Hide and seek

THE bird hide at Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands has been refurbished and reopened thanks to a $20,000 federal government grant.

The Friends of the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands have been lobbying for the past few years to have the bird hide restored.

The bird hide is a two-story building that offers an excellent view of the wetlands to seek out wildlife.

It is located on the south side of Edithvale Rd and is open from 1-5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

It is manned by volunteers from the Friends of Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands.

Climate science still ‘in strife’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A COMMITMENT to climate science by incoming Industry, Innovation and Science Minister Greg Hunt has failed to ease union fears about jobs and research cuts at the CSIRO including climate change modelling reductions at laboratories in Aspendale.

Mr Hunt’s pledge last week to or-

der the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation to “renew its focus” on climate science - months after a global outcry from scientists when the Australian science body’s CEO Larry Marshall announced a move away from climate change research to concentrate make climate science “a bedrock function” – was seen as a backflip on previous Abbott government priorities.

Mr Hunt announced 15 more climate

science jobs at the CSIRO and an extra $3.7 million in funding per year.

CSIRO Staff Association secretary Sam Popovski says the Turnbull government “needs to do far more to maintain and rebuild CSIRO’s climate science capability”.

“The Turnbull government stood by for months claiming its hands were tied as CSIRO’s research capacity and international reputation suffered,” Mr Popovski said in a statement.

Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

“Massive community concern on this issue has forced the government to act but this is merely a band-aid solution to a major problem.

Some CSIRO staff based at Aspendale Gardens handed out flyers to Isaacs residents as part of a Community and Public Sector Union campaign urging voters to “put the Liberals last” before the 2 July federal election (‘Scientists target election’, The News 8/6/16).

“You don’t need to be a scientist to

realise that employing 15 climate researchers when you’re in the process of sacking more than 50 doesn’t add up. It’s not going to restore CSIRO’s research capacity or repair Australia’s global reputation,” Mr Popovski said.

“If Minister Hunt’s intentions to design a new CSIRO strategy are genuine and sincere, he should direct the organisation to halt all current job cuts.”

Olympic coach heads to Rio EDITHVALE running coach Sean Williams is trackside at the Rio Olympics cheering on two-time Olympian long-distance runner Ben St Lawrence.

Williams has coached the 10,000 metre runner in the gruelling 25-lap race for a decade and will be cheering from the stands when St Lawrence takes to the track on Saturday (13 August).

His former students include 3000m steeplechase Olympian Victoria Mitchell and 800m runner Selma Kajan.

Williams moved to Edithvale from Sydney earlier this year and has been impressed by training facilities in Kingston.

“There are over 30km of beautifully groomed, natural trails in the area that are absolutely perfect for runners of all levels to train on,” Williams said.

“They wind along the ocean front, pass waterways such as Mordialloc Creek and Patterson River and cut through the pristine wetlands. One cannot help but be inspired when training in such amazing surrounds.”

Williams has launched a running coaching business in the area and has recently set up running training groups in Edithvale for recreational runners and a separate group for juniors.

But despite his vast experience, Williams knows there is always more to learn so has signed up for the Kingston and Glen Eira Mentor Partners Program.

The free confidential service taps into the expertise and experience of volunteer business mentors who generously give their time to help local business owners to succeed.

Williams has been partnered with accredited mentor David Lennon who has launched eight start-ups and turned them into industry leaders.

Spreading word on ovarian cancer danger OVARIAN and gynaecological cancers can be tough to talk about and tackle but Karen Livingstone hopes more lives can be saved by bringing the subject out into the open.

The 50-year-old Mentone resident is the CEO of Ovarian Cancer Australia, a cancer charity focused on raising awareness of gynaecological cancers and funding medical research, and co-founded the organisation with sister Nicole Livingstone, the former Olympics swimmer and now TV and radio sports presenter.

Karen’s leadership in improving outcomes for women diagnosed with gynaecological cancers was recognised this month with the award of this year’s Jeannie Ferris Cancer Australia Recognition Award.

The award is named in honour of the late Jeannie Ferris, Senator for South Australia, who was committed to raising awareness about gynaecological cancers. Senator Ferris was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in October 2005 and passed away in April 2007.

The Livingstone sisters know the pain losing loved ones to cancer causes. Their mother, Elsie, died in 2001 of ovarian cancer. Karen’s husband, Dave Grant, died of pancreatic cancer when aged 52 in 2010.

“What I’ve tried to do is create better information for people who are undertaking the journey,” Karen said.

“Survival rates need to be improved and that’s why I’m interested in research and sit on the board of the Australian New Zealand Gynaecologi-

cal Oncology Group which is about improving clinical outcome for patients who are undertaking chemotherapy.”

Taking advantage of improving technologies is important to increase gynaecological cancer survival rates.

Early symptoms can be difficult to notice for many women.

“Each cancer has a different signal and signal. Ovarian cancer signs can include feeling bloated in the abdomen, feeling full and unable to eat or frequent urination,” she said.

“Women being busy as they are and being the centre of mothering in the family they usually put themselves last on the agenda … but it is important they get checked out.”

Karen and Nicole have both been diagnosed with a gene making them more susceptible to ovarian cancer so they will have their fallopian tubes and ovaries removed when they enter menopause amid increased surveillance in the meantime.

“My mother asked for some blood to be put away, that blood was tested and they did find there was a gene in the blood.

“Familial cancers can be an indication to seek early diagnosis.”

See Ovarian Cancer Australia’s website at ovariancancer.net.au for further information about possible symptoms.

Focus on addiction

Ambassador award: Karen Livingstone awarded the Jeannie Ferris Cancer Australia Recognition Award for raising awareness of gynaecological cancers.

