Your guide to what’s on this weekend

for peninsula families

A COMMON fi sh tank water quality test kit is tackling stormwater pollu-tion at Mornington beach.

The innovative test has been recognised at this year’s Stormwater Victoria Awards.

Staff from the Environment Protection Authority worked with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Melbourne Water and Melbourne Uni-versity’s Centre for Aquatic Pollution Investigation and Management on the

project to improve water quality there.The EPA’s recreational water quality

program co-ordinator Darren Cottam said the test was part of the project Hitting the Hot Spots, which he described as a strategic approach to point source pollution management on the peninsula. It received two high commendations in the awards.

“The project was recognised for its ability to rapidly identify and trace pollution sources in stormwater drains

and waterways,” Mr Cottam said.“The test itself looks like a small

box which is placed in the stormwater drain for a period of time, and a colour scale indicates how much ammonia is in the sample.

“It works by detecting ammonia, which is usually found in higher levels where faecal pollution is present.

“The test is reusable: it can be used up to 100 times, and results are revealed within fi ve minutes in the

fi eld. Overall, the test offers a cheaper and faster way to detect faecal pol-lution which can pose health risks to recreational water users.

“The low cost and simplicity of the test means that council health offi cers can test more samples more often from local waterways near the beach, making it safer for everyone to enjoy.”

The test is routinely used by environmental health offi cers at Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

The EPA is working with its partner organisations to implement the test at Frankston beach.

The Stormwater Victoria Awards recognise innovations in stormwater management that help protect the health of our beaches, ecosystems and communities.

THE state government has introduced laws to strengthen local government governance and reduce councillor misconduct.

Minister for Local Government Natalie Hutchins said the changes would improve the standard of behaviour of councillors, provide a clear process for dealing with misconduct, and empower councils and her to take action against councillors "doing the wrong thing".

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors will be required to sign codes of conduct, and councils will have to introduce procedures to deal with alleged breaches.

Allegations of misconduct and "serious misconduct" will be dealt with by independ-ent councillor conduct panels, which will have the power to suspend councillors for up to six months.

The minister has new powers, including the option to recommend to the Governor-in-Council that a councillor be stood down if: The councillor has been accused of serious or gross misconduct and a panel or VCAT hearing is pending. The councillor's behaviour represents a threat to health and safety, is preventing council from performing its functions or is inconsistent with the role of councillor. A municipal monitor recommends that the minister stand down a councillor.

The minister will appoint municipal moni-tors and can issue governance directions to councils.

The changes also prohibit ward funds, also known as discretionary funds, as recom-mended by the Local Government Investiga-tions and Compliance Inspectorate.

The shire saw the writing on the wall last year and ended ward funds in May but there was a last night of spending that saw $113,934 allocated by councillors to pro-jects such as a rotunda, a war memorial, soc-cer goal posts, coast guard communications equipment, and $16,000 of improvements to a Rosebud laneway. Councillors had $10,000 a year to distribute in their wards.

That fi nal opening of the fi scal fl oodgates saw $46,900 spent in Briars Ward (Crs Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and Bev Colomb), $30,500 in Seawinds Ward (Antonella Celi, David Gibb and Graham Pittock), $9737 in Nepean Ward (Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodg-ers), $6797 in Cerberus Ward (David Gar-nock), and $20,000 in Watson Ward (Lynn Bowden) $20,000. Red Hill Ward received nothing as Frank Martin was ill and on leave. He retired soon after but was not replaced un-til a byelection in August elected Tim Wood.

Ms Hutchins said some of the laws would be progressively introduced over coming months to "ensure councils are ready for the changes".

"Since becoming minister, I've heard from councils and communities that these changes are desperately needed. Giving councils and the state government the ability to step in ear-lier will help ensure problems with councillor standards and governance aren't left to grow."

Ms Hutchins said overall misconduct among Victoria's 79 councils was rare but "it is vital that our governance frameworks are robust and ready to deal with misconduct".

A STYLISED calendar featuring fi re fi ghters from across the Mornington Peninsula is helping raise money for the new Monash Children’s Hospital.

Designed to hang on the wall, the Victorian Firefi ghter Calendar 2016 displays a month a page with space for jotting down notes in each day’s box. Public holidays are clearly marked.

The glossy pages feature fi re fi ghters in posed, semi-action shots at locations all over the peninsula.

Producer Carolyn Donovan, of Mornington, said the calendar paid tribute to the crews who “go above and beyond every day to serve the community”.

“They choose their valued profession because they want to make a difference in the world – to their community,” she said.

“They are willing to put their own lives on the line for ours, every day, and for that the community is truly grateful.”

This is the second calendar: last year’s effort raised $2700.

“My husband is a fi refi ghter and I saw that there was no calendar here and yet, overseas, lots of crews do them as major fundraisers,” Ms Donovan said.

The print run of 500 is designed to $5000 for the hospital once costs are deducted. The online price is $20 or $15 when bought over the counter.

“The hospital is excited and proud that we are using the concept to raise funds for them,” Ms Dono-van said. “It promotes fi re fi ghters in such a positive light.”

COUNTING HOUSE

THE state government has provided just one third of the money needed to fi x a track down a steep cliff in Morn-ington.

Barriers to prevent anyone using the track have been torn down and hun-dreds of walkers and joggers use the track each week to access Mills Beach from Kalimna Drive, offi cially known as the Caraar Creek Coastal Cliff Path-way.

Parts of the track’s bitumen cover-ing have collapsed and sections of the exposed cliff are still subject to severe erosion.

Stormwater drainage from luxury homes above the track - blamed for much of the erosion – appears to no longer be a threat, but Mornington Peninsula Shire told the state govern-ment it would cost $200,000 to rein-state the track itself.

However, despite receiving just $50,000, the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb said she was “thrilled to welcome the state government funding towards res-toration of the cliff pathway... Council received the full amount it asked for in its submission ($50,000), and con-gratulates the community for their in-put into lobbying for funding for this project.

“The council is meeting with the path community soon, and with the announcement of this funding Coun-cil will now consider the best options forward.”

Mornington Liberal MP David Mor-ris said the government’s contribution “could most charitably be described as

underwhelming”.He has accused the Labor govern-

ment of showing little support for the Mornington Peninsula and has asked for it to make a larger contribution to-wards fi xing the cliff track.

Peter Nicholson, of the Cliff Path Steering Group, said it would be ex-pensive to repair the track “because it’s so inaccessible to machinery and there is no rock at that point to put soil anchors into easily”.

“Bev [Cr Colomb] is right that the shire did apply for $50,000 from the environment department’s coastal safety/access fund. It’s not clear why this amount was asked for, but the

application was done in a rush, and it was very good work by the coastal planner involved to fi nd out about the grants and get a well thought-out application on one days notice,” Mr Nicholson said.

“The shire has been saying for some time they have been working to get funding, but I do not believe they have done that on any systematic basis and, if so, they certainly didn’t involve the Cliff Path Steering Group.”

A website (beleauracliffpath.com) established by the steering group to make sure the track does not remain closed says it was built “in 1915-22 by a small team of men with shovels

and ponies”.“Such a project could never be at-

tempted now. With today’s land prices and engineering standards, there would be a $10 million price tag. This iconic Mornington asset has worked well for 99 years and it is unthinkable to lose it now.

“The three landslips over the last 12 years have been caused by storm-water and irrigation water released in an ir-responsible way by a small number of houses on the cliff. This has cost the shire a lot of money, inconvenienced the public and threatened the future of the path. In recent years the shire has failed to enforce its own stormwater

rules with disastrous results.”Mr Morris said the government’s

contribution amounted to “one quarter of the total cost of reinstatement”.

He said it was “extremely disap-pointing” the government had shown “next to no interest in supporting the Mornington Peninsula” since winning government from the Coalition, of which he was a member.

“But we are still here, we are not go-ing anywhere, and we will continue to remind this government they were elected to look after the whole state, not just their own backyard.”

Mr Morris has asked Environment Minister Lisa Neville to provide $150,000 through her department to “… undertake suffi cient works to stabilise the Beleura cliff path, repair damage from a landslip and get the track open and functioning again”.

Mr Morris said the track had been used for many years and had suffered “longstanding drainage issues, particu-larly from some houses in the area”.

When announcing the $50,000 fund-ing, Ms Neville said it was part of $700,000 being used throughout the state “to improve public coastal access and public safety for Victorians”.

“These grants give critical support to committees that strive to improve public access and minimise risk by fully funding or part-funding these valuable projects,” Ms Neville said.

Money has also been allocated to: access to the northern end of Moon-dah Beach, Mt Eliza, $27,000; beach access from Whitecliffs to Cameron Bight foreshore, Rye to Sorrento, $ 6410; access and safety at Fishermen's Beach, Mornington, $24,400.

THE Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Network recognised National Week without Violence in late October with a visual art display The Clothesline to raise awareness of family violence.

The project uses T-shirts hanging on a clothesline as doing the laundry was once considered “women’s work” and women often chatted over backyard fences while hanging the washing out to dry, and confi dences were exchanged.

Members of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Vio-lence Network were joined by Aus-tralian of the Year Rosie Batty, family violence campaigner and author Sally Halligan, and Dean Clinton, of Victo-ria Police, at Cube 37 in Frankston, to launch the project last month.

Cr David Garnock said Mornington Peninsula Shire was committed to the prevention of family violence.

