Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A PLAN to build a new Mentone Activity Hub in Venice St has been put on hold amid concerns about its escalating cost. Kingston Council had been set to rebuild the community building at 11a Venice St at a cost of about $1.38 million before the winner of the tender bid pulled out. A revised plan costing the new building at more than $1.51 million was put to councillors at the latest public council meeting last month. Councillors narrowly voted against proceeding with the Mentone Activity Hub construction until the Mentone Reserve master plan is finalised when the proposal could be reconsidered. Two senior citizens groups, Probus Club and the Mentone-Mordialloc Arts Group were to be housed in the new Mentone Activity Hub. The arts group has offered to pay $100,000 towards the construction of the new building. Cr Ron Brownlees said the dropout of the original successful tenderer had “left us with a dilemma”. “We had groups of people planning to depart from the existing building but suddenly they didn’t have a home because it wasn’t going to be ready in time,” he said. He praised the arts group, who plan to sign a nine-year lease to occupy part of the new activity hub, for making a financial contribution to the project. “It’s a fantastic contribution for a community group to offer to be part of the rebuilding of a community facility.”

Cr Rosemary West is concerned “council didn’t consider whether the seniors and the Mentone-Mordialloc Arts Group for whom this new building is designed could have been better accommodated in other buildings on the Mentone reserve”. “I personally doubt whether this is a good use of ratepayers’ money when we already have a perfectly good activity hub in the form of the Brindisi St council building.” Cr Steve Staikos said he also had concerns about council not exploring all options before making a commitment to spend about $1.5 million on a new building. Cr Tamsin Bearsley said an arts group is not easy to accommodate due to the need to store artworks in progress and painting materials. Cr Tamsin Bearsley said an arts group is difficult to accommodate due to the need to store artworks in progress and painting materials. “They do life drawings so you need to be sensitive about who is walking in and out of the building,” she said. The Old Granary Lane building in Mentone where the arts group holds its classes and exhibitions is due to be demolished. Crs Bearsley, Brownlees and mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill voted to proceed with the $1.5 million refurbishment but crs Tamara Barth, David Eden, Staikos and West opposed the move. Cr Paul Peulich had left the council chambers during the debate and Cr John Ronke was absent from the meeting.

FRESH start for epilepsy help Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A SUPPORT group for epilepsy sufferers in the south east region has been established in Frankston. Seaford resident Sue Summer’s daughter Rebekah has lived with epilepsy for 23 years and the duo decided to set up a forum, with the help of The Epilepsy Foundation, for those affected by epilepsy and their carers (‘Building foundation for epilepsy help’, The News 29/10/14). An information session held at Patterson Lakes Community House in October was attended by “about 60 people”, according to Ms Summers. As a result of the information session “about 25 people” registered to go to monthly FRESH - Frankston Region Epilepsy Support Group meetings - support meetings at St Francis Xavier Parish church in Frankston. “The church has allowed us free access to their hall which is lovely,” Ms Summers said. April’s meeting will be held at the new Clair De Lune restaurant at 20 Beach St, Frankston because the church was pre-booked that month. Its owner David Mooney has agreed to open up the French restaurant specifically for the group’s April meeting. Before the Frankston epilepsy support group was established Sue and Rebekah travelled to Melbourne to attend The Epilepsy Foundation meetings. This journey could be stressful. Monthly meetings in Frankston have been held since November and

Car free day KINGSTON families are being urged to swap steering wheels for bike wheels for National Ride2School Day. Mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill encouraged all local families to leave the car at home this Friday (13 March) to help children get a healthier start to the day on National Ride2School Day. “Students, parents and teachers are encouraged to ride, walk, skate or scoot to school to help promote a more active, healthy lifestyle.” “It is important that children get a good start to the day. Cycling, walking, skating or scooting helps children to feel fresh and more alert at the start of the school day,” Cr Gledhill said. “I can understand that the morning routine can be quite a rush for many families, but by leaving just a few minutes earlier many children could be walking or riding to school instead of hopping in the car.” “While the weather is still good, now is the perfect time to get more active, help our young people learn about road safety and cut down on traffic congestion around our schools.” Schools can register at bicyclenetwork.com.au

Sue invites anyone in the south east with experience of epilepsy to attend as often as they like. “People have been bursting with things to talk about. They really want to connect with one another,” Ms Summers said. “Maybe people who are diagnosed with this may often feel they have nowhere to go, particularly as the

peninsula is a long way from The Epilepsy Foundation and its services. “This group and their stories may highlight the need for more resources in this area, fill in some of the gaps for those that may feel left by the wayside and be a stepping stone for that process.” n The next meeting of the epilepsy support group will be held at Clair

Future monthly meetings will be hosted at St Francis Xavier Parish, 60 Davey St, Frankston on the second Saturday of each month, 1-3pm.