PATTERSON Lakes’ rehabilitation clinic Bayside Private will be hosting a series of drug and alcohol information sessions at retirement villages in coming weeks.

The next seminar, on Monday 15 August, is being held at the Patterson Lakes Retirement Village. Those attending will learn how to identify addiction problems, learn what addiction is and how it affects their families and friends.

“We aim to educate people to help them identify if their son, daughter or grandchild may be affected by drugs,” Alcohol and Other Drugs counsellor at Bayside Private Sam Jeyaseelan said.

“If people know the signs to look out for then they are more likely to take the initiative to seek help for their loved ones or themselves.”

Bayside Private helps rehabilitate clients from all different backgrounds and age groups – evidence that addiction does not discriminate.

“People don’t always know where to turn in a crisis,” Mr Jeyaseelan said.

“We want to provide seniors with education and support, so they know where to come if they need help for either themselves or a family member.”

Bayside Private provides outpatient and inpatient addiction treatment programs, as well as short courses for seniors.

Programs include learning about addiction, group and individual counselling, yoga, cooking and fitness sessions.

The facility also offers free, quality lifetime aftercare.

For more information, or to book a free drug and alcohol addiction information session for a club, facility or workplace, see baysideprivate.com.au or call 1300 855 976.

Operation Sponge helps nature Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A CHANCE encounter between a group of scuba divers and a yacht club operations manager may have ecological benefits for Port Phillip Bay’s marine life.

Dive2U’s Nicole Morton, a Carrum Downs based company which does dive training, marine science education and scientific diving and support, was taking a filmmaker from Old Pal Productions out to see the world famous spider crabs near Blairgowrie pier.

“We got chatting with the yacht squadron’s operations manager, David Opie, better known as ‘Soapy’, who told us that the north-south trending wave wall had been destroyed by teredo navalis – or shipworm – and was no longer protecting the marina which had to be replaced,” Ms Morton said.

“We were shocked to hear this news as Blairgowrie pier is a hot spot and important habitat for marine life.

“As well as the yearly spider crab migration and frequent whale sightings, the pier is home to critters like banjo sharks, octopus, cuttlefish, and nudibranchs – and the wave wall is no exception. It is covered in sponge and ascidian life, is an important marine habitat and a photographers’ dream.”

Ms Morton said members of the group “started racking our brains, trying to come up with ideas to save the marine life that call the wall home”.

An artificial reef perhaps? “That night I couldn’t sleep,” she said. “There had to be a way.

“At 4.30am, the night before heading down to the squadron to talk about the wall, it came to me,” she said. “Couldn’t we just cut the sponges and ascidians off the old wall and glue

them to the new wall as it is being replaced?

“It turns out the answer is ‘yes’,” she said.

The group pitched the idea to the squadron and Aegir Divers – the commercial divers undertaking the replacement work – and mapped out a plan of attack.

“We would work on weekends to clear 15 metres of wall the divers were set to replace,

and then stick the sponges and ascidians to the wall that had already been replaced,” Ms Morton said.

“We jumped – literally – straight in to start trying some adhesive products and work out our methodology.”

The group quickly worked out that the project was “very big” with more than 300 square

metres of wave wall being replaced.

“If we relocate at the density of our feasibility study (10 sponges or ascidians per individual plank) that equates to more than 5500 individual sponges and ascidians,” Ms Morton said. “As far as we’re aware, this is the world’s largest relocation effort of its type.

“The wonderful thing about this project, and I’ll quote Kade Mills from VNPA’s ReefWatch, is that ‘there are no bad guys in this project’.

And it’s true. More often than not, these projects follow a David-and-Goliath-story plot.

But this time it hasn’t. The community has really come together to back it.”

Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron and Ægir Divers are backing the project, Ms Morton said, while Aqua Blue, which distributes an adhesive being trialled, is donating glue to get it started.

Also, Aussie Erosion, which distributes natural fibre products, will supply netting, and VSAG, Australia’s oldest dive club, has invited Dive2U to talk about the project –and even ran a raffle to help raise funds.

All this is occurred inside two weeks of making the project public.

“It has turned into more than just relocating sponges and ascidians under Blairgowrie pier,” Ms Morton said. “It is a wonderful example of the community coming together and supporting one another.

“More often than not these projects only occur out of necessity – or if someone stands to make a profit. But Operation Sponge is creating a paradigm shift in this mentality.

“The project is gaining national attention and support. People are already starting to envisage how they could implement this sort out project in their local waters.”

The results will, hopefully, help more projects like this gain traction.

Games of life at camp for kids SOMETIMES it can feel like support, trust and friendship are in short supply thanks to the frantic pace of modern life but a three-day camp for Kingston area year 9 school students provides a time out to forge important relationships and build confidence.

Camp Awakenings, hosted by the Rotary Club of Chelsea with the support of the Aspendale GardensEdithvale community branch of Bendigo Bank, aims to physically, mentally and emotionally challenge participants in a supportive way to teach practical life skills to tackle the challenges facing today’s youth.

Level crossings OPTIONS to separate road from rail at eight level crossings from Cheltenham to Frankston will be revealed by the Level Crossing Removal Authority soon.

The state government body has been tasked with looking at engineering ways to remove crossings along the Frankston line amid protest groups’ opposition to elevated rail, also known as sky rail.

LXRA project director Adam Maguire said: “We have been undertaking preliminary technical investigations including noise and traffic modelling and community consultation over the past few months and we will shortly be providing details of the outcomes of that consultation as well as presenting options for the eight sites to each local community along the

The annual camp was first held in 2001 and is hosted by Rotary at Camp Manyung in Mt Eliza.

