FORMER residents of Mentone Gardens will receive compensation after the Victorian Ombudsman released a scathing report slamming the Department of Health for failing to adequately monitor the Mentone aged care home. Mentone Gardens went into voluntary administration two years ago with more than $4 million in bonds and deposits unaccounted for (‘Bonds lost as home goes bust’, The News 25/9/13). The department has agreed to make ex-gratia payments to former Mentone Gardens residents at taxpayers’ expense after an Ombudsman investigation finalised last month uncovered “a litany of failings by the department over an extended period of time”. Ombudsman Deborah Glass heard from 18 former residents and families during the course of the investigation. “Despite showing no proper financial records over its entire 25 year history of operation, numerous complaints about both the care of residents and financial management, and two prosecutions by the department, Mentone Gardens had its registration renewed eleven times.” The aged care home was found to have breached care plans on several occasions amid poor hygiene standards. When the aged care home went into administration there were 39 elderly residents who had paid large sums of money for care and accommodation. The liquidator advised the money had “disappeared” due to “misappropriation of funds”. The Ombudsman report noted Mentone Gardens was operated by Parklane
Assets Pty Ltd and “for much of its 25year history” Parklane’s directors were a husband and wife. Those directors were William and Gela Newitt. Mr Newitt died in January 2014 and Mrs Newitt resigned her directorship in 2011 but the Ombudsman noted “she appears to have had effective control of the day-to-day management of the facility, particularly once the proprietor was admitted to a nursing home”. Parkdale Assets had been trading while insolvent for three years before going into administration and the Ombudsman found some of bonds and deposits monies that should have been held in trust accounts were transferred “to a related entity of Parklane”. “The consequences for residents were not limited to financial loss,” Ms Glass said. “Residents and their families told my office of the hardship involved in having to relocate to new accommodation, accepting lesser facilities and the general distress associated with the loss of savings accumulated over a lifetime of hard work and frugal living. “For their families, the loss was exacerbated by the bureaucratic stonewalling of departmental representatives as they tried to find answers. They told me they felt betrayed, hurt and let down by the system.” Registered Supported Residential Service providers, such as Mentone Gardens before its liquidation, must now hold bond money in trust. “The department has assured me that all currently registered SRSs are subject to inspection,” Ms Glass said.

The shows must go on THE Big O has survived the Big C. Entertainer-at-large John Wells, who regularly performs at venues around Kingston as Roy Orbison in a tribute show, was stopped in his tracks by a throat cancer diagnosis four years ago. The singer, guitarist and drummer said when he was told he was not expected to live more than three months when diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. “I was told I’d never sing again … and I’ve kind of beaten the odds a bit.” After spending about a year recuperating after surgery, radiotherapy and chemo Wells decided to get back on the road part-time and team up again with his Drawcard Entertainment co-
founder Norbert Graetzer. Wells, a non-smoker, thinks passive smoking from the years playing pubs and clubs may be to blame for his throat cancer and is glad smoking in enclosed venues is now banned. “We didn’t know any different back then,” he said. Wells said the first troubling sign something was amiss came when a sore throat was followed about four months later by a lump forming on his neck. “They took the cancer out … it was right on my vocal chords.” The 50-year-old Chelsea resident praised staff at The Alfred for their “amazing” work. In recent months Wells has been in
and out of hospital due to a recurring Golden Staph infection. “I’ve lost the use of one of my hands but I’m one of the lucky ones,” he said. Wells is focused on extending his three decades and counting career in the entertainment business. “Everything that Drawcard does raises money for somebody. We’re all about helping others. It’s pretty rewarding.” John Wells will perform at The Australian Eagles and Little River Band Tribute Show at Longbeach RSL, Chelsea on Friday 15 May. See drawcardentertainment.com.au for details.

Milestone one for the history books Turf battle over footy state of play at ovals
MENTONE Public Library celebrates its 90th anniversary at the end of this month with local authors, poetry readings and live music. A tribute by Mordialloc Writers’ Group will focus on Mentone’s literary panorama over the decades: the changes to the station, cinema and beach – the personalities and the reminiscences. A highlight will be Blue Chair Poets’ Sarah Farrugia and Deborah Williams presenting original works and local author Shirley Randles presenting an ode to the vibrant legacy left by former library president Jean Critchley, who died on New Year’s Day. “The milestone gives us the chance to remember our past volunteers and members who may no longer be with us,” library president Tony Brooker said. “We hope to continue to grow and offer more services to our members and to those from the community who may not yet have discovered us.” Library spokeswoman Julia Reichstein said the library, staffed by volunteers, was a “humble organisation with very big ambitions in a rapidly changing area and demographic – and there lies our challenge. “Changing trends threaten our survival as it is all too easy to be forgotten by those who never had the chance to know you,” she said. “It takes a lot of work and energy to re-introduce ourselves to residents and show them that, although we are of humble means, we are capable of delivering some very unique services – namely our intimate local author programs and our vintage legacy. “So often when patrons first enter

our premises, they say how homely it is and how safe they feel. Everyone’s viewpoint is listened to and valued here. We have come to be a regular meeting place for home-grown writers and residents.” Treasurer Lorna Miranda said the many new authors and best sellers and book prize winners helped connect library volunteers to the community. “The choices are endless,” she said. “I read the synopsis and, if the plot intrigues me, it’s for me. It’s quite amazing how many patrons do the same, and interesting to know their views,” Library patron and former mayor of Mordialloc and Kingston Bill Nixon praised past and present library committees in the lead up to the anniversary. “Opening prior to the great depression of the 1930s, passing through World War II and the amalgamation of councils that formed Kingston, the library is as relevant today as it needed to be in the past.