“On average, every week, one Aus-tralian woman is killed by a current or former partner. One in three women – about 3.9 million – will have expe-rienced some sort of violence by the age of 15. For indigenous women, the rates of violence are 35 times greater,” Cr Garnock said.

“Family violence is a key social and health issue which requires advocacy, collaboration and resourcing.”

Cr Garnock said the shire was com-mitted to making the peninsula a safe place, acting to eliminate violence in all forms, ensuring relationships between all members of the commu-nity are respectful and promoting the

rights of men, women and children to live free from violence.

“It is important for us as a council – and as a community – that men, wom-en and children have the opportunity to participate equally in all spheres of public and private life without fear or discrimination.

“We will continue to work towards increasing community awareness of family violence as a key social and health issue.”

The Clothesline installation will be displayed throughout the peninsula next year.

Breakfast with cause MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will host a White Ribbon fundrais-ing breakfast, 7-9am, Wednesday 25 November, at the Mornington Golf Club, Tallis Drive, Mornington. This is part of the campaign to stop vio-lence against women. Tickets are $35 can be reserved at bit.ly/1W1nPH3. Payments can also be made at shire customer service centres.

Community march A WESTERN Port Takes a Stand community march will be held Wednesday 25 November. All are welcome to show support. The march will leave the Victoria St, Hastings Post Offi ce car park, 11.30am. The march will be followed by speakers and a free barbecue at Hastings hall. Details: Hastings Respectful Relation-ships secretary, 0429 978 916.

TO the casual observer at Dromana it may have looked like a group of peo-ple was having an enjoyable day at the beach. There were some tricky balanc-ing acts on stand-up paddleboards and quickly arranged photos.

There was enjoyment and the need for balance, but it was also the arranged announcement of the involvement of “citizen scientists” in monitoring water quality.

Flinders MP and Environment Min-ister Greg Hunt jumped aboard a SUP to show how water samples could be collected offshore and then, with John Gemmill of the Clean Ocean Founda-tion measured the water’s PH level.

Mr Hunt, a long-time supporter of the foundation (he sported a Clean Ocean sticker on his car and his sup-porters wore the foundation’s t-shirts when handing our how-to-vote cards

on an election day), said $400,000 from the National Environmental Science Program would be used for citizens to collect and test water samples.

The program would be led by Clean Ocean and the results of this moni-toring of sewage outfall fl ows and pollution levels would be added to a national database.

“The program will monitor the impact of sewage on our marine bio-diversity,” Mr Hunt said.

The program will see “fi shers and surfers … become citizen scientists in a major new science project to monitor the impact of sewage on Australia’s marine biodiversity and ecosystems”.

“Together with researchers, recrea-tional water users will contribute to a National Outfall Database (NOD),

to be developed in consultation with the states and Northern Territory,” Mr Hunt said.

“The research will form the basis of a national collaboration between communities, scientists, water authori-ties and government agencies with the aim of working together to reduce the pollution load on our marine environ-ment.”

Mr Gemmill said Clean Ocean Foundation was “honoured to be asked to deliver the NOD. It is a very important step in the cleaning up of Australia’s coastline”.

“Since achieving our crucial goal of the upgrade of the Eastern Treatment Plant that discharged at Gunnamatta, Clean Ocean Foundation has been focusing on addressing outfalls from a national approach, because our oceans know no borders,” Mr Gemmill said.

CONSTRUCTION of long-awaited traf-fi c lights in Mt Eliza where Tower Rd and Volitans Ave join the Nepean Hwy is set to start next week.

The $500,000 project is a win for safety campaigners who have been lobbying for lights or turning restrictions since 2008 at the acknowledged black spot.

The federal government will contribute $400,000 and Mornington Peninsula Shire $100,000. Construction will be managed by state government authority VicRoads.

The project, due to be completed in De-cember, will include a pedestrian-operated crossing north of the intersection, cycling lanes, moving of the southbound bus stop, and a concrete footpath.

Vehicle-activated, under-road pads at Tower Rd will trigger the lights, allowing vehicles to enter Nepean Hwy safely.

Federal infrastructure minister Warren Truss said the project would "make major improvements to road safety for all users of this section of the Nepean Hwy, includ-ing pedestrians and cyclists".

"In the fi ve years between January 2009 and December 2013 there were six crash-es on this section of the highway including two fatalities and two serious injuries," Mr Truss said.

Federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson, who lobbied for the government money, said the road would be "safer for motor-ists, for pedestrians to cross and for cy-

clists to navigate, especially near the bus stop".

"Safety upgrades to this stretch of road are badly needed ... and I am relieved the work is set to begin," he said.

"Cycling lanes with a green-coloured surface treatment will improve safety for the many cyclists who ride through the area."

The original cost was $300,000 but the price went up when VicRoads said the lights needed vehicle-activated pads at Tower Rd.

This should avoid dangerous manoeu-vres by drivers who have run out of pa-tience trying to enter the highway.

Mornington MP David Morris, who lives in Mt Eliza, called for the state gov-ernment to improve the intersection when he spoke in the Parliament mid-April.

He said there had been "substantial de-velopment of the roads feeding into Tower Rd and to a lesser extent from Volitans Ave, but there are a lot more cars wanting to get onto the highway, and that has con-tributed to pressure on the intersection".

Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the works would reduce traffi c congestion.

"This is a busy section of the highway used by about 27,000 vehicles a day. When the project is completed, improved traffi c fl ows through the intersection will reduce congestion problems," she said.

During construction, one highway lane in each direction will be closed between 9.30am and 3pm and the speed limit will be reduced.

A MOBILE phone app providing information about recycling has been nominated for a smart technology award.

The Sustain Me app, developed by Mornington Pen-insula residents Eleanor Meyer and Stephen Halpin, was put up for a Banksia award on Sunday.

They hope that every item that can be disposed of is eventually categorised and listed in the Sustain Me application, with instructions on how to discard it.

The app can help local councils reduce the amount of waste sent to landfi ll.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is one of four councils partnering the initiative and tailoring its information to residents. It contributed $5000 to the start-up. “The

Banksia award recognises the promise of the platform as, once the app rolls out nationally, councils and governments across the country will be able to provide residents with specifi c information about sustainability events, programs, as well as recycling information,” Mr Halpin, of Mt Martha, said.

Co-founder and director of the Sustain Me Group, Eleanor Meyer, of Parkdale, said that while socially aware people were interested in recycling, they often fell into bad habits when unaware of better ways to act.

“The app will help them at the point of decision making, providing accurate information immediately, thereby removing the guess work,” she said.

RESIDENTS wanting to help shape the way the shire council spends its income can have a say about the 2016-17 annual budget.

Mornington Peninsula Shire is again inviting input from ratepayers as it develops a budget, which this time will be affected by the state government's new rate capping rules.

Victoria councils are facing the prospect of lower rate income, and will have to show "special circumstances" to increase rates by more than the cost of infl ation.

Rate capping will be introduced for the 2016-17 fi nancial year, and the shire will have to fi nd new sources of revenue to maintain or increase services.

In one of her last actions before stepping down as mayor, Cr Bev Colomb late last week invited "all of the local community – including residents, businesses, sporting and community groups" to make a budget submission.

"It is important to offer this opportunity for the commu-nity to provide input to the preparation of the draft budget so that it continues to refl ect the priorities identifi ed by our community as well as providing ongoing service enhance-ments and infrastructure upgrades," she said.

"You can submit ideas by post, email or online through the shire's website. Verbal presentations in support of writ-ten submissions can be made to a committee of council 6-8pm on Tuesday 8 December at the shire offi ce in Bes-grove St, Rosebud."

This would also be an opportunity to learn more about the budget and its development process.

To make a verbal presentation, register via email to [email protected] by 5pm Wednesday 2 December.

Cr Colomb said the budget was "part of a long-term process through which the shire delivers programs, projects and initiatives in line with its [2013-17] strategic plan", which can be downloaded from the shire's website or obtained from shire offi ces in hard copy.

She said the strategic plan had been developed by the council "based on extensive input from local communities

through our Plan Peninsula community conversations as well as through the development of master planning and service planning activities, which refl ect feedback from the community".

"The community will have [another] opportunity to com-ment on the budget during the statutory process later in the year."

New night busTHE Night Network bus starting on New Year’s Day will run from Carrum railway station to Rosebud, with stops at Carrum Downs and Frankston.

The new service is part of one-year trial of all-night transport.

The Night Network bus sees a re-routing of the existing 970 NightRider bus.

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said the service “will allow people in Frankston to enjoy a night out or get to work, and get home again safer and sooner”.

“Trains will run every hour to Frankston, and will be bolstered by bus services that will get people home to Frankston.”

YOUNG people in the Mornington area have a new place to hang out with the opening of The Corner, a youth resource centre, in Wilsons Rd.

The centre brings together a range of youth services under one roof and caters to the needs of the grow-ing youth population in Mt Eliza, Mornington and Mt Martha.

“The Corner will provide a modern and safe space where young people can seek advice and support from a range of youth organisations, including the council’s

youth service and Headspace,” Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said.

“It will offer drop-in services, fun and engaging programs, youth-orientated activities and school holiday programs to help young people make new friends, build confi dence and feel included in their community.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the centre was an investment in the future wellbe-ing and prosperity of young people in the Mornington region.