Teamwork is encouraged in tackling obstacle courses, mental challenges and friendly competition between colour-coded groups.

This year’s camp held last month featured two new activities: the tree top challenge and the crate climb where teams built a high tower of milk crates while standing on top of the growing tower.

The camp is a life-changing experience for many participants.

Comments from former camp attendees include: “Camp was an

amazing experience, I met so many amazing people, and it changed my outlook on life” and “I don’t really know where I’d be without this camp. Even though it was only over a few days, I learnt how to change and fix my thinking to more positive ways, I made some really good friends (who have actually now helped me make a wide circle of friends) and have the confidence to be myself and try new things a lot more.”

In the first instance on 28 July a woman living in Carder Av died in what police said were “non-suspicious circumstances”.

A TV news report that night described her death as “mysterious”.

In the second instance a woman died the day after crashing into two parked cars and a fence in Carder Av, late on Tuesday 2 August.

Police said the woman driving a Toyota lost control and crashed, 9.30pm.

The 26-year-old was taken to

The woman, of Wandong, was taken back to a Carder Av house and “left in the care of another person”.

She was found dead at 9am.

Sergeant David Collins, of Mornington Peninsula Highway Patrol, said the woman had refused medical assistance at the scene and declined hospital treatment. He said she did not appear to be suffering any significant injuries.

Rubbish protection all bay round MORE than 100 young marine ambassadors saw – and smelled – tonnes of pollution emptied from a Carrum Downs gross pollution trap on Tuesday (9 August).

The trap stops stormwater pollutants washed from streets reaching Port Phillip.

The sightseeing and smell smelling experience was part of the Dolphin Research Institute’s ‘i sea, i care’ school ambassador program. Ambassadors are trained by peer educators who go back to schools and share what they have learned.

Pupils are taught ways to reduce pollutants entering drains and threatening Port Phillip’s marine life and fauna.

“The institute is concerned about the link between water quality in the bay and the health of our dolphins,” DRI executive director Jeff Weir said.

“If it’s not safe for us to swim in our bay after rain, then it’s also not safe for our dolphins either.

We need to do much better.”

Cleaning out pollution traps costs taxpayers and ratepayers a lot of money via state government and council programs but Mr Weir says there would be a bigger cost to the environment if the traps were not in place.

The Banyan Reserve wetlands in Carrum Downs is a world-class example of how to deal with stormwater pollution. Litter traps capture the large pieces of pollution, ponds let sediment settle and plant life take up many of the soluble pollutants.

“Treatment systems help, when they are present, but the best solution is to stop things getting into drains in the first place,” Mr Weir said.

See dolphinresearch.org.au for further details of stormwater traps around the bay.

What a dump: Pupils from schools, including Mentone Grammar, above right, witness rubbish being pulled from a stormwater drain at Carrum Downs while an eel, far right, trapped in the dragnet is returned to the dam.

Call for reversal of CSIRO fortunes the CSIRO and guarantee that the CSIRO research centre in Aspendale will not be closed under its watch.”

A spokesman for Mr Hunt, John O’Doherty, said “the government’s support for the CSIRO is significant”.

“We are committed to growing this funding. We are providing $1.35 billion to the CSIRO this year and this will increase to $1.46 billion by 2019-20.

“CSIRO staffing levels are on track to increase from 5078 in 2016-17 to 5335 by 2019-20.

“In addition to this investment, the CSIRO has committed to continuing climate science at Aspendale, with a

commitment to operate the site to at least 2023 on a fully-funded basis.

“The government has made it clear that climate science is a priority.”

Mr Popovski says the union will write to CSIRO chief executive Larry Marshall to demand planned redundancies are halted.

“We stand ready to seek an urgent injunction in the Fair Work Commission if CSIRO management fails to do so.”

Palm tree taken for a ride

A DETERMINED burglar – possibly with green thumbs – stole a 10-metre palm tree from the front yard of a property in Aspendale last week.

Its owner was said to be “staggered” by the brazen theft, which occurred overnight Wednesday 3 August in Station St. He told police there must have been “significant activity” in the street while the tree was being removed because of its size and weight.

Sergeant Leo Russo, of Kingston police, said heavy lifting equipment would have been needed to remove the $4000 tree.

The front fence of the property, which is under construction, was damaged to gain access and truck tyre marks were visible on the roadway.

Machete on bike

A MAN was found with a machete strapped to his bicycle outside Mentone railway station, Saturday night 6 August.

Protective services officers saw the weapon in a case taped to the bike’s frame. They also discovered the owner, of Mentone, was wanted

on four outstanding warrants.

Police took the 27-year-old to Moorabbin police station and charged him with possessing a prohibited weapon. He was bailed to appear at Kingston Magistrates’ Court in October.

Knives found A FATHER-and-son, of Werribee, were found with knives – including a flick knife – in Patterson Lakes last week.

Police intercepted the pair on Wednesday 3 August while they were driving an unregistered car in Gladesville Blvd. The father, who was wanted on two outstanding warrants, had three knives in the car which were seized. The son, 16, was found with a flick knife which was also seized.

The pair was taken back to Chelsea police station where penalty notices were issued for driving an unregistered car and possessing controlled weapons.

The son was given a caution for possessing a prohibited weapon.

Court over car theft

A CLASSIC Holden car stolen from Southland Shopping Centre while the owner was shopping, 10.30am, 25 July, was found soon after by Kingston detectives at a property in Cheltenham.

Three offenders arrested. A 20-year-old Cheltenham woman was charged with theft of a motor car, drug-and-weapon possession and dishonesty offences and bailed to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court, 5 October.

