Game over for playing fields move Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE door has finally shut on a secretive bid to move Mentone Grammar’s playing fields in Keysborough in to Melbourne’s urban growth boundary, ending the possibility of the sports fields being sold off for residential development. Planning Minister Richard Wynne wrote to Kingston Council last week to reject council’s request to rezone Green Wedge land at 732-928 Springvale Rd and 327 Governor Rd, Braeside. “Current government policy does not support expansion of the urban growth boundary or allow inappropriate urban development in the Green Wedge Zones,” Mr Wynne stated in his letter. “The urban growth boundary supports the orderly development of land, discourages the unnecessary extension of community infrastructure and helps preserve the qualities of non-metropolitan and rural areas.” The land council asked to be rezoned included the elite private school’s playing fields and, while the school denied it planned to sell the land for property development, The News revealed early last year that Mentone Grammar approached council behind the scenes to have the Keysborough land included in the urban growth boundary. Mentone Grammar wrote to council’s hired planning consultant Planisphere just before the firm finalised a green wedge report for council’s consideration in August 2012. The school asked for its Keysborough playing fields to be included in the urban growth

boundary, instead of staying in the Green Wedge, where development is extremely restricted. Planisphere recommended the playing fields remain within Kingston’s Green Wedge in its 2012 Kingston Green Wedge Plan. Council, for reasons never explained, decided to keep the school’s submission confidential. Other submissions to Planisphere were made public. The month before it was revealed Mentone Grammar pushed to have its Keysborough land rezoned, a narrow majority of Kingston councillors voted to investigate the possibility of moving the urban growth boundary in the area. Crs Tamara Barth, David Eden, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West were outvoted four-five in a bid to stop the rezoning move in January last year by Crs Tamsin Bearsley, Ron Brownlees, Geoff Gledhill, John Ronke and Paul Peulich. Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said this week Mentone Grammar had been advised of the state government’s decision but “council hasn’t had a chance to discuss it”. “We’re mindful of the fact that when we bring up the urban growth boundary the Planning Minister is not going to just think about that in terms of Kingston but in terms of the entire state which is an onerous task,” he said. Mentone Grammar principal Mal Cater sent a statement when asked for the school’s views on the state government rejection of the rezoning request. “This is a process Mentone Grammar has limited control over. This is a matter for the Kingston Council and the state government. We are delighted to have outstanding playing fields at Keysborough.”

Cash for kinder ‘challenge’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON councillors have promised to work with the Chelsea Heights Kindergarten to try to ensure the kinder’s long-term viability for future generations. A funding swap with Chelsea Kindergarten threatened to leave the Chelsea Heights with less money than needed to renovate its existing Third Ave site to include a second room to meet imminent state mandated child to carer ratios requirements (‘Cash swap not child’s play’, The News 2/9/15). Councillors at Monday evening’s public council meeting unanimously agreed to defer a decision on any council funding so detailed plans can be mapped out to both the kinder committee and council’s satisfaction. The Labor state government has promised $450,000 for redevelopment works after agreeing to switch $2 million in funding promised by the previous Coalition government to a relocation of the Chelsea Kindergarten instead. At Monday’s council meeting Cr Ron Brownlees complained council had been made to look like “the ogres” in “a disgraceful situation” council had not caused. “We didn’t promise the money for either of those kinders and the fact that they were locked together as a double project and there has been a reversal of funding due to an issue that was not of our doing,” Cr Brownlees said. “We have tried to make it happen by offering a small amount of money – we don’t have to offer any money because

there was never any promises made. Any political promises made to us – we weren’t even engaged as far as I know about the project in square one and what they were costing.” Other councillors recognised the need to rein in costs but also acknowledged council’s central role in funding childcare options in the community. “It is normally either ward councillors or a relevant department working with a particular kinder and realising there is a need for renewal,” Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said. “In this case it has been in the reverse, which I think has presented some challenges and there is also been a level of inconsistency with who we have been discussing the matters with.”

A council officer’s report lodged at Monday night’s meeting stated anything less $520,000 in council funding was “non-negotiable”. A letter from the Chelsea Heights Kindergarten committee, seen by The News, sent to councillors before Monday’s meeting denied this assertion and said the kinder “has been strongly willing to try and negotiate and find the best solutions for our community”. Cr Gledhill hoped a solution agreeable to all parties can be found. “We will get it back on track and we can handle it in a manner that we can be pretty proud of, the way we have handled many early learning/kinder outcomes in the past,” he said.

FEW 81-year-olds are as active as Lois Dennington, of Edithvale. Still working full time in Mornington, the octogenarian is about to represent Victoria in five swimming events at the Australian Masters Games. Ms Dennington first began competitive swimming after her youngest child left home in 1984 – now she has won so many medals that she’s lost track. “I have three photo albums full of pictures of my medals,” he quipped. She’s hoping to bring home more gold this week. “I’m competing in five events: three backstroke and two freestyle.” Ms Dennington holds the Victorian records for the 50, 100 and 200 metres backstroke in the 80-84-yearold category. A key factor in keeping her social and active is regularly attending her

swimming club, she says. An ageing population in the Frankston-Mornington Peninsula region makes it increasingly important for oldies to keep healthy and active. Peninsula Health’s successful Ageing Well Expo, held during Seniors Week, is the largest event in the region dedicated to ageing well. The expo, in its 10th year, attracts more than 1200 residents to see its specialty workshops and stalls tackling ageing issues, such as healthy eating, planning for retirement, power of attorney and mental health. The expo will be held 9.30am2pm, Thursday 8 October, at New Peninsula Baptist Church, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

Poison canisters danger warning for beaches BEACHGOERS are being reminded not to open any containers washed up on Kingston beaches. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority warned toxic canisters in the Torres Strait, Queensland, NSW, South Australia and Tasmania. The unlabelled silver canisters contain a rat poison known as aluminium phosphide. When a canister is opened, powder reacts with moisture in the air to release highly toxic phosphine gas which is a danger to humans. While there have been no reported cases in Victoria and currents make it likely these containers will not find their way to Port Phillip Bay it is a reminder for all beachgoers to report mystery canisters washed ashore at any time. Exposure to phosphine gas can cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, breathing dif-

ficulties, dizziness, tightness of the chest, diarrhoea, fluid in the lungs, liver/kidney damage, and in severe cases death. The gas is also flammable and can spontaneously ignite causing burns or small explosions. Most aluminium phosphide is imported into Australia from China and Africa, and the unused nature of the canisters suggests they have come from an unreported shipping cargo loss sometime before February 2012. The AMSA will monitor the situation and provide technical advice to local hazmat and emergency response services when the canisters are washed ashore. Queensland and NSW fire and emergency services have dealt with over 40 canisters washed up in three years. Canisters should not be moved or opened and any sightings should be reported to emergency services on 000.