Down on The Corner: On Friday it was the turn of politicians and councillors to have a go with the recreational facilities at The Corner in Mornington. From now on it will be a place where youngsters can catch up with mates and fi nd help if needed. Picture: Yanni

A corner with youth services under the one roof“It will provide opportunities to access information

and support, alternative education, youth engagement activities and importantly provide a space where young people are made to feel safe and connected,” she said.

“Seven jobs were created during construction with two ongoing jobs being created over the life of the project.”

The Mornington Youth Centre was jointly funded with the federal government providing $800,000 and the shire $320,508.

CITIZENS of 19th century Morning-ton would be astonished at the latest technology that guides tourists and locals through the history of Main St.

No more guide books, pamphlets or humans leading a group – it's an audio tour (or podcast) with 18 recordings that can be downloaded by scanning a QR code on plaques placed near historic buildings on Main St and the Esplanade.

The tour complements a revised heritage walk brochure produced by Mornington and District Historical Society and the chamber of com-merce for the town's 150th in 2011. The project also saw the replacement of historic signs installed many years ago, some of which had disappeared or been damaged.

The audio tour was launched at the society's headquarters – the old post offi ce – on Friday 30 November. Scanning one of the QR codes with a smartphone or tablet downloads the podcast as well as images and the

audio script, which was developed for the hearing impaired. A QR scanning app is needed.

Podcasts describe the town's court-house and lock-up; Coffee Palace; Commercial Bank; Blake St; Railway Store; Grand Hotel; Main St south; old fi re station; Plaza Cafe; Bradford Dairy; livery and coach stables, Ori-ental Bank and Allchin's Store; Males Butchery and the hairdresser; cottage, billiard room and shops; Mechan-ics' Institute and RSL Club; Federal House; old post offi ce; and old State Savings Bank.

Historical society president Diane White told a gathering (which included federal MP Bruce Billson, state MP David Morris, shire mayor Cr Bev Colomb, shire heritage plan-ner Dale Kelly, and society members) that she heard about QR codes at a history conference in South Australia several years ago.

"One of the speakers said it was how to get young people interested

Main St history on a smartphonein history as they liked using their smartphones for innovative purpos-es," she said.

Seattle in the United States pio-neered QR codes for history walks.

The audio project cost $4480 and was covered by the federal govern-ment's Community Heritage and Icons Program.

Mr Billson said the project had brought to life Mornington's rich history.

"It includes online access to local history and stories narrated by local identities, which enables residents and visitors alike to tap into the soci-ety's remarkable resources," he said.

"The audio project will enable the community to celebrate our rich his-tory for generations to come in a fun and engaging way."

Cr Colomb said the project would be good for students.

Racing club's $4.8m 'new spaces'MORNINGTON Racing Club's $4.8 million facilities upgrade was opened by state racing minister Martin Pakula at the Peninsula Cup on Sunday last week.

The redevelopment includes a "multifunction" area, deck and new pavilion, which is adjacent to the mounting yard and track, and pro-vides a new place to watch racing.

The government contributed $2.34 million to the project from the Victorian Racing Industry Fund, and Melbourne Racing Club tipped in $2.77 million.

The Mornington club merged with Melbourne Racing Club in 2010.

Mr Pakula said racing in Victoria generating more than $2.8 billion in economic activity and supported more than 26,500 full-time jobs.

He said the industry fund returned unclaimed wagering dividends and on-course wagering taxes to the industry, and allowed the three racing codes, clubs and other key stake-holders to "have a say in growing Victorian racing".

It funds projects and initiatives at tracks in Victoria, supporting jobs, improving animal and participant safety, and increasing integrity measures.

"The refurbishment will make Mornington Racecourse the larg-est events centre on the peninsula, making it a great event space for the community," he said.

Melbourne Racing Club CEO Brodie Arnhold said the new areas "provide improved facilities on race days" and "a new function space for the community on non-race days".

Follow the trail to find an artistARTISTS across the Mornington Peninsula are showing themselves as well as their works over the next two weekends.

While it’s usually a display of their works, 19 artists are on the map for this year’s Peninsula Studio Trail, inviting the public into their studios to see art in the making.

“You can look forward to rooms fi lled with the smell of drying paints and ink; canvases waiting to be stretched; needles threading; ceramic wheels wet and turning; hot burners burning, and molten silver pouring,” gold and silversmith Katrina Newman

said. Many of the artists will be dem-onstrating the techniques that make their work so special.”

Ms Newman will be demonstrating cuttlefi sh casting and lamp-worked glass bead making.

Recent paintings by Bittern artist Cathie Coleman show “varying as-pects of her world”.

Her works in waxy oil paints illus-trate her memories of such things as a road trip home from Cairns, “signifi -cant spots from the local environment, including a peek inside Miss Coles gate at Merricks” and the ever-chang-ing views from, The Swamp, her farm

in Hendersons Rd, Bittern. “These places are just the beginning

of my paintings moving away from a realist landscape to include the se-crets, colours and feelings that emerge as I paint,” Coleman says.

Other artists on this year’s trail include ceramicists Sandi Faulkner and Susie Lawrence who will conduct workshops for children and adults.

Marilyn Townsend will demonstrate the art of making textile necklaces and cuffs and painting aprons for Christmas gifts.

The Peninsula Studio Trail was started by artists in 2009 and this

year’s decision to go over two weekends will allow visitors to take in as many studios as they want from Frankston to Sorrento, and around Western Port and Port Phillip bays.

The studios will open 10am-4pm, Saturday 14 and 21 November and Sunday 15 and 22 November.

A map of the trail is at peninsulas-tudiotrail.org or call Katrina Newman on 0413 304 013, email: [email protected] or Cathie Coleman, 0418 839 704, [email protected]

Signs point to a constructive courseCOMMUNICATING with those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing will be made easier for those attending a fun and practical development course at Camp Manyung, starting this Thursday.

Through games, activities, group and pair work attendees will develop the ability to sign in a range of social and workplace settings. Addition-ally, they will be able to sign their favourite children’s book or sign a favourite song.

The Auslan Company, the only deaf owned and operated Auslan and Deaf Awareness Training Organisation in Australia, won the Cardinia Business Award 2011 for the Most Innova-tive Business, and was a fi nalist in other categories, its founder, Darren Roberts, said.

The course is aimed at profession-als in the disability sector, education, welfare, speech pathology, nursing, parents and the general community.

The four-week course runs 10am-noon from Thursday 12 November to Thursday 3 December. The cost is $120 per person or $100 (University/TAFE/HCC/Seniors) and $80 stu-dents aged 8-17. Camp Manyung is in Sunnyside Rd, Mt Eliza.

Those attending will receive a workbook with photos and signing descriptions. A certifi cate of attend-ance will be provided to those passing the practical course requirements.

THE co-founder of Kunyung Residents Group, formed to lobby for South East Water's decommissioned Mt Eliza reservoir to be turned into a reserve, has started an online petition.

The blurb accompanying Rebecca Taylor's change.org petition is an impassioned letter to Premier Daniel Andrews, planning minister Richard Wynne, South East Water, and Morn-ington Peninsula Shire requesting the land become a wildlife reserve instead

of a 24-lot housing estate.It is headed "South East Water

customers, would you give up a $6 savings on your bill to save a frog?"

The dam was decommissioned in 1999 and has become a haven for wildlife. It is on the corner of Barmah and Kanya roads near Kunyung Rd.

Wildlife experts say the fenced 2.8-hectare block contains about 100 locally signifi cant fl ora and fauna species including the only substantial frog population in Mt Eliza. It is home to native birds and mammals – includ-ing the endangered grey-headed fl ying fox – and holds the only established

colony of now locally rare kangaroo grass as well as orchids.

In early 2014, South East Water asked the shire to rezone the 24 blocks of about 1000 square metres each via a planning scheme amendment, which must be approved by planning Minister Richard Wynne. SEW wants to sell the blocks to developers for full price, estimated to be worth between $10–$13 million.

An independent planning panel heard from all parties in August, and recommended the land be used for houses with no reserve, disappointing residents, the shire and Mornington

MP David Morris who in the Parlia-ment had called on state environment minister Lisa Neville to "give the land to the people" for a reserve.

"Transport magnate Sir Reg Ansett bought the land in the late 1950s and gave it to State Rivers and Water Supply Commission for a reservoir instead of a site on his land nearby.

A submission to set aside two lots for public housing was rejected by the panel as was a request by the shire that one hectare be public open space.

The panel report has been sent to Mr Wynne, who has the fi nal say.

In her letter, Ms Taylor says the

water authority told her money from the land sale would be passed on to its customer. "At the current market value of the land, this would equate to a $6 one-off saving for each of its 1.65 million customers.

"Join with us to tell South East Water and the Victorian Andrews Government that we would prefer that they use our $6 saving for a more altruistic purpose of preserving the environment of the reservoir."

JUST as many families pride them-selves on an annual visit to a favourite holiday spot so it is for thousands of birds that regard Western Port as one of their homes.

The large bay and its islands include internationally recognised wetlands which governments have an obliga-tion to protect under the Ramsar treaty as well as beaches.

One migratory bird that regularly fl ies in to Flinders is back for its 14 th recorded visit.

Flagged when two years old, the ruddy turnstone has been making a

24,000 kilometre round trip since 2003. Another two-year-old was fl agged in 2007.

