Mornington News 10 December 2013

Keeping boaties safe: Volunteer Marine Rescue volunteers power across Port Phillip near Mornington harbour on one of their boats. The service was founded in 1980.

Volunteers to the rescue with sound boating tips MORNINGTON’S award-winning Volunteer Marine Rescue service, now entering its 33rd summer of operation, offers five recreational boating safety tips: 1. Before you go out, check the weather forecast. A calm day can quickly turn ugly on the water. Keep an eye out for changing weather conditions by monitoring the forecast. Check out www.bom.gov.au 2. Always wear a lifejacket and insist your crew and guests do the same. While it is only a requirement to wear one in certain situations, the low cost of automatically inflating PFDs is cheap insurance. Remember, it’s only a lifejacket if you’re wearing it – and make sure it’s in good condition. 3. Check all safety equipment before heading out. Make sure everyone on the vessel knows where it is stored and how to operate it. 4. Always makes sure you have enough fuel – one-third for the trip out, one-third for the trip home and a third in reserve. 5. Stay with your vessel. In the event you end up in the water, ensure you and all occupants stay with the boat. It is far easier for rescue authorities to find you.

About VMR MORNINGTON Community Bay Rescue Service, now VMR Mornington and Hastings, was formed in May 1980 when a boating accident occurred within sight of land, and police stood helpless on the cliff top watching one of the occupants trying to reach shore. By the time a boat could be located, launched and reached the overturned vessel, the swimmer

had drowned. The incident sat heavily on the shoulders of Mornington police who decided not to let it happen again. The name of the man who lost his life that day, Paul Darbyshire, was honoured when the service named its first rescue craft The Darbyshire. VMR operates three purpose-built search and rescue vessels, two at Mornington and one at Hastings. Members assist boaties and other marine users under the direction of water police. VMR’s mission is “Serving our local community in the protection of life at sea”. VMR president Col Strawbridge said the service was staffed solely by volunteers, mostly boaties and anglers living on the peninsula. “Our volunteers all love being on the water and, more importantly, helping others. They respond 24-7 and we can be on the water and underway in about 10-15 minutes,” he said. VMR is a free service, but each year needs to raise more than $67,000 for maintenance, fuel, a berth at Western Port Marina and other costs. “VMR has been fortunate to receive grants from the state government for Yamaha engines for its three vessels,” Mr Strawbridge said. “Our Hastings vessel is fitted with the most advanced FLIR camera, usually found only on police and military vessels. “FLIR, or forward looking infrared, is invaluable on night searches when people are in the water. It detects thermal heat and is a night vision camera that can ‘see’ 1.2 kilometres.” For more information about VMR, look up www.vmrmornington.com.au

Shop safety a priority: WorkSafe WORKSAFE inspectors started visiting retail stores across Victoria last week to remind shop owners and their staff about safety during the busy Christmas and New Year sales rush, says WorkSafe regional director Melinda Collinson “The visits will continue over summer with a focus on housekeeping practices, ladder safety, storage and stock management processes, and safety training for young and new workers,” she said. “We understand it’s a very busy time for everyone in the industry, but we’re asking retailers to take particular care so that everyone can get home safely at the end of each day. “Many businesses put on casuals for the summer months, so it’s particularly important young or new employees receive appropriate training and supervision. They should be encouraged to speak up if they are uncertain about how to do something safely.” Statistics show that in clothing and footwear

retail, handling boxes, cartons and crates account for 53 per cent of manual handling injuries. Ladders are responsible for a quarter of slip, trip and fall injuries. Ms Collinson urged every workplace to take a proactive approach to identifying and fixing safety issues. “One of the easiest ways to prevent slips, trips and falls is to make sure areas are free of clutter and excess stock. “A simple solution to avoid manual handling injuries is to use an elevated work surface such as a trolley or table instead of lifting stock from the floor.” She said workers needed the right equipment to access stock or displays. Platform-style ladders were often a better choice than A-frame ladders. For information on retail safety, go to worksafe.vic.gov.au/retail

Police target drink, speed By Mike Hast POLICE will be out in force on the Mornington Peninsula over summer, targeting drink-drivers and speedsters, says Sergeant Dave Collins, one of two highway patrol bosses in the region. The region has extra money from the Transport Accident Commission for more police shifts to ramp up the longrunning Operation Back Roads, which

sees officers in marked and unmarked cars patrolling minor peninsula roads to test drivers for alcohol and drugs. “We’re conducting random breath testing every day,� Sergeant Collins said. Booze and drug bus operations will be conducted on highways, Peninsula Link freeway and other major roads. He said a recent tactic was to set up on all roads leading to major inter-

sections. Recent operations had been conducted in Mornington, Sorrento, Baxter, Tyabb and Hastings. “We set up at the intersection of Melbourne and Hughes roads in Sorrento, and at Coolart and Graydens roads near Hastings, and were disappointed with the number of people caught drink-driving,� he said. “Some peninsula people still think

they can get away with drink-driving.� Extra police would concentrate on the southern peninsula in particular, he said. Sergeant Collins said a new law coming in next year would allow police to impound cars of drivers caught with a blood alcohol reading of 0.10, twice the legal limit. Fixed speed cameras on Peninsula

Link and mobile cameras in police cars will try and curb speeding drivers, he said. “We’ll still be patrolling Peninsula Link despite speed cameras being turned on recently,� he said. Transport Accident Commission money would also allow more speed camera patrols. Continued Page 10

Pier jumper’s safety warning AT age 20, Nazim Erdem dived off a Port Phillip pier to impress some girls but sustained a permanent spinal cord injury that left him quadriplegic. “It was just a bit of fun with my mates, but it’s changed my life forever. You’re aware there are risks in life but I never thought jumping off a pier would result in an injury like this,” he said. Mr Erdem is asking Victorians to think before they jump or dive off piers and jetties this summer to minimise the risk of spinal cord injury. “After I’d jumped off the pier and hit the bottom, I realised I couldn’t move any part of my body, which meant I couldn’t resurface. Luckily I’d been taught to hold my breath under water for up to three minutes. My mates thought I was mucking around so I was under water for nearly two and a half minutes before they realised something was wrong.” Before the injury, Mr Erdem played Australian Rules and was an amateur boxer. After the incident, he took up wheelchair rugby and was a member of the Australian team that won silver medals at the 2000 Sydney and 2008 Beijing Paralympics, and gold at the 2012 London Paralympics. He is the first person with a spinal cord injury to paraglide solo as well as compete in the Targa Tasmania car rally. Graeme Davis of Parks Victoria, which manages Victoria’s piers and jetties, said each year there were 350-400 spinal cord injuries with 9 per cent caused by water-related accidents. “Males aged 15-35 years are at highest risk of getting a spinal cord injury, and most are preventable,” he said. Parks Victoria and Independence Australia are reminding Victorians to think before they jump or dive off piers and jetties this summer. “Despite regular patrols of piers and upgraded signs in Port Phillip and Western Port, people are not listening to warnings, and serious injuries are still regularly occurring,” Mr Davis said. “Diving from piers and jetties is an extremely dangerous practice.” “Water depths change daily as a result of tides, sand movement and submerged debris such as shopping trolleys are unexpected.” Details: www.parks.vic.gov.au

Faster mobiles TELSTRA has extended its 4G service to Sorrento, Somers, Crib Point, Balnarring, Somerville, Hastings and Pearcedale. Areas still to be provided with the faster mobile download service include Mornington, Mt Eliza, Mt Martha and Rosebud. The new areas for the 4G network were switched on last week, allowing for faster “streaming movies, downloading music and internet browsing”, according to Telstra Country Wide’s area general manager for Melbourne southeast Vicky Allen. Ms Allen said the service gave more peninsula people “speeds as fast as those in capital cities” and “four times that of any competitor”. The increased 4G coverage makes faster downloads and uploads available to 85 per cent of the peninsula’s population, up from 66 per cent at the end of June.

Snow business: Belle Brockhoff has risen through the ranks of competition snowboarding with astonishing speed and is off to the Winter Olympics in Russia early next year.

