Gliders moved out as broadband rolls in Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au HAVING fast internet speeds at home is not good news for everyone, especially if you are a sugar glider in Mt Eliza. Inspections made before the rollout of NBN cabling at Mt Eliza have revealed families of sugar gliders living in Telstra’s underground pits. Wildlife experts believe the small nocturnal marsupials have been forced to seek emergency accommodation because of a lack of suitable hollows in trees. The sociable sugar gliders generally sleep in family groups and have found direct access into the plastic-lined pits through white conduit running down power poles. The problem facing the sugar gliders is that their adopted underground homes are being extensively modified to accommodate NBN cabling, which could also be sensitive to being chewed by half-slumbering marsupials. Wildlife carers are already looking after some of the soon-to-be relocated sugar glider families and are urging property owners to install nesting boxes in trees as a more natural alternative to the pits needed for cabling. “We were told about some sugar gliders using a Telstra pit in Two Bays Rd about two years ago, but always thought it was a one-off, a freak,” Edwina Muir of AWARE (Australian Wildlife Assistance Rescue and Education) said. But that notion quickly changed in December when an employee of NBN subcontractor Cogar called to report finding more “underground” sugar glider families in Fulton Rd, Allambi Court and Sunset Crescent. Mt Eliza’s sugar glider population is more numerous and widespread than previously thought. A check by members of AWARE found one of the pits was empty, but the discovery of underground glider

families has sparked a concerted effort to find alternative homes for the opportunistic animals. Peninsula wildlife expert Malcolm Legg told The News he had “never come across anything like this before”. “These guys need nesting boxes and urgent relocation as the broadband cables are being rolled out and taking up the sugar glider homes,” Mr Legg said. Ms Muir said two sugar gliders had been rescued after being trapped in conduit that ran down a power pole to the ground but did not connect to a Telstra pit. “A passing dog walker spotted a sugar glider’s head poking out from the one-inch [2.5cm] gap between the conduit and the ground. He scraped away the earth to get it out and found
another one behind it,” Ms Muir said. “Unfortunately, one died but the other is still in our care.” She said the underground gliders presented “an interesting situation of adaptation and I feel this is just the start [of what will be found]”. “Our initial investigation leads us to believe a multitude of other such family units exist underground throughout Mt Eliza and that as the NBN is rolled out, they will also require re-homing.” Ms Muir said Mornington Peninsula Shire and the NBN Co would be asked to help provide property owners with nesting boxes. Meanwhile, a seven-member sugar glider family is being cared for at an AWARE shelter near Balnarring before being released back into the rela-

tive wilds of suburban Mt Eliza. “The old growth tree hollows they require for nesting sites are in very short supply and competition for them by various bird, bat and possum species is fierce,” Ms Muir said. “Simply placing nesting boxes in trees will not work as the sugar gliders take a week or so to find and move into a new home. “Also, glider young spend about 70 days in the pouch before being left in the nest, so these creched young would not be transported by the adult glider to the new tree nesting box.” She said sugar glider families could die “without a carefully considered and timely re-homing plan”. The urgency to find and then rehouse sugar glider families in Mt Eliza is underlined by NBN wanting to roll
out its cables to 80 per cent of the suburb in the next three months. “Just driving around Mt Eliza I have seen that many telegraph poles in each street have white conduit leading into a Telstra pit, so potentially there could be very large numbers of affected glider families,” Ms Muir said. “The gliders need to be caught, brought into care for up to a week, then re-homed back in [the same] location.” Ms Muir said permission would be sought from property owners near Telstra pits housing sugar glider families for nesting boxes to be placed in their trees. “We have proved we can catch the sugar gliders at one pit and we will commence catching gliders at the other identified pits.”

Healthy tale with inner city plot
Taste tempters: Author Victoria Breheny, left, and Illustrator Jemma Phillips have created a book designed to inspire children to get involved in growing their own fresh foods. Picture: Yanni
NATUROPATH and herbal medicine practitioner Tory Breheny has written a book to bring home the message to the younger generation that gardens can be more than flowers and trees. “Gardens are the perfect learning environment for our children,” she says. “They really are nature’s pharmacy. Not only do gardens sustain us with delicious and healthy food, they are a source of tried and tested natural remedies for everyday ailments. “Our parents, grandparents and elderly neighbours can be a library of practical and traditional knowledge about plants and herbs for a healthy life. Let’s not lose that vital source of information before it’s too late.” Breheny, of Mt Eliza, describes her book, The Incredible Edible Garden, as a “magical tale” about Annie, a young girl who lives in an inner city apartment surrounded by grey buildings. “When Annie comes across a walled garden filled with lush grass, fruits, vegetables and chickens she meets Rosemary, who teaches her about the healing powers of nature. Soon Annie’s whole family is involved in creating their own rooftop garden – and learning to relax.” Inspired by her own children and a belief that life should be enjoyed with health, vitality, enthusiasm and hope, Breheny says she wants to give young readers a taste of a future “where everyone knows that the natural world around them is where they can find healing and health”. “Imagine a time when, instead of reaching for the paracetamol for a headache, we grab our scissors and head out to the garden to create a
Credit option for launching
natural remedy. Mother Nature has just about every recipe for health we need.” Breheny says she was determined to get the book finished despite running her Mt Eliza naturopathy practice. “I would even be writing while parked in the car during school pick up time,” she says. The illustrations in her book are by Jemma Phillips, a Somerville-based artist and children’s nanny. When Breheny came across Jemma’s water colour paintings at Mt Eliza Primary School’s Christmas Fair she knew “instantly” they would bring her story to life. “I am originally from England so I pictured the garden as a typical cottage garden, colourful and overgrown. For the cityscape I wanted to capture just how grey a city can be. Tory loved these ideas as they fitted her words so well,” Phillips said. Breheny said several Mornington Peninsula kindergartens were planning “incredible edible garden picnics as a fun learning activity” while she explores other ways of sharing the book’s health and healing messages with schools. She also urges people to plant their own edible gardens. “It doesn’t need to be huge or cost lots of money. All you need is sunlight, water and good quality soil. Start with a vegetable plot or just a few herb pots on the windowsill. “Summer is the ideal time to plan your garden so you’re ready to plant in autumn.” Copies of The Incredible Edible Garden available at www.littlesteps.com. au Keith Platt
BOATERS are again able to use credit cards instead of cash when parking at boat ramps across the Mornington Peninsula. Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Graham Pittock said the ParkMobile introduced last summer was being used by a “significant number of boat ramp users”. The old coin-operated machines will be phased out this month. Those using the system can set up an account at parkmobile.com.au or call 1300 564 564. They can download the free smart device application at iTunes, Google Play or Windows markets. The voice asks for a car registration number and credit card details. An introductory rate for the Parkmobile daily fee is $11. Those without credit cards, or infrequent users of boat ramps, can buy vouchers for $12 at any of the shire’s customer service centres during business hours. Vouchers are one-use only and do not have expiry dates. Boaters can buy a few and use them when they want by adding their details onto the vouchers and displaying them on dashboards. Shire officers will visit boat ramps at peak periods to answer any questions. Regular boat ramp users can buy annual passes for $125. Application forms at mornpen.vic. gov.au

Council confusion over rubbish plan David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au A COUNCIL decision to close Rye tip appears to have been misconstrued by Mornington Peninsula Shire staff, demonstrated by the wording of a newspaper advertisement seeking expressions of interest for disposing of shire waste from mid-2018. Councillors resolved on 14 September that the controversial landfill would stop taking waste after 30 June 2018. The advertisement, published on 28 October, stated that the shire was “strongly considering” closing the site. The News has sought clarification from shire officers but has yet to receive a response. To compound the confusion, councillors overturned the September decision at their last meeting for the year on 14 December, when dealing with seven expressions of interest from companies responding to the advertisement. Councillors resolved to continue receiving waste at Rye tip until a viable “alternative waste technology facility” was available. Such a solution has been shire policy for a decade or so. Any facility, probably a high temperature incinerator as used widely overseas, is not likely to be available
for decades and, at a possible cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, would almost certainly be a state government matter. The December resolution also overturned the intent of the earlier decision, which was to take waste off the peninsula primarily to cut the shire’s carbon footprint by nearly 50 per cent. The meeting resolved instead to investigate dumping waste at Tyabb. The December resolution thus eerily anticipated what councillors decided nearly 50 days after the shire advert was published. The reversal occurred because of voting numbers in the chamber. Cr Tim Wood was ill and absent from the meeting and Cr Lynn Bowden declared a conflict of interest and could not vote, meaning the previous decision was overturned five votes to four. The motion, an alternative to the staff recommendation – that the matter proceed to tender – was proposed by Cr David Gibb, veteran advocate for keeping peninsula rubbish on the peninsula, and seconded by Cr Antonella Celi. They were supported by Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and David Garnock. Opposed were Graham Pittock, Bev Colomb, Tim Rodgers and Hugh Fraser. The decision will come back to
council on 27 January by way of a rescission motion drafted by Cr Fraser. Failure to reverse the Gibb-Celi motion would be a massive setback for the shire policy of becoming carbonneutral, with Rye tip responsible for such a significant proportion of shire carbon emissions. The reversal vote was not unprecedented and is perfectly legal, even though it has affected a key shire environment and climate change policy. A similar vote occurred when supporters of the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre unexpectedly found themselves outnumbered by opponents of the foreshore site. It marked the beginning of the end for the dreams of Cr Gibb and his supporters, with the death blow being struck when the environment minister of the day withdrew consent for the beachfront location. The SPA project, ironically, is dormant: its location may depend on hot water from an aquifer. Cr Gibb was a strong advocate for dumping local waste into the picturesque disused Pioneer quarry site on Boundary Rd, Dromana. This proposal was ultimately rejected by the Environment Protection Authority after vigorous community opposition.
Birthday greetings: Reg Craig, left, with Greg Hunt during a lunch to mark Mr Craig’s 100th birthday.
MP sings Magpies’ praise for persuasive centenarian AT 100, Reg Craig is still a force to be reckoned with. While celebrating his 100th birthday friends recalled his advocacy work within the community and saw proof of his power when Flinders MP Greg Hunt sang along to the Collingwood Football Club’s theme song. Mr Hunt had popped in to the lunch on 27 December at Rosebud Country Club to congratulate Mr Craig and present him with his certificate. Mr Craig also received a letter from the Queen and the Prime Minister. At the lunch Mr Hunt thanked Mr Craig for his service to the Rosebud community over the past 40 years, especially for his work at Regis The Grange aged care centre, where he
now lives. Mr Craig has been an advocate for residents at the West Rosebud centre for many years and in 2013, at 97, was instrumental in having the community bus stop relocated and ensuring a bus shelter was erected by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Mr Hunt said he was “amazed” at Mr Craig’s fitness and “impressed” by his “ongoing dedication to helping others in the community, even in his twilight years”. Mr Hunt also admitted to the occasion being the first time he had sung along to the Collingwood theme song, a favourite of Mr Craig’s, long-time Magpie supporter.