Danger flagged as boats, swimmers in mix Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council has taken up a fight to reinstate a no-boating zone off Aspendale beach on behalf of residents. Parks Victoria moved a no-boating area from in front of the Gnotuk Avenue carpark section of the beach two years ago. A no-boating zone sign was removed from the carpark and the zone was moved 200 metres north. Councillors unanimously agreed to write to Parks Victoria to request the no-boating zone be reinstated to its original location. Cr Tamsin Bearsley said Aspendale residents fear a serious accident

could occur in waters shared by vessels and swimmers and want the noboating zone moved back to its original location. “The beach in front of our Gnotuk Avenue carpark is one of our busiest in Kingston and the result of the post being moved is that jet skis, boats, swimmers and children playing in the water are now all sharing the same 200 metre strip of water. It is a safety issue.” Cr Rosemary West said “the location of boating posts has been a big issue for the association of Bayside municipalities and there are a number of problems like this [at Aspendale beach].” Cr West noted the beach in front of Carrum Sailing Club had been des-

ignated a “no-boats zone” making it impossible to launch boats there but this had been changed. “These things need compromise. It seems to me that Parks Victoria should have a process where when these problems emerge they can be dealt with when a community is clear about what it wants.” A “Parking Victoria person” had met with Kingston Council when the boating and no-boating zones came in to hear concerns but then “did nothing”, according to Cr West. Cr Bearsley said “it’s not council’s responsibility, it is Parks Victoria” but council is “here to advocate for our residents and this is a way we can do that.” Parks Victoria local ports and wa-

terways senior manager Victor Teoh said “the Aspendale swimming only zone was shifted 140 meters north to line up with Gnotuk Avenue”. “This change provides a more centred alignment of the swimming only zone with the life saving club and also aligns the southern boundary with Gnotuk Avenue making locating the boundary easier to identify from a distance.” Mr Teoh said Parks Victoria is ensuring all boating zones across Port Phillip and Western Port are safe, easy to identify and also easy to comply with. Danger zone? Parks Victoria changed an area offshore at Aspendale beach from a no-boats zone two years ago. Picture: Gary Sissons

PARKDALE Preschool pupils got some pointers about healthy eating this week from an unlikely but loveable source: two adorable puppets called Ben and Molly. The Ben and Molly Healthy Eating Puppet Show organised by Central Bayside Community Health Services visited the school last Thursday and Friday to entertain 70 preschoolers and spark classroom discussion about healthy eating. Preschool director Megan Miller said the interactive presentation was based around a shopping scenario where the children helped the puppets unpack and sort their groceries into groups of food that should be eaten the most, moderately or in small amounts. “The puppets used the Healthy Living Pyramid to en-

Retirement call for Gail FOR almost three decades Gail Ricato has been community minded. It’s been the main focus of her job as centre manager at Patterson Lakes Community Centre. Ms Ricato decided last month to retire from a role she enjoyed for 27 years at the community centre. As centre manager she looked after all aspects of the administration, programs, activities and customer service. “The community is vastly different now. When I first went there it almost had a village atmosphere with lots of open land and wildlife. It’s developed quite incredibly now.” Making friends with people was the best part of the job as community manager, Ms Ricato said. “There was great satisfaction to build the centre’s activities up to what people want and need.” She said “we were lucky to have a couple hundred people” use the community centre three decades ago but on average about 1400 people per week “go through the building”. Patterson Lakes Community Centre is run by a volunteer committee of management. Ms Ricato said “a lovely new centre manager” Marisa Nowak is now overseeing day-to-day operations. Ms Ricato, who lives in Springvale North, said she hoped to spend more time with family and friends in retirement. “I’d like to do a bit of travel which I’ve done in the past.” Neil Walker Good innings: Gail Ricato has enjoyed every one of the 27 years she worked as centre manager at Patterson Lakes Community Centre.

Police patrol While they were sleeping… INTRUDERS broke into a Patterson Lakes house and entered bedrooms where a woman and her three children were sleeping late last Sunday evening. The woman awoke when she heard cupboards and draws being opened in the kitchen. She called a neighbour and then police and she and the children hid in bedrooms. Unknown offenders ran off after stealing cash, credit card, jewellery and an iPod all valued at $600 as well as the keys to her husband’s car. A watch and sunglasses were found in the front yard. Police and the dog squad attended and found a bracelet that did not belong to the victim. It is believed the intruders entered via an unlocked timber gate and front door which was unlocked. Police said three dogs outside were let inside by the intruder but did not make any noise.

Tools stolen A MAN who parked his car at Chelsea public course was robbed of power tools valued at $1360 overnight on Friday. The car may have been unlocked. Thieves also rummaged through the glove box and seat pockets. The victim said he had heard his two dogs barking in the early hours of Saturday but had taken no notice.

Tradie robbed TOOLS to the value of $15,000 were stolen from the rear of a ute in Carrum last Wednesday afternoon. Police said the tools, taken from an unlocked box, have no identity marks or engravings.

Yacht club thefts THIEVES broke into the Chelsea Yacht Club in the early hours of Wednesday last week and used a trophy to smash an internal window leading to the main bar.

In church A CARRUM woman attending church had her car broken into last Wednesday. Thieves stole $500 and two credit cards from a handbag in her car’s boot. They had forced the driver’s side window and then broke the lock on the boot. The woman did not realise she had been robbed until she got home.

Diggers’ ashes protected WAR veterans’ ashes and memorial plaques will be protected after the state government passed laws against their removal. The Labor government rubberstamped a bill lodged by the previous Coalition government to protect the ashes of war veterans in an act of bipartisanship. Ashes could previously be scattered if family members of diggers could not be contacted after 25 years. The RSL and veterans supported the laws change. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said it is important to ensure “our veterans are treated with the dignity they de-

serve” at all times. “These men and women fought for our country and deserve to have their remains kept in perpetuity,” he said. “I am thankful to be able to take back to my RSLs the certainty that has been created for the preservation of veteran’s cremated remains through this bill.” Under the Cemeteries and Crematoria Amendment (Veterans Reform) Bill 2015 introduced to the Victorian Parliament, cemetery trusts will extend the interment tenure of war veterans’ ashes and ensure their remains are held in perpetuity.

