top three resettlement countries in the world. This blows Ms Rayner’s statement that we are somehow white supremacists or “racists� completely out of the water.

No one is being held hostage. The people in the detention centres can return to their home

land. Many come from countries where there is no war or danger to them.

We haven’t practiced the White Australia Policy in decades and that would be easy for Ms Rayner to verify simply by taking a walk through any part of our city and seeing the diversity of our population.

Illegal arrivals cost billions a year in resettlement, housing, education, health, security and welfare costs.

I would encourage Ms Rayner to do some research before she makes such generalised, emotional, sweeping and highly insulting statements.

Christine Fry, Blairgowrie Editor: According to the Refugee Council of Australia “Asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat are neither engaging in illegal activity, nor are they immigrants. The UN Refugee Convention (to which Australia is a signatory) recognises that refugees have a lawful right to enter a country for the purposes of seeking asylum, regardless of how they arrive or whether they hold valid travel or identity documents.�

Argentina’s dog race ban Argentina has joined most other countries in banning greyhound racing. In July, NSW Premier Mike Baird banned racing in that state, saying that it is legal in only eight countries around the world. Now there is one less.

The unfortunate back-flip by the NSW government notwithstanding, this vile industry is destined for history’s dustbin.

Greyhounds used for gambling spend most of their miserable lives muzzled in cramped cages, except when they are taken out to race. These gentle, friendly dogs rarely hear a kind word or feel a loving touch. Many dogs die from illness and injuries, including broken legs, heatstroke and heart attacks. Those who survive usually only last a couple of years before they slow down and are discarded like rubbish. Thousands are euthanised simply because they don’t win enough races.

Informed, caring people aren’t interested in watching dogs race to their deaths, treated like they’re mere racing machines. Attendance is plummeting, tracks are closing, and it’s time for Australia to join the rest of the world and ban this cruel industry for good.

Paraplegic takes the lead in kitesurfing TWO Saturdays ago Jim Kolokithas, pictured, turned his wheelchair along a strip of plastic matting down to the water’s edge at Mt Martha beach.

“It was amazing; a good feeling,” he said. “I got a bit emotional just sitting there.”

The emotion was not just for himself, but for the other disabled people who will now be able to enjoy the simple pleasure of crossing a beach to the water.

With the new matting being regularly rolled out in front of Mt Martha Lifesaving Club the soft sand will no longer be an insurmountable obstacle for narrow-tyred wheelchairs.

Although Jim Kolokithas mostly gets around in a wheelchair, he is no stranger to swapping land transport to being on the water.

He water skis, sails a modified kitesurfer (it has a seat) and can manage to crawl across the sand if he wants a swim.

But it’s the benefits of the matting for the less able that made the matting so special.

“I’m in Melbourne now [he says by phone on Friday] and there’s not really any place I can’t venture off to by myself because of improvements with ramps and getting rid of steps.

Water – the beach - is the next place to make accessible for all.”

Mr Kolokithas is one of about eight disabled kitesurfers in the world.

He is at the forefront of designing the modifications necessary – a seat and quick release mechanism - to make the sport disabled-friendly and hopes more people will take it up “now that sailing is no longer in the

Paralympics”.

“Kitesurfing is the only sport I can see these guys transitioning to,” he said.

Mr Kolokithas said he took up kitesurfing after his accident “because it was the only sport I’d really wanted to do but never had time for [because of business]”.

Apart from refining changes to the actual board in conjunction with colleagues in Europe, Mr Kolokithas is now working on a trolley to transport the rig into the water. “Launching and retrieving is the most difficult part of kitesurfing.”

Before coming off his bike he went scuba diving and was a water skier

and snow skier and had ridden motorbikes since he was seven.

The accident that nearly killed him happened when he fell off a dirt bike in sand dunes near Robe, in South Australia.

“It [the ride] just went pear shaped, there was other vehicle involved,” he said.

“I couldn’t breath and was fighting for my life; paralysis was the last thing on my mind. I had a collapsed right lung and five broken ribs.”

While being transported to hospital the main thing he wanted was to get home to his three sons and wife, who was pregnant with their fourth child (another boy).

Mr Kolokithas says his paralysis “is T10 on the ASIA scale, the worst you can be at that level”.

The accident also led to the loss of his fruit and vegetable home delivery business which employed 18 people.

“But I think now that I am somehow fortunate, although everyone has their own perspective. I have a lot of family time and life couldn’t be better.”

He also sees “this time in history” as “a bit of a blessing because before now disabled couldn’t access anything”.

“Quite a few councils are being proactive and providing access to water, the last frontier.”

Closed doors spur advocate for change Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au THIRTY years ago, when Graeme Innes finished university with a law degree and aspirations of a career where he could make a difference, he found a very different reality. Doors closed, employers baulked at employing someone who couldn’t see, and the future seemed bleak for a young man with a growing passion for human rights advocacy and workplace equality.

Mr Innes eventually found work as a clerical assistant answering phones in a law firm, but the lessons learned from those early experiences fuelled his passion for advocating for the invisible and voiceless.

He went on to become a successful lawyer, company director and Order of Australia recipi-

ent and, as Australia’s Disability Discrimination Commissioner from 2005-2014, had a hand in reforming federal discrimination laws that have paved the way for equality in the workplace.

He lists one of his proudest achievements as being part of the team behind the Disability Discrimination Act, which has provided an essential tool for disabled people to access employment and fight for their rights.

Another is the “same sex, same entitlements” report that sets out that everyone is entitled to “equal and effective protection against discrimination on any ground”.

He says that while attitudes towards “difference” are changing very slowly, without governments taking the lead a level playing field in the workplace is still far from achievable.

“Employers are savvy (but) they tend to follow the example set by the government.”

Mr Innes said the federal government’s “shameful” record of employing people with a disability – only three per cent - is one of the first things that needs to change.

He believes the combative relationship between the human rights office and the Turnbull Government is “damaging” to the democratic process; one that could further undermine the effectiveness and progress of the commission’s work.

Mr Innes described the treatment of Australian Human Rights Commission president Gillian Triggs as “pretty terrible” and said it was undemocratic to personally criticise people for “doing their job”.

“The Attorney General and the federal government have worked on the premise that if they don’t like the advice, they shoot the messenger.”

He said governments should be more interested in listening to independent advice and provid-

ing incentives to employers that are not limited to people on disability support pensions.

“One scheme we could have is where every MP would get an extra staff member if they employ a person with a disability. We know what it can do and it wouldn’t be expensive,” he said.

“But there is still a lot of work to be done to change attitudes and thinking around employing people with disabilities.

“I know of many small businesses who haven’t used the government’s incentive schemes to employ people with disabilities because of the bureaucracy – the process has to be simpler and there needs to be incentives to big business as well.”

Mr Innes will speak on human rights and discrimination at a Human Rights Oration at Mornington Secondary College, Friday 9 December.