Toxic danger: Rat poison, also a danger to humans, is in containers washed up on beaches.

Booklovers share helping hand VOLUNTEER Adele Parker has been delivering library items to Mentone’s Helen Latham for the past five years. Ms Parker, a former librarian, is a member of Kingston Home Library Service’s team who volunteers so she can share her love of books with the community. “Helen loves a good mystery novel so I keep an eye out on the library website or browse the shelves looking for new authors for her to explore,” she said. “We chat about books we’ve enjoyed and encourage one another to try something new. It’s a wonderful service – but we need to spread the word and get more people involved.” The library service’s volunteers deliver books, DVDs, magazines and other items to elderly or ill residents unable to visit their local branch. And they are looking for more people to help. “Community members are matched

with a volunteer who can discuss their interests and suggest new books, DVDs, CDs and more to try,” mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said. “If you, or someone you know, could use this service then please contact your local library to sign up for this free service.” Items that can be borrowed include large print books, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs, Wii Games, music and talking book CDs, magazines and a wide range of books. Library staff can also explain how to access the many eBooks, eAudio books and online magazines available through the Library website. To find out more about the Home Library Service, or to join the volunteer team, call 1300 135 668. For those who still like to visit their local library, but require some assistance, Kingston’s community bus service offers fortnightly transport to the Chelsea, Cheltenham or Parkdale libraries.

A CORONER’S inquest into the death of Tyabb boy Luke Batty – and the circumstances leading up to the tragedy – has found that it could not have been predicted. Judge Ian Gray said in a 111-page finding released on Monday that the 11-year-old’s death “was not reasonably foreseeable by anyone – including his mother, Rosie Batty”. But Mr Gray noted that circumstances leading up to the event were exacerbated by “a failure to engage [his father Greg] Anderson in the family violence system and make him accountable for his actions”. He also stated: “Luke’s death, from the practicable point of view, was not preventable from the time he entered the cricket nets to practice with his father.” The Flinders Christian Community College boy was killed by Mr Anderson after cricket training at Tyabb reserve in February last year – an event described by the Coroner as the “tragic death of a young life full of promise”. Mr Anderson was shot by police and died later in hospital. Mrs Batty was at the ground at the time and, after querying her son as to his feelings about being left alone with his father, agreed later she “knew he never believed his dad would ever hurt him, by physically hurting him”. She said she supported Luke having a relationship with his father. Mr Gray found that Mr Anderson had murdered his son, and that the death was preceded by years of fam-

ily violence perpetrated by him on Luke and his mother. He said he was unable to determine the reason for the killing, but noted from Mrs Batty’s evidence that Luke was growing older and wished to withdraw from his father, and that Mr Anderson realised this and wanted to exert control over his son. Evidence to the Coroner that Mr Anderson had a delusional disorder was accepted, but without evidence from a full psychiatric assessment it was found that “no finding can be made with certainty about whether Mr Anderson suffered from any particular mental illness or how he might have been treated”. Mr Gray added: “No person or agency could have reasonably been expected to foresee that Mr Anderson would be that rare perpetrator, nor Luke the rare victim, of a violent filicide.” Chelsea police could have detained Mr Anderson after they spoke to him at a residential address about an alleged violent incident three weeks before he murdered his son but were

unaware of five warrants out for his arrest at the time. The coroner noted: “The Chelsea police officers were not aware of the unexecuted warrants because they were not on LEAP. This was a major system failure and yet another lost opportunity to bring Mr Anderson to account.” LEAP is Victoria Police’s Law Enforcement Assistance Program used by police officers to log incident reports. Mr Gray did note Mr Anderson could have been released on bail by 12 February - the day of Luke’s death - even if he had been arrested by Chelsea police. Mr Gray made 29 recommendations, including that the State of Victoria seek to accurately identify a person’s risk of being the victim of family violence, and a perpetrator’s risk of repeating family violence. Others referred to whether greater weight should be given to the victim’s own level of fear in assessing the risk posed to her and her children. Mr Gray welcomed an expected overhaul of Victoria Police’s methods in treating family violence cases, including the roll out of a Risk Assessment and Management Panels to better assess risk, in the aftermath of the tragedy. He also recommended that all agencies within the family violence system be “sufficiently supported” to provide training and professional development so they can provide realistic and effective violence risk assessments. He described Ms Batty as a compelling witness who clearly was a “loving, careful and thoughtful mother”. “Her decisions were completely motivated by her deep love for her son.

Police patrol

Cage thieves THEFTS from security cages at apartment blocks are worrying police. They say that, too often, items inside are easily visible. A cage in the underground car park at an Edithvale Rd block was forced open by thieves, 3am, Friday. Several robberies have previously been reported at the address. Owners said thieves walked down the driveway into the guest car parking area. The gate was not locking properly and was easily pushed open. Three thieves captured on CCTV are seen stealing tools, fishing rods, power tools and a mountain bike. Two were wearing dark-coloured hoodies and the third a light-coloured hoodie. Call Kingston CIU on 9556 6565 with information.

Liquor, tablet stolen A BURGLAR forced a rear door to a Golden Av, Chelsea property and stole electrical equipment, including a TV and pc tablet, and three bottles of liquor. The 28-year-old female victim and her son returned home Friday to find the side gate smashed and the back door kicked in. The single storey unit is one of seven in the block. A neighbour said he saw a “boxy” darkcoloured four-wheel-drive outside with its lights on high beam around the time of the thefts. Anyone with information is asked to call Kingston CIU on 9556 6565.