Bike theft

cleaner at the centre, was cleaning the lift when two men entered on level one. One struck up a short conversation with the woman while the second grabbed her by her hand. The victim tried to pull her hand away but was unable to do so. The man then touched the woman inappropriately and kissed her hand. Both men, described as in their late 60s, got out of the lift at the underground car park. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or see crimestoppersvic.com.au

THIEVES stole a girl’s $120 Repco bike from a Bonbeach house on Monday evening last week. It had been left alongside the house and would have been visible from the street. Moorabbin police say bike thefts are becoming more frequent. They ask owners to use heavy duty locks or chains secured through a bike’s wheels and frame. The chain should be anchored to a steel pole and left in a well-lit area. Owners can book in for identification engraving on 9556 6312.

Green thumbs up for garden patch BONBEACH green thumbs Amy Dowling and Jade Kavanagh have been recognised for their top gardening skills. The volunteer green team was anointed ‘Growers of the Year’ last month at a City of Melbourne ‘Grow It Local’ award as part of the Sustainable Living Festival. More than 1300 backyard gardens registered for the competition and the field was narrowed down to 50 before the Bonbeach Primary School sustainable garden took home the honours last week. “We registered our patch on the [online] map just for a bit of fun,” Ms Kavanagh said. “We thought ‘we’ve got a pretty big veggie garden’ but we didn’t hope for anything from it.” The 50 garden finalists took part in a Growers Feast. Finalists picked produce to be cooked by chef Vanessa Mateus of

the Pope Joan eatery in Brunswick. The Bonbeach mums took aubergines, lettuce, beans, sage, rosemary and eggs along for the feast. The food was served at The Testing Grounds in Melbourne during an event hosted by Gardening Australia’s guest host Costa Georgiadis, star of Costa’s Garden Odyssey on SBS TV. “Amy and I took over the school garden in November 2013 and our children go to the school,” Ms Kavanagh said. “We started with empty veggie beds, Amy and I met in the garden. We decided to do something because there was nothing growing there so we planted out some vegetables and the kids got excited watching things grow. “It’s huge now.” Neil Walker

Political intrigue, missteps inspire satire ARTISTS Fran Henke and Tony Sowersby have had plenty of grist for their painting mills for this year’s Bald Archy Prize, the satirical portraiture contest that spoofs the Archibald Prize. It’s been a year of political intrigue and missteps to inspire the artists. Mrs Henke, a long-time Hastings resident, has entered Catgirl, also known as Minister for Foreign Affairs and deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop; Chairway to Heaven, her tribute to disability activist Stella Young; and When Charlie Met Ahmed, a collage tribute following the terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a late entry “which I donated to the Bald Archy Prize for its future and for which a significant bid has already been received”, she said. Her artist’s statements are: “Catgirl – Foreign Minister Julie Bishop clawed her way into Cabinet; performed in Parliament with feline ferocity; and has purred her way around world cat-astrophies – with class. “Chairway to Heaven – ‘I’ve been an atheist ... ever since I first heard that there was only a stairway to heaven,’ said Stella Young, journalist, disability advocate and comedian. Born with osteogenesis imperfecta, Stella used a wheelchair for most of her life, which ended too soon on 6 December 2014, aged 32. Noted also for her red polka dot shoes, Stella and her shoes winged their way up nevertheless. “When Charlie met Ahmed – the atrocities in Paris in January struck at the heart of the right to cartoon and caricature, bringing a small print run magazine to world prominence. The people came together en masse. In this

work, their face is represented by the Statue of Liberty, which was born in Paris. “Australia has a proud ‘black and white’ history from first publications on settlement through to Oz magazine and onwards. Not without challenge as Oz publishers were dragged through the courts for obscenity. Archibald prizewinner William Dobell also endured court action for his portrait of Joshua Smith, criticised by people as a caricature. Australia has also suffered at the hands of extremists – remember Martin Place. Lest We Forget.” Seaford artist Sowersby has entered Andrew Bolt has egg on his face as well as Jovial Joe.

“This is what right-wing commentator Andrew Bolt said during September 2013: ‘Abbott, whom I rate highly as an honest and moral man ... tells me Labor’s fall has underlined how critical it is for politicians to honour promises. He’s repeatedly vowed to make no promises he cannot keep ... Yes, Abbott is set to do better than anyone would once have thought. Including him ... I also trust his good heart. He will in time probably prove more popular than he’s recently become ... Bring on the return of integrity in politics ... Because – pssst – here’s the tip. Tony Abbott is actually a very nice and quite sensitive man ...’” Sowersby’s statement for Jovial Joe

reads: “When the grateful Australian nation erects a statue of Hockey, these words will be on the base: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempesttossed to me, And I will teach those leaning bludgers a lesson they’ll never forget! Sowersby has won the People’s

Choice award three times – in 1998, 2004, 2005 and 2014. He won the main prize in 2005 with a caricature of Tony Abbott and George Pell. The Bald Archy Prize was created in 1994 and attracts artists of all standards and styles. It encourages portraits ranging from hilarious to vulgar. The portraits are touring eastern Australia. Winners will be announced in July. More information at baldarchy. com.au Mike Hast

