BEACHGOERS and boaters are being warned to take care around water in the summer months ahead.

The 2014-15 Drowning Report was released last week by the state govern-ment and while there were no fatali-ties in Kingston the report highlighted some disturbing trends.

Overall the number of drowning deaths fell to 39 compared to 47 in 2013-14 and 35 men died with alcohol and risky behaviour contributing fac-tors in several deaths.

Nine deaths were boating related drownings.

Most drownings occurred off coastal areas (49 per cent) compared to inland waterways (31 per cent).

Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett said “the loss of a loved one through drowning is a tragedy”.

“Thousands of people enjoy Vic-toria’s waterways every year and we want people to take care and look out for each other this summer,” she said.

Four children, aged under four, died from drowning, and there were at least another 20 near drownings. Most of these drownings occurred around the home – in bathtubs, spas and private swimming pools.

“Always supervise children around

water and make sure home pools are properly fenced. Everyone can play a role in ensuring our kids are safe around the water,” Ms Garrett said.

Lifesaving patrols are starting across Kingston beaches again but this does not mean beachgoers can become complacent while swimming off shore.

Life Saving Victoria operations man-ager Greg Scott said people should swim between the red and yellow flags wherever possible.

“If our lifesavers can’t see you, they can’t save you” Mr Scott said.

“While we encourage people to get outdoors and enjoy our coast, it’s so important that people realise just how dangerous beaches can be - even on those days of ‘perfect’ beach weather.”

“Rip currents can occur at all beach-es, even in the bays. They are extreme-ly dangerous and difficult to spot.”

A man drowned after being swept away off Frankston pier last Wednes-day afternoon (25 November).

Life Saving Victoria advises beach-goers to check the weather condi-tions including tides and swells and be aware of any forecasted changes. Safety signs highlighting local hazards should always be read before entering the water.

Last season lifesavers and lifeguards performed 266 rescues across the state and attended to 1150 first aid cases.

Fun on the ocean waveUP to 20 new sailors enjoyed the fun at Chelsea Yacht Club’s Discover Sailing Day, Saturday – especially the chance to skipper a yacht and handle the sails.The club provided four-metre-long Pacer yachts for the event and the assistance of instructors so guests of all ages could get a feel for sailing and the thrill of racing.Vice Commodore Linda Morris said the club, at the end of Kelvin Gr, was on the look-out for new members and welcomed inquiries. “We have no rules on specific classes of yachts, so members can bring their own boat along and benefit from the assistance of qualified instructors.”Races are held each Saturday afternoon, 2pm, over the season, with Ms Morris saying members enjoyed the club’s social activities as much as the racing.

CONSULTATION on the next stage of the Kingston Bay Trail will begin after councillors unanimously voted to start seeking community views about the construction of the shared pedestrian and bike path from the Mentone Life Saving Club to the northern end of the Mordialloc foreshore.

The new section will link up with the recently completed Charman Rd to the Mentone Lifesaving Club stage of the Bay Trail.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the Bay Trail is a fantastic com-munity asset that makes it easier and safer for the community to walk, ride and run along Kingston’s beautiful foreshore area.

“Council had received strong posi-tive support for continuing the Bay

Trail, which would bring Melbourne one step closer to our vision for a sin-gle continuous bike path right around Port Phillip Bay,” Cr Bearsley said.

Cr Bearsley said the community would have their chance to share their views on the project through extensive consultation to be held early next year.

“We’ll be seeking the community’s views on how and where the missing section of path should be built.

“We’re confident we can strike a good balance between meeting the community’s expectations of com-pleting the Bay Trail but doing so in a manner that makes good use of exist-ing pathways to minimise vegetation removal.”

Bicycle Network CEO Craig Rich-ards said the group strongly supported

the City of Kingston’s move to com-plete the Bay Trail.

“The Bay Trail is a favourite amongst Victorian bike riders. Extend-ing it all the way to Mordialloc will give more locals access to the trail and will make it easier for them to get on their bikes and start riding,” Mr Rich-ards said.

Currently, the trail is a crucial miss-ing link in Melbourne’s bike path net-work. When completed, Kingston res-idents will finally be able to access an off-road network that can take them as far as Sanctuary Lakes, Craigieburn, Ringwood, and Mt Eliza.

POLICE will patrol Kingston beaches over summer in an all-terrain vehicle thanks to financial backing from Kingston Council, Bendigo Bank and the Mordialloc Rotary Club.

Troublemakers may face the long reach of the law on beaches.

“It’s an important part of our foreshore and we’ve got to make sure it’s safe,” Cr Geoff Gledhill said.

“These little vehicles are really effective at getting into places [instead of] a patrol car pulling up at a carpark and having officers trudge down the sand.”

Kingston Local Area Commander, Inspector Bruce Wemyss, welcomed the council decision to contribute funding.

