MPNEWS (1300 676 397) or email: team@mpnews.com.au www.mpnews.com.au Reopening: Reg and Elaine prepare their Mt Eliza garden for the open days.

Gardens back by popular demand AFTER a short break, Earimil Gardens in Mt Eliza will open for two Sundays this spring to, once again, raise money for children’s charities. But, this year, there will be none of the usual jazz band or food-and-wine fanfare. “Just come along and see the beautiful gardens and enjoy a picnic if desired,” owner Elaine Smith said. “And bring your own coffee.” Elaine and husband, Reg, ran the garden open days for 20 years before retiring in 2012. “Now, after some of our old supporters complained about us stopping, we have decided to open this spring for just two Sundays,” she said. So far they have raised more than $1 million for children with life threatening injuries and their families. The gardens, at 33A Koornalla Cres, will be open 10.30am-4pm, October 12 and November 9. Entry is $10 and children are free.

Mother pleads for end to carnage Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au THE family of a young man killed in a “violent, frightening and completely unprovoked attack” in Rye has issued a heartfelt plea for an end to the carnage that has claimed dozens of lives in socalled “coward punch” attacks, while criticising the sentence handed down to the killer. Dylan Closter, 20, was sentenced to nine years and three months’ jail with a six-year minimum term in the Victorian Supreme Court on Thursday after belatedly pleading guilty to

manslaughter and affray over the death of David Cassai, 22, in Rye on New Year’s Eve 2012. Mr Cassai’s mother, Caterina Politi, said she was bitterly disappointed at the sentence handed down to her son’s killer, but welcomed new Victorian laws that take effect from this week that mandate a minimum term of 10 years' jail for one-punch deaths. “Six years minimum – it’ll never be enough, but it doesn't send a message of deterrence and punishment for a man who took my son's life,” Ms Politi said outside court. “People waste their lives on the dole

for five years and six years. Ten years is more significant.” A large group of friends and supporters of Mr Cassai’s family attended the court on Thursday wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the message: ‘Stop. One punch can kill’. Mr Cassai’s sister, Luisa, said she was hopeful the tragic and avoidable death of brother would lead to greater awareness of the consequences of violence. “This isn't just for David. It's in his memory, but it's for everyone that's lost their lives from this,” she said. David Cassai, who lived in Tem-

plestowe, was on the way home to his family’s holiday house in Rosebud with two friends in the early hours of December 31 after a night out at the Portsea Hotel when the deadly attack occurred. The three men had planned to catch the bus home to Rosebud but discovered it only went as far as Rye and decided to walk the rest of the way. However, they were “ambushed” by Closter, an apprentice plumber who was then aged 18, and two friends Thomas McCluskey-Sharp, 26, and Tyrone Russell, 22, outside a Rye pizza shop.

The attack was captured on CCTV footage. After aggressively demanding a friend of Mr Cassai's put down a street sign he was carrying, Closter began shoving Mr Cassai, before shaping up “like a boxer”. Closter began swinging punches as Mr Cassai tried to back away and talk down the situation. But Closter kept coming, first knocking Mr Cassai to the ground and then chasing after him. He finally landed a “vicious” roundhouse punch to Mr Cassai’s, which sent him crashing to the pavement. Continued Page 16

Friendly visitors bring cheer to lonely lives Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MAKING life more enjoyable for the elderly is the aim of a group whose members got together in Mt Eliza last week. Team leaders of the Friendly Visiting Teams from all over Victoria joined their hosts – the Mornington Peninsula team – at their annual meeting to discuss, and learn, about each other’s experiences. Friendly Visiting Team volunteers visit the lonely and the elderly in their homes or at nursing homes or hostels on a regular basis. Their sole aim is to bring some cheer and company to those who may feel that life has forgotten them. The teams started 20 years ago when some Dutch migrants realised many elderly – often from their own country – were alone and lonely. Some, through a stroke or health problem, had lost their ability to speak their second language, English, and this made it difficult for them to go about their normal lives in the community. This prompted the formation of Dutch Australian Community Action (DACA), whose members set about finding these people, visiting them, and bucking up their spirits. The idea took root and Friendly Visiting Teams were set up all over Victoria. The groups’ success had earned them a government grant allowing

them to employ a part time coordinator. Conference director Henk Bierman – who founded the Albury-Wodonga team and who is now active on the peninsula - said up to 1500 Dutch emigrant families were living on the Mornington Peninsula in the 1950s and 60s. Many were elderly and, in those early days, there were few clubs or facilities for them to join and integrate. Volunteers on the peninsula learn about potential elderly clients by, for example, setting up a table in shopping centres, or outside large supermarkets, and talking to shoppers, handing out cards and getting people engaged in their work. The Andrew Kerr Frail and Aged Care Centre, Mornington, and Westernport Gardens Retirement Village, Bittern, are two peninsula elderly homes frequently visited. “Our Mornington team has volunteers who can speak English/Dutch and English/French,” Mr Bierman said. “We enjoy listening to guest speakers who speak on dementia and other important subjects. Around 35 team leaders from 11 of the 13 teams - mainly from country areas – met for last week’s conference. They were welcomed by Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi. During a break, two buses took them sightseeing to the peninsula’s scenic hotspots and a winery for lunch.

Big red a dream pier catch A PRIZE catch that “didn’t get away” is this snapper caught off Mornington pier by Mercedes-Benz Mornington sales executive Jeremy Slade. Mr Slade caught it in the harbour on Saturday last week using fresh squid as bait. It took him 15 minutes to land the

7.7 kilogram whopper – thanks to the assistance of spectators who helped him land it. "It is the biggest fish I have ever caught," said Mr Slade, a Mornington local. “It is ironic that it was so windy on the Sunday morning that I left the boat at home."

No doubt Mr Slade will have much pleasure telling his customers about the wonderful catch that "didn't get away".

Hide provides the best view TAKE a bird’s eye view of the Balcombe Estuary from Mt Martha’s new bird hide - The Liz Barraclough Bird Hide, named after its “hardest working volunteer�. Mornington Peninsula’s Cr Bev Colomb will open the hide at 11am on Saturday. BERG Mt Martha president Graham Hubbard said Ms Barraclough epitomised the spirit of volunteerism and was well known in the Mt Martha area for her passion for the environment, her selflessness, expertise, leadership and positivism. “We feel privileged to have this exceptional woman spearheading our environmental work and I’m proud to work alongside her – with a spade, at working bees, moving mulch, writing submissions, and lobbying,� he said. “Naming this bird hide after her gives some recognition to all her efforts to preserve and restore this unique estuary.� It will be a big weekend for Ms Barraclough who is a finalist in the Victorian Premier’s Volunteer of the Year Award 2014, known as the Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Award. The winner of will be announced on Sunday at Cruden Farm. Ms Barraclough has reportedly given more than 13,000 volunteer hours over the past 17 years to preserving and restoring the Balcombe Estuary and reserves and managing the many groups required to complement her efforts. The hide, built by BERG Mt Martha and Rotary Mt Martha, commemorates Rotary’s 40th birthday. Bunnings Mornington provided materials and BERG designed, built

Volunteer spirit: Liz Barraclough at home in her environment.

and provided most of the labour, with Rotary’s help. Those who love the thrill of seeing a royal spoonbill or an elegant white faced heron will find the bird hide

an ideal vantage point. Tucked away close to the Balcombe Estuary, north of the bridge, it gives bird spotters of all ages a superb viewpoint into this estuarine environment.

Legal fight looms over Point plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE state government has been warned any bid to rezone the Quarantine Station precinct at Point Nepean may be challenged in the Supreme Court. The government wants to rezone part of the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme to facilitate a $100 million tourism development by the Point Leisure Group, run by Trine and Richard Shelmerdine. The Victorian National Parks Association and several other groups have advice from a Senior Counsel specialising in town planning that the proposed amendment and rezoning “is flawed as beyond power, unlawful and liable to be set aside�.

In letters to Planning Minister Matthew Guy and Environment Minister Ryan Smith, the VNPA’s executive director Matt Ruchel gives the ministers a deadline of last Wednesday (1 October) to abandon the amendment. If no reply was received the VNPA and other groups would “reserve our rights to instruct solicitors to issue Supreme Court Writ declaring the purported amendment and proposed rezoning to be invalid and of no effect whatsoever�. Mr Ruchel says that if the amendment was declared invalid any lease for the land “must also fail and is liable to be set aside by the court�. The Shelmerdines’ “integrated health and wellness destination� includes “architecturally stunning indoor and outdoor geothermal facili-

ties that ‌ will help underpin and support the overall commercial activation of Point Nepean and ensure a sustainable business model for the areaâ€?.

Talking birds

Strange scenes

VAL Ford, editor of Birds Australia Peninsula, will speak on visiting birds to the peninsula at the Mornington Environment Association’s annual meeting at 7.30pm, Thursday 9 October, in the Meeting Room, Mornington Library. Mornington MP David Morris and Cr Bev Colomb will provide updates for members. All welcome.