A 21-year-old Oakleigh South man will appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court, 2 September, charged with theft of a motor car, and a 26-year-old Parkdale man will be charged on summons with the same offence.

Fake note

POLICE urge residents and shopkeepers to be careful after a fake $50 note was used to buy a gas cylinder at Chelsea Heights last week.

A man bought the $20.95 cylinder from the Wells Rd Mitre 10 store, Tuesday 2 August, and handed over the note. CCTV footage is be assessed.

Police say it is not known if the man knew the note was counterfeit. It was said to be a “reasonable copy” of the real thing.

Church violated

EDITHVALE Uniting Church was burgled, overnight Friday 5 August, in what was said to be the first robbery at the Clydebank Rd premises in the past 40 years.

Police said the offenders used a screw driver to jemmy open a fire exit door and enter the sacristy behind the altar. They rummaged through drawers leaving items on the floor and threw glasses at a wall. It is not known what was stolen.

Studio hit

THIEVES forced open the front door of a dance studio in Chelsea Heights last week and stole two boom boxes, new flat screen TV, iPad mini and petty cash, valued at $1900.

The Wells Rd studio had only been open two weeks when the front door was jemmied late on Thursday 4 August. Police are examining CCTV footage from a neighbouring business.

Spinning into trouble A WOMAN lost control as her car spun more than 360 degrees and slammed sideways into a truck at Patterson Lakes, Monday 1 August.

The truck was parked on the path leading up to the Thompson Rd bridge and workers were standing at the front ready to work on the steel barriers when the accident occurred, 10am.

The truck’s tray made a “significant intrusion” into the body of the car, putting the woman, in her early 30s, in danger, SES incident controller Philip Holt said.

SES crews moved the truck forward and used the jaws-of-life to cut her free. She was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Police, Patterson River CFA, Ambulance and Frankston SES crews attended the scene, made more dangerous by heavy rain.

All in: SES crews use the jaws-of-life to free the female driver from a damaged car on Thompson Rd. Wet weather and bald tyres may have contributed to the accident. Picture: Gary Sissons

All ears for Hearing Awareness Week ONE in six Australians is affected by hearing loss – that’s an estimated 3.5 million people.

In addition to this one in three adults over 40 years will experience some form of vestibular (dizziness or balance) problem.

Much needs to be done to address the level of un-managed hearing loss and balance issues in the community. There are many people in who have not been diagnosed and sometimes their hearing loss is confused with dementia or other health problems.

Hearing Awareness Week starts on Sunday April 21 and aims to highlight the issues faced by people with hearing loss and balance problems. Chelsea’s local audiologists Cathryn Williams and Jessica Blakeley are encouraging people to take the

opportunity for a free hearing and balance screening.

“One of the main consequences of hearing loss is a reduced capacity to communicate, and this is often first noticed by close family and friends” said Cathryn Chelsea Hearing and Ears in Balance will be holding an open day on Wednesday, August 24. Adults can have a free hearing and balance screening. You can also talk to an audiologist, and have your questions about hearing and balance answered.

If you would like to book a free hearing and balance screening please call reception on 8740 2135. A screening takes 5-10 minutes to complete, and there is no charge for adults.

NEWS DESK Crime spree shuts down college A FRANKSTON man was allegedly involved in a crime spree over five suburbs on Thursday which forced Wantirna College into lock-down.

He is among four people charged by Eastern Region Crime Squad detectives following alleged offences at Mitcham, Blackburn, Park Orchards, Officer and Clayton.

Operation Cosmas detectives allege three victims were robbed in Arnott St, Clayton, about 12.20am. A Ford sedan was later allegedly stolen from a house in Fairwood Rise, Officer, during an alleged aggravated burglary, 6.30am.

Police allege the offenders committed aggravated burglaries at Alva Av, Park Orchards, 7.55am, and Almondsbury Ct, Blackburn, 9.50am. The men are alleged to have committed another burglary at Creek Rd, Mitcham, 9am.

Box Hill Embona detectives arrested three 18-year-olds, one from Frankston and the others from Pakenham and Dandenong North, and a Springvale South boy, 16, on Thursday afternoon.

Detective Acting Sergeant Warren Atkinson, of Box Hill Embona, said they appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday and were further remanded to appear at a later date, on charges of kidnapping, aggravated burglary, false imprisonment, robbery and other offences.

A 16-year-old Springvale South boy has been further remanded to appear at a children’s court at a later date on the same charges. Police say they have escalated their response to aggravated burglaries and carjackings across the state through Operation Cosmas.

Since the operation began there have been more than 120 arrests.

Stephen Taylor

29 ‘campaign’ dogs seized at last TWENTY nine dogs have been seized from a property owner at Blind Bight for contravening a local law that limits the number of animals allowed to be kept without a permit.

Troy Scoble was found guilty at the Dandenong Magistrates Court in late June, of keeping too many animals on his property and failing to meet basic registration requirements.

“Council is in regular contact with the owner of the dogs, who are being vet-checked and will be cared for until a decision on their future is made,” Casey mayor Cr Sam Aziz said.

“Council acted as swiftly as it could within the bounds of the law and in the best interests of the dogs.

Dogs being kept at the property featured as part of the 2 July federal election campaign of Animal Justice Party candidate for Flinders, Ben Wild, who attracted 4.2 per cent of votes. The seat was retained by Liberal Greg Hunt (51.6 per cent of votes).

Mr Wild distributed images of dogs chained to kennels to illustrate the need for a federal office of animal welfare.