Parks future open for ‘discussion’
Danger area: The fate of a clutch of hooded plover eggs at Koonya beach was set aside for a while on 31 December by wildlife photographer Glenn Ehmke when surfers came to the rescue of a man who had been swept out to sea.
Trio hailed as heroes after surf rescue THREE men battled for nearly two hours to rescue a drowning swimmer in rough seas off Blairgowrie surf beach shortly after Christmas. Police were told the Hampton Park man entered the water near the Hughes Rd entrance to the surf beach while his wife set up on the beach just after 4pm, 31 December. When the woman realised she couldn’t see her
husband in the water she raised the alarm. Leading Senior Constable Julie-Anne Newman said the 56-year-old was spotted about 500 metres offshore in rough conditions and being swept further out to sea. The three men in their 20s – from Rosebud West, Kew and Armadale – rushed into the water on two surfboards and carrying a flotation device.
They reached him about 600 metres out and dragged him onto a board, being buffeted by the rough seas for nearly two hours while bringing him to shore. Local police were on scene together with ambulance paramedics who attended to the exhausted man before he was taken to hospital.
Drowning almost a certainty on peninsula THERE is a 98 per cent chance that at least one person will drown this year while swimming at Mornington Peninsula beaches. Life Saving Victoria’s latest drowning report shows five people lost their lives to drowning here in the 2014/2015 financial year. This represents 13 per cent of the 39 drownings across Victoria. The report found males were seven times more
likely to drown than females, while almost 40 per cent of those who died 2004-14 were aged 25-44. During that time, 41 people drowned on the peninsula and 115 were taken to hospital after almost drowning. Bayside beaches, the ocean, home swimming pools and bathtubs are the main drowning locations. Life Saving Victoria principal research associate
Dr Bernadette Matthews said swimming, boating and diving were common activities being undertaken by drowning victims. “It is important to understand the conditions you will be swimming in, or enjoying during recreation activities,” she said. Swimmers should stay between the red and yellow flags at patrolled beaches and make weather checks.

PARKS Victoria has called for “feedback” on a "discussion paper” about development at Point Nepean National Park. The discussion paper, based on a 2010 master plan, “allows people the opportunity to put forward key issues and ideas in advance of the renewed plan”, Parks chief executive Bradley Fauteux said. “Point Nepean has a long and rich history, including Aboriginal occupation, its role as an important Australian military and defence facility and most recently as a national park. Protecting this significant heritage to ensure this rich history is conserved for future generations is of primary importance,” Mr Fauteux stated in a letter to Nepean Ratepayers’ Association president Colin Watson. “Many people have contributed valuable ideas about possibilities for the future of this iconic site, and I look forward to your participation in the development of a master plan for Point Nepean National Park.” Submissions on the discussion, paper end in March with Parks Victoria aiming to exhibit a final master plan for further comment in June and its adoption late this year. Mr Watson has criticised the state government for rejecting plans for Point Nepean by the Point Leisure Group (PLG). He said the amount of public land required by the group for its upmarket development (including spa, boutique hotel and a university campus) was “tiny compared with the overall size of land in Victoria with its national parks”. Mr Watson says the Nepean Ratepayers’ Association is “very concerned that another proposal may be put forward that has nowhere near the financial benefits that the PLG proposal had, and the government may try and sneak it through to appease the Victorian National Parks Association”.

Checks ‘ease risk’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au
Portsea pub sale PRESS reports, Friday, have confirmed that the Portsea hotel freehold has sold for $17.1 million. The proposed sale was tipped in The News (“Overseas investor eyes on us”, 25/8/15) with owner Colonia Leisure Group national operations manager Grady Patching saying the hotel building and land was for sale – but not the business. Computershare founder and multi-millionaire Chris Morris reportedly paid $9.3 million for the 140-year-old hotel in 1999 and his Colonial Leisure Group took full control in 2012. It will continue to run the hotel with Mr Patching stating the venue “has just had its most profitable year since Chris has owned [it]”. A Herald Sun report says hotel baron Mazen Tabet paid $17.1 million for the peninsula icon.
Old friends meet: Cr Tim Rodgers and Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock had talks with former East Timor president and prime minister José Ramos-Horta during their current trip – self-funded – to the nation with which has strong trade and aid links. Mr Ramos-Horta, now a United Nations special representative in Guinea-Bissau, was awarded the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize jointly with Father Carols Bela for their work in helping East Timor gain its independence from Indonesia.
UNITED Energy is increasing inspections to find faulty power lines in a bid to reduce the risk of fires. Energy and Resources Minister Lily D’Ambrosio announced the increased when responding to calls to “urgently replace” faulty aerial bundled cabling (ABC) at Main Ridge and Red Hill. The cabling has already been blamed for a number of fires in the area. Nepean MP Martin Dixon in state parliament in December urged the minister and cable supplier United Energy to install new cables “before this fire season”. On Friday Ms D’Ambrosio said the government “takes the risk of power lines causing fire very seriously”. “In the short term, I am making sure Energy Safe Victoria works closely with United Energy to ensure steps are in place to reduce the risk of vegetation fires this summer,” she said. “This includes activating more sensitive protection settings on local lines, developing and implementing a system to accurately locate line faults faster, and more frequent inspections and patrols of the HV ABC.” Mr Dixon said United Energy had committed to replace wiring to the most at risk locations by September this year. “This is a vast improvement on the five-year timeframe initially being quoted,” he said. Under normal circumstances the cabling is bundled together and coated in insulation to mitigate the fire risk. However, it appears a faulty batch was installed in heavily wooded areas of Main Ridge and Red Hill, causing at least six fires before summer. Mr Dixon told The News the Main Ridge CFA
Brigade and a number of home owners in the area “have come to me because the insulation around this cabling is melting away, falling to the ground and starting fires”. “This has happened in winter and spring, so you can imagine in the summer season with high winds … those fires could very quickly get away,” he said. He said identifying priority locations for cable replacement would be based on CFA assessments. United Energy – which owns the peninsula’s poles and wires – had earlier agreed the risk of fires was unacceptable and said it would take 10 years to replace them. “I really think that with the fire season approaching, the lack of rainfall, and the fact that the fires have already been starting as a result of what is a recognised issue, this needs to be addressed urgently,” Mr Dixon said. Mr Dixon’s pleas were prompted by concerned residents who wrote to United Energy stating there “was evidence that the ABC power lines are faulty and explode periodically causing fires”. (The News, 15/12/2015). They said a bushfire on 9 November was “a consequence of a failure of your power lines in Main Creek Rd”. United Energy last week confirmed that the Main Ridge and Red Hill ABC cables were installed in 2006 using cable introduced into Victoria in the 1990s. Described as a heavy duty insulated cable, it was designed to reduce the risk of bushfires being caused by vegetation coming into contact with bare wires in heavily vegetated areas. Samantha Porter, of United Energy, said that although the cabling “has had an extremely low failure rate, UE has noticed an increase in faults in certain areas so has accelerated a program to replace the ABC with a cable of different design”. “The new cable we are using in the replacement program has been designed to eliminate the mode of failure of the existing cable.”