Footy players take ‘heart’ to young FRANKSTON Dolphins players Brad Sykes and Sam Fox are running school holiday programs through in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. Both players are in their fourth season with Frankston’s VFL team and are qualified coaches and say they want to show youngsters how sport and healthy lifestyle choices can improve their quality of life They say team sport has engendered life lessons that helps them with the challenges of everyday life and have started Syked for Sport to help spread the message. Fox said they attributed their personal confidence and success to sport. “Through our Kick Start to a Healthy Heart program we aim to bring about a revolution in the community by fostering a fresh culture of fun, purpose and

inspiration through affordable sports programs that reach as many youngsters as possible,” Fox said. “Online games and social networking have captivated the imagination and energy of our youth, which has its place, however, Kick Start to a Healthy Heart leads to more physical activity, more social interaction and increased emotional wellbeing.” Fox said research shows participation in sport and particularly team sport provides “unique benefits to the youth of our community”. “Benefits include greater confidence and self-belief, improvements in motor skills, rising fitness levels, and healthier eating habits. Active participation in sport is valuable as it develops pro-active interpersonal skills such as teamwork, leadership, sportsmanship, positivity, re-

silience and socialisation.” Kick Start to a Healthy Heart has run an eight-week program at six primary schools and is also developing a leadership program for high school students to educate and coach “budding young leaders”. “We are keen to raise public awareness of our passion and programs - particularly within our local schools - so that more youth of this generation have an opportunity to receive a kick start toward finding their place in this community and to making a difference,” Fox said. The Kick Start to a Healthy Heart sixday school holiday programs for 5-10 year olds are supported by the Frankston Dolphins. Bookings at sykedforsport. com.au

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FORMER UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher infamously proclaimed “there is no such thing as society” in 1987 but it is not an opinion futurist Mark McCrindle would share. The social researcher, author and professional speaker has made a career out of analysing modern society’s trends and actions. He is heading to Mornington this month to share some of his insights as a guest speaker as part of the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Business Breakfast Series. Mr McCrindle established McCrindle Research nine years ago and has made it his business to tell corporate clients and governments about societal shifts on the horizon. The company conducts focus group research and collates and digs through data to make statistics clear to more than 100 corporate and government clients. He regularly appears as a social research commentator in the press and on TV and radio on shows such as Channel Ten’s The Project, ABC News 24 and Channel Seven’s Sunrise. “I was working towards a psychology degree and my goal back then was to become a psychologist but I actually preferred sociology more, looking at society rather than individuals,” he said. “We try to help people understand the trends and changes to come. We all spend so long focused on what we’re doing now or the technical aspects of our industry that we forget to observe the changing external environment and technological shift.” He said his presentation in Mornington is a good chance for businesspeople to find out how changing demographics, including the coming of age of those born from 1982 onwards, commonly referred to as Generation Y, will impact on their companies both as consumers and employees.

“[Companies] can suddenly find they’re good at what they do but they’re no longer relevant to the society we live in.” Planning for change is essential for a business aiming to thrive in a technological advances and the rise of social media, according to Mr McCrindle. McCrindle Research itself has had to adapt to change over the past decade. “When we began as market researchers it was just all about statistics and reports but these days it’s about a ‘summary card’ to communicate to stakeholders and visual presentations and animated visuals … social media and multi-media presentations didn’t exist when we started. “It’s about visualising stats – taking it out of percentages and pie charts – and communicating in a simple and a quick way rather than having to read through a table.” McCrindle Research’s move to incorporate graphics and multi-media in its presentation of statistics gleaned through research has been recognised by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The ABS awarded McCrindle Research a Statistics Excellence Award in 2013 for “excellence in using statistics in the media”. The award came just two years after ABC’s Media Watch show questioned some of McCrindle Research’s survey methods in its earlier years. Mr McCrindle is unfazed by the criticism. “If you develop a career that’s out there, you’re going to have people who have a go. We’re all about conducting quality research.” nMark McCrindle will talk about Trends transforming the business landscape: thriving in times of unprecedented change at Mornington Racecourse on Tuesday 17 March, 7-9am. The FMP Business Breakfast Series is hosted by Frankston Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Frankston Business Network, Monash University and Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism.

Corner of Frankston-Dandenong Road & William Road, Carrum Downs (Mel Ref 100 F2)

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Beware rabbit poisoning in process Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE ‘Argus’ acknowledges last week £6 from six commercial travellers, as a first instalment of £1 weekly each, while the war lasts, to the Belgium Fund. Included in this list of donors of £1 weekly is the name of Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston. *** THE district Rabbit Inspector wishes us to draw attention to the advertisement appearing in this issue warning persons not to interfere with any poisoning operations or other work, carried out by him, or his assistants, on any land. People who so offend are liable to a fine of £20, under section 37 of the Vermin Destruction Act. Interference may mean trespassing on land on which poisoning operations are being carried out, or setting traps, or shooting, or removing poisoned rabbits without the consent of the Inspector, etc. *** IT will be seen by advertisement in another column that the Westernport Progress Association have organized a second trip for this season, round Westernport Bay, by the S.S Genista, on Saturday, March 20th. A special train has been arranged to connect, leaving Flinders street at 8.10 a.m, stopping at all stations, and returning from Stony Point at 6.30 p.m. The boat will call at Cowes on the return voyage, and the Hastings Band will accompany the trip. This excursion is a delightful one and affords an opportunity of seeing the Naval Base and nearly all of the beautiful islands,