Road rage spit A 36-YEAR-old man was spat at during an unpleasant road rage confrontation in Station St, Carrum,

7am, Tuesday last week. The man, of Patterson Lakes, told Mordialloc police he was about to cross the tracks near Carrum railway station when a male driver in front stopped, swerved and did an illegal U-turn, causing him to brake heavily. The offender, who appeared to be drug-affected, stopped near the victim and spat in his face before spinning his wheels and speeding off. There may have been a child in the back seat. The man was driving a white station wagon. He is described as Caucasian, aged 30-40, dark hair, gaunt, with dirty rotting teeth. Anyone with information on this unlawful assault should call Mordialloc police on 9588 2988.

Crimes linked TWO Braeside burglaries appear to be linked. A thief stole a trailer from Caddy Storage, Boundary Rd, Braeside, early Sunday morning. CCTV footage shows him backing up to the trailer and hooking it up to his burgundy coloured Ford or Holden before driving off. Its registration number is T89765. At around the same time, tools and a spanner set valued at $500 were stolen from Burson’s Auto Parts in the same street. The manager responding to the alarm found the back door wedged open. Drawers and filing cabinets had been ransacked. Call Kingston CIU on 9556 6565 with information.

Stolen cards used BURGLARS stole a laptop and children’s money boxes from a house in Stewart Av, Parkdale, Tuesday last week. The 45-year-old male victim said the offenders walked up the drive-

way and used a shovel from a shed to jemmy open a timber awning window. They entered the living room where they stole the laptop, then searched the children’s bedrooms stealing significant amounts of cash as well as costume jewellery, and the main bedroom where they stole jewellery. Call Kingston CIU on 9556 6565.

Cleaning up WORKERS at the rear of Tassie Fine Foods, Downard St, Braeside, did not notice possibly two men enter the front of the business and make off with a $10,000 high-pressure hose. One was captured on CCTV wearing a hoodie and a black beanie during the raid, 3am, Wednesday last week. Police say it would have taken more than one person to lift the cleaning equipment.

Jewellery, notes stolen JEWELLERY and an old currency collection were stolen in a residential burglary at a house in Lauren St, Aspendale, which was discovered 7.30am, Tuesday last week. The 59-year-old victim told police thieves smashed a rear window, reached in and unlocked the back door. They ransacked two front bedrooms and searched draws and cupboards for the valuable notes and jewellery, including an expensive ring, and an iPad. A large amount of current notes was also stolen. A laneway runs alongside the single-storey brick house. Police say the robbery may be linked to others in Laura St, 11 September, and Gothic Av, 10 September. Anyone with information is asked to call Kingston CIU on 9556 6565.

No go for GoPro cams on helmets MODERN technology was on trial in Frankston Magistrates’ Court last week in a judgement with implications for motorcycle riders across Victoria. A magistrate fined motorcyclist Max Lichtenbaum $150 for wearing two small GoPro-type cameras on his helmet and dismissed an appeal by the Frankston rider to have an infringement notice issued by police thrown out. Mr Lichtenbaum had originally been fined $289 and three demerit points after he was stopped by police on 22 March in Plowman Place, Frankston while wearing the helmet-cam. Police said the 55-year-old had broken safety standards by adding extensions to his motorcycle helmet. Mr Lichtenbaum’s lawyer said last week’s court decision “is a disappointing outcome for riders and for motorcycle safety”. “Riders tell us they wear helmet cameras to improve their safety while on the roads, and that drivers and other road users show more care when there is a camera in use,” Maurice Blackburn principal Malcolm Cumming said. “And if there is a road accident or collision, helmet camera footage is among the best evidence you can get.” Mr Cumming said riders should not be punished for trying to improve road safety. He slammed helmet laws across Australia as “a dog’s breakfast”. “We continue to call for urgent re-

form in the law to fix the ambiguity around compliance of helmets with Australian Standards.” Australian Motorcycle Council helmets committee chair Guy Stanford said motorcycle helmet safety standards vary from state to state so riders crossing state borders could find themselves unwittingly pinged by police due to differing safety rules. In South Australia and Queensland, for example, road rules state a helmet only needs to comply with Australian Standards at the time of manufacture. Mr Stanford said Victorian authorities’ insistence that any helmet protrusion of more than 5 millimetres could cause injuries in an accident “has been discounted internationally”. “The whole set up for how this is being managed for Victoria is appallingly bad,” he said. Mr Stanford said crash test results globally have shown helmet cameras do not cause further injury to riders unless a hole has been drilled to bolt a camera to a helmet. He urged all state governments to implement a nationwide set of safety standards to include the right to affix a small camera to helmets. Mr Cumming said an appeal against Mr Lichtenbaum’s fine may be lodged with the Supreme Court. “We will continue to push for standardised national helmet laws that embrace new technology and rider safety.” Neil Walker

Karate king joins the greats SEAFORD dojo martial arts instructor Soke, Tony Ball, has been honoured with an induction into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame last month. Ball has been training and has trained many others in martial arts called Fudoshin Ryu Bujutsu, a blend of aikido, kung fu, judo, jujutsu, weaponry and karate, with a focus on the unity of the mind, body and spirit. Dojo black belt Senpai, Sean Hosking, said the Australian Martial Arts Hall of Fame is “very selective” when it comes to choosing hall of fame inductees. Soke Ball was inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame at a ceremonial dinner event in Hobart on 22 August for in the lifetime achievement category. “This has been a long time coming. Soke Tony Ball has

been involved in community work for many years including the ground work for the martial arts therapy program taught in many Victorian schools now,” Senpai Hosking said. Soke Ball joins other Australian inductees such as Richard Norton (actor in Mad Max: Fury Road and several Jackie Chan movies) and world heavyweight Kyokushin Karate champion Bruce Haynes. Soke Tony Ball is a martial arts teacher at the not-forprofit Yamagawa-ha Fudoshin Ryu at Seaford Community Centre, corner of Station and Broughton St, Seaford. The school plans to open a second dojo in Aspendale soon. See fudoshinmartialarts.net or call 9539 3836 for further information.