HUNDREDS of drivers on the Nepean Highway were left doing double-takes on Friday morning as a large white horse was transported along the busy roadway in a bright red Holden Brumby ute between Mornington and Mt Eliza. The eye-popping scene was the result of an exhibition celebrating the year of the horse at the Manyung Gallery in Mount Eliza during October. Gallery director David Wemyss-Smith organised to borrow the well-known fibreglass horse from Horseland Mornington to promote the exhibition. Unfortunately, the Brumby experienced some engine trouble that left the vehicle stranded opposite the gallery, much to the delight of numerous passers-byes who stopped to snapped pictures. But the Brumby and its precious cargo eventually made it to the castle home of the Manyung Gallery in time for the exhibition opening. The prized horse will stand guard outside the gallery over the course of the Year of the Horse exhibition, which is on until the end of October.

Garden art form talk MARILYN Elm will deliver an illustrated lecture The Garden: An Art Form at the next Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society’s meeting at 5.30pm on Friday 10 October at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilson Rd, Mornington. Ms Elm is passionately interested in the creative use of plants and land forms at different times to give variety to gardens large and small.

crecy surrounding conditions in the 99-year lease being negotiated with the Shelmerdines. They fear further subdivision will be allowed if the geothermal spa does not succeed financially. The government has invited public comment on the Point Leisure group’s proposals but gave no guarantees it would address any concerns raised. Nepean MP Martin Dixon says the community can “rest assured� that the process being followed by the government is “entirely consistent� with the Point Nepean National Park master plan. (See Letters Page 12) Mr Dixon says the master plan and the Quarantine Station precinct at Point Nepean National Park “explicitly endorse sensitive development�.

Stack SPA meeting, group urged David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au SUPPORTERS of building the SPA on Rosebud foreshore hope to stack the 13 October council meeting by arriving early and occupying all the seats in the chamber, “to stop the anti’s” getting in. The pro-foreshore campaigners, discussing tactics on their Facebook page, “Pro SPA”, have also suggested wearing “goggles, floaties etc so they can see we want SPA” (the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre). The message series begins with prominent pro-foreshore site campaigner Nicole Nicolle telling Pro SPA’s 76 or so members: “OKAY ALL.... I've had a very interesting meeting with my group and this is where we are at. We

have a council meeting on MONDAY 13TH OCTOBER that we need to attend. 6 PM at the ROSEBUD SHIRE OFFCES (meeting starts at 7pm but we want to fill the seats in the gallery). “Start telling people to bring along as many as possible. There will be a major item regarding SPA brought to the table at this meeting and we as a COMMUNITY NEED TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT!!!” The item is believed to be the rescission motion lodged by Cr Anne Shaw, seeking to reverse decisions made at the 8 September council meeting to stop work on the foreshore site proposal. Back at Pro SPA, Esther Revens responds with her goggles suggestion, adding that the shire chamber has “just under 80” seats which, if filled by pro-

foreshore campaigners, will mean that “all the councillors will and hear from is us” (sic). Ms Nicolle agrees. “PLEASE everyone we need to get more people into this group. If you know people who want SPA and for it to be successful then join them up,” she writes. “Also we need to send as many emails as possible to council expressing our outrage over [councillor] Hugh Fraser's motion (to revitalise Rosebud, including by moving the pool to Wannaeue Pl). It will NEVER come to fruition as the cost is outragous...(sic)” (Shire CEO Michael Kennedy has estimated the Fraser proposal would cost more than $100 million.) Belinda van Hoof agrees more campaigners are needed. “We need a

movement everyone!!!” she writes. “Not 30 or 40 people! We need hundreds to get the message through to our councillors.” Esther Revens tells of her visit to Frankston’s Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC). “WOW I was blown away,” she writes. “Packed with people. Definitely need waterslide. Absolutely wonderful atmosphere.” Ms Revens goes on to talk of a subsequent meeting she attended, “chaired by Bev McClomb (sic; Cr Bev Colomb is not, so far as this writer is aware, of Scottish heritage). Told someone how great PARC was and hydro pool etc. She commented we will have a hydro pool”. “I said what in 10 years I won’t be able to walk by then. And to think after

the meeting at memorial hall last week, when leaving I had Hugh Fraser lined up with my car. I could of (sic) put an end of (sic) his voting. If only I had stepped on the accelerator rather than the brake,” she concludes jovially. Finally, Ms Revens advises: “Just need to write and say that firstly you want SPA and the preference to where you would like it. Let them know why. Tell them your thoughts. “All they are hearing is from the anti spa people. They need to be convinced that the majority of people want SPA. “And don't forget the media,” she concludes. NOTE: this material was taken from the “Pro SPA” Facebook page, not sent to The News as a media release.

ALP deals further blow to SPA foreshore push LABOR would reject any inappropriate development on Rosebud foreshore such as the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, should the party win office at November’s state election. The controversial SPA proposal was incompatible with both ALP policy and Victorian Coastal Strategy guidelines, and as such would be opposed by the party, Labor candidate for Nepean Carolyn Gleixner revealed last week. The ALP would instead push for the project to go ahead an appropriate inland site, such as Wannaue Place or Boneo Rd. Ms Gleixner said the council should stop “crying over spilt milk” and get

on with the job of finalising plans for a more suitable location. “Given our new councillor in Red Hill Ward, the change-over of mayor in November and possibly a new CEO in the near future, it seems premature and a waste of ratepayers money to have engaged architects to design four SPA options for the foreshore, when it seems likely the plans will now have to be redrawn from scratch for another location,” Ms Gleixner said. She welcomed the recent council vote against locating the SPA complex on the Rosebud foreshore and said it was now time councillors accepted the verdict

and views of the community. It was also unclear how much of the $40 million estimated price tag for the SPA was related to construction of the pool complex itself, and how was due to cost blow-outs incurred by the proposed foreshore location. Locating the SPA at Wannaue Place – or on land adjacent to the shire offices on Boneo Rd – could deliver the same outcomes at a much lower cost, despite the inflated price council paid for the land, Ms Gleixner said. “Most people are accepting that council may have paid more than it should for Wannaue Place, but see no point in

trying to cover this up or crying over spilt milk,” she said. “There is considerable community confusion about why the council is persisting in trying to win out on the Rosebud foreshore location.” Despite council forecasts of an operating profit for the aquatic centre and associated businesses operating within the complex, Ms Gleixner said members of the community she had spoken with remained sceptical, pointing to the example of the Pelican Pantry Pool complex at Hastings, which she said was burning a $1 million hole in the council’s bottom line each year. But she said an

appropriate centre at the right location represented a “fabulous opportunity” for the southern peninsula to generate business opportunities and jobs for the community. “Many people I spoke to said they would love a Rosebud version of Federation Square in Wannaue Place, including a new community hall, and the SPA with a 50 meter pool, if the need is proven. That would bring people from everywhere to enjoy the unique coastal town qualities of Rosebud and guarantee flow-on benefits to local shops, the cinema and the local library.” Chris Brennan

Dog ahoy! Staffy sets course for Mornington

Learning tradition LYNNE Alexandra gives Pohurihanja Waru some creative tips at the BayMob indigenous health and education expo in Frankston last week. More than 300 people visited the expo at Monash University’s peninsula campus in Frankston on Friday to enjoy a wide range of free entertainment, workshops, information seminars and creative activities aimed at promoting health, education and wellbeing opportunities available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the Frankston and peninsula region. Picture Yanni

Aboriginal art goes on show ABORIGINAL artist Robert Austin will discuss and present Identity - a short film about his life’s journey, at the McClelland Gallery, Langwarrin, 11am-noon, Thursday 9 October. Austin was adopted early in life and is now reconnecting with his Wotjabaluk heritage. Baluk Arts manager Tracey-Lea Smith will also talk about the arts centre and show some of its works and achievements from the past five years. The gallery is at 390 McClelland Drive, Langwar-

rin. The event is free. To RSVP call 9789 1671. And, in conjunction with the Archibald Prize now showing at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Baluk Arts presents Gawang II - an exhibition of Aboriginal portraits by award winning artists Ray Thomas, Lisa Waup and Bea Edwards. Gawang II is described as a great way to learn about different Aboriginals, their lives and characters. The exhibition is from 2-4pm, Saturday 11 October, at Baluk Arts, 6 Bruce St, Mornington.