“These vehicles ensure police have mobile access to our beachfronts through the warmer weather. The visible presence of the vehicle on the sand assists us in prevent-ing and detecting crime and deterring anti-social behav-iour providing a point of contact for those on the sand.

“The vehicle is also very manoeuvrable meaning that it can get from point to point effectively and move into areas that may not be accessible by a standard police vehicle.”

The Parkdale branch of Bendigo Bank will contribute $5000 to buy the police buggy, Kingston Council will make a $5000 contribution and Mordialloc Rotary will chip in $2000.

THE writers and books that have influenced author George Ivanoff’s career will be his topic at the final Mentone Public Library presenta-tion of the year, 11am, Saturday 12 December.

He will be supported by emerging writers Jessi Hooper, of Mentone Girls’ Secondary College, and Joe Bosa, of Mentone Grammar.

“Mr Ivanoff has been mentor to Joe for many years through his author-in-residency with Mentone Grammar, while Jessi has blossomed into a confident and insightful writer since we first met her in 2013,” library spokesperson Julia Reichstein said.

An author appreciation ceremony for the writers and end of year break-up will follow Mr Ivanoff’s presenta-tion.

CHELSEA SES crews received more than 400 calls for assistance from resi-dents of Parkdale, Waterways, Aspendale and Chelsea Heights as strong overnight winds wrought havoc, last Wednesday (25 November).

SES spokesman Phil Wall said the pager roused volunteers from their beds just af-ter 6am, when visible signs of the dam-age caused by the cool change that roared across Melbourne’s southern suburbs be-came apparent.

Len and Judy Millership, of Kennedy Av, Chelsea Heights, woke to the sound of a large old liquid amber tree coming down onto their back fence at 5am.

“We were going to have it chopped down after Christmas but the storm came and crack, down she came,” Mrs Miller-ship said.

“The SES were wonderful. We are pen-sioners and we thought we would have to pay them but they said, “No, you don’t owe us a thing.”

In Aspendale, a large branch from a nature strip tree came down onto a car parked in the driveway of a Bega Ct house and, in Parkdale, a large tree came down onto telephone wires.

As the winds continued, so did the calls for assistance making it a busy day for SES crews at Chelsea.

Arrests over car thefts, deception, drugsKINGSTON police arrested four teenagers in Patterson Lakes, Friday and Sunday, and recovered two high-priced sedans stolen from Brighton on Wednesday night. The teens, aged 18, 17, 16 and 15, were apprehended in Tradewinds Lane charged over the thefts of a Volvo and Lexus which are alleged to have been stolen in aggravated burglaries and used in two petrol drive offs, and two thefts of items from other vehicles, including credit cards. It is alleged the teens had drugs of dependence in their possession. Police allege they had smashed the cars’ side windows and used garage remote controls to enter garages, then houses, where the found the cars’ keys. Police say thieves routinely park stolen cars several streets away from their address to evade detection. Two of the youths were remanded in custody and two bailed. They will appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court and children’s court, later this month.

$100,000 car theftA WHITE 2014 Toyota Landcruiser was stolen overnight from a house in Collocott St, Mordial-loc, Monday. Thieves may have entered via an unlocked front door before finding keys to the $100,000 vehicle, registration 1CU3LG. Nothing else was stolen in the raid.

Asleep at the wheelA MAN was found asleep in a car full of alleg-edly stolen property in Swansea Walk, Chelsea, 1.15pm, Friday. Inside the car – which was sporting false number plates – police allegedly found satellite-navigation equipment, cricket bat, handbags, CDs, credit cards, and golf clubs. The man, 37, of Melton West, was charged with handling stolen goods and, possibly, car theft, and remanded in custody. He will appear at Moorab-bin Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Door jemmiedJEWELLERY, electronics and cash were stolen from a house in Lower Dandenong Rd, Park-dale, Thursday morning. Thieves jemmied open a front door obscured by bushes. They went through mail on the kitchen bench and turned off the phone and wifi before going upstairs to steal an Apple Mac laptop and iPhone. Anyone with information is asked to call Kingston police on 9556 6565.

Guns stolenOFFENDERS forced a rear louvre window to enter a Lamana St, Mordialloc, factory, 11pm, Friday, before stealing two shotguns and two .22 calibre rifles from a locked gun safe. Anyone with information is asked to call Kingston police on 9556 6565.

Rooftop entryOFFENDERS climbed on to the roof of a Vietnamese restaurant, Nepean Hwy, Chelsea, Thursday night, and removed skylights and ceiling panels, and kicked through plasterwork, to gain entry. They stole a quantity of cash in the register before leaving. Anyone with information is asked to call Kingston police on 9556 6565.