Victorian Wader Study Group mem-ber Penny Johns keenly awaits the arrival of the birds each year and says four other turnstones spotted this year dropped in one their way back to King Island where they were originally fl agged.

Ms Johns and other birdwatch-ers have been fl agging turnstones, red-necked stints and other migratory shorebirds at Flinders since the mid-1990s.

“Ruddy turnstones are very site faith-ful,” Ms Johns said. “That was one of the reasons that we chose that species to attach geolocators to in 2007.

“We had to re-catch them to down-load the information and we knew there was a good chance of that.

“However, their numbers are in decline. In 1997 there were 150 here when we fi rst fl agged them. Today we are lucky to see 20.”

Ms Johns said some good news was that a pair of hooded plovers was nest-ing at Flinders, the fi rst recorded there for 20 years. Keith Platt

A lot can happen in a year as young peninsula

photographer, Josh Brnjac demonstrates, the

13-year-old photographer having started his own online

business since we last met in Spring 2014.Melissa Walsh catches up with Josh, now in his first year of

high school, to find out what’s been happening in this creative

kid’s world.“In the past 12 months its been really exciting. After releasing

the first website I got back into the photography but wanted

to get an online presence for my business,” says Josh. “I have

recently released an e-commerce store offering a collection of

my best photographs on stunning mediums to an Australia-

wide audience.”For Josh the whole process of getting the online business

right has been trial and error but he was determined to stick it

out as he knew the value of a good online presence.“It has helped me along the way to attain my other goal as

well, which is finding a charity I feel touched by and giving

a percentage of the proceeds to that,” says Josh, who believes

it is as important to give back to the community. “This way I

get to help bring the beauty of Australia into everyday living

spaces, and support a charity which is close to my heart.”The charity that Josh supports is Kigezi Youth and Mentor

Development Project Uganda, Africa.“I wanted to empower the lives of others, and the KYMADP

is an outreach initiative in Kabale. The primary focus of my

By Melissa Walsh

THROUGH THE EYES OF THE YOUNGsponsorship is to equip, empower and enrich,” says Josh. “To

equip the underprivileged youth of Kabale with life skills, to

empower the vulnerable young to utilize their full potential,

and to empower the lives of those who have been marginalized

through abject poverty by providing education to enrich their

lives with purpose, hope and opportunity.” Josh has already been amazed with where the money has been

used so far.“I was fortunate to sell a print at the Flinders Gallery and

put the money towards a young boy who needed leg surgery.

This was about two months ago, before I had even released

the website.”As for running a business when you are 13, Josh says his

parents insist that he gets his homework done first when he

gets home from school. Then he can do business follow-ups.

“My parents are so helpful. There are lots of things you

can’t do when you are a kid so they will help me out with

things like contracts with suppliers for instance, but I do all

the groundwork and phone them to set up the partnerships

though. Sometimes they care about my age. Other times they

don’t,” says Josh.Josh now sells his photographs on different mediums like

glass and metal, and has found a niche in the market for this

unusual artwork.“I like to go through Australian companies to supply my glass

When Peninsula Essence’s Ricky Thompson met his wife Tracy in High School he soon became aware that if he wanted to go out with her he had better develop an interest in horses.That’s the way it is when you love horses and Tracy had been riding

since she was a little girl, following closely in her mother’s footsteps.Now, decades later, the females of the family continue to ride together, and have run agistment properties for 25 years.On 64 acres in Bittern is Jack’s Beach Farm, where the three

generations of women gather every week to ride and look after their horses.Tracy, her daughter Chelsea, sister Sara and mum, Linda, are as

close as you can get, and there’s no doubt this special bond has everything to do with their four legged friends.Linda has been riding ever since she can remember, having grown

up on the peninsula and raising her daughters around horses. “My main love is trail riding, getting out and into the country,”

says Linda, who grew up in Tucks Road, Shoreham. “The kids loved it too and got their first horses when they were 7 and 5.”Linda says that there have been many changes in where you can

ride as the years have gone on.“I used to ride from Red Hill to Crib Point along the road but

you can’t do that any more. It’s too dangerous now but I used to ride up to the hills every Sunday.”When the girls aren’t on horses, they are talking about horses

or on websites about horses, and young Chelsea is no different, following in mum and grandma’s footsteps.“Chelsea goes to the Balnarring Pony Club, the same one we

used to,” says Tracy and Sara. “We are members of the Merricks Saddle Club.”Rain, hail or shine, this family of horse-lovers put their money

where their mouth is, spending nearly every spare moment at the property, caring for the horses and doing maintenance.“We do feeds in the morning, then back in the afternoon giving

THE owner of Tully's Corner Produce Store on the Moorooduc Highway, Moorooduc, was not a happy man when he left the council chamber in Rosebud on Monday last week.

Frank Brancatisano wanted the council to approve his application to sell in his store bottled wine produced by three nearby wineries – Barmah Park Vineyard and Stumpy Gully Vineyard in Moorooduc, and Massoni Vineyard in Mt Eliza.

He'd spent a motza on reports from town planner Ratio Consultants and was confi dent that green wedge zone changes made by Coalition planning minister Matthew Guy, before the Napthine government was rolled by Labor, would allow packaged wine sales – so-called "primary produce".

Shire planner James Bryan had recommended the application be ap-proved but when the vote came, it was 6-3 against.

Mr Bryan's report to councillors stat-ed Tully's had a permit for retail sales and "primary produce sales" issued in 2007 but this did not include alcohol or "non-food" products.

Now Tully's wanted to use a corner of its building to "sell wine sourced from vines from adjacent land" during its normal opening hours (9am-6pm Monday-Saturday and 10am-6pm on Sunday).

Just one objection was received by

the shire. A Mt Eliza resident stated that the sale of alcoholic products in the green wedge zone was usually in the form of a "cellar door" for wine produced on a property.

"This application equates to a bot-tle shop and is prohibited in the green wedge. The sale of locally produced alcoholic products as a means of en-hancing the peninsula tourism experi-ence is better conducted from cellar doors.

"The application confuses green wedge zone cellar door-type opera-tions with the traditional bottle shop."

Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association supported the Tully's ap-plication as did several winemakers.

Mr Bryan said green wedge zone changes made by Mr Guy meant "sale of wine produced from grapes grown on 'adjacent land' is now considered to be primary produce sales".

"The sale of wine is to be limited to wines produced from grapes grown within a 3 kilometre radius of [Tul-ly's]".

The council refused the application, stating "the sale of liquor from a retail premises fails to comply with the pur-pose and intent of" green wedge zone rules, and it would "result in an inten-sifi cation of a retail use, which is pro-hibited in the green wedge".

• Mr Brancatisano won approval from the council earlier this year to open a 200 square metre bottle shop at Moorooduc Coolstores, just 1.4km from Tully's.

FEEDBACK is being sought on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s “sus-tainable transport strategy”.

The strategy outlines a vision for sustainable transport and how it can contribute to the shire’s health, economic, social and environmental sustainability.

Priorities are increasing transport options for older residents; provid-ing better access to schools and jobs; easing traffi c congestion; reducing car use; integrating transport and land use planning, and promoting walking and riding.

The strategy is on view until 7 De-cember. Complete the online survey at the shire’s website or, post com-ments to [email protected] by 5pm Tuesday 7 December.

Fire in waitingThe largest problem with this issue is public apathy and lack of education and council inac-tion (“Fire: a catastrophe in waiting”, The News 27/10/15). Mornington Peninsula Shire has regulations regarding fuel loads and clearance but appears to do nothing in the way of policing or enforcing their own regulations.

I live in McCrae on the side of Arthurs Seat. It’s a beautiful spot and I love it here. But some of the blocks here are never cleared.

Fuel loads are massive.When I clear mine I am frequently abused for

causing too much smoke.Also mentioned [in the article] were safe ha-

vens. Here, the only possible safe haven - which is council maintained - has so much vegetation that it is more of a hazard than a haven.

A haven is needed, as there are only three escape routes from this area and they run either across or parallel to the freeway. The freeway is where a fi re may start.

When we get a fi re here it is going to be bad, very bad. John Shorter, McCrae

Tree shortfallEarlier this year I wrote suggesting the problems of growing 20 million trees (plants) throughout Australia to fulfi ll the requirements of Direct Ac-tion (ERT) would take considerable organisation.

The publication Ground Swell has pointed out that 20 million trees, planted a10 metre cen-tres would fi ll a circular area 26 kilometres in diameter.

Take a map of Greater Melbourne and with the centre at Dandenong, 26km diameter would take you through Mt Eliza, Cannons Creek, St Kilda and Mt. Evelyn. To fi ght our Co2 emissions, that area would be suffi cient for Australia according to [Flinders MP and Environment Minister] Greg Hunt.

Ground Swell has also calculated that the ac-tual number of trees required to meet the policy objectives according to CSIRO would be 15 bil-lion trees. Greg Hunt has claimed over 65 times the Co2 absorption rate than the CSIRO fi gures.

Take a map of Victoria and Australia and see how small a 26km diameter circle would cover: a mere dot on the full map of Australia.

I wonder what the rest of the thinking mem-bers of the Climate Conference in Paris would think if the Australian representative produced such a map as Australia’s solution.

Add the plans for a massive mine in Queens-land to produce black coal which will add mil-lions of tons of Co2 to our atmosphere.