He said the department should stand apart from the agriculture department and be in a position to strengthen the powers of animal welfare organisations, including the RSPCA. ”This case began in February this year when Oscar’s Law broke the news of up to 40 dogs being held on small chains, in muddy bushland out the back of Mr Scoble’s property in Blind Bight,” Mr Wild said last week.

“Since this time there have been a number of campaigns to save the dogs,

Unchained: Vets are checking the health of unregistered dogs being kept on a property at Blind Bight after they were seized by Casey Council. Picture: Oscars Law

with police, the RSPCA and the council visiting the property on numerous occasions.

“In the end it was a council by-law that eventually got these dogs out of there.”

Mr Wild said that the seizure of the dogs was “truly a tremendous outcome … we are only part way there”.

During the election campaign Mr Wild had nearly 16,000 signatures on a petition asking for any level of govern-

ment to come to the aid of the dogs.

“After all the community outrage and concern, it was a simple council by-law regarding registration that saved these dogs. Once again this highlights the absolute gulf developing between community expectations regarding animal welfare and the actual laws that govern them,” he said.

“But it’s not over yet for these poor animals – with months of rehabilitation expected ahead.

“These dogs have endured both physical and psychological trauma over this last year and will take some serious rehabilitation before they can be re-homed.

“But in the end this is exactly what we have hooped for since the plight was brought to our attention.”

Mr Wild said he was grateful that the City of Casey had had “the foresight to develop stronger by-laws on animal”.

Birds of a feather A MAGPIE goose, above, teal duckling, right, and white-plumed honeyeater, far right, are just some of the many avian sights on show at the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands.

A refurbished bird hide at Edithvale Rd has been reopened on weekends for keen and first time bird watchers to have a look at the wetlands wildlife (see Page 1).

X MINUS TAKE OUT BATTLE OF THE BANDS Local Frankston band and teen sensations X MINUS took out the prestigious Frankston Freeza Fresh Start Battle of the Bands held at the Frankston Mechanics Hall on Saturday the 30th of July.

All members hail from the Frankston area with only Bailey the drummer out of the area from South Yarra.

Ben Gorman is the guitarist for X MINUS and he is modest about the bands early success “We are amazed and grateful for the comments we’ve been receiving. There were so many great bands on the night and we’re just happy we played tight on the night and the crowd and judges enjoyed our show!”

Check out the band on Facebook and a remember the name, these guys are going places.

GET READY FOR THE BOOTLEG BEATLES Direct from London, THE BOOTLEG BEATLES, the world’s first and finest homage to the Fab Four will be performing at the Frankston Arts Centre on Sunday September 4. Now in their 36th year, THE BOOTLEG BEATLES have performed over 5,000 shows worldwide.

Their stunning authenticity coupled with their musical credibility has seen them perform at some of the world’s best-known venues such as Wembley Stadium, the Royal Albert Hall, Knebworth, Glastonbury Festival and the Budokan Stadium in Tokyo, where The Beatles originally played. They also performed on “The Graham Norton Show” in London. The legendary English Record Producer/Arranger/Composer Sir George Martin, sometimes referred to as “the fifth Beatle”, said: “I enjoyed their act enormously”.

Formed for the West End cast of the long-running Broadway musical “Beatlemania”, THE BOOTLEG BEATLES are truly the world’s No.1 tribute band have shared the Concert with the likes of Rod Stewart, Elton John, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Seal, Simple Minds, Bon Jovi and they performed at Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee celebration at Buckingham Palace.

Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis asked them to be the support act for their record-breaking 1995 Earl’s Court Concerts, culminating with both bands sharing the stage for “I Am The Walrus”.

THE BOOTLEG BEATLES re-create with precision the hits and image with costumes reflecting The Beatles’ evolution, as well as from note to note using original instruments and with uncannily accurate vocals. Against a stunning video backdrop, they will be accompanied by a 9-piece orchestra, enabling them to faithfully re-create many of the songs The Beatles never played live on stage, such as “Eleanor Rigby”, “Penny Lane” and “All You

Need Is Love”.

THE BOOTLEG BEATLES are truly one of Britain’s most popular bands, with fans of all ages across the globe greeting their note-perfect performance with scenese of Beatle-like hysteria. The concert will feature renditions of the greatest songs from the entire Beatles catalogue. They faithfully re-create many of the hits the Beatles never performed live.

All Beatles fanatics since childhood, THE BOOTLEG BEATLES consist of: n ADAM HASTINGS (John Lennon) - Guitar, Vocals, Keyboards n STEVE WHITE (Paul McCartney) - Bass, Vocals n STEPHEN HILL (George Harrison) - Guitar, Vocals n HUGH DEGENHARDT (Ringo Starr) - Drums, Vocals Tickets available from Frankston Arts Centre phone 9784 1051

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Wounded soldiers entertained in Frankston

Sunday 6 November 2016

September 4th

PAGE 14

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 10 August 2016

Compiled by Melissa Walsh FRANKSTON was privileged to be chosen once more for an afternoon’s outing for returned wounded and sick soldiers, on Wednesday last, and the lads evidently enjoyed the fun and the efforts made to entertain them.

A wire was received Monday afternoon by the secretary of the “Wattles” Club (Miss Gray) asking if it would be possible to entertain 150 overseas soldiers, who were to arrive in Melbourne on Tuesday morning.

So there was no time to be lost before making preparations.

However, no difficulty whatever was experienced in providing the boys with the very best Frankston could produce.

The Wattles Club members and committee worked as only they can work. They have been tested on more than one occasion, and never been found wanting praise or self glory, but just that our own lads who are so fortunate to come back to us, will not altogether regret the stern sacrifices they have made.