Welcome mat to the water’s edge AFTER five years of negotiations and planning, beach matting has finally arrived to provide safe access for wheelchairs at Mt Martha beach.

Unrolled to public for the first time two Saturdays ago (27 November), the matting was quickly given trial runs, and the thumbs up.

Several wheelchairs and one man using two crutches took to the matting after a ribbon cutting ceremony involving Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor, Cr Bev Colomb, the shire’s MetroAccess officer Virginia Richardson, Mt Martha Life Saving Club president David Mowat and Karen Frankhauser.

The first roll of matting was given a kick by Mark Hopper before it was pinned to the sand by lifesavers.

Making the water’s edge accessible to wheelchairs has been a long-held aim of the Disabled Surfers’ Association Mornington Peninsula branch, which wants a similar system operating at other peninsula beaches.

The DSAMP has six wide-wheeled wheelchairs which it hopes to make available to the public when not needed for scheduled surfing events at Point Leo. The 50 metres of plastic matting now being kept and regularly rolled out by Mt Martha lifesavers was bought by the shire.

Ms Richardson said the success of the matting and its popularity would be evaluated in May and, if appropriate, made available at other peninsula lifesaving clubs.

Cr Colomb said the “pilot project … will now be rolled out every weekend until 30 April”.

New lodgings: Koals from French Island are settling into a forest in central Victoria as part of a trial to see if translocation is part of the answer to saving the island from being overpopulated by the leaf eaters.

Tree changers move away from island home Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MOVING house is seen by psychologists as being one of the most stressful of undertakings and the same probably applies to koalas.

Monitoring stress in people is not too hard – just listen. But when it comes to koalas a more scientific is necessary.

Thirty koalas relocated from French Island to a forest near Tallarook in central Victoria have been fitted with a radio collar so their movements and wellbeing can be closely monitored.

Scientists decided it was best to make the move after the ever-increasing numbers of koalas started to eat their way through their island home.

While appearing slow moving and sleepy, the koalas have steadily overbrowsed eucalypts on French Island to

the point where starvation has become a probability.

Koalas were introduced to the island and, as well as being disease-free compared to colonies on the mainland, have increased in numbers to the extent that they are having a detriment effect on the island’s environment.

If the 30 koalas now resident at Tallarook make a healthy transition they could be followed next year by “a much larger scale translocation”.

“The release of Koalas at the new site went smoothly and early signs are positive,” principal scientist at the Arthur Rylah Institute Peter Menkhorst, said. The translocation trial is being carried out by the institute and Parks Victoria.

Mr Menkhorst said the Tallarook forest contained several eucalypt species known to be eaten by koalas and had a low resident population of koalas.

“Upon release, all of the koalas moved freely into the new area and most began eating leaves immediately,” he said. “We carried out a check of the koalas several days post-release, and while we weren’t able to sight the koalas, the signals received from their radio-monitoring collars show all are alive.

“The radio frequencies also showed that some of the koalas have moved away from their release site, a positive sign in that they are actively exploring their new home.

“We will continue to monitor their survival over the next two months, and carry out health and weight checks at the end of that period.”

The trial translocation follows a fertility control and health check program, carried out on more than 400 French Island koalas, to help stabilise the population.

Frances Bruce - Hastings’ latest centenarian

By Peter McCullough FRANCES Josephine Wattis was born in Ballarat on 30 November, 1916 to Charles and Patricia. Those were the days prior to the SEC and each town generated its own electricity. Charles Wattis was an electrician employed by the company which supplied power to Ballarat.

Frances had one sister, Dorothy, and they attended Loreto College. On leaving school at 16 Frances worked in a chemist shop.

At a dance in Ballarat, Frances met Thomas Robert Bruce who was employed by a local company as a graphic artist. Much of their work was advertising for theatres. Frances also had an interest in art, and a romance blossomed.

Tom, who had been in the CMF, joined up soon after the outbreak of war. He was initially stationed in Darwin but later served on Bougainville where he was promoted to Lieutenant.

In 1943 he returned to Ballarat on leave and he and Frances were married.Frances and his sister then carried on the business in Tom’s absence.

A few years after his discharge Tom sold the business in Ballarat and he

and Frances moved to Melbourne, living in North Caulfield. Tom obtained employment with the PMG as an artist and he also did graphics for Moomba procession advertising. Frances worked in retail with the Myer city store for about 15 years, and then transferred to Chadstone when she and Tom moved to that suburb.

Tom retired in 1977 and he and Frances spent six months in London, being there for the Queen’s Silver jubilee.

In 1988 the couple moved to Hastings and took up residence next door to Vic. and Margaret Jeremiah in Gaskin Avenue. Having no family of their own they soon “adopted” the Jeremiah children and became part of that family. Tom died in 1997 but Frances still has a tight bond with her neighbours which now includes great grandchildren and a great great grandchild. For many years Frances and Margaret Jeremiah went on the annual trip with the Senior Citizens and this is a memory she cherishes. Painting was always a hobby, and her home has some of her water colours on display.

Frances has been the next-door neighbour of the Jeremiah family for

the past 30 years. The fact that she was an Essendon supporter dating back to the Coleman era ensured that Frances was off to a good start! In more recent times she was delighted when the Coleman statue was erected in Hastings.

Vic and Margaret Jeremiah have found Frances to be a most generous and gracious lady who at all times has displayed a wonderful zest for life.

She has willingly donated her time to the overall welfare and well being of others.

In the week prior to her birthday Frances received congratulatory messages from the local MP’s Greg Hunt and Neale Burgess, the Premier, Governor-General, State Governor of Victoria, Prime Minister and the Queen.

While some of her nieces have marked the occasion by taking Frances to lunch at The Briars, the main celebration was a lunch held on Sunday 27 November at the Lynbrook Hotel where four generations of her adopted family (the Jeremiahs) honoured this much admired and dearly loved neighbour.

Wedding day: Frances was married to Tom Bruce in 1943.

99 years apart: Frances Bruce (100) with “adopted” great, great granddaughter Logan Hull (one year old).

Letter from Her Majesty: Frances received a letter from the Queen to mark the milestone.

Peninsula’s ‘style’ for pampered pets THE Mornington Peninsula has long been marketed to those seeking a pampering, resort-style holiday experience, and now it seems many want the same for their pets.

It’s no secret that the pet industry is a lucrative industry estimated to be worth about $8 billion annually, with many owners today taking a “no expenses spared” approach when it comes to the social and emotional wellbeing of their animals.

Cory Andrews, who runs kennels in Baxter and whose family has been involved in the pet industry on the peninsula for 43 years, said the trend for luxury cat and dog boarding, doggy day care and other pampering services for pets is following the American lead, and is a reflection of the increasingly important role pets today play as “family members”.

Ms Andrews, who took over a basic dog boarding facility with her husband Paul ten years ago and transformed it into the luxury-style Dog Country Club and Kennel Resort, has just won the ‘Excellence’ category in the national Pet Industry Association of Australia awards.

“Many people see their pets as very important family members and the pet industry has to respond to that,” she said.