“It operates as a library and a resource centre for students and emerging writers.” Kingston historian Dr Graham Whitehead said new families moving into Mentone over the past few decades often remarked: “I had no idea your library even existed”. “While it can be argued we are a humble fixture, we are by no means a new kid on the block,” he said. “Mentone Public Library was formed in 1925 - well before the conception and now vibrant City of Kingston Library and Information Service.” Bookings are essential for the library’s birthday celebrations on Saturday 30 May, 11am-2pm. Call Mr Brooker on 9583 8494 or email: mentonepubliclibrary@gmail.com The library is at the rear entrance of the CAB Building, 36 Florence St, Mentone. Entry is by gold coin donation. Stephen Taylor
THE poor state of ovals at Bonbeach Reserve has forced Kingston Council to apologise to the Bonbeach Football Netball and Bonbeach YCW Junior Football clubs. The ovals – surrounding the modernised clubrooms – host games for hundreds of children each week. The apology followed a warning letter from the clubs saying the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League had declared the reserve “unsafe” for football, and that it would not schedule senior games there “until the playing surface has been brought up to the required standard”. Kingston Council CEO John Nevins said council had been working with the clubs to urgently fix the turf problems. “We greatly appreciate the positive role that sports clubs play in the local community and the council is keen to support them in their good work promoting an active, connected and healthy community.” Mr Nevins said council officers had held talks with the clubs over the past week. “We have agreed to undertake expansive top dressing of the ground with soil to level out lower areas, oversow top-dressed areas to get grass coverage [there] for the football season, and undertake repairs to the irrigation system to ensure water supply.” He said council would “continue to meet with the clubs throughout the season to ensure the playing surface re-
mains in good condition”. The two clubs had earlier expressed serious concerns about the condition of two of the three ovals during a meeting with council and the MPNFL. The MPNFL wrote to council in February stating the ground was unsuitable for use, saying council made a “token effort” to fill holes with sand on Oval 4 before recent games but had not committed to a timeline for repair works on Oval 1. Even with the footy season fast approaching, the league did not receive a response for four weeks, and no remedial work was done until last week. The league declared uneven areas around the cricket pitch on Oval 1 “potentially dangerous”, while similar problems were found around the northern end of Oval 4, used by up to 200 junior players each weekend. The initial lack of response had disappointed the clubs and the league. “We just want it fixed so it’s a safe ground,’’ Bonbeach Football Netball Club president Reece Murphy said. “We are worried that games of community football may be forfeited as a result in coming weeks.” The condition of Oval 4 remains a problem, with BYCW president Brian Lockett asking council to provide a back-up venue should it also be deemed unsafe for play. The reserve’s first game is scheduled for Oval 1 on Saturday 30 May to coincide with the opening of the renovated clubrooms. “However, unless immediate remedial work is performed, this will not be possible,” the league said.

Reaping the Harvest with food, music CROWDS of 8000 and up flocked to Roy Dore Reserve, Carrum, on the weekend to enjoy a taste of country at the City of Kingston’s annual Harvest Festival. The ninth annual festival has its roots in the celebration of the autumn harvest dating back to British-Saxon times. This was a time when the success of a crop governed the lives of whole communities. Kingston’s Harvest Festival entertained with non-stop music, fresh food and cooking demonstrations in the Harvest Kitchen, market stalls, locally produced food, licensed bar and amusements. Crowds delighted to the sounds of country music as well as bluegrass and rockabilly artists on the Big Top stage. The line-up was headlined by Aussie rock legends Boom Crash Opera, alongside Jason Singh, Fiona Boyes and The Fortune Tellers and Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes. Sustainable workshops in the Green Hub offered tips on home composting and worm farms, Eco-Mixpo displayed sustainable products, enthusiasts learned how to make recycled succulents, plant edible gardens, make minigarden presents for mum, and blend their own smoothies. Kids learned how to make their own billy carts in the Kids’ Marquee and wandering performers The Water Drops and Giant Scarecrows roamed the grounds. Truck stage highlights included Dandy Man Circus and Comedy and Asking for Trouble theatre show. “This year’s festival was a great event with one of the strongest turn-outs ever seen,” Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said. “It wrapped up another successful Season of Festivals by the City of Kingston and was a chance for the community to come together and enjoy some great music, food and entertainment.” Harvest Festival was hosted by Kingston Council.

