NODDY GETS THE NOD
FREE! ISSUE 39, February 10th, 2015 Rosebud and Surrounds Supporting our local Community! NODDY GETS THE NOD The 4th annual Peninsula Short Film Fest. 2015 was a huge success on Saturday at The Village Green in Rosebud. Over 3,000 people were treated to a fantastic film feast, with 12 finalists from over 100 world class submissions. In the words of Fred Schepisi, festival patron, "Foresight on the Foreshore, who'd have thought it. Well Steve Bastoni did and we are all the luckier for it. What an opportunity to sit in the open air, with open minds and be dazzled and delighted by the unbridled inventiveness of future movie makers. What fun too! Watching burgeoning filmmakers at their freest, delivering us experiences straight from the soul, unfettered by the stifling cookie cutter formulas that so beset much of today's main stream movie making. Short films are the starting ground, it's where they can experiment, push the boundaries, hone their creativity and originality and then hopefully go on to make the kind of movies that reawaken our love of cinema".

Page 2 NODDY GETS THE NOD Steve Bastoni, festival director, said " From humble beginnings at the old Broadway Theatre in 2011, when 450 locals packed into a makeshift theatre with a blow-up screen, the festival has come a long way. It is hard to believe that we have grown so much in such a short time." Meg Pascoe the Festival Producer has worked tirelessly to make this a success and congratulations to Meg on the recent arrival of her daughter (one week old!) Local resident and well known actress and TV presenter, Tania Zaetta, inspired us in her role as MC for the evening. Guest judge Michala Banas said she was full of admiration for the people who could 'get out there and have a crack'. "I love this festival", she said, "and I seriously want to live in a caravan on the foreshore of Rosebud.... would they let me?" Yes Michala, we would welcome you with open arms! Nadine Garner said, "the passion of the short film makers was wonderful to see." Nadine was joined by lovely radio personality and actress Jane Hall. Samuel Johnson was once again judging with Lachy Hulme, both inaugural judges in 2011. Samuel said how much he thought the quality of film making had improved. "What's important to me is a hook at the end of a film, a powerful ending." Lachy said, "This is the only thing I put in my calendar, apart from my annual trip to the gym." We were also treated to the presence of Andrew Mason, unquestionably the most prolific producer in the country, who kindly did a Q + A with producer David Redman. Steve Bastoni directed a short film called 'The Decision'. In conjunction with Mornington Peninsula Shire, this film explored the difficulties faced by teens on the Peninsula with binge drinking and the challenges inherent in peer pressure. It sought to encourage good decision making in our valuable youth. Two local live acts warmed up the crowd. Hunter Reyne and the delightful Heidi Louise Luckhurst with her soulful vocals.

Mornington local Roy Francis has been presented with a Letter of Acknowledgement under seal from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council in recognition of his valued contribution to the Mornington Peninsula community. Since retiring in 2006 Mr Francis has devoted his time to helping others, acting as an ambassador for the Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia, National Stroke Foundation, Beyond Blue and Cancer Council Victoria. Mr Francis’ voluntary efforts earned him national recognition in 2013 when he was awarded with a National Volunteers Award. More recently he was invited to the US by International Prostate Cancer Support organization ‘Us TOO’, where he was named as the first Australian recipient of the ‘Edward C. Kaps Award for “unselfish and dedicated service to prostate cancer survivors and their families”. “It brings me great pride knowing that we have such generous and altruistic individuals living in, and contributing to, our community,” said Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Bev Colomb. “Roy is an exemplary member of the Mornington Peninsula community and has selflessly dedicated his life to improving the lives of those around him. It is an honour to have people of Roy’s calibre in our community, and the Council is pleased on behalf of the community to recognise and appreciate his efforts,” she said.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme also known as’ NDIS’, is a change to the way people with a disability in Australia have access to necessary supports to pursue their goals, aspirations and participate in daily life. In terms of size and complexity, the introduction of the NDIS is being compared to the introduction of Medicare (initially Medibank) in the 1970’s.These reforms are taking place across the nation, and serve to ensure that people with a disability, regardless of where they live, rural, regional or in a large city, have the same access and opportunities. For families and individuals seeking information about the NDIS, it can be difficult to find reliable, accurate and up-todate information. The NDIS is regularly mentioned in mainstream and social media, but separating opinion from fact can be difficult. The best place to start finding more information is the National Disability Insurance Scheme website www.ndis.gov.au. This website will give you information about the scheme itself, how it works, who is eligible and which areas the scheme is currently operating. It also provides a range of personal stories highlighting the benefits of the NDIS. Another helpful website is www.nds.org.au. This is the website for National Disability Services (NDS). National Disability Services is Australia's peak body for non-government disability service organisations. NDS's purpose is to promote quality services and life opportunities for Australians with disability. They do this by influencing governments at all levels and providing members with information and advice, networking opportunities and business support. Lastly, www.everyaustraliancounts. com.au is the website for the Every Australian Counts Campaign NDS has run on behalf of the broader disability sector. This campaign aims to make sure the NDIS is delivery as promised, and is the best it can be. Article and photograph provided by Jade Presenza, Anglicare Victoria.