LAST week’s wild weather prompted many calls to Sorrento SES for help, but the most interesting occurred at 7pm on the Sunday. Sorrento SES’s David Lammers takes up the story: “The carer of a client with a support dog, a Staffordshire terrier, rang in a panic to say the dog had decided to go for a swim at the east end of Safety Beach in the leash free area. “The dog had then started swimming around the point towards Mornington! “The carer panicked and called us for help. Our duty officer called Coastguard - which informed us they could not help so nine of our members went on a searchand-rescue mission for the missing Staffy. “Soon after going out we got a call saying the dog had been located – at Pebble Cove, near Ellerina Rd Mt Martha - but the carer was very thankful for our support in her time of need.” It had obviously given up on making it all the way to Mornington. While most of last week’s calls came through during Tuesday’s storm, Sorrento SES was still able to send two crews to neighbouring unit Frankston and complete 15 jobs for them. “It’s fantastic that we can band together as a service - and even inter-agency - to help each other when needed,” Mr Lammers said. Sorrento SES invites new members to join the team and help the community. Those interested should phone 0448 005 806 or email david.lammers.members@ ses.vic.gov.au

Hockey tops: Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club’s Vic League 2 Reserves team celebrates its win.

Falcons swoop on flags, promotion WINNING two premierships were only part of Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club’s recent achievements. The club also won promotion in the Men’s Vic League 2 and Reserves grades and was runners up in the Over 45 Masters team. Next year these teams will battle it out in Vic League 1 and Vic League 1 Reserves and, potentially, in the A grade Over 45 Masters. All three finals were of a high standard and the future is bright for the club, with another two other men’s, a women’s and two junior teams

also making finals,” vice president Cheryle Bishop said. “With the growth in junior and masters selections, something is definitely going right.” Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club – nicknamed the Falcons - also had more than 20 players selected for regional, state and national representative duties. Next season, for the first time, the club’s men’s and women’s teams will compete at the Vic League1 level within the Hockey Victoria

competition. It is also a year of celebration as Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club celebrates its 20th season of developing local hockey talent and providing a family friendly environment. Full details about the celebrations will be available in the New Year. Those interested in joining the club should contact Ms Bishop on 9766 7478 or via info@ mphc.org.au Summer hockey programs will begin soon.

Parties to debate port merits Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE two main political parties have agreed to public debates in Hastings and Geelong over the site for Victoria’s next major port. The Liberal-led government is spending $110 million to clear the way for expanding the Port of Hastings, while Labor says the next container port should be near Geelong, the socalled Bay West proposal. Both projects will require dredging and land-based infrastructure. A report commissioned by seven councils in south east Melbourne puts the total cost of the port at $16 billion. Successive governments have previously put the cost at $11 billion without revealing the cost of other infrastructure, such as roads and rail lines. Estimates of job creation vary widely, with Melbourne’s next port likely to be highly computerised. Transportation of containers by road and rail is a divisive issue, with critics claiming most cargoes need to go to the west of Melbourne. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi entered the political arena in August, calling Labor’s Bay West proposal “fundamentally flawed”. Describing Hastings as “the only operational deep water port capable of accommodating the larger container ships currently being constructed and used worldwide”, Cr Celi said the amount of dredging needed for Bay West “just doesn’t stack up”. No estimates have been made public on the amount of dredging needed in

Western Port. And with less than two months to go before the Saturday 29 November state election, South East Melbourne councils’ group is also lobbying for Hastings. The report commissioned by the councils – Mornington Peninsula, Frankston, Kingston, Casey, Greater Dandenong, Cardinia and Bass Coast sees the port as a bonanza for jobs and manufacturing. The report says the port would have a beneficial economic impact of an average of $60 million a year in gross regional product over 30 years; providing an average 400 jobs a year over that same time frame. It says the expanded port would lead to an extra 5700 jobs by the mid-2030s and 15,200 jobs by the early 2050s. Frankston Council, a member of the group, is touting itself as the commercial hub of an expanded Port of Hastings. The one-hour long debates between Ports Minister David Hodgett and Labor’s ports, freight and logistics spokeswoman Natalie Hutchins will be in Geelong on Monday 6 October and a week later at Hastings, Monday 13 October. The two parties have been bickering over the format of the debate, with Labor claiming Mr Hodgett did not want to be questioned by the public and the minister in turn accusing Labor leader Dan Andrews of “acting like door security” and taking over arrangements from Ms Hutchins staff. "Since that time various proposals have gone back and forth from my office to Dan Andrews' office to try

and arrange what I believe should be a proper debate between myself and Ms Hutchins around port policies,” Mr Hodgett said. "It has become abundantly clear that the Opposition leader's office is trying to avoid a debate, or turn it into a town hall style meeting that can easily be high-jacked by stacking the room with branch members and supporters. "I have made it clear from the start that we want a debate between the politicians, so that both sides can present their policies and the community can make up their own minds. Ms Hutchins agreed to this request.” Labor issued a news release welcoming the “long-overdue debates … about the future location of the state’s next container port”. “Labor initially proposed to allow questions from the floor, but David Hodgett wouldn’t let the community participate,” Ms Hutchins said. “The communities of Hastings and Geelong are keen to asked questions on the jobs and environmental impacts of the Napthine government’s decision and we hope that Minister Hodgett is prepared to answer them. “If David Hodgett can’t answer serious questions about Hastings, then it’s not a serious option.” Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who has criticised The News for not doing indepth analysis of the Bay West proposal, said there is no proposal for him to assess regarding the Port of Hastings, “but if one were put forward, it would have to be assessed by what is likely to be one of Australia’s most comprehensive environmental impact statements under federal law”.

In relation to concerns that the state government may be able to give the go ahead to expanding the Port of Hastings under the federal government’s proposed ‘one-stop shop’ laws, Mr Hunt said this could “only be established where a state or territory can satisfy me that they will meet statutory standards”. “The one-stop shop will not only deliver approximately $420 million in direct benefits to business every year, but will result in better environmental outcomes,” Mr Hunt said.

Port updates THE Port of Hastings Development Authority is holding “drop-in” community information sessions to provide updates on the progress of surveys and planning to expand the port. Authority CEO Mike Lean has given assurances that there will be many opportunities for community involvement over the next three to four years. “Our information sessions planned for October are a great opportunity for the community to talk one on one with members of the project team and find out the latest updates on the project. “By listening to the community and undertaking careful and detailed planning, we are seeking the best outcome for Victoria.” The drop-in sessions will be held at: Tyabb, 4pm Wednesday 8 October, Tyabb Community Hall, 1535 Frankston-Flinders Rd, Tyabb Mornington, 4pm Wednesday 15 October, The studio@PCT, 91 Wilsons Road, Mornington.

LETTERS Sensitive plan

Men’s business: Peninsula Club social venue manager Peter Dern, centre rear in white shirt and dark glasses, presents a $5000 cheque to Safety Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed members.

Peninsula Club mans up with shed grant SAFETY Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed received a welcome boost last week thanks to a $5000 donation from the Peninsula Club. The shed’s treasurer, Rick Plummer, said the windfall would help finance much-needed renovations to the community group’s Dromana home base. The grant was made possible thanks to a community fund established by the Western Bulldogs’ owned Peninsula Club, with the Men’s Shed one of a number of beneficiaries on the peninsula. Mr Plummer said that, thanks to the Peninsula Club’s largesse, the Safety Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed would be able to upgrade its home at the Don Bosco Camp in Dromana and expand creative opportunities for members. “This donation will be put to very good use; it will allow us to update our well utilised equipment so we can continue to work on projects benefiting our community,� Mr Plummer

said. “Our Men’s Shed members use the facility to participate in community projects as well as having an outlet for networking and creating great friendships.� Peninsula Club social venue manager Peter Dern praised the work undertaken by the Men’s Shed movement in providing opportunities for older males to enjoy a creative outlet while building stronger social bonds. “The Men’s Shed as an overall organisation is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of men in our community and offers a much needed, and well utilised service,� Mr Dern said. The Peninsula Club has forged close bonds with local community groups since opening in December 2010 and provides a home to the Dromana-Red Hill RSL sub-branch. It was established when the Western Bulldogs agreed to buy the financially troubled RSL sub-branch in September 2010.