War journal captures a soldier’s life Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au WHILE Australians pay their respects to the World War I fallen during this year’s Anzac centenary the war against terrorism continues in foreign fields and deserts. Aaron Healy is one of those who served and the Chelsea resident’s journal detailing his experiences during 112 days deployed in Afghanistan in 2011 have been accepted in to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. The former Trooper’s journal, written using a laptop, vividly chronicles the battles, danger and – at times – boredom that is a soldier’s lot during wartime. The journal was the first of two from the Afghanistan campaign – alongside army comrade Stephen Gavin’s – to be accepted into the Australian War Memorial’s archives. The 26-year-old was stationed in Uruzgan Province and found there was a culture shock for both Australian troops and the Afghan locals. “The locals were very mistrusting and weren’t really sure who we were or what we were doing there,” Mr Healy said. “They had never really been breached by the outside world. They really had no idea about coalition forces. The Russians never made it to them during their occupation.” Mr Healy’s battalion trained and mentored Afghan army volunteers during his tour of duty. “They were interesting characters. Some of them can be a bit ‘Bananas in Pyjamas’ – they can be a bit silly and always making mistakes. Some of them took it really seriously and wanted to re-
build and stabilise their country.” He could understand why some Afghan soldiers were less than enthusiastic about military life. “It’s an impoverished country that hasn’t been stable since probably the 1970s and a lot of them have just joined up for three meals a day and pay. Their heart’s not in it. They don’t care. They just do what they have to not get kicked out.” Drug use among Afghan volunteers was rife, Mr Healy said, with marijuana, heroin and opium readily available. “Some of them were fantastic and really nice guys [but] some of them were Taliban insiders. They used to make phone calls and sell information when we left the base to tell the Taliban we’re leaving and what direction we were heading in.” While on a reconnaissance mission, Mr Healy and his fellow soldiers came under attack by a sniper and, later that night, machine gun fire ripped into their temporary camp. “We put as many rounds as we could into where they [the bullets] were coming from. We killed five of them.” US Apache helicopters were called in to provide air support. Uruzgan Province is home to the notorious “IED alley” and Mr Healy’s battalion regularly had to travel the gauntlet of the improvised explosive device strewn valley. Twisted ‘trenches humour’ saw troops keeping a score of how many IEDs they stuck while out on patrol in heavily armoured vehicles. “I only hit one IED over there,” Mr Healy said. “We were lucky that the bomb maker who put together that IED
didn’t know his chemistry too well and he didn’t get the components right so when we hit it … it didn’t release the whole 15kg charge.” After his Afghanistan deployment Mr Healy decided to leave the army. He had always wanted to join the army and enlisted at the age of 19 but decided six years was enough time in the armed forces. It’s a good experience and a great adventure but I didn’t see it as a full-time career. I got pretty disgruntled with the army. You’re always just like a child getting led around.” “I always had my mind set on joining up. Once I got there it’s not what you imagine it to be. It is what it is. I enjoyed my time and was happy to walk away once I’d felt I’d finished and achieved everything I needed to.” Mr Healy still stays in touch with his former army comrades but has lost contact with Afghans he met during his deployment. He often thinks about an interpreter – “a fantastic bloke” from “the birthplace of the Taliban” – who feared he and his family would be murdered if the Taliban found out he worked with the Australian Army. Australian authorities should do all they can to repatriate those who helped troops in war zones, Mr Healy said. “We owe it to them. Not all of them. Each one should be assessed on a caseby-case basis.” His journal will be put on display on an electronic screen at the Australian War Memorial after the war in Afghanistan is over. About 400 Australian troops remain in Afghanistan and seem set to stay until at least the end of 2016.

Dolphin deaths lead to tighter rules for fishing
Beside the bay: The annual Walk for Western Port help raise money for the Dolphin Research Institute and awareness of threats to the environment. Picture: Justin Betts, Whitelight Photography
Bay ‘wonders’ open up on dolphin walk ABOUT 250 people and many of their pets walked around the foreshore near Hastings for this year’s Dolphin Research Institute’s Walk for Western Port. “We started the Walk for Western Port five years ago to open people’s eyes to the wonders of our bay,” the institute’s executive director Jeff Weir said. “The event is a key part of the Institute’s i sea, i care ambassador program and this year 24 schools were at the walk, from the municipalities of Frankston, Kingston and Mornington Peninsula. “This means that the experiences of the children on the day and the Western Port messages will be shared with
close to 15,000 people in their school communities.” The event is supported by Melbourne Water, which is responsible for managing the 2232 kilometres of rivers and creeks that flow into Western Port. Melbourne Water’s waterways manage (South-East region), Greg Bain, said that the bay’s environment was one of international significance and the event was a “great way” to learn more about the area and raise awareness of the many species that live there. Mr Weir credited Melbourne Water’s Western Port Science Review with “opening up many of Western Port's secrets”.
“A key finding of the study is that the mudflats support more than one per cent of the world's population of six species of birds,” he said. “They feed on a rich diversity of shrimps, worms and molluscs that live in the mud. To put this in perspective, one per cent of humans would mean over 60 million of us living in Western Port.” Mr Weir said sediment was “one of the problems” facing the bay because “of our actions in the catchment”. “Western Port's wetlands and mudflats act as giant kidneys to purify land-based run-off, stopping the bay from turning green like an aquarium with a clogged filter,” he said.
NEW restrictions have been imposed on the fishing industry following the deaths of eight dolphins and four fur seals during two offshore trips by the factory trawler, Geelong Star. The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) says trawlers in the small pelagic fishery must now only fish during daylight while the Geelong Star has to prove if has taken “all reasonable steps … to minimise further marine mammal mortalities”. Boats operating within a defined management zone would face a sixmonth ban on fishing if a dolphin died as a result of their operations. The tightening of fishing rules is seen as a “significant win for marine mammals in Australian waters”, by Jeff Weir, executive director of the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute. “Our goal should be to eliminate marine mammal deaths as bycatch, most critically because we don’t know enough about the vulnerability of dolphin communities around our coast, so much more research is required,” he said. He said marine mammal deaths as bycatch in Australian waters is “bigger than the operation of the Geelong Star” and the DRI “welcomes the breadth of AFMA's announcement to include all small pelagic fisheries in Australian waters”. “Eight dolphin deaths in two trips are unacceptable,” the AFMA’s CEO Dr James Findlay said.