Playing catch-upPOLICE responding to calls of an “erratic driver” in Mentone, 7.13pm, Monday, attempted to intercept the car but – under Victoria police’s “no-pursuit” policy – had to abort the chase when the driver accelerated. A short time later, following the car’s direction, they saw a small crowd in Collins St gathered around the same car, which had crashed through a fence near the railway line. Witnesses said the driver had run off towards Balcombe Rd. After being inter-cepted in Elizabeth St, police say the man threw a bag of drugs of dependence onto the roof of a nearby house. A Mentone man, 45, was later interviewed over the drugs and traffic matters.

Bumper Christmas Meeting Saturday, 5th Saturday 2015

Balnarring Picnic Racing Club Christmas Meeting

The Balnarring Picnic Racing Club will be holding their Christmas meeting on Saturday December 5. This is the meeting where many companies and family groups attend and have their staff & family Christmas parties in the beautiful grounds of the racecourse. Much work goes into preparing the grounds and course for the day and the following is just a small insight into what occurs before the racing commences. Michael Binney is a Vice President of the club and as track manager his race day commences well before the crowds arrive.

It is around six o clock in the morning at the Balnarring racecourse. As the light starts to lengthen over the racecourse, a lone horse gallops around the track with a former jockey on the horses back.Having a horse gallop over the racecourse on the morning of the race meeting is a requirement of Racing Victoria. As the track manager my role is to get feedback from the rider as to what condition the track is in. After the gallop is completed, and over the preceding two days prior to the meeting some ninety readings have to be taken from given points around the track. These readings are taken with a device called the “Penetrometer.” Armed with all of the above information I then make an assessment of what rating the track shall be for the days racing. Once I have made my assessment of the track rating, I send that information to Racing Australia who must receive it by 7am. Every race club that race that day must comply with the regulations regarding track ratings.The reason that the readings have to be submitted by 7am is for trainers to assess whether any horses they have racing that day will handle the track conditions. If they a trainer decides that the track condition may not suit there horse or its chance of winning, they can scratch the horse. But they the trainer is also bound by the rule that states, if they do not scratch the horses prior to 7.30 am they may incur a fine. This article gives you a look behind the scenes of what has to be done to conduct a race meeting. In the next article I shall take you behind the scenes again.

Michael Binney, Track Manager

MORE arrests follow the alleged carjacking of a 2008 Ford XR6 sedan in Bartlett St, Frankston South, 2.40am, Friday 6 November.

A Keysborough youth, 17, and Springvale South man, 21, were charged last week. Earlier, a 15 year old, of Patterson Lakes, was arrested and charged with car theft, as well as serious driving offences.

The pair was allegedly among a group of up to five men in a stolen BMW X5 which rammed the car, being driven by a 20-year-old man, and then threatened him with a shotgun and a handgun be-fore stealing it.

The group then drove off in the two cars, with the BMW involved in a fatal collision, Monday 9 November, in Mordialloc.

The Keysborough youth was arrested at his home, Tuesday, and charged with armed robbery, assault and theft of motor cars. He was remanded in custody to appear at Dandenong Children’s Court on 11 December. The 21 year old was charged with armed robbery, assault, three counts of theft of motor car, possess drug of dependence and other related offences. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today (Monday). Both were arrested by Frankston Em-bona taskforce detectives and the Dog Squad.

The Ford, with original registration plates SAM 95, has not been recovered.

The pair is among several people police would like to talk to in relation to a spate of recent crimes and car thefts, Detective Senior Constable Marty O’Brien, of the Embona Armed Robbery Task Force, said.

Another teenager, 18, of Endeavour Hills, was

arrested the previous week at a house in Gweno Av, Frankston, over the carjacking and theft of the BMW – stolen from a house in Doncaster earlier in the month – and charged with similar offences.

Both are suspected of being members of the Apex gang, whose members have been involved in crime sprees throughout the south-eastern suburbs.

Police bemoan the “enormous number of of-fences” being committed by various crime gangs – not just Apex. They say recent arrests have “upset the momentum” but that other gang members will probably “step up” to fill the void.

“I am glad we have interrupted them; we have made big inroads on the local front,” Detective O’Brien said.

The rise and prominence of youth crime gangs, perhaps with as many as 60 members often linked through cultural ties, is weighing heavily on po-lice.

“They gather along tribal and cultural lines but they don’t respect their real culture,” Detective O’Brien said.

“A number of intervention programs have been attempted but these have failed to curb their crimi-nal activities.

“I plead with the parents of these youths to scru-tinise their behaviour and associations.”

The joining of Maori and Sudanese gangs on crime sprees over the past 12 months is of special concern.

So is the apparent realisation, especially by Is-lander gangs, that they can use their physical size and weight to intimidate local youths.

“We are getting to the stage where local youths won’t walk down the streets of Frankston anymore because they fear trouble,” Detective O’Brien said.

BONBEACH Aged Care residents know that age is no barrier to sharing in the spirit of Christmas.