Doomed duo: Romeo (Zachary Thomas) and Juliet (Gretel Sharp) seal their love for each other with a kiss as Dionysus Theatre’s storytellers Sam (Madeline Rintoul) and Greg (Mitchell Sholer) watch from afar, feeling they have to do something about the lovers’ fate in Shakespeare’s play. Picture: Rebecca Benson

Love is all around ‘in the round’ FICTION’S two most famous star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are coming to Frankston next month thanks to a Dionysus Theatre production of Shakespeare’s passionate and tense tragedy. Romeo & Juliet will be staged at the McClelland College Performing Arts Centre in early October and director Emma Sproule is looking forward to bringing the tale of the two lovers caught between the feuding Capulet and Montague families to life. Those who already know the story of Romeo & Juliet will still find the Dionysus Theatre take on the Shakespeare play unique. “Ours is an interpretation that focuses on the power of the story and how timeless it continues to be as we introduce two storytellers, Sam and Greg, who weave in and out of the story in order to heighten our appreciation and understanding of its effect on us, even though we know from the very beginning exactly how it has to end,” Ms Sproule said.

In a post-modern twist, Sam and Greg become players in the story and try to save the doomed titular lovers. For centuries, Romeo & Juliet has been the love story by which all others are measured, and even though so many of its elements are outdated, extreme and unrealistic, it is as relevant today as it was more than 400 years ago. Dionysus’ twist to this tale shows that it still today remains the greatest love story ever told and it continues to be told because that is the power of a great story – the power that we never tire of sharing and living them; even when we know how they will end. Romeo & Juliet will be performed ‘in the round’ at McClelland College Performing Arts Centre, 26 Alexander Crescent, Karingal, 2-10 October, 8pm. Tickets $30, $25 concession, group booking discounts. See dionysustheatre. com.au for full dates and booking information.

Camping fun and inspiration for diabetes fighters Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FOUR teenagers with diabetes received some welcome inspiration from former AFL player Jack Fitzpatrick in Mt Eliza last week. Ben McVea, 15, of Langwarrin, Imogen Price, 12, of Somerville, Caleb Govan, 12, of Pearcedale and Billie Angelone, 14, of Parkdale, were participants in a four-day Diabetes Victoria senior camp at Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza. They are learning how to live well with type 1 diabetes in a fun, safe and supportive environment, and shared a culture of independence through adventure. Billie Angelone was diagnosed in July 2005 when she was four. She used to cry every time she had to inject insulin, which was hard for her parents to watch. Billie can’t remember life without diabetes and is having a fun time at camp. “At home, I don’t have any friends who have diabetes,” she said. “It’s great to meet others and to receive so much support.” She’s keen to catch up with her new friends after returning home and to stay in touch through social media. She says people at home accept her diabetes but don’t necessarily understand what it’s like to live with the condition every day. She greatly enjoyed meeting professional football player Jack Fitzpatrick. “It was inspiring to hear his story,” Billie said. “It’s really motivating to hear how he manages his diabetes

to live a full and happy life. There’s nothing you can’t do if you have diabetes.” Billie believes the world is her stage and loves performing in school productions, dance, school aerobics and drama. Caleb Govan was diagnosed in October 2012. “Initially, the shock was quite overwhelming and it took some time and many tears to get our heads around it,” said his mum Rebecca, a busy mother of five. “There are no days off with diabetes but we have found that, as we accepted

the diagnoses, it just became part of our everyday life.” Caleb has been really excited about going to the camp – and has found it even better than he imagined: “I am rapt to be here for the first time. I have learned new things about diabetes and have met great people.” He plans to stay in touch with new buddy Ben McVea after camp. Caleb said he wished he didn’t have diabetes but still has a positive attitude: “I don’t hate it, I don’t like it. You just have to live with it.” Caleb loved meeting Jack Fitzpatrick

and was inspired at hearing his personal story. “If you can do that, you really can do anything. The sky is your limit,” he said. A keen “builder”, Caleb is an active boy who loves playing on the family poultry farm where there is always “something fun” to keep him occupied. Imogen Price was only three when she was diagnosed. “We felt scared and overwhelmed at the time,” her mum Amanda Cox said. “It felt like all of our life became about Imogen.” Today, almost 10 years later, Imogen

is living well with her diabetes: “It’s just a matter of control,” the 12-year old said. Imogen has had “tons of fun” at the camp and loves to socialise: “It’s fantastic to meet others with diabetes and to hear their stories.” Imogen loves ballroom dancing, reading and writing in her free time. In 2006, when Ben McVea was diagnosed, his parents Lesley and Ross felt overwhelmed. The diagnosis started a big learning process. Now, the family takes each day as it comes and tries not overreact to the highs and lows. Ben is a passionate footy player and had great fun meeting Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick said living with type 1 diabetes “can be frustrating sometimes”. “When I was diagnosed three years ago, it was quite confronting to hear that I would have to have multiple insulin injections every day for the rest of my life. “But life with diabetes doesn’t have to be a struggle. I absolutely believe that diabetes will only ever hold you back if you let it.” About 50 teenagers from all over Victoria spent four days of their school holidays at the camp. They are among 2900 Victorians aged under 18 living with type 1 diabetes. Also attending were various health professionals and diabetes educators. Diabetes Victoria organises six diabetes camps every year in partnership with the Royal Children’s Hospital and Southern Health.

Splish splash: A successful year-long trial of an off-leash area along Mentone beach means dog owners can relax with their pets at all times. Picture: Tracey Cheeseman

Pooches’ beach fun in sun DOG lovers in Mentone will be able to exercise their four-legged friends at all hours of the day or night following a successful year-month trial of a 24-hour dog off leash area at Mentone beach. The permanent dog beach is located on a 450-metre long stretch of beach between Charman Rd and the entry point opposite Plummer Rd in Mentone. Dogs must be under effective control at all times and are not allowed off leash until they reach the sand. In other areas of Kingston’s beaches, summer rules governing the times dogs are allowed on beaches apply from 1 November to 31 March: n dogs are not permitted on the beach at all from 10am-7.30pm n dogs can be on-lead on the foreshore only from 7.30pm-10am

n dogs can be off-lead on the foreshore from sunrise to 10am n at Carrum beach dogs are allowed off-leash from 7.30pm-10am, but prohibited on the beach between 10am-7.30pm. Mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said the designated dog beaches and times meet the different needs of dog walkers during the peak summer period. “Council aims to strike a balance between dog owners who love to walk their pets at the beach and members of the public, particularly families, who prefer to visit the beach without dogs,” Cr Gledhill said. Kingston also has several off leash parks and four sites with dog exercise equipment in Chelsea, Mordialloc, Cheltenham and Clayton South.