Brockhoff has recipe for snow success By Mike Hast PENINSULA snowboarder Belle Brockhoff has snow in her genes and winning on her mind. The 20-year-old first skied as a child and took up snowboarding at age 10 with an eye to competing at the Olympics. She is off to the Winter Games in Russia in February after a stellar rise in the highly competitive world of snowboarding. Her uncle, Peter Brockhoff, competed in alpine skiing at the 1960 and 1964 Winter Olympics. Her grandfather Harold Brockhoff was one of the original pioneers of Mt Buller, and her great aunt, Joyce Brockhoff, has a run named in her honour at Mt Hotham in recognition

of her work promoting women in snow sports. Her dad Bruce Brockhoff competed in an entirely different dimension – he was an international and national gliding champion in the 1980s. The Brockhoff name may be familiar to older readers: Belle’s great-great-grandfather established the biscuit manufacturing firm A F Brockhoff & Co in Melbourne in the 1800s, and three generations worked in the company, including her dad Bruce. Brockhoff’s Biscuits merged with Arnott’s in 1966. But back to the snow: the Australian Olympics Committee says Belle Brockhoff is one of the world’s most formidable snowboard cross competitors.

At the Olympic test event in Russia, she placed sixth and finished the 2012-13 season ranked ninth in the world. A breakthrough bronze at a world cup in Austria gave her the confidence to chase a medal at her first Olympics. “I definitely want to finish on the podium at the Games,” Brockhoff said before departing for a training camp in Austria. She has been training in Australia and New Zealand to prepare physically and technically for the final weeks of competition and the Games next year. Fractions of a second make a difference in snowboard cross, where competitors pull themselves out of a starting gate and hurtle down a

course of jumps and turns, jostling for position. She has been perfecting starts at a specialist facility at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra and has made great time gains. The discipline requires strength and endurance, and Brockhoff has been powering up sand dunes and lifting weights. Brockhoff is the only openly gay Australian athlete at the Winter Olympics. Olympic spokesman Andrew Reid said her stance for equality and against discrimination was celebrated by most people in 2013. “Anti-gay propaganda laws introduced in Russia this year have caused outrage around the world.

There were initial calls for boycotts and concerns for how openly gay athletes, officials, spectators or media people would be treated,” he said. Brockhoff said she had not considered boycotting her Olympic dream. “The Olympics have always been my dream ever since I was a little girl and picked up my first snowboard. I’ve been training for 10 years for this,” she said. Brockhoff will be in Sochi to snowboard faster than her competitors and not as a pro-gay protester, Mr Reid said. She plans to be an ambassador for gay rights in Australia after the Olympics.

Christmas concert: Silvie Paladino will be performing with Lily and Toby at New Peninsula Church carols.

Paladino at church carols PENINSULA residents can hear the talent of acclaimed singer Silvie Paladino at this year’s New Peninsula Baptist Church carols concert. Ms Paladino is regarded as having one of the best female voices in Australia with a remarkable range that enables her to sing everything from jazz to opera. She is known to audiences around Australia and the United Kingdom through her regular stage and screen appearances, including Les Miserables, Cats, Miss Saigon, Mamma Mia and Chess as well as a regular favourite at Carols by Candlelight.

She will be performing on the peninsula for one night only at the church’s Away in a Manger concert, which will feature a host of peninsula acts. Ms Paladino said she was looking forward to visiting the peninsula for the concert, which she described as a “unique production”. “The peninsula is such a beautiful place, especially at Christmas time. It’s great to be a part of such a unique production; so much love is put into it each year and there’s always something for everyone.” Also performing at the free Christmas event will be eight-year-

old Lily and her 11-year-old brother Toby. “We begin playing with a nativity set and it comes to life and grows full size,” Toby said. “Some of my other toys come to life, too; it’s really funny.” The event will include free children’s activities between shows including face painting, a jumping castle and live music, and a kiosk will serve dinner at a small cost. The concert is from 5-7.30pm on Sunday 15 December at New Peninsula Baptist Church, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

Bikers protest ‘anti-association’ laws MOTORCYCLISTS from the Mornington Peninsula joined about 2000 riders outside Parliament House on Sunday last week to protest tough new laws being introduced in Queensland. Bikers are complaining about heavy-handed treatment from Victoria Police and fear Queensland laws could be introduced in Victoria. Victorian riders congregated at about 10 places, including in the car park of a fast food outlet on Western Port Highway at Skye, before riding into the city for a rally that included speeches by God’s Squad leader Dr John Smith and rebel Catholic priest Father Bob Maguire. “Victorian cops are acting more like they’re in Queensland,” one rider said. In Queensland, one of most controversial parts of the law is the shift of onus onto bikers to prove they’re not part of a criminal gang, instead of the other way around. In October it was announced that Federal and Victorian police had formed a special strike team to target outlaw motorcycle gangs. Premier Denis Napthine said a strong response to bikie gangs was needed. “These gangs are involved in drugs, violence, extortion and standover tactics,” he said. Dr Smith said the state was penalising all bikers for the sins of a few. We just want to show people that we’re not all crooks; there are good people affected by these laws, he said. Rally co-organiser Dale Maggs told The News police were taking anti-bikie actions to extremes. “Police have been harassing riders who belong to social biker clubs,” he said. “Even if you’re riding on your own, police pull you over.” Mr Maggs’s family has been associated with the Cranbourne toy run for 30 years. In October, the Victorian government introduced anti-fortification laws that allow police to obtain court orders to tear down walls, fences and other defences at bikie clubhouses. Mike Hast

Police alarm on power ski hoons WATER police are ramping up patrols on Port Phillip to crack down on “hooning” power skiers, while police on bicycle and foot patrols will target theft and anti-social behaviour on beaches. Police have voiced growing concern at the dangerous behaviour displayed by many operators of high-powered vessels such as power skis – also known as jet skis or personal water craft (PWC) – when around swimmers at otherwise peaceful beaches. Sergeant Mark Greenhill said jet skies were “extremely powerful machines” and that the potential for something to go wrong was high, particularly around swimmers or other recreational boaters. “If you are operating a PWC, remember it is an offence to speed in swimming zones or operate within 50 metres of another vessel,” he said. Sergeant Greenhill said carrying appropriate safety equipment when on the water was essential. “Every year we see boats breaking down or capsizing, and having safety equipment could mean the difference between life and death,” he said. “Last week, we launched an air and sea search after we received a mayday call from a sinking boat. “The sole occupant was very luckily located in the water by a passing fisherman, however without flares or beacons it made him very difficult to spot. “There is simply no room for complacency with safety on the water; life jackets will keep you afloat if something goes wrong, and flares or beacons will make you easily visible.”

Saving lives a world away By Chris Brennan WHEN Rye surf lifesavers Charles Lyne and Robyn Lain learned that 35 children drown every day in Vietnam, they felt compelled to do something to help. With many years of experience saving lives on the Mornington Peninsula as volunteers with Surf Life Saving Australia, the pair set out on a new path four years ago to help bring the skills learned through one Australia’s most respected organisations to the beaches and waterways of Vietnam. Research by the United Nations published in 2012 showed childhood drowning in Vietnam was largely unreported and not recognised as a significant health issue due to the fact it was not recorded in hospital statistics. More disturbingly, the report found the vast majority of drownings were preventable. Not being one to sit back and wait for others to act, Mr Lyne brought together a number of concerned Victorians with either swimming or lifesaving backgrounds and formed not-for-profit company Water Safety Vietnam. All members of WSV are volunteers and contribute because they believe they can make a difference to the lives of people in Vietnam. Over the past four years, 27 volunteer teachers from Australia and seven recruited from Vietnam have joined

the organisation. Since 2011, WSV has trained more than 320 teachers, 102 going on to become fully trained AUSTSWIM teachers. “In 2011 we had one visit, in 2012 we had four visits and in 2013 we sent volunteers five times including covering the Vietnamese school holidays, which is when there is a spike in drowning due to the fact many children are at home or out adventuring during the day when their parents are at work,” Mr Lyne said. “There is an emphasis on training Vietnamese teachers so the knowledge and skills are built up within the Vietnamese community and the program is sustainable.” Four years on, WSV has established a committee of more than 20 people working toward assisting the people of Vietnam to prevent drownings. “As a not-for-profit company, and without any government assistance, we are all responsible for fundraising,” Mr Lyne said. “We have the volunteers willing to go, all we need is funding. “We have taught more than 400 kids to swim and distributed hundreds of pairs of bathers and brought smiles to the faces of many children and parents.” The group’s next fundraiser is a dinner on Saturday 14 December at Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club.