Page 6 ISSUE 39, February 10th, 2015 People in Profile - Juanita Aitken By Linda Erskine This week we meet and chat with the passionate Juanita Aitken - long term Rosebud resident and currently one of nine volunteer directors of the Seawinds Community Hub, Rosebud West. Juanita and I have agreed to meet at the Seawinds Community Hub kitchen area for a casual chat that will provide me with an opportunity to develop some insight into this woman who has been described as a bundle of energy, a dedicated community spokesperson and an ardent member of a team that has been successful in delivering a Community Hub, and its associated programs, to the residents in and around Rosebud West. I already had a brief glimpse of that energy as we had spoken the week prior by phone. Firstly, by the myriad of topics our conversation touched upon; from stories relating to her teenage antics with her friend in Bendigo in her first foray into developing a voice on important community issues, to lively stories and laughter about her family, her life living in various locations across Victoria with her husband Ian, and how they ended up moving to Rosebud West in 1977. Secondly, by the fact that her diary was so heavily booked, making it difficult to find a suitable time to meet amongst her other engagements. I looked forward to what I sensed would be a meeting with a mini whirlwind. When we did get the opportunity to meet the following week, and with Juanita’s work colleagues strolling in and busying themselves with coffee or snacks around us, I couldn’t help but be in awe of her ability to seemingly hold concurrent conversations and not lose track of her train of thought. A whirlwind indeed. Very quickly I then meet the Juanita that is the passionate advocate for community needs in general, and of those needs for the Rosebud West community in particular. She explains that after their retirement in the early 1990’s, that both Juanita and Ian wanted to involve themselves in community projects. Both came from community based backgrounds, Juanita as a nurse and Ian as a primary teacher. Through their many relocations across country Victoria they saw first hand not only the wealth and prosperity of some of these communities, but also the flip side that was negatively impacting many disadvantaged families: education, finance and support in times of crisis. Juanita explains, “Many patients in the medical centres were unable to fill in forms without assistance. I saw first hand the results of family violence. A boy with cigarette burns to his body, another who I thought was suffering from severe sunburn on his neck only to find that when I lifted his shirt his back was covered with lash marks. At one stage a young boy was brought in with a badly cut hand. I asked him to open his hand so I could see. The wound had been stitched together by his mother with thick wool. I was horrified. I remember so clearly it was green. Thick green wool that was holding the sides of this wound together.” Juanita continues to recount the story about how the boy said it was okay because his Mum used ice before stitching. Ian also had many experiences of young children not being prepared to commence school and the disastrous outcomes that may ensue without intervention and support. It was a combination of these experiences and stories that ignited the passion to assist and contribute to their local community when an opportunity arose. That opportunity came when they attended a local meeting in Rosebud West and there was a discussion about community renewal. Ian spoke for them both when he said, “If it is anything to do with Rosebud West we are in boots and all!” Juanita emphasizes throughout the interview that they were only a very small part of a huge number of people who were united in a vision of building a stronger community by providing facilities and resources to those in need. Through the tireless efforts of a number of individuals, funding was granted at both Federal, local and State levels specifically for Rosebud West. What followed was the development of an enormous and complex project plan that was to involve many, many people representing varying positions within the community over a number of years. Continued page 9 Page 7 SEAWINDS KNITTING NATTERS “The Knitting Natters” at Seawinds have joined many crafts groups to add to the project to make poppies for the 2015 Anzac Celebrations. After reading the following exert the Knitting Natters have been knitting and crocheting poppies to add to the collection. A special Big thank you to Edith, Pat 1, Pat 2 and Dot for their beautiful