The above indicates just how out of touch our Minister for the Environment is with reality.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Change is coming You have to smile at the climate change deniers out there. They remind one of an ostrich with their head stuck in the sand, trying to look up their ancestors.

Apparently, there are only puffs of steam coming out the La Trobe Valley, so all is right with the world. As long as nothing is happening in their area for the moment, there is no climate change.

The sea level is rising in the Pacifi c Ocean, putting remote low lying island nations such as

Kiribati and the Marshall Islands in danger of inundation. In fact, small parts of some islands have been fl ooded already. In Mexico, they recently experienced the most powerful storms ever recorded anywhere. According to meteor-ologists, Australia can expect the "Godzilla of all El Ninos" this year. The waters in the Great Barrier Reef are warming and slowly killing the reef. Add the pollution run off from mines and farms and we have a huge problem.

The polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, not to mention the glaciers in Greenland and other places.

May I suggest that the deniers remove the scales from their eyes. We owe [former Prime Minister] Tony Abbott or, for that matter [Flin-ders MP and Environment Minister] Greg Hunt, no apology.

Speaking of Mr Hunt, his time is nearly up to get the PenBus funding returned.

John Cain, McCrae

Coal is costlyAlan Reid ("Unreliable Energy”, Letters, 3/11/15) appears to have an ideological rather than an informed approach to climate change and renewable energy.

The economic, health, and environmental impact associated with the extraction, trans-portation, processing and combustion of coal conservatively triples the price of coal-generated power, making renewable energy economically competitive (New York Academy of Science February, 2011).

In Australia the adverse impacts from coal-fi red electricity are estimated to be $2.6 billion (Climate Change Council report, 2014).

In Europe, the health impact of coal-powered electricity is 43 billion Euros ($61 billion). That sum includes 182,000 premature deaths, 8500 new cases of chronic bronchitis and more than four million lost working days.

Dr E A S Sarma, former Secretary to India’s Ministry of Power, says coal is not the answer to India’s poverty. It contributes to 80,000-115,000 premature deaths and 20 million new asthma cases annually. It is also responsible for around 40 per cent of the greenhouse gas emissions (The Guardian, 7/8/15).

By some twisted logic Australia is going to risk its own environment and export its coal to India.

Maybe Mr Reid will be inspired by Morocco where solar energy plants will store solar pro-duced energy, making 24/7 solar energy possible.

Of course we cant just stop burning coal tomorrow as Mr Reid rather naively implies, but being so fi rmly wedded to coal has prevented Australia from exploring exciting possibilities for renewable energy that would create wealth and jobs.

A decision that in the future will leave us an impoverished and discredited nation.

Finally, as Mr Reid seems rather fond of using the term “greenie” in an apparently derogatory way. I am not a member of any political party, just a citizen who cares about the future for Australia and for the future of my children and grandchildren. Geoff Selby, Moorooduc

Alternatives’ turnYes, Alan Reid ("Unreliable Energy”, Letters, 3/11/15), renewable energy is more expensive

than dirty coal or other carbon driven energy production, but only if we ignore the devastating effects of global warming on the world’s econo-mies and the future displacement of hundreds of millions of people.

In a world of climate change denial, this all will not come to pass and we can keep on as usual.

But we need to be turning our energy produc-tion to the more sustainable sources of wind, solar, thermal solar and wave energy.

The coal fi red energy sector has for years promised nonpolluting energy from coal, but seem to be incapable or unwilling to invest ad-equate resources to developing such a beast.

The argument that nuclear energy is the solution is just as misleading. The solutions for taking care of the byproducts of such energy production can still not be taken care off without lumbering future generations with the responsi-bility and ensuing cost of storing these danger-ous materials.

The cost of this is of course left to the public purse after the energy sector has made it's stash.

Mr Reid's assertions that there is no 24/7 re-newable energy system available, is misleading at best and plain wrong.

I suggest he go and check out the Beyond Zero emission website bze.org.au and I'm sure he'll fi nd a lot of answers to his questions.

It should be clear to us all that if we keep going the way we always have, the cost of not attempting to slow our emissions will cost our society a great deal more than we can imagine.

To keep on pandering to the carbon lobby and climate change deniers, will be at humanity’s peril. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Doubling upIt’s with dismay and concern that I read the con-venient rhetoric forwarded by [Liberal Nepean MP] Martin Dixon (“Bay Trail ‘facts’ wrong”, Letters, 3/11/2015) where he managed to avoid any reference to the fact there will be already be a suitable safe bay trail just some meters away.

This additional bay trail on the foreshore could potentially remove more than 50 per cent of the vegetation along narrower sections of the foreshore.

We must remember that this segment of fore-shore is very narrow, unlike those in surrounding areas such as at Capel Sound.

References to a “meandering trail” and some “boardwalks” by Mr Dixon are mutually exclu-sive with a dual carriageway pathway which, under current standards, would require some four metres width of vegetation removal.

Projects such as this often have a very questionable level of governance and I draw reference to a recent bay trail clearance issue in Kingston, along the bay, which prompted com-munity outrage and an appeal to VCAT against the terrible level of damage infl icted on their foreshore.

The community has been asked to provide comment on a map which provides only two lines (drawn with a marker pen) through the foreshore.

The level of transparency is questionable and we request that the community are fully informed of the pathway details, level of vegeta-tion removal, dune grading and provide coastal impact assessment statements.

The community values the natural character of

the foreshore and for Mr Dixon to promote this risk upon our coastline is an extremely disap-pointing position.

Kelvin Stingel, Mornington Peninsula Greens

Pay rise deservedI have been a council “basher” for some 10 years now and have gained a certain amount of notori-ety on the subject, so it comes as no surprise that many of my “followers” have asked what I think of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new CEO. My response has been one of guarded optimism but I am now ready to go out on a limb.

I can see more than superfi cial changes taking place, such as his approach to customer service and the $700,000 saving in insurance costs.

Carl Cowie has saved the shire millions of dol-lars and is working on containing costs without sacrifi cing essential services. Changing the culture of a local government bureaucracy is a monumental task but I believe that Mr Cowie is up to it, as can be evidenced by his culling much deadwood from the bureaucracy

Our councillors need to develop a set of measurable key performance objectives then get out of his way and let him get the job done. They can then get on with other important issues, like holding meaningful ward meetings and listening to their constituents. They might even initi-ate some of the “best practices” of community engagement that they seem reluctant to do.

I believe it is about time for his performance review and I doubt that many will complain about a very nice pay rise.

He is turning this place around and deserves it.I understand that his pay is at the bottom of

the pay scale for CEOs in shires of more than 100,000 citizens and this gap should be nar-rowed signifi cantly. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Editor: It is understood councillors have already reviewed the CEO’s position and are likely to lift his current $324,000 salary package to more than $375,000.

Car park clearedWORKMEN accidentally ruptured a gas line outside Mornington Central shopping centre, Gordon St, 12.12pm, Wednesday, prompting the evacuation of the car park.

Fire crews from Mornington said strong winds blowing through the car park off Barkly St spread the gas, prompting them to isolate entrances along the east wall.

Station offi cer Mark Flower said the 50mm high-pressure natural gas main had to be dug up before it could be fi xed. “With the assistance of centre management we isolated the car park and evacuated cars,” he said.

The gas was not explosive, and fi re crews stayed to monitor the gas cloud. At 2.30pm the leak was isolated and clamped by workmen.

A second call from shopkeepers to “a strong smell of gas” at the corner of Queen and Main streets was identifi ed as being dispersed from the original car park leak.

PENINSULA Aero Club, Tyabb, has been named Aero Club of the Year.

This comes through aviation maga-zine, Australian Flying, acting for the Royal Aeronautical Society, Austral-ian Division.

“Of all the clubs in the country, Peninsula Aero Club’s submission won,” president Peter Bernardi said.

The award was presented by Captain David Jacobson, a former commercial airline pilot with 24,000 fl ying hours’ experience.

It recognises the club’s outstand-ing support, facilities and training to the general aviation community, as well as its high standards of safety in operations, while creating an environment that fosters participation in aviation.

The award also acknowledges the efforts of club members and the com-mittee as being valuable members of the general aviation community.

“It is a fantastic achievement for the aero club,” Mr Bernardi said.

The November/December edition of Australian Flying award reads: “Peninsula Aero Club is not only a vibrant club for visitors and aviators, but also the body that administers Mornington Peninsula Airport at Tyabb in Victoria.

“With around 530 members, PAC provides facilities for social gather-ings, maintenance organisations, warbird collectors, Air Ambulance, Victoria Police Air Wing, Royal Fly-ing Doctor Service and fi rebombing operations.

“PAC is also actively involved in encouraging secondary school students to explore fl ying careers through the Student Flight Training

Here’s to you: Peninsula Aero Club president Peter Bernardi accepts the Aero Club of the Year award from Captain David Jacobson watched by Royal Aeronautical Society chairman Murray Stimsom.

Mag award puts aero club top of the nation

program. “Members are also very active in

Angel Flight and the club is one of the major supporters of FunFlight.”

Mr Bernardi said club manage-ment’s view was that Tyabb airport is “an integral part of the Tyabb com-munity”.

The aero club will host the Christmas Toy Run with the Antique

Aeroplane Association of Australia on Saturday 28 November.