Hit-run mum death charges Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

UN O IT NL S Y AV FE AI W LA BL E

THE laying of floral tributes and a public vigil united Carrum Downs residents on Sunday evening to bid a sad farewell to mother-of-two Andrea Lehane. The 34-year-old was tragically killed when run down by one of a group of “monkey-bike” riders as she walked over a pedestrian crossing to the shopping centre at about 5pm last Wednesday (23 September). A Frankston North man, 18-yearold Caleb Jakobsson, appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court over her death on Saturday. He faces eight charges, including culpable driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop after an accident, failing to render assistance after an accident, unlicensed driving and driving an unregistered vehicle. He did not apply for bail and was remanded to reappear in court this week. It is alleged Mr Jakobsson was riding the second in a group of four monkey bikes when it hit Ms Lehane, throwing her up to seven metres along the bitumen, where she landed on her head and sustained serious head and chest injuries. In the collision the rider and a pillion passenger were thrown from the bike, with the passenger running off before Mr Jakobsson remounted and rode away to join the other monkey bike riders, leaving Ms Lehane for dead.

Ms Lehane was taken by air ambulance to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition. Husband James made the heart-wrenching decision to turn off life support on Saturday. He will honour her wish to donate her organs. Two boys, aged 16 and 17, have also been charged in relation to the incident. They have been bailed to appear at a children’s court on charges of reckless conduct endangering life and unlicensed driving. Floral tributes adorned the area where the incident occurred, with many shoppers still in shock on Sunday. Others were angry at the apparent lack of action over “young hoons” who frequently charge through the centre in groups, do “monos” and wheelies and harass cyclists. Ms Lehane, a nurse, had children aged three and four. Their dad took them to see the floral tributes laid as a mark of respect to their mum. Detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit made the arrests at Frankston police station Friday afternoon and Saturday with the “person of most interest” – the rider of the bike which struck Ms Lehane – the last to be charged after handing himself in. CCTV footage shows the monkey bike allegedly driven by Mr Jakobsson – carrying a pillion passenger – colliding with Mrs Lehane as she nears the end of the crossing. The rider falls off and the passenger runs away while Mrs Lehane lies on the bitumen. The rider quickly gets back on and – disregarding his vic-

tim’s plight – quickly rides off in a westerly direction. Police later described the behaviour of the five motorcycle riders as “callous”. Off-duty Frankston SES member Steve Wall, who was shopping at the regional centre, witnessed the aftermath of the incident and was one of the first to assist the stricken woman near the entrance to Safeway. “When I got out of my car she must have just been hit,” he said. “The little bikes drove past very fast.” “I started to walk towards the shop and I saw people running towards her. She was in a poor state. I got a blanket and put it over her and waited until the paramedics arrived.” Mr Wall praised the efforts on an off-duty female paramedic who eased Mrs Lehane’s immediate suffering. He and another shopper used a blanket to shield the injured woman from bystanders while ambulance officers treated her. Some witnesses chased the riders but couldn’t catch them. Monkey bikes were banned by Frankston Council in 2007. The bikes, which can travel at up to 70kph, are not allowed on public roads or footpaths. The speed limit in the car park where Ms Lehane was struck is 10kph. nA crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for Ms Lehane’s family had raised more than $40,000 by Sunday evening.

Help for arthritic feet and knees ARE you one of the many people who suffer arthritis in your feet, knee’s or hips? Arthritis can occur at any age, and literally means “pain within a joint.” As a result, arthritis is a term used broadly to refer to a number of different conditions. There are three types of arthritis that may affect your foot, ankle and knee.

Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative or “wear and tear” arthritis, is a common problem for many people after they reach middle age. Over the years, the smooth, gliding surface covering the ends of bones (cartilage) becomes worn and frayed. This results in inflammation, swelling, and pain in the joint. Osteoarthritis progresses slowly and the pain and stiffness it causes worsens over time. Rheumatoid Arthritis Unlike osteoarthritis, which follows a predictable pattern in certain joints, rheumatoid arthritis is a system-wide disease. It is an inflammatory disease where the patient’s own immune system attacks and destroys cartilage. Post-Traumatic Arthritis Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after an injury. This type of arthritis is similar to osteoarthritis and may develop years after a fracture, severe sprain, or ligament injury. Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are many treatment options available to assist with pain and maintain mobility so you can stay active and live a fulfilling life, reducing the need

for ongoing medications or surgery. It’s important to seek help early so that treatment can begin as soon as possible but also important is getting a correct diagnosis and addressing aggravating factors so the most appropriate treatment can be provided. The good news is expert help is just around the corner. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading musculoskeletal Podiatry practices specifically focuses on assisting pain, injury and degenerative issues, including arthritis. With enormous success assisting many living on the peninsula, for over 7 years, they utilize the very latest medical science and treatments to help patients avoid surgery and get active again.

Cardiac Rehabilitation - It’s Not Just About The Heart PRESIDENT of the Victorian Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation, Emma Boston, has a passionate interest in heart care. She has been working as a nurse in Critical Care for over 20 years, with the last ten years specifically focusing on looking after heart patients as the Cardiac Rehabilitation Coordinator here at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital. Emma has developed an interest in the mental wellbeing of cardiac patients and has assisted the Heart Research Centre to develop resources for heart patients that inform them of the potential risk of developing increased anxiety, stress and or depression. This can occur during the hospital admission or in the first few weeks of recovery at home following a cardiac event. Our hospital is committed to promoting “Cardiac Blues” and recognises that “a heart event is an emotional experience, not just a physical one”. We will be conducting an awareness week for our patients and caregivers to coincide with Cardiac Blues Day – 8th October, 2015. Our caregivers will be encouraged to wear blue on the actual day and fundraising activities will be held throughout the week. Our fundraising efforts will occur over the next several weeks raising funds for the Heart Research Centre to continue the very important work they do in the area of mental wellbeing for cardiac patients. Raffle tickets for numerous prizes will be available for purchase at our hospital reception.