I would like to help clarify some community concerns regarding the proposal to develop the Quarantine Station precinct at Point Nepean National Park. While our community has had the opportunity to provide feedback on this specific proposal since 31 July, we should keep in mind that this follows up to 20 years of detailed and ongoing community discussions on the use of the park. Further community consultations held in 2012 produced the Point Nepean Quarantine Station Sustainable Use Framework plan, as well as the Point Nepean National Park master plan. These documents explicitly endorse sensitive development from either public or external investment in this precinct that, as outlined in the master plan, "contribute to long term maintenance and sustainability of the Quarantine Station buildings". The community can rest assured that the process undertaken by the government is entirely consistent with both these documents and therefore has been fully sensitive to community concerns over many years. Like all private and public sector lease discussions, by law they must remain commercial in confidence in nature so it is inappropriate for anyone to speculate on the final terms of the lease. Notwithstanding, I can assure the community that any development at Point Nepean will be utterly consistent with both the Quarantine Station Sustainable Use Framework plan and Point Nepean National Park master plan. Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Review material

I refer to one of Cr Tim Wood's statements (‘Red Hill gets a voice’, The News 26/8/14) "SPA needs to be comprehensively reviewed". As existing printing documents are available I draw his attention to the following: 1. Council agenda 9 December 2013 page 5 paragraphs 3 and 5. “The need for an indoor aquatic centre on the southern peninsula was first identified by council in May 2000 as part of its Indoor Feasibility Study. The shire has engaged a range of independent experts and consultants to ensure that council and the community have had

access to the best available information on each aspect of the proposed project.� In other words, experts in their fields. 2 Council agenda 9 December 2013 pages 50/51, list 48 reference documents and 33 reference reports {which] add up to approximately 1302 pages of reports (indexes and photos included) paid for by ratepayers. My question to Cr Wood is simply "to be comprehensively reviewed by whom�. The following is interesting: List of consultants engaged on SPA since 2000 - seven pages; Rosebud Memorial Hall Rejuvenation Report - June 2013 - 10 pages; SPA Feasibility Update October 2013 - 53 pages; Rosebud Coastal Management Plan January 2012 - approved by Minister for Environment and Climate Change - 79 pages; Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Health and Wellbeing Plan 2013 - 240 pages. Best of luck to “whom�, who has a considerable amount of comprehensive material to undertake the review. Betty Preston, Rosebud West

Contrary views

With all respect to Wendy Lovell, the state Liberal Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development, the Labor candidate for Nepean Ms Carolyn Gleixner’s facts are not wrong (‘Labor wrong’, Letters, The News 30/9/14). The Liberals at state and federal level both cut funding for kinders in their 2014 budgets and left them with an uncertain future. A short term, one could say election motivated stop-gap, with no ongoing guarantee leaves parents in a very difficult and distressing situation. How would you feel if you had a child due to start kinder next year and did not know if there was going to be a place for your child, whether you could afford it, whether you should or could apply for part time work as the hours might clash, or how to arrange child care for any other children (with family day care also cut)? Obfuscating the situation with blame shifting political tit for tat jargon does not cut it for kinder parents trying to juggle the future and do the best for their kids. Aija Dowling, Flinders

Walking to school loses weight, adds confidence WALKING to school: It’s something we used to take for granted. But, with easy access to cars, anxiety about stranger-danger, and laziness, today’s children are usually driven. It’s not an ideal situation, as a statistic by VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter, illustrates: “Our children are now among the world’s least physically active,” she said. “In the 1960s one-in-20 children was obese yet today it’s one-in-four.” To help address this disparity, 14 local primary schools will take part in VicHealth’s Walk to School activities this month. Those participating are Bittern, Crib Point, Eastbourne, Hastings, Kunyung, Mornington, Mt Eliza North, Mt Martha, Osborne, Somers, Sorrento, St Thomas Moore, Tootgarook and Tyabb Railway. Mornington Peninsula Shire is working with the schools to coordinate Walk to School activities with the support of VicHealth. The activities will encourages primary school pupils to walk (or ride, scoot or skate) to and from school as often as possible throughout October.

Mayor Cr Antonella Celi said Walk to School highlights the benefits of walking: improving health and fitness, increasing social connections and confidence in walking. And, it also helps take care of our environment by reducing car emissions. Ms Rechter said children who walk to and from school build healthy lifelong habits, become more familiar with their neighbourhoods and make new friends with other local children. “One of the first steps to combat this worrying trend is to encourage kids to walk as often as they can, particularly walking to and from school - instead of being driven,” she said. “Last year, 30,000 students from more than 300 primary schools in Victoria joined us for Walk to School, walking more than 410,000 kilometres in total. With Mornington Peninsula Shire on board, we hope to exceed those numbers this year,” she said. Parents are encouraged to help children record their walks using classroom calendars or the Walk to School website and app. Details: walktoschool.vic.gov.au

Callous theft leaves charity high and dry Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A BOAT used by a charity organisation to take disabled and disadvantaged people out on Port Phillip and Western Port for fishing experiences has been stolen from a Frankston marine outlet where it was undergoing repairs. Police are perplexed at the callous theft of the 5.8 metre Streaker Savage half-cabin vessel and tandem trailer it was sitting on from the locked yard of Robbie Marine Products in Tooyal St last weekend. The boat and trailer, which are owned by the Introfish charity organisation and valued at about $30,000, had been securely stored at the rear of the Robbie Marine Products yard behind padlocked gates after undergoing repair work when it was stolen over the evening of Friday 26 September and the following morning. Staff arrived at 8.30am on Saturday to find the front gates open, with the thieves apparently having used bolt cutters to remove the sturdy padlock securing the premises. The Introfish boat was the only vessel missing, despite there being many other more valuable – and more easily accessible – vessels on the premises, Robbie Marine Products proprietor David Robertson said. Work on repairing two holes in the boats’ fibreglass hull had just been completed when the theft occurred, Mr Robertson said. The work had been carried out free of charge to assist the charity, he added. “It would have taken considerable effort to break in and haul that particular boat out,” Mr Robertson said. “It’s hard to understand how any-

one would do such a thing, targetting a boat that’s owned by charity.” Introfish founder and president Paul Bennett said the boat had only recently been purchased by the charity organisation and was undergoing a series of repairs to get it seaworthy. The charity usually operates out of the Patterson River at Carrum, taking special needs youth out on Port Phillip for fishing expeditions along the peninsula, as well as Hastings and Stony Point for outings on Western Port, depending on the season. “We’ve been hiring boats to take people out fishing for about six years but we recently bought the boat after borrowing $12,000 from a friend who’s battling cancer and wanted to do something to help our group,” Mr Bennett said. “We were able to get it at a good price because it was a bit run down and needed a fair amount of work done to get it ready,” Mr Bennett said. “That was all finished and we were going to take out on the water for the first time within a matter of days, so it’s really upsetting for this to have happened now after all the hard work we’ve put in.” Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb from Frankston police said the boat carried clear signage identifying it as belonging to the charity organisation, making the theft all the more unsavoury. “It is not just any boat, it’s used to take disadvantaged and disabled children out on the water, and it was clearly marked with logos, so it would take a particularly heartless person, or persons, to have stolen it,” Senior Sergeant Lamb said. “The front of the premises was secured with cyclone fencing and a double gate locked with 18-20 millimetre chain and padlock, which was cut, so it would have taken a determined effort

to break in and steal the boat. “It’s hard to imagine what would motivate these people to commit such a callous offence.” Mr Bennett, an experienced angling instructor, founded Introfish about four years ago and the charity has quickly grown in popularity among parents, carers and organisations looking to provide meaningful and fulfilling experiences for a wide variety of “special needs” people. But the inspiration for the charity came from the birth of his third child 12 years earlier in 2002. Despite his new-born son being diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Mr Bennett had hoped to teach

him the joys of angling as he grew up. Tragically, that wish was never to eventuate, with his son dying after just a few weeks of life. However, he pursued his idea of the therapeutic and social benefits fishing could provide to special needs young people, and Introfish has steadily grown in popularity, to the point that the organisation had finally purchased its own boat. “The theft has certainly hit us hard, but we’ll bounce back,” Mr Bennett said. Anyone with information that could help recover the boat is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Safety rules with ‘red fever’ 12m), squid are still strong over the weed beds and shallow reefs (2-4m), the deep waters are holding gummy sharks and flathead are consistent over the sand (8-14m). The whiting are still a little slow and reports are patchy, although I think this is more due to most anglers concentrating on snapper. For those that are land locked the next 4-6 weeks is your peak time to bag a snapper. Early season snapper follow the old fault lines up the bay, these paths take them quite close to shore, while rough conditions are favoured by many, don't push the limits. If you're fishing off the rocks, don't go alone.