and bay of Westernport. The price of the tickets for the sea trip is three shillings and sixpence. The ordinary return fare from Stony Point to San Remo is 10 and the return voyage can only be made on the following day, whereas, on the excursion, the whole can be done on one day. *** WE are pleased to see that a meeting of the subscribers to the Frankston Patriotic Fund has been called for Monday next, at 8 p.m. We understand that there is a substantial sum of money in hand. The meeting will decide as to the disposal of this and will discuss the desirability of making a special appeal for the Belgian Relief Fund. There will be a subsequent meeting of the subscribers to the presentation fund to the members of the expeditionary forces, drawn from Frankston and the district. As all interested, whether previous subscribers or not, are invited to attend, it is hoped that there will be a large muster of the public. *** A MEETING of the committee of the Frankston Sports Club was held in Mechanics’ Institute on Monday evening, the President (Captain Sherlock being in the chair.) The secretary presented the balance sheet duly audited, of the New Year’s Day meeting which showed a profit of £28s 11d. On the motion of Mr Dalman, seconded by Mr McComb, £10 was voted towards the further fencing in of the park, and £23s 11d was voted to the Relief of the Belgian

fund. Captain Sherlock moved that an honorarium of five guineas be given to the secretary for the manner in which he had carried out the work in connection with the late sports. Seconded by Dr Plowman and carried, a unanimous vote of thanks was passed to the ladies who gratuitously ran the refreshment stall on sports day, resulting in the handsome sum of £7 10s being handed over to the committee. Messrs Dalman and McComb were also thanked for having taken the position of auditors at the last moment, owing to the auditors who had previously been appointed, not being available. The meeting then closed. *** THE meeting, convened by Miss B. Rogers, to consider in what way money could be raised for the Belgian Relief Fund, was held on Saturday night last, March 6th and was well attended. A good plan was thought out and is to be put into practice at once. It will appeal to everyone, as the amounts asked for are trifling, but, given at regular intervals, will soon mount up to a substantial sum, and everybody will have the satisfaction of knowing they did what they could. Collection cards are now in circulation (each member to have six and hold themselves responsible for them). All cards are numbered, and are to be checked on the 1st of every month, when the meetings are held. Following is the result of the election of office bearers President, Captain Sherlock; Vice presidents, Mesdames Mason and McCormack; Treasurer,

Mr Bert Hay; joint secretaries, Misses Gregory and Rogers. Committee — Misses Sherlock (2), Twining (2), Jackson, Reynolds, Hartland, Young, Mesdames Aitken and Beall, and Messrs Oates, Brody, and Beall. *** THE anniversary of the Main Creek Methodist Sunday School was celebrated on Sunday 28th February. On Monday night March 3rd a public meeting was held in the church and in spite of threatening weather, the building was filled. The entertainment was given by the scholars and teachers of the school, and the children deserved credit for the manner in which their parts were rendered. Mr J. Smith (superintendent of the school) opened the meeting with a hymn and prayer and introduced Sargent Baldry, who occupied the chair throughout the evening. A visit from Santa Claus was much appreciated by the little folk and proved the truth of the old adage, (It is better late than never.) The programme ran as follows. Opening hymn number 1. Sankey’s prayer ; chairman’s address. chorus ‘The shepherd folk’; recitation ‘After the battle,’ Miss Lottie Barker; recitation ‘My suggestion,’ Master Victor Lawford; solo, Miss Ruby Harvey ‘The Australian war song;’ recitation Master Norman Baldry, ‘Boy’s troubles’; solo Master Brinton, ‘The soldiers keepsake;’ Children ‘Patriotic banner march’; recitation Miss McIlroy ‘Tell the rope-maker’ recitation Master Horrie Shand; recitation, Miss Ethel Baldry, ‘When should he come;’

solo Miss Lottie Barker, A Japanese refrain’; recitation Miss Ruby Harvey ‘The lesson in the train’ recitation Lorna Baldry. ‘The Xmas log;’ collection; organ solo, Mrs Brady; children, Xmas glee, ‘Here comes jolly old Santa Claus; solo, Father Xmas, recitation Mrs McIlroy, Handing down;’ solo Master Brinton ‘The song of the drummer’; distribution of prizes; God save the King; benediction. *** THE third annual sports in connection with the Naval Base was held on Saturday last, at which there was a good attendance. The day was very oppressive till about four o’clock when the wind changed to cool, which was a great relief both to onlookers and those taking part in the sports. The officers worked well in getting the long programme through and though a little behind time in starting owing to the lateness of the special train, they managed to keep well up to time. The entries were good, and in the majority of events the finishes were close and exciting. Mr W. H. Wilson, as secretary was the right man in the right place, and kept everything going with a good swing. The Hastings Brass Band was in attendance and played selections during the day. *** FLINDERS Shire Council. Saturday, February 27th, 1915. The monthly meeting of above was held at Dromana, on Saturday last. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 March, 1915