poppies, knitted and crocheted with love. The following information is provided on the website for the 5000 poppies project: “From its association with poppies flowering in the spring of 1915 on the battlefields of Belgium, France and Gallipoli, the poppy has become a symbol of both great loss in war and hope for those left behind. As part of the 2015 Anzac commemorations, the 5000 Poppies project group will be ‘planting’ a field of more than 5,000 poppies in Federation Square, Melbourne, as a ISSUE 39, February 10th, 2015 stunning visual tribute to Australian service men and women for more than a century of service in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.” As of November the total number of poppies has grown to over 60,000 and the number is still growing. Poppies will be displayed as part of Phillip Johnson’s Anzac Tribute Garden at the Melbourne Flower Show in April. The group is busy attaching stems to the poppies. Money is still needed to fund the displays, you can help by donating to the cause at http://www.pozible.com/ Term one is now underway at Seawinds Community Hub. We have lots of classes and groups underway and courses starting mid to late February. Pop down to the Hub to pick up a program or email promotions@seawindscommunityhub.com and request a program by email. Page 8 ISSUE 39, February 10th, 2015 People in Profile - Juanita Aitken By Linda Erskine ...continued from page 7 A 2007 report identified key areas for consideration in developing a solution. These included: health and wellbeing, the environment, training and education and a community hub. Juanita explains that everyone involved was indeed committed to the vision of providing support to those individuals and families who needed it, but laughs at the memory at some of the challenges of those early meetings as she describes that sometimes it felt like “We were trying to design a camel or a platypus even.” Her laugh is hearty and good natured, and I can imagine that indeed in the early stages of such a huge project there would be unique, and at times conflicting, issues in the development of a solution. Everyone had strong opinions about how that solution could be realised. Juanita reveals that her husband Ian would remind her prior to these meetings “Listen attentively to other opinions and make sure you don’t open your mouth until your mind is in gear!” Juanita heeded his advice. She feels that she dealt with the issues that were important to her in a quiet but persistent manner. “I felt very strongly that there was no point building this beautiful building if it was not going to work for the community.” It seems that if this vision was to come to fruition it would be through the blood, sweat and tears of each and every individual involved. Fast forward several years and the Seawinds Community Hub has been completed and open to the community for the past three years. It offers a range of services and acts as a central meeting point for people of all ages. From childcare and kindergarten groups through to adult certificate and creative courses, the hub not only provides these specific services, but can direct and connect individuals and families to more specific areas of assistance when required. It is a place that offers support and invites the community to participate. Juanita explains that a continuing goal is one of delivering support and services “...from the cradle to the grave and to provide inspiration to the community.” Nearing the end of our meeting Juanita mentions that her star sign is Taurus. I immediately respond with the only characteristic I am familiar with for that star sign, “Stubborn,” I say. She again laughs heartily and agrees. I later Google search Taurean characteristics and also come up with additional descriptors such as persistent and reliable; displays enduring stamina and patience; hard working and determined. All these labels seem to fit the Juanita I have just met. Juanita’s husband Ian passed away several years ago, but Juanita holds on tightly and proudly to the vision they not only shared with each other, but one that was shared with a large number of individuals in the area. Juanita constantly reminds me that her efforts were only a very small part in a project that involved a large number of dedicated, passionate community members over an extended period of time. It is this modesty and her wholehearted commitment to the ongoing success of the Seawinds Community Hub that leaves me with the sense that it is indeed the Rosebud West community that is extremely fortunate to have Juanita Aitken working on their team.