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro EACH year tens of thousands of Melbournians venture out onto the bays – Port Phillip and Western Port - in search of big red. Many are season veterans, many greenhorns all sharing the waters, all with the same goal. Anglers get caught up in the "red fever" and take risks, risks that are avoidable. Whenever you venture out on the water you're entering a potential unknown. The trick to safe boating and fishing is reducing the unknown. Weather reports should be checked, tides known, local hazards acknowledged, safety gear inspected and boat maintenance in order. The water is not a place for risks. I always say to my clients it's best to wish you were on the water than to wish you weren't. Spring can bring some big weather fronts and storms, take care and be aware. Early season snapper continue to be all the hype, but the season is young and anglers shouldn't forget about other species. It's rare, but at the moment the same fishing report can be given for both bays. Snapper are holding over the deeper reefs (6-

Mother pleads for end to ‘coward punch’ carnage From page 1 Closter then stood over Mr Cassai, bouncing on his toes like a victorious boxer. In the meantime, Closter’s two friends joined the attack, targeting Mr Cassai’s friends and calling out “Welcome to Rye, c---.” The onslaught was over in less than a minute. Mr Cassai would never gain consciousness after hitting his head on the pavement and fracturing his skull. Ms Politi said he son had done all he could to avoid the confrontation, but didn’t stand a chance. “He wasn't a threat to Dylan Closter,” she said. “David's friends weren't a threat to anyone that night. They had just been out to celebrate a birthday and they just wanted to get home. They were ambushed and they had no chance.” In sentencing Closter, Justice Hollingworth said the tragic incident was entirely of his making. “The affray involved a violent, frightening and completely unprovoked attack by you and members of your group on another group, in the middle of the night, on a public street, at a busy time of year. “In the space of less than a minute, multiple punches had been thrown, one man was dead and five others were injured.” She said that while Closter had handed himself in to police, he had done so only out of pragmatism rather than genuine remorse due to the number of witnesses and CCTV footage of the incident. Closter initially claimed he had acted in selfdefence, and only changed to his plea to guilty at the last minute on the day of the trial. Ms Politi said her son’s death had left his family and friends shattered. “David survived his red Ps, he survived bun-

gee jumping and skydiving in New Zealand, cave diving in Europe and now, in the town of Rye, where he spent many years at his father’s home ... it all came to a tragic end,” she told the court in a victim impact statement. She later told supporters via a posting on a Facebook page set up to campaign for stronger sentencing for “coward punch” attacks that she felt let down by the justice system. “Dealing with David's death has been excruciating enough but the long drawn out court process has been just as painful,” she said. “We started this whole process at the Magistrates Court with a committal mention, a seven-day committal hearing, then moving to the Supreme Court for directions hearings, arraignments, adjourned directions hearings due to funding issues, one postponed trial, a plea hearing … sentencing, new trial dates. “How much can we take? This whole process has only served to remind us of our immense grief and loss. It has been like having salt rubbed into our open wounds and it's all about the offender. “For the judge to accept he is remorseful is totally unacceptable to me. I would accept remorse if Closter pleaded guilty within the first few months, but after 19 months and all the above, I don't believe it. “CCTV footage told the story that night. Closter's free defense, funded by legal aid, allowed him the luxury of dragging this on.” She asked that the community “keeps the conversation going” to help stop “these violent, unprovoked assaults, angry attitudes and a total disregard and disrespect for others”. “We need your support to continue our campaign that one punch can and DOES kill and if it doesn't can cause catastrophic, long term injuries.”

Peninsula Health Medical Imaging An interview with Andrew Bickell Andrew Bickell is the Operations Director of Medical Imaging at Peninsula Health. He is responsible for the overall delivery of medical imaging services at Frankston and Rosebud Hospital.

What about the weekends? We offer an x-ray service on the weekends at Frankston Hospital.

Firstly, thank you for your time today to give us an insight into what Peninsula Health is offering the wider medical community with respect to medical imaging services.

Is there a long waiting list for test? General X-ray, OPG, DEXA and some CT scans do not have a long wait list and they can usually be done without and appointment on the same day. As always there are exceptions to the rule as some tests can be very complex, again if you require any information about your tests please call us on (03) 9788 4506.

What services are being offered to our outpatient community? Frankston Hospital is our main site which has comprehensive Medical Imaging department services offering wide variety of services such as: 1. General X-ray; 2. Dental Imaging (OPG and Lateral Cephalogram); 3. Bone Densitometry; 4. CT scanning; 5. MRI scanning; 6. Ultrasound; 7. Nuclear Medicine and 8. Interventional services.

Do I need to make an appointment? General X-ray, OPG, DEXA and CT scans generally do not require an appointment, if you require any information about your tests please call us on (03) 9788 4506.

Healthy Living Snoring is not just annoying, it is a serious health risk SLEEP apnoea affects the way you breathe when you’re sleeping. In untreated sleep apnoea, breathing is briefly interrupted or becomes very shallow during sleep. These breathing pauses typically last between 10 to 20 seconds and can occur up to hundreds of times a night. This jolts you out of your natural sleep rhythm. As a consequence, you spend more time in light sleep and less time in the deep, restorative sleep you need to be energetic, mentally sharp, and productive the next day. This chronic sleep deprivation results in daytime sleepiness, slow reflexes, poor concentration, and an increased risk of accidents. Sleep apnoea can also lead to serious health problems over time, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and weight gain. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders. OSA affects about 25 per cent of adult males and 10 per cent of adult females (although most affected individuals do not complain of daytime sleepiness). The South Eastern Private Hospital has a Sleep Centre for the diagnosis and treatment of this common condition. Sleep Physician Dr Michael Ho says “while home testing is available it has limitations and is often inconclusive for those with milder symptoms. If unsupervised the leads used for capturing the signal can fall off in the night. This ends in the data being disrupted” He added that many of those “home tested’ will still have to follow up with an overnight sleep study for more accurate results any way. Neil Henderson (CEO of The Valley Private and South Eastern Hospitals) has been a patient at the Sleep Centre. Mr Henderson said it has changed his life. “I used to fell like falling asleep driving to and from work, at the office and was constantly fatigued. My energy levels have improved significantly since my diagnosis

Women unite in pink to promote women’s health and treatment” he said The STOP test consists of 4 questions and is a simple way to find out if you are at high or low risk of OSA. If you answer yes to 2 or more questions you are at high risk! Snoring – do you snore loudly (louder than talking or loud enough to be heard through closed door)? Tired- do you often feel tired, fatigued or sleepy during the day? Observed -has anyone observed you stop breathing during your sleep? Blood Pressure- do you have or are you being treated for high blood pressure? With the right treatment you can control the symptoms, get your sleep back on track, and start enjoying life again. Ask your GP for a referral to the South Eastern Private Sleep Clinic, for most patients there is no out of pocket expenses. You will be admitted post your work day and discharged after breakfast the next morning. See www.southeasternprivate.com.au or call 9549 6555.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Delays as newspaper staff off to the war Compiled by Cameron McCullough WE have been compelled to hold over correspondence from Somerville and Hastings and other matter till our next issue, owing to the majority of our staff having enlisted for the war, and for the same reason we have to apologise for appearing a day late this week. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next. *** AT the last meeting of the First Aid, held some days ago, a hearty vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Maxwell for his course of interesting and instructive lectures which he had delivered. *** WE would remind our readers of the Percy Blundell Concert to be held in the Hastings Hall on Friday next, when he will be ably assisted by Miss Rosa Alba, Rosa Walton and Mr Warnecke. A combination of no mean order, and as ten per cent of the proceeds are to be devoted to the Patriotic Fund there will be a bumper house, to give a warm welcome to these artists. *** SPECIAL Home Mission Services will be held in the Frankston Methodist Church Circuit during next week, commencing on Sunday, when Sister Bessie (the deputation) will preach at Frankston, Langwarrin and Somerville in the morning, afternoon and evening respectively. Meetings will he held in the different centres during the week, places and dates being advertised in another column.

*** THE Home Mission Fund collection at St Paul’s Church Frankston was a great success. With money previously collected by Miss Picking for the fund the total came to £11 1s, which is more than last year’s collection and nearly up to the best previous collection, that of 1912. *** A VERY hardworking bee met at Seaford on Saturday, to paint the Seaford hall and Church. At the and of the day the whole was covered with the best red oxide, picked out with white lead. Many of the amateurs showed a great facility for painting their faces and hands, as well as for covering their clothes with spots. Of those who are not permanent residents at Seaford we should mention Messrs Reg. Coulson and Fred Woolnough, who helped with expert advice and expert work, also Mr Brady and a friend who worked untiringly. Mrs Latimerand Mrs W. Wilson looked after the commissariat. *** THE total money taken at the St Paul’s Club presentation of “Who’s Who?” for the Patriotic Fund was £5 10s, being door £5 8s, and one subscription 2s from Dr Maxwell. The expenses were 11s for printing and 19s for miscellaneous expenses, including hire of properties. Thus there was £4 profit, which has been handed to the Treasurer of the Patriotic Fund. *** THE members of the Dromana Sports Club are notified in our advertising column that the annual meeting of the

above Club will be held in the Dromana Hall on Friday night Oct. 16th. The committee are considering the advisability of holding the next race meeting on the racecourse near Moores corner, on Boxing Day the 26th of December. *** The Kaiser. The figure standing out from all others in Europe today is William II, Emperor of Germany – a man who has held the peace of Europe in the palm of his hand for the last ten years. He came into the world with the brightest prospects. He was the eldest son of an eldest daughter, his mother being the eldest child of the late Queen Victoria. Through this relationship he has claimed, since he was eight years of age, that he is the rightful heir to the throne of Britain. Authorities claim that his position rests upon a solid foundation, and there can be no doubt that his assistant war-lords have incited his ambition in this direction to the over balancing point in which he is poised today. As a boy, too, his insatiable hatred for Britain was very marked. His mother tried again and again to induce him to go to England for a holiday, and enter into the family life of his cousins. But, no, these entreaties only brought forth jeers and contempt for his mother’s aims, and finally he told her he would go there as King of England; but, first, he would be crowned in Paris as King of France. Naturally, his mother was made very unhappy by this attitude towards the