“Our Tyabb community is invited to join us,” Mr Bernardi said. “It’s our way of giving something back.

“We’ll have aircraft on display, some fantastic heavy metal going through its paces in the sky and, after-wards, on display near the clubhouse.

“There will be a free sausage sizzle

lunch and club members will be out and about with their planes.”

Visitors can take unwrapped gifts for Food for All, which has been working across the Mornington Pen-insula for the past 24 years. Toys are needed for children aged 8-14. Lego or similar are always popular.

Tyabb Air Show will be held on the long weekend, Sunday 13 March.

Five-year plan for neutralityMORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has made a commitment to be carbon neutral and has been working with the community to develop the best ap-proach to achieving this outcome, the mayor Cr Bev Colomb says.

A draft carbon neutral policy, action plan and the supporting business cases, are available for community feedback.

Cr Colomb said carbon neutrality was a forward-thinking approach to long-term environmental improve-ment.

“In August, council endorsed the preferred option in achieving carbon neutrality within fi ve years,” she said. “This approach includes actions to signifi cantly reduce emissions, such as upgrading public street lighting to LED lights, installing solar panels on shire buildings and implement-ing best-practice energy effi ciency in shire buildings.”

Cr Colomb said the draft policy refl ected this preferred approach and set out principles the shire would exercise when developing policies, strategies or implementing projects that impact on its greenhouse gas emissions profi le.

“The draft policy will ensure the shire continues to monitor greenhouse gas emissions and makes informed, best-value decisions to support emis-sion reduction,” she said.

The draft policy, action plan and the supporting business cases are on public exhibition until Monday 7 December. To provide feedback email [email protected]

I’m Mauricio Munoz from Aspendale. I’m the proud father of 3 fantastic kids whom you’ll ever meet (Imogen 21, Lex 18 and Rhen 16), I’ve been married to Michelle for over 20 years. Everything in our lives was going as good as anyone could have wished for; our kids were doing well at school and behaving like responsible

renovating our home, life was sweet! However, on a relatively warm evening in July 2013, my whole life was turned upside down in a space of a few seconds.

that has led to countless surgeries, a stint in ICU for 12 days, 15 weeks in the Royal Melbourne Hospital followed by ongoing rehabilitation.

In a careless act, I was struck by a truck at 80km/hr whilst cycling home from work. It was the night before my daughters 19th birthday. At that point the doctors and surgeons braced my family for the worst. They predicted that my survival rate was minimal. Having shattered my pelvis, severed my renal artery (leading me to be bleeding out rapidly), severed several arteries to my kidney, broken my sternum, 6 ribs, a compound fracture to left ankle, a fractured left lower tibia, a fractured eye socket and broken teeth, they decided an induced coma was the only option.

My gorgeous wife drove daily to Royal Melbourne Hospital to be by my side for 15 weeks. My beautiful daughter attending university, working part time and playing mum to her younger brothers, 13 and 15 years

of age at the time. Despite all this my family stayed strong, we kept each other sane during the ordeal. I was

amount of weight my recovery was far from over.

In December 2013, I was transferred to St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital as an outpatient and introduced to Senior Physiotherapist Brigitte, whom I owe so much to and give much credit for helping me get to where I am today. I’ll never forget the day I met Brigitte. She was just everything I expected from a Health Professional and MORE! Brigitte treated me with humility and as a friend instead of a number. As a true professional, from the get go we discussed the recovery program and set ‘realistic’ goals. This was to ensure I knew exactly what I needed to focus on and importantly, to ensure I took stock of my progress. This process was extremely valuable to ensure I kept myself in good mental health. Throughout the time I was under her watchful eye, she was constantly assuring me that all the aches and pains would improve over time and I would be able get on with my life – open a new chapter in my life.

treatment consisted of two sessions a week Hydrotherapy (the warm water was so welcoming to my aching bones and muscles), balancing exercises, walking between the ‘ballerina’ bars, joint movement manipulation, muscle strengthening (upper and lower body),

occupational therapy, hip and core strengthening and remedial massage.

As I became stronger and mobile, Brigitte introduced me to Jorgen, another Senior Physiotherapist, to ensure my recovery process stepped up another notch! Jorgen was just awesome; he always had a smile on his face and always on the go! You knew that your heart rate would hit the roof during his sessions. This

early through my recovery due to my sporting background. I needed to feel active; I needed to feel alive and independent again.

The biggest challenge I found through my recovery was that I was impatient and I did not think the rehabilitation process would take so long. Two years on and I’ve been able to reach milestones no one thought was possible. Brigitte, Jorgen and everyone at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital were so supportive and their care was second to none.

I’ve have permanent nerve damage to both of my legs from the knees down but I’m fortunate to be alive. I’m walking not like before but none the less, mobile and the fact that I have little to no feeling in my feet and still able to walk is an incredible miracle.

amounts of pain and I still struggle to comprehend how anyone could hit another human being and fail to stop at the scene. However, I’m determined to move on and every time I feel down, I remember Brigitte’s voice in my head asking me, ‘Do you

want to get on with life?’ The answer has always been YES!!

In recognition to all the help I’ve received in the past 2 and half years and in desperately trying to reach closure, I’ve decided to embark on a challenge of a life time. I’m back on the bike and training to ride from Melbourne to Adelaide in January 2016 to promote road safety awareness (Amy Gillett Foundation - A Meter Matters campaign) and raise money for Royal Melbourne Hospital without whom I may not be here

OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, but are often ignored. We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on some common foot and leg concerns and things to be aware of: The most common foot & leg concerns

include: heel pain and arch pain which are often diagnosed or misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis; knee pain, injuries and arthritis; as well as shin and ankle pain A large number of foot and leg concerns

are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated so its important to fi nd an experienced and appropriate practitioner to assist them. A musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist is usually the best person to assist. Bad foot posture can continually pull our

bodies out of alignment, which can contribute to much; ankle, shin, knee, hip, back and neck issues. Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis,

nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet. Scientifi c research clearly demonstrates the

direct effect chronic foot pain can have upon both your physical and mental health, largely due to the high amount of nerve endings in the feet. Traditional treatments such as cortisone and

anti-infl ammatory medications have now proven to have the capacity to delay healing and cause further tissue damage. Foot and leg problems left untreated almost

always get worse, however most foot & leg con-cerns can be assisted quite easily and effectively with appropriate treatment.

“People often endure painful conditions for too long, they assume nothing can be done or re-

ceive inappropriate treatments that may provide some immediate relief but don’t address the cause, which is vital for successful, long-term healing,” says Foot & Leg Pain Clinics founder, Dr. Paul Dowie.

His colleague, musculoskeletal podiatrist Dr. David Kavanagh goes on to say, “With correct diagnosis and treatment there is usually an effective, natural solution for most foot and leg pain. We can even aid soft tissue repair and regeneration to assist injuries and arthritic concerns thanks to the latest medical research and treatments.”

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics have clinics located in Mt. Eliza, Rye and Moorabbin.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Two brave young lads lose their lifeTwo brave young lads lose their lifeCompiled by Melissa Walsh

THE Langwarrin branch of the Red Cross Society report a steady response to their appeal for funds, over £5 be-ing contributed for the last month. At a working bee arranged by Mrs Wil-liams, of Ruperstan, an average at-tendance of twelve assisted in making sand bags for the trenches.

***A welcome home social will be ten-dered to Private E. A. Berry, who has returned invalided from the front, and also a farewell and presentation will be given to Gunner Wm Evans, who has enlisted, on Saturday, 20th inst, in the Langwarrin Recreation Hall.

***REV Adamson, of Melbourne, will preach in the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next, the occasion being the Sunday School Anniversary. Three services will be held, when there will be special singing by the children. On Monday night there will be the usual anniversary public meeting, in the Church. The children will provide the programme and a good time is ex-pected.

***THE Peninsular Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. is a growing industry locally. No fewer than three men are permanently engaged at the Frankston branch, and two at the Mornington branch. We hear that an up-to- date plant is about to be installed at one of the Company’s Garages, and each employee is a fi rst rate mechanic, as well as being careful

and steady drivers. ***

A meeting of the Committee of Frankston Sports Club was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday evening, when there was a good attendance. Dr Plowman was in the chair. The prin-cipal business was the formulating a programme of events for the New Year’s Day meeting, the principal of which are:—Sheffi eld Handicap of £15 5s 220 yds handicap of £8, 75 yds handicap of £4 10s, Flag Relay race £3, two log chopping contests of £8 and £4 10s respectively, two bicycle events of £6 10s and £3 10s respec-tively. A meeting of ladies to arrange for the refreshment booth will be held in the Mechanics’ at 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening next.

***NEWS has been received that two of the brave lads who volunteered for service from this district have suc-cumbed and given their lives in the execution of their duty. We refer to Private Victor Robert Jondahl, son of Captain and Mrs Jondahl, of Langwar-rin, who died on the 2nd November at Malta Hospital, and Corporal Leonard H.Flood, of Mornington, who died on the 22nd October, at Heliopolis. Wheeler Frank Shepherd, son of Mr G. Shepherd, of Somerville, has also been invalided from Malta to England. Wheeler Shepherd took part in the his-toric landing at Gallipoli and was in the fi ghting line for about fi ve months when laid low by sickness.