The owners make no bones about the level of luxury pets experience at the resort, with more than ten different styles of accommodation for fussy dogs and their owners to choose from, a selection of menus, chandeliers, TVs, air-conditioners and specialised furniture made for comfort and style.

While about 55 per cent of the resort’s clients come from the Morning-

Budget ideas IDEAS from the public to be added to Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 2017/18 budget close 5pm, Thursday 8 December.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the budget was developed to ensure its programs, projects and initiatives reflected community needs.

“The community submissions phase is one step in the budget preparation process, and the community is encouraged to contribute ideas towards the final budget that will ultimately deliver council’s range of community services.”

ton Peninsula, others come from all over Victoria to spoil their pets and ensure their emotional, physical and social needs are met while away from home.

“Whether it’s overnight or day care, it’s really important to owners that their pet is treated like they would be at home and individual needs in terms

of diet, sleeping styles, exercise and psychological needs are taken into account,” she said.

After being involved in the pet industry through my family all my life, it’s interesting to see how things have changed and how pet owners are expecting more,” she said.

Mrs Andrews’s mother runs Australia’s largest cat resort nearby and is facing a similar rise in both demand and expectations.

“There are 200 rooms and if a cat doesn’t like the one they get, they can inspect the others and choose one that suits,” Mrs Andrews said.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is offering environmental upgrade agreements (EUAs) to businesses owning or leasing commercial, nonresidential buildings on the peninsula.

The shire was one of the first local governments in Victoria to use the new legislation to assist businesses to finance environmental initiatives.

Through trials with City of Melbourne, EUAs have proven to reduce operating costs, increase profit margins and increase the resale of businesses.

EUAs are a low-interest option for businesses to access finance for environmental upgrades to existing buildings.

Under the scheme, a lender provides finance to a building owner who pays council rates, which the council then passes on the lender. This gives lenders more security, allowing them to offer loans at competitive interest rates and terms. Details: mornpen.vic. gov.au/enviro-upgrades

Cricket charity helps kids wield willow worldwide Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A BLAIRGOWRIE cricket player has given a lot back to the game he loves. But now Luke Serong is preparing to bid farewell to his charity Cricket4Kids, which has donated tonnes of second-hand cricket equipment to needy children all over the world.

After living in London as a flight manager with Qantas, Mr Serong, 38, flew home via Sri Lanka almost a decade ago with wife Bree. Visiting a school which had been devastated by a tsunami, they noticed hordes of children playing cricket in hand-me-down gear of poor quality.

“We cooked up the idea for the charity there,” he said, and set about getting things moving.

A call to his playing mates at Old Wimbledonians resulted in the arrival of 50-60kg of second-hand gear – much to the delight of the locals.

Now, almost a decade on, the charity has donated 9.5 tonnes of old gear to children in 18 countries, including the Cook Islands, East Timor, India, Indonesia, Fiji, Kenya, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Rwanda, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga and Vanuatu.

Gear also goes to Indigenous children in regional and Outback areas.

“We received no funding for the first six and a half years, but then the International Cricket Council got behind us and offered $5000 for five years and that got us going,” he said.

Unfortunately, it was harder to win support from Cricket Australia, but hopefully, more support is in the offing.

Recipients of the gear in far-flung countries are encouraged to “take ownership” of the donations.

Cricket4Kids arranges to collect it but the actual shipping out is handled by agents of the countries involved.

“We spend our time collecting the gear and they arrange to ship it,” Mr Serong said.

A teacher and unabashed cricket lover, Mr Serong grew up in Dromana and played cricket for Rosebud, and then Brunswick.

A highlight of his “career” was attending the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in 2012 and donating 900kg of cricket gear to teams from Nepal and Bangladesh. There he met an Indian man who has since begun a version of the charity in the SubContinent, ensuring the concept lives on.

Showing the valuable impact the donated gear can have on a community is a good way of attracting support, he said. “In one case, a woman donated the cricket gear of a brother who had died at work and, in another, the family of a boy who died in the Black Saturday bushfires donated his gear.

“We showed photos to those families of the joy it brought to the children in Vanuatu who got to use their equipment and that brought home to them the true value of their donations.”

A documentary Mr Serong made in The Solomons showed how the donated gear, when used by former civil-war enemies, came to represent common ground. Two of the old antagonists got together for a game of cricket, which gradually became part of the healing process.

Other donated gear is being used in Imparja Cup matches between Indigenous communities around Alice Springs.

Mr Serong is hoping a national cricket drive, with support from Cricket Australia, will generate added interest in the charity. He is already receiving publicity and ground space in the outfield at the MCG Boxing Day tests and on Channel 9’s Cricket Show.

A highlight was receiving quality gear of all sorts from former Test player David Hussey. Its auction raised “a couple of thousand” dollars.

With stumps on the charity to be drawn in autumn next year, Mr Serong can look back of a match well played.

Line and length: Donations from Luke Serong’s cricket charity have given the game new life in impoverished countries. Picture: Yanni

OBITUARY

Lindsay Thomson - teacher

By Peter McCullough LINDSAY Thomson, a well-known teacher on the Mornington Peninsula, died at Dromana on 8 November. A large number of friends and acquaintances, many from his teaching days, attended the funeral at Tobin Brothers Chapel, Mt. Martha, on 18 November. The service was conducted by celebrant Wendy Withers and the eulogy was given

by Lindsay’s son, Ian. Tributes were given by grandson Karlis Zaid and friend Basil Van Dongen, while another grandson, Andrew Thomson, read the poem “Miss Me But Let Me Go.” This obituary is based on Ian Thomson’s eulogy, supplemented with a personal experience or two. *** LINDSAY David Thomson was born in Williamstown on Christmas Day 1922, the fourth and youngest child of Wemyss and Jessie Thomson.

During the 1920’s the family prospered as work was plentiful for Wemyss who was an experienced Steam Engineer working at the woollen mills and on various boats in Williamstown. However tragedy struck the family in 1930 when Jessie became ill and died from stomach cancer, a month before Lindsay’s 8th birthday. At the same time, the financial effects of the Depression were compounding the problems of being a single parent family with four children. Despite all these tribulations, Lindsay and his siblings all came through these childhood experiences with strong, engaging personalities that served them well in their families, careers and the community.

Lindsay attended North Williamstown Primary School and was particularly friendly with the Dunstan children from the local dairy. He helped out in the dairy’s horse stables and when they bought their first car, a Ford 10, Lindsay looked after it for them and taught them how to drive.

However, at the age of 14 Lindsay’s driving career was temporarily interrupted when his uncle, who ran a garage in Newport, saw Lindsay and his friends driving past, and promptly informed his father.

At school Lindsay took up lacrosse, which he enjoyed, and joined the Williamstown Lacrosse Club, training two nights a week, with matches on Saturdays. He went on trips to Port Pirie, Hobart and Launceston with the club, but once he went to work away from Williamstown his lacrosse career ended.