SENIORS WEEK

Free Hearing Check for Seniors CHELSEA HEARING will be offering free hearing checks for seniors during October as part of the Victorian Senior Festival. This is a great initiative to have your hearing assessed by a professional as some people can be unaware their hearing has deteriorated. Here are some hearing loss statistics and signs to be aware of. Hearing loss statistics:

• Turning the TV or stereo up • Frequently asking for repeats • Not being able to hear well on the telephone • Missing out on important parts of conversation • Difficulty hearing in noise. Hearing aids:

• Incidence of hearing loss in nursing homes in 85%

Big advances have been made in hearing aid technology in the last few years. Almost everyone with a hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids. Hearing aids are usually small, discrete and comfortable to wear. There are also alternative to hearing aids, including amplified headphones for the television.

• Incidence of hearing loss in men over 70 is 88%

What to do:

• 1 in 6 Australians has a hearing loss. • 6 in 10 people over 60 have a hearing loss • 7 in 10 people over 70 have a hearing loss

People often wait 6-10 years before seeking help for their hearing loss. Other people (friends and family) are often the first ones to notice the hearing loss. Signs of hearing loss include:

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

First hand account from Gallipoli pily will now be removed. *** IN our report of the send-off to Frankston volunteers last week an error occurred in stating that the presentation to Private R. Dixon had been made by Mornington residents. It should have been that the presentation was made by three of Mr Dixon’s personal friends in Frankston. *** A PRESENTATION was made to Miss Gale, last week by the pupils of the Frankston State School in the shape of a nice clock, the occasion being the departure of that young lady to Dookie, to which school she has been appointed. Miss Gale was a favorite with her pupils and also with the fellow-teachers, and their best wishes go with her for her future welfare. *** THE many friends of Mr and Mrs F. T. Hill, will sincerely regret to hear that they have received word from the Defence Department that their son Eric is amongst the missing at Gallipoli. It will be remembered that their eldest son, William, was killed at the front some months ago. We trust that later news will soon be received that Eric has been found and is again in the ranks. *** WE have received a copy of the 44th annual report of the Young Mens’ Christian Association of Melbourne for the year ending 30th June last. It is very nicely got up in pamphlet form, with photos and views of their vari-

Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of cattle, sheep and sundries to dispose of. The sale will commence at half past twelve o’clock. *** A PUBLIC meeting is called for Monday evening next by Mr G.Griffeth, president of the shire, in the Fruitgrowers’ Hall, Somerville, for the purpose of forming a branch of the Patriots’ League. Mr M. F. King, of Melbourne, will address the meeting. *** AT the recent examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Academy and Royal College of music the following pupils have passed:—Millie Dodd, primary division; Beatrice Andrews, elementary division, and Margaret Lander, higher division. *** IN future mails including letters, newspapers, packets and parcels for Expeditionary Forces will close at General Post Office, Melbourne, at 5 p.m. on day preceding despatch of mails. Letters from country districts must arrive at time stated to ensure despatch by outgoing mails. *** AFTER a delay of about 18 months owing to some of the parts having gone astray in transit, the work of mounting the cannon in Bay Street, Frankston, is being now proceeded with. It has long been an eyesore, lying in its dismounted state, which hap-

ous tents both in Victoria and Egypt. The book gives a short resume of the large amount of work carried out during the past year, more particularly at Broadmeadows (Victoria) and at the Egyptian Bases, in connection with the comfort of our Australian lads. A special contribution is asked to aid the association’s efforts during this time of war. *** LETTERS from the Front. (From Private Alex. Meldrum, of Somerville, now at Gallipoli) I suppose before you receive this letter you will have heard that I got slightly wounded at Gallipoli and hope that you do not run away with the idea that I am blown to pieces. I am one of the fortunate ones and only received slight injuries. It was last Thursday, 5th August, that we got notice to pack up our belongings and get ready to advance early next morning, so we started by sewing white patches on our shirts, one on the back and one on each sleeve, as we had to attack in our shirt sleeves. Our bundles were thrown into big heaps on the edge of the cliff and we were then issued with our iron rations. Then came our first disappointment — we were not to attack till Saturday morning — so we sat in our trenches all night and shivered. I can’t say we slept, at any rate, I didn’t. We waited till 4.30 in the evening when things got moving on our right and we gained three lines of trenches, as the Turks just simply took to their heels. This put us in great jumps. In the meantime the warships had moved

up the bay and started shelling the trenches in our direct front at 8 o’clock in the evening. At midnight our warships started shelling these trenches and it was like hell let loose. Pieces of shell were hitting all round us and I didn’t think there would be a Turk left alive in those trenches, but that is where we got a shock. At 4 in the morning, just breaking day, our red light signal flashed to stop the bombardment. In an instant we were out of our trenches and off dashed the first line. I was in the second, about ten yards in their rear. The last shell had scarcely exploded then, and before we had covered half the distance we met a wall of lead from machine guns, rifles and bombs. It was simply hell itself and the men of our first line dropped and dropped until by the time the trench was reached you could count the survivors on your fingers. At this time my line was about half way and had lost heavily, so we pulled ourselves together and rushed forward. I had only gone about five yards when I felt a bullet go through my hat and it knocked me out. I seemed to lie there for a terrible long time, but it could not have been many seconds. I put my hand to my head and could feel the blood running, but the bullet had just ploughed along the bone, and I soon felt alright. I could hear our chaps cheering as they charged, so I jumped up and went on again. I got within ten yards of the trench when another bullet struck me over the right eye and I again fell. At