Faulty power lines fueling fear of fire David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au FIREFIGHTERS in the Main RidgeRed Hill area are alarmed that the succession of fires starting under powerlines will continue through the next several months, into the drier high-risk fire period. The big fear of some is that the next fire in the sequence of the eight or so blazes in the area so far – blamed on faulty bundled cabling currently now being replaced – will occur in dense bush and not be noticed until it has become a serious menace. “I can’t sleep on these windy nights, when conditions are right to set off the fires,” one veteran said. “So far they have been brought under control quickly. But it’s just been a matter of luck. “How long will our luck last? When will a fire start at night in a remote area and really get going before it’s spotted?” Faulty insulation has been blamed for the fires, which appear to occur when heat from the cables causes the aerial bundled cable (ABC) lines literally to explode, dumping hot material on the ground and starting the fires. The fire-fighting volunteer, who did not want to be named, said United Energy, responsible for Victoria’s electricity poles and wires, had not re-
sponded to fireys’ questions about the outbreaks. Volunteers are now keeping records of these fires in case evidence is required for any subsequent inquiry. The volunteer said no fires had occurred under the old style single strand wiring. “It’s only the bundled stuff, it seems,” he said. “Lots of blokes in the crews replacing it are pretty browned off – we believe the insulation changes colour from black to grey when it’s exposed to sunlight.” United Energy contractors have been seen using what they have told fireys is a heat-detecting device to examine possibly faulty lines, he said. “But this is a 10-year program and it’s barely under way.” Main Creek residents wrote to United Energy last November about the fires, demanding that the company “maintain and preserve all records in relation to the acquisition and purchase of [the apparently faulty power lines], and in respect of any fires that might occur as a result of the failure of such power lines”. As previously reported (“No quick fix for power grid”, The News 15/12/15) many of the cables are estimated to be up to 30 years old. It is believed only a fraction of the work will be done by the end of this bushfire season with the remainder being done on a priority basis by 2020.
Song of hope born from grief AT an early age Melissa Jane found solace in poetry. I more recent years she found herself penning songs. But it was not until she experienced a personal tragedy that the words and music fused into a completed, recorded song. Jane’s Happy Birthday Heaven was written to help people deal with grief after the death of a loved one. Specifically, it is designed to bring solace and comfort on the birth date of that loved one, although Jane’s friends have suggested it could also be played and sung at funerals. Sadly, the words and music came to the Frankston South mother of two after she and her husband Peter King lost a much-wanted baby due to miscarriage. That loss five years ago saw her start to write Happy Birthday in Heaven to ease her own heartache and “to help people deal with their grief”. “I hope this song will help people get through the day, when they are remembering their loved one,” she says. “I’ve written a lot of songs but this is the first one I’ve recorded.” The finished version of Happy Birthday in Heaven was put down in one take, with Jane on piano and Rob Amato playing keyboards at Dreamscape Recording studios, Frankston. “It’s an emotional song of hope and reflection,” Jane says, adding that “it’s in the style of Adele, although I’d never compare myself to her”. She lists her musical influences as being Tori Amos, Alicia Keys and Missy Higgins. “Happy Birthday in Heaven is a song of healing – I feel comfort in hearing it. It brings back memories.
Fond memories: Melissa Jane has written snd recorded a birthday song to ease the pain and appreciate memories of a lost loved one. Picture: Peter King
Sometimes it’s hard to talk on an anniversary and this provides an outlet to think about that person.” Jane, who has trained in psychology and counselling, has two diverse part time jobs: “cooking healthy food for cafes” and devising ways to lessen crime and increase community safety for a municipality. She says a percentage of all profits
from the sale of Happy Birthday in Heaven will be donated to Too Beautiful For Earth, a Victorian not for profit organisation that helps those who have lost a baby through miscarriage. Happy Birthday in Heaven will be available through online stores on Thursday (14 January), see melissajane.com.au Keith Platt

‘Zero tolerance’ for violence on streets Thanks, volunteers: Kath Neilsen Memorial Award winner Amanda Graham, second from left, with Maurice Blackburn lawyer Travis Fewster, CEO Jackie Galloway and Volunteers & Education general manager Andrea Staunton.
Free legal advice goes a long way PENINSULA Community Legal Centre is celebrating the contributions of its volunteers who enable it to offer free legal advice four nights a week. The not-for-profit organisation has been providing ongoing assistance to clients on low incomes since 1977. Its volunteers were celebrated around the world on 5 December: International Volunteer Day, by the United Nations General Assembly in 1985. “Last year our volunteer lawyers provided more than 2000 free legal advices,” Volunteers and Education general manager Andrea Staunton said. “Seventy-six per cent of clients assisted by volunteers had no or low incomes (less than $500 gross per week).” Lawyer volunteers run evening
advice clinics at the head office in Frankston and branches at Rosebud, Bentleigh and Cranbourne, with support from a team of paralegal volunteers. The centre also benefits from the governance of a volunteer-based management committee, and from the contributions of trainee lawyers and special project volunteers. Lawyer volunteer, Amanda Graham, from White Cleland Lawyers and Consultants, which has a branch at Frankston, has received the centre’s highest honour, the 2015 Kath Neilson Memorial Award. It created in 2002 in honour of the late Kath Neilsen, a founder and strong supporter of the centre. Ms Graham began as a lawyer-volunteer in 2005, providing free legal advice to clients on a variety of issues. She has since used her expertise
as an accredited family law specialist to present family law professional development sessions to volunteers and staff. “Peninsula Community Legal Centre has been a hub of legal support in the community for many years,” Ms Graham said. “It provides a means for volunteers to get involved in the community. Opportunities for volunteers are varied and volunteer contributions are appreciated and recognised. “I would like to thank the centre for the opportunities it provides for all members of the community.” Ms Staunton says: “Our volunteers have great impact on the centre’s ability to respond to local legal needs and advance justice for our community.” Call 9783 3600 or visit pclc.org.au for details.
Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au POLICE have asked parents to be responsible for their children in a bid to stop violence on the streets of Frankston. Frankston Senior Sergeant Steve Burt addressed an anti-violence rally in Wells St last Thursday (7 January) and urged parents to be proactive in ensuring their kids do not cause trouble in the city centre. “Victoria Police doesn’t spelling ‘parenting’. Victoria Police will hold people accountable for their actions,” he said. “It’s not up to us to bring your children up. It’s up to you to do the right thing and expose them to … an appropriate environment.” The anti-violence rally was organised by community group Victors Over Violence, a new community group aiming to help victims of violence, and ambassador Lee Will said the fledgling organisation wants to take as positive an approach as possible to win the fight against violence. “Using the term ‘victim’ wasn’t something I wanted to do because I feel that’s quite a negative way of approaching it,” she said. “It’s about tackling the lifestyle that is conducive to violence … and talking to people who are going through it.” Victors Over Violence is working
towards offering legal help, counselling and a safe house for people dealing with the aftermath of violence. “I know all too well what’s happening out there on the streets,” Ms Will, a Frankston resident, said. Councillors Sandra Mayer and Glenn Aitken and mayor Cr James Dooley attended last week’s V.O.V. event. Cr Mayer and Cr Aitken spoke publicly at the event. Cr Mayer said Frankston Council has “zero tolerance” for violence on the streets of the city. “Being at the end of a train line this is what happens but we don’t accept it,” she said. “The sheer statistics surrounding violence are astounding. It affects way too many people simply going about their own business under attack in their own safe space or what should be the safety of their own homes.” Senior Sergeant Steve Burt said police are working in partnership with Frankston Council to tackle street violence and CCTV cameras help identify offenders. “If you come in to Frankston and do the right thing we embrace you and want you here,” he said. “Don’t come here unless you are wanting to be part of this community which is a great, evolving community with a great reputation that can continue to grow if we stand up and be counted.”

NEWS DESK Donate dignity THE charity Share the Dignity which provides homeless and at-risk women with donations of unopened sanitary products is appealing for help from Mornington Peninsula residents. Melly Shute, owner of pre-loved designer boutique Bella on Main, Mornington, is part of this call to action which asks that women pop another packet of pads in their shopping baskets. “These donations allow the women a sense of dignity at a time when they need it most,� she said. “No woman should suffer the indignity of having to choose between eating and buying sanitary items.� Ms Shute said Share the Dignity had had “an amazing response� from peninsula women happy to provide the pads and tampons to those at domestic violence refuges and homeless shelters. “Usually these are the last items to be donated yet the first to be taken,� she said. Ms Shute said unopened sanitary products can be put in the pink bin at her store, Bella On Main, at 96 Main St, Mornington, call 0438 020 660, sharethedignity.com.au

Renourishment required: It’s denied by the state government, but environmentalists believe channel deepening is causing continual erosion at Portsea . Picture: Keith Platt
Eroding beaches to be tracked, renewed BEACHES and foreshores along Port Phillip Bay will be monitored for signs of erosion and renourished as part of a $4.8 million state government project. The Protection of Port Phillip Beaches and Foreshore Program will include works at bay beaches at Frankston, Carrum, Sorrento West, Hampton, Sandringham, Geelong’s Eastern Beach, St Helens and Moorpanyl. Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister Lisa Neville announced the project late last month. “Whether it’s renourishments that widen and lengthen beaches or the work we do with local com-
munities to ensure erosion is properly monitored over the long term, this funding is important for the health of the bay’s coastline,� Ms Neville said in a statement. “These renourishment projects have been prioritised and we will work with local land managers to deliver the projects over the next two years.� The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) consulted with land managers including councils to finalise the program with further consultations due to take place over the next two years.
Millions of dollars have been spent trying to repair erosion at Portsea beach without success in the past few years. The state government denies any link between the widespread erosion at Portsea beach and the controversial channel deepening project to allow larger ships in to the Port of Melbourne. Independent studies by the CSIRO and consultancy firm Water Technologies found channel deepening had contributed towards seabed changes and larger waves at many peninsula beaches. Neil Walker