On Saturday, they invited the wider commu-nity to donate toys and food for needy children, which were picked-up and delivered by two tri-cyclists and eight motorcyclists. The gathering enjoyed a sausage sizzle, Christmas festivities and activities for the children.

Facility manager Jasmine Gunaratnam said the toy run was an important part of the calendar, encouraging residents to participate in commu-nity events.

“Our focus is on ability, not age,” she said. “Our residents have a generous spirit and we look for ways to empower them and to continue to be a part of our local community.

“We want residents to feel more than just included in the community, we want them to feel that they are the community.”

The toys, gifts and food travelled to Rosebud Secondary College as part of a major toy run.

Donations were divided between Southern Peninsula Food for All, Rosebud Salvation Army, Society of St Vincent de Paul, and Morn-ington and Westernport Community Support, Hastings.

“The toy run was a wonderful opportunity for residents to share in the spirit of giving and help the needy have a better Christmas this year,” Ms Gunaratnam said.

The 70 bed aged care facility is at 440 Station St, Bonbeach.

Good cheer: Resident Pauline Tanti gets some Christmas cheer from Santa, Tony Lupone, a resident’s son.

Look for kingfishTHE state government is joining the growing ranks of anglers in tracking down kingfish in Port Phillip.

The prized fish is coming under scrutiny as part of a government plan to get one million Victorians fishing by 2020.

A two-year study being undertaken by Fisheries Victoria is aimed at ensuring the sustainability of kingfish populations and involves anglers reporting their catches and donating kingfish frames for scientific analysis.

“Kingfish have enjoyed a resur-gence in popularity among saltwater anglers who consider them great sport and very good eating,” Fisheries Victoria executive director Travis Dowling said.

“On a single day last February, around 100 boats actively targeted kingfish near the entrance to Port Phillip so we know Melbourne’s an-glers are very keen on the species.

“Fisheries managers want to learn more about kingfish populations in-cluding their growth rates, population structures and spawning habits.

“[The study] will also trial the use of satellite tags to better understand kingfish movement patterns, includ-ing depth and water temperature preferences.”

Mr Dowling said keen anglers could help with the study by donating kingfish frames and keeping records of their catches over summer.

He said scientists will extract oto-liths (ear bones) from kingfish frames to determine their age and use chem-istry analyses to investigate kingfish temperature preferences.

Interested anglers can call Dr Corey Green, the study’s lead fisheries sci-entist, on 5258 0275 or email [email protected]

THE lost campaign to continue com-mercial fish netting in Port Phillip has had a devastating impact on established participants.

One Rye fisherman of long standing was too upset to talk last week with his livelihood – and way of life – coming to an end.

Seafood Industry Victoria CEO Johnathon Davey said many bay fisher-men, after fighting the impending ban for five or even 10 years, had “devel-oped mental health issues which have not been thought through” by decision-makers.

The Fisheries Amendment Bill 2015 passed in state parliament last week specifies that net fishing will be phased out by 2022, with Corio Bay closed to all netting from 1 April 2018.

This was a key commitment of the state government’s Target One Mil-lion plan for recreational fishing, which aims to get more people fishing, more often, and increasing participation to one million by 2020.

Proponents of the ban say it will in-crease recreational catch rates and the size of fish available for anglers over the next seven years.

But commercial netters, including those at the southern end of the bay, point out that they have sustainably netted quality table fish for generations alongside recreational anglers. They feel hard hit by the ban which they say will deny buyers access to fresh fish at the Melbourne markets, and that com-pensation packages are inadequate.

The most popular species sought are

flathead, whiting, bream, snapper, gum-my shark, squid, garfish, trevally, flat-head, barracouta and slimly mackerel.

The legislation also specifies how compensation will be determined for the 43 commercial licence holders and provides for a non-netting fishery – such as long-lining – of up to eight li-cence holders from 1 April 2022.

Seafood Industry Victoria’s Davey said the “vast majority of the commu-nity does not understand what the ban will mean. By April, when the licences are bought out, about 500-600 tonnes of fresh fish annually will no longer be available to consumers,” he said.

“We are asking the government ‘Where will the fish come from?’ That’s what we would like to know. Restric-tions in other areas [of the state and nationally] mean we will not be able to cater to demand and this will mean consumers have to buy imported fish.”

He scoffed at claims the bill included a “generous compensation package”, saying the loss of the industry would fi-nancially ruin previously sound family businesses.

The decision to reduce payments over the seven-year buy-out period “to en-courage early exit from the fishery” was also gutting fishermen whose lives were being turned upside down.

“The bay’s a unique fishery,” he said. “It offers a sustainable resource and fishermen use methods that are ecologi-cally friendly.”

He said markets would be affected by a shortage of quality local fish which would then have to be imported.

Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford said compensation payments would de-pend on catch histories and “will pro-vide proper recognition of individual investment and loss of income to licen-sees”.