A Grain of Salt WHO is God? A tricky question. We all have two primary advisers: that little voice in your head and of course “they”. Discerning the various advisements from “they” is as difficult as the various interpretations in the bible. “They” spend lots of time on television, radio and obviously are well known as psychologists, the AMA (Masters of “they”), health food proprietors, and almost every person of the wowser type. The Wallabies, Hawks, Ricky Ponting, Mark Webber; seemingly all famous people join the “they” clan and recommend Swisse as the path to health and happiness. (Or Blackmores for only $37.99 at Chemist Warehouse; great value “they” say). “They” are big on the word “organic”. Tea bags, eggs, you name it. Good advice, “they” say. I like white bread, but “they” say no, the brown grainy bread is the go? So there I sit nightly on my Unicare lounge chair, Dettol sprayed coffee table watching Midsomer Murders, a Swisse pill, organic green tea with a dash of permeate free milk, toast of brown grainy bread and organic jam, knowing all is well on the health front. Previous addictions cigarettes and that “disgusting” habit being almost forgotten dreams. *** Metadata! The Australian Federal Police honcho wants power to access personal computer histories to help catch criminals. The possibility of misuse screams loud and clear. Power control freaks at work. No computer, no iPhone? Safe on the principle “If you’ve got nothing to hide you’ve got

nothing to fear”? Have you got kids, grandkids? Sorry, you’re in the mix like it or not, personal freedom in danger. What happens if you’re identified in error? A Current Affair at your door for the ‘sensational’ angle no matter the truth? Metadata, like smoking and alcohol will be a case of “the more they get the more they want”. For your own good. They’re human beings; that’s what human beings do. A form of subtle degradations to our freedom in favour of authoritarianism, almost always historically involving corruption to some degree. As Lord Tony says: “There is no greater responsibility on me, on the government, than keeping you safe”. [On radio: “If you see something suspicious call the National Security Hotline] Refer R G Menzies “Reds under the bed”. *** More often than not the problem is we subconsciously assume trust forgetting the obvious human element throughout every walk of life. The NAB scandal and compensation payouts as a result of self-interested financial advisers are “inappropriate practices”. Who would have thought? Other examples in everyday living associated with natural trust by way of human nature. So you’re gone into the NAB for financial advice, or any bank for that matter, and possibly due to a conflict of interest you’ve lost a few thousand dollars. What can I say? Sorry? Where did the brilliant idea banks were there to help you first pop into your skull? Let’s be honest, you were

a prize duffer in the first place. One wonders if our pollies have noticed the drop in interest rates, obviously affecting pensioners and self-funded retirees with a few bob stashed away in term deposits paying peanuts. Hey - you Canberra suits, the deeming rates need adjusting down, NOW! Superannuation tax breaks, negative gearing and the use of trusts - I mention these on the chance our Treasurer is reading this column. *** The AFL football season looms, aside from the rubbish at the start to make money at our expense. An extra $25 for six months to watch Rupert’s Foxtel. My foolproof system of watching my mighty Magpies. Tape it obviously, watch from the first bounce, switch to a good murder mystery if my boys get two goals behind and, after the match, delete if we lose and watch it all (maybe twice) if we win, (three times if we beat Hawthorn). Fast forward the half-time nonsense from ex-footballers purported to now being expert commentators who almost all love the sound of their own voices and show us lots of intelligent moves in that first half we somehow missed. *** That’s the beauty of Rye. Along comes the perfect sunny days, lazy days with the ever present background of those jet skis, rising to a sound equal only to Beethoven’s 5th. For this we are ever thankful to our thoughtful Mornington Peninsula Council, who in their wisdom have

Red Hill Show’s pole position THE Red Hill Show is now just three weeks away. Submission day for the Show’s many competition categories is looming. Cakes need to be baked, cheeses aged and alpacas groomed. But with only two weeks before their totem pole needs to be constructed, the horticulture staff at the Karingal organisation, led by Senior Site Manager John Proudlock, still appear very relaxed. Six years ago the team, together with the intellectually and physically disabled adults who attend the centre in Rosebud every day, began entering the Red Hill Show’s Decorated Shoe competition. The Red Hill Show ribbons on the wall celebrate their finest competitive moments, including ‘Shoe Horn’ (a shoe adorned with a bull’s horn), ‘Tap Shoe’ (literally a bathroom tap within a shoe) and ‘Boot Scoot’ (a boot attached to a scooter). “No one got that one except for me; it was too obscure for the judges” Proudlock says of ‘Shoo Fly’; a shoe with a jeans zipper instead of laces. ”Tough As Old Boots: that was when we just got an old boot and stuck some knives and forks in it.”

When the Decorated Shoe competition wound up three years ago, the Karingal team switched their focus to the Best Decorated Totem Pole competition. And on this sunny afternoon, the totem pole concepts are flying. “Icy Pole – a totem pole made of ice.” “Pole Dancer – we could do something with that!” “What about a Pole-a Bear?!” “The judge for the Totem Pole Competition, she used to work for McLelland Gallery, and she actually selected all the artwork to go along Peninsula Link,” says Proudlock. With that insider information, the team have a new plan: build a totem pole designed specifically to appeal to judge Charlotte Carter. On Red Hill Show Day – Saturday March 28th - look out for a totem pole inspired entirely by Peninsula Link sculptures. “A Tree of Life totem pole…..stick a ram’s head on top of it….it’s Year of the Goat!” The Red Hill Show will be held on Saturday, March 28th. Some competition categories are still accepting entries – visit redhillshow.com.au for details.