land of her birth. She and her husband, the late Emperor Frederick, sought council in the matter, and it was determined to procure one of the most distinguished English tutors, whose main task would be to impress their young hopeful with the laws of primogeniture and laws of heredity, particularly, William was not long in discovering the objective of his new tutor, and then commenced a warfare of debate. Young as he was, he gave his English tutor chapter and verse of English history, from the days of the Norman Conquest up to that moment. He also told his tutor – a solid Englishman with English traditions – that the English were not English at all, and that England was conquered by a Frenchman. He also said that he could see the day when France and England would fight side by side to wrest his German Dominions from him. One day when he worked himself into a terrific passion with his tutor over this burgeoning question, his mother entered the room. It was the first chance he had of speaking to his mother and tutor together. He thundered these words at them. “You will never impress me, nor would all the world, against what I believe. My mother is the eldest daughter of England’s Queen, and I am my mother’s eldest son, and I will sit on that throne, with the help of God and my right arm, even if the world be bathed in blood to accomplish it.” Needless to add, his mother’s heart-

strings were torn by such display but she bravely beseeched him to, curb his warlike spirit, and reminded him there had been enough French and German blood spilt already to last through his lifetime. The English tutor resigned immediately, adding that Prince William’s mind was like a smouldering volcano, with terrible possibilities if ever he were possessed of power. The next action, which was a powerful searchlight on his character, was when he was crowned Emperor. His jealousy of Bismarck was well known, and now was the time to humiliate and degrade the man who had federated Germany with such success that the French lay mangled in the dirt. He sent for the Iron Chancellor, stripped him of his orders and offices, and ordered him into retirement. Meetings of protest were held all over Germany, but Bismarck consoled himself by quoting the proverb, “The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small.” From the day of his coronation to this he has made the world record his daily movements, but when the settling up comes, the meanest savage in all Central Africa would not change places with him. As a worker and a thinker, he scarcely has a rival; in fact, he was conquering the world through education, industry and peace. Now, a dark pall of despair is laid over unhappy Germany. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 10 October, 1914.

Et tu, U2? Betrayal by a mega band By Stuart McCullough IT’S hard not to take it personally. Irish rock group U2 decided to spam pretty much all of Western Civilization with their latest album by dumping it onto people’s iTunes accounts for free, whether they wanted it or not. They’ve unloaded it on pretty much everyone in the world – except me. Granted, it’s a huge exercise and my exclusion could be a mere oversight rather than a deliberate campaign to exile me from the broader pop cultural universe forever, but given a choice between accident and conspiracy, I choose the latter. There are many potential explanations. But like a fully cooked piece of ravioli, there’s one that has floated to the surface and is ready to eat – U2 have refused to give me their album for that most obvious of reasons: jealousy. It’s little wonder. Whilst this petty envy could be a reaction to my towering musical genius, I suspect that’s just part of it. Allow me to explain – U2’s singer, Bono, is generally credited with inventing the mullet. However, a more forensic examination of history would reveal that I also contributed much to this crucial area of research. When the Nobel Prize for Science is awarded to those responsible for breakthrough developments in dodgy haircuts, Bono won’t want to share the honours. It’s a pity they hate me, especially when we have so much in common. Like U2, I was in a band during my high school years. Being in a group was something I and my mullet took extremely seriously. At that time, U2 weren’t quite the globe-conquering mega band they are today; more like a cult. They inspired us, I think, at

least a little. Truth be told, we probably aspired to be U2 but fell short at around the Pseudo Echo / Flock of Seagulls mark. Starting a band is a curious thing. You can be in a band and never actually do anything. Unless, of course, you have an upcoming gig. It would have been 1987. We had just a few short weeks to prepare for our debut, live on the Balnarring foreshore. It required not only a lot of songwriting but an intensive period of rehearsals also. I’d never played so much in my life. There was so much to do but so little time. My voice was strained; my fingers, nothing but flaccid pieces of flesh hanging from the end of

Mornington News 7 October 2014

my wrist. But somewhere in those countless, sweaty hours of practice we learned how to work as a group. Before we knew it, Saturday night was upon us. I’m not sure what the campers at Balnarring beach had done to deserve us. It’s a question that they would (doubtless) have asked themselves as we plugged in and unleashed our rock and roll assault. At the time, things just seemed to fall into place. However when I think about it now, the night must have required loads of co-operation from adults to make it happen. They’d acquired a great PA system, complete with foldback speakers and a huge mixing desk. The

stage was, in actual fact, the back of a truck. There’s a lot to be said for performing on the back of a very large vehicle. To set up, all you have to do is park. Also, had the whole thing suddenly turned pear-shaped, we’d have the option of making our escape by simply driving away. I also recall that there was no shortage of advice. These pearls of wisdom included making sure the members of the band spent time away from each other before the big gig. This was supposedly for the purpose of quiet reflection but probably to ensure the adults had a chance to set up the p.a., mixing desk and microphones without interference. I used

my time wisely; sitting on a bunch of pine needles, hoping the voice I’d so comprehensively strained over the past few days would return and I’d stop sounding like a stomped-on bullfrog. Soon enough, it was time. We were helped onto the stage / truck (it was a lot higher than you might think) and began to share our original compositions with a group of kids and surly teenagers that had congregated around the play equipment and coin operated barbecues. Last week, I listened to that performance for the first time in more than twenty years. To my surprise, the audience sounds enthused. So do we. Sure, the songs are rudimentary and there are a few moments that, with the benefit of a little more experience, we’d not repeat (drum solo, anyone?) but we sound like a band. As I remember it now, the whole thing was a great success. Our performance came to an end as the sun went down. There was no choice – we had plenty of high-tech sound equipment, but nothing in the way of lighting. It strikes me that I’m being unfair to Bono, the Edge, Larry and the other one whose name presently eludes me. Perhaps the fault lies neither in our stars nor even in my iPod but in myself. I shouldn’t be expecting them to give me their album without offering them something in return. I could send some more recent efforts, but they’re too polished. Instead, I think I’ll send them our breakout performance from the Balnarring foreshore. It seems the fair thing to do. I hope U2 feel the same way. If not, I’ll just start up the truck and drive that sucker to safety. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Writer of milestone Australian songs such as So Young, Hit And Run, Shape I’m In, Hold On To Me, Harley and Rose, Chained To The Wheel, Never Let Me Go and the Chosen Ones, Camilleri has dedicated his life to making music. Leader of two of Australia’s most successful bands, Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons and The Black Sorrows, Joe’s music has become part of Australian music culture. Since 1984, The Black Sorrows have toured Australia more times than anyone can remember, played sell out shows across Europe, won the ARIA for Best Band‚ and sold more two million albums worldwide.

Performance ERIC Clapton (born Eric Patrick Clapp) was a stained glass window designer before he took on a career as a blues guitarist. Clapton was influenced by artists such as Muddy Waters, B.B King, Albert King and Elmore James. Eric’s real break came in 1963 when he joined The Yardbirds just in time for the first British invasion on the American rock and roll scene. Clapton only lasted 12 months in the band claiming The Yardbirds had become far too commercial. Three years later, in 1966, Robert Stigwood met jazz drummer Ginger Baker (Peter Baker) who was working with Alexis Korner and Scottish bass player Jack Bruce, who was working with Manfred Mann and matched them up with Clapton. The three agreed to work together under the band name Cream, and Stigwood produced their first single Wrapping Paper. Cream released their first album Fresh Cream in the US in 1967 which turned Gold thanks to the hit single I Feel Free. By the end of 1968 Cream was the top new band in the US with hits such as White Room written by Bruce/Baker, Crossroads, Badge, Strange Brew, Sunshine of Your Love and I Feel Free. Next month, Shock Entertainment will release Planes, Trains and Eric by Eric Clapton on DVD and Blu-ray. This is an intimate film documenting life on the road during part of his 2014 tour intercut with superb full length performances. The film features many classic tracks including Layla, Cocaine, Tears in Heaven, Crossroads, Wonderful Tonight, I Shot the Sherriff and more. Planes, Trains and Eric follows Eric Clapton and his band on the Far and Middle Eastern leg of his 2014 World Tour. The film features 13 full length performances from the tour intercut with interviews with Eric Clapton and the band members, rehearsal and soundcheck footage and many aspects of being on the road with Eric Clapton. The line-up of the band featured on the film is Eric Clapton (guitarvocals), Steve Gadd (drums), Paul