“The government appreciates that this decision impacts on the livelihood of licence holders, many of whom are multi-generational fishers with strong family connections to the industry.

“The phasing out commercial net fishing will get more people fishing, more often, right here on Melbourne’s doorstep.

“[It] will attract more visitors to this prime fishing destination, boosting lo-cal economies and supporting local businesses.”

Melbourne Seafood Centre chairman Andrew McLaughlin said the “big-gest loser” would be the consumer. “They’ve got a beautiful array of fish that’s available to them in retail shops and restaurants.

“They all utilise that fish and it’s not going to be available to them anymore. And it’s the sort of thing that they won’t realise until it’s gone.”

THE opening of the tennis season was celebrated at Somerville on Sat-urday last, when a team from the Na-val Base engaged the local players. After an enjoyable afternoon’s sport, victory rested with the home team. Refreshments were provided for the visitors and public by Mr G. Keast, who has been re-elected to the posi-tion of President of the Somerville Club.

***AT a public meeting held at Mor-dialloc during the week, Cr. White presiding, it was resolved to make an effort to give the soldiers at Lang-warrin Camp a Xmas treat. A strong committee was formed, and £30 was collected at the meeting. Mrs Coyle was deputed to act as organiser and collector at Frankston, and she will be pleased to receive donations in cash or kind, which will be acknowledged through these col-umns. Five pounds has already been col-lected to date. We expect a liberal re-sponse to such an appeal.

***The wedding of Mr William Herbert (Paddy) Gomm, ‘”Glenboya” Somer-ville, to Jean, eldest daughter of the late William Firth and Mrs Firth, “Or-kney Farm”, Somerville, was quietly celebrated at St Auselm’s Church of England, Middle Park, on November 20th, the Rev A. P. McFarlane being the officiating clergyman. After the ceremony the party mo-tored to the residence of Mrs J. D.Graf’s “Arundel”, Bloomfield

road, Ascot Vale (sister of the bride-groom) where the wedding breakfast was partaken of, and a very enjoyable time was spent, the happy couple left later for a short honeymoon.

***AT the conclusion of the business of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council on Thursday, Driver A. G. Young, who is at present on a fur-lough after having served some fif-teen months at the front, received a warm welcome from the President and Councillors assembled. Congratulatory remarks were made on his return and hopes expressed that he would soon be fully restored to health. Driver Young, in respond-ing, thanked the Crs for the unexpect-ed honor they had conferred upon him, and said that as soon as he was fit he was prepared to resume his du-ties at the front.

***THE following is a report of a com-bined meeting of the Tyabb ladies Red Cross branch, with A. N. A. committee, forwarded to us by the secretary: —At the invitation of the Combined Picnic and A.N A. day committee, the Tyabb Ladies Red Cross branch met them in conference on Friday night, 26th ultimo. It was extremely gratifying to the combined committee to note the in-tense interest taken by the ladies in the doings of the committee, by such a large attendance. The chairman, on opening the meeting, gave a short, descriptive account of the doings and future aims of the committee, and

in his concluding remarks called for suggestions from the ladies as to the most fitting way they thought they could help best on A.N.A. day. After a general conversation it was finally decided that a Grand Fete should be held on the recreation ground on A.N.A. day, that the ladies would supervise the stalls, and other special items of interest, while the gentlemen carried out a programme of amusing competitions within the arena.

***THE usual good attendance was again present at the Red Cross social, on the 19th ult. The fund will benefit to the extent of over £3. The sum of £2 11s was also raised by raffling a handsome home-made cosy, and a bottle of champagne, both gifts of Mrs L. Nichol. Mr H. Simcock, of Somerville, suc-ceeded in winning the champagne, and Miss E. Hollier the cosy. This local branch has received a free roll of flannel, valued at £3 12s from the Central Depot, for having purchased a like amount during November. Up to the present the ladies have been making up two of these rolls into garments each month. Up to the present time very little progress has been made by the fruitgrowers’ asso-ciation towards taking over the Gov-ernment Cool Stores. The committee found that there are many problems to be faced, and that some consider-ation is necessary before taking the last step.

***

REFERENCE was recently made in “The Age” to a family of seven sons, all of whom were enlisted for active service. This record has now been equalled by the family of Mrs Fisher, of Newell street, Footscray, who also has seven sons serving in the Expedi-tionary Force. Brigadier-General R. E. Williams, State Commandant, stated on Thurs-day that he had received the follow-ing particulars with regard to the family. The names of the seven sons were as follows:—Sergeant-Major E. Fisher, D.C.M., who also saw ser-vice in South Africa; Lieutenant W. Fisher, of Frankston, twice wounded at the Dardenelles; Sergeant T. J. Fisher, wounded at the Dardenelles; Sergeant-Major T. R. Fisher; Corpo-ral M. J. Fisher, killed in action at the Dardenelles ; Private G. Fisher, and Private Eli Fisher. The record is a particularly fine one, in as much as that in a family of seven sons one holds commissioned rank, and no fewer than four are non- commis-sioned officers.