THIS year’s Peninsula Summer Music Festival will see 10 days of performances at a variety of venues, including a church, community theatre, school and vineyards. The 27 December-5 January program ranges from 1930s French jazz to Renaissance woodwind, 17th century-style fandango to works by Telemann and Mozart. More than 50 musicians from Australia, New York, France, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands will perform 26 events under the artistic direction of Julia Fredersdorff. Venues are at Red Hill, Flinders, Moorooduc, Rosebud, Merricks North and Mt Eliza. Highlights include Dido and Aeneas, directed by Kenneth Weiss (USA), starring Fiona Campbell as Dido. The opening concert, A Festive Rackett, features “horticulturally themed” music from Renaissance England with Simon Rickard, Jackie Hansen, Brock Imison and Kirsten Barry playing curtals – the earliest incarnation of the modern bassoon and composed of a single piece of maple wood. On New Year’s Day, the music of 1930s Paris will be played by Hair of the Dog in a concert also featuring B T Baldwin and his band, George Washingmachine.

Ride gets easier for disabled surfers By Keith Platt DISABLED surfers are in for a more comfortable ride when surfing at Point Leo next year. Over winter the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association has been trialling a device that allows surfers to sit rather than lie on the board. Depending on their disability, some of the surfers at DSA events have been lying on their backs while volunteers form a line to the beach in case they wipe out. But the peninsula branch has developed a bead-filled “seat” that allows a disabled surfer to sit up and enjoy the view as they surf toward the shore. Branch treasurer John Bowers credits the idea of using a bead bag to DSA’s Ocean Grove branch president Mark Beshara “who was floating around his pool on an Aqua Duck and reckoned they would be good for participants on event days”. The bead-filled floating seat for swimming pools “proved to be really good; people could float off in them if they wiped out”. However, Mr Bowers said it was soon realised the back rest needed to be higher and the front of the circular bead bag lower. The search to make the surfboard seat functional, comfortable and safe eventually involved sitting one Aqua Duck on top of another and taking beads out of the front section. “The Western Australian DSA group, with the help of the University

of WA, had come up with a chair made of poly tubing that could be attached to a surfboard,” Mr Bowers said. “This was brought up as an idea at [a meeting] at Collaroy in 2012 but was considered dangerous. “Gary Morton [former peninsula branch president] was inspired by the idea of having participants sit up when he changed his piloting position on the board, which allowed participants to sit up and lean back on him while he was sitting up on the board. “I worked with him at our last event earlier this year and saw that his positioning was a real balancing act that few others could manage. Also, he could damage his knees badly and if the board pearled, his weight would be on top of the participant. “With the help of Bill Hallett, who is now our secretary, and Don Ferguson of Solve Disability Solutions and Don’s wife Robin, the new improved Aqua Duck evolved.” Mr Bowers said the seat had been “accepted enthusiastically” at the DSA’s national annual meeting at Queenscliff in August. Sponsorship by Amway saw the marketing company donate enough money for two of the seats to be provided to each of the DSA’s 15 branches. Test pilot: Jenny Goodall-Angliss testing the new surfing seat at Point Leo with a team from the Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch. Picture: Keith Platt

Surf’s up at Point Leo THE Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association has scheduled two events at Point Leo in the new year. The surfing events are increasing in popularity, with hundreds of volunteers helping disabled surfers have an enjoyable and safe time in the surf. Wide-tyred wheelchairs are used on the sand and lines of volunteers stand in the water to make sure the surfers

can be quickly helped if they fall off. Volunteers are asked to bring swimwear, including wetsuits and booties if required, to Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club by 9am on Saturday 18 January and 1pm Saturday 15 March. There will be a free barbecue for participants and volunteers. Register at infodsamp@gmail.com or www. disabledsurfers.org

Police patrols Continued from Page 1

Another arrow in the police quiver is the new BlueNet patrol car with its number place identification camera and computer. It started operating earlier in the month and allows police to check for unregistered cars and unlicensed drivers while the patrol car is on the move. Sergeant Collins said unregistered cars and unlicensed drivers were “over-represented in accident statistics and we want to remove them from the roads”. Operation Summer Stay would see police visually inspecting vehicles and putting unsafe cars off the road. Inspecting vehicles has the backing of Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the peak automotive industry body in Victoria. A spokesman said drivers of vehicles found to be unsafe or unroadworthy being served with defect notices was fully supported by the VACC. “There are more unsafe vehicles on our roads than people realise,” the spokesman said. “Our final vehicle safety figures for the year make disturbing reading. The research shows 40 per cent of vehicles on Victoria’s roads have a defect.” Picture: Gary Sissons

Food advice: Mornington Peninsula Shire’s rural business officer Gillian Stewart, left, the mayor Cr Antonella Celi and Richard Hawkes of Hawkes Potatoes and Farm Store in Boneo.

Group to push peninsula food MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is calling for expressions of interest from individuals and businesses to represent the food industry on a Food Industry Advisory Body. Establishing an advisory group is part of the shire’s “local food strategy”, which aims to promote the peninsula as a “quality, fresh and innovative food region”. The mayor Cr Antonella Celi said an industryled body would “enhance the story, provenance and identity” of the peninsula’s food. Cr Celi said the peninsula was “renowned worldwide” for its wine and there was on “opportunity to raise awareness of the full range of local food and food experiences on offer”. “From a consumer perspective, there is a growing demand to better understand and appreciate the food that is on offer and produced close to home,” she said. “The body will guide, advise and initiate

activities to promote peninsula food in a collective and holistic manner complementary to existing single-industry associations.” Applicants to join the advisory group should “have a willingness and energy to raise awareness about local food systems through advocacy, communication and representation at industry events”. “Ideally, applicants will also have a working knowledge of key elements of the local food supply chain and a direct connection to the peninsula’s food sector as well as have demonstrated success in their industry.” The group is expected to meet at least quarterly and use “electronic mechanisms of communication as required to progress agreed actions”. For more information, contact the shire’s rural business officer, Gillian Stewart, on 5950 1833 or email business@mornpen.vic.gov.au

No go for dog day afternoons By Chris Brennan NEW restrictions on walking dogs in Mornington Peninsula National Park are now in force, with pet owners warned they face hefty fines for breaches. Dogs are prohibited at all times along an additional seven kilometres of coastline between Portsea and Flinders and can only be walked on leashes between sunrise and 9am within a limited number of signposted areas in the national park. Areas where early morning on-leash walking is permitted include a 14km section of coast between Sorrento and Rye, and signposted areas at Portsea surf beach, St Andrews beach and Flinders ocean beach. There are a number of alternative dog walking areas at some Port Phillip beaches as well as public reserves managed by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Rangers have warned the new regulations, introduced in spring, would be strictly enforced and violators would be prosecuted and fined Parks Victoria head ranger Kris Rowe said the restrictions were designed primarily protect wildlife, such as the endangered hooded plover, which is particularly susceptible to dog attacks, as well as to avoid potential conflict with other visitors. “The national park’s primary purpose is to conserve native flora and fauna,” he said. “We’re pleased that

most people are adhering to the new regulations but this is a timely reminder for people as they head out to enjoy the warmer weather. “The standard fine for [breaking the rules] is $289, but recent patrols have resulted in two individuals being fined $1000 and $900 respectively plus costs. “I cannot emphasise enough the importance of reading the signs placed at every formal entry point to the national park. They always provide the correct information to follow.” One group of dog owners more than happy with the new regulations is the Rye-based 16th Beach Dog Walking Group, which has taken a protective stance toward local hooded plover populations The group was “delighted” members would be able to continue social walks on the beach within the specified hours without having a negative impact on hooded plovers. “With the breeding season now in full swing, the group’s members are keen to show that by following beach regulations and having our dogs on their leads and walking at the specified times within the pathway and, once on the beach, walking close to the shoreline, our social activities can progress in harmony along with the native wildlife,” walking group member Brenda Harding said. “We have fought very hard to keep 16th Beach open to dog walkers be-

tween dawn and 9am, and are very thankful to Parks for this. “We only ask that everyone makes a concerted effort to walk their dogs on their leads within the correct hours on the shoreline, and not walk up in the dunes where you would be disturbing the nesting plovers and native fauna. “By doing this, we will all be able to co-exist and we will always be able to walk our dogs on our local back beach.” For detailed information and maps of the areas available for dog walking in Mornington Peninsula National Park, visit www.parks.vic.gov.au or call 13 1963. For advice on alternative dog walking areas outside the national park, visit the shire’s website at www.morn pen.vic.gov.au or call 1300 850 600.