Lindsay attended Williamstown High School, but as he did not really like school,he made a minimum effort. His real passion would have been following his father and eldest brother into working with machinery.

However, because of the effects of the Depression, his father made the decision that his remaining children that were still at school would go to university and work for the government.

Lindsay accepted this and although his first job was as a Messenger Boy at the Herald/Sun, he soon moved on to become a Clerk at the SEC in Flinders Street. Later that year, in October 1940, Lindsay took up a position as a Student Teacher at Yarraville West Primary School. He thought he would work for six weeks, have six weeks holiday and then do something else. Little did he realise that this was the start of a 43-year career with the Education Department.

A year later, after a 10-day training

course at Footscray Primary School, Lindsay’s next appointment was as the only teacher at Cudgewa North Primary School, south of Walwa and west of Corryong in north-east Victoria teaching 16 students. Lindsay then spent the following year, 1942, attending Melbourne Teachers’ College and completing his Teacher Training, before taking up his first position as a trained primary teacher in 1943 as the only teacher at Noorinbee North Primary School, north of Cann River in Gippsland, teaching 12 students.

He travelled to Cann River with his bike on the train and then rode his bike the 90 minute /23 km journey to his lodgings on a pig farm near the school. Later he saved up and bought a BSA 250 motor bike which enabled him to travel home on weekends, an 8-hour trip. Then followed Hollydale Primary School near Childers, also in Gippsland another one teacher school, with 18 students. This time he stayed on a potato farm. Unlike his secondary schooling, Lindsay received good reports from the schools’ inspector in each of these years.

However, he was restless and wanted a change. It was still wartime, so Lindsay joined the RAAF at the start of 1945. He was interested in becoming a pilot, as flying a plane appealed to him and involved another form of machinery. So, he enlisted and completed his initial training at Pt. Cook and Somers which was the theoretical training. However, he didn’t get to start the flying training as the war was ending and to Lindsay’s dismay he was made an “Education Officer” and sent to the 92 Beaufighter Squadron in Kingaroy in Queensland, where he remained until he was discharged at the end of the war four months later and sent home to Williamstown.

6 December 2016

Lindsay didn’t want to return to primary teaching, so his brother , a secondary school teacher , suggested that Lindsay should try secondary school teaching. It wasn’t long before he was appointed as a Temporary Secondary Teacher at Northcote High School, where he taught maths, science and geography. In 1946 he was also given the task of setting up and organising the Northcote High School Cadets involving 200 boys in 6 platoons of 32 boys each, running camps at Puckapunyal and Mt Martha at the old Balcombe Army Camp. For his efforts, he was made a Captain in the Army Reserve. He said that there were many types of cadets – tall, short, fat, slim, smart and not so smart, but there were only two uniform sizes: too big and too small.

During 1947 he met Olive Caffin at a dance in Melbourne. Olive and her sister Winnie had both moved to Melbourne from Adelaide. Olive was working as a stenographer at Ansett Airlines. In August 1948 Olive and Lindsay were married in Adelaide, followed by a honeymoon in Sorrento. At first the newly-weds rented a house in Williamstown, but shifted to Canterbury before the birth of their first child, Linda, in mid-1949. Three and a half years later Ian was born.

During 1947 Lindsay had decided to take up part time study at night at Melbourne University in order to progress as a secondary school teacher. After a few years of study and marriage, he applied for Part Time Study Leave which was granted by the Education Department. This allowed him to teach half time at Northcote High School and study the rest of the time at Melbourne University where he successfully completed a Bachelor of Arts in 1953.

In 1954 he was promoted to Senior

Teacher in charge of the secondary school section of Rushworth Higher Elementary School and this was where Lindsay and I first crossed paths. At Rushworth Lindsay’s preference for motor vehicles which were a little different became evident.

His “fleet” consisted of a small green German car called a DKW and a large beige American car, possibly an Oldsmobile. It is unlikely that anyone would have sufficiently fond memories of the DKW to form a DKW car club. The larger car, presumably of pre-war vintage, was always reluctant to start. This would prompt Lindsay to round up a group of senior boys after school and lead them across to the school residence where they were required to push the Oldsmobile.

Fortunately the school residence was on a slight rise which made pushing not so arduous; had it been uphill it would have been hernias all round!

Further promotions followed for Lindsay:  Mornington High School in 1958 as Senior Master teaching maths and geography. Although on a regulation size block it was here that Lindsay started acquiring cars for spare parts.

It was also here that he bought his first Peugeot 203.  Then came Bonbeach High School in 1964 as Senior Master teaching maths and geography and responsible for Timetable. From being a student at Rushworth, in 1965 I became a work colleague of Lindsay’s at Bonbeach. We started up a weekly squash game which continued for many years; in spite of our age difference Lindsay was always a fierce competitor Lindsay was of the old school and held strongly to the view that a bit of corporal punishment would encourage the most reluctant student. On

one celebrated occasion at Bonbeach a teacher sent a boy to Lindsay’s office to check on a time-tabling matter.

Lindsay, busy as ever, wrenched the door open, instructed the speechless student to hold his hand out, gave him two of the best, and sent him back to his classroom. Those were the days... Later in 1964 the family moved to a large double block on Nepean Hwy, Mornington where the Peugeot wrecking and spare parts hobby turned into a business after the tax office decided it was no longer a hobby. On one occasion while they lived at “Tooronga” there was a loud noise in the middle of the night.

Lindsay rushed outside in slippers and dressing gown to find a vehicle had failed to take the slight curve in the highway, and was resting upside down on the front lawn. It was a Peugeot 203. While they awaited the arrival of emergency vehicles, Lindsay ascertained from the driver, still strapped upside down in the vehicle, that he was not insured. Lindsay made an offer and the transaction was completed as emergency service vehicles arrived. Later that day it was towed to the back of the block to join the thirty other Peugeots in various states of repair, or disrepair. Only one vehicle was ever registered and this would require a shift of number plates to the vehicle which was in the best running order.  Lindsay’s first position as Principal was at Pakenham High School in 1969. It was new school and Lindsay supervised its move into new buildings on the Princes Highway, where it rapidly grew in his time there. Despite being a first-time Principal,the school was established on good standards; he was firm, but fair, where student discipline was not a problem, unlike many schools today. .

and Peugeot accumulator  Then came Parkdale High School in 1973. Once again the family, by this time, Lindsay, Olive, and grandson, Karlis, moved to Beleura Hill Road, Mornington and Lindsay bought his first factory to store the large number of Peugeot cars from the Nepean Highway house.

In 1978 Lindsay took long service leave, travelling both in Australia and overseas with Olive and Karlis, visiting Olive’s relatives in England and travelling to Wick in the north of Scotland to see the fishing village from where the Thomsons emigrated.

They also travelled through much of Europe before returning home.  On his return from leave, Lindsay was sent to Caulfield High School as a trouble-shooter in 1979.