***DANDENONG Market. Monday, Nov 30th. Alex. Scott and Co., re-port:— A large number of milkers and springers forward and prices were again firmer. Milkers from £9 2s 6d to £17 10. Springers from £10 to £22, store cattle, heavy yarding and prices about the same.

***From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 December, 1915

Shirt fronts show reality of family violenceA CONFRONTING project focused on domestic violence is on display at Chisholm TAFE’s campus in Frankston.

The student initiated ‘Counting Women’ T-Shirt Project, has a T-shirt for each woman in Australia murdered by a partner or ex-partner this year.

Each T-shirt lists the woman’s name and details where possible and is accompanied with relevant newspaper articles and a blackboard updated with the current death toll, 78 in 2015.

Chisholm group coordinator of community services Dr Ilsa Evans said the project had been a pivotal assignment for Diploma of Community Services students.

“Highlighting this topical issue is of critical importance to all members of our community and we see family violence not just a personal issue - but a community one,” Dr Evans said.

“We want this project to be an important representation of this serious topic and ensure our community understands the impact it causes”.

The project was started after Rosie Batty, Australian of the Year, visited Chisholm TAFE’s Time to Change community forum to discuss family violence.

The students aim to use research from Destroy The Joint, an online community for gender equality, to maintain the display as an ongoing visual representation of domestic violence.

Last Wednesday (25 November) was White Ribbon Day, a day

dedicated to raising awareness to stop men’s violence against women in Australia where more than one woman a week is killed by a current or former partner.

Anyone who has experienced, or is at risk of, family and domestic violence and/or sexual assault can

call 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) for counselling and help. Call 000 in an emergency.

Make it to market


By Stuart McCulloughPITY the youth. Once you could be young and behave like a complete twerp and (relatively speaking) very few people would know about it. It was all part of growing up. You could do or say something irretrievably stu-pid, make a total goose of yourself and learn something from the experience. With any luck, these missteps might even make you a better person. The rules, however, have changed. Now we have the Internet and all kinds of social media and the means by which to make a huge spanner of yourself in front of a vast audience have never been more accessible.

A few weeks ago, a private school student succeeded in humiliating him-self by making some stupid comments on Facebook. In short, he lorded it over his fellow students solely be-cause he’d attended a private school. He even went so far as to thank his parents for having the vision to send him to such a prestigious educational institution before imploring fellow students to say ‘hi’ to him one day in the future, when he’s their boss. Not so very long ago, if such thoughts had been expressed aloud, they’d have been greeted with incredulity, some name-calling and an atomic wedgie. But it doesn’t work like that anymore.

Nowadays, being an adolescent who acts like a dill isn’t something done in comparative private. Rather, it can now land you on the front page of a major metropolitan newspaper. That, in turn, means a whole bunch of peo-ple who are older and, at least in the-ory, wiser will make comments about

your stupid comments that are, them-selves, teetering dangerously towards being silly. The resulting maelstrom of absurdity that followed was a sight (and sound) to behold.

I wouldn’t call it a ‘controversy’ as such. More a brouhaha of epic pro-portions (and if anything deserves

the mantle of ‘brouhaha’, it’s this). As I drove home from work, the re-percussions of ‘Twerp-Gate’ were everywhere on the radio. People were ringing in, aching to pass judgment on the school kid responsible for these ill-considered remarks. Many could not contain their fury, treating the

Facebook remarks less like the ram-blings of teenager on social media and more like a declaration of class war. Had both tar and feathers been read-ily available, doubtless many of them would gladly have metered out their own brand of rough justice.

But it wasn’t just ordinary punters ringing in to vent their fury. Column-ists wasted precious ink by providing detailed analyses of the Facebook comments and pontificating at length about what such comments meant about our society as a whole; the con-flict between public and private edu-cation and how such remarks pose a threat to our broader social cohesion. All of it was nonsense. It’s worth re-membering that the people writing these profoundly stupid things are paid professionals. The child responsi-ble for the Facebook post was merely an amateur.

As the talkback frenzy continued, I couldn’t help but wonder what it all meant. Plainly, there were some obvi-ous lessons to be learned; chief among them being that the time has come to abolish talk back radio altogether given that it has so plainly outlived its usefulness. It’s also clear that ‘out-rage’ is now a form of entertainment all by itself. Worst of all, it now seems that the space left for young people to make mistakes without being pilloried by a bunch of adults frothing at the mouth has been vastly reduced.