ever changing. My concern is not so much the obvious insularity of many Australians but moreso the way they embrace it; (read: ignore what’s happening). Yes, Joe gave us a dreadful budget (no surprise from this underperformer) but beautifully trumped by Tony’s aggressive approach to warmongering and playing up the dangers within our everyday society from mysterious European looking citizens, (read: Islamic radicalism). Thus they slip in new laws in the authoritarian sense supported by highly publicised raids, almost literally without comment. Bill Shorten checkmated, so far anyway. The grand finals of the two football codes closely followed by the Spring Racing Carnival, Christmas, sun, surf and barbeques serve as pleasant doses of Valium. “She’ll be right mate” clearly a thing of the past, but like global warming, the “not to worry” approach can have consequences. *** WE fast approach that time of year; Melbourne Cup Day through to February and the influx of holidays makers, including the smaller collection of ratbags, jet skis and swisho utes. Living alongside a block of two bedroom holiday units I’m biased. If they’re of Asian, Indian or Muslim parents I can expect a peaceful even-

ing. If it’s Aussie males or females I’m looking at possibly heavy music and swearing till 3am, unless I courageously bang on the fence around midnight to plead quiet, not always successfully. Thank God for Serepax. Some of our state pollies (both sides) get the cream, but think positive. If they’re up there lording it on champers and caviar during the Spring Racing Carnival, or the opera, the Grand Final et al they stay well away from our areas, Mentone to Sorrento. (They fly to Portsea. And all for free, invited no less. “How sweet it is”. With apologies to Jacky Gleason. *** THEY have meetings, in big rooms with important names: committeeroom, boardroom, even conferenceroom. The name means nothing. Cakes, coffee, tea, water and chocolate bikkies are available, possibly whisky if it’s after 10am. They have power laptops for access to all the financial trends; profit to turnover ratio and like stuff. They wear suits of course, unless they have the odd female on board. Banks, power companies, insurance companies, superannuation boards, supermarkets. They all imbibe. A conversation beforehand on golf swings before the real business. Sometimes a brilliant idea, like sending out letters telling

us of a percentage cut in our bills, or spending more to save less. It doesn’t matter what - as long as it convinces us things go better with coke, so to speak. All are furphies, designed to hide the underlying truth of all discussions, the bottom line. “How to extract that dollar out of our pockets and place it into theirs”. *** WE did not find that plane? We haven’t brought them all home, yet? Aha, now we apparently have an “achievable objective” in Iraq. Christopher Pyne: “We have the capabilities, and given we have these capabilities it would be wrong of us not to be involved”. Tell me readers, what is Tony’s upper class prefect saying? Reminds me of how officers were appointed in England in preparation for World War I. Class first, ability assumed. *** DOES ‘no’ mean ‘yes’? Apparently some men think so. With 40 years of marriage behind me I can say with certainty ‘no’ always meant no, and I have no trouble bringing to mind the odd time or two when I was glad of it. Before marriage when I had no idea of the next move anyway, during marriage as a respite, and now as a relaxing, occasionally frustrating memory. Strangely, when I said no,

John has had a busy year with a new album, release of his biography Hey True Blue, and the commencement of a major tour. About his new single Clouds over Tamworth, Williamson said: “It occurred to me that I had not heard a song about Tamworth that described its beautiful clouds and the flooding Peel River. I nearly called the song The Tower of Legends which is my imaginary tower that is made up of Australian song that have built our country music legacy”. www.johnwilliamson.com.au *** Hot on the heels of the continuing chart success of the very well received new song Broke Down Heart, Victorian country singer Doug Bruce has released his latest album offering Somewhere Better to Be. The album was officially launched at the Gympie Music Muster. Doug wrote ten tracks on the new 13 track album, which includes three co-writes. This is Doug’s fourth, selfproduced album, delivered from his recording facility Shoo Fly Studios. www.dougbruce.com.au

A Grain of Salt THE bias factor in AFL football and politics is to compare a shark to a sardine. Hawthorn friends suggest Buddy Franklin a Judas, accepting Brian Lake’s Western Bulldogs to Hawthorn with the rock solid reason as “that’s totally different”. Leaving aside the consistent misuse of the word “totally”, therein lies the problem. A physical fall is a pain, an infection calls for antibiotics but a sick mind is ignored. We count our opinions, our desires even, as right and obvious clear thinking; others are no doubt misinformed. “I’ll say my piece. If they don’t listen and learn more fool them.” A dozen people all waiting anxiously to voice sounds reasons on the subject at hand, carrying through to gossip generally, bad mouthing, the faults of others big and small; never occurring to the speaker of his/her deficiencies, which we all have. The Grand Final is over, wrong opinions forgotten, the victors repeated, (“I told you Hawthorn would win! Didn’t I tell you?” “I don’t remember?”). Previous opinions reverted to an even start. “Men ever count their own desires as right; those who think different are fools”. Remember those Mad comics and Alfred E Neumans’ words of wisdom-”What, me Worry?”. Times

the response could be very nasty. *** TO Daniel Andrews: Sack the person who suggested a public holiday on GF Day...So engrossed in an episode of Midsomer Murders I missed the game. Who won?...Amanda Vanstone said: “This is a time to show disdain for the shock-jocks and jingo-junkies who whip up rednecks with their rubbish”. I agree Amanda, but no mention of Tony Abbott?...Why assume Justice John Middleton is above reproach? Maybe he’s Collingwood supporter?....Sir Ken Jones as the next Federal Police Chief? Spare us... Chopping community television for ideological reasons? Whose ideals?... Out now at $1.95, a novel, Magpie Exodus ....

scoreboard

Piners open well in Provincial PROVINCIAL By IT Gully PINES starteded its season in Provincial cricket in strong fashion, beating Heatherhill by three wickets in the opening round of the season. The Piners have been the juggernaut of local cricket in the past three seasons, jumping from Sub District cricket to Provincial under the leadership of Ricky Ramsdale. On Saturday at Bruce Park, the new kids on the block sent the home side into bat after winning the toss. The Hills lost their first three wickets before the score had reached 20 and were six down before the score got to 60. Thankfully, Steven O’Donnell flew the flag for the Hills, helping his side get to 134 in its 40 overs. Matt Bishop was the only other player to score double figures with 25. Pines quick, Brett Remy, who has saddled up for yet another season, was superb with 2/6 from eight overs. The unlikely damager was part-time

off-spinner Jake Prosser, who snared 3/38. Pines had five former Langwarrin players in their team on Saturday (Ramsdale, Jeremy Weare, Prosser and recruits, Alex and Jarred Coad). In reply, the Piners got the runs with three overs to spare. Ramsdale top scored with 47, Harley Peace-Sterling made 31 and Weare was not out 23. Brett Maxwell was the best of the Hills’ bowlers with 4/46 from 10 overs. Long Island completed the expected and got the job done against Crib Point. The Magpies had a few players underdone, including Luke Herrington, who didn’t bowl a ball. Islanders skipper Simon Dignan was superb in his first game at his new club, scoring 30 and snaring 1/21 off seven overs. The Islanders batted first and made a modest 151 in its 40 overs. Scott Phillips top scored with 31 while Peter Connell made a solid contribution at the end of the innings with 24.

Glenn Barclay was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers with 4/37 from ten overs, while Brad Davidson snared 3/35. In reply, opener Henry Dolphin top scored for the Magpies with 31 while new Crib Point coach Rob Hearn also batted well with 31. However, the Islanders’ bowling was tight and disciplined and the home side couldn’t break the shackles. In the end, Crib Point fell short of the target by 23 runs, despite having three wickets in hand and batting out their 40 overs. Baxter recruit Joe Rule made an immediate impression at his new club with an unbeaten 115 in his sides strong win against Moorooduc. Rule, who crossed from Heatherhill, belted eight fours and eight sixes in his knock, while at the other end, Dale Irving clubbed 55, including four sixes. The Ducs looked a big chance to get the total throughout their innings, however, fell 12 runs short (7/207). Sri Lankan speedster Chamika Sattambri was modest in his first

game for Baxter with 1/40 from eight overs. It was home grown Leigh Paterson with 3/27 from six overs who had the biggest impact with the ball for Baxter. Mornington got its season away to a flier with a solid 31 run win over rival Mt Eliza. Both clubs have recruited well over the summer, however, it was the reigning premiers, Mornington, that were able to pick up the win in the opening game off the season. The Doggies won the toss and batted first, scoring 8/162. Matt Foon top scored with 72 for the Dogs, while Lyle House took 5/47 for the Mounties with the ball. The Dogs then bowled out the Mounties in the 37th over for 131. Craig Entwistle top scored for his new club with 60, while Luke Popov and Brodie Symons picked-up 4/21 and 4/43 respectively. Peninsula Old Boys started their season just the way they wanted after an ordinary 2013/14, knocking over last year’s grand finalist, Sorrento. With some good recruiting over the

summer, including new coach Matt Hyden from Ballarat, the Old Boys were able to record a comfortable victory with one over to spare. Hyden scored 21 in the chase, Glenn Prendergast top scored with 33 and Callum Savio was left unbeaten on 22. At the beginning of the day, Sorrento was restricted to 7/136. Corey Harris, fresh from a switch from Mt Martha, top scored with 36 for the Sorras while Liam O’Connor hit 30. Tom Clark was also solid with 21. Skipper Nick Jewell didn’t play. In the final match, Langwarrin got the chocolates over Rye at Lloyd Park. Kangas coach Mark Cooper made 48 and Andy Johnson an unbeaten 74 in the total of 4/174. In reply, the Demons were rolled for 117. Dwayne Doig was the best of the bowlers with 3/27, Adrian Mack snared 2/6 from seven overs in his return, Matt Prosser picked-up 2/19 and Jake D’Artri 2/33 from ten overs.