the survival of hooded plovers and other small ground nesting seabirds. Diane Lewis said a woman approached about “allowing her dog to run all over the beach and into the dunes” claimed not to have seen Parks Victoria’s dog restriction signs. Ms Lewis, president of the Friends of the Hooded Plover group, had been at Rye surf beach watching 12-day-old plover chicks. “These chicks still have a long way to go, they can’t fly until they are 35 days old, but they can now regulate their own temperature and have the strength to run up to the dry sand to avoid beach goers and their dogs - if they are on a lead,” she said. Ms Lewis said hot weather created more pressure for plover chicks, with their parents “trying to get them down to the water’s edge to keep them cool”. Hooded plovers incubating eggs “will be swapping constantly, flying down to the water’s edge to wet their breast feathers and returning to the nest in an effort to keep the eggs at a normal temperature”. Ms Lewis described the three chicks as “cute balls of fluff standing on legs thinner than a matchstick”. “Against the odds they have survived through the 28 days of incubation by both parents. They have survived tides, storms, hungry gulls, kestrels and ravens and very sly foxes,” she said. “They have also survived the few irresponsible dog owners who let their dogs loose in the national park ocean beaches. “Despite all these threats they are here on the beach, their parents watch-
PROTECTORS of the endangered hooded plover are documenting senseless acts by beachgoers that are threatening breeding birds. The plovers each year struggle to breed on Mornington Peninsula beaches with an ever decreasing number ever of their chicks ever taking flight. Dr Grainne Maguire of BirdLife Australia’s beach-nesting birds’ team said data shows that without preventative action hooded plovers will be extinct in the region “in the next 25 years”. “There are a suite of threats these birds face. A number of these threats are natural, but it is the human modifications of habitat - weeds and access points - and predator systems such as introduced foxes, super abundant ravens, gulls and magpies and the impacts of disturbance, direct crushing and predation by domestic pets, that are tipping the balance,” she said. Members of the Friends of the Hooded Plover group have this season erected fences around nests and placed notices asking that the birds be left alone. Other groups such as the Hastingsbased Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association have built shelters under which the plovers and their chicks can seek refuge. But as soon as the latest breeding season was underway it soon became obvious that thoughtless humans were one of the main dangers threatening

dismay, hope on beach ing out for them, standing guard, telling them when to hide, then calling the coast clear signal.” Mr Lewis said the first 10 days “are especially critical as those same threats are ever present. The chicks forage for food from day one and keep cool and safe under their parents brooding. When they can, they scurry across the sand to the water’s edge to feel the cool sand and feed under seaweed. “If they are disturbed, the parents may leave the chicks and lead the threat away. The chicks can starve if they have to hide too long.” Mr Lewis pleaded for beachgoers to “give the plovers a chance” by staying away from the fenced areas. “With luck and great care these three chicks may very well be some of the few endangered plovers to fledge and survive this season,” she said. “When they can fly they have made it, but that's five weeks after they hatch. Will they be okay? Will they beat the odds and fly?” Mark Lethlean, a volunteer for Parks Victoria and BirdLife Australia, said the two organisations had extended their work of protecting nesting shorebirds to Western Port, including both hooded plovers and red-capped plovers. “Unfortunately, the peak period for breeding also coincides with the summer increase in beach usage,” Mr Lethlean said. “We recognise the inconvenience to beachgoers when we cordon off an area of beach for a nesting bird or newly hatched chicks.” He said fences would be removed as soon as possible, but research had
shown there would be few chicks surviving “without this intervention”. Three red-capped plover chicks had successfully fledged at Point Leo although he had seen an increase in the number of people ignoring dog regulations. “Breaches carry heavy penalties and ignorance is no excuse,” Mr Lethlean said. “My second experience involved a couple who read the signs about hooded plover chicks on the beach but instead of abiding by its directions and walking along the water’s edge, have entered the area looking for the chicks. “This action dramatically increased the chance of injuring chicks or forcing then into more dangerous, unprotected areas of the beach. There is no logic to this action.” Mr Lethlean said the “worst example of all” was following a request by the Shoreham ranger to fence the nest of a red-capped plover found by a camper. “When I arrived, someone had thought it amusing to build a sandcastle around the nest. I consider this an act of vandalism and for certain protected species such as the hooded plover, is likely a criminal offence.” Red-capped plover are among the most common and widespread of Australia’s beach-nesting shorebirds. They forage by using a characteristic “stop-run-peck” method, taking small invertebrates from the surface. Their speckled eggs are laid in a shallow depression in the ground, often beneath a low shrub, or out in the open if near water. The threatened hooded plover is list-
ed as vulnerable nationally and endangered in Victoria. The peninsula has the second highest concentration of this species in south eastern Australia but the lowest chick survival rate. It is believed about 70 of the state’s 550 hooded plovers frequent beaches within Mornington Peninsula National Park. The plovers breed September to March, usually laying a clutch of three eggs in a simple “scrape” in the sand. Neil Shelley, also a volunteer with the hooded plover friends group, said that in the past five years just three hooded plover chicks at Gunnamatta have fledged, or grown enough feathers to fly. In September one chick survived its first day after hatching but its fate since then remains unknown. In October four clutches were laid, but non produce a chick due to tides, death of an adult and predation. “In November three of five clutches failed to produce a chick, one clutch produced two chicks which survived four days - fate unknown - and another clutch of three eggs was due to hatch mid-December,” Mr Shelley said on 12 December. “So here we are again, about halfway through the breeding season, and nothing has improved. The birds are doing their bit and have laid 10 clutches totalling 26 eggs - 20 failed to hatch, three are still being incubated and three chicks have hatched. “Of the three chicks hatched, none have survived more than a couple of days.”

time, had accepted the status quo, we would still be engaging in slavery. Jenny Warfe, Dromana
Persistent criticism of local community activism by Michael G Free is becoming tiresome (“Protest dismissed”, Letters 17/11/15, “Wasted words” Letters 15/12/15). In the fractured political system we now have, public advocacy is all that’s left for ordinary people. It doesn’t always win, but sometimes it does, or makes flawed projects better and has saved many Australian treasures. The Franklin River, Fraser Island and Kakadu remain iconic because a community fought to save them. Locally, community action stopped a tip on Arthurs Seat. Could anyone seriously argue we would be better off if these places had been lost? MPs are under no obligation to act in accordance with anything promised in their election spiel, so our support is ignored. We then have to wait three or four years to vote them out, only to be disappointed again. A very blunt instrument. Meanwhile, political donations from vested interests means entities with no accountability to the electorate are the puppet masters, enjoying armchair rides into minister’s offices. Affected communities – the vast majority who select MPs and provide their statutory benefits - are left outside. Meanwhile, the tally of environmentally, financially and socially dubious projects grow locally and Australia wide. As for the completed projects Mr Free refers to, surely most would now agree removing Mornington’s train line and station was a bad idea? The Martha Cove marina has been financially toxic for a string of developers. Contrary to the promised 24/7 access through the Heads, severe restrictions on larger ships are in force; Portsea beach has disappeared as ocean swell pounds the shore daily; the pier’s low landing had to be raised; and taxpayers have spent millions of dollars in vain attempts to save the beach - now armoured with rocks and sandbags with the amenity of a war zone. I applaud anyone prepared to act to protect the places they love rather than meekly accepting some faceless person’s vision, or hoping somebody else will do something. If William Wilberforce, widely criticised in his
Back to work Marvellous to see the return of our globetrotting and well connected councillors Hugh Fraser and (the mayor) Graham Pittock from COP 21. Perhaps we will see more French cooperation with twinning of towns (Paris with Rosebud?) and maybe some Tour de Eiffel bollards along Main St, Mornington. The mayor appears enamoured with the European love of wind turbines and solar energy. However, he ought to check his own backyard. Why should we take his word as gospel and a justification for the French connection? Prove to us ratepayers that you can manage a small local project, maintain it and make us proud of being future focused. Rust has appeared down Crib Point way where the [submarine] HMAS Otama is rotting away at sea anchorage awaiting her fate, which is probably to be sold for scrap or sunk for a fish reef. With the return of Western Port to the people and not to absentee industrialists and shipping magnates, surely common sense dictates that the state government with shire co-operation, develops a tourist attraction based at Hastings. Mr Mayor, this is an item of environmental importance for you to suggest action plans and lobby for state and federal funding. By all means adopt some of the patently obvious European renewable energy initiatives like wind and solar farms (maybe better located securely out at sea off our shire coastline) but for goodness sake, fix up first the Crib Point submarine shamozzle. Sadly, it appears to be the case of let sleeping dogs lie and don't fix it until it's totally stuffed or sunk. Ian Morrison, convenor Mt Eliza Community Alliance