“We have said all along that the vessel management plan was a live document and we would be adaptive and responsive to ensure that all reasonable measures are in place to minimise harm to marine mammals.” Mr Findlay said the Geelong Star must be fitted with tamper proof cameras to monitor its fishing activity before setting sail for its third voyage. “In addition to e-monitoring, two AFMA officers will remain on board to closely observe the vessel’s operations,” he said. While encouraging the vessles operato, Seafish Tasmania, to work with marine mammal experts to ensure it stays “within the restrictive fishing conditions”, Mr Findlay said “all fishing poses risks that can sometimes lead to the unintentional harm to marine mammals”. Mr Weir said the AFMA's night fishing ban and threat to close the entire fishery if any dolphins die in future operations “is a strong evidence-based response”. “Some important research in this area has been funded by the federal government and these recent deaths confirm that this funding should be ongoing,” Mr Weir said. “Where there are gaps in our knowledge we need to undertake more research and use the precautionary principle to ensure the long-term protection of marine mammals in Australian waters.” Keith Platt
Heart starter donated to golf club Life training course. Bank branch manager Kristy Marshall said a heart attack occurred in Australia every 10 minutes. “More than 55,000 people were affected last year – tragically almost 10,000 died,” she said. “About half of the deaths occur before the victim reaches hospital and almost a quarter lose the battle within an hour of the first warning sign.” Golf club manager Nick Macmillan said the club was on the look-out for new members. “We cater to an older age group of 60-plus and welcome golfers to visit to play a round,” he said.

Leagues support Saints’ return Cabbage patch cook: Maddie Race is taking part in the annual Food Revolution Day. Pic: Gary Sissons
Tasting ‘bout a revolution KIDS Say Yum cooking class owner Maddie Race will join TV chef Jamie Oliver - and hundreds of ambassadors across the world - taking part in the fourth annual Food Revolution Day on Friday. “With overweight and obesity statistics showing alarming increases, and preventable diet-related disease claiming more lives earlier than ever before, it has never been more important to educate children about food, where it comes from and how it affects their bodies,” she said. “Food Revolution is about getting kids food smart and setting them up for a long, healthy life.” More than 1300 ambassadors in more than 120 countries are planning events, both big and small, for the Food Revolution day. As part of the fun, Jamie’s Food Revolution dish the healthy ‘Squash it Sandwich’ will make its appearance at a free event hosted by Ms Race, 1-3pm the day before – Thursday - at Chelsea Heights Community Centre. Residents are invited to come along with young children and grandchildren to participate. “The event would
not be possible without great support from Kingston councillors, Chelsea Heights Community Centre and local MP Tim Richardson,” Ms Race said. “It will be a fun day, as together we unite and fight for food education.” Ms Race is excited to be involved. “Food Revolution Day is at the heart of all the work Jamie and his Food Foundation do to engage and inspire people of all ages to learn about food and how to cook it.” The excitement doesn’t just end there: Bonbeach Primary School is participating with 264 students keen to roll up their sleeves and cook along with Jamie. Teacher Sharon King says she is “really looking forward to Friday and the kids can’t wait”. Ms Race said the Food Revolution Day focused on a global petition to make practical food education compulsory on school curriculums. “Jamie believes that, by educating children about food and cooking in a fun and engaging way, we can equip them with the basic skills they need to lead healthier, happier lives, for themselves and their future families.”
COMMUNITY football leagues have thrown their support behind the expanded $29 million Moorabbin Reserve redevelopment project. New state-of-the-art facilities will provide a new headquarters for community leagues that represent over 14,000 players from the Southern Football Netball League (SFNL), South Metro Junior Football League (SMJFL) and TAC club Sandringham Dragons. The community leagues are also looking forward to building stronger links with the St Kilda Football Club including access to the AFL clubís coaching staff to help further develop talented young players. Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said the expanded project was about far more than the St Kilda Football Club and would have incredible benefits for thousands of community footballers. “This is a great opportunity to invest in our community by providing a community football hub that will boost community football leagues that serve thousands of locals,” Cr Gledhill said. “It will also provide a much-needed indoor sports court that the community is crying out for, a great new playground and improved parkland. “Instead of crumbling infrastructure that’s an eyesore for local residents, Moorabbin Reserve will boast quality parkland, a great new playground, fantastic facilities for community sport and provide a home base for the St Kilda Football Club.” SFNL Vice Chairman Garry Cranny said the league was “extremely enthusiastic” about the expanded redevelopment of Moorabbin Reserve that incorporates St Kilda AFL returning to Moorabbin Reserve as their training
Moorabbin plan takes flight: Jimmy Webster (St Kilda), left, Jack Wallace (Sandringham) and Luke Dunstan (St Kilda) watch on as Thomas, left, and Ron help Yoav take a speccy. Picture: Gary Sissons
and administration base. Mr Cranny said the shared community football hub would allow many levels of football to work together to boost participation and also provide a place where people can feel included, connected and supported. The SFNL currently represents 33 Member Clubs with 92 Australian Rules football teams and 51 Netball teams - boasting around 5000 players and a volunteer support base of thousands more. It includes teams from Kingston, Glen Eira, Bayside, Monash, Greater Dandenong, Stonnington, Casey, Port Phillip and Frankston. The South Metro Junior Football League’s president Peter Ryan said “St Kilda coming back to Moorabbin gives our clubs the opportunity to use some
facilities that potentially they have never had before.” “One of the things we hope is to develop some leadership incentives for the kids. To be able to bring some of our teams train here and use the new facilities will be fantastic.” The SMJFL includes teams from Kingston, Glen Eira, Bayside, Port Phillip, Monash and Stonnington. The Saints’ move back to Moorabbin Reserve from Seaford has not been all smooth sailing. Several Kingston councillors have voiced concern about spending $5 million of ratepayers’ money on the expanded Moorabbin Reserve project after St Kilda FC ditched Moorabbin as its base in 2007 after a bitter dispute with council over pokies machines.