Drumming up support for police cadets YEAR 9 members of Mornington Secondary College’s Police Youth Corps graduated after “reaching the highest level of competency demanded of any dress and drill sergeant, parade commander and reviewing officer”, said Paul Papettas, the school’s Police Youth Corps and Drum Corps coordinator. “Each cadet demonstrated their skills in pattern marching, drumming and ceremonial

protocol and leadership,” he said. “They are a product of a program that prepares them for outstanding citizenship. They are ambassador of the college, Victoria Police and aspire to become future leaders in our community.” Highlights of the ceremony included performances by the cadet flag corps, drum corps and the Victoria Police Pipe Band marching

into the school’s hall while playing Scotland the Brave. The graduating squad was led by Leading Senior Constable Mick Mears and Paul Papettas. The 2013 dux was Summer Bulka. Double time: Mornington Secondary College’s Drum Corps shows off a year’s hard work at the graduation ceremony last Friday. Picture: Yanni

BEST VALUE IN NEW AREA Superb near level ¾ acre allotment in Tyabb. Fully fenced and ready to go. Set in quiet cul-de-sac with tranquil rural views to north aspect which cannot be built out. Best value for money in this new & prestigious area with all services including NBN connection.

PRICE REDUCED We think this is the best block in this quality new development at Tyabb but it hasn’t sold, so for the first time our vendor has reduced the price. The most elevated of all the ¾ acre allotments in this fully serviced quality new area, this property overlooks a pleasant lake with the park across the road and is to have a screen fence erected by neighbour to the north. When the original farmer was looking for a site to build a home this is the spot he chose with a quality outlook. Only 3 left in this area.

PRETTY AS A PICTURE Situated opposite pretty park with lake and plenty of bird life we think this ¾ acre property offers the best outlook to the north and south. Situated on high side of the street with all services available (including NBN connection) it is hard to go past this quality allotment. Northerly aspect cannot be built out as Urban Growth Boundary for the whole of Melbourne runs along the boundary. Fenced on 1 side already with screen fencing to be erected by neighbour the shed next door will not be visible once additional side fence has been erected.

The modern interior projects a feeling of warmth and comfort, with timber floors and a gas stone-effect heater. The open plan living area includes a neat kitchen featuring a stainless-steel under-bench oven and dishwasher, with a recessed space for a large refrigerator. There are three bedrooms that share a family bathroom, while downstairs is a second living area or rumpus room.

Dolphins under scrutiny HASTINGS-based Dolphin Research Institute has started a “citizen science” program to provide a threehour snapshot of the activities of dolphins, birds and seals as well as humans. The initial program is looking at activities in Port Phillip from Mt Eliza to Mt Martha. On Sunday 24 November volunteers worked at the Ranelagh Club in Mt Eliza, Mills Beach and Schnapper Point Lookout in

Cliff watchers: Keeping an eye out for dolphins near Mornington are, from left, Rick Tate, Jasmine Vanderhorst and Jacque Dunn.

Mornington, and Mt Martha Yacht Club. “We had a fleet of special marine binoculars with built-in compasses and sightlines that enable the precise location of sightings,” the institute’s director Jeff Weir said. He said the sighting of dolphins at three of the four sites “validates the methodology and the involvement of volunteers”. Mr Weir said the citizen science program would next year be extended and held on regular days at more locations. For details about joing the dolphin watching program or the institute’s Adopt-A-Dolphin gifts for Christmas plan, call the Dolphin Research Institute on 1300 130 949 or visit www.dolphinresearch.org.au

Williamson’s Managing Carmen, in May, involves an AFL player and Brownlow medallist who is also a cross-dresser. The Melbourne International Comedy Roadshow returns to Frankston in May with Bell Shakespeare theatre company coming

in July with Henry V. Arts centre membership is $30 a person or $60 a couple. Tickets for the 2014 season are available from Monday 9 December. For details about performances and bookings got to www.thefac.com.au or call 9784 1060.

By Mike Hast THE Peninsula Club in Dromana wants to install 18 extra poker machines, up from 20 to 38. The machines, also called electronic gaming machines (EGMs), are not being transferred from other venues in Mornington Peninsula Shire. The club is owned by AFL club the Western Bulldogs, which “saved” the former Dromana-Red Hill RSL subbranch from oblivion in 2010 when it closed in July with debts of $200,000. In September 2010, the Western Bulldogs bought the premises in Noel St for its new Mornington Peninsula base, and has allowed the RSL to hold functions there. The football club said at the time it would spend $1 million on the venue, including doubling the number of poker machines. Peninsula Club will have to provide the shire with a planning application and a socio-economic impact assessment. It is expected a community consultation process will occur. The shire’s consultative committee on gaming – which includes representatives of hotels, a church organisation, lottery products retailers and shire officers – also will have a say about the application. It was told about the application last week, Peninsula Club is one of 17 venues on the peninsula with pokies, including seven on the southern peninsula – two in Dromana, three in Rosebud and two in Rye. In the 2012-13 financial year, gamblers lost $1.17 million at the club. Total losses on the peninsula were $78.9 million, down slightly from the previous year. The News has sought comment from Peninsula Club manager Peter Dern.

Does God Love This World?

“For God so loved the world He gave His Only son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send His son to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already..”.(John 3:16-18 Bible). God loves the world & everything & everyone in it, there is no question of this! No matter what you have done or who you are, God’s loving arms are held open wide for you. He loves you! There is no-one or nothing that God’s love cannot reach to heal, forgive & set free. “For God So loved..”.No-one can love like God does, as He is love, pure, holy, complete. When God says He loves you, then you have available the very favour & acceptance of God almighty. “If God is for you then who can be against you.” I would rather the favour of God than the stamp of approval of any friend or king or prime minister. As God’s word cannot be broken & reaches into eternity. Why did He give His son? God is Holy & sin cannot enter His presence. God Hates sin but loves the sinner. However the sinner if full of sin & must pay the consequences for that sin. “The wages of sin is death/hell, but the gift of God is eternal life”. The punishment for our own actions is far too much for us to bear, so God made a way for us to be pardoned, forgiven, set free from our due penalty which we deserve, by sending Jesus, God’s only loved & begotten son to come & pay the price for us. He took our place as a substitute. He took the punishment that we should rightfully receive for all our wrong, sin, selfishness, pride & greed, adultery, theft, murder & the list goes on & on. Now He offers it as a FREE gift & pardon. All we need to do is believe! Isn’t it time you came to God?

Do You Need a MIRACLE? God is healing ...body, soul & spirit. www.therevival.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Store narrowly avoids fire disaster; Frankston garden in danger Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 December 1913 A SMALL fire, though one which may easily have been a serious conflagration, occurred at the rear of Mr McDonald’s store at Frankston at 4.30 a.m. on Tuesday. It appears that some rubbish was left burning, and during the night this spread to some empty cases, which ignited. Fortunately the blaze was noticed in time, and Mr Cunningham rang the fire bell. The brigade were quickly on the scene, and the fire was soon put out. A large number of cases of kerosene were stacked within a few yards of the fire, and had the flames spread to them the result would have been more serious. *** RESIDENTS of Frankston, as well as visitors to the town, to whom the beautifully kept street gardens have been such a pleasure, will regret to learn that, unless some suitable arrangements can be made, they will most likely deteriorate to what they were before. The pump has broken down; the man who did the pumping has gone away, and difficulty is experienced in getting anyone to take his place. It is too much to expect Mr Reynolds to look after the gardens and pump water too. His position is an honorary one, and has been for two years, and the work he has done in the gardens has been well worthy of substantial remuneration. Unless something is done at once and a proper supply of water kept up, the gardens, and two years’ labor, will be destroyed in a few days.

*** TO allow our staff the usual relaxation during Xmas week, there will be no publication of the Standard next week, December 27th. We take the opportunity of wishing our readers, correspondents, advertisers, and clients generally, a Merry Xmas and a bright and prosperous New Year. *** AN extra attraction in Frankston on New Year’s Day will be the Choral and Orchestral concert in the evening at the Mechanics’ Hall. *** QUITE a buzz of excitement was caused when the band stepped into Bay Street on Tuesday night, playing one of their competition pieces. *** THE Mornington Racing Club will make a profit of about £10 over their recent meeting, and in addition the whip given by Major Campbell and raffled realised nearly £20. *** ON Wednesday night after the Church of England concert, Mr Scarborough was returning home when three young men stuck him up and demanded the door takings. Fortunately he had handed them over before leaving the hall. *** THE committee of the Osborne State School are to be complimented for arranging such an enjoyable programme for the children yesterday. A concert was held in the schoolroom. Luncheon and afternoon tea was provided, and all kinds of games and races were indulged in. Every child received a prize.