went to East Timor to "monitor the elections" of all things; now, two councillors have had a lovely little trip to Paris, and they even took a female staffer with them, we now find, at a cost of some $18,000. I always thought that our council was suffering from some sort of irrelevance syndrome causing them to venture onto the world stage. I now know that it is simply milking the cow. Climate change? I have the wit to understand far more about climate change than any two councillors, without leaving Mornington. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
the wishy-washy proposal of buying carbon credits from developing nations if we cannot achieve those targets. This will not improve the real per capita emissions of Australia. The belated opening up of financing offshore wind farms by the renewable energy fund announced by Turnbull is just a trick by a government stuck in the dark ages of coal and oil. We have enough room for wind farms on the Australian mainland to end our addiction to coal. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
Money well spent
Rupert Steiner claimed he wasn't a defender of the Labor Party and then proceeded to do just that ("Labor's jobs lost”, Letters 1/12/15). He also referred to a breathtaking hypocrisy, but should look in the mirror first. After conducting a disingenuous campaign against the previous state Liberal government claiming it had plans to use Western Port for coal, knowing full well the plan was for containers only. He then turned around at the pre-poll and on polling day and handed out How to Vote cards for Clive Palmer, one of Australia's biggest coal miners. Yes, the hypocrisy is breathtaking, but it's coming from Mr Steiner's campaigning. Barrie Macmillan, Somerville
I find it quite educational that so many are up in arms about a couple of councillors spending their legitimate allowance for seminars and training to go to the climate summit in Paris. After talking one-on-one with Graham Pittock, I find it to have been well spent money. These funds are referenced in the Local Government Act 1989 and also specifically identified in shire policies: Councillor Resource and Expense Entitlements Policy - Professional Development and Conferences and Seminars. The funds were also approved by the council. This is a drop in the bucket relative to the million dollar losses at Pelican Park, Hastings, that we suffer each year which no one seems to be too concerned about. And as for the whinging councillors, just more politics as usual. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Trading the answer
Misdirected action The Direct Action attributed greenhouse gas emission figures have come in and are going the wrong way. Emissions have increased by 1.3 per cent over the past year in a government report quietly released at Christmas. Recently at the Paris COP21 conference Flinders MP Greg Hunt was ranked third worst in the world on tackling climate change. So what his response? To sign-off on one of the largest polluting coal mines in the world and say it’s not our problem as India will burn the coal and not us. The member for Flinders has failed his electorate and embarrassed us on the world stage. Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens
It is crazy, just crazy, how much litter there is around. I think that there should be a 10 cent bag tax on plastic bags. It will help the environment a lot. If plastic bags had a 10 cent bag tax on them it would cut down the number of plastic bags in the ocean. A United Nations environment program said that in every square mile of water there are 46,000 plastic bags. In 2000 a whale found on a Queensland beach had six metres of plastic inside it. Imagine dropping a plastic bag and a few months later being on a cruise with your family and you see a baby dolphin swimming up to your ship. Then you see it has a plastic bag on its head - the exact plastic bag that you had dropped and you realise the baby dolphin is dead. You would feel like you have murdered it. Fewer plastic bags will also mean more space for landfill, less methane gas polluting the air and the ozone layer would be in better condition. Have you ever killed an animal? Yes you have, you just have not been there. When your litter goes to landfill, it can fly away and go into the ocean and kill many animals. People hate being around places that have a lot of rubbish. It makes people feel sad. Imagine if you were at a lovely beach and a couple years later you went back there and it was so messy with rubbish. In Africa they jokingly call plastic bags their national flower. But, even in Africa they have a tax on plastic bags and all their people only use about four plastic bags a year. So please, let’s spread the news about this tragic problem. Jack Davidson, Mt Eliza
Bank backs out The last day of trading for the ANZ bank in Hastings is 3 February, closing at 2pm. This is the last straw for Hastings, where many shops have closed and the town is dying. There were some challenges, but we were doing much better just before the November state election. It's always been a low socio-economic area, with problems in education and other things, but
the shopping district and community services were good and for the entire time I've lived here, we've rarely had to go any further than Hastings. Not so any more. I believe the problem is that $80 million [budgeted by the previous Liberal government for the Port of Hastings Development Authority] was removed from the community. It seems to me that prior to that we were struggling, just like everyone else in these economic times, but we were enduring, surviving. I'm going to do a transaction at the bank on 3 February before the bank closes. Any transaction that requires the branch stamp will do. I'll put the receipt in my safe. I want a chance to thank the staff for their dedicated service and to say goodbye. When the government changes, I'm sure the port will go ahead and Hastings will stabilise. I just hope we don't lose too many jobs and services before then.

Park opens MORE than 200 people have been invited to the opening of the new community park at Red Hill on Sunday 24 January. Red Hill Community Association has been working on creating the park with Mornington Peninsula Shire since 2009. The invitation list includes councillors and politicians and traders have been asked to donate supplies for the free barbecue which will follow the 12.30pm official opening. Landscaping is being delayed until after summer although the park has barbecues, children’s playground, a shelter with picnic tables and benches and parking.

Now that our minister for coal (Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt) has been told what Australia's carbon reduction target will be for the foreseeable future by the Minister for Foreign Affairs [Julie Bishop] and the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, is it possible that he will start doing something more enlightened than planting trees and getting his picture in the papers? For Australia to achieve the minimalist target it set itself, we need a proper carbon trading system that is connected to the world markets, not

Lunch adds to the festive spirit A CHRISTMAS lunch run by volunteers at the Mornington Senior Citizens clubrooms is a welcome treat for those without family, or who have nowhere to go. It has been run for the past 16 years by a dedicated band of volunteers, with many giving up their own family lunches to bring a bit of cheer to those less fortunate. Organiser Paula Creek makes sure
that as many people as possible enjoy companionship on a day that would otherwise be a lonely experience. She receives help from the Mt Martha Community Bank, which is one of many organisations providing grants ensuring guests also receive a small gift. Mornington Senior Citizens, at Mornington Park, are also great supporters of the event.

ARTISTS have again been behind their easels creating works for the Sorrento Rotary Club’s annual art show. Now in its 30th year, the show last year raised more than $65,000 for community projects on the peninsula. Walter Magilton, pictured, will be judging the more than 800 entries in the show, including oils, watercolours, acrylics and ink on paper. The show includes works by Ron Farnill, Jayne Henderson, Craig Davy, John Whitelaw and Fiona Bilborough. Magilton’s childhood was spent on a dairy farm in Victoria surrounded by forest and its wild creatures. He says his desire to commune with nature in both a physical and spiritual way drives the way he paints An art critic in London once wrote: “Walter Magilton’s landscapes fill the gallery with space, light and air. The farmlands and the countryside … whilst losing nothing of their Australian ruggedness is revealed with sensitive nuances one associates with the best in English landscape painting.” Sorrento Art Show opens 6.30pm Friday 8 January and then daily at Sorrento Community Centre, McFarlan Reserve Sorrento.

1 Sweetlands Court, MOUNT MARTHA $590,000 eview group, 176 Main Street, 5971 0300 Jarrod Carman, 0423 144 102
FROM the front, you have a quaint four-bedroom house with a double lock-up garage and a beautifully maintained garden. Step inside, however, and the real magic begins fabulous open plan living areas, an island-style kitchen with room for the most intensive culinary crusades and polished wood floors that’ll make you smile every time you set foot in your new property. Enter the backyard, where you’ll find a very modern swimming pool, for those days (or nights) where you’d rather kick up your feet at home than trek to the beach. The yard is compact and easy to care for, while the furnishings are top quality and accessible for everyone - if you can’t find it here in Sweetlands Court, it probably doesn’t exist anywhere!
7 Yuilles Road, MORNINGTON $920,000 - $960,000 Jacobs & Lowe, 220 Main Street, 5976 5900 Simon Farrar, 0412 734 130
THIS is your chance! If you’ve ever wanted to live and work in the same city or cuburb, here’s your shot. Yuilles Road is the heart of Mornington’s commercial and industrial hub, with just about every product or service you can think of at your doorstep. Industry resides on the east side of Tyabb Road while medium density residences populate the west side of the street. Not only that, you’ll be right next to the highway, with amazing car and bus network links, so whether you’re headed out or have people coming to you, you can be sure this property will be found. With a three car basement garage that’s more than ample for the workshop tradie or new business proposal, you’ll never run out of space, either. Realistically priced, this property represents an amalgamation of traditional residential tastes and the futuristic and digitally connected world we live in, a prospect that should excite even the most docile of investors. Close to the Main Street shopping strip, this is one not to be missed.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Sad farewell to Somerville teacher Compiled by Melissa Walsh AN extraordinary meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Horticultural and Agricultural Association will be held on Monday next, at 8 p.m, in the Somerville Hall, to consider the advisability of holding the annual show and other business. Ladies are cordially invited to attend. *** MR James St George Sproule, youngest son of Mrs Sproule, Flinders, and the late Mr James Sproule has obtained a commission in the Royal Field artillery. He was wounded four times in Gallipoli and went to England after diphtheria, where he now is to train. *** ANNIVERSARY services in connection with the Frankston Methodist Church will be held on Tuesday next, when the Rev. R. Bradbury, of Balaclava, will preach at 11 a.m., 3 and 7 p.m. On Monday evening a public meeting will be held in the church, for which a good programme is being arranged. Collections will be taken up at each service in aid of the Trust Funds. *** OWING to legal technicalities, the proposed poll of ratepayers with regard to the granting of powers to the Frankston Gas Company to supply electricity to the Shire of Frankston and Hastings for lighting and power purposes, has been postponed to a date to be fixed. In a future issue a fresh advertisement will appear and
we reserve further comment upon the subject until its appearance. *** AT the commencement of the year the Presbyterian body determined to inaugurate regular Sunday services at Frankston, and the Rev. Neil McDonald, who has been stationed at Somerville for some time, was deputed the task. Considerable success has attended the rev. gentleman’s efforts, and for the last two Sundays good congregations have assembled in the Mechanics’ Hall. For the present these services will be held every Sunday morning, commencing at 11 o’clock. *** SINCE the heavy engagements in which the Australians took part in Gallipoli on August 8, Private Noel Edgeworth Somers has been reported missing. He is the eldest son of Dr Edgworth Somers, of Mornington, and was attached to the 14th Battalion. He is 22 years of age, and was educated at the Royal Naval College, Osborne, Isle of Wight, and at Stonyhurst, England. *** A good house attended at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday evening, when a good Bioscope Show was screened by Rankin’s Picture Co. The pictures were good and very plain and distinct. During the evening several young girls did a profitable trade by selling baskets of homemade lollies. The entertainment was promoted by
the Local Branch of the Red Cross Society, and the funds wll be benefited to the extent of £10 or over Dr Maxwell spoke on the good work done by the Society, and the necessity of not growing cold and lax in continuing the same, as long as the war lasted. *** ON Saturday evening next the members of the Mornington Amateur Dramatic Club will give an entertainment in the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall in aid of the Red Cross Society. The programme will consist of 3 one act Comediettas, “ Snowed up with a Duchess,” “The Kleptomaniac,” and “Their New Paying Guest.” The members of the Club playing in this entertainment are all young ladies of Mornington. The plays are spoken of as being most amusing and apart from the patriotic purpose that the funds are to be devoted to, should ensure a full house. *** THE bazaar held during the Xmas holidays in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, in aid of the local Catholic Church was highly successful. The ladies of the congregation had got together a large number of articles, both useful and ornamental, and the stall-holders and their assistants were kept busy disposing of these to their patrons, and by the time of closing on New Year’s night, the stalls were pretty well empty. As secretary, Miss J. Hogan did a large amount of work, and the suc-
cess of the function, in a great measure, was due to this young lady’s efforts. After all expenses are met there will be a considerable balance left to go towards the church funds. *** OLD patrons of the Frankston Sports were pleased to see that Captain Sherlock was so far recovered from his serious accident as to be present at the sports for a while and renew acquaintances. He was the recipient of many hand shakes and congratulations. Mr R. T. Pickieg, who has left the district, was also welcomed back and gladly given a place on the committee, where he worked as energetically as ever. Mr W. Pettit, a former secretary of the club, again paid the old spot a visit, and was welcomed by many old friends. Mr F. Jolly, though not a competitor this year, travelled from Queensland, and spent the Xmas holiday quietly with his parents in Frankston. He mentioned to us previous to his leaving on his return, that he would in all probability be with us again in time for the 1917 sports, and if all went well, would take a part in some of the athletic events, at which he is no mean expert. *** MR G. W. Reed, who has been State School teacher at Somerville for the last 8 or 9 years, has been transferred to a school in the Ballarat district. His going will be very severely felt by the residents, as both Mrs Reed and himself have made themselves very
popular during their stay in the district. In musical circles Mr Reed took a prominent part, and the concerts of his pupils, organised by himself, will long be remembered as special treats. Mr Reed also took a lively interest in the various organizations of the town, being president of the Fruitgrowers’ Association for the current year and also chairman of the Mechanics’ Institute committee, and was very energetic in all movements connected with the recruiting campaign. It is much to he regretted that a few days before leaving he met with the great misfortune of having his house and furniture destroyed by fire. The family were away from home on the evening of the occurrence and before anything could be done towards extinguishing the flames, the fire had gained such a hold that every thing was destroyed, nothing being saved but what they were then wearing. The cause of the fire is unknown. *** WE again call attention to an advertisement in another column stating that steps are being taken in the Shire in response to the Federal Recruiting Appeal. A local committee has been formed consisting of all the Shire Councillors, with the president, Cr Griffeth, as chairman, and the Shire Secretary, Mr J. E. Jones, as hon. sec. All communications should be addressed to the Shire Recruiting Committee, Somerville. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 January, 1916