The appreciation of the boys, so keenly felt, and so hard to express, in words, but in the sudden brightness of a grimly sad face soon sends our best efforts into nothingness.

The soldiers, who were to continue their journey on Thursday, to Sydney and Queensland, had fought on the Western Front and expressed the opinion that Turk fighting is far before fighting the German, where every device conceivable is used to gain their own evil ends.

The Royal Park Band accompanied the soldiers, and enlivened things considerably.

Miss Gray sang “Sunshine of your smile” very sweetly and Miss McLean was equally successful in her recitation. Three ringing, hearty, Australian cheers were given by the boys before leaving on the return journey to Melbourne. *** SEVERAL letters and other interesting matters are unavoidably held over till next issue. *** James Center the champion piper of the Commonwealth and Miss Dulcie Bland, the unbeaten South Street performer, will appear for the first time in Frankston, at the Scotch concert arranged by Mr.H. Skinner. *** IN view of the coming referendum on the hour of closing liquor bars, Rev E. Tonkin will conduct a special Temperance service in the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday evening next at 7 p.m. Members of the I.O.R. and W.C.T. U. will be present. *** NEXT Sunday Aug 13th Mr L. C. M Donaldson of Erskine Church, Carlton at presene acting secretary of the Y M.C.A. at Langwarrin Camp, will give one of his popular object lesson in the Mornington Junction Presbyterian Church at 3 p.m. A cordial invitation is issued to all to attend. *** LOVERS of the game of draughts are promised a treat at the Frankston Mechanics’ on Monday next, when Mr Egan an exponent of the game will play all corners. Last week he played at Mornington Junction and out of 23 games played he lost one and drew 5. Mr C. D. Roberts was the winner of the game Egan lost and also one of the drawn games. *** THE Somerville District Help Society have responded to an appeal recently made by the Matron of the Women’s Hospital Lygon St, Carlton for the maternity ward, a large box of beautiful warm cloths are being despatched this week and the hon sec (Mrs Geo Shepherd) wishes to tender her thanks to the members who so quickly and generously sent in their donations. ***

IT will be of interest to the poultry farmers of this district to know that Taylor and Brand were again successful at the Victorian Poultry and Kennel Club’s Show held in Melbourne last week.

They not only secured 1st prize for Farmer’s Trio with Plymouth Rocks in the utility hens in the open class against all breeds, and second prize for white leghorn cockerel.

The above mentioned hen being a white leghorn purchased from W. Aisbett ‘Lynwood Poultry Farm’ Langwarrin, who also possesses the father of the 2nd prize cockerel. *** THE fourth of a series of socials, in aid of the Mechanics’ Bazaar was held on Wednesday evening, in the Hall, and was one of the most successful yet held.

Mrs Rimmer, Misses Gregory, M. Gray and McLean were the hostesses on this occasion, and must be complimented on the complete arrangement of every detail, which was no easy matter, considering the large number of friends who took advantage of the invitation.

The “Turkey” competition proved to be most interesting and from this out, the said bird should be watched, and more closely studied before it is finally picked to pieces and disposed of.

The competition was won by Miss Young and Mr Oliver, who were rewarded with a large box of sweets, and box of cigarettes, respectively.

The lounge proved a favorite spot where cards were played throughout the evening, while those who wished, danced the happy hours away, in the main hall, to the accompaniment of splendid music supplied by Mrs Mason, Sergt. Moir, and Mr Cowan.

Sergt Moir, and Sergt Davis, added greatly to the evening’s enjoyment by their musical items on piano and cornet.

Other items were contributed by Mr Cowan and men from the Langwarrin Camp, all of which were very highly appreciated.

The Hall was tastefully decorated with gum and wattle. A good coffee supper proved a welcome item on a first class programme.

The ladies were rewarded for their trouble by splendid donations of money and sweets to stock the Australian Stall, which they represent, so the evening proved most satisfactory to entertainers and entertained alike. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 12 August, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Excelling at the art of being arty

By Stuart McCullough IT’S a shame. Almost none of the masterpieces I produced as a child have been preserved. This makes the odds of any kind of retrospective exhibition even less likely than would have been the case had they survived. Forget souvenir tea towels emblazoned with my early sketches of ‘Flash Gordon’ (who was, for a time, my muse) or a set of matching coasters featuring my various attempts to replicate the ‘Ghostbusters’ logo. You’ll just have to make do with imagining how awesome it would be to own your very own tote bag displaying these potent images. I could, I suppose, try and recreate these seminal pieces of artwork but, frankly, I haven’t drawn anything more than a conclusion in the past thirty years and I suspect I could be rusty.

I was not what you’d call ‘gifted’ when it came to the visual arts. Probably more ‘re-gifted’ and, most likely, I was a toaster or juicer that you never really wanted in the first place. For someone who was accustomed to excelling at school, art class was a terrific leveler. In fact, it cut me down to size so effectively that I found myself far shorter than I truly wished to be.

First chance I got, I ditched the class in favour of additional music theory.

This meant sitting in a classroom by myself for two hours a fortnight, left entirely to my own devices. It was an arrangement that was to the mutual satisfaction to both the art teacher and I. Now that I think about it, I ought to be outraged. It’s not my job to preserve every uneven drawing and febrile pottery effort. Aside from a chronic lack of

PAGE 16

Stuart McCullough Self portrait, age 44 Medium: pencil on notepad interest, there was also the pressing issue of not having enough room. When you’re in your twenties, you can’t very well move into a share house and then insist on dominating the fridge with finger-painting masterpieces you did when you were four. Your housemates wouldn’t understand. The very suggestion of such a stunt would see them

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 10 August 2016

return your bond and insist on getting another housemate. No, it’s the parents who carry the awesome responsibility that is curating the lives of their various progeny. In this respect, my parents have failed dismally.