*** MR Frank Jolly, of Brisbane (Q.), who will be a competitor in the Sheffield handicap and 220 yards event at the local New Year’s Day sports, last week won his heat and semi-final in the Brachenress (Q.) Sheffield handicap, and in the final ran a dead heat with F. Morris, to whom Jolly conceded 21 yards start. ***

Mr R. Bates, who has been on a tour of Great Britain, returned this week. “Bob’s” many friends were all pleased to see him back again. THE Frankston Brass Band acknowledge with thanks £1 1s, donation to uniform fund from Mr W. Williams, ‘Rupertstan,’ Langwarrin. The band will appear in uniform next Saturday night in Bay Street, and render a programme of musical items. The uniforms lately received have given general satisfaction. We regret to state a large amount is still owing on uniforms. The band hope its admirers will come forward and

Mrs Hawken’s intention to erect a residence on the blocks at an early date. *** THE friends of Mr E. Worrall, of Frankston, will regret to learn of the very serious indisposition of his father, at Albury. Mr Worrall left Frankston on Saturday last, to be at his father’s bedside, and from word received from him he seems to entertain little hope of his father’s recovery. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to him in his trouble. *** AT the last meeting of the Mornington Shire Council, Cr Campbell drew attention to several matters which, he alleged, had been neglected by the Secretary, and he submitted a motion to fix the office hours of the secretary, which was not seconded. Cr Campbell appeared to feel strongly on the matter, and said he would resign, but was persuaded to hold it over for a month. *** HASTINGS Tennis Club visited Frankston on Saturday, 6th inst., and were represented by Rev. C. Eva, Mr Watt, Cr James Hodgins and Mr Alf. Boulter. Owing to the even nature of the play there was not sufficient time to finish the match, but an enjoyable afternoon’s play resulted in a win for Hastings by two games:- Hastings 42 games, Frankston 40 games. Frankston was represented by Rev. G. A. Kitchen, Mr C. Watson, Dr Maxwell and Mr Norman Jackson.

Practice still continues for the A.N.A. competitions in February, and in order to get acquainted with competition work the band will be taking part in the competitions to be held at Beaufort on Boxing Day, each bandsman defraying his own expenses. *** MR Edgar Thornell, of Somerville, has been distinguishing himself in his studies at the Continuation school. He has just secured a scholarship which admits him to continue his studies at Queen’s College at the University. *** FOR a vacancy existing as patron of the Melbourne Home and Mission, Major C. W. Campbell, of Amesfield Park, Frankston, is to be nominated. The Major and Mrs Campbell have always been good loyal friends and supporters of this charitable cause. *** VERY satisfactory entries have been received for most of the events to be run off on New Year’s Day at Frankston, there being 60 for the Sheffield, 39 for the 220 yds handicap, 22 for each of the bike events, and 8 for each of the two chops. The handicaps appear in another column. *** MR S. S. Gault, of Somerville, reports having sold to Mrs Hawken, senr., three blocks of land situated in the centre of the Somerville township at a satisfactory price. It is

Everybody wants to ruler the world By Stuart McCullough ONCE upon a time, there was paper. Using either a pen or pencil, it was customary to write on sheets of paper in order to communicate with others. This was before the computer made the art of handwriting almost wholly redundant. Back then, a tweet was something you wrote down, put in an envelope and mailed to another person. Several weeks later, you might receive a response to your written missive. Granted, it was painstakingly slow, but the world was a better place for it. It was an era when it was okay not to know what Lady Gaga had for breakfast and Shane Warne’s thoughts on almost everything remained his alone. It was, in other words, a paradise. In primary school, the first task of the day was always to copy down whatever the teacher had written on the blackboard. I often wish I had paid more notice. Even then I found copying down someone else’s work tiresome and really didn’t give the task my full attention. As a result, my attempts to transcribe the day’s date resembled an ant that had been dipped in ink and sent on a one-way trek. If only I’d paid more attention, I feel my handwriting could have been better. We were only allowed to write in printed script. At that time, cursive script was regarded with awe as something that only grownups were allowed to do. Our teachers argued that printing was easier to read and that I was just the exception to the rule. But it wasn’t only my handwriting that left much to be desired – my style of presentation more broadly meant I was doomed to fail. We would write in exercise books, with a different book for each subject. But before a single letter was added to the page, there was the matter of ruling a border. There were many ways to go about this seemingly simply preparatory task. Perhaps inevitably, I took the most direct and least imaginative approach possible: I placed my ruler to the left of the page and drew a red line down the side. For me, it was something I had to get out of the way before getting on with the real business of school. Others, however, spent more time preparing their borders than they did on their actual class work. They too began with a simple line. Then they broke out the big guns. I only ever had regular pens, but some of my classmates were lucky enough to own the Titanic of biros – the four-in-one pen. A simple click of a button was all it took to transport you away from everyday blue ink to something as full-on exotic as green. Truth is, green ink serves very little practical purpose and exists largely for decorative

purposes. From a simple border would spring decorative patterns and flowers that made my pages seem impossibly dull. By lesson’s end, the paper would be so heavily inked that it looked like a Comanchero. Their borders were, frankly, bordering on the ridiculous. As you go through school, your relationship to your stationery begins to change. A ruler is no longer something with which to create a very dull and uninspired border. It becomes the site on which you declare your allegiances to particular bands or, if you were particularly bold, another person. Before people announced their relationship status to the world through Facebook, they used to do it on either the ruler or pencil case. In the event that the relationship ended, of course, this would cause all manner of awkwardness, requiring either that the name be blotted out or turned into something else. Much as when people are forced to remove one of their “My Family” stickers, the results were always far from perfect. But rulers were more than just mere billboards. In the schoolyard, there were many ways in which you could settle your differences, but rulers were the weapon of choice for discerning students. There were other options, though. I lived in fear that, one day, a fellow student would issue an invitation to meet behind the shelter shed. I would avoid these confrontations, even though I knew it meant being called “chicken”. Some students preferred the brutality of the compass, but the device was eventually banished, ensuring an entire generation would be useless when it came to drawing a curved line. A ruler, however, was always to hand. It was as simple as it was cruel. All you had to do was hold out your ruler and allow someone else to use theirs to strike it as hard as they could. The object was to split your opponent’s weapon, rendering it useless. Moving your ruler out of the way at the last second was the best way to avoid a strike but was strictly prohibited. Any deviation at all would result in the other person getting a free go. The sound of splintering wood was the sound of defeat. It’s been years since I owned a ruler. The need to put a border on anything simply doesn’t arise. Soon, paper too will be a thing of the past. Even now, I regularly receive emails that invite me to think about the environment before printing it. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to sit quietly and observe a minute’s silence or just feel guilty that I’ve accidentally printed 87 copies rather than the one I needed. If I’m caught, I fear receiving an email invite to meet behind the shelter shed. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance GRINSPOON, one of Australia’s favourite rock bands, announced a hiatus before their final show for 2013. Seven albums, 13 ARIA nominations, over half a million records sold and a back catalogue that is etched into Aussie rock history. They’re one of our best-loved and most enduring bands. With well over 1,000 shows, six consecutive Top 10 albums and multiplatinum sales across an amazing 18year career, it’s fair to say Grinspoon have earned some time off. And so the band wishes to announce that they’re taking a long-term, indefinite break, with founding members Phil Jamieson, Pat Davern, Joe Hansen and Kristian Hopes going on a hiatus to pursue individual projects for the forseeable future. www.grinspoon.com.au *** AUSTRALIA’S number one party musical Grease arrives at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne on 2 January after electrifying sell-out seasons in Brisbane and Sydney. Due to huge demand, new tickets will go on sale on December 2 for performances from March 1-16, 2014. The high-energy, smash hit musical has taken Australia by storm and includes such unforgettable songs as You’re The One That I Want, Grease Is The Word, Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted To You, Sandy, Greased Lightnin’ and many more. Leading the all-star cast in the iconic roles of Danny and Sandy are born entertainer Rob Mills and rising star Gretel Scarlett. Bert Newton returns to his radio roots to play the role of slick veteran disc jockey Vince Fontaine, while Todd McKenney dusts off his dancing shoes to star as Teen Angel. The role of All-American, rockstar student at Rydell High, Johnny Casino, is played by Anthony Callea, and television and stage veteran Val Lehman returns to musical theatre

to play tough school principal Miss Lynch. Producer John Frost said: “Rarely have I seen audience reaction like the one we get every night for Grease, with everyone in the aisles dancing and singing along. Grease truly is the number one party musical. Book fast