After several days that made the Salem Witch Trials look like a minor misunderstanding in comparison, I began to reflect upon the many, many stupid things I did as a teenager. To take but one example of my youthful

exuberance gone horribly awry, for several years I sported a ponytail. I also had acid wash jeans, boots with buckles and earrings. No, really. I must have looked like a nerdy pirate. If that doesn’t deserve an entire after-noon of calls to the wireless, I don’t know what does. And yet, these atroci-ties were not front-page news. I was allowed to be a bit of an idiot until I figured things out for myself.

Let me be blunt; the Facebook post was arrogant and silly. His peers told him so. In fact, the other students on the page held him accountable. That’s probably as it should be. Being young is a fragile thing. Humiliation is an inevitable part of growing up and it’s how you figure out where the bounda-ries are. I suspect that many of the outraged hoards pictured this young person basking in the controversy whilst luxuriating in a castle, sitting on an iron throne and stroking a bald cat whilst planning world domination. I very much doubt it.

I suspect that the teenager, his par-ents and the school involved were all embarrassed. A little embarrassment can be a good thing, but it’s important to keep a sense of proportion. Upon reflection, maybe I should have called talkback radio. Perhaps even written a letter to the editor. If I were more technologically capable, I might even have gone onto Facebook. I wouldn’t have posted a rambling message of support. Just a photo. Of me as a teen-ager, complete with ponytail, earrings, boots and acid wash jeans. That, I feel, would have been enough.

HEAD on down to Mornington Park this Thursday and see 3AW’s Neil Mitchell broadcast live, thanks to Bayside Alfa Romeo. He’ll be there from 8.30 through until midday, talk-ing about the issues facing Melbourne and the country, as well as draw-ing the winner of “Neil’s Valuable Player” from a pool of weekly win-ners throughout the year.

“Neil’s a doyenne of news broad-casters and he will be broadcasting from Mornington Park. It’ll be great for Mornington and great for the Peninsula – a unique event for locals and car enthusiasts alike”, says Brad Fitzsimmons from Bayside Automo-tove Group.

“Plus we’re going to see someone drive away in a $30,000-plus Alfa Romeo Julietta.”

Neil Mitchell will also be unveil-ing the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider – the vehicle’s Australian debut. “The 4C’s obviously a very unique car, there’s

about 100 in Australia, but this is the first Spider that’s been seen!”

Each week the winner of “Neil’s Valuable Player” gets to drive an Alfa Romeo for the weekend, and goes into the draw to win the Guillietta at the end of the year.

“This will be the second one given away through Neil Mitchell and 3AW.It’ll be a live broadcast this year, so it’s sure to be an exciting event. There’ll be coffee and food available on site, and the Alfa Romeo car club will be out in force, no doubt bringing a host of restored classic with them,” says Brad.

“The car club could bring anything! It’s going to be a really fun event and really sums up the unique nature of Alfa Romeo – it’s not a car, it’s an Alfa Romeo!”

Brad’s going to be there too, no doubt fielding questions about the new 4C Spider. He might even be taking orders!

scoreboardCHELSEA MORDIALLOC MENTONE NEWS

PROVINCIALBy IT GullyMt Eliza’s season went from bad to worse on Saturday, being bowled out for 121 against Long Island. Lan-guishing just above Rye at the bottom of the ladder, the Mounties’ top order were brittle as the team slumped to 6/35. Nick Baron (26), Matt Travena (26) and Jordan Fuhrmann (22) were the only batsmen to break 20, while skipper Justin Grant again failed with the bat, making just 12 runs.

Long Island’s opening bowlers

Scott Phillips and Andrew Tweddle were superb as usual. ‘Flippa’ bowled 21 overs and finished with sensational figures of 4/26, including 11 maidens. Tweddle was equally as impressive, claiming 4/44 from 21 overs. Long Island faced the last seven overs of the day and were 0/16 at stumps.

The Peninsula Old Boys have already picked up the win against Pines. The Piners batted first on Sat-urday at the Peninsula School and were bowled out for just 87. Jarred Coad top scored for Pines with 32.

Adam Gailitis and Zac Fillipone were firmly in control with the ball for the Old Boys, with three and six wickets respectively. In reply, POB went for quick runs and batted for 34 overs, netting 7/104 before declaring and sending Pines back in. They’ll re-sume at 2/52.

Crib Point is in a commanding position in its match against Lang-warrin. The Magpies batted first and were in some early trouble, be-fore Luke Herrington (49) and Matt Blake (80) took control. Henry Dol-

phin also contributed 33. Daniel Bray returned to the First XI for the Kangas and snared 4/56, while skip-per Travis Campbell got some early breakthroughs and picked up 4/62. In reply, Langwarrin is 1/4 with opener Simon McEvoy back in the sheds.