When I visit, there’s no visible trace of any of my artistic output. I never

ask and they never say anything, but I am beginning to suspect that they are not all simply ‘on loan’ to galleries across the globe. Nor are they in storage or off being reframed. Rather, they have been discarded over time.

The only exception to this apparent rewriting of history is found in my father’s study. There on his desk is an empty soup can that is used as a pencil holder. The tin has been decorated with various pictures cut out from magazines that have been stuck to the object with a generous dose of Clag. It is an item from my early mixed-media collage period that lasted through most of prep and part way into Grade 1. Studying the work closely, you can readily ascertain my early influences which – judging by the photos I chose to stick on there – were roast chicken and the TV show ‘CHiPs’ starring Eric Estrada. Some of the pictures are starting to peel away now; a metaphor (perhaps) for the state of my artistic legacy more generally.

All of this would sting far less were it not for the fact that I am one of only five children. Frankly, evidence of their various artistic endeavors greets me whenever I turn around. In particular, my brother Cameron has work displayed at various vantage points around my father’s house. There’s the kettle he made in pottery class that is yet to produce a single cup of tea, but occupies pride of place in the kitchen.

Then there’s the gigantic bowl he created after we were told that we were allowed only one bowl of cereal after school. That thing could hold an entire packet of Wheat-Bix. It was the

‘Spruce Goose’ of cereal bowls. There are drawings and other artifacts, all of which make my collage pencil holder look like little more than a tin can with some picture stuck on.

He was always much better at that kind of thing. Perhaps it’s only right that more of his work should have survived the passage of time. Maybe its best for everyone that my efforts remain exactly where they belong: in the past. You can’t take everything with you and it would be unhealthy if you did. Leaving things behind is every bit as important taking things along for the ride. The past is a far more potent thing once you leave it.

Nowadays, we collect new artworks from the younger family members. In our house, we have a number of canvases that showcase the efforts of various nephews and nieces. Just recently, I received a new artwork in that most under-utilized of mediums: Texta on notepad, from my brother’s youngest.

Currently, Tyler is fascinated by a particular bodily function and its inevitable results and it’s clearly a key influence on his work. To that, he has added a pair of goggle eyes that roll around whenever the artwork is moved. ‘Unmentionable With Eyes’ currently sits on our fridge, it’s rolling eyes following your every move. Given the artist is currently four, it’s too soon to say whether or not this particular artwork represents any kind of peak. I intend to keep it, though, no matter what. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Tigers sneak in, for now PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SEAFORD is in the top five after beating Karingal at Miles Reserve in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Saturday.

The Tigers crept into the top bracket after Edithvale were beaten by Mornington, however, the chances of Seaford maintaining that spot is questionable given they don’t play this weekend and Edithvale play Karingal.

Seaford played its round 17 game against Pines on the Queen’s Birthday weekend and went down by more than 10 goals.

Karingal won’t be a lay down opposition for Edithvale at Ballam Park this weekend but given the Eagles have a place in the finals at stake, you would expect them to win.

If the Bulls do beat the Eagles, it will come down to the final home and away game of the season, where Seaford travel to Wooralla Drive to tackle Mt Eliza and Edithvale play at home to YCW. Right now, the Tigers are two points clear of Edithvale, following their draw to Karingal earlier in the season, where they led by five goals at the 12 minute mark of the last quarter.

Percentage will have no bearing on the end result.

Edithvale beats Karingal this weekend and they play finals. Lose and they’re out!

Edithvale started well against Mornington on Saturday but conceded 10 of the next 13 goals to go down 14.8 (92) to 7.16 (58).

The Eagles had no answer for Dale Whelan in attack who finished with five goals and Warwick Miller, who dictated terms all afternoon. Emilio Bitters also did an outstanding job on the dangerous Mark Meehan.

The Doggies have won three of their past five games, going down to Bonbeach by just 14 points and YCW by five points.

While 2016 is a write off, Mornington coach Chris Holcombe said the clubs was looking forward to preseason in 2017.

“The vibe around the place is fantastic right now and the group is already talking about the pre-season,” Holcombe said.

Stonecats steamroll Pines: The Pythons had no answer for Frankston YCW, going down by 56 points.

Picture: Scott Memery

“We’ve been able to get games into a lot of kids and they are really starting to click now. They know what senior football is all about.”

Holcombe said he expected to sit down with the club this week to discuss his coaching future.

“I believe that the club and the playing group are keen for me to go again and I’m really excited about the upcoming phase of the club – it’s exciting,” Holcombe said.

“The challenge for me will be the work/football balance and whether I can make that work,” he said.

Bonbeach played some inspiring footy to celebrate the 200th game of superstar Shane McDonald, beating Mt Eliza by 72 points, 18.6 (114) to 6.6 (42).

The little master booted five goals in the victory and was the best player on

Sudoku and crossword solutions

the park. McDonald booted four of his five goals in the opening 15 minutes of the match. Beau Bailey also continues to impress for the Sharks.

It’s the second time this season that Bonbeach has beaten Mt Eliza.

Redlegs coach Troy Shannon gave all the credit to Bonbeach.

“Bonbeach were harder and more desperate than us and we carried far too many passengers,” Shannon said.

“We had a number of players with some question marks in big games and we got to see how they responded. It was good for the coaching staff, not to lose, but to have another good look at some coming up to finals,” Shannon said.

Mt Eliza got within three goals of Bonbeach in the third quarter before the Sharks steadied late in the term to regain control.

Frankston YCW dominated Pines after quarter time, booting 16 goals to seven to win 18.17 (125) to 10.9 (69).