Melbourne to see Rob, Gretel, Todd, Bert and the gang on stage.” Grease in on at Her Majesty’s Theatre from January 2. Nightly shows with matinees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets 1300 795 012. www.greaseistheword.com.au ***

indecent pleasures? A five-star hotel in Paris; you can guess the rest? The grief period lasts a year or two, returning for short spells on anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas and (for males) when washing clothes, shopping, cooking and cleaning. I’m no psychologist so I can only give my opinion: Certain attitudes are necessities to maintain a reasonable quality of life. Keeping busy obviously, living in the moment, dismissing thoughts of past or future worries (google, ASIO, early inheritance syndrome), keeping in touch with family and friends, talking, listening, laughing, walking and giving time to recording past happy memories, if any. Keep clear of sex, difficult but dangerous. Perhaps give away the cigarettes? *** WHY do so many people patronize we older people? Sometimes I get this urge to pay out on them but refrain owing to the fact of being a useless fist fighter. I only won the once, at the Preston Town Hall after a dance. I hit him and down he went; victory. Whacko the diddle-o. To use Julia’s words: “You have the right to an environment that treats you with respect as an equal and raising your voice about that is not starting a war or playing the victim. You’re just asking for what is simply right”. Yea Julia. Julia who? Outgoing Peninsula Mayor Lyn Bowden supported the positive age-

ing strategy and the scooter recharge scheme. Good girl Lyn. Oh, the Preston fellow was drunk of course, but you guessed that. *** FRENCHMAN John Lerius spent a year in Brazil around 1557. On arrival, he discovered all the men and woman were nude. Considering the beauty of the Brazilian females generally one would think lust would rear its leering head, as indeed Lerius considered, but his efforts to convince them to hide their privates was unsuccessful. He eventually concluded nakedness did less to entice lasciviousness than women’s clothes and accoutrements, coupled with sparkling eyes and effective carriage. No mention of a nice bottom? *** SUPERANNUATION is the goldmine of our time. It conjures up images of hundreds of various types called various directorial names (unions and businesses) salivating on super funds – $2 trillion and ever upwards. We are regularly informed of a review which, as far as I can see, amounts to keeping the whole massive enterprise vague and hidden from our concern. On the law of averages there lies within many crooks sifting out fees under various titles into their greedy pockets. Superannuation governance, mandatory standards, conflict of interest; be-

ONE of the most influential comedians in entertainment history, John Cleese, is a founding member of Monty Python and responsible for some of the most iconic films and television comedies ever made, including The Life of Brian, Meaning of Life and Fawlty Towers. Cleese also starred in such major Hollywood hits as A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures. Cleese will head in Melbourne to appear at the Comedy Theatreon 18-19 March. Cleese will regale fans with stories and exclusive clips from his illustrious 40-year career. It’s an opportunity to get up close and personal with a true living legend. Cleese, a force behind some of the most ground-breaking comedy of the 20th Century will perform shows in Tasmania, Melbourne and Sydney. His last national tour in 2012 was a total sell out and this encore tour will be prior to the recently announced Monty Python reunion in London in July. His distinctive English accent has been put to good use on several animated children’s films, voicing King Harold in Shrek 2, Shrek The Third, and Shrek Forever After and Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone; and of course the ever memorable television series Fawlty Towers. Few comedy troupes have reached the same fame of Monty Python, and a large part of that success was due to John Cleese and his impeccable timing and sense of humour. Cleese has mastered everything from dry wit to slapstick humour, making his type of humour one that everyone can enjoy. He is the master comedian and admired and respected by everyone. www.johncleese.com or www.abpresents.com.au *** SINGER/songwriter Aleyce Simmonds (pictured) is among the finalists in the Female Artist of the

By Gary Turner Year category of the 2014 CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia. The announcement, made at Sydney’s Hard Rock Cafe last month, follows news that Believe the title track and first single from Aleyce’s second full-length album, hits the Australian Country Tracks Top 30 and CMC Top 50 countdown. “I feel like I’m caught in a whirlwind”, Simmonds said. “It has been a crazy year recording and releasing an album whilst touring so constantly. This nomination means a real lot to me. I can’t wait to stand still long enough to breathe and take it all in!” Simmonds will appear at the Peninsula Music Festival, Morning Star Estate, Sunday January 12th. www.aleyce.com *** SHOCK Entertainment has released a special Jamie Oliver six DVD box set for Christmas.

A Grain of Salt THE big day is again almost upon us. Time to balance the anticipation. A free meal at Portsea, drinking restrictions and an expected behavioural attitude to be “nice”. Perhaps 150 minutes, two stubbies; sounds about right. No politics a big plus, a rest from supercilious Christopher Pyne and my general state of melancholy from both sides of politics. The holiday hordes, pleasant, atmospheric, hell at night. The little nippers on parade; kids, dogs, multiculturalism and the long hot summer; remain inside mostly after 11am, maybe venture out to the Peninsular Summer Music Festival; a drive past the Butterfly House, Dromana, catch a glimpse of Hannie Rayson. A writer-in residence? Nah, too far from the RSL. Way back, 1944, three hours at the Northcote Baths. Or 1974 at home with darling and the chaos of visitors. I did time in the public service, a month of parties; ham, seafood and females, a dangerous mix. The verdict? Even Steven, or perhaps a nostril on the good side. After all, I’m still here right, just? *** LIVING alone is a work in process for oldies who have lost a partner, with Waiting for Godot snuggled in the backblocks of the mind but easily accessed. We wish for a comfortable finale, a powerball windfall to indulge my

yond taxation, beyond accountability? The Australian Securities Investment Commission decided years ago the disclosure of fees was not necessary? Funds manager Chris Brycki says half the investment returns by Aussie savers hve been lost in management fees; ditto superannuation. Crooks all. *** AGE can catch up if you’re not careful. A cold windy morning. The milk is boiling for Vita Brits and I step outside to get the two plastic wrapped deliveries of the Saturday Age. Bugger; only the one? Five minutes of searching failed. Down the driveway to the newsagency and I remember the milk? Rush back, too late, the stove a mess. Back out I go, halfway there when it hit me. It’s Friday! *** YET another push circulating for a swimming pool at Rosebud; fast becoming a War and Peace situation. I’m for a pool on the Rye foreshore and permanent bye byes to the dreaded carnival. It will never come to pass in my lifetime and I would not be swimming in it anyway, but for families and holidaymakers, it’s surely a winner. Wasn’t this part of Nepean MP, Minister for Education Martin Dixon’s platform at the last election? Many believe the bay provides a safe spot for swimmers of all ages but the safety of a supervised pool along the foreshore provides an attractive alternative for those who are freaked out

By Cliff Ellen by sand. I’m advised of Rosebud having a dangerously high incidence of homeless kids; maybe do something about this sad problem first minister? Just a thought. *** AFTER a break of 10 years, I watched 60 Minutes on Channel Nine; missed nothing... Andrew Bolt says Tony Abbott is articulate and Tania Plibersek “spiteful” – hilarious... A strong rumour Collingwood footballers will be required to wear a collar and tie on and off the field during 2014. Perhaps they got rid of the wrong “culture”?... It could be worse: Darryn Lyons as mayor? Thank God he didn’t choose us... Aussies win the test; back to unbearable egoists... In sympathy with ABC salaries disclosures, I’ll declare mine: $21,000... Many of the words said or printed before the word “but” are poppycock... “Poverty palls the most generous spirits; it cows industry, and casts resolution itself into despair.” [Addison] ... hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com www.ello8.com

Doggies’ domination continues PROVINCIAL By IT Gully MORNINGTON continued its domination of the MPCA Provincial competition when it took Moorooduc’s bowlers to the cleaners on Saturday. The Doggies are in red hot form at the minute and it was no surprise that they batted after winning the toss. With conditions perfect at Moorooduc Reserve, Mornington openers Anthony Gapes and skipper Matt Foon put on 67 before Gapes lost his wicket for 26. Foon went on to make 61 and Ben Clements, who came in at number three, top scored with 83. Jake Pankhurst made 30 and Luke Popov blasted five fours and a six on his way to a half century. The Dogs finished their 80 overs at 6/288, which isn’t a huge score at