The Principal had suddenly resigned without notice and the Deputy Principal had a nervous breakdown after considerable industrial unrest at the school. Lindsay was required to bring the school under control and minimise industrial action- which he did. For the next three years, he worked for the Board of Inspectors doing school reviews and teacher assessments throughout Victoria.  After turning 60 in December 1982, Lindsay’s last assignment was as a relieving Principal at Exhibition High School in Carlton in 1983, while the Principal took long service leave. He retired in Term Two of that year. ***.

In retirement, Lindsay was finally able to fully indulge his passion for cars. He sold his first small factory and set up his Peugeot and Renault wrecking business, Peugparts, in the newer larger factory. He ran the business for six years, before deciding to retire from work altogether.

In 1995, Lindsay and Olive moved from Mornington to Mt Waverley to a double block with a single bedroom apartment attached to the main house and a big double garage. The apartment was for Linda primarily, but she came and went from time to time as she battled with drug issues which were to eventually take her life.

Despite his passion being with cars and things mechanical generally, Lindsay had a strong belief in the value of education and encouraged Linda, Ian and Karlis to gain a tertiary education and become selfsufficient. Linda’s battles with drugs, especially in a time where very few families had experienced the insidious nature of the addict’s behaviour found Lindsay and Olive ill prepared for dealing with this sort of crisis. But deal with it they did and through it all they managed to continue to live their lives, when it could have destroyed many other couples. They also took over raising Karlis from Linda when he was 7 years of age and have produced a fine actor/singer/song & scriptwriter, who is self-sufficient and a contributing member of society.

Meanwhile, Olive’s health was

declining and by 2002 she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.

They moved to a retirement village in Mornington where Lindsay cared for her until 2005, when he was no longer able to manage her by himself and she went into respite care. Olive died not long after in November 2005.

Lindsay later moved to another retirement village in Berwick to be near a station until the end of 2014 when he lived with Ian and his wife, Marie, for 3 months before obtaining a place at an aged care facility nearby in Safety Beach.

Probably as a result of his early life challenges, Lindsay was always pragmatic and accepting of what life served up to him; not complaining or looking for others to blame, but just getting on with whatever was required to be done at that time. It did not always produce the required result, but it allowed him to move on, by stopping his mind from dwelling on issues that were outside his control.

So, despite any challenges in his life, Lindsay lived a good life with virtually no serious health issues for 90 odd years and even in the aged care facility he was happy with his lot, joining in the activities and loved by all the staff. It was there that he met and nursed his first and only great-grandchild, Andi, who was five months old at the time.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Pair convicted of drunkenness in Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions. Thursday 7th December, 1916.

Before Messrs S. Sherlock and W. J. Oates. Js. P. DISORDERLY VISITORS. Constable Ryan charged Kenneth Logan and Charles Brodie with having been found drunk and disorderly in a public place to wit Beach Street at Frankston on Wednesday night, 6th December.

Prisoners at first pleaded not guilty and afterwards amended their plea to guilty.

Constable Ryan informed the court that it was alleged that on the evening of 6th December two drunken men who answered to accused’s description, followed two ladies, using offensive language to them and generally misbehaving.

The ladies were obliged to hail a passing vehicle in order to escape from their unwelcome attendants. The ladies endeavoured to communicate with the police by telephone but, as there is no telephone at the local police station, a delay of some hours occurred before witness received word of the offence.

He then went in search of the offenders and at 11pm he arrested the two accused whom he found drunk and disorderly in Beach Street, Frankston.

The ladies did not desire to come forward as witnesses to identify the men, so therefore witness intended to proceed only on the charge of drunkenness.

The bench severely lectured the

prisoners and told them to take warning by their narrow escape from a more serious charge.

Each man was then fined 5s or 24 hours imprisonment. The fines were paid. *** THE friends of Pte F Murray of Somerville have been notified that he has been wounded (the second time) while in action in France. No particulars are to hand. *** THE object is worthy, the artists are worthy, and a worthy audience is expected at the Scotch Concert in aid of Xmas Bag Fund, for Langwarrin soldiers. *** A PAINTER named Minton met with a painful accident on Wednesday while painting on the roof of the of the Somerville Hotel Billiard room.

Through some mishap he lost his footing and fell to the ground sustaining a compound fracture of the leg below the knee.

Mr Coop conveyed him by cart to Melbourne Hospital where his injuries were attended to. *** GENERAL regret was expressed in Frankston on Wednesday, when word was received from the Defence Department that Sapper F. Burton had been, killed in action in France on November 6th.

He has lived in Frankston since boyhood, and gained the esteem and good will of all who knew him.

Heartfelt sympathy is extended to the widow and children who are left

presentations and deliver an address, on the occasion.

We also have much pleasure in making an earnest request to friends of recent Frankston volunteers to forward to the hon. Sec., Dr Plowman, the names, and exact camp addresses of such recruits.

The labors of the committee will be much lessened thereby. *** THE return match between Langwarrin Camp Cricket Club and Frankston Cricket Club will the place today (Saturday). The soldiers expect to defeat the seasiders and the band will be in attendance to play the conquering heroes home.

A full attendance of “bots” is requested. *** ATTENTION is drawn to Military notice warning the public against entering the danger zone while rifle practice is being carried on.

It is found that visitors and others take unnecessary risk by walking immediately behind the stop butts and entering the danger zone.

There has been no accident on the Langwarrin since it was laid out over 16 years ago, and the authorities are determined to maintain their good reputation. *** IN consequence of the decline of several rifle clubs in the Mornington Peninsula, and the rise of miniature rifle clubs, the Cheltenham rifle club has made arrangements to allow any resident of the Mornington Peninsula to enter their Club.

to mourn their great and sad loss. *** MR A. W. Taylor, of the Frankston Motor Garage, has just been appointed agent for the Peninsula, for the famous “Trumbull” and “Victory” cars.

The former is a very snappy light car, with Australian built, three-seater body while the latter, a full size touring car although practically new to this country, is designed especially to meet the rough condition of most of our roads, and is replete with the very latest equipment. *** WE are pleased to record the fact that two sons of Dr Plowman have gained some distinction in College athletics.

At Duntroon Military College, Mr Frank Plowman has again secured the Mile Walk Championship, and is runner up for the Singles Tennis Championship.

Mr Sidney Plowman, junr., has tied with Mr Fetherstonhaugh for Championship in Gymnastics, at Geelong Grammar School.

Since the above was in print we notice that in the list of Trinity College Scholarships, published on the 7th inst, the name of Sidney Plowman, as having gained a Warden’s scholarship of the value of £25. *** WE are requested to call attention to an alteration in the date of the sixth presentation to Frankston volunteers to Thursday, December 21st.

His Honor Sir John Madden G.C.M.G., L L.D., D C. L. etc, has very kindly consented to make the

The facts about foot and leg pain DID you know more than 80% of Australians will experience serious foot and leg problems at some point in their lives?