this time there didn’t seem to be any of our chaps left. Another bullet went through my boot just nicking a piece out of my heel. I was also bleeding at the shoulder, so I left my rifle and crawled back, as we had got the order to retire. The wound in my shoulder was caused by a bit of casing. I had it taken out, but have no idea when I got it. I think I was very lucky to get out of it so easy as the bullets were thick and close enough to make things unpleasant. We lost a terrible lot of men. I do not know the exact figures, but about 10 per cent, of the 8th are all that escaped. 470 of us started, but there are only 53 left. It is hard to describe what a charge is like, such as ours, and just as hard to imagine. It was awful to see our chaps lying round. I won’t try and tell you about it as I wish to forget a lot of it myself. We struck a hail of petrol bombs which exploded all round us and burnt up everything that was near. I only hope we will have a chance of getting some of our own back before long as we have been very unlucky since we have been here. O well I am a bit tired, so must ring off, hoping all are well at home, and do not worry over my few scratches as will soon be alright. *** DANDENONG Market report: A fair yarding of all classes of cattle forward, and an improvement in prices all round.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom By Stuart McCullough IMAGINE this: aliens land and take you hostage. Spirited away to their spacecraft, you are then dragged to meet their leader; a vile green beast with a glistening fang and one gigantic blinking eye, and are told that you must sum up all the achievements of Western Civilization in a single word or you will either be vapourised by their laser or, worse, forced to become a contestant on Family Feud. Under these heightened circumstances, what word do you choose to try and save your skin? Something naff like ‘hope’ or stomach-churningly turgid as ‘love’? There’s no way an alien leader is going to swallow that. The answer is simple. The word that best describes all of Western Civilization is as follows: Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom. So begins and ends ‘Tutti Frutti’. For those unfamiliar with it, ‘Tutti Frutti’ is not merely a record by Richard Wayne Penniman (better known as ‘Little Richard’). It’s Christmas, all your good birthdays and that time you managed to merge onto the Kings Way off-ramp without someone threatening to careen into your back bumper, all rolled into two and half mind-blowing minutes. Forget the Vostock 1 and the Mercury-Redstone 3; ‘Tutti Frutti’ is when human kind truly left this planet. It is an achievement that remains without equal. The Renaissance and its glut of cultural polymaths like Leonardo Da Vinci and other assorted clever clogs are but dunces. Little Richard is a ge-

nius without equal. While it’s fair to say that any one individual did not invent rock and roll, Little Richard deserves a fair chunk of the credit. This was the song that changed everything. He was fond as describing himself as the architect of rock and roll, but I don’t think that’s going far enough. For me, Little Rich-

ard is not only the architect but the plumber, the electrician and the dude that puts the blinds up also. That the song exists at all is a miracle. Little Richard was born in Macon, Georgia in 1932. In many ways, his upbringing exemplifies the tension between the spirit and the flesh that underpins the very best rock and roll. His

father was a deacon at the local church who also sold bootlegged moonshine liquor and ran a nightclub. As a child, Little Richard loved to sing in the church choir, but even then his voice was extremely dominant and he had a tendency to overpower the other singers, earning him the nickname ‘War Hawk’. Leaving home at sixteen, Little Richard travelled with various touring shows and, at one point, even worked as a drag performer. He started making records in the early fifties, but no one noticed. In early 1955, he dropped in a two-song demo to Specialty Records. Early sessions failed to yield a hit. It was only after the producer, ‘Bumps’ Blackwell saw Little Richard perform at the Dew Drop Inn and heard ‘Tutti Frutti’ that things turned around. But there was a problem: the song had been improvised in performances on the chitlin’ circuit and its lyrics were risqué even by today’s standards, much less those in the mid-fifties. A songwriter, Dorothy LaBostrie, was brought in to tone down the innuendo and the song was recorded in just three takes in September before being unleashed on an unsuspecting public in November. The world would never be the same again. Oddly, Pat Boone recorded a version of Tutti Frutti a short time later and both versions were on the American charts at once, with Pat peaking at number 12, and Little Richard at 17. Little Richard later claimed that white kids preferred his version, but had the Pat Boone rendition on hand to mollify their parents.

In 1955, the charts were dominated by songs like ‘Sixteen Tons’ by Tennessee Ernie Ford and ‘Mr. Sandman’ by The Chordettes. The former was a song about coal mining; the latter was subsequently re-written and vastly improved by Metallica. Into this polite world, Little Richard arrived. From the first instant, it sounds like nothing else with an acapella introduction that is unintelligible and yet makes perfect sense. The word ‘Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom’ imitates a drum pattern. The band goes like the clappers from the get go. The whole thing is nothing short of anarchy. Music no longer needed to be pleasing to the ear or in any way sweet. Rather, it had permission to be terrifying. Songs like Tutti Frutti were regarded as a threat to society back in 1955. You can’t say that about One Direction. Or, if you can, then not for the same reasons. This year is its sixtieth anniversary. You’d think a recording that old would sound frail or tame. Polite even. But listening to it now, it still sounds immensely powerful. It makes pretty anything you might hear on the radio sound lame and half asleep – the voice all but threatens to tear through the speakers at any moment. Death metal sounds like an afternoon nap in comparison. Aliens would, of course, be either highly intimidated or deeply impressed. Either way, they’d soon let you go on your way, saying only ‘Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom’ as their farewell. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Ultimate prize: Frankston YCW capped off a fantastic season by seeing off Mornington 18.15 (123) to 5.6 (36) in Sunday’s Peninsula League Grand Final. Picture: Gary Bradshaw

Stonecats are Premiers PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW capped off a wonderful season by winning the Peninsula League premiership by a whopping 87 points over Mornington on Sunday. The Stonecats have been by far the best side in the competition this season, having had a 77-point average winning margin this season. On Sunday at the Kars St Oval, the Stonecats dominated to win 18.15 (123) to 5.6 (36). Frankston YCW’s previous two encounters against Mornington saw them win by 10 goals and almost 15 goals. On Sunday, it was much of the same. The Stonecats were prepared, disciplined, clinical and professional, a trademark that has been with this clubs since the years of Josh Kendall, Paul Theobald, Joey Lane and Mark Berenger.