Moorooduc Reserve. However, with the bowling line-up it has, 288 is more than defendable for the best side in the Provincial caper at present. Michael Whincup was the pick of the bowlers for the Ducs, bowling 28 overs for 2/107. Long Island is just eight runs away from victory against Mt Martha. The Islanders won the toss and wanted to have a crack at the Mt Martha bats. Things started OK for the Reds but soon fell apart, losing 6/8 as Andrew Tweddle and Scott Phillips tore through the top order. Keeper-batsman James Walker was able to prevent further carnage when he made 23. He was well supported by Tim Bateman (19). Kade Bendle also contributed 14 at the top of the order. Mt Martha was bowled out for 75 in 51 overs, Tweedle claiming 5/10

from 14 overs and Phillips 4/30 from 21 overs. The Islanders had to face the last 21 overs for the day and obviously, sensing an outright opportunity, were looking for quick runs. Mt Martha’s bowlers were tight and determined and claimed the first three wickets for just four runs. Paul Hartle, Aaron Paxton and Peter Connell were all sent packing early, before Phillips was removed. At one stage, the Islanders were 4/15. They recovered thanks to Justin Bridgeman (30no) and Fergus O’Connor (19no) to be 4/67 heading into day two. Mt Eliza is in the box seat against Heatherhill after making 297. Luke Marshall was the star of Provincial cricket for the day, coming in with his side struggling at 4/52 and blasting 113. He made 90-odd in round two. Along with Jason Mathers (84),

Marshall was able to push the score to 242 before Mathers lost his wicket. Lyle House then blasted 24 to help his side to 297. Brett Maxwell was the best of the Heatherhill bowlers with 4/88 from 20 overs. In reply, the Hills are 0/16. The match between Langwarrin and Sorrento is in the balance after the first day’s play at David McFarlin Reserve. It is an important game for the Kangas, who were shown-up against Mornington in their last match. They need to perform well against the best in the business to gain the credibility they are looking for. The Kangas won the toss and batted, however quickly went from 0/47 to 3/47. While no Kangaroo went on to post a big score, a number contributed with the bat, including Simon McEvoy (30), Andy Johnson (37),

Mark Cooper (24), Michael Edwards (34), Mal Coutts (20) and Nathan Volpe (30). The reigning District champions were without leading run-scorer Danny Weare. CJ King was the best of the Sorrento bowlers with four wickets, while Mick Dunball and AJ King snared a couple each. In reply, Sorrento is 1/1, with Jedd Flack in the sheds. Peninsula Old Boys will need to bowl well to defend the 206 they made against Crib Point. Glenn Prendergast top scored for the Old Boys with an unbeaten 50 while John Forrest chipped in with 30. It was a good afternoon for the Pies with the ball with Brad Davidson getting 3/47, Henry Dolphin 3/60 and Luke Herrington 2/21.

Main Ridge in red-hot form DISTRICT By IT Gully MAIN Ridge is in red hot form at the moment and it continued on Saturday against Seaford in tound six of District cricket. The Ridge won the toss at Seaford Reserve and sent the home side into bat. It proved to be an educated decision by the Ridge skipper and match-day hero Brendan Rossborough, who watched his bowlers tear through the top and lower order of Seaford. While Ben Lawrence (36) performed well at the top of the order in his first senior XI game this season and

PAGE 56

Mathew Herbert contributed 21, the day belonged to the Ridge. Seaford was bowled out for 110 in 54.2 overs. Jason Albress bowled 8.2 overs for a return of 4/25, while James Abbott snared 3/27 from 15 overs. Batting the last 25 overs for the day, what unfolded next was simply superb. The Ridge were looking for quick runs and they got them in the form of Rossborough, who smashed an unbeaten 101. This was on the back of the 64 he made in his last innings. Up the other end, Michael Holmes (20no) watched in amazement. At stumps, the Ridge were 2/147, a lead of 37 with 80 overs to play.

Mornington News 10 December 2013

The match between Delacombe Park and Pines is going to be a nailbiter. The Parkers batted first on their home deck on Saturday and could muster only 115 from 53.2 overs. Andrew Christides got 22 and James Spencer 24. Nick Wilcox was at his damaging best with the ball, claiming five wickets, while Ricky Ramsdale picked up four scalps. The Parkers’ bowlers needed to produce something big with the ball to stay in the game. They delivered. Chris Brittain snared 4/25 and Shane Deal took 2/4 to have the Piners reeling at 6/75 in reply.

Flinders has given itself every opportunity to win its match against Somerville after scoring 8/234 on Saturday. Shane Beggs showed some of his best work with 41 while Tommy Clements (40) and brother Robbie Clements (36) offered some real resistance. Early wickets are the key for Flinders on day two. Boneo and Hastings are locked in a real battle. Boneo batted first on Saturday and made 209, Leigh Lowry top scoring with 77. Luke Hewitt is having an outstanding season for the Blues and helped himself to 4/68, while Isuru

Dias picked-up 3/42. In reply, the Blues are 2/40. Carrum declared its first innings at 8/194 against Ballam Park and has the opposition at 1/3 overnight. Shaun Foster top-scored for the Lions with 92 and Josh Dent hit 33. In the final game of the round, Baden Powell has plenty of work to do against Seaford Tigers. The Braves batted first on Saturday and were rolled for just 149. Elia Carter top-scored with 29 and Sam Mullavey hit 28. Jordan Watters was at his best for the Tigers with 3/29. In reply, the Tigers are 0/13.

By IT Gully THE Sub District juggernaut that is Red Hill continues to rattle the cages of the opposition. This time it was Carrum Downs on the receiving end of the punishment. Red Hill may have started the season a little shaky and inconsistent, however, the cricket the team is playing now is inspired. The Hillmen won the toss on Saturday and elected to send the Cougars into bat. The decision paid dividends, with the home side rolling the visitors for just 78 in 33 overs. Glenn Collett was brilliant, bowling 16 overs and finishing with six maidens and a return of 6/30. Jimmy McCall and Ross Corfield claimed 2/2 and 2/8 respectively. The Hillmen then hit a quickfire 7/138 in 30 overs, with Owen McKillop top-scoring with 40 and Rheede Hopgood making an impression in his first senior XI game with 39. Red Hill then had the last 37 overs of the day to try and make some inroads into an outright win. They succeeded, Ross Corfield claiming another couple of wickets (2/3) to have the Cougars in trouble at 3/38, still 22 runs behind the Hillmen. Brad Trotter enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at the crease for Pearcedale

on Saturday, playing away to Dromana. Opening the batting, Trotter made 100 for the Panthers, while Kaine Smith (51) batted at seven and helped the opener get to three figures. At one stage, the Panthers were 5/92. Smith and Trotter then took the score to 215. Zac Clan picked up five wickets for the Hoppers while Andrew Thompson snared four scalps, including that of Trotter. Skye has set Rosebud a big total of 252 to chase down for victory. A number of Skye batsmen got starts at Rosebud Reserve, keeper Rob Gruar the best of them with 47. Rosebud dominated the early part of the day, taking 5/82. However, Stephen Smart (40) and Paul Fillipone (47) worked with Gruar to set the Buds a more-than-reasonable score to chase. Darren Kerr bowled a staggering 40 overs for the Buds for a return of 4/125 (including 10 maidens), while Brad Glenn picked-up 2/33 in only his second spell for the year. Balnarring looks to be in the box seat against Frankston YCW after setting the home side 286 for victory, while Tyabb and Tootgarook are locked in an intriguing battle. The Yabbies batted first and scrambled to 181. In reply, the Tooters are in some early trouble at 2/34.

EPA crackdown on littering

Surviving heatwaves

The summer litter campaign is a statewide initiative running till the Labour Day weekend in March. It includes a digital strategy and radio advertising. Mr Merritt said a number of key actions were being rolled out as part of the state government’s Cleaner Yarra and Bay Action plan, including a new water quality website – cleaneryarrabay.vic.gov.au – the start of the Beach Report and YarraWatch season, and a new partnership with Life Saving Victoria to display forecasting signs on nine Port Phillip beaches. Environment Minister Ryan Smith said people would have information about “two of our most beautiful natural assets, Port Phillip and the Yarra River, at their fingertips”. “Information is power – each and every one of us plays a part in protecting these areas through something as simple as reporting litter,” he said. To report litter, visit www.epa.vic. gov.au/reportlitter or call 1300 EPA VIC (1300 372 842).