***THE State School Amateur Athletic

Association held their Championship Sports; on the Melbourne Amateur Sports Ground, on Friday last. From the “Argus” we note 4000 spectators witnessed the various contests, for which there were 2000 entries. The State School Championship of Victo-ria was won in fi ne style by J. Heag-ney who has won the Boys Race three years in succession, at the Frankston Athletic Sports. Little Clem Heagney,at the same meeting, also won, the under 13 years State School Championship Victoria, over the 120 yards distance. The Heagney boys ran in the nomi-nation of the Middle Brighton State School and this is the fi rst year a Brighton school boy has won the Championship of all State schools. Although the youngest boy running in the Championship events, at the Meeting, Jack Heagney proved un-beatable on the day, and won the long jump championship, the 120 yards championship, and the 220 yards championship, as well as the champi-onship of the Meeting. A splendid photo of John Heagney appears in last week’s issue of the Weekly Times, and we note that he is a nephew of Mr F. Jolly, the ex-consis-tant Victorian runner, and the winner of the Melbourne Hardware Plate, and many fi rst class Victoria Handicaps, including the Frankston Sheffi eld Handicap, and also the Frankston and Bendigo Easter Fair 220 yards events.

***ON Saturday evening, the 6th of No-vember, the many friends of Mr Geo

Denyer assembled by invitation, at Mr Girdleston’s house, Frankston, to express their pleasure at Mr Denyer’s promotion to a higher position in the Railway service. During the evening, Mr Gale in pre-senting Mr Denyer with a smokers’ outfi t, and Mrs Denyer with books where he expressed his pleasure and satisfaction of a 20 years’ association as fellow workman and friend. In the Railway service Mr Denyer’s services in the interests of his fellow man were recognized by his genuine expressions of regret at his loss, and pleasure at his promotion. Messrs McGrath, Croskell, and Nichols ably supported Mr Gale’s remarks. Mr Denyer, in replying, thanked all for their kind expressions towards his wife and himself, both by word and gifts. His time in Frankston had been a pleasant one, and regret-ted his departure from it and his many friends he had made. But there was always the satisfaction of meeting old friends, an opportunity he would gladly avail himself of. Mu-sical items were contributed during the evening by Messrs Wastill, Cro-skell, and McCombe, Miss F. Girdle-stone being the accompanist. A hearty vote of thanks, moved by Mr Gale to Mrs Girdlestone, for her kindness in supplying the room and piano for a very pleasant evening was carried unanimously.

***MORNINGTON Junction Miniature Rifl e Club.Much spirit was infused into this live club on Saturday last as

the fi rst shoot for the gold medal (pre-sented by Mr Walsh) took place. The excitement and rivalry was too much for some members who in practise have been looked up to as top notch-ers, for they went to pieces. Mr G. Scott, a young member, was the winner for the day, showing that by the system of handicapping adopted, it is possible for a junior shot to win against the more experienced. As the medal has to be won three times before becoming the property of any one and that on each win the member loses one third of his handicap, some exciting and keen shooting is looked forward to. The latest home illustrated papers and games were provided and out-door sport indulged in the afternoon proved a pleasant one. More residents of the district are joining and all are welcome.

***THERE was a good attendance of workers at the Recreation Reserve on Saturday last, when further progress was made in getting the ground in order for the Boxing Day sports. Af-ternoon tea was again provided by the ladies. The Sports Club committee held a meeting in the evening, when it was decided to hold a concert in aid of the Patriotic Fund on Boxing night, 27th Dec, the Mechanics’ committee hav-ing patriotically foregone their usual concert on that date, and granted the hall to the Sports Club.From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 November, 1915

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

MY name is Robin Tu and I am the lo-cal Audiologist for the Peninsula Com-munity. I would like to share some of my experiences with everyone.

Throughout my eight years of clini-cal experience, I have seen many types of hearing weaknesses caused by a variety of reasons. The most common cause that I observe in my daily work is still the natural aging of our hearing. The gradual decline in our hearing can dramatically impact our quality of life, making even the simplest activities in our day more diffi cult, which can eventually make us feel less inclined to socialise with our family and friends.

However, in recently years, I have noticed an increase in the number of clients experiencing hearing loss from not wearing satisfactory hearing pro-tection in a noisy work environment. As a result, they now strain to follow everyday conversations at home with their family. Many of those clients reported that they regretted this as they could have prevented their hearing loss if they knew to wear hearing protec-tion earlier.

In fact, it has been found that since 1950 to the present, the average vol-ume of music has increased by 39%! As an analogy, our hearing is like a ‘glass’ and the daily noise is ‘water’. So each noisy activity that you do: from the loud music at the gym to mowing the lawn, is all adding ‘water’ to the ‘glass’. The glass can only hold a certain amount of water before it overfi lls and pours out, which means the noise has caused temporary damage to our hearing. If these noisy activities are frequent enough then it will result in permanent damage.

So even our lives are noisier. Of course, it wouldn’t be very practicable to wear hearing protection all hours of the day, but it highlights the importance of getting our hearing regularly checked and monitored.

At Stay Tuned Hearing, we will look after your hearing needs by offering comprehensive hearing assessments and 30 days hearing aid tri-als (if required) with no cost and no obligation.

By Stuart McCulloughYOU can only deny it for so long. That’s because there’s no clear line between ‘youth’ and ‘middle age’ as such. One day, you’re young and swanning along in skinny jeans with a ridiculous haircut and enjoying the latest that modern music has to offer. Then, before you know what’s hap-pening and with no warning whatso-ever, putting on skinny jeans is like trying to stuff a sausage, your ridicu-lous haircut owes less to fl amboyance than it does to a chronic shortage of material and modern music does not so much make you want to dance as it does want to rip your ears off. It’s time to face up to the bitter reality: I am no longer young.

In truth, I’ve been aware for some time. But that doesn’t stop me from feeling a tiny bit sorry for myself. I probably feel this way every time I have a birthday. Come to think of it, the whole ‘birthday’ racket is prob-ably to blame. When you think about it, it’s ridiculous that we celebrate getting older every year. I can under-stand it when you’re little: it means presents and cake and family. But at a certain age, birthdays feel more administrative in nature. In an ideal world, birthdays would be celebrated less frequently, preferably in fi ve-year increments.

Realising that you’ve reached that magical tipping point after which pret-ty much everything is about a gradual decline is about so much more than merely the physical. Granted, there’s nothing worse that catching an ac-cidental glance of your increasingly

decrepit visage and recoiling. But if you, like me, have destroyed every mirror you own, there are other indi-cators you can use. For me, at least, there were plenty of signs to indicate that I had offi cially (and irretrievably) crossed over.

Vinyl. By which I mean small, cir-cular objects onto which you lower a

needle and they produce music. With-out any warning, I woke up and was obsessed with vinyl. This relatively recent development makes no sense at all. Sure, there was a record player in the house when I was growing up, but we weren’t allowed to touch it, lest we should damage my father’s ex-tensive collection of recordings by the

Randy Van Horne Singers. By the time we were old enough to be trusted, we weren’t interested; preferring cassettes instead. When compact discs came along, I was happy enough to aban-don vinyl without a second thought. Who was to know that, thirty years later, CDs would be good for not much more than resting your drink.

Now I am obsessed with the stuff. Push comes to shove, I might even prattle on about sound quality and warmth and whole bunch of other ma-larkey that even I don’t really believe. It means I end up spending hours trawling through second hand shops, trying to fi nd anything by The Randy Van Horne singers in mint condition.

Video. The fi rst time I clapped eyes on a video recorder, it seemed noth-ing short of a miracle. Forget fl ying to the moon – the ability to record epi-sodes of ‘Cop Shop’ whilst watching ‘The Love Boat’ surely ranks as hu-mankind’s crowning achievement. I couldn’t tell you when I last watched a video. I’m not even one hundred percent certain that I still own a VCR. What I do have, though, are plenty of videotapes. Boxes of them.

Kids today have no idea. They’re lucky if they know what to do with a DVD, must less a videotape. Precisely why I’ve kept my collection of videos is somewhat beyond me. Perhaps it’s because they represent some of my best work. I cannot help but fl ush with pride whenever I think of the time that I managed to perfectly edit out the ads during a screening of ‘Stalag 17’. It could have been the work of a professional. Young people fail to ap-

preciate what videotapes represent and how controversial they could be. Only once our school curriculums include ‘VHS versus Betamax’ as part of the history syllabus will the youth of to-day properly appreciate the confl ict that threaten to tear this nation apart.

Perspective. Young people look a lot younger than they used to. This becomes especially apparent when you’re out at night. Whereas once, everyone looked like you did with only the occasional older person fl oat-ing in the crowd like a geriatric crou-ton, now nobody looks old enough to drive. Luckily, I have no interest in going out and staying up late, prefer-ring instead to a cup of decaffeinated tea and a repeat screening of ‘A Touch of Frost’. On those occasions when we do decide to push on past ten o’clock and go and see a band, we inevitably need a nap fi rst and are lucky to make it half way through the set before we each turn to the other and agree that we have ‘made our point’ and can leave early.

Maybe it’s time to embrace it. So long skinny jeans – it was nice know-ing you. So what if I look as though I’m part through transforming into the Incredible Hulk? Or if hats are no longer a mere fashion statement but a necessity due to a lack of hair? Or if I can remember the 1980s and still have the occasional ‘acid wash fl ashback’? Deal with it. I am happy to have reached an age where candles on a birthday cake may activate the smoke alarm. Happy birthday to me. Woo hoo.