Art and business: John Paul Fischbach will show how art and business success do not have to be mutually exclusive.
The art of making a living IRISH singer Van Morrison has written about people thinking it “rather quaint” that “the great Rembrandt … didn't have enough money for his brushes” (The Great Deception). True or false, it’s often a struggle for artists to make a living from their skills. Luckily for Morrison, his musicianship is appreciated by millions of fans willing to buy his albums or attend his concerts. But that level of fame, and income, comes to just a small proportion of talented performing and visual artists. A seminar being held in Frankston this weekend aims to help artists make a living from their art. Billed as Secrets of Success, the seminar being held by Auspicious Arts Incubator teaches artists how to “succeed in the competitive business landscape”. “The world is in desperate need of artists. It kills me that artists are throwing in the towel just because they don't have the business and marketing skills to succeed,” the arts incubator founder and CEO John Paul Fischbach said. “Almost half of the Australian population is creatively engaged in some form of artistic creation, but only a tiny fraction possess the skills
PAGE 8
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 13 May 2015
and experience to transform their passion into a successful career. “Years of artistic effort can go unnoticed, but one day's attention to the business end of things can transform all of that.” The arts incubator was founded in 2007 after investigation by Arts Victoria, City of Melbourne and the Australia Council for the Arts revealed the need for more support in the small independent performing arts sector. Frankston Council is supporting the seminar. Mr Fischbach, a theatre and film director and producer, said the seminar “takes participants through a comprehensive evaluation of their own work as entrepreneurs, offering real tools to manage their finances, time and mental attitudes towards creativity as a rewarding and lucrative asset”. “What's common knowledge in other industries can be alien to artists, who frequently don't have access to the knowledge and resources required to develop long-term strategies.” The Secrets of Success seminar is at Cube 37, 37 Davey St, Frankston, 9.30am–5pm Saturday 16 May and two-hour sessions Sunday 17 May.

Compiled by Melissa Walsh
THE friends of Cr T. Ritchie will be pleased to learn that he is able to be about again after his recent illness. *** THE Secretary of The Frankston Football Club begs to acknowledge 10s 6d from Mr Gregory, as a donation towards the Club. *** MR R. T. Picking and family, who have resided in Frankston for some years, have removed to Glen Huntly during the winter months. The absence of the young ladies will be much felt, particularly in social and church work. *** MR W. S Price, dentist, of Bourke street, notifies that he will visit Frankston tomorrow (Sunday), and will be in attendance at Garrood’s Prince of Wales Hotel to receive patients. (Not St Pancras Hospital, as formerly). *** THE Sydney Music Publishing Co have secured the copyright to the popular song “She who gives her son” sung with immense success throughout Australia by Tilly Dunbar of the Fuller Vaudeville Circuit, the words being by Stephen Raffo and the music by W. Bass Hodge. Copies of the song may be obtained at Frankston, from Mrs Hays fancy goods emporium for 1s 6d per copy.
application to Mr A. T Denham Hastings.
A MEETING of the contributors to the Frankston Patriotic Fund and of the Presentation Fund Committee will be held at the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston, on Wednesday next at 8 p.m. The principal business will be financial. The hon treasurer informs us that he has a very substantial sum in hand and it is hoped that there will be a good muster at the meeting to discuss the financial statement and the disposal of the funds in hand.
*** AT the Mechanics’ Institute Frankston next Monday 17th May, the master magician “Linco” will present a unique up-to-date and spectacular entertainment consisting of the latest illusions and feats of slight of hand. In these advanced days when enter- tainments have been brought to such a “fine art”’ it is refreshing to find a performer like “Linco” who is really original to see him holding his audience one moment rocking with laughter and the next spellbound with amazement at the dexterity with which he performs one difficult feat after another undoubtedly merits him the title of the master magician. The entertainment will also be supported by a specially selected programme of up-to-date pictures commencing at 8 p.m. sharp.
*** EMPIRE Day will be celebrated at the Frankston State School on Monday, 24th May, by the children having games etc at the school, during the afternoon, and to the evening a picture show will be given in the Mechanics’ Hall, to which the school children will be admitted on payment of 1d, and adults 6d, any surplus, after expenses are paid being given to the Belgian Fund. The picture show will commence at 7.30 p.m.