If you know someone in our local community who you think would be an interesting subject for Linda’s People in Profile series, please let us know. rosebudripple@hotmail.com CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY – SUNDAY 1 MARCH Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor Bev Colomb is encouraging the community to celebrate 25 years of volunteer clean up action across Australia and take part in this year’s Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday March 1.

The Statement of Commitment for the Prevention of Family Violence was endorsed by Council at its meeting on the 24th of November. Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Bev Colomb said the Council’s statement reaffirms its broader commitment to the prevention of family violence in the Mornington Peninsula and builds on existing work in support of the Shire’s Health and Wellbeing Plan 2013-2017 to raise awareness. “Local government has an important role to play in fostering safe and healthy communities,” said Cr Colomb. “The Shire is committed to promoting a culture of community harmony, wellbeing and a sense of safety and belonging. The Shire is well positioned to take a leadership role on this important community issue, and will continue to collaborate with key stakeholders including the Peninsula Model, the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Family Violence Network, Victoria Police, advocates and our community to progress work in the area of family violence prevention and to foster an environment where we can all make a difference,” she said. Cr Colomb said the Statement of Commitment to the Prevention of Family Violence outlines that the Shire will enable and promote; The Mornington Peninsula Shire community as a safe place and act to eliminate violence in all its forms; Relationships between all members of the community are respectful and promote the rights of men, women and children to live free from violence; That women, men and children have the opportunity to participate equally in all spheres of public and private life without fear or discrimination. Increase awareness of family violence as a key social and health issue The implementation plan will provide a framework for the Shire to work in partnership with relevant support agencies to assist in the prevention of family violence.

It sounds easy. Most of our lives revolve around routine. The great value of these habits is that it frees up our minds, after all we don’t have to think too much about how to brush out teeth! Our mind is free to do other things. Unfortunately this freedom is not well used. We find that our minds gravitate either to the past or future, to judging, arguing, worrying or just “zoning out”. It amuses and absorbs us by telling us countless stories, mostly unwholesome ones with no basis on reality. The mind tends to avoid the present as much as possible, in fact you probably spend very little time there at all! So contrary to our belief, we are NOT ordinarily in charge of our minds! For a start we can’t turn them off. We can’t always make them do what we want. Thoughts and emotions seem to arise unbidden and unwelcome, our minds seem to be in control of us. This comes at a high price. This is Mindlessness! We suffer all kinds of unhappiness, worry, anger, anxiety, depression and a whole range of physical illnesses brought on by these negative states our mind takes us to. Mindfulness is simply moment by moment awareness. We become observers of our thoughts and emotions allowing us to gradually transform our ISSUE 39, February 10th, 2015 By Annie Perkins minds and therefore bring positive changes to our lives. We are no longer hijacked by our thoughts and emotions. We move into a state of awareness, both of ourselves and the world around us. We are able to respond, not just react, to situations. Because we are aware of how our mind works, we become less anxious because we have strategies to change the way we think and act. We have more choices about how we can respond to everyday events. There is nothing “religious, psychic or spiritual” about mindfulness. It is used in mainstream medicine by many practitioners. It is recognized as a tool for many illnesses from pain relief to mental illness. It is used in sports training, education, and in the business sector. It is a tool for life which if practiced regularly can allow us live with equanimity, and lead a happier and more joyful life.

Like many of Dromana's pioneers, George and Susan Peatey got a start in the area by leasing land on Jamieson's Special Survey, the area now called Safety Beach, and east to the line of Bulldog Creek Rd. After chasing work in Gippsland and Melbourne, the 7 foot 1 inch tall George had settled on the survey by 1858 and worked on Arthurs Seat supplying timber, used for piers and railway sleepers, to George McLear. Susan was kept busy as a midwife and on 8-91867,delivered Rosebud's first white baby, Rose Ann, the daughter of Henry Bucher and Ann (nee White.) George and Susan received grants of land (Melway 161 A7) but it was too wet for farming (growing crops.) With the help of a loan from Dromana's Nelson Rudduck, they bought a 2 acre block on the south corner of Jetty Rd and McDowell St, but did not move onto it until the loan was repaid and title was obtained on 9-2-1888. Probably being the first Story and photographs provided by Ray Gibb family to live in McDowell St or on any subdivision block,George and Susan grew potatoes and onions on their small farm. The house burnt down in 1912, eight years after George's death so Susan moved in at Beachside on the foreshore just east of Peatey's Creek (Murray Anderson Rd car park.) PINE TREES AND BOX THORNS by Rosalind Peatey. Rosalind continues: John Henry Peatey had been born in a tent in Melbourne in 1857, probably in Canvas Town at Emerald Hill (South Melbourne.) Jack married Mary Ann on 4-11-1884 and they soon after moved to Gippsland where their children were born in 1886,1888,1890 and 1892. In 1894 Jack and Mary moved back to Rosebud not long before twins Mary and Anne were born in the same year. Jack was almost an invalid and Fred Vine carved him a walking stick. With what little help Jack could give, Mary Ann began Rosebud's first produce CREATIVE ARTS WORKSHOPS KNOWING THROUGH THE ARTS This is a four-week workshop course for women seeking to learn more about themselves. We will be using the arts (drawing, writing, collage, movement and role play) as exploratory means into the wants and needs of women.