The most common foot and leg ailments include: Heel pain (most commonly referred to as Plantar Fasciitis); Knee pain, injuries and arthritis; Shin pain; Achilles concerns; Ankle pain or injury; Arch pain and Bunions. All of these can be caused or aggravated by faulty biomechanics and/or bad foot posture continually pulling your body out of alignment.

Most of these concerns, however, can be quite easily addressed if diagnosed correctly and treated appropriately.

Dr. David Kavanagh, musculoskeletal and sports podiatrist at one of Australia’s leading foot & leg pain and injury practices says, “At our Foot & Leg Pain Clinics we see so

many people who have been incorrectly diagnosed & have been provided unsuitable or inappropriate treatment. Many others are being told that nothing can be done for them or that surgery and medication are their only options, which is so often not the case. With correct diagnosis, the utilization of the latest medically researched treatments and appropriate application, we’re able to treat most foot and leg pain quite easily, even cases that have been untreatable in the past, which is really exciting.”

So don’t just put up with foot and leg pain, injury or arthritis.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics are located right across Melbourne including Mt. Eliza, Rosebud, Berwick and Moorabbin . For appointments call 1300 328 300.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A post-truth post mortem

By Stuart McCullough SO long evidence. It seems the world has truly fallen out of the love with you. So much so that the term ‘post-truth’ has been crowned ‘word of the year’. I’m not entirely sure what the award ceremony for ‘word of the year’ is like, having pretty much lost interest in it after Beyonce got the gong for ‘Bootylicious’. In an ideal world, I’d like to think that ‘post-truth’ nailed it with a great performance in the swimsuit section. Even if that weren’t so, it wouldn’t matter at all, given that the world in general has now surrendered to the idea that saying something that’s spectacularly untrue is now a legitimate tool of communication.

Facts are not what they used to be. Which, generally speaking, was useful. Instead, facts are old hat. They’re the horse and cart of public discourse.

Worse than that, they get in the way of the point I’m truly trying to make. Which is precisely why they need to be called out as the disease carrying, terrorist-supporting cause of climate change that they are. It’s well accepted that ever since facts starting arriving here in 1834 on board the USS Enterprise that things in general have gone to hell in a handcart. And the sooner we get used to doing without facts clogging our arteries and melting the polar caps, the better off we’ll all be.

Truth be told (and from now on, it probably shouldn’t be) I am at least partly to blame. I wasn’t much for science in school. It never seemed as interesting to me as English and creative writing where making things up was pretty much the done thing. My eyes glazed over in biology. The mere mention of the words ‘Bunsen burner’ would plunge me into a torpor from which it would take me most of the day to recover.

In retrospect, I deeply regret my lack of engagement. Having reacted to matters of science and evidence with a shrug of the shoulders and a nonchalant ‘meh’ means that I’m especially vulnerable in the post-truth world. Because the problem with

Source: www.weeklyworldnews.com

facts and things that aren’t facts is that it’s now very difficult to tell them apart. It’s like they’re twins that have only just starting dressing in identical clothes. I suppose I never thought science would be much use to me. Or, perhaps, I simply assumed that facts would always be there. It never really occurred to me that they’d be under threat.

But, on the bright side, the dawn of the post-truth world has some serious advantages. It means that events from my childhood in which I did not so much embellish the truth as I did brazenly violate

its sanctity can now be reappraised. I would have been grade one when I got into a fight. I don’t remember the details, save that I was held down by a couple of kids while one of my fellow students pretended to be a horse and kicked me. It sounds terrible, but it’s possible that these egregious attacks were precipitated by some kind of action on my part. In short, it’s distinctly possible that I had acted like a twerp.

News of this schoolyard drubbing set the quadrangle ablaze. Some students asked me if I was

all right. Deeply embarrassed, instead of brushing off the events as I should have done, I used my imagination to make the situation sound far more horrifying than it actually was. When the whole debacle came to the attention of my teacher, I falsely claimed that I had been treated in hospital.

It is fair to say that merry hell then broke loose.

Parents were called and the other student hauled in for punishment. It soon emerged that I’d not required medical intervention at all, at which point the weather vane of primary school retribution turned swiftly in my direction. I was in trouble.

In fact, it was enough trouble to last me the rest of my life, as it’s a lesson I’ve never really forgotten.

The consequences of lying can be profound. Or so I thought. If I were to reappraise these events, my claims would no longer be considered a lie but as ‘post-truth’. They might even win me a prize of some kind.

But post-truth is much more than a tool by which to reappraise the past. It’s really about the future. Apparently there is now such a thing as ‘fake news’. That is, news that is only real in a kind of ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter’ kind of way. The proliferation of fraud as the new reality means there can never really be consensus on anything. Ever. Instead, we’re condemned to a state of perpetual antagonism and snarling conflict.

So here we are. The earth is flat. The sky is pink and purple polka dots. The moon landing was filmed in a back lot studio between episodes of ‘I Dream of Jeannie’. Phar Lap was an android built from leftover transistor parts and Flipper was played not by an aquatic mammal but by Charles Laughton in really, really heavy makeup.

And Fidel Castro isn’t dead; he’s just resting his eyes. Granted, I can’t back any of those assertions up with anything remotely resembling evidence.

But, when all’s said and done, I don’t need to. And that’s the (post) truth. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Western Port News 6 December 2016

Mounties shoot to the top PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MT ELIZA has shot to the top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after recording its second outright victory for the season against Pines on Saturday.

While the Mounties have moved to the top of the table, the top four have now given themselves a buffer of 24 points.

Langwarrin, in fourth place, recording a convincing win against Moorooduc with leaders Jake Prosser and Travis Campbell starring with the bat.

Baxter star Chris Brittain was at his sensational best with an amazing 155 to help his side record a 50 plus run win against Mornington.

Peninsula Old Boys are in second place on the ladder after hanging on in a thriller against Pearcedale.

In other results, Sorrento knocked over Long Island by six wickets and

Somerville proved too strong for Crib Point, who are experiencing a rough trot.

Chris Brittain was without question the story of round five in the match between Baxter and Mornington.

Arguably the best all-rounder in our game right now, Brittain blasted 18 fours and six sixes to help his side thrash Mornington.

The Doggies opened well, picking up openers Joe Rule and skipper Daniel Warwick to have the home side on the back foot at 2/38.

However Brittain, along with Justin Bridgeman who scored 66, quickly took the game away from the visitors.

By the time Bridgeman was out, Baxter was already five runs ahead and the 12 points were in the bank.

Pearcedale went within 40 runs of chasing down Peninsula Old Boys 266 on Saturday.

At various stages throughout the con-

test, it appeared that the Panthers were going to cause an upset, however, the Old Boys claimed important scalps at important times to grab yet another victory.

Brad Trotter got the Panthers away to a solid start with 54 and formed a solid partnership with Chris Dew, who top scored with 70.

Max Blackburn (24) and Shayne Gillings (34) did all the hard work in the middle, making the most of the foundation that had been laid for them.

Their wickets were the difference between winning and losing the match, eventually dismissed for 237.