By Cliff Ellen upgraded access at Rye so that we non jet ski enthusiasts can experience the true love and art of music. *** I’m against capital punishment; all cases being political. If I had my way I’d lean heavily towards life imprisonment with, in severe cases, a private parts dismemberment. *** Where did I ever get the idea George Brandis would make a good Minister for the Arts?... Privatising utilities will ALWAYS drive prices up. End of discussion...The National Party’s Andrew Broad suggesting our homes be included in the assets test; one way to get noticed, however stupid...Strange how our government puts these seemingly minor surcharges on certain necessary prescriptions...Boycott Bali and penalise innocent Balinese workers? Must I take the blame for Ronald Ryan’s hanging? Well yes - I haven’t been to Coburg since

1967...“The new Sportsbet cashcard. You can collect at any ATM. And that cash is ALL yours” Yeah-right...Monday 23/2, the night Lachy Hulme arrived in Gallipoli on Channel 9; so?... Maybe if they built a yellow submarine; frighten off the sharks and a well-known theme song... Bring back Sarah Ferguson. *** “How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can’t say and what we can show and what we can’t show it’s enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong; it’s like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can’t eat steak”. [Robert Heinlein]. “We are getting on with government. That’s what we do” [Tony Abbott]... hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond.com www.ello8.com

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

An open letter to the Essendon Football Club By Stuart McCullough CALL it fate. Or kismet. But whatever it is, it’s clear that the stars are well and truly aligned. Here you are, in need of players to field a team. And here am I; with a spare pair of boots, shorts that leave little to the imagination and a whole lot of time on my hands. Destiny has brought us together. In anticipation of your call, I have commenced an exacting regimen of physical training. I’ve done at least a dozen pushups, albeit not all at once and not whilst lying down (the floor needed a vacuum). I am now in the greatest shape in my life, which I think might be a squircle, and I am ready to make my debut as a professional footballer. I was always destined to be a professional athlete. But more than just supreme skills, I bring something to the table other players simply cannot: life experience. This should be of considerable interest to your football club. For starters, unlike most new recruits, I will not have a ridiculous haircut. This is attributable both to old-fashioned common sense as well as a shortage of material. Nor will I decorate myself like a human colouring book as so many footballers do, looking like they’re on day release rather than the interchange bench. As for the risk of staying out late and doing something stupid at a nightclub, rest assured – it’s hard to make a goose of yourself when you’re in bed by ten o’clock after binge-watching episodes of ‘The Wire’. Monosyllabic press conferences will be a thing of the past. In fact, forget

press conferences altogether. Instead, I’ll invite journalists over for a fullblown dinner party with cabana and barbecue shapes, cheese fondue and a fruit platter – the works. There will be no more grunting or glazing over in response to questions from the press as I expound at length. I will never, ever say that I’m taking things ‘one game at a time’, preferring instead to hand out

them lumped with the emotional intelligence of a twelve year old. I realize that it’s supposed to make it sound as though the group is an indivisible entity, but who are we kidding? Football clubs are, like most workplaces, replete with petty jealousies and conflict driven by the unauthorized taking of the last tub of yoghurt from the communal fridge. These disputes are the reason ‘trade week’ was invented. It’s time for honesty. From now on, other players will be ‘workmates’ or, if strictly necessary, ‘colleagues’. As a past player of the Tyabb Junior Football Club, you should be happy to have me. But if I really do need to list my achievements in order to get you over the line, so be it. At the 1984 Club Pie Night and Raffle Draw, I was awarded ‘Best Dressed’. The following year I backed that up with a certificate for ‘Most Punctual’. Say what you will about the Brownlow, but it’s no substitute for turning up on time. For three years running, I got a small statuette describing me as the ‘most improved’ player. Assuming that I have continued that stunning trajectory, it boggles the mind to think about how good I must be by now. I was a halfback flanker. To this day, I hear people on the street describing me a flanker. That said, my hearing is not what it used to be and I’ll concede that these people may, in fact, be referring to me as something that simply sounds like ‘flanker’. I am also an excellent tackler. During an awkward growth spurt in the mid-eighties, I even perfected the art of tackling

copies of my five year strategic plan to members of the assembled media. Yes sir, things are going to be different. That’s not the only change I plan to make. I will not refer to my teammates as ‘the boys’. It’s a term that’s always made me feel uncomfortable; suggesting, as it does, that many of our professional athletes are in a state of perpetual arrested development that sees

myself. The ball would be heading in my general direction and I would start running only to immediately fall over. It did wonders for my match stats. If that doesn’t persuade you, consider this: Tyabb is just one town over from Hastings. And Hastings produced the greatest player ever to strap on the boots for your club, namely John Coleman. It would be a sentimental pick. Although I can’t claim to have kicked as many goals on the football field a John Coleman, I have kicked many other goals in life more generally, including a killer reverse park opposite the supermarket just last week. But, fact is, I’m only writing this letter because I’m starting to get concerned. I would have thought you’d have phoned by now. Essendon: it’s time to think way, way, way outside the box. Pick me to join your rag-tag bunch of underdogs. I am prepared to supply my own boots, socks, oranges and have even come up with my own nickname: the Exfoliater. I’m not sure what it means, but it sure sounds impressive. I realize you’ve got plenty on your mind and to expedite the process, I’ve also enclosed a sample to test at your convenience. Careful with the lid, though, as I’m not sure it’s watertight. Please send through the dates and times for training sessions when you get a chance. If, despite this letter, you decide not to select me, please retain the sample as my gift to you. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Graze the Bays is ready to rumble. Or at least appease that tummy rumble! Graze the Bays - an event that celebrates the Peninsula’s great food and beverages with a core focus of seafood - is counting the sleeps until its debut. The Masterclasses are one of the best value sessions in this year’s Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, with 1 hour sessions at just $25. Places are however limited. Graze is designed to be just that – the opportunity to Graze on various tasty treats – whilst enjoying local wines, beers, ciders and spirits. The seafood selection includes Port Phillip Bay mussels, paella, local squid, sliders and more. With two Mornington Peninsula wine varietals having won more gold medals than anywhere else in Australia why wouldn`t you check out how good Peninsula wine producers are? The seafood producers and businesses of the region are equally proud of their product; many are involved with the initiative to endorse the quality of our marine harvests with a specific event. Whilst for many the Bays molluscs may take centre stage, the ‘Graze Live Stage’ is predominantly dedicated to the preparation and cooking of all kinds of seafood. Masters have kindly donated the kitchen, and Graze the Bays is proud to have two Foxtel shows prevalent in the on stage