Baxter has set Sorrento a sizable task in their clash of titans. Daniel Warwick was back in the First IX and helped himself to 65, while Ben Metters scored 48 and Dale Irving 47. Chris King was the pick of the Sor-rento bowlers, with 5/79. Sorrento

now sits at 1/14.Moorooduc has already beaten

Rye. The Demons again failed to get to 100, such is their lack of confi-dence right now. Adam Bayly picked up 5/6 off 12 overs for the Ducs, in-cluding a devastating spell of 4/0. In reply, Mooroduc faced the final 36 overs of the day and finished on 4/98. Ben Williams opened the batting with 52.

Mornington has left Somerville with some work to do after making 242.

Mounties in more strife

DISTRICTBy IT GullyCARRUM is in a world of pain as it enters the second day of its match against Flinders. After bowling out Flinders for 227, Carrum slumped, scoring an ordinary 4/29 after facing the final 14 overs of the day. Boom recruit and skipper Andy Johnson again failed with the bat, caught by Simon Parrott off the bowling of Matt Burns for a blob. Johnson has just 54 runs in four hits for the season.

Fellow recruit Jake D’Atri was also removed without trou-bling the scorers – his side was reeling when Shaun Foster – as usual – came to the rescue, hitting 18 runs to stop the carnage. Dwayne Field finished the day for the Sharks, bowl-ing an impressive 2/0. Burns finished with 2/9.

Earlier in the day, the bottom order did the job for Flinders after they too found strife early at 5/47. Shane Beggs hit 49, Blake Hogan-Keogh 36 and Max Royal 47 to bring the home side 227 runs in 65.3 overs. Timmy Clements also scored a respectable 32. Liam Dobson was the best of the Carrum bowlers, with 4/51.

Mt Martha, despite scoring just 142 against Pearcedale, has a reasonable prospect of victory at the close of day one. The Reds batted first and made 142, with Jake Smart produc-ing what we have come to expect with 71.

The talented Sam Frawley stepped up to the plate for the Panthers and picked up 5/23, while ‘Mr Consistent’ Shayne Gillings claimed 2/24. The Reds needed to produce some-thing special with the ball, and they did. Curtis Stone claimed 2/6 from eight overs to have Pearcedale 4/39. Chris Dew and Gillings are the not-out batsmen, while Shane Maggs is not playing in this game.

Boneo has set Main Ridge a massive target of 294 for vic-tory after making their highest score (8/293) for some time.

The Baden Powell juggernaut continues after the home side belted 7/314 against Delacombe Park. The Braves are sky high on confidence right now, and Tom Wood has been a sensation. He was right amongst the runs again on Saturday, scoring a clean century. It was his first three-figure perfor-mance for the year, having hit 78, 84, 7 and 79. Wood has 432 runs for the season, including 55 in the Jack Peacock Cup. Fellow opener Nathan Cassano was cruising to three figures too before being run out on 69. Rhys Elmi joined the action with 61, while Elias Carter was out in force with 45.

Red Hill is cruising to victory against the Seaford Tigers, who were rolled for 130. Glenn Collett headlined the Hill-men attack with 3/30, while Lincoln Toy claimed 3/30 to give him 13 wickets for the season. Mattty Meagher top-scored for the Tigers with 40 runs. In reply, the Hillmen are 0/59 from 22 overs.

Heatherhill has set Seaford a target of 176 for victory. The Hills batted first with Kristian Miller at it again, scoring 54. Christian Heath supported him well with 48, but Faisal Pay-enda was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 4/45. Seaford is now 1/6.

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GullyTOOTGAROOK’S Matthew Whelan can do any-thing on a cricket field. He’s extremely talented and his best is as good as we’ve seen. On Saturday against Skye, Whelan strode to the crease with his side in a spot of bother at 2/37, but left the ground with the team score at 301. Whelan had 174 next to his name. Together with Travis French, who scored 80, Whelan dominated the Skye attack and set the side up for a solid victory after completing 80 overs on 9/327. Pat Clinch picked up three wickets for Skye.

Frankston YCW made tough work of batting their 80 overs against Dromana, scoring just over two runs an over to finish at 7/169. Jack Greenwood opened with 37 and Levi McLoughlin-Dore made 58 batting seventh to help the home side see out their overs. Aaron Kaddatz was the best of the Dromana bowlers with 2/17 from 13 overs.

Hastings is less than 50 runs short of victory, with eight wickets in hand after dominating day one of their match against Balnarring at Thomas Barclay Reserve. Balnarring were bowled out for just 93, Tim Birch dominating with the ball for the Blues, claiming 4/16 from 20 overs and Luke Hewitt 3/26 from 18 overs. Isuru Dias chimed in at the end with 2/3 from 5.2 overs. In reply, Hastings lost their open-ers with a mere 12 runs, before talking control and finishing on 2/52.

A 100-plus partnership between Pete Doughty and Matt Maher has Rosebud in a strong position against Ballam Park. The Knights will chase 243 for victory after Rosebud made 6/242, coming back from 6/137.