Skipper Kaine Smith, as he so often does, gave the visitors some hope late in the innings with 22, however when he went, it was all over from there.

The Olds Boys are a very professional outfit who are at the opposition relentlessly all day. It was this attitude that saw them win the match and main-

tain their strong position at the top of the ladder.

Langwarrin was in a strong position overnight against Moorooduc at 1/65 chasing 155 for victory and were never in an kind of trouble when play begun on day two.

Simon McEvoy (39) and Joel Bateman (40) got the Kangas away to a solid start and then Aaron Edwards (29), Jake Prosser (59) and Travis Campbell (68) dominated.

Prosser, who has been extremely patient this season, belted four fours and five sixes in his innings, while Campbell smashed 15 fours in his innings.

Langwarrin declared at 5/263 before sending the Ducs back out into the middle.

The Ducs were never in any trouble, finishing the day on 4/134 as the Kangas used eight bowlers, including McEvoy, who went for 10 off one over.

Mt Eliza was just 39 runs from vic-

tory when it resumed play at 2/50 on day two against Pines. The Mounties finished at 8/163 before sending the Piners back into bat.

After scoring just 88 in the first innings, Pines fared worse in its second dig, bowled out for just 79. The Mounties needed just eight runs to pick up the outright victory.

Justin Grant picked up an amazing 5/5 from eight overs in the second innings, giving him match figures of 8/18 off 26.5 overs, including 17 maidens.

Crib Point got its season back on track with a great victory against Somerville.

Chasing 233 for victory, the Magpies got the win with three wickets and plenty of overs to spare.

The top order set up the win with Henry Dolphin scoring 42, Matt Blake 69 and Luke Herrington 58, while Ricky Thompson once again chimed in when it was required with 21.

their own way against Seaford Tigers but still managed to record a 42-run win.

In other results in perfect conditions on Saturday, Baden Powell went within four wickets of recording an outright win against Boneo, Rosebud hung on to win a tight one against Heatherhill by 32 runs and Delacombe Park recorded a comprehensive win against Seaford.

Rye was unable to avoid yet another outright loss against Flinders.

Flinders batted first and declared with eight overs left on the first day at 9/226.

Rye faced the final eight overs of the day and lost Beau Suffern and resumed on day two at 1/11.

They were bowled out for 77 before being sent straight back in.

Max Royal with 4/14 was the best of the bowlers in the first innings while Tom Clements snared 3/11 from eight overs. Clements picked up 4/23 in the second innings for Flinders, however Rye avoided outright defeat, finishing on 8/116.

Boneo resumed at 1/59 against Baden Powell, who scored 9/242.

Things weren’t as positive on the second day though for the Pandas, bowled out for 170.

Baden Powell then fired off a quick 2/125 before sending the Pandas back in to bat. The home side finished at 6/106.

Rosebud set Heatherhill 218 for

victory in their match at Olympic Park and for the visitors, it was a score they couldn’t chase down.

Although Kristian Miller scored 48 and Christian Heath 28 at the top of the innings, things couldn’t get going in the middle order.

Matty Meagher led a slight revival with 30 but the Hills were eventually rolled for 185.

Jason Nagel was at his vintage best for the Buds with 5/65 from 28 overs while Billy Quigley chimed in with 4/51 from 24 overs.

Seaford resumed on day two at 1/23 against Delacombe Park. They were rolled for 125.

Dean Blight was the pick of the bowlers with 4/38, while Rob Fisher,

Andrew Stapleton and Ricky Ramsdale all picked up two wickets each.

Seaford Tigers had their work cutout to hunt down the 280 required for victory against Mt Martha.

The Tigers did well though, scoring 6/237 before the match was declared a draw.

Ash Mills scored 82 and David James hit 62, while Aaron Mountey hit 47.

Kyle Bendle was outstanding with the ball for the Reds with 5/44 from 17.3 overs.

Red Hill easily accounted for Main Ridge.

Resuming at 1/64, chasing 103, the Hillmen declared at 7/195. Main Ridge was 6/137 at the end of play.

Tight at the top of District DISTRICT

By IT Gully A LOG-JAM continues at the top of the ladder in MPCA District cricket after the conclusion of round five on Saturday.

There are nine teams all within a game of the top four with Red Hill, Flinders and Mt Martha all providing themselves with a little buffer after recording wins on Saturday.

Both Red Hill and Flinders failed in their attempt to record outright wins over Main Ridge and Rye respectively on Saturday after being in strong positions to do so, however, still recorded strong victories.

Blues on their own SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS sits alone at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after smashing Carrum Downs on Saturday.

The Blues took 20 wickets for just 164 runs against the Cougars, giving them a 14 point break at the top of the ladder.

It was one of Carrum Downs’ worst results in recent times while Hastings appears to be flexing its muscles after a couple of years in lean times.

In other round five results, Dromana won a nail biter against Tootgarook,

Carrum was too strong for Balnarring, Ballam Park upset Frankston YCW and Skye recorded a rare win against the up and down Tyabb.

The match of the round was no doubt between Dromana and Tootgarook.

The Frogs set the visitors 187 for victory after being bowled out in week one in the 78th over for 186.

After a wobbly beginning and a middle order collapse, Dromana’s Zac Clan and Craig Dunlop put on a 38-run partnership for the ninth wicket to get their team across the line.

The Hoppers looked to be in some strife at 6/90, however, Jedd Savage

ting at nine, hitting 46. It was enough to record a win.

At one stage the Knights were in a world of pain at 5/33, then lost 2/1 to be 7/62.

The Stonecats, who batted again and were 0/90 at the end of play, shared the wickets.

Lai Leaunoa was the pick of them with 3/48 from 29 overs, the evergreen Andy Kitson snared 3/45 from 25 overs and Jack Butland helped himself to 3/32 from 13 overs.

Hastings added just a further 40 runs to its overnight score and lost six wickets, however, it was enough for an out-

(61) was able to offer some resistance.

It was then left to Clan and Dunlop to knuckle down and get the runs required to grab the all-important 12 points.

AJ King was the front line bowler for Tootgarook with 4/37 from 28 overs, including 14 maidens. Matty Whelan jagged 2/59 from 17 overs.

The scoreboard will show that Ballam Park recorded a solid 25 run win against Frankston YCW, however, the scoreboard isn’t always the best indicator.

The Knights had just two batsmen score double figures on Saturday, Stuart Plunkett scoring 54 and Jay Yates, bat-

right win over Carrum Downs.

The Blues responded with 197 in reply to the Cougars first innings total of 62.

Hastings then bowled the visitors out a second time for 102.

Isuru Dias was outstanding for the Blues in the second innings, claiming 6/27 from 11 overs.

Balnarring was bowled out for 189, chasing Carrum’s 256 and Skye bounced back from being 1/15 overnight to score 7/198 to get the win after Tyabb scored 156.

Andrew Craddock was superb for the winners with 70.