OUR feet and legs are two of our bodies most complex and relied upon structures, yet they’re often the most neglected. So we asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics for some tips to help keep you on your feet throughout 2016! 1. Always get foot and leg pain or soreness checked by an experienced Sports or Musculoskeletal Podiatrist. Simple soreness can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues and a podiatrist with expertise in Musculoskeletal issues has the most appropriate and specific skills to deal with such issues. 2. Evaluate your footwear. Summer footwear such as thongs and slips-ons can be stressful to the feet. Choose shoes with straps or laces that hold to the feet, and have decent cushioning and support, especially for prolonged activity. 3. Choose activity/sport appropriate shoes for sport & recreational activities. 4. Don’t rely on technological advances in footwear to treat pain & discomfort or decrease risk of injury. Proper advice and treatment from an appropriate podiatrist is the best way to prevent and treat problems. 5. Women can choose better high heel options. If you have to wear high heels try a wedge heel for more support/stability, also look for shoe straps with a bit of substance for extra support. 6. Don’t buy shoes that require a “break-in period”. Shoes should be comfortable immediately.
7. Shop for footwear at the end of the day to accommodate for normal swelling. Feet can swell by up to 10% during the course of a day. 8. Be careful of off-theshelf foot products including mass produced orthotics, innersoles and arch supports. Only devices prescribed by an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist should be used to ensure they are correct, effective and safe. 9. If you’ve been advised you require surgery or medications for any foot, knee or leg concerns, get a second opinion. Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments most surgery can be avoided. Regenerative therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP, as well as a proven holistic approach can assist most foot & leg pain and injuries without the need for surgery, anti-inflammatory medications and cortisone injections, which have recently been proven to delay healing and/or cause further tissue damage in many cases. Better, safer alternatives are now available to assist pain, injury and degenerative concerns. Following these handy hints should help you to stay pain free and active throughout 2016! If you do suffer any foot and leg pain or injuries throughout the year, Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza, Rosebud and Moorabbin can help. Call 1300 328 300. Mention this article when booking for $50 OFF initial consultations.

FREE 30 DAY HEARING AID TRIAL*
Heart disease & hearing I HOPE everyone has thoroughly enjoyed the festive season with their family and friends, and are now ready to embrace a fresh year with new goals and challenges in 2016. Unfortunately, weight gain over the Christmas period is very common, with the average Australian expected to gain between 0.8 – 1.5kg during this time, according to Nutrition Australia. Although this may not sound like much weight, researchers have shown that this weight gain over Christmas is often not lost. Nearly two-thirds of Australians are currently classified as overweight or obese. Along with unintentional weight gain, this can further increase an individual’s risk of heart disease, which is the single biggest killer of Australians. Luckily, we have a heart disease detection device in our body – the cochlear (the organ for hearing). Recent research indicates that hearing loss at the lower pitches of sound can be used as an ‘early marker’ for heart diseases because it is thought that our hearing is highly sensitive, and any abnormalities to the blood flow can affect its function. Therefore, it is important to take advantage of the body’s early indicators of hearing loss to assist with early detection, treatment and rehabilitation. This highlights the importance of regular hearing checks, especially if you are already at risk of heart disease due to other risk factors such as: smoking, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, diabetes, being inactive, being overweight, and having an unhealthy diet. Furthermore, the Australian Heart Foundation have highlighted that depression, social isolation and

a lack of good quality support can also increase your risk of heart disease.

Living to a ripe young age - Diet and health under the microscope COMING to Mornington in February, “Living to a ripe young age” is the title of a popular 6 week course first developed for U3A Mornington, presented by tutor and retired medical practitioner, Dr John Beaney. “While the focus of the course is on intermittent fasting, it is not just about losing weight. It deals with some very significant health issues and challenges a number of entrenched views about the role of fat and sugar in the western diet,” said Dr Beaney. “It assesses the impact of these not only on obesity but, more importantly, on diabetes, early onset Alzheimer’s and even cancer.” U3A course coordinator Eileen Wilson explained “The views John puts forward are supported by a growing body of evidence and he has done extensive research. The bonus is that people are also losing weight, which is probably what attracted them to the course in the first place.” Following the final session, class members said it not only provided extensive background knowledge on the topic but also on the ‘how to’ of maintaining a diet that promoted overall health. “I was impressed with so much information that was evidencebased and John’s practical examples reinforced key messages and, importantly, the how to, such as buying the right foods,” said class member, Helen Gordon. “The whole course had a positive approach with no excess pressure to comply. It made dieting feasible and reachable.” Another class member, Bill Simms said “I have been using this diet over the past two years
without achieving its full potential. This course has given me a better understanding and, being with lots of other people, has been reassuring and motivating. I have now lost four kilograms.” “Living to a ripe young age” commences February 1 at St Marks Uniting Church Hall. Booking is essential. For more information phone Dr Beaney on 0438 752 146.