Hastings go down to glamour side DISTRICT By IT Gully HASTINGS went down to the new glamour side of District cricket, Seaford, in the opening round of the season. Despite winning the toss and batting first, the Blues were never able to get settled, scrambling to an uncompetitive total of 8/116 in its allotted 40 overs. Skipper Tim Birch, as he so often does, worked tirelessly for his unbeaten 33, while teenager Archie Lawler-Lobato impressed in his first senior game for the Blues with 22. Lawler-Lobato scored 219 runs in Hastings’ Under 16s last season with a highest score of 99 and 63 in the winning Grand Final. Daniel Esler was another new face for the Blues opening the batting with 15, crossing from Balnarring in the offseason, while 17-year-old Matt Foy also opened the innings with 17. The total was never going to be enough for the Blues. Andy McMannis snared three wickets for Seaford in his return game, while Paul Hartle picked up two wickets in his return and Dil Pageni contributed with two wickets too after crossing from YCW. In reply, Seaford got the total with 15 overs to spare. Nick Simpendorfer hit 37 in his comeback game, Faisal Payenda scored 24 in his return and Hartle was not out for 23. Mitch Floyd was the pick of the Hastings’ bowlers with 2/36. Last year’s District grand finalists, Delacombe Park, started its new season in blistering fashion against Boneo in a high scoring game. Boneo batted first at the small, run friendly Delacombe ground and scored more than five runs an over in their 40 overs, scoring 8/215. Ben Brittain was the best of the home side bowlers, helping himself to 4/31 from eight overs. When it came time to chase down the total, it was Ben’s brother and skipper Chris Brittain who did the damage.

Despite Jon Guthrie making just six runs, the score was on 60 when Brittain came in to bat. At the other end was Nick Christides, who had already hit a half century. He finished with 69. Brittain then went to work with Joel Malcolm and together they got within seven runs of the total. Malcolm eventually went for 35, however, Brittain went on to hit an unbeaten 100 to help his side get to 4/226 with two overs to spare. Red Hill had a successful start to its District season with a win against Somerville. The Hillmen made 6/191 batting first, Riley Shaw top scoring with 55 and former Melbourne player Laurie Heath opening with 43. In reply, Somerville was restricted to 8/177. Brent Martin was the best of the Hillmen’s bowlers with 4/54. Main Ridge cruised to victory against a less than ordinary Flinders. The Ridge sent the Sharks into bat first and rolled them for just 50. Shane Beggs top scored for Flinders with 23. There were five players out for ducks. Jordan McCulley was superb for the Ridge with 5/16 from ten overs. In reply, the Ridge got the runs six wickets down in the 13th over. Gareth Wyatt top scored with 22. Seaford Tigers got the job done against Carrum, winning by 29 runs. The Tigers batted first and made 7/194, Ash Mills top scoring with 78. In reply, the Lions were bowled out for 165 in the 40th over. Dylan Steed top scored with 48, while Josh Dent made 45. David James was the best of the Tigers’ bowlers with 5/48. In the final game Mt Martha held on to beat Baden Powell. The Reds made a modest 108 with Alex Mason top scoring with 36. Nathan Gay took 5/19 off six overs for the Braves. Baden Powell could only manage 93 in reply after being 2/55 at one stage. Elia Carter opened with 45, while Brad Schreuder was the best of the Reds’ bowlers with 4/16 off 10 overs.

Saints make a statement

SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING made their intentions well and truly known in MPCA Sub District cricket on Saturday with an effortless victory against Dromana. Balnarring was extremely active in the recruiting stakes in the off season and the effort certainly had an impact in the opening game. The two openers in Peter Mereszko and Brad Watson were new faces, while David Ross and Ben King were also additions to the Saints’ lineup. Ross was the recruit who had the biggest impact, smashing 87 on debut, while Mark Walles top scored for Balnarring with 95. The tail also had some wag, which helped the home side to a highly competitive 8/280. The Hoppers were never in the contest, bowled out for 82 in 20 overs in their first innings and being sent in again. In the second innings, Dromana faced 14 overs and finished with 4/54. Mitchell Kleinig was the destroyer in the first innings for Balnarring with 7/36, while he took a wicket in the second innings also. Justin Brown took 3/19 off six overs in the first innings. It seems BALLAM PARK may be in for another tough season after being smashed by TOOTGAROOK. The Frogs batted first after being sent in and made 6/188 off 40 overs. Klint James top scored for the home side with 63 and Luke Thompson was unbeaten on 50. Mark Miller was the best of the Knights’ bowlers with 4/20. In reply, the Knights were bowled out for 67 in

the 28th over. John Plakourakis top scored with 20. PEARCEDALE got the 12 points against FRANKSTON YCW, winning by 21 runs. The Dales batted first on their home deck and cruised to 5/176, Chris Dew scoring 43 and Gavin Moore 39. In reply, the Stonecats were restricted to 9/155. Jarryd Herbert returned to the Dales with 3/44 from 10 overs, while Dew and Kaine Smith picked-up two wickets each. ROSEBUD completed the expected and defeated TYABB. The Yabbies lost plenty of talent in the offseason, namely Luke Rus and Scott Didcock, and may struggle this season. The Buds went in without an injured Darren Kerr (eye) but still managed to bowl out the Yabbies for 148.The evergreen Jason Nagel was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 5/17 from eight overs, including five maidens. In reply, Rosebud made the runs with five balls to spare. Jake Millar made the step up from the Second XI and made an immediate impact with 43 opening the batting. In the battle of the neighbours, CARRUM DOWNS knocked over SKYE. Skye batted first and despite batting all of their 40 overs, could only manage 79. Stephen Smart top scored for the Burras with 43, while Chamara Perera was the best of the Cougars’ bowlers with 3/21. The Cougars made hard work of the chase, getting the runs six wickets down in the 39th over. Michael O’Driscoll top scored for Carrum Downs with 24. Pat Beckham was superb with the ball for Skye with 3/5 from 10 overs, including six maidens.

features. “In just 12 short months since its launch, Trax has established itself as a serious contender in this ever popular segment and we are very pleased with the success it has achieved to date,” said Ms Basile. “Trax has received great traction in the market as well as plenty of positive reviews and we are committed to building on that success to ensure Trax continues to evolve and respond to customer needs. “In 2014 Trax is currently Holden’s fourth highest selling vehicle and we’re confident that with the introduction of the 1.4 turbocharged engine and new added extras, it will continue to appeal to a broad customer base ensuring continued success.” The affordable and fuel efficient 1.8 litre engine will remain available on Trax is matched with a 5-speed manual or optional 6-speed automatic transmission, in both the LS and LTZ trim levels. Holden’s commitment to delivering excellent customer value extends beyond the purchase of Trax, with the most transparent Capped Price Servicing offer in market. Trax owners receive complete peace of mind knowing that each of the four regular services in the first three years (or 60,000kms whichever comes first) will only cost $185 – one of the lowest in the small SUV segment. On sale now, Holden Trax is available in a wide range of exterior colour choices including the introduction of Blaze Red.

HOLDEN Trax will cement its position as one of the best small SUVs on the road with the introduction of the new top of the range 1.4 litre Turbo LTZ model. The refined 1.4 litre turbocharged engine option is coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission with Active Select and a variety of new premium features that complement its award winning technology and bold design. The LTZ with the new 1.4 litre tubrocharged engine will sit above the already popular and well performing 1.8 litre engine in the expanded Trax line-up, offering customers an option that provides even greater levels of refinement and responsiveness. The new engine boasts 103kW of power and 200Nm of torque, with fuel economy of just 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres. Trax LTZ also benefits from an array of standard premium features, including rain sensing wipers, a driver’s arm rest and new 18 inch alloy wheels. A sunroof also comes standard with the 1.4 litre iTi option, further enhancing Trax’s reputation for providing outstanding customer value. These new additions join the long list of standard features already found across the entire Trax range including a seven-inch touch-screen with MyLink embedded apps, rear view camera and Bluetooth phone and audio streaming. Teresa Basile, Holden’s General Manager Marketing Communications, said Holden was committed to ensuring the fully-flexible Trax would continue to offer today’s drivers everything they are looking for in a small SUV, from multiple seating configurations to advanced technology