The beautiful and historic Morning Star Estate in Mount Eliza with its sweeping Bay views is the venue for this family friendly day out. Graze is a free entry event, although parking is by gold coin donation and $5 tasting packs will need to be purchased for the consumption of alcohol. Graze is a strictly non BYO alcohol and food event.

Sorras win a thriller PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully SORRENTO gets another crack at a Provincial pennant after drawing on first innings with Long Island in the semi final on the weekend. Resuming on the second day at 7/68 with star Nick Jewell still at the crease, Sorrento was eventually bowled out for 92, the same score Long Island made the day before. Given Sorrento finished higher on the ladder, that was enough to get them through to the grand final. Long Island administrators will still be regretting the error in clearing Brad Denny, which cost them the outright win against Rye and 20 points. These 20 points would have seen Long Island finish on top of the ladder and advance to the grand final after drawing with Sorrento. Instead of clearing Denny from Peninsula Old Boys, where he played one game last season, they cleared him from Somerville. It was a tough call from the MPCA but the rules are the rules. After drawing the semi final with Sorrento, the Islanders batted again

but conceded the match after falling quickly to 7/47. Scott Phillips made a pair of ducks, however he did snare seven wickets, including a hat–trick that netted Anthony Blackwell, Jack Falck and Leigh Poholke. On the opening day of the match, Blackwell snared 6/5 off 11 overs while Andrew King picked up 3/23. The excitement in the match, other than 27 wickets falling, was a streaker! Late on the second day in the other semi final between Peninsula Old Boys and Baxter, the game was evenly poised after POB won the toss and batted first. The Old Boys made 9/224 in their 80 overs, Jon Forrest top scoring with 47, while Matt Hyden scored 38, Brandon Lawler 31 and Dylan O’Malley 25. Baxter lost their first wicket on the second day for 42, before Shane McComb was run out and Ben Matters was caught behind. At that stage Baxter was 3/65. After tea on Sunday, Baxter had regained the upper hand at 3/46 with Daniel Warwick and Dale Irving still at the crease nearing their 50’s.

District games go to wire

DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE District semi finals still had plenty of life in them at tea on the second day. While Somerville won on first innings against Seaford, Red Hill was still needing 30 runs with two wickets in hand in their match against Main Ridge. Seaford needed 25 runs with one wicket in hand at the beginning of the second day of their match at Somerville. However, Nick Simpendorfer could only add a further five runs to his overnight total of 39 before going out. Seaford was bowled out for 97, giving Somerville a first innings lead of 17. Somerville was cruising in its second innings at 3/63, however, had slumped to 7/94 at tea – a lead of 123. Given there were only 40 overs left in the match at that point, the Eagles were in the box seat. There were some however who believed that a target of 140 off 20 overs would still be achieveable for Seaford, considering their batting line up. In the other semi final, the all-conquering Red Hill was still 30 runs from victory at tea against Main Ridge on the second day. The Hillmen were cruising at 2/70, chasing Main Ridges’ 158, however, at tea were reeling at 8/128. With Nick Esipoff still at the crease, anything was possible for the home side. Brad Rossborough top scored for the Ridge with a half century. At tea, Rossborough had claimed two wickets and Jason Albress had claimed three.

Panthers claw thrilling victory SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE will play Rosebud in the Sub District grand final this weekend after each recording thrilling semi final victories last weekend. After scoring just 101, Pearcedale successfully defended the total, rolling YCW in dramatic circumstances two runs short of the total. The Stonecats resumed at 2/35 on Sunday but lost two quick wickets and the game was even once again. Paul Bradley, Pat Falzon and Paul Fulton threatened to take the game away from Pearcedale, getting within 15 runs of the total before Bradley was caught and Falzon was trapped in front. Andrew Kitson was removed for a duck and this left Fulton and his son Sam to get the half a dozen runs needed for victory. Paul Fulton went for a quick single on the arm of Pearcedale skipper Kaine Smith, which left his 16-yearold son Sam short by at least two metres. There were another 40-odd overs left in the match. YCW lost their last four wickets for 12 runs. Shayne Gillings finished with seven wickets for Pearcedale after top scoring with 33 on the opening day. At tea on the second day, Pearcedale was batting out the overs and were 1/17. Rosebud beat Tootgarook on the first day of their semi final. Tootgarook batted first and were bowled out for just 64. Jason Nagel was sensational for the Buds with 6/13. In reply, the Buds got to 5/65 at stumps, a lead of one. The home side and flag favorites were eventually bowled out on the second day for 111, a lead of 46.