*** THE latest letters from Egypt received by relatives and friends of our local soldiers reached here the beginning of this week. One written by Driver A. G. Young was dated April 10th 1915. The troops were then at the Rest camp, a few miles out of Alexandria and they were on the move to the Dardenelles, where we have learned since, they have done such splendid work and where Australia is now living with her sons. ‘We are glad to get a move on’ the writer continues, ‘I am sure the actual

It was not long after this letter was written that the first casualty list was published, and each additional list is scanned eagerly for familiar names. Many and genuine were the expressions of regret when the name of Mr Olley, nephew of Mrs Sherlock, of this town, was found among the list of those who were killed when the first fighting took place. Quite a gloom was cast over Frankston on Monday, when word was received that Private R..H .Dawborn was wounded, and much sympathy is expressed for his relatives who are at present living in Melbourne after spending years in Frankston, where they are well known. News of Ray is anxiously waited for. Corporal H C. Ashmore is also among the wounded. Up to date all other Frankston boys are still fighting for King and country, fit and well. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason request us to notify that owing to the legal matters relative to Mr McArthur’s sale (as per preliminary advertisement) the date of this sale cannot yet be fixed. *** AT 5.50 p.m., on the 26th of April, in an unpretentious cottage in William Street, Frankston, surrounded by sorrowing relatives, there passed silently
and painlessly into the Life Eternal, one whose sojourn here had been a ministry of benefaction for many years. To withhold our tribute from one so worthy, to fail to record appreciation of her worth, would be ill in accordance with the nature of things, for like her Divine Master it may be said of her that she went about doing good. In all the relations of life, as daughter, wife, mother or friend, whether in pressing poverty or bravely struggling with the hardship inseparable from the lot of a pioneer, she ever exhibited a kindliness of disposition, wealth of resource, loyalty to high principle, conscience, and duty, which marked her unmistakeably as pre-eminent among women. Grace McComb, the subject of our memoir, was born on August 19th, 1827, at Muddy Plains, near Clarence Plains, a few miles from Hobart, Tasmania. Sixty-three years a resident of Victoria, honored and respected by all, leaving behind her six sons, two daughters, 47 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, she has gone to rest. ***
SATURDAY last was the opening
day of the Peninsula Football Association, and the weather was all that could be desired, being nice and mild, without any wind, so that it was a matter of indifference from which end the ball was kicked. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 May, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Man versus chicken: The ultimate mixed martial art By Stuart McCullough SO that, so it seems, is that. We will spend over three hundred million dollars to not build something. Truth be told, there’s a lot of things I would be willing to not do for three hundred million. Unloading the dishwasher, taking out the bins and opening my credit card statements immediately spring to mind. The whole debacle guarantees that in future the odds of achieving a consensus regarding any major piece of infrastructure are on par with Kim Jong-un replacing Zayne in One Direction. Or as likely as hell freezing over which, as it happens, is itself currently the subject of a cost / benefit analysis by Infrastructure Australia. Regardless of whether you were for or against the East – West link, the end result is a massive blow to the existential nether regions. But although things right now may seem bleak, there is something on the horizon that will, doubtless, restore the faith and optimism our state so sorely needs. Soon business confidence will soar to such a level that it immediately buy a convertible and start propositioning unsuspecting passers-by. But what, I hear you ask, can a dispirited and downtrodden people possibly have to look forward to? The answer is simple: cage fighting. When the history of this great state is written, it will rightly record that the most recent state election was a referendum on cage fighting. There can be no doubt that our Government has an unassailable mandate to introduce the sport of princes to an enthusiastic and grateful public. Forget cricket, football and soccer. Real sport wears
tights. And those who play real sports aren’t saddled with useless, pedestrian run-of-the-mill names like ‘David’, ‘Michael’ or ‘Lorraine’. Instead, truly elite athletes have memorable designations like ‘Bonecrusher’, ‘Lord Stink Breath’ and ‘Dennis’. The great thing about cage fighting is that it relies on nothing other than the skill and strength of the participants, notwithstanding that a fiftydollar gift voucher from Bunnings
also comes in handy if you don’t happen to have a cage at your immediate disposal. In the not too distant future, we will wonder how we ever lived in a world without mixed martial arts and a few cheeky metres of chicken wire. In fact, I predict that cage fighting will soon be a part of everyday life. I, for one, long for the day in the surely not too distant future when it becomes a standard part of school sports carnivals, right up there with lacrosse
and tunnel ball. Every school already has the infrastructure. You need only whack up an extra side on the cricket nets and – voilà – your cage-fighting arena awaits. You can’t tell me teachers aren’t looking forward to it. For those naysayers who like to destroy everything new and beautiful and precious, they can always pack a bag and move to Western Australia – the only domino in our martial-arts loving Commonwealth yet to fall. Besides, it’s not as though the sport is anything new. Just like democracy, cage fighting was invented by the Ancient Greeks except they called it ‘Pankration’. Back then, though, it was performed in colosseums rather than cages, presumably because Bunnings would not be invented for another two thousand years. Of those who do object, some don’t mind mixed martial arts so much as the arena. Those people are, frankly, delusional. The cage is – so I’m told – all about safety. Whose safety, I’m not altogether sure. Besides, it’s also kind of romantic. By conducting this violent and brutal sport in a cage, it gives the competitors somewhere to put their ‘I love you’ padlocks. And that, if nothing else, should count for something. But it’s not all extreme violence and grand romantic gestures. Indeed, cage fighting is not just about mixed martial arts: it’s about mixed feelings too. Because when human beings step inside quality fencing in the name of sport, it raises deep philosophical issues. Genevan philosopher and part time MKR celebrity judge Jean-Jacques Rousseau once wrote that Man is free, and everywhere is chains. Old Jean-
Jacques was ninety percent right. Humankind is not in chains, it’s in a great big, glorious cage. But consider this: for decades the world has worked to get chickens out of cages. In fact, we now insist that our eggs be cage free. By putting our mixed martial artists in wire cages, are we really saying that these elite athletes are less important than a chicken? It’s a scientific fact that chickens are mankind’s greatest natural threat. Don’t be fooled by their calm exterior – beneath all those feathers and clucking lurks the black heart of a killer that would rather rip your heart out through your chest than it would lay you an egg. That’s why we kept them locked up for all those years. Indeed, that’s why when someone meets their demise we still refer to ‘fowl play’ (although, granted, it’s often misspelled). Over decades, the oppressed poultry classes have lulled us into a false sense of security and we – suckers that we are – have fallen for it. Having conned their way out of imprisonment, the fiendish fowls have gone one step further by convincing humans to get in cages. They must be laughing at us. In fact, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if at the next bout, the entire audience is made up of chickens: Burford Browns, Buff Orpingtons and Afghan Subzwaris as far as the eye can see. We must resist. Either we insist that mixed martial arts are conducted in an entirely free-range environment or we invite all poultry to settle this once and for all with a cage fight for the ages. They’d better accept, too, lest I should have to call them, well, chicken. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