Anthony Bruhn was at his very best with five goals while Ryan Santon was also dominated with three majors.

Luke Potts was Pines’ best with two goals.

The Pythons are on struggle street with full back Jack Fisher and key forward Tim Bongetti out for the season.

Coach Pat Swayne told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that “Bongo (Bongetti) was an outside chance to play finals but would need to do everything right for that to happen”.

Langwarrin spearhead Kieran Albanese booted a career-high seven goals in a best on ground performance against Chelsea on Saturday.

Joel Bateman was also brilliant for

the Kangas with three goals and his little brother Josh also played a significant role in the victory.

The Kangas booted 11 goals to four after half time, winning 19.14 (128) to 12.7 (79).

Matty Baxter booted four goals for the Gulls and Grant Trew was one of their best.

Seaford had 29 scoring shots to Karingal’s seven on Saturday, winning 13.16 (94) to 3.4 (22).

Seaford dominated the game and this time around, didn’t allow the Bulls back into the contest.

Brayden Irving was back for the Tigers and he made a significant difference with three goals in a dominant performance.

Aaron Paxton was Karingal’s best, along with Luke Duhig, who played his best game for the club.

By Toe Punt SOMERVILLE has locked in a top three place on the MPNFL Nepean Division ladder following a strong fighting win against Red Hill on Saturday.

The Eagles once again withstood a relentless opposition that refused to concede defeat, despite the fact that the Eagles appeared to put the Hillmen away a couple of times in the second half, winning 12.14 (86) to 10.9 (69).

After a solid performance against Hastings last week, where they withstood a late charge from the Blues, it was always going to be interesting to see how Somerville backed up.

The home side booted the first two goals of the game before Red Hill hit back and started to control the game on their terms.

Somerville lost important defender Kane McKenzie before the game to a hamstring injury, which certainly threw out their structures in the second term when Red Hill gained total control.

The quick transition football we have come to expect from Red Hill was clearly on show in the second quarter with Jake Mold, Matt Hyden, Benny Poole and Sean Marchetti dominating through the middle of the ground and Jonah Siverson, Michael Mock and Tom McKinley controlling things in the back half.

In attack, Red Hill had Peter Dal Lago, Tommy McEnroe, Jarred Eames and Harry Larwill who all looked dangerous and were converting opportunities.

Somerville looked at sea with Ben Sedgewick being moved back, Scott Simpson forward and Tommy Shaw playing through the middle.

At half time, the Hillmen were in total control, dictating terms and playing the game in their front half.

In the past, the Somerville of old would have buckled at that point. Mentally they would not have been able to overcome the domination.

However, the Eagles reset during the long interval, its preferred structure was back and they got to work. They started to win contested balls again, ball transition was long and direct and the forwards got in good positions one out to cause some headaches for the opposition. The result was four goals to one in the third term and a 21-point three quarter time break.

Ben Sedgewick and Billy ‘Bang Bang’ Rolfe were simple sensational for the winners. Sedgewick’s workrate was outstanding and he was rewarded with three goals, Rolfe continued to present and got the better of Dan McNamara, finishing with four majors. Justin Allsop was also outstanding with two important goals while Adrian Speedy played his best game for the season, his team mates giving him the footy in dangerous spots so he could use his raking left foot.

Josh Westerman was again terrific, shutting down the inform Jake Mitchell, while also making

life difficult for Marchetti at times.

It was a finals-type contest. Plenty of skill errors from both sides, which were only caused by each of the defensive structures and perceived pressure.

The ball was red hot and not one player shirked an issue.

The game saw the debut of Red Hill youngster Ethan Bryan, who did some nice things and proved he is another one for the future of the Red Hill Football Club.

The loss saw Red Hill drop to fifth place on the ladder and they will play Hastings in the Elimination Final.

Rosebud is still a mighty chance to finish on top of the ladder after absolutely smashing Dromana at Pier Street on Saturday.

The reigning premier had 40 scoring shots to just 10 and should have won by a whole lot more than 70 points, 17.23 (125) to 9.1 (55).

The Buds booted seven goals to two in the opening quarter and by half time the margin had blown out to 54 points.

Dale Stephens was brilliant for the winners with three goals, another one of those ‘second string’ players who does all the right things and has taken the next step this season.

Greg Bentley and Ben Shultz bobbed up for three each while ben Dwyer dominated in the ruck.

Brenton Payne and the Rhys Bancroft also controlled things in the middle of the ground, while Jake Jarman continues to dominate.

The Tigers had no answers, despite the good work of Dan Guerts and Christian Ongarello.

Top of the table Frankston Bombers took some time to shake off Pearcedale, however, booted 10 goals to five after half time to win 17.16 (118) to 11.12 (78).

Zac Longham booted five for the winners while James Degenhardt and Jarryd Amalfi were outstanding.

Harrison Prior was outstanding for the Panthers in his first game released from Frankston.

Hastings travels to Frankston this Saturday in what should be a sensational contest after the Blues belted Crib Point by 102 points.

The Blues booted 14 goals to two in the opening half and eight goals to two in the second hour, winning 20.12 (132) to 4.6 (30).

Hastings had 12 goal kickers, eight of them booting two each, with Mark Devereaux and Nathan Gray unstoppable through the middle of the ground.

In the final game, Devon Meadows booted the first nine goals of the game before Tyabb kicked six on the trot to get themselves back into the game.

Despite the Yabbies’ purple patch, they went down 15.9 (99) to 9.7 (61).

Curtis Barker was arguably the best player on the park for the Meadows while Jace Henderson was outstanding too with three goals.