It graduated through the ‘Bugsy’ Barry years and is now front and centre in the current coach Scott Mathers. Mathers worked his way through the Under 18’s, like Buggsy, and has now coached back-to-back flags. Mathers has ensured that this group stays hungry and professional. When the final siren sounded on Sunday, players swarmed to tough midfielder Luke Collins, who was under a pack all day clearing the ball out to runners. Collins had lost his father the night before the game – the passion for a teammate was testament to the YCW Football Club. From the first bounce, there was a commitment to the cause from the Stonecats – they were first to the footy, relentless in their pressure and disciplined to their structures. While Mornington was able to withstand the pressure in the first quarter, they just couldn’t maintain it.

The juggernaut put them to the sword in the second quarter and the game was over at half time, 11.9 (75) to 1.2 (8). The Stonecats won the clearances, 33 to 29, such was the battle between Ash Eames and Michael Gay. Eames won the duel. The Stonecats dominated the inside 50s, 55 to 38. Mornington’s entries were more a kick and hope arrangement. Tony Lester was judged the RPP Best on Ground, voted by former Langwarrin premiership coach Gavin Artico, Jason Chapple, yours truly and Michael Voss. Jack Mazurek was given the VCFL medal for best on ground – he was super also. The Stonecats were superb. League medal winner Kyle Hutchison booted four goals, along with Lew Roberts. Jesse Coghlan was superb on Jack-

son Calder, Kevin Lylak, Byron Barry and Anthony Barry dominated in the back half. Ryan Santon and Brenton Credlin are two of the most outstanding youngsters in the competition and they were superb in the Grand Final. Scott McLeod was brilliant when the game needed to be won in the first half with 12 possessions in the opening hour and Jai Coghlan was one of the best five players on the ground. Talk about leadership, Coghlan had it in spades. Ben Tellis is a star. If you’re contemplating retirement legend, forget about it. He kicked two goals and had more than 15 possessions. David Bodley (two goals), Paul Minchington (two goals), Brad Ulms and Anthony Bruhn (one goal) all looked dangerous when the ball went inside. Daniel Waddell, despite all the years he has been at YCW (with a Dromana flag in between), finally won his first

senior flag with the Stonecats. Knee injuries cost him in the past. Craig Nankervis was simply brilliant. His work rate, along with Collingwood VFL player and local boy Lachy Wallace (23 possessions), were instrumental in the win. It was a tough day for the Dogs. Danny and Dale Nolan could hold their heads high after the game, along with Adam Symes, who is as tough as a cat’s head. Jai Haddock was tireless, tough and relentless and Ryan O’Dell was superb. The Dogs can build their club around these two blokes. The season belonged to the Frankston YCW. They were a pleasure to watch, on every occasion. Congratulations needs to go to club president Gerry Wintle and his team – what a well-run, professional club that just oozes success. Well done, Frankston YCW Football Club.

Bulls land ‘three-timer’ Poholke FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt KARINGAL Football Club has landed the biggest blow in off-season recruiting, landing three-time Sorrento premiership forward Leigh Poholke. Yours truly broke the exclusive story on the RPP Footy Show and Toe Punt Facebook Page on Saturday morning. The 2014 Nepean League MVP and Team of the Year player has gone to the Bulls to “personally challenge” himself. Poholke said he had been fortunate in his career to be at a “great club” and one that has enjoyed a lot of success. However, Poholke said it was time for a change. “I want to challenge myself. I think that I can bring the experience I have gained from being in a successful club and help out the Karingal Football Club. “I have always heard great things about Karingal and people I spoke to before I made my decision were very positive about the way the club is managed. “For me, I’m young, the club has a great group of kids coming through and there’s plenty of irons in the fire for further recruits.” Poholke conceded that he had been offered a lot of money to coach in the Alberton League, reportedly $30,000 a year but wanted to stay closer to home to run his personal landscape gardening business.

Fevola to play at Bombers Former Carlton and Brisbane Lions full forward Brendan Fevola will line up

for Frankston Bombers in Round 1 next season. The Bombers will tackle Pearcedale in the opening round of the Nepean League 2016 season, on Good Friday. In further exciting news, Bombers are expected to confirm this week that the game will be played at the home of Frankston Dolphins at Kars St. Coach Beau Muston said it was an exciting get for the club. “We’ve been working pretty hard in the past 12 months to change the perceptions of the club,” Muston said. “This means that we need to start doing things a bit differently and become more relevant in the competition. “Having Brendan for one game is an investment but we’re sure that on Good Friday, there’ll be plenty of people who want to come to Kars St to watch the opening round and ‘Fev’ running around.

Jewell not signed

Despite rumours to the contrary since round six of the Nepean League season, Rosebud premiership coach Nick Jewell said there was nothing to ‘officially’ announce at Sorrento. “I know what the rumours are but there is nothing official at this stage,” Jewell said. However, Nick was informed by Leigh Poholke on Thursday night that he wasn’t playing football at Sorrento next season. “I was at cricket training and when I came out there were three missed calls from Leigh. At that stage I thought to myself, this can’t be good news,” Nick said.

If Jewell hadn’t signed at Sorrento, one wonders why it would be bad news that Poholke has signed at Sorrento. In further news from Nick, he said there was no truth to the rumour that Leigh Treeby was in the running for the Rosebud job.

Stratton unhappy New Crib Point coach Taylor Stratton was unhappy to read the paper last week, claiming he had been recruiting teammates as far back as Round 15 to join him at Crib Point. “I wasn’t even coach of Crib Point in Round 15 – so I’m not sure where that came from,” Stratton said. “If players want to join me at Crib, then fantastic, however, it’s not my intention to go through every player on the Hastings list and try and get them across. “My brother Kain will join me but at this stage I think that will be it. If we can get everyone on the track at the start of pre-season training, I have no doubt we’ll be right up there again next season.

Hamish to Pines Pines are hopeful that they can land former North Melbourne and Geelong ruckman Hamish McIntosh. The stumbling block at present appears to be the asking price, however, it is believed that he is very interested in joining his former teammate Aaron Edwards at the club.