WOOD Turning Magic 2015 is a competition & exhibition of wood turning of the Peninsula Woodturners Guild; the magic of course is the talent of these turners in producing something wonderful from an uninteresting looking piece of wood. The Guild can be found at the McClelland Gallery Sculpture Park and at present the membership is just over two hundred members. They have a very modern and up to date workshop, thirteen wood lathes, a couple of bandsaws, a drill press and a tool sharpening machine. The turners provide their own woodturning chisels and sundry small tools, some of which they have modified out of other tools that they have made to suit their work. Classes are held twelve times a week both day and evening, so even if you are still working, there is a class you could attend. The classes have both men and women turners and some of the ladies have proven their talents by winning national awards for their work. There are several different types of woodturning, there is what you might call the more common items you expect of turned timber such as bowls and platters and pens and useful items, another type is segmented turning, where small pieces are cut to strict precision measurements, glued together and then turned on the lathe into items of both beauty and skill. Another form of turning is ornamental turning; the name alone gives one the idea of what it is all about but one is truly amazed at the intricacies that these turners produce. The segmented and the ornamental turners each have their own group sessions, Segmented meet together for discussions on the 2nd Monday monthly and the ornamental turners meet on the 1st Friday monthly. At these group discussions they talk about what they have been working on and any problems they be encountering. Besides the turning workshop, the Guild also has a studio where each Wednesday afternoon they hold a meeting from 1.00pm to 3.00pm. On
a Wednesday morning there is a computer group meeting and in this group members can bring queries or new programs for discussion and problem solving. The Guild is also very lucky in the type of membership it attracts. Some members are highly trained in various fields, one being audio work. Each Wednesday afternoon meeting there is a demonstration of turning, show and tell of work being completed and this work is examined for comment. Because of the audio technology and machinery available each meeting and demonstration is able to be recorded to disc and put in the Library for borrowing by the members. Like all clubs, associations operating money is always at a premium. There is always a charity section everywhere the Guild attend, they are an authorised fund raiser for “Kids With Cancer” Like every workshop it must be kept up to date and so at present the Guild is trying to raise money to improve their dust extractor system so they would like to see many, many visitors to Wood Turning Magic 2015 to help raise as much money as they can, but you will be impressed by the display that you will see. Some items will be for sale so make your Christmas lists early and go shopping. If you want to see more examples of their work go to www.pwguild.org.au or contact pwgshowdir@gmail.com

Kangas upset Stonecats in come from behind win PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN dislodged Frankston YCW from the Peninsula Division top five with a come from behind five-point win on Saturday. The Kangaroos trailed by 20 points at three quarter and went further down when YCW kicked the opening goal of the final quarter. However, the tenacious Kangas kicked the final five goals of the game to record a 12.8 (80) to 10.15 (75) victory. Frankston YCW went into the game without Scott McLeod, Ricky Morris, Ben Tellis, Luke Collins, Ash Eames and Anthony Barry. Despite the missing key players Gavin Artico said the four points was all that counted. “Obviously, we were all aware of the quality of players they had missing,” Artico said. “Unfortunately, us winning the game was always going to be due to ‘YCW missing players’. It (the result) was always going to be more about YCW and less about us. Fact of the matter is, in my opinion, we proved that we have greater depth, adapted better and were full of running in the end. We ran all over them. “We are missing Dylan Luxa, Andrew Withers, Hayden Golby, Dale Eames and our 2014 B&F winner, Liam Hogan. You could argue that they are not as big a names as the players YCW was missing but for us, they are equally as valuable. They are all well and truly in our best side. “By quarter time on Saturday, we lost Jayden Grose and Nick Hammill. Grose had back spasms, so we were down a midfield rotation, while Hammill courageously put his body on the line and got knocked out. So this robbed us of a key position player. Again, we had to adapt and our players had to step up to the plate. “I was really proud of the way they turned things around. We came at them hard and whilst they tried to defend, we attacked and continued to try and score. We could have rolled over but that’s not our style. It was a good confidence builder for the group and again highlights that if we play the way we want to and stick to that, then the results would come,” Artico said. Matty Dinkos booted five goals for the Kangas while Gerard Brown continued his domination with four majors. Matty Naughton rucked for most of the game and was outstanding. Shane Paterson was again dominant. “Patto is really relishing his onfield leadership role and
being part of the midfield group. He’s missed a lot of footy and it was always going to take time. He was never going to forget how to find the footy and be courageous, which are his strengths. It was the touch he needed and it’s well and truly back,” Artico said. Anthony Bruhn booted three goals for the Stonecats while Kevin Lylak was amongst the best in his return game. Pines came back to earth with a massive thud after being touched up by Mornington at Alexandra Park. Missing skipper Jamie Messina with a seasonending knee injury, the Pythons were always going to struggle at Mornington, despite their four wins to open the season. Guy Hendry was the side’s most productive forward with three while Corey Ash was named his side’s best. The day belonged to the Doggies and they provided just how much ground Pines needs to make-up to be competitive against the best in the competition. Jimmy Cameron was unstoppable around the footy while the likes of Joel Miller and Adam Symes continued their dominant starts to the season. Ryan O’Dell also found a heap of the footy and Michael Gay, despite not being 100 per cent fit, dominated the ruck. The Dogs were in control for the duration and won 14.14 (99) to 6.13 (49). Former St Kilda star Stephen Milne had little impact on Chelsea as they went down to Bonbeach by 31 points. Whilst he kicked a goal, Milne was unable to stop Bonbeach’s onslaught, going down 12.9 (81) to 6.14 (50). Chris Bryan booted four for the winners while Justin Bennett and Mark Tyrell booted a couple each. Anthony Carrio got a heap of the footy, as did Matt Douglas and skipper Gary Carpenter for the Sharks. Hudson Thomas and Grant Trew were the best of the Gulls. Seaford is in big trouble. The Tigers kicked just two goals against Mt Eliza on Saturday. Justin Van Unen was back from his hamstring injury and booted seven goals in the 14.18 (102) to 2.7 (19) victory. Dave Barton and Blair Whelan dominated. Kayle Henderson and Josh Stokes were the best of the Tigers. Edithvale had 42 scoring shots to Karingal’s 22 on Saturday and recorded a 55-point win. Mick Meehan booted four goals and Brett O’Hanlon and Jarrod Garth three each for the Eagles while Aaron Paxton booted three for the Bulls. Matt Clark collected another best on ground for the Eagles while Stevey Mannix wasn’t far behind. Jordan Jones and Aaron Lees were the best of the Bulls.