Rutherford studied at Canterbury College, University of New Zealand before moving to England in 1895 for post graduate study at Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Rutherford worked on radioactivity, coining the terms ‘alpha’ and ‘beta’ to describe the two different types of radiation emitted by uranium and thorium. He also observed that radioactive material took the same amount of time for half of it to decay, known as its “half life”. In 1907, Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden carried out the Geiger-Marsden experiment, an attempt to examine the structure of the atom. The surprising results of this experiment demonstrated the existence of the atomic nucleus and became an integral part of the Rutherford model of the atom. The Rutherford model of the atom was simplified in a well known symbol showing electrons circling around the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. This symbol became popular and has been used by various organizations around the world as a symbol for atoms and atomic energy in general. es t o u Q “Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” ...Francis of Assisi Rosebud’s Fame and Shame If you have anything you’d like to FAME or SHAME let us know!

For instance, my eldest daughter won’t feed her new rabbit kale unless she’s googled it off 3 separate sites first to make sure it’s safe. NOW…………. imagine that everybody was as fussy with what they fed their family as what they fed their pets. When was the last time you bought your dog or cat takeaway? Would you even dream of feeding your pet ice-cream and ISSUE 39, February 10th, 2015 & Wellbeing- FOOD FOR THOUGHT lollies? Would you put soft drink in their water bowl???? If I were to compile a factsheet on what to feed your ‘pet human’ here’s a few of the pointers I would include: Humans should have plenty of fresh drinking water available at all times. Offer treats in small amounts if you wish, but remember that treats are just for special occasions. Sugar can be damaging to a human’s immune system, may cause weight gain, and can lead to erratic behaviour. Artificial colours, additives and sweeteners are not designed for human consumption. They may cause multiple problems, particularly in young humans. Natural foods are best. Humans should consume lots of plant based foods. It helps keep their digestive system healthy and provides nutrients to nourish them. Humans should not eat processed foods - they can be addictive and may lead to overeating, weight gain and numerous health problems. There are many more I’d like to add, but these are just some of the basics. Forget the nuances of individual dietary requirements - as a general rule if we followed these guidelines, and treated our own bodies as respectfully as we treated our animals, we’d probably be a lot better off!

The time is long overdue to bring the 3 R’s back into fashion again. Respect, Responsibility and Rights in that precise order. For too long now we have been focussing on the last ‘R’ without a mention of the other two. What has this caused our society? Misery, pain and a society where the people Bowls In Round 10 of Pennant Rye stumbled again going down to Mt Martha 95 to 81 which leaves Dromana clearly on top after they thrashed Rosebud C.C. 118 to 73. ISSUE 39, February 10th, 2015 ...by Buzz who break the law decide what the others are able to do. We can’t walk on the sand without shoes on because of needles, terrorists bring fear and long queues at airports, home invasions force stronger security, hand bag snatchers, muggers and those wielding knives make walking the streets dangerous, we can’t take pictures at our children’s sporting events, cars need immobilisers and I could go on. If people respected themselves, their fellow human beings, property, animals, the environment, etc and took responsibility for their actions and decisions instead of blaming someone or something else then we may be able to reclaim a happy society for everyone to enjoy. Rights are important also but you can only have rights if you don’t impinge on Rosebud 112 had an easy win over Main Ridge 78 and are once again the big threat in Division One. In the other game Balnarring had a good win over West Rosebud. In Round 11 Dromana consolidated their position on top of the ladder with an easy win over Main Ridge 119 to 64. Rosebud, beginning to find some consistency, downed Rye by 2 shots, 81 to 79 while West Rosebud defeated Rosebud C.C. 108 to 79 and Mt Martha went down to Balnarring 78 to 98. Dromana are now clear leaders with Rye and someone else’s rights. With respect and responsibility this would be possible and perhaps make the chase for the almighty dollar through the courts a thing of the past. It’s not too late to change but I’m sure if the 3 R’s are not followed there is only one way we can go. And the view is not pretty! Always be your best. Buzz Rosebud in a tussle for second and third.