Imports galore as Langy goes all out for title SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN’S assault on the 2017 State 1 South-East championship will be powered by a raft of visa players.

The Lawton Park outfit will throw down the gauntlet to local clubs Mornington and Casey Comets and cashed up Greek-backed opponents Malvern City, Clifton Hill, South Springvale and Caulfield United Cobras by backing the quality of its imports to take the league by storm.

Central defender and former Macclesfield Town youth team captain Kieron Kenny has agreed terms with Langy and should arrive within a fortnight.

Kenny, 23, is currently on the books of Congleton Town in the Hallmark Security League, which is the former North West Counties League in England.

Kenny is a friend of Langy defender Andy McIntyre and looms as an ideal replacement for 2016 Langwarrin captain Alex van Heerwarden who quit the club recently and joined nearby rival Casey Comets in a move that caused ructions at Lawton Park.

“I want players that want to play for Langy and any players that leave the club I’m confident that we can replace them with better players,” said Langwarrin senior coach Gus Macleod.

The canny Glaswegian will be at the helm for a record 19th straight season having joined Langy near the end of last century, a remarkable feat in a sport renowned for brief coaching tenures.

Classy capture: Alex Metcalfe

Connor’s coming: Connor Belger

Top target: Kieron Kenny

There was a buzz about the club on Thursday when pre-season training started and Macleod is looking forward to seeing his new signings in Langy colours.

Kenny has played in the Swedish Second Division with Gaellivare Malmberget and figured prominently in a 2-2 draw with AFC Liverpool in September.

The significance of that league clash is that two more Langy imports featured for AFC Liverpool, 23-year-olds Connor Belger and Paul Speed and they are due to arrive in Australia with their partners in midJanuary.

Belger and Speed are former teammates at Formby and have been recommended by ex-Langy marquee player and former England youth international Kevin Townson.

Belger is a midfielder while Speed can play in midfield or up front.

Towering central midfielder Mat Luak, 25, is another Langy capture

and was prominent in Thursday’s training game.

The 194cm Sudanese powerhouse from Morwell Pegasus has silky skills and is a former Altona Magic star who also has played college football in the US. Macleod has been in charge of the Scotland team in this year’s All Nations’ Cup, an annual tournament held at Egan Lee Reserve in Knoxfield, and he’s snapped up two more visa players in Scotsman Aaran Currie and Englishman Alex Metcalfe.

Currie is a teenage winger who has been involved with Hearts, Hibs, Livingston, Hutchison Vale and Preston Athletic and joined Moreland City in Victoria’s NPL 2 for the back half of last season while 22-year-old Metcalfe is a left-sided player who has had stints with Hull City, Scarborough Athletic, Harrowgate Town and Ossett Albion.

Former Brighton and Hove Albion and Pagham defender or midfielder

Alfie Bunker, who has been playing with Doncaster Rovers in Melbourne, quicksilver forward Nasser Mohammad from Casey Comets and teenage Kenyan midfielder Sulieman Ahmad Mahfudh from Hampton Park United also are on Langy’s radar.

“We’ve been stable for the last few years so now’s the time to give the supporters and the whole club something to cheer about,” said Macleod.

“I’ve won championships with every club I’ve been with so I know what it takes.

“It’s about getting the balance right and just remember we’ve got a lot of younger players who now have first team experience, guys like Solly, Brandon, Kurt, CK and Dylan.

“We’re going to give this title a good shot. Last season we competed with the top six but bringing in more quality players means it’s time we started beating these types of teams.

“I’d like nothing better than to be

in my 20th year here with the club in the NPL.” Entrance to Victoria’s elite National Premier League setup is the carrot being dangled in the faces of State 1 clubs in 2017 and this has sparked a signing frenzy.

However, one player unlikely to return to Lawton Park is Warragul United captain Thomas Ahmadzai.

One of the gun central midfielders in the competition, Ahmadzai has been courted by both Langy and Mornington among others but is likely to remain with Warragul.

If Macleod can retain Robbie Acs, James Foster, McIntyre, Nick Thorogood, Boris Ovcin, Johnny Guthrie, Grant Lane, Sam Scott, Caleb Nicholes and Nabil Mozaffaruddin he may have assembled the strongest squad in the club’s history.

Koray Suat and Chris Driver have retired while Anthony Selemidis is believed to be pursuing business interests.

Langy’s war chest has benefitted from increased sponsorship from former player Greg Kilner, the principal of Premier Builders’ Group, and another former player in Craig Hosie, managing director of civil construction company LOJAC, who recently joined Premier as a main sponsor.

Macleod’s support staff again includes assistants Neil Collyer and Robert Mathieson with Robert Mathieson senior as team manager.

Tanya Wallace has stepped down after two successful years as club president, a role once more in the capable hands of John Heskins.

A celebration of Australia’s newest Toyota showroom MORNINGTON Peninsula’s only authorised Toyota dealer proudly announces the completion of the most modern and technically advanced Toyota sales and service facilities in Australia.

Mornington Toyota’s Managing Director and Dealer Principal Anthony Smith, who has owned Mornington Toyota for the past four years, said that the investment was long overdue and the new home of Toyota on the peninsula is something he is very proud of.

“We’ve gone to painstaking lengths to ensure that our new facilities not just meet, but exceed the exacting criteria of modernToyota dealerships”.

Mr Smith, who is also an involved peninsula local has said that he emphatically believes that motorists on the peninsula are among the most discerning in Australia.

“We’ve created a car dealership that will attract our guests”.

Over the coming months, Mornington Toyota will, no doubt, be attracting guests from all over the state to what is regarded “the benchmark in car retailing”.

Mr Smith believes that peninsula residents will have no reason to go beyond their local Toyota dealer for the ultimate in sales, service and parts, that is second-to none!

Their coveted Toyota “Five Star Guest Experience” rating for superior service already underpins this.

When the new showroom doors open to the public on December 5, we’ll be celebrating with huge savings on the entire Toyota range of cars, commercial vehicles and 4X4’s.

Mr Smith commented that after nearly twelve months, “it feels like Christmas has come early for me. Our guests will think so too, with the spectacular deals we have on offer!”

Mornington Toyota is located at 915 Nepean Highway, Mornington; 200 metres north of Main Most modern and technically advanced in Australia: Mornington Toyota’s brand new showroom Street.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corn cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made of coal Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say He was made out of snow But the children know how he came to life one day There must of been some magic in That old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day So he said, Let’s run and have some fun before I melt away Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all around the square Saying Catch me if you can He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment When he heard him holler stop Frosty the snowman Had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye sayin’, Please don’t cry I’ll be back again some day

GIFT GUIDE 2016

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS

From the team at HASTINGS FAMILY DENTAL CARE! RE! E!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Everywhere you go; Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Toys in every store But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen; And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

As another year draws to an end, we just want to take this opportunity to thank all of our patients for their support throughout the year

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Everywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart!

We wish to advise we will be open through the Christmas period (excluding public holidays).

Wishing you an enjoyable, relaxing and safe Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