CIGARETTE butts will be a focus of the Environment Protection Authority’s summer litter campaign. The agency said about 25 bushfires every year were started by discarded butts in Victorian parks and forests. EPA chief John Merritt said more than 90 per cent of $3.5 million in fines issued for littering this year were for butts thrown from cars. At the launch of the agency’s litter reporting site for mobile phones last week, Mr Merritt said a crackdown on litterers would continue over summer as fire danger reached its peak. “About 90 per cent of EPA litter fines are for cigarette butts thrown from cars, and make up about 50 per cent of litter generated in Victoria,” he said. “People caught littering from cars will face hefty fines, including a maximum penalty of $577 for flicking a lit cigarette.” He said more than 50,000 Victorians had “signed up to report litter”. “The mobile phone website for litter reporting will make that process even easier.”

Litter patrol: Mornington Environment Association president Jan Oliver, left, and Mornington resident Cornelia Szeszeran, who collects rubbish on Mills Beach most days of the week, with trash collected on the beach during winter. The EPA has launched a new campaign including an anti-litter website that can be accessed from mobile phones. Picture: Yanni

HEAT-related illness can affect anyone but older people, people with a disability or chronic illness, babies and pregnant or nursing mothers are at higher risk, says Mornington Peninsula Shire’s manager of aged and disability services Jenny van Riel. Ms van Riel said that in the leadup to the hotter weeks of summer, practical tips to prevent heat-related illness included:  Check on older, sick and frail people during a heatwave.  Never leave anyone in a closed, parked car.  Drink plenty of water and nonalcoholic fluids. If your doctor normally limits your fluids or you are on fluid tablets, check with a doctor about how much to drink during hot weather.  Limit or avoid alcoholic drinks.  Stay indoors, if possible in an airconditioned room or in the shade.  Use external blinds to shade your home.  Take a cool shower or bath or drape a wet towel over yourself.  Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.  Reduce physical activity.  Know the signs and symptoms of excessive heat exposure – cramps, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and fainting. For more information, contact the shire’s aged and disability services on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000, Nurse on Call 1300 60 60 24 or visit www.health.vic.gov.au/environment/ heatwaves.htm

Peninsula at risk of grassfires: CFA MORNINGTON Peninsula residents living in rural areas and in towns near bushland and paddocks are at risk of fire over summer, says the Country Fire Authority. The CFA cited a fire in the northern suburbs of Melbourne last February when warning residents not to become complacent. Grassfires can threaten homes and lives, a CFA spokesman said. The fire burnt 2040 hectares, destroyed a house, nine sheds, farm machinery, 3000 hay bales and fences in just a few hours. “Under the right conditions, a fire can cause significant damage in a short amount of time. So many people still think it won’t happen to them, but grassfire risk is very real in urban interface areas like the Mornington Peninsula, and residents need to plan accordingly,” the spokesman said. “Anyone living in an urban or rural grassland area holds the responsibility of knowing the risks they face and should be preparing now. You need to clear weeds, sticks and leaves, and remove firewood, rubbish and other fuel from around your property. “The risk posed by grassfires can be quite different to a bushfire. Sheltering in your home or moving one street back from the fire can sometimes be the safest option. “Either way, you need to plan what you’ll do now, ahead of the summer fire season. “Residents attempting to leave and blocking roads becomes a huge issue for emergency services. Avoid driving near a grassfire because it may be smoky and hard to see, and traffic jams and accidents are likely. Residents also need to know where to find vital information about fire emergencies, such as the CFA website, Victorian Bushfire Information Line, the FireReady App and emergency broadcasters such as ABC radio. For more information, visit www.cfa.vic.gov.au Mornington Peninsula Shire also has information on its website at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au Picture: Yanni

Staying safe on the water in summer AS summer heats up, Parks Victoria is asking recreational boat operators to stay safe on Port Phillip and Western Port. “Port Phillip and Western Port are great destinations for people looking to get out and enjoy the great outdoors over the summer holidays,” Parks Victoria chief ranger Graeme Davis said. “Vessel operators are responsible for their own safety as well as the safety of passengers. Conditions can change rapidly so it’s important to be prepared and abide by the regulations, which exist to ensure everyone on the water has a safe and enjoyable experience.” A boat operator should always:  Check the latest conditions before leaving, including weather forecasts, tide predictions and warnings.  Slow down to 5 knots or less within 50 metres of a swimmer, diver or structure.  Observe all speed limits and boating zones including 5 knot speed zones within 200 metres of shore.  Never mix alcohol with operating a vessel. Operators must have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of less than 0.05, the same as when driving a car.  Ensure all people on your vessel are wearing an approved lifejacket or buoyancy vest.  Know the local rules, regulations and distress signals. This includes marine national park and sanctuary boundaries and restrictions.  Keep well clear of moving ships and maintain a safe distance between other vessels.

 Call 000 in an emergency, channel 88 on 27MHz or channel 16 on VHF radio to alert police and emergency services. Mr Davis said boating rules applied to all boat operators including motor boats, sail boats, yachts, canoes, personal water crafts (power skis), kite boards, sailboards and kayaks. “Parks Victoria and the water police

will be patrolling Port Phillip and Western Port throughout summer to ensure boat operators are being responsible and abiding by safety regulations,” he said. Parks Victoria has nearly finished marking boating and swimming zones between Elwood and Mt Martha to improve water safety. The zones from Mt Martha to Blairgowrie, the

HOMES

northern coastline of Phillip Island, and from Elwood to Werribee South have been upgraded in stages over the past three years. A full safety checklist is in Port Phillip and Western Port recreational boating guides, which are available free of charge by calling Parks Victoria’s information centre on 13 1963 or go to www.parks.vic.gov.au

Check the car before summer holidays BEFORE the holidays and a road trip to a favourite beach or inland destination, a pre-summer check of the car should be a priority. The RACV’s website states the most common problem affecting motorists during summer is an overheated engine, but a few simple checks can reduce the risk of being stranded. The pre-summer checklist should include not only the radiator and cooling system, but also the electrical system, brakes and tyres, plus an overall “spring clean”. Cooling system Top up your radiator coolant to the required level, taking care to add the correct amount of coolant mixture as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Check all radiator hoses (including heater hoses) for firmness, replace any that are spongy or leaking, and keep spares of the main hoses and belts in the boot for emergencies. The fan belt and any other drive belts, such as for air-conditioning or power steering, need to be inspected thoroughly – for fraying and correct tension – so they do not slip. Any belts that are even slightly frayed should be replaced. Electrical Batteries manufactured nowadays are maintenance-free but check the water level and top them up if necessary. Use distilled water – never use tap water as it will harm the battery. Routine maintenance should include removing any corrosion from battery terminals, which can then be

smeared with petroleum jelly to slow the corrosion process. An added precaution is to wipe the high-tension leads, sparkplugs and distributor cap with a dry cloth. Tyres All tyres, including the spare, must be properly inflated to cope with the demands of long trips and hot weather. Check the pressures when the tyres are cold. Recommended tyre pressures are printed on a sticker affixed to most

cars. Tread depth should not be less than a match head. Many tyres now have tread wear indicators to remove the guesswork. Uneven wearing of tyres may indicate a fault with the steering, suspension or wheel alignment, and these items should be checked if in doubt. Brakes Consult a brake specialist if the car has a tendency to pull to one side when braking, if the brake pedal goes too close to the floor or has any other

symptoms that seem unusual. Check the hand brake as well – park the car on a hill, put it in neutral and, if it does not hold firm on the handbrake, have it checked and adjusted. Clean lights and windows Car windows should always be kept clean, as dirty glass can drastically reduce the driver’s vision when heading towards oncoming headlights or a low sun. Dirt increases the effect of glare. Exterior dirt is easy to wash off,

but it can be a constant battle to keep the inside of the glass free from the hazy film that builds up when a car is parked in the sun. The “haze” can usually be wiped off with a chamois, methylated spirits or most domestic glass or general cleaners, but there is no magic formula to eliminate the problem altogether. For good visbllity, keep the windscreen washer bottle topped up, and clean all lights and lenses.