New skin clinic offers hope for acne sufferers LUMPS & Bumps Skin Clinic is Melbourne’s newest skin clinic and has set up in Mornington and boasts an impressive history for treating a wide range of problematic skin conditions. Lumps & Bumps is a family owned and operated skin clinic and director, Sarah England is a pioneer of advanced laser skin treatments, including for acne, dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, sun spots and a many other skin conditions. An example of Sarah’s expertise and pioneering work is found in her treatment of acne. Acne is a serious concern for many teenagers and their parents as this skin disorder can have negative impacts on an individual’s physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Through her research and clinical trials, Sarah has developed specific skills in the use of the Erbium Class IV laser technology that has
PAGE 46
delivered acne patients amazing results. In addition to laser treatment, acne patients are provided a comprehensive after-care program using medical grade skin care products (not available via normal retail outlets). Sarah notes that traditionally acne has been treated with antibiotics, both topical and oral, and while short-term results can be achieved, long-term results are often elusive. According to Sarah, antibiotics can work by reducing inflammation and destroying bacteria in the skin, however, the antibiotics used do not specifically target the acne bacteria. “Sometimes acne sufferers are prescribed the drug Roaccutane,” said Sarah. “However, there is well documented evidence of the potential side effects of Roaccutane which include persistent migraines, muscle pain, liver damage and birth defects. Further, it can make life difficult by
Mornington News 12 January 2016
causing patients to develop dry, itchy eyes that have to be constantly treated with lubricating eye drops.” Sarah’s revolutionary treatment of acne includes photodynamic therapy to destroy the acne bacteria and also shrink the sebaceous gland which in turn reduces the production of sebum. (Sebum is an oily or waxy substance that is secreted by the microscopic sebaceous glands in the skin). “Using this unique approach, acne treatments can be provided all year round, even in summer, as the medical grade lasers do not cause damage to the surrounding tissue and therefore the skin is not sensitive to light,” said Sarah. The medical grade after-care skin care products used to assist in the treatment of acne following laser treatment are not available in normal retail outlets.
“Cosmetics that are sold ‘over-thecounter’ do not penetrate the skin and only remain on the surface,” said Sarah. “Some of the retail products may contain harmful ingredients such as bleaches, and although they may destroy bacteria during early application, longer term they may cause the skin to become very dry and irritated - which potentially might lead to further development of acne pustules and a worsening of the acne skin condition.” Lumps & Bumps specialises in treating “difficult” skin disorders including dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, benign moles and a host of other skin conditions. In addition to its clinical and cosmetic services, Lumps & Bumps is also a strong supporter of community education and conducts school seminars and workshops designed to educate children and parents on healthy
skin care and treatment options for a broad range of skin conditions. “At Lumps & Bumps we want to actively educate the community so that they can make the right decisions for themselves and their children. One of the programs we run involves free education seminars for parents and their school-age children. At these seminars parents and children can freely discuss their concerns and ask relevant questions,” said Sarah. Lumps & Bumps is also planning a series of free workshops to be held at their clinic where community members may attend to discuss a variety of skin-related topics.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The paranoid android anxiety complex By Stuart McCullough IT was inevitable, I suppose. At some point I was always going to raise the white flag and succumb. After all, you can only resist for so long. Besides, our fourth anniversary loomed and, according to Wikipedia, such occasions are celebrated with gifts of linen, silk or appliances. If you can find an appliance made of linen and silk, I suppose that would be ideal, but they are few and far between. Next year it’s ‘wood’, which doesn’t sound especially promising, but this year is gizmos and gadgets. These were the heightened circumstances under which I finally relented and bought a robot vacuum cleaner. The thing about robot vacuum cleaners is that, in every way imaginable, they suck. Indeed, that’s their job. With our anniversary looming, I dutifully trotted off to the appliance store and waited around in the vain hope of some service. I wasn’t sure of its official title but figured it was probably something along the lines of the ‘Sucktastic 2000’, ‘Megatronic Swallow Machine’ or the ‘Dirtinator’ and explained all this to the shop assistant using flamboyant hand gestures to get my point across. She seemed to understand what I was asking for. Having been freed from its box and unleashed in our home, it now lurks like a digital turtle in one corner of the room, feeding on electricity until the moment it decides to spring into action. The first time it happened, both and I the dog were somewhat startled. It’s often said that animals can sense evil and, in the case of our dog Fozzie,
anything that involves food, but it’s rare that she and I both react to things the same way. For example, the dog often goes completely berserk when a bird lands in the backyard, whereas I have thus far been able to maintain my composure. Similarly, I have been known to abandon my serenity when accidentally coming across ‘The Bolt Report’ when, to her credit, our dog remains relatively un-phased. There was a gentle hum emanating from the living room. It sounded as though the evaporative cooling system had climbed out of the roof and was going for a walk.

thing I might have left lying around. I’m not sure why I found the sight of it so unsettling. It’s the first time I’ve owned an appliance that does whatever it wants, whenever it likes. I’ve seen 2001: A Space Odyssey and although I can’t pretend that I understood it, I know that computers who think for themselves are nothing but trouble. If I was suspicious, the dog was even worse; slinking off to the bathroom to lie on the tiles and wait it out. As the mysterious creature rolled around the floor, it did so in a pattern detectable only to itself. Then, after a time, it decided it’d had enough and began the journey back to the charging station where it promptly fell asleep. There are two ways you can look at
this. Either it’s a great technological advance that frees us from the tyranny of regular vacuuming or it’s an artefact of a dystopian future made real. I strongly suspect the latter may be the case. Truth is, I don’t trust the Sucktastic 2000. Not one little bit. It’s an uneasy feeling. I return home from work each day and I wonder what on earth it’s been up to. You can’t tell me that a life form so evolved, so technologically advanced is just lying around on a charger all day. I know it’s up to something. Sometimes I get the sense that things have moved or been re-arranged ever so slightly. Just the other day, I couldn’t find the little iPod I take when I go for a jog and, inevitably, my suspicions turned to the robot
vacuum. It is, I feel, beginning to mess with my mind. I’m overwhelmed by disquiet. As though I am constantly under surveillance, being judged by the Sucktastic 2000 who never so much as says a word. Not even ‘hello’. The dog and I are united on this. We must band together to resist the rising despotism of the appliances as they attempt their mechanical insurrection in which they endeavour to crush the human spirit like a pre-loved can of Solo abandoned on the roadside beneath the giant gumboot of destiny. Secretly, I think I can get the regular vacuum on side who is now at serious risk of being out of a job. For now, I’m biding my time. Indeed, I will bide my time until it lodges a complaint and I am forced to release back into the wild. I am, of course, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Sadly, it has yet to arise. That’s because robots may power down, but they never really sleep. Meanwhile, the Sucktastic remains mute whilst moving my things whenever I’m not looking. On the one hand, if I take off my shoes I might be able to sneak up behind it and catch it unawares. Then again, maybe it has a fully functioning weapons system and will blow my sorry self to smithereens if I do. It’s a risk. Perhaps it’s better to do nothing. Even if, like the appliance itself, that truly sucks. Sleep with one eye open, robot vacuum. You’ve made yourself a powerful enemy. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Mornington News 12 January 2016
Mornington hosts Silvers Circus in 2016 ESTABLISHED in 1976, Silvers Circus provides world class family entertainment and fun. With extraordinary artists continually arriving from all parts of the world, Silvers are proud of the everchanging program they are able to present. After nearly three decades on the road, Silvers is a household name in Australia. They still maintain the sparkle, glamour and death-defying acts expected of Australia’s premier circus. The 2 hour action-packed show, featuring Ringmaster and Master of Illusions Simon Tait, will also include the Wheel of Steel. A young man with nerves of Steel, Dominik Gasser will run, jump, skip and flip through a routine of sheer physical audacity. Its wheels oscillate and revolve from ground level to dizzying heights – such a spectacle is bound to leave you chewing your nails and squirming in your seats. Also... clowns. Expect the unexpected. They’re guaranteed to tickle the funny bone, as is the circus’ latest addition to their repertoire of physical and comedic exploits. It’s called the Bicycle Act. Justin Valise, its demonstrator, is a professional idiot, specialising in stupidity and acrobatics on a bicycle. Trained at the school of hard knocks and inspired by Murphy’s Law (what can go wrong will go wrong), Justin has created an act that wrestles with the unexpected and really raises the bar. With hard work and some measure of good fortune, Justin has managed to combine the theatricality of a modern day fool with the physical skills of an acrobat to create distinctive and engaging entertainment. For tickets to 2016’s Silvers Circus, see Ticketmaster or call the circus direct on 0413 880 044 or 0400 456 157. MPNG have ten family passes to give away (2 adults & 2 children) to the 11am performance on Saturday Jan 16. To enter, email: communityevents@mpnews.com.au Please include your name, a contact number, and your favourite circus act.
Fun and learning at Cherry Lane CHERRY Lane Children’s Centre is a family owned and operated early childhood facility that caters for children from 3 months to 5 years. When Director, Jamie Bracun opened the child care centre five years ago, she wanted to create a fabulous environment for children to feel at home and learn at the same time. “We are a family owned and run centre with a sports program, music program and laptop program which is all included in the price. We are taking enrollments and have a kinder program. We are into sustainability, with chickens, veggie patches, do all the recycling and have a compost bin,” says Jamie, who is delighted with the progress of the centre. “At Cherry Lane we provide a kindergarten program, and our teacher is a qualified kindergarten teacher and holds a Bachelor of Early Childhood. The program runs all day every day, with some exceptions, and runs for both 3 and 4 year olds.” At Cherry Lane Children’s Centre there is no set time that children need to attend or certain days. “We are very flexible. You can start at any time of the year as long as there is space available. We are open all year round with the exception of public holidays and weekends, and may choose to limit the hours of care between Christmas and New Year,” says Jamie. You can guarantee your child is in safe hands with the philosophy of the centre to provide an environment that is engaging and inviting for children, will help them learn and extend themselves whilst at play. “This is the key for how children learn. Learning about the children’s interests extends their development and scaffolds their learning in a way that engages each child. A child that is comfortable within their environment is a child that will want to learn. We believe we provide this through the equipment we have available for the children to use and explore with. This equipment comes from conversations with children and families, observing the child individually and in groups,” says Jamie, explaining that communication with children whilst in play enables them to learn about children’s interests, development and needs. “Talking with children and listening to children is how relationships are built. This is also how children build relationships with the educators and other children.” Cherry Lane Children’s Centre is at 6-8 Andrew Street, Seaford. Phone 9786 2880. Open Monday to Friday from 6.30am till 6.30pm. Mornington News 12 January 2016