By David HawkinsDO you ever have trouble getting your kids to go to bed? Justine Clarke understands and she just might have an answer to your problem.

The all-round Australian talent and popular children’s entertainer is currently travelling the country with her 2015 show, the Pyjama Jam! Tour, following on the heels of the launch of her fi fth album, Pyjama Jam; an album of songs focused around the witching hour(s) for parents. “I really wanted to make a lullaby album but not one that assumed that the child was happily in bed and ready to sleep,” Justine explained.

As a parent of three, Justine is well versed in the challenges of the nightly bedtime routine, “There is quite a fractious energy at that hour of the night,” she said. “My six year-old fi ghts every aspect of it (going to bed).” And, like so many other Aussie parents, she often uses music to help soothe her kids through the ups & downs, “I think that the journey to bed can be quite a long and diffi cult one, so I wanted to make an album that went from bath time to bed time.”

One of the songs on the album, Bobby The Tractor, started life as a homespun tune that Justine wrote for her youngest. “I used to sing it to him as a lullaby but now it’s this really guitar-driven, rock & roll song.” The new version is a favourite of her own kids and even the actor playing the farmer in the video clip is actually Justine’s Uncle Bobby, the original inspiration. “He has a farm and he has a tractor. I must have

been sleep-deprived,” she laughs, “because he’s not a tractor.

The Pyjama Jam! Tour will be appearing at the Playhouse Theatre, here in Melbourne, but this is a different experience than her previous con-certs, “This year we’re playing in more intimate spaces,” Justine revealed, “so that all of the kids have a much richer experience.”

While larger auditoriums are the norm for kids’ concerts, she acknowledged that some ar-eas of those spaces offered less connection than seats at the front. The Pyjama Jam! Tour seeks to change that. “I really want this to be a special experience… An opportunity for preschoolers to go to their fi rst live music concert which, I feel, can make a really lasting impression.”

“Because it’s a soothing album, it’s also a soothing show. You can wear your pyjamas, you can bring your cuddly toy,” says Clarke. But she’s not just talking about the children; parents are also encouraged to get into the energy and slip on their comfy PJs.

“There’s no bells and whistles; the kids and their engagement with the music are the bells and whistles.”

The Pyjama Jam! Tour show will be at the Play House Theatre, Melbourne Arts centre, on Sunday 15th of November for four shows – 10am, 12pm, 2pm & 4pm. Tickets can be pur-chased via Ticketmaster (136 100) or through the Arts Centre (1300 182 183).

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyPENINSULA Old Boys sit on top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after knocking over Long Island comfort-ably on Saturday.

Chasing 157 for victory, the Old Boys cruised past the total three wickets down and fi nished the day 6/212.

The Old Boys’ top order all pretty much got going except for skipper Matt Hyden who was caught behind off Jake Middleton for 16 after bang-ing a four and six.

Dylan O’Malley scored 40 at the top of the batting line-up, Wade Pelz-er opened with 33, Eivion Bowen hit 46 and Will Crowder continued his outstanding start to the season with his third straight half century, batting at fi ve. Crowder has 168 runs for the season in three innings.

Simon Dignan was the most suc-cessful bowler for the Islanders with 2/39 from nine overs.

Crib Point moved inside of the top bracket after infl icting Rye’s second outright loss in just three matches on Saturday.

Magpies stalwart Glenn Barclay broke club records the week before with his destructing 9/24 off 18 overs, setting up the commanding win.

The Demons were already staring down the barrel after the fi rst day’s play when they were all out for 67 in their fi rst innings and two wickets down in their second, still 13 runs be-hind Crib Point’s quick fi re 6/106.

There was no luck on day two for the Demons either. Rye made 126 in their second innings, Tom Baron top scoring with 65, while Harrison Wil-son made 16 batting at nine.

With more than 60 overs to make more than 85 runs, the Magpies got

there six wickets down.Adam Keulen at the top of the order

made 47.There were some nervous moments

for the Pies in the chase, losing fi ve batsmen for less than 10 runs. Brad Davidson strode to the crease and took control.

Langwarrin and Somerville played out a draw in their one-day match on Saturday at Lloyd Park.

The Kangaroos batted fi rst and mustered 182 in their 40 overs.

DISTRICTBy IT GullyPEARCEDALE remains in equal top spot on the MPCA District ladder after getting out of jail against Seaford Ti-gers.

The Panthers were defending an ordi-nary total of 128, however, did have the Tigers on the back foot early, resuming at 1/7.

The Tigers started extremely well with opener Jon Plakourakis scoring 25 and Aaron Mountney contributing 18. The visitors were cruising at 1/42.

However, within a blink of an eye, that score line dropped to 8/66. The Tigers were bowled out for 81 in 43.5 overs.

Kain Smith and Shayne Gillings were superb for the Panthers with 4/7 and 4/20 respectively.

After snaring 5/57, Jordy Watters made 13 batting at 10 for the Tigers.

Pearcedale went out to bat again and fi nished at 3/65 with Shane Maggs (27) and Chris Dew (31) both unbeaten.

Carrum’s disastrous start to the sea-son continued on Saturday after they were smashed by Mt Martha.

Resuming at 0/5 after the Reds set them 177 for victory, the Lions lasted just 54.5 overs before losing the match.

John Mitchell top scored at the top of the innings with 27, while Cory Foster made 18 and Liam Dobson 14 at the bottom of the order.

Mt Martha skipper Curtis Stone was superb for the winners with 5/33 from 19 overs. Kyle Bendle snared 2/11 from 7.5 overs.

Red Hill maintained its dominance over the competition with a strong vic-tory over Boneo.

However, the Hillmen didn’t have things all their own way.

The Pandas certainly set the Hillmen a challenge, scoring 182 on day one.

The Hillmen resumed at 0/10 and looked extremely shaky at one point when they were 4/27. Simon Dart (0) and Matt Merifi eld were both back in the sheds.

Things became a little worse when

Andrew Mock went with the score on just 44.

However, Riley Shaw took com-mand with 96 and Brent Martin stuck around also with a more than handy 60 to take the score to 223 from 79 overs.

Sean Spencer picked up three wick-ets for the Pandas while Cam Wil-liams and Daniel Wilson claimed a couple each.

Delacombe Park is just percentage out of the top four after beating Main Ridge.

Luke Collins (2/23) and Gareth Wy-att (2/35) were the only Main Ridge wicket takers.

In reply, the visitors were bowled out for 174.

Travis Barker did everything he could to get his side over the line with 86 but no other batsman could stick around long enough to get the addi-tional 11 runs for victory.

Once again it was Shane Deal who stepped up to get valuable wickets, claiming 3/33.

Flinders took a massive scalp on Saturday, knocking over Seaford by more than 70 runs.

Defending 8/242, Flinders bowled out its more fancied opponent for 169 in just 48.5 overs.

Ryan McQueen (27), Paul Hartle (21), Chris Cleef (41) and Dil Pageni (42) fl ew the fl ag for Seaford but fi ve scores under fi ve wasn’t enough to challenge.

Blake Hogan-Keogh was outstand-ing for Flinders with 5/28 from 11 overs.

In the fi nal game, Baden Powell took hold of top spot on the ladder with a 10-wicket victory over Heath-erhill.

The Hills batted fi rst and were bowled out for 93. Baden Powell got the runs without loss.

FOOTY NEWSBy Toe PuntSORRENTO has landed multiple Peninsula Team of the Year centre half forward Scott Lockwood.

Lockwood was said to be on the move to an amateur club closer to the city but after a few chats with new coach Nick Jewell, decided to go to Sorrento.

Mt Eliza team mate and hard running defender Jack Egan will join Lockwood at the Sharks.

Whilst it’s big news for the Sharks, Jewell played it down.

“Look, we are just replacing at the moment. We get Lockwood for Leigh Poholke and Egan for Troy Schwarze. If you like, Nick Corp, who we recruited last week, is also a replacement for Ryan Jeffries who has retired,” Jewell said.

Sorrento is “very close” with one other big name.

The quiet word coming out of Sorrento, but is yet to be confi rmed, is that Myles Pitt has a serious back injury and star players Daniel Grant and Jon Croad are both headed for Queensland.

In other news:Rye has lost Team of the Year forward Andrew Dean to Tooradin. The Seagulls were hopeful of landing Jye Lloyd also but he’s going nowhere according to Rye.Frankston Bombers have picked up Jarryd Amalfi from Langwarrin and four players who have been at Frankston Dolphins. Two are Bombers boys in Ryan Marks-Logan and Dale Sutton while Sam Fox and Ryan Kitchen have also signed. Both Bombers and Dolphins say Fox will play more games at their respective clubs this season.Dromana has welcomed back premiership player Beau McMurray and recruited former Tyabb and Langwarrin forward Matt Dimkos. Dimkos needs to get his body right to be of any value to the Tigers after playing less than half of all available games in the past three seasons.Somerville stars Ben Crowe, Steve Crowe, Jacob Wilson and a few others sent some shockwaves through the Eagles’ nest last week when they were pictured on the Toe Punt Facebook page wearing Crib Point jumpers and shaking the hands of Magpies’ star Michael Cook. It was all a prank during the buck’s weekend of Wilson.