Eagles show strength against Sharks NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt SOMERVILLE announced itself as a genuine premiership threat on Saturday when it held on to beat Sorrento in Nepean Division. The win saw the Eagles replace Sorrento in the top five, while relegating the opposition to seventh place on the ladder. It’s the second loss in a row for the Sharks after they went down to ladder leaders Red Hill by 16 points two weeks ago. Whilst the Eagles walked away with the four points on Saturday, it wasn’t all one way traffic. Somerville booted four goals to zip in the opening quarter and looked to be cruising at the 15 minute mark of the second when they answered a surge from the Sharks. However, four straight goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half saw the visitors walk off the ground with a one point lead. The second half was an arm wrestle. Sorrento dominated the inside 50s count in the third quarter (15 to 9) but could only manage 2.1 to Somerville’s
3.1. Sorrento’s inability to score was due to the good work of the defence of Somerville, led by Ben Sedgewick and Tim Hirst, who provided plenty of drive, as well as the strong work of Kane McKenzie and Todd Farrelly. Only one goal was scored in the last quarter, which came off the boot of Adrian Speedy, who finished with two majors for the afternoon and 16 possessions in the second half for the Eagles. Tyrren Head and Daniel Grant were outstanding for the Sharks, while Myles Pitt and Leigh Poholke each finished with four goals. Somerville had a much larger spread of good players. Timmy McGennis was the best player on the ground with 28 possessions, while Rohan Hogenbirk was solid with 24 touches. Steve Crowe did a wonderful job minding Leigh Treeby, keeping the stand-in coach to just nine possessions for the match. Justin Farrelly controlled the ruck contests at centre bounces and around the ground, beating both Chris Morgan and Jon Croad. We saw a different side of Somer-
ville on Saturday – a more mature side. They jumped out of the blocks strongly for the first time this season, responded to a fightback and then got down and dirty to fight for ground in an arm wrestle. With wins now against Sorrento and Red Hill, it’s fair to say now that the Eagles have earned the respect they were looking for in the competition. Crib Point had a fairytale season in last year. In 2015, the Magpies’ season is over. The Pies hosted Frankston Bombers on the home deck on Saturday and simply had to win to keep their season alive. Winless to this point, Frankston Bombers too had a bit to prove. The Bombers led at every change and deserved to get the four points, which they did with a 11.11 (77) to 10.13 (73) victory. Nathan Lonie returned for the Bombers and while not setting the world on fire, provided enormous and much needed experience to a young outfit. Zac Longham booted four goals after missing last week for personal rea-
sons and James Degenhardt was the best player on the ground. The Bombers haven’t been that far off the mark and deserved a win under new coach Beau Muston. Crib Point had their chances to steal the game, however, fell short in the big moments. Dean Karies and Lee Koerner were the best of the Pies. Both Bombers and Crib Point have one win for the season and in a tight, 16-round competition, will not take part of finals actions. Dromana stormed home with a seven goal to one last quarter on Saturday to beat Pearcedale by 24 points, 12.16 (88) to 10.4 (64). Pearcedale led by 16 points at three quarter time and booted the first goal of the final term to lead by a game high 21 points, before the Tigers kicked the final seven goals of the match. 16-yeard-old Sam Fowler was superb once again for the Tigers with six goals. It was a fitting result given it was Adam Hunter’s final game in the seniors. Hunter goes into hospital for surgery this week before again tackling the fight against cancer, which
has re-emerged on his liver. The footy world is right behind Hunter. Pearcedale youngsters Lachy Marshall and Daniel Heijden were their best players. Hastings remains the only undefeated team in the competition and sits in second place on the ladder after beating Devon Meadows on Saturday. The Blues controlled the match for the majority of the contest with Luke Hewitt and Colin McVeigh booting four and three goals respectively. Beau Miller and Steven McInnes were the best of the Panthers while Kyle Beveridge booted a couple and was also solid over four quarters. In the final game, Josh Mold booted a career-high 10 goals for Red Hill in their 25.12 (162) to 4.6 (30) victory against Tyabb. Michael Chaplin also had a breakout game for the Hillmen with six goals and Josh Mold finished with five. Sean Holmes and Paul Wintle dominated. It was a tough day at the office for the Yabbies, although James Cottrell was a stand out.