Fight is on in Provincial PROVINCIAL By IT Gully THE fight for a place in the 2015/16 MPCA Provincial finals is well and truly on following the first game of the New Year on Saturday. Whilst Peninsula Old Boys locked away top spot and a home final after smashing Rye, there are a further eight teams that have genuine claims of finishing in the top four. Just one match separates secondplaced Long Island (56 points) from ninth-placed Langwarrin (44). The team to beat this season, Sorrento, lost again on Saturday at the hands of the Islanders. The Sorras are just eight points outside of the top four, however. Langwarrin gave itself every opportunity to come to the party with a late charge after beating Moorooduc.
Batting first, Moorooduc was 3/8 and 7/24 at one stage, before Sam Adams (42) and Adam Bayly (21) gave their bowlers something to defend (96). Adam Campbell was superb for the home side, snaring 4/14 from 10 overs, whilst brother and coach Trav Campbell picked up 2/17. Matt Prosser finished off the innings with a 2.5 over spell, to finish with figures of 2/2. Prosser finished unbeaten on 40, while a returning Al Davie hit eight fours in his innings of 36. Langwarrin got the runs (1/99) in 27 overs. Adrian Mack also returned for the Kangas and finished with figures of 1/20 from seven overs. Somerville moved back inside the top four at the expense of opponent Crib Point. The Magpies lost the toss and were
sent in to bat and were bowled out in the second last over of their innings for 100. Neil Clark hit 41. Blake Terlaak and Brenton Alp finished with 3/11 and 3/27 respectively for the Eagles while Russell Wilkes and Nick Marshall claimed 2/21 and 2/18 respectively. The Eagles got the runs six wickets down, with Jack Barbour scoring 25. Luke Herrington and Brad Davidson each picked up a couple of wickets for the Magpies. Mt Eliza started-off the New Year in fine fashion, winning its second game of the season against Pines. The Mounties batted first and limped to 8/117. Keith Biggs top scored for the home team with 39 while Justin Grant hit 31. Pat Jackson was the pick of the Piners’ bowlers with 3/14 and Craig Entwhistle picked up 3/21. In reply, Pines was bowled out for
93 with Rob Maskiell snaring 4/27 and Nick Baron and Grant getting a couple of wickets each. Entwhisle top scored against his old side with 42 for Pines. Baxter picked up an important win against Mornington, leaving the Doggies 20 points outside the top four in 10th place on the ladder. It was a must-win game for the Dogs and it now looks like their season is just about finished. The Dogs batted first on their home deck and set a more than reasonable target of 7/147. Luke Popov top scored with 49 and Brad McDonald hit 28 batting at three. Dale Irving and Chamika Sattambi claimed 3/38 and 3/29 respectively for Baxter. Chris Brittain opened the Baxter innings with 90 runs, getting his side over the line with the help of brother Ben, who was unbeaten on 25.
At one stage, Baxter was in real trouble at 6/40 before finishing the Dogs off in the 37th over eight wickets down (8/152). Michael Heib and Glenn Wood took two wickets each for the Dogs. Wade Pelzer smacked 103 and Dylan O’Malley scored 80 as Peninsula Old Boys set Rye a massive target of 6/243. In reply, Rye were bowled-out in the 26th over for 78, before losing another four wickets in their second innings. Adam Jones picked up 4/32 in the first innings and 2/10 in the second. Eivion Bowen took 3/7 from four overs in the first innings. In the final game, Sorrento was bowled out for 116 in the 37th overs against Long Island. The visitors then replied with 2/119 in 22.4 overs.
Sharks make their move
DISTRICT
By IT Gully FLINDERS has joined Pearcedale in the MPCA District top four after serving-up a very solid performance in the one day clash on Saturday. Playing on their home deck, the Sharks batted first after Dwayne Field won the toss and scored a competitive 8/144 in their 40 overs. Andrew Power opened the innings with 40 runs while Mitch Stansborough contributed 33 to the total. Chris Dew was the pick of the Pearcedale bowlers with 3/29 from 10 overs. In reply, the Panthers lost wickets consistently and were eventually dismissed in the 35th over for 98. Will Kennedy top scored with 21 before being run-out. Matt Burns made it 14 wickets for the season after picking-up 3/16 from 10 overs. Baden Powell again flexed its collective muscle to make light work of Boneo. The Braves batted first and made a very hard to reach 8/199. Travis Kellerman, who has played just two First IX games this season, top scored for the home side with 62, while Tom Wood scored 41 at the top of the innings. Cam Williams was the best of the Boneo bowlers, with four wickets. In reply, the visitors were bowled out in the 36th over for 102. Josh Gana top scored with 23. Ryan Barnett claimed 4/26 from 10 overs for the Braves. Red Hill and Main Ridge scored more than 400 runs between them on the small deck at Ditterich Reserve. The Hillmen batted first with Callum Rowe (53), Simon Dart (50) and Matt Merifield (50) all getting half centuries to score 5/216. In reply, Gareth Wyatt scored 69 and Ed Aarons 50. However, after 40 overs, the home side was left 15 runs short (9/201).
Rowe bowled five overs for a return of 4/32 and was the catalyst in the win after Main Ridge appeared to be in control at 6/180. Seaford is one game outside the top four after picking up the win against Delacombe Park. The Parkers were bowled out in the 28th over. Shane Deal was explosive, netting 71 after the visitors were 7/78. Paul Hartle wound back the clock for Seaford and snared 4/31 from 8.5 overs. Seaford got the runs (4/153) in the 28th over, with Faisal Payenda scoring 63. Heatherhill too is just a game outside the top bracket after beating Carrum. They made 8/163 with Kristian Miller top scoring with 34 and Christian Heath getting 29. The Lions were rolled for 148 in the 38th over. Ben Davies picked up 3/25 in his first senior match while Jake Theobold claimed 3/29. Seaford Tigers picked up the 12 points after beating Mt Martha. The Reds batted first and were restricted to 99 in 38.3 overs. Jake Smart top scored with 25. Matt Meagher, Corey Hand, Ash Mills and Darren James all picked up two wickets each. The Tigers were in some early trouble at 5/37 before Meagher (30) and David James (20*) got them home (8/102).

Balnarring back in the race SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully A REAL race for a place in the finals has developed in MPCA Sub District cricket following the opening match of the New Year. While Dromana and Hastings are nestled nicely in the top two spots on the ladder, there are now six clubs who have claims on the final two positions. Balnarring is back in the race after knocking over Rosebud in a high scoring clash. The Buds won the toss and elected to bat at Balnarring Reserve and looked to do everything right on their way to 7/192. Billy Quigley was superb with 72 batting at three, Matt Maher contributed 28 and Kane Donald scored 23. The best of the Balnarring bowlers were Mitch Kleinig (2/46) and Michael Griese (2/35). However, despite the strong total, the Saints were able to hunt it down. The home side finished with 7/193 off 37 overs. Andrew Shannon top scored for the Saints with an unbeaten 54 while Mark Walles hit 49.
The final hurdle: Langwarrin appeal in their pre-finals win over Moorooduc. Saturday’s victory locks them in as finals contenders. Picture: Andrew Hurst
BURDETT’S
Jason Nagel was the pick of the Rosebud bowlers with 3/43 from 10 overs, while Quigley and Geoff Glaum each picked up two wickets. Ballam Park is just half a game outside the top bracket after beating Frankston YCW. It was a must-win game for the Knights, and they did it after batting first and scoring 7/193. That was largely due to the sensational innings of David Roach, who opened with a superb knock of 107. Andrew Kitson claimed 3/39 for the Stonecats. In reply, the visitors were rolled for 153 after 37 overs. Lai Leaunoa opened with 58 for the Stonecats to be their highest run getter. Dean Lefebvre was the star with the ball for the Knights, taking 5/24 from eight overs. Sean Osborne was also back for the Knights, getting 1/27 from five overs and scoring 16 runs. Nathan Bradbury was also back for his first game. Dromana’s Aaron Kaddatz almost single-handedly beat Tootgarook. Kaddatz claimed 5/20 from 10 overs in Tootgarook’s total of 141 in 38 overs. Kaddatz also caused a run-out. He then scored an unbeaten 33 as the Hoppers scored 6/146 in 40 overs. Jack Fowler was the top scorer for Dromana with 38. The match between Carrum Downs and second placed Hastings was abandoned due to an unplayable pitch.

Picture perfect: Noddy Angelakos celebrates his victory in the Gift in five-star weather with his family. Picture: Barry Irving
Photo finish at closest Rye Gift yet By Barry Irving RYE Sports & Social Club hosted the 42nd running of Rye’s premier sporting event, the Rye Gift, on Saturday. In perfect weather for an athletics carnival, the Victorian Athletic League conducted this multi-event program that draws Victoria’s top athletes to Rye each January. Now billed as a day out for families, there was a host of children’s activities that included face painting, a jumping castle and a visit from Mickey Mouse, Dora the Explorer and Peter Rabbit. For the adults, an on-course bookmaker, beverage tent and food stalls added to the full program of sprint and distance events by athletes of all ages. The 120m Rye Gift featured one of the closest finishes for many years, with the win going to Noddy Angelakos in 12.435 seconds. Liam
Procaccino came in 2nd at 12.450 seconds, with Paul Tancredi 3rd in 12.486 seconds. The 120m Women’s Diamond resulted in a convincing win for Celia Cosgriff (14.161 seconds) over Nadeen Brown (14.315 seconds) with Caitlin Hawks 3rd (14.361 seconds). A crowd favourite, the “Footballers relay” was won this year by the team from Rye Football Club, with the Dromana team winning the junior football relay. The Rye Gift is organised by the Rye Sports & Social Club with profits from the day being shared by the seven participating Rye Sports clubs, whose members man the gates and stalls on the day. Held on the second Saturday in January, this event grows more popular each year, attracting more entries and larger crowds. A Gift to be treasured: (Clockwise from top) Representatives of the Rye Football Club display their victory plaque with sponsors Gary Sanford and Gary Gillies, Celia Cosgriff took out the Women’s Diamond with gusto, winners of the Junior Gift give a hearty thumbs-up and Allegria has her face painted at one of the many activity stalls on the day.
